1989-94, then after a one-year hiatus in 1995
to focus solely on his duties as an assistant on
former head coach Tom Hollman’s football
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
Edinboro for nine seasons. He was responsi­
ble 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 All-PS AC offensive
lineman 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 (11), Daniel Jr. (Joey) (8) and Lauren
(4). Amy is a former Nancy Acker Award
winner, recognized as the top senior female
athlete at Edinboro in 1989. She serves as the
women’s golf coach at Gannon University.

___________2004 Preview__________
Solid Defense, Inexperienced Pitcliing Shape Campaign
The consensus is that winners are built
on pitching and defense. If that is the case,
Edinboro University softball coach Dan
Gierlak feels his 2004 edition has fifty per­
cent of the equation, but he’s not so sure
about the other half.
“Defensively, we’re looking basically at
kids who have started two and three years in
the field,’’ related Gierlak. “They understand
what it takes. We have seven kids in their
third year as starters. In that apect the kids
have come a long way. I think that will be
the strength, the kids knowing each other
and the defense.’’
A year ago Edinboro finished with a
16-22 record, and pitching was a big part of
the success the team enjoyed. However, this
year’s staff is filled with youth and uncer­
tainty, but Gierlak likes their potential.
“You’ve got two sophomores,” com­
mented Gierlak. “Kim Fleissner threw a
'one-hitter against Mercyhurst, but struggled
at times. She has the most experience.
“Samantha Krupp was sick last year
and saw virtually no time at all. Then there
are two freshmen. I think the two freshmen
pitchers can be pretty good. All four can be
good, but they’re not tested in game situa­
tions. They have to mature.”
The third ingredient of note is hitting.
After hitting just .222 as a team a year ago
and averaged 2.5 runs per game, Gierlak
feels the experience will lead to more quality
at bats, and ultimately, more runs.
“I think we have a couple hitters who
are pretty good,” Gierlak assessed. “We
have more speed than we’ve had in the past.
The kids have had a lot of at bats.
“We’re going to run to death with Tara
Frantz and Courtney Shewak. With the
pitchers being so young, I think we have to
score some runs. We have to manufacture
runs.”
Despite the youthful pitching, Gierlak
has once again assembled an imposing
schedule. The slate includes games during
the team’s southern swing against Coker and
Fayetteville State. The Fighting Scots will
also play in the Methodist Early Bird
Tournament and the Francis Marion
Invitational, then when they come back

north will participate in the Mid East
Challenge. The Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference figures to be strong again with
the likes of Califomia(Pa.), Lock Haven and
Indiana(Pa.). Finally, the Scots will play
local rivals Gnnon and Mercyhurst.

PITCHERS
With two sophomores and two fresh­
men comprising the pitching staff, Gierlak
can only hope that the pitchers growp up
quickly.
Kim Fleissner is the only pitcher to take
the mound for the Fighting Scots a year ago
to return. The sophomore was 3-6 with a
3.99 ERA, making nine starts. In 47 1/3
innings she gave up 63 hits and 24 walks
while striking out 24. Fleissner enjoyed her
best outing of the year in an 8-0 win over
Mercyhurst, giving up just one hit and strik­
ing out six. In her next start she allowed just
one earned run in a 4-2 win over Lock
Haven, but after that she lost her last three
decisions.
“As a freshman, Kim pitched for us in
some big games,” noted Gierlak. “She has
gotten stronger, is using her legs more, and
understands pitching more. If she stays
healthy she can be pretty good. She has
worked on location and changing speeds.
Kim throws a lot of different pitches and her
ball moves. She also throws hard.”
Sophomore Samantha Krupp pitched in
three games for a total of 5 1/3 innings on
last year’s southern trip. She posted a 10.50
ERA, missing the rest of the season due to
illness.
Gierlak feels that as Krupp develops
consistency she will become a dependable
pitcher. “Samantha can throw hard. In fact,
she’s one of the hardest throwers we have.
She was a little inconsistent last year, but she
has developed a little bit of consistency this
year. She has good movement on the ball
and is very coachable. We just couldn’t get
her healthy for more than a couple weeks at
a time last year. She can be pretty good, she
just needs experience. She has worked on
her weaknesses.”
Freshmen Kim Kurchev and Jess

2004EdinboroOniversftySoftball ♦ Pages

2004 Preview
Lindamood figure to get indoctrinated pretty
quickly. “Kim is very cool and calm on the
mound,” notes Gierlak. She throws very,
very well and hits her spots. She’s deceiv­
ingly fast because she has a knuckleball and
changeup. Kim is a good athlete who can
hit, and can play third base if needed.”
Gierlak feels that Lindamood has
already matured a great deeal since her
arrival. “Jess is deceivingly fast and has a
very smooth delivery. She has a nice screw­
ball and a pretty good drop pitch. In addi­
tion, she has a super changeup. I’m expect­
ing big things out of her. She didn’t pitch
much her senior year in high school because
of injuries. She will get better and better.”

INFIEIDERS
The infield will feature a bit of the old
and a bit of the new. The left side remains
intact with Courtney Shewak at shortstop
and and Andrea Palmieri at third base. The
right side will have a new look at first base
with slugger Holly Hutchison expected to
carry a big bat. Basil Davis saw plenty of
action at second last year, but she is in a
three-way battle for the job.

Andrea Palmieri begins her third season
as the starter at third base.

Shewak is a two-year starter who made
a smooth transition from second base to
shortstop a year ago. The lone senior on the
roster, she finished second on the team with
a .293 average with a home run and a team­
leading 15 RBIs. In addition, she led the
team with 12 stolen bases.
“I was disappointed Courtney wasn’t on
the all-conference team a year ago,” stressed
Gierlak. “She is tough at shortstop. She needs
to stay healthy but she has played hurt. The
last two years she has been our number four
hitter butr we will move her to third in the
order this year. She’s a strong player offen­
sively, has a solid glove, and is a competitor.”
Palmieri enters her third season as the
starter at third base. After hitting just .169
as a freshman, she boosted her average to
.242 with a homer and 12 RBIs while start­
ing all 38 games.
“Andrea has played a lot of games for
us,” stated Gierlak. “She’s one of our better
hitters and an extremely hard worker. In the
past she thought too much as a hitter, but she
has matured. She’s a lot stronger and has
the ability to hit the ball hard. I don’t think
there’s a better fielding third baseman in the
conference, although Cal has a good third
baseman.”
Sophomore Basil Davis started 35 games
and played in 37 a year ago, but she struggled
at the plate, hitting just .186. After hitting sec­
ond a great deal last year, Gierlak will move
her down to the bottom of the order.
“Basil has developed into a pretty good
fielder,” related Gierlak. “She forms a good
combination with Courtney. She struggled
with the bat, but she’s gotten better. She’s
made some adjustments.”
Davis looks to hold off freshmen Kristi
Diminuco and Cristin Grzegorzewski for the
second base job. Diminuco is the younger
sister of catcher Michele Diminuco, and has
the ability to play second or short.
Grzegorzewski has impressed Gierlak, and
will likely serve as a utility player seeing
action all around the infield.
“The biggest thing with Kim is learn­
ing,” commented Gierlak. “She has incredi­
ble bat speed and a knowledge of how quick
the game is. She’s probably a year away, but
will be a solid backup. She will push people
as she gets more comfortable.”

2004 Preview
“Cristin has a great work ethic,” contin­
ued Gierlak. “She has a very good swing, a
strong arm and has made great strides.”
Gierlak can’t wait to write Holly
Hutchison’s name into the linbeup in the
cleanup spot and at first base. A lefty hitter,
she played as a freshman at Geneva College,
earning all-conference and honorable men­
tion All-American honors.
“Holly is probably the best hitter I’ve
seen,” exclaimed Gierlak. “She’s exception­
al. She has a great glove, and a very strong
arm, but the biggest thing is hitting the ball.
She hits the ball hard all the time.”
Sophomores Michele Diminuco and
Amber Goetschius will share the catching
duties. Both struggled at the plate a year
ago, with Goetschius hitting .111 and
Diminuco .103.
“Michele makes up in calling a game
what she lacks in arm strength,” assessed
Gierlak. “She has done a great job with the
younger pitchers. She calls a nice game.
Hitting-wise she has really improved.
Amber has a cannon for an arm and has got­
ten a lot stronger. She has developed a lot
more bat speed.”
Freshmen Leanne Carmichael and
Allison Harned round out the infielders.
Carmichael will be a backup at first base.
She was still recovering from a torn anterior
cruciate ligament suffered as a senior in high
school, and was not cleared until mid-fall.
Harned will serve as a reserve at second.

“Jen is a lefthanded hitter who can run,”
stated Gierlak. “She developed into a good
defensive first baseman, but the outfield is a
more natural position for her.”
Juniors Jen Jones and Erin Leveille and
sophomores Katie Wratten and Lindsay
Zataweski will also see plenty of action.
Jones saw limited action last year, playing in
just 12 games, and moves from second base.
Leveille was the regular left fielder a year
ago, but may also be pressed into service at
catcher. She only hit. 156, but was second
on the team with 14 RBIs while managing
just 14 hits. After redshirting two years ago,
Wratten hit .262 while starting 34 games last
year. Zataweski hit .156 in 32 at bats.
“Jen has very good athletic ability and
has made a great adjustment from the infield
to the outfield,” commented Gierlak. “THe
more she plays, the more comfortable she’ll
be. Erin has great athletic ability and is a
very versatile player. There’s no limit with
her. Katie is one of the best athletes I’ve
ever coached. She struggled at times with
the bat last year, but has made adjustments.
As a freshman Lindsay was up and down,
but she came up big in some games. She
will push for a starting job.”

OUTFIELDERS
Junior Tara Frantz enters her third year
as the starting center fielder. She was a first
team All-PSAC West selection and also an
All-Region choice. She boosted her average
to a team-leading .303 with a team-leading
36 hits, 7 doubles and 8 stolen bases.
“Tara is a leader on the field,” Gierlak
pointed out. “:She runs extremely well and
gets a good jump on the ball. She is hitting
the ball harder and longer this year.”
The rest of the outfield is up in the air,
but Gierlak feels good about the talent.
Junior Jen Ronald will likely see plenty of
time despite hitting .216. Ronald led the
Scots with 3 triples and drove in 11 runs.
She played outfield as a freshman, then did a
solid job at first base last year.

After playing first base a year ago,
Jen Ronald moves back to the outfield.
