HEAD COACH ROBIN PETRINI 2005... Penn State compiled its sixth 30-win season in the past seven when it finished the year 36-23, two wins shy of matching the 1 then-program record for victories. e Lions made both Big Tens 50 and NCAAs, winning a pair of games at the NCAA Region 5 Tour100 nament. Freshman utility player Ashley Esparza exploded onto the 150 scene, batting .402 for the year and earning NFCA third team All200 America. Redshirt-junior Missy Beseres broke the school’s single season strikeout mark by fanning a record 260 batters. A third team 250 selection, she joined Esparza, who was named first team, on the All300 Big Ten squad. Four Lions were named All-Region, with Esparza 350 and classmate Hollee Haines garnering first team and freshman Jen 400 Acunto and Beseres earning second team recognition.

2006... e 2006 season brough the Nittany Lions their highest win total in program history (39) and saw Penn State earn its sixth NCAA appearance in the past seven years. e Lions posted a 39-17 record, made their seventh Big Ten Tournament appearance, and won two games during the NCAA Tournament en route to the recordbreaking year. Sophomore Jen Reynolds was named first team All-Big Ten as a utility player and five Lions total received all-conference accolades. ree members of the Penn State team were also named to the 2006 Great Lakes All-Region team including sophomore utility player Ashley Esparza, who got a first-team nod for the second consecutive season. Red-shirt senior pitcher Missy Beseres and sophomore shortstop Jen Acunto repeated as second-team all-region selections. Beseres also became the first Nittany Lion drafted to the NPFL when she was selected in the fourth round by the Chicago Bandits.

2007... In a year wrought with injuries and what seemed like the curse of Mother Nature on the conference season, Penn State still rose to the occasion and earned a spot in both the Big Ten and NCAA Tournaments. Sophomore Danielle Kinley cemented her place in Nittany Lion history by becoming the third Penn Stater to earned All-America honors overall and the second in three years. e outfielder’s .375 at the plate and command of centerfield for the Nittany Lions grabbed her second team honors. Kinley and junior pitcher/first baseman Ashley Esparza earned All-Conference honors, with both landing on the third team.

2008... An increase in playing time allowed the Nittany Lions to gain more experience before heading into Big Ten play and helped them amass a 30-win season for the eighth time in the past 10 years. Once again, inclement weather canceled two crucial games and this time it caused Penn State to just miss the cut to the Big Ten Tournament. Despite the outcome, senior pitcher Ashley Esparza earned her third all-conference honor, and 10 Nittany Lions earned Academic All-Big Ten accolades.

2009... e Nittany Lions endured one of the toughest schedules in the program’s history, which included games against eventual NCAA champion Washington, Women’s College World Series qualifier Michigan as well as Super Regional participants Ohio State, among others. Ashley Griffith and Lisa Akamine each earned their first All-Big Ten honors.

2010... e Nittany Lions saw a return to its winning ways in 2010 behind a young team that featured six underclassmen as everyday starters during a 29-22 campaign. Penn State rattled off a six-game winning streak in February before an 8-3 Spring Break trip to Florida that saw the Nittany Lions capture the USF Under Armour Showcase crown and leave PSU at 17-7. PSU fell short one game of capturing 3

Petrini’s ninth 30-win season when rain halted the season finale at Indiana, but there were plenty of positives to take away from the season. Namely, the emergance of Cassidy Bell as PSU’s most potent offensive threat (.329, 55 hits, 21 RBI) and Jackie Hill’s impressive pitching performance (14-14, 2.35 ERA), which included 211 strikeouts, third-most in a PSU season. Utility player Lisa Akamine garnered her second All-Big Ten honor with an all-around campaign that saw her pitch career best numbers (15 wins, 12 CG, 162K) and put together solid numbers at the plate.

Before Penn State Before Penn State, Petrini spent eight seasons at Northwestern University.

Named associate head coach in 1995-96, Petrini served as an assistant coach for the Wildcats from 1988-95. e primary Northwestern recruiter, she was instrumental in assembling the 1997 class, regarded as one of the top-two in the nation.

During Petrini's appointment, Northwestern produced 12 All-Big Ten selections, as well as an All-American and several GTE Academic All-Americans. e Wildcats compiled 30-win seasons in four of her last five years, and finished fourth or better in the conference race five times during her eight seasons.

"I am a firm believer in the student-athlete concept," confided Petrini. "I am committed to making sure that our athletes are given the opportunity to be successful academically and athletically. I believe our athletes have the opportunity to get a quality education and play some of the finest softball in the country."

She continues that excellence with her Penn State teams, as well. While in Happy Valley, she has produced 33 All-Big Ten performers, 94 academic allconference, 16 Academic All-District honorees, six overall Academic All-Americans, multiple National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Americans as well as three Academic All-American First Teamers including current assistant coach Jen McIntyre.

Prior to her position at Northwestern, Petrini spent five years at Brigham Young University, where she received her master's degree in physical education. After one season as the Cougars' assistant coach, she was promoted to head coach.

Working without the aid of scholarships, she developed a nationally competitive program that beat a pair of top 20 teams in 1988.

A native of South San Francisco, Calif., Petrini is a 1983 graduate of Utah State University with bachelor's degrees in political science and physical education. She enjoyed a successful playing career as a four-year letterwinner and starting shortstop for the Aggies' 1980 and 1981 AIAW national championship squads. A three-time all-conference selection, she was also an All-America nominee. In the summer of 2003, she was inducted into the San Mateo County Sports Hall of Fame, which also includes the likes of Tom Brady and John Madden.

Prior to returning to her alma mater, McIntyre spent the 2000 and 2001 season at Big Ten foe Indiana as the second assistant coach. During her time in Bloomington, three players were named to the All-Big Ten team.

The past decade has seen an unprecedented series of runs to the NCAA Tournament in Penn State softball history. Since 2000, the Nittany Lions have made seven appearances, all of which came in an eight-year span (2000-07). Four times in that span the Lions had the opportunity to reach the Super Regionals with a pair of wins in the Regional Finals, but fell short.

Prior to 2000, the Lions reached the NCAA Tournament twice as a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference. In the second-ever NCAA Tournament, Penn State Lousiana Tech in a regional with the winner earning the right to play in the 1983 Women’s College World Series. The Lady Techsters swept the Lions, a similar fate Penn State would face against perennial power Adelphi in 1985, dropping a pair of 2-0 games.

The Nittany Lions have posted back-to-back NCAA Tournament wins on three separate occasions–2001 vs. Cornell and Southern Miss; 2002 vs. Boston University and Princeton; 2006 vs. Long Island and at Hofstra.

Head coach Robin Petrini has guided Penn State to seven NCAA Tournament appearances garnering a 10-14 record in the process.
