Dear Member of the RMU Athletics family, As has become an annual custom, we are pleased to present the 2016-17 Department of Athletics Annual Report. In the pages that follow, you will find a very long list of impressive accomplishments by our excellent student-athletes and coaches, supported by our superb staff and University faculty. This marks the culmination of so much hard work by so many people, and we are proud of each and every accomplishment noted. Of particular significance is that our studentathletes have proven once again that success in athletic competition can be accomplished without sacrificing excellent achievement in the classroom and while maintaining a commitment to community service. Sending two teams to the NCAA Tournament in volleyball and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball, the fourth consecutive year a pair of programs have accomplished the feat, are examples of a University and Athletic Department that continues to grow and thrive. Finally, while this report outlines all of the tangible results attained by our studentathletes, coaches, and staff, the long-term benefit to our student-athletes of their athletic experience can best be measured by their success in their careers and/or post-graduate studies. Combined with the outstanding education and student life opportunities that Robert Morris University affords, the 450+ student-athletes at RMU are all winners! Sincerely,

Craig S. Coleman, M.D. Director of Athletics

Plans call for the center to open in January 2019. “With a new venue of this quality and size, RMU cements its status as a university on the rise,” said RMU President Chris Howard. “Not only is it a significant regional asset, it’s a facility worthy of the success for our athletics programs and reflective of our status as a nationally ranked university. This is a great day for the Colonial Nation.” Continued ➞

“UPMC is thrilled to be a leading partner with Robert Morris University in this exciting endeavor that will provide long-lasting health and wellness benefits to not only the RMU community but also to people and businesses in this entire region. We applaud and share RMU’s commitment to provide our communities with nothing less than world-class care and facilities,” said Jeffrey Romoff, president and CEO of UPMC. As part of a broader strategic collaboration with RMU, UPMC will become the exclusive provider of sports medicine to the university’s 16 NCAA Division I sports programs, and the UPMC Health Plan will administer the university’s employees’ health insurance benefits. UPMC already provides health care to RMU students at UPMC MyHealth@School, an on-campus health and wellness center that opened in the fall. The UPMC Events Center will bring the Airport Corridor an attractive new venue for public speakers, conventions, expos, concerts, graduation ceremonies and other family entertainment options. It also will host the university’s annual convocation and commencement ceremonies, which have outgrown their current location. All three teams that will play at Peoples Court — men’s and women’s basketball and women’s volleyball — have won the Northeast Conference title and advanced to the NCAA tournament in the last three years.

The McPhail Boathouse The Robert Morris University Department of Athletics debuted its latest facility Oct. 22, 2016, as the McPhail Boathouse received its grand opening at the RMU Island Sports Center on Neville Island. The boathouse is named in honor of former head coach Midge McPhail, who passed away in September of 2015 after a battle with lung disease caused by complications of Sjögren’s Syndrome. She served as RMU’s head rowing coach from 2006 to 2015. “Today is an exciting day for our program,” head coach Nelle Stahura said. “Not only do we honor Midge and all she did for this program with the opening of this boathouse, but we have a place to call home for our student-athletes. The future for RMU rowing is extremely bright.” McPhail’s daughter, Jada, officially opened the boathouse by cutting the ribbon as part of the ceremony. She was also joined by her father,

Jimmie Burks, members of the McPhail family, RMU Director of Athletics Craig Coleman, M.D., RMU Senior Associate Athletic Director Marty Galosi, RMU Associate Athletic Director Don Smith, RMU rowing alumni and current studentathletes.

RMU worked with Neville Township, Pa., to develop an attractive building design that compliments the entrance to the township coming across the Coraopolis Bridge and provides an added feature to the RMU Island Sports Center. RBA Architects provided the design of the facility, HF Lenze served as the civil engineer responsible for site development and landscape design and Tedco built the complex. The McPhail Boathouse provides improvements and enhancements for RMU rowing, produces a sustainable home for the program and its student-athletes as well as enhancing recruiting capabilities. Included in the boathouse is an improved access path and dock that allows student-athletes to effectively transport boats to the water and back. The access path runs through the Paradise Lanes property, with the Saunier family providing a model partner.

A Bright Future Rookies of the Year

During the 2016-17 season, a total of five student-athletes garnered the top rookie honor in their respective sport. In the Northeast Conference (NEC), Lilly Harnish (outdoor track & field), Max Palmer (golf), Annie Sachs (women’s lacrosse) and Ryan Smith (men’s lacrosse) took home the accolade. In addition, Jaycee Gebhard was selected as the College Hockey America (CHA) Rookie of the Year for women’s ice hockey. It marks the most rookie honors in a single season in school history.

NCAA Frozen Four To Return To Pittsburgh In 2021 Colonials will host event for the second time The NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Committee has chosen the city of Pittsburgh as the site of the 2021 NCAA Frozen Four, it was announced April 18, 2017. Robert Morris University, in conjunction with VisitPittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL), will serve as the host of the event at PPG Paints Arena. “It’s extremely exciting to be able to bring the NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Frozen Four back to Pittsburgh in 2021,” RMU Director of Athletics Craig Coleman, M.D., said. “Given the success we had with the event in 2013 and the positive response we got from the NCAA and the local and regional communities, our expectation is to put on another first-class event that everyone can be proud of. Our strong partnerships with both VisitPittsburgh and PPG Paints Arena continue to help make the city an attractive site to host the NCAA Frozen Four.” The 2021 NCAA Men’s Frozen Four at PPG Paints Arena will take place April 8 and 10, 2021. “We’re very excited to have the Frozen Four

return to Pittsburgh,” RMU head men’s ice hockey coach Derek Schooley said. “This is the premier event of college hockey and will bring fans from across the country to the city of Pittsburgh. Along with numerous exciting wins, hosting the Frozen Four is another feather in the cap of Robert Morris hockey.”

The 2021 NCAA Frozen Four will mark the second time RMU has hosted the event in Pittsburgh. The first occasion came in 2013, when Yale claimed its first national championship as the No. 4 seed out of the West with a 4-0 victory over Quinnipiac at CONSOL Energy Center April 13, 2013. Yale’s first national title in men’s ice

hockey marked the first time a major national championship in NCAA history was decided in Pittsburgh. A total of 35,612 fans attended the three games. In addition to Yale and Quinnipiac, the 2013 NCAA Frozen Four also featured St. Cloud State and UMass Lowell. Quinnipiac, the No. 1 seed in the East, defeated St. Cloud State, 4-1, April 11, to advance to the national championship game, while Yale defeated UMass Lowell, 3-2, in overtime. Each of the four teams that made up the 2013 NCAA Frozen Four were seeking their first national championship, just the second time in tournament history and first since 1958. Andrew Miller of Yale was named the 2013 Most Outstanding Player as he helped guide the Bulldogs to the first national championship for a member of ECAC Hockey since 1989. In addition, the NCAA Frozen Four features a number of activities surrounding the event, including Frozen Fest and autograph sessions.
