Beeghly Center, the home of Youngstown State men’s and women’s basketball, has seen a major facelift totaling more than $4 million this decade, including the new Dom Rosselli Court installed in the summer of 2008. In the last decade, refurbishing has been done to the hallways, court lighting, classrooms, flooring, lobbies, basketball and Olympic Sports offices, swimming pool, and locker rooms. Also The Coaches Court, a plush room for Athletic Department functions and press conferences, was constructed. In the most recent offseason, the YSU athletic department was able acquire the actual hoops that were used in the 2009 NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four in Detroit. Those hoops will be used this season and beyond. New strobe lights were also installed in the four corners of the arena to enhance the lighting for photographers. Beeghly Center, located between Stambaugh Stadium and the Andrews Wellness and Recreation Center, has basketball support areas that include an athletic training room, weight room, coaches offices, and a newly remodeled locker room and players lounge. Not only does the Beeghly Center have an arena, it is a multi-purpose facility that includes an Olympic-sized swimming and diving facility, racquetball and squash courts, classrooms, and administrative offices. The entire facility was built at a cost of $5.5 million and opened in 1972. It was dedicated in the memory of Mr. and Mrs. Leon A. Beeghly, founders of the Standard Slag Company in Youngstown.

The fi rst women’s basketball game in the Beeghly Center was on Jan. 23, 1976, when the Penguins defeated Kent State-Tuscarawas. Eleven years after construction, the seating capacity was increased to 6,500 with the addition of permanent seats in the north and south ends of the arena and 1,250 chairback seats located along the court. The capacity is currently 6,300 with recent floor expansion along the baselines. Other recent improvements to the arena include the addition of two scoreboards, expanded press row seating, energy-efficient lighting and a new sound system. On Sept. 15, 1996, YSU dedicated Veterans’ Plaza directly in front of Beeghly Center. Th is $500,000 community project was funded in-part through private donations to honor all United States Veterans. Both the Youngstown State men’s and women’s basketball teams routinely enjoy large crowds. For drawing a season-high 2,567 fans on Jan. 19, 2008, against Detroit, YSU won the NCAA Division I Pack The House Challenge for having the largest attendance among Horizon League teams. The Penguins annually rank second in the Horizon League in attendance for women’s games. Nearly 6,250 fans packed Beeghly Center last season for the men’s game between YSU and Cleveland State on Jan. 23 that was aired live on ESPNU. In addition to athletic events, the Beeghly Center serves as a site for graduation ceremonies and outside events such as concerts, presidential rallies and other functions.

2009-10 TEAM INFORMATION | Q & A WITH COACH MARTIN

It was a very humbling experience. I’m ultra-competitive, and everybody that knows me knows that. It was hard last year. I think that I beat myself up a lot because I wanted our six seniors to have a great senior year. I was frustrated with myself that we couldn’t step up and give that to them. But in reflecting during the summer and watching fi lm, we had so many injuries last year that a lot of things were out of our control. I think we improved, I think we had good att itudes, and I felt like we had good team chemistry. It just was not our year. We all tried our hardest, and we have to try our hardest again. It definitely makes me hungrier to win again, and I’m very excited about this season. Q: Did you do anything different or extra during the offseason as you reflected? I spent a lot of time talking to coaches who came into programs in similar situations that are now at the top of their conference. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments and encouraging words from coaches. I’ve heard from maybe 100 Division I coaches that “you’ve never been somewhere that hasn’t won. You’ll get it going.” That’s awesome for colleagues to believe in me and in my history. Q: You’ve mentioned that you know a litt le better what types of players and personalities to recruit. What are those? I was a blue-collar student-athlete, and that’s something that I’ve always wanted. I’ve always looked for young women that are hungry about the game of basketball and are always wanting to improve. I look for work-ethic fi rst, then talent. Personality is a big part of it, too. They have to be excited about the game of basketball and understand that I’m going to push them every day. When they meet the bar that we raise, we’re going to raise it a litt le bit more. We want to put them in a situation to be successful. Th at’s our job as coaches. We have to challenge them, but we have to know that they can meet those challenges. Q: What is your ideal style of play, and how close is the team to being able to play that style? My ideal style is playing 94 feet for 40 minutes. I don’t know that we’re going to be deep enough to do that every night this year. We’d like to defend for 94 feet, even if it’s just with our point guard. I like mixing it up on defense, and I always like being the aggressor. I like to push the tempo on offense but also be able to slow it down. I like to be able to execute in a half court set, and I like to be able to be aggressive with pressure defense.

Q: On the road last season, you gave the team the opportunity to take in the sights and sounds of the places you traveled, such as Niagara Falls, Michigan Avenue and The Art Institute of Chicago. What benefits do you see with that? We want to have our student-athletes to be well-rounded when they graduate, and we feel that they have that opportunity here. In four years, they can prepare themselves for the next 40. That’s one of our mottos. We want them to see museums and diversity, and we want them to work in the community with people less fortunate. We want them to understand what it means to represent something bigger than themselves. I think that’s why we call it a team. It’s defi nitely something we’ve set a foundation with, and these ladies have embraced it.

2009-10 PENGUINS BASKETBALL

Q: You mentioned at a press conference last year that last season was the fi rst time you had ever played for or coached a team with a losing record. Did you learn anything about yourself during the process?

Coach Martin spent the offseason seeking wisdom from other successful coaches, including former YSU and current Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel.

Q: Last season the team played well in spurts on both ends of the floor. What have you done to improve the consistency in both areas, whether it’s recruiting or an adjustment? I think it comes from practice and always practicing hard. If you practice hard every day like you’re playing in the national championship game, then you’re going to go out and play that way every single game. Our mind-set from the day we made our team goals has been that we have to have consistent practices. The consistency in practice will carry over to the games. Q: Last season at this time you were talking about how important it was to get your student-athletes to “buy into” your coaching philosophy and style. Do you think everyone is on the same page at this point? I think that since we’ve had the opportunity to recruit most of the ladies on the roster, they came in knowing what my game plan is and what my expectations are in the community, classroom and court. We’re intense, and we always go full speed in everything we do. I defi nitely think everyone has “bought in”. The other thing is that is big is that I have a coaching staff that has decided to stay here and stay committed to this program. Bernard, Meredith and Shannon have been a big part as to why everyone has bought into it. We’re one united voice as a staff, and we’re all more familiar with our support staff as well. Q: What are the team’s goals for this season?

are to have a 3.5 team GPA and to have all of our student-athletes have at least a cumulative 3.0 GPA. In community service, we want to win the Horizon League outreach award again and, simply, to always make a difference in other people’s lives. In basketball, our biggest goal is to fi nish in the top six during of the Horizon League in the regular season. Th at will give us a fi rst round bye. With our lack of numbers with only 11 active players on the roster, we feel like that’s the best way for us to position ourselves to make a run. Q: And beyond this season? I want to win a conference championship. Plain and simple. Q: You were very excited on signing day in the spring about the level of talent your coaching staff was able to recruit. Talk about how the newcomers have looked so far in early workouts. I think it really goes back to athleticism and the ability to score. Those are the two things that this group brings to the table more than anything. Q: How much do you think it will help being more familiar with the Horizon League in year two? I feel better about us as coaches that we know the conference much better. We’ve had a chance to play everybody at least twice and learn their style. It’s nice to know who thinks what way, and that will prepare us even better when we scout them this year. We were kind of going in blind last year. That even goes with travel. I think we just feel much more comfortable.

We always have goals for academics, community service and basketball. Our two biggest academic goals

2009-10 TEAM INFORMATION | SEASON OUTLOOK

rior to last season, Youngstown State head women’s basketball coach Cindy Martin had never been part of a team that fi nished with more losses than wins in her entire coaching and playing career. She describes herself as the most competitive person someone will ever meet, so you can imagine how determined and excited the Penguins’ second-year head coach is to show a big improvement in 200910. Martin’s club went through some growing pains during the 2008-09 season. Playing with three new starters and five student-athletes who had never suited up for a Division I game, nagging injuries forced Martin to start freshmen often and hold back on her preferred full-court pressure defense. However, Martin saw the squad show a big improvement as the season progressed. That was epitomized by YSU’s 54-38 win over Valparaiso in the regular-season fi nale, a team the Penguins lost to 86-43 two months earlier. Now, Martin is hoping the experience her younger players gained last season combined with the addition of seven new Penguins will bring a big improvement in the win column. “I think we defi nitely continued to improve,” Martin said of the fi rst season of her rebuilding effort. “Our goal in year one was to improve every day. We had a heck of a turnaround, and that’s something we’re talking about a lot this year. “We’re still in a rebuilding phase, and we have to continue to get better every day. If we work hard every day, we’re hoping that the preseason is our time to develop and grow this year so we’re ready to go for the start of the conference schedule.” The Penguins will be among the youngest teams in the county with only six players on the roster having Division I experience. One of those, transfer Tieara Jones, will redshirt as she fulfi lls her NCAA requirements. The top five scorers from last season are all gone, as is 74.4 percent of the scoring, 75.3 percent of the rebounding and 62.9 percent of the minutes played. Furthermore, sophomore point guard Macey Nortey is the active career scoring leader with 169 points. Martin, though, is hoping that those five players that do return benefitted from a lot of playing time in the fi rst season of her regime. “We had a lot of youth on the floor for the duration of most games, and I think that game experience will pay off at critical

times this year,” she said. “People like Kenya having people wonder who’s going to score Middlebrooks, for example, that really got big. I challenge our ladies to ‘let that be you.’ “We’re going to have to win with team ball, thrown into the starting line-up on a consistent basis out of position last year, really grew and we don’t need anyone to be a superstar. from that. Confidence is the thing that I’m We need everyone to do their jobs. If you’re seeing the biggest improvement in with the a rebounder, that means rebound. If you’re a scorer, that means score.

State College, Dimitrov averaged 10 points and 4.5 assists as a sophomore, and her 5.9 assists as a freshman ranked 18th nationally in the NJCAA Division I. She was ranked 68th out of 205 junior college prospects across the country by the All Star Girls Report. Gasparek joined the team early last fall as a walk-on and earned a scholarship because of her work-ethic and potential. She played in 28 games last season and has been on campus throughout the summer working to improve. “I’m excited about the point guard spot because I think we’re going to have depth and versatility there,” Martin said. “Macey gained valuable game and conference experience last year, and she has really learned what I expect with our offensive system. “Boki is just a natural leader who is tough and tenacious. We knew that when we recruited her. Now that she’s in the mix of things, she’s everything we thought she’d be and a litt le more. We’re excited that she’s going to be able to score more [as an off-guard]. “Makala is the hardest working player on this team, and her 3-point shot looks great.” March displayed a huge improvement when she was healthy at the early part of last season, and she’ll be looked upon to provide leadership and scoring from the wing. After playing in 14 games combined her fi rst two seasons, March played in 23 contests last season and set career highs in nearly every statistical category. She scored at least eight points in three of the fi rst five games, and nine of her 14 3-pointers came in the fi rst seven contests. She, along with Dimitrov and Gasparek, will be counted on to be YSU’s primary 3-point threats. Middlebrooks is a stalwart defender who played in all 30 games and started nine a year ago. She led the squad with 37 steals last season and averaged 23.8 minutes. She’ll play the majority of her time at the No. 3 position this year after ranging from the two to four in her freshman season. Freshman Maryum Jenkins was a four-year starter as both a shooting guard and point guard at Monrovia High in California, and she’ll play mostly on the wing in 2009-10. She averaged 15 points, five

assists, four rebounds and three steals as a senior in leading her team to the league title. She was ranked 290th out of 1,725 high school prospects across the country by the All Star Girls Basketball Report. Shea Johnson joined the Penguins in July after a solid career at Midland (Texas) College, one of the top JUCO programs in the nation. She averaged 8.3 points and played in all 32 games for the Chaparrals last season, who fi nished 30-2 and ranked fi ft h in the fi nal national poll. Melissa Thompson was a Th ird-Team Northeast Lakes District selection as a senior in what was her fi rst season at Solon High. Prior to leading Solon to a district title, she averaged 12.1 points and 9.2 rebounds as a junior at Bedford High. “I think we’ll have some versatility on the wing because we’ll have people out there who can also play point guard,” Martin said. “Kenya, Maryum, Shea and Melissa are all good jump shooters who can ‘stop and pop’ or get to the rim. I’m really excited about Kenya this year because she’s back in her natural position, and her confidence is defi nitely up. Kaitlyn has worked on driving so she can become a dual-threat, and Maryum is just a baller who knows how to play. Shea averaged 26 points in high school, so we’re hoping to help her become a consistent scorer. Melissa scores very well from the free-throw line in and can be a nice combo player at the No. 3 and 4 positions.”

Frontcourt Although there are only three true posts on the roster, Martin is pleased with the group’s versatility to play inside and out. “I’m excited about the posts’ versatility this year. I’m excited that we can set an on-ball screen and not always roll. We can teach them this year to read it. They can pop out and shoot the 3 if their man drops.” Manuel is the only returning post player from last year’s squad that saw forwards Nikita LaFleur and Tiara Scott lead the team in scoring. Manuel will look to follow in their footsteps with an increased role on the floor and as a mentor to two incoming freshmen. Manuel is by far the most-veteran player on the squad with her 85 career games, and she averaged 1.9 points and 2.1 rebounds over 27 games as a substitute for LaFleur and Scott last year. She’ll look for a breakout campaign similar to LaFleur’s last season in which she more-than-doubled her scoring and rebounding averages. Freshman Kaitlin Rohrs averaged 14 points and eight rebounds as both a sophomore and junior at Liberty Center High to earn fi rstteam all-district honors both seasons. She went on to earn honorable mention All-Ohio honors as a senior when she averaged 11.8 points and 7.7 rebounds. Fellow freshman Brandi Brown comes to Youngstown as a highly-accomplished player out of Claremont High in California. She averaged 24 points and 19.6 rebounds as a senior and retired as the school’s all-time leader in points and rebounds. She earned SecondTeam All-CIF Southern Section honors as a senior. “I’d love to have two true posts on the floor at all times, but we’re prepared to go in this year with a four-out, one-in mentality,” Martin said. “That is the style of half-court offense we want to get to. We want to have one post inside and one on the perimeter somewhere. We have good range with our posts and have nice touch. It will be nice to adjust what we want to do based on what we think will work for each game.”

A PROUD HISTORY

YSUsports.com

Youngstown State Women’s Basketball Media & Recruiting Guide

Founded on June 16, 1979, as the Midwestern City Conference with six charter members, the League changed its name to the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in 1985 and added women’s sports for the 1986-87 academic year. Charter members of the conference included current members Butler and Loyola as well as the University of Evansville, Oklahoma City University, Oral Roberts University and Xavier University. Among other current members, Detroit joined in 1980, and Cleveland State, UIC, Green Bay, Milwaukee and Wright State came aboard in 1994 (along with Northern Illinois University) in the largest non-merger conference expansion in history. Youngstown State joining in 2001 and Valparaiso in 2007. On June 4, 2001, the Horizon League unveiled its current name and ushered in a new dynamic direction that has brought the League closer to its stated goal of being one of the nation’s top ten collegiate athletic conferences with a focus on enhancing the student-athletes’ experience by upgrading the League’s market and competitive positions.

ATHLETIC SUCCESS In the past few years, the Horizon League has enjoyed unprecedented success on the national stage, highlighted by three Sweet Sixteen appearances (Butler 2003, 2007; Milwaukee 2005) and nine wins in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in the past seven seasons. In other sports, League teams have won at least one game in their respective NCAA Championships each of the last seven seasons in men’s soccer (Milwaukee 2002-05, UIC 2006-08), with UIC just one win away from the College Cup in 2007. In softball, League teams won a game in the national tournament four straight years earlier in the decade (UIC 2002, 2004; Wright State 2003; Green Bay 2005) while advancing into the second round in women’s soccer three of the last five seasons (Detroit 2004, Milwaukee 2005-06). Green Bay’s women’s basketball team added to that résumé with a victory in the 2007 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship. Butler’s Victoria Mitchell became the League’s fi rst NCAA individual champion when she won the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS Horizon League student-athletes also excel in the classroom as more than 500 have been named to the Academic Honor Roll each of the past seven semesters for carrying a grade-point average of 3.2 or better, including more than 600 for the fall 2007 and spring 2008 semesters. Twentyfive student-athletes were named to ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District teams in 2008-09, while eight earned Academic AllAmerica honors.

COMMUNITY SERVICE In addition to its athletics success, the Horizon League has secured a well-earned reputation for its community service initiatives. Each January, member institutions partner with local elementary schools for an art, music and essay contest highlighting the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with winners recognized at League games on the weekend of MLK Day. The Horizon League Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) also has continued a tradition of working with youth in Indianapolis during its annual summer meeting. In addition, several League men’s basketball coaches coached barefoot to support Samaritan’s Feet, and the League’s schools and fans donate to Komen for the Cure for breast cancer awareness during its annual women’s basketball championship. On campus, student-athletes have raised money and awareness for such causes as breast cancer, diabetes and hurricane relief, while hosting blood drives, neighborhood clean-ups, Big Brother/Big Sister programs and more.

2009-10 TEAM INFORMATION | COMMUNITY AND CLASSROOM

At Youngstown State, there is more to being a student-athlete than playing basketball. Under Head Coach Cindy Martin and her emphasis on serving others, the Youngstown State women’s basketball program has become a fi xture in the community. The team completed 17 different community service projects during the 200809 academic year to earn the Horizon League Community Outreach Award. Among those projects were: • YSU Freshman “Move-In” • Serving spaghett i at a Youngstown church • Coaches vs. Cancer Walk • Pink Ribbon Walk for breast cancer • Halloween celebration at Sunrise Senior Living • National Library Week reading at an area middle school • Free girls basketball clinic • Sessions with area youth, discussing goals and important life decisions The Penguins completed five projects in the fi rst month of the 2009-10 season. In addition to returning for two of the same projects from the previous year, the team helped raise funds at the “Miracles and Promises” Radiothon to benefit an area children’s hospital, worked a Welcome Week concert on campus and volunteered at a local fair. In the classroom, YSU assembled a 3.16 cumulative grade-point average through the end of Martin’s fi rst year, and the group has its sights set higher for the future. The team has set a goal to have a cumulative 3.5 GPA at the end of the season. The Penguins are also set on having each student-athlete achieve at least a 3.0 GPA. Across all programs, Youngstown State student-athletes are having unprecedented success in the classroom. An all-time high of 41 student-athletes earned a perfect 4.0 during the spring 2008 semester, and 50 percent of the YSU’s student-athletes had at least a 3.0 semester GPA for the 2009 spring semester.

Coach Martin on Community Service I’m ready to embrace the community here in Youngstown. I like doing community service as a team with the entire coaching staff and all of the student-athletes there at the same time. It’s important for our bonding, and it’s important for the community to see us working together. What these ladies will take home from community service cannot be put into words - things that they’re going to be able to use when it’s time for them to take a job, run a program themselves or whatever they choose. My parents taught me to give me to give back to those less fortunate and to get involved with the people in your community. It’s your duty. YSU certainly has a precedent for success. The women’s basketball program has had an academic all-league honoree in five of the last six seasons. Student-athletes receive personal attention and assistance from YSU’s four academic advisors in the athletic department. While at IUP, two of Martin’s student-athletes were voted to the Academic All-America team. Her 2006 squad ranked 15th nationally for team GPA with a 3.422, and, most impressively, she had a 100 percent graduation rate. Martin and her coaching staff monitors academic progress personally by sitt ing with the team during study table sessions. Assistant coach Meredith Baugher is also highly involved in monitoring academic progress.

Head Coach Cindy Martin and her coaching staff monitor team study sessions to combine an emphasis on academic success with team bonding.

Cindy Martin Head Coach Second Season Florida, 1999

indy Martin, a proven winner who has already helped lead rebirths for two programs in her young career, is hoping to continue Youngstown State’s turnaround during her second season as the Penguins’ head coach. Martin, a passionate, blue-collar worker who describes herself as the most competitive person someone will ever meet, saw her squad improve drastically over the course of her fi rst season in Youngstown. She installed her up-tempo, aggressive style of play; emphasized pressure on defense; and she implemented her Th ree C’s to success: classroom, community and court. Most importantly, in the hardwood classroom in Beeghly Center, she was able to teach a young group of student-athletes to play the collegiate game hard for what promises to be an exciting future in Penguin Country. Martin certainly has the resumé to orchestrate YSU’s rebirth. She has been part of rebuilding processes at West Virginia University and, most recently, Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). She accumulated an overall record of 70-23 and a .753 winning percentage at IUP and helped West Virginia to two postseason berths as the Mountaineers’ top assistant and recruiting coordinator. The team showed signs of the program Martin intends to create, especially down the home stretch last season. At the pinnacle of last season’s development, YSU posted an emotional win over Valparaiso - a team it lost to by 43 early in the year - on senior night. Although Martin’s fi rst squad at YSU had five active seniors, there was a defi nite feeling of the future on the floor. All three of Martin’s recruits, all of which signed after May 1, averaged more than 22 minutes. Her fi rst signee, Macey Nortey, was second on the team with 26.8 minutes per game and led the team in assists. Martin and her staff also had a busy offseason, traveling across the country in their fi rst full recruiting season. The Penguins will welcome seven newcomers to the roster - four freshmen and three JUCO transfers - that will play a big part of YSU’s rebuilding. After spending four years at West Virginia, Martin earned her fi rst job as a collegiate head coach at Division II IUP. In just three short years, Martin turned IUP into a national power. In her fi nal season coaching the Crimson Hawks, Martin was named the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association’s (WBCA) 200708 Division II East Region Coach of the Year. She guided the team to a school-best 27-5 record and its second consecutive Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference championship. IUP spent the entire season

ranked in the USA Today/ESPN/WBCA top 25 poll, climbing as high as fi ft h. IUP also secured the No. 1 seed in the NCAA East Region. That same season, Jahzinga Tracey became the fi rst IUP women's basketball player in 15 years to be recognized as an All-American when she was selected by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association. During the 2006-07 season, Martin was named the PSAC West Coach of the Year after leading IUP to a mark of 24-9 and its fi rst PSAC West championship since 1988. The Crimson Hawks also earned the No. 3 seed in the East Region Tournament and advanced to the NCAA Division II Sweet 16. Martin guided IUP to a 19-9 overall mark and an 8-4 record in the PSAC West during her inaugural season in 2005-06. The Crimson Hawks fi nished second in the division after being picked to fi nish fi ft h in the preseason poll. The 19 wins marked a nine-and-a-half game improvement from a 9-18 campaign in 2004-05, which is the seventhhighest increase in the history of Division II women’s basketball.

2008-09 IN REVIEW | SEASON NOTES 2009-10 PENGUINS BASKETBALL

Nortey Highlights Strong Freshman Contributions

Point guard Macey Nortey fi nished with 80 assists in her freshman campaign. Th at total ranks as the sixth-best among freshmen in school history. She started 25 games and played 805 minutes, which ranked second on the team only to senior Kelsey Gurganus. Fellow freshman Kenya Middlebrooks played in every game and averaged 23.8 minutes, which was the fi ft h most on the team. Camisha Alexander averaged 17.3 minutes and played all but the two games she missed with an injury. Makala Gasparek also played in 28 games. Nortey and Alexander became the fi rst pair of YSU freshmen since 2001-02 to both score more than 150 points in a season.

Two seniors hit career scoring milestones this season. Scott scored the 500th point of her Youngstown State career against Akron on Dec. 20 as the Penguins defeated the Zips 58-52. She fi nished her career with 647 points in 60 games wearing a Penguins uniform. Gurganus reached 500 points for her Division I career in her fi nal game. She scored 383 points in two seasons at YSU and 119 in two years at Southern Miss. Gurganus was the only player to start in every game during the year.

Penguins Earn Victory Over Valparaiso on Senior Day

The Penguins ended the regular season with arguably their most complete game of the year, which was symbolic of the progression the team made. It was extra special because it came on “senior day”, the fi nal game at Beeghly Center for YSU’s six seniors. With all five active seniors in the starting lineup, YSU pulled off an inspired 54-38 victory over Valparaiso, a team it lost to 8643 earlier in the year. The Penguins jumped out to a 13-0 lead and shot 47.9 percent for the game. Strong on both sides of the ball, the YSU turned is second-best shooting game of the season while holding Valpo to the fewest points by an opponent since 1990.

LaFleur and Scott Solid in Post

Nikita LaFleur and Tiara Scott formed one of the best post combinations in the Horizon League. Th at was on really on display Jan. 8 against Milwaukee when both players recorded double-doubles, which was a fi rst for YSU in the last six years. LaFleur fi nished with 15 points and 10 rebounds, and Scott had 13 points and 11 rebounds. They came close against Saint Francis (Pa.) on Dec. 3, but LaFleur fi nished one point shy. Scott led the Penguins in scoring a team-high nine times, and LaFleur was the top rebounder in 17 games.

leur also fi nished with the eighth-most blocks in school history with 67.

LaFleur Has Best Shooting Day in School History

LaFleur put an exclamation point on her breakout season with the best shooting game in YSU history against Green Bay on Jan. 10. She made all 10 of her field-goal attempts, which just edged Kristi Echelberry’s 9-for-9 effort in 1995. She was one of only two players in the nation to make 100 percent of her attempts and make a minimum of 10. She was named the Horizon League Scholar Athlete of the Week for her efforts. LaFleur’s .550 shooting percentage in 2008-09 ranks as the seventh-best for a single season in school history, and her career .481 percentage ranks eighth. LaF-

Seniors in the Record Book

In addition to LaFleur’s top-10 rankings, three other seniors left their marks on YSU’s record book. Scott fi nished her two years at YSU with a career .535 field goal percentage, which ranks second in school history. Her career .793 free throw percentage ranks eighth in school history. She also made 24 consecutive free throws in 2008-09, which is the seventh-longest streak in school history. Ashley Pendleton fi nished ranked sixth in career blocks with 75.

Scoring Milestones Reached

Senior Kelsey Gurganus earned the Penguin Award from the coaching staff for her leadership and commitment to the team. Gurganus was the only player to start every game.

Balanced Steals

Five different players registered at least 27 steals, marking the fi rst time since 2002-03 that at least five student-athletes had 25 in a season. Freshman Kenya Middlebrooks fi nished with a team-high 37, Jaquett a Westley had 35, Nortey had 32, LaFleur had 28 and Gurganus had 27.

Off the Court

The Penguins completed 17 different community service projects that ranged from serving spaghett i at a local church to hosting a Trick-orTreat Night at a senior living center to hosting a free girls basketball clinic. The team received the Horizon League’s Community Outreach Award for its efforts. Senior Velissa Vaughn was one of eight YSU student-athletes to be honored on National STUDENT-Athlete for her significant contributions in the classroom and sideline. Vaughn and Gurganus both earned a perfect 4.0 grade-point average in the Fall 2008 semester, and the team had a combined 3.18 GPA.

Legendary UCONN coach Geno Auriemma gave the team a quick “pep talk” in Milwaukee.

The Guins made trips to The Art Institute of Chicago (above), as well as Niagara Falls and Michigan Avenue in Chicago.

2009-10 PENGUINS BASKETBALL

TRA DITIONS | NCAA TOURNAMENT TEAMS

Youngstown State possessed one of the most successful women’s basketball programs in the country during the 1990s. From the 1990-91 season through 1999-2000, the Penguins won 196 games and had six 20win seasons. Five of those 20-win seasons came consecutively from 1995-96 to 19992000 during which the Penguins played in the NCAA Tournament three times. YSU also captured five straight regular-season Mid-Continent Conference titles from 1994-95 through 1998-99.

1995-96 First NCAA Tournament Berth The 1995-96 season put the Youngstown State women’s basketball program on the national map. The Penguins won their second straight Mid-Continent Conference regular-season title - and their fi rst outright title in school history - with four sophomores and one junior in the starting lineup. As the No. 1 seed, the Penguins breezed through the Mid-Continent Conference tournament by defeating Western Illinois, 69-59, Troy State, 87-67, and Buffalo, 53-43, to earn their fi rst trip to the NCAA Tournament. YSU was selected as No. 15 seed in “The Dance” and drew No. 2 Penn State. The Penguins hung tough against the Nitt any Lions and trailed 42-40 at halft ime and 50-49 with 15 minutes left in the game. YSU, however, succumbed to a 19-0 Penn State rally and found themselves down, 69-49. YSU’s cinderella season ended with a 94-71 loss to Penn State in the fi rst round of the NCAA Tournament. YSU fi nished the season with a 20-9 ledger overall and fi nished 14-4 in the Mid-Con. Junior Liz Hauger was named fi rst-team all-conference after leading the Penguins in scoring with 16.4 points per game.

1997-98 First NCAA Tournament Victory

Fueled by its appearance in the 1996 NCAA Tournament, the 1997-98 YSU women’s basketball team was determined to not only make a return trip to “The Dance”, but also make some noise. The Penguins turned in a school-best 28-3 record, won 16 straight games, and fi nished with a 15-1 mark in the Mid-Continent Conference. Coming off its fourth straight regular-season conference title, YSU earned the No. 1 seed in the Mid-Con Tournament and ran the table with victories over Chicago State, 76-57, Southern Utah, 83-73, and Valparaiso, 78-69, to collect its second NCAA Tournament automatic berth in three years. YSU earned the No. 12 seed and drew No. 5 Memphis in the fi rst round. The Penguins pulled off the upset of the tournament, downing the Tigers, 91-80, for the school’s fi rst NCAA Tournament victory. After a slow start in the second round against North Carolina State, the Penguins saw their magnificent season come to a close with an 88-61 loss to the fourth-seeded Wolfpack. Four of YSU’s five senior starters earned all-conference accolades as Mid-Con Player of the Year Shannon Beach and Ann Marie Martin were named to the fi rst team. Martin led the team with 16.3 points per game while Beach averaged 13.8 points and shot better than 40 percent from 3-point range.

1999-2000 2009-10 PENGUINS BASKETBALL

Th ird NCAA Tournament in five years The 1999-2000 team was perhaps the most resilient group of Penguins to reach the NCAA Tournament. YSU turned in an impressive 19-8 regular-season mark but saw its streak of five consecutive regular-season conference championships snapped. Youngstown State, however, was not deterred from its goal of reaching the NCAA Tournament for the third time in five seasons. The Penguins swept through the Mid-Continent Conference Tournament by defeating Southern Utah, 84-78 in overtime, Western Illinois, 67-56, and Valparaiso, 73-57, to punch their third “Dance Ticket” with the automatic berth to the NCAA’s. Just as in 1995-96, the Penguins were selected as the No. 15 seed and faced No. 2 Penn State. Although the Penguins set an NCAA East Regional record with 12 3-pointers in a game, the Nitt any Lions defeated the Guins, 83-63. YSU earned its fi ft h-straight 20-win season with an overall mark of 22-9. Brianne Kenneally was named the Mid-Con Player of the Year and tournament MVP, leading the Penguins with 18.7 points per contest. Th ree-point specialist Leslie Majewski earned second-team all-conference honors after sinking 70 treys.

Liz Hauger • 1996-97

One of the most recognizable names in the history of Youngstown State women’s basketball is that of Dorothy Bowers (1984-88), the school’s all-time leading scorer with 2,324 career points. Bowers’ influence on the court and the YSU basketball program was immediately felt. During her freshman campaign, the Youngstown, Ohio, native was selected to the Ohio Valley Conference All-Freshman Team after scoring 254 points for an average of 9.4 points per game. She also averaged 7.0 rebounds per game. In 1985-86, Bowers dominated the hardwood averaging 23.9 points and 11.6 rebounds as a sophomore while shooting a blistering 56 percent from the floor. That same year she was named second-team All-OVC. Bowers continued her dominance in 1986-87 as a junior with 24.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. She was named fi rst-team All-OVC after connecting on 50.8 percent of her field goal attempts. As a senior, Bowers set the school’s single-season scoring record with 783 points, breaking the old mark of 710 set by Wanda Grant in 1980-81. With her 28.0 points and 11.6 rebounds per game, Bowers was named the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year. Bowers also owns the school records for most field goals in a career (977), highest field goal percentage (.544), most points in a singlegame (49) and most field goals in a game (21). Bowers, who owns a career scoring average of 21.5 points per game, also ranks second all-time with 1,083 career rebounds and 370 career free throws made.

A catalyst during the Penguins run to their fi rst NCAA Tournament appearance was Liz Hauger (1993-97). During her junior season in 1995-96, Hauger led the Penguins to a 20-9 record and their fi rst 20win season since 1990-91. The Penguins also won the Mid-Continent Conference regular season and tournament championships. Hauger paced the Penguins with a 16.4 scoring average and was named fi rst-team All-MidContinent Conference. The following season, Hauger turned in an even more impressive campaign. She led the Penguins in scoring for the second straight season with an average of 18.7 points per game and was named the Mid-Con Player of the Year. The Penguins recorded their second consecutive 20-win season with an overall mark of 23-6 and captured the league’s regular season crown. YSU, however, missed out on their second straight NCAA Tournament appearance after losing in the tournament championship game to Troy State, 89-75. Hauger was also vital in the Penguins fi rst of five straight Mid-Continent Conference championships in 1994-95. As a sophomore, Hauger was one of the Penguins top offensive threats with a 12.5 scoring average. She connected on 42.2 percent of her field goal attempts and helped guide the Penguins to a 1711 overall record and a 14-4 league mark. In 1994-95, she was named second-team allconference. Hauger currently ranks eighth all-time with 1,468 career points, and third all-time with 328 career free throws made.

Brianne Kenneally • 1998-99, 1999-2000

Although she missed most of her fi rst two season due to knee injuries, Shannon Beach (199398) was an impact player for the Penguins during their fi rst two trips to the NCAA Tournament. In 1995-96 as a redshirt sophomore, Beach was an essential ingredient in the Penguins run to the NCAA. She averaged 10.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game and was also named the Mid-Continent Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player after defeating Buffalo, 53-43, in the championship game. Beach earned second-team all-conference accolades as a junior after helping the Penguins to a 23-6 record in 1996-97. Her 13.7 points per game ranked fourth on the squad but she led the team in rebounding with 8.6 boards per game. It was this season when Beach developed into a dangerous threepoint shooter, connecting on 57-of-152 three-point attempts. As a senior, Beach was an integral part of the team that set the school record for most wins in a season with a 28-3 mark in 1997-98. That same year, Youngstown State advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after upsett ing Memphis, 91-80. Beach, who missed four games that season, was one of top three-point shooters in the conference and drilled 40.7 percent of her threepoint attempts. The native of Atwater, Ohio, became the second straight YSU player to earn the Mid-Continent Conference Player of the Year Award after averaging 13.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. Beach currently ranks 13th on the all-time scoring list with 1,148 career points and is tied for third all-time with 146 career three-pointers.

During her freshman season in 1997-98, people caught a glimpse of what the future had in store for Brianne Kenneally (1997-2001). When senior Shannon Beach missed four games due to knee surgery, Kenneally replaced her in the starting lineup and the Penguins never skipped a beat. In the five games Kenneally started that season, she averaged an impressive 11.2 points per game. Even when she was relegated back to her reserve role, Kenneally made an impact in the Penguins’ biggest games of the season. The Brecksville, Ohio, native helped secure the Penguins’ 28-3 record; was named to the Mid-Con’s AllNewcomer Team; and averaged 12.5 points per game in two NCAA Tournament games. Her sophomore season saw even more accolades come her way as she led the Penguins with 16.3 points per game and fi nished 15th in the nation with an 85.9 free throw percentage. Kenneally was then named the Mid-Con’s Player of the Year. As a junior in 1999-2000, Kenneally racked up a league-best 18.7 points per game to lead the Penguins to a 22-9 mark, their fi ft h straight 20-win season. The 5-foot-9 guard won the league’s Player of the Year Award for the second consecutive year and was named MVP of the Mid-Con Tournament after leading YSU to its third NCAA Tournament appearance. Kenneally’s fi nal season was marked with triumph and tragedy as she was ranked third in the nation with a 24.5 scoring average when a knee injury ended her career. She ranks seventh on the all-time scoring list with 1,471 points and owns the career mark for most free throws made with 373.

The experience at Youngstown State was great for me. I would recommend Youngstown State to any player with pro aspirations, but more importantly, to get your education.

Your Success is Our Story You have a story. Everyone does. It’s about where you come from, what you think about, what you value. It’s about your friends, your family, your language, your music, your school. It’s about your particular skills and interests, what you’ve learned so far in life, how you relate to the world and other people. Right now, you’re about to start a whole new chapter in your story. In the book called My Life—by you, of course—the theme of this chapter is “Where do I want to go, and who do I want to become?” You have options you want to explore, places you want to see, things you want to do, ideas you want to propose, a career you want to pursue. That’s one reason you’re planning to go to college—to get going on that next chapter of your life, to become who you want to be. Colleges and universities have stories, too. How they started, what traditions they maintain, the way they look, the students they serve, the things they offer academically and socially, the role they play in their communities, and the role they play in the generation of new knowledge. Youngstown State University’s story is all those things. YSU is about outstanding academic quality, diversity of people and programs, and broad access to opportunity. But it is, overall, a culmination of the stories of all the students who in the past 100 years graduated and went on to make a difference. Our students - while they are here and after they graduate - are what YSU is all about.

Campus Overview • Opened in 1908, YSU celebrated its centennial during the 200708 academic year. As part of the celebration, the university launched a $44 million campaign for campus improvements.

When

David C. Sweet became Youngstown State University’s sixth president in July 2000, he mapped out a course that included three priorities: enrollment, partnerships, and diversity. Now in his tenth year, the University has made great strides in all three areas. Enrollment has jumped more than 16 percent since fall 2000 and is now at its highest level in 14 years. Over the last nine years, the number of minority students has increased more than 60 percent. And the University has initiated partnerships with the city of Youngstown, the Youngstown city school district, business, government, and non-profit organizations throughout the region. The University has also expanded academic programs at the associate, baccalaureate and graduate levels, including a new doctor of physical therapy degree. YSU reorganized its academic structure to better address the growing importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics at the state and national levels. As a result, two new colleges were created: the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. In partnership with the Youngstown city schools, the University opened Youngstown Early College, a high school on the YSU campus aimed at helping city school students earn college credit and a high school degree at the same time. YSU has worked in collaboration with the city of Youngstown to complete a nationally-recognized urban development plan, Youngstown 2010, in conjunction with the Centennial Campus Master Plan. In addition, the University has been a leader in the development of Wick Neighbors, a non-profit community organization that is spearheading a major redevelopment project on the 70 acres of land that comprises the Smoky Hollow neighborhood. Since 2000, the University has opened the $22 million University Courtyard Apartments and the $12.1 million Andrews Student Recreation and Wellness Center. The campus has recently completed the YSU Centennial Capital Campaign that has raised more than $50 million, exceeding the original goal by 14 percent. It is the largest fund-raising effort in YSU’s history. A centerpiece of the campaign is the construction of the new $34.3 million building for the Williamson College of Business Administration, which is now underway. In partnership with federal, state and local agencies, major improvements have been made to corridors leading to the campus. Prior to coming to YSU, Dr. Sweet was dean and professor of the Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State from 1978 to 2000. His leadership resulted in national recognition for the college’s graduate studies and its city’s management/urban policy program. Prior to joining Cleveland State, Dr. Sweet held a number of state cabinet posts, including the director of the State Department of Development. He also served as commissioner of the Ohio Public Utilities Commission and head of the state’s first energy agency. Prior to state service, he was director of regional economic research at the Battelle Institute in Columbus.

He previously served as the chairman of the Northeast-Midwest Institute, a Washington, D.C. policy research institute, president of the American Economic Development Council; and has been elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration. Dr. Sweet holds a Ph.D. from The Ohio State University, an M.A.from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, and a B.A. from the University of Rochester. He and his wife, Pat, live in Liberty, Ohio, and have two daughters, two sons and seven grandchildren. After a decade of success and service, Dr. Sweet will retire from the presidency on June 30, 2010, and the Board of Trustees is undertaking a search for his replacement.

xecutive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Ron Strollo, a former Penguin student-athlete, has worked diligently to ensure that today’s student-athletes have the support system in place to succeed not only at Youngstown State, but also in their future. Now in his ninth year as Athletics Director and 14th as a member of the department, his vision for successful broad-based programs and providing student-athletes tools to succeed on and off the playing fields is coming to fruition. Strollo has concentrated his priorities on facility improvements; full compliance of NCAA regulations; fiscal management and budgetary maintenance; streamlining department organization; increasing visibility and fundraising efforts of the Penguin Club; and enhancing the overall experience and competitiveness of studentathletes and programs. Outside of YSU, Strollo is also very involved on the regional and national level serving on several prominent committees. He is in his first of four years on the NCAA Division I Football Championship Selection Committee; is on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee; serves as the Central Region Chair of the NCAA Regional Advisory Committee; is on the Executive Committee of the FCS Athletic Directors Association; and serves as the Chair of the Horizon League Executive Committee. During his tenure, Strollo has placed a priority on the construction and enhancements of athletic venues. Currently, he is leading the final phases of a capital campaign to construct the Watson and Tressel Training Site, a $10 million indoor athletic practice facility which will include an indoor track and football practice field. The Beeghly Center has undergone more than $4 million in renovations. In the past year, Youngstown State acquired the 2009 Men’s Final Four basketball hoops, new strobe lighting was installed and the volleyball and men’s basketball locker rooms were refurbished. Last year, a new Dom Rosselli Court was installed and a weight room was built for the men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball and swimming and diving programs. Within the past two years in Stambaugh Stadium, office space in the athletic marketing and ticket offices and football suite received an enhancement, the weight room and athletic training offices were renovated, and upgrades were made to the baseball, soccer and softball locker rooms. Other recent upgrades include new chair-back seating (2009), a new southstadium scoreboard (2009), a concourse-level elevator (2005), a scoreboard and a Mitsubishi DiamondVision videoboard (2004) and a state-of-the-art SprinTurf playing surface (2002). He has also secured agreements for Eastwood Field, the home of the Cleveland Indians’ Class-A affiliate, and Cene Park to be the baseball team’s home fields and McCune Park to serve as the softball team’s home venue. Thanks to the benevolence of the Andrews Trust and the priority Strollo places on academics, the academic counseling center underwent a significant renovation and expansion and continues to receive technology upgrades. In the past eight years, the department, which has been recognized as a national leader for its graduation rates, has had many successes on and off the playing field. Under his leadership, Youngstown State earned full NCAA certification in 2007. This review of governance and commitment to rules, academic integrity, and equity and student-athlete well-being showed YSU athletics

operates in substantial conformity with the operating principles adopted by the NCAA Division I membership. More than half of the current 300-plus student-athletes have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher while nine teams have an overall GPA of at least 3.0. YSU’s Academic Progress Rate is well above the national average for public institutions, and its 93 percent graduation rate is at an all-time high. Eleven student-athletes have captured Academic All-America accolades while a total of 46 have been named to Academic All-District teams. YSU has won 13 Horizon League titles, and it won back-to-back Gateway Football Conference (now the Missouri Valley Football Conference) championships in 2005 and 2006. Most recently, YSU added the 2009 Horizon League Women’s Outdoor Track and Field and Women’s Golf Championships to its trophy cases. In Strollo’s role as the Executive Director of the Penguin Club, the organization has increased athletic endowed scholarship contributions annually. Annual events keep improving every year, and the growth of the Football Alumni Club has had a positive impact on the department. Strollo returned to his alma mater in 1996 as athletic business manager. In March 2000, he was named the school’s Associate Executive Director of Athletics. In his short time in that capacity, he helped spearhead the transition into the Horizon League. He has strong ties to the local community and to the athletic department. He grew up in nearby Austintown and attended Fitch High School. He played football for YSU from 1988 through 1991 for Coach Jim Tressel and was named captain of the first Division I-AA National Championship team in 1991. He earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting from Youngstown State in June, 1993. Ron and his wife, Nicole, reside in Austintown with their two children, Ryan and Rachel. Nicole is a former YSU student-athlete who competed in track and cross country from 1989 through 1993.

Penguin Nickname Legend Prior to 1933, Youngstown College had been referred to as "Y" College, YoCo, Wye Collegians and many times, simply the "Locals." There are two accounts of how the Penguin nickname came to be, and interestingly enough they come from the same evening on Jan. 30, 1933. But throughout the season prior to that contest, many of the members of the 1932-33 varsity men’s basketball team and their friends on campus spent idle moments in the cafeteria discussing suitable new names for our school sports combines, basketball, and fencing that year. The names considered covered every conceivable spectrum of animals, birds, and things associated with the steel city, but none seemed to fit. There was always someone who pointed out an inadequacy of some sort. The first account states that on a cold, freezing night at a men’s basketball game at West Liberty State Teachers College, in West Liberty, W. Va., a spectator watching the members of the team stomp on the floor and swing their arms made them look like Penguins and without a nickname, the fans took a liking to the word. The second account comes from the trip to West Liberty in which the road that evening had been YSU Alma Mater hit by a snowfall between one and two feet deep. All hail to thee O Youngstown, The passengers in two of the cars found it necessary Our Alma Mater fair; on several occasions to get out and help push their In sunlight and starshine vehicles out of snow drifts or road area with snow We see thee in all thy glory. ruts, difficult to drive through.

The date of the Will win for YSU "Jambar" issue was Dec. 15, 1933. Within the next five or six weeks, Penguins became our newly accepted nickname both in the Jambar and on the sports pages of the then two local newspapers. The name was introduced after the first game with Slippery Rock in the Dec. 15, 1933 issue of the "Jambar". The Youngstown Telegram first used the nickname in a headline on Dec. 29, 1933 while The Vindicator first acknowledged the nickname in its Jan. 27, 1934 edition.

The City of Youngstown was incorporated in 1867 and named for John Young, who purchased approximately 15,000 acres (the entire township) for slightly more than $16,000 in 1797 from the United States Government. With its setting in the Mahoning Valley along the Mahoning River, Youngstown quickly grew to become a thriving city in the 1920s as part of the industrial belt that stretched from Massachusetts to the Mississippi River. The iron and steel industry created a strong blue-collar work ethic in the city and surrounding areas that is still very evident, even decades after the closing of the mills. At its peak, Youngstown was the third-largest steel producing city in the country. Today, with a new citywide revitalization plan coordinated between the city, Youngstown State University and nearly 200 volunteers, neighborhood organizations and businesses, a new vision for Youngstown Quick Facts exists. The award-winning plan, Population: 83,906 Youngstown 2010, calls for a more Area: 34.2 square miles diverse and vibrant economy Metropolitan: 586,939 founded on the current strengths with the city and region, such as YSU, the health care sector and Attractions • More than 50 area golf courses the arts community.

There are also two auditoriums in the city, several museums and the Covelli Centre, a modern arena opened in 2005. Youngstown is also a hotbed for football. In addition to YSU’s four national championships in the 1990s, many coaches have ties to the city. Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel is formerly the head coach at YSU, and current college head coaches Bo Pelini (Nebraska), Bob Stoops (Oklahoma), Mike Stoops (Arizona) and Mark Mangino (Kansas) are all from the Valley.

The view of Lake Glacier from Fellows Riverside Gardens in Mill Creek Park is one of the most scenic areas in the Mahoning Valley.

Five boxing champions have their roots in Youngstown. The most recent champion, middleweight Kelly Pavlik, wore the Youngstown State “Y” and Pete the Penguin on his trunks when he beat Jermaine Taylor on HBO in 2008.

Built in 2005, the 5,700-seat Covelli Centre is a large part of the downtown revitalization project. It houses minor league hockey and arena football, concerts, ice shows and much more.

The amount of local media coverage dedicated to Youngstown State athletics ranks near the top in both the Horizon League and the Missouri Valley Football Conference. As the main sports attraction in the Mahoning Valley, the Penguins receive daily coverage from five television stations, two major newspapers and several radio stations. Regional media coverage extends to Akron, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Missouri Valley Football Conference contests are frequently featured as nationally televised games of the week, and the Horizon League has a partnership with ESPN and its stations to broadcast men’s and women’s basketball games. Football and basketball games are broadcast locally on tape-delay.

Live Internet Coverage In addition to coverage provided by traditional media, the successes of Youngstown State studentathletes are regularly broadcast live across the world over the Internet. The Horizon League is a recognized leader in video streaming through the Horizon League Network (HLN) and produced more than 300 free, live events during the 2008-09 academic year. In addition to live games, HLN includes highlight vignettes of all-19 League championships, weekly highlight videos during the men’s and women’s basketball season and other special programming covering Horizon League institutions, coaches and student-athletes. Nearly every one of YSU’s home men’s and women’s basketball games and all league road contests are broadcast over the HLN. Video of several home volleyball and soccer games and audio of several baseball and softball games are When Cindy Martin (left) was named YSU’s women’s basketball coach, the news conference was streamed live over the Internet. broadcast live on AM 570 WKBN and the Horizon League Network.

Penguin Gameday, a production of the local NBC affiliate, showcases upcoming opponents, reviews past contests and provides an avenue for fans to become familiar with studentathletes. Penguin Playbook is an hour-long radio show broadcast on the high-power AM station 570 WKBN.

YSU received front-page coverage of its Horizon League track title in the Youngstown Vindicator.
