Dan Gierlak enters his eleventh season at the
helm of the Edinboro University softball program
Gierlak has enjoyed success as the coach of the
Edinboro softball program. He guided the Boro to the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference playoffs in
1990 and led the Scots to a 21-10 overall record in
1994. Last season, the team posted a 20-22-1 record,
the third 20-win season under Gierlak.
Gierlak began his coaching career in football
before concentrating on softball. He coached the softball team from 1989-94, then after a one-year hiatus
in 1995 to concentrate solely on his duties as an
assistant on former head coach Tom Hollman’s foot
ball staff, he returned in 1996.
After graduating from Edinboro in 1983, Gierlak
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 alma
mater in 1986, serving as an assistant football coach at the Boro for nine seasons.
He was responsible for the recruitment and coaching of eight Fighting Scot AllAmericans, including 1989 Harlon Hill Finalist Elbert Cole and Jeremy O’Day, a 1996
first-team All-PSAC offensive lineman and a member of the 1998 CFL 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 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, Daniel Jr. (Joey) and Lauren. Amy
is also a former Nancy Acker Award winner, recognized as the top senior female ath
lete at Edinboro in 1989.

Last year’s late season charge and
third place finish in the PSAC West, com
bined with a returning nucleus of key play
ers, has coach Dan Gierlak and the
Edinboro softball team eager to get back
on the playing field.
"This team has great potential,” noted
Gierlak. “There is a good mixture of vet
eran leadership and young talent on this
team. We are definitely excited about this
year."
As usual the Fighting Scots will open
the season by playing some of the stiffest
competition in the country. Within the first
week of the 2000 campaign the Boro
faces NCAA Division II Regional qualifier
C.W. Post and Coker College, which fin
ished 7th in Division II last year.
"We play against some great competi
tion,” said the 10-year veteran. “The
tough schedule helps us when we get into
conference play.”
Unfortunately, when conference play
arrives the schedule doesn't get any easi
er for the Scots. Two-time National
Champion and perennial Division II power
California(Pa.) and lndiana(Pa.), the two
teams that finished ahead of the Scots in
the PSAC West last year, are not the only
PSAC teams that pose a threat.
"The PSAC has gotten better each year
since I arrived at Edinboro. We have to
show up to play every game because
there is not a weak team in the league or
on our schedule," said Gierlak.
This year's success will depend on the
team's offensive production. "We need to
do some things like bunt and run to jump
start the offense," stressed Gierlak. "We
have the ability to be an outstanding hit
ting team, it is just a matter of getting
everyone hitting at the same time."
Last year, the Scots scored three runs
or fewer in 27 games, compiling an 8-181 record. Edinboro averaged just 3.44
runs per game. "With our pitching we
don't need to score a lot of runs we just
need to be consistent," Gierlak added.
The Boro was 6-7 in one run games and
10-8 in games decided by two runs or
fewer during the 1999 campaign.
The 2000 version of Edinboro softball
has all the elements of a winning team
with solid veteran pitching as well as a
defense that committed just 66 errors in
43 games. "We have good gloves and
strong arms all around," commented
Gierlak. "The kids have worked hard and
we have some three and four-year
starters that understand what I expect and
how to push themselves. We won 10 out
of 16 down the stretch last year so they
also know what it takes to win games."
Pitching
Senior Suzanne Nimelli, a two-time AllPSAC second team selection, is part of
Edinboro’s dynamic pitching duo.
Page 4

formers Brianne Taylor and Suzanne
Nimelli anchor the pitching staff.
Sophomore Tiffany Miller and freshman
Kelly Griffith will also be looked upon to
provide some innings.
"Our pitching is outstanding. The better
Nimelli and Taylor throw the better we will
be," stated Gierlak.
A year ago the Edinboro pitching staff
allowed just 2.54 earned runs per game,
tossing nine shutouts while holding the
opposition to a .222 batting average.
"No team in the league has a better pair

SBSTS mu TS suits ss ms SSSSiSS
of pitchers,” Gierlak boasted.
“They
understand how to pitch and are the main
strength of our team. They are the best
pair of pitchers I have seen in my tenure
at Edinboro.”
Taylor, a junior, made 25 appearances,
completing 19 of her 20 starts. She post
ed an 11-10 record, leading the Scots in
wins and innings pitched with 139.2. In
addition, Taylor registered 127 strikeouts,
while only allowing 38 walks. She also
tossed 4 shutouts.
Nimelli, a senior, finished 9-10 with 132
strikeouts in 134.2 innings of work. Her
6.86 strikeouts per seven innings ranked
second in the PSAC last season. In 23
appearances she recorded 15 complete
games, fired 4 shutouts and allowed only
37 free passes.
Gierlak believes Griffith has the poten
tial to be better than Taylor and Nimelli.
Unlike Taylor and Nimelli, who were
thrown to the wolves as freshmen, the for
mer first team All-New York State per
former will have time to develop. Griffith
already has good movement on all her
pitches and a great knuckleball.
Miller, a freshman, has worked hard on
becoming more consistent in her delivery.
She will be a role player this season but
has already improved greatly from fall to
spring.
Infieid
Depth and versatility are two words that
can be used to describe the Fighting Scot
infield. A year ago injuries gave players
the opportunity to learn and develop at
other positions. As a result, six of the
seven members of this year's infield have
the ability to play multiple positions.
Brandy Henderson, a second team AllPSAC performer as a freshman, solidified
her spot at first base with last season’s
performance. She batted .306 in her first
season with team-highs in doubles (6),
runs scored (23) and stolen bases (10).
She also had 34 hits and 10 runs batted in
during the 1999 campaign. She is expect
ed to bat cleanup, and could also spend

at first base.
some time roaming the outfield.
Sophomore Kelli Higgins is a solid
backup at first. In six games as a fresh
man she had one hit in seven at bats.
The middle infield is where the Boro
has the most flexibility with three players
possessing the ability to play either short
stop or second base. Amanda Riley, a
junior, emerged as a quality second
baseman, committing just 4 errors. She
only hit .228, but has the ability to hit the
long ball as well as beat out grounders
with her outstanding speed.
Junior Jen Patsy missed most of last
year due to an injury. In limited action she
batted .333 with three hits in nine plate
appearances. Despite last season’s injury
her range has improved and combine that
with a good glove, strong arm and quick
release and she gives Gierlak another
solid defensive player.
Lisa Blackhurst filled in at short last
year after playing a majority of her first two
seasons at second base, and did an out
standing job, earning second team AllPSAC West recognition.
Blackhurst hit
.290 with 31 hits and 15 runs batted in,
second best on the team.

She will play shortstop or second base
and has the ability to be an All-PSAC
selection at either spot.
The anchor of the infield is senior co
captain Stormy Alexander. She possess
es a strong arm, outstanding knowledge
of the game and a wealth of experience.
Alexander was an All-PSAC third baseman in 1999 and a second team AllRegion performer as a freshman. She
has been the team's number three hitter
since her freshman season. The team
captain is extremely versatile, earning AllPSAC status as a utility player and third
baseman. She hit over .300 for the third
straight year, hitting .344 with a team-best
42 hits and 16 runs batted in.
Junior Heather Geer is coming off a
knee injury that limited her to 18 games
last year. Defensively the third base
man/catcher has a strong arm and has
regained her range during the offseason.
If she hits well enough she will see plenty
of action, whether at third base, catcher or
as the designated hitter.

lineup still up in the air. Sarah Roseto is
the early favorite. She has worked hard
on the fundamentals of catching and
becoming more comfortable behind the
plate. Last year she batted .194 but
showed signs of power with four doubles.
Heather Ulmer, a sophomore transfer
from John Carroll University, is an out
standing defensive player with good arm
strength. Like Roseto, Ulmer needs to
develop with the bat. A year ago at John
Carroll she batted .185 and scored eight
runs in 29 games.
Outfield
Unlike last year, depth in the outfield is
not a luxury on this year's Edinboro softball team. Gierlak has only four full-time
outfielders on the roster, one of whom is
trying to recover from a serious knee
injury. However, the three healthy regu
lars at his disposal are solid players with
the ability to be All-PSAC players.
Co-captain Diane Trickey, a four-year
starter, with the the last three seasons in
right field, is a strong-armed, intelligent
outfielder. Trickey can bunt, drive the ball
or execute on the hit and run. Although
she batted just .178 last year, she drove in
11 runs.
Junior April Hurd struggled last season
after being named the PSAC West Rookie
of the Year in 1998. She was also an AllRegion center fielder as a freshman.
Hurd suffered the proverbial sophomore
slump, batting .233 with 13 RBIs, 16 runs
scored and a team-high 10 bases on balls
last season. As a freshman she hit .385
with a team best 17 runs batted in.
Meghan Seth, a sophomore left fielder,
is a former standout at nearby Fort
LeBoeuf High School. She is a converted
high school shortstop with a strong arm.
In her first season, she hit .240 with 10
RBIs and one home run.
The final piece of the outfield picture is
junior Jamie D'Angelo, who is recovering
from an serious knee injury. D'Angelo hit
.280 last season and her .345 on base
percentage was third on the team.

Dan Gierlak enters his eleventh season at the
helm of the Edinboro University softball program
Gierlak has enjoyed success as the coach of the
Edinboro softball program. He guided the Boro to the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference playoffs in
1990 and led the Scots to a 21-10 overall record in
1994. Last season, the team posted a 20-22-1 record,
the third 20-win season under Gierlak.
Gierlak began his coaching career in football
before concentrating on softball. He coached the softball team from 1989-94, then after a one-year hiatus
in 1995 to concentrate solely on his duties as an
assistant on former head coach Tom Hollman’s foot
ball staff, he returned in 1996.
After graduating from Edinboro in 1983, Gierlak
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 alma
mater in 1986, serving as an assistant football coach at the Boro for nine seasons.
He was responsible for the recruitment and coaching of eight Fighting Scot AllAmericans, including 1989 Harlon Hill Finalist Elbert Cole and Jeremy O’Day, a 1996
first-team All-PSAC offensive lineman and a member of the 1998 CFL 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 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, Daniel Jr. (Joey) and Lauren. Amy
is also a former Nancy Acker Award winner, recognized as the top senior female ath
lete at Edinboro in 1989.

Last year’s late season charge and
third place finish in the PSAC West, com
bined with a returning nucleus of key play
ers, has coach Dan Gierlak and the
Edinboro softball team eager to get back
on the playing field.
"This team has great potential,” noted
Gierlak. “There is a good mixture of vet
eran leadership and young talent on this
team. We are definitely excited about this
year."
As usual the Fighting Scots will open
the season by playing some of the stiffest
competition in the country. Within the first
week of the 2000 campaign the Boro
faces NCAA Division II Regional qualifier
C.W. Post and Coker College, which fin
ished 7th in Division II last year.
"We play against some great competi
tion,” said the 10-year veteran. “The
tough schedule helps us when we get into
conference play.”
Unfortunately, when conference play
arrives the schedule doesn't get any easi
er for the Scots. Two-time National
Champion and perennial Division II power
California(Pa.) and lndiana(Pa.), the two
teams that finished ahead of the Scots in
the PSAC West last year, are not the only
PSAC teams that pose a threat.
"The PSAC has gotten better each year
since I arrived at Edinboro. We have to
show up to play every game because
there is not a weak team in the league or
on our schedule," said Gierlak.
This year's success will depend on the
team's offensive production. "We need to
do some things like bunt and run to jump
start the offense," stressed Gierlak. "We
have the ability to be an outstanding hit
ting team, it is just a matter of getting
everyone hitting at the same time."
Last year, the Scots scored three runs
or fewer in 27 games, compiling an 8-181 record. Edinboro averaged just 3.44
runs per game. "With our pitching we
don't need to score a lot of runs we just
need to be consistent," Gierlak added.
The Boro was 6-7 in one run games and
10-8 in games decided by two runs or
fewer during the 1999 campaign.
The 2000 version of Edinboro softball
has all the elements of a winning team
with solid veteran pitching as well as a
defense that committed just 66 errors in
43 games. "We have good gloves and
strong arms all around," commented
Gierlak. "The kids have worked hard and
we have some three and four-year
starters that understand what I expect and
how to push themselves. We won 10 out
of 16 down the stretch last year so they
also know what it takes to win games."
Pitching
Senior Suzanne Nimelli, a two-time AllPSAC second team selection, is part of
Edinboro’s dynamic pitching duo.
Page 4
Two-time All-PSAC second team per
formers Brianne Taylor and Suzanne
Nimelli anchor the pitching staff.
Sophomore Tiffany Miller and freshman
Kelly Griffith will also be looked upon to
provide some innings.
"Our pitching is outstanding. The better
Nimelli and Taylor throw the better we will
be," stated Gierlak.
A year ago the Edinboro pitching staff
allowed just 2.54 earned runs per game,
tossing nine shutouts while holding the
opposition to a .222 batting average.
"No team in the league has a better pair
Edinboro University Softbaii 2000
SBSTS mu TS suits ss ms SSSSiSS
of pitchers,” Gierlak boasted.
“They
understand how to pitch and are the main
strength of our team. They are the best
pair of pitchers I have seen in my tenure
at Edinboro.”
Taylor, a junior, made 25 appearances,
completing 19 of her 20 starts. She post
ed an 11-10 record, leading the Scots in
wins and innings pitched with 139.2. In
addition, Taylor registered 127 strikeouts,
while only allowing 38 walks. She also
tossed 4 shutouts.
Nimelli, a senior, finished 9-10 with 132
strikeouts in 134.2 innings of work. Her
6.86 strikeouts per seven innings ranked
second in the PSAC last season. In 23
appearances she recorded 15 complete
games, fired 4 shutouts and allowed only
37 free passes.
Gierlak believes Griffith has the poten
tial to be better than Taylor and Nimelli.
Unlike Taylor and Nimelli, who were
thrown to the wolves as freshmen, the for
mer first team All-New York State per
former will have time to develop. Griffith
already has good movement on all her
pitches and a great knuckleball.
Miller, a freshman, has worked hard on
becoming more consistent in her delivery.
She will be a role player this season but
has already improved greatly from fall to
spring.
Infieid
Depth and versatility are two words that
can be used to describe the Fighting Scot
infield. A year ago injuries gave players
the opportunity to learn and develop at
other positions. As a result, six of the
seven members of this year's infield have
the ability to play multiple positions.
Brandy Henderson, a second team AllPSAC performer as a freshman, solidified
her spot at first base with last season’s
performance. She batted .306 in her first
season with team-highs in doubles (6),
runs scored (23) and stolen bases (10).
She also had 34 hits and 10 runs batted in
during the 1999 campaign. She is expect
ed to bat cleanup, and could also spend

Sophomore Brandy Henderson hit .306

She also led the team with 254 putouts
at first base.
some time roaming the outfield.
Sophomore Kelli Higgins is a solid
backup at first. In six games as a fresh
man she had one hit in seven at bats.
The middle infield is where the Boro
has the most flexibility with three players
possessing the ability to play either short
stop or second base. Amanda Riley, a
junior, emerged as a quality second
baseman, committing just 4 errors. She
only hit .228, but has the ability to hit the
long ball as well as beat out grounders
with her outstanding speed.
Junior Jen Patsy missed most of last
year due to an injury. In limited action she
batted .333 with three hits in nine plate
appearances. Despite last season’s injury
her range has improved and combine that
with a good glove, strong arm and quick
release and she gives Gierlak another
solid defensive player.
Lisa Blackhurst filled in at short last
year after playing a majority of her first two
seasons at second base, and did an out
standing job, earning second team AllPSAC West recognition.
Blackhurst hit
.290 with 31 hits and 15 runs batted in,
second best on the team.

She will play shortstop or second base
and has the ability to be an All-PSAC
selection at either spot.
The anchor of the infield is senior co
captain Stormy Alexander. She possess
es a strong arm, outstanding knowledge
of the game and a wealth of experience.
Alexander was an All-PSAC third baseman in 1999 and a second team AllRegion performer as a freshman. She
has been the team's number three hitter
since her freshman season. The team
captain is extremely versatile, earning AllPSAC status as a utility player and third
baseman. She hit over .300 for the third
straight year, hitting .344 with a team-best
42 hits and 16 runs batted in.
Junior Heather Geer is coming off a
knee injury that limited her to 18 games
last year. Defensively the third base
man/catcher has a strong arm and has
regained her range during the offseason.
If she hits well enough she will see plenty
of action, whether at third base, catcher or
as the designated hitter.
Catcher is the one position in Gierlak's

lineup still up in the air. Sarah Roseto is
the early favorite. She has worked hard
on the fundamentals of catching and
becoming more comfortable behind the
plate. Last year she batted .194 but
showed signs of power with four doubles.
Heather Ulmer, a sophomore transfer
from John Carroll University, is an out
standing defensive player with good arm
strength. Like Roseto, Ulmer needs to
develop with the bat. A year ago at John
Carroll she batted .185 and scored eight
runs in 29 games.
Outfield
Unlike last year, depth in the outfield is
not a luxury on this year's Edinboro softball team. Gierlak has only four full-time
outfielders on the roster, one of whom is
trying to recover from a serious knee
injury. However, the three healthy regu
lars at his disposal are solid players with
the ability to be All-PSAC players.
Co-captain Diane Trickey, a four-year
starter, with the the last three seasons in
right field, is a strong-armed, intelligent
outfielder. Trickey can bunt, drive the ball
or execute on the hit and run. Although
she batted just .178 last year, she drove in
11 runs.
Junior April Hurd struggled last season
after being named the PSAC West Rookie
of the Year in 1998. She was also an AllRegion center fielder as a freshman.
Hurd suffered the proverbial sophomore
slump, batting .233 with 13 RBIs, 16 runs
scored and a team-high 10 bases on balls
last season. As a freshman she hit .385
with a team best 17 runs batted in.
Meghan Seth, a sophomore left fielder,
is a former standout at nearby Fort
LeBoeuf High School. She is a converted
high school shortstop with a strong arm.
In her first season, she hit .240 with 10
RBIs and one home run.
The final piece of the outfield picture is
junior Jamie D'Angelo, who is recovering
from an serious knee injury. D'Angelo hit
.280 last season and her .345 on base
percentage was third on the team.
