Coaches
Coaching Staff Craig Vlietstra re-joins the Laker coaching staff as the team’s top assistant coach. Vlietstra was on the GVSU coaching staff during the 2005 season when the Lakers won the program’s first national championship. Among other duties, Vlietstra will assist Scanlon in most aspects of the volleyball program, including planning practices, recruiting, coordinating summer camps, and breaking down film. One of his specialties on the court is training the team's setters. Vlietstra comes to GVSU after a two-year stint as the head coach of Judson University, an NAIA institution in Elgin, Ill. In his two years with the Eagles, Vlietstra owned a 20-49 record, had two all-league performers in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) and one NCCAA All-America honoree. Prior to his time at Judson, Vlietstra spent a year at GLIAC North Division rival Michigan Tech as the top assistant coach, helping MTU to its first NCAA Tournament berth in 10 years. This came a year after he was the second assistant coach with Scanlon and GVSU for the 2005 national championship season. During that season, Vlietstra trained the setters on a Laker team that went 32-6 and won both the GLIAC championship and the Great Lakes Regional tournament title. Before spending two seasons in NCAA Division II, Vlietstra was the head coach at Siena Heights, an NAIA school in Adrian, Mich., from 1999 to 2004.

2009 Preview VOLLEYBALL GVSU Looks to Continue Recent Success The acco ades for the Grand Va ey State vo eyba team cont nue to p e up, year after year, stacked on top of each other ke br cks bu d ng a brand new home. Tr ps to the NCAA D v s on II E te E ght, F na Four appearances, GLIAC and Reg ona Champ onsh ps, and 30-w n seasons. The 2005 D v s on II Nat ona Champ onsh p, a steady f ow of A -Amer cans, and a perfect record at home s nce Oct. 19, 2006. GVSU head coach Deanne Scan on wou dn t have t any other way. “I expect to w n every t me we step on the court,” remarked Scan on, enter ng her 15th season at the he m of the Laker program. “I get t cked off when we ose, regard ess of who we re p ayng. If we ose, I fee ke I haven t done my job, whether t s recru t ng, tra n ng, or prepar ng my p ayers.” Scan on enters the 2009 season w th a record of 387-102 at Grand Va ey State and a aundry st of accomp shments, nc ud ng numerous t t es, nd v dua honors, and p ayer acco ades for the tremendous ath etes she has been ab e to coach at GVSU. The truth of the matter s that Scan on knows noth ng but nf ated expectat ons and ncreased pressure after years and years of w nn ng. “I try to te the p ayers that t s just a game,” Scan on po nted out. “W th my matur ty, I try to ook at t ke that. But they know better and for them, there s a ot of pressure. I a ways te them that s why you chose Grand Va ey State and that s why you re here. We have a standard at GVSU where our program needs to be every year - and I understand that.” The graduat ng c ass of A -Amer cans Dan e e A exander and Jam e Ashmore, n add t on to Lauren Reber and Megan Wa ng, f n shed the r stor ed careers w th a record of 125-18 (.875) and were members of the program s f rst-ever Nat ona Champ onsh p. Rep ac ng that quartet w not be easy, but Scan on knows that t has to be done. “One of the b ggest th ngs s I don t ook at t ke we re os ng th s person or os ng that person,” noted Scan on. “We certa n y apprec ate what our former p ayers d d and how they he ped make the program successfu . But t s one of those s tuat ons where t s t me for them to move on and someone e se to step up, take the r spot, and eave beh nd the r own egacy.” Look ng to dup cate the success of the r predecessors s the sen or c ass of Katey Cr chton, Ka ty Gorm ey, Wh tney Trema n, and Mered th Young. Scan on knows she has a very good group of sen ors that a br ng d fferent th ngs to the program. “It s a very un que group, w th some return ng starters, and others that are push ng to start,” Scan on commented. “Everybody s ro e s d fferent and t s a versat e c ass. They a br ng a ot to the f oor, but there are not any a -conference returners n that group. A four g r s are very mportant to what we do and f they p ay the ro e they are ass gned, we have a chance to be very successfu .” “Wh tney has to be that one go-to p ayer for us that steps up n b g moments,” Scan on sa d. “Be ng a transfer ast year, t took her a wh e to get adjusted, but she rea y sett ed n at the end of the year. She was key n the GLIAC Tournament, the MVP of the Reg ona Tournament, and p ayed very we n our F na Four run. We ook to her to come back w th that same ntens ty.” “I th nk t says a ot that Katey Cr chton was unan mous y seected as a capta n by her teammates,” exp a ned Scan on of the on y p ayer eft from the 2005 Nat ona Champ onsh p team. Cr chton was a redsh rt freshman that season. “She has a ton of character and s our hardest work ng p ayer n the gym. Katey can re ate to anybody and she s earned the respect of her teammates. She may be ooked at as somewhat of a ro e p ayer, but she rea y s a s ent k er.” “Mered th has the best ba contro on the team and we re y on her to get the ba to our setters,” Scan on sa d of Young, who ed the GLIAC n 2008 w th 524 d gs. “We have to pass we to keep us n our offense and Mered th s p ay w be key to our success.”
“Ka ty Gorm ey has estab shed herse f as a strong eft-s de h tter, but she can rea y p ay a around,” Scan on descr bed. “She knows t s her t me now. Ka ty has started off and on dur ng her career, but I can te she has that sen or focus, and she wants to make sure she has her pos t on out on the court.” The jun or c ass s f ed w th p ayers who have contr buted at one po nt or another, to vary ng degrees. Scan on env s ons a ot of p ay ng t me com ng from th s group, ed by f rst team A -GLIAC performer Rebeccah Rap n and defens ve spec a st Jane e Beaudry. “Rebeccah was named as a capta n and the rest of the team s ook ng to her to ead them,” sa d Scan on. “She s had a great start to her career and we ook for her to cont nue where she eft off. Jane e cont nues to f ght for the bero pos t on and we re exc ted to see f she can make that jump, as we ca t. It takes a spec a ta ent to p ay n our system as a freshman or sophomore and the jump to the jun or year s pretty cruc a . We re ook ng forward to see ng how they dea w th that jump from sophomore to jun or year.” Jun ors Meghan Scan on, Krysta Kornack, and Les e Curt s are a so batt ng for p ay ng t me th s season. “Meghan has an edge n that she s been here for three years and knows the p ayers and what needs to be done,” Scan on po nted out. “She has pa d her dues beh nd Jam e Ashmore and now t s her opportun ty. Krysta has the ab ty to rea y contro the net and step forward cons stent y. We ke her he ght at the net and the way she defends when she gets up there. Les e has had some rea moments of greatness n our program. She s a so d eft-s de p ayer. We re ook ng to see her mature from her sophomore to junor year and see f she can become an a -conference p ayer.” W th n ne upperc assmen, the Lakers ba ance out th s year s squad w th 10 underc assmen (three sophomores and seven freshmen). It may be d ff cu t to crack the start ng neup or get much p ayng t me w th as much exper ence as GVSU owns, but Scan on po nts out a few p ayers who cou d do just that. “Sophomores Courtney McCotter and Ann Kendz cky are rea y n the r th rd year w th us, so they have some va uab e exper ence,” noted Scan on. “Courtney has been the best f t k d n the gym and we re nterested to see f she can make that jump. Both her and Ann have come a ong way and w compete for p ay ng t me.” “We have two freshmen who are push ng our starters for a spot n the start ng neup,” Scan on exp a ned. “O v a Koh er s k nd of our best opt on at setter and we can run our 6-2 w th two setters rotat ng on offense. She s a great ath ete and we understand that there s a earn ng curve, but we ook forward to see ng her adjust to the co ege game. A so, Ash ey B aszczak came to camp n great phys ca shape. She w def n te y compete as a true freshman and she phys ca y can do th ngs that other g r s can t do.” Th s s one of the ta est Laker teams n recent memory, as 15 of the 19 p ayers stand 5 10” or ta er. Scan on s exc ted about what th s means for the 2009 season. “Th s year, we are def n te y b g,” sa d Scan on. “When we won the nat ona champ onsh p n 2005, we ed the nat on n b ock ng. When you ook at the top notch D v s on I programs, net p ay s huge. If we can contro the net, we can funne our defense to where we re at, and that has worked we n the past. For whatever reason, we ve been ab e to recru t that s ze and ab ty to Grand Va ey State and we re very fortunate to get b g, so d, ath et c p ayers.” The Lakers open up the preseason as the favor te to repeat as GLIAC North D v s on champ ons, as we as be ng s otted #4 n the AVCA Preseason Coaches Po . GVSU w have to be on top of ts game ear y n the season, as the Lakers meet up w th #5 West Texas A&M n just the r second match of the year - on the Buffs home court n Canyon, Texas. Wh e n Texas, Grand Va ey State w a so face #19 Nova Southeastern and meet up w th #16 F or da Southern the fo ow ng weekend.

GVSU LAKER Lakers return to Final Four for Fifth time 2009 Review
There s a common say ng around ath et cs that the best teams do not re bu d, they s mp y re oad. Grand Va ey State c ear y be eves n that the ory, as the Lakers ost a pa r of A Amer cans and the three t me GLIAC L bero of the Year from a 2007 team that went 33 4 and advanced to the NCAA E te E ght, yet the program equa ed and surpassed a of those hon ors w th a terr f c 2008 season. GVSU put together a second stra ght 33 4 campa gn and added even more acco ades to the r a ready po shed resume: GLIAC North D v s on Champ onsh p, GLIAC Tournament Champ onsh p, M dwest Reg ona t t e, a seventh v s t to the NCAA E te E ght n the ast n ne years, a f fth F na Four berth n program h story, the GLIAC P ayer and Coach of the Year, a pa r of AVCA A Amer cans; the st cou d go on and on. It wou d have been d ff cu t to foresee, however, such a tremendous year after GVSU’s 3 2 start through ts f rst f ve matches of the season. The Lakers, ranked #6 n the AVCA preseason po and never ower than #10 throughout the year, dropped a 3 0 dec s on to #3 Truman State on Aug. 29 at the M ssour S&T Tournament to fa to 1 1 on open ng day. Grand Va ey State re bounded the next day to bounce perenn a power North A abama n f ve sets and capped off the weekend w th a 3 0 w n over #17 P tts burg State. The fo ow ng weekend (Sept. 5 6) n Den ver, Co o., the Lakers ost a f ve set match to 15th ranked Augustana to fa to 3 2 on the year. It m ght have been just the ear y wake up ca that GVSU needed, as the Lakers wou d sweep the f na three matches of the weekend and not put another ta y n the oss co umn for more than two months. Grand Va ey State eas y hand ed Metro State (four sets) and d s patched #21 Ch co State and #19 West F or da n 3 0 sweeps before return ng home for the be g nn ng of conference p ay. GVSU cru sed past non conference oppo nent Davenport, 3 0, n the home opener and dropped just one set n w nn ng at Wayne State and Northwood before tak ng care of West M ch gan r va , Ferr s State n three sets on Sept. 16. Later that week, t ooked ke the Lakers’ ong home w nn ng streak wou d be snapped. Grand Va ey State we comed two of the Upper Pen nsu a schoo s M ch gan Tech and Northern M ch gan nto town and a most suffered a pa r of defeats. Aga nst the Husk es on Fr day n ght, GVSU won the f rst two sets and t ap peared as though t wou d sweep MTU. However, M ch gan Tech fought back and won the next two sets before the Lakers preva ed n the f fth set w th a 15 9 w n. The next afternoon, the W dcats of Northern M ch gan won the open ng two sets before Grand Va ey State won the th rd set, pu ed off a 26 24 w n n the fourth set after tra ng 23 18, and sea ed the crazy weekend w th a 15 8 w n n the f fth set. GVSU then ran off s x stra ght conference w ns, n c ud ng f ve stra ght sweeps, before head ng to the GLIAC GLVC Cha enge n Ind anapo s, Ind. on Oct. 17 18. As the GLIAC’s top seed, Grand Va ey State matched up aga nst the GLVC’s second and th rd best teams, #24 Ind anapo s and #21 Northern Kentucky. The Lakers faced both schoo s on the f rst day of the tournament, defeat ng each team by the same 3 1 marg n. GVSU then took care of Be arm ne by a 3 0 sweep on Saturday afternoon.

2001 Semifinalist (Allendale, Mich.)
Grand Valley State (31-4) qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history in 2000. The Lakers captured the GLIAC title for the first time since a co-championship in 1987. GVSU hosted its’ first-ever NCAA Great Lakes Regional and came away with the regional championship. In the process, the Lakers had a five set battle with Northern Kentucky and then beat Northwood for the third time that season. At the Elite Eight, Grand Valley State faced Hawaii Pacific, who was 25-0 going into the match. The Lakers fell to the eventual national champion, 3-0 (15-4, 15-13, 15-4), putting an end to the remarkable season. Head Coach Deanne Scanlon was named AVCA Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year for the first time in her coaching career. Middle hitter Kathy Vis became GVSU’s first-ever First Team All-American and also received Daktronics Great Lakes Region First Team honors. Setter Kristy Kale, Grand Valley State’s all-time leader in assists (5,441) earned Second Team All-American and Daktronics Great Lakes Region First Team honors. Outside hitter Carly Miller was the third Laker to be named to the Daktronics Great Lakes Region First Team. The senior class had great success in their four years, compiling a 101-37 (.732) record from 1997-2000.
In 2001, the Lakers staked their claim as a national power by advancing to the NCAA Division II Championship Tournament for the second consecutive year. In addition, 2001 not only saw the Lakers advance to the Final Four for the first time in school history, but Grand Valley State hosted the championship event in its own Fieldhouse Arena, where close to 2,000 spectators enjoyed some of the nation’s premiere volleyball action. The Lakers entered the season with little expected of them after losing two All-Americans to graduation. However, a team without any seniors turned in one of the best volleyball seasons in the history of the school by recording a 29-5 record. A victory over Mercy College in the NCAA Elite Eight gave the Lakers their first ever Final Four appearance. However, the loss to South Dakota State in the national semifinal ended the Lakers’ season and 31-match home winning streak, just short of the ultimate goal of winning a national championship. Grand Valley State not only excelled in the postseason as they recorded a school-record 22-match winning streak, but it also claimed the GLIAC North Division title with an 11-1 mark in the regular season. Carly Miller became Grand Valley State’s second AVCA First Team All-American. Miller also received the GLIAC Player of the Year award and was a five-time Player of the Week award recipient. Chara Fehsenfeld was a Verizon First-Team Academic All-American for her 3.98 GPA and her play on the court. Fehsenfeld and Traci Skrzypek were named All-Great Lakes Region while Nicole Bayle and Sabrina Bird earned Second Team and Honorable Mention All-GLIAC. Head Coach Deanne Scanlon received the GLIAC Coach of the Year Award for the first time in her career and Great Lakes Regional Coach of the Year award for the second consecutive season.

Grand Valley State continued its success in 2002 as it captured the program’s third straight Great Lakes Regional Championship. The Lakers’ 32-3 record was the best ever in school history.

Grand Valley State then played Truman State and fell in the semifinals, 3-1 (30-27, 31-29, 26-30. 30-22). That was the last match for four seniors as Carly Miller, Chara Fehsenfeld, Traci Skrzypek, and Lisa Cramer left Grand Valley State after leading the team to an unbelievable 119-19 (.862) record in four years. Once again, Miller earned AVCA First Team All-American honors as did Nicole Bayle. Bayle and Miller also earned First Team AllGLIAC plaudits.

2007 Quarterfinalist (Topeka, kan.)
After falling in the Great Lakes Region semifinals in 2004, the Lakers wanted to regain the regional championship title and make it back to the NCAA Championships. Grand Valley State was granted the #1 seed in the Great Lakes Regional Tournament, allowing them to stay home and play at the GVSU Fieldhouse Arena. The Lakers rolled through the regional tournament, not dropping a game in any of the three matches. For the second straight year, GVSU matched up against Charleston in the quarterfinals of the regional tournament and for the second year in a row, Grand Valley State won 3-0. In the semifinals, the Lakers faced Northwood, making it the fourth time the two teams played during the season. For the fourth time, GVSU defeated the Timberwolves, 3-0, advancing to the Great Lakes Region Tournament championship match against second-seeded Rockhurst. The Lakers made quick work of Rockhurst, earning a 3-0 victory to advance to the NCAA National Championships for the fifth time in six years. The win marked the sixth consecutive postseason match GVSU won by a 3-0 margin. Grand Valley State faced Dowling in the quarterfinals and came out strong winning the match, 3-1. #16 GVSU faced #3 Tampa in the semifinals in what may have been its toughest match all season. The Spartans dominated game one, 30-19, but GVSU battled back to win game two, 30-19, and game three, 30-26. Tampa tied the match at two games apiece by winning game four, 30-28. The Lakers jumped out to a 7-2 lead in the deciding fifth game and held on to win the game and match, 15-10, advancing to their first-ever National Championship match. Entering the match, host school Nebraska-Kearney had won 33 straight matches overall and 66 consecutive home matches, which tied for the second longest in Division II history. Grand Valley State came out strong in the match taking games one (30-18) and two (30-27). The Lopers came back to take game three, 30-25, but GVSU sealed the match and the program’s first-ever Division II National Championship title with a 30-24 win in game four.
The Lakers made a return trip to the Elite Eight in 2007, their first since capturing the 2005 National Championship. GVSU won the Great Lakes Regional Tournament, hosting the event at GVSU Fieldhouse Arena. Grand Valley State bounced Charleston in the opening round with a 3-0 sweep before exacting some revenge on SIU-Edwardsville, one of just three teams to have defeated the Lakers up to that point in the season. GVSU ousted the Cougars from the tournament with a 3-1 victory, including a dominant 30-14 win in the decisive fourth game In the championship match, Grand Valley State upended Lewis in a five-game thriller. After losing the first two games, GVSU rallied to win three straight games and close out the Flyers, 3-2 (26-30, 28-30, 30-23, 30-24, 15-5). To return to the Elite Eight, the #5 Lakers headed out west to Topeka, Kansas where they faced eighthseeded West Texas A&M. GVSU secured a game one victory, 30-27, before the Lady Buffs won games two and three, 30-24 and 30-27. The Lakers forced game five with a 30-26 win, tallying 21 kills and a .447 hitting percentage. Game five was an instant classic, as the game was tied 10 times and GVSU fought off three elimination points after being tied 14-14. In the longest match of the tournament, West Texas A&M ended up victorious, winning game five 22-20, and ending the Lakers’ terrific season with a 334 record.

NCAA Tournament Recaps 2008 Semifinalist (St. Paul, Minn.) After cruising through the GLIAC Tournament with three consecutive four-set victories, Grand Valley State hosted the 2008 Midwest Regional Tournament in the GVSU Fieldhouse Arena and would face three opponents it already played - and defeated - earlier in the season. The Lakers had little trouble with Northwood in the opening round, knocking off the Timberwolves, 3-0. GVSU dropped the opening set of the semifinals against Indianapolis before winning the final three sets and taking a 3-1 victory. In a repeat of the GLIAC Championship match, the Lakers met up with Saginaw Valley State for the regional title. The Cardinals took the opening set before GVSU rebounded and closed the match with a 3-1 win and the school’s seventh regional championship in the past nine seasons. Grand Valley State entered the NCAA Elite Eight for the seventh time in program history and faced Armstrong Atlantic in just the second-ever meeting between the two schools. The Lakers had little trouble with AASU as Grand Valley State recorded its 17th 3-0 victory of the year (25-19, 25-23, 25-17) to advance to the Final Four for the fifth time in school history. Evoking memories of GVSU’s 2005 run to the Division II National Championship, the Lakers were paired up with #1 Concordia-St. Paul in the semifinals. The Golden Bears were not only the top-ranked team in the country, but also the defending national champions, winners of 35 straight matches, and playing on their home court. This was looking similar to when Grand Valley State defeated Nebraska-Kearney on its home court in the 2005 National Championship match. The result of the 2008 match, however, would not be the same. Concordia-St. Paul opened up an 8-0 lead in the first set and although the Lakers rallied to 18-15, CU held on for a 25-20 win. GVSU evened the match at one set apiece with a 25-20 victory in the second set. The Golden Bears closed out the match with wins in the third (25-17) and fourth sets (25-20) for a 3-1 victory. The following night, Concordia-St. Paul picked up its second consecutive National Championship with a five-set win over Cal State San Bernardino.

VOLLEYBALL
Laker Volleyball Experience
My experience on the Laker volleyball team has changed my life. It is quite funny that when you are in college, going to classes, traveling, spending time practicing and taking good care of yourself, you think it is the hardest thing that you ever will do. At the time you are a part of such commitment, you think that it cannot get any harder. Well, then you graduate and real life starts. Real financial struggles become reality. You begin a career with high levels of expected commitment. You have to make larger than life decisions that will shape your future. Grand Valley State volleyball totally prepared me for those decisions. The time spent during my four years at Grand Valley State taught me to be responsible, dedicated, respectful, committed to a purpose and driven toward a goal. Most importantly, I now have a coach that has become a friend, teammates who have become like family and experiences that will always be cherished memories.
Amanda Cameron 1993-1996
My time with the Grand Valley State volleyball program has been a learning experience on the court and off the court. I have learned the importance of time management, communication and presentation. My career with GVSU has given me some of the best times of my life. I will never forget the laughs I shared with teammates, the celebrations of victories, as well as the life lessons of struggle every studentathlete must face. I have chosen the career path of collegiate coaching because I want to give a student-athlete the same great experience that I had while being a part of the Grand Valley State volleyball program. I have learned what it takes to work hard and achieve your goals, both in sports and life. Through all of these lessons at Grand Valley State, I have learned how to be a winner.
Kristy Kale 1997-2000 Grand Valley State has been a major influence on my life, throughout my education and now into my professional career. I came to Grand Valley State from St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada to play volleyball, and had no idea what to expect. I had never heard of GVSU before and was even not sure of its location. Taking the initial tour of Grand Valley’s campus was a major deciding factor when it came to choosing the college. At GVSU, you will find the advantages, facilities, and resources of a large, state university in the atmosphere of a smaller private college. Playing volleyball at Grand Valley State was such a wonderful experience, and one that I will always cherish. Because of volleyball, I was able to bond with so many wonderful people and belong to such a supportive community. I loved the eight-hour road trips with the team,
singing and dancing down the aisle of the bus, watching movies or playing euchre. I’ll never forget that feeling of invincibility right before game time. The relationships that I made during those years are ones that will remain lifelong. Thanks for the memories, Grand Valley State.

Tim W. Selgo
- Director of Athletics
Tim W. Selgo enters his 14th year as athletic director at Grand Valley State. He was appointed athletic director on February 12, 1996 and has put his own stamp of leadership on Laker athletics. A promoter of a well-rounded athletic department, Selgo has been a key figure in the Lakers’ rise to the top of Division II athletics. Grand Valley State University won its sixth straight Directors' Cup in 2008-09, staking a claim as the top all-around athletic department in the country. GVSU is the first DII school to win the Directors’ Cup six straight years and tied UC Davis (6) for the most Directors’ Cup titles won. The prestigious award is presented annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), Learfield Sports and the USA TODAY to the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. In addition to the Lakers’ six straight Directors’ Cup titles (2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09), GVSU finished second in 2001-02 and 2002-03 in the Directors’ Cup standings. In addition, GVSU has won 11 straight Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference President’s Cup titles as the top athletic program in the 13-team GLIAC. The Lakers’ 16 all-time Presiden’t Cup titles top all GLIAC institutions. Grand Valley State has also won 92 GLIAC titles since 2000. A well respected leader in college athletics, Tim was appointed to the NCAA DII Management Council to serve a term of one year (200910). A term on the NCAA DII Management Council is the highest position in DII athletics. Selgo, who is on the NCAA DII Budget and Finance Committee, was named the Division II Central Region Astroturf Athletic Director of the Year in 2006-07 and was also honored as the Central Region AD of the Year in 2002-03. Selgo has been the key figure in the development of the athletic facilities and programs at Grand Valley State. The Laker Turf Building opened for all university activities in August 2008. The Laker Turf Building will allow academic classes and athletic teams the opportunity to work inside in inclement weather. The 137,662 square foot facility has a 100 x 55-yard fieldturf surface, a six-lane track with nine sprint lanes and batting cages that drop from the ceiling. The Laker softball team began play on its new field in 2008 and the GVSU Fieldhouse Arena is going through renovations. GVSU expanded its football stadium seating capacity to 8,550, added executive suites and a new scoreboard with a ProStar video display board. The GVSU Football Center, located in the north end zone of Lubbers Stadium, has been expanded by more than 4,000 feet, and a new track around the football field was installed in the summer of 1998. Lights were installed at Lubbers Stadium and the Rob Odejewski Weight Room was built in honor of the late Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing and Promotions. The baseball and soccer fields have added press boxes, storage space and concession areas. In addition, the fieldhouse locker room project, that enabled every varsity sport at Grand Valley State to have its own locker room, was spearheaded by Selgo. Prior to his arrival at Grand Valley State, Selgo was an Associate AD at the University of Toledo. While at Toledo Selgo was responsible for the day-to-day operations for Toledo’s 10 women’s and nine men’s sports teams that competed at the Division I level in the Mid-American Conference. Selgo was instrumental in the marketing and promoting of all 19 sports that the Toledo athletic department sponsored. A native of Pettisville, Ohio, Selgo was inducted into the Toledo Athletic Hall of Fame in February of 2001. He was a standout basketball player at Toledo from 1977-80, earning four varsity letters. The Rockets posted a four-year record of 87-26 during Selgo’s playing days on the hardwood. Selgo participated in two NCAA Midwest Regional Tournaments for Toledo. His 197879 Rocket squad claimed a first-round, 74-72, win over Iowa, before dropping a 79-71 decision to Notre Dame in the second round. In 1980, Selgo scored 18 points in Toledo’s 94-91 loss to Florida State in a first-round NCAA Tournament game. Selgo was part of two MAC Championship teams (1978-79 and 1979-80) and was co-captain of the ‘79-80 squad. He earned MidAmerican Conference All-Academic honors in 1978, 1979 and 1980 and was named Senior Scholar/Athlete-of-the-Year at Toledo in 1980. Known as an outstanding shooter, Selgo still holds the UT record for free throw percentage in a single-season, converting 92.3 percent (48-of-52) during the 1978-79 season. He also holds the Toledo career free throw percentage record in MAC games, hitting 86.1 percent (62-of-72) and the single-season Rocket mark for MAC games of 93.9 percent (31-of-33). Selgo graduated from Toledo in 1980 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education and a minor in mathematics. Following graduation, Selgo remained at Toledo as a graduate assistant for the Toledo men’s basketball program and earned his master’s degree in education administration in 1982. He then served as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Toledo from 1982-1985. In 1985 he was named head women’s basketball coach at Toledo. Selgo served as head coach of the Rockets women’s basketball program for three years, turning around a program that is now at the top of the MAC. Selgo is married to the former Terry Bush and together the couple have three children: Jennifer (24), Rachel (22), and Daniel (16). Jennifer is married to Matt Mitchell and the couple has a newborn son, Trayton.
