“It is time to take Cyclone Athletics to the next level.” That was the message of WPLJ broadcaster Joe Nolan at the official launch of The Athletic Turf Field Project on January 29, 2011. Through The Cyclone Athletic Fund, Centenary plans to construct a new artificial turf field that will serve the Men’s and Women’s Soccer and Lacrosse teams as well as Baseball. The new field, which can even be used in inclement weather, will help propel the teams to greater levels of competition and national recognition. To learn more about this exciting project or to make a contribution to The Cyclone Athletic Fund or The Athletic Turf Field Project, call (908) 852-1400 ext. 2336 or email knaaps@centenarycollege.edu.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT Centenary College is a community of learners distinguished by a diverse student body, a dedicated faculty and staff and stimulating educational opportunities. Centenary College is committed to a quality liberal arts and career studies education with a substantial international dimension to engage students in learning and prepare them for satisfying careers, successful lives, community service and lifelong intellectual pursuits.

OUR ATHLETIC PHILOSOPHY Every coach’s mission is to provide the student-athlete with a competitive program and the opportunity to achieve excellence individually or as part of a team. The phrase “the teaching coach,” committed to the students, best describes our philosophy while maintaining a strong academic profile.

As coaches we serve as both educators and leaders. Centenary’s goal is to maximize the human potential of our student-athletes. Our holistic approach stresses the fundamentals of the games we play as well as the values of responsibility, discipline and commitment. We know that these principles will translate into victories, but more importantly, they will develop young people with character. Those who compete and graduate become true champions, for they will understand what it means to be committed to excellence.

ABOUT OUR ATHLETIC PROGRAM At Centenary College we nurture and encourage true competitive integrity. Our school adheres to a strict code of conduct from the recruiting process all the way to the NCAA Championships. Our coaches, administrators and staff members all take an active role in monitoring and insuring our compliance with all NCAA, Conference and College regulations.

Centenary sponsors 13 men’s and women’s teams at the Division III level, and our Athletic Department continues to grow. We remain committed to developing our Athletic Department into one of the best small-college programs in the country. With the help of our dedicated coaches, staff and student-athletes we can see that dream come to reality. As a student-athlete, we will ask you to represent the College’s intercollegiate athletics program both on and off the field with integrity, professionalism and competitiveness. During your years at Centenary you will be asked to make sacrifices, but these sacrifices will be well rewarded by relationships and memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.

SUPPORT SERVICES FITNESS CENTER The Fitness Center, located in Reeves Student Recreation Center, gives Centenary students and student-athletes a safe workout environment where they can improve their agility, speed, flexibility, strength and conditioning. Using the fitness center gives each athlete a chance to improve their overall fitness, therefore making them more competitive in their sport of choice. In 2006, the fitness center was expanded to include a separate cardio room as well as the weight machine and free weight areas. The renovation also brought in brand new, state-of-the-art strength and fitness equipment that should fill all our student-athletes’ seasonal fitness needs.

ATHLETIC TRAINING The Sports Medicine program at Centenary College provides students with an opportunity to participate in intercollegiate athletics in the safest and healthiest way possible. A well-rounded program for student-athletes directed toward the prevention, evaluation, management and rehabilitation of athletic injuries is enhanced by team physician Dr. Mike Kelly and orthopedic surgeons Dr. Louis Rizio and Dr. Robert A. Defalco. The Athletic Training staff includes Head Athletic Trainer Karin Damon and Associate Athletic Trainer Kevin Davies.

Damon received her B.S. in Health Science from Slippery Rock University and M.S. in Theory of Sports Medicine from Springfield College in Massachusetts. She was the Head Athletic Trainer at New Jersey City University before accepting the position at Centenary College in 2004.

Damon was selected as an Athletic Trainer for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, working at the equestrian and mountain biking venues. Davies earned a Bachelor’s degree in Sports Medicine and Athletic Training at East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT Academics are Centenary’s number one priority and therefore we offer a number of support services to our student-athletes to make sure they are on the right path to a successful academic career. Each student-athlete is required to attend study hall in their first year at Centenary to aid them in their transition between high school and the demands of college academics. Professors are also encouraged to send progress reports on student-athletes to the athletic staff for academic monitoring. If a student-athlete is struggling in a class, Centenary offers tutors at no cost for any class. This is just another way that Centenary provides unparalleled service to its students.

COACHING STAFF Dinu Dan begins his sixth year as head coach of Centenary College women’s volleyball. In his five seasons with Centenary, the program has made tremendous strides toward becoming a conference and regional competitor.

The 2010 season saw the team come a game short of its second consecutive Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) Tournament. Despite an extremely tough schedule, the team was able to reach double-digits in wins for a program-record fourth-consecutive season. CC saw three of its players receive All-CSAC accolades, a program-first. Sophomore Jelena Markovic, the 2009 CSAC Rookie of the Year, took home First Team All-CSAC honors, as did junior Devon Paffendorf. Fellow classmate Kelsey Walter was named Honorable Mention. It also marks the first time in program history that two players were named to the First Team in the same season.

Paffendorf finished the season with 484 kills. That total led the CSAC and set a new single-season Centenary record. Markovic led the Cyclones with 755 assists, the second-highest singleseason total in Centenary history. Walter finished with 543 digs, a single-season team record. She is now the program’s all-time leader in that category, with 1,506 for her career.

Through the course of the season, the Lady Cyclones competed in eight matches that went to the fifth and deciding set, finishing 2-6 overall in those contests. Despite the tough non-conference schedule, the team was 5-5 in conference action on Saturday, Oct. 30, when it hosted Philadelphia Biblical in what amounted to be a one-game playoff for the final spot in the CSAC Tournament. CC dropped a hard-fought first set, 26-24, and eventually succumbed to the Crimson Eagles, losing the match 3-0. Off the court, seven volleyball players earned CSAC All-Academic Team honors.

In 2009, CC earned a berth to the Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) Tournament for the first time in five years, thanks to a 7-4 CSAC record, marking a program-record for conference wins. The team fell in three closely fought sets at Baptist Bible, 25-17, 25-23 and 25-19. That left the Cyclones 15-17, marking a program-record in wins.

Markovic was named CSAC and Centenary Rookie of the Year and also earned Second Team All-CSAC honors. The team also achieved success off the court, finishing with a team GPA above

3.3 to earn an American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award. Moreover, eight student-athletes were named to the CSAC All-Academic Team.

Dan has led the team to double-digit victory marks in three consecutive seasons for the first time in school history. In 2008, Victoria Rice earned All-CSAC Honorable Mention accolades. The 11 victories two years ago marked the first time in the program’s history that the program reached double-figure wins for a season.

Prior to coming to Hackettstown in the 2006, Dan was the head women’s volleyball coach at Long Island University, where in two seasons he totaled a mark of 40-28. In addition to the tremendous record, he took the Blackbirds to the Northeast Conference (NEC) championship game in 2002, their first appearance in the NEC Playoffs in nine years. The women then followed that with an appearance in the semi-finals in 2003.

From 1996-2001 Dan was the head women’s coach at Pace University. He was a two-time AVCA Northeast Region Coach of the Year while leading the program to an impressive 148-60, including two NCAA Division II Quarterfinal appearances in 1998 and 2000. The Lady Setters also notched four consecutive Northeast-10 Conference Championships (1997-2000) and were NE-10 regular-season champs in 1997 and 2000. While at Pace, Dan was named both the NE-10 Conference Coach of the Year and the AVCA Division II Northeast Coach of the Year in the 1998 and 2000 seasons. Entering the 2009 season he holds a career record of 258-202.

Dan’s coaching career began in 1990 with the girl’s volleyball team at Montclair High School. He then continued on to Montclair State and Rutgers in 1991, as an assistant. Then in 1995 he took over the head coaching responsibilities at College of St. Elizabeth before moving to Hunter in 1996. The change for him was that at Hunter College and at Rutgers, Dan worked with both institutions’ men’s programs.

A native of Romania, Dan has numerous years of playing experience to go along his wealth of coaching knowledge. Before he began his college coaching career, he participated in volleyball tournaments all across Europe and played for a Division I professional team in Romania. Along with his abilities in the sport of volleyball, Dan has also competed in marathon running, specifically at the 1990 Goodwill Games in Seattle.

Dan holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Administration Recreation from Kean University in 1996, along with a Diploma of Engineering from Romania. He is a long-time practitioner of the Japanese style of Martial Arts known as Kyokushnkai. He holds

COACHING STAFF a Black Belt in Kyokushnkai and has owned his own dojo in Romania. In addition, Dan was Romania’s Amateur National Tennis Champion and currently is a member of the USTP (United States Tennis Professionals). Today, he continues working with adults and children teaching the game of tennis.

She joined head coach Dinu Dan’s staff after a stellar playing career at Centenary.

Boyer is second in Centenary’s all-time records book in kills and holds the record for kills in a single-game, with 27 against Cedar Crest in 2007.

In 2003, Boyer was named Centenary’s Female Rookie Athlete of the Year and Skyline Conference Rookie of the Year. In total, Boyer has over 13 years of Beach/Indoor Volleyball experience

SEASON PREVIEW Head coach Dinu Dan and the Centenary College volleyball team expect a strong start to the 2011 season behind his three captains, returning seniors Devon Paffendorf and Kelsey Walter as well as junior Jelana Markovic.

The Lady Cyclones are following a tough finish to the 2010 season as they missed the Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) tournament by one spot, falling just behind Philadelphia Biblical University in the final rankings.

Dan is excited to report that the Cyclones had a “great and productive volleyball pre-season,” even calling it one of the best pre-seasons he has experienced in his five years as head coach.

Last season, Paffendorf posted a tremendous year for the Cyclones as she broke the record for most career kills (984) with a season-record 484 kills in 2010. Paffendorf earned 2010 First Team All-CSAC honors as well as a spot on the 2010 CSAC All-Academic Team.

Markovic is also coming off a strong season . The junior posted 755 assists, Paffendorf bringing her to second all-time in that category, only 697 away from Jolyn Veres’ record 1,941 (2006-2009). Markovic also joined Paffendorf on both the 2010 First Team All-CSAC and CSAC All-Academic Team.

Markovic

SEASON PREVIEW Walter earned All-CSAC Honorable Mention accolades after recording 543 digs, a Centenary single-season team record. She is now the program’s all-time leader in that category, with 1,506 for her career.

The postseason awards Centenary garnered marks the first time in program history that three Lady Cyclones earned All-Conference honors during the same season, and the first time that two student-athletes were each named First Team.

Cucco and Amanda Metauten.

McMenamin comes to Centenary after spending two seasons at Harcum College in Bryn Mawr, Pa. During her time at HC, she posted a team-best 924 assists as well as 352 digs, 204 kills, 133 aces and 17 blocks. She earned National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Div. II Region MVP and All-Tournament honors as a sophomore.

Dan believes the 2010 campaign was only a stepping stone season and looks forward to a very strong 2011 schedule. CC will open CSAC play against Rosemont College at home on Thursday Sept. 15 at 7:00 pm.

Also returning to the team this year are juniors Erika Chu and Shantise Parker and sophomore Chelsea Hoffman. Chu finished the 2010 season with 240 kills and a team-high 81 blocks, including a squad-best 66 solo blocks.

“I am very excited for the powerful offensive line up based around Markovic, Paffendorf, Chu and Parker,” said Dan. “I feel they have the potential to devastate some of the strong competitors that they will face this season.”

Joining the seven returners are a variety of newcomers, including freshman Myriah Jade, who is expected to join in on the powerful offensive line up as an outside hitter. Also joining the team this year are Kelly McMenamin, Kelly McAdam, Maria

Chu

Some of the goals for Dan and the Lady Cyclones this season include a return trip to the CSAC Tournament, obtaining a minimum 3.0 team GPA and establishing team fundraising.

“We have talented and hard-working student-athletes and I feel that with the hard work they are putting in, we should be able to achieve our goals and have a successful season,” said Dan. The team’s first action this season will be in the Ninth Annual Greyhound Premiere Invitational the weekend of Sept. 2-3.
