4 GOHATTERS.COM STETSON LACROSSE SEASON OUTLOOK

Stetson lacrosse begins its third season of competition in 2015 with a new voice, a new leader, a new direc- tion and, hopefully, a new conclusion. Former Ohio State assistant and four-time national champion Christy Leach was tabbed last June to be Stetson lacrosse’s second head coach. A 2008 graduate of Northwestern, where she helped lead the Wild- cats to four consecutive national championships as a player, Leach spent the previous four seasons as the fi rst assistant at Ohio State, helping guide the Buckeyes to a combined 42-30 record and a spot in the 2014 NCAA Tournament. At Stetson she inherits a program with just four total victories in two seasons. Along with assistant coach and former Notre Dame stand-out Maggie Smith, Leach is confi dent she can turn Stetson into a successful program, starting this season. “Our team goal for this year is to make the conference tournament,” said Leach. “That’s our end goal. I’m excited that the season is fi nally coming up. We’re sick of facing each other every day in practice. We’ll be motivated and prepared for our games this year.” Leach has faced several challenges this season as she begins her fi rst turn as a head coach. “My biggest challenges have been adjusting to what the team needs,” she said. “You can’t just go in with a plan and expect to stick to it. You have to be ready for anything. You have to make sure the team is as pre- pared as you can make them.” There are always changes with the arrival of any new coach, and Leach’s arrival at Stetson has been no different. “The team has been really receptive to change and excited about the season,” said Leach. “They seem to enjoy coming to practice every day and putting in the work. We try to keep it light and fun, but very competi- tive at the same time and they seem to respond to that.”

@STETSONLACROSSE 5 STETSON LACROSSE SEASON OUTLOOK The Hatters return 17 letterwinners from 2014 while adding a talented crop of eight newcomers. Among the returnees are team captains Samantha Akl, Mallory Tluchowski and Christina Wittmeier. Leadership will play and important for the Hatters this season. “We’ve seen leaders emerge,” she said. “Our three captains provide great leadership. We have weekly meetings with them to make sure we’re all on the same page. With a young program you have to make sure to build the leadership because that can make or break you.” Leach said she expects the Hatters to be strong defensively, while the offense may be a bit of a work in progress. “Our midfi eld should be really strong,” she said. “Lindsay Summers, Sam Maguire, Christina Wittmeier and Mary Kate O’Sullivan are going to anchor the midfi eld.” “I think our defense is pretty good. We started implementing that in the fall and the team picked it up quickly and it’s become second nature now. Our communication has been really good. We should be strong with players like Elisabeth Blackwell and Erin Busch leading the way.” The Hatters also enjoy the luxury of a strong goalie trio. Veterans Caili Guilday and Whitney Meyers, along with freshman Michaela Welsh, give the Hatters a strong core in goal. Guilday, a junior, led the NCAA in saves last season. “Our goalies are very important,” said Leach. “They’ve been really receptive to learning the defense and being more vocal with their leadership. That aspect of their play is crucial to us moving forward.” Leach said the Hatters still have some work to do on the offen- sive side of the game. “We’re still fi nding our chemistry on attack. We need to focus on everything in the midfi eld.” A strong and balanced freshman class should give the Hatters a lift all over the fi eld. Leach believes several of them could make a signifi cant impact and all eight are ready to play. “Everyone on our team is ready to contribute,” said Leach. “Newcomers like Hallie Merz, Taylor Patrizi, Megan Moran, Kathi Ricci, and Rachel Valocchi can really help us this year.” Stetson was picked to fi nish fourth in the Atlantic Sun Confer- ence, which features a pair of fi rst-year programs in Mercer and Furman, and a new addition in Old Dominion. The top four teams will advance to the A-Sun Championship. “Our conference will be competitive,” said Leach. “It’s a young conference for the most part. But it’s all kind of new to me as well.” If the Hatters continue to work hard, 2015 can be a success. “We have to keep putting in the daily work to get to the level we want to be at,” she said.

ATHLETIC TRAINING CENTER

During the spring of 2011, Stetson President Dr. Wendy Libby announced that the University was bringing football back for the fi rst time since 1956. More than a year later, a groundbreaking ceremony for Stetson’s $6.7 million fi eld house and fi eld renovation was held.

The 25,000 square foot building on the corner of Minnesota and Amelia avenues houses locker rooms for lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, as well as football. Additionally, state-of-the-art sports medicine and strength and conditioning areas are also available to student-ath- letes at the Stetson University Athletics Training Center.

The facility also includes offi ce and meeting room space for each of the four programs, as well as an equipment room. The VIP room on the second fl oor of the facility will be utilized during lacrosse games. On one side of the fi eld house are practice fi elds for the football team, on the other side are game and practice fi elds for Stetson lacrosse, men’s soccer, and women’s soccer teams.

Before the spring 2013 lacrosse season was set to begin, a brand new score- board was put in place on the south end of the Hatters’ game fi eld, for fans to easily read the time and score of each home contest.

38 GOHATTERS.COM STETSON LACROSSE ATHLETIC FACILITIES Down the street from the Athletic Training Facility is the Man- dy Stoll Tennis Center, home of the Stetson men’s and wom- en’s tennis programs. Located on the east-side of the DeLand campus, the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center was completed in late 1996. The state-of-the-art facility is named in honor of Mandy Marie Stoll who was the tennis team’s top player when she was killed in an automobile accident in April 1988 during her junior year. During her three years as a member of the Stetson tennis team, she set school records of 20 consecutive wins and 27 wins in one season. The facility includes six courts, with plans for six additional courts in the future, a kiosk, three gazebos, courtside bleachers and a new scoreboard. Three of the six courts have been named: one for Mary Estella Palmer McNamara, the late wife of SU trustee Dennis McNamara of Orlando and a Stetson graduate; one in honor of former Stet- Patricia Wilson Field son tennis coach Vicky Pate, also a Stetson alumna; and one in memory of Mandy Stoll. The Mandy Stoll Tennis Center has served as the host location for four Atlantic Sun Conference Men’s and Women’s Tennis Championships.

The Stetson softball team has played 10 seasons at Patricia Wilson Field with tremendous success. The Hatters won their fi rst 18 games on their home fi eld in 2003 and have a com- bined home record of 278-124 (.692). The sparkling facility features spacious dugouts, multiple bullpen and batting cage areas, a state-of-the-art scoreboard, a brilliant lighting sys- tem for playing night games, and a concession area. A team fi eld house and a press box were built in 2007-08. In 2010 Stetson hosted the A-Sun Tournament for the fourth year in a row.

One of the most picturesque, fan-friendly stadiums in the nation, Melching Field at Conrad Park will enter its 15th season as the home of Stetson Baseball in 2013. At a cost Mandy Stoll Tennis Center of $4.5 million, Melching Field was the result of a joint effort between Stetson University, DeLand Sports Redevelopment Association and the City of DeLand. Built on the same site as old Conrad Park, Melching Field opened on Feb. 12, 1999. Hatter fans have fl ocked to Melching Field in record numbers. With more than half a million fans since the stadium opened in 1999, Stetson is often ranked nationally among college baseball attendance leaders. Melching Field features permanent seating for 2,500 spectators with grass berms holding approximately 500 additional fans. A full-service concessions area greets visitors upon their entrance to the park on Woodland Boulevard. The 2012 season marked the debut of a new high-tech scoreboard, which is located in left fi eld and is equipped with a state-of-the-art message center and graphics board.

The numerous golf courses in Florida provide the men’s and women’s golf teams with ample places to play. The Hatters host tournaments every year at the DeLand Country Club, Southridge Golf Club, and Victoria Hills Golf Club. Also, the cross country teams host a meet every October at the Sperling Sports Complex, and the crew team practices and competes at nearby Lake Beresford.

@STETSONLACROSSE 39 STETSON LACROSSE DR. WENDY LLIBBYIBBY

University President Sixth Year Brooklyn, N.Y. Cornell (1972)

Stetson University entered a new era of leadership in July 2009 when Dr. Wendy B. Libby became the universi- ty’s ninth president.

Along with Director of Athletics Jeff Altier, Libby was integral in bringing football back to Stetson for the fi rst time since 1956. The Hatters will play their fi rst season in the fall of 2013. Coming with the return of football was the construction of a state-of-the-art fi eld house for not only football, but also men’s and women’s soccer and the brand new women’s lacrosse team. The $6.7 million, 25,000 square foot facility was completed in August of 2012.

Formerly president of Stephens College in Columbia, Mo., the nation’s second-oldest women’s institution, Libby has had a broad career in higher education and private industry.

A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Libby earned her doctorate in Educational Administration from the University of Con- necticut. Her undergraduate degree, in Biology with a concentration in Genetics, is from Cornell University. She earned an MBA, with a concentration in Finance, from Cornell’s Johnson Graduate School of Management.

Libby is a member of numerous higher education organizations. Last fall, she led a delegation of six college presidents in a visit to Ewha University in Seoul, South Korea. In honor of her outstanding leadership, Libby re- ceived the 2007 Athena Award from the Columbia (Mo.) Chamber of Commerce Women’s Network for her sup- port of women in realizing their full leadership potential and for contributing to the quality of life in the communi ty. In May, she received the 2009 Outstanding Higher Education Professional Alumni Award at the University of Connecticut.

40 GOHATTERS.COM STETSON LACROSSE JEFF AALTIERLTIER

Director of Athletics 18th Year Sarasota, Fla. Stetson (1982)

Jeff Altier, a 28-year veteran of the Stetson University athletic department, is in his 17th year as Director of Athletics. During his tenure, Altier has earned a reputation as an outstanding fundraiser and a leader with an eye on the future, and is noted for his active participation in the NCAA governance structure. Altier, captain of the nationally-ranked 1982 Hatter baseball team, earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Stetson. Upon wrapping up his Stetson baseball career, he spent two years as a player/coach developing the sport in Perth, Australia. He then returned to Stetson as an assistant coach before being promoted to Ticket Manager, Director of Athletic Promotions, and then Associate Athletic Director. In these rolls, he spearheaded the department’s development efforts as well as oversaw athletic marketing and promotions, concessions and travel coordination. He was named Director of Athletics in 1996. Altier also served as Tournament Manager for the NCAA Division I Southeast First and Second Round Men’s basketball tournament hosted by Stetson in 1993 and 1996 at the Orlando Arena, and as Tournament Director for the 1999 and 2004 tournament. Stetson has taken great strides in the area of gender equity under Altier, increasing scholarships, participation opportunities and staffi ng for women’s athletics. The unprecedented success of the women’s tennis, golf, soccer, basketball and softball teams in conference competition during Altier’s tenure are evidence of his commitment to women’s athletics. In fact, under his direction Stetson’s women’s and men’s teams have won an impressive 15 conference championships. A hallmark of Altier’s professional career was the building of Stetson’s $4.5 million baseball facility, Melching Field at Conrad Park. Built in conjunction with the City of DeLand, Melching Field is regarded as one of the nation’s premiere college baseball facilities. Altier then turned his attention to construction of an on-campus softball facility, which broke ground in 2002 and was ready for competition in February of 2003. Patricia Wilson Field has been named Collegiate Softball Field of the Year six times. He was also instrumental in securing new state-of-the-art fi eld lighting for both the softball and soccer fi elds in 2005. Under his guidance, the Athletic Department has also seen the addition of the Wilson Athletic Center, a $ 1.5 million health and wellness facility for the use of Stetson student-athletes. Stetson athletics has continued to grow under Altier’s guidance. Three new sports have recently been added - sand volleyball started competition in the spring of 2012, while women’s lacrosse will start in the spring of 2013 and football will return in the fall of 2013. The program is also growing in terms of staffi ng and facilities, with construction complete on the $6.7 million, 25,000 square-foot Athletic Training Facility that houses offi ces, locker rooms, and sports medicine facilities for the football, women’s lacrosse, and men’s and women’s soccer programs. Altier’s leadership has extended beyond campus, as he has taken on Atlantic Sun Conference leadership roles, chairing many committees and serving as conference vice-president. Additionally, he has served on the National Association of College Directors of Athletics Division IAAA board of directors, the NCAA A.E.C.
