COACHING STAFF

GROVE CITY COLLEGE

HEAD COACH STEVE LAMIE A 1985 magna cum laude graduate of Grove City College, Steve Lamie enters his 18th season as the Wolverines’ head men’s basketball coach.

In his 17 seasons at the College, Lamie has directed the Wolverines to four Presidents’ Athletic Conference championships, six postseason berths and national and regional acclaim in numerous statistical categories.

In 2010, he earned the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Great Lakes Coach of the Year award after directing the Wolverines to a 19-9 record, the PAC title and a berth in the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament.

In 2007, Lamie led Grove City to one of the most improbable championships in PAC history as the Wolverines captured the conference tournament after entering as the fourth seed.

Four years ago, he earned his 200th win at Grove City when the Wolverines earned an 80-77 win over rival Geneva February 9, 2012 on Hall of Fame Day at the College.

Year 1998-99

Lamie guided Grove City to the PAC championship in 2003 as the Wolverines downed Thiel in the conference title game, 60-59, in Greenville.

The 2002-03 Wolverines ranked in the top 10 nationally in both field goal percentage and rebound margin while finishing 18-9, the fifth-best season in school history.

Grove City also hosted its first-ever ECAC playoff game in 2003 as the Wolverines hosted Neumann College in a quarterfinal game.

In 2001-02, the Wolverines finished second in the nation in rebound margin and held their opponents to less than 38 percent shooting from the floor.

Grove City also finished among the national leaders in field goal percentage in 2004-05. Two years ago, Grove City led the conference in scoring defense.

In his first season, the Wolverines captured the Presidents’ Athletic Conference championship and advanced to the ECAC Championship Tournament.

He has also coached seven 1,000-point scorers in former standouts Tanner Prosser, Ryan Eller, Shawn Carr, Ryan Gibson, Andy O’Keefe, Brett Matson and Mitch Marmelstein.

O’Keefe also earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors in 2010. Three Grove City players have earned Academic All-District during his tenure.

Lamie is the 21st head men’s basketball coach in Grove City history. Prior to becoming head coach, he assisted longtime head coach John Barr for four seasons.

The Wolverines won 16 games in consecutive seasons and reached the ECAC tournament in each of Lamie’s first two years as an assistant.

Lamie played four years under Barr, earning the team’s hustle award and co-captain honors as a senior.

As a sophomore during the 1982-83 season, he helped Grove City advance to the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament as the Wolverines set a school record with 21 victories.

His coaching career began as an assistant at Cedar Crest High School in Lebanon, Pa. After four seasons at Cedar Crest, Lamie spent two years as a graduate assistant at Kent State, earning his master’s degree in biology in 1991.

Lamie then returned to the high school ranks for three seasons as a head coach. After one year at Palisades High School in Kintersville, Pa., Lamie led Perkasie, Pa.-based Pennridge High School to the District I playoffs in 1994, ending a six-year drought.

In addition to his coaching duties, Lamie is an assistant professor of physical education and exercise science.

He previously served as an assistant men’s and women’s track and field coach at the College.

His wife Melissa recently completed her 23rd season as Grove City’s head women’s soccer coach.

SEASON PREVIEW

GROVE CITY COLLEGE

SEASON PREVIEW The Grove City College men’s basketball team returns five seniors and six underclassmen letterwinners for the 2015-16 season as the Wolverines aim to return to the Presidents’ Athletic Conference’s elite.

Grove City will have to replace its top two scorers from last season while also adjusting to the 30-second shot clock that has been introduced into college basketball this year.

While the Wolverines’ core tenets of stout team defense and disciplined offense remain unchanged, 18th-year head coach Steve Lamie expects to incorporate new wrinkles into Grove City’s game plan this year.

Senior guards Joe Vermilya and Stephen Tam both return for their fourth season in the Grove City backcourt.

The 6-foot-2 Vermilya shot 39 percent from behind the three-point line last year and will look to become one of Grove City’s top threats from outside.

Tam made nine starts as a junior and has the inside track to start at the point this year. He ranked second on the team with 22 steals last year while appearing in all 26 games.

Senior swingmen Caleb Knudsen and Isaiah Reeves also return for the 2015-16 season. Knudsen led Grove City in rebound average (7.3) and assists (83) while also averaging 8.2 points per game last year, his first year in the Wolverine program. The 6-4 Knudsen started all 26 games as a junior.

Injuries limited Reeves to 19 games last year. A defensive ace, Reeves will likely be used as a stopper once again this year. He also shot 50 percent from the field last year.

Sophomore forward Andrew Beckman will challenge for a starting spot up front in 2015-16.

Erik Carlstrom, a 6-6 center, returns for his fourth season in the pivot. Carlstrom has started 15 games in his career and is shooting 52 percent from the field for his career. Carlstrom provides both a physical presence and experience in the paint for Grove City.

Junior forward Tyler McGrath returns for his second season at Grove City after making seven starts last year.

The 6-6 McGrath averaged 3.6 points and 3.2 rebounds after bouncing back from an early-season injury.

Junior guard Mitch Newburg will look to break into the lineup on a full-time basis after making 15 appearances over his first two seasons. At 6-2, Newburg brings size and versatility to the Grove City backcourt.

A quartet of sophomores return in the frontcourt for Grove City as well. Burly 6-5 center Cory Huff started 22 games as a rookie and averaged 6.3 points per game. Scott McSweeney, a rangy 6-8 post player, also returns after appearing in 21 games last year.

Those two are joined by 6-6 pivotman Andrew Beckman, who played in 23 games as a freshman. Beckman led Grove City with eight blocked shots in 2014-15 and will compete with Carlstrom, Huff and McSweeney for a starting spot.

Also in the mix is 6-6 forward Jonathan Grim, a rangy athlete who can defend both inside and on the perimeter.

Grim moved into the rotation at midseason as a freshman and finished with 16 appearances.

Sophomore guard Seth Muck will compete for time at the point this year while 6-4 classmate Jeff Schmidt will challenge for time at guard and small forward. Several newcomers are also expected to battle for time this season.

Sophomore center Cory Huff led Grove City’s rookies in scoring in 2014-15 and is expected to be an intergral part of the frontcourt rotation this year.

ABOUT

THE

THE PRESIDENTS’ ATHLETIC CONFERENCE

PRESIDENTS’ ATHLETIC CONFERENCE

The Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC), built on the basic belief that an athletic program is an integral part of college life, but not an entity in itself, looks back on sixty years of growth and ahead to years of continued academic and athletic excellence.

Formally organized in 1955 by Western Reserve University, John Carroll University, Case Institute of Technology, and Wayne State University, the PAC was the result of a realization that college athletics, despite numerous virtues for the individual and the institution, were gradually becoming a financial and academic burden.

If athletics were to be continued, action had to be taken to place the program on its proper level. This included the premise that benefits of participation should be provided to as many students as possible.

Currently comprised of 10 select private institutions – Bethany College, Chatham University, Geneva College, Grove City College, Saint Vincent College, Thiel College, Thomas More College, Washington & Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and Westminster College – the PAC remains a unique organization in this day of high pressure intercollegiate athletics, with academics at the center of each member’s philosophy.

In 2012, the PAC Presidents’ Council added Carnegie Mellon University and Case Western Reserve University as affiliate members in the sport of football beginning with the 2014 season.

The PAC crowns league champions and awards all-conference honors in its 21 championship sports.

Head coaches determine all-PAC squads for all team sports, while in individual sports, such as cross country and tennis, all-PAC accolades are based upon performances at the conference championships.

The PAC, which recently celebrated its 60th anniversary, annually awards its men’s and women’s All-Sports Trophies to the schools which perform best across the board in PAC competition.

The Grove City women and Waynesburg men captured the 2014-15 Trophies.

Last year, the conference named 935 of its student-athletes to the PAC Academic Honor Roll, which recognizes all participating student-athletes who earn a term grade-point average of 3.60 or above.

GROVE CITY COLLEGE

PROGRAM HISTORY

PROGRAM HISTORY Since its inception in the 1898-99 season, the Grove City College men’s basketball team has compiled over 1,100 wins and numerous championships while producing an innumerable number of outstanding players.

Grove City began play late in the 1898-99 season with a 32-9 loss at Allegheny in Meadville, Pa. After winning just three of its first 13 games in the first three seasons, Grove City found success in early years of the 20th Century. Edward Campbell took over as player-head coach in 1901 and directed the Wolverines to Tri-State championships in 1903 and 1905. In his four seasons as head coach, Campbell compiled a 50-13 mark.

Frank Hays, William Brown and Fred Locke all spent time at the helm in the latter half of the decade before Weir C. Ketler took control in 1910.

Ketler, who later became President of Grove City College from 1916 to 1956, coached the team for three seasons.

Under Ketler’s tutelage, Grove City went 32-7, including the undefeated team of 1911-1912, the only perfect squad in program history.

The College played its home games in the basement of Carnegie Library during that time period. The floor was small and the ceiling low.

Grove City had to rely on teamwork in order to work the ball through the defense for short shots under the basket.

In the 1912-13 season, Grove City moved into a new gymnasium on Main Street, which became the premier facility in the district.

The gymnasium became a hotbed of district college and high school games and hosted Mercer County, Northwest Pennsylvania and Western Pennsylvania high school tournament games.

Howard Acher, who played for Ketler, spent four total years over two stints as head coach during the World War I years while Harold White guided the 1917-1918 team.

The 1922 National Intercollegiate Tournament Team In 1920, Robert E. Thorn took over as head coach.

Thorn’s first squad went 16-1, igniting the program’s most successful run during the early years.

Between 1920 and 1928, the Crimson and White went 114-32 (.781). The 1921-22 team represented the East Region at the National Intercollegiate Tournament in Indianapolis.

The next season, Grove City upset both the University of Pittsburgh, 36-34, and West Virginia University, 38-9. In that win at WVU, Grove City held West Virginia without a field goal for the entire game as all nine points came from the foul line.

Thorn coached the team through the mid-1930s until 1937, when Jim Loveless took over as head coach.

As World War II ignited, male enrollment at the College dropped sharply. Grove City did not field a team in 1943-44 but resumed intercollegiate action in the 194445 season under head coach Charles Ruffner.

Thorn returned as head coach for one more season before Loveless began a second run as head coach in 1947. Loveless coached until 1954, with four winning seasons in a five-year span highlighting his stint.

During Loveless’ tenure, Grove City opened the Grove City College Arena on Dec. 5, 1953 and also played its 50th season of basketball.

Al Pesek then coached for one season before Jim Curry led Grove City to a 13-5 record in 1955-56.

Jack Behringer, Grove City’s athletic director for 40 years, then directed the squad to a 12-6 mark the following season.

Dan Leviton then succeeded Behringer as head coach in the 1956-57. The five-year Leviton era produced the College’s first three 1,000-point scorers.

Dutch Leonard (1955-59) became the first four-digit scorer in Grove City history while Tom Robinson (1957-62) and Bart Niemeyer (1958-62) also went over 1,000 points.

Grove City also played its 1,000th game on Feb. 17, 1962 against Allegheny.

MEN’S BASKETBALL 2015-2016

PROGRAM HISTORY His 2,234 career points are by far the most in College history.

In his senior year, Grove City highlighted a 19-5 campaign by upsetting nationally-ranked Ashland, 41-40, in December 1968.

John Cochran became the College’s second all-time leading scorer during the 1969-70 season with 1,352 career points after averaging 21.6 points that year. In 1971, Russ Trimmer replaced Wettig as head coach, going 1212 in his only season.

After 12 years at Lexington High School in Ohio, John Barr assumed control of the Grove City program in the fall of 1972. Barr would eventually lead Grove City to over 300 wins and three league titles in 26 years as head coach.

Despite Fred Schwab (1970-74) moving into third place on Grove City’s all-time scoring list with 1,215 points, the Wolverines suffered three consecutive sub.500 seasons under Barr.

But in 1975-76, Barr’s efforts began to pay off. Grove City went 16-6 and qualified for the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament for the first time in school history.

Two years later, Grove City led the nation in field goal percentage defense, holding teams to just 39.9 percent.

The following year, 1978-79, the Wolverines returned to the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament.

Led by 1,000-point scorers Bill Fox (1,192) and Mike Donahoe (1,051), Grove City went 18-7 and won its first-ever postseason game as the Wolverines downed Albright, 79-73, in the regional third-place game.

Donahoe and Fox both earned College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America recognition during that historic 1978-79 campaign.

As the 1980s dawned, Grove City strung together four straight winning seasons, highlighted by the 1982-83 team that won a school-record 21 games.

Grove City again reached the NCAA Tournament and after a 56-52 loss to Widener in the first round, the Wolverines rebounded to drill Moravian, 76-54, in the thirdplace game.

PROGRAM HISTORY

But the most famous Grove City basketball player from that era became more known for throwing a baseball than shooting a basketball.

Gary Peters played basketball at Grove City from 1955-57 before beginning a professional baseball career that would put him in the national spotlight. Peters signed with the Chicago White Sox organization while at Grove City and moved up through their minor-league system.

He broke through in 1963 and earned the American League’s Rookie of the Year award by going 19-8 with an AL-best 2.33 earned run average.

Peters led the American League in wins with 20 in 1964 and also led the league in ERA in 1966 with a 1.98 mark. A two-time All-Star (1964, 1967), Peters finished his career with the Boston Red Sox. While Peters baffled American League hitters during the 1960s, the Grove City basketball program continued to reach new heights under head coach Cliff Wettig (196271).

Dave Marovich fired in 1,072 points in just three seasons while Ron Arrington scored 1,069 points from 1962 to 1966 to lead the Wolverines in the mid-1960s.

All-time leading scorer Jeff Claypool arrived on campus from Lexington, Ohio in the fall of 1965 and quickly made his mark on the program by averaging 20 points per game his freshman season.

Claypool then averaged 25 points per game in 196667 before posting 29.6 points per night as a junior. As a senior in 1968-69, Claypool poured in 686 points for an average of 29.8 per game. That is still the school single-season record.

GROVE CITY COLLEGE

PROGRAM HISTORY home finale against Waynesburg, finishing his three-year career at Grove City with 1,255 points that season.

Timko led the nation in three-point percentage and his 670 points that year ranks as the second-highest single-season total in program history.

Meanwhile, forward Benjamin Davis finished with 1,094 points in his four seasons.

Both the 1994-95 and 1995-96 teams won 16 games and reached the ECAC Tournament. Forward Dan Von Handorf (1,029) and guard Jim Wherley (1,162) both finished their careers as 1,000-point scorers.

Von Handorf joined Claypool as the only Grove City player to score 400 points in a season twice.

During that 1995-96 season, Barr earned his 300th victory with a 71-59 home win over Waynesburg Feb. 17, 1996. Grove City also won its 1,000th game that year.

Barr’s final squad featured no seniors but still managed to work its way into contention for the PAC crown.

On “John Barr Day” in the Grove City College Arena, Grove City nearly rallied from a 25-point deficit before falling to conference champion Thiel to close the 1997-98 season.

Following Barr’s retirement, a new era of Wolverine basketball began as assistant coach Steve Lamie took over as head coach prior to the 1998-99 season.

A 1985 graduate of the College, Lamie played on the 1983 NCAA Tournament team and had assisted Barr for four seasons.

PROGRAM HISTORY

The 1982-83 NCAA Tournament Team Bob Crow (1,450) and Mark Smith (1,171) each closed their careers by finishing among Grove City’s top 10 alltime in scoring.

The 1983-84 season marked Grove City’s final as a Division III independent. Grove City went 15-11 in that final season before embarking on a new challenge: the Presidents’ Athletic Conference.

Gone from the schedule in 1984-85 were state schools Edinboro, Clarion and Slippery Rock. Instead, the Wolverines would play teams such as Washington & Jefferson, Carnegie Mellon and Hiram twice yearly.

Following a 7-15 overall mark in their first season in the PAC, the Wolverines followed with three consecutive 11-11 seasons. In that span, Deron Ryan (1984-88) became the 13th 1,000-point scorer in College history with 1,205 points.

Grove City became the dominant team of the Presidents’ Athletic Conference in the late 1980s as the Wolverines captured three consecutive PAC titles. The 198889 team won Grove City’s first PAC crown and finished with a 20-6 mark, the second-most wins in school history.

Led by senior Joe Buckley, who finished his career with 1,413 points, Grove City again advanced to the NCAA Championship Tournament.

The Wolverines fell to Washington (Md.) in the regional semifinals but recovered for a 74-60 win over Susquehanna in the third place game.

Grove City again won conference titles in 1989-90 (14-12) and 1990-91 (17-7). Tim Mokma became the sixth 1,000-point scorer in the Barr era, finishing with 1,197 points at the conclusion of the 1990-91 year.

Although the Wolverines were unable to maintain their hold on the Presidents’ Athletic Conference title, the postseason berths continued in the mid-1990s. Grove City captured bids to the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Tournament in 1993-94, 1994-95 and 199596.

Grove City also produced a pair of 1,000-point scorers in 1994.

PROGRAM HISTORY

The 2002-2003 PAC Championship Team His first team used an iron-clad defense to win the program’s fourth PAC title.

Grove City had just one double-digit scorer and no player average more than 12 points per game in 199899. But the Wolverines held opponents to just 60 points per game and limited the opposition to just 36.3 percent shooting from the floor, an all-divisions NCAA record.

The Wolverines finished 16-9 and advanced to the ECAC Southern Championship Tournament. Grove City went 7-1 in conference play to earn the championship.

Grove City followed a 17-win season in 2001-02 by racing out to a 6-0 start in 2002-03. The Wolverines ultimately captured the PAC title and hosted Neumann College in an ECAC quarterfinal game.

It marked the first-ever home playoff game for Grove City, which finished the season 18-9.

Grove City secured its fourth straight winning season in 2003-04 as Prosser became the program’s 20th 1,000-point scorer. He finished his career in fifth place on Grove City’s all-time list with 1,263 points and tops in assists with 367 for his career.

Forward Ryan Eller became the program’s 21st 1,000-point scorer in 2004-05 as the Wolverines earned their fifth straight winning season.

In 2007, Grove City captured perhaps its most improbable PAC title as the Wolverines won the conference tournament after entering as the No. 4 seed.

Grove City whipped Waynesburg and Westminster in the first two rounds of the tournament, then earned the title with a 60-58 victory at third-seeded W&J. In 2008, Shawn Carr set a new career record with 207 three-point goals. He also surpassed the 1,000-point mark. Grove City finished 17-11 overall and advanced to the ECAC Southern Championship Tournament.

Grove City captured its third straight ECAC berth in 2008-09 after jumping out to a 5-1 start. Guard Ryan Gibson concluded his career as Grove City’s 17th all-time leading scorer with 1,079 points.

The Wolverines returned to the NCAA Championship Tournament in 2010 as Grove City captured the conference title with a 78-61 home win over Thomas More.

PROGRAM HISTORY

Grove City finished the season 19-9 overall. Center Andy O’Keefe became Grove City’s 24th all-time 1,000-point scorer and graduated as the program’s alltime leader in field goal percentage.

He also earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, joining Joe Burns (1977), Dirk Vandermeer (1977), Fox (1978), Donahoe (1979), Smith (1983) and Curt Siverling (1984, 1985) as the program’s Academic All-Americans.

Brett Matson became the program’s 25th 1,000-point scorer during the 2011-12 season, finishing with 1,108 points. Lamie earned his 200th win February 9, 2013 when Grove City downed Geneva on Hall of Fame Day, 80-77.

In 2014-15, Mitch Marmelstein concluded his career as the No. 4 all-time scorer at Grove City with 1,383 points.

ABOUT GROVE CITY COLLEGE

ABOUT

The beautifully landscaped campus of Grove City College stretches over 150 acres and includes 28 neo-Gothic buildings. It is considered one of the loveliest in the nation.

While the College has changed to meet the needs of the society it serves, its basic philosophy has remained unchanged since its founding in 1876. It is a Christian, liberal arts institution, dedicated to the principle of providing the highest quality education at the lowest possible cost.

Wishing to remain truly independent and to retain its distinctive qualities as a private school governed by private citizens (trustees), it is one of few colleges in the country that does not accept federal funds.

Affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), but not narrowly denominational, the College believes that to be well-educated a student should be exposed to the central ideas of the Judeo-Christian tradition.

Grove City College offers undergraduate degrees in liberal arts, sciences, engineering, business, and music and is distinguished as a national leader in education.

Grove City’s programs in electrical and mechanical engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission Board of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

The “big business school curriculum” prepares students for today’s global business reality. An extensive variety of internship opportunities are provided across the curriculum.

Grove City College wants its students to be prepared in this age of mobile information technology.

Each entering freshman receives a tablet computer which is his or hers to keep upon graduation with a four-year degree. This is part of the Information Technology Initiative, a total program integrating technology across the curriculum.

PROGRAMS AND MAJORS

Grove City College’s Breen Student Union

The College believes that its student body has a unique mix of talents and abilities.

Its Career Services program helps students identify those key assets during the first year and then builds a four-year strategy to help them pursue a satisfying career.

Personal counseling, professional speakers, databases, alumni contacts, summer internships, corporate visits, employer presentations and more are incorporated into the career preparation experience.

Grove City follows the semester calendar plan, in addition to offering two-week sessions in January and May. Most of the 2,500 students live in separate men’s and women’s dormitories. The rest are local commuters or married students.

A full program of cultural, professional, athletic and social activities is offered, including 19 intercollegiate varsity athletic teams.

Grove City, a town of 8,100 people, is located 60 miles north of Pittsburgh. It is located near Interstates 79 and 80 and has a municipal airport.

The College also installed lights and resurfaced the 8-lane track around the field.

Grove City also reconfigured its setup for track meets during these renovations.

In 2011, the College installed a new stateof-the-art scoreboard and new bleachers on the visitors’ side at Thorn Field.

These upgrades benefit the entire campus community as the complex is used by both the College’s club sports teams and its intramural program, along with the varsity teams.

The track is also available for use by recreational walkers and joggers. The complex also features 10 all-weather tennis courts next to the stadium.

Phillips Field House, located at the north end of the complex, features several locker rooms, an athletic training room, meeting rooms and coaches’ offices.

It is used by the football, track and tennis programs throughout the academic year.

The Physical Learning Center (PLC) houses the Grove City College Arena, home to the College’s basketball and volleyball programs.

In summer 2012, the College renovated the Arena by installing new lighting and a new playing floor.
