Diebold will retire in the summer of 1996 after having served Edinboro University of Penn­ sylvania, the State System of Higher Education and the people of Pennsyl­ vania for 17 years as the 14th chief executive officer of the institution of higher learning that has come to acclaim under his leadership as one of Pennsylvania's and the nation's finest. Only one other chief executive, Joseph Cooper, who was principal of the then Edinboro State Normal School for 29 years between 1863 and 1892, has served a longer term of office than President Diebold. Much has been accomplished during President Diebold's tenure. He has brought a vigorous educa­ tional and moral leadership, a strengthening of the spirit of commu­ nity, a clear sense of mission and pur­ pose, and a new dimension of multiculturalism and diversity. The University has returned to and main­ tained financial health. Academic programs have been emphasized and improved, with more than 100 degree programs now offered. A renewed commitment to teacher education came with his establishment of the Center for Excellence in Teaching. Significant facilities and grounds improvements have been achieved, with several of the historic campus structures restored to their original splendor, a student union expansion completed, and an Alumni House constructed. Enrollment gains have been unprecedented in both numbers and academic quality. International linkage agreements with 15 educa­ tional institutions and organizations in four countries have positioned Edinboro University as a leader in international education both in the U.S. and abroad. And Edinboro Uni­ versity's program for students with disabilities, one of the first in the nation, continues to enjoy wide recognition as one of the finest at any college or university in the coimtry. The Orange, New Jersey, native is a graduate of Monmouth College and also holds a master of arts in educa­ tional administration from Seton Hall University. He has met coursework requirements for a doctorate in edu­ cation at Rutgers University and is currently completing the dissertation requirement for the Ph.D. program in higher education at the University of Pittsburgh. Prior to his presidency of Edin­ boro University, President Diebold was president of the University of Alaska from 1977 to 1979. Before that, he was executive secretary to the Board of Regents and special assis­ tant to the president of the University of Alaska Statewide System. From 1969 to 1976, he was director of Development and Planning at Kean College in New Jersey and a member of the graduate faculty at that institu­ tion; and from 1965 to 1969, he was assistant superintendent of the Nep­ tune Township (New Jersey) Public Schools. Recognized for his extensive experience in the field of education management. President Diebold's scholarly achievements in the disci­ pline of applied ethics in higher edu­ cation deserve special mention. The model statement he authored for the American Association of State Col­ leges and Universities, "Ethical Prac­ tices for College Presidents," was unanimously adopted by that profes­ sional organization and published as policy for the chief executives of its nearly 400 member institutions nationwide. It is the first formally adopted ethical practices and policy statement for higher education presi­ dents. President Diebold has been hon­ ored by the Government of Pakistan with the awarding of the degree of Doctor of Laws (honoris causa), pre­ sented at the Government House in the City of Karachi. The ceremony was attended by the presidents of the several Pakistani universities holding linkage agreements with Edinboro University, as well as many highranking officials of the Government 5 Foster F. Diebold of Pakistan and U.S. diplomatic offi­ cials. A staunch advocate of a statewide system of public universi­ ties in Pennsylvania, President Diebold supported the enabling legis­ lation for the State System of Higher Education (Act 188 of 1982) and saw the State System come to existence in 1983 as a member of the transition team. He currently serves on the Sys­ tem's Executive Council of Presidents and on the boards of the Pennsylvania Academy for the Profession of Teaching, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, and the Dixon University Center at Harrisburg. President Diebold's stature in American higher education has been recognized by several high-level appointments. He was named to the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, the leading national orga­ nization devoted to building constructive relationships between the two countries. He was also appointed to the Leadership Council of the Northeast-Midwest Institute, a regional component of the Center for Regional Policy, and to the Pennsyl­ vania Humanities Council, the pri­ vate, non-profit group promoting statewide public understanding of the humanities. j ^ j I j | \ ^ T Athletic Director Jody Mooradian Jody Mooradian begins her sec­ ond year as athletic director at Edin­ boro University of Pennsylvania. She joined the Edinboro staff in August of 1993 as associate athletic director and senior women's administrator for the Fighting Scots before being named athletic director a year ago. The Alumni Association of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania is proud of the University's continued excellence in academics, athletics, and special programs, and pleased to continue its support of the Fighting Scot football teaml t A New Hampshire native, Mooradian earned a bachelor's degree in political science at the Uni­ versity of New Hampshire in 1981, a master's in public administration at the University of Delaware, and a doctorate at the Delaware Law School. She served as a New Hamp­ shire state representative for District 4 from 1980-82 and is a member of the New Hampshire and Pennsylva­ nia bar associations. Before dedicating herself to a career in intercollegiate athletics, Mooradian served five years as a practicing attorney. She handled all aspects of insurance litigation for Devine, Millimet and Branch of Manchester, New Hampshire, for nearly two years after serving as inhouse counsel for the CIGNA Insur­ ance Company from 1987 to 1991. athletic events, as well as the Univer­ sity's outstanding summer camp pro­ gram, and overseeing compliance for NCAA Division I and Division II sports programs. In her current position, she is responsible for overseeing the daily operation of the Fighting Scots' 16sport intercollegiate athletics pro­ gram, including the supervision of a staff of more than 40 professionals and an annual budget of $1.5 million. She is director of all home, conference and NCAA athletic events and over­ sees NCAA and PSAC compliance and eligibility matters, financial aid, and scheduling for all athletes. As athletic director, Mooradian provides leadership for the Fighting Scots athletic department and is a key figure on the campus and within the Pennsylvania Conference. A member of the President's Cabinet, she has been named chairperson of the Gen­ der Equity Committee and was recently appointed to the PSAC Exec­ utive Committee. Her father, Andy Mooradian, was athletic director at the University of New Hampshire for 22 years. In 1993, Mooradian completed an administrative internship with the athletic department at the University of California in Los Angeles. While there, she handled NCAA compli­ ance and eligibility matters and worked with tutorial services bud­ gets and Title IX evaluations. She per­ formed similar duties in her first position at Edinboro where she assumed responsibility for financial aid for Edinboro's more than 300 stu­ dent athletes. She was also responsi­ ble for scheduling and administering Edinboro University's intercollegiate 6 7 Jody Mooradian T Head Coach Tom Hollman The Student Government Association of Edinboro University SUPPORTS FIGHTING SCOTS ATHLETICS Chris Adams, President Ryan Van Dusen, Vice President Ellen Sass, Director of Finance Melissa Kaufman, Secretary 8 In January 1988, Edinboro Uni­ versity hired Tom Hollman, Athens, Ohio, as its eleventh head football coach in the school’s history. Hollman came to Edinboro from Ohio Univer­ sity, where he was the defensive coor­ dinator. Hollman, beginning his eighth year, has the Scot program back in the national spotlight. At Edinboro, he has earned 52 wins against just 22 losses and two ties and owns an impressive 31-9-2 slate against the PSAC Western Division. Throughout his seven year career at Edinboro, he has never had a losing season. In addition, he has coached two Harlon Hill Award finalists, and the schools career leaders in passing, rushing, receiving and interceptions. The Scots have advanced to post-season play four of the past six years. In 1989, he was named the top coach in the East Region by the National Football Coaches Associa­ tion and also tabbed the top coach in the PSAC West. In 1990, he guided the Scots to their first-ever NCAA II playoff win as Edinboro routed Vir­ ginia Union and advanced to the national quarterfinals. "As a coach, I have been fortu­ nate to coach at many different levels, from high school to Division I. The Division II level here at Edinboro is very appealing to me in relation to my career goals. It is a great feeling to be a head coach at this level." Hollman's educational back­ ground begins with a high school diploma from Memorial High School in St. Mary's, Ohio, followed by his undergraduate degree in education from Ohio Northern University in 1968. Three years later Hollman received his master of science degree in education from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. football team and a two-year per­ former as a defensive back and offen­ sive end during his junior and senior years. He holds the school fecord with 13 career interceptions and earned All-American and All-District honors during the 1966 and 1967 sea­ sons. Hollman also lettered in base­ ball for three years during his stay at Ohio Northern. A chronological look at Holl­ man's coaching career begins in 1968 as an assistant coach at Sidney High School in Sidney, Ohio. From there, Hollman moved on to Greenville High School in Ohio where he became head coach from 1971-73. His Greenville squads posted an impres­ sive 26-2-2 mark during his threeyear stay. Hollman then moved on to Fre­ mont Ross High School as head coach for the 1974 and 1975 seasons, where his squad recorded 15 wins against three setbacks and two ties. Fremont was the Buckeye Conference champ in 1974, unbeaten at 9-0-1. In 1976, Hollman moved on to the collegiate ranks where he was the defensive coordinator for his alma mater at Ohio Northern University. The following year, Hollman accepted the head coach position at Wooster College (OH) and guided his squad to the best four-year record in the school history (24-11-1).

Replacing players each year is a chal­ lenge - but replacing greatness is another. Gone from a season ago is the school's all-time leading rusher, passer and inter­ ception leader. Whether 1995 turns into a season of reloading or rebuilding remains a mystery but it is likely the program's foundation and well-deserved reputation will have the Scot program back in the limelight again this fall. Entering his eighth season directing the Boro fortunes, head coach Tom Hollman returns 14 starters and 33 lettermen to a squad that posted a 7-3 mark a year ago. In '94, the Scots earned a #17 rank­ ing at season's end marking the sixth con­ secutive season Edinboro had finished among the nation's top 20. Since '91, the Plaid has earned two trips to the NCAA n championship field of 16 and posted an impressive 30-12-1 overall record. nly at Perkins® Family Restaurants can you enjoy all of your breakfast, lunch and dinner favorites anytime of the day.

Open 24 Hours 290 Plum Street Edinboro, PA Ph. 734-4600 10 The task at hand in '95 will be filling the shoes of record-setting All-Americans Larry Jackson, Jody Dickerson and Steve Russell. What makes this season even more of challenge is the Boro must look for replacements while playing, arguably, the toughest schedule in school history. Difficult from the beginning, the Scots open with a home contest against Hills­ dale, Division II's winningest program. The 10-game ledger also features non­ conference road games at Division I-AA Appalachian State and Division II power Portland State, while the Boro's cross­ over home game from the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division is vastly improved Mansfield. The divisional slate consists of home games against Lock Haven, California and lUP whereas the Boro treks to Shippensburg. Slippery Rock and Clarion. A strong road team the past three regular seasons (12-2-1), the Scots successes in '95 will again be based on their abilities to continue winning away from Sox Harri­ son Stadium. A Breakdown of Personnel Skill Positions Traditionally a strength for the team has turned into the biggest question mark for '95. With the departure of Jackson and Dickerson, the Scots lose over 12,000 yards of total offense. Simply stated, the Boro's success offensively will parallel the progression of junior quarterback Chris Hart. A backup the past two seasons. Hart has played in 16 games, completing 38% of his passes for 112 yards, one score and one interception. The running back spot is solid with the return of Tony Brin­ son (221 yards, 2 TDs) and the addition of highly-touted Gerald Thompson. Look for the Scots to rely heavily on the run­ ning game to assist Hart's development. The wideout spot is open with the depar­ ture of big-play man Lateef Walters. Terry Roberts, who has averaged nearly 27 yards per catch the past two years, must step up in '95. Offensive Line If who is throwing, running or catch­ ing the ball is a question, then the founda­ tion for '95 will be the return of the entire offensive line from a year ago. All-Ameri­ can tackle Jeremy O'Day is outstanding and will team with center Det Betti, guards Chad Wallick and Chris Barney and tackle Tom Lavis to secure the attack. Jesse Trevino also has plenty of game experience from a year ago. Tight end Todd Henne (15 receptions, 158 yards, 2 TDs) was named second team PSAC-West a year ago and returns as the squad's top pass catcher. John Sabo (6, 53,1 td) is also solid. Matt Gentile (46 tackles) and A1 Bass (32, 2 recoveries). Rich Jones (21 stops, 6 games) is also back while junior college transfer Jeff Traversy should step in and have an immediate impact. Linebackers All conference performer Michael Sims returns to anchor the second line of defense. Sims led the squad with 124 total tackles a year ago including 85 solo hits. He was in on four tackles for loss and intercepted one pass. With the departure of All-American Michael Edwards, the Scots may face a void here. Jerry Roberts, who recorded 16 hits in a reserve role a year ago, may be the one to step up. Emery Martin (9 stops, 3 games) and transfer Vanroy Williams (6-2, 235) could also play major roles for the Scots. Secondary Gone is All-American Steve Russell, the team's all-time interception leader but three other starters, with plenty of biggame experience return. Both cornerbacks, Marty Williams and Keith Cushenberry, earned second team all­ west selections in '94. Williams was fourth on the squad with 68 stops includ­ ing four tackles for loss, one interception and six deflections. Cushenberry regis­ tered 36 tackles and was second on the team with two picks. Rick Walker, a parttime starter through his career, is looking to recover from last year's shoulder injury. He contributed 39 hits in just six games in '94. Specialties Defensive Line Another crew which returns intact is the defensive front. All-American end Pat Schuster (65 tackles, 10 sacks) is closing in on the school's all-time sack record. Last season, Schuster registered 22 total tack­ les behind the line for -103 yards. All con­ ference end Bryan Lambert (73 stops, 7 sacks) also returns along with tackles 11 The Boro faces two holes to fill with the graduation of veteran placekicker Scott Rupert and the departure of Eric Wagner. In addition, with the graduation of Russell and Walters, the Scots must find replacements to return kicks and pimts. T Scot Success in the Classroom Progression of the student-athlete has always been a priority for Coach Tom Hollman and his staff. This past year, the tradition of success on the field and in the classroom continued for the Fighting Scot football program. A pair of starters, tight end Todd Henne and safety Rick Walker, not only had quality years on the gridiron for the Scots but were recognized as national scholar-athletes by College Foot­ ball Preview magazine. The pair were also honored as top student-athletes by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference and Edinboro University. Both students currently own cumulative grade point marks of better than 3.5. In 1994, Henne earned PSAC-West second team all star honors for his 15 catches for 158 yards and a pair of scores while Walker record­ ed 39 tackles, 20 solo, in just six games due to a shoulder injury.

Edinboro Hosts Hillsdale in '95 Season Opener Edinboro/Hillsdale Probable Lineups Winningest NCAA Division II Program Invades Sox Harrison Stadium EDINBORO OFFENSE QB THE GAME The Fighting Scots ofEdinboro University ofPennsylvania and the Hillsdale (MI) College Chargers, two teams with NCAA Division II post-season playoff aspirations, will square off Saturday afternoon (Sept. 2) in the 1995 football season opener for both schools. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Edinboro's Sox Harrison Stadium. THE RECORDS Edinboro is coming off a 7-3 campaign in 1994. The Fighting Scots, who advanced to the NCAA Division II playoffs in 1989,1990,1992 and 1993, missed qualifying for the post-season field by virtue of the team's 24-20 loss the last week of the season at Qarion. EUP posted a 4-2 record in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Division. Hillsdale won six of its final seven games after a 1-3 start to finish the '94 season with a 7-4 over^l mark. The Chargers outscored their final seven opponents by an average of 43-10. THE RIVALRY In the first-ever meeting between the teams last year, Edinboro jumped out to a 24-6 halftime lead on the road then held off a late Hillsdale rally to pull out a 31-28 victory. Edinboro had its large halftime lead trimmed to three, 2421 eaiiy in the fourth quarter, as Hillsdale scored a pair of TDs. But Edinboro All-American Larry Jackson put the game outofreachwithan 11-yard run with 3:11 remaining. Hillsdale scored a TD with two seconds to play for the final margin. Quarterback Jody Dickerson completed 19 of 28 passes for a career-high 334 yards. Lateef Walters also set a Fighting Scot record with 12 receptions for 229 yards and two TDs. Lowry joined the Hillsdale staff in 1980 after serving as head coach at Wayne (MI) State University for six years. He compiled a 38-21 -1 record at Wayne (.642), giving him a 15966-3 overall mark (.704) in 21 seasons as a college head coach. WINNING TRADHONS Both Edinboro and Hillsdale have proud winning gridiron traditions. Hillsdale has won more football games than any other NCAA Division II program in history, posting a 498-305-46 record in 104 years of competition (includes games played as an NAIA affiliate). The Chargers, who have won four more garhes than Pittsburg (KS) State's 494, should become the firet NCAA Division II football program to win 500 games. Hillsdale captured the NAIA national championship in 1985, and added a conference title in 1992. While Edinboro has posted a 234-277-24 overall mark in 66 seasons of competition, the Fighting Scots have enjoyed much greater success the past three decades. Edinboro is... • 156-89-10 since 1970 • 102-51-4 since 1980 • 39-15-2 since 1990 SEASON OPENER Edinboro has posted a 3-4 record in season openers during the Hollman era. Three of the four losses were at Division IAA programs, Youngstown State in 1991 and Liberty in both 1988 and '89. Edinboro is 19-12-4 in season openers since 1960. * / QUOTING COACH HOLLIviAN THE COACHES Tom Hollman begins his eighth year as head coach at Edinboro. Duringhis tenure, the Fighting Scotshave compiled a 52-22-2 overall mark (.697), including a 31-9-2 mark in the PSAC West. Edinboro has advanced to the NCAA Division II playoffs in four of his seven seasons (1989-90-92-93) and the Scots have never had a losing season under Hollman. Before joining the EUP staff in January of 1988, Hollman was the defensive coordinator at Ohio University for three years (1985-87). He also compiled a 24-11-1 mark as head coach at Wooster (OH) College (1977-81), giving him a 7633-3 overall record in 11 seasons as a collegiate head coach. Dick Lowry enters his 16th season as head coach at Hillsdale. He has guided the Chargers to a 121-45-2 overall mark (.726) during his tenure, capturing six conference titles and qualifying for the NAJA playoffs five times. "We're anxious to start. Hillsdale is a very challenging opener for us, especially since we have several new players in key positions. Hillsdale has had an excellent program for many years—they're well-coached and play a very physical brand of football. They also play in an excellent football league, so we'll need to play mistake-free football to have success against them." UP NEXT The Fighting Scots will hit the road for a pair of games against nationally ranked opponents. Sept. 9 at Appalachian (NC) State, which was ranked sixth in the Division I-AA pre­ season poll, and Sept. 16 at Portland (OR) State, which was tied for fourth in the poll with PSAC rival Indiana. Hillsdale will host St. Francis of Illinois next Saturday.

Sports Medicine Staff and Marching Band Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference and Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education The Pennsylvania State Ath­ letic Conference (PSAC) was organized in 1951 for the purpose of promoting and administering men's athletic programs within the fourteen state teachers col­ leges in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In 1977, due to the interest and growth of women's athletics, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference was restructured to provide for women's programs. 1995 Sports Medicine Staff: Front row (L-R): Mary Ann Frank, Tracy Harbula, Sarah Johnson, Patty Lindh, Robin Pusateri. Back row: Gary Hanna, Theresa Belesky, Brandyn Charlton, Kevin Heid, Dr. Richard Rahner, Brian Page, Mike Buscemi, Julie Neiderer, George Roberts. From its inception, each Con­ ference member selected its own competitive division within the National Collegiate Athletic Asso­ ciation (NCAA). In 1980, howev­ er, the presidents of the schools voted to reclassify to Division II. In 1983, all member institu­ tions were granted university sta­ tus as a result of Legislative Act 188 which formed the Pennsylva­ nia State System of fiigher Educa­ tion (SSHE). This system now enrolls in excess of 99,000 stu­ dents. The alumni of the SSHE number more than 402,000, including 287,000 in Pennsylva­ nia. The chancellor of the SSHE is Dr. James H. McCormick. The 1995 Edinboro University Spirit of the Scots Marching Band is under the direction of Dr. Gary S. Grant. Bruce Best is the pipe instructor and John Fleming is the faculty advisor. Drum majors are Diann Cemeans and Chris Snyder. Tam captains are Alicia Montedoro and Jennifer Zampogna and silk captain is Dawn Smith. This year's band is 125 strong and is proud to annoimce another exciting performance schedule. In addition to performing at home football games, they will travel to Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania. The Spirit of the Scots will participate in local and regional parades, the Tournament of Bands Championship in Washington, Pennsylvania, and at the September 17 Buffalo Bills football game. The Edinboro University Spirit of the Scots is proud of the tradition of active student involvement and leadership. This year the section leaders of the band are Ed Best, Sherrie Black, Michelle Bockstoce, Chad Danka, Kim Hartman, Mike Konieczko, Andy McKay, Jeff Mortimer, Alison Reichenfeld, Rob Rohrbach, Joe Sensor, Erin Stahlman, and Aaron Strausser. 36 One of the largest conferences in the nation, the PSAC is under the leadership of a board of direc­ tors (the 14 university presidents). The Conference also employs a commissioner. Dr. Charles A. 'Tod' Eberle. The PSAC sponsors 20 men's and women's intercollegiate sports. For men the PSAC offers baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and field, and wrestling. For women the sports include basketball, cross country, field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field and volleyball. Although all 14 institutions are members of NCAA Division II, nine schools have elected to participate at the Division I level in selected sports. The PSAC is one of the nation's most respected Division II conferences. Annually the PSAC places several teams in var­ ious NCAA top 20 polls. In addi­ tion, it has produced numerous national champions over the years. Chancellor James H.

Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Edinboro’s Sox Harrison Stadium. THE RECORDS Edinboro is coming off a 7-3 campaign in 1994. The Fighting Scots, who advanced to the NCAA Division II playoffs in 1989,1990,1992 and 1993, missed qualifying for the post-season field by virtue of the team's 24-20 loss to Clarion the last week of the season. EUP posted a 4-2 record in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Division. Hillsdale won six of its final seven games after a 1-3 start to finish the '94 season with a 7-4 overall mark. The Chargers outscored their final seven opponents by an average of 43-10. THE RIVALRY In the first-ever meeting between the teams last year, Edinboro jumped out to a 24-6 halftime lead on the road then held off a late Hillsdale rally to pull out a 31-28 victory. Edinboro had its large halftime lead trimmed to three, 2421 early in the fourth quarter, as Hillsdale scored a pair of TDs. But Edinboro All-American Larry Jackson put the game outofreach with an 11-yard run with3:ll remaining. Hillsdale scored a TD with two seconds to play for the final margin. Quarterback Jody Dickerson completed 19 of 28 passes for a career-high 334 yards. Lateef Walters also set a Fighting Scot record with 12 receptions for 229 yards and two TDs. THE COACHES Tom Hollman begins his eighth year as head coach at Edinboro. During his tenure, the Fighting Scots have compiled a 52-22-2 overall mark (.697), including a 31-9-2 mark in the PSAC West. Edinboro has advanced to the NCAA Division II playoffs in four of his seven seasons (1989-90-92-93) and the Scots have never had a losing season under Hollman. Before joining the EUP staff in January of 1988, Hollman was the defensive coordinator at Ohio University for three years (1985-87). He also compiled a 24-11-1 mark as head coach at Wooster (OH) College (1977-81), giving him a 7633-3 overall record in 11 seasons as a collegiate head coach. Dick Lowry enters his 16th season as head coach at Hillsdale. He has guided the Chargers to a 121-45-2 overall mark (.726) during his tenure, capturing six conference titles and qualifying for the NAIA playoffs five times. Lowiy jpined the Hillsdale staff in 1980 after serving as head coach at Wayne (MI) State University for six years. He compiled a 38-21 -1 record at Wayne (.642), giving him a 15966-3 overall mark (.704) in 21 seasons as a college head coach. WINNING TRADTIONS Both Edinboro and Hillsdale have proud winning gridiron traditions. Hillsdale has won more football games than any other NCAA Division II program in history, posting a 498-305-46 record in 104 years of competition (includes games played as an NAIA affiliate). The Chargers, who have won four more games than Pittsburg (KS) State's 494, should become the first NCAA Division II football program to win 500 games. Hillsdale captured the NAIA national championship in 1985, and added a conference title in 1992. While Edinboro has posted a 234-277-24 overall mark in 66 seasons of competition, the Fighting Scots have enjoyed much greater success the past three decades. Edinboro is... • 156-89-10 since 1970 • 102-51-4 since 1980 • 39-15-2 since 1990 SEASON OPENER Edinboro has posted a 3-4 record in season openers during the Hollman era. Three of the four losses were at Division IAA programs, Youngstown State in 1991 and Liberty in both 1988 and '89. Edinboro is 19-12-4 in season openers since 1960. QUOTING COACH HOLLMAN "We're anxious to start. Hillsdale is a very challenging opener for us, especially since we have several new players in key positions. Hillsdale has had an excellent program for many years — they're well-coached and play a very physical brand of football. They also play in an excellent football league, so we’ll need to play mistake-free football to have success against them." UP NEXT The Fighting Scots will hit the road for a pair of games against nationally ranked opponents. Sept 9 at Appalachian (NC) State, which was ranked sixth in the Division I-AA pre­ season poll, and Sept. 16 at Portland (OR) State, which was tied for fourth in the poll with PSAC rival Indiana. Hillsdale will host St. Francis of Illinois next Saturday. PSAC VS. MIFC When Edinboro and Hillsdale kick it off in Saturday's opener, it will mark the third straight season that the Boro has opened with an opponent from the Midwest Intercollegiate Football Conference (MIFC). Edinboro owns a 1-1 record in those games, dropping a 23-9 home decision to Ferris State in 1993, and rebounding to beat Hillsdale 31-28 on the road last season. In another season opener which pits the PSAC vs. the MIFC, Indiana University of PA wiU travel to Grand Valley State. Last season, lUP rallied from a 33-14 deficit in their first game to defeat GVSU, 35-33. Overall in 1994, the PSAC held a 4-1 record vs. MIFC opponents. However, in those five games the average margin ofvictory was only four points. The only PSAC loss occurred in the NCAA II playoffs when Ferris State upended West Chester, 43-40. EXPERIENCED DEFENSES Saturday's showdown will showcase two teams that should be very good defensively once again. The Scots feature six returning starters on defense led by an excellent pair of ends, senior All-American Pat Schuster and senior Bryan Lambert, and the team's leading tackier from a year ago, senior linebacker Michael Sims. Schuster had 10 sacks last year to pull within four of Edinboro's all-time record of 25.5, while Lambert had seven sacks to go along with 73 stops. Sims had a team-leading 124 tackles playing the middle for the Boro. This year Sims will move outside, where he posted 84 tackles, and a team-high ten pass break-ups as a freshman. In the secondary, the Plaid will be strong at the comers with AU-PSAC selections Marty Williams (68 TT, 4 TFL) and Keith Cushcnberry (37 TT, 2 ints), but must replace both starting safeties from a season ago. The Chargers return seven starters from a defense which led the rugged MIFC, and ranked 11th nationally, yielding just 303.3 total yards per game. Leading the defensive troops will be senior All-American free safety Scott Elwer, who has picked off a Hillsdale record 18 interceptions during his career, including a single-season record of 10 in 1994. Elwer got off to a fine start in last year's opener against the Boro, snaring two misplaced aerials. Several other key players return on defense for Hillsdale, includingjuniorlinebackerScottDuncan(l 13 total tackles in '94), senior right tackle Darrell DeWitt (50TT, 7 TFL), junior middle linebacker Corey Knight (48 TT) and junior strong safety Jim Manens (60 TT, 3 ints). RUNNERS LOOK TO EXTEND 100-YARD STREAK Edinboro All-American mnning back Larry Jackson ran for more than 100 yards in each of his last 16 games as a Fighting Scot. This season, Edinboro hopes to continue the tradition of stellar mnning backs with a deep backfield led by leading returning msherTony Brinson and highly touted newcomer Gerald Thompson. Brinson is the team's leading msher among returnees, as he gained 221 yards on 45 carries (4.9 ype) in 1994. Thompson was selected the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (WPJAL) high school player of the year in 1992 at Woodland Hills after mshing for 1,639 yards and 25 TDs. Thompson originally signed to play at the University of Pittsburgh, but transferred to Edinboro in 1993 and participated in spring drills this year. Edinboro's offensive line should give the backs a chance to continue the string of 100-yard games as all five starters return from a year ago, led by All-American guard Jeremy O'Day (6-3,280) and co-captain Det Betti (6-3,278) anchoring the line from his center position. While the Scots no longer have record-setting quarterback Jody Dickerson, junior Chris Hart looks to use his experience in the program in a positive way as the team's starter. He'll have a talented unit of receivers, led by Mesa Junior College transfer Gilben Grantlin, who had 35 catches for 785 yards and 11 TDs last year. HILLSDALE ON OFFENSE Offensively, Hillsdale returns five starters from a unit that averaged 35 points per game last season. The strong point of the Chargers' attack is the line, where All-American Brad Affholter returns at guard and junior Jay Szykowny returns at tackle. Senior tailback Anthony McCree is the Chargers' top returning msher, recording 814 yards and 10 touchdowns on 186 carries last year, while senior tight end Aaron Petersen leads the list of returning receivers after making 22 catches for 258 yards and four scores in '94. Sophomore Ralph Tmitt makes his debut at quarterback, replacing Greg Younger who completed 56.6 percent of his passes for 1,899 yards with 19 TDs and 11 interceptions. A PEEK AHEAD If you watched ESPN's telecast of the University of Nebraska's win Thursday night over Oklahoma State University, you may have cringed a little when the sports network flashed the halftime score of the Fighting Scots next opponent, Appalachian (N.C.) State University. The Mountaineers, ranked sixth in the NCAA Division IAA pre-season poll, led Atlantic Coast Conference member Wake Forest University 24-0 at intennission, before settling for a 24-22 road victory. Edinboro plays at Appalachian State in Boone, N.C. next Saturday (Sept. 9) in a 7 p.m. contest. It doesn’t get any easier the following week as the Scots travel cross-country for a showdown with Portland (OR) State University. The Vikings were ranked No. 4 in the NCAA Division II pre-season poll. This is their final season of Division II competition before moving up to NCAA Division I-AA next year.
