Season Preview

Ashley Miller (left) and Natalie Sparks will be key components to the Wilmington offense this season.

C

hanges are abundant for the Wilmington College volleyball team, and it starts at the top as Beth Floyd assumes the controls of the program.

Floyd is also the school’s assistant athletic director and softball coach. “We are looking forward to an exciting season,” said Floyd. “Our young ladies are dedicated to getting better everyday, and will play with passion. Volleyball is a great team sport and we have great team chemistry.” The Quakers are replacing forty percent of their roster, losing four starters in the process, off a team that went 6-19 a season ago. Most of the team’s offense has graduated as Anne Kennan, Sarah Fisher and Caity Massie combined for 418 of the team’s 660 kills. Junior Ashley Miller, who spent time as the team’s setter, returns back to her natural middle hitter position. She finished with 113 kills and a team-high 291 assists and 23 service aces. She added 22 blocks and was second on the team with 193 digs. Follow us on Twitter: @WCQuakers

“Ashley is the consummate team player, and we are looking forward to her having a big year for us,” said Floyd. “She is one of the most athletic players on the roster, and we will put her in the right positions to be successful.” Juniors Natalie Sparks and Emily Regan also return to bolster the WC lineup. Sparks finished the season with 89 kills, while Regan added 124 digs. Senior Molly Hirtzinger will also see some time along the front row. The return of sophomores Tabby Biegler and Courtney Hurley, both of whom missed the entire season with injuries, will help give Floyd some athleticism and depth. “Tabby brings a certain attitude to the court, and we certainly missed it last season,” said Floyd. “We are pleased to have her back on the court. “Courtney has battled injuries throughout her WC career, and we are really excited to see what she will bring to us on the court,” said Floyd.

2013 Recaps

W

Caity Massie

Sara Fisher

Anne Keenan

ith seven victories, the volleyball team had to find a way to overcome some adverse situations. Midway through the season, head coach Jan Tobe was forced to step away for health related issues. Still a team led by its three seniors, Anne Keenan, Sara Fisher and Caity Massie, soldiered on.

“Anne, Sara, and Caity have all been impact players throughout their four years with us,” said interim head coach Jill West. “I could always count on one of them to step up when the team needed them to. Their shoes will be hard to fill but they have already inspired the younger girls to step up and take their places.” Unfortunately, they couldn’t quite get over OAC hump and finished winless in the conference season. The development of several players, including sophomore Ashley Miller and freshman Ariana Neff, gives the Lady Quakers some building blocks. “This year we had a very young team,” said West. “It was all about building our team for the future. The young girls stepped up because of the leadership from our seniors and I look forward to great things happening next year.” Four volleyball players – Fisher, Keenan, sophomore Emily Regan and sophomore Natalie Sparks – earned academic recognition.

Athletic Training SPECIALISTS IN THE PREVENTION, TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION OF SPORTS INJURIES Athletic training is an exciting and fast-paced allied medical profession. As an integral member of the athletic healthcare team, the certified athletic trainer (ATC) is educated in prevention, treatment, evaluation and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries and illnesses sustained by physically active people. Certified athletic trainers work closely with medical professionals in a wide range of settings that include high schools, colleges and universities, professional teams, sports medicine clinics, corporate fitness facilities and hospitals. In 2005, Wilmington’s athletic training program earned the maximum seven-year accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Students completing the Bachelor of Science degree program at WC are eligible for the National Athletic Trainers’ Association Board of Certification (NATABOC) examination to become a certified athletic trainer. Students also are eligible for the Ohio licensing exam upon earning their ATC credentials. All athletic training students are considered pre-professional during their first two semesters. After satisfactory completion of the pre-professional requirements, students are advanced to the professional phase of the curriculum, including advanced clinical education.

The college also values international cultures and facilitates courses in global studies, as well as accommodating long-and shortterm study-abroad and touring opportunities. While Wilmington offers such popular majors as education, business administration, biology, criminal justice, sports management, social work and pre-professional, some of its more unique academic areas are the highly acclaimed agriculture program and its athletic training/ sports medicine program, which are considered among the best in the nation. Popular co-curricular activities for students are the numerous campus organizations at Wilmington that range from fraternities and sororities to faith-based groups, music and drama, publications, student government and service learning. Wilmington regularly hosts entertainment programs designed especially for college students, as well as those open to the greater community such as its highly acclaimed annual peace symposium and Issues & Artists Series, which has brought to campus unique entertainers, provocative and informative speakers, and entities representing diverse American and international cultures. Much has changed at Wilmington College since students gained national fame for building a dormitory in 1948. But a constant throughout the college’s 141-year history has been the transforming nature of the Wilmington College experience. Students leave Wilmington with the tools to succeed as they engage in careers or further their education in today’s rapidly changing world. They also bring with them a wealth of knowledge and experience gained from the liberal arts, the embodiment of well-rounded individuals able to think critically and appreciate the role the arts, sciences and humanities play in a fulfilling life. They also realize that service to others is often an important road to self-realization. Indeed, since 1870, Wilmington College has prepared students to make a living, make a life and make a difference.

Why We Play Division III Athletics It’s not about getting a scholarship, getting drafted, or making SportsCenter. It’s a deep need in us that comes from heart. We need to practice, to play, to lift, to hustle, to sweat. We do it all for our teammates and for the student in our calculus class that we don’t even know. We don’t practice with a future major league first baseman; we practice with a future sports agent. We don’t lift weights with a future Olympic wrestler; we lift with a future doctor. We don’t run with a future Wimbledon champion; we run with a future CEO. It’s a bigger part of us than our friends and family can understand. Sometimes we play for 2,000 fans; sometimes 25. But we still play hard. You cheer for us because you know us. You know more than just our names. Like all of you, we are students first. We don’t sign autographs. But we do sign graduate school applications, MCAT exams, and student body petitions. When we miss a kick or strike out, we don’t let down an entire state. We only let down our teammates, coaches, and fans. But the hurt is still the same. We train hard, lift, throw, run, kick, tackle, shoot, dribble, and lift some more, and in the morning we go to class. And in that class we are nothing more than students. It’s about pride - in ourselves, in our school. It’s about our love and passion for the game. And when it’s over, when we walk off that court or field for the last time, our hearts crumble. Those tears are real. But deep down inside, we are very proud of ourselves. We will forever be what few can claim ... college athletes.
