OTTERBEIN CARDINALS 3 ADMINISTRATION MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Otterbein University continues its proud tradition of athletic and academic excel- lence and has enjoyed over 100 years of intercollegiate competition. During that time, Otterbein’s mission has been to balance academics and athletic competition. Our commitment has been to the whole person, both in and out of the classroom. Our coaches are teachers first, mentors who make deep and lasting impressions on their students. While the drive to win is important, our real commitment lies in developing lead- ership traits and the competitive spirit, which will aid our scholar-athletes through- out their lives.

Head coach Dick Reyn- olds, preparing for his 40th-season, is bringing the Cardinals off a 13-13 campaign in 2010. The Cards were picked to finish third in the Ohio Athletic Conference preseason coaches poll, coming in behind Marietta and John Carroll. “It makes our guys know that their talent is respected,” said Reynolds of the team’s preseason selection. “It’s now their job to do something with that talent, but it’s nice that the confer- ence recognizes the ability we have.” Leading the way will be senior center Chris Davis. Davis was named a preseason All-American by The Sporting News after earning first team All-OAC last year while leading the league in scoring (18.6 ppg.) and rebounding (11.0 rpg.). Also an all- district and all-region selection, Davis tallied 18 double-doubles in 26 games, earning OAC Player of the Week three times and finishing among the top-20 nationally in rebounding.
