CAL U WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
On May 19, 1992, Dr. Angelo Armenti, Jr. was appointed by the Board of Governors of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education as the sixth president of California University of Pennsylvania. He holds a B.S. degree in Physics from Villanova University, an MA and Ph.D. degrees from Temple University in special and general relativity, respectively. He had a distinguished 20-year career at Villanova University prior to becoming president of California University. At Villanova he served as professor of physics, chair of the department of physics, Dean of University College, and Director of Planning. In addition to scholarly publications in international journals, Dr. Armenti received the Lindback Foundation Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1978, and was named an American Council on Education (ACE) Fellow in 1992, one of only thirty-two individuals selected nationally for this recognition. His book, The Physics of Sports, commissioned by the American Institute of Physics, remains in print since its initial publication in 1992. Since Dr. Armenti’s arrival at California University in 1992, applications have increased by 90%; average SAT scores have increased by 95 points; FTE enrollments have increased by 30%; and four-year graduation rates have increased by 80%. Many new academic programs have been initiated including: Master of Social Work (MSW); Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT); Master of Science in Multi-Media Technology; Physical Therapy Assistant; Sports Management; Graphic Design, Computer Engineering Technology, Criminal Justice, and Legal Studies. Other University accomplishments since his arrival as president include: creation of an Athletic Hall of Fame; three National championship teams (two in women’s softball and one in women’s basketball); a successfully completed $13 million (first ever) capital campaign; a new five-year capital campaign that is currently on schedule to reach its $35 million goal; a twenty-fold increase in endowment funds; the adoption by the University of the core values of Integrity, Civility, and Responsibility; the adoption of a University Bill of Rights and Responsibilities; the creation of the University Forum, a new governance structure; the adoption of a new general education curriculum; the building of the Eberly Science and Technology Center, the Kara Alumni House, the Duda Classroom Building and six modern new residence halls; the renovation/ expansion of numerous other buildings on campus; and the creation of major off-campus sites at Southpointe and at the Regional Enterprise Tower in downtown Pittsburgh. Dr. Armenti has been active with the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, and has served as Campaign Chair and President of the Mon Valley United Way. He is married to the former Barbara Malinowski and, together, they have five grown children and nine grandchildren. His hobbies include piano, photography and President & Mrs. Armenti sailing.

elcome to California University of Pennsylvania and another exciting season of Vulcan women’s basketball. I am confident that Coach Mark Swasey, his staff and the players will continue to build upon the basketball tradition and make this a year to remember. This was a year of remarkable achievements at Cal U. In the past 12 months our academic offerings have been strengthened and expanded. Our beautiful campus continues to evolve, and our enrollment continues to grow. Our athletic teams have won statewide and regional titles and won our first Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference’s (PSAC) Dixon Trophy for 2008-09. The Dixon Trophy is emblematic of athletic supremacy in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference—the PSAC, the premier Division II athletic conference in America today. We are very proud of our student-athletes, coaches and many individuals behind the scenes who are responsible for this magnificent accomplishment. I am particularly proud of our student-athletes who perform well not only on the field of play, but also in the classroom. During the 2008-09 academic year, a total of 167 California University of Pennsylvania student athletes, representing all sports, were named to the Spring 2009 edition of the Vulcan Athletic Director Honor Roll. For the sixthstraight semester, the Cal U athletic programs compiled a cumulative grade-point average of 3.00 or higher. Our athletes have put in hundreds of hours of practice, and their hard work and dedication make them winners regardless of the score. The same can be said of the coaching staff, whose devotion to their sport and their players is an inspiration. The mission of Cal U is to build character and build careers. While the formal part of the education occurs in classrooms, laboratories, and internship sites, the other part of a college education takes place in residence halls, the Natali Student Union and in various sport venues, such as Hamer Hall. Women’s Basketball and our other athletic programs provide students with an experience that helps them to learn and to grow in ways that will benefit them the rest of their lives. Teamwork is important not only on the field, but in the boardroom, the operating room and in the classroom. Many of our alumni who were student-athletes during their time here have distinguished themselves in endeavors far removed from their sport, but they have carried with them the important life lessons they have learned on the field and from their coaches, their teammates, and even their opponents. I hope that you enjoy the 2009-10 season and that you will support all of these young athletes enthusiastically.

Guard Kiara Brown, another redshirt from last season, figures to see time as a starter after a high-scoring career while at Ambrdige. In terms of depth in the backcourt, sophomore guard Danielle Luckett should see increased playing time after averaging nearly 10 minutes per game off the bench as a freshman. The Vulcans also added a Division I transfer from North Carolina A&T in sophomore guard Taryn Russ. As a freshman in 2007-08, she appeared in 23 games for the Aggies before not playing last season. With the addition of Brown, Johns and several newcomers, Cal U features several strong perimeter players capable of shooting from beyond the arc. True freshman Megan Kermond from Australia figures to see significant action after displaying a strong outside shot during preseason camp. The Vulcans feature increased depth and experience on the interior with the transfer of junior forward Tatianna Hall from Wright State, a Division I program in Ohio. While with the Raiders, Hall appeared in nearly 60 games over the last two years after playing for one of the top high school programs in Ohio. In addition to Hall, freshman forward Jasmine Murray will also see time at forward after starting on a state championship high school team in Virginia.
