One of the finest collegiate baseball facilities in the region, Plumeri Park has been home to the William and Mary Tribe baseball team since 1999. The facility was constructed in large part due to the generous donation by Mr. Joseph J. Plumeri II in the autumn of 1996. The 1,000-seat lighted facility includes a grandstand, team locker rooms, press box, concession space, dugouts and covered and outdoor batting cages. A state-of-the-art scoreboard was added prior to the 2005 season. This fall, further improvements were made, including the addition of a 10-foot artificial turf halo behind the home plate area, bi-level wooden benches in the dugouts, natural grass base lines on each foul line and stadium padding on the backstop.

Seventh Year Head Coach
Frank Leoni enters his seventh year at the helm of the William and Mary Tribe baseball program in 2012. Loaded with talent, the Tribe has aspirations of contending for a CAA Championship. The 2011 season was highlighted by the play of the Tribe in the CAA conference schedule. The College won seven of its 10 conference series, posting a record of 16-14. Of its seven CAA series wins, four of those came on the road at Old Dominion, Delaware, Northeastern, and Towson. The four road series wins set a school record, while the 16 CAA victories tied for the most in the Leoni era, tying the 2006 team. Pitching was once again the strength of W&M in 2011, as the team posted the third-ERA in the conference (4.43) and led the league in opponent batting average (.266).

ACADEMIC ADVISING PHILOSOPHY
Sound academic advice can make the crucial difference between a coherent and exciting education that satisfies personal and professional goals and one that is fragmented and frustrating. Academic advising is recognized at the College as important to the development of its students, a natural extension of teaching and an important professional obligation on the part of its faculty.

FACILITY ENHANCEMENT UNDER DRISCOLL In his 16 years of guiding the William and Mary Athletic Department, Athletics Director Terry Driscoll has overseen a significant number of facility enhancements for a number of Tribe’s athletic programs. It total, W&M has dedicated nearly $30 million to facilities enhancements under Driscoll. Here is a look at some of the facility enhancements on Driscoll’s watch: • In the Summer of 2010, the commitment of a significant gift to fully fund the addition of MARTIN FAMILY STADIUM to Albert-Daly Field, the home of Tribe soccer and lacrosse. Named in honor of Eff and Patty Martin, and their children, Andrew, Christine and Julia ’09, the facility, which was completed in the spring of 2011, includes a 1,000-seat pavilion, which features a state-of-the-art press box, filming positions and restroom facilities. • The $11 million, 30,000-square foot JIMMYE LAYCOCK FOOTBALL CENTER (dedicated in June 2008). • $7 million specifically for men’s basketball and the naming of KAPLAN ARENA for the gift from Jim (Class of ’57) and Jane Kaplan (Class of ’56).
38
• Upgrades to ZABLE STADIUM, including a permanent lighting system (2005), new artificial playing surface (Field Turf Pro) in 2006, a new video scoreboard (2007) and a new tartan allweather synthetic track surface (2008). • The recently completed renovation to BUSCH FIELD with a new playing surface, AstroTurf 12™, underlying pad and drainage systems to create a competition surface that ranks alongside that used at the U.S. National Training Centers in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Chula Vista, California and that used at the 2008 Olympic Games. • The construction of PLUMERI PARK, home of Tribe baseball, in 1999 due in large part to the generous donation by Joseph J.

TERRY DRISCOLL Director of Athletics 16th Year at W&M
Under the steady guidance and watchful eye of Terry Driscoll, the William and Mary Athletics Department has solidified its standing as one of the nation’s preeminent broadbased programs. As Driscoll enters his 16th year as athletics director, he has overseen an unprecedented era of improvement in terms of funding and facilities while also maintaining the College’s rich history of producing well-rounded student-athletes. Driscoll oversees a program that is committed to balancing academic demands with athletic success. One of the department’s stated goals each year is to finish among the top 100 in the annual Director’s Cup rankings, which has happened in all but one of the years that Driscoll has been the director. In the last eight years, the Tribe’s program has combined for a total of 33 Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) titles. This past season, W&M claimed four CAA titles (Football, Men’s Cross Country, Men’s Soccer and Women’s Tennis). Overall, no institution in the CAA can claim more all-time league championships than William and Mary (102), and in 2011, the College became the first league program with over 100 conference titles.

Established in 1948 to create support for William and Mary Athletics, the Tribe Club is made up of alumni and friends of the College’s athletics programs. Due to the fact that W&M receives no aid from the state for its sports programs, the Tribe Club is the sole provider of scholarships for William and Mary’s student-athletes. Additionally, money raised annually by the Tribe Club helps defray a portion of the operating expenses for program support. Whether you are a former Tribe student-athlete, a proud alum, a Tribe parent or a fan of William and Mary Athletics, you are invited to join the Tribe Club. By donating to the unrestricted fund or to a specific sport, you are providing opportunities for many young men and women to experience both academic and athletic excellence here at the College. In addition to supporting our student-athletes with generous gifts, Tribe Club members receive exclusive benefits based on their giving level, as well as invitations to tailgates, pre-game and halftime events, golf outings and regional Tribe Club social events. To join, you can make a contribution to the Tribe Club online at www.TribeClub.com or send your donation to PO Box 399, Williamsburg, VA, 23187.

The Colonial Athletic Association continues to build on its reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences both athletically and academically. The CAA encompasses five of the nation’s nine largest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Atlanta. The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 12 national players of the year, 12 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 22 NCAA post-graduate scholars.
