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, fl ooring, lobbies, basketball and Olympic Sports offi ces, swimming pool, and locker rooms. Also Th e Coaches Court, a plush room for Athletic Department functions and press conferences, was constructed.

In the most recent off season, the YSU athlet-ic department was able acquire the actual hoops that were used in the 2009 NCAA Men’s Basket-ball Final Four in Detroit. Th ose hoops will be used this season and beyond. New strobe lights were also installed in the four corners of the are-na to enhance the lighting for photographers.

Beeghly Center, located between Stambaugh Stadium and the Andrews Wellness and Recre-ation Center, has basketball support areas that include an athletic training 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 includes an Olympic-sized swimming and diving facility, racquetball and squash courts, classrooms, and administrative offi ces.

Th e 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.

Th e 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 construction, the seating capacity was increased to 6,500 with the addi-tion of permanent seats in the north and south ends of the arena and 1,250 chairback seats lo-cated along the court. Th e capacity is currently 6,300 with recent fl oor expansion along the baselines.

Other recent improvements to the arena in-clude the addition of two scoreboards, expanded press row seating, energy-effi cient lighting and a new sound system.

On Sept. 15, 1996, YSU dedicated Veter-ans’ 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 Th e House Challenge for having the largest att endance among Hori-zon League teams. Th e Penguins annually rank second in the Horizon League in att endance 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

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?

It was a very humbling experience. I’m ultra-com-petitive, 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 refl ect-ing 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 defi -nitely makes me hungrier to win again, and I’m very excited about this season.

Q: Did you do anything diff erent or extra during the off season as you refl ected?

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 gott en 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.” Th at’s awesome for colleagues to believe in me and in my history.

Q: You’ve mentioned that you know a litt le bett er what types of players and personalities to recruit. What are those?

I was a blue-collar student-athlete, and that’s some-thing 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. Th ey 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 mix-ing it up on defense, and I always like being the ag-gressor. I like to push the tempo on off ense 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 Th e Art Institute of Chicago. What benefi ts do you see with that?

We want to have our student-ath-letes 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. Th at’s one of our mot-tos. 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 un-derstand 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.

Q: Last season the team played well in spurts on both ends of the fl oor. What have you done to im-prove 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 play-ing 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. Th e 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 know-ing what my game plan is and what my expectations are in the community, classroom and court. We’re in-tense, and we always go full speed in everything we do. I defi nitely think everyone has “bought in”. Th e other thing is that is big is that I have a coaching staff that has decided to stay here and stay committ ed 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?

We always have goals for academics, community ser-vice and basketball. Our two biggest academic goals

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 diff erence in other people’s lives. In basket-ball, 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 num-bers 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 newcom-ers have looked so far in early workouts.

I think it really goes back to athleticism and the abil-ity to score. Th ose 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 bett er about us as coaches that we know the conference much bett er. 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 pre-pare us even bett er when we scout them this year. We were kind of going in blind last year. Th at even goes with travel. I think we just feel much more comfort-able.

Coach Martin spent the off season seeking wisdom fr om other successful coaches, including former YSU and

current Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel.

having people wonder who’s going to score big. I challenge our ladies to ‘let that be you.’

“We’re going to have to win with team ball, and we don’t need anyone to be a superstar. We need everyone to do their jobs. If you’re a rebounder, that means rebound. If you’re a scorer, that means score. If you’re good a set-ting screens, you set the best screen you can set. As long as everyone does their job, you can beat anyone on a given night.”

Backcourt

Four of the fi ve returning student-ath-letes and fi ve of the newcomers are guards, so depth in the backcourt should defi nitely be a strength.

Nortey was the only true point guard on the team last year, and she got the clichéd “baptism by fi re.” Nortey, a quick guard whose leaping ability allows her to play taller than her 5-foot-3 frame, started at point guard in 25 games last season and played in all 30 in her fi rst collegiate season. Her 26.8 minutes per game ranked second on the team, and she showed the ability to be an all-around player by averaging 5.6 points, 2.7 assists and 2.7 re-bounds.

Junior Bojana “Boki” Dimitrov was brought in to compliment Nortey as an ac-complished point guard, but the Paracin, Ser-bia, native will be asked to play a big role on the wing as well. Last season at Carl Albert

Prior 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 2009-10.

Martin’s club went through some grow-ing pains during the 2008-09 season. Playing with three new starters and fi ve student-ath-letes who had never suited up for a Division I game, nagging injuries forced Martin to start freshmen oft en and hold back on her pre-ferred full-court pressure defense.

However, Martin saw the squad show a big improvement as the season progressed. Th at 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 im-prove,” Martin said of the fi rst season of her rebuilding eff ort. “Our goal in year one was to improve every day. We had a heck of a turn-around, 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 bett er 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.”

Th e 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. Th e top fi ve 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 fi ve players that do return benefi tt ed from a lot of playing time in the fi rst season of her regime.

“We had a lot of youth on the fl oor 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 Middlebrooks, for example, that really got thrown into the starting line-up on a consis-tent basis out of position last year, really grew from that. Confi dence is the thing that I’m seeing the biggest improvement in with the fi ve returners.”

Rachael Manuel and Kaitlyn March will carry the leadership torch as the Guins’ two seniors and only two players who have been at YSU longer than Martin. Manuel has played in 85 games in her career, 57 of which came in her fi rst two collegiate seasons at South-ern Miss, but she’s never been counted on to start and score as she’s likely to be this year. March had played in 14 games combined her fi rst two seasons before appearing in 23 as a junior.

“Kaitlyn and Rachael have done a great job communicating with all of the underclass-men about how to be on time for things, and about campus, classes and my expectations on and off the court,” Martin said. “Th ey may not have as much experience on the court as some seniors, but they have just as much ex-perience off the court. I think both of them are excited about this year, and I’m expecting big years for both of them. I think this is going to be their best years. Th at’s the way they can leave Youngstown feeling like they started a tradition.”

Th ree sophomores – Makala Gasparek, Middlebrooks and Nortey – are the only oth-er returning players on the squad, but they’re an experi-enced group with 88 games combined under their belts. Th ree junior college transfers and four freshmen in Martin’s fi rst full recruiting class will be charged in improving an off ense that was held to 50.2 points per game last season and adding athleticism and speed on the defensive side. Based on precedent, the Pen-guins have no clear-cut “go-to superstar” on the off ensive end.

“I’m actually excited about that,” Martin said. “I think I’m a very motivational coach, and I do well coach-ing the underdog because I’ve been part of rebuilding pro-grams for the last 12 years. I like walking into a gym and

Point guard Macey Nortey’s 169 career points makes her the active scoring leader of YSU’s young and hungry squad.

State College, Dimitrov averaged 10 points and 4.5 assists as a sopho-more, 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 go-ing 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 off ensive 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 leader-ship and scoring from the wing. Aft er 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 fi ve games, and nine of her 14 3-point-ers came in the fi rst seven contests. She, along with Dimitrov and Gas-parek, 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 sea-son and averaged 23.8 minutes. She’ll play the majority of her time at the No. 3 position this year aft er 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, fi ve

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 aft er a solid career at Midland (Texas) College, one of the top JUCO programs in the na-tion. She averaged 8.3 points and played in all 32 games for the Chap-arrals last season, who fi nished 30-2 and ranked fi ft h in the fi nal na-tional poll.

Melissa Th ompson 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 be-cause she’s back in her natural position, and her confi dence is defi nite-ly 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. Th ey 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 fl oor 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 rst-team 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 high-ly-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 Second-Team All-CIF Southern Section honors as a senior.

“I’d love to have two true posts on the fl oor at all times, but we’re prepared to go in this year with a four-out, one-in mentality,” Martin said. “Th at is the style of half-court off ense 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.”

Senior Kaitlyn March is coming off a career year, and Head Coach Cindy Martin says she’ll need another for YSU to be successful.

Entering its 31st season of operation in the 2009-10 academic year, the Horizon League con-tinues to aspire toward its goal of being one of the nation’s leading athletics conferences while being recognized as a leader in the development of stu-dent-athletes as leaders and role models.

Th e Horizon League membership features ten public and private institutions that have impres-sive academic reputations and a storied tradition of broad-based athletic 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.

Th e Horizon League’s primary focus is on adding value to the educational experience through its four platforms: athletic performance, academic achievement, community outreach, and personal responsibility and accountability. It is the League’s belief that athletics is a powerful and visible resource tool that can be used to enhance student-athletes’ collegiate experience. Th e Ho-rizon League’s goals are to enhance the holistic university experience for the student-athlete, to create an affi liation of institutions with similar athletic goals, and to adhere to the principals of integrity, diversity, excellence and growth.

Th e Horizon League sponsors competition 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 div-ing, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld, tennis and volleyball).

Th e League receives automatic 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, women’s volleyball and for the fi rst time in League history, women’s golf.

Th e 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 (home of the Indianapolis Indians) and the NCAA national 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, 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 appear-ances (Butler 2003, 2007; Milwaukee 2005) and nine wins in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Cham-pionship in the past seven seasons.

In other sports, League teams have won at least one game in their respective NCAA Cham-pionships 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 soft ball, 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 fi ve sea-sons (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 Vic-toria Mitchell became the League’s fi rst NCAA in-dividual 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 aver-age of 3.2 or bett er, including more than 600 for the fall 2007 and spring 2008 semesters. Twenty-fi ve student-athletes were named to ESPN Th e Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District teams in 2008-09, while eight earned Academic All-America 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 elemen-tary 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.

Th e Horizon League Student-Athlete Adviso-ry Committ ee (SAAC) also has continued a tradi-tion 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 champion-ship.

On campus, student-athletes have raised mon-ey 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.

SPORTSMANSHIP

One of the Horizon League’s points of empha-sis is fostering collegial environments for compe-tition among student-athletes, coaches, adminis-

18Head Coach Cindy Martin 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 Martin and her emphasis on serving others, the Youngstown State women’s basketball program has become a fi xture in the community. Th e team completed 17 diff erent community service projects during the 2008-09 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 • LivingNational Library Week reading at an area • middle schoolFree girls basketball clinic• Sessions with area youth, discussing goals • and important life decisions

Th e Penguins completed fi ve 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 benefi t 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. Th e team has set a goal to have a cumulative 3.5 GPA at the end of the season. Th e 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 fr om 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. Th e women’s basketball program has had an academic all-league honoree in fi ve of the last six seasons. Student-athletes receive personal att ention 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.

Cindy 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.

Th e 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 fi ve active seniors, there was a defi nite feeling of the future on the fl oor. All three of Martin’s recruits, all of which signed aft er 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 off season, traveling across the country in their fi rst full recruiting season. Th e Penguins will welcome seven newcomers to the roster - four freshmen and three JUCO transfers - that will play a big part of YSU’s rebuilding.

Aft er 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) 2007-08 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.

Th at 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 aft er leading IUP to a mark of 24-9 and its fi rst PSAC West championship since 1988. Th e 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. Th e Crimson Hawks fi nished second in the division aft er being picked to fi nish fi ft h in the preseason poll. Th e 19 wins marked a nine-and-a-half game improvement 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, Martin spent four years (2001-05) as the top assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Big East member West Virginia. Her eff orts helped lead the Mountaineers’ program back to respectability, culminating in consecutive 21-win seasons and a pair of postseason 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 time in 13 seasons. In March 2005, the team advanced to the championship game of the postseason Women's National Invitation Tournament.

Martin helped assemble three straight top 20 recruiting classes according to the All-Star Girls Report, including the class of 2003 that ranked fourth nationally.

Among the players Martin recruited to West Virginia were Meg Bulger, the 2004 Big East Freshman of the Year, and Yolanda Paige, a second-round selection by the Indiana Fever in the 2005 WNBA draft .

In 2003, Martin recruited 6-foot-5 center Yelena Leuchanka, the top-ranked junior college player in the nation by the All-Star Girls Report. Leuchanka played for the Atlanta Dream of the WNBA.

Prior to joining the West Virginia staff , Martin was an assistant coach in the junior college ranks in Florida, including one season each at Santa Fe (1999-00) and Seminole (2000-01). Her Seminole squad posted an overall record of 24-6 and went 8-0 in the Mid-Florida Conference.

In the summer of 2001, Martin was chosen as head coach of Team Florida USA, an academically selected high school unit that toured Europe. Th e team went 14-2 and captured the Delfi n Cup in Tampere, Finland.

Martin also has experience at the high school level, serving as head junior varsity coach and varsity assistant at PK Yonge High School in Gainesville, Fla., in 1998-99.

Martin also enjoyed a stellar college playing career. She spent two seasons at Flagler (Fla.) College where she was an all-conference and all-region point guard, averaging 17 points and 5.4 assists from 1995-97.

She transferred to the University of Florida, where she was a member of the Gators Sweet 16 team in 1997-98.

Martin is a 1999 graduate of the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree in exercise and sport sciences from the College of Health and Human Performance. She is a native of Jacksonville, Fla., where her family currently resides.

2008-09 IN REVIEW | SEASON NOTES

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 histo-ry. She started 25 games and played 805 minutes, which ranked second on the team only to senior Kelsey Gurganus. Fellow freshman Kenya Mid-dlebrooks 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.

Penguins Earn Victory Over Valparaiso on Senior Day

Th e 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 fi ve active seniors in the starting lineup, YSU pulled off an inspired 54-38 victory over Valparaiso, a team it lost to 86-43 earlier in the year. Th e 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 Mil-waukee when both players recorded double-dou-bles, 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. Th ey 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.

LaFleur Has Best Shooting Day in School History

LaFleur put an exclamation point on her break-out season with the best shooting game in YSU history against Green Bay on Jan. 10. She made all 10 of her fi eld-goal att empts, which just edged Kristi Echelberry’s 9-for-9 eff ort in 1995. She was one of only two players in the nation to make 100 percent of her att empts and make a minimum of 10. She was named the Horizon League Scholar Athlete of the Week for her eff orts. 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-

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

Seniors in the Record Book In addition to LaFleur’s top-10 rankings,

three other seniors left their marks on YSU’s re-cord book. Scott fi nished her two years at YSU with a career .535 fi eld goal percentage, which ranks second in school history. Her career .793 free throw percentage ranks eighth in school his-tory. 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 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. Gur-ganus was the only player to start in every game during the year.

Balanced Steals Five diff erent players registered at least 27

steals, marking the fi rst time since 2002-03 that at least fi ve 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 Th e Penguins completed 17 diff erent com-

munity service projects that ranged from serving spaghett i at a local church to hosting a Trick-or-Treat Night at a senior living center to hosting a free girls basketball clinic. Th e team received the Horizon League’s Commu-nity Outreach Award for its eff orts. Senior Velissa Vaughn was one of eight YSU student-athletes to be honored on National STUDENT-Athlete for her signifi cant contributions in the classroom and side-line. 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.

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

Senior Kelsey Gurganus earned the Penguin Award fr om the coaching staff for her leader-ship and commitment to the team. Gurganus

was the only player to start every game.

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 consecutively fr om 1995-96 to 1999-2000 during which the Penguins played in the NCAA Tournament three times. YSU also captured fi ve straight regular-season

Mid-Continent Conference titles fr om 1994-95 through 1998-99.

1995-96First NCAA Tournament Berth

Th e 1995-96 season put the Youngstown State women’s basketball program on the national map. Th e Penguins won their second straight Mid-Continent Confer-ence 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 Confer-ence tournament by defeating 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 “Th e Dance” and drew No. 2 Penn State. Th e 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 “Th e Dance”, but also make some noise.

Th e 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 auto-matic berth in three years.

YSU earned the No. 12 seed and drew No. 5 Memphis in the fi rst round. Th e 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 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 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.

1999-2000Th ird NCAA Tournament in fi ve years

Th e 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 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 fi ve seasons. Th e Penguins swept through the Mid-Continent Confer-ence 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 aft er sinking 70 treys.

One of the most recogniz-able names in the history of Youngstown State women’s bas-ketball is that of Dorothy Bowers (1984-88), the school’s all-time leading scorer with 2,324 career points.

an average of 9.4 points per game. She also averaged 7.0 rebounds per game.

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 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. Th e Penguins also won the Mid-Con-tinent Conference regular season and tournament championships.

Th e 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.

Th e Penguins recorded their second consecutive 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 championship game to Troy State, 89-75.

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 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. Th e Brecksville, Ohio, native 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 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. Th e 5-foot-9 guard won the league’s Player of the Year Award for the sec-ond consecutive year and was named MVP of the Mid-Con Tournament aft er leading YSU to its third NCAA Tour-nament 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.

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

In 1995-96 as a redshirt soph-omore, 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 aft er defeating

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

ter 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 rebound-ing with 8.6 boards per game.

It was this season when Beach developed into a dangerous three-point shooter, connecting 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. Th at same year, Youngstown State advanced to the second round of

the NCAA Tournament aft er 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 three-point att empts.

Th e native of Atwater, Ohio, became the second straight YSU player to earn the Mid-Continent Confer-ence Player of the Year Award aft er 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-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 off er 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 diff erence. 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 2007-

The department organizes the Penguin Pre-Party every other Thursday, which features live entertainment on campus. The department also oversees Greek life and more than 120 student organizations ranging from the American Marketing Association to Fellowship of Christian Athletes to the Ski and Snowboarding Club.

The 70,000 square foot Andrews Recreation and Wellness Center opened in 2005 and features the latest in recreation, fi tness and wellness space. In the “rec” are more than 70 pieces of cardio equipment, 24 weight-training pieces and a combination of 40 plate-loaded and free-weight stations.

The Covelli Centre has been the venue for events ranging from boxing to 3 Doors Down and Carrie Underwood concerts to Disney on Ice to USHL hockey and arena football.

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-profi t 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-profi t 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 eff ort 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 Aff airs 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 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, 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.

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 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.

Emily HaynamAssistant A.D.

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 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 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 eff orts of the Penguin Club; and enhancing the overall experience and competitiveness of student-athletes 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 fi rst 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 fi nal 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 fi eld.

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, offi ce space in the athletic marketing and ticket offi ces and football suite received an enhancement, the weight room and athletic training offi ces 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 south-stadium 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 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 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 fi eld.

Under his 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

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 Red and White, thy glorious colors, Ever we praise and hold them High to the breeze as the symbol of our Most loyal allegiance.

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 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.

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.
