Bison Good Sports In 2006, the Bucknell Department of Athletics and Recreation announced its new “Bison Good Sports!” campaign, a sportsmanship awareness program designed to promote appropriate fan conduct at all Bison sporting events.

The objective of the campaign, according to Bucknell director of athletics and recreation John Hardt “is to thank fans for the tremendous energy and enthusiasm they bring to each Bucknell athletics contest while also empowering them as caretakers of the collegiate gameday experience. While the extremes of unwanted behavior and its impact on home and visiting fans are not commonplace at Bison athletics events, Bucknell and our visiting teams ask for our fans’ help in keeping their support of our teams positive and cheer with positive encouragement, rather than supporting an atmosphere of intimidation that attempts to degrade opposing players and teams. We hope that our fans will continue to join our players, coaches and staff in helping all spectators find creative and ingenious ways to positively support our Bucknell student-athletes.”

What it means to

Be a Bison

The term “student-athlete” signifies something extraordinary on the campus of Bucknell University.

Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics.

Being a Bison also means that you are a scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athletics, such as time management, leadership, teamwork and grace under pressure, are but a part of a well-rounded college experience.

At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics.

Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a student-athlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime.

Senior Maria Cioffi PL Women’s Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year

“... the pursuit of athletics in college need not interfere with a fellow’s studies, and if you give a boy a well developed body his brain will get the benefit of it.”

— Christy Mathewson, in his book Won in the Ninth, written in 1910

Athletics Mission Statement The Department of Athletics and Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher education, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values, and educational goals of Bucknell University.

The Department believes that student-athletes’ academic programs must be their first priority. It is therefore committed to maintaining Bucknell’s high national ranking for student-athletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to continued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on grade-point averages. The coaches’ and staff’s paramount responsibility is maintaining academic priorities and supporting student-athletes’ education, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic opportunities Bucknell student-athletes seek.

Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, development, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebrating challenge and competition; and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff, as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relationships with Bucknell.

The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramural level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competition maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell.

A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to providing equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. The Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the NCAA. The department is proud that so many of today’s exemplary Bison scholar-athletes will be tomorrow’s outstanding leaders.

BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

Training Bison Student-Athletes to Become Effective Leaders in Academics, in Athletics, and in Life

Competitive sports at Bucknell dates back to 1870, and more than a century later Bucknell has established itself as a national leader in providing successful academic and athletic opportunities for student-athletes. Today, the Department of Athletics & Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence among all intercollegiate programs by maintaining academic priorities and supporting educational and personal development, all while providing the rigorous and competitive Division I athletics opportunity sought by Bucknell student-athletes.

As Bison Athletics seeks to create a comprehensive learning environment that meshes with the academic mission of the University, an important element of the complete student-athlete experience is participation in an elite leadership development program designed to identify, develop, challenge and support student-athletes and coaches in their continual quest to become leaders in academics, in athletics and in life.

This is the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM • In the summer of 2011 the Bucknell Department of Athletics & Recreation implemented a formal leadership development program.

• Initial workshops were facilitated by the Janssen Sports Leadership Center.

• As part of a Patriot League-wide leadership initiative, the program is designed to help studentathletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields.

• Initially, a group of 60 student-athletes were identified as members. These workshops for both student-athletes and their coaches have set the stage for ongoing programming that will encompass the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy.

GOALS FOR THE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY • Identify and develop high potential leaders in their sophomore or junior years • Help young best athletes become best leaders • Create strong leaders by example and set the stage for developing vocal leaders • Build a strong peer support network for aspiring leaders • Develop leaders who support and learn from current team captains/leaders • Practice leading self, their class, and below • Succession Planning — smoothly replace graduating leaders • Encourage veteran leaders to step up and be vocal leaders • Establish a solid, cooperative and ongoing partnership with the coaching staff • Teach and apply the insights and skills necessary to be a responsible and respected leader • Provide veteran leaders with ongoing coaching and support as they tackle the tough issues of team leadership • Provide veteran leaders with a solid peer network for guidance and support • Provide veteran leaders with highly marketable leadership skills for a lifetime

What they’re saying ...

“I applaud our athletics department for providing our student-athletes with this exciting program.

We are confident the young men and women participating will take full advantage of all that the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy has to offer.”

- Bucknell University President John Bravman “At Bucknell, our intercollegiate athletics program embraces and reflects the University’s mission, core values and educational goals. Leadership development is one of the many important opportunities that is inherent in athletics. Cultivating great leadership is of critical importance, as it not only contributes to the success of our teams, but the benefits of becoming a great leader ultimately will extend well beyond the practice and playing fields and last a lifetime.”

- Director of Athletics & Recreation John Hardt “The Patriot League believes in the motto of `today’s scholar-athletes, tomorrow’s leaders,’ and the program provides a unique platform for student-athletes to further their growth into leadership roles. We remain committed to providing student-athletes an opportunity to achieve their potential academically and athletically while preparing to become leaders and make meaningful contributions to society.”

BUCKNELL BISON ATHLETICS SETTING THE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE

Bucknell takes great pride in its commitment to excellence on and off the playing fields. From Presidents’ Cups to Academic All-Americans to graduation rates that are ranked annually in the national top-10, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class when it comes to upholding the scholar-athlete ideal.

•

•

According to federal data released by the NCAA each fall, Bucknell’s student-athlete graduation rate annually ranks in the top 10 among all Division I institutions. Bucknell has led the nation in graduation rates three times and ranked second in the most recent survey in the fall of 2015.

All 27 Bison varsity teams easily met the NCAA’s Academic Performance Rate (APR) standards once again last year. In fact, 19 programs boast perfect scores in the four-year rolling average. Bucknell received 19 NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) National Recognition Awards, the second-highest total among all Division I institutions.

•

Bucknell has claimed a league-high 139 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year since the league’s inception as an all-sports conference in 1990-91.

•

A total of 441 Bison appeared on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in 2014-15 after recording a GPA of 3.2 or better during their sport’s competition season. Among all BU student-athletes, 319 made the Dean’s List with GPAs of 3.5 or better during the spring 2015 semester.

•

In addition to the 128 Capital One Academic All-Americans produced since 1970, Bucknell has also claimed 346 Academic All-District honorees over the same span, including five in 2014-15.

•

26 of Bucknell’s 27 varsity squads posted team GPAs of 3.0 or better in the spring of 2015.

•

Bucknell has captured the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, signifying the league’s all-sports champion, 18 times in the 25-year history of the affiliation, including 14 of the last 18 years.

•

Bucknell ranks FIFTH in the nation (to Nebraska, Notre Dame, Penn State and Stanford) in total number of Capital One Academic All-America selections with 128.

•

A major element in ensuring Bucknell’s commitment to athletics excellence is the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics & Recreation Center, which opened fully in 2003. One of the finest collegiate athletics facilities of its kind, the center includes the 4,000-seat Sojka Pavilion, the Olympic class Kinney Natatorium, the Krebs Family Fitness Center and the Berger Family Weight Room. A Hall of Fame area, a display of Bucknell’s Medal of Honor recipients, an Academic All-America wall, a sports medicine suite, modern offices for coaches and staff, and locker room and classroom space are also included in the facility’s layout.

BUCKNELL BISON ATHLETICS

A NATIONAL MODEL IN PROMOTING THE SCHOLAR-ATHLETE IDEAL Bucknell Athletics is first and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national leader when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model.

At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place.

BUCKNELL BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY: In 2011-12, the Department of Athletics launched the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. This program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. The Leadership Academy features programming and instruction that bridge theory, development and real experiences in an interactive learning environment. Through this endeavor, team leaders can enhance their impact on their teammates’ and their program’s performance immediately and for years to come.

FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Bucknell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which affords them opportunities to enjoy a full range of collegiate experiences.

SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff, including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is introduced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena.

ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfitted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice. In addition, the Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips.

STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for promoting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and efforts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body. Among the programs the Bucknell SAAC has undertaken in recent years are regular volunteer trips to the Lewisburg Food Bank, and involvement with the “Orange and Blue goes Green” sustainability program.

BISON GOOD SPORTS: Now in its ninth year, Bison Good Sports is a sportsmanship awareness program designed to promote appropriate fan conduct at all Bison sporting events. Bucknell teams have some of the best fan support in the Patriot League, and we encourage all fans to enthusiastically cheer on the Orange & Blue in a positive manner.

SEASON PREVIEW

Led by one of the top players in the Patriot League and with nearly its entire starting lineup back, the Bucknell women’s tennis team is looking to bounce back during the 2016 season.

The Bison were picked to finish fifth in the Patriot League Preseason Poll, finishing with 69 points. The Bison were picked just behind Lehigh with 77 points and one spot ahead of Loyola with 64. Boston University was the unanimous choice to repeat as conference champion with 16 firstplace votes, while Army West Point was voted second and received the remaining two first-place votes.

“We have a lot of talent and we have a lot more depth than we have had in the past,” said Bucknell head coach Rebecca Helt. “We want to stay healthy, work as hard as we can every day and we want to do way better in the Patriot League. We want to get to the top where we should be.”

The Bison posted a pair of Patriot League wins with victories over Colgate and Lafayette during the regular season, before entering the conference tournament as the seventh seed last year. There they were matched up with second-seeded Boston University, which went on to win the league title.

Senior Maria Cioffi again proved to be one of, if not the best player in the Patriot League last season. She came up just short of winning the league’s Player of the Year honor, but was the only player to finish unbeaten in league play with a perfect 6-0 record. She did not have a completed match against Boston’s Johanna Hyoty, who won the Player of the Year award, but she did beat Army West Point’s Carolyn Pitman, who handed Hyoty her lone loss in league play.

Cioffi will be one of two team captains for the Bison, joining senior Stephanie Pino. Cioffi was 22-11 overall last season, including an 11-7 mark in the spring. She went 9-2 in tournaments this past fall. Cioffi and Pino were also the team’s top pair in doubles, going 9-3.They were 5-1 in the fall and 4-2 in the spring.

Both Cioffi and Pino have moved their way up the Bucknell record book during their careers. Cioffi ranks sixth in singles wins (74-31), doubles wins

(65-31) and combined wins (139-62). Pino ranks 21st in singles wins (3932), 14th in doubles wins (44-46) and 17th in combined wins (83-78).

Cioffi’s record against Patriot League opponents during her career is impressive. She is 24-6 against league opponents, including a 16-2 mark during the spring season. She has won 15 straight league dual matches dating back to her freshman season.

Sophomore Lisa Jouravleva returns after an outstanding rookie season playing at the No. 2 spot. She went 21-7 overall, including a 13-7 mark in dual competition. She also posted a winning record of 3-2 in Patriot League matches. Jouravleva stepped in to the top spot for a pair of matches, going 1-1, but was an impressive 12-6 at No. 2 singles.

Emilie Bush gave the Bison three players with a winning record in the fall and spring seasons combined, going 7-5 while playing in the fall tournaments. Michele Urbinati had a winning record of 5-4 during the spring while playing third through fifth singles.

The team lost just two seniors from a year ago, but return the top five spots of their starting lineup. The Bison also added talented freshmen in Lauren Fishbein, Mishi Papich and Danielle Gannon. The trio combined to go 12-8 in singles this past fall.

Bucknell is coming off a season in which it went 6-15 overall and 2-4 against league opponents, but an already young roster became even thinner with multiple injuries throughout the season. That has caused Helt to change the team’s mindset when it comes to strength and conditioning.

“We are trying to start the season a littler slower in terms of how hard we are working on our fitness than we have in the past,” Helt said. “We are incorporating a lot more rest days. We are going to try to build up this year rather than jumping right in, so we can try to protect against some of those nagging injuries we had last year.”

Rounding out the Bucknell roster are Madeline Melch, Allie Lane, Melissa Parks and Jorie Fox. The group combined for 41 wins last year.

COACH HELT Rebecca HELT

Head Coach

Lock Haven ’90 | 19th season At Bucknell: 187-185 Rebecca Helt is in her 19th season as head coach of the women’s tennis team, and she also serves as Bucknell’s coordinator of tennis, a position she assumed in December of 2013. She is the program’s all-time winningest coach, entering the 2016 spring season with an overall record of 187-185.

Helt also served as Bucknell’s head men’s tennis coach from 2002-13 after the operations of the Bison tennis programs were consolidated. One of the highlights of her tenure with the men’s program came during the 2012 season when she led Gregg Cohenca and Evan Zimmer to the NCAA Championships in doubles for the first time in both Bucknell and Patriot League history.

In the past 13 seasons, Helt’s women’s teams have finished in the top three in the Patriot League on nine occasions, making six consecutive appearances in the championship match from 2005 to 2010. In 2004, the Bison women appeared in the ITA National rankings for the first time in program history. They were the only Patriot League team and one of only five Northeast teams to appear in the rankings at that time. The 2005 season was also an historic one for the women, as the Bison broke the program record in wins, concluding the campaign with a 17-5 overall record.

Over the course of her impressive career, Helt has always managed to get the very best out of her players, as well as her teams.

Her student-athletes have earned two Patriot League Player of the Year awards, five Patriot League Rookie of the Year nods and 41 All-Patriot League selections, 12 on the men’s side and 29 on the women’s. In addition, six Bison have been named to the Patriot

18

League All-Academic team since its inception in 2011, and Tania Varela, Lauren Lucido, Maria Cioffi, Ira Reibeisen, Ryan Sandburg and Evan Zimmer have all won major Bucknell awards.

Helt has built a legacy of success at Bucknell, and many of her players have accomplished significant feats while under her tutelage. Nada Curcic became the first Patriot League Player of the Year in the history of the program when she won the honor in 2005, and in 2007, Ira Reibeisen became the first Bison tennis player to earn the Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year award. During the following season, Reibeisen accomplished another first, earning a third consecutive First Team All-Patriot League selection. In 2011, Lauren Lucido, one of two Bison to earn All-Patriot League honors in each year of her career, broke all three program records in one season, surpassing the wins total in singles play, doubles play and combined victories. Bucknell players swept the Patriot League Rookie of the Year awards in 2013 when Nick Bybel and Maria Cioffi received the honor. Bybel also reached another milestone in the fall of 2013, becoming the first Bison tennis player to be selected to the ITA All-American Championships. Most recently, Cioffi became the first Bucknell woman to earn Women’s Tennis Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year recognition.

Additionally, several other student-athletes who have played under Helt are multi-year All-League honorees, including Tania Varela, Bucknell’s first four-time honoree and the 2010 Patriot League Player of the Year, as well as Paulina Gamboa (2007-09), Veronica Brown (2005-06), Dumitrita Iepuras (2009-10, 2012), Nada Curcic (2004-05) and Maria Cioffi (2013-15).

A 1990 graduate of Lock Haven University, Helt earned a bachelor of arts degree in journalism while competing for the Lock Haven tennis team. In 1991, Helt earned a teaching certification from the United States Professional Tennis Registry (USPTR) and worked as a teaching pro at West Branch Racquet Club in Williamsport, Pa., and the Doylestown Racquet Club in Doylestown, Pa., before starting her coaching career at Bucknell in 1997.

Bucknell Varsity Tennis Courts

The Kenneth Langone Athletics & Recreation Center The Bucknell University Department of Athletics and Recreation prides itself on setting the standard of excellence when it comes to success both on the playing fields and in the classroom. With 18 Patriot League Presidents’ Cups in 25 years, national leadership in graduation rates in 2015, 128 Academic All-Americans since 1970 and 139 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes in 25 years, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class in terms of upholding the scholar-athlete model.

The addition of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center, one of the finest collegiate athletics and recreation venues of its kind, ensures the continuation of that success.

The facility enhances each of Bucknell’s 27 varsity programs and greatly expands the scope of its growing intramural and recreational sports offerings.

A visually appealing structure located along Moore Avenue on the “downhill” side of campus, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center was designed to reach out to all members of the campus community, including the student body, varsity student-athletes, faculty, staff and alumni.

Three primary venues lie within the facility: the Arthur D. Kinney Jr. Natatorium, the 4,000-seat Gary A. Sojka Pavilion and the Krebs Family Fitness Center. Other features include a new location for the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, a display of Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, a brand new display highlighting Bucknell’s all-time Academic All-Americans, a sports medicine and athletic training suite, classrooms, modern offices for coaches and staff and increased locker room space for varsity and recreational athletes.

The facility is named in honor of Ken Langone, a 1957 Bucknell graduate who, along with his wife Elaine, pledged $11 million toward the center’s construction. Langone was a member of the university Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1996.

One of the special qualities of the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the manner in which it supplements the pre-existing facilities. The construction surrounds Gerhard Fieldhouse and historic Davis Gymnasium, which has been restored as a competition venue for the Bison wrestling and volleyball teams, as well as intramural, recreation and other varsity practice activities.

As Bucknell continues to strive toward its mission of setting the standard of excellence in college athletics, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center becomes the centerpiece in an already impressive cache of athletics facilities that includes the 13,100-seat Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium and its newly installed FieldTurf and 8-lane track surface; the scenic Bucknell Golf Club and new indoor instructional facility; Depew Field, the home of the Bison baseball team; the Becker Field softball diamond; and Emmitt Field and Graham Field at Holmes Stadium, the new portion of the West Fields project that includes covered grandstand seats, ticket and concession areas, team rooms, a training room and a press box area for soccer, field hockey and women’s lacrosse.
