BGSU TENNIS NOTES

CHIRICOSTA, EASDALE NAMED TEAM CAPTAINS Senior Christine Chiricosta and junior Jessica Easdale have been named co-captains of the 2010-11 Falcons. Chiricosta is entering her second year as the Falcons’ top singles player, after playing at the number-two flight during her freshman and sophomore seasons. She has played at the top doubles flight in every year at BGSU. “I am proud of Christine,” said head coach Penny Dean. “She is a natural leader, and has been such an important part of this team for over three years. She is more than deserving of being named team captain.” Easdale posted a 29-17 record last season, in her first year in the lineup. She went 1710 in singles and 12-7 in doubles play. Easdale played at the fourth singles flight for six of the eight MAC regular-season matches, along with BGSU’s conference tournament match. Chiricosta was named a team captain prior to the season, while Easdale was chosen for the honor in December. “Jessica is very deserving of this honor,” said Dean. “In reality, she has been fulfilling a leadership role for us since the year began. Jessica is very responsible and understands the awesome position she will be undertaking as we strive to win a MAC championship.”

HEAD COACH PENNY DEAN

PENNY DEAN HEAD COACH • 21ST SEASON AT BGSU 224-199 AT BGSU • 270-243 OVERALL The Bowling Green State University tennis program is in the more-than-capable hands of Penny Dean. The 2010-11 academic year marks Dean’s 21st season as head coach of the Falcons and her 25th year as a collegiate head coach. Entering the dual-match portion of the ’10-11 campaign, Dean now has a record of 224-199 at BGSU, and a career head-coaching mark of 270-243.

Dean

Dean guided the 2009-10 team to a 12-10 overall mark on the court, and a veritable plethora of academic honors in the classroom. Christine Chiricosta earned ESPN The Magazine Academic AllAmerica honors for the second consecutive year, being named to the second team. The Falcons were named an ITA All-Academic Team, and the team also received a public recognition award for their latest multi-year NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR), earning that distinction for the fourth consecutive year. The award is given to programs that posted an APR in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. Additionally, three Falcons were named ITA Scholar Athletes. In the 2008-09 campaign, the Brown and Orange finished with an overall record of 12-7, and a MidAmerican Conference mark of 5-3. The latter record was the program’s first winning ledger in MAC play since the 2002-03 season. BGSU finished fourth in the regular-season standings. Dean and the Falcons posted a 16-5 overall record in the 2007-08 season, in the process tying the school single-season record for wins. Dean’s 1998-99 team originally set that mark. That ’07-08 team ended the season with the school’s highest winning percentage in three decades. The program’s .762 win rate in `07-08 was the highest since the 1977-78 team finished 8-2 (.800) in dual matches. The Falcons won the first 11 matches of the season before finally losing a dual match in late March. BGSU’s streak was the best start to a season in school history, and tied the program record for longest winning streak (regardless of time of year). Also in ’07-08, for the first time in program history, the Falcons were listed among the national rankings. BGSU debuted at No. 60 in the March 4 ITA poll, before moving up to 54th in the March 11 rankings. The following week, the Falcons were ranked 56th in the nation, before finally losing a match and dropping out of the polls. That loss came at the hands of Eastern Michigan, but the Falcons avenged that setback with a win over the Eagles in the quarterfinal round of the MAC Championships. That win was Dean’s 200th victory at BGSU. Additionally, it helped her ’07-08 senior class, Jenna Nussbaum and Andrea Volle, conclude their careers as the winningest class in program history. BGSU won 55 matches during their four seasons, the most victories in a four-year span in program annals. Dean’s ’08-09 senior class of Jakupcin, Menoff and Libby Harrison furthered that tradition, matching Nussbaum and Volle by recording a total of 55 dual-match wins during their four years with the program. The Falcons posted a 13-9 overall record in 2006-07, tying for fourth place in the MAC with a 4-4 league mark. The Falcons, the fourth seed for the MAC Championships, battled back from a 3-0 deficit in the quarterfinal-round match to post a 4-3 win over Miami. Dean has led the Brown and Orange to double-digit win totals in 16 of her 20 seasons, including in each of the last eight campaigns. BGSU has posted double-digit win totals in eight consecutive years for the first time in school history. BG had had four-straight seasons of 10 wins or more on two prior occasions (1988-89 to 1991-92 and 1996-97 through 1999-2000), with Dean at the Falcon helm for half of the first streak and all of the second.

CINDY YONKER ASSISTANT COACH • SECOND SEASON AT BGSU BOWLING GREEN, 1997 Cindy Yonker is in her second year back at her alma mater, having joined the Bowling Green State University tennis staff for the 2009-10 season. Head coach Penny Dean announced Yonker’s hiring on Sept. 1, 2009. Yonker, a native of nearby Perrysburg, serves as a part-time assistant coach.

Yonker

“I am very excited to have Cindy join the BGSU tennis staff,” said Dean at the time of Yonker’s hiring. “She has a wealth of knowledge and experience and will hit the court running.” Yonker spent four years as head coach at Webster University in St. Louis, Mo., and was named the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in both 2000 and 2003, her first and last seasons there.

A team tri-captain, she was named to the Academic All-MAC Team in addition to earning all-league honors on the court that season. Yonker had begun her career by tying the BGSU record with 23 singles wins as a freshman, and was the runnerup at No. 3 singles at that year’s MAC Championships. As a soph in 1995, Yonker was the recipient of the MAC’s Leann Grimes Davidge Sportsmanship Award. She finished her career as the winningest player in school history, with 143 combined career wins. Yonker was second on the doubles wins list (68) and was tied for second on the singles victories chart (75) upon the conclusion of her career in 1997. Heading into the spring of 2011, Yonker still ranks sixth in BGSU history in overall wins. She is tied for seventh in career singles victories, and ranks 11th in doubles wins.

THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE MEET THE MAC

Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only 11 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in the 64-year history of the league in March of 2009. Steinbrecher came to the MAC after serving six years as the commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference.

MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE 24 Public Square, 15th Floor Cleveland, OH 44113 (216) 566-4622 www.mac-sports.com

HISTORY OF THE MAC

Based in Cleveland since July 1999 following a 15-year stay in Toledo, Ohio, the MAC has established historic measurements in both football and men’s and women’s basketball since moving to Northeast Ohio. The MAC was founded as a five-school league on February 24, 1946 in Columbus, Ohio with Ohio, Butler, Cincinnati, Wayne State and Western Reserve admitted as charter members. The Mid-American Conference has 12 full-time schools and a 13th, Temple, for football only. Comprising the East Division is the University of Akron (joined in 1992), Bowling Green State University (1952), University at Buffalo (1998), Kent State University (1951), Miami University (1947), Ohio University (1946) and Temple University (2007). The West Division members are Ball State University (1973), Central Michigan University (1971), Eastern Michigan University (1971), Northern Illinois University (1975-86, 1997), University of Toledo (1950) and Western Michigan University (1947). In 1946 men’s basketball was the first competitive sport in the MAC, which now sponsors a total of 23 sports. Women’s sports were brought into the conference’s structure in 1980.

23 SPORTS

For men, championships (11) are sponsored in football, basketball, baseball, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, golf and tennis. For women, championships (12) are sponsored in basketball, softball, volleyball, cross country, field hockey, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, gymnastics, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and tennis.

Marshack, a native of Riverwoods, Ill., was the first BGSU female tennis player to capture a MAC singles title, winning the crown at the number-one flight in her senior year of 1992. The team’s No. 1 singles player in all four of her years in the Brown and Orange, Marshack also was the school’s first player to earn the top seed for the MAC Championships, doing so in her sophomore year of 1990.

BGSU Hall-of-Famer Carla Marshack

Marshack set school records for singles wins in a season (23) and career (75) and total career wins (124). Though those marks have since been broken, she still ranks among BGSU’s top-10 on each list. A twotime academic all-league and academic all-district selection, she was named the Falcon Club Outstanding Junior StudentAthlete in 1991 and the BGSU Senior Scholar-Athlete of the Year in ‘92. In her senior year, Marshack was BGSU’s female nominee for the MAC’s Bob James Award, given to the top studentathletes (one male, one female) in the conference.

ROBERT J. KEEFE / KEEFE COURTS No discussion of tennis at Bowling Green would be complete without mentioning the name Robert J. Keefe. During his 23-year tenure at Bowling Green, Keefe became the first full-time coach of the Falcon men’s tennis squad and was inducted into the BGSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1997. Keefe, a Navy veteran of World War II, embarked upon what he thought would be a long-term professorial career at the University of Saskatchewan when he learned of an opening at Bowling Green in 1955. Not only would it put the family close to in-laws in Oberlin, Ohio, but more importantly, it included the opportunity to coach tennis and teach future teachers, his daughter said. He never had any misgivings about his choice to be a teacher, Mr. Keefe added, noting that many of his students and team players stayed in touch with him over the years.

In 1980, the tennis facility at BGSU was named in his honor. While coaching at BG, Keefe was also a full-time professor in the health, physical education and recreation department. Keefe served as the Dean of the College of Education for six years upon his retirement from coaching. He also started the curling club, a legacy of his two years in Saskatchewan, at BGSU, and regularly attended many University sporting events. He earned his undergraduate degree in English from Brooklyn College in 1940 and his master’s and doctorate degrees from Columbia in 1941 and 1952, respectively. He and Frances, his wife of 63 years, had two daughters, Carolyn Keefe and Barbara Hall, along with two grandchildren and two great-granddaughters.Robert J. Keefe, 87, a professor emeritus of health and physical education at BGSU, passed away at Wood County Hospital in January of 2006.

Keefe, as mentioned, was the first full-time tennis coach at BG, serving in that capacity from 1955 until 1968. His teams compiled an 83-76 record, including the 1964 Mid-American Conference championship (BGSU tied Miami for the league crown). That team also posted an undefeated record in 15 dual matches. Between 196264, Keefe’s Falcon teams compiled a 34-5 dual-match record.

Above: Robert Keefe with BGSU coach Penny Dean at a dedication ceremony at the original Keefe courts (behind the BGSU Ice Arena). Left: The Falcons take on Toledo during regular-season action in the 2008-09 season at the ‘new’ Keefe Courts, just across Stadium Drive from the original courts. The courts (below) are nestled between Steller Field (baseball) and Meserve Field (softball).
