#7 Edinboro Opens PSAC West Slate, Hosts Clarion University
The Game
The #7 ranked Fighting Scots of Edinboro
University, coming off an open week,
play host to Clarion University. The '92
Homecoming game is sponsored by Troyer Farms, Inc. It marks the Boro's third
home contest in four starts this season.
The Records
Edinboro remains behind lUP in the
Division II and Northeast Regional rank­
ings and boasts a 3-0 record while Clarion
is winless in three tries in '92.
The Scots have run off consecutive
wins over Buffalo (35-13), Northwood
(37-13) and Southern Connecticut (41-0)
but face their toughest test in Clarion.
Golden Eagle opponents for '92 are a
combined 13-1, whereas Edinboro's are
just 2-9. Clarion has dropped straight
decisions to defending I-AA national
champion Youngstown State (48-7), Divi­
sion II's 13th ranked New Haven (48-47)
and the NAIA 4th ranked squad West­
minster (21-11).
Under fifth-year head coach Tom
Hollman, Edinboro is tough at home with
21 wins in 24 games (21-2-1) at Sox Harri­
son Stadium.
The Series
The Scots are on the short end dating
back to 1926, as the Golden Eagles hold a
32-29-2 edge. Edinboro has won five of
the last six meetings including a tough
17-9 decision in Clarion a year ago. The
last time the Golden Eagles took the Scots
in Edinboro was 1984,35-24.
The Coaches
Hollman owns 32 wins against 14
losses and one tie (.688) directing the Scot
fortunes including an 18-5-1 mark in
western division play. The Boro has
earned two trips to the national playoffs
(1989 and 1990) under Hollman including
a crowning as PSAC co-champions in '89.
His nine-year collegiate mark of 56-25-2
(.691) includes four years at Wooster Col­
lege (Ohio).
Clarion is led by veteran Gene
Sobolewski who owns a 49-42 record in
his 10th year as head coach. Respected
across the PSAC, Sobolewski enters his
22nd year overall at Clarion. Named head
coach in 1983, he has helped Clarion to a
.647 winning percentage since his arrival
as an assistant in 1971.
The Offenses
Through week #3, the Scots ranked
7th in scoring offense, tallying 37.7 points

per game. The ground attack is 10th best
in Division II due to PSAC leader Larry
Jackson (54 att., 414 yds., 7 TDs) and
backup Derrick Russell (35, 166, 2 TDs).
QB Jody Dickerson (16, 51, 1) is also a
threat while the Scots feature a trio of
fullbacks in Tom Tedder (10, 36, 2 TDs),
Chris Snyder (4, 35) and Wade Westerfield (6,23).
The passing attack is solid with Dick­
erson connecting on 28-of-53 passes for
430 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 intercep­
tions. Wrentie Martin leads the receiving
corps with 18 catches for 330 yards and 1
score. Dave Ashton (5, 68, 1 TD), Paul
Stone (3, 32) and Brian Heebsh (2, 32) are
also threats. Tackles Mike Kegarise and
Tony Tighe, guards Bill Sparenberg and
Scott Nickel and center Gordy Hitchcock
clear the way for the Scots to average
440.7 yards per game, 7th best in Division
II.
Clarion can score behind the efforts
of veteran QB Tim Myers (41, 85, 472, 5
TDs, 3 INTs) and RB Damien Henry (53
att., 283, 2 TDs). FB Jay Tonini (32, 149)
gives Clarion good balance.
Myers' top targets include tight end
Tim Brown (19, 164) and speedster Mar­
lon Worthy (11, 214, 3 TDs). The Golden
Eagles can score, netting 47 points against
New Haven while also getting over 300
yards of total offense in the loss at
Youngstown.
The Defenses
Through the first three games, the
Scots ranked 3rd nationally in total
defense (160.7 ypg). All-American Jason
Perkins leads the team with 35 tackles
including 25 unassisted. He has also
added 3 sacks, 2 tackles for loss, 2 deflec­
tions, 2 forced fumbles and a blocked
extra point in '92.
Michael Sims (20, 4 def., 1 rec.) and
Michael Edwards (15) make up a solid
linebacking corps. Up front, ends Antho­
ny Ross (19, 4 sacks, 4 for loss) and Devas
Simmons (15, 4 for loss, 3 forced fumbles.
3

2 rec.) have been a force while tackles
Russell Cray (20, 2 for loss) and Rob
Harmer (11, 2 for loss) make up the front
four.
The secondary has been quiet, but
anchors a squad that ranks 9th nationally
in pass defense efficiency. All-American
cornerback Georj Lewis (6, 1 forced fum­
ble) starts his 38th straight game while
Mario Houston (8, 1 for loss) is at the
other "DB" spot. Free safety Mike Barnes
(14) has the Scots lone interception while
strong safety Steve Russell (6) rounds out
the starting 11.
Clarion has surrendered plenty of
points, but to great offensive squads. AllAmerican linebacker Damon Mazoff
leads the club with 44 stops, including 18
against Westminster. LB Frank Andrews
(36,2 sacks) is also very active.
Tackle Jason Reinhart (32) leads the
team in sacks with 4 and anchors the inte­
rior while DB Sean Spencer (39) has also
turned in a solid year. Overall, DB Brad
Kline may be having the finest year for
the Golden Eagles. In three games, Kline
has been credited with 36 stops, 1 inter­
ception, 2 recoveries and 2 fumbles
caused.
Special Teams/Kicking Game
Edinboro has an offensive weapon in
PK Scott Rupert who has connected on
14-of-15 extra points and 3-of-7 field
goals. His long three-pointer is 30 yards.
Gary Lhotsky (10, 38.7 ypp, L55) handles
the punt duties.
Clarion counters with kicker Paul
Cramer (3-5 fg, 4-5 PATs) and punter Tim
Myers (21,37.2 ypp, L59).
The respective kickoff return teams
are potent as Edinboro's Larry Jackson (3
ret., 32.0 ypr) and Clarion's Marlon Wor­
thy (9, 17.2 ypr) can break the big play.
Worthy also handles the punt returns (7,
9.7 ypr) while the Scots will counter with
Michael Barnes (6,18) or Dave Ashton (29).

President Foster F. Diebold
dent Diebold has positioned Edin­
boro University to meet the chal­
lenges of the 1990s, as well as those
that will face public higher education
in the 21st century.
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.
Foster F. Diebold
Now in his thirteenth year as
president of Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania, Foster F. Diebold is the
fourteenth chief executive officer of
the institution of higher learning that
has come to acclaim in the last
decade as one of Pennsylvania's and
the nation's finest. He has brought a
vigorous educational and moral lead­
ership, a strengthening of the spirit of
community, a clear sense of direction
and purpose, and a dimension of
multicultural pluralism and diversity.
Much has been accomplished
during President Diebold's tenure.
The University has returned to finan­
cial health. Significant facilities and
grounds improvements have been
achieved, with several of the historic
structures on campus restored to
their original splendor. Academic
programs have been emphasized and
improved, with more than 100 degree
offerings now available. Enrollment
gains have been unprecedented in
both numbers and academic quality.
International linkages have been
established with institutions in sever­
al other countries, and Edinboro Uni­
versity's disabled student services
program continues to gamer acclaim
as one of the finest among all colleges
and universities in the United States.
Widely recognized as a leader in edu­
cation both here and abroad. Presi­

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.
For his leadership on an interna­
tional scale and for his many contri7

buttons to the advancement of higher
education and enrichment of an
emerging culture in Pakistan, Presi­
dent Diebold was decorated with
prestigious gold medals from three
Pakistani universities. The awards for
educational eminence were presented
during visits to the Edinboro campus
by official Pakistani delegations.
Most recently. President Diebold
was honored by the Government of
Pakistan with the presentation of the
degree of Doctor of Laws (honoris
causa) presented at the Government
House in the City of Karachi. The cer­
emony was attended by the presi­
dents of the various universities
holding linkage agreements together
with Edinboro University and many
high-ranking officials of the Govern­
ment of Pakistan.
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 Pennsylva­
nia Academy for the Profession of
Teaching, the Pennsylvania State Ath­
letic Conference, and the University
Center at Harrisburg.
Active in community affairs, he
serves on the Board of Directors of
the Erie Conference on Community
Development and the United Way of
Erie County, the Board of Corpora­
tors of both St. Vincent Health Center
and Hamot Medical Center, and on
the Executive Committee of the
French Creek Council, Boy Scouts of
America. He is also a member of the
Marine Bank Advisory Board, the
Advisory Board of the McMannis
Educational Trust Fund, and the
Pittsburgh Plate Glass Corporation
Scholarship Review Committee.

Athletic Director James K. McDonald
Edinboro University's athletic program was placed under the talented
and aggressive leadership of Jim McDonald in July of 1981. Increased emphasis
on fund raising to provide a sound scholarship foundation has become his top
priority while numerous changes and innovations have also keyed the Scots'
athletic program under his direction.
Through his efforts more than $4 million has been raised during the
past eleven years. The funds generated by the energetic athletic director's
efforts will be used to assist Edinboro's men and women athletes who compete
in the Scots sixteen intercollegiate sports.
In addition to maintaining Edinboro's respected winning tradition in
intercollegiate athletics, the former health and physical education professor has
vastly expanded the University's summer activities.
Sixty camps were sponsored by the Fighting Scots Booster Club this
past summer on the University's campus. Sox Harrison Stadium was the site for
the Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers first scrimmage, an event the veteran ath­
letic director hopes to bring back to the area each year.

Jim McDonald

The personable athletic director also introduced Edinboro's Hall of
Fame program which has evolved into an annual year-ending event to honor
present and past athletes.
McDonald has been at Edinboro since 1962 and for 12 years served as
the Fighting Scot basketball coach (1962-1975) and never experienced a losing
season while his teams compiled an impressive 181 wins against only 89 losses.
During that span, his cagers won four Western Division Pennsylvania Confer­
ence crowns, the PC state championship and two District 18 titles that netted
trips to the NAIA National Tournament. His teams set 27 University records
and made 19 post-season appearances while four of his players were named
All-Americans.
Prior to accepting his position at Edinboro, McDonald served as assis­
tant basketball coach in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956 graduate of Bridgeport High
School in his home town of Bridgeport, West Virginia.
In 1960 he received a degree in chemistry and physical education from
West Virginia Wesleyan College and he also holds a master's "degree in health
from the University of Buffalo.
As an undergraduate, he set nine school records at Wesleyan and was
twice voted both AP and UPI basketball All-American. In 1960, he was the sec­
ond leading scorer in the United States, averaging slightly over 33 points a
game, and led his team to the national basketball tournament in Kansas City,
Missouri. He was named to the NAIA's All-Toumament Team in 1959 and 1960.
In 1966, McDonald was selected Area Eight Coach of the Year by the
eastern seaboard coaches and that same year was honored as one of the top ten
finalists in the Coach of the Year national poll. McDonald's honors also include
selection to the West Virginia All-Time College Basketball Team and member­
ship in the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.
As a resident of Edinboro, McDonald has a record of extensive commu­
nity involvement. He was Little League Baseball director for four years and also
held a four-year post as a member of the General McLane School Board. He and
his wife, Mary Lou, have three sons - Mark, Mike and Matthew.

The funds generated by
the energetic athletic
director's efforts will be
used to assist Edinboro's
men and women athletes.

Scots Look to Rebound; Eye Trip to the NCAA IIs

Seven
ways to

a fresh, hot meal, let us melt one up
for you.

It's hard to say that a 7-4 season was
disappointing. But when expectations
were to advance to the NCAA II playoffs
for the third consecutive year, the 1991
won-lost mark was not what the Scots
had envisioned.
Anticipating that the 1992 pre-season
polls will have Edinboro back in the
national picture. Football Gazette will rank
the Scots number eight. It appears the
pressure will be on once again. Expecta­
tions yes, but the Fighting Scots' recent
success has created them.
The Hollman Era of 1988-92 has
Edinboro posting a 29-14-1 slate, includ­
ing 18 of 24 wins in the rugged Pennsyl­
vania State Athletic Conference Western
Division. Two trips to the national play­
offs, co-championship of the PSAC, forty
school records, two Division II Player of
the Year finalists and 17 All-Americans
are among the accomplishments. All in
the last four years.
Tom Hollman begins his fifth season
with the Scots and boasts a 53-25-2 record
in eight years on the Division II level. His
winning percentage of .663 is among the
nation's best in small-college football.
Edinboro returns 33 lettermen and 17
starters (including specialties) in 1992 and
should once again battle for the PSAC
West title. Home encounters include the
University of Buffalo and Northwood
(MI), as well as PSAC western division
rivals Clarion (Homecoming), Slippery
Rock and Shippensburg.
The Scots travel to Southern Con­
necticut, Lock Haven, California, lUP and
Millersville with hopes of extending their
season beyond November 14.
In 1991, Edinboro played five of their
first seven games on the road, and ulti­
mately it cost them a trip to the national
playoffs. This season shows more of a
balance, with the Plaid hosting three of
the first four games at Sox Harrison Sta­
dium. With a 19-2-1 home record under
Hollman, look for the Scots to come out
of the blocks quickly in '92.

Skill Positions
PSAC West Rookie of the Year Jody
Dickerson returns at quarterback with
veteran Sean Seibert ready to step in if
needed. Dickerson connected on 53 per­
cent of his passes last year, covering 1,382
yards and eight scores, while rushing for
another 240 yards and three touchdowns.

Seibert can still lay claim to Edinboro's
lone NCAA II playoff win when he engi­
neered a convincing 38-14 margin at Vir­
ginia Union in 1990.
A veteran crew of receivers returns,
led by Wrentie Martin (39-607-3 TDs),
Paul Stone (9-117) and tight end Brian
Heebsh (13-162-2 TDs). Martin and Heebsh were PSAC West second team selec­
tions in '91 and all three bring a wealth of
game experience to the offense.
The running back position is solid
with Derrick Russell (68-403-3 TDs),
Larry Jackson (29-188-2 TDs), Corey Hill
and Vidal Farr. Someone will have to
carry the bulk with the departure of AllAmerican Lester Frye. Three-year starter
Tom Tedder (41-173-1 TD) returns at full­
back and could be the PSAC West's best
at this spot. Tedder will get plenty of
backup support from sophomore Chris
Snyder.

Offensive Line
With the graduation of All-American
Curtis Rose and All-PSAC pick Wally
Spisak, the Scots must fill two rather large
pairs of shoes. PSAC West second team
choice Mike Kegarise has pro potential
with his 6-7, 300 pound frame. Starters
Scott Nickel, Tony Tighe and Gordy
Hitchcock also return, as will Chad Wallick, Det Betti and Dave Nowacki. Quality
depth is key, so Hollman will most likely
call on a pair of top recruits to help
anchor the offensive front.

Defensive Line
Gone is All-American tackle John
Messura, so the interior will highlight
some new faces. Experience does return
in Otha Davidson (22 tackles) and Russell
Cray (42) while LB Devas Simmons (36) is
likely to convert to a down lineman spot.
End Anthony Mariani (48 tackles, 8 for
loss) also returns and had a solid '91 in
his initial year. Messura's spot must be
filled if the Scots are to improve on their
150-yard per game rushing yield of last
year.

Linebackers
All-American and All-PSAC West
choice Jason Perkins (135 tackles) returns
to solidify a very good corps of lineback­
ers. Perkins was sensational in'91, picking
off two passes, recording nine tackles for
11

losses and adding four sacks to his team
high tackle mark. Perkins has been cho­
sen as a 1992 pre-season first team AllAmerican by the Sporting News.
Returning sophomore Steve Russell will
give help after recording 41 tackles in '91
and tying Perkins for the team lead in
interceptions with two.
Veteran Steve Nagy and newcomer
Mike Edwards both looked good in
spring workouts and will make heavy
contributions. Simmons can play both the
down position and linebacker and should
be an impact player in 1992.

Secondary
With the return of All-American
Georj Lewis and PSAC West second team
pick Mike Barnes, the Scots' defensive
backfield returns plenty of experience.
1990 PSAC West Rookie of the Year Mario
Houston will be at the other corner spot.
Houston was in on 75 stops last year and
led the team with 12 pass deflections.
Lewis was a third team choice by
Football Gazette last year and has started
34 consecutive games at the corner. His 50
tackles also earned him a first-team spot
on the PSAC West All-Star squad. Barnes,
a free safety/linebacker with outstanding
speed and toughness, was third on the
squad in '91 with 83 tackles. Only
linebackers Perkins and Joel Marratta (88)
were in on more tackles than Barnes.
Backup quarterback Sean Seibert has
the inside track at the vacant free safety
spot, vacated by four-year starter Wade
Smith. Mike White and a host of top cal­
iber freshmen give Edinboro a great sec­
ondary in 1992.

Specialties
A pair of starters return in punter
Gary Lhotsky and place-kicker Scott
Rupert. Lhotsky earned second team
PSAC West honors a year ago with his
38.1 yards per punt. His average was sec­
ond best in the division and fifth overall
in the state. Lhotsky has averaged just
under 37 ypp over his two-year career.
Rupert, just a sophomore, had a solid
freshman year in '91, finishing second on
the team with 36 points. He was true on
5-of-7 field goal tries and converted 21
extra point attempts. A great all-around
athlete, Rupert led the Scot baseball team
last spring with a .398 batting average.

Head Coach Tom Hollman
In January 1988, Edinboro University hired Tom Hollman, Athens, Ohio, as
its eleventh head football coach in the school’s history. Hollman came to Edin­
boro from Ohio University, where he was the defensive coordinator.

Hollman, beginning his fifth year, has the Scot program back in the national
spotlight. At Edinboro, he has earned 29 wins against just 14 losses and one tie
and owns an impressive 18-5-1 slate against the PSAC Western Division.
In 1989, he was named the top coach in the East Region by the National
Football Coaches Association 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 Virginia Union and advanced to the national quarterfinals.
"Edinboro has been a great experience, and I like the direction of the pro­
gram," Hollman said.

Tom Hollman

"As a coach, I have been fortunate to coach at many different levels, from
high school to Division I. The Division II level here at Edinboro is very appeal­
ing to me in relation to my career goals. It is a great feeling to be a head coach at
this level."
/
Hollman's educational background 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 Uni­
versity in Cincinnati, Ohio.
While at Ohio Northern, Hollman was a three-year starter for the football
team and a two-way performer as a defensive back and offensive end during
his junior and senior years. He holds the school record with 13 career intercep­
tions and earned All-American and All-District honors during the 1966 and
1967 seasons. Hollman also lettered in baseball for three years during his stay at
Ohio Northern.

"Edinboro has been a
great experience, and I
like the direction of the
program."

A chronological look at Hollman’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 impressive^ 26-2-2 mark during his
three-year stay.
*
Hollman then moved on to Fremont 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 ’74, unbeaten at 90-1.

In ’76, Hollman moved on to the collegiate ranks where he was the defen­
sive 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’s
history (24-11-1).
In 1981, Hollman took an assistant coaching spot with Ball State University
which he held through the ’84 campaign. Then, beginning in 1985 Hollman held
the defensive coordinator position at Ohio University.
"It has been a very comfortable transition for me," Hollman added. "I have
found the community to be supportive and the administration is giving me
every opportunity to be successful here at Edinboro," he concluded.

"I still feel one of the most important things about
football on the Division II level is to make it fun for
the players involved ... My initial goal for this
team when I got here (Edinboro), and it still
remains today, was to make football an enjoyable
experience for this team and its coaching staff,"

Scot Cagers Could be

When the PSAC men's basketball
coaches vote in the pre-season for the
western division favorite for 1992-93,
look for the Fighting Scots to be selected
near the top.
In three seasons directing the pro­
gram, head coach Greg Walcavich has led
the Scots to 60 wins in 84 games includ­
ing a conference runner up finish last sea­
son. A 20-9 slate in 1991-92 was good
enough for a berth in the state champi­
onship game but once again, the Scots fell
short of their ultimate goal - a trip to the
NCAA II national championship tourna­
ment.
After beginning 1992-93 with a pre­
season slate of games against NCAA
Division I Alaska-Anchorage and AlaskaFairbanks on the road, the Scots face a
non-conference schedule which includes
backyard rivals Gannon and Mercyhurst
and PSAC Eastern Division perennial
powers Cheyney and Millersville. Wal­
cavich feels it will all benefit the Scots in
the conference stretch run.
But the good news for the four-year
coach is the return of his most experi­
enced group since taking over in 1989-90.
Leading the charge will be the team's
leading scorer of a year ago, Adam
Cheek. The 6-2 shooting guard netted an
Edinboro single season record 594 points
last year and averaged 20.5 points per
game - all when he averaged just 27 min­
utes of play.

Other returnees include seniors Greg
Fox, Sam Dickerson and Junior Simpson;
juniors Lasana Crider, Ron Santiago and
Exavier Zollicoffer and red-shirt fresh­
man Keith Perry.
Fox earned the starting point guard
spot a year ago at Christmas and the
Scots proceeded to win over 85% of their
games the rest of the way. He finished the
year with 103 assists.
Dickerson and Simpson occupied the
middle last season and averaged 3.0 and
7.0 ppg respectively. Both are solid
rebounders while Simpson is the defen­
sive force at center, leading the squad
with 49 blocked shots a year ago.
Crider, who averaged just over three
points per game, appears to be fully
recovered from knee surgery and will
press both centers for playing time. Santi­
ago will spell Fox at the point while Zolli­
coffer will look to improve on his 6.5 ppg
mark a year ago. A clutch performer, Zol­
licoffer drilled a game winning three
point basket in the PSAC semi-finals
against East Stroudsburg last season.
Leroy Bobo, a 6-4 forward from Jor­
dan Community College in Michigan,
will look to fill the void left by Aaron
Brown. Bobo netted 17.6 points and 8.1
rebounds a year ago.

New Look Lady Scots
for 1992-93
Replacing first-team Kodak AllAmerican Tammy Walker, Edinboro's first
ever, is literally impossible, so Lady Scot
head coach Stan Swank does not want to
talk about 'that' anymore. His sights are
on a "new-look" squad with a mesh of
some familiar faces and plenty of new.
The Lady Scots return six players
from a team that finished 22-8 and quali­
fied for the NCAA II national tourna­
ment. Edinboro has claimed one PSAC
crown under Swank and twice has fin­
ished runner up.
Leading the list of returnees will be
PSAC West 1st team choice Jeannine Jean
Pierre. The senior from the Virgin Islands
averaged 20 points per game last year,
playing an average of over 35 minutes.
Her 581 points were the third most in
Lady Scot history.
Also returning to the fold will be
guards Andrea Williams, Pam Artman
and Shelby Hodge and forwards Terri
Ayers and Cathlene Criss.
33

Williams proved her ability to score
with 31 points in the season finale and
finished the year with 320 points and 111
assists. Artman was also solid, dishing off
85 assists and scoring 5.3 points per
game, while Hodge connected on nearly
30% of her three point tries last season.
Ayers will be the Lady Scots' inside
force, coming off a year where she
grabbed 247 rebounds. Just a junior,
Ayers now stands as Edinboro's 15th alltime rebounder with 424. Criss played in
20 games last season and will look to
improved playing time this season.
Swank boasts some top recruits for
the upcoming season including Diana
Holder, Lori Montgomery and Shauna
Nevel, the most valuable player in the 5th
Annual North Coast All-Star Classic in
the Cleveland, Ohio, area last year.

Wrestlers Eye Division I
Top 20
After finishing 25th at the NCAA
Division I wrestling championships last
season and in the top 30 the past two
years, the 1992-93 Fighting Scots and
head coach Bruce Baumgartner will eye
the nation's elite and a ranking in the top
20 at season's end.
Under the watchful eye of the
Olympic champion, the Scots have made
a steady progression back to the nation's
top 10 - a position they secured in their
first three seasons of Division I wrestling
from 1987-89. The Scots return a pair of
All-Americans in 118-pounder Lew
Rosselli and Tom Shifflet at 142.
Rosselli has emerged in the national
spotlight as one of the favorites for the
NCAA Division I national title. After
placing 4th in the 1992 Olympic Trials,
Rosselli has gained the experience to gear
up for his title run in March. A 4th place
finisher in 1990-91, Rosselli redshirted
last season and enters the season with 96
career wins against just 23 losses and 4
ties.
Shifflet earned All-American honors
last year as a freshman, finishing 7th at
the Division I championships. He was
voted PSAC and Eastern Wrestling
League Rookie of the Year for his 32 wins
against just 13 losses and 1 tie.

Greetings:
On behalf on the Board of Governors for the State System of Higher Education
and the Office of the Chancellor, I am pleased to welcome you to today’s exciting athletic

The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) is a nationally respected
athletic association. Last season, over 40 teams were among the best in the coimtry,
competing in regional and national championship competitions in football, basketball,
swimming, track and field, wrestling, field hockey, tennis, lacrosse, cross country,
softball, and baseball. Many athletes earned All-American and top scholar recognition
for their work in the classroom and in the athletic 8o*ena. The efforts of these women
and men who represent their universities emd the entire State System, in victory or
defeat, are supported and applauded.
/

The outstanding university coaching staffs that provide leadership), instruction,
and encouragement also are to be commended for their contributions to the PSAC.
Nothing can replace the time and talent they give to their students and universities.
The Board of Governors, the university presidents, the campus commimities, and I
hope you will continue supporting our State System universities and their athletic
programs during the 1992-93 academic year. Your attendance is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Seibert will earn a political science
degree this December in just seven
semesters of attending Edinboro Univer­
sity. His 3.0+ cumulative grade point
average and contributions to the Scot
football program make Sean a true schol­
ar-athlete. He has been recognized the
past three years for his outstanding
accomplishments by the University.

Lewis, who last year earned AllAmerican honors at defensive back, has
found the academic and athletic balance
to complete his business administration
degree in four years. His 3.0+ cumulative
grade point is outstanding, considering
he has started every game since his fresh­
man year, a string of 34 consecutive,
entering the 1992 season.

Pete Zapadka Wins PSAC Media Award
Pete Zapadka, former sports reporter at
the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, is the winner
of the fourth annua! Pennsylvania State

He left his position in the sports depart­
ment in May after nearly 11 years to accept
a position as an executive producer with
the Post-Gazette Radio Network.
The award is given by the sports
information directors of the PSAC to a
media member who has supported and
promoted conference athletics.
Zapadka is the second Pittsburgh media
person to receive the award. Ray KienzI,
sportswriter for the Pittsburgh Press, was
the first recipient of the award in 1989.
Ross Nevel of the Lock Haven Express
and former sports information director at
Lock Haven University, was the 1990
honoree and Skip Mutter of the Patriot
News in Harrisburg was the award winner
last year.
Zapadka is being recognized for his
dedication to excellence in sports reporting
and for the many contributions he has
made to the PSAC over the years. He is
known for his honesty, integrity, diligence
and hard work.
In addition to his outstanding efforts to
get coverage in the paper for PSAC

confidant to the sports information directors
throughout the PSAC, not only those in the
Western Division.

standings, schedules, results, etc. of PSAC
schools in the Post-Gazette. He also was

sports of major media interest.
A strong booster of coverage for all
NCAA Division II and III schools plus
NAIA institutions, Zapadka was an initial
supporter of the idea of PSAC press
conferences for football and basketball
when those events were in the formative
stages.
In addition to sports, Zapadka’s hobby
is astronomy and he has written feature
articles for the Post-Gazette’s Science
page on that topic. He is the membership
secretary for the Amateur Astronorhy Asso­
ciation of Pittsburgh.

to work full-time at the Post-Gazette in
January of 1976. He moved to the sports
department in August, 1981.
Zapadka and his wife, Lynne, live in
Pittsburgh with their two daughters, Allison,
7, and Jessica, 3V2. Lynne works as an
account representative in retail advertising
for the Pittsburgh Press.
