BEARD FIELD & NITTANY LION SOFTBALL PARK

A facility years in the making, state-ofthe-art and second to none. That is what Nittany Lion Softball Park and Beard Field provide to the Penn State athletic community. With numerous donations and the Penn State’s Board of Trustees’ approval, construction of the $10.2 million complex was completed in time for the 2011 season. The new facility houses the Nittany Lion softball team and allows the program to compete with the best in the country.

The complex, which broke ground on March 28, 2010, features 1,084 permanent seats with fantastic sight lines, handicapaccessible seating, concession stands, permanent bathrooms and merchandise areas for fans. On the softball side of things a brand new field with irrigation, dugouts, batting cages and tunnels, bullpens, scoreboard and a brand new lighting system make the new Nittany Lion Softball Park a collegiate softball gem.

The complex gives the team the ability to consolidate its resources into one area

with new training rooms, media center, video room, study space, locker rooms and coaches’ offices all housed at the softball park. Additionally, a new press area behind home plate was constructed, which further enhanced the amenities inside the stadium.

Key benefactors of the project allowed Nittany Lion Softball Park to take shape and get off the ground. The playing field was named Beard Field in recognition of a generous donation from Lee and William Beard in October 2009. The Penn State locker room was be named the Fran Vanden Locker Room, recognizing a gift from George and Frances Vanden. Another major donation came from the James M. and Margaret V. Stine Foundation to name both the Softball Office Complex and Media Center in honor of the Stine Family. Art and Paige Nagle also contributed to the project and had one of the assistant coaches’ offices don their names.

Penn State’s first game in its new home was Mar. 26, 2011, a thrilling 8-5 victory

PENN STATE 2012 • NITTANY LION SOFTBALL

over Wisconsin. Plenty of firsts were delivered that afternoon and none more memorable than Lisa Akamine’s inside-the-park home run as Penn State overcame a threerun deficit to win the inaugural game. For the season, Penn State boasted an 11-8-1 record on Beard Field in its first campaign. It was the first winning season at home since 2007 for the Nittany Lions, which coincided with PSU’s last trip to the NCAA Tournament before 2011.

The stadium has already paid dividends for the Nittany Lion program as Penn State hosted the 2011 NCAA Regionals. The event marked the first time PSU hosted NCAA softball in 28 years as Oregon, Fordham and Albany competed with Penn State for the right to go to the NCAA Super Regionals. In the three-day event, nearly 1,900 fans streamed through the turnstiles.

Oregon would eventually be the team that would advance, but not before an exciting 16-inning midnight thriller between Penn State and Fordam. The Nittany Lions prevailed, 5-2, in the second-longest game in PSU history.

As if the NCAA event wasn’t exciting enough, Penn State then hosted the PIAA Softball Championships. Four games in one day on a sparkling afternoon in midJune had nearly 3,000 fans attend. The first game of the day featured local powerhouse Philipsburg-Osceola and Brandywine Heights with a standing-room only crowd of 1,800 spectators. The PIAA is committed to Penn State through the 2014 event as Nittany Lion Softball Park earned rave reviews.

Nittany Lion Softball Park is located adjacent to the old Nittany Lion Field near the East Area dorms, on the corner of Park Avenue and University Drive. The new field faces the Bryce Jordan Center, Mount Nittany and University Drive to the southeast, providing spectacular views and a gorgeous setting for all that attend softball games.

BEARD FIELD & NITTANY LION SOFTBALL PARK

“Bill and I are both very pleased to be a small part of this very impressive facility. For us, the decision to give to this facility, to this program, was easy because one of our big passions is certainly the students of this university, but in particular the softball program. Our passion to help the softball program is because we’ve watched this program grow. There are some common links to this group [of donors]: Fran and George [Vanden], the Stine Family, Peter and Ann Nagle, Bill and I all have in common a link in believing that this is a program that deserves the typical Penn State, first-class facility to be successful.”

Lee Beard, Lead Benefactor

“We finally have a stadium that’s worthy of the program. Nittany Lion Softball Park will clearly impact our recruiting efforts in the future. We are truly excited to be in the stadium and play on Beard Field. The Beards’ support is phenomenal. I had the Michigan State head coach [Jacquie Joseph] say to me, `you’re going from worst to first’ in terms of facilities in the conference.

Nittany Lion Softball Park will bring recruits here who will find the complex and amenities accommodating to the level of the program. Where we can go from here is unlimited in terms of recruiting and success on the field year in and year out. I think people will really enjoy coming to a brand new facility, have a place to sit and see the games in a beautiful setting.”

HEAD COACH ROBIN PETRINI

ROBIN

PETRINI Head Coach • 16th Year UTAH STATE ‘83 RECORD: 455-371-2 (.551)

Sixteen years after arriving in Happy Valley, fans and foes alike know that Penn State head coach Robin Petrini has brought the Nittany Lions to a new level. Petrini’s vision of taking a below average Big Ten team and building it into a force that expects a run to the NCAA Tournament every year. In the past 12 years alone, Petrini has guided the Nittany Lions to eight appearances in the NCAA Tournament, while her overall record stands at 455-371-2. Petrini owns the all-time mark for career wins by a Penn State coach and has the longest tenure of any PSU skipper.

With a quality coaching résumé, top-notch Division I playing credentials and unbridled ambition, Petrini and her staff have rebuilt a program that hadn’t been to an NCAA Tournament since 1985 when she took the 2000 Lion squad to the national tournament.

“We’ve established a standard and our expectation is that we get to NCAAs every year. Now we’re looking to improve upon that,” stated Petrini. “We’ve been to the NCAAs eight times. It doesn’t get any easier to accomplish that goal, but now we want to take it to the next level. We want to get to the next round of the NCAAs and move forward with our expectations of this program.”

Since taking over in 1997, Petrini has upgraded the program to become nationally competitive. She brought on board an excellent coaching staff with competitive experience at the collegiate ranks and upgraded the schedule to include nationally prominent teams year in and year out. In 1999, she led the Nittany Lions to their first 30-win season since 1988 and earned Big Ten Co-Coach of the year en route to a Big Ten Tournament bid. Since then, Petrini’s teams have recorded seven more 30-win seasons, including 2006’s 39-17 NCAA Tournament campaign, which set the school record for wins in a season.

More recently, Petrini overcame a three-year drought from the NCAA Tournament by taking the 2011 club not only to the event, but by hosting the NCAA Regionals at brand new Nittany Lion Softball Park and Beard Field. Petrini was instrumental in the building of the $10.2 million, softball-only complex on Penn State’s campus. In less than a year’s time, the new facility has Overall hosted the NCAA Tournament and all four levels of Season the PIAA Softball Championship.

1997 23-32 The Early Years at Penn State...

After only two seasons rebuilding the program, Petrini and the Lions started to become a factor in the conference with the 2000 season. That year, Penn State recorded its first back-to-back 30-win seasons and broke the school record for wins, which it set in the previous year. A school-best eight Lions were named All-Big Ten, including four first team selections. Petrini not only guided Penn State to its second consecutive Big Ten Tournament appearance, but the team also participated in its first NCAA Tournament since 1985.

Petrini’s teams have consistently rewritten the Lion record books since her arrival. In 2000, her squad broke four team records and eight individual records. Jaci Kalp graduated as Penn State’s most decorated pitcher in school history. Kalp left as the 8

school’s career-victories leader and broke the season mark for strikeouts, now held by 2006 graduate Missy Beseres.

2001... The 2001 campaign saw the Lions post their third-straight 30-win season. That team went on to break eight Penn State marks, including the single-season marks for victories by a pitcher and doubles. Kelly McCann won 22 games that year, while Megan Humphrey broke an 11-year old record for doubles with 15. The Lions made their second-straight trip to both postseason tournaments (NCAA and Big Ten).

2002… Eight single-season Penn State records fell in 2002 as the Nittany Lions made their fourth-straight trip to the Big Ten Tournament and third consecutive NCAA Regional Tournament appearance. All-Great Lakes Region selection Jennifer Tripken’s 16 home runs broke an eight-year old Penn State mark as the team belted out 28 on the season, also a school record. She also tied the single-season RBI record set in 1988 while Gina Bianchini broke the season record for singles. This Penn State squad set or tied three Big Ten Tournament records.

2003... A 31-23 record found the Lions in their fourth-straight NCAA Tournament, but a 9-9 conference record left Penn State just outside the Big Ten Tournament picture. On March 23 vs. James Madison, Petrini recorded her 200th career victory with a 3-0 shutout. Bianchini earned second team AllGreat Lakes Region in her final campaign and finished as the team’s all-time leader for stolen bases.

2004... Compiling a 25-33 season after a grueling schedule, Penn State made the Big Ten Tournament with an 8-12 record, but missed selection to the NCAA Tournament.

The Lions placed three on the All-Big Ten teams with freshmen Jen Williams and Meghan Wolfer landing on the second team, while junior Leigh Murray earned third team honors.

2005... Penn State compiled its sixth 30-win season in the past seven when it finished the year 3623, two wins shy of matching the then-program record for victories.

The Lions made both Big Tens and NCAAs, winning a pair of games at the NCAA Region 5 Tournament.

Freshman utility player Ashley Esparza exploded onto the scene, batting .402 for the year and earning NFCA third team All-America.

PENN STATE’S NCAA HISTORY

The past 12 years have seen an unprecedented series of runs to the NCAA Tournament in Penn State softball. The 2011 tournament represented the eighth bid in the past 12 years for the Nittany Lions and the 10th overall.

From 2000 until 2007, the Nittany Lions made seven appearances. In 2005 and 2006, Penn State was a pair of wins away from reaching the Super Regionals, but fell to Texas A&M and Arizona State, respectively.

Prior to 2000, the Lions reached the NCAA Tournament twice as a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference under former head coach Sue Rankin.

The 2011 tournament was the first time PSU has hosted a regional since 1983 when Louisiana Tech visited Happy Valley for a trip to the College World Series. The ‘83 edition of the competition was just the second ever NCAA Tournament following the AIAW Championships, which head coach Robin Petrini won twice at Utah State (1980-81).

Ultimately, Penn State once again fell two wins short of a Super Regionals performance, but celebrated a successful season at home. Penn State advanced to the regional final after a grueling two-game elimination day featuring a 16-inning marathon victory over Fordham, 5-2.

The Lady Techsters swept the Lions in 1983, a similar fate Penn State would face against perennial power Adelphi in 1985, dropping a pair of 2-0 games in New York.

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.

Petrini has guided Penn State to eight NCAA Tournament appearances garnering a 12-20 record in the process. Last season, PSU as one of three Big Ten schools to make NCAA Regionals, joining perennial powerhouse Michigan and Indiana.
