play was good for a third-place tie in the final standings and represented the fifth season in the last six years Cornell has posted a winning league record. Eight of the team’s top 11 scorers were freshmen or sophomores. The 2004 campaign was a trying one for Graap and the Big Red, but the 6-9 season may have been one of her best coaching jobs. After losing a combined six All-Americans in the previous two years, Graap took a team with just two seniors that dropped eight of its first nine games and turned the ship around, helping Cornell to five wins in its last six contests. The Big Red knocked off nationally ranked Rutgers and Syracuse, as well as NCAA tournament participant and Patriot League champion Colgate. It also dropped one-goal decisions to NCAA semifinalist Vanderbilt and Ivy League runner-up Dartmouth on the road. Cornell claimed its second Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference title in four years to cap off an 11-5 campaign in 2003. The team finished the season ranked No. 12 nationally in the IWLCA poll and defeated three other top 20 teams. Sarah Averson ’03 was named to the Tewaaraton Watch List for national player of the year honors. The 2002 season was unquestionably the greatest season in Big Red women’s lacrosse history. Cornell culminated the campaign with a 16-2 record; its two losses coming on the road against the two national finalists, and set 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.

Fourth Season At Cornell Delaware ‘02 Assistant Coach
Laurie Tortorelli, a former AllAmerica goalkeeper at the University of Delaware, begins her fourth season as an assistant coach under head coach Jenny Graap. Tortorelli is involved in all aspects of the program, from recruiting and travel planning to developing and implementing practice and game day strategy. It was Tortorelli’s work with goalkeeper Maggie Fava that helped the senior quickly adjust to the starting role after being thrust into the lineup just three games into her sophomore season. Thanks to her constant improvement, Fava enters her final season ranked seventh in school history in career saves. In her first season, Tortorelli helped the Big Red to an 115 record and an ECAC championship. The Big Red defense

2006 SEASON OUTLOOK
Looking To The Next Step: Young Big Red Eyes Ivy Title, Return Trip To NCAA Tournament Last season, head coach Jenny Graap faced arguably her biggest challenge at Cornell – trying to mold a young squad into a champion. It is something she was quite familiar with. Graap brought a program floundering below .500 into a Final Fourteamwithherfirstfullrecruitingclass.Thatgroup,featuring All-AmericansSarahAverson,CarrieGiancola,EricaHolveck,Katie McCorry and national player of the year finalist Jaimee Reynolds, carriesquiteafewparallelstolastyear’sclass.FeaturingAll-Ivy selections Courtney Farrell and Katherine Simmons and top defender Jessica Dwinell, the rookie class contributed 49 percent of the team’s goals scored and 43 percent of its points en route to a 9-6 season and a top 20 national ranking in the final polls just a season after going 6-9. With 23 freshmen and sophomores making up a roster of 32 women, Graap will put a heavy leadership responsibility on the four-personseniorclassofMaggieFava,LyndsayRobinson,Allison Schindler and Rachel Spoonhower. How they respond, as well as the five-playerjuniorclass,willgoalongwaysindeterminingthelevel of success in 2006. While all phases of the game look to be strong heading into the year, a schedule that features matchups with seven preseason top 20 teams will give this Cornell team every opportunity to get noticed on a national level and prepare itself for an NCAA tournament berth. Half of the team’s eight non-league opponents are ranked, and a fifth earned a league title and an NCAA tourney bid in 2005. THE ATTACK A year ago the Big Red entered the season with upperclassmen as the focal point of the offense, but a pair of freshmen exploded onto the scene, each earning All-Ivy honors. This season the attack will be diversified, with numerous players having the ability to contribute to what figures to be a potent offense.

Cornell may be a cutting-edge research university, but that doesn’t mean undergraduate education is an afterthought. A Cornell undergrad could spend the morning in a meeting with a professor for an independent study and the afternoon in large survey courses like psych 101. Students here work hard. Besides attending classes, there’s reading, writing, and research, not to mention preparing for exams. But students still find time to build friendships, volunteer off campus, hold part-time jobs and play sports. And while some students spend their four years close to campus, many go farther afield. They study natural medicinals in South America, marine biology off the coast of Maine, and public policy in Albany, N.Y. In addition to university-run programs in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Rome, Italy, Cornellians travel to sites around the world, polishing their language skills and broadening their horizons.

He previously had served as president from 1995 until 2003. Rawlings 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 theBaltimoreOrioles. “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.” Rawlings, who earned his doctorate at Princeton University, came to Cornell in 1995 from the University of Iowa, where we 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 as a dean of the graduate school at the University of Colorado. Rawlings returned to full-time research and teaching as a professor of classics at Cornell. Rawlings was elected a member of the 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 served as chair of the Council of Ivy Group Presidents and as 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.

J. ANDREWNOEL Jr. 25th Year at Cornell The Meakem!Smith Director of Athletics and Physical Education Andy Noel begins his seventh year as Cornell University’s director of athletics and physical education having led the Big Red athletics program to unprecedented success while setting a course for his vision of continued prosperity. His position was endowed in December 2003 by Jack ’58 and Diane ’61 Meakem and Scott Smith ’79. Jack is a former oarsman and member of Cornell’s Athletic Hall of Fame, while Scott wrestled under Noel during his time on East Hill. The Big Red teams have parlayed Noel’s accomplishments into success on and off the playing field. Cornell’s athletic teams have won 28 Ivy League team titles and eight national championships during his tenure and have posted a cumulative .510 winning percentage or better in five of his first six seasons. The program’s 22 Ivy titles in the last three years is tied for the most ever at Cornell in that span, increasing from a total of six in his first three years to at least seven in each of the last three seasons. Academically in 2004-05, 28 of the school’s 36 teams had cumulative grade point averages of 3.0 or better, with 128 individual semesters with a 4.0 GPA during the year. In addition, Cornell has had 10 student-athletes named Academic All-America in the last three years, the most of any Ivy school. Noel accepted the appointment as director after serving three years as an associate director of athletics for the Big Red. Since becoming director, Noel has continued to hire top coaches and has also successfully upgraded a number of department facilities (including renovating Schoellkopf Hall and building the Friedman Wrestling Center). During his tenure, he has also been a member of the team that raised $66 million in support of capital projects and endowment, helping secure the financial future of the department. During the campaign, 21 coaching and staff positions were endowed, bringing the total number of endowed positions within the department to 30, the most of any school in the country. Noel was the Big Red’s head wrestling coach from 1974 to 1988 and then served two years as an assistant director in the department’s public affairs office, implementing the athletic department’s annual giving program. At Cornell, his wrestling teams won four Ivy League championships and placed second four times. Under Noel’s direction, the wrestling team established a strong network of support from alumni and friends. In 1990, he was recognized at the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Championships for his distinguished coaching career at Cornell, and in 1992 he was inducted into the New York State Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame. He is also a member of the Franklin and Marshall Sports Hall of Fame. In addition to his coaching and administrative career, Noel served on the wrestling committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association from 1997-2001. He is currently a member of the NCAA Championships Cabinet and serves on both the Misconduct Appeals committee and the Playing Rules Oversight Panel. Noel is a past chairman of the Ivy League athletic directors’ committee on administration and serves on the Cornell President’s Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs. A native of Lancaster, Pa., he graduated from Franklin and Marshall College in 1972 with a bachelor of arts degree in history and received his master of arts degree in counseling and guidance from Colgate University in 1973. Noel is married to Dr. Betsy Mead Noel ‘86, and has a son Jonathan ‘04 and two daughters, Amanda ‘07, and 1-year-old Amelie.

TTHIS HIS I ISS CCORNELL ORNELL U UNIVERSITY NIVERSITY Schoellkopf Schoellkopf Field 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 the late 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 was 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.

On Oct. 24, 1996, the Robert J. Kane Sports Complex was dedicated at CornellUniversity. The multisurfaced complex contains the William E. Simon Track and the Charles F. Berman Field. Berman Field has been 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 Cornellathleticadministratorfor37years,startingin1939,whenhebecame anassistanttoathleticdirectorJamesLynah. 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 mixturewasselectedforitssod-formingcapabilities,aswellasitsadaptability to close mowing. The final phase of the complex included 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.

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, the Belkin Squash Courts, 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 continuestorealizeitsplanforrenovationandbuildingofathleticfacilities. 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 Bartels Hall is famed Lynah Rink, where the Big Red hockey teams perform before sellout crowds for most home games. The Friedman Wrestling Center, opened in 2002, is located to the north of Bartels. The gymnastics and swimming teams are 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.
