Robert Morris University



Nate Handrahan Head Coach

Head-coach Nate Handrahan enters his secondseason as leader of the Robert Morris University women’s ice hockey team.   Taking control of the helm in 2006-07, Handrahan devised a complete turnaround of the program from its inaugural season in 2005-06. The new Colonials took the community by storm, as the team reinvented many aspects of its game as proved evidenced by their overall record, statistics and their players.   Handrahan’s guidance and leadership took the team to new heights in its second season of intercollegiate play. The squad more than doubled its 2005-06 record by finishing the season with an 11-22-2 mark, compared to the first season’s 5-24-2 record. The revived offense under Handrahan exploded on the ice, scoring a combined 205 points, an improvement by more than 116 points. The defense proved strong in shutting down opponents, allowing 116 goals compared to the previous years 131.   The former Niagara stand out’s tutelage of his players was the most evident as the team grew as a whole throughout the season. Several players came to achieve at exceptional levels including the emergence of goaltender Brianne McLaughlin, who developed into one of the premier net-minders in NCAA Division I women’s ice hockey.   Before taking over the women’s ice hockey

program, Handrahan, under head coach Derek Schooley, served as an assistant coach with the RMU men’s ice hockey team. In his duties, he assisted in the day-to-day operations of the team as well instructing on and off the ice. In his two years with the team, Handrahan helped the program to an 8-21-4 mark in its inaugural season and a 12-20-3 record in its second season.   A 2000 graduate of Niagara University, Handrahan returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach in 2001 under Dave Burkholder.

Handrahan’s duties included off-ice training, scouting, game film review, and coaching the team’s defensemen. Niagara earned an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament in 2004 after winning the College Hockey America Tournament, marking Handrahan’s second trip to the NCAA postseason.   During his collegiate career, Handrahan played in every game for the Niagara Purple Eagles over four years, leading them to a No. 6 seed in the 2000 NCAA Tournament. The former defenseman, who played under current UMass-Lowell head coach Blaise MacDonald, was a two-time All-ECAC West selection and holds the Niagara record for most consecutive games played (129). Handrahan earned the team’s “PAW” award in 1997-98 and the “Unsung Hero Award” in the Purple Eagles playoff season of 1999-2000. He finished his career with 13 goals and 66 assists for 79 points.   Following the 1999-2000 season, Handrahan was signed by the Roanoke Express of the East Coast Hockey League, where he played the remainder of the 2000 season and the 2000-2001 season.   Handrahan and his wife, Nicole, have two daughters, Haylee and Mara and are expecting a third in February. He and his family reside in Aliquippa, Pa.

Scott Spencer

Raffi Wolf

Spencer is in his second season as an assistant coach with the Colonials after serving in the same capacity with Bemidji State from 2003-06. In his three seasons with the Beavers, Spencer split duties as an assistant coach with the men’s program while overseeing the strength and conditioning of the women’s program. During that time he helped guide the men’s program to two regular-season titles, two conference tournament championships, and two appearances in the round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament.   “I’m very excited to join Coach Handrahan and the rest of the Robert Morris staff,” said Spencer. “It’s always exciting when you start a new program, and I hope to use my past coaching experiences to help with the growth and development of this young program.”   While at Bemidji, Spencer had a hand in starting the Junior A squad North Iowa Outlaws of the National American Hockey League in the 2005-06 season. In his duties with the team, he acted as an assistant coach, working directly with the defense and goaltenders, as well as heading the recruiting, overseeing the strength and conditioning of the team, and serving as an academic advisor.   Prior to his career in coaching, Spencer played four year of collegiate hockey with the ACHA Division I Minot State Beavers. In his four seasons of play, the team earned bids to the national tournament three times, was ranked in the top 10 three times, and finished as high as third in the division in 2001-02. Spencer’s accolades include winning the player’s player award in the 2000-01 season, being named captain for the 2001-02 season, and receiving honorable mention honors in the ACHA tournament in 2002.

Raffi Wolf joins the women’s ice hockey team for her second season as an assistant coach. The native of Germany brings a wealth of hockey knowledge to the team as well as an impressive resumé.   “Raffi’s experience playing at the Division I and world levels brings a new kind of attitude to the team that the girls can feed off of,” said Handrahan. “Her dedication to the sport and desire to succeed are a great addition to our young team.”   Wolf’s duties include assisting in many of the day-to-day operations, including video analysis, recruiting, strength and conditioning and overseeing the student-athletes’ academic progress in the class room.   Before joining the Colonials in 2006, Wolf spent a year in her homeland of Germany as the primary strength and conditioning coach for the ECDC Memmingen Indians of the German First Division women’s ice hockey league. During that time, she also acted as a personal trainer to many aspiring athletes, tailoring workout programs involving on and off-ice training, plyometrics and speed and strength conditioning.   Prior to taking a position behind the bench, Wolf spent nearly 13 years playing hockey, both at the World level and in the NCAA.   From 1993 to 2006, Wolf was a member of the German National team. During that time, the team made several appearances in the mid ‘90s in the European Championships and four appearances in the World Championships from 2001 to 2005. In 2002, the team made its first trip to the Winter Olympics, qualifying for the Salt Lake City games and again in 2006 in Torino.   During that time Wolf earned a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and physical education from the University of Maine. A 2003 graduate, the former Black Bear standout played four years of NCAA Division I women’s ice hockey, earning multiple ECAC Player of the Week awards and a spot on the Hockey East All-Star team at defense in 2003.

Q&A with Nate Handrahan In his first season as head coach, Nate Handrahan guided the Robert Morris University women’s ice hockey team to new heights. Under Handrahan’s guidance, the Colonials finished the season with an 11-22-2 mark in only their second season as a varsity program. Handrahan spent some time this past summer to answer a few questions on what it was like to be a new coach in a new program and his transition over to the women’s ice hockey game.

Question: When you first came to Robert Morris University, what was your first impression of the school?

Question: What was the biggest challenge for you taking over such a new program?

I thought Robert Morris was a great place to be. It has all of the qualities that I looked for in a school: small class size, diverse campus and a strong commitment to athletics. It is a small school with a great campus.

I think the biggest challenge has been creating a culture of success. You never get a second opportunity to start a program. We want to create a program that exudes success on the ice, in the classroom

2007-08 Colonial Women’s Ice Hockey

and in the community. Another hurdle we have faced is our name recognition. Being such a young program, we have to educate potential student-athletes about who we are, where we are and why we are the right fit for them. continued

Question: You have been involved in the men’s game all your life, from your playing days at Niagara to your time coaching with the Colonials men’s ice hockey team. What adjustments did you have to make coming over to the women’s side? I don’t feel I’ve had to make too many. I think the women on our team are very receptive to coaching. They want to learn and get better. They are very easy to coach and get to come together. I do feel that I have learned from them in how to let things go after something bad happens. The women are good at putting the game in perspective. Question: This past season, the women’s ice hockey team has improved in so many aspects, from its overall record to its play on the

12

ice. How do you feel the team has grown as a whole? Again, I believe that with a growing culture, we are laying the foundation for future success to be built upon. The pioneers of our program have done a great job at buying into the concepts we preach and living them on a daily basis. The players have certainly learned a lot about themselves, their limits and how much better they can be. Question: You played some tough competition last season — Wisconsin, Mercyhurst. How do you feel playing those teams has improved the players? At first glance it can appear overwhelming, but we schedule the best teams so that we can, first, see where we stack up against the best. Secondly, it gives us an opportunity

to motivate our players so that they have something to compare themselves to. We will always attempt to play the best teams in the country because that is where we want to be. Question: What expectations do you have for this upcoming season? With every season the expectations can change, but one common thread this season is that we will be in better condition than every other team we play. I don’t want that to be the cause of a poor performance. Wins and losses are good measures for standings, but our program will be concerned with all the little steps in between. It’s the attention to details that will pull us through in the end, and we will get what we deserve — and hopefully that means success.

Robert Morris University



2007-08 Outlook Since the program’s inception in 2005, the Robert Morris University women’s ice hockey team has kept the same goal throughout its two-years on the ice: pay attention to the details and success will follow. That goal stays the same as the Colonials enter the 2007-08 season.   Entering his second year as the Colonials’ skipper, head coach Nate Handrahan returns an experienced roster with 17 letter-winners, 10 of which have been with the program since its inception, plus six talented freshmen to headline the campaign this fall.   Four of the returnees who scored 12 points or less in their first season bounced back last year to mark 20-plus point campaigns for the team. From two years ago when the team finished with a 5-24-2 record, to last season when the Colonials stepped on the gas, scoring 205 total points and accumulating a 11-22-2 mark, the growth and experience playing as a team will be a key factor for the upcoming season.   Teams with historic backgrounds make up this year’s slate, including powerhouses Clarkson, Providence, Brown and two-time

Samantha Ullrich 14

defending national champion Wisconsin as well as former #1 ranked College Hockey America opponent Mercyhurst.   The women’s ice hockey team heads into this upcoming season as an underdog, only in their third season as an NCAA Division I program, but with the growth and success the team has achieved in the past, the sky’s the limit for the Colonials.

Forwards (12 returning)

One of the biggest surprises last season was the offensive emergence of the Colonial forwards. The front line produced 165 of the team’s 205 total points while four players scored 20-plus points each. Handrahan’s squad returns all 12 forwards from a season ago with the addition of three newcomers.   “We are very excited with our group of players up front. Any time you can return all of your top point producers, you should look for good things to happen,” said Handrahan. “I believe we have a very dynamic group that will be adaptable to all situations as everyone will play a role.”   Led by junior captain Kristen Miles, this year’s forward group looks to improve on the success of last season. Miles led the Colonials in scoring with 15 goals and nine assists for 24 points while becoming the first RMU women’s ice hockey forward to earn All-CHA Second Team honors in 2007. Junior assistant captain Morgan Beikirch gave the Colonials a balanced scoring threat last season, scoring 11 goals and 12 assists for 23 points, with nine of her points coming in an eight game point streak.   “We had quite a few players who had breakout seasons last year,” said Handrahan. “The challenge for them will be whether they can follow it up with another good season.”   The term breakout can be considered an understatement for the seasons junior assistant captain Alissa Dorman, junior Megan Picinic and senior Maria Olausson

had last year. The blue-line trio broke out for a combined 65 points a season ago. Dorman provided the Colonials with a team-leading 13 goals and 10 assists for 23 points, while Picinic accounted for 11 goals and 10 assists for 21 points. Olausson, the newcomer of the group, led the Colonials in assists, tallying 18 while adding three goals for 21 points.   Looking for that breakout season this year are juniors Ali Proodian, Kathryn Traynor and Angela Kost. Seeing only limited time last season, Proodian and Traynor made the most of it with a combined 15 points, while Kost’s presence on the ice and in the locker room earned her the team’s Player’s Player award last season.   On behalf of the freshmen class, no three rookies had bigger seasons than Jessica Riley, Jordan Riley and Chelsea Walkland. The Riley twins picked up 11 points each, with Jessica nabbing six goals and five assists and Jordan accumulating three goals and eight assists. Walkland became a staple on the top line, scoring five goals and adding nine assists for 14 points.   “Our newcomers should provide us with

Kristen Miles Robert Morris University


Alissa Dorman

more quality and depth to allow for more competition,” said Handrahan. “We have a very talented group of girls coming in with a tradition of success.”   Joining the Colonials this season are freshmen Kylie Rossler, Sara O’Malley and Maria Stoa. All three are proven scorers that will add plenty of fire power to the already potent offense. Two of the three led their respective teams in scoring, with Rossler leading the Regina Rebels with 19 goals and 24 assists for 43 points and O’Malley leading the PWHL’s Hamilton Hawks with 21 goals and 13 assists for 34. Stoa, who finished as a final five finalist for the Minnesota high school’s “Miss Hockey” award, has a well rounded game with a ton of poise that brings a winning tradition to the Colonials, having helped her high school team to a 57-game win streak en route to the Minnesota state title.

Defense

(Four Returning)

Defense has always been a strong point for the Colonials, and it won’t be any different this season. Handrahan’s squad returns four of its top defensemen from a season ago while adding two highly regarded freshmen, bringing the squad total to six for the upcoming campaign.   “As in years past, we have been short on quantity but high on quality,” said Handrahan. “Our players saw a lot of minutes last season 2007-08 Colonial Women’s Ice Hockey

and will be better because of the experience they gained.”   Defensive standouts junior Samantha Ullrich and sophomore Mallory Giambra return to bolster the Colonials defensive unit. Ullrich, an All-CHA selection as a freshman, has been a key to the RMU defense since her first season. In 35 games last season, the St. Louis, Mo., native provided the team with one goal and eight assists, while Giambra ranked seventh in the conference and led the Colonials in defensive scoring with two goals and nine assists from the blue-line.   After coming off a solid freshman season, sophomore Jacki Gibson returns to solidify the group with her stingy defensive tactics. Along with adding a goal and eight assists for nine points, Gibson gave the Colonials a trusty take-away threat, game-in and game out.   Returning to complete the d-unit this season is junior Jenny Monteleone. Suffering a season-ending knee injury during 2006-07, Monteleone looks to pick up where she left off with her hard-nosed physical style of play.   Adding depth and talent to the roster this season are freshmen Dy-anna Stewart and Whitney Pappas. Stewart comes to the Colonials fresh off a historic run with an Eden Prairie Hockey team that went on a 57-game winning streak en route to the 2006 Minnesota state championship as well holding an undefeated mark in conference play for three years. The former Eden Prairie captain also won a state title in lacrosse three years in a row. Pappas, a championship-caliber athlete as well, joins the team from a Belle Tire squad that won the Michigan State title in 2006 and 2007 as well as a Colorado state Championship with her former high school team in 2005. Both players look to make an immediate impact.   Goaltenders (one returning)

The goaltender position has been a constant for success for the women’s ice hockey team with junior assistant captain Brianne McLaughlin between the pipes.   “This has been one of our strengths over the past two seasons, and it needs to be again this year,” said Handrahan. “Any good team needs to have reliable goaltending.”

Brianne McLaughlin

Since 2005, McLaughlin has been nothing less than a brick wall for the Colonials. In her two seasons with the team, the junior net-minder has recorded 13 of the team’s 16 career wins while posting a career .903 save percentage. She also has received the hardware to back it up, becoming the only women’s ice hockey player to earn USCHO. com National Defensive Player of the Week honors twice and earning All-CHA honors in back-to-back seasons.   McLaughlin helped the Colonials to a 1122-2 record in 2006-07 by earning eight of the team’s 11 wins, including four shutouts. She notched a .904 save percentage while holding her goals against average to a mere 3.28.   “Last year we reduced the volume of shots our goalies had to face versus our first season, and this year we will place an emphasis on reducing quality chances which will make their job easier,” said Handrahan.   The Sheffield Village, Ohio native will have plenty of help this season as the Colonials welcome freshman Daneca Butterfield to the team. With vast success playing the position, Butterfield comes to the Colonials from a dominant Notre Dame Hounds squad. During her senior season, she posted a 1.99 goals against average while recording two shutouts in 14 games played.   “We have two very capable goalies that have the ability to keep us in every game and perhaps even steal one here and there,” said Handrahan. 15

Skate for the Cure The Skate for the Cure campaign was founded in 2006 by the women’s ice hockey institutions of College Hockey America in hopes of raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research.   The campaign, led by Mercyhurst College, Wayne State University, Niagara University and Robert Morris University, gave the players, coaches and staff a chance to inform their respected communities on how they could impact the lives of those living with and fighting breast cancer everyday.   Each school designated one game during the regular season to the Skate for the Cure campaign, in which the teams would dedicate all the funds collected during the season to the Glimmer of Hope Foundation. Led by Julie and Alan Faneca, Glimmer of Hope has become one of the fastest and most successful breast cancer foundations in the city of Pittsburgh. The foundation has raised nearly a million dollars and has sold over 14,000 teardrop-shaped pins, honoring the hope all women have in finding a cure, to the American Cancer Society.   The Robert Morris University women’s ice hockey team dedicated Dec. 1, 2006 as its Skate for the Cure night. In front of more than 700 fans, the Colonials took on defending national champion Wisconsin at the RMU

countless survivors realize they are not alone in their battle with breast cancer.   In their third season as an NCAA Division I women’s ice hockey program, the Colonials will play host to the St. Cloud State Huskies at the RMU Island Sports Center on October 26 in part of the second annual Skate for the Cure campaign.

Robert Morris University


Hockey at Robert Morris University Although 2004-2005 was the start of NCAA Division I hockey at Robert Morris University, the Colonials are not new to success on the ice. RMU hockey teams have had a home on Neville Island since the mid-1990s playing on the club hockey level in the Western Pennsylvania College Hockey Association and the American College Hockey Association.   These teams didn’t just compete, they won. The club team ruled College Hockey East from 1998 to 2000, with championships in 1998 and 2000 and second-place finishes in 1999 and 2001.   2001 marked the first season of ACHA membership for the Colonials. Again, it didn’t take long for RMU to find room at the top of the standings.

2007-08 Colonial Women’s Ice Hockey

The Colonials claimed the 2002 ACHA Division III National Championship, prompting the RMU administration to take a closer look at the success of the hockey program. On Oct. 1, 2003, late RMU Director of Athletics Susan Hofacre, Ph.D., announced that the University was going to add men’s ice hockey as a varsity sport to start in the 2004-2005 school year.   On the ice, the success continued for the Colonials with another appearance in the ACHA Division III National Tournament in 2003.   In the summer of 2003, RMU purchased the Island Sports Center on Neville Island from the Neville Land Company, a subsidiary of the Hillman Company. For the 2003-2004 season,

the popularity of hockey on campus prompted two on-campus club teams, one to play in the ACHA’s Division I level and one on the Division III level.   With the sudden growth of popularity in hockey at RMU, Susan Hofacre Ph.D. announced on March 31, 2004, that women’s ice hockey would be the newest addition to Robert Morris University and would take stage in the 2005-2006 school year. With the addition of women’s ice hockey, Robert Morris would become only the second school in the state of Pennsylvania to offer a Division I men’s or women’s ice hockey program, second only to Mercyhurst College of Erie, Pa.

Hockey in Pittsburgh

NCAA Division I hockey at Robert Morris University is the latest addition to a long tradition of hockey in Pittsburgh. Hockey in the Golden Triangle has a tradition of success, and the Colonials only hope to add to that tradition. Pittsburgh had the first amateur hockey team in the United States in 1897 and was a charter member of the International Professional Hockey League, the world’s first pro league, which began in 1904. The Pittsburgh club was one of five cities – Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.; Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.; Calumet, Mich.; and Hougton, Mich. – to form the IPHL. The IPHL disbanded after the 1907 season and the city would not see another pro team until 1925, when the Pittsburgh Pirates joined the National Hockey League in 1925. The stock market crash in 1929 left the Pirates cashstrapped, and the team moved to Philadelphia where it would fold just one year later. 60

In between the professional teams of the IPHL and NHL, the Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets and the Pittsburgh Hornets dominated the United States Amateur Hockey Association. The Yellow Jackets ruled the Western Division while the Hornets became the top team in the Eastern Division, and the teams met for the league championship in the 1924-25 season. After the Yellow Jackets defeated the Hornets in that 1925 championship tilt, the team entered the NHL and changed its name to the Pirates. Another Yellow Jackets team appeared in the city in 1931-32 as a member of the International-American Hockey League, but it folded after the 1932-33 season. After a one-year hiatus, the Shamrocks appeared for one season to be followed by another team with the name Hornets in 1936-37. The Hornets enjoyed a 20-year run in Pittsburgh, winning three Calder Cup Trophies – the championship trophy of the

American Hockey League – in the 1950s. The Hornets folded after the 1955-56 season only to reappear in 1961, winning a division title in 1964 and their fourth Calder Cup in 1967, before disappearing once again from the world of hockey. That was the first season of the Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL, a team that came into the national spotlight in 1984 when it drafted Mario Lemieux. The Penguins improved in the league, eventually winning back-to-back Stanley Cup Championships in 1991 and 1992. The surge in popularity of the Penguins carried into the junior ranks with the formation of the Pittsburgh Hornets and Pittsburgh Forge. In addition, high school programs began to pop up all around the area in addition to club programs at local colleges and universities. RMU became the first school in the region to offer NCAA Division I hockey in 2004-05.

Dell’Omo, Ph.D., president of Robert Morris University, presides over one of Pennsylvania’s most innovative independent institutions of higher learning. He began his tenure as president on Aug. 1, 2005.   “I have followed the success of Robert Morris University from afar, but now I look forward to leading this excellent university,” said Dell’Omo upon his appointment by the Board of Trustees. “Robert Morris has a strong foundation and rich heritage. Now, it is my job to lead in a way that builds upon this history. I am thrilled to have this opportunity.”   “Dr. Dell’Omo is the right person to continue the growth and academic excellence Robert Morris University has experienced during the last 16 years,” said Joseph W.

Robert Morris University



Craig Coleman, M.D. Director of Athletics Robert Morris University stayed in house to hire its latest director of athletics, naming Craig Coleman, M.D., to the position Feb. 15, 2005. Coleman, a native of Philadelphia who coaches RMU’s softball team, began his new responsibilities May 1, 2005, and enters his third academic year in 2007-08. He replaced the late Susan K. Hofacre, Ph.D, who passed away in January 2005.   Under Coleman’s watch, the Department of Athletics has continued to expand and gain national attention. During the 2005-06 academic year, Robert Morris placed a total of nine student-athletes covering six sports on ESPN The Magazine Academic AllAmerica District II teams, the most in school history. He has overseen the development of a new Robert Morris athletics logo and mascot as well as the launching of the new official website for Colonial athletics at www.rmucolonials.com. Coleman also hired Mike Rice as the seventh basketball coach in RMU Division I history and the addition of field hockey head coach Olivia Netzler.   All the while, Coleman has built a winning softball program at Robert Morris over the past 17 years. During that period, RMU has won three Northeast Conference regular-season championships and six NEC Tournament titles. In 2005, Robert Morris finished with a league record of 17-3 to claim the regular-season championship, then swept through the NEC Tournament to claim its sixth title and advance to its first NCAA Tournament.   “As the longest-tenured coach at Robert Morris University, Craig has proven with his softball teams what it means to have a consistent and successful program both on the field and in the classroom,” said former Robert Morris University President Edward A. Nicholson, Ph.D. “His successful record will be an asset as he takes over as our new athletic director.”

Likewise, Coleman believes the timing was perfect for him to lead the athletic program at Robert Morris University.   “The time was right for me to make this professional change,” Coleman said at the time of his hiring. “I have always had a passion for athletics and for 15 years I held management positions in health care. As the athletic director, I can now merge these two positions into one that really excites me.”   From 1988 through 2005, Coleman worked as an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School Medicine. From 1983 to 1989, he was the attending psychiatrist at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic in Pittsburgh.   Coleman earned his medical degree from the The Pennsylvania State University School of Medicine in Hershey in 1983. In 1979, he earned an undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania.   At RMU, Coleman turned a perennial losing softball program into NEC

champions. Prior to his arrival as head coach in 1991, the Colonials posted a record of 19-45 in the previous three seasons. During his 17 years as head coach, the Colonials have posted an overall record of 408-368-4 (.526), including a record of 171-69-1 (.712) in conference play. In 2007, he garnered his 400th career victory in game one of a doubleheader sweep of Akron thanks to a 3-2 victory. He guided the Colonials to an overall record of 119-62 (.657) and four conference championships in his first four years, and in 1994, his team received the first national ranking in RMU history – regardless of sport – when his team was ranked as high as No. 23 in the USA Today / National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA).   Coleman’s success as head softball coach has come not only on the field, but in the classroom. His players include nine District II Academic All-Americans, two NEC Spring Scholar-Athletes for softball (Stephani Ehrenfeld in 2000 and Nicole Aloi in 2001) and numerous NEC All-Academic Honor Roll selections. During the 1999-2000 academic year, RMU achieved the second-highest cumulative team grade point average among all NCAA Division I softball programs according to the NFCA, finishing with a 3.409 grade point average, behind only Louisiana Tech (3.571).   Prior to his appointment as head coach at Robert Morris, Coleman compiled a record of 359-158 (.694) in 16 seasons coaching summer softball, mostly with the Pittsburgh Patriots 18-and-under traveling fast-pitch team from 1986-91. He guided the Patriots of the Amateur Softball Association to three national tournaments in his final four years at the helm.

Robert Morris University


RMU Athletics Robert Morris University Athletics stands for success. Since 1990, the Colonials have claimed 23 Northeast Conference regular-season championships and 25 league tournament titles among 23 sports, including eight regular-season titles in volleyball, five regular-season championships in football, five NEC Tournament titles in softball and three NEC Tournament championships in men’s soccer.   The 2006-07 athletic season could arguably go down as one of the greatest in RMU’s Division I history, as a number of team and individual accomplishments highlight the year. The Colonial women’s basketball team completed one of the greatest turnarounds in Division I history by claiming its third NEC Tournament championship with a 68-66 victory over Sacred Heart. The win garnered the program its first-ever NCAA Tournament bid, where the Colonials fell to N.C. State in Raleigh, N.C. The turnaround came just three years after finishing with just three wins during the 2003-04 campaign.   The Robert Morris men’s ice hockey team pulled off the biggest upset in school history by garnering a 4-2 victory at Notre Dame, which entered the game ranked No. 2 in the country. The men’s basketball team, meanwhile, got off to its best start in school history with a 4-0 mark en route to its second straight winning season.   Individually, senior Stephanie Kuhn of the RMU women’s outdoor track and field team qualified for the NCAA Championships in the javelin. Kuhn, the only student-athlete to qualify for the NCAA Championships in track and field, turned the trick twice in her four years on the team, also accomplishing the feat as a freshman. Off the field, a total of six student-athletes were named to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District II Teams, while senior Ray Gensler of the football team was named an Academic All-American for the second straight year, the first student-athlete in school history to earn Academic All-America honors twice.   The 2006-07 athletics campaign followed a 2005-06 season in which the men’s soccer team added to its illustrious history by downing No. 1 seed Monmouth, 3-2 in overtime, to claim its third NEC Tournament title and first since 1994. The Robert Morris softball squad, under the guidance of director of athletics Craig Coleman, also captured its fourth regular-season championship, tying Long Island for the top spot with a 17-3 league record.   During the 2004-05 athletics campaign, the Colonial softball squad captured its third NEC regular-season title with a 17-3 league record, then swept through the NEC Tournament for its fifth tournament title and first appearance in the NCAA Tournament in school history.   The success RMU athletics has had in recent years followed the seasons before it, as the Colonial football team finished its 2000 season a perfect 10-0, the first perfect campaign for any sport at Robert Morris. In the process, the team won its second straight NCAA I-AA MidMajor National Championship according to Don Hansen’s National Football Weekly Gazette. The program celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2003 and moved into its own oncampus football stadium, named Joe Walton Stadium in honor of the program’s only head coach, in 2005.   The women’s crew team claimed two straight national

2007-08 Colonial Women’s Ice Hockey

championships in the varsity four classification at the prestigious Dad Vail Regatta in Philadelphia, Pa., in 2000 and 2001.   The trend of success by Colonial athletics in the new millennium should come as no surprise. Five teams achieved national rankings during the 1990s, with the 1994 women’s softball team reaching No. 23, the 1994 men’s soccer team peaking at No. 16, the 1996 football squad finishing second in the NCAA I-AA non-scholarship ranks, the 1997 football team placing third and the 1999 football team placing first.   Robert Morris has sent 15 teams to NCAA Tournaments since 1982. Men’s basketball and volleyball have made an NEC record five appearances, with men’s basketball qualifying in 1982, 1983, 1989, 1990 and 1992 and volleyball in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. The Colonial men’s soccer team has also appeared in the NCAA Tournament three times (1993, 1994 and 2005).   Robert Morris University has also had several athletes continue their athletic career in professional sports. The late Tim Hall (1996) was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the sixth round of the 1996 NFL Draft as a running back. Then, in 2001, former offensive lineman Hank Fraley (1999) became the starting center for the Philadelphia Eagles after being signed to the practice squad during the 2000 season. He currently is the starting center for the Cleveland Browns.   Men’s soccer player Musa Shannon (1997) was drafted by the Tampa Bay Mutiny of Major League Soccer as the 28th overall pick in the 1997 MLS College Draft. Five other former Colonial men’s soccer players have played professionally, as Steve Bell (1997) and Doug Petras (1994) saw action with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, while Rhian Dodds (2003) plays for the Kilmarnock Football Club of the Scottish Premier League. Said Ali (2004) and Jamie Dodds (2004) signed with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL Pro Soccer League and the Toronto Lynx of the A-League, respectively, in 2004. Following Ali and Jamie Dodds in 2005 was Joe Di Buono (2005), who was drafted by the Vancouver Whitecaps of the USL and the Cleveland Force of the MISL.   Athletes are not the only ties that RMU athletics has to the professional ranks. Head football coach Joe Walton came to the Colonials after 35 years of National Football League experience, including seven years as the head coach of the New York Jets. Alongside Walton is another former NFL coach in Dan Radakovich, who spent 18 years as an NFL assistant and is currently RMU’s assistant head coach. Joining the football coaching staff in the summer of 2003 was John Banaszak, who became the third member of the staff with a background in the NFL. Banaszak, the former head coach at Washington & Jefferson College, was a member of Pittsburgh Steelers when the team won Super Bowls X, XIII and XIV.   Former Colonial men’s soccer head coach John Kowalski also worked as the head coach for the Pittsburgh Spirit of the Major Indoor Soccer League, the Tampa Bay Mutiny of the MLS and the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the A-League. He has come full circle, as he is now head coach of the Colonial women’s team, a program that began in 1992.

Robert Morris University


Robert Morris University Academics The Robert Morris University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is not all about winning on the field or on the court. Academics is as much a triumph as the athletic competitions themselves. Robert Morris University is committed to the total development of its student-athletes.   The 2006-07 academic year followed the trend set before it as 44 Colonials were named to the Northeast Conference Fall Academic Honor Roll, 21 to the NEC Winter Academic Honor Roll and 59 to the NEC Spring Academic Honor Roll. A pair of individuals were also named Student-Athlete of the Year by the NEC in the respective sports, as Ray Gensler garnered the honor in football and Jeff Witmyer in men’s indoor track & field.   Senior Lisa Jaszka of the volleyball squad, meanwhile, was honored with the inaugural Northeast Conference Scholar-Athlete of the

2007-08 Colonial Women’s Ice Hockey

Year. The award, sponsored by the league’s Faculty Athletic Representatives, is bestowed upon the NEC male and female student-athlete who has exhausted his or her eligibility, graduated and has posted the highest grade point average at the conclusion of the academic year. Jaszka carried a perfect 4.0 GPA as an elementary education major. In addition, Jaszka was one of 25 RMU student-athletes named to the inaugural NEC Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll. The 25 members from Robert Morris were the most from any league institutuion.   Additionally, Robert Morris had six studentathletes named to the ESPN The Magazine District II Academic All-America Team. Gensler was joined by Taryn Reichard (women’s soccer), Mark Klabnik (men’s soccer), Lisa Jaszka and Janette Schneider (volleyball) and Jace Buzek (men’s ice hockey). Gensler went on to become the fourth Colonial in as

many years to garner Academic All-American honors, being named to the 2007 first team on defense, a year after taking home second accolades.   In all, 14 of the University’s 23 squads finished with team GPAs of 3.0 or higher in the 2006-07 academic year, and nearly 65 percent of all RMU’s 550 student-athletes posted a 3.0 or higher grade point average.   The reason for RMU’s success in the classroom is simple. Colonial student-athletes receive the very best support when it comes to their academic curriculum. Evening study halls are monitored by the department’s student services personnel, and academic counseling is available from both the athletic department and the University’s enrollment management office. Graduation is the goal, and Robert Morris University strives to ensure its student-athletes attain that lofty goal.

STARS (Student-Athletes Reaching for Success)

The Department of Athletics at RMU, in coordination with the Offices of Residence Life, Student Affairs and Career Services, has established the STARS program. The goal of the program is to coordinate and provide University services and programs in order to enhance the quality of the studentathlete experience at RMU. The STARS program includes: 1. Academic Development Services are in place to support student-athletes in their academic pursuit with the goal of having each student-athlete graduate. Tutoring is provided free to student-athletes, and the Athletic Department monitors academic progress throughout each term. Each student-athlete is assigned a faculty advisor and counselor, and advising is also available through the Athletic Department. High academic performance is recognized with a T-shirt award program and the end-of-theyear team and individual academic rewards. Early registration and missed classed policies help student-athletes coordinate the demands of athletics and academics.

70

2. Personal Development Participating in intercollegiate athletics places many demands on studentathletes. At RMU, a variety of programs and services exist to make studentathletes more aware of, and capable of dealing with, issues such as time management, health and nutrition, stress management, fiscal responsibility and interpersonal relationships. The goal is to provide student-athletes with information that helps them make informed choices.

4. Service Individuals live within a larger community. RMU student-athletes, coaches and administrators participate in activities that contribute to the community. Past activities have included reading to elementary school students, visiting retirement homes, participating in youth sports clinics and cleaning of highways.

3. Career Development One of the expected outcomes of a college education is the successful movement of a graduate into a career. Career guidance at RMU is provided through academic departments. At the Career Center, student-athletes can receive career counseling and participate in seminars related to job searches, resume writing and mock interviews. A job fair brings over 140 employers to the RMU campus each fall.

Joe Walton Stadium

Built over the course of 13 months, Joe Walton Stadium is the latest addition to the Robert Morris University Moon Township campus. The Colonials played their inaugural season at Joe Walton Stadium in 2005 and defeated Butler, 49-13, Saturday, Sept. 17, in the inaugural game.   Built at a cost of $10 million by Mosites Construction Company and owning a capacity of 3,000, Joe Walton Stadium features a 36,000-square-foot athletic administration building that holds office space for the football coaching staff, athletic administration and Olympic sport coaches. Also included in the building is a state-ofthe-art weight room, equipment room, two locker rooms, three classrooms, lobby, press box and University box.   A special feature with the offices located in Joe Walton Stadium is the use

72

of Landro Play Analyzer, a presentation device used to study game videos. Up to 50,000 plays or 115 games can be randomly accessed without ever having

to use video tapes or DVD’s. Designed especially for coaches, it allows them to instantly jump to plays without having to use video tape.   The Joe Walton Stadium field covers

97,000 square feet, with the surface field turf. The turf consists of sand, rubber and film polyethylene grasslike fabric with secondary backing of high polyurethane. The field is lined for both football and soccer and will also host field hockey and lacrosse games. The scoreboard for the stadium was provided by Institutional Specialties, a distributor of Daktronics, located in Pittsburgh, Pa.   The music and public address system was provided by Hollowood Music and Sound of McKees Rocks, Pa.

The portal includes 160 pavers to recognize donors to the campaign to raise funds for Joe Walton Stadium, while the plaza will include four kiosks, one each for tickets, concessions, the Barnes & Noble bookstore and alumni and special events.

Robert Morris University


Charles L. Sewall Center for Leadership The Charles L. Sewall Center for Leadership, dedicated in 1985 and named for the man who served Robert Morris University as president from 1967 until 1989, is located on the Moon Township campus. With a capacity of 3,056, the Sewall Center is home to Colonial volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball and indoor track and field programs and also houses office space for men’s and women’s soccer.   The Sewall Center is also a regional and national conference center for the training and development of business executives, serving as a focal point for providing educational services to adult learners. It also furnishes the community with a conveniently located center for seminars.   The facility also houses a 200-meter track, a full-service training room, four locker rooms, office space, an equipment room and a media room. After the Colonial basketball seasons end, the Sewall Center serves as

home to Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (WPIAL) high school basketball playoff games as well as the annual summer Five-Star Basketball Camp.   Excitement at the Sewall Center came to a head in the springs of 1989, 1990 and 1992 when the Northeast Conference men's basketball tournament was held there, and the Colonials won the title each time. The facility also housed the same event in 1986.   The dedication of the Sewall Center was the culmination of a $6 million campaign

launched by the University in June of 1984. Seventeen months later, the inaugural game drew 2,880 fans as the Colonials fell to Duquesne University, 80-65. Nov. 30, 1985. Nevertheless, the enthusiastic response by the community facilitated the successful completion of the campaign.   The idea for a multi-purpose facility was conceived in a series of meetings between the University and community leaders. Business and industry representatives indicated the critical need for a center for executive training and development. At the same time, Moon Township business and civic leaders spoke of their need for a conveniently located center for community events.   The partnership continues through the Charles L. Sewall Center Advisory Committee, comprised of community leaders, and confirms the University's fruitful relationship with the community it serves.

North Athletic Complex Built at a cost of $2.5 million and opened in the fall of 1998, the North Athletic Complex on RMU’s Moon Township campus serves as the home of the Robert Morris men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis and softball teams. The North Athletic Complex was built after clearing a 24-acre parcel of land that was nothing more than a heavily wooded hilltop. it now consists of two natural grass soccer fields (one for games and the other for practices), nine tennis / basketball courts that are fenced and lighted, a softball field and a pavilion that features a covered area for

2007-08 Colonial Women’s Ice Hockey

picnics, restrooms and storage areas. As well as hosting various Division I athletic events, the North Athletic Complex is used for intramurals and group functions. Five-Star Basketball Camp, which has hosted its annual

summer camp at Robert Morris University for 28 years, uses the North Athletic Complex each summer to showcase some of the nation’s top high school talent to college coaches. The North Athletic Complex hosted its first Northeast Conference Championship in the fall of 2003, when Central Connecticut State claimed the women’s soccer title. In the spring of 2005, Robert Morris hosted the NEC championship for softball, and the host Colonials went on to claim their sixth league title thanks to a 6-4 victory over Wagner.

RMU Department of Athletics Mission Statement The Department of Athletics at Robert Morris University provides opportunities for our student-athletes to receive a quality experience both in the classroom and in intercollegiate athletic competition. Athletics enhances the intellectual, social, and personal development of our student-athletes, helping them to grow through their experience at the University and to prepare for meaningful careers and lives. Toward this purpose, the Department of Athletics promotes academic achievement, good sporting and ethical conduct, and equitable opportunity for students and staff, including women and minorities. The guiding principle of the University is to focus on academics first; therefore we view our successes based not on wins and losses but as linked to the educational mission of the University and the welfare of our student-athletes.
