  • Events Iona Sports Night on Sep
    Iona College Athletics 200- Annual Report Dear Friends of Iona Athletics, On behalf of the Iona College Athletics Department, I want to thank you for your continued support of the Gaels. Our school motto, “Certa Bonum Certamen” (fight the good fight), guides our student-athletes to give it their best on the fields of competition and in the classroom. We are proud to have our student-athletes represent the mission, tradition, and goals of excellence that Iona is built upon. With the continued philanthropy of many, the Iona Athletics Department is able to give these student-athletes the means to fight and achieve excellence. While we are constantly working to keep moving forward, I would like to take this opportunity to look back at the past year. The following Annual Report serves to review the many successes achieved during the 2010-11 athletic seasons here at Iona College. Below I’ve recapped a few of our many remarkable achievements. • For the first time in school history, Iona tied for the MAAC Commissioner’s Cup, the highest honor in the conference. Additionally the Gaels won the Men’s Cup for the third time in school history, and tied for second place in the Women’s Cup. • Junior Leonard Korir became the first national champion in Iona history with a win in the 5k at the NCAA Indoor Track Championships. Korir repeated the feat with a first place finish in the 10,000-meter run at theNCAA Outdoor Championships. • The 2010-11 season was highlighted by a first place finish from the men’s cross county team at the MAAC Championship and an outstanding second place finish at the NCAA Northeast Regional.

  • Who's on First?
    Sue's on First Lessons learned from the oral histories of women baseball players Who's on First? An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Joy Schmoll Advisor: Mark Kornmann Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 2004 Graduating Spring 2004 Abstract , . :.!'r The girls who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League of the 1940s and 1950s are often credited as pioneers whose accomplishments continue to have far- reaching effects for women. The purpose of this project is to bring new relevance to women's baseball. The current era of professional baseball has been challenged by conservative fans as lacking the strategy, the respectability, and the significance of earlier periods. I propose that by applying an understanding of the history of the AAGPBL to Major League Baseball today, the spirit of the game can be revived. The issues highlighted in this paper as a springboard for considering men's and women's baseball include fan relations, player attitude, and team organization, which are discussed within a framework of historical literature, scholarly journals, scrapbooks, and personal interviews. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Mark Kommann for advising me during the course of this project. His unending flexibility and support allowed the project to unfold naturally, and I could not have completed it without his connections in the Ball State and baseball communities. I am extremely grateful for his encouragement throughout the semester. I would also like to thank the former players of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, Isabel Alvarez, Shirley Burkovich, Helen Hannah Campbell, Audrey Haine Daniels, Jane Moffet, Beans Risinger, and Dolly White, for taking the time to share their memories and stories with me.
