Keith PU RYEAR Head Coach | UMBC (1990) 4th Year at Navy: 35-14 (.714) | 23rd Year Overall: 478-327 (.594) Keith Puryear is in his fourth season as the head coach of the Navy women’s tennis team, taking a program that was a club team just three years ago to the Patriot League Tournament finals and a 22-10 overall record during the program’s second varsity season in 2010-11. Puryear has taken the Navy women’s tennis program from a club power into a force in the Patriot League in just two short years. A year ago, Puryear led the upstart Navy women’s tennis program to the Patriot League Tournament finals and a 3-0 Patriot League regularseason mark. The Midshipmen finished the year with a 22-10 record, starting the season with an 11-4 mark, then winning nine of their last 10 matches. Three members of the squad were named to the all-Patriot League team and Puryear was named the Patriot League Coach of the Year by his peers. In 2009-10, with a line-up that featured four freshmen quite regularly, the Midshipmen posted a 13-4 overall record, a 2-1 Patriot League mark and a trip to the Patriot League Tournament semifinals. This past offseason, his third full recruiting class was named one of the top mid-major classes in the country (honorable mention), one year after his second class was ranked as the 25th-best mid-major recruiting class in the country by the tennis web site, TennisRecruiting.net(.) Prior to arriving in Annapolis, he won over 440 dual matches while coaching both the men’s and women’s team at UMBC. His Retriever squads won 11 conference titles from 1998 to 2007 and he has won almost 60 percent of all his dual-meet competitions. When it was announced in October 2008 that Navy was going varsity in women’s tennis, Navy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk had his man

in mind. “Coach Puryear brings to our midshipmen a wealth of successful experience and documented winning ways,” said Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk. “Meeting him is to be immediately impressed. Everyone is very enthusiastic about Keith joining the academy family. His philosophies resonate the fundamental values and academic aspirations of our programs and his expect to win mindset will be just what we need to jumpstart our new varsity women's tennis program.” “I would like to thank Chet Gladchuk for giving me the opportunity to start the women's tennis program at the Naval Academy,” said Puryear. “I know the rich history of Navy athletics, so it is an honor to be given this opportunity. I am looking forward to the challenges presented by all of the schools in the Patriot League. My staff and I will work hard to develop a program that is successful and is one that all can be proud of.” Off the court, Puryear was inducted into the UMBC Athletics Hall of Fame (Class of 2012) and in May 2009, Puryear joined the United States Tennis Association Board of Directors, adding to his already-long list of accomplishments. Puryear won 443 matches and 10 conference coach-of-the-year honors in a decade as the head men's and women's coach at UMBC. His men's teams have appeared in five NCAA Tournaments (2000-2003, 2007), while the women have also made five trips (1999-2003) to the NCAA tournament. Puryear's squads are also successful in the classroom. Last year's Navy team had four players earn Patriot League Academic Honor Roll accolades, and UMBC's women's tennis squad posted a grade-point av-

Returning to his studies at UMBC, Puryear graduated with a B.S. in economics in the spring of 1990. Puryear was selected Big South Conference Women's Coach of the Year in 1997-98, and was the NEC Women's Coach of the Year in 1999 and 2001. In addition, he was selected as the NEC Men's Coach of the Year for 1999-2000 and 2000-01. In 2002, he accomplished a double, earning both men's and women's coach-of-the-year honors, and in 2003, he captured the women's award for the third-straight year. Puryear and his wife, Venida, have two daughters, Jasmynn (21) and Keri (15).

Ale PEDERGNANA Assistant Coach | UMBC (2006) 4th Year at Navy Ale Pedergnana is in her fourth year as an assistant coach of the Navy women’s tennis team. On the court, Pedergnana has helped Navy to a 35-14 overall record during the program’s first two years, a 5-1 Patriot League regularseason mark and an appearance in the Patriot League Tournament finals in just the program’s second varsity season. Pedergnana has been instrumental in

Navy’s success over the last three years, serving as a dynamic recruiter and helping Navy land a pair of highly-regarded classes according to TennisRecruiting.net(.) She played a vital role in Navy’s second class, which was ranked as the 25th-best mid-major recruiting class in the country. Last year’s class earned honorable mention recognition. “Ale has been a great addition to the Naval Academy family. I coached her as a player for

four years and this will be her fourth year as an assistant coach with me. She is very knowledgeable about the game, has a great handle on recruiting and we think she will be a very strong asset to our tennis program,” said Puryear. “She also had great success on the court, serving as a team captain during her junior and senior years and should be inducted into the UMBC Hall of Fame when she becomes eligible. I am very excited that she is part of our staff here at Navy.” Pedergnana joined Puryear as they led Navy through the transition from becoming a club power to a force on the Patriot League level. Pedergnana became an assistant coach at UMBC in the fall of 2006 after four outstanding years on the courts for the Retrievers. The duo of Puryear and Pedergnana earned America East Coaching Staff of the Year honors for both men's and women's tennis in the 2006-07 campaigns after leading the men's team to their first America East Championship and the women's team to the conference finals. Pedergnana put together an outstanding four-year career on the tennis courts for the Retrievers. As a freshman, Pedergnana won 27 matches and was named all-Northeast Conference in the Northeast Conference. She earned all-America East honors in 2004 and

The native of Queens, N.Y., won her last eleven singles matches of the season and finished the campaign with an impressive 13-4 record. At the junior level, Pedergnana was ranked as high as fifth in the nation in doubles, was in the top 50 in the nation in singles and in the top five in the Eastern section. She won a bronze ball at the 2002 Winter Super Nationals and a silver ball at the 2006 USTA National Women's Open Indoor Championship in Flushing Meadows, N.Y., both in doubles competition. Pedergnana was named one of two Outstanding Senior Female Athletes of the Year at the 2006 UMBC Varsity Awards ceremony. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2006, and recently received her master's degree in adolescent and sports psychology. She resides in Catonsville, Md.

As the undergraduate college of the Naval service, the Naval Academy prepares young men and women to become professional officers and leaders in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Naval Academy students are midshipmen on active duty in the U.S. Navy. They attend the academy for four years, graduating with bachelor of science degrees and commissions as ensigns in the Navy or second lieutenants in the Marine Corps. Naval Academy graduates serve at least five years as Navy or Marine Corps officers.

Founded in 1845 by Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft, the Academy started as the Naval School on 10 acres of old Fort Severn in Annapolis with an original class of 55. In 1850 the Naval School became the United States Naval Academy. A new curriculum went into effect requiring midshipmen to study at the Academy for four years and to train aboard ships each summer. Congress authorized the Naval Academy to begin awarding bachelor of science degrees in 1933. Today, the Academy offers 23 major fields of study, a wide variety of elective courses and advanced study and research opportunities. USNA MISSION STATEMENT “To develop midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor and loyalty in order to graduate leaders who are dedicated to a career of naval service and have potential for future deployment in mind and character to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship and government.”

From the first athletic competition played on the gridiron in 1879 to Navy's recent triumphs, several events, people, rivalries and personalities have shaped the entire Naval Academy athletic program. Below is a look at just some of the history and traditions that make Navy one of the most storied programs in all of collegiate athletics. ANCHORS AWEIGH "Anchors Aweigh" was written by Lt. Charles Zimmermann, Musical Director of the Naval Academy in 1906, with the lyrics provided by Alfred H. Miles of the Class of 1906, as a fight song for the 1907 graduating class instead of the usual class march Zimmermann had composed for previous classes. The song made its debut at the 1906 Army-Navy game, and when the Midshipmen won the game, the song became traditional at this game. It gained national exposure in the 1920s and 1930s when it was heard on the radio and was in a number of popular movies. In 1997 a one-hour documentary on the history of Navy football, titled "Anchors Aweigh for Honor and Glory", was produced by NFL Films. The film was deemed a success by both critics and fans alike. Here are the words: Stand Navy down the field, Sails set to the sky, We'll never change our course, So Army you steer shy. Roll up the score, Navy, Anchors Aweigh, Sail Navy down the field, And sink the Army, Sink the Army Grey

BILL THE GOAT The first recorded use of a goat mascot for Navy athletic teams was in 1893 when an animal named El Cid (The Chief) was turned over to the Brigade by young officers of the USS New York. El Cid helped Navy to a 6-4 triumph over Army that year. Two cats, a dog, and a carrier pigeon have also enjoyed brief reigns as the Navy mascot, but goats have served without interruption since 1904. Bill XXXIII and XXXIV are the current mascots. They are taken care of by 15 goathandlers made up of five midshipmen from the first, second and third classes. The goathandlers undergo rigorous training prior to handling Bill on the field. BLUE & GOLD This song was written in 1923 by Cmdr. Roy DeS. Horn, USN (Ret.) with music composed by J.W. Crosley. Following every home athletic competition, the team faces its fans with their hands on their heart and sings the following notes:-

# 27 #

N AV Y W O M E N â&#x20AC;&#x2122; S T E N N I S Now, colleges from sea to sea May sing of colors true; But who has better right than we To hoist a symbol hue? For sailors brave in battle fair, Since fighting days of old, Have proved the sailor's right to wear The Navy Blue and Gold

The Blue Angels perform an air show along the Severn River on the northern bank of the Academy each spring during Commissioning Week.

ENTERPRISE BELL From the bridge of the famed World War II aircraft carrier, it has been a part of the Naval Academy tradition since 1950. The late Admiral Harry W. Hill, then Superintendent, was instrumental in bringing the "E" Bell to Annapolis. It rings during special ceremonies when Navy scores a majority of victories over Army in any one of the three sports seasons. The bell also rings during Commissioning Week for those teams that beat Army and have not participated in a previous bell-ringing during the academic year. The bell is stationed in front of Bancroft Hall.

The Navy football team gathered for the traditional singing of the Blue & Gold following its win over Army in 2010, its ninth-consecutive win over its rival. Below: The mensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lacrosse team sang an emotional rendition of Blue & Gold following its overtime victory over rival Johns Hopkins in 2010.

In the early days of the American Navy, midshipmen trained aboard ship until they were eventually commissioned as ensigns. With the founding of the Naval Academy in 1845, it became possible, as it still is, for a midshipman to enter the Navy directly from civilian life. The name of students at the Naval Academy changed several times between 1870 and 1902, when Congress restored the original title of Midshipman, and it has remained unchanged since. TECUMSEH The familiar Native American figurehead facing Bancroft Hall and Tecumseh Court has been an Annapolis resident since 1866. Originally, the figurehead of the USS Delaware was meant to portray Tamanend, the great chief of the Delawares. It developed that Tamanend was a lover of peace and did not strike the fancy of the Brigade. Looking for another name, Midshipmen referred to the figurehead as Powhatan and King Philip before finally settling on Tecumseh, the fierce Shawnee chieftain who lived from 1768-1813. The original wooden statue was replaced after some 50 years in the open weather by a durable bronze replica, presented by the Class of 1891. It is considered a good-luck "mascot" for the midshipmen, who in times past would throw pennies at it and offer left-handed salutes whenever they wanted a 'favor', such as a sports win over West Point, or spiritual help for examinations. These days it receives a fresh coat of war paint and is often decorated in various themes during football weeks and other special occasions such as Commissioning Week.

MIDSHIPMAN The word midshipman first appeared in English in the 17th century in the form of the word midshipman to designate those men who were stationed "amidships," i.e. in the waist or middle portion of the vessel, while on duty. By 1687, however, the second 's' had been dropped to give the current form of the word. Midshipmen were originally boys, sometimes as young as seven or eight, who were apprenticed to sea captains to learn the sailor's trade.

Navy is dedicated to providing its athletes top-notch gameday and practice atmospheres in every sport. Navy annually ranks among the league leaders in attendance in nearly every sport, and has hosted numerous Patriot League and NCAA Championship events over the last several years. Many of the facilities have undergone extensive renovations recently, showing Navy’s commitment, dedication and passion to providing the very best for its athletes.

Since 2005, Navy has played host to the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Quarterfinals, the NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Final Four, the College Squash Association Individual Championship, the CWPA Eastern Water Polo Championship, the EIWA Wrestling Championship, as well as several other highly-competitive national events. In the past five years, Navy has also played host to Patriot League championships in the following sports: men’s and women’s basketball, women’s soccer, baseball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and swimming and diving.

Navy’s facilities have also undergone major renovations and construction improvements, from the building of the $52 million Wesley A. Brown Field House, the $18.5 million Brigade Sports Complex, the $1.8 million Willis Bilderback-Dinty Moore Navy Lacrosse Hall of Fame, the $18 million Hubbard Hall renovation, major baseball renovations to the Terwilliger Brothers Field at Max Bishop Stadium, a $1.5 million renovation of the Halsey Field House squash facility, a complete reconstruction of courts and at the Dyer Tennis Center, a $1 million dive tower replacement in Lejeune Hall, $5 million for the renovation of Rip Miller Field (removed crown, installed vertical drainage, replaced bleacher and press box), Ricketts Hall training room expansion, a new press box at Glenn Warner (soccer), new hammer throw venues for track & field, installation of FieldTurf in Halsey as well as a complete $42 million overhaul of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium that gives the Mids a dominant home-field football presence and made the facility the finest in college lacrosse.

In his 10 years as Director of Athletics, Chet Gladchuk has overseen a renaissance of the Naval Academy athletic program. His administrative leadership has helped lead the program to one of the most successful periods in school history. In 2010-11, Navy won 63 percent of its contests and claimed the overall series against Army for the 18th time in the last 19 years. Navy produced nine All-Americans, 11 conference athletes of the year, nine conference coaches of the year and 11 conference championships. The Mids also excelled in the classroom, ranking No. 4 in the country in graduation rate for student-athletes (among Football Bowl Subdivision schools) and all 24 of Navy’s NCAA sponsored varsity sports rank above the national average in the Academic Progress Report, including five teams with perfect scores. Navy had five Academic All-Americans, four Patriot League Scholar Athletes of the Year and an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winner. Six of the top 15 Naval Academy graduates and 28 of the top 100 graduates in the Class of 2011 were involved with varsity or club athletics. The football team had another successful season in 2010, posting a 9-4 record and playing in a school-record eighth-consecutive bowl game. The Mids beat Army for a series-record ninth-consecutive year and defeated Notre Dame for the third time in four seasons. Other teams who flourished in 2010-11 included the women’s basketball team winning the Patriot League Championship and advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history; the rifle team placed seventh at the NCAA Championship; the women’s lacrosse team advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second-straight season; intercollegiate sailing placed ninth at the ICSA Nationals; the baseball team won the Patriot League Regular Season and Tournament titles and participated in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002; while the water polo, men’s cross country, men’s swimming & diving, men’s indoor track & field, women’s indoor track & field and women’s rowing all won conference titles. Gladchuk’s efforts have been recognized on a national level as well, as the Division IA Athletic Directors Association named him the 2005 Bobby Dodd Athletic Director of the Year. The award is presented in recognition of an athletic director’s support and commitment toward the successful advancement of the department, most specifically in the sport of football. Additionally, he was recognized by the Secretary of the Navy for his contributions and service to the Navy and the Naval Academy with the Superior Public Service Award to the Department of the Navy. Gladchuk has been able to parlay Navy’s athletic success into an exclusive television deal with CBS ports Network that has increased Navy’s television exposure both in the United States and internationally. CBS Sports Network, the first 24-hour college sports network, televises every Navy home and select neutral site football games (excluding Notre Dame and Army which are televised nationally by CBS), as well as other Midshipmen men's and women's athletic events, original programming and documentaries centered on the storied Navy athletic program. The long-term, multi-media agreement includes internet streaming, broadband and videoon-demand rights and high definition rights. A major part of the agreement was that all home football games would be played on Saturday for the convenience of the Navy alumni. Navy sports are seen all over the world with the international distribution of Navy programming, especially to the troops serving abroad. Navy’s contract with CBS Sports Network runs through 2018. Gladchuk has also added radio giants WBAL (1090 AM) in Baltimore

and WFED (1500 AM, 1050 AM, 820 AM) in Washington D.C./Northern Virginia to Navy’s radio network. WBAL Radio, which is also the home of the Ravens, is Maryland's dominant and most powerful radio station. Since 1925, generations of Marylanders have turned to WBAL Radio for news, weather, thought-provoking discussions and sports. As Maryland's only 50,000-watt AM station, WBAL's signal travels substantially further than any other station in the state. WFED Radio, which is also the home of the Washington Nationals, is a 50,000-watt station that will air a minimum of 10 regular-season football games. WFED is your source for federal news covering both the Federal Government and those who do business with the government. Since being introduced as the Academy's 28th Director of Athletics on Sept. 4, 2001, Gladchuk has pressed forward on numerous fronts with energy and vision. From the hiring of Paul Johnson and Ken Niumatalolo as head football coaches to the renovation of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, Gladchuk has made improvements in several key areas that will prove more success on the athletic fields for years to come. Recent head coaching hires such as Bill Roberts in men’s swimming, John Morrison in women’s swimming, Paul Kostacopoulos in baseball, Keith Puryear in women’s tennis, Cindy Timchal, the all-time winningest women’s lacrosse coach in NCAA history, Stefanie Pemper, one of the all-time winningest Division III women’s basketball coaches, Dave Brandt, the all-time winningest soccer coach in NCAA history, Larry Bock, the all-time winningest coach in collegiate volleyball history, Ed DeChellis, the 2009 Big Ten Basketball Coach of the Year at Penn State, and Rick Sowell, who was a two-time America East Coach of the Year. During Gladchuk’s tenure at the Naval Academy, he has seen the Midshipmen win 75 conference titles, produce 137 All-Americans and 48 Academic All-Americans. Gladchuk has also worked tirelessly to bring back school spirit, working in conjunction with school officials to encourage midshipmen to attend events for all sports. He has embraced the local community and alumni base, and is an often-requested speaker, visiting areas all over the country as he shares the vision of the Naval Academy and the Naval Academy Athletic Association. Gladchuk’s biggest impact on the Naval Academy has been the $42 million renovation of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium where under his leadership the stadium was completely refurbished over a four-year time frame. The addition of 6,500 permanent seats on the sidelines and in the end zones, 32 luxury boxes, dropping the field eight feet and moving the sidelines closer, two video scoreboards, a memorial plaza, upgraded restroom and concession areas, a perimeter walking path, new lighting, a new sound system, landscaping the grounds and storm water management highlight the list of renovations. Gladchuk has worked closely with the city, county, state and neighborhood associations to ensure proper communication and sensitivity to issues that benefit both the NAAA and community at large. The NAAA was awarded the Green Star award by former Annapolis Mayor Ellen Moyer for commitment to the environment during the ongoing renovation of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Gladchuk and the NAAA have also teamed up with the Naval Academy Foundation to raise over $75 million in private giving for facilities such as the Brigade Sports Complex (hockey and tennis), Max Bishop Stadium (baseball), varsity squash courts, various team locker rooms and a number

Other highlights during Gladchuk’s tenure at the Naval Academy include the recent renegotiation of the Army-Navy contract which resulted in over $46 million to the two schools over the next eight years, scheduling Maryland, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Army at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore to promote Navy football in the community, negotiating the extension of the Navy-Notre Dame football game television contract with CBS through 2018 and negotiating bowl deals with the Houston, Emerald, Poinsettia, Meineke Car Care, EagleBank, Texas, Armed Forces and Military Bowls. Gladchuk is heavily involved with NCAA and Patriot League committees. He recently was selected to serve on the NCAA Leadership Council, which is one of the highest NCAA appointments an athletic director can realize. The council helps set the Division I legislative agenda and advises the NCAA regarding major legislative issues being considered. The primary responsibility of the council is to identify those issues on the horizon that can impact Division I and intercollegiate athletics as a whole and spends much of its time planning for the future of Division I and helps set the course for the future. Gladchuk is also on the NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Athletic Directors) Executive Committee and has served as the Chairman of the Executive Committee in the Patriot League and a member of the NCAA Olympic Sport Liaison Committee. Gladchuk came to the Naval Academy from the University of Houston, where he had been the Director of Athletics since July 18, 1997. Recognized as one of the nation’s top leaders in intercollegiate athletics management, he guided the Cougars to 19 Conference USA Championships, while making significant strides in the academic success of their student-athletes, gender equity and fiscal management. Before Houston, Gladchuk was the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, Intramurals and Recreation for seven years at his alma mater, Boston College. Under Gladchuk, Boston College emerged as one of the NCAA’s elite programs of the 1990s winning numerous Big East and NCAA Championships. The school’s graduation rate for all student-athletes was over 90 percent and the Eagles won the College Football Association’s Academic Achievement Award for the highest graduation rates among all Division I schools in three of his last five years at Boston College. Gladchuk led the Alumni Stadium expansion effort, which resulted in a $35 million improvement to the football stadium. Prior to rejoining Boston College, Gladchuk served as AD at Tulane University from 1987-90. During his tenure, he directed the reinstatement of the Green Wave basketball program to Division I status. In addition, he oversaw the construction of new facilities for the athletics administration as well as baseball, track and field and tennis teams after a $25 million athletics campaign was successfully completed. From 1985-87, he served as Associate AD at Syracuse University, heading operations, NCAA compliance, financial aid and facility operations. Gladchuk lettered in football at Boston College and graduated with honors in business management in 1973. He earned a master’s in sports administration from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst in 1974, where he began his career in intercollegiate athletics, including serving for seven years as Director of General Physical Education, Assistant and Associate Athletic Director for the university. He also has served as Director of Athletics and head football coach for the New Hampton (Prep) School in New Hampshire prior to leaving for UMass. He and his wife, Kathy, have four children: John, a graduate of Loyola Marymount; Katie, a graduate of Boston College; Christie, a graduate of Trinity and Julie, a graduate of the University of North Carolina.

FIRST-RATE FACULTY & STAFF The Naval Academy's philosophy of education stresses attention to individual students by highly qualified faculty members who are strongly committed to teaching. Classes are small, with an average size of fewer than 18 students and a student-faculty ratio of 8:1. All courses at the Naval Academy are taught and graded by faculty members, not by graduate assistants.

U ( Al n 2

Our 600-member faculty is an integrated group of officers and civilians in nearly equal numbers. Officers bring fresh ideas and experiences from operational units and staffs of the Navy and Marine Corps. The academy's civilian faculty members give continuity to the educational program and form a core of professional scholarship and teaching experience. Working together closely, these military and civilian faculty members form one of the strongest and most dedicated teaching faculties of any college or university in the United States.

The men and women of the United States Naval Academy have committed themselves to the service of our nation. During their four years in Annapolis, the Midshipmen demonstrate their willingness to give by taking part in several community service events.

w w w. N AV YS P O RT S . c o m

From outreach opportunities such as autograph sessions following athletic events, to working with underprivileged youths, the student-athletes at Navy give back to the area they call home during their college years.

The following are a few examples of community service opportunities performed by the men and women of Navy athletics during the 2010-11 academic year.

FOOTBALL While in San Diego, Calif., prior to the Poinsettia Bowl, several members of the football team attended a Make-AWish Foundation event where players and coaches spent time with the kids and their families. The bowl game and Make-A-Wish Foundation of San Diego benefit from a strong partnership as more than 500 members of “Wish Families”, including wish children, their parents and siblings, attended the game as special guests.

Seniors Andre Byrd and Ricky Dobbs took time to speak with students at several area schools. Byrd addressed students at Mount St. Joseph High School in Baltimore where he talked about the obstacles he overcame in his life to become a midshipman and a member of the Navy football team.

As he did throughout his career, Dobbs continued to make several appearances at local schools last year, explaining the importance of doing your best in school and following your dreams.

The team also continued the tradition of inviting ill and special needs children and their families to practices.

MEN’S & WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Both the men’s and women’s teams combined to hold free skills clinics for local youths. Assistant coaches and players from both teams provided instruction to over 200 kids from the Annapolis area.

The Navy men’s basketball team was out in full force, volunteering for the 2011 Maryland Special Olympics and then providing area youth with a skills clinic. The team has done a number of community-service events in the past, whether it’s conducting free camps, volunteering for the Special Olympics or speaking to groups of local youth.

Members of the men's basketball team also volunteered their time at the St. John's Episcopal School's Field Day, playing basketball with many of the youth and setting up drills and contests for the kids.

N AV Y W O M E N ’ S T E N N I S WOMEN’S LACROSSE Twenty-one members of the women's lacrosse program conducted a lacrosse clinic at the all-girls Excel Academy in Washington, D.C. The Mids taught the children basic lacrosse skills and also organized drills, relay races and informal games. WOMEN’S SOCCER Navy women's soccer players Jessica Grupp, Katie Kelly, Alexes Lopez-Shaw and Ashlynn Soellner volunteered at a youth soccer clinic at the Excel Academy, an all-girls school in Washington, D.C. The Athletes For Hope organization helped coordinate the event, which was for first and second grade girls. SWIMMING & DIVING The swimming and diving teams continued their tradition of offering free learn-to-swim lessons to anyone in Lejeune Hall during the spring.

MEN’S TENNIS The men’s tennis team again made its annual visit to the MaliVai Washington Kids Foundation, which provides an athletic and educational after school outlet for youths in the Jacksonville, Fla., area. The Mids first participated in a question-and-answer session with the youths before hitting the tennis courts for some instruction and competition. As a tradition each time Navy visits, every time a youth defeats a Mid, the Navy player has to immediately do 10 pushups.

BASEBALL The baseball team continued its strong relationship with a local child with a brain tumor through the Friends of Jaclyn Organization. The child has been a fixture at Navy home games for the past two seasons as the team has taken an even more active role in his and his family’s lives. The team and coaches routinely spend time with him away from the field, attend movies and support him at his band concerts.

The Naval Academy is located in historic Annapolis, the capital of the State of Maryland. Annapolis was founded in 1640 as Anne Arundel Town and later became the first peacetime capital city of the United States of America in 1783.

Annapolis, named to honor Queen Anne of England, was granted a royal charter as a city in 1708. Annapolis can also lay claim to having been a capital of the United States. From November 1783 to August 1784, the Continental Congress met in the State House. It was here that they accepted George Washington’s resignation as commander-in-chief and ratified the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary War.

The colonial heritage of Annapolis is still evident as the city boasts more buildings from the 1700s than any other city in the country.

The heart of downtown Annapolis has also been designated a National Historic District. Many fine examples of colonial architecture, including the State House, Hammond-Harwood House, Chase-Lloyd House and the William Paca House and Gardens, are open to visitors.

In August, 2009, Annapolis was named a Top Ten finalist for the International Award for Livable Communities, a competition focused on creating livable communities through sound environmental practices.

Annapolis is located on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the United States. The Chesapeake provides natural environs, sightseeing, sailing, fishing and more, helping Annapolis become the sailing capital of the world. The water-lover will also revel in the fact that Maryland has nearly 4,000 miles of shoreline – more than any other state.

Within 30 minutes of Annapolis lies both Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, providing entertainment and sightseeing opportunities for residents and tourists alike.

Now in its third decade as an all-sport conference combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 23 men and women’s sports. Initially started as an NCAA Division I-AA football conference in 1986, the Patriot League became an all-sport conference in 1990 and includes American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy as full members, and Fordham, Georgetown and MIT as associate members. These institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation and their alumni have and continue to play leadership roles in shaping our country.

Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked first each year among all Division I conferences awarding athletic aid in the NCAA Graduation Rate Report. The League finished at the top spot with nearly all of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 82 teams from Patriot League full-member institutions earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports.

The Patriot League’s mission is simple, to provide successful competitive athletic experiences while maintaining high academic standards, and to prepare its student-athletes to be leaders in society.
