season at the helm of the Edinboro
University softball program.
Gierlak guided Edinboro to the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference
playoffs in 1990 and led the Fighting Scots
to a 21-10 overall record in 1994.
The Boro has not been as fortunate in
recent years, but did make a revival in
2003. After going 7-24 in 2002 and 9-28 in
2001 the Fighting Scots finished with a 1622 ledger. Last year's team was 8-28.
Gierlak's 2000 squad posted a 21-15 record,
his fourth 20-win season.
The 2000 version of Fighting Scot softball posted 14 wins in the PSAC West, the
most conference victories with Gierlak in
charge. Two of the PSAC wins came
against perennial power Califomia(Pa.).
Gierlak began his coaching career in
football before concentrating on softball.
He coached the Edinboro softball team

Dan Gierlak enters his sixteenth

from 1989-94, then after a one-year hiatus
in 1995 to focus solely on his duties as an
assistant on former head coach Tom
HoUman's football staff, he returned in
1996.
After graduating from Edinboro in
1983, Gierl^ moved on to Thiel College,
serving as an assistant football coach in
1984. His next stop was semi-professional
football, directing the Chicago Cowboys to
a national title in 1984 and a second-place
national finish in 1985. Gierlak returned to
his akna mater in 1986, serving as an assis­
tant football coach at Edinboro for nine
seasons. He was responsible for the
recruitment and coaching of eight Fighting
Scot All-Americans, including 1989 Harlon
Hill Finalist Elbert Cole and Jeremy O'Day,
a 1996 first-team AU-PSAC offensive line­
man and a member of the 1998 CEL Grey
Cup Champion Toronto Argonauts.
A native of Buffalo, New York,
Gierlak graduated from Edinboro with a
Bachelor's Degree in Health and Physical
Education. He was a three-year letterman
for the Fighting Scots football team as a £
defensive back.
Gierlak and his wife, the former Amy
Adams, also a graduate of Edinboro
University, have three children, Alexandria
Alicia (12), Daniel Jr. (Joey) (9) and Lauren

dent-athletes who compete for our football, wrestling, basketball, volleyball,
wheelchair basketball and other adaptive sports, cross country, track, soccer,
swimming, and softball teams. INe are proud of their accomplishments ath­
letically and academically, and we are proud of our coaching stajfwho assist
in making good things happen for students and the University.
The Athletic programs at Edinboro University enjoy a rich history and
tradition of excellence. This amazing legacy will be among the points of
pride celebrated during the University's Sesquicentennial in the 2006-07
academic year. As we prepare to celebrate the University's 150th anniver­
sary, we are guided by the theme, "Building a prosperous future through
academic excellence and civility." The learning, dedication, discipline, and
sportsmanship that are central to the experience of Edinboro athletes also

quality of life on our campus and throughout the communities of northwestern Pennsylvania. Clearly, the
Fighting Scots are a partner in the region's prosperity.
YJe encourage our Fighting Scot Fans to visit the campus as often as possible. I look forward to
greeting you at our athletic, cultural, and arts presentations.

Oierlak Looks for Upperclass Leadersliip
to Lead to Wins

^

X_idinboro University softball coach
Dan Gierlak looks to reverse a disturbing
trend, as his Fighting Scots have suffered
four straight losing seasons. Edinboro
ended the 2004 campaign with an 8-28
record, ending the season with ten
straight losses.
Gierlak likes what he sees in this
year's squad. He admits that the pitching
is yoimg, and the Fighting Scots \\dU have
to score some runs to put people away,
along with mixing and matching a group
of inexperienced but promising hurlers.
What impress^ the veteran coach
the most is the leadership capabilities of
his upperclassmen. "If you watched our
practices, you would never know we only
won eight games last year," related
Gierlak. "The attitude of the kids has just
been great. This is a close-knit team.
They have worked extra hard through the
fall and winter.
"I think our senior leadership is out­
standing. Andrea Palmieri, Jen Ronald,
Tara Frantz have been here four years,
and they want to leave on a greeat note.
Holly Hutchison is a junior who is an out­
standing person and a super player. It's
been a few years since we've had some
great leaders. I don't think anyone will
outwork us."
While Gierlak likes his team's leader­
ship capabilities, on the field it's hitting
that will hopefully carry the Fighting
Scots to a winning season, that despite a
.236 team average a year ago.
"I think we will be able to hit,"
Gierlak emphasized. "I'll be very disapp>ointed if we don't. I know we have to
score some runs.
"We're stiU yoimg in pitching, we
threw well at times last year. We have
some exceptional pitchers, which we
haven't had in a while. I'm excited about
our two freshmen pitchers. I'm anxious to
see those kids. Our pitchers are a year

A year ago Gierlak entered the sea­
son wi^ two sophomores and two fresh­
men on his pitclWg staff. It hasn't
changed this year, as the youth still
abounds. But the four aforementioned
pitchers are a year older, and he's added
two freshmen who possess great promise.
The veteran of the group is Kim
Heissner, a junior who posted a 1-12
record but with a respectable 2.92 ERA.
In 621/3 innings she gave up 85 hits and
33 walks with 24 strikeouts.
"Kim had a great freshman year",
emphasized Gierlak, "including a one-hit­
ter against Mercyhurst. She was dinged
up last year with a back injury, and
wasn't healthy most of the year. She's
looking good this year and will have an
impact. She has a great drop ball. She
throws hard, and she's learned to become
a pitcher, not just a thrower."
The other junior on the pitching staff
is Samantha Knipp, but she has seen lim­
ited action her firet two years. "Her first

two years it seemed like each year she's
gotten sick in the winter," Gierlak pointed
out. "This year she's healthy. She has to
become a lot more consistent. She's a lot
stronger and her ball is moving better."
Gierlak points to last year's game
with Califomia(Pa.) when talking about
Krupp's potential. She held a 1-0 lead
before the Vulcans rallied against a tiring
Krupp. She finished the year with an 0-4
record and 6.44 ERA in 291/3 innings.
Sophomores Jessica Lindamood and
Kim Kurchev showed promise as fresh­
men. Lindamood finished with a 3-4
record with a 3.72 ERA. She tossed a
team-high 69 2/3 innings, giving up 89
hits and 25 walks while striking out 32.
"Jessica emerged in the fall," Gierlak
commented. "She picked up a little speed,
working on a riseball. She already has a
great changeup. There's times when she
throws the ball extremely well. With her
changeup, she can emerge as a dominat­
ing pitcher for us." Lindamood's hitting
also caught Gierlak's attention this fall.
Kurchev highlighted her freshman
campaign with a no-hitter against
Fayetteville State. She ended the year
with a 4-8 record and 5.25 ERA, but threw
two shutouts. In 66 2/3 innings she
allowed 105 hits, with 31 walks and a
team-high 49 strikeouts.
Two freshmen in particular have
Gierlak excited. The first is Vanessa Rose,
a lefthander who was a two-time confer­
ence player of the year at
Manchester(Oh.) Fligh School. "Tm very
impressed with her," related Gierlak.
"She makes the ball move more than any­
body I've been around." Rose may be
slowed early on after a bout with
mononucleosis this winter.
The other first-year hurler expected
to make an impact is Mary Lynn Arlotta.
A former standout at Moimt St. Mary
Academy, Arlotta is a two-time league
MVP. "Mary Lynn comes from a good
program," noted Gierlak. "She's a strong
kid who can make the ball move. I think
she'll emerge as one of our top pitchers.

Edinboro University Softball 2005

older. At the same time, I don't think we
can go out and just blow people away
with one pitcher. We have to move pitch­
ers around."
In addition to the young pitching
staff, the middle infield has Gierlak con­
cerned. While the Fighting Scots are very
solid at first and third, Gierlak must
replace starters at second base and short­
stop. His main goal — make the routine
plays.
For years Gierlak has scheduled an
extremely grueling southern trip to begin
the season. He's taking a different
approach this year, wifii nine games
sAeduled in Fort Myers, FL. The differ­
ence is the Fighting &ots will face eight
teams from the north, plus traditional
southern power Lynn. The trip gets
underway on March 7 vs. Holy Family.

Pitcliers

As a freshman she'll take her lumps, but
she's smart. She's a pitcher, not a throw­
er."
Two other newcomers will likely
play limited roles this year. Lauren
Gardner is a freshman who is a hard
worker and continues to work on funda­
mentals. Gabe Shields is a local product
from nearby Fort LeBoeuf High School. A
player with promising abiMity, she threw
some in the fall but not much during the
winter. She could also see time at first
base.

Infielders
The saying goes that winning teams
are strong up the middle. More than any­
thing the Fighting Scots will be young
and inexperienced.
The good news is the Fighting Scots
are very strong on the comers with HoUy
Hutchison at first base and Andrea
Palmieri at third base.
Hutchison, a junior who swings from
the left side, emerged as Edinboro's sec­
ond-leading hitter in her first season as a
Fighting Scot after transferring from
Geneva.
She hit .317
with a teamhigh 19
RBIs, and
displayed
plenty of
extra base
power with
9 doubles, a
triple and a
homer.
"Holly
is one of the
best hitters
in our con­
ference,"
exclaimed
Gierlak.
"We expect
big things
from her.
Aft

She may play some other spots in the
infield. Holly's a leader with a great
glove, and one of the best sticks since I've
been here."
Pahnieri enters her fourth year as the
starter at the hot comer. A strong defen­
sive performer, she has improved as a hit­
ter each year. A year ago she bumped her
average up fro .242 to .259, with 14 RBI's,
second on the team, with 5 doubles and a
team-high 3 home runs.
"Last year Andrea's glove was not as
good, as she made a lot of errors (22), but
die pitchers didn't help," Gierlak pointed
out. "She's out to prove she's one of the
best third basemen in our league, both in
fielding and hitting. She has the ability to
be an outstanding hitter. Last year she
came through at times with clutch hits."
Junior Basil Davis is expected to take
over at second base, with sophomore
Kristi Diminuco the likely starter at short­
stop. Gierlak has one goal for both play­
ers — make the routine plays.
Davis saw considerable action as a
freshman, but not as much as a sopho­
more as she struggled with a .156 average
in 64 at
bats.
"Basil has
done a real
good job.
She's
worked
her tail
off,"
stressed
Gierlak.
"She has
very good
athletic
ability. I
think she's
going to
have a
good year
for us,
both hit­
ting and in
the field.

She has the ability to be very steady."
Diminuco also stmggled with the bat
as a freshman, with just 3 hits in 37 at bats
(.081), striking out 17 times. "Kristi has
been a pleasant surprise," admitted
Gierlak. "She has a very steady glove and
can make the routine plays. She's worked
hard on batting, and has come a long
ways. She has the ability to be a very
good player."
No fewer than five players are bat­
tling for the catching job, and Gierlak feels
whoever wins out will be an improve­
ment from a year ago. None of them saw
time behind the plate a year ago.
The lone veteran is Leanne
Carmichael, a versatile sophomore who
will also see time at first base and also
possibly third base. She spent most of her
time at designated hitter a year ago, fin­
ishing with a .143 average.
"We needed to find a spot to get her
on the field," Gierlak emphasized. "She's
a hard worker and has developed into a
pretty good catcher."
The other four candidates are fresh­
men, all with qualifies that have caught
Gierlak's attention. Jessica Cox was a
standout on two Northwestern High
School teams that reached the PIAA
Western finals, in 2002 and 2004. "Jess
has a cannon for an arm," noted Gierlak.
"She can play. She's a bigger kid and
comes from a very good program. She
knows how to win. She has great confi­
dence in herself, and she can hammer the
ball. I'm real impressed with her."
Mandie lorfido spent the winter
playing on the women's basketball team,
so she may get a late start. But her athlet­
ic ability intrigues Gierlak, so much so
that she may also see time at shortstop.
"Mandie is a hard-nosed kid who
knows the game," Gierlak pointed out.
"She swings a great bat, has a very good
arm, and is a leader. She's a good enough
athlete that she could play in any spot."
Hannah Kipfer is actually in her sec­
ond season academically, but did not play
a year ago. She has been a pleasant sur-

Gierlak enters 2005 feeling the
strength of his team is in the outfield, with
two of three starters returning.
After playing at first base and hitting
just .216 as a sophomore, Jen Ronald
moved to right field a year ago and hit a
team-leading .341 while earning second
team All-PSAC West honors. She had 4
doubles and a pair of triples while steal­
ing 7 bases in 8 tries.
"Jen needs to pick up where she left
off last year," Gierlak stated. "She did a
great job. She'll be our number two or
three hitter. She can bimt, run or slap.
She's not a flashy player, but very steady."
Senior Tara Frantz enters her fourth
year as the starting center fielder. A first
team AU-PSAC West selection as a sopho­
more when she led the Scots with a .303
average, she dropped to a .257 average a
year ago. Frantz did have 5 doubles, a
homer, and stole 7 bases in 12 attempts,
but Gierlak expects her play to improve
this year.
"Tara was previously an all-region
player, and she has to get back to being at
that level," emphasized Gierlak.
"Defensively, she has a great glove, a can­
non for an arm, and she covers a lot of

Edinboro University Softball 2005

prise, exhibiting a very strong arm. If her
bat comes aroimd, Gierlak predicts she'll
see plenty of action either at catcher or in
the outfield.
Megan Prazenica is another player
who can play multiple positions, and
could also see time in the infield. She can
run and has exhibited a solid bat.
Depth aboimds at first base, with
Carmichael, Arlotta and Lmdamood capa­
ble of playing there. In addition, Jen
Ronald, the starter two years ago, could
move back in from right field if needed.
Diminuco and Prazenica are the
reserves at second base, with lorfido an
alternative at shortstop. Cox and
Carmichael will fill in for Palmieri at third
base.

Outfielders

ground. She loves to play The better she
plays, the better we'll be."
Left field is up for grabs, with Cyndi
Camaghi, Kipfer and Rose leading the
battle. Camaghi is a junior who played
two seasons at UNC Pembroke before
transferring to Edinboro. After hitting
.269 while starting 41 games for the
Braves in 2003, she slumped to .169 a year
ago.
"Cyndi has been a plesant surprise,"
commented Gierlak. "She can run well,
and has a strong arm. I'm anxious to see
her hitting. We've changed some things.
She can be a good player."
The hidden variable in the outfield is
Katie Wratten, a fourth-year junior who
saw considerable action in 2003, hitting
.262, but played in just 20 games a year
ago, with a .200 average. She is serving
an internship near her hometown in New
York, and may not be available very
much.
Gierlak looks for freshmen Abby
Paterline and Amanda Ward to figure in
the outfield mix. Paterline is a redshirt
freshman who joined the team this year
and is still
raw. Ward
is also a
sophomore
academical­
ly who
joined the
team this
year, and is
also in need
of experi­
ence.
