HEAD COACH PENNY DEAN

PENNY DEAN HEAD COACH • 24TH SEASON AT BGSU 266-222 AT BGSU • 312-266 OVERALL • • • 2013 MAC COACH OF THE YEAR • • •

Dean

The Bowling Green State University tennis program is in the more-than-capable hands of Penny Dean. The 2013-14 academic year marks Dean’s 24th season as head coach of the Falcons and her 28th year as a collegiate head coach. She concluded the ‘12-13 campaign with a record of 266-222 at BGSU, and a career head-coaching mark of 312-266. Dean guided the Falcons to what was most likely the finest season in program history in 2012-13. BGSU went 17-5 to set a school single-season record for dual-match victories, and the Brown and Orange posted the best Mid-American Conference regular-season and tournament finishes in the history of the program. Dean was named the 2013 MAC Coach of the Year after the Falcons finished in a tie for second in the league regular-season standings. The regular-season finish, as well as the Falcons’ number-two seed for the MAC Championships, represented program bests. BGSU had earned that second seed with a 5-2 win on the road against Western Michigan on the final day of the regular season. That marked the Falcons’ first-ever win over the Broncos. In the league tournament the following weekend, the Falcons defeated Akron in the semifinal round to advance to the championship match for the first time ever. Miami narrowly escaped the Brown and Orange with a 4-3 victory in that title match, but the 2012-13 Falcons had taken their place among the all-time BGSU greats. At the conclusion of the season, BGSU was ranked seventh in the Midwest Region in the final ITA rankings, the Falcons’ first such listing in four years. BG was the highest-ranked MAC team on the list. Other highlights of the ‘12-13 season included a school-record 12-match winning streak as well as a brief stint in the national rankings. The Falcons were listed 74th in the country by the ITA in the organization’s rankings of Feb. 26. Interestingly, BGSU -- without playing a match -- dropped out of the top-75 the following week. Additionally, junior Emily Reuland was ranked 87th in the ITA’s singles rankings at the start of the spring schedule in January of 2013. The 2012-13 team enjoyed a tremendous share of success in the classroom as well as on the courts. For the third-straight year, the tennis Falcons were recognized at the BGSU athletic department’s annual Honors Night for having the highest grade-point average of any of BG’s women’s teams, with a stellar 3.74 GPA. Additionally, senior Maddy Eccleston received the Falcon Medal of Honor, the highest award given by the department. The award is given to one male and one female student-athlete who embody the essence of the qualities BGSU Athletics holds important for all student-athletes -scholarship, athletics, leadership and service. Eccleston was the second tennis student-athlete to receive the Falcon Medal of Honor in three years.

HEAD COACH PENNY DEAN PENNY DEAN’S COLLEGIATE COACHING RECORD HEAD COACH, BOWLING GREEN

The tennis team, obviously, had also earned the highest GPA award for women’s teams in both 2011 and ‘12. Believe it or not, the 2011-12 team’s GPA of 3.69 was actually slightly down from the previous year (3.75). At the 2011 banquet, the team was also recognized for having the largest improvement from the prior year (increasing from 2.98). In June of 2013, the Falcons were recognized with an NCAA Public Recognition Award for the eighth consecutive year. The award is given each year to teams scoring in the top 10 percent in their sport with their Academic Progress Rate. BGSU has earned the honor in each year since it was instituted, and Dean’s Falcons have had a perfect score of 1,000 in every year of the APR’s existence. Through the Spring 2013 semester, all eight of Dean’s studentathletes had a cumulative GPA of at least 3.33, with four of the eight sporting GPAs of 3.88 or higher. On the court, Dean and the Falcons finished with a 10-10 overall record in 2011-12, and BGSU posted a 4-0 win over Eastern Michigan in the quarterfinal round of the MAC Championships to advance to the semifinals for the second-straight season. The Falcons were also named an ITA All-Academic Team for the fifth consecutive year, and BGSU has had at least three individuals earn ITA All-Academic recognition in each of those years. The ITA awards for 2013 have not yet been announced. In 2010-11, Dean led the Brown and Orange to a dual-match record of 15-8, just one win shy of tying the school’s then single-season record. The Falcons, picked to finish seventh in the MAC standings in the preseason coaches poll, went 5-3 in league regular-season play to finish fourth in the nine-team league. BG downed Toledo, 4-0, in the league tourney quarterfinals.

Chiricosta, after becoming the first player in program history to be named to the Academic All-America Team as a sophomore, earned that honor in each of the next two years as well.

HEAD COACH PENNY DEAN earn first-team honors as a senior, being selected to the 2011 Capital One Academic AllAmerica Women’s At-Large Team. 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. As mentioned, Christine Chiricosta earned ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America honors, being named to the second team. The Falcons were named an ITA All-Academic Team in ‘09-10, and three student-athletes were named ITA Scholar Athletes. In the 2008-09 campaign, the Brown and Orange finished with an overall record of 12-7, and a Mid-American 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 that year 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 - since broken). 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. And, the 2010-11 one-woman class of Christine Chiricosta also had 55 wins during her BG tenure. 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 19 of her 23 seasons, including in each of the last 11 campaigns. BGSU has posted double-digit win totals in 11 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 19992000), with Dean at the Falcon helm for half of the first streak and all of the second.

HEAD COACH PENNY DEAN The 2005-06 Falcon squad reeled off a school-record 11-match winning streak (since broken) en route to a 14-10 ledger. That came on the heels of a 12-10 overall mark the season prior, after the Falcons had recorded a total of 10 victories in 2003-04. In 2002-03, Dean’s Falcons were picked to finish seventh in the MAC’s preseason poll, but placed fifth with a 5-4 league record. That ’02-03 squad posted a four-match winning streak, the team’s longest in over two years, to end the regular season. All four wins came in MAC play, marking the team’s longest conference regular-season winning streak in nearly two decades. Dean and the Falcons amassed a then school-record 16 victories in 1998-99. Both that `98-99 team and the 1999-2000 squad tied the BGSU record for MAC wins in a season, each going 6-3 in league play.

Dean guided the Falcons to what was most likely the finest season in program history in 2012-13. BGSU went 17-5 to set a school single-season record for dual-match victories, and the Brown and Orange posted the best MAC regular-season and tournament finishes in the history of the program.

Prior to joining the Falcons, Dean spent eight years as the tennis director at the Toledo Country Club, while also serving as tennis professional at Shadow Valley Tennis Club in Maumee. Dean spent four years (1985-88) as head coach at The University of Toledo, leading the Rockets to fourth-place MAC finishes each year. Dean had a 4644 dual-match record at UT. Dean has experienced a great deal of success on both sides of the BGSU-UT rivalry, with her teams winning 23-of-31 matches. Dean had a perfect 5-0 record vs. BGSU during her four years with the Rockets. Since her arrival at BG, Dean has guided the Brown and Orange to an 18-8 record against UT. Her coaching background also includes stints with the Northwest Ohio Junior Wightman Cup (1977-81, 1983-85) and Midwest Federation Cup teams (2000-01). Dean was appointed by the governor to the Ohio Physical Fitness & Sports Advisory Board, serving a three-year stint. She also served as a tennis pro at the Toledo Racquet Club, holding that position from 1976-84. Dean has worked with the Ethel Parker multicultural tennis program for inner-city youth in Toledo for the past five summers. She is a 14-time winner of the Toledo City Championships, having collected five singles titles and nine doubles crowns. In October, 1998, her league team, competing at the 4.5 level, won the state and Midwest District playoffs and advanced to national play in Tucson, Ariz. Dean attended Ottawa Hills High School in Toledo, where she played field hockey, volleyball and basketball in addition to tennis. A 1967 graduate of the University of Michigan with a degree in business administration, Dean played four years (1963-67) of tennis, and also played field hockey for four years for the Wolverines. In November of 2013, Dean was named the President’s award winner by the USTA/Northwest Ohio Tennis Association. The award is based on outstanding service and dedication to the growth of tennis in Northwest Ohio. Dean and her husband, Bill, reside in Toledo. The couple has two children: Debby and Michael, a BGSU graduate. BOWLING GREEN • 2013-14 FALCON TENNIS

ASSISTANT COACH JIM KASER

JIM KASER ASSISTANT COACH • FIRST SEASON AT BGSU TOLEDO, 1986 Jim Kaser is in his first season on the Bowling Green State University tennis staff. Head coach Penny Dean announced Kaser’s hiring on Aug. 26, 2013, and he officially began his duties at BGSU on Sept. 1.

Kaser

“Jim brings a wealth of playing and coaching experience to the BG tennis team,” said Dean. “His coaching and practice drills will be invaluable along with his contagious enthusiasm. We are all pumped to begin our quest, as we look to build on last year’s success and bring home a MAC tennis title to BGSU.” Kaser, a veteran of the Northwest Ohio tennis circuit, brings a vast amount of tennis teaching and coaching experience to the Falcon program. He was the head boys and girls tennis coach at Maumee Valley Country Day School in Toledo, coaching the girls team for 14 seasons and the boys for 13.

ASSISTANT COACH CINDY YONKER

CINDY YONKER ASSISTANT COACH • FIFTH SEASON AT BGSU BOWLING GREEN, 1997 Cindy Yonker, one of the top players in BGSU tennis history, is in her fifth season on the coaching staff at her alma mater. After four years as head coach Penny Dean’s top assistant, Yonker transitions into a volunteer assistant role for the 2013-14 season.

Yonker

Yonker has helped the Falcons to an overall dual-match record of 54-33 in her first four years on Dean’s staff. Yonker and Dean led the Brown and Orange to what was most likely the finest season in program history in 2012-13. BGSU went 17-5 to set a school single-season record for dual-match victories, and the Brown and Orange posted the best Mid-American Conference regular-season and tournament finishes in the history of the program. Dean was named the 2013 MAC Coach of the Year after the Falcons finished in a tie for second in the league regular-season standings. The regular-season finish, as well as the Falcons’ number-two seed for the MAC Championships, represented program bests. In the league tournament, the Falcons defeated Akron in the semifinal round to advance to the championship match for the first time ever. Miami narrowly escaped the Brown and Orange with a 4-3 victory in that title match, but the 2012-13 Falcons had taken their place among the all-time BGSU greats. Yonker, a native of nearby Perrysburg, Ohio, spent four years as head coach at Webster University in St. Louis, Mo. She was named the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in both 2000 and 2003, her first and last seasons there. Yonker guided the Gorloks to three secondplace finishes and one third-place result in the eight-team conference. At BGSU, Yonker (maiden name Mikolajewski) earned Mid-American Conference honors in each of her four years. An all-league second-team pick as a freshman in 1993-94, she earned honorable mention in her sophomore season. Yonker was an All-MAC First-Team pick in each of her final two years in the Brown and Orange. In her senior year of 1996-97, Yonker posted a total of 43 wins, the second-highest single-season victory total in school history at the time. A team tri-captain, she was named to the Academic AllMAC 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 runner-up 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. Through the conclusion of the 2012-13 season, Yonker still ranks eighth in BGSU history in overall wins. She is tied for ninth in career singles victories, and ranks 16th in doubles wins. Yonker received her Bachelor of Arts degree in business education from BGSU in 1997. She and her husband, Bob, a former BGSU men’s tennis player, have three children and reside in Perrysburg.

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 66-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

HALL-OF-FAMER CARLA MARSHACK

Coach: June Stack 5-17 (0-7 MAC / Eighth of 8) MAC Ty.: Eighth of 8

In September of 2006, Carla Marshack became the first-ever Falcon women’s tennis player to be named to the BGSU Athletics Hall of Fame. 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 two-time academic all-league and academic all-district selection, she was named the Falcon Club Outstanding Junior Student-Athlete 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 student-athletes (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 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 greatgranddaughters.Robert J. Keefe, 87, a professor emeritus of health and physical education at BGSU, passed away at Wood County Hospital in January of 2006.

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. 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 1962-64, Keefe’s Falcon teams compiled a 34-5 dual-match record. 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.
