2009-10 Lady Lion Basketball Yearbook

New Look Lady Lions Set Their Sights High For The 2009-10 Campaign With the return of first team All-Big Ten selection Tyra Grant and the addition of the 14th-ranked recruiting class by ESPN/Hoopgurlz, it is not surprising that there are high expectations for this upcoming season in the Lady Lion locker room. Despite losing their starting backcourt to graduation, the Lady Lions hope that their mix of veteran leadership and confident young players will lead them back to Big Ten prominence. “We are going to be a young team,” head coach Coquese Washington said. “When you graduate your starting backcourt, you are going to be young at the guard spot and we will have some growing pains there. I am hopeful that, as we get into conference play, we will have more confidence and we will have more depth and strength inside to be able to compete effectively in conference play and be a challenger for the Big Ten title.” Grant is the most highly-touted returnee for Washington and the Lady Lions. The senior became the 10th player in school history to garner first team AllBig Ten honors last season as she finished second in the conference and 18th in the country in scoring at a 19.6 per game clip. Grant, who was one of 30 semifinalists for the Naismith National Player of the Year Award, became just the 14th junior in school history to reach the 1,000-point mark when she accomplished the feat against Florida State. The senior guard will have a chance to become the fourth player in school history to reach 2,000 tallies as she enters her final season needing 553 points to reach the milestone. “Tyra’s an incredible talent, one of the best players in the Big Ten,” Washington said. “When she is on her game, really, nobody can stop her. We are looking for her to follow her outstanding junior season with an even better senior campaign.” Also returning to join Grant on the perimeter are seniors Meggan Quinn and Nicole Arcidiacono and sophomores Zhaque Gray, Renee Womack and Emily Phillips. Quinn was a solid contributor for the Lady Lions last season, accounting for 2.8 points and 12 assists before tearing the ACL in her left knee in February. Quinn tallied personal marks for field goal percentage (.328), three-point field goal percentage (.250), blocks (2) and steals (5) a year ago. “Meggan is an outstanding shooter and with the graduation of Mashea (Williams) and Bri (O’Rourke), she will be expected to step up and have a bigger role on our team this year,” Washington said. “She will provide us with definite leadership and steadiness in the backcourt.” Arcidiacono is the team’s vocal leader. Last season, the senior made five appearances, accounting for two points, three assists and a rebound. “Nicole is a great leader for us,” Washington said. “She is a great energy player and does all of the little things that a coach wants, in terms of hustle

and continued improvement from the start of the season. She’s just a coach’s dream.” Gray proved to be a viable outside threat as a freshman, scoring 83 points to go along with 11 assists and 11 steals. The sophomore finished third on the team with 15 three-pointers and reached double digits in the scoring column three times. “This could be a breakout year for Zha Zha,” Washington said. “She is definitely going to be more comfortable as a sophomore. She showed last year that she can put the ball in the hole. She has the ability to put points up in a hurry; she can knock down a three and she can get to the basket. With more confidence, I think she is going to have a fantastic season this year.” In her rookie campaign, Womack was a tough defender and rebounder for the Lady Lions. The sophomore grabbed 55 rebounds, including 30 off of the offensive glass, last season. She was a defensive spark off the bench as she tallied 14 steals in 25 games. “I am very excited about Renee’s improvements over the spring and summer,” Washington said. “She really worked on the offensive part of her game and has a lot of confidence now in her ability to make plays for us offensively. She is a great athlete, runs the floor well and rebounds well from the guard spot. She is looking forward to the challenge of being a defensive stopper for us on the perimeter.” Phillips spent much of her freshman season studying behind point guard Brianne O’Rourke. Phillips was fifth on the team with 22 assists in 20 appearances. The sophomore also notched 10 steals and tallied 11 points last year. “Our high-energy player, Emily, is a defensive dynamo on the perimeter,” Washington said. “When she gets in the game, she impacts the tempo of the game with her speed and does a great job of finding open people with her passing ability. This year, with added confidence and just being comfortable being on this level, we will see more of her skills play out on the floor.” Splitting time between the wing and the post will be junior Julia Trogele and senior Meredith Monroe. Both proved to be assets to spreading the floor for the Lady Lions last season and have improved their game heading into the 2009-10 campaign. Trogele avoided the sophomore slump with a career season as she led the team and finished 12th in the Big Ten with a 6.3 rebounding average. The junior notched a pair of double-doubles and had four double-digit rebounding efforts last season. She was also among the conference leaders with a .433 field goal percentage. Trogele, who spent the summer playing for the U20 German National Team, was fourth on the squad in scoring (7.6) and steals (33) a year ago.

“With her improved confidence from a second summer playing with the German National Team, Julia will have a huge impact on our team this year,” Washington said. “She is one of the most versatile players on our team. She can play inside or outside, she can shoot the ball, handle the ball and she is an excellent rebounder. I believe she is one of the toughest match-ups on our team because of her versatility.” Monroe was the team’s Co-Most Improved Player for the second year in a row after averaging 2.2 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, both of which were personal bests. The senior also notched a career-best nine steals last year. “Meredith was one of our most improved players last year,” Washington said. “She has a very good outside shot and will be able to stretch the defense and help with our high-low game with her shooting ability and her improved passing skills.” The lone returnee at the center position is Janessa Wolff. The junior finished ninth in the Big Ten in blocked shots (1.2), which was also 20th on PSU’s single-season charts. She enters her junior year with 52 blocks, which is 17th on Penn State’s career rejections. Wolff was solid in the post for the Lady Lions last season, averaging 6.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. “Janessa is a very intelligent player, which helps her to be very effective on the court,” Washington said. “She is a fighter down in the post and plays very tough and gets the tough rebounds. She is also expanding her game and with her increased range, she too will help spread the floor and allow us to have a pretty effective high-low game.” The highly-anticipated recruiting class consists of guards Alex Bentley and Gizelle Studevent and post players Nikki Greene and Marisa Wolfe. The class is considered to be a Top 20 recruiting class by all major recruiting outlets. “One thing I am really excited about, in regards to our incoming freshmen class, is that they all bring a winning attitude,” Washington said. “Alex’s team went undefeated and won an Indiana State Championship and Nikki, Gizelle and Marisa all combined for some of the best seasons in each We are...Penn State - One in 9 Pennsylvanians with a college degree is a PSU grad

of their school’s history and won a lot of games.” Bentley led Ben Davis to a perfect 33-0 record, the Indiana State Championship and a No. 1 national ranking in all major high school polls. She averaged 15.7 points, 2.6 assists, 2.2 steals and 3.2 rebounds per game as a senior. Bentley, a third team Parade Magazine All-American, left Ben Davis in the Top 5 in career points (1,550), threepointers (123), steals (254) and field goals (601). “Alex definitely has a winning mentality,” Washington said. “She is competitive and fiery. She is a leader and as a point guard, she will be a leader on the floor.” Studevent is a sharp-shooter that led The Bishop’s School to a 30-3 record and the San Diego City Championship in her senior season. She was selected as the 2009 California Division IV Player of the Year after averaging 18.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. She finished her career with 1,725 points and tied the National High School record with seven three-pointers in a state playoff game against St. Mary’s in 2008. “Gizelle is an extremely hard worker and is a very confident outside shooter, but she can also put the ball on the floor,” Washington said. “Her competitiveness and work ethic are going to impact this team.” Greene was a WBCA All-America and SLAM! Magazine All-America selection in her senior season at Diboll High School. She led Diboll to a 35-2 record and the 18-AAA District Championship. Greene, who was invited to the USA Basketball Trials for the U19 World Championship squad in May, was the 18-AAA District MVP and the 3AAA Player of the Year last year. “Nikki is an extremely athletic post and her potential is off the charts,” Washington said. “She will give us the size and athleticism in the post that will help us compete against the teams in our conference and will give us some depth in the post. I am just excited to see her potential and her improvement throughout this season.”

and 10.6 rebounds per game as she led Ford City to a Section 1-AA Championship. She was the Leader Times Player of the Year in 2009 and the Valley News Dispatch Player of the Year in 2008. Wolfe finished her high school career with 1,542 points and 885 rebounds. “Marisa will be a very skilled forward for us,” Washington said. “She is tough as nails. She’s not afraid to dive on the floor. She is not afraid to get in there and battle for rebounds.” The Lady Lions also added transfer Mia Nickson from Boston College in the off-season. However, Nickson will sit out the 2009-10 season due to NCAA transfer rules. At BC, she averaged 1.6 points and 2.0 rebounds in her freshman year. “Mia is going to bring more muscle to the post,” Washington said. “She is a very aggressive defender and she will make our practices more competitive for our post players. She will prepare our players for the ‘fours’ that we see in our conference.” The Lady Lions will face a solid schedule again this season with 11 teams that made the NCAA Tournament or WNIT. Penn State faces a tough non-conference schedule to help it prepare for the ever-competitive Big Ten Conference schedule. The Lady Lions will travel to SEC foe South Carolina and host intrastate rival Pitt and the ACC’s Georgia Tech. “Once again we have some tough non-conference competition that we will face,” Washington said. “We go to South Carolina, which had an outstanding recruiting class and brought in the No. 2 player in the country. We have our continued rivalry with Pitt, which is always a tough game for us, and then playing Georgia Tech in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge will be another competitive matchup. As always, we have some games that should prepare us for Big Ten play. “ “The Big Ten Conference, as we saw last year, is truly one of the most competitive conferences from top to bottom in the country and that showed in how well conference teams did in postseason play, both the NCAA Tournament and WNIT.”

Wolfe averaged a double-double with 18.2 points

Coquese Washington, who helped lead Notre Dame to the 2001 NCAA Championship, was introduced as the fifth head coach of the Penn State women’s basketball program on April 23, 2007. Washington is the first female African-American head coach in Penn State history. “I could not have dreamed of a better place to begin my head coaching career than here at Penn State. The passion that I have seen for Penn State and for Lady Lion Basketball has been off the charts. The support for this program from an administrative perspective, from a fan perspective and from a community perspective, you just don’t find that everywhere. It is really something special and those are the things that drew me here. As I experience more and more everyday, I am just blown away by how strong the love is for Penn State and Lady Lion Basketball.”

In May 2009, Washington’s protégés Grant and Greene were invited to the USA Basketball Trials for the World University Game and U19 World Championships, respectively. In her first season at the helm, Washington and the Lady Lions picked up two nationally-televised wins on ESPN and CBS, downed two nationally-ranked foes and took home the 25th regular-season tournament crown in program history.

In Washington’s second season, the Lady Lions moved up three positions in the Big Ten standings, finishing in a tie for seventh place. Under Washington’s guidance this past season, Tyra Grant became the 10th different player in school history to earn first team All-Big Ten honors. Grant was also a semifinalist for the Naismith Player of the Year award. Additionally, Brianne O’Rourke closed out her career with All-Big Ten honorable mention accolades and left Penn State as one of just six players in school history with 1,000 points and 500 assists.

The Coquese Washington era started in style as the Lady Lions won their first three games of the season, including a win over #20/21 Pittsburgh, to claim the WBCA Classic title. Just three weeks later, Washington guided the Lady Lions to their first ever win over perennial contender and 10th-ranked Duke in the inaugural Big Ten/ACC Challenge, a game that was televised on ESPN2. The Lady Lions also appeared on CBS, earning a road win over Michigan State to kickoff the New Year.

Washington’s second recruiting class was rated in the Top 20 by many publications, peaking at No. 10 by “Blue Star Basketball.” The four-player class features a pair of All-Americans in Nikki Greene and Alex Bentley, as well as All-State performers Gizelle Studevent and Marisa Wolfe.

Additionally, Washington was tabbed the “Rising Star” in the coaching ranks in a vote of the members of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) during the 2007-08 campaign. Washington was also instrumental in helping Kam

Washington is first on UND’s alltime steals per game list (2.7), second in career steals (307), fifth in assists (554), 10th in three-pointers made (82) and 10th in minutes per game (27.6). The epitome of a student-athlete, Washington graduated from Notre Dame in 1992, a full year ahead of schedule, with a bachelor’s degree in history. She went on to attain “Double Domer” status in 1997 after earning her Juris Doctorate from the Notre Dame Law School. Washington juggled finishing her law degree with the start of her professional basketball career. She returned to the hardwood as a professional in 1997-98, playing for the ABL’s Portland Power before spending a two-year stint with the WNBA’s New York Liberty (1998-99). Washington moved to Houston for the 2000 season, where she played an instrumental role in leading the Comets to the WNBA title. She had a solid season in 2001 with the Comets and Hall of Fame coach Van Chancellor, finishing ninth in the WNBA in assists and fourth in steals as Houston earned its fifth consecutive playoff berth. Washington started the 2002 campaign with Houston before being traded to the Indiana Fever at the midway point of the season. Washington guided the Fever to their first-ever playoff berth and became the first player in WNBA history to lead three different teams to the postseason. She finished her professional career in 2003 as a member of the Fever. “The experience of playing in the WNBA is one that is just like a dream come true, to be able to play in that league and to say that I did it is

something that I will always remember. I really enjoyed the opportunity to play with the world’s best players. When you start looking at some of the greatest players to ever play women’s basketball, I got a chance to play with them and against them.” Utilizing her law degree, Washington was a central figure in helping create the WNBA Players Association (WNBPA), serving as the founding president of the WNBPA from 1999 until 2001. She also served as the Executive Vice President of the WNBPA from 2001 until her retirement in 2003. Washington led negotiations for the association's first collective bargaining agreement as the association’s president, and as the executive vice president was a mainstay in the negotiations for the league’s second collective bargaining agreement, which brought about the first free agency system in women’s professional sports. In addition to assisting with the efforts of the WBCA Pink Zone at Penn State to raise money and awareness for breast cancer, Washington created Coquese’s Drive for the Women’s Resource Center. The first Coquese’s Drive raised $5,400 for the Centre County Women’s Resource Center to aid in the fight against domestic violence. Washington is currently serving on the 29-member WBCA Board of Directors and is a member of the USA Basketball Women’s Junior National Team Committee. A native of Flint, Mich., Washington and her husband, Raynell Brown, have a son, Quenton (4), and a daughter, Rhaiyna (born July 23, 2009). They reside in Port Matilda, Pa.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT COQUESE “Coquese is a very gifted young woman and the fact that she has taken her personality and teaching skills to Penn State is phenomenal. [Penn State] couldn’t have hired a better woman for the job. She relates to young people, but is still old school in a positive way because she knows what it takes to get to the next level. Not only Penn State, but also college basketball as a whole, is lucky to have her. She is going to affect the game more than she ever thought she could. I expect Penn State to get back to their storied history in short order.” Nancy Lieberman CBS and ESPN women’s basketball analyst Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame member “Coquese was a big part of our tradition of success here at Notre Dame. Having played for us, she understands our system and knows what we're trying to accomplish. The success she has had in developing our guards is well-known, including numerous All-Americans, All-BIG EAST selections and two Frances Pomeroy Naismith winners. Penn State has a bright future with Coquese as its head coach and we all look forward to following their progress in the coming years.” Muffet McGraw Notre Dame head coach "Coquese is an exciting coach who is an outstanding recruiter with an excellent background and clear understanding of the game. She demonstrates great leadership and care for the game and is a exceptional role model for her community." Joanne P. McCallie Duke head coach

"Coquese Washington is a great fit for Penn State. She has a bubbly, enthusiastic personality that will really appeal to recruits. The Penn State community will just love her. I have no doubt in my mind that she will do a great job." Van Chancellor LSU women’s basketball head coach Houston Comets head coach (1997-06) Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame member “I coined the phrase ‘Penn State-Point Guard U,’ so it is fitting their leader would be a former point guard. Coquese Washington was the point guard, captain and court manager on every level in the game. Coach Washington possesses the tools for success: she works the recruiting circuit with vigor and energy, makes game adjustments and helps her players develop skills to become the best players and people they can become. She has Penn State on the fast track towards championships.” Debbie Antonelli CBS and ESPN women’s basketball analyst "When I was a WNBA teammate of Coquese Washington, it was obvious that she was going to be a successful coach one day. Her work ethic, knowledge of the game, and rapport with teammates were unmatched. She is exactly the type of person we need teaching young women the game of basketball." Rebecca Lobo Former WNBA Player (1997-03) Women’s basketball television analyst

“Coquese has a great deal of knowledge and experience for the game of basketball. However, her strength lies in the love, passion and respect she has for the game. I have every confidence she will do a fantastic job at Penn State University.” Cynthia Cooper-Dyke Prairie View A&M head coach Former WNBA Player (1997-00) Phoenix Mercury head coach (2001-02) "Coquese not only has great knowledge of the game and championship experience as a player (WNBA-Houston) but what makes her unique is how she is able to impart that knowledge and motivate the players that she works with." Ruth Riley Notre Dame player (1997-01) 2001 Naismith National Player of the Year Member of WNBA’s San Antonio Silver Stars "Coach Quese's impact can already be seen at Penn State. We are all focused on the same academic and athletic goals and believe in what she is doing for this program. She has committed every hour that she can to our team and its success. I believe she will continue to do great things here." Penn State senior forward Meredith Monroe

NITTANY LION MASCOT

BLUE & WHITE

Penn State’s athletic symbol, chosen by the student body in 1906, is the mountain lion which once roamed central Pennsylvania. H.D. “Joe” Mason, a member of the Class of 1907, conducted a one-man campaign to choose a school mascot after seeing the Princeton tiger on a trip with the Penn State baseball team to that New Jersey campus. A student publication sponsored the campaign to select a mascot and Penn State is believed to be the first college to adopt the lion as a mascot. Since Penn State is located in the Nittany Valley at the foot of Mount Nittany, the lion was designated as a Nittany Lion. In regional folklore, Nittany (or Nita-Nee) was a valorous Indian princess in whose honor the Great Spirit caused Mount Nittany to be formed. A later namesake, daughter of chief O-Ko-Cho, who lived near the mouth of Penn’s Creek, fell in love with Malachi Boyer, a trader. The tearful maiden and her lost lover became legend and her name was given to the stately mountain.

Penn State’s student-athletes are instantly identified by their blue and white uniforms — but those weren’t the original school colors. A three-member committee representing the sophomore, junior and senior classes was appointed in October of 1887 to develop color options from which the student body would select the school’s official colors. Dark pink and black was the unanimous choice of the student body after considering the color combinations presented by the committee. Soon, many students and members of the baseball team were sporting pink and black striped blazers and caps. However, problems arose when the pink faded to white after several weeks of exposure to the sun. The students then opted for blue, rather than black, and white. The official announcement of the new choice was made on March 18, 1890.

PENN STATE ALMA MATER For the glory of Old State For her founders strong and great, For the future that we wait, Raise the song, raise the song.

NITTANY LION SHRINE Penn State’s Nittany Lion shrine was dedicated on Oct. 24, 1942, during Homecoming Weekend. Animal sculptor Heinz Warneke and stonecutter Joseph Garatti molded a 13-ton block of Indiana limestone into the most recognizable symbol of Penn State. The shrine was chosen from six models submitted by Warneke. The shrine is a gift of the Class of 1940 and rests in a natural setting of trees near Recreation Building. The site was chosen because of its accessibility, the surrounding trees and the fact that the sculpture would not be dwarfed by nearby buildings.

Sing our love and loyalty Sing our hopes that bright and free Rest, O Mother dear, with thee, All with thee, all with thee. When we stood at childhood’s gate, Shapeless in the hands of fate, Thou didst mold us, dear old State Dear old State, dear old State.

Grant, who earned weekly honors for the second time in her career (Dec. 17, 2007), shared the award with Ohio State’s Jantel Lavender. GREAT PERFORMANCE GRANT-ED: Tyra Grant scored 32 of Penn State’s 58 points and drained the game-winning jumper at the buzzer to single-handedly lift Penn State to a 58-56 comefrom-behind win over Wisconsin on Jan. 22.

Grant has been a consistent scoring threat for the Lady Lions, leading the team in scoring each of her three seasons in Happy Valley. TRIPLE THE DOUBLE-DOUBLE FUN: The Lady Lions had three players post double-doubles in the 76-61 win over Coppin State on Nov. 29.

IN THIS SECTION 106.....................................Big Ten Conference 107-109 ..................Penn State vs. the Big Ten 110..Big Ten Conference Composite Schedule 111 .........................................Big Ten Network

BIG TEN CONFERENCE The Big Ten Conference is a union of 11 world-class academic institutions who share a common mission of research, graduate, professional and undergraduate teaching and public service. The conference’s 100-plus years of history, strong tradition of competitive intercollegiate athletic programs, vast and passionate alumni base, and consistent leadership in innovations position the Big Ten and its entire community firmly on the Big Stage. The Big Ten has sustained a comprehensive set of shared practices and policies that enforce the priority of academics and emphasize the values of integrity, fairness and competitiveness in all aspects of its student-athletes’ lives, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that each individual has the opportunity to live a Big Life. STUDENT-ATHLETE OPPORTUNITIES Big Ten universities provide approximately $100 million in direct financial aid to more than 8,500 men and women student-athletes who compete for 25 championships, 12 for men and 13 for women. Conference institutions sponsor broad-based athletic programs with more than 270 teams. Other than the Ivy League, the Big Ten has the most broad-based athletic programs in the United States. TOP ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS Big Ten universities are members of the nation’s only conference whose constituency is entirely composed of institutions that are members of the AAU, a prestigious association of major academic and research institutions in the United States and Canada. MORE TELEVISION EXPOSURE The Big Ten’s media agreements with CBS Sports, ABC/ESPN, the Big Ten Network and CBS College Sports Network provide the conference with its greatest television exposure ever. In 2006, the Big Ten created the first national conferenceowned television network devoted to the athletic and academic programs of a single conference. The Big Ten Network launched on Aug. 30, 2007, and became the first new network in cable or satellite television history to reach 30 million homes in its first 30 days. The Big Ten Network is now available to more than 70 million homes nationally through agreements with more than 250 cable/satellite affiliates and appears in 23 of the top 25 national media markets. Since the current media agreements began in 2007-08, every home football and men’s basketball game has been produced while women’s basketball has received more

106

coverage than any other conference. The Big Ten’s new media agreements have resulted in the broadcast of more than 500 events nationally and regionally on an annual basis, compared to 300 events in the final year of the previous agreements. NATION’S BEST FANS Big Ten fans are some of the nation’s most supportive, with more than 8.7 million patrons attending conference home contests during the 2008-09 seasons for football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball alone. Over the last 31 seasons, the conference has ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 nationally in football, men’s basketball and wrestling attendance. For the past 17 seasons, women’s basketball has been ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 nationally in attendance. Big Ten institutions have more than 4.2 million living alumni and over 300,000 undergraduate students attending their universities. SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS During the 2008-09 season, the Big Ten claimed five team national championships, including titles for Iowa wrestling, Penn State fencing and women’s volleyball, Northwestern lacrosse and Wisconsin women’s ice hockey. In addition, Big Ten teams finished as the national runners-up in men’s basketball and men’s gymnastics. Big Ten teams have claimed at least three national titles in nine of the last 10 seasons (1999-00 through 2008-09). Over the last decade, the Big Ten has produced team national crowns in the sports of basketball, cross country, fencing, field hockey, football, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, synchronized swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.

conference by 1997 and 2000 was the first year that all institutions individually met this goal. As part of its commitment to gender equity, the Council of Presidents/Chancellors annually monitors this policy. During the 2007-08 year, all institutions were in compliance and the conference averaged a 52/48 male-to-female participation ratio. BUILDING THE FUTURE In 1989, the Big Ten created a community outreach program—SCORE (Success Comes Out of Reading Everyday), which partners the conference with two Chicago elementary schools to improve reading performances. What began with one school, two grade levels and five classrooms has grown in its 20th year to include grades kindergarten through eighth, encompassing all classes and students at Melody School and Louis Armstrong School. Following the national tragedy on Sept. 11, 2001, the Big Ten, through its intercollegiate athletic department revenues, pledged a $1 million scholarship contribution to assist the families of those affected by the terrorist attacks. The conference’s donation is called the “Big Ten 9-11 Scholarship Fund”, and the $1 million contribution will be drawn from conference reserves which are generated as a result of football and men’s basketball participation in NCAA, bowl and regular-season television opportunities. The Big Ten has established numerous community programs surrounding the Big Ten Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments, including the Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award Scholarship, the Big Ten Career Fair, the Hoops Day 5K and a partnership with the Pink Ribbon Connection, a local breast cancer organization.

2008-09 STANDINGS LEADERSHIP IN GENDER EQUITY Since 1992, the Big Ten has shown a strong commitment to increasing opportunities for women in sports and exposure of women’s athletics by establishing a multiphased gender equity program. In that time, the Big Ten has created in excess of 2,000 new opportunities for women student-athletes and established 28 new women’s teams, while expanding the number of women’s championships to 13 by adding field hockey, soccer and rowing. As part of the gender equity action plan, the Big Ten was the first conference to voluntarily adopt male/female participation goals for student-athletes in 1992. The Big Ten initiated a five-year plan for conference members to commit to a 60 percent/40 percent male-to-female studentathlete participation ratio. This was achieved as a

LADY LION FUN FACTS

The Lady Lions are one of 13 teams in NCAA Division I history with 750 wins. Former head coach Rene Portland ranks in the Top 10 on the NCAA’s all-time wins list (693) and in the Top 20 in career winning percentage (.723). The Lady Lions have three former WNBA players on their coaching staff: head coach Coquese Washington, assistant coaches Itoro Coleman and Maren Walseth. Suzie McConnell holds the NCAA record for career assists with 1,307. Kelly Mazzante has nearly half of the 30-point singlegame performances in Lady Lion history. Mazzante lays claim to 27 of the 56 30-point games in the Penn State record books. Suzie McConnell Serio was a 2008 Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame inductee. Kelly Mazzante won the WNBA Championship as a member of the Phoenix Mercury in 2007. Suzie McConnell Serio won an Olympic Gold Medal in 1988 and an Olympic Bronze Medal in 1992. The Lady Lions were the first team in the country to wear pink uniforms (Feb. 4, 2007) as part of the Pink Zone initiative in the fight against breast cancer. In 1991, the Lady Lions became the first team from the Northeast to stake claim to the No. 1 ranking in the Associated Press poll. Susan Robinson is the only Lady Lion to win the Wade Trophy as the best player in nation in 1992. Suzie McConnell and Helen Darling are Penn State’s Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award winners for the nation’s best player under 5-8. Adrienne Squire holds the NCAA record for free throw percentage in a season with a 96.4% (80-83) mark during the 2005-06 season. As part of the “Point Guard U” tradition, four Lady Lions (Brianne O’Rourke, Jess Strom, Helen Darling, Tina Nicholson) have combined to lead the Big Ten in assists nine times since joining the league in 1992-93.

ASSOCIATED PRESS POLL FACTS

Penn State has been ranked in the final Associated Press poll 20 times. Penn State has been ranked in the Top 10 in the final AP poll 11 times. Penn State has been ranked No. 1 in the national polls five times (Jan. 7, March 4, 1991; Jan. 24, 31 and Feb. 7, 1994).

POLL HISTORY

The Associated Press poll was launched by Mel Greenberg of the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1976-77. In 1989-90, the AP weekly coaches’ poll expanded from 20 to 25 teams. USA Today poll began selecting its Top 25 teams after the 1986 NCAA Championship game. Prior to the 1994-95 season, the coaches voting panels switched affiliation. The USA Today poll became the coaches’ weekly poll, while the AP poll is now decided by the media.

BRYCE JORDAN CENTER

The 15,261-seat Bryce Jordan Center rocks during the basketball season and throughout the year with concerts and events. The Lady Lions practice, eat, complete strength and conditioning workouts and play basketball in the BJC. The Basketball Offices, as well as those of the athletics department administration are in the Jordan Center. The Jordan Center was completed in 1996 at a cost of $55 million. The Lady Lions christened their current home court on January 20, 1996 against SEC foe Georgia. Penn State lays claim to three undefeated home seasons at the Bryce Jordan Center. The Lady Lions are consistently ranked in the Top 15 in NCAA Division I in attendance. The Lady Lions sold out the Bryce Jordan Center twice during the 2003-04 campaign against Michigan (Feb. 15) and Purdue (Feb. 29). The Lady Lions set a single-season attendance record in 200304 with 128,255 fans through the turnstiles. The Lady Lions had a 24-game winning streak at the Bryce Jordan Center from Feb. 14, 2002 until Dec. 14, 2003. During the 2008-09 campaign, the Lady Lions broke the school record with 16 consecutive non-conference wins at the BJC. The streak dated back to the 2005-06 season.

Among the performers who have graced the Jordan Center stage are Akon, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood, Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews Band, Aerosmith, Janet Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Shania Twain, John Mayer, Garth Brooks, Metallica, Phish, Elton John, Billy Joel, Usher, Nelly, Bon Jovi, 50 Cent, Cher and Tina Turner.

HOME COURT HISTORY: FROM THE WHITE BUILDING TO THE BJC The White Building (1965-76) The Penn State women’s basketball team played home games during its first 11 seasons in the North Gym of White Building. Standing-room-only crowds were not unusual in the early 1970s, especially when Penn State hosted intrastate rivals Edinboro, Cheyney or Pittsburgh. Rec Hall (1976-96) Recreation Building, affectionately called Rec Hall, opened to the public on January 5, 1929, when the Nittany Lions defeated Gettysburg, 37-34, in men’s basketball action. Penn State’s first women’s basketball games at Rec Hall were in the 1976 AIAW Tournament. The Lady Lions made their Rec Hall debut on March 24, 1976, against eventual national champion Delta State. In 1977, PSU played five games in Rec Hall, including tournament games against powerful Texas and Ohio State. The 1979-80 season marked the permanent move to Rec Hall for the Lady Lions. On March 12, 1982, Penn State hosted the first-ever NCAA Division I women’s basketball postseason game. The Lady Lions defeated Clemson, despite Lady Tiger Barbara Kennedy’s Rec Hall record 43-point effort. The all-time Rec Hall attendance record of 7,264 came on Feb. 6, 1994, in the “Pack the Track” sellout of No. 1 Penn State versus No. 8 Iowa. The Lady Lions claimed the 63-61 victory that was televised nationally on ESPN2.

Penn State posted a perfect 28-0 mark in Rec Hall against Big Ten opponents as a member of the Conference. The Lady Lions are 44-1 all-time against Big Ten opponents at Rec Hall. The Lady Lions recorded five undefeated home campaigns while playing at Rec Hall.

Bryce Jordan Center (1996-present) The Lady Lions moved to the Bryce Jordan Center in January 1996. The Lady Lions are 152-37 (.804) all-time at the Bryce Jordan Center. The Lady Lions christened their current home court on January 20, 1996 against SEC foe Georgia. The Lady Lions sold out the Bryce Jordan Center twice during the 2003-04 campaign against Michigan (Feb. 15) and Purdue (Feb. 29). The Lady Lions welcomed their one millionth fan through the turnstiles during the 2006-07 season. The Jordan Center was completed in 1996 at a cost of $55 million.

The “Pack the Track” game was the first-ever national broadcast of a women’s basketball contest from Rec Hall. The Lady Lions were 203-34 (.857) in 20 seasons playing at Rec Hall.

State College: The Ultimate College Town

Considering the beauty of Penn State’s campus and surrounding area, there is little wonder why the home of Penn State is affectionately called “Happy Valley.” State College is the hub of the Centre Region, which is the geographic center of Pennsylvania. The population of the Centre Region, including students is more than 120,000. State College was selected the nation’s “Best College Football Town” in voting by readers of sportingnews.com in 2000. Expanding University Park Airport has regular daily flights to Philadelphia, Detroit and Washington, D.C. There are more than 67,000 commercial and charter operations annually at the nearby facility. State College was ranked the No. 2 safest city in the nation among 344 metropolitan areas in a 2007 survey. State College was ranked No. 23 on Forbes Magazine’s list of “Best Smaller Metros for Business” in a 2008 survey. Centre County consistently ranks first or second in the state with the lowest unemployment rate. The annual Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts draws more than 100,000 visitors to State College each July. The campus itself has a picture-postcard look, combining 1800s charm with modern advancement. Old Main anchors the campus with its commanding bell tower rising above the rest of the buildings. There are a myriad of activities available close to State College. Five golf courses lie close at hand. At nearby Tussey Mountain, there’s golf, go-carts and skiing as well as concerts year-round. Centre County’s unrivaled natural beauty is highlighted by six state parks, 660 miles of streams and scores of trails and forests covering fully two-thirds of the county’s 1,106 square miles. 2009-10 Lady Lion Basketball Yearbook

Penn State was chartered in 1855 as one of the nation’s first colleges of scientific agriculture. The institution was located in Centre County after James Irvin, a partner in the Centre Furnace iron works, agreed to donate 200 acres of farmland for a campus. Penn State admitted its first students in 1859. Founding President Evan Pugh hoped to expand the curriculum beyond agriculture to include other scientific studies and engineering. Pugh and similar visionaries in other states lobbied for Congressional passage of the Morrill Land-Grant Act in 1862. As part of the Morrill Land-Grant Act, the Pennsylvania legislature designated Penn State the Commonwealth’s sole land-grant institution in 1863. Penn State admitted its first female students in 1871. In 1882, newly appointed President George W. Atherton introduced engineering studies, and Penn State soon became one of the nation’s 10 largest undergraduate engineering schools, a distinction it still holds. Professor of English Fred Pattee was recruited to teach the nation’s first course in American literature, heretofore considered an unworthy stepchild of English literature. Professor of Agriculture Whitman Jordan won international recognition for soil and fertilizer research. Penn State graduated its first international student in 1890 and first African-American student in 1905. In the early 1900s, Penn State became the nation’s first college to offer correspondence courses in agriculture, and in 1912 helped launch a statewide system of county agents in agriculture and home economics. Today’s World Campus, with its “anywhere, anytime” learning, is descended from that strong outreach tradition. 190

2009-10 Lady Lion Basketball Yearbook

In the 1930s, Penn State created a state-wide system of undergraduate centers for students who, because of Depression-era economics, could not afford to leave their hometowns to get a college education. The centers offered the first year of baccalaureate studies and were the predecessors of today’s system of 19 undergraduate campuses spread across the Commonwealth. In 1953, the Pennsylvania State College became The Pennsylvania State University to show that research and graduate work had come of age. The University was among the first academic institutions anywhere to operate a nuclear reactor, build a large-scale electronic computer, and develop an electron microscope. In the 1960s, Penn State underwent tremendous expansion to meet the growing needs of the baby boom generation. Total enrollment at all campuses climbed to 40,000 by 1970. Annual research expenditures now exceed $717 million and are a major factor in why Penn State is the largest single nongovernmental contributor to Pennsylvania’s economy. The University generates about $8.5 billion in total economic impact each year. Today, as measured by the more than 100,000 applications for admissions it receives annually, Penn State is America’s most popular university. Enrollment is spread among 24 campuses statewide: University Park campus, the research and administrative hub; 19 primarily undergraduate campuses; Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center; the Pennsylvania College of Technology; the Dickinson School of Law; and the Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies. Since admitting its first students in 1859, Penn State has awarded some 630,000 degrees whose value is recognized worldwide. That value reflects an educational experience second to none in quality and richness. 2009-10 Lady Lion Basketball Yearbook

All 29 programs are funded at 100% scholarship levels. Penn State has won 64 National Team Championships in 14 sports, including winning the 2008 Women’s Volleyball Championship and the 2009 Fencing Championship.

Penn State has earned 49 regular season and 11 tournament titles in its initial 17 years in the Big Ten Conference. Penn State student-athletes have earned 102 Academic AllAmerica citations in the last 16 years and 145 overall, fourth-highest in the nation.

Penn State’s 253 Academic All-Big selections in 2008-09 were tied for the second-highest total in school history. Over the past 15 years, Penn State leads all Big Ten institutions with 3,312 academic all-conference honorees. The Nittany Lions have finished in Top 25 in all 16 years of the Learfield Sports Directors' Cup standings. PSU finished 19th in 2008-09 for their 14th Top 20 finished in 16 years.

2009-10 Lady Lion Basketball Yearbook

Penn State women’s basketball team proudly boasts seven position endowed scholarships and was the first of the school’s 29 sports to have endowed scholarships for all five of its starting positions. Helen “Choo” Chelius was a Penn State fan for more than 60 years. Her late husband Carl (’26) and son Carl (’73) are both PSU alumni. In 1999, she made an even stronger commitment to the program by endowing the first women’s basketball position at Penn State. Chelius established the scholarship for the point guard position. Adding to the Lady Lion tradition in 2000, John (‘56) and Joanne Spangler endowed the Lady Lions’ forward position, while Carl and Joyce Chelius endowed the shooting guard spot. In April 2001, then-Penn State women’s basketball coach Rene Portland and her husband, John Portland, committed $500,000 to the University to endow two undergraduate scholarships for student-athletes. One scholarship, a Lady Lion captain, is named in honor of the Portlands’ daughter, Christine M. Portland, who played on her mother’s team from 1995 to 1999 and was a captain of the 1998-99 team. The other scholarship, to support student-athletes who play the center position, is named in honor of Rene Portland’s late mother, Margaret “Granny” Muth. John and Ann Curley added to the number of endowed Lady Lion scholarships with the advent of their scholarship for a Lady Lion forward, while Nancy Dreibelbis endowed a scholarship for a Lady Lion point guard. To be eligible for scholarships, students must have outstanding academic records and be proficient in basketball. Scholarships are awarded for one academic year with the possibility of renewal in subsequent years. For scholarship endowment information, including position scholarships, please contact the Major Gifts Office at (814) 863-GIFT (4438).

TIMOTHY CURLEY Director of Athletics

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’ 15 full years as members of the Big Ten Conference, Penn State has captured 15 NCAA Championships, almost double the number of the next closest Big Ten institution. 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. A 1976 Penn State graduate, Curley’s dedicated and enthusiastic leadership has helped Penn State capture 19 Big Ten championships or tournament titles the past four years, the second-highest total in the conference. During the fall 2005 semester, Penn State won an unprecedented five Big Ten Championships — in field hockey, football, men’s soccer, women’s soccer and

women’s volleyball — becoming the first institution to win more than three titles in the fall season in the 110-year history of the Big Ten Conference. 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. To continue to give the coaching staff and studentathletes the resources to succeed academically and athletically, Curley is guiding the most ambitious fundraising and athletics facilities campaigns in the department’s history. More than $128 million was raised for Intercollegiate Athletics by June 2008 to surpass the Success With Honor Campaign goal of $100 million. The Athletics physical plant has improved substantially under Curley’s watch. A new softball facility, golf clubhouse, soccer practice fields and men’s and women’s basketball offices are among projects near completion or set for construction. 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 — owned by the Altoona Curve franchise. Curley played a significant role in developing the unique partnership with the Curve organization. The 5,406-seat stadium opened to rave reviews in June 2006. Also in 2006, a new student fitness center and expanded and renovated wrestling practice room, locker room and strength training facilities opened in Rec Hall. Curley also oversees the expansive intramural/club sport programs on the University Park campus, as well as the athletic and recreational programs at Penn State’s Commonwealth Campuses. He is a member of the NCAA Committee on Academic Performance (CAP) and on the Board of Directors of the Honda Collegiate Women Sports Awards. 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. In 2004, Curley was appointed to a special NCAA task force that reviewed Division I recruiting bylaws and to the

NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, a group which he chaired. He previously was a member of the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet and served as chair of the NCAA Postseason Bowl Certification SubCommittee. 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. He parked cars, sold game programs and served as a baseball batboy. The top assistant to Athletic Director Jim Tarman, Curley was named Director of Athletics on December 30, 1993, when Tarman retired after 35 years as a Penn State athletic administrator. 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 Nittany 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.
