Playing a tough schedule on a year-to-year basis is a given for Morett and it’s no different in 2009. e Penn State field hockey team has released its 2009 schedule which features games against eight NCAA Tournament teams from 2008, including National Champion Maryland and National Semifinalist Iowa. e Nittany Lions will play 18 regular season games, eight at home, eight on the road, and two neutral site games. e squad is looking to defend its Big Ten One position greatly affected by the new rule is the backfield.

23rd Season at Penn State 26th Overall

Penn State, 1979

e longest tenured coach in the Big Ten and the seventh longest tenured coach at a single school in Division I field hockey, Charlene Morett enters her 23rd season as head coach of the Nittany Lion field hockey program. Coming off a season in which she led the program to another NCAA Tournament berth, one year following its second appearance in the National Championship Game, Morett boasts a remarkable resume covering her time as leader of the Nittany Lions. Morett currently ranks fifth all-time in wins with 392 and is one of just eight Division I coaches to accumulate 300 wins. With eight more wins, she will become only the fifth field hockey coach in NCAA history to hit the 400-victory plateau. Morett has led the Nittany Lions to the NCAA Tournament in 20 out of her 22 years as head coach and has helped maintain Penn State’s distinction as the No. 2 ranked school in all-time NCAA Tournament appearances with 25. Last year, Morett led the Nittany Lions to the Big Ten Regular Season Title, their first conference championship since 2005 and fifth overall. e squad was eventually awarded an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament where it fell to a tough Princeton squad, 2-0. Morett was named Big Ten Coach of the Year for the fourth time and first since 2005. In 2007, Morett led Penn State through a memorable run to its seventh NCAA Semifinal appearance in program history and was named the NFHCA Mideast Region Coach of the Year. e milestones have been endless for Morett as three years ago she became just the fifth coach in NCAA history to accumulate at least 350 career wins, and four years ago she won her 300th game at Penn State. A six-time Mideast Region Coach of the Year, Morett is an excellent teacher of field hockey. Her players earn national recognition on a yearly basis, 10 of whom have been named two-time First Team All-Americans

In fact, Penn State was ranked in the Top 10 of the STX/NFHCA poll for 32 consecutive weeks from the first poll of the 2005 season ending with the second poll of 2009. e 1999 squad achieved a No. 1 ranking in the STX/NFHCA poll for the first time in program history.

Head Coach Charlene Morett Under Morett’s tutelage, five of her players have been named Big Ten Athlete of the Year — Traci Anselmo, Jen Coletta, Heather Gorlaski, Tracey Larson and Kiley Kulina. Six players have been voted the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year — Natalie Berrena, Coletta, Dawn Lammey, Larson, Tara Maguire, and Allison Scola. Last year, Long was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year for a second consecutive season, becoming the league’s eighth Defensive Player of the Year from Penn State, joining Anselmo, Gorlaski, Becca Main, Jill Martz and Jill Pearsall. Long and Anselmo are the only Lions to be named Defensive Player of the Year twice. Since Penn State’s entry into the Big Ten in 1992, Morett’s program has produced more First Team All-Big Ten selections, more Big Ten Defensive Players of the Year, more Big Ten Athletes of the Year and more Big Ten Freshmen of the Year than any other program. Penn State’s eight Defensive Player of the Year honorees is four more than the schools with the next most. Additionally, Penn State has totaled 74 All-Big Ten selections since 1992, including 53 First Team All-Conference choices, the most of any Big Ten school since 1992. During Morett’s tenure, Penn State has produced 35 First-Team AllAmerica choices with at least one player earning the honor in each of the coach’s 22 seasons. Overall, Penn State has had at least one First Team AllAmerican in each of the last 24 years. In 2007, for the first time since 2002, Penn State had two First Team All-Americans in Long and Kiersten Wood.

Morett attended with them as the Chef de Mission for U.S. Field Hockey. Additionally, Long and Scola, along with All-America alum Larson helped the East team capture the U.S. Open Regional Championship in the summer of 2007. Current sophomore Jessica Longstreth and incoming freshman Laura Kassab have both been named members of the U.S. National Indoor Hockey Team as well. Scola is currently on the U.S. Development Squad after being named to the team in June of 2009. Morett’s teams have also produced a run of success in Big Ten games that is unparalleled since Penn State joined the conference in 1992. Since that time, the Nittany Lions own the most Big Ten regular season wins, the highest Big Ten regular season and tournament winning percentage, the second-most Big Ten Tournament wins and a tie for the most Big Ten Tournament titles. Morett has enjoyed plenty of recent success as well. In 2007, after defeating Virginia for the second time in the season with a win in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Penn State stunned second-ranked Maryland on the Terps’ home field to advance to the NCAA Semifinals. e Nittany Lions then came back to the same field five days later and knocked off thirdranked Wake Forest in the National Semifinals, the program’s first-ever win over the Demon Deacons, to advance to the National Championship Game. e memorable run included three wins over ACC teams for the shot to play for the national title. Despite the season ending with a loss to top-ranked and undefeated North Carolina in the title game, four Nittany Lions were named to the NFHCA All-America teams. One year earlier in 2006, Morett led the Nittany Lions to their first appearance in the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game since 2003. She also won her 350th career game with a 1-0 win over UConn on September 3, 2006. In 2005, the Nittany Lions won 17 consecutive games, a program record,

Head Coach Charlene Morett en route to a Big Ten regular season crown, their first conference crown since 1998. Berrena, a senior, was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and three other Nittany Lions were honored as All-Big Ten. Morett also won her 300th game as Penn State head coach, a 5-0 decision over Temple on September 14. She was named Mideast Region Coach of the Year for the fifth time in her career and also was recognized as the Big Ten Coach of the Year for the third time. In 2002, Morett guided the Nittany Lions to a memorable NCAA Tournament run. Penn State opened with back-to-back wins over Kent State and Princeton in the opening two rounds played at Penn State before defeating No. 1 ranked Old Dominion, 3-2, to advance to the NCAA National Championship Game for the first time in the program’s history. While Penn State dropped the title game, 2-0, to Wake Forest, the year went down as one of the greatest seasons in program history as four players were recognized with STX All-America honors and five earned All-Big Ten status. Morett led her 1993 team to the university’s first outright Big Ten Championship in any sport. e team won 15 straight games, a record at the time. e most notable upset was a 2-1 victory at Old Dominion which ended the Monarchs’ 66-game win streak. Since then, Morett has led her Lions to four more regular season titles and an unprecedented four straight Big Ten Tournament crowns from 1995 through 1998.

FIELD HOCKEY

A 1979 graduate of Penn State, Morett was an outstanding field hockey player and the program’s only three-time First Team All-American. Captain of the undefeated 1978 team, Morett was a phenomenal scorer, netting 50 goals in four years and was the first Lion to score five goals in a game. She held that record for 21 years. After leaving Penn State, Morett continued to play field hockey at the national level and in 1982, she was named the USFHA’s Co- Morett was a standout player for the Nittany Lions from 1975-78.

Unable to participate in the 1980 Moscow Games due to the U.S. boycott, Morett remained loyal and enthusiastic to the U.S. team, traveling all over the world in international competition in preparation for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, where she won a bronze medal. Morett was also awarded a Congressional Gold Medal as part of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team when the U.S. Congress officially awarded the medals more than 27 years after the boycotted games.

Beth Anders then tabbed Morett as her assistant in 1980 at Old Dominion, where she would stay for four years.

She immediately lifted the Eagle field hockey program into the Top 20 and won an Eastern College Athletic Conference title in her first year. When Penn State legend Gillian Rattray retired from coaching in 1987, Morett returned to her alma mater to take over for her mentor, inheriting a program with 17 straight winning seasons and five straight NCAA Tournament appearances. Morett has continued that winning tradition by leading 20 of her teams into the NCAA Tournament, including her first 14 straight, giving the Penn State program 19 straight NCAA appearances from 1982-2000. Morett has never had a losing season in her 22 years with the Nittany Lions and has had a winning record in 21 of her 22 years, with a .500 record in the other season. Under Morett and Rattray before her, Penn State had amassed 30 straight years with at least 10 or more wins, the longest such all-time streak in the country. Morett's 2002 and 2007 teams reached the National Championship Game, her 1990, 1991 and 1993 teams reached the NCAA Semifinals, and her 1988, 1992 and 1994 squads missed joining the Elite Foursome after one-goal losses in overtime. Her coaching accomplishments include five Big Ten Championships (1993, 1997, 1998, 2005, and 2008), four Big Ten Tournament titles (1995-1998) and two Atlantic 10 Conference championships (1989-1990).

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT COACH MORETT

“One of Char’s best assets is her heart. It represents how much she cares about her players. She develops more than a field hockey player; she develops people. Coaching against Char is not only challenging, but fun. It’s a challenge because Char’s teams are prepared; they bring emotion and a strong game plan. Char is a fierce competitor but it’s all about the game and that makes it fun.” Old Dominion Head Coach and the All-Time Winningest Coach in NCAA History Beth Anders “Playing field hockey at Penn State and having the guidance of Char better prepared me for life after hockey. She had a profound impact on me as a person. rough field hockey and the experiences around it, she taught me how to be accountable and how to find a balance between doing your job as a Penn State student-athlete well, while still being able to enjoy the other aspects of college life.” Former Penn State All-American Jamie Smith “e best decision I have ever made was the decision to attend Penn State and become a part of the field hockey team. I can't thank Char enough for giving me that opportunity. Char always knew how to push me to be my best. She has the ability to push her athletes to compete against each other at practice in the most positive and healthy way. We competed so fiercly at practice that competing in games came easy. As a Division I college coach, I have learned that this is one of the most important but, most difficult things to do.” Former All-American and current Sacred Heart Head Coach Christine Blais “Char gives unwavering support to her players that is motivated by a passion for the traditions of field hockey. As her athlete, I learned to win and to do so with unrelenting class and honor for the Blue and White. As a fellow coach now, Char has always been my biggest supporter and I cherish her opinion and guidance. I continually look to mirror her ways with my own program and hope she knows that imitation is the greatest form of flattery.” Former All-American and current Quinnipiac Head Coach Becca Main (Kohli)

2008 Season Review PENN STATE FOLLOWS NATIONAL FINALIST SEASON WITH BIG TEN REGULAR SEASON TITLE, NCAA BERTH • e Nittany Lion field hockey team followed its magical 2007 run to the NCAA Championship Game with an impressive showing in 2008 that included the program’s first Big Ten Title since 2005 and yet another NCAA Tournament appearance. It was Penn State’s 25th tournament appearance in program history, good for a second all-time, only trailing Old Dominion’s 27. • e season was highlighted by a nine game win streak dating from the start of Big Ten play against Ohio State on Sept. 28 all the way through the Oct. 26 home game vs. Michigan. e streak was snapped over one month after it began on Oct. 31 at Michigan State. • Penn State put together four wins against ranked foes: No. 8 Old Dominion (2-0), No. 16 Ohio State (1-0), No. 5 Iowa (2-1), and No. 10 Virginia (1-0). e Lions held the ODU Monarchs shotless in the dominant season-opening win. • e Lions controlled play in convincing wins against Georgetown (6-0), Temple (4-0), and Northwestern (4-0) as well. • e squad was upset by a resurgent Ohio State team in the Big Ten Tournament, but did receive an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament where it rematched with Princeton and fell by a 2-0 final to end its season.

pion (Maryland). In addition, the Nittany Lions faced Lock Haven, who reached the NCAA Play-In Game. STREAKS TO GREATNESS • e field hockey program has put together a number of impressive streaks both recently and looking back to its storied history. • Long winning streaks are common occurrences at Penn State; with its nine game streak in 2008, the field hockey squad has now put together streaks of nine games or more in three of the last four seasons (also 10 in 2006 and a school-record 17 in 2005). Ironically, the one season that it didn’t put together a streak of that magnitude was in the National Finalist season in 2007 when the longest win streak “only” reached five. • e Nittany Lions have picked up double-figures in wins in an incredible 31 consecutive seasons, a streak that is still alive. • Penn State field hockey has dominated state foes as it has won 29 consecutive games against teams from Pennsylvania. e Lions look to extend the streak this year as they face intrastate rivals Lock Haven, Lafayette, West Chester, and Bucknell. DOMINANT DEFENSE • e 2008 edition of the Penn State Nittany Lions proved to be one of the more dominant defensive teams in recent memory, and perhaps, program history. • e combination of goalkeepers Jen Beaumont and Ali Meves finished the season fourth nationally in goals against average (1.05) and second in shutouts per game (0.45). • Opponents only found the back of the cage 21 times on the season which is the fewest a Penn State team has allowed in 10 years (20 goals in 1999).

LIONS FACE TOUGH SCHEDULE • Penn State faced a ranked foe in 11 of its 20 games on the season (55 percent). In total, the team posted a 4-7 record in those games. • e Nittany Lions faced seven of the 15 other teams from the NCAA Tournament field, including Princeton twice. Penn State posted two wins amongst those teams, defeating Virginia and Iowa. e team also faced five of the eight National Quarterfinalists, two of the four National Semifinalists, and the eventual National ChamGoalie Jen Beaumont was interviewed by the Big Ten Network after last season’s huge Iowa win.

e team impressed on the field (left) and in the classroom (right) in 2008. Along with the Big Ten Championship, the Nittany Lions received the Penn State Highest GPA Academic Award.

2008 Season Review PSU IN THE POLLS • e Nittany Lions held steady in the polls each and every week last year, finding themselves anywhere from sixth to 14th. e squad concluded the season at No. 11. • at kept the streak alive of being ranked in every final STX/NFHCA National Top 20 Poll since the poll’s inception in 1998. FINAL RANKINGS: 1998 (6), 1999 (T-7), 2000 (9), 2001 (14), 2002 (6), 2003 (7), 2004 (20), 2005 (8), 2006 (6), 2007 (9), 2008 (11) GET OUT TO A LEAD, HOLD THEM IN THE SECOND • Penn State’s formula for success last season usually included a number of first half goals while clamping down defensively in the final 35 minutes for the win. • e Lions scored almost 66 percent of their goals (27 of 41) in the first half of games, while 13 came in the second half, and one in overtime. • e margin of difference in the first half was 15 (27-12) while the second was only five (13-8). • In fact, the team’s GAA in the second half proved to be less than one at 0.80 while the second half was 50 percent more at 1.20. HOME SWEET HOME • Penn State impressed at home, posting a 7-2 record while only giving up five goals all year at the friendly confines. • Not looking at the Princeton game, the Lion defense allowed only two goals in the other eight home contests (0.25/game). • e defense held its opponent scoreless in the final 223:34 at home and in the process shut out Virginia, Indiana, and Michigan. e squad looks to extend that scoreless streak early in 2009. • e team outscored its opponent by a whopping margin of 22-5 at home while holding a 19-16 scoring edge at road or neutral sites. • Penn State improves to 29-8 all-time at the new Penn State Field Hockey Complex, which opened in 2005. RACKING UP THE HARDWARE • Penn State racked up a fair share of postseason hardware for success on the field and in the classroom, highlighted by three All-American selections. • Jen Long was named NFHCA First Team All-American to extend the Nittany Lions’ streak to 24 straight seasons with at least one member on the first team. • e Nittany Lions also swept the end-of-year Big Ten awards as Charlene Morett was named Coach of the Year, Jen Long was named Defensive Player of the Year, Allison Scola was Co Offensive Player of the Year, and Jessica Longstreth was tabbed Freshman of the Year.

Jantine Steinmetz supplied the Spartans the eventual game-winning goal at the 69:34 mark as she tipped a scramble in front of the goal into the cage. Beaumont made four saves and earned her first conference loss of the season. Allison Scola scored her seventh goal of the season for the Nittany Lions After a first half that produced nothing on the scoreboard, Scola acquired a lead for Penn State when she carried the ball up the left side and shot the ball into the far right corner of the goal. Floor Rijpma, who had been held shotless, awoke the Spartan offense, tallying a goal off a penalty corner assisted by Gwen Riley and Joelle van Ierland.

#17 OHIO ST. 2, #10 PENN STATE 1 (OT) BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - No. 17 Ohio State scored a sudden-victory goal 1:47 into overtime as the Buckeyes eliminated the top-seeded Penn State field hockey team from the Big Ten Conference Championships. Daneen Zug scored the Nittany Lions' lone goal, and Allison Scola and Jen Long each added an assist for head coach Charlene Morett's squad. After applying pressure early in the extra period, Ohio State's Aisling McKeon scored the game-winning tally off a rebound. Linda Haussener, the Big Ten Conference's CoOffensive Player of the Year, fired a penalty-corner shot that got away from Penn State defenders after a Jen Beaumont save. McKeon gathered the ball and sent the fifth-seeded Buckeyes into the Big Ten Championship Game. At the 32:15 mark, the Buckeyes benefited from a penalty stroke call from the referees inside the circle. Haussener placed the ball into the top-right corner to provide Ohio State a one-goal lead heading into halftime. e Nittany Lions came out of the break clicking on all

cylinders, not allowing the Buckeyes to get the ball into their circle for the first 24 minutes of the half. Zug's goal, her tenth of the season, came off a penalty-corner opportunity generated by Scola's swift ball-handling skills at the 45-minute mark. Scola pushed it to Long, who set up a Zug shot that blazed past the Buckeye defense. Beaumont made six saves in the contest. She held off a barrage of Buckeye shots in the concluding minutes of the second half, making three kick saves in a two-minute span.

Game 20 • Nov. 15, 2008 NCAA TOURNAMENT

#9 PRINCETON 2, #11 PENN STATE 0 SYRACUSE, N.Y. - e No. 11 Penn State field hockey season had its season come to a close Saturday as No. 9 Princeton shut out the Nittany Lions, 2-0, in the first round of the NCAA Field Hockey Championships in Syracuse, N.Y. Penn State was plagued by inclement weather and an unrelenting Tiger defense, prohibiting it from producing a substantial scoring attack for the entirety of the contest. Katie Reinprecht captured both goals, and Princeton moves on to the quarterfinal round, in which it will play a Syracuse team that squeaked past Massachusetts, 3-2. JenBeaumontmade 11 saves in her final career start in goal. Princeton controlled the pace early in the game but was unable to get past Beaumont or Laura Cahill, who made a key defensive save on a Tigers penalty corner. Reinprecht sent the Ivy League champions ahead in the 21st minute. Her shot was blocked by Amy Bonenberger, but took a Tiger bounce off her stick and inside the far post. After more pressure from the steadfast Princeton offense, Beaumont kept the Nittany Lions in arm's reach of the Tigers, despite holding an 11-5 edge in shots and an 8-3 advantage in penalty-corner opportunities at the half. Penn State came out of the half with intensity not found in the first half, closing the shot margin to 11-10. Ten minutes into the second stanza, Reinprecht gave the Tigers an insurmountable lead. Reinprecht tipped a free hit by Holly McGarvie from just outside the circle over Beaumont's shoulder and into the net. Princeton held the Nittany Lions at play, prohibiting their chances after it insured itself a two-goal cushion. e Tigers completed the game with a 24-11 shot edge and a 14-7 edge in corners.

U.S. Teams/Olympic Athletes ree former Nittany Lions have competed in the Olympics. In 1980, Chris Larson (below right) and current Penn State Head Coach Charlene Morett (left) qualified for the Olympic Team that was set to compete in Moscow. e U.S. did not compete in those games due to the boycott, but Morett and Larson made the team again four years later in Los Angeles and won the bronze medal. at year, Brenda Stauffer (center) also competed for the United States, giving that squad three former Penn State players on its experience. Says Morett of her experience, “Penn State prepared me to play at the highest level. My goal is to prepare my current players for similar challenges.”

In addition to the three Olympians, Penn State also has a rich history of providing players for the main U.S. National Team as well as other national teams. Recently graduated All-Americans Jen Long and Allison Scola were the latest members as both were part of the U.S. Under-21 National Team. In July, Scola was also named to the U.S. Development Squad.

2007 National Finalist Team A LOOK BACK TO THE 2007 NATIONAL FINALIST TEAM NCAA FIRST ROUND, Nov. 10, 2007 PENN STATE 3, VIRGINIA 2

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - In the game featuring Penn State and Virginia on August 26 in the first weekend of the season, Virginia scored a first half goal and led 1-0 at halftime before Penn State rallied with three unanswered secondhalf goals for a 3-1 victory. In another matchup with the Cavaliers in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the game was very similar to the first meeting as Penn State overcame a 1-0 halftime deficit with three second half goals. e Nittany Lions held on for a narrow 3-2 victory at the Maryland Field Hockey and Lacrosse Complex. e win moved the Nittany Lions into the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year and for the second straight year they moved on to face the host Terrapins in the second round. Penn State's top three goal scorers led the way. Britney Long scored her teamleading 13th goal to tie the score early in the second half. Mallory Weisen scored her 10th goal to give the Nittany Lions the 2-1 lead while Shaun Banta netted her seventh to give the Nittany Lions what would prove to be a much-needed insurance goal.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Britney Long scored a first half goal in the 22nd minute and the Penn State defense played its best game of the year as Penn State stunned two-time defending national champion Maryland 1-0 on its home field in the NCAA Quarterfinals to advance to the NCAA Semifinal round. e Nittany Lions ended up returning to College Park for its seventh NCAA Semifinal in school history and its 10th all-time trip to a semifinal, counting the AIAW as well. Penn State converted on an opportunity at the 21:54 mark to take a 1-0 lead. e Lions were awarded a free hit from just outside the circle on the right side of the cage. Shaun Banta took the hit and sent a hard ball into the circle, where Long was waiting on the weak-side post to tip in the pass for her 14th goal of the year and her second of the NCAA Tournament. e Terps kept the ball on Penn State's side of the field for the vast majority of the final 10 minutes of the second half, but what shots they were able to get off were either saved by Beaumont or went wide. Beaumont made nine saves in an outstanding effort in the cage.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Mallory Weisen scored a first half goal in the 14th minute and Shaun Banta added a late goal with just over 10 minutes to play in the second half and the Penn State defense once again stifled one of the country's top ranked teams as the Nittany Lions knocked off No. 2 Wake Forest 2-0 in the National Semifinals, five days after knocking off third-ranked Maryland on the same field. With the win, Penn State moved on to its second NCAA Championship Game appearance in program history. In the 15th minute, Penn State was awarded the first penalty corner of the game. Weisen's shot went off the foot of a Wake Forest defender and deflected into the cage to give the Nittany Lions a 1-0 lead at the 14:03 mark. Jen Long and Allison Scola were credited with assists on the play. e Nittany Lions scored an insurance goal at the 59:28 mark as Banta did some nifty dribbling to free herself for a shot, which she finished unassisted to make it 2-0.

NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP, Nov. 18, 2007 NORTH CAROLNIA 3, PENN STATE 0

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - For the third straight NCAA Tournament game, the Penn State defense did an excellent job of limiting its opponent's scoring chances by cutting off passes and blocking shots against one of the seeded teams in the NCAA Tournament. In the first two games, the Nittany Lions were able to shut out their seeded opponent despite being outshot. In this game, however, despite another valiant effort, North Carolina took advantage of three of its scoring opportunities which proved to be the difference. e Tar Heels got on the board just 3:10 into the contest as some sharp passing led to an open shot and the goal. From just inside the top of the circle, the ball was passed by Jesse Gey to the left and Katelyn Falgowski one-timed a hard shot into the cage. A North Carolina shot that was redirected off the foot of a Penn State defender just over eight minutes into the second half made it 2-0. Penn State's best scoring chance came with just over 20 minutes remaining in the second half on a fast break. Britney Long sent the ball into the circle from the right side of the endline and it got all the way through to an open Bethany Marvel on the left side, but she was unable to get the shot off right away, and UNC keeper Brianna O'Donnell made the save. Danielle Forward scored the Tar Heels’ third goal at the 6:44 mark to conclude the scoring.

FIELD HOCKEY

Sept. 29, 1987.

200 WINS The Nittany Lions won the program’s 200th home game in its 36th season with a 1-0 upset victory over North Carolina on Sept. 5, 1999.

THE STREAK (5) Over portions of the 2001 and 2002 seasons the Nittany Lions put together a 12-game home winning streak, its longest since beginning play at Bigler Field in 1996.

SPRINGBOARD TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME The Nittany Lions used an 10-1 home mark in 2002, which included first and second round NCAA Tournament wins as a springboard to their first-ever NCAA Championship Game appearance in 2002. Penn State outscored its opponents 34-10 over nine home contests. AWESOME AT HOME In the first season on brand-new Penn State Field Hockey Complex (2005), the Nittany Lions compiled a 10-0 record en route to a school record tying (and most in a single-season) 17-game win streak, outscoring their opponents by a 39-7 mark. The Nittany Lions now have a four-year record of 29-8 at their new home.

DOMINANT HOME DEFENSE The 2008 defense held its opponent scoreless in the final 223:34 at home, and in the process shut out Virginia, Indiana, and Michigan. The squad looks to continue the shutout streak early in 2009. 6 vs. Bucknell (10/18/05) Goals in a Half 6 vs. West Chester (9/18/05) Assists 5 vs. Northwestern (9/30/07) 5 vs. West Chester (9/18/05) Points 17 vs. West Chester (9/18/05)

Athletic Director Tim Curley

Tim

CURLEY Athletic Director Penn State ‘76

Well into his second decade as the architect of the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics program, Tim Curley’s dynamic and passionate leadership has been the driving force behind the Nittany Lions’ tremendous level of athletic and academic achievement. Named Director of Athletics on December 30, 1993, Curley’s leadership has lifted Penn State among the nation’s premier athletic departments. During the Nittany Lions’ 16 full years as members of the Big Ten Conference, Penn State has captured 17 NCAA Championships, almost double the next closest Big Ten school. Curley has seen Nittany Lion squads win 56 Big Ten titles and numerous individual national and conference crowns during his 15-plus years directing Penn State’s comprehensive and nationally-respected athletic program. The Lions have won six NCAA Championships since March 2007. In the 2008 fall semester, the women’s volleyball team won an unprecedented sixth consecutive outright Big Ten Championship and captured its second consecutive NCAA title, earning a 38-0 record. The football team won its second conference title in the past four years and played in the 2009 Rose Bowl. The women’s soccer team won its 10th consecutive Big Ten Championship, the second-longest string of Big Ten women’s titles in any sport. The field hockey team also won the Big Ten title. In the spring of 2009, the fencing team won its ninth NCAA Championship under Curley’s watch and the women’s track and field team captured its second consecutive Big Ten Outdoor title. The Nittany Lion basketball team won its first National Invitation Tournament championship, posting a program-record 27 victories. Seventeen squads were represented in their respective NCAA Championships in 2008-09. An impressive eight teams finished in the Top 5 in 2007-08. Include the 56 All-Americans and 41 first-team All-Big Ten selections (48 total first-team all-conference honorees), a record student-athlete Graduation Success Rate of 89 percent and a record 11 Academic All-Americans and 2008-09 was another tremendous year of Success With Honor for the Nittany Lions. In June 2009, Curley again was recognized for his efforts in helping Penn State maintain its stature as one of the nation’s premier athletic programs with his selection as the Northeast Athletic Director-of-the-Year by NACDA. He was one of just four regional Division I-A honorees and previously earned the award in 2003. As he surveys the athletic program he has been instrumental in assembling over the past 33 years, Tim Curley can’t help but be proud of the athletic and academic accomplishments of Penn State’s 750 student-athletes in 29 varsity sports: During a visit to the University Park campus, NCAA President Myles Brand stated, “Penn State is the poster child for doing it right in college sports.” In the initial 16 years of the NACDA Directors’ Cup all-sports survey, Penn State has finished in the Top 25 every year, earning seven Top 10 finishes and four Top five placings. The Nittany Lions finished No. 9 in 2007-08 and No. 19 this past year. In the most recent comprehensive look at the 117 colleges and universities participating in Division I football and men’s basketball, U.S. News and World Report selected Penn State as one of 10 Division I-A institutions for its College Sports Honor Roll. Penn State has captured 17 NCAA Championships in men’s and women’s volleyball; men’s and women’s fencing and men’s gymnastics during Curley’s tenure. Nittany and Lady Lion teams have made 29 NCAA “Final Four” appearances during his tenure. Penn State also has established itself as a force in the highly competitive Big Ten — winning 60 regular-season or tournament titles in football, baseball, women’s basketball, field hockey,

men’s gymnastics, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field and women’s volleyball. The Lions have won 30 Big Ten titles over the past seven years, including a school-record six in 2005-06 and 2008-09. In October 2008, the NCAA reported that Penn State student-athletes earned a schoolrecord 89 percent Graduation Success Rate, 11 points higher than the national Division I-A average. Twenty-two of Penn State’s 25 teams compiled a GSR at or above the national average of 78 percent or higher (track and field and cross country count as one sport). During the 2008-09 academic year, 253 Penn State student-athletes received Academic AllBig Ten honors, tied for the second-highest in program history. Over the past 15 years, Penn State leads all Big Ten institutions with 3,312 academic all-conference honorees. There were a school-record 261 honorees in 2007-08. To continue to give the coaching staff and student-athletes the resources to succeed academically and athletically, Curley is guiding the most ambitious fund-raising and athletics facilities campaigns in the department’s history. More than $120 million was raised for Intercollegiate Athletics by June 2008 to surpass the Success With Honor Campaign goal of $100 million. The most recently completed capital project was a new baseball stadium — Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The Penn State baseball team shares the state-of-the-art facility with a short-season minor league team — the State College Spikes. Curley played a significant role in developing the unique partnership for the construction of the 5,406-seat stadium. The 12,500-seat expansion and renovation of Beaver Stadium was completed in 2001, raising the capacity to 107,282. The project included private suite and club level seating previously unavailable and the construction of the magnificent Penn State All-Sports Museum to house Penn State’s impressive collection of sports memorabilia. Other facility projects completed in the past decade include the Lasch Football Building, Ashenfelter Indoor Multi-Sport Facility and Sarni Tennis Center and renovations to the White Building, East Area Locker Room, Jeffrey Field and a new field hockey facility. Curley also oversees the expansive intramural/club sport programs — which included a fourth consecutive national championship in men’s ice hockey in 2003 and women’s rugby national titles in 2004 and 2009 — on the University Park campus, as well as general recreational activities. Curley served as president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) in 2005-06. He was the first Penn State Athletic Director to serve as president of NACDA, which is a professional and educational association for more than 6,100 athletic administrators at more than 1,600 institutions in the United States, Canada and Mexico. He was elected a NACDA officer in 2002. It is no exaggeration to say Tim Curley is someone who knows the Penn State athletic program from the ground up. A State College product, he grew up across the street from Old Beaver Field where some of his most memorable days as a youngster were spent there and in Rec Hall. Curley, 55, has been a full-time member of the athletic staff since he joined the department as a graduate assistant football coach. A product of State College Area High School where he played basketball and football for Jim Williams’ undefeated 1971 team, Curley walked on as a football player only to have his career cut short by injuries. After earning his bachelor’s degree in health and physical education in 1976, he served a year as a graduate assistant coach while pursuing his master’s degree in counselor education. Curley was named the Lions’ first full-time football recruiting coordinator in 1978 and was instrumental in identifying and recruiting a number of members of the 1982 national championship team. In 1981, he was named assistant to the athletic director where he was involved with the day-to-day operations of the department. Curley was active in the development of the Academic Support Center for Student-Athletes; the Penn State Sports Medicine Center; the Varsity “S” Club and the Football Letterman’s Club during his tenure as assistant to the athletic director. He also was instrumental in putting in place Penn State’s first NCAA compliance program and acted as the department’s compliance coordinator for five years before surrendering those responsibilities when he was named Associate Athletic Director in 1992. He is married to the former Melinda Harr of Washington, Pa., who earned degrees from Penn State in 1977 and 1986. The Curleys have two children — a daughter, Devon, and a son, Tanner. Curley was born on April 28, 1954.

“ We are very fortunate to have such an involved athletic director leading our university. He has tremendous integrity, vision and compassion. He truly is a studentathletes’ athletic director as he is so intuned with their progress both on and off the field. As former Penn State athlete himself, he truly recognizes the importance of having a well-balanced college experience. He always has their best interest in mind. If you just take a look at the outstanding facilities we have here on campus, Tim has done his best to ensure that each sport has what it needs to succeed.” Head Field Hockey Coach Charlene Morett

WHAT THE SENIORS ARE SAYING... “Playing field hockey for Penn State allows you to belong to something greater than yourself. It has been a challenge, but yet extremely rewarding. Representing Penn State University and competing at the highest competitive level are two aspects of this program that I will always value. I will remember the relationships I developed with my coaches and teammates and what it feels like to be a Division I athlete.”

“Being a part of this program brought mental and physical strength out of me that I never knew existed. This never would have been possible without teammates holding your rope every single day. These are the girls that will be my best friends forever.”

“It's awesome to be a part of such an amazing tradition. Although challenging at times, it's always great to have 25 of your best friends always there by your side. I've made memories here to last for a lifetime. ”

“To me, Penn State field hockey, most importantly, has meant tradition. It was about playing for the past, present, and future of the program. The quote ‘I play for those who came before me...’ was instilled in us to honor those who made the program what it is today.”

“I will most remember the support from the upperclassmen when I was a freshman, as well as the long-lasting friendships I have made over the years with my teammates. I will never forget the pride I have in stepping on the turf wearing a Penn State jersey.”
