4 11 13 142007 Season OutlookThe Big Red enters its 14th season of play looking to regain the

Ivy League title, which it claimed for the third time in 2004. The2006 season saw two seniors play their final games in a Big Reduniform, as well as losing a junior to graduation. A four-memberfreshmen class got its first taste of Ivy League competition, seeingconsiderable playing time at the plate and in the field. With an 11-3 record, the Big Red finished in second place among the AncientEight, only one game behind Princeton.

Seniors Lauren Battaglia and Sarah Ruben lead Cornell softballinto the 2007 season. The duo experienced an Ivy championshipin 2004 as freshmen, but the trophy has eluded the pair the last twoseasons. The Big Red finished one game short of grabbing the titleeach of the last two years (10-4, 11-3). Two-thirds of the pitchingstaff returns along with talented veterans from the classes of ’08 and’09. The 2010 class includes nine new faces who will challenge forplaying time. To maintain momentum, Cornell will follow the solidtraditions of hard work and commitment established by previousBig Red softball squads.

The Big Red lost 2006 captains Whitney Smith and CaitlinWarren to graduation. The pair represented the university withclass and distinction. This season’s captains, Battaglia ‘07 andSamantha Hare ’08, have their hands full with a young team, butunderstand the importance of team chemistry and discipline. Thenewcomers have demonstrated speed and power along with de-fensive versatility. The team looks forward to a season where it can

improve the depth of its lineup.

Head coach Dick Blood returns for his 12th season at the helmof the Big Red. In his 11 seasons, Blood has amassed a record of 361-

171-1, including an Ivy League mark of 94-50. Blood will be joinedin the dugout for the fifth season by Julie Platt Farlow ’97, whosecareer batting average of .375 was tops in Cornell history untilLauren May surpassed her in 2005. Platt’s mark stood for eightseasons after her graduation. Added to the coaching staff thisseason is Erin Kizer ’05, a former Big Red infielder. Also back for hisfourth year with Blood is volunteer assistant coach Bill Butler.

The Big Red returns 12 veterans who will join the nine freshmen.The rookies join the team bringing vast experience and will look towork their way into the lineup. Cornell returns all three of its startingoutfielders that, add speed and agility, to combine both offensivelyand defensively. The Big Red will experiment in the infield early inthe season to find its best fit. A time could arise where there maybe an all-freshman infield.

Pitchers

The Big Red will return two pitchers this season and will add twofreshmen. Junior Jenn Meunier and sophomore Haley Mirrer com-bined for 26 wins last season. The duo returns to the hill afteraveraging nearly 14 strikeouts per doubleheader. The two com-bined to place second in almost all stat categories in the league.Meunier (2.08 ERA) pitched 171.2 innings for the Big Red and ledthe Ivy League in wins. Mirrer totaled 101.2 innings with a 2.89 ERA.Pitching late into the game before giving way to the bullpen, if atall, will be key for Big Red starters this year. Meunier completed 14games last season, while Mirrer had nine. Both players throw hardand field their position well. Freshman shortstop, Izzy Pines, andclassmate first baseman, Dana Robbins, will pitch-in when needed.

2007 OUTLOOK2007 OUTLOOK

Catchers

Catching for the Big Red will be seniors Sarah Ruben and LaurenBattaglia, sophomore Nicole Cheever and freshman VanessaLeonhard. Ruben and Cheever notched the majority of the inningsfor the Big Red last year, but Leonhard has shown defensive promiseand will bid for innings behind the dish. Battaglia and Ashley Garveymight move over to the first sack for the majority of their innings.Freshman Abby Marlow of the Anchorage Artic Heat will add depthto the catching corps. Caitlin Hutchinson of the Long Island BP AllStars can also lend her catching experience. The Big Red will lookfor improvement offensively from those spending time behind theplate. Cornell will be defensively sound with Ruben and Cheeverleading the team with their fielding percentage. With 179 totalchances last season, Ruben boasts a perfect fielding percentage.Cheever was second at .986.

Infield

The Big Red infield will take on a new look this season. Startingpositions will be up for grabs by veterans and freshmen alike. Firstbase is typically a place reserved for big hitters. Several players mayshare this important position this season. A steady and reliableglove is critical, but a hot bat may determine the mainstay.Battaglia, Garvey, Leonhard, Robbins and Adrienne Matta willbattle for time.

Second base will be manned by freshmen in 2007. AlysonIntihar, Devon March, Izzy Pines and Caitlin Hutchinson should allsee time at the Keystone Corner. These young and talented middleinfielders bring welcome depth to CU’s diamond. Intihar loggedinnings at second base for the Pittsburgh Spirit, March for the NYChallenge, Pines for the AZ Lil’ Saints and Hutchinson for the LongIsland BP All Stars.

Hare played over 50 games at shortstop last year. The 2007 co-captain hit .262 with 43 hits. Her smooth fielding mechanics andexperience bring stability to a very young infield. The junior fromWatchung Hills HS will be backed up by classmate Liz Larkin and ahost of freshmen. Larkin is a solid defender with a long-range arm.

Warren handled the chores at the hot corner last season. A four-year starter, she will be tough to replace. The Big Red will attemptto fill the vacancy with a youth movement. Menaker and Hutchinsonare primarily third basemen with a great deal of travelball teamexposure. The middle infield corps may shift to fill the void as well.

Outfield

Outfield and designated hitter responsibilities will be shared byseveral ladies, but key veteran starters look to continue their solidoffensive and defensive numbers. Two-time first team All-Ivymember, Jenna Campagnolo, returns to roam the vast spaces ofcenterfield . The 2006 batting champ, Ashley Wolf (.411), bringstwo varsity campaigns back to rightfield, while reigning Ivy League

home run champ, sophomore Meg Risica, returns to leftfield.

Sophomore Jessy Berkey saw valuable time in rightfield duringlast season. The left-handed hitting slugger started 45 games andhit .323, good for second on the team. Because of their speed, Pines,March, Intihar and Leonhard will help out with outfield duties. Harestarted in rightfield as a freshman and, if called upon, is a reliabledefender. The Big Red’s outfielders add great offensive abilities.Risica and Berkey combined for 14 home runs last season, and theduo of Wolf and Campagnolo stole a total of 13 bases. Senior Sarah RubenSenior Sarah Ruben

The Schedule

The Big Red has another full schedule in 2007, with 54 gameson tap. The season kicks off with a second appearance at the GeorgeMason Classic in Fairfax, Va., on March 3-4, where it will faceNiagara, Central Connecticut, and George Mason. Just five dayslater, the Big Red will be in Virginia Beach, Va., for the Spartan Classicon March 9-11. Matchups with Norfolk State, Delaware,Binghamton, Marist, and Niagara await the Big Red there. Cornellwill then take its annual spring trip to Florida, where it will participatein the Stetson Invitational and Stetson Classic in DeLand, Fla., andthe Rebel Games in Kissimmee, Fla. After returning from the tripsouth, the Big Red will kick off its Ivy slate on the road at Yale andBrown. Next up will be a doubleheader against Siena for the homeopener before Cornell hosts Dartmouth and Harvard on Easterweekend. The Big Red will be looking to unseat the 2006 Ivy winnerPrinceton and hold off the rest of the field to regain the Ivy title.

There will be a new Ivy format in place in 2007 that mirrors theAncient Eight baseball schedule. The field will be broken down intotwo divisions, North and South. Replacing the old 14-game slate,will be a 20-game format with a season ending North vs. Souththree-game series for the NCAA bid. Cornell plays in the Southdivision with Columbia, Penn, and Princeton.

Cornell University/Realizing a Bold DreamCornell University/Realizing a Bold DreamIn the mid 1800s, two New York state senators, Ezra Cornell

and Andrew Dickson White, shared the bold dream offounding a “truly great university.” Cornell, a plain-spokeninventor, wanted “an institution where any person can findinstruction in any study,” including the mechanical arts andagriculture. White, a scholarly graduate of Oxford and Yale,yearned to establish a university where “truth shall be taughtfor truth’s sake” in the arts and sciences. Together theycreated a nonsectarian university that was the first in theeastern United States to admit women and that pioneeredthe concept of elective courses. Their egalitarian vision andinnovative ideas, which set Cornell apart at its opening in1868, continue to guide the university today.

Cornell includes 13 colleges and schools. Onthe Ithaca campus are the seven undergraduateunits—the College of Agriculture and Life Sci-ences; the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning;the College of Arts and Sciences; the College of Engineering;the School of Hotel Administration; the College of HumanEcology; and the School of Industrial and Labor Rela-tions—as well as fourgraduate and profes-sional units: the Gradu-ate School, the LawSchool, the JohnsonGraduate School ofManagement, and theCollege of VeterinaryMedicine. (The WeillMedical College and theWeill Graduate School ofMedical Sciences are inNew York City.) An IvyLeague university that isalso the land grant institution of New York State, Cornell isa unique combination of public and private divisionscommitted to teaching, research, and public service.

Cornell’s 13,700 undergraduates and 6,000 graduateand professional students come from all 50 states and

“I would found an institution where any personcan find instruction in any study.”

EZRA CORNELL

Today Cornell’s undergrads come from all 50 U.S. states

and 120 countries. They come from cities, suburbs and

rural areas, close to where you grew up or halfway around

the globe. They come in all colors, sizes, shapes and per-

suasions — religious, political, sexual, philosophical.

Gifted students — musicians, inventors, athletes, artists,

actors, poets, farmers; rising doctors, lawyers, professors,

scientistsm engineers, financiers, apparel designers, sys-

tems analysts, political activistsm labor organizers — who

work hard. They are outstanding achievers, creative think-

ers, dreamers, movers and shakers.

more than 100 countries. Inter-disciplinary study and researchare Cornell hallmarks, as is at-tention to undergraduate edu-cation. The university’s 2,200faculty members are activeteachers as well as research-ers—Nobel laureates often con-duct introductory courses—andthe lines of traditional disciplinesare easily crossed. Engineeringstudents dabble in photogra-

phy; theatre arts students explore theworld of computers; physics majors learnlandscape architecture.

National Science Foundation studieson programs in research and develop-ment at U.S. universities consistentlyrank Cornell among the top 10 or 11in total research and developmentexpenditures, and in federallyfinanced expenditures.Cornell ranks second

among U.S. universities infunds allocated by the National Sci-

The Ivy LeagueThe Ivy LeagueThe Ivy League is truly one of a kind.While the 2006-07 academic year marks the

50th season of official Ivy League athletic compe-tition, the rivalries and traditions in the League goso much deeper. The first official athletic compe-tition between League schools was more than 150years ago (1852, Harvard-Yale rowing) and the firstfootball game was more than 130 years ago (1872,Columbia-Yale).

In the early days, the Ivy schools dominatedcollege athletics. All-America status, Olympicmedals and national championships were rou-tinely earned by students from the AncientEight.

Today, Ivy Leaguers continue to claim nationaltitles and Olympic medals — as well as All-America and Academic All-America status. Hun-dreds continue athletic careers as professionalsand hundreds more as coaches and athletic ad-ministrators. The student-athletes also areamong the nation’s leading public servants,doctors, journalists, lawyers, scientists, scholars,business leaders, entertainers, educators and somuch more.

The success of the League comes withoutathletic scholarships while maintaining self-im-posed high academic standards. The Ivy Leaguehas demonstrated a rare willingness and ability,given the pressures on intercollegiate successthroughout the nation, to abide by these rulesand still compete successfully in Division I ath-letics.

Sponsoring conference championships in 33men’s and women’s sports, and averaging morethan 35 varsity teams at each school, the IvyLeague provides intercollegiate athletic oppor-tunities for more men and women than any otherconference in the country. All eight Ivy schoolsare among the “top 20” of NCAA Division Ischools in number of sports offered for both menand women.

The term “Ivy colleges” was first in October,1933 by Stanley Woodward of the New York Her-ald Tribune to describe the eight current Ivyschools (plus Army). On Feb. 8, 1935, AssociatedPress sports editor Alan Gould first used the exactterm “Ivy League.”

The first “Ivy Group Agreement,” signed in1945, applied only to football. It affirmed the ob-servance of common practices in academic stan-dards and eligibility requirements and the admin-istration of need-based financial aid, with no ath-letic scholarships. The agreement created the Presi-dents Policy Committee, including the eight Presi-dents; the Coordination and Eligibility Commit-tee, made up of one senior non-athletic adminis-trator from each school; and the committee onAdministration, comprised of the eight directorsof athletics.

The Ivy Presidents extended the Ivy GroupAgreement to all intercollegiate sports in Feb-ruary 1954. Their statement also focused on

During these seasons, the Pirates par-ticipated in two bowl games (1992 Peach Bowland 1995 Liberty Bowl), qualified for theNCAA baseball regional tournament (1994)and played in the NCAA basketball tourna-ment (1993).

Howley was a graduate assistant strengthand conditioning coach at Auburn Universityfrom 1989-91, where he earned his master’sdegree in exercise physiology. The Tigerswere the 1989 Southeastern Conference co-champions, the 1990 Hall of Fame Bowl andthe 1991 Peach Bowl champions. Howley alsoserved as an assistant coach with the specialteams.

The Friedman CenterThe Friedman CenterChampions are crowned

during the season, but cham-pionships are earned longbefore competition begins.Cornell’s 900 varsity athleteshave exclusive access to oneof the newest and best train-ing facilities in the nation—the 8,000-square-foot Fried-man Strength and Condi-tioning Center. Completed in June 1997, this impressive $2 millionaddition to Bartels Hall reflects the university’s strong commitment toathletic excellence. Coaches and team members alike credit the center,its world-class equipment, and first-rate staff with adding immensely tothe success of the Big Red athletic program.

The Friedman Center contains free-weight, selectorized, plyometric,and cardiovascular equipment and has been designed to meet thediverse training needs of Cornell’s athletes. The center can accommo-date up to 100 users at a time without compromising safety or function.Its unique features include air-conditioning, a 175-watt stereo system,and damage-resistant flooring.

Cornell’s varsity strength and conditioning program—nicknamed“Big Red Power”—focuses on enhancing performance and preventinginjury. The new facility and equipment enable the staff to prescribeyear-round sport-specific programs with variety and precision.

Before the training programs are designed, the muscular andmetabolic needs for each sport—and for each position within thesport—are analyzed. Athletes are then assessed to identify theirindividual strengths and weaknesses, and follow-up assessments areconducted at regular intervals. Comprehensive workouts are pre-scribed to address deficiencies and promote the development of skillsused during competition.

Injury prevention also is emphasized. Through resistance training,the number and the severity of injuries are reduced. If an injury doesoccur, the strength and conditioning staff works closely with the sportsmedicine staff to ensure asafe and complete rehabilita-tion. The objective is to allowthe athlete to resume full par-ticipation as soon as possible.

Set against a backdrop of the natural beauty of Cayuga Lake and the surrounding hills, an extensive array of facilitiesprovides a tremendous environment for practice and competition for Cornell’s varsity teams. Schoellkopf Field and itsdistinctive crescent-shaped stadium may be Cornell’s most familiar sports venue, but since the mid-’90s, a number of newfacilities have become landmarks as well. The Friedman Strength and Conditioning Center, a state-of-the-art facilitydedicated to the support and improvement of athletes’ performances, is a place where all teams gather to train. The KaneSports Complex, with its Berman Field for soccer and the Simon Track, and the Niemand•Robison Softball Field are alsoimpressive facilities. The Reis Tennis Center, the Belkin Squash Courts, and the Oxley Equestrian Center, home of theequestrian and polo teams, are part of an expanding complex that will include new homes for other teams as Cornellcontinues to realize its plan for renovation and building of athletic facilities.

Spacious and historic Barton Hall is home to the indoor track and field teams. The volleyball and basketball teams competein Bartels Hall’s 4,473-seat Newman Arena and the fencing team’s home, the Stifel Fencing Salle, is located on the lowerlevel of the facility. Adjacent to Bartels Hall is famed Lynah Rink, where the Big Red hockey teams perform before selloutcrowds for most home games. Lynah Rink is currently undergoing a facelift, and is expected to be ready for the 2006-07season. The Friedman Wrestling Center, opened in 2002, is located to the north of Bartels. The gymnastics and swimmingteams are housed in Teagle Hall, where Cornell crews also train during the winter months. Just down the hill from campusare the Collyer Boat House and the Doris Robison Shell House, which are scheduled for renovation and expansion.
