2014-15 Bucknell Women's Golf Guide by Bucknell University

BISON GOLF KEVIN JAMIESON HEAD COACH 15TH SEASON

Now in his 15th season as the head coach of Bucknell’s women’s golf team, Kevin Jamieson has continued to elevate the relatively young program to one of the region’s best. Only the second coach in the history of the Bucknell women’s golf program, Jamieson is currently on a quest to become a PGA Professional, with a longterm goal to be a golf professional in a teaching and golf course management area. Coaching the Bison women’s golf team has been a different challenge for Jamieson, but one that has been extraordinarily fulfilling. Jamieson has overseen his program’s transition into two different conferences during his tenure at Bucknell. In 2005, the Bison began play in the Big South Conference, and along with that move he upgraded the team’s schedule significantly. In their first two Big South Championship appearances, the Bison finished a solid sixth in a nine-team field, and in 2005 and 2006 the team moved up to fifth-place finishes with record-setting performances. In the spring of 2008, Bucknell finished fourth at the Big South Championship, and the Bison surpassed that performance with a third-place showing in 2011. In 2012-13 women’s golf became a Patriot League-sponsored sport, and in April 2013 the Bison hosted the inaugural Patriot League Women’s Golf Championship at the Bucknell Golf Club. The Bison placed second in that event and had three players earn All-Patriot League honors, while Jamieson earned the very first Patriot League Coach of the Year award. One year later, Bucknell earned its first conference title in the sport of women’s golf, as the Bison captured the 2014 Patriot League Championship at Saucon Valley CC. Under Jamieson’s watch, the Bison have consistently lowered their team and individual scoring records. In the spring of 2010, Minjoo Lee shot a thenschool-record 2-under-par 70 and the team produced a best-ever 303 at the Big South Championship. In the fall of 2011 freshman Bridget Wilcox posted a 3-under 69 at the Nittany Lion Invitational for the first sub-70 round in program history. Bucknell then had three sub-300 rounds in 2011-12, two of them coming at the prestigious Kiawah Island Intercollegiate, where the Bison qualified for the championship flight for the first time. Prior to the 2000-01 season, Jamieson succeeded program founder Brad Tufts, who retired from Bucknell after more than 41 years of service to the University. In addition to his duties as coach of the women’s golf team, Jamieson also serves as assistant golf professional at the Bucknell Golf Club. Prior to his stint at the BGC, Jamieson was the assistant pro at Williamsport Country Club under Professional Tom Cioffi. Jamieson also picked up golf experience in the state of Florida, where he was the second assistant professional at Sanctuary Golf Club on Sanibel Island and the assistant pro at the Country Club of Naples. Jamieson is a 1996 graduate of Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College), where he studied communications with an emphasis in interpersonal communication and a background in human resources. While at Western Maryland he captained the golf team from 1993 to 1996. In the summer of 1992, he caddied for former professional Nicole Danforth on the Futures Tour. His father, Sid, coached the Bucknell men’s lacrosse team from the program’s inception in 1968 until his retirement after the 2005 season. Kevin, his wife, Courtney, and their two young children, reside in Lewisburg.

WHAT IT MEANS TO

BE A BISON

“... 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

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, contribute to 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. Meghan Garanich was one of a league-high seven Bison named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in 2013-14.

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 eighth 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.

BACHMAN GOLF CENTER The Bucknell campus community, and in particular the Bison varsity golf programs, now has a wonderful new addition in the form of the Bachman Golf Center. Ground was broken on the facility in September 2010, the indoor space was completed in the spring of 2011, and by the summer of 2011 the facility was fully functional, including the spacious new outdoor practice range and putting and short game areas. The Bachman Golf Center is a multi-purpose, indoor/ outdoor facility that is located adjacent to the existing practice range, just across Smoketown Road from the 11th hole of the Bucknell Golf Club. The 5,600 square-foot building houses coaches’ offices and locker rooms for the Bison men’s and women’s teams, a video-equipped swing diagnostic area, indoor putting green and hitting bays, and a conference room. Next to the building is a new 16,000-square-foot practice tee, a 10,000-square-foot, two-tiered putting green and a 5,700-square-foot short-game practice green with bunkers. The Bison varsity golf teams have full access to the facility, while Bucknell Golf Club members have fee-for-use access outside the varsity playing seasons. The project was completely supported by donors. “This wonderful new learning center significantly enhances our ability to practice and prepare, both as a team and individually,” said former Bucknell men’s golf coach Jim Cotner. “Today’s young players want to be able to work on their games all year round, and an indoor facility is essential to be able to attract top players to the Northeast. I also think the facility plays a big role in enhancing our team unity. It provides us with a central location where our players can get together throughout the year.” “This project has been a long time in the making, and it is a dream come true,” said Bucknell women’s golf coach Kevin Jamieson. “On behalf of the Bison golf programs, we thank every player, parent and friend that has paved the way for this project to become a reality. This facility allows us to compete for some of the best players in the country that are looking for not only one of the best academic institutions, but one that can also offer wonderful practice facilities along with one of the nation’s best collegiate golf courses.”

The 18-hole course is complemented by a full-service restaurant and well-stocked pro shop, managed by veteran PGA Class A Professional Brian Kelly. The BGC also features a large practice range with both grass and artificial stalls, two large practice greens and additional short-game areas, including a practice bunker. The original nine holes were built in 1930 and designed by renowned course architect Emil Loeffler, who was the greens superintendent and architect of the famed Oakmont Country Club near Pittsburgh. Loeffler’s original nine was altered in 1947, and the course was expanded to 18 holes in 1964. Course architect Edward Ault of Silver Springs, Md., was hired to supervise the expansion. The course plays to a par 70 and is measured at 6,400 yards from the back of the championship tees. Despite the relative lack of length compared to many modern golf courses, the Bucknell layout presents a stern challenge to golfers of all abilities, playing to a rating of 70.0 and slope of 128 from the blue (back) tees. The club has hosted numerous U.S. Open local qualifiers and annually hosts the North Central Pennsylvania Golf Association’s Men’s and Women’s Amateur Championship. It is also in the regular rotation to host the men’s and women’s Patriot League Championships. The BGC’s historic clubhouse

2014-15 PREVIEW/MEET THE BISON YOUNG BISON SQUAD LOOK TO BUILD ON 2014 CHAMPIONSHIP This will be a bit of a “new-look” Bison squad in 2014-15 following the graduation of Kasha Scott, Lauren Bernard and Bridget Wilcox, which was one of the top senior classes in program history. That trio performed at a high level for four straight years and led the team to its first Patriot League title last spring. Now, head coach Kevin Jamieson will be leaning on lone senior Emily Timmons, juniors Jen Lee and Meghan Garanich and sophomores Emily Larson, Nicole Mischler and Callie Nelson to carry the load. The Bison also have a promising first-year player in Chicago native Lindsay Dodovich. “We always have high expectations for our program, but at the same time we recognize that, especially this fall, this is somewhat of a developmental time,” said head coach Kevin Jamieson. “Our sophomores are still learning how to play at the collegiate level. They are good players, but they just haven’t logged the hours yet. They are learning the cycle of being on the road, following our course strategy, and understanding why we do what we do. If they get it, there is no reason why we can’t get back to the top of the league in the spring.” Timmons is the most experienced player on the roster, having been a regular in the Bison lineup since the spring of 2013. She turned the corner last fall, posting scores in the 70s seven times, with a low of 77 at the Yale Invitational. After a strong freshman year, Lee’s 2013-14 season was disrupted by offseason shoulder surgery. After sitting out virtually the entire campaign, Lee returned just in time for the Patriot League Championship at Saucon Valley CC in April. Her first round in exactly 12 months was a counting 79 that helped position the Bison to win the title. Garanich also came up big at Saucon Valley, posting 79s in the second and third rounds. Jamieson noted that Larson played very well in preseason qualifying, and that she added about 15 yards in length after a year of weight training. Mischler and Nelson are already long hitters, and now they are working on refining their consistency and short games. Once again the Bison have a very challenging fall schedule. After opening at home with their annual invitational, they will play tournaments hosted by William & Mary, Penn State, Toledo and Dayton. Bucknell will return to the Kiawah Island Classic in March, and during Spring Break the Bison will play at the Lonnie Barton Invitational at LPGA International in Daytona Beach. The 2015 Patriot League Championship will be played at the U.S. Naval Academy GC in Emily Timmons Annapolis Apr. 18-19.

POSTSEASON

BUCKNELL WINS 2014 PATRIOT LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP! APRIL 19-20, 2014 SAUCON VALLEY CC, BETHLEHEM, PA. Seniors Lauren Bernard, Kasha Scott and Bridget Wilcox stamped an emotional exclamation point on their terrific careers by turning in strong final rounds to help Bucknell hold off hard-charging Boston University and deliver the first conference championship in program history. Sophomore Meghan Garanich posted her second straight clutch 79 on Sunday, and the Bison’s 930 total over 54 holes was just three clear of the Terriers at the 2014 Patriot League Championship. Bucknell took the lead for good in the second round, buoyed by a 1-over-par 73 from Bernard. The Bison began the third and final round with a one-stroke lead over Lehigh and a 12-shot advantage over Boston University. The Mountain Hawks, the tournament hosts at Saucon Valley Country Club, quickly fell back on Sunday, and by the time the leaders made the turn Bucknell’s lead was seven over Boston University and 11 on Lehigh. The Terriers made a serious back-nine charge, closing within two stokes down the stretch. But the Bison avoided major trouble, and a par-par finish by Bernard helped them keep the lead. Wilcox was in the final group for Bucknell, and a key swing came at No. 17, where Wilcox got up and down for par, and Boston University’s Kristyna Pavlickova made bogey. Pavlickova missed the green at 18 and could not get up and in for par to a tough hole location, and Wilcox putted out for a 5 as Bucknell celebrated its very first league title. “I am so proud of our team, especially the seniors who have worked so hard and deserved to win a league championship,” said head coach Kevin Jamieson. “We were not the best ball-striking team this week, but the difference in winning the championship was our course management. We really had to use a lot of strategy coming in. There were some tucked pins, and the 16th hole was a long par-4 that we could not reach. We also laid up on 17 to a front pin, and we had some big up-and-downs on those holes. Our ball-striking was pretty good and we were able to hit the proper quadrant on many of the greens, but our players really used their intelligence and course management to win the championship.” The Bison competed for 10 seasons (2003-12) as a member of the Big South Conference, and their best finish there was third in 2011. That was the rookie year for Wilcox, Scott and Bernard, who was runner-up at that Big South Championship. The Patriot League added women’s golf as a championship sport in 2013, and Lehigh won the inaugural Patriot League Championship by a slim three stokes over Bucknell in Lewisburg a year ago. Boston University joined the Patriot League in 2013-14 and came in as pre-tournament co-favorites along with Lehigh, but the Bison outplayed them both this weekend and sent their seniors out in style. In a fitting career bookend, the seniors were also victorious at their very first collegiate tournament at the Bucknell Invitational in September 2010. This was their fourth career tournament title. The Mountain Hawks finished third with a 939 total, followed by Navy at 1,028 and Holy Cross at 1,174. Bernard, Wilcox and Scott finished 3-4-5 in the individual standings, and all three earned First Team All-Patriot League honors for the second year in a row. Bernard closed with a 76 and finished with a 228 total over 54 holes. She had a stretch of three bogeys in four holes in the middle of her round on Sunday, but she was magnificent down the stretch. Bernard was even par over the last six holes, including a key six-foot birdie putt at the par-3 14th hole.

Wilcox placed fourth with a 230 composite (76-75-79) and Scott tied for fifth at 235 (79-79-77). Scott started her final round with a birdie, and her stretch of six straight pars on the back nine was critical. Scott’s finalround 77 equaled her season-best score. “Kasha was a real difference-maker for us,” said Jamieson. “She had been struggling this spring, but she has been working so hard on her game and she really gave us stability.” While much will be made about the seniors’ memorable finish, the Bison likely would not have won the title without the play of sophomores Garanich and Jen Lee. Garanich finished birdie-par for her second consecutive 79, her first two sub-80 rounds of the year. Lee had not played a competitive round since last year’s Patriot League Championship due to a shoulder injury, but her first-round 79 was the team’s fourth counting score. Garanich and Lee tied for 14th place at 246. Bucknell was the only team in the field to count four scores in the 70s in all three rounds. “We did not know what to expect from Jen coming back after such a long absence, but she was great all weekend and we really needed her first-round score,” said Jamieson. “And then Meghan was huge for us as well. She has been one of our most improved players and it showed in this tournament.” Pavlickova and Lehigh’s Crystal Lee came to the final hole of the tournament tied for the individual lead. But while Pavlickova made bogey, Lee drained a birdie putt to claim medalist honors by two strokes with a 224 total.

BUCKNELL WOMEN’S GOLF

RECORD BOOK BUCKNELL WOMEN’S GOLF HISTORY Women’s golf at Bucknell began at the varsity level in 1998, as longtime administrator and former men’s coach Brad Tufts guided the fledgling program through its infancy. Under the leadership of Tufts, a member of the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, the first-year program won 3 of 4 dual matches and posted solid showings at four tournaments, including the prestigious ECAC Championship. Bucknell’s inaugural team consisted primarily of women on campus who had previously expressed an interest in the sport, although it was two prominent freshmen that had previously played on boys teams in high school that led the team week after week — Hilary Mainka and Bridget O’Mara. Mainka was the top Bison finisher in 10 of 11 events, and her final-round 80 at the ECAC Championship was the lowest of that inaugural season. O’Mara recorded the program’s first hole-inone at the Princeton Invitational. In 1999 the scores continued to improve as the Bucknell program solidified. An outstanding freshman class, featuring Jess Hetrich, Molly Campbell, Amy Jones and Catherine Crews, infused even more talent into the young program. Mainka became the first Bison to break 80 in a competitive round, shooting 78 in the first round of the Rutgers Invitational, leading Bucknell to a fourth-place finish. Taking advantage of its outstanding home course, the Bucknell Golf Club, the Bison hosted the ECAC Championship for the first time in 1999, placing 13th out of 22 teams. Bucknell also played a spring Molly Campbell schedule for the first time in 19992000, participating in five events, including two in North Carolina and one in South Carolina. In the fall of 2000, Tufts handed the program over to Lewisburg native Kevin Jamieson, who had been serving as Tufts’ assistant coach, and the development of the program did not skip a beat. The Bison hosted their first invitational tournament in the spring of 2001, finishing a strong third out of eight teams. Bucknell’s team total of 650 broke the school 36-hole record by 22 shots, while the second-round score of 321 was also a record. Mainka’s second-round 77 broke her own school individual record. In 2001-02, the Bucknell women’s golf program moved into its “senior year.” Led by veterans Mainka and O’Mara, and the well-established Hetrich and Campbell, Bucknell enjoyed its best-ever season in the fall. The Bison tied for fifth on their home course at the ECAC Championship, while eight of the top 11 team rounds to that point in program history were recorded during that campaign. With several key players studying abroad in the spring of 2002, the Bison struggled a bit, but Hetrich reached a milestone in early April, becoming Bucknell’s first tournament medalist by winning the Bucknell Invitational by a two-stroke margin. In the fall of 2002, Jaime Hays carded a 74 in the first round of the Yale Invitational, which stood as the school record for one year, until Frenchwoman Celine Herbin shot 73 at Yale. The evolution of the program took another turn in December 2002, Amy Loughney when the Bison joined a conference for the first time, affiliating with the Big South. Bucknell took sixth in its first Big South Championship appearance in April 2003. During the 2003-04 season the team was led by Herbin, a French foreign exchange student, who took advantage of her single year at Bucknell to re-write the golf team’s record book. Herbin averaged a 77.8 in the spring of 2004 and shot a school-record 73 twice. She won the Georgetown Invitational, had four

top-10 finishes and placed 11th at the Big South Championship. In 2005 the Bison posted their then-best-ever finish (fifth) at the Big South Championship, and they claimed their first All-Big South performer when then-freshman Amy Loughney posted 77-76-76 and tied for fifth place. Bucknell’s openinground 315 at the event shattered the school 18-hole team record by four shots. The Bison made even more history in the fall of 2006, claiming their first-ever tournament title on Sept. 30-Oct. 1 at the Bison Fall Classic. Teri Schlang became the team’s first Katie Jurenovich individual winner since Herbin in the spring of 2004, and she earned Bucknell’s first-ever Big South Golfer of the Week honor. In the spring of 2008 the Bison set 18, 36 and 54-hole records with rounds of 316-308-319 at the Susie Maxwell Berning Classic at Oklahoma, while Emily Chiodo and Kristen Phalen both lowered the individual scoring record to 73. Then at the Big South Championships a week later, Bucknell finished a best-ever fourth, with freshman Katie Jurenovich finishing in the top 10 (T-8th). At the 2010 Big South Championship, Minjoo Lee opened 70-74, setting a new school mark with the opening 2-under 70, and she held the individual lead after 36 holes. She would end up finishing fourth. Bucknell reached even more milestones in 2010-11. The Bison began the year with a win at the Bucknell Invitational, and then they closed the fall by winning the Wendy’s Invitational in Charleston, S.C., marking the first team title in program history on an away course. Lee was the medalist there, with freshman Kasha Scott finishing second. In the spring, Bucknell hit a new high-water mark with a third-place finish at the Big South Championship, with freshman Lauren Bernard claiming runner-up honors. The Bison posted the first three sub-300 rounds in program history in 2010-11, and freshman Bridget Wilcox recorded Bucknell’s first competitive round in the 60s when she posted a 3-under 69 at Nittany Lion Invitational at the Penn State Blue Course. Bucknell won its own event again in the fall of 2011. The Bison would later finish seventh at the 2012 Big South Championship, and that would end up being the team’s final appearance in that event. The Patriot League began sponsoring women’s golf in 2012-13, and Bucknell joined Lehigh, Holy Cross and Navy for the league’s inaugural season. The Bison hosted the 2013 Patriot League Championship and placed second to Lehigh by just three strokes. Just one year later, Bucknell captured its very first conference title in the sport of women’s golf, holding off Boston University by three strokes to win the 2014 Patriot League Championship at Saucon Valley CC.

Athletics Facilities

Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium: The home of Bison men’s lacrosse, football and track & field.

Bucknell Athletics Facilities 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 24 years, national leadership in graduation rates, 126 Academic All-Americans in 44 years and 136 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes in 24 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, which celebrated its 10th birthday in 2012-13, has enhanced each of Bucknell’s 27 varsity programs and has greatly expanded 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 new FieldTurf and 8-lane track surface; the scenic Bucknell Golf Club and brand new Bachman Golf Center; the newly refurbished Depew Field (baseball) and Becker Field (softball); 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.

THE PATRIOT LEAGUE The Patriot League, which was founded on the principles of admitting athletes who are academically representative of their class, is in its third decade of academic and athletic achievement. Participation in athletics at Patriot League institutions is viewed as an important component of a well-rounded education. The Patriot League began as a successful football conference in 1986. Full League members include American, Army, Boston University, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh, Loyola Maryland and Navy. Associate members include Fordham in football, Massachusetts Institute of Technology in women’s rowing, Richmond in women’s golf and Georgetown in football and women’s rowing. These member institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation. Alumni from Patriot League colleges and universities have played a leadership role in the shaping of our country. In the classroom, the Patriot League’s full-member institutions, individually and collectively, consistently rank among the top Division I programs in the NCAA Graduation Rates Report. Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked first among all Division I conferences offering scholarships in student-athlete graduation rates according to the NCAA Graduation Rates report. The League finished at the top spot with 96 percent of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 90 Patriot League teams earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. In the Patriot League’s history, more than 200 student-athletes have been recognized as CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, while more than 12,000 have qualified for the League’s Academic Honor Roll. More than 30 student-athletes have received NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. Additionally, Patriot League student-athletes have earned Fulbright Scholarships, Rhodes Scholarships, Marshall Scholarships and NACDA/Disney Scholarships.

BUCKNELL BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

TOPS IN SALARY POTENTIAL

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 studentathletes and coaches in their continual quest to become leaders in academics, in athletics and in life. The Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy was launched in August 2011 with the goal of delivering 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. Leadership Academy programming has evolved and expanded throughout its first three years, and much more is planned in 2014-15. Approximately 60 student-athletes participate in Leadership Academy programming each year. Representing the women’s golf team in 2014-15 are Jen Lee and Nicole Mischler. Goals for the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy include:

Bucknell University alumni ranked No. 4 among liberal arts college graduates and among the highest for all colleges and universities in a 2011 PayScale College Salary Report released this summer. The annual survey, which launched in 2008, assesses median starting and mid-career salaries among graduates of top U.S. liberal arts colleges. This year, alumni from 1,003 schools participated. In this year’s report, Bucknell alumni had a median starting salary of $52,600 and a median mid-career salary of $108,000. The salary report also ranked Bucknell as 14th among all “top U.S. colleges,” including Ivy League and state universities, for mid-career earning potential. Bucknell alumni historically have had high job placement rates in their first year after graduation. Nine months after graduation, for instance, 84 percent of the members of the Class of 2010 were either employed or enrolled in graduate or professional school, according to Bucknell’s Career Development Center. A small percentage opted to travel, volunteer or do a combination of both. National Reputation A number of recent reports have served to underscore Bucknell’s national reputation: • In 2007, The Washington Monthly ranked Bucknell No. 7 among the best liberal arts colleges in the country when it comes to fostering research and promoting an ethic of service and social mobility. • In 2010, the Peace Corps listed Bucknell at No. 6 on its top 25 list of small colleges and universities producing Peace Corps Volunteers. • In February 2010, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine rated Bucknell as the 11th best value in private liberal arts colleges.

• 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 DEPARTMENT OF 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 Presidents’ Cup, reflects positively upon Bucknell’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 scholarathletes will be tomorrow’s outstanding leaders.
