In his first full season at Arcadia, Merce guided Kyle Henofer to the program’s first-ever MAC Commonwealth Individual Championship with a two-day score of 151. Henofer was also named the Knights’ first-ever Sorrentino MAC Commonwealth Men’s Golfer of the Year, along with becoming program’s first First-Team all-conference selection since 2008. Merce also led Ryan Kelley to a Second-Team All-MAC Commonwealth selection. Henofer (151) and Kelley (159) posted the lowest 36-hole scores in the history of the program in a conference championship, while the team’s combined score of 684 was also a new 36-hole conference championship program low. On the women’s side, Merce helped the team drop its four-player scoring average by 47 strokes over his first full season with three players finishing in the top-30 at the 2017 MAC Championship. Overall, Merce oversaw an expansion of Arcadia’s tournament schedule, while also hosting the program’s first-ever invitational in April 2017. Merce came to Arcadia from NCAA Division I Saint Peter’s University in Jersey City, New Jersey, where he was in his second stint as assistant men’s golf coach. In his second stint at Saint Peter’s he coached eventual Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Individual Champion Nick Dilio. He also helped recruit three members of the Peacocks 2017 MAAC Championship team. Merce spent the 2013-15 seasons as the head men’s golf coach at Division I Iona College in New Rochelle, New York. While the head coach for the Gaels, Merce’s team finished second at the 2015 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championship while coaching the 2015 MAAC Individual Champion, MAAC Rookie of the Year, and a NCAA Regional participant. Before taking over the reigns at Iona, Merce served as Iona’s assistant coach for one year. His teams also received NCAA Public Recognition Awards for APR during his entire tenure at Iona. While at Iona, Merce also served as Coordinator of Academics before being promoted to Assistant Athletic Director for Academic Services. In these roles, he helped to monitor the academic progress and eligibility of the college’s student-athletes, while also serving as the liaison to the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). Merce’s collegiate coaching career began at Saint Peter’s, where he was the assistant coach for four years. In 2012, he helped guide the Peacocks to a second-place finish at the MAAC Championship, which at the time was the highest finish for the program in the 31-year history of the conference. Mercecoached six players that earned All-MAAC honors, and played a key role in recruiting the roster that won the 2014 and 2015 MAAC Championships after his departure. Merce also served as the Assistant Academic-Athletic Coordinator for the Peacocks, where he assisted in monitoring the academic progress for the university’s 300 student-athletes. Prior to this, he served as a graduate assistant for Student-Athlete Academic Support, where he coordinated student-athlete’s study hall and assisted in the athletic department's Academic Progress Program. During this time, the department saw a rise in overall student-athlete GPA to over a 3.0 for the first time. Merce earned his bachelor’s in history (2008) and master’s in educational leadership (2010) from Saint Peter’s, where he was a four- year letterwinner and two-year captain. At the time of his graduation, Merce held school records for lowest single round score, most rounds under par and lowest MAAC Championship individual score. As an amateur player, Merce captured the Westchester Golf Association Public Links Championship in 2009 and 2011, the Westchester County Publinks Championship in 2010, 2015 and 2017, the 2016 South Jersey Golf Association Mid-Amateur Champi- onship and was runner-up at the 2011 Westchester Golf Association Mid-Amateur Championship. In addition, he has qualified and competed in several of the most prestigious events in the New York metropolitan area including the MGA IKE Championship, MGA Public Links Championship, New York City Amateur, and Westchester Open. 2017 MAC CHAMPIONSHIP ARCADIA GOLF All TIME AWARDS ARCADIA GOLF GOLF FACILITIES ARCADIA GOLF Old York Road Country Club in Spring House, PA serves home course for Arcadia’s men’s and women’s golf teams as well as the annual Arcadia Athletics Golf Outing each June.

The original course, designed by Donald Ross, was incorporated in 1914 and opened for play in 1915. The current layout was designed by William and David Gordon and opened in 1956. In 2000 and 2001 the course received an architectural upgrade under the direction of the nationally recognized design team of Hurdzan and Fry. The par 72 layout is acknowledged to be one of the most difficult courses in the area and plays at nearly 7000 yards for the men’s team and 6100 yards for the women’s team.

The remaining grounds were redesigned by George Fazio and it became known Flourtown Country Club. www.flourtowncc.com ON CAMPUS FACILITIES ARCADIA GOLF The Dome serves as an indoor on-campus practice space for Arcadia's men’s and women’s golf teams during the winter months.

  • Arcadia Unversity
    ! Arcadia University Founded in 1853 in Beaver, Pennsylvania as the Beaver Female Seminary, Arcadia University has been on its current campus in Glenside, a suburb that is 10 miles north of Philadelphia, since 1925. At that time, the school, then called Beaver College, was all- female and would remain so until 1972. In that same year the college also became a more comprehensive institution, offering graduate degrees for the first time. In 2001, Beaver College was granted university status by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and was renamed Arcadia University. Today Arcadia has approximately 4,000 students, including approximately 2,500 undergraduates. It is the smallest secular private university in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Arcadia is also nearly 70 percent female, according to data supplied by the university to US News. Arcadia is a moderately selective school, perhaps because of several unique degree programs, especially in education, the sciences and the health professions. Nearly 60 percent of the students who applied to join the freshman class that entered in 2014 were offered admission. The entering class had just under 1,200 students. The middle 50 percent of the class that submitted SAT scores scored between 1000 and 1200 (out of 1600) on the Critical Reading and Math sections of the test. The middle 50 percent for the ACT was between 22 and 27. Just over 60 percent of the undergraduate student body comes from Pennsylvania. Neighboring states including Maryland, New Jersey and New York are also well represented. Given Arcadia’s location and academic offerings—the university’s attractions are in business, communications, international studies and the health sciences—it is likely to be cross-shopped against other Philadelphia-area colleges as well as any state university in Pennsylvania.

    Arcadia University 8 Years Later PAGE 38 INSIDE aRcadia university 2007–08 ANNUAL REPORT Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Message from the President Arcadia University marched into 2008 taking big, bold steps. We developed a visionary Undergraduate Curriculum. We expanded our worldwide footprint to South Africa, Tanzania, France, and India. We developed robust online degree programs. We attracted more interest than ever from prospective students. We planned for a new Commons for students. We opened a new building and a new entrance. We began the largest-ever Campaign in this University’s history and ended the first year of the quiet phase with more than $12 million in commitments and gifts toward a goal of $23.5 million. I want to take this opportunity to thank each member of the Arcadia community because it is our collective effort that enables us to accomplish so much more together. Each donor recognized in this Annual Report made an important contribution to this University’s goals—and to our students’ success. Alumni, faculty, staff, parents, friends—your contributions are an affirmative statement about the educational quality experienced by each new generation of students in the warm shadow of Grey Towers Castle. In many conversations with alumni over the last two years, I have been able to point to what we are planning, what we are doing, and what we have accomplished already. Yet even as we tally the progress we are making, I sense that in many ways we are closing the circle with our history.
