So it's little wonder that his nine years as head coach at Cortland State have been marked with nine consecutive post-season bids and two national champion­ ships. A n ative of Rochester, N.Y., he attended Inrondequoit High School but did not take up lacrosse seriously until his collegiate days at Bowling Green University in Ohio. Winters played club lacrosse during the summer months in Rochester, however, once at Bowling Green, he became an ardent student and practitioner of the sport. By the time he graduated, Winters was named an All-American midfielder and a two-time All-Midwest performer for the Falcons. He played in the North-South game as a senior and received one of his greatest thrills when he returned in 1979 to coach the North team to a 21-15 victory in the annual all-star classic. Winters, who earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Bowling Green, came to Cortland State in 1971. He served as assistant lacrosse coach to Jack Emmer for two seasons before being named head coach in 1973. In his first year, Winters guided the Dragons to the USILA national championship. The Dragons lost to Hobart 14-10 in the NCAA s emi-finals the following year but avenged that loss in 1975 when Cortland won its second national title in three seasons. The Dragons have been in NCAA post-season play every year since and were runner-ups to Hobart in 1980 and 1981. The veteran Red Dragon mentor has posted 79 wins and 44 losses in his nine campaigns to become the most victorious lacrosse coach in Cortland State history. Winters is a member of the College's physical education faculty, the associate men's athletic director and is in charge of sc heduling for the 28 intercollegiate sports for men and women at Cortland State. In addition, he is presently serving appoint­ ments on the executive board of t he USILA, the NCAA Tournament Selection and NCAA All-American Selection Committees. Winters is also the NCAA Lacrosse Committee Secretary and Rules Interpreter. His past positions at C-State include assistant varisty soccer coach, junior varsity soccer coach, assistant varsity lacrosse coach and assistant varsity football coach. Extremely knowledgeable about lacrosse, Winters is often in demand at lacrosse clinics at the high school and collegiate levels. Chuck and his wife, Claudia, and their daughter, Kim, 5, reside in Homer. 2 POST-SEASON TOURNAMENTS IN PAST DECADE 1972 NCAA DIVISION I Quarter-Finals: Cortland 10, Navy 9 Semi-Finals: Virginia 14, Cortland 7 1973 USILA TOURNAMENT Opening Round: Cortland 11, Adelphi 5 Quarter-Finals: Cortland 9, Massachusetts 3 Semi-Finals: Cortland 14, Hobart 8 Final: Cortland 13, Washington 8 1974 NCAA DIVISION II Quarter-Finals: Cortland 16, UMBC 13 Semi-Finals: Hobart 14, Cortland 10 1975 NCAA DIVISION II Quarter-Finals: Cortland 9, UMBC 8(OT) Semi-Finals: Cortland 16, Washington 6 Finals: Cortland 12, Hobart 11 1976 NCAA DIVISION II Quarter-Finals: Ohio Wesleyan 12, Cortland 11 1977 NCAA DIVISION II Opening Round: Cortland 12, C.W.

Now in his 9th year with the Cortland State lacrosse staff, Bubba donned the red and white himself for four seasons as both a goalie and an attackman. In 1969, King received the Alumni Award for the most improved player. A n ative of Huntington, N.Y., Bubba was head lacrosse coach at Dowling College in Oakdale, N.Y., for the 1974-75 sea­ son. He returned to Cortland State where he earned his master's degree. Bubba and his wife, Lynn, and their new baby boy reside in Groton, where he is an administrator at Homer Elementary School. "B" TEAM HEAD COACH JERRY CASCIANI A native of Niagara Falls, Jerry begins his ninth campaign with the Red Dragon lacrosse program. He is an assistant professor at Cortland State, where he has been on the physical education faculty for the past 13 years. Jerry was an assistant varsity lacrosse coach for seven seasons, prior to taking over as "B" team head coach. Before coming to Cortland, he was the head lacrosse coach at Baltimore Junior College, where his 1967 squad went undefeated and captured the "unofficial" junior college national champ­ ionship. In addition to coaching lacrosse, Jerry is a linebacker coach on the varsity football staff and is a former assistant Red Dragon wrestling coach. He and his wife, Judith Lee, and their two children, Christopher 13, and Jennifer, 10, reside in Cortland. ASSISTANT COACH PETE FALLON Pete is a new member to the Dragon coaching staff this season, although hardly a new face in Dragon lacrosse circles. A 1977 Cortland State grad, he captained the Dragon squad his senior year and played on the 1975 national championship team as a sophomore. The Beth- page, L.I., native served as the jayvee lacrosse coach at Homer High for a season and was assistant varsity coach there for three years. Pete also coached junior varsity football at Homer. He will be working with Bubba King in coaching the Red Dragon midfielders and offense during the '82 campaign. Pete is currently pursuing his master's degree in physical education at Cortland State. The 26-year old coach is single and resides in Homer. 4 STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, COLLEGE AT CORTLAND Located atop one of th e many hills in central New York's "City of Seven •H Valleys", the State University College at Cortland was founded in 1868 as the Cortland Normal School.
