WELCOME

EXPRESS ATHLETICS FACILITIES BELMONT COUNTRY CLUB

women’s basketball and women’s volleyball.

In nearby Perrysburg, the men’s golf team plays at Belmont Country Club, a private club that features one of the premier championship courses in Ohio.

The SHAC has played host to many high profile events, including most recently the 2011 NJCAA Division II Women’s Volleyball Championships.

The Robert Bruce Harris-designed par-72 course is challenging but scenic, with huge greens, fairways lined with mature trees and shrubs, and six holes bordered by picturesque water hazards. The combination fulfills the claim by Harris that there would not be a dull hole on the course.

EXPRESS OUTDOOR SPORTS COMPLEX The Express Outdoor Sports Complex is comprised of the Owens Baseball, Softball and Soccer Fields.

The Baseball Field, with grandstand seating to hold 500, features the following dimensions: 320 feet down the left and right field lines, 365 feet in the power alleys in left- and right-center fields and a measurement of 390 feet to center field. The field has two batting cages. The latest improvements made to the Baseball Field began in 2011 with a new infield mix added and the rebuilding of the bullpen mounds. Owens baseball staff and administrators collaborated with the Toledo Mud Hens head grounds superintendent Jake Tyler and Owens Community College Turfgrass Management associate professor Chris Foley to improve the sprinkler system and overall maintenance and upkeep.

A canny designer with more than 300 courses to his credit, Harris mixed the holes by length and character for player interest, while giving equal attention to landscaping details. Every hole provided its own vistas.

Later, world-renowned golf course architect Arthur Hills helped Harris make alterations to the course, which measures nearly 7,000 yards for championship tournament play.

STUDENT HEALTH AND ACTIVITIES CENTER Opened in 2000, the Student Health and Activities Center is the focal point of the athletic program at Owens Community College.

The Express Softball Field, home of the 2011 National Runner-up Express, also has grandstand seating directly behind home plate for 500 fans. The outfield dimensions are a symmetrical 200 feet at the foul poles and straight-away center field. The Owens Community College grounds staff does an outstanding job of keeping the playing surface in top shape.

The complex, affectionately known as the SHAC, is one of the finest facilities at the two-year level in the country.

The athletic offices are headquartered in the SHAC, which also includes the individual sport coaches’ offices and basketball/ volleyball arena. All student-athletes benefit from a training room, spacious locker rooms and first-rate fitness center, including free weights, machine weights and aerobics center as well as a running track. The SHAC’S multi-purpose intramural courts also are utilized for Express team and individual practices, converting to batting cages for baseball and softball; while also being used for indoor soccer training and the court sports for men’s and

The Owens Soccer Field had been the home pitch of just the men’s soccer program until the women’s soccer program played its first official season in 2011. The Soccer Field has played host to a number of OCCAC and regional matches.

All playing fields at the Express Outdoor Sports Complex feature Daktronics scoreboards.

ATHLETICS MISSION Advance student-athlete development through emphasis on academics, citizenship, leadership, sportsmanship and community involvement.
