Responding to the needs of Rhode Island, the Dominican Order of Preachers made Five Apartment Buildings a special commitment to the state in 1917 and founded Providence College — the only One Suite Hall institution of higher learning in North America that is conducted by the Order. In 95 Faculty years, Providence College has steadily moved to a position of national prominence, while 401 members, 299 full-time faculty maintaining a personal, community-like atmosphere that fosters growth and develop 9.2 % Dominican priests or sisters 7.3% Friars ment among its student population. 12.1:1 student to faculty ratio Providence College’s rich heritage dates back to 1216, or the origins of the Dominican 90.8% Ph.D. or highest degree in field Order in Spain. Through the ages, the Dominican Friars became known as the “champions of the faith,” spreading the gospel message through the centuries into every corner of the globe. Today, Dominican Friars continue to spread the gospel in a wide range of remote areas of the world, to teach at every level of the United States educational system. With the Dominican tradition as its foundation, Providence College focuses on developing the entire person through its valuesoriented education. The college seeks to complement a student’s knowledge with knowledge of his own values — values that will remain the foundation for sound judgement throughout a lifetime. To that end, Providence College aims to relate its curriculum to the problems of contemporary society, offering diverse programs of study that remain grounded in the liberal arts. Students may choose from some 60 concentrations ranging from computer science to labor relations to theatre arts. In addition, qualified students who wish to structure a program not specifically provided under the regular concentrations may develop their own program with the approval of the dean of the college. As part of the core curriculum, all students take a two-year, team-taught course, Development of Western Civilization (DWC) which integrates the study of literature, philosophy, history and religious studies through the ages into a cohesive interdisciplinary unit. Situated just on the fringe of downtown Providence, the College’s location enables students to have easy access to the many social, cultural, educational and recreational amenities of urban life - the Providence Public Library; entertainment at the Providence Performing Arts Center; sporting events, entertainment and trade shows at the Dunkin' Donuts Center and the Providence Convention Center, Providence Place Mall and dozens of fine restaurants. With several other major educational institutions located in Providence, the city has become a hub of collegiate activity.

ATHLETICS DIRECTOR ROBERT G. DRISCOLL, JR. ATHLETICS DIRECTOR/ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT Since Robert G. Driscoll was hired as the Associate Vice President for Athletics on November 2, 2001, Providence College athletics has experienced unprecedented growth in academic and athletic performance, fundraising, facilities and community involvement. Driscoll has reinvigorated the Providence College Athletics program, leading the charge with a vision of creating one of the most respected programs in the nation, where each student-athlete graduates and has the opportunity to compete for championships. Driscoll was recognized for his efforts on June 10, 2008 as he was named the 2007-08 Astro Turf Athletics Director of the Year for the Division I Northeast Region at the 43rd National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Annual Convention. He also was honored in 2009 by his alma mater, Ithaca College, where he received the Distinguished Sport Industry Leader award during alumni weekend. Most recently, he was elected as Third Vice President of the Division I-AAA Athletic Directors Association. In addition to academic and athletic excellence, Driscoll has placed a strong emphasis on the enhancement of facilities at Providence. Driscoll worked strategically with lead officials in the City of Providence and the State of Rhode Island to help spearhead an $80 million renovation of the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, which is home to the Friar men’s basketball team. The renovated Dunkin’ Donuts Center is once again a state-of-the-art facility that seats over 12,600 fans. Renovations have enhanced the game-day experience by adding 20 luxury boxes, new seats, a video scoreboard, sound system, updated restaurant and concession stands, team store, locker rooms and new weight training and fitness areas. As a result, Providence College, the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, the city of Providence and the state of Rhode Island hosted the First and Second Rounds of the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, which was a complete success. In March of 2012, renovations of Alumni Hall began and were completed in September. Alumni Hall, which is the practice facility for men’s basketball and home courts for women’s basketball and volleyball, is now equipped with a new ceiling, lighting, air conditioning and heating systems, upper level windows and new seating in the upper and lower arena. The entire communications and data systems were overhauled and a video scoreboard was installed, along with an enhanced audio system for public address and in-game entertainment needs. In addition, the College gained approval for renovations to Schneider Arena, which began in August of 2012. When completed, Schneider Arena, home of the Friar men’s and women’s hockey teams, will have new locker rooms, sports medicine room, a strength and conditioning complex and an equipment room. The College also will build a state-of-the-art soccer and lacrosse complex adjacent to Schneider Arena as well as a new softball complex and tennis courts on lower campus. Athletically, Providence continued to achieve success during the 2011-12 season. The men’s cross country team qualified for the NCAA Championship and finished 22nd overall. The men’s soccer team hosted a first round NCAA Tournament game for the second-consecutive season and advanced to the second round. Meanwhile, the women’s soccer team advanced to the BIG EAST Tournament for the first time since 1994. The men’s hockey team upset No. 2 seed UMass Lowell in a best-of-three Hockey East Quarterfinal series and became the first No. 7 seed to win a Hockey East Quarterfinal series. It marked the Friars’ first appearance in the league semifinals since 2001. In addition, the women’s hockey team advanced to the Hockey East Championship game and came within seven seconds of capturing the crown. During the track season, the Friars continued to thrive. Emily Sisson earned All-America honors in the indoor 3,000 meters and the outdoor 5,000 meters, while Shelby Greany also was crowned All-American in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the NCAA Championships. Sisson and Greany captured BIG EAST individual titles in the 5,000 meters and the steeplechase, respectively, during the outdoor season. In addition, David McCarthy set a New England record in the mile (3.55.75) and also garnered All-America status in the mile at the NCAA Championships. On May 11-12, 2012, Providence College hosted the Cox Sports 15th Anniversary Celebration of the 1997 Providence College Men’s Basketball Elite Eight Friars. Led by former Friar Head Coach Pete Gillen, a number of former Friars from the 1997 team attended the event, which benefited the men’s basketball Mullaney Fund. In addition to the recent renovations to Alumni Hall and upcoming renovations to Schneider Arena as well as the state-of-the art soccer and lacrosse complex, there have been numerous other facility improvements in Alumni Hall. The men’s basketball offices, hallway and locker rooms were renovated, thanks to a generous gift from Providence College alumnus Joe Calabria ‘65. The Joe Calabria Hallway of Legends was dedicated in January of 2009. Consisting of nine exhibit areas and seven display cases, the hallway features players and teams from each era of the Providence College basketball program. The hallway’s floor is a replica of the Friars’ Dave Gavitt Court at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center and the project also includes a complete renovation of the coaches’ offices, the film room and the team’s locker room. The men’s soccer program received a generous donation from John Murphy ‘80 and renovated the soccer offices. The Joyce Murphy Soccer Suite opened in November of 2008. The suite features new offices, meeting spaces and a lounge area equipped with flat screen televisions. The men’s soccer locker room also was refurbished thanks to a donation by Kerry and Karl Anderson ‘87. With the creation of the BIG EAST Lacrosse Conference, the lacrosse offices were renovated to go along with a new locker room. The volleyball locker room also was renovated and a new women’s basketball video room was created. In addition, the track/cross country offices and the women’s soccer offices also were refurbished. The Helen Bert Student-Athlete Study Lounge, which was opened in 2007, was recently expanded. Thanks to a generous donation from Judge Bill Leary ’60 and his wife, Emily, the Friends of Friar WOMEN'S BASKETBALL - 15
ATHLETICS DIRECTOR/ADMINISTRATION Hockey Room also was renovated at Schneider Arena. The Bill and Emily Leary Friends of Friar Room includes plasma televisions, high-top counters and meeting space for the teams. In addition, a media library room displaying the history of Friar Hockey was made possible thanks to a generous gift from Bob O’Connor ’62. In August of 2007, the Concannon Fitness Center, a state-of-the-art $18 million facility, was opened. The Concannon Fitness Center is adjacent to the $6 million Lennon Family Field (Astroturf facility), which was completed in August 2005.

BIG EAST CONFERENCE The 2012-13 academic year is the 34th in the history of The BIG EAST Conference as the unique consortium marches on competing at the highest level with integrity and sportsmanship. The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth and continues to make strides in improving the quality and depth of the storied league. The BIG EAST Conference has always been driven by lofty goals. The outstanding performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are evidence of the league’s proud tradition of success. The league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The 2011-12 year was no different. In the athletic arena, BIG EAST student-athletes again enjoyed success on the national stage. The Georgetown women’s cross country team captured its first NCAA Championship. The win by the Hoyas marked the third-straight year a BIG EAST team has won the women’s cross country championship, with Villanova winning the past two. The Louisville men’s basketball team advanced to the Final Four in New Orleans. Connecticut field hockey reached the NCAA semifinals, as did the Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team. The Irish women’s basketball team and Syracuse women’s lacrosse team each reached the NCAA finals. USF softball reached the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla., for the first time in program history. The BIG EAST placed two teams in the NCAA Women’s Final Four for the third time in the last four years as Connecticut joined Notre Dame in Denver, with the Fighting Irish advancing to the national title game for the second-straight year. BIG EAST student-athletes won five NCAA championships. Sheila Reid won her second-straight NCAA Women’s Cross Country title. Syracuse hurdler Jarret Eaton won the 60-meter hurdle championship in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship. Notre Dame won the distance medley relay at the same championship. Georgetown’s Emily Infeld won the 3,000-meter run. Carlos Almeida of Louisville won the 200-yard breaststroke at the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships. BIG EAST football maintained its national profile as a competitively balanced group. Three BIG EAST teams won bowl games, while the BIG EAST representative in the Bowl Championship Series won its bowl game for the fourth time in the last seven years- a streak that includes wins against the ACC, Big 12 and SEC champions. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing – the University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, the University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida. BIG EAST institutions reside in 18 of the nation’s top 50 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain more than one-fourth of all television households in the U.S. The BIG EAST will welcome UCF, Houston, Memphis, SMU and Temple in all sports in 2013-14. Temple football will join the league in 2012, with Boise State and San Diego State joining the following year and Navy in 2015. Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 32 national championships in six different sports and 137 student-athletes have won individual national titles through 2011-12. BIG EAST basketball squads have captured 11 titles in the last 13 years. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. The BIG EAST placed three men’s basketball teams in the Final Four in 1985, the only time this has occurred in NCAA history. Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. The conference currently crowns champions in 24 sports. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics. Any successful organization has had the good fortune to have outstanding leadership. The BIG EAST primarily was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, who was the conference’s first Commissioner. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. John Marinatto was the third commissioner of the BIG EAST, serving from 2009-2012, after seven years as the conference’s senior associate commissioner. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyed longstanding relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past nine years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 student-athletes.

BIG EAST CONFERENCE COMMISSIONER MIKE ARESCO BIG EAST CONFERENCE COMMISSIONER Mike Aresco, one of the most influential leaders in collegiate sports television, was named Commissioner of The BIG EAST Conference on August 14, 2012. Aresco came to the BIG EAST from CBS Sports where he was Executive Vice President, Programming. He was responsible for all college sports programming for CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network. Aresco oversaw the acquisition and management of CBS Sports college properties, including the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, regular-season college basketball and football, conference basketball championship games, football bowl games and other programming. His responsibilities included game selection and scheduling, day-to-day operations, contract negotiations, identification of future acquisitions, development of programming strategies and coordination of new media and marketing initiatives. Aresco played an integral role in the landmark deal that created the CBS Sports-Turner Broadcasting partnership, which resulted in the acquisition of the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Championship rights through 2024. He managed the complex 14-year agreement that provides expanded national broadcast and cable coverage of the NCAA basketball championship. Aresco also was instrumental in the CBS Television Network’s groundbreaking bundled rights agreement with the NCAA which granted CBS exclusive rights to the NCAA Tournament from 2003 through 2010. The 2010 NCAA Championship won a Sports Emmy in the Outstanding Playoff Coverage category. Aresco also played a key role in negotiating the marketing agreement that coincided with the original NCAA deal and was instrumental in creating a partnership with IMG and the NCAA to assist in acquiring new NCAA corporate sponsors. He also was a significant contributor in the development of new media platforms for the NCAA Championship, including March Madness on Demand, CBS’ highly successful streaming platform. In 2008, Aresco negotiated a historic 15-year agreement with the Southeastern Conference to televise the league’s football and basketball games. The agreement also provided multiple new media rights for CBS, CBS Sports Network and CBS Interactive. He forged numerous basketball agreements with major conferences, including the BIG EAST, ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 and Big 12. Aresco recently negotiated 10-year extensions of the Army-Navy and Notre Dame-Navy football rivalries. Aresco was the creator and executive producer of The Tony Barnhart Show, the critically- acclaimed college football show, as well as Courtside with Seth Davis, a highly-regarded weekly show devoted to college basketball, both of which air on the CBS Sports Network. In 2004, he was appointed by the late NCAA President Myles Brand to the Basketball Partnership, a select panel whose mission was to explore ways to improve and promote college basketball. He is a charter member of the steering committee of the Columbia University/New York City Chapter of the National Football Foundation and serves on the board of the National Sports Marketing Network. Aresco joined CBS Sports from ESPN where he was responsible for overseeing the acquisition, scheduling and development of long-term strategies for all ESPN college sports properties. Earlier in his tenure at ESPN, he was responsible for programming a wide variety of sports properties, including College Football Association, Big 10, and Pac-10 college football, NCAA events, including early rounds of the NCAA basketball tournament, the College World Series and various professional sports events, including thoroughbred racing, Top Rank Boxing, CFL football, Australian Rules Football, rodeo and yachting. He was the architect of ESPN’s signature Thursday night college football series and helped develop ESPN’s Bowl Week. He joined ESPN in 1984 as Counsel and was named Assistant General Counsel in 1988 before moving to the programming department. Aresco is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Tufts University (B.A., magna cum laude, history), the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts (M.A., international relations), where he held a John Moors Cabot Scholarship, and the University of Connecticut Law School (J.D.). He practiced law privately in Hartford, Conn., for several years. Aresco, 62, and his wife, Sharon, have two adult sons, Matthew, an Emmy-nominated television producer who owns a production company in Connecticut, and Brett, an aspiring actor who lives in New York City.

HELEN BERT - A TRUE PIONEER A TRUE PIONEER FOR WOMEN'S ATHLETICS AT PROVIDENCE COLLEGE The Providence College community lost a great friend, and long-time supporter on September 30, 2002, with the passing of Helen A. Bert. Bert was a former coordinator of women's athletics and an associate athletic director at Providence College, and is known by many as the "Original Lady Friar." Widely known as a pioneer of female athletics, Bert was appointed as the first woman in the Providence athletic department in 1971 by former PC Athletic Director Dave Gavitt. Upon her hiring on September 29, 1971, Gavitt said: "We are delighted to get a woman of Mrs. Bert's caliber to head up our Women's Recreation Department. With the arrival of women on the Providence College campus, we are doing all in our power to give the girls a well rounded recreational and physical education program." In the fall of 1971, Providence College, which had previously only admitted males, had accepted 300 females into the student body. Lisa Connolly Gilbride was a freshman in that class. She played tennis and basketball for the Friars and was the first woman to earn the College's Athlete of the Year honor in 1975. After graduating, she was hired by Bert, her former tennis coach, to be the women's tennis coach at Providence. "When women first arrived at PC, they had not anticipated that there would be a need for women to have athletic activities, " Gilbride stated. "Dave (Gavitt) hired Helen to look after the women. Helen created the women's center, which welcomed all the female students, not just the athletes. She arrived at PC at the beginning of Title IX and never stopped crusading for the female athletes. It was through her that we learned about passion, vision and courage." Bert began as the Coordinator of Women's Athletics and was promoted to Assistant Athletic Director in 1974. She was promoted to Associate Athletic Director under Lou Lamoriello in 1982. Under Bert's tutelage, 12 Division I varsity women's sports were established as well as the first athletic scholarships given to women's basketball players in 1975. Her programs gained regional and national attention and produced several All-Americans. Ray Treacy, who is the Director of Cross Country and Track & Field Operations at Providence College was hired by Bert in 1984 to be the Women's Cross Country and Track & Field Head Coach. "Mrs. Bert was a true champion for women's athletics at Providence," Treacy stated. "The track and cross country programs are a beneficiary of her vision." Bert graduated from Hunter College in New York, N.Y. She served as athletic director and coach of the girls' basketball team at Cardinal Spellman High School in New York before joining the PC athletic department. On February 24, 1984, Bert was inducted into the Providence College Athletic Hall of Fame, becoming the first woman inductee at PC. In addition, she also was inducted into the North Providence Sports Hall of Fame in 1989 and the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame in 1996. After 17 years at Providence College, Bert retired in 1988, but her vision remained intact as did her presence at the College. The Westin Hotel in Providence, R.I. was the site for a hugely successful Gala honoring the Friar legend on April 16th. Friends and colleagues hailed her as “a true champion”, “inspirational”, and “a gifted educator." Lesley Visser of CBS Sports, was the keynote speaker, while local CBS affiliate televsion anchor Karen Adams emceed the event. Arthur Bert, Helen Bert's son, also gave a speech during the event. Dave Gavitt and Britt King were among the remaining speakers. Gavitt is a served as Athletic Director at Providence College from 1971-82. Gavitt also served as the men's basketball coach at PC from 1969-79. Britt King is a 1986 graduate of Providence College and was a four-year member of the Friar women's basketball team. On February 6, 2010, Bert was honored at halftime of the Providence women's basketball game versus Pittsburgh. An honorary jersey was hung in Alumni Hall, bearing her name, along with former Friar great Kathy Finn. Bert and Finn are the first to be honored with a jersey retirement ceremony for women's basketball. Members of Bert's family were on hand for the ceremony. Bert is missed by many, but her passion, vision and courage will live on through the continued improvement of women's athletics at the College.

Her legacy is a generation of women who believe in themselves and that their capablilites are limitless." --Lisa (Connolly) Gilbride • Played tennis and women's basketball for the Friars and was the first female to earn the College's Athlete of the Year honor in 1975.

Helen was way ahead of her time in pushing for equality of women's athletics." --Joe Mullaney, Jr. '78 • Served as head women's basketball coach at Providence College from 1980-83 and now serves as the associate head coach of the women's basketball program at Villanova University.

In 119 career games, Marandola posted double digits in the scoring column 99 times, including 33 of 34 games as a senior. She currently ranks third on the Friars' all-time scoring list with 1,795 points and 17th in rebounding with 651 boards. Upon completion of her collegiate career, she played professional in Austria.
SONYA LEWIS (1990-94) The 1992-93 Friar women's basketball season was the year of Sonya Lewis. Plagued by injuries throughout most of her career, she was able to show her stuff during her junior campaign. Lewis was rewarded as an All-BIG EAST Third-Team selection at season's end. After scoring a then-league record 97 points in four BIG EAST Conference Tournament games in 1993, Lewis was named to the BIG EAST All-Tournament Team. In just 93 career games, Lewis scored 1,028 points and currently ranks 28th all-time in scoring at PC. She also ranks 13th all-time in career assists with 290. She also recorded 305 rebounds and 111 steals in her career. NADINE MALCOLM (1993-97) Nadine Malcolm became the quickest Friar to reach the 1,000 point plateau, doing so in only 54 career games. Malcolm was an All-ECAC First Team and All-BIG EAST Second Team selection in her final two seasons with the Friars. A broken wrist sidelined her as a freshman and a stress fracture sidelined her as a sophomore. She was a two-time KODAK All-America Honorable Mention, one of only two Friars to be named to the team twice. Malcolm was the first women's basketball player from Providence College to play professionally in the WNBA. Prior to the WNBA, Malcolm also played in the ABL. Malcolm currently ranks sixth all-time in career scoring (1,649 points) and 14th all-time in rebounding (688 rebounds). KERRI CHATTEN (1994-98) Chatten played three years for PC before suffering an ankle injury during her final season, in which she played 10 games. Chatten was selected as an All-BIG EAST Third Team honoree in 1997. She also was named to the All-Rookie Team as a freshman. To date, Chatten ranks ninth all-time in career scoring at Providence with 1,378 points and 12th all-time in rebounding with 726 boards. 62 - PROVIDENCE COLLEGE FRIARS

PROVIDENCE COLLEGE LETTER WINNER'S SOCIETY • Established 2003-04 During the 2003-04 academic year, Providence College Athletic Director Robert G. Driscoll established a new tradition within the Friar athletic department. Driscoll developed the "Letter Winner's Society" as a way to formally recognize Providence College student-athletes for their committment and dedication to their respective teams. The “Letter-Winner’s Society” holds two inductions each academic year to honor student-athletes who have met the criteria to earn a lettermen’s jacket. A specific criteria has been developed for each sport by the head coaches and athletic department administrators. During the ceremony, each student-athlete receives a lettermen’s jacket. Nine members of the women's basketball team were inducted into the "Letter Winner's Society" on April 9, 2004, marking the first members of the program to be inducted. To date, there have been 43 members of the women's basketball program have been inducted into the "Letter Winner's Society".

YEAR-BY-YEAR RESULTS JOE MULLANEY, JR. 66-27 1980-83
Bearing the name of one of the finest coaches in the history of college basketball, Joe Mullaney, Jr. proved to be as effective and talented as his father was in patrolling the sidelines of Alumni Hall. Compiling a home record of 34-7, Joe was as comfortable in the confines of Alumni Hall as his father was in the early years with the men's basketball team. As head coach, Joe led the Lady Friars to two-consecutive Northeast AIAW Regional Tournament bids as well as two 20-win seasons. Joe Jr. played basketball for three years under Dave Gavitt, on the same Friar team which traveled twice to the NCAA tournament and to the NIT semifinals. Joe is currently the associate head coach at Villanova. 1980-81 (17-12) Coach: Joe Mullaney, Jr. Date PC OPP 11/29 57 at Dartmouth 69 12/3 60 at Yale 49 12/6 79 FORDHAM 36 12/8 88 BROWN 46 12/16 77 at Harvard 43 12/21 46 at Detroit* 69 12/22 46 Cheyney State* 66 12/28 78 Long Island** 57 12/29 66 at LaSalle** 71 12/30 74 Monmouth** (OT) 70 1/9 60 MASSACHUSETTS*** 71 1/10 64 RHODE ISLAND*** 59 1/15 71 FAIRFIELD 48 1/17 73 at So.

LYNN SHEEDY 33-21 1983-85
A three-sport standout in field hockey, basketball and softball, Lynn Sheedy quickly turned her on-field success into sideline success for the Lady Friars. In her first season, Lynn coached the Lady Friars to impressive tournament victories over Miami, Duke and Monmouth enroute to the Miami Masonic Classic Tournament title. The 1979 Providence College Female Athlete of the Year, Lynn currently ranks seventh on the all-time scoring list and third on the all-time rebounding list. Lynn served as assistant coach to Joe Mullaney, Jr. for three years before assuming the head coaching role of the Lady Friars in 1983. Lynn also served as head women's softball coach at Providence. In 1985 Lynn was named Athletic Director and head women's basketball coach at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island. She was the first female athlete inducted into the Providence College Hall of Fame (February, 1990). 1983-84 (19-7) Coach: Lynn Sheedy Date PC OPP 11/30 80 YALE 52 12/2 84 at American 71 12/3 61 at George Washington 62 12/4 54 at Howard 59 12/7 85 at Brown 65 12/10 112 HARVARD 48 12/11 77 HOLY CROSS 65 12/20 70 ST.

BOB FOLEY 206-127 1985-96
In 11 years at Providence College, Bob Foley earned 206 wins, which still ranks as the most wins by any coach in the history of the women's basketball program. Six of his 11 teams finished with twenty-plus victories and four of his 11 teams, at one time, were ranked among the Top-25 in the nation. Eight of his players at Providence earned All-America honors. Foley brought Providence to a national prominence when his 1989-90 squad was the first BIG EAST school to reach the NCAA "Sweet 16." His 1990 squad won the BIG EAST Women's Basketball Championship by defeating Connecticut, 86-61, in Storrs, Conn. A 1974 Villanova graduate, Foley served as an assistant at both Colorado and Penn State prior to his arrival at Providence. In 2010, Foley returned to Providence College for a celebration honoring his 1990 BIG EAST Championship team.

The Providence College seal consists of a torch superimposed on a triangle. In symbolism, the triangle represents the Trinity. Thus is signified an education which considers human existence in relation to eternity, which goes beyond the natural order and teaches the student to live according to the higher principles of supernatural grace. The torch, always indicative of learning, is particularly emblematic of a Dominican institution since it is part of the device of one of the oldest shields of the Order. At the outset it referred to Saint Dominic himself who so magnificently conquered error by the Light of Truth, and who personally and through his followers was responsible, in no small measure, for the full flowering of the medieval universities. This tradition for learning the Friars Preachers carried to every part of the world. The flame of the torch signifies the soul of man; the light of the flame indicates his mind. The torch is always borne aloft. The flame, therefore, towers over the surrounding symbols and typifies leadership among men. The motto of the College is Veritas. It means Truth, which is the proper object of all intellectual activity.
ALMA MATER Mother of Truth, we proudly pledge to thee Undying love and steadfast loyalty. From thee we learned the wondrous work of God, His goodness, grace, and holy power; Clear has thou shown that pathways must be trod; All fearless now we brave life's hour! Though failure frown, though kindly fortune smile, Firm our advance, naught can us e'er beguile. To honor bound, to love and virtue sworn, Lift we our voices in full acclaim Our lives shall thee with noble deeds adorn; Hail Providence! We praise thy name!
-- From "Finlandia" by Jan Sibelius
