JOHN F. WILEY STADIUM
www.waynesburgsports.com
By Danny Reed Class of 2007, Fullback (2003-06)
Over the course of more than 150 years, Waynesburg has enjoyed a bevy of athletic success, of which the football field‘s namesake, John F. Wiley, was an integral part. Dr. Wiley graduated from Waynesburg in 1941 and etched his place in the history of college football, as he was the starting fullback for the Yellow Jackets in the first-ever televised football game against Fordham University in 1939. Ten years after he graduated, Wiley returned to coach and achieved a 22-9-1 record from 1951-54. The current John F. Wiley Stadium was officially dedicated on Oct. 26, 1995, and has since received numerous renovations, making it a premier athletic site. In 1997, the Frank Wolf Fieldhouse, honoring the school’s all-time winningest coach, was constructed beyond the west end zone and houses the game day dressing room and visitor’s locker room. For the 1999 season, the stadium was renovated to hold a 4,000 seating capacity and became a five-story structure with the addition of the Mo Scarry Skybox, in honor of the former coach and NFL player and coach. Scarry holds the distinction of being a defensive line coach for the 1972 Super Bowl Champion Miami Dolphins who finished 17-0, the only NFL team to Frank Wolf Fieldhouse was constructed in 1997. ever have an undefeated season. In March of 2006, it was announced that the field’s grass surface would be uprooted for the installation of the latest FieldTurf 2 1/2” monofilament synthetic turf by Amity Asphalt Paving Inc. of Houston, Pa. The new surface was completed in time for the start of the 2006 football season. Since the field was renamed in 1995, John F. Wiley Stadium bared witness to two conference championship teams and countless recordbreaking events. On Oct. 17, 1998, Waynesburg clinched a three-way share of its first PAC Championship defeat- FieldTurf at Wiley Stadium made its debut on ing Grove City, 33-13. However, on September 9, 2006, against the College of Wooster. Nov. 15, 2003, the Yellow Jackets clinched their first outright PAC title in school history, defeating Westminster, 34-20. The victory also earned Waynesburg its first-ever berth in the NCAA Division III national playoffs. 4
JOHN F. WILEY STADIUM (CONT.) Individual records have also fallen, beginning with the legendary performance of Grove City’s two-time All-American fullback R.J. Bowers on Oct. 14, 2000. In that contest, Bowers broke former two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin’s record of 31 consecutive 100-yard games, rushing 47 times for 266 yards and three touchdowns in a 32-29 victory in four overtimes. Bowers also became the NCAA’s all-time leader in rushing touchdowns with 84. Waynesburg running back Ryan Abels broke a record of his own on Sept. 23, 2006, becoming the school’s all-time leading rusher in a 29-18 win over Grove City. Abels finished his career with 3,985 yards, 688 yards more than former record-holder Mike Stout. Seven years ago, the Yellow Jackets made their own impact on both the school record books and the national statistical rankings. In 2007, running back Robert Heller set new school standards for rushing yards in a season (2,176) and touchdown runs (26). Those marks were also the best in all of Division III. On defense, defensive end Mike Czerwien rolled up a whopping 23 sacks and 34.5 tackles for loss. Both numbers were not only new school records, they also were the best in the country. Records have fallen, players have come and gone and memories have been made, making it an undeniable fact that John F. Wiley Stadium has become a definitive homefield advantage for the Yellow Jackets.
THE 12TH MAN - JACKET EXPRESS
www.waynesburgsports.com
Wiley Stadium gives Waynesburg perhaps the most unique in-game feature in the region as the Norfolk Southern frequently rolls by, affectionately nicknamed the “Jacket Express.” Not only does the express provide opposing offenses with constant headaches, but it is also indicative of the importance of the coal mining industry in southwestern Pennsylvania.

2014 SEASON OUTLOOK In 2013, the Waynesburg University football team continued its tradition of consistency under 10th-year head coach Rick Shepas by going 7-4 overall, 5-3 in the Presidents’ Athletics Conference (PAC) and qualifying for an Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) bowl game for a third-straight season. The Yellow Jackets have boasted overall winning percentages of .500 or above for the past eight seasons, and their streak of three-straight years of reaching the postseason is the longest of any PAC member. This past fall was also the last hurrah for two of the most dominant defensive players in recent program history, as seniors Bryan Gary (safety) and Brandon Fedorka (defensive end) played their final snaps of collegiate football. However, this past fall witnessed the emergence of not only the best quarterback in the conference, but one of the top passers in all of Division III as then-junior Carter Hill shredded opposing defenses and the Waynesburg records books. With nine starters back on offense, the points are expected to come in bunches for the Jacket offense. However, some new names will need to emerge on defense to soften the blow of not only Fedorka and Gary, but four other starters on that side of the ball. The Orange and Black will also be searching for replacements at kicker and punter before the schedule kicks off in September. THE OFFENSE
The Orange and Black returns three of its top four running backs, nine of its top 10 receivers and four starting offensive linemen to provide Hill with one of the most accomplished and veteran supporting casts in the league. If everyone stays healthy, the Jacket offense could be one of the best in Division III.
Nowhere else in the PAC is there a surer bet at starting quarterback than Hill, who is going into his second full season as the man under center, and third overall. Last year, the first-team All-PAC honoree and third-team D3football. com 2013 All-South Region selection put together one of the greatest years in program history. He set new program single-season program standards for passing yards (3,102), touchdown passes (28), pass completions (292) and pass attempts (473), while throwing just six interceptions. Hill’s 64 pass attempts in Waynesburg’s week-10 loss at Washington & Jefferson set a new single-game benchmark. The Columbiana, Ohio native was a four-time Corvias ECAC Division III Southwest Offensive Player of the Week and a two-time PAC Offensive Player of the Week. Waynesburg also has the luxury of a veteran backup behind their star in the form of senior Dave O’Brien, who has appeared in nine games over the past two seasons. Last year, he completed three-of-six passes for 20 yards. The Jackets are also expecting to fill out their depth chart with several young returning arms. Sophomores Kevin Barnes, Jr., Brandon DeCarlo, Chris Shortley and Cole Long are all expected back to battle it out for the third spot. RUNNING BACKS Last year, the running attack took a bit of a back seat to its high powered passing attack. However, Yellow Jacket ball carriers were still able to put up 1,138 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground. The health of senior Jerry Lawman could play a big role in a more balanced Jacket offense in 2014. Despite missing two games with injuries, Lawman still led his team with 431 yards on 105 carries (47.9 yards per game). The highlight of his season came when he toted the ball 25 times for 109 yards and a touchdown against Bethany. Senior Jake Forsythe, two transferred from California University of Pa. prior to the 2013 campaign, led all rushers with five touchdowns while rushing for 232 yards on 66 carries. Yet another senior, Willie Leavell did a bit of everything for the Yellow Jackets this past fall. He totaled 23 carries for 99 yards and a touch-

From the line, to the backfield, to the receiving corps, nearly all of last year’s offense is back and looking to build off a 2013 campaign that saw the team score 28.9 points per game, which was good for fourth in the PAC. Waynesburg did most of its damage through the air, where it averaged 283.8 yards per game, which was the second highest average in the conference.
QUARTERBACKS
12
SEASON OUTLOOK down, caught 22 passes for 221 yards and four scores and also chipped in on special teams with 10 kick returns for 260 yards. Last year, then-freshman Jake DiGuilio made the most of his opportunity at fullback when several older players were injured. Used almost exclusively as a pass-catching option out of the backfield, DiGuilio hauled in six balls for 54 yards and two touchdowns. Senior Anthony Bruno, who missed the vast majority of his junior season, is expected back to share some of the load. RECEIVERS As previously mentioned, 90 percent of Waynesburg’s top pass catchers are back for 2014. Leading the group are honorable mention All-PAC selections Bernie Thompson and Andrew English. The pair of senior wide receivers ranked fifth and sixth, respectively, in the PAC in catches per game. Thompson led Waynesburg with 71 total receptions (6.5 per game) and English followed closely behind after pulling in 68 balls (6.2 per game). The pair combined for 10 touchdown catches and 1.659 yards through the air. Along with dynamic senior duo, the Jackets also bring back sophomore Tim Cooper, who worked his way from junior varsity standout, to varsity contributor throughout this past fall. Cooper tied Thompson for first on the team in yards per reception (12.2) while snaring 18 catches for 220 yards and two touchdowns.
www.waynesburgsports.com
Waynesburg’s biggest loss in terms of pass catchers comes at tight end. Mike Ferraro graduated this past spring after earning honorable mention All-PAC laurels for a senior season that saw him catch 43 passes for 455 yards and six touchdowns. While Ferraro’s production will be difficult to replace, Waynesburg has several veterans ready to take on bigger roles at the position. Senior Zac Capan provides good size (6-3, 230) and solid production (23 catches, 191 yards, three touchdowns) at the position. Junior Jordan Voitus (6-2, 225) gives the Jackets good depth at the position.
13
Senior wide receiver Andrew English is expected to once again be one of the Jackets’ top offensive threats in 2014. English earned All-PAC honorable mention honors last season.
OFFENSIVE LINE After being in flux over the past two off-seasons, the Waynesburg offensive line is expected to be nearly intact from this past fall. The Jackets will need to replace 2012 first-team All-PAC honoree Rob Kingerski at right guard, but all four of the Waynesburg starters are expected to be back at the top of the depth chart this summer. Junior Nik Sappie anchors this year’s unit as a third-year starter at right tackle. He was named second-team All-PAC in 2013. The left side features a pair of senior veterans in honorable mention All-PAC guard David Bobby and second-year starter Jake Brumley. Holding things together in the middle is second-year transfer Tyler Powell at center. Powell, who joined the Jackets after a year at national powerhouse Mount Union, is a massive center, standing 6-3 and weighing in around 300 pounds. Waynesburg’s depth along its offensive line is almost as impressive as having 80 percent of the starters returning this fall. Three of last year’s top backups/spot starters – senior Nick Howard, senior Cam Posney and sophomore Nick Agliori – will push the incumbents for their field time. Howard finished last season as Kingerski’s primary backup and should be considered a finalist to take over the spot.
SEASON OUTLOOK THE DEFENSE There were times last season that the Jacket defense was overshadowed by its high-scoring counterparts on offense. However, Gary, Fedorka and the rest of the unit certainly had their moments, including two defensive touchdowns, one of which played a key role in Waynesburg’s 59-49 victory at Frostburg State.
pounds, Machuga piled up 37 total tackles, four of which were for loss, 2.5 sacks and a fumble recovery. Junior Kurt Detwiler and senior Adam Steiner are among the top returning reserves from last year’s defensive line.
The Orange and Black defense also pitched the program’s first shutout since 2004 by blanking Grove City 38-0. The 2014 edition will feature at least six new starters, including a completely rebuilt secondary. Fortunately, defensive coordinator Scott Venick has seen a lot in his eight years on the job, and is ready for the challenge. DEFENSIVE LINE Simply put, Fedorka had one of the finest defensive seasons in school history during the 2013 campaign and won’t be easily replaced. He was lauded as PAC Defensive MVP and was named to the prestigious Associated Press Little All-America Team after leading the conference in sacks (11.5) and tackles for loss (21.5). He showcased his diverse skill set by adding six pass breakups, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries to a monster season. Luckily for Waynesburg, its returns two starters and a third major contributor to its defensive front. Seniors J.T. Thompson and Josh Tolliver will be counted on to lead the charge in the trenches.
Tolliver got the nod as an honorable mention all-conference selection while seeing plenty of snaps at anchor. He showcased his athleticism by combining 39 tackles, 8.5 of which were for loss, and six sacks with an interception and two pass breakups during a solid junior season. Sophomore Zach Machuga held his own during his rookie season at nose tackle. Despite standing just 5-9 and weighing in at 220
LINEBACKER The loss of senior second-team All-PAC pick Ronnie Skinner and his 64 total tackles will be felt, but the Jackets return two starting linebackers, as well as several other players who saw plenty of field time in 2013. The leader of the linebacking corps, as well as the defense as a whole, is senior weak-side linebacker John Sikora, who racked up a personal-best 70 total tackles, a mark that ranked him second on the team. Sikora notched seven tackles for loss and an interception en route to honorable mention All-PAC applause. The standout student-athlete also earned the rare accolade of being named as a member of the Capital One All-America Division III Football Team, which is selected by the Collegiate Sports Information Directors of America (Co-

Thompson, who is a returning starter at defensive tackle, ranks second amongst returning talent in total tackles with 45. He also notched four tackles for loss, two sacks, six pass breakups and two fumble recoveries.
Josh Tolliver (20) and Kyle Richey (58) both will be counted upon to help lead the Jacket defense in 2014.

SEASON OUTLOOK SIDA). Senior Kyle Richey is expected to reprise his role as starting strong-side linebacker following a breakout 2013 campaign. He put up 40 total tackles, four pass breakups and ran a fumble back 45 yards in a win against Frostburg. In terms of finding a replacement for Skinner in the middle, Venick and Shepas have no shortage of candidates. Outside linebackers Danny Morgan and Jon Carlier appeared in 11 and seven games, respectively, and could try to make a move inside. Juniors Kurt Detwiler and Mike Martin are among others that could throw their hats in the ring for the job. DEFENSIVE BACKS Waynesburg loses one of the faces of its program and one of the hardest hitters in the PAC in Gary, who was a rare four-time first-team All-PAC pick. He finished his final season in a Jacket uniform with a team-best 90 tackles and eight pass breakups. The Jackets not only lose both starters at cornerback and safety, but two of their primary backups have also left by graduation. With veteran returners in short supply, look for juniors Mike Lopuchovsky and Dontae Gibson to lead what will be the most inexperienced group on defense.
www.waynesburgsports.com
Lopuchovsky overcame a mid-season injury to record 26 tackles over seven games played at safety. Gibson appeared in nine games both as a cornerback and special teams ace. The highlight of his season came during the Jackets’ 38-19 win at Westminster, when he recovered a blocked punt and returned it 15 yards for a touchdown. The remaining starting spots in the secondary will be among the most wide-open on the team, as a total of six of the top eight defensive backs on the team have graduated. Some individuals to keep an eye on in the competition for playing time include senior Mitch Vacek, senior Warrens Remy and a whole host of returning sophomores. SPECIAL TEAMS Under the guidance of the most veteran member of the Waynesburg coaching staff,
15
assistant head coach Jason Falvo, the Yellow Jackets have consistently had some of the best special teams play in the conference over recent seasons. Falvo will need to guide the unit through a period of transition at the kicking positions, but he will have the conference’s top kick/punt returner from a year ago to help put the offensive in better position to rack up the points. KICKER Waynesburg loses first-team All-PAC pick Alex Henry from last year’s team and his production will not be easily replaced. Henry led all conference kickers in scoring with 76 points on a PAC-high 13 made field goals and 37 extra points. The two-time all-conference selection put together his best collegiate performance last season during the Jackets’ wile win at Frostburg. He went three-for-three on field goals, all of which came from 40 yards or longer, and went a perfect six-for-six on PAT tries for 15 points. Junior Scott Lewis is the only returning kicker on this year’s roster. He has yet to attempt a field goal or PAT as a collegiate player PUNTER Waynesburg will need to replace yet another All-PAC special teamer in Dominic Zappa, who was lauded as an honorable mention pick at punter. Luckily, sophomore Jonathan Hager looks ready to take over the reins as the Jacket punter. He unleashed just two varsity kicks last year, but averaged a respectful 33.0 yards per boot, which was more than a half-yard longer than Zappa’s average of 32.3 yards per punt. Junior Scott Layton is expected back to handle the long snapping duties. RETURNER Bernie Thompson was named first-team All-PAC at returner in 2013 after averaging league-best 8.7 yards per run back. He also averaged 18.4 yards per kick return. Look for Leavell and Cooper to help out Thompson during both kickoffs and punts.

ASSISTANT COACHES Jason Falvo
ASSISTANT HEAD COACH, SPECIAL TEAMS, RUNNING BACKS Jason Falvo, a 13-year veteran of the Waynesburg football program, is back as the team’s assistant head coach. He also works very closely with the Yellow Jacket special teams, which featured first-team All-PAC selections in Alex Henry (kicker) and Bernie Thompson (kick returner) in 2013. Waynesburg’s special teams played a major role in the Yellow Jackets’ 2012 season, that featured a 10-1 overall record, a co-PAC championship and a victory in the ECAC South West Bowl. Wide receiver Christian Jackson, a senior in 2012, was not only honored as a first-team All-PAC kick returner, but his 30.65 yards per return average ranked second in the country, while his 8.9 yards per punt return average was tops in the conference. He also took a punt back for a score against Washington & Jefferson. Current senior kicker Alex Henry joined Jackson as an all-conference pick, garnering second-team laurels. During the 2009 and 2010 seasons, Falvo helped take return specialist Scott Cree from a good player, to a great one. During his junior and senior seasons, the Waynesburg native returned a combined four kickoffs and two punts for touchdowns. More recently, in 2012, Falvo worked his magic with junior Christian Jackson, who was honored as a secondteam All-PAC honoree as a returner.
team all-conference kicker and punter. Falvo got his start in coaching in 1999, serving as running backs coach at Waynesburg. After two initial years with the Yellow Jackets, he moved on to Muskingum, holding the wide receivers coach/passgame coordinator position for two years. While with the Fighting Muskies, Falvo worked with receiver Jeremy Abney, who holds the single-season school record for receptions. Falvo, a native of Washington, Pa., earned his bachelor’s degree in education from Waynesburg in 2000. He followed that with a master’s degree from Muskingum in 2003. Falvo was a standout receiver and returner for Juniata, earning first-team all-conference honors in three-straight seasons. In addition to his football duties, Falvo serves as head coach of the men’s and women’s track & field teams. In 2009 and 2013, he was named PAC Women’s Track & Field Coach of the Year.
In 2005, Falvo served as the defensive coordinator for the Yellow Jackets. That season, the Waynesburg defense ranked 16th in the nation in rushing defense and led the conference in red-zone defense. The defensive unit featured three all-conference players, including all-region defensive end Mike Czerwien, who led the league in sacks.
During the conference championship season of 2003, the Waynesburg kicker earned firstteam all-conference accolades, while two other specialists were garnered honorable mention from the conference. In his second year with the special teams, Waynesburg was first in the league in punting average (36.0 average) and featured both the first-

Falvo returned to Waynesburg in 2003 as the special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach following a two-year hiatus from the program. His impact was immediate as the Yellow Jackets fielded some of the best special teams units in the conference.
The most veteran member of Shepas’ staff, assistant head coach Jason Falvo enters his 13th season with the Yellow Jacket football program.

ASSISTANT COACHES Scott Venick
DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR Scott Venick enters his ninth season as Waynesburg’s defensive coordinator and will also work closely with the team’s secondary in 2014. Venick joined the Yellow Jacket staff in the summer of 2006 following a two-year stint at nearby Washington & Jefferson. Last fall, Venick graduated two of Waynesburg’s most impactful defenders of the past five years in safety Bryan Gary and defensive end Brandon Fedorka. Gary earned the rare distinction of being a four-time, first-team All-PAC selection. Fedorka was named an Associated Press Little All-American and PAC Defensive Player of the Year. In 2012, Venick’s defense boasted a pair of AllAmericans in senior cornerback Sean Hunt and senior defensive lineman Darryl Moore, Jr. The unit also featured first-team All-PAC safety Bryan Gary and second-team honorees Brandon Fedorka (defensive line) and Ryan Williams (safety). The 2011 Jacket defense led the PAC in sacks (30) and tackles for loss (76). During the 2010 season, Venick’s young defensive unit, which featured a handful of new starters, showed tremendous progress from a sub-par 2009 season. After suffering through some growing pains the previous year, the Jacket defenders led their team to a 6-4 overall record that included a 4-3 mark in PAC play. Waynesburg gave up 88 fewer points, 229 fewer rushing yards, 275 fewer passing yards and 39 fewer first downs in 2010 than it did in 2009.
In his first season with the Presidents, he coached a W&J secondary that recorded 27 interceptions, led by two-time AllAmeri can safety Frank Pilato. Pilato along with the rest of the secondary, were pivotal in the Presidents’ record-setting 2004 season, as the team set a single-season school record with 12 victories and advanced to the NCAA Division III quarterfinals. Venick got his start in coaching in 1992, serving as defensive coordinator for Jefferson-Morgan high School, his alma mater, for five seasons. From there he coached the defense at Ringgold for three seasons before taking the head coaching position of the Rams in 2000. In two seasons as head coach, he guided Ringgold to an 11-3 conference record, including the Quad West Conference Championship. As a player, Venick was a free safety at Salem College. He is a 1992 graduate of Waynesburg Central High School. He and his wife, Julie, have three daughters, Emily, Kaylin and Riley.
After laying the foundations of his defense during his first year with the program, Venick’s finest work was on display in 2007 as Waynesburg featured the top defense in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference. Not only did the Yellow Jackets hold opponents to a meager average of 17.8 points per game, they also dominated opposing rushing attacks. Over the span of 11 games, opponents averaged a miniscule 68.1 rushing yards per game and were held to an anemic 1.9 yards per carry. In 11 games, opponents scored just 12 rushing touch downs against Waynesburg. Venick also played a role in developing some truly special individual performers. In 2007, senior defensive end Mike Czerwien led the nation in sacks (23) and tackles for loss (34.5). Another senior, inside linebacker Brendon Steele, also had a memorable final college season as he led the team with 93 tackles with 10.5 TFL, two sacks and three interceptions.
53
Since joining the Jackets’ coaching staff, Scott Venick has consistently led the Jackets to be one of the top defenses in the PAC.
ASSISTANT COACHES Matt Stansfield
OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR, OFFENSIVE LINE Matt Stansfield, who is heading into his third season as Waynesburg’s offensive coordinator, will be hard-pressed to improve on last year’s high flying performance put on by the Yellow Jacket passing game. With thenjunior quarterback Carter Hill at the controls, the Jackets averaged 387.3 yards per game, including a 283.8 ypg passing average. Nearly every regular contributor to the aerial assault received All-PAC appaluse in recognition for the unit’s success, including Hill, junior wide receivers Bernie Thompson and Andrew English, as well as senior tight end Mike Ferraro. The 2012 campaign showcased Stansfield’s ability to get the tough yards on the ground. The Jackets were led a physical running attack that averaged a conference-best 201.9 yards per game. Stansfield also did a fine job of integrating his background as a Division I collegiate offensive lineman into that year’s squad. Waynesburg’s big men up front were some of the best in all of Division III in terms of protecting their quarterback, giving up just five sacks all season. That total that averages out to .64 quarterback takedowns per game, a mark that was the 12th lowest in the country. Stansfield brought four years of scholarship-level coaching experience to the Yellow Jackets. He came to Waynesburg from Division I FCS Duquesne University, where he spent three years (2009-11) as the Dukes’ running backs coach and run game coordinator. During a 2011 season that saw Duquesne go 9-2, the Dukes averaged 212.8 yards per game on the ground, an average that led the Northeast Conference and ranked 15th nationally in FCS. The rushing attack was spearheaded by then-junior Larry McCoy, who ranked ninth nationally with 1,381 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns in 11 games. Prior to going to Duquesne, Stansfield spent one year (2008) at another FCS school in Howard University, where he worked with the school’s defensive line. Before breaking into the coaching ranks, Stansfield played center for Duquesne from 2003 to 2007, where he was a member of five MAAC championship teams. The Meadville native was also a two-time all-MAAC selection (2006 and 2007) and a 2006 Don Hansen honorable mention FCS Mid-Major All-American. Stansfield added the honor of team captain in 2007. The lead of the Jacket offense graduated from Duquesne in 2007 with a degree in accounting and added an MBA from Duquesne in 2010. He earned those degrees after graduating from Meadville High School in 2003, where he was a three-year starter for the Bulldogs. He currently resides in Carnegie, Pa.

ASSISTANT COACHES Joe Kuhns
LINEBACKERS Joe Kuhns brings almost 20 years of coaching experience to Waynesburg University, where he will spend his second season working with the Yellow Jacket linebackers. Kuhns didn’t have to travel far for his first college coaching job after spending three years as the head coach at nearby Waynesburg Central High School (2009-11). His most successful stint as a high school coach came at California High School, where he served as head man from 2002 to 2008 and led the Trojans to some of the most successful years in the program’s history. During his time at Cal, Kuhns was named the 2004 Tri-County South Conference Coach of the Year, and in 2007 was a finalist for the Washington/Greene County Coach of the Year award.

PRESIDENTS’ ATHLETIC CONFERENCE Founded in 1955, the Presidents’ Athletic Conference continues its mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics and the pursuit of academic excellence. Comprised of 10 select private colleges - Bethany College, Chatham University, Geneva College, Grove City College, Saint Vincent College, Thiel College, Thomas More College, Washington and Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and Westminster College - the PAC remains a unique organization in this day of high pressure intercollegiate athletics. With academics at the center of each member’s philosophy, the PAC is built on the principle that an athletic program is a part of college life, but not an entity in itself. The PAC expanded to seven members in 2005 with the addition of Thomas More, formerly an NCAA Division III independent. Saint Vincent College, a former NAIA member, joined the conference as it began provisional membership status in NCAA Division III in 2006-07. Another former NAIA member, Geneva College, became the conference’s ninth member and began league play as it started NCAA Division III provisional membership in 2007-08. Saint Vincent became fullfledged member of the NCAA last year and the 2011-12 school year saw Geneva do the same after acting as a provisional member. Chatham University became the league’s 10th member, also in 2007-08. The PAC annually crowns champions in 19 sports. In 2010-11, the conference had 39 teams represent the conference in postseason play, including 19 in NCAA Championship events. PAC championship teams receive automatic qualification (AQ) status for most NCAA Division III national championship events. All-conference status is awarded in all 19 sports. Head coaches select all-league squads for all team sports, while in individual sports such as cross country and tennis, all-PAC accolades are based upon performances at the conference championships.
The PAC annually awards its men’s and women’s All-Sports Trophies to the schools which perform best across the board in PAC competition. The Washington & Jefferson men and Grove City women captured the 2013-14 trophies. True to its mission, the PAC has produced numerous Academic All-Americans and NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Last year, the league named a record 852 student-athletes to the PAC Academic Honor Roll, which recognizes all participating athletes who attain a term grade-point average of 3.60 or above.
