HEAD COACH Jenny Graap ‘86

Head Coach of Women’s Lacrosse ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Jenny Graap returned to her alma mater in 1997 with one goal in mind: to build the Cornell women’s lacrosse team into a championship contender. If she had a five-year plan, it was right on schedule. The 2002 Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association Coach of the Year, Graap has turned around the fortunes of an entire program, building an Ivy League and national title contender in just five years. She has posted a 5623 record (.709) in five seasons at Cornell and a 77-67 mark (.535) in nine years as a head coach. Graap’s ability to motivate and devise game plans has put her name among the nation’s elite coaches. After building the George Mason program from scratch, she has built a consistent winner at her alma mater and has established a tradition of national competitiveness that had been lacking on East Hill prior to her arrival. A strong recruiter with a good eye for hidden talent, Graap takes pride in the fact that her players develop every year. Cornell has become a national title contender on the field with players other top schools did not recruit. In her five seasons at Cornell, Graap has had 25 All-Ivy selections, 17 IWLCA Regional All-Americans, nine IWLCA national All-Americans, three Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, one Ivy League

Player of the Year and one national player of the year finalist. Her teams have reached postseason play each of the last four years an has won at least 10 games three consecutive seasons. The 2002 season will go down as unquestionably the greatest season so far in Big Red women’s lacrosse history. Cornell finished the campaign 16-2, with its two losses coming on the road against the two national finalists, and setting nearly a dozen school records, including wins (16), winning percentage (.889) and highest Ivy League finish (second). The team finished in the top seven nationally in scoring offense, scoring defense, scoring margin, winning percentage and ground balls. Cornell completed an undefeated season at home (8-0), topped eight ranked opponents and ended Maryland’s seven-year run as national champions with a 14-4 victory over the Terps in the NCAA quarterfinals. The team’s success earned her IWLCA and Inside Lacrosse Regional Coach of the Year honors. In all, seven players were named All-Ivy and four earned AllAmerica status, with Jaimee Reynolds earning Ivy League Player of the Year and becoming a finalist for national player of the year. The 2001 season was the breakout year, as the team finished with a record of 11-4 and received its first NCAA tournament invitation. The Big Red used a balanced offense and a stingy defense to go 5-2 in Ivy League play, good for a third-place tie, ranking fourth in the country in scoring defense (7.00 goals allowed per game), while averaging nearly 10 goals per game. Five players were honored when All-Ivy League teams were announced, and two were named All-Americans. Graap’s 2000 squad set numerous records, including wins in a season (13), most goals (210) and most points scored (318), all since broken by the 2002 team, while ending the year at 13-4. The team capped the seasonwiththeEastern College Athletic Conference title, running through Sacred Heart 17-4 and Johns Hopkins 164. In 1999, the Big Red made its first ECAC tournament appearance since 1993 and wrapped up the season with a 9-6 mark. Graap is used to meeting challenges that are presented to her.

In 1994, the first year the Patriots sponsored the sport, the team went 3-12 and under Graap’s tutelage, they improved to 6-10 in 1997 with a significantly stronger schedule. A 1986 graduate of Cornell’s College of Human Ecology, Graap was an assistant women’s lacrosse coach at Penn State from 1990-93, while completing a master’s degree in exercise and sport science. During her time with the Nittany Lions, they made three NCAA tournament appearances.

She received her first coaching experience as the head lacrosse mentor at the Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child in Summit, N.J., in 1989. During her undergraduate days, Graap captained both the field hockey and lacrosse teams as a junior and senior, and earned a total of eight varsity letters in the two sports.

ASSISTANT COACHES Phil Barnes

Assistant Coach ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Phil Barnes begins his first year with the Cornell women’s lacrosse program looking to add his experience into what has already proven to be a winning formula for the Big Red. Barnes comes to Ithaca with extensive assistant and head coaching experience. He spent the last three seasons as the head coach of the women’s lacrosse team at the University of Massachusetts, directing the team to the 2000 Atlantic 10 regular season and tournament crowns. That squad finished the year ranked first nationally in scoring defense, while his starting goalkeeper led the country in save percentage and goals against average. He took over the head coaching duties after spending two years as an assistant coach at UMass, helping the Minutewomen to a 1998 ECAC tournament appearance and ranking in the top 10 nationally in scoring defense.

Barnes went to UMass from Holy Cross, where he served as head coach for two seasons. During his tenure, he was named Patriot League Coach of the Year in 1996 and recruited the school’s all-time leading scorer and three All-Patriot team members. A 1995 graduate of Assumption College, Barnes began his coaching career as an assistant coach at his alma mater. He also served as the men’s varsity assistant coach at Souhegan High School in Amherst, N.H. Barnes played collegiate lacrosse while at Assumption. He has served as an instructor at lacrosse camps at the University of North Carolina, Syracuse and Maryland. Barnes was a member of the 1997 Northeast region All-America committee. He was also a selector for the 2000 and 2001 North/South All-Star games. Barnes chaired the NCAA Northeast Regional Ranking Committee in 2001 and 2002 and was a member of the Northeast Regional All-America Committee both of those years.

Laurie Tortorelli

Assistant Coach ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Laurie Tortorelli, a former AllAmerica goalkeeper at the University of Delaware, was named assistant women’s lacrosse coach at Cornell in August of 2002. Tortorelli will have a hand in all aspects of the program, from recruiting and travel planning to developing and implementing practice and gameday strategy. Tortorelli, a 2002 graduate of Delaware, joined the Big Red staff after finishing a stellar career for the Blue Hens. The four-year starter and team captain was a three-time first-

team all-region selection, while earning third-team IWLCA All-America and first team Academic All-America honors as a senior for the Blue Hens. A first-team America East selection in 2001 and conference Rookie of the Year in 1999, Tortorelli finished her career ranked second in career saves (754), goals allowed average (9.35), save percentage (.560) and minutes played (3,797). She was named most valuable player by her teammates in 2002. Besides her extensive playing experience, Tortorelli has been a clinician and counselor at numerous elite summer lacrosse camps, including USA Goalkeeping Camp, the Cornell, Delaware, Penn State and Loyola (Md.) camps.

Beth Calder

Volunteer Assistant Coach ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Beth Calder moves from the field to the sidelines as the team’s volunteer assistant coach after earning two letters for the Big Red and helping the team to an NCAA semifinal appearance in 2002.

2003 Cornell 7 Women’s Lacrosse


2003 SEASON PREVIEW 2003 Big Red Looks To Build Own Identity After graduating seven starters from last year’s NCAA semifinal squad, Cornell will turn to its senior class

The names change, but the goals remain the same. The time to look back on the 2002 season, unquestionably the greatest campaign in the annals of Big Red women’s lacrosse, has past. In its wake is national recognition and expectations unlike any the team has ever faced. Undoubtedly, though, the biggest expectations are from within its own locker room.

Six seniors, five of whom were regular starters on last season’s national semifinal squad, will step up to the plate to replace a class of seven accomplished graduates who lifted the Big Red program out of the depths of mediocrity and into the national spotlight. And unfortunately for Cornell opponents, last year’s freshman class have become sophomores ... and all six will be asked to contribute this season. Cornell enters the 2003 season with high expectations and lofty goals. After advancing to the national semifinals a season ago, two All-Americans and three All-Ivy selections return on offense. Talk of competing for a national title doesn’t come with snickers. It makes people take heed. “It’s a new challenge,” said head coach Jenny Graap, the 2002 IWLCA national coach of the year. “This year we go from being the hunter to being the hunted. We can’t sneak up on anyone. It’s a brand new team with new challenges. We have to establish our own identity and try not to live in the past. You can’t move forward if you’re looking backwards.” The offense returns five doublefigure scorers from a team that set school records for goals and total points. The Big Red’s strength a season ago was that it could win games with good defense, strong midfield play, tough goalkeeping … or by simply outscoring its opponent. Cornell recorded at least 10 goals in 15 of the team’s 18 contests. Despite the loss of the Big Red’s top two all-time leading scorers in Jaimee Reynolds and Lori Wohlschlegel, Cornell will look to be a potent attack again in 2003. The defense, which has ranked in the top four nationally in scoring defense each of the last three years, took the biggest hit with the loss of three-year starter Carrie Giancola in goal, as well as All-Ivy caliber defenders Sarah Graham, Katie McCorry and Kari Zarzecki. Add in Reynolds, arguably the top defensive midfielder in the country a season ago, and the new-look defense will need to quickly build its own identity. Graap has put together a schedule that will provide challenges throughout the season. Along with its treacherous Ivy League season, which includes a home game against reigning national champion Princeton, Cornell will 2003 Cornell 8 Women’s Lacrosse

welcome 2002 NCAA tournament squads Notre Dame, Vanderbilt and Ohio State to SchoellkopfField.TheBigRedwillalsoentertain RutgersandStanfordinnon-conferenceaction at home, where Cornell has won 12 in a row, and will visit Fairfield, Delaware, and 2002 tournament squad Syracuse.

THE ATTACK Cornell returns a bulk of its top scorers from 2002, with nine of last year’s top 13 back on East Hill. Among them are All-Ivy selections Sarah Averson and Sarah Fischer. The two Sarahs combined for 66 goals and 80 total points between them during Cornell’s run to the national semifinals. Averson begins the season as a legitimate national player of the year candidate after ranking second on the team in goals (34), points (43) and draw controls (28) while setting career highs in ground balls and caused turnovers. After starting all 18 contestsenroutetosecond-teamIWLCA All-America honors a season ago, Averson will be looked upon to be the team’s go-to scorer on the attack. A first-team All-Ivy and IWLCA AllRegion pick in 2002, Averson’s confidence should be sky-high after spending the summer and fall competing on the U.S. Developmental team. Fischer earned Jaime Quinn honorable mention All-Ivy status after recording 32 goals as a junior. Using her combination of speed and strength, Fischer is a dominant one-on-one player who can take the ball to the cage on any defender. Fischer possesses a strong and accurate shot, and after setting career highs in every statistical category a season ago, has the confidence to lift her game even more in her final campaign. The rest of the attack will be by committee, combining newcomers and former reserves who are hungry to earn playing time. Sophomore Kristen Smith and freshmen Katherine Butler, Lisa Giugliano, Jenn Malm and Allison Schindler.

Smith showed a nose for the ball in her limited minutes as a freshman, scoring two goals, including a score in her first collegiate contest. Smith also recorded six draw controls and five ground balls. Smith’s role will be to provide energy and instant offense off the bench. She will also be a key component in Cornell’s draw control schemes. Butler, Giugliano and Malm all bring different skill sets to the position. Butler is a high-energy player with solid stick skills. Giugliano’s speed and quickness are keys to her ability to see playing time. Malm is a candidate to play feeder from behind the net thanks to her excellent field vision and accurate s h o t . Sarah Averson Schindler also has been labeled as a player with outstanding potential on the offensive end. She can score or distribute equally well. Juniors Jaime Quinn and Kate Hirschfield will also slide up from the midfield to attack. THE MIDFIELD A talented and versatile group returns in the midfield, which even after losing Reynolds to graduation, is still one of the team’s strong points. Included among the returners are senior All-American Erica Holveck and All-Ivy candidate Jaime Quinn. Holveck had a tremendous junior campaign, earning second-team All-Ivy and All-America status after recording 12 points and a teamhigh 30 caused turnovers. A versatile midfielder Sarah Fischer who is as capable on defense as she is on the offensive end, Holveck’s strength is in her speed. The Denville, N.J., native has been able to concentrate more on disrupting opponents’ offenses as more of her teammates have picked up the offensive slack, and her ability to force the issue has led to increased scoring opportunities on the ride.

2003 SEASON PREVIEW Spoonhower has been the biggest surprise of the preseason. A hard worker who played attack in high school and is quickly learning the defense, Spoonhower has the size and strength to not be overmatched physically by older players. Seniors Rachel Friedman and Katie Lavin and sophomore Jessica Williams can also move up from defense to play in the midfield.

Lindsay Steinberg in 2002. She ranked fifth on the team in goals (23) and points (26) and was among the team leaders in ground balls, draw controls and caused turnovers. After seeing limited action as a rookie, Quinn’s height and aggressive play on both sides of the field necessitated a move into the starting lineup. She started 17 matches a season ago, and came on strong at the end of the year, netting four goals in a win at No. 18 Johns Hopkins in the season finale and adding a hat trick in the first round NCAA win over Syracuse. Junior Kate Hirschfield has been a quiet scorer over her career, and that steady production will be rewarded this season. After starting 11 contests a season ago, Hirschfield’s speed and stick skills, as well as her tenacious defense, will mean an even bigger role in 2003. The Oyster Bay, N.Y., native improved in the caused turnover and ground ball departments. She will again play a key role as a scoring midfielder in the rotation this season. Sophomore Julia Hughey possesses the natural instincts and skills to earn league and national honors. A strong presence on the field with great height (5-10) and stick skills, Hughey should step right into the starting lineup after seeing action in 13 contests as a freshman. Hughey is an accomplished scorer who has also shown the ability to be one of the top defensive midfielders to play at Cornell. Sophomore Lindsay Steinberg made the most of her time as a freshman, showing a knack for scoring with nine points in 17 contests off the bench as a rookie. Steinberg’s combination of strength and quickness will give her an opportunity to start regularly. Freshmen Lyndsay Robinson, Allison Schindler, Liz Shaner and Rachel Spoonhower will all battle the returners for playing time, and each brings different attributes to the midfield mix. Robinson is a natural midfielder who will see time right away thanks to her feel for the game andhercomposurewiththeball.Shepossesses unlimited potential on both sides of the field and has the desire to improve and excel.

season getting acquainted with the defensive philosophies. Annie Berkery and Danielle Friedman will compete for a starting spot in the back. Berkery brings deceptive speed and solid stick skills to the position. The Osterville, Mass., native saw action in just two games a season ago, but was impressive enough in practices and in the fall season to help her compete for a spot in the rotation. Danielle Friedman, no relation to her senior teammate, is a cerebral player with good poise who understands and reacts to the Big Red’s defensive strategies. A natural defender who continues to hone her skills, Friedman’s energy and steady play will help in her quest for a starting position. Freshman Kate Harrold will also look to get in the mix. After recovering from an ACL tear last spring, the Elverson, Pa., native brings good size (5-9) and a feel for defending the cage to the table. Her quickness and aggressiveness will be keys to earning time. Sliding in from the midfield to solidify the backfield will be Holveck, Hirschfield, Shaner and Spoonhower, giving Cornell tremendous depth.

THE DEFENSE Cornell has been ranked among the top four nationally in scoring defense each of the past three years, and there’s no reason to think that opponents will have an easier time this season. Leading the charge in the back will be senior co-captain Rachel Friedman. One of the fiercest competitors and top markup defenders in the Ivy League, Friedman played in 17 games with 14 starts, missing one contest due to a separated shoulder that she played with during the NCAA tournament run. Her poise and ball control will give Cornell’s otherwise young defense someone to look to when opponents are applying pressure.

DKNY Active and STX

For the second year in a row, the Cornell women’s lacrosse team will draw attention with their play on the field, but they will also get some second looks because of their exclusive line of uniforms designed by DKNY Active in collaboration with STX. So how does a university that conjures images of waterfalls and outdoor adventures land a sponsorship deal with a chic New York clothing designer? Like with all deals, circumstances converged, and as a result, the lacrosse team is the first Cornell women’s team to enjoy the benefits of a generous sponsor. The pivotal players in this deal were Paul Charron, father of Ashley Charron ’04, a goalie on the team, and head coach Jenny Graap ’86, a graduate of the College of Human Ecology who majored in apparel design and textiles and once worked as an assistant buyer for Bloomingdale’s. During one of the many conversations between the Charrons and Coach Graap, the seed was planted that ultimately grew into a project that would benefit some of Cornell’s most successful women athletes. Jenny happened to mention that it would be fun to help design lacrosse uniforms for women. And she mentioned her idea to the right man — Paul Charron, CEO of Liz Claiborne, Inc. As if it were meant to be, Jenny learned that DKNY and DKNY Active are marks affiliated with Donna Karan International, and Liz Claiborne, Inc. licenses DKNY Active for sportsErica Holveck wear and performance wear from www.CornellBigRed.com

Donna Karan International. In August of 2000, Graap made the first of many trips to Manhattan where she met with a DKNY Active design team for a brainstorming session focused on the look and function for the new Cornell lacrosse uniforms. There were sketches and patterns and color boards and prototypes and models. Then there was the need to bring a real lacrosse player — 5-5 Erica Holveck — to NYC to model the prototypes. Her appearance led to the creation of Kate Hirschfield a new size scale that is appropriate for the athlete’s body type. The uniforms are not only breaking the mold, they are also sized for athletic women’s bodies. The lacrosse team launched its 2001 season on March 3 with an 11-9 victory over perennial power Penn State. On that day in State College, Pa., the new DKNY Active uniforms also made their debut. What was the reaction from the players and fans alike? “For us as players, the uniforms contribute to our desired image as a high profile, competitive team,” concluded Holveck. “It’s always good to intimidate another team, and when we dressed for that first game of the season, we all stood in the locker room wearing these slick new uniforms and there was no doubt that we were ready to play. The DKNY Active gear is just one more sign of what we’re all about – creating an exciting new tradition for women’s lacrosse at Cornell.” 2003 Cornell 17 Women’s Lacrosse

2002 SEASON REVIEW Some teams are special. They exude inner confidence and find a way to win no matter what the odds. Any season that ends in a Final Four appearance is one to remember, but for the 2002 Cornell women’s lacrosse team, the season was so much more than advancing through the NCAA tournament. A team that featured seven seniors who changed the fortunes of a program was rewarded with the greatest season in school history. There are so many reasons to call the 2002 season simply the best ever: a 16-2 record, blitzing the previous record for wins in a season (13). An undefeated home record (80); four All-Americans; seven All-Ivy selections; an Ivy Player of the Year and national player of the year finalist, and the national coach of the year. While accomplishments and accolades resound, numbers and awards can’t fully recognize the toughness of a team that won four one-goal games, the talent to win eight games over ranked teams and the boldness to snap Maryland’s seven-year stretch of national titles, by 10 goals no less, for just its second NCAA tournaWith help from this goal by Sarah Averson, the Big Red ended Maryland’s ment win. reign of seven consecutive NCAA titles with a 14-4 win over the Terps The Big Red’s run to the final four was a memoto advance to the national semifinals. The win also closed out the rable one … one that won’t soon be forgotten. program’s first perfect home record, going 8-0 at Schoellkopf Field.

Her .709 winning percentage in five seasons currently ranks at the top of the school chart.

Four Big Red players earned All-America honors, including first-team selection for Jaimee Reynolds, making her just the third Big Red student-athlete to earn All-America honors for four consecutive seasons.

ITHACA, N.Y. - Jaimee Reynolds blitzed the Terrapins for seven goals and two assists as the Big Red knocked off Maryland 14-4 at Schoellkopf Field to advance to its first-ever women’s lacrosse Final Four.

BALTIMORE, Md. - The Big Red showed the heart of a champion, but the breaks went to the top-seeded Georgetown Hoyas, as the Big East champion won 12-10 in overtime at Curley Field. In arguably one of the most exciting games in the history of the national tournament, Cornell trailed 3-0 early and faced a two-goal deficit on six occasions, but rallied to tie the game five times. Unfortunately, the Red couldn’t come back a sixth. Lori Wohlschlegel led the Big Red with three first-half goals to bring the squad into a 4-4 tie at the half. Wohlschlegel missed much of the second half with an ankle injury. She attempted to play after the injury, but was taken off the field and did not return. Sarah Fischer and Jaimee Reynolds also scored two goals apiece, while Katie McCorry had three caused turnovers and four ground balls to go along with a goal and an assist. McCorry and Reynolds were named to the NCAA AllTournament team. In goal, Carrie Giancola stopped eight shots.

THE CORNELL EXPERIENCE Cornell University offers tremendous opportunities to compete at the highest levels on the field and in the classroom, but don’t just take our word for it ...

Tina Hennessey ‘93

“Through the experience of playing lacrosse at Cornell, one quality that has carried over into my postcollege life is the ability to juggle multiple challenges at a time. Being a student-athlete at Cornell, with its demanding academic workload and Division I athletics, is a great warm-up for what you will face after college. I recently decided to get my MBA while also working full time, and I had no doubt I could handle the addition of school to my already busy

life, mainly because I got great training as a student-athlete at Cornell. Watching the Cornell team excel today is great for us alumnae, since we can live somewhat vicariously through the current team in watching the players strive for goals we never reached — beating Harvard (for the first time ever in 1999 and then again the last three seasons!) winning the Ivy League (this year?) and getting a bid to the NCAA tournament. It is exciting because we experienced the same feelings and had many of the same goals, yet today’s team is reaching them, and we can truly relate to how amazing these records and accomplishments must be for them.”

Mary-Beth DeLaney Hahn ‘89 “My experience as a member of the Cornell women’s lacrosse team taught me to be disciplined and to prioritize activities. While I was a student-athlete, I had to juggle studies

and sports. I now juggle work, family and leisure activities. My success at Marsh is a result of my ability to be disciplined and organized, as I am constantly working on projects for Fortune 500 accounts and each project must be done well. I am grateful for my experience as a women’s lacrosse player, and I am proud of how well the team is currently doing.”

Jaimee Reynolds ‘02

If someone told me that during my senior year at Cornell I would be on a team that beat the University of Maryland Women’s Lacrosse Team to reach the Final Four in 2002, I would have smiled, nodded, and then maybe laughed. That’s usually what I do when I think something’s out of my reach. Now I’m starting to cry just thinking about it, but at least I can say they are happy tears. I came into Cornell not even knowing if I would/could play, and when I left I discovered that the only thing which might have kept the 2002 team from succeeding was doubt. We had the strength thanks to Coach Howley, we had the skills thanks to our coaches, Jenny, Lellie, JJ and Adrian, and we had the heart thanks to our parents and teammates. We were a team that continually im- Jaimee Reynolds, receivproved, and I can prom- ing her NCAA New York ise you that the 2002 Woman of the Year trophy alumnae and their parents will be on the side- with Cornell head coach linescheeringforateam Jenny Graap. that gets stronger every year. And when we can’t make it, we’ll have to be content with the game recaps written by our biggest fans, the Cornell communication staff and administration. Go Big Red!

Sarah McGoey ‘01

“Cornell lacrosse exemplifies unity. We work hard together and for each other. We push ourselves every day in practice because we love lacrosse, and we are passionate to play the game. The ingredient that makes all the sprinting, weight training and drills easier is that we are there together. I feel so fortunate to have been a part of the turn around in this program. We came so far in my four years, and I am so proud of my Cornell lacrosse experience.”

The 2002 Cornell women’s lacrosse alumni game

Kristen Wolf ‘99

“It is hard to find the words to express the tremendous pride I have experienced both as a player and as a coach of the Cornell women’s lacrosse program. During my first two years on the team, the Big Red went without a single Ivy League victory. In 2000 and 2001 the team finished 5-2 in the Ivies for a third-place finish. Last year they went 6-1 to finish second. Thanks to the commitment and dedication of the coaching staff and players, the program is now ranked as one of the top teams in the nation and considered to be a contender for both an Ivy League title and another NCAA tournament bid. The biggest difference between then and now can be seen by the fear in our opponent’s eyes as we take the field on game day. Cornell comes out ready to play. We are focused, we are confident, and nobody can break our team spirit. Although we definitely have some true stars on the squad, Cornell lacrosse presents itself as a unit. We are successful because opponents may be able to limit the scoring of a few of our top players, but every player on this team is a weapon ready to step up when needed. On any given day, we can threaten an upset of a higher ranked team because we believe in ourselves, and we play with the philosophy that we have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.” 2003 Cornell 42 Women’s Lacrosse

PLAYING FACILITIES Schoellkopf Field Schoellkopf Field has been an integral part of the Cornell campus since it was first constructed in 1915. During the summer of 1999, the entire playing surface was renovated with the new AstroTurf System 2000 surface, making Schoellkopf one of the finest playing fields in the country. The AstroTurf surface covers six layers of padding and drainage, designed to protect both the field and the student-athletes who play on it. The drainage system is state of the art, according to Steve Wright, director of planning, design and construction at Cornell. “This is the Cadillac of turf systems,” Wright said. “Water goes straight through; you couldn’t get any better AstroTurf.” Surrounding the playing field is a new Eurotan EPDM outdoor track. This replaced the Poly-Surf track that was installed in 1972 and the gift of Floyd R. Newman ’12. The original stadium was completed with funds given by Jacob F. Schoellkopf, Jr., ’05, Paul A. Schoellkopf ’06, Walter H. Schoellkopf ’08 and William G. Schoellkopf ’19. The seating capacity is 25,597. The crescent, constructed in 1924 to enlarge the stadium on the east side of the field, seats 20,950. The permanent steel stands were added in 1947 on the west side to accommodate 4,647. Schoellkopf Field refurbished in 1986 as part of a $3.6 million restoration. The crescent and west stands were painted and adorned with new aluminum seating. The press box was also built in 1986-87. In the summer of 1988, All-Pro Turf was installed. The installment of AstroTurf in 1999 is the fourth artificial covering on the field since the natural turf at Schoellkopf was removed in 1971 and replaced with Poly-Turf, which was installed as a gift of Joseph P. Routh ’17 of New York City. The installation of the artificial turf has enabled the field to be used for varsity and junior varsity football games, sprint football games and field hockey in the fall; and men’s and women’s lacrosse in the spring.

Berman Field On October 24, 1996, the Robert J. Kane Sports Complex was dedicated at Cornell University. The multisurfaced complex contains the William E. Simon Track and the Charles F. Berman Field. Berman Field is used by the women’s lacrosse team and both the men’s and women’s soccer squads, while the track is home to the Big Red men’s and women’s outdoor track teams. The complex is named in honor of the late Robert J. Kane ‘34, who was a Cornell athletic administrator for 37 years, starting in 1939, when he became an assistant to athletic director James Lynah. The natural turf is flat, with vertical drainage and automatic irrigation systems. The design includes a soil mix of eight parts sand, one part top soil and one part bio-solid compost. This system can divert 5-10 inches of rain per hour away from the playing surface. A mixture of 30 percent perennial rye and 70 percent Kentucky bluegrass has been used to create the turf. This mixture was selected for its sod-forming capabilities, as well as its adaptability to close mowing. The final phase of the complex was completed two years ago with the addition of permanent seating for 1,000 and a full lighting system, which allows for night time contests. The field was named in honor of the late Charles F. Berman ‘49. Described as a flashy and fiery center forward on the historic Cornell soccer team of 1948, Berman was probably the major reason that Cornell soccer reached national prominence that year.

The Richard M. Ramin Indoor Turf Room While the weather may be unpredictable, the Big Red lacrosse team knows there is a constant practice facility that isn’t affected by rain or snow. The Richard M. Ramin Room is a 27,000-square-foot indoor turf facility that allows teams the opportunity to train at any time of the year. The Lindseth Climbing Wall is also located in the Ramin Room, and is the largest natural rock, indoor climbing wall in North America. The room is named in honor of the late Richard M. Ramin ’51, who played on the varsity football team from 1948 to 1950, and who served as a Cornell administrator for 41 years. www.CornellBigRed.com

THE FRIEDMAN CENTER Cornell’s 1,100 varsity athletes have exclusive access to one of the newest and best training facilities in the nation—the 8,000-square-foot Friedman Strength and Conditioning Center. Completed in June 1997, this impressive $2 million addition to Bartels Hall reflects the university’s strong commitment to athletic excellence. Coaches and team members alike credit the center, its world-class equipment, and first-rate staff with adding immensely to the success of the Big Red athletic program. The Friedman Center contains free-weight, selectorized, plyometric, and cardiovascular equipment and has been designed to meet the diverse training needs of Cornell’s athletes. The center can accommodate up to 100 users at a time without compromising safety or function. Its unique features include airconditioning, a 175-watt stereo system, and damage-resistant flooring. Cornell’s varsity strength and conditioning program—nicknamed “Big Red Power”—focuses on enhancing performance and preventing injury. The new facility and equipment enable the staff to prescribe year-round sport-specific programs with variety and precision. Before the training programs are designed, the muscular and metabolic needs for each sport—and for each position within the sport—are analyzed. Athletes are then assessed to identify their individual strengths and weaknesses, and follow-up assessments are conducted at regular intervals. Comprehensive workouts are prescribed to address deficiencies and promote the development of skills used during competition. Injury prevention also is emphasized. Through resistance training, the number and the severity of injuries are reduced. If an injury does occur, the strength and conditioning staff works closely with the sports medicine staff to ensure a safe and complete rehabilitation. The objective is to allow the athlete to resume full participation as soon as possible.

Tom Howley

Head Coach, Strength and Conditioning Tom Howley has been the Strength and Conditioning coach at Cornell University since July 1995. In that role, he oversees the design and implementation of athletic performance programs for Cornell’s 36 varsity sports.

UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION Hunter R. Rawlings III President of the University

Hunter Rawlings, Cornell’s 10th president, is a classics scholar who was the starting center on the Haverford basketball team during his undergraduate days and later had a pitching tryout with the Baltimore Orioles. “There is nothing better than a vigorous combination of academic and athletic life,” says Rawlings. “My own college experience had a healthy measure of both and taught me the value of competition. My best friends continue to be my basketball and baseball teammates. “At Cornell, we strive for excellence in athletics as an important endeavor in its own right and as part of our commitment to the undergraduate education. The opportunity to earn an Ivy League degree and to be part of an intercollegiate team is a great reason to attend Cornell University.” Rawlings, who earned his doctorate at Princeton University, came to Cornell in 1995 from the University of Iowa, where he was president and professor of classics from 1988 until 1995. Before that, he served for four years as vice president for academic affairs and research and as dean of the graduate school at the University of Colorado. At the end of the 2002-03 academic year, he will return to full-time research and teaching as a professor of classics at Cornell. Rawlings was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1995. He has served on the board of directors of the American Council on Education and is now serving a second term on the executive committee of the Association of American Universities. He is chair of the Council of Ivy Group Presidents and a member of the Council on the Financing of Higher Education (COFHE). He is also a member of the National Academy Foundation, the Partnership for Public Service Governors, the Board of Managers of Haverford College and the National Advisory Committee of the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation.

For 16 years, she worked in admissions and financial aid, including nine years as dean of admissions and financial aid. In addition to her responsibilities at Cornell, Murphy chairs the policy committee of the Council of Ivy Group Presidents. Previously, she has held state-wide and national positions in the College Board and the National Association of College Admission Counselors.

J. Andrew Noel Jr.

Director of Athletics and Physical Education After serving three years as an associate director of athletics at Cornell University, Andy Noel was named the university’s director of athletics and physical education in 1999.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY In the mid 1800s, two New York state senators, Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White, shared the bold dream of founding a “truly great university.” Cornell, a plain-spoken inventor, wanted “an institution where any person can find instruction in any study,” including the mechanical arts and agriculture. White, a scholarly graduate of Oxford and Yale, yearned to establish a university where “truth shall be taught for truth’s sake” in the arts and sciences. Together they created a nonsectarian university that was the first in the eastern United States to admit women and that pioneered the concept of elective courses. Their egalitarian vision and innovative ideas, which set Cornell apart at its opening in 1868, continue to guide the university today. Cornell includes 13 colleges and schools. On the Ithaca campus are the seven undergraduate units—the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences; the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning; the College of Arts and Sciences; the College of Engineering; the School of Hotel Administration; the College of Human Ecology; and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations—as well as four graduate and professional units: the Graduate School, the Law School, the Johnson Graduate School of Management, and the College of Veterinary Medicine. (The Weill Medical College and the Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences are in New York City.) An Ivy League university that is also the land-grant institution of New York State, Cornell is a unique combination of public and private divisions committed to teaching, research, and public service. Cornell’s 13,600 undergraduates and 6,000 graduate and professional students come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. Interdisciplinary study and research are Cornell hallmarks, as is attention to undergraduate educa-

CORNELL’S MISSION AND VALUES

In keeping with the founding vision of Ezra Cornell, our community fosters personal discovery and growth, nurtures scholarship and creativity across a broad range of common knowledge, and engages men and women from every segment of society in this quest. We pursue understanding beyond the limitations of existing knowledge, ideology, and disciplinary structure. We affirm the value to individuals and society of the cultivation of the human mind and spirit. Our faculty, students, and staff strive to achieve these objectives in a context of “freedom with responsibility.” We promote initiative, integrity, and excellence in an academic community that prizes collegiality, civility, and responsible stewardship. As the land grant university of the State of New York, we apply the results of our endeavors in service to the community, the state, the nation and the world. “I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.” -- Ezra Cornell, 1865

OPEN DOORS, OPEN HEARTS, AND OPEN MINDS Cornell’s Statement on Diversity and Inclusiveness

Open Doors ”I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.” This statement, made by Ezra Cornell in 1865, proclaims Cornell University’s enduring commitment to inclusion and opportunity which is rooted in the shared democratic values envisioned by its founders. We honor this legacy of diversity and inclusion and welcome all individuals, including those from groups that have been historically marginalized and previously excluded from equal access to opportunity. Open Hearts Cornell’s mission is to foster personal discovery and growth, nurture scholarship and creativity across a broad range of common knowledge and affirm the value to individuals and society of the cultivation of the human mind and spirit. Our legacy is reflected in the diverse composition of our community, the breadth of our curriculum, the strength of our public service, and the depth of our commitment to freedom, equity, and reason. Each member of the Cornell community has a responsibility to honor this legacy and to support a more diverse and inclusive campus in which to work, study, teach, research, and serve. Open Minds Free expression is essential to this mission, and provocative ideas lawfully presented are an expected result. An enlightened academic community, however, connects freedom with responsibility. Cornell stands for civil discourse, reasoned thought, sustained discussion and constructive engagement without degrading, abusing, harassing, or silencing others. Cornell is committed to act responsibly and forthrightly to maintain an environment that opens doors, opens hearts and opens minds.

tion. The university’s 2,200 faculty members are active teachers as well as researchers—Nobel laureates often conduct introductory courses—and the lines of traditional disciplines are easily crossed. Engineering students dabble in photography; theatre arts students explore the world of computers; physics majors learn landscape architecture.

REALIZING A BOLD DREAM federally financed expenditures. Cornell ranks second among U.S. universities in funds allocated by the National Science Foundation for programs in academic science and engineering. Cornell has five national research centers: the Center for High Energy Synchrotron Studies, the Floyd R. Newman Laboratory of Nuclear Studies, the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (which operates the world’s largest radio-radar telescope, in Arecibo, Puerto Rico), the Cornell Nanofabrication Facility, and the National Science and

Technology Center for Computer Graphics and Scientific Visualization. The university also has four national resource centers: the Latin American Studies Program, the East Asia Program, the South Asia Program, and the Southeast Asia Program. Cornell University Library’s 17 Ithacacampus units provide an array of reference, information, and instructional services. At the southeast edge of the Arts Quad, Olin and Kroch Libraries house the largest concentration of resources in the humanities, social sciences, and area studies, including extensive Asia collections, and rare books, manuscripts, and archival materials. Mann Library, on the Ag Quad, has materials in agriculture, biology, biotechnology, and related fields. Other libraries specialize in African and African American studies, engineering, entomology, the fine arts, hotel management, industrial and labor relations, law, management, mathematics, music, the physical sciences, and veterinary medicine. Famed for its woodlands, gorges, and waterfalls, the 745-acre main campus is on a hilltop overlooking Ithaca, a lively city of about 30,000 situated at the southern end of 44-mile-long Cayuga Lake, in the Finger Lakes region of New York state. Campus attractions of special interest include the Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell Plantations, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Sapsucker Woods wildlife sanctuary. The heart of New York state’s wine-growing region is less than an hour away, as are the Corning Glass Center and Museum and the Watkins Glen auto circuit. New York City is about a four-hour drive from Ithaca.

Cornell Points of Interest

Jennie McGraw Tower and Cornell Chimes: Constructed in 1891 atop Uris Library, the tower is a campus landmark, 173 feet high and 161 steps from the ground. It houses the Cornell clock, chimes, and chimes museum. The reconfigured, retuned, and expanded set of 21 bells was reinstalled in the tower in fall 1999. The chimes are played daily by student and alumni chimesmasters, whose repertoire includes more than two thousand songs. Willard Straight Hall: “The Straight” opened in 1925 as one of the nation’s first student unions. A stately Gothic structure with cathedral ceilings, marble staircases, and oak paneling, it houses dining facilities, a browsing library, a music room, a ceramics studio, an art gallery, Cornell Cinema, meeting and activity rooms, the Office of the Dean of Students, and offices for more than forty student organizations. Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art: The museum is housed in a building designed by I. M. Pei. Built in 1973 on the site where Ezra Cornell is said to have announced his intention to found a university, it offers spectacular views of the campus, Ithaca, and Cayuga Lake. The museum’s Asian, American, and graphic arts collections are especially notable. Cornell Plantations: The Plantations’ holdings include 3,600 acres in and around Ithaca, all open to the public. On or near campus are the arboretum and botanical garden (200 acres) and 500 acres of natural areas encompassing woodlands, trails, streams, and gorges. Easily accessible on campus are rose, peony, rhododendron, wildflower, and herb gardens; shrub and nut-tree collections; the Pounder Heritage Crops Garden; and the Muenscher Poisonous Plants Garden. Laboratory of Ornithology: Situated not far from the main campus, the laboratory’s facilities include the Lyman K. Stuart Observatory, which overlooks a 10-acre pond and a bird-feeding garden, and the 200-acre Sapsucker Woods, a wildlife sanctuary with more than four miles of trails. The laboratory’s Macaulay Library of Natural Sounds has the world’s largest collection of bird-song recordings. The laboratory also is active in bioacoustics research and bird population studies. Athletics and Physical Education: Cornell’s physical education program, one of the largest in the nation, offers 120 different courses. The intramural athletics program, the largest in the Ivy League, involves 7,500 participants on 1,756 teams in 35 sports. There are 18 men’s and 18 women’s varsity teams. Varsity facilities include the Niemand•Robison Softball Field; Schoellkopf Field for football, lacrosse, and field hockey; Lynah Rink for ice hockey; Bartels Hall’s Newman Arena for basketball and volleyball; the Friedman Wrestling Center; and the Kane Sports Complex for track and field and soccer.

APPLYING TO CORNELL Applying to Cornell Admission to Cornell is highly selective. Typically, 20,000 students apply for the 3,000 places in the freshman class. Cornell selects women and men from all parts of the country and around the world, and from a wide range of social, economic, racial, and educational backgrounds. Our students are graduates of public, parochial, college preparatory, and alternative schools (including home schools). We strongly support equality of opportunity. No one is denied admission because of race, religion, national or ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, or disability. Outstanding grades, a strong academic program, and a thoughtfully-written personal application are very important to us in the selection process. So are written recommendations, standardized-test scores, and your special talents, strength of character, and intellectual potential. Quite simply, we’re interested in the people who will get the most out of a Cornell education. ○

Application Procedures Cornell has a two-part application. Both part one and part two (school forms, essay questions and recommendation forms) of the freshman application are included in our viewbook, The Big Red Book. The entire transfer application (also two parts) can be found in our Transfer Guide. If you would like to request a viewbook or the Transfer Guide, please contact the admissions office via mail, phone or internet. You’ll also need to arrange to have official records of all your secondary school and/or college-level work and standardized-test scores sent directly to us. (Note that we don’t accept the Common Application.) Once your file is complete, the Undergraduate Admissions Office will pass it along to the undergraduate college you’ve applied to at Cornell, where the selection committee will review it. You may apply to only one of the seven undergraduate colleges at Cornell.

What’s Due When?

A Word About Early Decision If Cornell is your first choice and you’re applying for freshman admission, consider applying under the early-decision plan. Your application will be read in the fall, and you’ll be notified by mid-December of Cornell’s decision. Between 25-30 percent of recent freshman classes came to Cornell through EDP. Because enthusiasm for Cornell is considered a plus, early-decision applicants stand a better chance of gaining admission—a fact reflected in the statistics. Remember that an early-decision application is a commitment. You can apply under early decision to only one college or university. If you’re accepted at Cornell, you must withdraw any applications sent to other schools and send your acceptance deposit by January 10th. Most applicants who are notified in mid-December that they were not accepted under early decision will be reviewed again during the regular decision process. Some applicants will receive final notification in December that they are being denied admission to Cornell and will not be referred to the regular decision pool.

When Does The Fat Envelope Arrive? If you’re applying as a freshman for the fall semester, you’ll have Cornell’s decision by early April. Agriculture and Life Sciences, Hotel Administration and Industrial and Labor Relations roll out their decisions as they’re made, from February through early April. Architecture, Art, and Planning; Arts and Sciences; Engineering; and Human Ecology let you know in early April. No matter when you receive notification you’ll have until May 1, or 15 days after you’ve received the offer, whichever is later, to respond. If you’re applying as a transfer student for the fall semester, you’ll receive Cornell’s decision by mid-June. Spring transfers hear in December. You’ll have until June 1 (spring transfers, until January 1), or two weeks after you’ve received the offer, whichever is later to respond.

COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE Those who seek an undergraduate education at an Ivy League school do so because of the promise of academic challenge, of quality teaching and of diverse and plentiful resources. It was a shared perspective on the proper balance of athletics and academics that led to the creation of the Ivy League in 1954. When the member schools formally united, it was agreed that athletes are admitted as students and should be awarded financial aid only on the basis of economic need. As a result, students today are not bound to their sports because of athletic scholarships, rather they choose to participate in athletics because they relish competition and physical challenges. Cornell is especially attractive to those who seek a school committed to both academic and athletic excellence. With 36 varsity sports, the university’s athletic department is one of the most comprehensive in the country. Along with a schedule that pits Cornell against its Ancient Eight rivals, Big Red teams compete in Division I of the NCAA and the ECAC. An impressive staff of coaches leads the Big Red teams and recruits some of the finest student-athletes from a national and international pool of accomplished young men and women. The coaches demonstrate a commitment to teaching and a willingness to share their own competitive experiences with their teams. Their individual achievements and accomplishments include playing and coaching time in the professional and international ranks as well as numerous all-star performances during their own collegiate careers. Set against a backdrop of the natural beauty of Cayuga Lake and the surrounding hills, an extensive array of facilities provides a tremendous environment for practice and competition for Cornell’s varsity teams. Schoellkopf Field and its distinctive crescent-shaped stadium may be Cornell’s most familiar sports venue, but since the mid-’90s, a number of new facilities have become landmarks as well. The Friedman Strength and Conditioning Center, a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to the support and improvement of athletes’ performances, is a place where all teams gather to train. The Kane Sports Complex, with its Berman Field for soccer and the Simon Track, and the Niemand•Robison Softball Field are also impressive facilities. The Reis Tennis Center and the Oxley Equestrian Center, home of the equestrian and polo teams, are part of an expanding complex that will include new homes for other teams as Cornell continues to realize its plan for renovation and building of athletic facilities. Spacious and historic Barton Hall is home to the indoor track and field teams. The volleyball and basketball teams compete in Bartels Hall’s 4,473-seat Newman Arena and the fencing team’s home, the Stifel Fencing Salle, is located on the lower level of the facility. Adjacent to the Bartels Hall is famed Lynah Rink, where the Big Red hockey teams perform before sellout crowds for most home games. The Friedman Wrestling Center, new to campus in 2002, is located to the north of Bartels. The gymnastics and swimming teams are

Department of Athletics and Physical Education Mission Statement

The Department of Athletics and Physical Education strives to provide students with powerful and meaningful participatory experiences that forge enduring bonds with Cornell, and to provide for the well-being of members of the faculty, staff, and community. We offer a diverse program of physical and outdoor education, recreational services, and intercollegiate athletic competition, equitably administered with special attention to the needs of women and members of under-represented minority groups. We foster the values of physical fitness, total well-being, and enduring participation in athletics; teach leadership skills, teamwork, responsibility, and accountability; and administer programs that can be critical to the educational and personal development of students in keeping with the high standards of Cornell, the Ivy League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The department promotes pride and unity within the university community and provides opportunities to develop, strengthen, and maintain ties to external audiences such as alumni, friends, the educational community, and the general public by attracting interest, recognition, and support.

housed in Teagle Hall where Cornell crews also train during the winter months. Just down the hill from campus are the Collyer Boat House and the Doris Robison Shell House, which are scheduled for renovation and expansion. Cornellians have been national champions in ice hockey, lacrosse, polo, rowing, track and field and wrestling. They have also earned spots in halls of fame, on All-America teams, on the Olympic medal podium and have written their names in record books as Wimbledon tennis champions and major league players in baseball, basketball, football and hockey. Four years ago, Seth Payne ’97 joined the Jacksonville Jaguars of the NFL after being selected in the fourth round of the draft and is now with the Houston Texans. Ken Dryden ’69, former star goalie of the Montreal Canadiens and current president of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Joe Nieuwendyk ’88, a 2002 Olympic gold medalist and current player for the New Jersey Devils, are Cornell hockey alumni. Last year a number of teams and individuals competed in NCAA tournament action, including women’s cross country, men’s ice hockey and men’s and women’s lacrosse. The men’s hockey team was ranked among the top 10 in the nation for most of the year, while the women’s lacrosse team advanced to its first-ever final four. Two gymnasts earned All-America honors at the USA Gymnastics National Championships, while in polo, Melissa Riggs ’02 was honored as the nation’s top collegiate player for the second straight year. Doug Murray ’03 was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, the highest honor in men’s collegiate hockey, and Ryan McClay ’03 helped the United States capture top honors at the 2002 International Lacrosse Federation World Championships in Perth, Australia. Cornell is proud that, as a group, varsity athletes regularly match or exceed the student body’s overall GPA for academic performance. The University is especially proud that every semester a number of undergraduates — more than 30 on average — achieve a 4.0 GPA while participating in varsity sports. These scholar-athletes are inducted into the athletic department’s 400 Club at a semiannual breakfast given by President Hunter Rawlings, Vice President for Student and Academic Services Susan Murphy and Director of Athletics Andy Noel. These dedicated student-athletes demonstrate that the ideal is achievable, that it is possible to excel both in the classroom and in the sporting arena. In 2001-02, a number of student-athletes were named to Verizon Academic All-America teams, including a repeat first-team selection by Jaimee Reynolds ’02. The collegiate experience at Cornell is a rich one for varsity athletes because the University supports their passion to excel. www.CornellBigRed.com
