Philosophy
on
Athletics
As an institution of higher learning, Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania is committed to the development of the entire individ
ual. The philosophy of athletics at Edinboro is considered an inte
gral part of the institutional program of education which provides

times to enhance the educational values of the contest.
The Edinboro University Athletic Department believes that par

the students themselves. These experiences also contribute to the knowledge, skill
and emotional pattern that our students possess, thereby making them better persons
and citizens.

Head Coach Gary Kagiavas
\
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania appointed Gary
Kagiavas as head coach of the Fighting Scots women’s
soccer program in August of 1996. In addition to his
coaching duties at Edinboro, Kagiavas has served as the
coaching director of the Edinboro Regional Soccer Club
for the past two years. Under his direction, the organiza
tion has grown from four to 11 teams, and in the 1997-98
season, he took the 15-under team to the state finals.
Kagiavas has a wealth of playing and coaching expe
rience, both locally and at the international level, and
joined the Edinboro staff after serving as assistant man
ager of the Family First Sports Park in Erie, Pa., since
October of 1994.
Kagiavas was a standout defender at Gannon
University from 1987-91, and played professionally in his
native South Africa, Greece and Canada after earning his bachelor’s degree in 1991.
He has held a variety of coaching positions at many levels of competition since 1989,
highlighted by a successful stint as a professional coach in South Africa and a year as
an assistant coach at Gannon.
While at Family First, Kagiavas was responsible for organizing all phases of the
facility’s indoor and outdoor soccer leagues, serving as tournament director for more
than eight tournaments a year. Kagiavas was assistant tournament director for the 210team Flagship Cup tournament, hosted by Edinboro University, and also coached the
Erie Admirals, a new premier soccer club.
In 1994, Kagiavas was the head coach of Gannon’s men’s junior varsity soccer pro
gram, directing the team to its first winning record ever, an 8-5-3 mark. He assisted
head coach Marco Koolman with the varsity squads as the Golden Knight men posted
a 15-2 overall record while advancing to the NCAA Final Four, as well as assisted with
Gannon’s women’s program while coaching the 18-and-under Erie Strikers soccer club.
Kagiavas has been involved in coaching since 1989, when he began coaching the
Erie Strikers and also coached at Villa Maria Elementary School, guiding the team to an
11-2-2 record, its first-ever winning mark. Between 1989 and 1994, Kagiavas coached
at numerous camps and served as the assistant director at several tournaments. In the
spring of 1992, he was head coach
of the Springs (South Africa) Old
Boys of the Division I men’s semiprofessional league, earning Coach
of the Year honors. In the summer of
1991, Kagiavas was head coach of
the Boksburg “Two for Joy” Division
II team that competed in the
National Soccer League of South
Africa. Kagiavas has earned a
South African coaching license as
well as a professional referee
license.
Head Coach Gary Kagiavas
Prior to his coaching career, Kagiavas was a
four-year starter at Gannon, helping the Golden
Knights advance to two NCAA Division II Final
Four tournament appearances (1989 and 1990)
and a pair of Elite Eight berths (1987 and 1988).
He also has played professionally, competing for
a St. Catherines team that won the Canadian
Cup in the National Soccer League. Kagiavas
was a player/coach for the Springs Old Boys and
Boksburg “Two for Joy,” as well as for the
Eastern Transvaal all-select indoor team.
Gary and his wife. Dawn, a native of St.
Marys, Pa., have a daughter, Kaylee, who is twoyears old.
Graduate Assistant Coach Stacie Bortz
Stacie Bortz enters her first season as a graduate assistant
coach for the Fighting Scots. Bortz is a May 1998 graduate of
Mercyhurst College where she was a four-year starter in goal
for the Lakers. Bortz led the '94 Lakers to the NCAA Division II
Final Four and in ‘95 to the semi-finals of the NCAA tourna
ment. Bortz was also the starting shortstop on the Mercyhurst
softball team.
Bortz has a bachelor’s degree in Human Ecology with a
minor in Elementary Education. She has coached on the youth
level for the past two years, specializing as a goalkeeper
coach.

1998 Season Outlook
1998 SEASON...
Entering into the program's third year of
competition, the Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania women's soccer team is closer
than ever to achieving their goal of being a
consistent, experienced, and all-around tal
ented squad. With the return of the first
recruiting class of head coach Gary Kagiavas
and the addition of some very capable
recruits, the 1998 edition of the Fighting Scots
will look for steady improvement as the return
ing experience combines with new talent.
"Last year we had seven freshmen in our
starting lineup," said Coach Kagiavas. "The
1997 season was so physically and mentally
demanding - I think our returning players will
be able to raise their level of play this season
as a result of that experience."
THE SCHEDULE...
This season Edinboro has upgraded their schedule once more, playing five
teams which were ranked in the top 20 in NCAA Division II at the end of last sea
son, including national championship runners-up West Virginia Wesleyan College,
East Stroudsburg University of PA (11th), Mercyhurst College (17th), Bloomsburg
University of PA (18th), and Lock Haven University of PA (20th). Edinboro has
added nationally ranked Mercyhurst College, Malone College, St. Vincent College
and Concord University to its schedule this season, all strong teams which will chal
lenge the Fighting Scot squad to play at new levels. "We are striving to play as good
competition as possible - it pushes us to improve our skills and to toughen us men
tally," said Kagiavas.
Last season, the Fighting Scots proved their ability to compete with nationally
competitive teams, defeating Wheeling Jesuit College (then ranked 13th nationally),
4-3, in double overtime. In fact, Edinboro played in five overtime games last sea
son, with four of those going into two extra periods. According to Kagiavas, those
games did make some difference in the outcome of last year season, "If we had
split those games, we would be at .500-percent - if we had won, we would have had
a winning record."
RETURNERS...
The Fighting Scots return 13 players from the 1997 unit, all of whom will look to
raise the team's level of play this season. At midfield, Edinboro returns AllPennsyvlania State Athletic Conference player Alyssa Murosky. Murosky netted 10
goals and four assists last season as a freshman, the team's second-leading scor
er. Murosky has shown she has the ability to be a big scorer for Edinboro, con
tributing four goals and two assists to the team's 12-1 victory over LaRoche College
last season. She will be joined in the midfield by sophomores Beth Christopher (two
goals, four assists), Sali Frndak (three goals, two assists), whose overtime goal lift
ed the Scots, over Wheeling Jesuit last season, and Trish Meshanko (2 goals).
1998 Season Outlook
Returning forwards for the Edinboro squad include Megan Snyder and Sarah
Kramer. Snyder will be counted on once more to be a scorer for the Fighting Scots.
Last season, Snyder led the team in points with nine goals and eight assists (26
total points), including three goals versus LaRoche College and two against Notre
Dame (OH) College. Kramer, who began her career with Edinboro last season after
red-shirting a year, served as the team's co-captain and netted six goals and five
assists in 17 matches.
Edinboro returns the most experience on the defensive side of the field. Six
defenders will return to wear the Edinboro jersey. The skills and intensity of junior
Cara Peyton, the team's leading scorer in 1996 and the third leading scorer in 1997,
will most likely be utilized in a defensive role this season, possibly at sweeper.
Juniors Lisa Blackhurst, Dory Isgan, Jessica Hatton and Jessalynn Rodgers also
return, each with two year's experience. Blackhurst, who is also a key member of
the Fighting Scot softball team, played in 17 of the team's 18 contests last season.
Isgan possesses tremendous speed, and is also a proven scorer. Hatton and
Rodgers will both vie for increased action once again this season.
In goal, this season is perhaps one of the strongest for the Fighting Scots. Both
of last year's goalkeepers return for the 1998 season. Denna lammarino and
Meighan Gast, who shared goalkeeping responsibilities last year, combined for a
2.61 goals against average, lammarino recorded 82 saves in 960 minutes of action
in 1997. Gast grabbed 86 saves in 740 minutes. "Having a good goalkeeping base
is one of the most important aspects of a successful team," said Coach Kagiavas,
optimistic about Edinboro's chances at a winning season in part due to the presence
of this experienced tandem.
NEWCOMERS...
A number of key recruits will contribute additional aggressiveness and scoring
capabilities to this year's women's soccer squad. At midfield, Amy Lindsey (Allison
Park, PA/Hampton), Corinne Bruno (Waterford, PA/General McLane), Susan
Buchanich (Allison Park, PA/Hampton), and Kim
Hoyt (Niagara Falls, NY/Niagara Wheatfield)
will all compete for playing time. Amy Hazen
(Erie, PA/lroquois) will push for a forward posi
tion, and Bruno could also make a run for action
at the same spot. Defensively, Carrie Williams
(McKean, PA/General McClane) and Elizabeth
Glecos (Erie, PA/McDowell) will challenge the
returnees for a starting position.
Jillian
Campbell (Indiana, PA/Indiana Area) will be
looking for time in goal.
This year's focus is all-around. With the
addition of some new offensive talent, improv
ing scoring capabilities will be a major aspect of
this season's game. Solidifying the defense will
also be a key focus of the squad this season,
and could revolve around the redefinition of
roles for some of the most talented players on
the field.

Philosophy
on
Athletics
As an institution of higher learning, Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania is committed to the development of the entire individ
ual. The philosophy of athletics at Edinboro is considered an inte
gral part of the institutional program of education which provides

times to enhance the educational values of the contest.
The Edinboro University Athletic Department believes that par

the students themselves. These experiences also contribute to the knowledge, skill
and emotional pattern that our students possess, thereby making them better persons
and citizens.

Head Coach Gary Kagiavas
\
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania appointed Gary
Kagiavas as head coach of the Fighting Scots women’s
soccer program in August of 1996. In addition to his
coaching duties at Edinboro, Kagiavas has served as the
coaching director of the Edinboro Regional Soccer Club
for the past two years. Under his direction, the organiza
tion has grown from four to 11 teams, and in the 1997-98
season, he took the 15-under team to the state finals.
Kagiavas has a wealth of playing and coaching expe
rience, both locally and at the international level, and
joined the Edinboro staff after serving as assistant man
ager of the Family First Sports Park in Erie, Pa., since
October of 1994.
Kagiavas was a standout defender at Gannon
University from 1987-91, and played professionally in his
native South Africa, Greece and Canada after earning his bachelor’s degree in 1991.
He has held a variety of coaching positions at many levels of competition since 1989,
highlighted by a successful stint as a professional coach in South Africa and a year as
an assistant coach at Gannon.
While at Family First, Kagiavas was responsible for organizing all phases of the
facility’s indoor and outdoor soccer leagues, serving as tournament director for more
than eight tournaments a year. Kagiavas was assistant tournament director for the 210team Flagship Cup tournament, hosted by Edinboro University, and also coached the
Erie Admirals, a new premier soccer club.
In 1994, Kagiavas was the head coach of Gannon’s men’s junior varsity soccer pro

a 15-2 overall record while advancing to the NCAA Final Four, as well as assisted with
Gannon’s women’s program while coaching the 18-and-under Erie Strikers soccer club.
Kagiavas has been involved in coaching since 1989, when he began coaching the
Erie Strikers and also coached at Villa Maria Elementary School, guiding the team to an
11-2-2 record, its first-ever winning mark. Between 1989 and 1994, Kagiavas coached

1998 Season Outlook
1998 SEASON...
Entering into the program's third year of
competition, the Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania women's soccer team is closer
than ever to achieving their goal of being a
consistent, experienced, and all-around tal
ented squad. With the return of the first
recruiting class of head coach Gary Kagiavas
and the addition of some very capable
recruits, the 1998 edition of the Fighting Scots
will look for steady improvement as the return
ing experience combines with new talent.
"Last year we had seven freshmen in our
starting lineup," said Coach Kagiavas. "The
1997 season was so physically and mentally
demanding - I think our returning players will
be able to raise their level of play this season
as a result of that experience."
THE SCHEDULE...
This season Edinboro has upgraded their schedule once more, playing five
teams which were ranked in the top 20 in NCAA Division II at the end of last sea
son, including national championship runners-up West Virginia Wesleyan College,
East Stroudsburg University of PA (11th), Mercyhurst College (17th), Bloomsburg
University of PA (18th), and Lock Haven University of PA (20th). Edinboro has
added nationally ranked Mercyhurst College, Malone College, St. Vincent College
and Concord University to its schedule this season, all strong teams which will chal
lenge the Fighting Scot squad to play at new levels. "We are striving to play as good
competition as possible - it pushes us to improve our skills and to toughen us men
tally," said Kagiavas.
Last season, the Fighting Scots proved their ability to compete with nationally
competitive teams, defeating Wheeling Jesuit College (then ranked 13th nationally),
4-3, in double overtime. In fact, Edinboro played in five overtime games last sea
son, with four of those going into two extra periods. According to Kagiavas, those
games did make some difference in the outcome of last year season, "If we had
split those games, we would be at .500-percent - if we had won, we would have had
a winning record."
RETURNERS...
The Fighting Scots return 13 players from the 1997 unit, all of whom will look to
raise the team's level of play this season. At midfield, Edinboro returns AllPennsyvlania State Athletic Conference player Alyssa Murosky. Murosky netted 10
goals and four assists last season as a freshman, the team's second-leading scor
er. Murosky has shown she has the ability to be a big scorer for Edinboro, con
tributing four goals and two assists to the team's 12-1 victory over LaRoche College
last season. She will be joined in the midfield by sophomores Beth Christopher (two
goals, four assists), Sali Frndak (three goals, two assists), whose overtime goal lift
ed the Scots, over Wheeling Jesuit last season, and Trish Meshanko (2 goals).
1998 Season Outlook
Returning forwards for the Edinboro squad include Megan Snyder and Sarah
Kramer. Snyder will be counted on once more to be a scorer for the Fighting Scots.
Last season, Snyder led the team in points with nine goals and eight assists (26
total points), including three goals versus LaRoche College and two against Notre
Dame (OH) College. Kramer, who began her career with Edinboro last season after
red-shirting a year, served as the team's co-captain and netted six goals and five
assists in 17 matches.
Edinboro returns the most experience on the defensive side of the field. Six
defenders will return to wear the Edinboro jersey. The skills and intensity of junior
Cara Peyton, the team's leading scorer in 1996 and the third leading scorer in 1997,
will most likely be utilized in a defensive role this season, possibly at sweeper.
Juniors Lisa Blackhurst, Dory Isgan, Jessica Hatton and Jessalynn Rodgers also
return, each with two year's experience. Blackhurst, who is also a key member of
the Fighting Scot softball team, played in 17 of the team's 18 contests last season.
Isgan possesses tremendous speed, and is also a proven scorer. Hatton and
Rodgers will both vie for increased action once again this season.
In goal, this season is perhaps one of the strongest for the Fighting Scots. Both
of last year's goalkeepers return for the 1998 season. Denna lammarino and
Meighan Gast, who shared goalkeeping responsibilities last year, combined for a
2.61 goals against average, lammarino recorded 82 saves in 960 minutes of action
in 1997. Gast grabbed 86 saves in 740 minutes. "Having a good goalkeeping base
is one of the most important aspects of a successful team," said Coach Kagiavas,
optimistic about Edinboro's chances at a winning season in part due to the presence
of this experienced tandem.
NEWCOMERS...
A number of key recruits will contribute additional aggressiveness and scoring
capabilities to this year's women's soccer squad. At midfield, Amy Lindsey (Allison
Park, PA/Hampton), Corinne Bruno (Waterford, PA/General McLane), Susan
Buchanich (Allison Park, PA/Hampton), and Kim
Hoyt (Niagara Falls, NY/Niagara Wheatfield)
will all compete for playing time. Amy Hazen
(Erie, PA/lroquois) will push for a forward posi
tion, and Bruno could also make a run for action
at the same spot. Defensively, Carrie Williams
(McKean, PA/General McClane) and Elizabeth
Glecos (Erie, PA/McDowell) will challenge the
returnees for a starting position.
Jillian
Campbell (Indiana, PA/Indiana Area) will be
looking for time in goal.
This year's focus is all-around. With the
addition of some new offensive talent, improv
ing scoring capabilities will be a major aspect of
this season's game. Solidifying the defense will
also be a key focus of the squad this season,
and could revolve around the redefinition of
roles for some of the most talented players on
the field.
