Bison Good Sports
In 2006, the Bucknell Department of Athletics and Recreation announced its new “Bison Good Sports!” campaign, a sportsmanship awareness program designed to promote appropriate fan conduct at all Bison sporting events. The objective of the campaign, according to Bucknell director of athletics and recreation John Hardt “is to thank fans for the tremendous energy and enthusiasm they bring to each Bucknell athletics contest while also empowering them as caretakers of the collegiate gameday experience. While the extremes of unwanted behavior and its impact on home and visiting fans are not commonplace at Bison athletics events, Bucknell and our visiting teams ask for our fans’ help in keeping their support of our teams positive and cheer with positive encouragement, rather than supporting an atmosphere of intimidation that attempts to degrade opposing players and teams. We hope that our fans will continue to join our players, coaches and staff in helping all spectators find creative and ingenious ways to positively support our Bucknell student-athletes.”

What it means to
Be a Bison
The term “student-athlete” signifies something extraordinary on the campus of Bucknell University. Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics. Being a Bison also means that you are a scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athletics, such as time management, leadership, teamwork and grace under pressure, are but a part of a well-rounded college experience. At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics. Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a student-athlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime.
Junior Bryan Adams
“... the pursuit of athletics in college need not interfere with a fellow’s studies, and if you give a boy a well developed body his brain will get the benefit of it.” — Christy Mathewson, in his book Won in the Ninth, written in 1910
Athletics Mission Statement The Department of Athletics and Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher education, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values, and educational goals of Bucknell University. The Department believes that student-athletes’ academic programs must be their first priority. It is therefore committed to maintaining Bucknell’s high national ranking for student-athletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to continued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on grade-point averages. The coaches’ and staff’s paramount responsibility is maintaining academic priorities and supporting student-athletes’ education, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic opportunities Bucknell student-athletes seek. Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, development, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebrating challenge and competition; and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff, as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relationships with Bucknell. The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramural level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competition maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell. A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to providing equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. The Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the NCAA. The department is proud that so many of today’s exemplary Bison scholar-athletes will be tomorrow’s outstanding leaders.

BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
Training Bison Student-Athletes to Become Effective Leaders in Academics, in Athletics, and in Life
Competitive sports at Bucknell dates back to 1870, and more than a century later Bucknell has established itself as a national leader in providing successful academic and athletic opportunities for student-athletes. Today, the Department of Athletics & Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence among all intercollegiate programs by maintaining academic priorities and supporting educational and personal development, all while providing the rigorous and competitive Division I athletics opportunity sought by Bucknell student-athletes. As Bison Athletics seeks to create a comprehensive learning environment that meshes with the academic mission of the University, an important element of the complete student-athlete experience is participation in an elite leadership development program designed to identify, develop, challenge and support student-athletes and coaches in their continual quest to become leaders in academics, in athletics and in life. This is the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. ABOUT THE PROGRAM • In the summer of 2011 the Bucknell Department of Athletics & Recreation implemented a formal leadership development program. • Initial workshops were facilitated by the Janssen Sports Leadership Center. • As part of a Patriot League-wide leadership initiative, the program is designed to help studentathletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. • Initially, a group of 60 student-athletes were identified as members. These workshops for both student-athletes and their coaches have set the stage for ongoing programming that will encompass the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. GOALS FOR THE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY • Identify and develop high potential leaders in their sophomore or junior years • Help young best athletes become best leaders • Create strong leaders by example and set the stage for developing vocal leaders • Build a strong peer support network for aspiring leaders • Develop leaders who support and learn from current team captains/leaders • Practice leading self, their class, and below • Succession Planning — smoothly replace graduating leaders • Encourage veteran leaders to step up and be vocal leaders • Establish a solid, cooperative and ongoing partnership with the coaching staff • Teach and apply the insights and skills necessary to be a responsible and respected leader • Provide veteran leaders with ongoing coaching and support as they tackle the tough issues of team leadership • Provide veteran leaders with a solid peer network for guidance and support • Provide veteran leaders with highly marketable leadership skills for a lifetime

BUCKNELL BISON ATHLETICS
A NATIONAL MODEL IN PROMOTING THE SCHOLAR-ATHLETE IDEAL Bucknell Athletics is first and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national leader when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place. BUCKNELL BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY: In 2011-12, the Department of Athletics launched the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. This program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. The Leadership Academy features programming and instruction that bridge theory, development and real experiences in an interactive learning environment. Through this endeavor, team leaders can enhance their impact on their teammates’ and their program’s performance immediately and for years to come. FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Bucknell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which affords them opportunities to enjoy a full range of collegiate experiences. SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff, including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is introduced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena. ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfitted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice. In addition, the Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips. STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for promoting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and efforts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body. Among the programs the Bucknell SAAC has undertaken in recent years are regular volunteer trips to the Lewisburg Food Bank, and involvement with the “Orange and Blue goes Green” sustainability program. BISON GOOD SPORTS: Now in its ninth year, Bison Good Sports is a sportsmanship awareness program designed to promote appropriate fan conduct at all Bison sporting events. Bucknell teams have some of the best fan support in the Patriot League, and we encourage all fans to enthusiastically cheer on the Orange & Blue in a positive manner.

SEASON PREVIEW
The Bucknell men’s tennis team has high hopes as it gets set to open its 2016 season, setting its goals on winning the first Patriot League title in program history. “You can tell they put in a lot of work over the winter, working on their conditioning and getting stronger,” said third-year head coach Craig Schwartz. “On the court we have been tuning up our game, and we are excited about this season.” Bucknell was picked fifth in the nine-team Patriot League in a vote of the league’s coaches and sports information directors during the preseason, but has its sights set much higher than that. The Bison have a reason to be optimistic after losing just one senior from a team that went 14-9 and advanced to the semifinals of the Patriot League Tournament last season. They rolled past Colgate 4-0 in the quarterfinals and gave topseeded Army West Point all it could handle before falling 4-2 in the semis. “We have a lot of young players with just having the one senior and the one junior. But I think with the leadership we do have we are set to have a really big season ahead of us,” Schwartz said. The team’s captain and unquestioned top player is Nick Bybel. The senior is the most prolific player in program history, earning Patriot League Player of the Year honors in each of the past two seasons. He is the team’s career record holder in singles victories at 93-25 and in overall victories at 160-55. This past season he teamed with junior Bryan Adams to win the Patriot League Doubles Team of the Year accolade. Bybel became the first player in program history to earn a national ranking last season, and then debuted at 95th in the country this past fall. Currently, he is listed 18th in the rugged Atlantic Region. Twelve of the 17 players ranked in front of him are out of the ACC and Big Ten.

“The big thing with Nick is he’s willing to do the little things on a daily basis with extra stretching, getting into the weight room extra time and getting on the court whenever he can,” Schwartz said. “That’s really what separates a player like that. I think he’s going to continue to improve. The big thing he wants is for the team to win the Patriot League Championship. Individually, there isn’t much more he can do in the league, so he is really focused on the team right now.” Bybel certainly did his part to lead the team during the 2015 spring season, posting a dual record of 22-1, including a streak of 21 straight wins to end the season. He was a perfect 5-0 against Patriot League opponents during the regular season and added a pair of wins in the conference tournament. Sophomore Daniel Wright had an outstanding debut spring season last year, posting a record of 17-5. Schwartz was able to slot him in nearly any spot in the lineup, including No. 2 where he posted a record of 6-3. He was also 6-1 at No. 3 singles and 5-1 at No. 3. Wright wasn’t the only freshman to post a winning dual record in his first spring season at Bucknell. Max Kane was 11-10, including a 6-6 record at No. 5 singles. Ben Gerber went 7-6, bolstered by a 3-2 mark at No. 6. Adams found success at No. 3, where he went 4-2. The Bison could receive a boost from the improved play of sophomore Timber Erskine this season. Erskine saw action in just two dual matches last season, but was outstanding this past fall. He went 7-2 in tournament play, winning the title at the Bison Invite and taking runner-up honors at the Farnsworth Invitational. Playing their first spring season after a successful fall will be freshmen Max Haase, Max McDonald and Andrei Vitiuc.

COACH SCHWARTZ Craig SCHWARTZ
Head Coach
Dowling ’01 | 3rd season At Bucknell: 17-25 Craig Schwartz is set to begin his third season as head coach of the Bucknell men’s tennis team and his fourth season overall at Bucknell, having served as current Bison coordinator of tennis Rebecca Helt’s assistant for one year. Schwartz led Bucknell to one of the biggest turnarounds in program history in 2015. Just one season removed from a rebuilding effort that saw the Bison tally three wins, they finished 14-9 and advanced to the semifinals of the Patriot League Tournament. The season concluded with the Bison winning two major awards, as Nick Bybel was voted the PL Player of the Year and teamed with Bryan Adams to win Doubles Team of the Year. Under the tutelage of Schwartz, Bybel has become the most accomplished player in Bucknell men’s tennis history and still has a season left to add on to his already impressive resume. The two-time Patriot League Player of the Year, as well as the former Rookie of the Year, he finished his junior season as the program’s career record holder in singles wins with a mark of 86-21. The record was fueled by a Bucknell single-season record 38 wins. Prior to his time in Lewisburg, Schwartz spent five years as the head men’s tennis coach and tennis coordinator at Queens College in Flushing, New York. He led the Knights to an 88-28 record during his tenure, and his teams earned NCAA Tournament bids each year, advancing to the Round of 16 in each of his final four seasons. Schwartz, who was named the ITA East Region Coach
16
of the Year in 2009 and the ECC Coach of the Year in 2010 and 2012, coached two ITA All-Americans, three ECC Players of the Year and 23 ECC All-Conference selections during his five years with the program. Schwartz began his collegiate coaching career at his alma mater, embracing two stints as the head coach at Dowling College during which time he compiled a 26-18 record. He guided the team to an NCAA Tournament berth and NYCAC championship in the 2003-04 season, earning NYCAC Coach of the Year honors, and then returned to the program from 2005-07, leading the Golden Lions to two more NCAA Tournament appearances. A 2001 graduate of Dowling, Schwartz was also an accomplished collegiate and professional tennis player. He played at No. 1 singles and doubles during each of his four years at Dowling, earning the team’s MVP award on three occasions and captaining the squad as a junior and senior. A three-time NYCAC All-Conference selection, Schwartz was ranked as high as 17th in the country in Division II singles play during his senior year, and was named the NYCAC Player of the Year as well as the ITA East Region Senior Player of the Year during that campaign. Since his graduation from Dowling, Schwartz has remained active on the professional circuit, playing in numerous tennis tournaments around the world and winning the USTA National Open Indoor doubles title in both 2007 and 2008. He has been ranked as high as 833rd in ATP doubles, and has obtained 43 worldranking points throughout his professional doubles career. Additionally, Schwartz spent over a year in Germany as the personal coach of Marlene Weingartner, guiding her to the 35th spot in the WTA singles rankings.

The Kenneth Langone Athletics & Recreation Center The Bucknell University Department of Athletics and Recreation prides itself on setting the standard of excellence when it comes to success both on the playing fields and in the classroom. With 18 Patriot League Presidents’ Cups in 25 years, national leadership in graduation rates in 2015, 126 Academic All-Americans since 1970 and 139 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes in 25 years, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class in terms of upholding the scholar-athlete model. The addition of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center, one of the finest collegiate athletics and recreation venues of its kind, ensures the continuation of that success. The facility enhances each of Bucknell’s 27 varsity programs and greatly expands the scope of its growing intramural and recreational sports offerings. A visually appealing structure located along Moore Avenue on the “downhill” side of campus, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center was designed to reach out to all members of the campus community, including the student body, varsity student-athletes, faculty, staff and alumni. Three primary venues lie within the facility: the Arthur D. Kinney Jr. Natatorium, the 4,000-seat Gary A. Sojka Pavilion and the Krebs Family Fitness Center. Other features include a new location for the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, a display of Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, a brand new display highlighting Bucknell’s all-time Academic All-Americans, a sports medicine and athletic training suite, classrooms, modern offices for coaches and staff and increased locker room space for varsity and recreational athletes. The facility is named in honor of Ken Langone, a 1957 Bucknell graduate who, along with his wife Elaine, pledged $11 million toward the center’s construction. Langone was a member of the university Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1996. One of the special qualities of the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the manner in which it supplements the pre-existing facilities. The construction surrounds Gerhard Fieldhouse and historic Davis Gymnasium, which has been restored as a competition venue for the Bison wrestling and volleyball teams, as well as intramural, recreation and other varsity practice activities. As Bucknell continues to strive toward its mission of setting the standard of excellence in college athletics, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center becomes the centerpiece in an already impressive cache of athletics facilities that includes the 13,100-seat Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium and its newly installed FieldTurf and 8-lane track surface; the scenic Bucknell Golf Club and new indoor instructional facility; Depew Field, the home of the Bison baseball team; the Becker Field softball diamond; and Emmitt Field and Graham Field at Holmes Stadium, the new portion of the West Fields project that includes covered grandstand seats, ticket and concession areas, team rooms, a training room and a press box area for soccer, field hockey and women’s lacrosse.
