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 that ti me, refurbishing has been done to the hallways, court lighti ng, classrooms, fl ooring, lobbies, basketball and Olympic Sports offi ces, swimming pool, and locker rooms. Also The Coaches Court, a plush room for Athleti c Department functi ons and press conferences, was constructed.

Located just south of Stambaugh Stadium and north of the Veterans Plaza and the An-drews Wellness and Recreati on Center, the Beeghly Center is the home of the women’s basketball program. Basketball support ar-eas in the facility include an athleti c train-ing room, weight room, coaches offi ces, 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 in-cludes an Olympic-sized swimming and diving facility, racquetball and squash courts, class-rooms, and administrati ve offi ces.

The enti re facility was built at a cost of $5.5 million and opened in 1972. It was dedi-cated in the memory of Mr. and Mrs. Leon A. Beeghly, founders of the Standard Slag Com-pany 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 aft er constructi on, the origi-nal seati ng capacity of 6,000 was increased to

6,500 with the additi on 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 fl oor expansion along the baselines.

Other recent improvements to the arena include the additi on of two scoreboards, expanded press row seati ng, a redesigned court, energy-effi cient lighti ng and a new sound system.

On Sept. 15, 1996, YSU dedicated Veter-ans’ Plaza directly in front of Beeghly Center. This $500,000 community project was funded in-part through private donati ons to honor all United States Veterans.

Both the Youngstown State men’s and women’s basketball teams routi nely enjoy large crowds. Twice last season the women played in front of more than 2,300 fans, in-cluding a season-high 2,567 on Jan. 19 against Detroit. For that fan turnout against the Ti-tans, YSU won the NCAA Division I Pack The House Challenge for having the largest at-tendance among Horizon League teams. The Penguins annually rank second in the Horizon League in att endance for women’s games. Nearly 6,200 fans packed Beeghly Center last season for the men’s game between YSU and Butler on Jan. 19.

In additi on to athleti c events, the Beeghly Center serves as a site for graduati on cer-emonies and the President’s State of the University Address. In the past several years, wrestling matches, the Harlem Globetrott ers, concerts, presidenti al rallies and other func-ti ons have been held in the arena.

2008 09 TEAM INFORMATION > PRESEASON NOTEBOOKNew Coach Cindy Marti n Takes Reigns of Program

The Penguins will be under the directi on of fi rst-year head coach Cindy Marti n, who comes to YSU aft er three years at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Marti n, who has also coached at West Virginia University, compiled a three-year record of 70-23 at IUP and won at least 19 games every season. Marti n is the third head coach for YSU since it joined the Horizon League prior to the 2001-02 season.

New Leaders in Points, Rebounds, Assists Await

YSU has big holes to fi ll with the loss of Heather Karner, Lauren Branson and Jessica Schloemp. All three started every game last season and averaged nearly 25 minutes apiece. Karner led the Penguins in scoring, Schloemp was the top rebounder and Branson led the Horizon League in assists. Karner posted half (87) of the team’s 174 3-pointers a year ago, and Branson had 167 of YSU’s 438 assists. Velissa Vaughn and Monique Godfrey have both played point guard in past seasons, but neither have as many assists in their career as Branson did just last season.

Veteran Group Looking Forward to Increased Roles

Although the Penguins have a veteran group with six seniors and three juniors, the only returning player to start more than half of the games last year is Tiara Scott . Seniors Velissa Vaughn and Kelsey Gurganus started 15 apiece and Ashley Pendleton started eight ti mes. Vaughn has the most returning experience in the starti ng lineup with 36 starts in her career. Monique Godfrey started 33 contests in her fi rst two seasons before missing all but two games a year ago, and Pendleton and Nikita LaFleur have each started 17 games.

Penguins Picked Ninth in Preseason Poll

Youngstown State has been picked to fi nish ninth in the Horizon League this season in a preseason poll of the league’s coaches, sports informati on contacts and a media representati ve from each market. The Penguins, coming off a seventh-place fi nish in 2007-08, earned 71 points in the poll. Defending regular-season champion Green Bay earned 24 of the 30 fi rst-place votes to fi nish atop the poll with 284 points. Wright State was picked second with 241 points and one fi rst-place vote, Milwaukee received 240 points and two fi rst-place votes and tournament champion Cleveland State picked up one fi rst-place vote and 228 points.

Scott Earns Preseason Accolades

Senior forward Tiara Scott has been named to the Horizon League Preseason Second-Team in conjuncti on with the preseason poll. Scott was a second-team all-conference player a year ago and was also named to the all-newcomer team. In her fi rst year at YSU aft er transferring from Western Nebraska Community College, Scott ranked fi ft h in the league in scoring and sixth in rebounding in conference contests. She also fi nished fourth in fi eld goal percentage, 11th in free throw percentage and 13th in blocks.

Scott , Vaughn Have Had Success in League Games

Tiara Scott and Velissa Vaughn both averaged double fi gures in points in Horizon League contests last season. Scott averaged a team-high 15 points while Vaughn scored 11.4 per game. In non-conference aff airs, Scott averaged 10.4 points and Vaughn was held to a 2.2 clip. Vaughn also averaged 8.3 points as a sophomore against the Horizon League.

Penguins Looking to Godfrey for Lift

The Penguins are hoping senior guard Monique Godfrey can enjoy similar success to her sophomore year aft er a knee injury kept her out of all but two games last season. As a sophomore, Godfrey started 22 games, averaged 10.8 points overall and a team-best 12.1 points in league games.

Pendleton Conti nues Climb up Blocking Chart

Despite starti ng just 17 contests in her career, Ashley Pendleton ranks ninth in school history in career blocks with 60. All but fi ve of those blocks have come in the last two seasons. Her 33 blocks last year were the third-most ever by a junior and the eighth-most regardless of class. She also ranked fi ft h in the Horizon League last season to help YSU fi nish second as a team.

Gurganus Greets Greater Responsibility

Aft er sitti ng out a season because of NCAA rules, Kelsey Gurganus played in 29 games and started 15 in her fi rst season aft er transferring from Southern Miss. She’ll be looked upon to contribute even more this season aft er being elected a team captain in the spring. Her .371 shooti ng percentage was the best among YSU’s regular guards last year, and her .846 eff ort from the free-throw line led the team.

Coaching Staff Knows Horizon League, Region Well

Head Coach Cindy Marti n assembled a coaching staff that was very familiar with the Horizon League and teams in the midwest. Meredith Baugher coached the past three seasons at Valparaiso and played there from 2001-05. Shannon Sword played at Cleveland State from 2000-04 and coached two seasons as a graduate assistant at Division II Ashland University in Ohio. Bernard Scott coached in Ohio for six years at Dayton and Toledo before spending last season at Arizona.

80 points every game. I think we’re going to have to win the old-fashioned way with solid man-to-man defense. There’s no loose ball that we shouldn’t get to or at least have a chance to get. We’re going to push our break, run the fl oor and hopefully outlast teams at the end of the game. If we can conti nue with what we’ve accomplished in the preseason, then that’s defi nitely going to be possible.”

2008 09 TEAM INFORMATION > SEASON OUTLOOK

When Youngstown State Uni-versity president Dr. David C. Sweet introduced Cindy Mar-

ti n as the Penguins’ new head women’s bas-ketball coach, he linked her hiring to the cel-ebrati on of YSU’s centennial. The theme was “a proud past and a promising future.”

The program’s recent past is among the most noteworthy of any Penguins’ team, with three NCAA Tournament appearances in a fi ve-year span in the late 1990s. Sweet certainly isn’t the only one hoping that Mar-ti n is the right coach to lead the program’s future into a new era of nati onal success.

The easy - and possibly popular - percep-ti on surrounding the 2008-09 season is that it will be a rebuilding year as players adapt to a new style and try to overcome the big shoes to fi ll with the loss of three major piec-es from last year.

People forget, though, that there are six seniors on the roster, and they are looking at this season as nothing close to a rebuilding year. Marti n has been emphati c about re-establishing the winning culture in Penguins basketball since she was hired in April, and she’s been equally resounding that those six seniors will lead the resurgence from the season’s fi rst ti p.

“To treat our seniors as best we can, we’ve had the same approach to this season as if it were four years from now,” Marti n said. “We’re going to give 100 percent eff ort, we’re going to get in shape and we’re going to work together as a team on our funda-mentals. We’re going to get aft er it each and every ti me we step onto the court to try and have a chance to play in the championship game at the end of the season.”

Marti n comes to Youngstown with a background in turning programs and its student-athletes into winners both on and off the court. She led Division II Indiana Uni-versity of Pennsylvania (IUP) to 70 wins and two league ti tles in three seasons, and she’s counti ng that the same up-tempo play and blue-collar work ethic that resulted in cham-pionships there will carry over at YSU.

“My personal approach to life is ‘work hard, be passionate about what you do and always try to get bett er every day’, and I think the ladies are buying into that men-tality,” Marti n said. “That dedicati on to the small details in practi ce will come into play at the end of a game. When there’s 30 sec-onds left , and we have a chance to win a game we shouldn’t have won or have to fi ght

a team off that makes a comeback, you can execute because everybody is used to giving everything they have.”

From day one, Marti n has said that the Penguins have the right tools in place to win immediately.

“One of the reasons I was so excited about this job was the traditi on and history here at Youngstown State,” Marti n said. “I was also excited about the faciliti es because you can tell how much a school wants to win based on the fi nancial contributi ons it makes to the program. We have a brand new fl oor, a great locker room, fantasti c offi ces and a fi rst-class weight room. As a coach, when you look in this profession to take a job, you have to ask yourself ‘can I win there’. The two key things you look at are traditi on and the fi nancial resources. I think both of those things are in place at Youngstown State.”

In additi on to hard-working student-ath-letes and the resources to win, Marti n has assembled a young, energeti c coaching staff where she is the oldest at age 33. She has surrounded herself with two assistant coaches - Shannon Sword and Meredith Baugh-er - who played at Horizon League schools and another - Bernard Scott - who has spent six years as an assistant in Ohio.

“I’m excited about our staff because we’ve put to-gether a fun, hardworking group that has same quali-ti es that we are going to look for in a recruit,” Marti n said. “We’re going to go aft er re-cruits who are dedicated, skilled, blue-collar workers who love this sport.”

Although there are sev-eral student-athletes on the squad who have shown the potenti al to be a “go-to” player, Marti n said there isn’t going to be one superstar. Instead, Marti n plans to use a “team” approach where someone new may be count-ed on to step up every night.

“I don’t want pressure on any one individual because we’re going to win and lose as a team,” she said. “I don’t think we’re going to score

Physical forward senior Ashley Pendleton is one of just four post players on the squad.

“I think we’re going to have to win the old-fashioned way with solid man-to-man defense. There’s no

loose ball that we shouldn’t get to or at least have a chance to get. We’re going to push our break,

run the fl oor and hopefully outlast teams at the end of the game. If

we can conti nue with what we’ve accomplished in the preseason, then

that’s defi nitely going to be possible.”

Frontcourt

Although the Penguins have only four frontcourt players compared to nine guards, the group is versati le and athleti c in the half court.

Senior forward Tiara Scott returns as the most regarded player on the roster, coming off a season in which she was named to the Horizon League Second-Team and All-Newcomer Team. A transfer from West-ern Nebraska Community College, she ranked second on the team in both points (13.1) and rebounds (6.5) per game in her fi rst season. She showed the ability to take over a game and led the Penguins in both scoring and rebounding six diff erent games.

Fellow seniors Ashley Pendleton and Nikita LaFleur and junior trans-fer Rachael Manuel will join Scott in the frontcourt.

Pendleton had a solid junior season as she trailed only Scott in shoot-ing percentage (40.9) and averaged a career-best 6.9 points. Pendle-ton has also shown defensive prowess, posti ng 55 blocks in the past two years. She has plenty of experience, having played in all but one game over the past two seasons and averaging more than 17 minutes per game in both.

LaFleur is a seasoned veteran who fought through a nagging ankle injury last season to average just under 10 minutes per contest. She started 16 games as a sophomore when she averaged 4.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks.

Manuel, a 6-foot 3-inch forward with a good shooti ng touch, will see her fi rst acti on aft er sitti ng out last season due to NCAA transfer regu-lati ons. She was a top reserve off the bench at Southern Miss before coming to Youngstown.

“It’s nice to have frontcourt players that have some height, size and athleti cism to them,” Marti n said. “We’re working on the physical part, and I think we’re going to be a lot more physical inside this season than the team was last year.”

“We are going to be a litt le bit more versati le with Rachael and Ti-ara being able to step out and hit from the outside. There will be ti mes when we pack two posts inside, and there will be ti mes when we isolate it and just put one in there and spread out the fl oor.”

Backcourt

With an already solid returning base, Marti n added fi ve guards to the team to bring the total to nine. Everyone is expected to see plenty of playing ti me to keep the pace in the up-tempo style. Three of the guards are seniors, two are juniors and four others are newcomers. They will have the task of replacing four-year starti ng point guard Lauren Branson and scoring leader Heather Karner.

Seniors Velissa Vaughn and Kelsey Gurganus were elected team cap-tains in the spring and return with the most experience.

Vaughn averaged more than 11 points against the Horizon League last season and started 13 of the 18 games. She scored at least 10 points in 10 diff erent league games and nett ed more than 20 in back-to-back games in late February. A shooti ng-guard who spelled Branson at the point at ti mes last year, she will be counted on to be a primary scorer as she recovers from shin splits that hampered her performance down the stretch.

Gurganus averaged more than six points and 23 minutes in her fi rst season aft er transferring from Southern Miss. A starter in 15 games, she led the squad in free throw percentage hitti ng just under 85 percent, and she shot bett er than 40 percent inside the 3-point arc. Her .371 shooti ng percentage was the best among YSU’s regular guards last year

Senior Monique Godfrey will look to return to a prominent role af-ter missing all but two games last season because of an ongoing knee injury. As a sophomore she averaged 10.8 points in 27 games and shot 78.9 percent from the charity stripe. Godfrey also fi lled in at point guard during her fi rst two seasons.

Junior Kaitlyn March has shown a big improvement during the off -season and will see ti me on the wing.

Freshman Macey Nortey was Marti n’s fi rst signee and is the only true point guard on the squad. She has solid ball-handling skills and great speed in the open court, which will help push the tempo. Nortey was a two-ti me all-league selecti on and fl oor leader at Millikan High in Long Beach, Calif.

Sophomore walk-on Makala Gasparek and Camisha Alexander are being coached to play the point and shooti ng guard positi ons. Gasparek is a graduate of nearby Boardman High who is quick on defense and athleti c. Alexander signed early as a standout from Woodrow Wilson High in Beckley, W.Va. She was named First-Team Class AAA all-state her senior season aft er averaging 20 points, and she earned honorable menti on all-state as a junior when she scored 15 points per game. She is a strong, physical player that can also shoot from the outside.

Freshman Kenya Middlebrooks and JUCO transfer Jaquett a Westley can play at either wing. Middlebrooks is an athleti c guard from Toledo, Ohio, with strong rebounding and defensive skills. She was a third-team all-district selecti on at the Division I level who helped lead Waite High to two conference ti tles. Westley is a transfer from Spoon River College who was named First-Team All-Region 24 as a sophomore when she av-eraged 16 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals.

“It’s going to be nice to have some depth at the guard positi on,” Marti n said. “I think it’s healthy to have competi ti on and have to duke it out with someone at practi ce every day to try and earn playing ti me.

“All fi ve of our newcomer guards can play defense for 94 feet, and that was a big part of why we recruited them,” Marti n said.

“The staff is so excited to get the season started and see all of the hard work and eff ort that the ladies put in this fall pay off .

Head Coach Cindy Marti n will rely on Tiara Scott and a veteran group of posts; and Macey Nortey and an infl ux of young guards.



2008 09 TEAM INFORMATION > HORIZON LEAGUE

Celebrati ng its 30th anniversary in 2008-09, the Horizon League conti nues to aspire toward its goal of being one of the nati on’s leading athleti cs conferences while being recognized as a leader in the development of student-athletes as leaders and role models.

The Horizon League membership features ten public and private insti tuti ons that have impres-sive academic reputati ons and a storied traditi on of broad-based athleti c programs. Current mem-bership includes Butler University, Cleveland State University, the University of Detroit Mercy, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Loyola Uni-versity Chicago, Valparaiso University, the Uni-versity of Wisconsin-Green Bay, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Wright State University and Youngstown State University.

The Horizon League’s primary focus is on add-ing value to the educati onal experience through its four platf orms of athleti c performance, aca-demic achievement, community outreach, and personal responsibility and accountability. It is the League’s belief that athleti cs is a powerful and visible resource tool that can be used to enhance student-athletes’ collegiate experience. The Ho-rizon League’s goals are to enhance the holisti c university experience for the student-athlete, to create an affi liati on of insti tuti ons with similar athleti c goals, and to adhere to the principals of integrity, diversity, excellence and growth.

The Horizon League sponsors competi ti on in 19 sports – nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, swimming and div-ing, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld and tennis) and ten for women (basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, soft ball, swimming and diving, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld, tennis and volleyball). In all sports, all teams parti cipate in their respecti ve postseason League championships regardless of regular-sea-son performance, allowing all student-athletes an opportunity to qualify for NCAA championships. The League receives automati c bids to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s golf, men’s and women’s soc-cer, soft ball, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.

The Horizon League is headquartered in In-dianapolis, the “Amateur Sports Capital of the World,” with offi ces in the Pan American Plaza (201 S. Capitol Avenue), located a block from Lu-cas Oil Stadium and just minutes from Conseco Fieldhouse, the State Capitol Building, Victory Field and the NCAA nati onal offi ce.

A PROUD HISTORY

Founded on June 16, 1979, as the Mid-western 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 mem-bers Butler and Loyola as well as the Uni-versity 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, Mil-waukee and Wright State came aboard in 1994 in the largest non-merger conference expansion in history, with 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 directi on that has brought the League closer to its stated goal of being one of the nati on’s top ten conferences with a focus on enhancing the student-athletes experience by upgrading the League’s market and competi ti ve positi ons.

ATHLETIC SUCCESS

In the past few years, the Horizon League has enjoyed unprecedented success on the nati onal stage, highlighted by three Sweet Sixteen ap-pearances (Butler 2003, 2007; Milwaukee 2005) and eight wins in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in the past six seasons. In other sports, League teams have won at least one game in their respecti ve NCAA Championships each of the last six seasons in men’s soccer (Milwaukee 2002-05, UIC 2006-07), with UIC just one win away from the College Cup in 2007. In soft ball, League teams won a game in the nati onal tour-nament 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 four 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 Bas-ketball Championship. Butler’s Victoria Mitchell became the League’s fi rst NCAA individual cham-pion when she won the 3,000-meter steeple-chase at the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and then fi nished fourth at the 2005 NCAA Cross Country 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 bett er, including more than 600 for the fall 2007 and spring 2008 semes-ters. Forty-eight student-athletes were named to ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-Dis-trict teams in 2007-08, while 14 earned Academic All-America honors, including a pair of fi rst-team selecti ons.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

In additi on to its athleti cs success, the Hori-zon League has secured a well-earned reputati on for its community service initi ati ves.

Each January, member insti tuti ons partner with local elementary schools for an art, music and essay contest highlighti ng the life of Dr. Mar-ti n Luther King, Jr. with winners recognized at League games on the weekend of MLK Day.

The Horizon League Student-Athlete Adviso-ry Committ ee (SAAC) also has conti nued a tradi-ti on of working with youth in Indianapolis during its annual summer meeti ng, while the League, it 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 aware-ness for such causes as breast cancer, diabetes and hurricane relief, while hosti ng blood drives, neighborhood clean-ups, Big Brother/Big Sister programs and more.

SPORTSMANSHIP

One of the Horizon League’s points of em-phasis is fostering collegial environments for competi ti on among student-athletes, coaches, administrators and fans in a pro-acti ve approach.

2008 09 TEAM INFORMATION > COMMUNITY AND CLASSROOM

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

At Youngstown State, there is more to being a student-athlete than playing basketball. Under Head Coach Cindy Marti n and her emphasis on serving others, the Youngstown State women’s basketball program has become a fi xture in the community. The team completed seven community service projects prior to the start of the season. Those projects included:

YSU Freshman “Move-In”• Park Vista Reti rement Community of • Youngstown Apple Butt er Festi valServing spaghetti at a Youngstown church• A sidewalk chalk drawing competi ti on for • young fans before a YSU football gameCoaches vs. Cancer Walk• Pink Ribbon Walk for breast cancer• Halloween celebrati on at Sunrise Senior • Living

In the classroom, Marti n and the Penguins have been successful apart. Now academic goals are higher with their union.

Across all programs, Youngstown State student-athletes are having unprecedented success in the classroom. An all-ti me high of 41 student-athletes earned a perfect 4.0 during the Spring 2008 semester, and 56 percent of all student-athletes achieved a 3.0 GPA or higher.

The women’s basketball team posted a team cumulati ve GPA of 3.24 through Spring 2008, and 10 student-athletes had higher than a 3.0 GPA.

Lauren Branson graduated with honors and a fi nal GPA of 3.93 in special educati on. She twice earned Academic All-Horizon League honors, and she was named CoSIDA Academic All-District as a senior. The Penguins have had an academic all-league honoree in women’s basketball in each of the past fi ve seasons.

While at IUP, two of Marti n’s student-athletes were voted to the Academic All-America team. Her 2006 squad ranked 15th nati onally for team

Coach Marti n on Community Service

I’m ready to embrace the community here in Youngstown. I like doing

community service as a team with the enti re coaching staff and all of the student-athletes there at the same ti me. 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 ti me 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.

GPA with a 3.422, and, most impressively, she had a 100 percent graduati on rate. She monitors academic progress personally by sitti ng with the team during study table sessions or having an assistant coach stand in.

Marti n’s priority on academics is also evident in the coaching staff she has assembled. Shannon Sword was a First-Team Academic All-Horizon League selecti on at Cleveland State. Meredith Baugher was a three-ti me Mid-Con All-Academic Team honoree, and she helped Valparaiso rank in the top-25 nati onally in team GPA for all seven of her seasons as a student-athlete and assistant coach.

Cindy Marti n, a proven winner who has helped lead rebirths for two programs in her young career, is

hoping to begin Youngstown State’s turnaround during her fi rst season as the Penguins’ head coach.

Marti n, a blue-collar worker who describes herself as the most competi ti ve person someone will ever meet, has already taken steps to insti ll her passion and fi re into the YSU program. She’s installed an up-tempo, aggressive style of play; she’s emphasized pressure on defense; and she’s implemented her Three C’s to success: classroom, community and court.

This season, she will look to conquer a fourth “C” by reshaping the current culture surrounding the Youngstown State women’s bas-ketball - a program that was nati onally competi ti ve just a short few years ago.

Marti n 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 accumu-lated an overall record of 70-23 and a .753 winning percentage at IUP and helped West Virginia to two postseason berths as the Mountain-eers’ top assistant recruiti ng coordinator.

Aft er spending four years with the Mountaineers, Marti n earned her fi rst job as a collegiate head coach at Division II IUP. In just three short years, Marti n turned IUP into a nati onal power.

Last season she was named the Women’s Basketball Coaches As-sociati on’s (WBCA) 2007-08 Division II East Region Coach of the Year aft er leading the Crimson Hawks to a school-best 27-5 record. She

MEET THE PENGUINS > COACHING STAFF

guided the team to its second consecuti ve Pennsylvania State Athleti c Conference championship, and IUP spent the enti re season ranked in the USA Today/ESPN/WBCA top 25 poll, climbing as high as fi ft h. IUP also fi nished the year as the No. 1 seed in the NCAA East Region.

In 2007-08, Jahzinga Tracey became the fi rst IUP women's basket-ball player in 15 years to be recognized as an All-American when she was selected by the Women's Basketball Coaches Associati on.

During the 2006-07 season, Marti n was named the PSAC West Coach of the Year aft er 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.

Marti n 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 aft er being picked to fi nish fi ft h in the preseason poll. The 19 wins marked a nine-and-a-half game im-provement from a 9-18 campaign in 2004-05, which is the seventh-highest increase in the history of Division II women’s basketball.

Prior to IUP, Marti n spent four years (2001-05) as the top assistant coach and recruiti ng coordinator at Big East member West Virginia. Her eff orts helped lead the Mountaineers’ program back to respect-ability, culminati ng in consecuti ve 21-win seasons and a pair of post-season appearances during her fi nal two years.

In 2003-04, the Mountaineers received an at-large berth to the NCAA tournament for the fi rst ti me in 13 seasons. In March 2005, the team advanced to the championship game of the postseason Wom-

YSU Women’s Basketball Camp Series



2007 08 IN REVIEW > SEASON RECAPThe 2007-08 Youngstown State women's

basketball season was one that was marked with many team and individual accolades. Coming off the 2006-07 season in which they did not have a senior, the Penguins relied heav-ily on their seniors. The group of four - Lauren Branson, Heather Karner, Kira Mowen and Jes-sica Schloemp - responded.

Branson led the Horizon League with 167 assists and 5.4 assists per game. Her total ranked as the fourth-most for a single season in YSU history, and her 493 career assists moved her into a ti e for fi ft h. She was named to the Horizon League All-Defensive Team and CoSI-DA Academic All-District. A four-year starter at point guard, she was honored as the Penguins’ Defensive Player of the Year, leading the team with 55 steals. The Cincinnati , Ohio, nati ve also reti red as YSU’s career record holder in free-throw percentage by converti ng 82.5 percent (137-for-166).

Schloemp also spent all four of her colle-giate years in Youngstown and ended her ca-reer with a solid campaign. She fi nished with a team-high 226 rebounds, ranked second in the Horizon League with 7.2 boards per game and was YSU’s top rebounder in 13 games. She fi nished her career with 618 rebounds, which ranks her 10th in school history. She also ranks sixth in career games played with 114, and she appeared in 104 straight contests to end her career. Schloemp picked up the Penguin Hustle Award at the postseason banquet.

Karner played just two years for the Red and White, but she made the most of her short ti me. She sank a school-re-cord 87 3-pointers last season to break the old mark of 78 set by Tiff any Adams in 1992-93. She drained 139 treys in her two years, which ranks as the sixth-most in school history. Karner led the team in scoring for the second straight year with 434 points, which ranks ti ed for 19th on the YSU single-season chart. She re-ceived the YSU Dedicati on Award for her eff orts.

Mowen was a transfer from Illinois who played for two seasons at YSU as a reserve guard. She greatly improved her shooti ng as a senior and played in 39 games during her career. She earned the team’s Spirit Award at the end of the season.

While the seniors’ accomplishments were noteworthy, Tiara Scott was the team’s Most Valuable Player in her fi rst year as a transfer from Western Nebraska CC. She earned Second-Team All-Horizon League honors aft er averaging 13.1 points per game overall and 15 points against league opponents. Her 405 points rank 25th on the YSU single-season scoring chart while her 54.5 fi eld-goal percent-age ranks seventh.

Together, Scott and Karner became the fi rst pair of players to eclipse the 400-point

mark in the same season since Ann Marie Marti n (506), Caroline McCombs (437) and Teresita Jones (402) in 1997-98. Scott and Karner, who played together in junior college, both earned Horizon League All-Newcomer Team accolades.

Junior Ashley Pendleton conti nued her ascent on the all-ti me blocks chart. She swatt ed 33 shots to up her career total to 60, which ranks ninth in school history. The 33 blocks were the eighth-most in a single season.

Velissa Vaughn earned the Most Improved Player Award, starti ng 15 of the last 16 games and ranking third on the team in scoring. She averaged 11.4 points per game in Horizon League games and 7.9 points overall.

The team notched 14 victories dur-ing the season, which was the most since the 1999-2000 squad that won 22 en route to an NCAA Tournament appearance. The 2007-08 Guins also matched the school-mark for most Ho-rizon League victories with eight, tying the 2001-02 team.

The season’s fi rst seven games were

indicati ve of the roller coaster results that were to come. The Penguins started by drop-ping their fi rst three contests against Buff alo, Niagara and Long Island, but they responded by winning four straight.

The fi rst victory was a come-from-behind eff ort against Albany at the LIU Turkey Classic. The Penguins trailed by as many as 11 in the fi rst half before Karner and Pendleton orches-trated the comeback. Karner had a game-high 17 points while Pendleton had her fi rst career double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds) en route to earning all-tournament team honors.

The Penguins went on to defeat Toledo, 55-48, in their home opener on Nov. 29, Saint Francis (Pa.), 58-57, and Central Michigan 66-58. The four-game winning streak was its lon-gest since 1999-2000.

YSU dropped the next three games against tough opponents Miami (Ohio), Cincinnati and Ohio State, but it responded by winning three straight.

An impressive win at Akron on Dec. 21 gave the Penguins some momentum before a 13-day break for the holidays. Scott burst onto the scene against the Zips, posti ng 25 points and 21 rebounds to lead the Penguins to a 74-56 Senior Kira Mowen earned YSU’s Spirit Award.

Senior Jessica Schloemp led YSU in rebounds and earned the Penguin Hustle Award.



2007 08 IN REVIEW > SEASON RECAPvictory. Both were career-high totals, and Scott began a stretch of making 24 consecuti ve free throws in the game, which ranks as the sixth-longest streak in school history.

The Penguins went on to defeat UIC, 73-62, behind four players in double fi gures. Then, they defeated Loyola, 70-58, to start 2-0 in the Horizon League for the fi rst ti me.

In a ti e for fi rst place, the Penguins hit the road to take on Milwaukee and Green Bay, who were picked to fi nish fi rst and second in the league’s preseason poll. The Penguins made valiant comeback eff orts in the second half of both games but fell short both ti mes. They trailed by 17 with 15 minutes left against the Panthers and cut the margin to one before falling, 76-66. The Penguins then trailed by 20 at halft ime at Green Bay before a 56-point showing in the second half cut the defi cit to just three in an 85-80 loss.

YSU rebounded by beati ng Wright State and Detroit at home to remain unbeaten in league contests at the Beeghly Center. A season-high 2,567 fans watched the win over the Titans.

With a league record of 4-2 and sitti ng ti ed for third in the standings, YSU had its tough-est porti on of the schedule on deck with three straight road contests and home games against Green Bay and Milwaukee.

A cold shooti ng spell in the second-half doomed the Penguins in a 77-64 loss to Cleve-land State, but the Penguins responded with a 92-79 victory at Valparaiso on Jan. 31. YSU sank

14 3-pointers in the contest and erased a nine-point second-half defi cit to move to 5-3 in the league.

The hot shooti ng didn’t last, how-ever, as YSU shot below 33 percent in losses at Butler and to Green Bay. With its record at 10-11 overall and 5-5 in the league, YSU gave all it could in a double-overti me loss to Milwaukee.

The Penguins got two huge road wins at Detroit, 62-59, and Wright State, 66-58, the following week, and with three straight home games upcoming, opti mism was high.

The second-place Vikings came in on a three-game slide, but they rebounded by shooti ng 54 percent en route to an 82-66 victory. Vaughn scored a career-high 28 points for YSU, but no other player had more than eight points for the Penguins.

YSU dropped a one-point heart-breaker to Butler when it couldn’t get a shot off as ti me expired, and a second-half lapse against Valparaiso resulted in a 70-59 setback.

Back on the road, YSU allowed Loyo-la to shoot 61 percent in the second half in an 86-70 loss that extended its losing streak to four. Head Coach Tisha Hill announced that she would resign at the end of the season fol-lowing the loss.

With some fi ght remaining, the Penguins held off a late UIC rally to defeat the Flames 71-62 and secure the No. 7 seed in the Horizon League Tournament.

Playing host to No. 10 Detroit in the opening round, the Penguins earned a 65-54 victory in the fi nal home game for the four seniors and Hill. Karner made fi ve 3-pointers to set the single season record and scored a game-high 18 points to lead the Penguins to their fi rst-ever victory in the Horizon League tournament.

The Penguins had No. 2 Wright State next in the tournament, a team they had defeated twice during the regular season. YSU trailed 37-29 at halft ime and fell behind by as many as 16 in the second half before a late push made the fi nal score 69-60.

The team announced its award winners at the postseason banquet on March 30, and Cindy Marti n, a woman with a track record of turning programs around, was hired as the fi ft h head coach in school history just 12 days later.

Senior Lauren Branson was a four-year starter who was named the team’s Defensive MVP.

Senior 3-point specialist Heather Karner earned the YSU Dedicati on Award.

2007 08 IN REVIEW > HORIZON LEAGUE RECAP

“I think as a coach, when you look in this profession to take a job, you have to ask ‘can I win there’. The two key things you look at are traditi on and the fi nancial resources. I

think both of those things are in place at Youngstown State.”~ Head Coach Cindy Marti n



TRADITIONS > MID CON CHAMPIONSHIPS

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 20-win seasons. Five of those 20-win seasons came

consecuti vely from 1995-96 to 1999-2000 during which the Penguins played in the NCAA Tournament three ti mes.

YSU also captured fi ve straight regular-season Mid-Conti nent Conference ti tles

from 1994-95 through 1998-99.

1995-96First NCAA Tournament Berth

The 1995-96 season put the Youngstown State women’s basketball program on the nati onal map. The Penguins won their second straight Mid-Conti nent Con-ference regular-season ti tle - and their fi rst outright ti tle in school history - with four sophomores and one junior in the starti ng lineup.

As the No. 1 seed, the Penguins breezed through the Mid-Conti nent Confer-ence tournament by defeati ng Western Illinois, 69-59, Troy State, 87-67, and Buf-falo, 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 aft er leading the Penguins in scoring with 16.4 points per game.

1997-98First 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-Conti nent Conference. Coming off its fourth straight regular-season conference ti tle, 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 auto-mati c 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. Aft er a slow start in the second round against North Carolina State, the Penguins saw their magnifi cent season come to a close with an 88-61 loss to the fourth-seeded Wolfpack.

Four of YSU’s fi ve senior starters earned all-conference accolades as Mid-Con Player of the Year Shannon Beach and Ann Marie Marti n were named to the fi rst team. Marti n led the team with 16.3 points per game while Beach averaged 13.8 points and shot bett er than 40 percent from 3-point range.

Colleen Cook collects a steal against Penn State in YSU’s fi rst NCAA Tournament game on March 15, 1996.

Caroline McCombs fi ghts for a rebound in YSU’s 91-80 upset victory over Memphis in 1998.

1999-2000Third NCAA Tournament in fi ve 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 fi ve consecuti ve regular-season conference championships snapped. Youngstown State, however, was not deterred from its goal of reaching the NCAA Tournament for the third ti me in fi ve seasons. The Penguins swept through the Mid-Conti nent Confer-ence Tournament by defeati ng Southern Utah, 84-78 in overti me, Western Illinois, 67-56, and Valparaiso, 73-57, to punch their third “Dance Ticket” with the automati c 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. Three-point specialist Leslie Majewski earned second-team all-conference honors aft er sinking 70 treys.

Bowers, who owns a career scoring average of 21.5 points per game, also ranks second all-ti me with 1,083 career rebounds and 370 career free throws made.

A catalyst during the Penguins run to their fi rst NCAA Tourna-ment 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 20-win season since 1990-91. The Penguins also won the Mid-Con-ti nent Conference regular season and tournament championships.

Hauger paced the Penguins with a 16.4 scoring average and was named fi rst-team All-Mid-Conti nent 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 consecuti ve 20-win season with an overall mark of 23-6 and captured the league’s regular sea-son crown. YSU, however, missed out on their second straight NCAA Tournament appearance aft er losing in the tournament champion-ship game to Troy State, 89-75.

Hauger was also vital in the Penguins fi rst of fi ve straight Mid-Conti nent Con-ference championships in 1994-95.

As a sophomore, Hauger was one of the Penguins top off ensive threats with a 12.5 scoring average. She con-nected on 42.2 percent of her fi eld goal att empts and helped guide the Penguins to a 17-11 overall record and a 14-4 league mark. In 1994-95, she was named second-team all-conference.

Hauger currently ranks eighth all-ti me with 1,468 career points, and third all-ti me with 328 career free throws made.

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 starti ng lineup and the Pen-guins never skipped a beat. In the fi ve games Kenneally started that season, she averaged an impres-sive 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, nati ve helped secure the Penguins’ 28-3 record; was named to the Mid-Con’s All-Newcomer 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 nati on 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 con-secuti ve year and was named MVP of the Mid-Con Tourna-ment aft er leading YSU to its third NCAA Tournament ap-pearance.

Kenneally’s fi nal season was marked with triumph and tragedy as she was ranked third in the nati on with a 24.5 scoring average when a knee injury ended her career.

She ranks seventh on the all-ti me scoring list with 1,471 points and owns the career mark for most free throws made with 373.

Although she missed most of her fi rst two season due to knee injuries, Shannon Beach (1993-98) was an impact player for the Pen-guins during their fi rst two trips to the NCAA Tournament.

In 1995-96 as a redshirt soph-omore, Beach was an essenti al 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-Conti nent Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player aft er defeati ng

Buff alo, 53-43, in the championship game.Beach earned second-team all-conference accolades as a junior

aft er 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 three-point shooter, connecti ng on 57-of-152 three-point att empts.

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 aft er upsetti ng 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 three-point att empts.

The nati ve of Atwater, Ohio, became the second straight YSU player to earn the Mid-Conti nent Con-ference Player of the Year Award aft er averaging 13.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.

Beach currently ranks 13th on the all-ti me scoring list with 1,148 career points and is ti ed for third all-ti me with 146 career three-point-ers.

Your Success is Our StoryYou 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.

When David C. Sweet became Youngstown State University’s sixth president in July 2000, he mapped out a course that included three priorities: e n r o l l m e n t , partnerships and

diversity. In the eight years since, the University has made great strides in all three areas.

Enrollment has jumped nearly 15 percent since fall 2000 and is now at its highest level in 13 years. Over the last eight 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 and other school districts and community groups to meet the needs of the region.

The University has also expanded academic programs at the associate, baccalaureate and graduate levels, including a new doctor of physical therapy degree. 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. YEC’s fi rst class graduated in May. Last year, 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.

YSU has worked in collaboration with the City of Youngstown to complete a nationally-recognized urban

development plan, Youngstown 2010. In addition, the University has been a leader in the development of Wick Neighbors, a non-profi t community organization that is spearheading a major redevelopment project in the Wick District and 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 is now in the midst of a $44 million Centennial Capital Campaign, the largest fund-raising effort in YSU’s history. A centerpiece of the campaign is a new $34.3 million building for the Williamson College of Business Administration.

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 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 fi rst 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, and president of the American Economic Development Council. In 1998, he was 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.

Executive 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 eighth year as Athletics Director and 13th 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 fi elds is coming to fruition.

Strollo has concentrated his priorities on facility improvements; full compliance of NCAA regulations; fi scal management and budgetary maintenance; streamlining department organization; increasing visibility and fundraising efforts of the Penguin Club; and enhancing the overall experience and competitiveness of student-athletes and programs.

Under Strollo’s leadership, Youngstown State earned full NCAA certifi cation 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.

During his tenure, Strollo has placed a priority

on the construction and enhancements of athletic venues. Currently, he is leading a capital campaign to construct the Watson and Tressel Training Site, a $4-6 million indoor athletic practice facility.

The Beeghly Center has undergone more than $3 million in renovations. In the past 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 year in Stambaugh Stadium, offi ce space in the athletic marketing and ticket offi ces and football suite received an enhancement, and the weight room and athletic training offi ces were renovated. Other recent upgrades include 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 affi liate, and Cene Park to be the baseball team’s home fi elds 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 signifi cant renovation and expansion in his fi rst year and continues to receive technology upgrades.

In the past seven years, the department, which has been recognized as a national leader for its graduation rates, has had many successes on and off the playing fi eld.

More than half of the current 300-plus student-athletes have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher while 11 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.

Ten student-athletes have captured Academic All-America accolades while a total of 41 have been named to Academic All-District teams.

YSU has won 11 Horizon League titles, and it won back-to-back Gateway Football Conference (now the Missouri Valley Football Conference) championships in 2005 and 2006 in Strollo’s tenure.

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 fi rst 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 LegendPrior 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 fi t. There was always someone who pointed out an inadequacy of some sort.

The fi rst 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 fl oor 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 hit by a snowfall between one and two feet deep. The passengers in two of the cars found it necessary on several occasions to get out and help push their vehicles out of snow drifts or road area with snow ruts, diffi cult to drive through.

During the trip, Bennett Kunicki recalls, the discussion of a nickname for the school was the hot topic of conversation. In Kunicki’s car, the name Penguins came up and was well received by everyone in the car. Upon arrival at the West Liberty gym, the name was mentioned to the members of the team, who thought it was perfect.

By the end of that school year, the nickname was unanimously accepted by the student body without the necessity of a formal polling vote. Plans were then made to introduce the new name during the 1933-34 basketball season.

The nickname Penguins was formally introduced to the school in the "Jambar" (Vol. IV, No. 3) at the beginning of the 1933-34 basketball season. Page three of that issue was set up to cover YSU’s fi rst game to introduce the members of that season’s team and to give the schedule for the season. The date of the "Jambar" issue was Dec. 15, 1933. Within the next fi ve 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 fi rst game with Slippery Rock in the Dec. 15, 1933 issue of the "Jambar". The Youngstown Telegram fi rst used the nickname in a headline on Dec. 29, 1933 while The Vindicator fi rst 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 exists. The award-winning plan, Youngstown 2010, calls for a more diverse and vibrant economy founded on the current strengths with the city and region, such as YSU, the health care sector and the arts community.

Wick Neighbors, Inc., was created from a broad-based group of leaders from YSU and religious and cultural institutions along Wick Avenue, which borders campus to the East. Its mission is to redevelop the historically rich Smoky Hollow neighborhood just off campus and promote a place for creative living and working in the city.

Youngstown is very well-known for its dedication to the arts. The Butler Institute of American Art, located within the confi nes of campus, is one of the most unique and respected museums in the nation. There are also two auditoriums in the city, several museums and the Chevrolet 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 entire Mahoning Valley is seen as a hotbed for college recruits.

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 fi ve 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 CoverageIn addition to coverage provided by traditional

media, the successes of Youngstown State student-athletes 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 2007-08 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. Several home volleyball and soccer games and the entire 2008 Horizon League Baseball Championship were also streamed live over the Internet.
