NITTANY LION SOFTBALL PARK AND BEARD FIELD A facility years in the making, state-of-theart and second to none. That is what Nittany Lion Softball Park and Beard Field provide to the Penn State athletic community. With numerous donations and the Penn State’s Board of Trustees’ approval, construction of the $10.2 million complex was completed in time for the 2011 season. The facility houses the Nittany Lion softball team and allows the program to compete with the best in the country.
event marked the first time the Lions hosted NCAA softball in 28 years. Oregon, Fordham and Albany competed with Penn State for the right to go to the NCAA Super Regionals. In the three-day event, nearly 1,900 fans streamed through the turnstiles. Oregon would eventually be the team that would advance, but not before an exciting 16-inning midnight thriller between Penn State and Fordam. The Nittany Lions prevailed, 5-2, in the second-longest game in PSU history.
The complex, which broke ground on March 28, 2010, features 1,084 permanent seats with fantastic sight lines, handicap-accessible seating, concession stands, permanent bathrooms and merchandise areas for fans. On the softball side of things a brand new field with irrigation, dugouts, batting cages and tunnels, bullpens, scoreboard and a brand new lighting system make the new Nittany Lion Softball Park a collegiate softball gem.
As if the NCAA event wasn’t exciting enough, Penn State then hosted the PIAA Softball Championships. Four games in one day on a sparkling afternoon in mid-June had nearly 3,000 fans attend. The first game of the day featured local powerhouse PhilipsburgOsceola and Brandywine Heights with a standing-room only crowd of 1,600 spectators. The PIAA is committed to Penn State through the 2014 event as Nittany Lion Softball Park earned rave reviews.
The complex gives the team the ability to consolidate its resources into one area with new training rooms, media center, video room, study space, locker rooms and coaches’ offices all housed at the softball park. Additionally, a new press area behind home plate was constructed, which further enhanced the amenities inside the stadium.
Nittany Lion Softball Park is located adjacent to the old Nittany Lion Field near the East Area dorms, on the corner of Park Avenue and University Drive. The new field faces the Bryce Jordan Center, Mount Nittany and University Drive to the southeast, providing spectacular views and a gorgeous setting for all that attend softball games.
Key benefactors of the project allowed Nittany Lion Softball Park to take shape and get off the ground. The playing field was named Beard Field in recognition of a generous donation from Lee and William Beard in October 2009. The Penn State locker room was be named the Fran Vanden Locker Room, recognizing a gift from George and Frances Vanden. Another major donation came from the James M. and Margaret V. Stine Foundation to name both the Softball Office Complex and Media Center in honor of the Stine Family. Art and Paige Nagle also contributed to the project and had one of the assistant coaches’ offices don their names. Penn State’s first game in its new home was Mar. 26, 2011, a thrilling 8-5 victory over Wisconsin. Plenty of firsts were delivered that afternoon and none more memorable than Lisa Akamine’s inside-the-park home run as Penn State overcame a three-run deficit to win the inaugural game. For the season, Penn State boasted an 11-8-1 record on Beard Field in its first campaign. It was the first winning season at home since 2007 for the Nittany Lions, which coincided with PSU’s last trip to the NCAA Tournament before 2011. The stadium has already paid dividends for the Nittany Lion program as Penn State posted a 21-12-1 (.632) record during its first two seasons in its new home. PSU also hosted the 2011 NCAA Regionals and the 42 ALL-BIG TEN SELECTIONS SINCE 2000

“Bill and I are both very pleased to be a small part of this very impressive facility. For us, the decision to give to this facility, to this program, was easy because one of our big passions is certainly the students of this university, but in particular the softball program. Our passion to help the softball program is because we’ve watched this program grow. There are some common links to this group [of donors]: Fran and George [Vanden], the Stine Family, Peter and Ann Nagle, Bill and I all have in common a link in believing that this is a program that deserves the typical Penn State, first-class facility to be successful.” Lee Beard, Lead Benefactor
“Nittany Lion Softball park is one of the most beautiful facilities in the country. This great facility will certainly impact our recruiting efforts as it attracts some of the best talent in the country. We feel very blessed and are very excited to play on Beard Field. It is amazing to have such great support from the Beards.” Head Coach Amanda Lehotak

LEHOTAK Head Coach • Second Season NEBRASKA-OMAHA ‘03 RECORD AT PENN STATE: 14-35 (.286) CAREER RECORD: 202-241 (.456) Amanda Lehotak is in her second season as the Penn State softball head coach in 2015. In her inaugural season at the helm of the program in 2014, Lehotak led the Nittany Lions to a 14-35 overall record with a 5-18 Big Ten record, finishing a spot higher in the conference standings than the year prior. Four players batted over .300 with Lexi Knief earning All-Big Ten second team accolades. Lehotak’s team also achieved success in the classroom; nine players were named to the Academic All-Big Ten team and Alicia Walker garnered Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Award honors. Named the seventh coach in program history on July 22, 2013, Lehotak came to Penn State with seven years of head coaching experience under her belt, including the previous two seasons at Texas-San Antonio. Lehotak guided the Roadrunners to a 27-26 overall record in 2013 to give the program just their second winning overall record in the last seven years. She also led the team to a fifthplace finish and a berth in the WAC Tournament in UTSA’s first season in the conference. Additionally, Darian Blake was named to the All-WAC first team.
That season, Jacksonville won the Atlantic Sun regular-season and tournament titles on its way to the first NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. Lehotak was selected as the 2011 Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year as her squad set school records for home runs, earned run average, shutouts and fielding percentage. Lehotak left Jacksonville with a schoolrecord 137 wins. In 2010, Lehotak led the Dolphins to a then-second-best win total in program history with a 33-23 overall record. Additionally, a then-program-record five student-athletes earned All-Atlantic Sun recognition under her guidance in 2010. A native of Omaha, Neb., Lehotak played collegiately at the University of Mississippi for two seasons (2000-01) before finishing her career at Nebraska-Omaha (2002-03). She set the single-season hits record in 2001 at Ole Miss and was a third team All-American at UNO with a pair of first team All-North Central Conference selections. Lehotak earned her bachelor’s degree in family science from Nebraska-Omaha in 2003. LEHOTAK’S COLLEGIATE RÉSUMÉ Head Coach Penn State 2014- Present Texas-San Antonio 2012-13 Jacksonville 2007-11 2011 Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year
In her first season at UTSA, Lehotak and the Roadrunners posted a 24-28 overall record and 12-8 mark in Southland Conference play en route to a third-place finish, which was the program’s highest finish since 2009. She had five players earn All-Southland honors in 2012, including Freshman of the Year Megan Low.

Prior to UTSA, Gibson spent four seasons in the National Professional Fastpitch League (NPF). After leading Texas A&M to a runner-up finish at the 2008 Women’s College World Series (WCWS), she was selected by the Philadelphia Force with the No. 2 overall pick of the 2008 NPF Senior Draft.

Gibson is the only player in Big 12 Conference history to be named both Player and Pitcher of the Year as a senior and she went on to lead the Aggies to the conference tournament title as the event’s Most Valuable Player. She also led Texas A&M to a league crown in 2005 and a WCWS appearance in 2007. In all, Gibson owns six career school records, including doubles (48), home runs (56), RBIs (183), total bases (447), slugging percentage (.717) and walks (172). She also ranks in the program’s top 10 in seven other categories. In October of 2014, Gibson was inducted into Texas A&M’s Athletic Hall of Fame.

50 YEARS OF PENN STATE SOFTBALL A
half century ago a woman hailing from the Hoosier State helped field Penn State’s very first softball team. The squad played only four games during that 1965 season, going an even 2-2 with contests against in-state schools such as Elizabethtown, Lock Haven, West Chester and Wilson College. As its first head coach, Pat McTarnsey would guide the Nittany Lions for a total of 15 seasons, from the program’s infancy to its adolescence. Under her leadership, the school advanced to its first two post season appearances in 1975 and 1978 at the Pennsylvania and EAIAW (Eastern Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women) Tournaments. As the sport of college softball grew, so did the Penn State program. Following McTarnsey’s tenure as coach in 1980, Sue Rankin took over two years later at the start of the 1982 season. Under Rankin, the Lions would join the Atlantic 10 Conference and appear in their first ever NCAA Tournament, both feats accomplished during a 1983 season that saw PSU go 25-13 and win the A-10 Championship In its first three seasons competing in the Atlantic 10, Penn State amassed an 86-40 (.683) record to go along with a pair of conference titles as well as NCAA Tournament appearances. Rankin also brought the program to new heights, delivering Penn State its first 30 win season in 1985. She duplicated the feat again in 1988, equaling at that point what was the program record for victories in a season with 34. Rankin’s team would go on to win another A-10 championship in 1988 before becoming a member of the Big Ten starting in 1992, where she guided the program for its first four seasons in its new conference. Starting in 1997, a new era began in Happy Valley as Robin Petrini became Penn State’s sixth softball coach; it was an era that would last 17 seasons, longer than any one of her predecessors. During that time the Nittany Lions experienced an unprecedented amount of success, racking up 489 wins and earning eight trips to the NCAA Tournament, including seven in an eight year span. The NCAA postseason run began at the turn of the century as PSU made its first appearance in the national bracket in 15 years, going 38-19, with 12-5 conference mark and a trip to the NCAA Regionals. From 1999 to 2008, Petrini’s teams averaged a little more than 33 wins per season with the high water mark coming in 2006, when they won a school record 39 games. Under her leadership, Penn State amassed 30 or more victories in a season a total of nine times, including five straight from 1999-03 and competed in eight Big Ten Tournaments in nine seasons. The 2011 season was a special one for Penn State and its program as it moved into a brand new $10.2 million dollar home, called Beard Field at Nittany Lion Softball Park. Construction began in the midst of the 2010 season and a year later, the 1,084 seat facility opened its doors to fans, alumni and community members to enjoy. The Nittany Lions would ultimately be the ones enjoying the creature comforts of their new home, going an impressive 21-12-1 (.632) in their first two seasons and serving as hosts of NCAA Regionals in 2011. As one chapter in Penn State softball was just starting to be written, another one drew to a close. Following the 2013 season Petrini stepped down as head coach, opening the door for yet another era in program history to begin. That era took flight on July 22, 2013 when then, UTSA head coach Amanda Lehotak was named PSU’s seventh head coach. Lehotak, a native of Omaha, Neb., began finalizing a staff within weeks and by the beginning of 2014 was ready to see her new team take the field. During her first season in the Nittany Lion dugout, her squad posted series wins over Big Ten conference foes Indiana and Michigan State with a sweep of the Spartans in East Lansing. Another season highlight included an upset of No. 21 LSU on their home field during a tournament. As Lehotak and her staff prepare for their second season in Happy Valley, they also look toward the future, announcing the singing of six standout high school players to begin their Penn State careers in 2016. The incoming freshman class was ranked 17th nationally by Full Count Softball and features the 28th and 36th highest rated recruits in the country. No doubt a bright future awaits Lehotak and her team as they embark on the next half century of Nittany Lion fastpitch softball in University Park, Pa.

PENN STATE’S NCAA HISTORY The past 15 seasons have seen an unprecedented series of runs to the NCAA tournament in Penn State softball. The 2011 tournament represented the eighth bid in the past 14 years for the Nittany Lions and the 10th overall. From 2000 until 2007, the Nittany Lions made seven appearances. In 2005 and 2006, Penn State was a pair of wins away from reaching the Super Regionals, but fell to Texas A&M and Arizona State, respectively. Prior to 2000, the Lions reached the NCAA Tournament twice as a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference under former head coach Sue Rankin. The 2011 tournament was the first time PSU has hosted a regional since 1983 when Louisiana Tech visited Happy Valley for a trip to the College World Series. The ‘83 edition of the competition was just the second ever NCAA Tournament following the AIAW Championships, which former head coach Robin Petrini won twice at Utah State (1980-81). Ultimately, Penn State once again fell two wins short of a Super Regionals performance, but celebrated a successful season at home. Penn State advanced to the regional final after a grueling two-game elimination day featuring a 16-inning marathon victory over Fordham, 5-2. The Lady Techsters swept the Lions in 1983, a similar fate Penn State would face against perennial power Adelphi in 1985, dropping a pair of 2-0 games in New York. The Nittany Lions have posted backto-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. Petrini guided Penn State to eight NCAA Tournament appearances garnering a 12-20 record in the process. In 2011, PSU was one of three Big Ten schools to make NCAA Regionals, joining perennial powerhouse Michigan and Indiana.
