2020 PENN STATE SOFTBALL
NITTANY LION SOFTBALL PARK & BEARD FIELD A facility years in the making, state-of-the-art and second to none — that is what Nittany Lion Softball Park and Beard Field provides to the Penn State athletic community. With numerous donations and the Penn State’s Board of Trustees’ approval, construction of the $10.2 million complex was completed in time for the 2011 season. The facility houses the Nittany Lion softball team and allows the program to compete with the best in the country. The complex features 1,084 permanent seats with fantastic sight lines, accessible seating, concession stands, permanent bathrooms and merchandise areas for fans. On the softball side of things, the field with irrigation, dugouts, batting cages and tunnels, bullpens, scoreboard and a state-of-the-art lighting system make Nittany Lion Softball Park a collegiate softball gem.
State for the right to go to the NCAA Super Regionals. In the three-day event, nearly 1,900 fans streamed through the turnstiles. Oregon would eventually be the team that advanced, but not before an exciting 16-inning midnight thriller between Penn State and Fordham. The Nittany Lions prevailed, 5-2, in the secondlongest game in PSU history. As if the NCAA event wasn’t exciting enough, Penn State then hosted the PIAA Softball Championships. Four games in one day on a sparkling afternoon in midJune had nearly 3,000 fans attend. The first game of the day featured local powerhouse Philipsburg-Osceola and Brandywine Heights with a standing room-only crowd of 1,800 spectators. The PIAA is committed to Penn State through the 2020 event as Nittany Lion Softball Park and Happy Valley Hospitality earned rave reviews.
The complex consolidates the team’s resources into one area with new training rooms, media center, video room, study space, locker rooms and coaches’ offices all housed at the softball park. A new press area behind home plate was constructed, which further enhanced the amenities of the stadium.
Nittany Lion Softball Park is located on the corner of Park Avenue and University Drive, facing the Bryce Jordan Center, Mount Nittany and University Drive to the southeast, providing spectacular views and a gorgeous setting for all who attend softball games.
Key benefactors of the project allowed Nittany Lion Softball Park to take shape and get off the ground. The playing field was named Beard Field in recognition of a generous donation from Lee and William Beard in October 2009. The Penn State locker room was be named the Fran Vanden Locker Room, recognizing a gift from George and Frances Vanden. Another major donation came from the James M. and Margaret V. Stine Foundation to name both the Softball Office Complex and Media Center in honor of the Stine Family. Art and Paige Nagle also contributed to the project and one of the assistant coaches’ offices dons their names.
NITTANY LION SOFTBALL PARK & BEARD FIELD RECORDS
Penn State’s first game in its new home was March 26, 2011, a thrilling 8-5 victory over Wisconsin. Plenty of firsts were delivered that afternoon and none more memorable than Lisa Akamine’s inside-the-park home run as Penn State overcame a three-run deficit to win the inaugural game. For the season, Penn State boasted an 11-8-1 record on Beard Field in its first campaign. It was the first winning season at home since 2007 for the Nittany Lions, which coincided with PSU’s last trip to the NCAA Tournament before 2011. The stadium paid dividends immediately for the Nittany Lion program as Penn State hosted the 2011 NCAA Regionals. The event marked the first time PSU hosted NCAA softball in 28 years as Oregon, Fordham and Albany competed with Penn 6

“Bill and I are both very pleased to be a small part of this very impressive facility. For us, the decision to give to this facility, to this program, was easy because one of our big passions is certainly the students of this university, but in particular the softball program. Our passion to help the softball program is because we’ve watched this program grow. There are some common links to this group [of donors]: Fran and George [Vanden], the Stine Family, Peter and Ann Nagle, Bill and I all have in common a link in believing that this is a program that deserves the typical Penn State, first-class facility to be successful.”
“Nittany Lions Softball Park is one of the most beautiful facilities in the country. This great facility will certainly impact our recruiting efforts as it attracts some of the best talent in the country. We feel very blessed and are very excited to play on Beard Field. It is amazing to have such great support from the Beards.”

HEAD COACH AMANDA LEHOTAK
AMANDA LEHOTAK Head Coach • Seventh Season Nebraska-Omaha ’03 RECORD AT PENN STATE: 129-193 (.401) CAREER RECORD: 317-399 (.443) Amanda Lehotak enters her seventh season at the helm of Penn State softball in 2020. In 2019, Lehotak and her Nittany Lions totaled 24 wins, the most since the 2016 season, and continued its increase in offensive production. The Penn State offense hit 49 home runs, a program record, with senior Toni Polk and freshman Chelsea Bisi accounting for 13 each. The pitching staff showed steady improvement combined with the defense to shut out six opponents, the most shutouts since the 2011 season, while registering 310 strikeouts. Lehotak led the 2017 Nittany Lions to two wins over ranked opponents, beating then-No. 4 LSU and then-No. 25 Ohio State. She guided first-team AllBig Ten selection Tori Dubois to a .457 batting average in Big Ten play for third in the conference. Senior Shelby Miller closed out her career ranking second in the Penn State record book with 118 RBI while senior Kristina Brackpool moved to No. 7 all-time with 106 RBI and No. 9 alltime with 19 home runs. In the circle, pitcher Marlaina Laubach started a team-best 25 games and threw 14 complete games en route to 12 wins as a senior. The right-handed hurler closed her career as Penn State’s alltime leader with 139 appearances in the circle with 611.1 innings of work for fifth and 46 career victories for sixth. Penn State’s 2016 season was its most successful since the 2011 campaign as Lehotak and the Nittany Lions posted 30 wins and had a fourth-place 14-8 Big Ten record. The Nittany Lions registered a record-breaking .314 batting average with 468 hits which included 75 doubles and rewrote both the team and individual record book.
The Blue & White got off to its best start in conference action in the history of the program with an 11-3 record before winning a program-best five conference series, sweeping three. The 2016 Nittany Lion offense had 23 games with 10 or more hits and scored 10 or more runs on nine occasions. Penn State advanced to the 2016 Big Ten Tournament semifinals for just the third time in program history with three student-athletes earning first-team AllBig Ten accolades. Seniors Macy Jones and Lexi Knief and sophomore Alyssa VanDerveer earned the honors, marking the first time since 2013 Penn State had a first-team honoree and the second time in program history that the Nittany Lions had three first-team nods. VanDerveer and Shelby Miller captured Big Ten All-Tournament team honors with VanDerveer knocking a grand slam in the quarterfinal and Miller having a solid effort on both sides of the ball. Jones capped off her career as a NFCA AllGreat Lakes Region First-Team honoree and Knief earned third-team honors for the second-straight season. In 2016, Jones broke the Penn State career RBI record and walk record with 137 career RBI and 100 career walks and ranks in the top 10 in six singleseason batting categories and nine career batting categories. Knief closed her career in the top 10 of seven career batting categories. VanDerveer tied the single-game RBI record, driving in seven against Fordham, while breaking the single-season RBI record with 50. The Nittany Lions captured another record, an NCAA mark, when they hit two grand slams in one inning against Wisconsin on April 3, 2015. The Blue & White’s two grand slams came from
Shelby Miller and Reina Furuya who both launched hits over the fence in the fourth inning, earning them a featured spot in Sports Illustrated. VanDerveer hit three grand slams during the 2015 season, which tied her for third in NCAA history.

ASSISTANT COACHES SARAH CAFFREY
ALISA GOLER PERRIN
Assistant Coach Fifth Season Jacksonville ’12

Sarah Caffrey (Sigrest) enters her fifth season as an assistant coach for Penn State softball in 2020 after being hired by head coach Amanda Lehotak in August 2015.
Alisa Goler Perrin enters her second season as an assistant coach for Penn State softball in 2020 after being hired by head coach Amanda Lehotak in June 2018.
Caffrey works primarily with the pitchers and catchers and serves as the recruiting coordinator for Penn State. She assists with all camps and clinics.
Goler Perrin works primarily with the offense as the Nittany Lions’ hitting coach and assists with recruiting.
During the 2019 season, Caffrey coached the Penn State pitching staff to a combined 310 strikeouts, an average of 5.98 strikeouts per seven innings. The pitching staff, combined with the defense, also shut out six opponents, including two in Big Ten play, the most shutouts since the 2011 season.
In her first season at Penn State in 2019, Goler Perrin led the Nittany Lion offense to a record-setting season. The Blue & White hit a program-record 49 home runs in 2019 while batting .261 as a team, the sixth-highest average in program history. The team also averaged a .427 slugging percentage, thirdhighest all-time.
Freshman left-handed pitcher Bailey Parshall touted 184 strikeouts, tied for eighth-most in a single season. Parshall also recorded five saves in 2019, the most by a Penn State pitcher in a single season. Caffrey also coached junior transfer pitcher and State College native Hannah Shields as she led the nation in walks allowed per seven innings, giving up just seven free bases in 69.0 innings of work. In her second season as the pitching coach, Caffrey helped Penn State see an increase in complete games going from 16 in 2016 to 25 in 2017, while strikeouts jumped from 180 to 194 in the 2017 campaign. Senior Marlaina Laubach started a team-best 25 games and threw 14 complete games en route to 12 wins in 2016. The righty closed out her career as the all-time leader with 139 appearances in the circle. Laubach tallied 46 career victories to rank sixth all-time and tossed 611.1 innings to rank fifth while her 49 complete games and 323 strikeouts rank seventh all-time. Caffrey worked with Laubach to earn Big Ten Pitcher of the Week honors, marking the first time a Nittany Lion earned the honor since the 2011 season. Prior to Penn State, Caffrey served as an assistant coach at Utah State for two seasons. She helped the Aggies pitching staff to 37 wins as well as coaching stand-out pitcher Noelle Johnson to two 16-win seasons. Under Caffrey’s tutelage, Johnson struck out 214 batters in the 2014 campaign, a single-season program record. Johnson added 131 strikeouts in 2015 to rank third all-time at Utah State heading into her senior season. Caffrey was a volunteer assistant coach at Texas Tech where she worked with both pitchers and catchers and scouted opponents, planned team camps and coordinated community service efforts. Caffrey was a four-year starter in the circle for then-head coach Amanda Lehotak at Jacksonville from 2009-12. She was named the Atlantic Sun Pitcher of the Year in 2011, recording a 27-7 overall record and leading the Dolphins to their first NCAA Tournament appearance. Caffrey pitched 46.2 scoreless innings in the 2011 campaign, finishing the year with the eighth-best earned run average in the nation (1.10) and becoming the only Dolphin pitcher to strike out more than 200 batters in a single season. The right-handed hurler finished her career at Jacksonville holding six school records including wins (68), games started (96), innings pitched (634.0), strikeouts (548), opponent batting average against (.222), and fewest walks per seven innings (1.45).
Goler Perrin guided senior Toni Polk to hit 13 home runs in 2019 and secondteam All-Big Ten honors after only hitting one in each of the previous three seasons. Freshman Chelsea Bisi also hit 13 home runs and was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team. Prior to Penn State, Goler Perrin spent three seasons at Syracuse, most recently as the associate head coach. She served as the infield and hitting coach and the recruiting coordinator for the Orange. Under Goler Perrin’s direction, the Orange set three single-season team offensive records in 2017, including batting average (.307), hits (433), and onbase percentage (.388). The 2017 season also saw a single-season record for fielding percentage (.976). At Syracuse, Goler Perrin helped coach 2017 NFCA All-American Sydney O’Hara who boasted a .476 batting average, .626 on-base percentage and .833 slugging percentage to set single-season Orange records. In the 2018 season, Goler Perrin helped junior Bryce Holmgren lead the ACC is both batting average (.413) and on-base percentage (.549). Goler Perrin served as the hitting coach and aided in local recruiting at Roosevelt University from 2014-15. Goler Perrin also spent seven seasons (2011-18) in the National Pro Fastpitch League where she was named Rookie of the Year in 2011 and was a two-time All-NPF Team honoree. As a student-athlete at Georgia, Goler Perrin was a three-time All-American, four-time first-team All-Southeast Region selection, and three-time first-team All-SEC honoree. She set UGA single-season records for batting average (.455), slugging percentage (.994), on-base percentage (.551), home runs (24), extra-base hits (41), RBI (83), and total bases (164). Off the field Goler Perrin was a four-time SEC Academic Honor Roll member and a member of the SEC Community Service Team. She earned first-team Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award honors and CoSIDA Academic All-District firstteam honors in 2011.

2020 PENN STATE SOFTBALL
UNIVERSITY PROFILE Penn State’s historic mission of teaching, research, and public service — launched under the most modest of circumstances more than 150 years ago — now reaches into virtually all parts of Pennsylvania. Consider, for example, that the University now has 24 campuses across the Commonwealth, putting a Penn State education within practical reach of nearly every Pennsylvanian. In fact, more than 70 percent of Penn State’s undergraduates are Pennsylvania residents. Penn State is Pennsylvania’s largest nongovernmental employer and has employees and expenditures in every one of its 67 counties. The University generates a total economic impact across the Commonwealth that surpasses $17 billion annually. Part of that impact is derived from Penn State’s research program, which brought more than $534 million in federal funds to Pennsylvania last year, and an additional $91 million from private industry. In addition, as part of its Invent Penn State initiative, the University has funded 21 innovation hubs, designed to bolster entrepreneurship and economic development in communities surrounding its campuses across Pennsylvania. Penn State’s outreach and online programs — ranging from 4H to Cooperative Extension, from summer camps to public broadcasting — provide educational and service programs to more than a million Pennsylvania households annually. The University’s presence throughout Pennsylvania today contrasts sharply with its humble beginnings. Chartered as a college of scientific agriculture, the institution was located in rural Centre County after James Irvin, a partner in the Centre Furnace iron works (remains of which can be seen today along East College Avenue), offered to donate 200 acres of farmland for a campus. Founding President Evan Pugh wanted the fledgling institution to embody a new approach to higher education that blended classical studies with subjects that had practical value. He joined similar visionaries in other states in convincing Congress to pass the Morrill Land-Grant Act in 1862. The act gave individual states tracts of federal land to sell; the proceeds supported colleges that agreed to include engineering, science and the liberal arts as well as agriculture in their courses of studies. In 1863, the Pennsylvania legislature designated Penn State the Commonwealth’s sole land-grant institution. The lawmakers in effect bestowed on the privately incorporated college a public character. In return for state support, the institution assumed obligations of teaching, research and service that are normally associated with publicly owned land-grant universities in other states. By the 1890s Penn State was making its mark. It ranked among the nation’s 10 largest undergraduate engineering schools, a distinction it still holds. It established one of the nation’s first collegiate agricultural experiment stations, and Professor Whitman Jordan’s pioneering research on using fertilizers for soil enrichment had global impact on crop yields. Penn State in 1871 became one of the first land-grant schools in the Northeast to admit women, graduated its first international student in 1890, and its first African American student in 1905. In the early 1900s, President Edwin E. Sparks supported a number of efforts to “carry the college to the people,” as he liked to say. Technical institutes were established in various locations statewide for engineering education, beginning with an evening school in Allentown in 1910. In 1912, Penn State helped create a system of county agents in agriculture and home economics. Today, the Penn State World Campus, with its “anywhere, anytime” learning through the Internet, builds on that outreach tradition. But undergraduate education remained foremost. Enrollment surpassed 5,000 by 1936, including those attending several undergraduate centers that were created for students who, in the depths of the Great Depression, could not afford to leave their hometowns to get a college education. The centers offered the first year of baccalaurete studies and were the predecessors of today’s statewide system of 66

campuses. Thanks to this innovative approach to higher education, Penn State in the 1930s became Pennsylvania’s largest single source of baccalaureate degrees, a distinction it holds to this day. Following World War II, Penn State underwent unprecedented expansion, first to meet the needs of returning military veterans and later to accommodate the Baby Boom generation. Total enrollment at all Penn State campuses climbed to 40,000 by 1970. The University also emerged on the national scene as a research powerhouse in fields as diverse as dairy science, acoustics, psychology and diesel engineering. The expansion of research went hand in hand with a steady increase in the number of graduate students. The University awarded its first graduate degree — a master’s degree in scientific agriculture — in 1862, and the Graduate School was established in 1922. But overall graduate enrollment remained modest until the 1950s, then swelled steadily. The Graduate School has awarded to date approximately 130,000 master’s, doctoral and other advanced degrees. The University Park campus is Penn State’s administrative and research hub. In addition, there are 19 primarily undergraduate campuses; Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and the College of Medicine; the Pennsylvania College of Technology; Penn State Law: Dickinson Law; the Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies; and the Penn State World Campus. To date, Penn State has awarded more than 840,000 undergraduate degrees, hallmarks of an educational experience second to none in quality. In addition, Penn State alumni — including 348,000 in Pennsylvania alone — have job- and social-networking opportunities that no other college or university in the Commonwealth can surpass.

Barron has nearly 40 years of leadership experience in academic administration, education, research and public service, and a track record as a talented manager of fiscal policy within large and complex institutions. In recognition of his expertise and leadership in higher education, he was named chairman of the Commission on Economic and Community Engagement (CECE) for the Association of Public Land-grant Universities (APLU) in fall 2017. He also serves on the Board of Directors of APLU, and Kish Bancorp, Inc.; the Board of Trustees for University Corporation for Atmosphere Research (UCAR), and Universities Research Association (URA); and he is a member of the Knight Commission and the College Football Playoff Board of Managers. As leader of Penn State, Barron oversees a research enterprise of more than $920 million and 24 campus locations. His responsibilities include oversight of two law schools, the internationally recognized online educational enterprise known as the Penn State World Campus, and a nearly $2 billion health enterprise, including the Penn State College of Medicine, the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, and the Penn State Health network, which extends throughout Central Pennsylvania. Penn State’s current enrollment is approximately 99,000 students, and the University boasts the world’s largest dues-paying alumni association in the world. During his tenure as president of Penn State, Barron has prioritized access and affordibility; diversity and inclusion; student engagement; economic development; job creation and student career success; and technology. He is focused on helping Penn State fulfill its land-grant mission as a modern university, and supports “One Penn State 2025,” an initiative to reimagine student learning and support services across all campuses to boost student success, engagement with the University, and the efficient use of its resources.
Barron’s Invent Penn State initiative supports investment in entrepreneurship and innovation programs, tools and resources that accelerate the movement of great ideas to the marketplace and make a substantial economic development impact in Pennsylvania and beyond. Since its inception in 2015, Invent Penn State has partnered with the University’s campuses across the Commonwealth to open 21 innovation hubs available to the surrounding communities. These hubs have aided nearly 2,000 entrepreneurs; engaged more than 5,000 faculty, staff and students with 170 new product development projects; created more than 45 new companies in Pennsylvania with more than 424 new jobs and internships; generated nearly $800,000 in in-kind support; and brought in more than $4.5 million in external matched/leveraged funds. Barron earned a bachelor of science degree in geology at Florida State in 1973 before moving on to the University of Miami, where he earned master’s and doctoral degrees in oceanography. At Penn State, Dr. Barron served as dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences from 2002-06, and as founding director of the Earth Systems Science Center, one of the first major initiatives focused on the total study of Earth as a system. He also had a simultaneous appointment as director of the Earth and Mineral Sciences Environment Institute. In 1999, he was named Distinguished Professor of Geosciences at Penn State. An accomplished scientist with a long background in atmospheric research, Barron served as director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research and as dean of the Jackson School of Geosciences a the University of Texas at Austin.
