Before coming to Marietta, Costa spent three seasons as the full-time assistant coach with Washington & Lee, located in Lexington, Virginia. “I am excited about this upcoming year because of all the hard work that our returning players put in during the off-season,” Costa said. “Their dedication and hard work has created a strong foundation for us to build upon for the fall. With an enthusiastic group of newcomers joining them, I believe we have a tremendous opportunity to build off last year’s success.” While with Washington & Lee, the Generals posted an 89-21 record. In 2006, the squad went 28-9, was undefeated in the Old Dominion Ath- letic Conference and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Division III Tournament. Costa graduated Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in secondary education—specializing in mathematics—from York College of Pennsyl- vania in 2004. He served as the head coach for the Rockbridge County Juniors from 2005-07 and worked at a variety of volleyball camps over the past few summers. During his time at York, Costa played four years of club volleyball and was the manager of the women’s varsity team as a junior and senior. He acted as the club team president for three years, managing financial mat- ters, organizing travel arrangements, scheduling practices and matches and serving as the team’s representative. Costa was a player-coach as a sophomore and senior and the head coach during his junior year. In 2004, the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA) ranked the club team No. 25 in Division II. Costa, who is also the department’s compliance director, lives in Marietta.

he Ohio Athletic Conference, the third oldest conference in college athletics, is predated only by the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (1888) and the Big Ten (1895). The Confer- ence is older than the World Series and even the NCAA itself Tand has survived two world wars, the Great Depression, the Korean War and the Vietnam Conflict. From a modest beginning of six charter members in 1902, the OAC grew to as many as 24 members in the mid-1920s. Through the years, a total of 31 colleges and universities at one time or another have been members of the OAC. Currently the Confer-

O hio athletic conference ence consists of 10 members, including Baldwin-Wallace College, Capital University, Heidelberg College, John Carroll University, Marietta College, Mount Union College, Muskingum College, Ohio Northern University, Ot- terbein College and Wilmington College.

The enrollments at the 10 OAC institutions range from 1,200 to 4,500. All of the schools were founded in the 19th century and have long and outstanding academic reputations. The 2007-08 year proved, once again, why the OAC is one of the most prestigious Division III conferences in the country. The Mount Union football team advanced to their 11th Stagg Bowl, while Capital advanced to the NCAA Playoffs for the third consecutive time. The Ohio Northern volleyball team made its eighth straight NCAA III Tournament appearance and the program recorded its NCAA-record 31st straight winning season. The Heidelberg volleyball team reached the NCAA Regional Semifinals following an appearance in the OAC Tourna- ment Finals. The Muskingum softball team advanced to the Division III World Series for the eighth time. Heidelberg wrestling sent five to the NCAA Division III National Tournament and placed two. The Otterbein women’s golf team placed fifth at the NCAA Tournament, while the Mount Union men placed 12th. Individually, the Conference was represented by 64 All-Americans and two national titles in track and field. Mount Union’s Dan Gund won the outdoor shot put title and Heidelberg’s Judy Bataille claimed the indoor 55-meter dash title. Academically, the OAC boasted numerous CoSIDA ESPN the Magazine Academic All-Americans, along with regional and national coaching honors.

President, Dr. Jean A. Scott A new era began at Marietta College on July 15, 2000, when Dr. Jean A. Scott became the 17th President of the College. She is the first female president at Marietta College. Most recently, Scott was president of Bradford College, in Haverhill, Mass. Scott graduated with a major in history Ban Johnson from Westhampton College at the Univer- sity of Richmond where she was elected Phi Arena Beta Kappa and earned her A.B. degree in 1968. She then attended Harvard University and received her M.A. in history in 1969 and her Ph.D. in history in 1974. “I am very excited at the opportunity to lead the college with the rich traditions and bright future that Marietta enjoys,” Scott said. Since Scott’s arrival at Marietta the campus has grown to include the many new buildings and facilities, enriching the educational experience for all of its students.

Athletics Director, Larry Hiser Larry Hiser, who brings more than a decade of sports administration experience from Endicott College in Beverly, Mass., of- ficially became the Director of Athletics and Recreation at Marietta College in March. Hiser earned a Bachelor of Arts in Eng- lish from Ohio Northern University in 1987, where he was an all-conference shortstop on the Polar Bears baseball team. He went on to earn a Master of Science in Physi- cal Education/Athletic Administration from Springfield College in Massachusetts, where he was a graduate assistant. He joined Endicott College in the fall of 1994 as the Gulls first baseball coach. In his 12 years as Athletic Director, Hiser played a critical role in trans- forming Endicott College from a two-year, women’s college to a selective, co-educational four-year college. Under his watch the Gulls have won 37 conference championships and participated in 47 NCAA or ECAC tourna- ments. Endicott also successfully launched new programs for equestrian, lacrosse and football, while improving the facilities that now rank among the finest in New England. The Oregon, Ohio, native is married to the former Susan Chick. They have two children, Dan, 8, and Allison, 7.
