2010 SEASON OUTLOOK

NITTANY LIONS WILL SEE GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE STRIVE FOR NINTH 30-WIN SEASON IN 12 YEARS On the precipice of a new season, 14th-year head coach Robin Petrini and her staff perpare for a turning point in Nittany Lion softball history. After earning at-large bids to the NCAA Tournament seven times from 2000-2007, Penn State has been left out of the Big Dance the past two years. In 2010, the Nittany Lions look to bounce back from an injury- and errorplagued 2009 season behind the strength of powerful pitching, excellent defense and an influx of new talent. PITCHERS One of the most important strengths to the Nittany Lion arsenal is its pitching behind seniors Jackie Hill, Kimi Wong, and sophomore Lisa Akamine. When healthy, Hill put together a fantastic junior campaign in the circle, winning a team-high 13 games with a 1.27 earned run average and careerbest 152 strikeouts. Hill missed a month of the 2009 season with a stress fracture to her rib, missing the beginning of the Big Ten season. After her return, the Nittany Lions went 7-6 in league play, including two wins by Hill at Iowa in her 2009 Big Ten debut, throwing 14 innings of one-run ball in her return from the stress fracture. Backing Hill up are Wong and Akamine who look to improve upon their seasons last year and provide Petrini with three options on the mound. Akamine took on most of the load when Hill went down mid-season, going 6-13 in 25 appearances, striking out 114 as a freshman. Wong also plugged the void during Hill’s injury with 11 appearances of her own as she continues to regain her form from solid freshman and sophomore campaigns.

ASHLEY GRIFFITH

CATCHERS Behind the plate will be starting catcher sophomore Danee Collett. A powerful bat in the lineup, Collett was tied for second on the team in doubles (six) last year while knocking out 28 hits and three homers. She was third on the team in slugging (.413) and showed her solid glovework with a team-leading .993 fielding percentage, committing just two errors in 43 starts. Collett’s capable understudy is Ellen McNair who sported a .258 batting average and an on base percentage of .361, second-best on the squad in 2009. McNair again will be relied upon to provide rest for Collett and flash her bat in pinch-hitting situations this year. INFIELDERS A relative unknown entering 2010 will be replacing the right-side of the infield after graduations to All-American Danielle Kinley at first and all-around player Kayce Zielinski at second. Early indications show that freshmen Kailyn Johnson will fill in at first, while Lauren Yao will go at second base. Both are highly touted high school standouts from California who had solid fall seasons for the Nittany Lions. On the left side of the infield problems aren’t as hard to come by as Desi Giordano returns with her powerful bat as well as sophomore Ashley Todd. Giordano saw the majority of the time at shortstop a season ago while pounding a team-leading seven homers, knocking home 19 runs and slugging .422. Todd saw most of her time late in the season at third, making 16 appearances overall in the field. Her experience from last year is an added bonus for Petrini and gives her added flexibility in the lineup this season. Newcomers Alyssa Renwick and Lauren Rossi along with sophomore Morgan Long provide sufficient depth in the infield this season and on the basepaths. Renwick looks to have the inside path at the shortstop position, shifting Giordano over to third this season after an impressive fall season. Rossi, a local product out of Yardley, Pa., will be a key reserve as the season goes on for the Nittany Lions as will Long. Assisting with the infield duties will be Hill who will moonlight at first base on non-pitching days. OUTFIELDERS Seniors Ashley Griffith and Danielle Noll, as well as junior Mary Ostman return to the fold as the main outfield contingent for the 2010 season. Griffith is Penn State’s best all-around player, residing in left field. She will continue to provide fantastic defense and great offensive numbers at the plate. Last season, Griffith was named to the All-Big Ten Second Team, leading the squad in batting average (.311) sacrifices (18), and finishing second on the team in on base percentage (.372). She was tied for first on the team with 41 hits and stole a team-high 13 bases. In center, freshman Cassidy Bell locked up her position with strong play in the fall season. Bell shifted into the leadoff hole in the lineup for the majority of the fall games, providing Petrini another option in the lineup that features speedsters in Griffith, Yao and Ostman. ere will be a battle for the starting spot in rightfield between Noll, Ostman and freshman Shannon Hutchinson. Noll and Ostman have been limited to pinch hitting and running roles during their Nittany Lion careers, but are poised to step into the everyday role this season, while Hutchinson is trying to get her foot in the door and secure the last remaining starting position on the team. Ostman saw the majority of the time in right field during the fall season.

2010 SEASON OUTLOOK

LISA AKAMINE

2009 All-Big Ten Third Team UTILITY PLAYERS Akamine headlines four players that will be used all over the diamond in 2010 after a stellar freshman campaign. Akamine was third on the team with a .286 batting average, gathering 40 hits and knocking home 17 runs in the 2009 season, earning All-Big Ten ird Team honors. A free-swinger and solid fielder, the sophomore out of Escondido, Calif. will be used in a myriad of ways, plying her trade in the lineup as a designated player and spot starts at shortstop and third base. Along with Akamine, Collett and McNair willl also fill in designated player slots on a game-to-game basis this season, while newcomer Rachel Myers also fills that role. A scrappy player out of nearby Millheim, Pa., Myers can play anywhere in the infield or outfield and is a threat on the base paths as well this season. SCHEDULE While Penn State went up against the toughest schedule in team history in 2009, the Nittany Lions have a much more manageable slate this season even though it includes the defending NCAA Champion (Washington) for the second straight year. Penn State hosts 14 games in presumably its final season at Nittany Lion Field. e home opener is March 24 against Central Pennsylvania rival Saint Francis. at game will serve as a tune up to the Big Ten opener against Minnesota, as a two-game series begins March 27 at Nittany Lion Field. After a pair of road games at Kent State (March 30) and two more at 2009 NCAA participant Purdue (Apr. 3-4), Penn State will host Pittsburgh on Apr. 6 at 3:00 p.m. Another two-game series away at Wisconsin (Apr. 10-11) is the final road trip before a four-game home stand against Big Ten rivals Michigan State (Apr. 14) and Illinois (Apr. 17-18). e Nittany Lions face a daunting task as they travel to Michigan Apr. 21 for a doubleheader. e Wolverines advanced to the Women's College World Series a year ago, losing to Georgia two round short of the Championship Series. Four more games at Nittany Lion Field will take place Apr. 24-27 when Penn State hosts Iowa, a 2009 NCAA Tournament team, that Saturday and Sunday before taking on Big East foe Syracuse for a doubleheader on Tuesday the 27th. 3

NFCA ALL-AMERICANS SINCE 2000

Two games away to 2009 NCAA Tournament participant Northwestern (May 1-2) take place before the finale home series of the year against Ohio State (May 8-9). OSU was a NCAA Super Regional participant last season, falling at Georgia. Penn State rounds out its Big Ten and regular season slate at Indiana on May 14-15. e challenging schedule will see Penn State take two western road swings to begin the year, the first of which is to the New Mexico State Invitational. e Nittany Lions will play five games in three days starting Feb. 12 against UTEP and Colorado State in Las Cruces, N.M. e following day PSU takes on host New Mexico State and Texas-San Antonio before rounding out the tournament on Feb. 14 with a game against 2009 NCAA Tournament participant Nebraska. e following week, the Lions will fly west again, this time to San Diego for the Campbell/Cartier Tournament hosted by San Diego State Feb. 19-21. First-day action sees Penn State go against Western Kentucky and UC Santa Barbara followed up by Utah State and hosts and 2009 NCAA Tournament team San Diego State on Feb. 20. Defending champion Washington cap the Lions' stay in California on the 21st. Penn State will travel to East Carolina Pirate Classic on Feb. 27 and 28 to take on Towson, Delaware, Morehead State and hosts East Carolina in Greenville, N.C. e Nittany Lions' spring break will be spent in Clearwater, Fla. when they play 12 games in 10 days at the USF Under Armour Showcase. In the first three days of competition (March 5-7), Penn State will face Central Michigan, Florida Gulf Coast, Ball State, Florida International and host South Florida. After a day off, Penn State returns to the diamond for a rematch with Central Michigan on March 9 and a game against Saint Joseph's a day later. After another off day, the Nittany Lions conclude their time in Florida with five games against Stony Brook, Toledo, Middle Tennessee State, Southern Illinois, and Kennesaw State over three days, finishing on March 14. e Nittany Lions will play 16 true road games with 22 additional neutral site games in 2010. In all, Penn State will face teams from 18 different NCAA Division I conferences and will play in all four continental U.S. time zones this season. THE FUTURE Construction on Penn State's new Beard Field is slated to begin this spring with the targeted completion date set for the start of the 2011 season. e new facility will feature indoor and outdoor batting cages, brand new athletic amenities such as clubhouses, in-ground dugouts, new coaches offices, locker rooms, training rooms and study space, while also featuring a new media/press box, concession stands, ticket offices and 1,000 permanent seats facing Mount Nittany. e facility will be named after William and Lee Beard, the main benefactors to the $10.2 million project.

PETRINI

Head Coach • 14th Year UTAH STATE ‘83

RECORD: 395-325-1

Fourteen years after arriving in Happy Valley, fans and foes alike know that Penn State head coach Robin Petrini has brought the Nittany Lions to a new level. Petrini’s vision of taking a below average Big Ten team and building it into a force that expects a run to the NCAA Tournament every year. In this decade alone, Petrini has guided the Nittany Lions to seven appearances in the NCAA Tournament, while closing in on 400 wins. With a quality coaching résumé, top-notch Division I playing credentials and unbridled ambition, Petrini and her staff have rebuilt a program that hadn’t been to an NCAA Tournament since 1985 when she took the 2000 Lion squad to the national tournament. “We’ve established a standard and our expectation is that we get to NCAAs every year. Now we’re looking to improve upon that,” stated Petrini. “We’ve been to the NCAAs seven times. It doesn’t get any easier to accomplish that goal, but now we want to take it to the next level. We want to get to the next round of the NCAAs and move forward with our expectations of this program.” Since taking over in 1997, Petrini has upgraded the program to become nationally competitive. She brought on board an excellent coaching staff with competitive experience at the collegiate ranks and upgraded the schedule to include nationally prominent teams year in and year out. In 1999, she led the Nittany Lions to their first 30-win season since 1988 and earned Big Ten CoCoach of the year en route to a Big Ten Tournament bid. Since then, Petrini’s teams have recorded eight more 30-win seasons, including 2006’s 39-17 NCAA Tournament campaign, which set the school record for wins in a season. One thing is for sure, Petrini’s teams continue to climb the ladder of success year after year and the potential for the Lions’ success is unlimited.

e Early Years at Penn State... After only two seasons rebuilding the program, Petrini and the Lions started to become a factor in the conference with the 2000 season. at year, Penn State recorded its first back-to-back 30-win seasons and broke the school record for wins, which it set in the previous year. A school-best eight Lions were named All-Big Ten, including four first team selections. Petrini not only guided Penn State to its second consecutive Big Ten Tournament appearance, but the team also participated in its first NCAA Tournament since 1985. Petrini’s teams have consistently rewritten the Lion record books since her arrival. In 2000, her squad broke four team records and eight individual records. Jaci Kalp graduated as Penn State’s most decorated pitcher in school history. Kalp left as the school’s career-victories leader and broke the season mark for strikeouts, now held by 2006 graduate Missy Beseres. 2001... e 2001 campaign saw the Lions post their third-straight 30-win season. at team went on to break eight Penn State marks, including the single-season marks for victories by a pitcher and doubles. Kelly McCann won 22 games that year, while Megan Humphrey broke an 11-year old record for doubles with 15. e Lions made their second-straight trip to both postseason tournaments (NCAA and Big Ten).

2002… Eight single-season Penn State records fell in 2002 as the Nittany Lions made their fourth-straight trip to the Big Ten Tournament and third consecutive NCAA Regional Tournament appearance. All-Great Lakes Region selection Jennifer Tripken’s 16 home runs broke an eight-year old Penn State mark as the team belted out 28 on the season, also a school record. She also tied the single-season RBI record set in 1988 while Gina Bianchini broke the season record for singles. is Penn State Postseason squad set or tied three Big Ten Tournament records. Big Ten Tournament Big Ten Tournament Big Ten & NCAA Tournaments Big Ten & NCAA Tournaments Big Ten & NCAA Tournaments NCAA Tournament Big Ten Tournament Big Ten & NCAA Tournaments Big Ten & NCAA Tournaments Big Ten & NCAA Tournaments 7 NCAA Appearances (8-12)

2003... A 31-23 record found the Lions in their fourth-straight NCAA Tournament, but a 9-9 conference record left Penn State just outside the Big Ten Tournament picture. On March 23 vs. James Madison, Petrini recorded her 200th career victory with a 3-0 shutout. Bianchini earned second team All-Great Lakes Region in her final campaign and finished as the team’s all-time leader for stolen bases.

NCAA APPEARANCES SINCE 2000


HEAD COACH ROBIN PETRINI 2004... Compiling a 25-33 season after a grueling schedule, Penn State made the Big Ten Tournament with an 8-12 record, but missed selection to the NCAA Tournament. e Lions placed three on the All-Big Ten teams with freshmen Jen Williams and Meghan Wolfer landing on the second team, while junior Leigh Murray earned third team honors.

1 50 100 150 200 250 300 350

2005... Penn State compiled its sixth 30-win season in the past seven when it finished the year 36-23, two wins shy of matching the then-program record for victories. e Lions made both Big Tens and NCAAs, winning a pair of games at the NCAA Region 5 Tournament. Freshman utility player Ashley Esparza exploded onto the scene, batting .402 for the year and earning NFCA third team AllAmerica. Redshirt-junior Missy Beseres broke the school’s single season strikeout mark by fanning a record 260 batters. A third team selection, she joined Esparza, who was named first team, on the All-Big Ten squad. Four Lions were named All-Region, with Esparza and classmate Hollee Haines garnering first team and freshman Jen Acunto and Beseres earning second team recognition. 2006... e 2006 season brough the Nittany Lions their highest win total in program history (39) and saw Penn State earn its sixth NCAA appearance in the past seven years. e Lions posted a 39-17 record, made their seventh Big Ten Tournament appearance, and won two games during the NCAA Tournament en route to the recordbreaking year. Sophomore Jen Reynolds was named first team All-Big Ten as a utility player and five Lions total received all-conference accolades. ree members of the Penn State team were also named to the 2006 Great Lakes All-Region team including sophomore utility player Ashley Esparza, who got a first-team nod for the second consecutive season. Red-shirt senior pitcher Missy Beseres and sophomore shortstop Jen Acunto repeated as second-team allregion selections. Beseres also became the first Nittany Lion drafted to the NPFL when she was selected in the fourth round by the Chicago Bandits. 2007... In a year wrought with injuries and what seemed like the curse of Mother Nature on the conference season, Penn State still rose to the occasion and earned a spot in both the Big Ten and NCAA Tournaments. Sophomore Danielle Kinley cemented her place in Nittany Lion history by becoming the third Penn Stater to earned All-America honors overall and the second in three years. e outfielder’s .375 at the plate and command of centerfield for the Nittany Lions grabbed her second team honors. Kinley and junior pitcher/first baseman Ashley Esparza earned All-Conference honors, with both landing on the third team. 2008... An increase in playing time allowed the Nittany Lions to gain more experience before heading into Big Ten play and helped them amass a 30-win season for the eighth time in the past 10 years. Once again, inclement weather canceled two crucial games and this time it caused Penn State to just miss the cut to the Big Ten Tournament. Despite the outcome, senior pitcher Ashley Esparza earned her third all-conference honor, and 10 Nittany Lions earned Academic All-Big Ten accolades.

Before Penn State Before Penn State, Petrini spent eight seasons at Northwestern University. Named associate head coach in 1995-96, Petrini served as an assistant coach for the Wildcats from 1988-95. e primary Northwestern recruiter, she was instrumental in assembling the 1997 class, regarded as one of the top-two in the nation. During Petrini's appointment, Northwestern produced 12 All-Big Ten selections, as well as an All-American and several GTE Academic All-Americans. e Wildcats compiled 30-win seasons in four of her last five years, and finished fourth or better in the conference race five times during her eight seasons. "I am a firm believer in the student-athlete concept," confided Petrini. "I am committed to making sure that our athletes are given the opportunity to be successful academically and athletically. I believe our athletes have the opportunity to get a quality education and play some of the finest softball in the country." She continues that excellence with her Penn State teams, as well. While in Happy Valley, she has produced 32 All-Big Ten performers, 84 academic all-conference, 15 GTE/Verizon Academic All-District honorees and multiple National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Americans as well as three First Team Academic All-Americans including current assistant coach Jen McIntyre. Prior to her position at Northwestern, Petrini spent five years at Brigham Young University, where she received her master's degree in physical education. After one season as the Cougars' assistant coach, she was promoted to head coach. Working without the aid of scholarships, she developed a nationally competitive program that beat a pair of top 20 teams in 1988. A native of South San Francisco, Calif., Petrini is a 1983 graduate of Utah State University with bachelor's degrees in political science and physical education. She enjoyed a successful playing career as a four-year letterwinner and starting shortstop for the Aggies' 1980 and 1981 national championship squads. A three-time all-conference selection, she was also an All-America nominee. In the summer of 2003, she was inducted into the San Mateo County Sports Hall of Fame, which also includes the likes of Tom Brady and John Madden.

2009... e Nittany Lions endured one of the toughest schedules in the program’s history, which included games against National Champion Washington, Women’s College World Series qualifier Michigan as well as Super Regional participants Ohio State, among others. Danielle Kinley, who once again earned All-Big Ten honors, led the team on the field, while the returning members set the team up for another run at the NCAA Tournament. 3

In addition to her extensive duties identifying Penn State’s next great talents, McIntyre also works with the outfield defense as well as with the Nittany Lion hitters. Her ability to break down the mechanics has allowed the Nittany Lions to improve exponentially in each area. In eight years with Penn State, McIntyre has become one of the top recruiters in the conference. Twenty-four of her recruits have been named to All-Big Ten teams since she joined the staff in 2001, while six have been named to all-region teams and three have become NFCA All-Americans. More recently, freshman Lisa Akamine was named to the First Team EA Sports High School All-America squad. She has played a pivotal role in the Nittany Lions’ success bringing in fantastic talent from all over the country, while honing the play of student-athletes once they are in Happy Valley. Prior to returning to her alma mater, McIntyre spent the 2000 and 2001 season at Big Ten foe Indiana as the second assistant coach. During her time in Bloomington, three players were named to the All-Big Ten team. A 1998 graduate of Penn State with a degree in kinesiology, McIntyre played her last two years under head coach Robin Petrini and was the starting third baseman from 1995-98. In 1997, she had a career year posting a .304 batting average over 53 games while leading the team in runs scored (29) and assists (138). A 1997 CoSIDA Verizon Academic All-America selection, she ranks sixth all-time with 42 career stolen bases. McIntyre is also a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection, was named team Most Valuable Player in 1997 and captain as a senior. "It is great to have Jen at Penn State," said Petrini. "Not only because she is a Penn Stater, but also because of her knowledge of the University and all it has to offer. She is a dynamic recruiter and an outstanding teacher on the field. Jen also has a tremendous repoire with our players and keeps a great pulse on the team and its needs." In May 2001, McIntyre earned her master’s degree in kinesiology/sports management and athletic administration at Indiana.

Michele Hawkins begins her second year as assistant coach for the Nittany Lion softball team. She works primarily with the pitching staff, guiding Jackie Hill, Lisa Akamine and Kimi Wong. Hawkins brings a wealth of Big Ten experience as a graduate of Northwestern where she earned All-Midwest Region twice and was an All-Big Ten selection from 1990-94. In addition, she appears multiple times throughout the Northwestern record book, most notably for wins and shutouts. She also contributed five no-hitters in her time as a Wildcat. “I am very excited to have Michele with our softball program," said Petrini at the time of Hawkins’ hire. "Her energy, knowledge, and passion for the game are contagious. Michele's experiences, both playing and coaching, will be a huge asset to our pitching staff. She has proven herself in the Big Ten and at the professional level and will serve as a tremendous role model for our student-athletes." After graduating with her degree in education and social policy, Hawkins joined the Michigan State staff as the pitching coach from 1994-97. Stacey Smith was her star hurler earning recognition on All-Big Ten and All-Great Lakes Region teams. From there, Hawkins went back to Chicago, this time as the head coach at the University of Chicago. In her three years she became the winningest coach in Maroons history and still has the highest winning percentage of .648. In addition, she had a Rhodes Scholar in Erin Bohula in 1999. Hawkins spent the next two years playing post-collegiate softball with the Georgia Pride (‘98) and the Durham Dragons (‘99). A highlight of her professional career was when she went on to play in the national tournament for the women’s major division of the ASA. Her team placed third in the country while she finished the tournament with an ERA of 0.00. For her efforts, she was named an ASA First Team All-American Following her time with the ASA, Hawkins worked for the International Softball Federation, and traveled overseas holding pitching clinics for national teams throughout Europe and the Carribbean. In 2006-07, she resumed coaching, this time at Emory University. In both her years with the Eagles, she was part of the NFCA Atlantic Region Coaching Staff of the Year, and helped the team to a fifth place finish in the NCAA Div. III Tournament. In addition, two of her pitchers went on to earn selection to the AllAtlantic Region team. In 1999, Hawkins earned her master’s degree in community and agency counseling from Michigan State. 7

The past decade has seen an unprecedented series of runs to the NCAA Tournament in Penn State softball history. Since 2000, the Nittany Lions have made seven appearances, all of which came in an eight-year span (2000-07). Four times in that span the Lions had the opportunity to reach the Super Regionals with a pair of wins in the Regional Finals, but fell short. Prior to 2000, the Lions reached the NCAA Tournament twice as a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference. In the second-ever NCAA Tournament, Penn State Lousiana Tech in a regional with the winner earning the right to play in the 1983 Women’s College World Series. The Lady Techsters swept the Lions, a similar fate Penn State would face against perennial power Adelphi in 1985, dropping a pair of 2-0 games. The Nittany Lions have posted back-to-back NCAA Tournament wins on three separate occasions–2001 vs. Cornell and Southern Miss; 2002 vs. Boston University and Princeton; 2006 vs. Long Island and at Hofstra. Head coach Robin Petrini has guided Penn State to seven NCAA Tournament appearances garnering a 10-14 record in the process.

STATE COLLEGE AREA Centre County is home to e Pennsylvania State University, one of the finest teaching and research institutions in the land. Penn State’s impact is great, from the touring Broadway shows that visit campus to two recent additions: the Penn State Research Park and the 15,261-seat Bryce Jordan Center. e ebb-and-flow of students and activity in State College creates a vital downtown that always is bustling, but this is especially so during home football weekends in the fall and the nationally-acclaimed Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts every July. Escape isn’t far away. Less than 20 minutes from campus are quiet towns and villages with charms of their very own, as well as mountains, lakes and roaring streams and brooks.

Located among mountains and valleys in the exact geographic center of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Centre County thrives on its ability to blend education with industry, technology, historic shopping districts and farming communities. e heart of the Centre Region is State College, a community featuring the best that life has to offer, in education, commerce, culture and recreation. is mixture of the cosmopolitan and pastoral works so well that to many the Centre Region is known as “Happy Valley." e region is frequently ranked near the top of the charts by Money magazine’s “Best Places To Live" and Rand McNally’s “Retirement Places Rated Guide." In the late 1980’s, Psychology Today called State College the least stressful place in the United States.
