The 2,100-seat arena is home to the women’s volleyball and men’s and women’s basketball programs. The arena has a pair of hospitality suites, a pair of broadcast booths and a camera booth with approximately 175 chair-back stadium seats and the remaining bleacher seating. Football and men’s and women’s soccer play on a state-of-the-art artificial surface called AstroPlay in the 3,000-seat Bernlohr Stadium. Within a brick grandstand are two observation decks, a hospitality suite and press box. The stadium includes a three-lane track around the field perimeter for fitness and recreation endeavors. Functionality and usability are the key in the multipurpose forum, as the infield of the NCAA regulation indoor track has four courts with lines for basketball, volleyball and tennis. Suspended from the ceiling is netting that can split the area into a multitude of configurations for a variety of events, as well as a pair of hitting cages for baseball, softball and golf. Part of the forum also makes up 1,200 square feet of the fitness center with a complete cardiovascular area, filled with treadmills, Stairmasters and a universal unit. The remaining 3,800 square feet of the fitness center is a room complete with weight training equipment from Hammer Strength. The health and sport sciences department calls The Capital Center home with a complete sports medicine and athletic training center, sports science laboratory, classrooms and more than ample space for activity classes. The athletic department also has an office suite with a conference room and administrative work areas. Like many facilities, it is the small things that separate the adequate from the memorable. The Capital Center with its towers of brick and plaster, terrazzo flooring, hand-painted tile, skylights and enormous walls of glass not only pays homage to the tradition and architecture of the 177-year-old university, but also provides a functional and modern place for the university to reach new horizons. Capital’s vision has been simple – to have a center that is an integral part of university life, encompassing health and wellness activities, academic programs, intercollegiate athletics, intramural sports, social activities and community partnerships. The Capital Center embodies that vision and is a testament to the dedication, values and commitment to service of the entire CAP Family. To those past, present and future members of the CAP Family we only have one thing to say – Welcome Home.

While 15th-year head coach Pam Briggs has plenty of experience, her roster features just one senior in middle hitter Jesse Hampson. Hampson, the 2005 OAC Player of the Year, will be looked at to lead the Crusaders on and off the court. Along with Hampson, other top returners include juniors Heidi Rose, Kelly Steineman and Kara Guster, along with sophomores Sarah Gallik, Allison Hostetler and Jenna Zumberger. Junior Jackie Helm, the 2004 OAC Freshman of the Year, returns after being sidelined with an injury all last season to bolster the Capital lineup. 2007 Capital University Volleyball Roster No. Name Pos.
