2021-22 Penn State Men's Golf Media Guide

PENN STATE GOLF COURSES

Penn State’s Blue and White Golf Courses are the home of Penn State Golf with the Blue Course offering a par 72, 7,197-yard layout from the championship tees following a major renovation and redesign in 2007.

The Big Ten Conference is well known for the outstanding caliber of its university-owned golf courses, and with the updates and improvements to the Blue Course, it proudly sits with some of the top in this group. The Blue Course annually hosts the Rutherford Intercollegiate and has hosted numerous events conducted by the USGA, FCWT, AJGA, IJGT, PGA Junior Series and the West Penn Golf Association.

PENN STATE 2021-22 • MEN’S GOLF

The renovated Blue Course hosted its first major amateur event, the 2009 Big Ten Men’s Golf Championship, and was very well received by coaches and players alike.

The White Course provides a historic alternative to golfers in the area. Designed in 1922 by world famed architect Willie Park Jr., eight original holes and green complexes still exist.

The current layout is shorter than the Blue Course, but still provides a test for a skilled golfer. The White Course provides smaller raised and undulated green complexes which add to its character, and demand a creative and disciplined shot making to score well. The sculpted bunkering design style of Willie Park Jr. is still studied and photographed by some of today’s top architects.

TOMBROS VARSITY GOLF CLUBHOUSE The Tombros Varsity Clubhouse is the newest asset of Penn State’s men’s and women’s golf teams. The facility is conveniently located between the Blue and White Courses, just west of the Blue Course’s 18th hole and right next to the Walker Clubhouse.

Peter and Ann Tombros propelled the project with an initial donation in 2007. The project was additionally funded by donations from numerous alumni and Nittany Lion Club donors.

The facility provides coaches’ offices, team locker rooms and club storage. A lounge with a big screen TV allows the team to relax and study while at the course. A new heated indoor hitting-net facility and indoor-to-outdoor hitting bays give the golfers an advantage, especially in the winter months. A new V-1 video system provides the team with video instruction to help improve development.

In addition to its prime location and exceptional features, the facility will also give the program an edge from a recruiting standpoint as it is better able to compete with the programs who previously had their own facilities.

“The idea with the Tombros Varsity Golf Clubhouse was to provide our student-athletes and coaches with an attractive, multi-use facility they can call home,” said Nittany Lion men’s golf head coach Greg Nye. “It’s on-campus location makes it incredibly easy to access and its central location between our two golf courses as well as our short game complex and long game practice area make it ideal to manage all styles of practicing, intra-team competitions and our home intercollegiate tournaments.”

GREG

NYE HEAD COACH COLLEGE OF WOOSTER ’79 (B.S.) 30TH SEASON AT PENN STATE

Beginning his 30th year as Penn State head men’s golf coach in 2021-22, and 38th season overall as a head coach, Greg Nye has guided the Nittany Lions to national prominence, while bolstering the program’s repu¬tation as a perennial power in Eastern collegiate golf. Five appear¬ances in the NCAA Finals in 1996, 2004, 2008, 2010 and 2017 are major highlights of Nye’s highly-respected career as the longest-tenured coach in Penn State men’s golf history.

Nye successfully guided Penn State through a season like no other in the 2020-21 school year. Despite the fall season being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Nittany Lions hit their stride in the later half of the spring season to win their sixth-straight Rutherford Intercollegiate tournament championship. Nye mentored three All-Region honorees, which was tied for the highest number of honorees among Big Ten institutions and the highest number of any other school in Penn State’s region.

EASTERN GOLF CONTRIBUTIONS One of the most significant contributions Nye has made to Penn State and Eastern collegiate golf came in the 1995-96 season when the Nittany Lions became the first-ever Northeastern or MidAtlantic team to advance to the NCAA Finals since the regional format was established in 1987. Penn State made a statement with a ninth-place finish in the NCAA East Regional.

In 2004, his Nittany Lions rocked the collegiate golf world by near¬ly winning the NCAA East Regional, finishing second among 27 teams, seven of which were ranked in the nation’s top 15, including the No. 1-ranked Florida Gators. The Nittany Lions went on to fin¬ish 15th among the 30-team field at the NCAA Finals, making Penn State golf history with its highest team and individual finish with Mark Leon capturing sixth.

The team headed into Big Ten territory for the 2008 edition of the NCAA regionals after receiving a bid to the Central Regional host¬ed by Ohio State. The 13th-seeded Penn State team captured an eighth-place finish to secure its third NCAA Finals berth under Nye. The Penn State squad was propelled into the 2010 NCAA Finals by seniors T.J. Howe and Kevin Foley. The standout team perfor¬mance secured a fourth-place finish for the Nittany Lions at region-als upsetting several highly ranked teams and only two shots be¬hind first-place Texas. Howe’s first-place finish made Penn State history in that he became the first Lion to ever win a NCAA regional.

Penn State posted four top-five tournament finishes during the fall portion of the 2019-20 season, which witnessed the Nittany Lions tie the program record for a low round (269, 11-under) at the Old Town Club Collegiate in September. Success during the early part of the spring campaign produced an appearance in the finals of Big Ten Championship Match Play, ceding to top-seeded Northwestern in a shortened competition as darkness fell.

Nye led Penn State to a fifth-place team finish in the 2017 NCAA Washington Regional to advance into the NCAA Finals in Sugar Grove, Ill. The second Nittany Lion to ever win an NCAA Regional, Cole Miller, claimed the individual title, shooting 7-under par to win by three strokes. The Blue & White would go on to finish in a tie for 24th in the NCAA Championships.

Nye had positioned Penn State for another NCAA Regional ap¬pearance in 2019-20 as the Nittany Lions tied for third at the Flor¬ida Gators Invitational in their first tournament action of 2020.

The spring season ended while Penn State was on its spring break trip as the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the remaining events as well as Big Ten and NCAA postseason play.

In April 2007, Nye marked a personal achievement while the Nit¬tany Lions celebrated their victory at the Marshall Invitational, beat¬ing the next best team by 12 strokes. The championship, won on a cool, snowy weekend at the Guyan Golf and Country Club, was the 50th of Nye’s coaching career.

The Nittany Lions made their fourth-straight appearance in an NCAA Regional in 2018, with Penn State one of only four Big Ten Conference teams to accomplish that feat. Under Nye’s purview, the Nittany Lions have done it twice, with consecutive trips in 20152018 and previously in 2007-2010.

Following the 2017-18 season, Nye was selected the Golf Pride Grips Northeast Region Coach of the Year by the Golf Coaches As¬sociation of American (GCAA). It was his third-straight award and marked the 11th such recognition in his tenure. The honor was well-deserved as the Nittany Lions recorded nine top-five finishes and three titles in their 11 tournaments that sea¬son. Penn State

Nye’s career coaching win total now stands at 72. In his first two years, Nye’s teams set two Penn State records for the number of championships earned in a season, with six in 1992-93 and eight in 1993-94, a that mark was tied by the 1996-97 squad.

ACADEMIC & ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE In addition to the team’s success on the course, Nye has continu¬ally stressed strong performance in the classroom. In 1999-2000, 2001-2002 and 2015-16, his teams led the nation with three Golf Coaches Association of America All-America Scholar team selec¬tions. During the summer of 2015, the Nittany Lions received the President’s Special Recognition by the Golf Coaches

COACHING STAFF Association of America (GCAA) with Stanford University for teams with a grade-point average over 3.5.

At Penn State, the Nittany Lions have consistently achieved a team GPA greater than 3.00. In 2000-01, 2013-14 and 2014-15, Nye’s team received the award for the top GPA of the 31 intercollegiate teams at Penn State. Six times his Lions topped all the men’s teams with latest honor coming in the spring of 2016. Nye has coached 31 GCAA All-America Scholars and each year he has seen a high percentage of the team rewarded for academic achievements with Academic All-Big Ten honors with 136 student-athletes receiving those laurels along with 19 Big Ten Distinguished Scholars.

Nye’s teams have continually ranked near or at the top of the Mid-Atlantic or Northeast Region. His teams have qualified for the NCAA Championship Regional 22 times. In 2011, then-senior T.J. Howe competed individually at the Virginia Tech Regional.

In 2017, Nye guided Penn State to its fifth and most recent NCAA Championship Finals appearance. His squads also won the East¬ern Championship three straight seasons, 1994, 1995, and in 1997.

In addition to the accolades he has received as a coach, Nye has tutored 83 NCAA All-Region players, five Mid-Atlantic Region Play¬ers of the Year and 16 All-Big Ten selections, as well as 10 NCAA All-Americans Adam Decker (1997), Matt Abbott (2001), Mark Leon (2004), Foley (2008, 2009 & 2010), Howe (2010), Charles Huntz¬inger (2016), and Cole Miller (2017 & 2018).

For the first time in program history, Penn State had Nittany Lions selected for All-Northeast Region honors all four years of their ca¬reers in back-to-back seasons in 2017-18 and 2018-19. Following the 2020-21 season, Penn State added to that run as Ryan Davis received his fifth All-Region honor to mark the third-straight sea¬son a student-athlete was recognized in all years of his career.

THE ROAD TO HAPPY VALLEY Nye served for eight years as head coach of the Bowling Green State University men’s and women’s golf teams in Bowling Green, Ohio, before accepting the assignment as head coach of the Nit¬tany Lion men’s golf program. Attracted to Penn State and its mem¬bership in the Big Ten Conference and familiar with the institution through its golf camps, the 1987 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year began his career in Happy Valley in August 1992.

PROFESSIONAL LEADERSHIP Nye has been a member of the Golf Coaches Association of Amer¬ica since 1984 and served as the Chair of the Ethics committee for 10 consecutive years from 1993-2003. In addition, he also served the NCAA as a District Selection Chair for the NCAA Championship from 1997-99. Nye, a “Class A” member of the PGA of America since 1982, began his professional career working as a golf profes-sional in 1980.

PLAYING CAREER A 1979 graduate of the College of Wooster (Ohio), Nye earned AllAmerica honors each of his four years, receiving first-team honors as a sophomore, junior and senior. Nye and his teammates cap-tured the first-ever NCAA Division III Golf Championship in 1975, where he finished eighth individually. Before concluding his colle¬giate career, Nye earned second, fourth and sixth-place finishes in the NCAA Championship.

In 1990, Nye was inducted into the College of Wooster’s Athlet¬ic Hall of Fame, and was honored with induction into the Wayne County, Ohio, Sports Hall of Fame in Wooster, Ohio, in 2002. Nye was also inducted into the Wooster High School Hall of Fame in 2009.

A LIFE IN GOLF When asked about how his life in golf and Penn State fit together Nye said, “Sports, golf, competing, coaching and teaching have been with me from the beginning. I have been very fortunate to be able to pursue a passion for competitive golf at a few very special places with many outstanding people. Penn State has been one of those places. I have particularly enjoyed the Penn State approach to intercollegiate athletics. Penn State supports our program to be competitive athletically on a conference and national level, but in¬sists that the student-athletes’ education and well-being remains first and foremost.”

Nye and his wife, Marjie, reside in State College, and are parents of two sons, Russell and Graham.

MICHAEL CARTER LEGACY | IN MEMORIAM

Above: The red maple tree, which was planted by near the 18th hole of the Blue Course Below: Flowers and a pictorial were placed in memoriam at the Penn State Golf Course Club House.

MIKE CARTER’S LEGACY LIVES ON WITH TREE AND SCHOLARSHIP The Penn State golf family continues to honor the memory of Mike Carter — the spunky and colorful sophomore player from Westfield, N.J. — who passed away on February 13, 2002.

Carter, who was known around the course and across campus for his upbeat attitude and engaging personality, was returning home when he was in an automobile accident and died.

Penn State was devastated and the Nittany Lions golf family mourned and remembered its fallen teammate with unity and grace.

The men’s team wore pink pants as a tribute to Carter at the 2002 Rutherford Invitational, the Big Ten Championship and the NCAA East Regional.

“He was a very bright light on our team, and we will always remember how he lived each day to the fullest,” said head coach Greg Nye. To ensure that the memory of Mike Carter lives on in perpetuity, the Penn State golf family and the Carter family have taken two significant measures. In the spring of 2002, the Penn State team and coaches planted a red maple tree near the 18th hole on the home Blue Course in State College, Pa., and dedicated it, with a plaque, to Mike Carter.

In 2003, Michael and Mary Lou Carter endowed a grant in the name of their son to be awarded annually to the golf program.

PENN STATE 2021-22 • MEN’S GOLF

LIONS ON TOUR Penn State has long been a training ground for golfers to elevate their game. Upon graduation, several alumni have continued to compete successfully in the sport and pursue their dreams of playing in the professional ranks.

Recent graduate and former Nittany Lion Cole Miller finished 25th in his first season on Canada’s Mackenzie Tour’s Order of Merit, which earned him an exemption into the second stage of Web.com Qualifying School. He began his third year as a professional in 2020 and has been active on the PGA Tour Latinoamérica, finishing in a tie for seventh in an early October 2020 event While 2013 was a milestone year with Kevin Foley earning status on the PGA Tour, there were many players before who blazed a trail in the professional ranks, and may who continue to compete successfully on various tours in the hopes of joining Kevin on golf’s grandest stage.

A three-time All-American, Foley graduated in 2010 and adjusted quickly to the pro game, enjoying an unprecedented rise through the ranks. Foley’s first season as a professional was highlighted by his win in the 2011 New Jersey State Open. In 2012, he split time between the EGolfTour and Web.com tour. After establishing himself as one of the premier players on the EGolf Tour with 6 top-10s in 11 events and a win at the Pine Needles Classic, Foley focused his attention back to the Web.com Tour where a fifth-place finish at the Web.com Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational earned him enough money to gain status for the remainder of the year. Foley finished the year with $119,000 in earnings, giving him full status on Web.com for 2013.

In 2013, Foley picked up where he left off by winning the first event of the season at the Panama Claro Championship. He ultimately finished 24th on the money list in August 2013, earning a spot in the coveted “25,” and making him the first Nittany Lion since Dan O’Neill to earn a PGA Tour card. Foley’s success has continued and paid off in a big way after he qualified for his first U.S. Open in 2016. Added to the field as the first alternate, Foley and former Nittany Lion T.J. Howe were the first alumni to represent Penn State in the event since 1999. Foley is also currently playing on the Web.com Tour.

T.J. Howe is a 2011 graduate who enjoyed a successful career after leaving the Lions. A 2010 All-American selection, Howe racked up 11 professional wins and multiple appearances on the Web.Com and PGA Tours, including a start in the 2015 Wells Fargo Championship. Based in the southeastern United States, the EGolf Tour is regarded by many as the most competitive mini-tour in the United States. Between 2012 and 2016, Howe won five times on the EGolf Tour and finished in the top five of the money list three times. He enjoyed Web.Com and Mackenzie Tour status in 2016. Howe qualified for his first U.S. Open in 2016 at Oakmont Country Club. Most recently, in 2017, Howe won the prestigious Frank B. Fuhrer Invitational in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

J.D. Dornes, a 2016 graduate, burst on to the professional golf scene after enjoying one of the best golf careers in Penn State history. Dornes has already tasted success in professional golf, having won the 2017 Maine Open by two shots. Only weeks later, Dornes opened up the Pennsylvania Open with a sizzling course record 62 at Gulph Mills GC. He would go on to finish runner-up in the event. Dornes also competed on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica in 2017. He is in his third season of Web.Com Tour membership.

Robert Rohanna enjoyed success as a pro since leaving Happy Valley in 2008 with wins in the 2010 and 2016 Pennsylvania Opens. Known for his tremendous length and deft touch around the greens, Rohanna was always poised to make the jump to the Web.Com Tour. He proved to be a dominant force on the NGA Tour throughout the winter of 201314, finishing in the top five in each of his four events, highlighted by a win at Harmony Golf Preserve in November.

Rohanna capped his successful NGA Tour campaign by earning full status on PGA Tour Latinoamerica, where the top five money earners gain Web.com Tour membership.

Mark Leon, a 2005 grad, earned Canadian Tour exempt status in the fall of 2007 after competing for Team Canada in 2006. Leon retained his status on the Canadian Tour for three seasons. He advanced to the second round of PGA Tour Q-School in 2008, narrowly missing out on Q-school finals and a Web.Com tour card by two strokes. Leon also made the cut in the 2007 Nationwide Tour’s Northeastern PA Classic and spent time playing on the Great Lakes Tour, winning the 2010 Mandarin Classic before returning to Penn State as assistant coach in 2011.

In the summer of 2017, Leon accepted the assistant coaching job at the University of Florida where he looks to continue a storied tradition with the Gators.

Prior to starting a collegiate coaching careeer, 2006 graduate Greg Pieczynski won 25 tournaments during his nine-year professional career, with victories in the 2008 Philadelphia Open as well as the 2008 Philadelphia PGA Assistants Championship. He finished seventh at the PGA National Assistants Championship in 2008. A native of Kingston, Pennsylvania, Pieczyinski also played in the Northeastern PA Classic on the Nationwide Tour in 2004, and from 2007-2009. Pieczyinski was named the head men’s golf coach at George Mason University in January 2020.

Matt Abbott, a 2001 graduate, has seen great success on the Gateway Tour and Minor League Tour. On the Gateway Tour he earned over $91,000 and made 32-of-40 cuts in his last two seasons on the tour.

On the Minor League Tour, Abbott earned numerous victories and over $20,000 in earnings.

Jimbo Fuller, a 2003 graduate, began his professional career in 2006 on the Grey Goose Gateway Tour and had a very successful season.

Fuller won one tournament, made 14-of-22 cuts and earned over $55,000. In 2006, Fuller qualified for the second stage of the PGA Tour Q-School.

LIONS ON TOUR Adam Decker (1996) begins his 16th season as the head coach for the University of Richmond in 2020-21. He played in PGA Tour and Nationwide Tour events, including the 1998 Kemper Open, 2000 Florida Classic, 2001 Hershey Open and the 2001 Greater Cleveland Open.

He had also played on the former Tear Drop Tour, where he won twice, and on the Golden Bear Tour, where he accumulated over $45,000.

Dirk Ayers, a 1995 alum, had a successful career on the Canadian Tour. His best year on the Canadian Tour was in 2004 when he finished runner-up twice and finished ninth on the money list with over $42,000 in earnings. Ayers has also played in several PGA Tour and Nationwide Tour events. He made the cut at the PGA Tour’s Canadian Open in 2004 and played the B.C. Open in 1998. His Nationwide Tour experiences include the 1996 Buffalo Open, 2003 Alberta Calgary Classic and 2004 Boise Open. Ayers has also competed on the Australasian PGA Tour.

A 1993 alum, Jason Tyska perhaps turned in the most impressive performance by becoming the second Penn Stater to qualify for the U.S. Open, but first to make the cut at the 1999 Open held in Pinehurst, N.C.. Tyska went on to finish 53rd. He earned his way on to the 1999 Nationwide Tour by making it through all three stages of PGA Tour Q-school and made the cut in 12 events where he had four top-10

finishes. In 2000, Tyska played in four Nationwide Tour events and qualified for the PGA Tour’s Michelob Championship at Kingsmill.

Danny O’Neill ’72, a four-time All-American during his Nittany Lion career, is the only Penn Stater to qualify for both the U.S. Open (1985) and U.S. Senior Open (2001). In his career, O’Neill has played in the 1990 & 1996 Buffalo Open (Nationwide Tour). He qualified for the 2002 U.S. Senior PGA Tour by finishing fourth at the final stage. In his rookie year on tour (2002), O’Neill played in 29 events and earned over $216,000.

“Penn State has had its share of talented players through the years,” Coach Nye said. “The young men who come into our program are here for education first, but they all have the tour as a goal or a dream. It is with great pride that we watch their efforts to play at the highest levels of the game.”

PENN STATE GOLF HISTORY

Willie Park Jr. was the designer and creator of the first Penn State golf course.

The first golf holes were laid out on the Penn State campus in the late 1800s. The game became more and more popular and eventually became a 9-hole course in 1901. Known as the Golf Club of State College, the club became so popular that 50 percent of the faculty and students played the game. The possible location of this routing existed near the current location of Pollock Hall with some claiming that the location was closer to the present location of Beaver Stadium.

In December of 1908, a new club was proposed and the generous support of H. Walton Mitchell, a strong alumnus and faithful alumni trustee, and other owners leased land known as the Dale Farm at a reduced rate for the purpose of a new club. The land was maintained by the course caretaker who lived in the farmhouse with their family and not only maintained the course with a flock of sheep but also would earn part pay from the produce he could raise off the land not occupied by the links. It is believed that the area of land is where parts of the current White Course are located today.

Former Penn State Athletic Director Hugo Bezdek, hired in 1918, wanted the University to have better golf facilities and eventually a varsity team.

In 1921, with public school money and a dream in his bag, Bezdek lured Golf Professional Robert B. Rutherford Sr., from New Britain, Connecticut, to oversee the change from a nine-hole course to an 18-hole championship course. Bezdek and Rutherford hired Willie Park Jr., an internationally known figure who designed some of the best courses in both the United States and Europe.

Park, a native of Musselburgh, Scotland, won The British Open in 1887 and 1889.

The annual college championship was a popular event that was contested each fall on the college links. In 1922, Rutherford, nicknamed “Pop,” was named head coach and organized the first men’s golf team at Penn State. It was

from the college championship that Rutherford would form the first varsity team. The team members were: J.W. Crookston (captain), F.E. Dale, T.F. Connell, J.L. Bair, and C.M. Andrews (manager). The first match in Penn State varsity golf history was played on the new campus course on May 26, 1922. The Nittany Lion golfers were defeated by the University of Pennsylvania in their intercollegiate debut by a score of 4-3. Had the Lions defeated Penn, they likely would have been invited to The Intercollegiates (national championship).

their matches in dominating fashion and therefore also claim the three best-ball matches. They went on to shut out 21-time NCAA champion, Yale, by a score of 9-0 and became the first nonIvy league school to win the EIGA Championship.

Coach Boyle was a starting member of the 1948 team and remembered the history made by winning the EIGA with a twinkle in his eye.

In 1923, intercollegiate golf began to take shape.

Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Dartmouth, Columbia, Penn and Williams developed plans to form a golf league. With the steady growth and interest in golf at Penn State, it was only a matter of time before Penn State joined. Each team in the league was to play matches and the team with the best record was declared the champion.

The team would go on to finish the season undefeated with a record of 10-0 and would go on to finish in 16th place at the NCAA championships in Palo Alto, Calif.

With the 1923 Nittany Lion schedule finalized, word was received in April that Penn State had been admitted to the Intercollegiate Golf League.

Penn State league began play in 1924. The 1923 schedule included matches against Princeton, Lock Haven CC, Penn and Pittsburgh. The Lions finished their second season of intercollegiate golf with a 6-1 record and were invited to The Intercollegiates where they went on to finish in eighth place. The first undefeated season in school history occurred in 1927. That year, Penn State went 5-0-1. The Lions proved to always be a challenge on the links during Pop’s years. The Lions only had three losing seasons from 1927 to 1942.

The War Years Through the Mid-Fifties With the major developments of World War II in the mid 1940s Rutherford was forced to have a limited schedule in 1943 and 44 and was unable to field a team in 1945 and 46. Varsity golf returned to Penn State in 1947 with a limited schedule. The Lions played five dual matches, finishing third at the EIGA Championship and 25th at The Intercollegiate. Rutherford’s team went on to have three more undefeated campaigns with the most significant being in 1948.

The 1948 squad went into the EIGA Playoffs with an unblemished record of 3-0. The linksmen went on to beat Pitt, 8-1, Cornell, 6-3, and Army, 9-0, to reach the EIGA Championships in Atlantic City, N.J. In the first round of the finals, Penn State went on to beat a tough Georgetown squad by a score of 6-3. Penn State had reached the championship match for the first time in school history. Penn State’s previous best finish at the EIGA Finals had been in 1947 where they finished in third.

The 1948 squad, captained by Donald Hart, was not going to be denied the afternoon of May 15, 1948. The Nittany Lions came out hot and would not cool down. All six Lions would win

“We were so excited to win the Eastern Intercollegiate as those Ivy teams were awfully tough in those days,” Joe Boyle said.

The first Grant-in-Aid (golf scholarship) was awarded to Rod Eaken of Reading, Pa. In the early summer of 1950, a freshman to be, Eaken received some disheartening news. He had received a letter from Penn State advising that, due to budgetary restrictions, five sports had been discontinued.

During the summer months there was at least one invitational golf tournament held each week at some of the best country clubs in the Philadelphia area. One of the weekly competitors in these invitationals was a Penn State alumnus and member of the Penn State Board of Directors: Fred Waring. Fred owned the famous Shawnee-on-the-Delaware resort and had his world famous band “The Pennsylvanians” based there.

In June of 1950, while playing at Scranton Country Club, Eaken’s competitor that week was none other than Waring. During the round, Eaken approached Waring and asked him if he was aware that Penn State had dropped the golf team. Fred was outraged and said to, “Penn State will have a golf team if I have to pay for it myself.”

Eaken, obviously elated, wondered Waring would actually do something. He had never heard another word from Waring but when he returned to school in September, the golf team had been reinstated. It was not until several years later that the other sports were reinstated.

Rutherford Jr., continued to build upon the success of his father. In his inaugural season as coach, Rutherford Jr., led PSU senior Tommy Smith to the NCAA Championship in New Mexico.

Although his teams did not claim an EIGA Championship, his teams finished the 1953 and 1955 seasons undefeated. In his seven-year span as head coach, Rutherford Jr., finished with a career mark of 50-13.

Coach Joe Boyle – Match Play to Medal In 1957, a new coach was named in Joe Boyle.

Coach Boyle’s first day of work as the Penn State golf coach just happened to be the same day as that of legendary football coach Joe Paterno.

PENN STATE GOLF HISTORY was a member of the historic 1948 EIGA Championship team and captain of the 1949 team. Boyle wasted little time building off of Rutherford’s successes. In his first year as coach, his squad went 10-2 and finished second in the EIGA Championship. In his 25 years as head coach, Boyle’s teams won seven EIGA Championships, including back-to-back titles in 1963 and 1964, and a string of three from 1971-1973. He had a team or individual compete for Penn State at the national championship in 19 of his 25 years with the team and had a best finish of 16th place in 1969.

Boyle finished his coaching career with a dual match record of 197-38-1, which included seven undefeated seasons. He was an active member in the Golf Coaches Association of America and served as the associations’ president in 1967-68.

Boyle was inducted in the GCAA Hall of Fame in 1987 and was the recipient of the GCAA’s highest award, The Honor Award, in 2007. The Honor Award which began in 1985 is awarded annually to a member of the GCAA Hall of Fame who is retired and has made a significant contribution to the game of golf.

Boyle coached in an era that had a lot of change in collegiate golf. Part way through his coaching career intercollegiate golf gradually went away from traditional dual matches (match play) to stroke-play tournaments involving a number of teams. The Lions went from playing 10-15 dualmatches a year to 6-8 stroke play tournaments.

One of the first and favorite tournaments that the Lion golfers became regular participants in was the Indiana (Pa.) Invitational played at the Indiana Country Club. The Lions claimed their first IUP title in 1964 and went on to win the title 10 out of the next 11 years. With the popularity of intercollegiate golf growing across the nation, districts were also created to select the top teams from various areas of the country. Under Boyle, the Lions were traditionally one of the top-ranked teams in District II, made up of the northern MidAtlantic states.

William (Bill) Davidson is an important name in the history of Penn State golf. He became the program’s first-ever champion of the EIGA Championship and first All-American in 1959. In the 1958 EIGA Championship, Davidson beat teammate Johnny Felus in the semifinals and went on to win the title the next day beating Ted Weiss of Yale. He was named team captain for the 1959 squad. In his career, Davidson qualified for the NCAA championship all three years he was a Nittany Lion (1957-59). He finished his career with a regular-season match-play record of 22-9.

In the fall of 1969, a young freshman from Jamestown, New York, enrolled at Penn State. Dan O’Neill immediately made an impact becoming the Lions’ No. 1 man by midspring of 1970 and finished in 12th place at the NCAA championship. That finish earned him All-America honors which he would achieve in each of his next three years with the Nittany Lions, becoming the first four-time All-American. In the summer of 1972, 30

PENN STATE 2021-22 • MEN’S GOLF

O’Neill qualified for the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and made the 36-hole cut. His cut-making putt was seen live across the nation on ABC. In the late 1960s golf became so popular on the University Park campus, that the administration decided to build a second golf course. The new course was named the “Blue” and was built on the far west portion of the campus property and had a separate entrance off College Avenue.

The original campus course was renamed the “White” course. The Blue course would open in 1970 at a par of 72 and length of 7,010 yards.

It had 87 bunkers and three ponds. The course was designed by the architecture firm of Harrison & Grabin and built by university employees.

It became the primary course for all Penn State intercollegiate competitions.

Kennedy Leads Lions to Atlantic 10 Dominance In January 1982, Mary Kennedy-Zierke, Penn State’s women’s coach at the time, was promoted to head coach of the men and women’s teams following the retirement of Joe Boyle. “Fall” collegiate golf was now a norm and Coach Kennedy-Zierke led a number of successful teams in her 10 years as head coach. Kennedy, an outstanding teacher, developed several all-district players and guided the Lions to prominence in eastern golf her last five years with the program.

She was named District II Coach of the Year in 1987 and 1991 and her teams claimed six Atlantic 10 Conference Championships, including five in a row from 1986-90.

Through this period of Penn State golf, nearly all competition was still Eastern based. Through these years, Coach Kennedy’s team improved year after year, nearly always atop the leader board in District II competitions. Overall under Kennedy’s guidance the Lions won 19 events, including a first-place finish in the 1987 Eastern Championship and a 31st-place finish at the 1987 NCAA Championships.

Addition of Holuba Hall The program was given a big lift in the mid 1980s when the massive indoor facility, Holuba Hall, was completed. This free span structure covers two indoor 80-yard practice fields side-by-side.

The 118,000-square foot facility, complete with the latest indoor turf surface, provided the Lions with a facility to get an early start on each spring.

In 1992, with the development and expansion of the “West” Campus and the inconvenience of running the golf operation from two separate locations, both the Blue and White courses underwent a major facelift. The $1.5 million expansion was generated through the golf course facilities. The golf operation became more efficient with the renovation project of both courses would begin play from the Blue Course Pro Shop and eventually the Walker Clubhouse.

Tombros Varsity Golf Clubhouse The Tombros Varsity Golf Clubhouse was dedicated on Sept. 3, 2010, and the next day both the men’s and women’s programs were able to utilize for the first time this spectacular facility build smack in the middle of the university golf course facilities. This clubhouse provides four coaches offices, locker and bag storage for both teams, a beautiful center core that combines the Nittany Lion foyer, academic space, and the magnificent living room with a fabulous floor to ceiling stone fireplace as a focal point. In addition to these space are two multi-function rooms with the ”in to out” capable golf practice and work-out room on one side of the living room and a conference room on the other. This cabin-feel, log construction clubhouse blends perfectly the natural mountain surrounding in Happy Valley, and is located directly in the middle of the Blue and White golf course, adjacent to the range, and short walk to both the private to team’s short game area or long game practice area.

Nye – Builds and Goes National in Scope On Aug, 28, 1992 it was announced that former Bowling Green head men’s and women’s coach, Greg Nye, would take over the men’s team from retired men’s and women’s coach Mary Kennedy-Zierke and lead the Lion golfers in the Big Ten Conference. In Nye’s first season as the Lions’ coach, he led them to six team championships, including the 1993 Eastern Championship. The Lions finished eighth in the Big Ten Championship and were the top-ranking team in District II. Eventually, they finished the season in a tie for 16th at the NCAA East Regional played in Charlottesville, Va. Freshman Dirk Ayers was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year.

The 1993-94 season was one for the record books. In Coach Nye’s second year at the helm, the Nittany Lions went on to claim eight tournament titles. Penn State was in its second year as a member of the Big Ten Conference and the Nittany Lions went to Madison, Wis. and finished in sixth place.

When the newest edition of the Blue and White golf courses opened in 1994, golfers were greeted with completely new routings for both courses. The back nine of the Blue Course from the 1970 design became the current front nine and a new nine-holes, designed by Tom Clark, 1971 Penn State graduate, was built for the Blue Course as the back nine. The new Blue Course was completely opened for play on May 13, 1994 with a par of 72 and length of 6,525 yards.

The White Course was reduced to 12 holes and six new holes were added, becoming a par-70, 6,008-yard layout.

With the NCAA regional system put into play in 1989 the Nittany Lions qualified annually for the NCAA East Regional and reached the NCAA finals in 1996. The 1996 Nittany Lion team made

PENN STATE GOLF HISTORY history, becoming the first Northeast golf program to qualify for NCAA finals since regionals began.

Adam Decker, a one time Penn State walk-on, nearly won the NCAA East Regional finishing second, and went on the following year to make the All America team.

Following their historic achievement in the spring of 1996, the Lions wasted no time proving that they were once again the top team in District II. Like in 1994, the Nittany Lions captured a record eight tournament titles.

With 29 team titles in six seasons, Penn State was dominating the Northeast and changed its schedule to a more national one. Over the next five seasons, the Lions traveled to such places as Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, California, Colorado and Hawaii. Though these years the Nittany Lions were lead by the program’s 13th All-American, Matt Abbott.

The product of a more difficult schedule came together for the 2003-04 team. Early in the fall of 2003, the Nittany Lions captured three tournament titles in a row. The key to the schedule that season was winning the MacDonald Cup, hosted

by Yale University. The Yale University GC was the host of the spring’s NCAA East Regional.

After 36 holes of the Regional, the Nittany Lions were shocking the college golf world. In the lead with 18 holes to play, the Lions ended up finishing second behind Clemson University. Nye’s team went on to beat No. 1-ranked Florida, as well as Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn and North Carolina. Two weeks later, the Lions would ride the momentum of their regional finish and become the first Northeast golf team of the stroke-play era to make the cut at the NCAA Finals. Mark Leon went on to finish in sixth place and became Penn State’s 14th All-American.

In the spring of 2005, in order to compete with Big Ten Conference facilities, the Blue Course and varsity practice facilities underwent their most recent renovation and additions. The Blue Course was lengthened some 700 yards to 7,228 yards. Water hazards were added to holes two, three, five and 15. The most significant changes to the Blue Course occurred on holes seven and eight. Hole seven became 465 yards, par four and hole eight was reduced to 215 yards, par three. New tee boxes, two fairway bunkers, a pitch green, and practice bunker were added to the practice facilities located on the range. A new two-plus acre varsity short-game area was built for the teams behind the 14th green of the Blue Course. The area includes a 13,000-sq. ft. putting and chipping green and an 10,000 sq. ft. “impact” green, surrounded by three fairways and bunkers of four different styles.

A big change occurred to college golf in the summer of 2007. The NCAA Golf Committee had decided to change the NCAA Regional qualification system. Districts no longer existed and qualifying for Regional play was now based purely on a team’s national rank.

Big National Wins Bring Highest Ranking In the fall of 2007, Indiana played host to the Wolf Run Intercollegiate where the Lions would knock off Big Ten rivals Indiana, Michigan and Northwestern, as well as SEC teams like Kentucky and Arkansas to claim the first of two consecutive wins. The confident Lions went to Richmond, Va., the next week and defended their VCU Shootout title. In that victory, Penn State knocked off perennial top-25 teams Wake Forest and North Carolina. Kevin Foley claimed the individual title with a 15-under-par performance. The following week the Lions received their highest-ever national ranking, at No. 6 in the nation. They were also named Golfweek Magazine “Team of the Week” for their recent play. The Lions would finish the regular season with a stunning head-tohead record of 119-15-0.

At the Central Regional, led by a second-place finish from two time All-Big Ten selection Robert Rohanna, the Lions finished tied for eighth place and advanced on to the NCAA Finals hosted by Big Ten member Purdue. After three rounds of play at the NCAA Finals, the Lions stood in 25th place of the 30 teams and would miss the 54hole cut. Kevin Foley advanced as an individual to the final round and finished 23rd and became Penn State’s 15th All-American. Coach Nye was named Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year for the sixth time.

2013 U.S. Open Unique Connection to PSU As the 2013 US Open at the Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, quickly approached, its unique connection to Penn State became even more relevant.

Scott Nye, brother of men’s golf head coach Greg Nye, was the host Head Golf Professional for this prominent sporting event. In addition, Penn State alumnus Matt Shaffer was the Director of Golf Course Operations at Merion. Shaffer was heavily involved in the ongoing preparation of the course for the championship. He met every request of the USGA to update this course in order to best serve the world’s best professional golfers, all while overseeing the turfgrass care of the facilities.

Nittany Lion Postseason Success Penn State would attract attention on a national scale again in 2017 when the Nittany Lions posted one of their best finishes in the Big Ten Conference Championship with a tie for fourth place. Charles Hunzinger (t-4) and Cole Miller (t-6) would secure places in the top 10 as Penn State improved two spots on the final day.

Days later, Penn State learned its NCAA Regional destination as the Nittany Lions made their 23rd regional appearance as a program and 20th under head coach Greg Nye. The Nittany Lions were the No. 48 overall seed heading into NCAA Regionals and would compete at the Washington Regional with the likes of top-ranked USC, Kent State, a No. 2 seed, and No. 12 in the nation, and Texas A&M, at the three seed, and 13th in the country, as opponents.

In sixth after the first day, the Nittany Lions relied on the steady play of Miller, who carded a two-under 69 for sixth place overall. Huntzinger tallied a 72 in first-round play. Miller duplicated his performance in the second round with another 2-under 69 while Ryan Davis moved up 29 spots into a tie for 16th with his 69 on day two.

Miller tallied a third round of under-par score with a 68 to win the regional’s individual championship at 7-under, just the second Nittany Lion to accomplish that feat.

For Penn State, it would be its fifth trip to the NCAA Championship where the Nittany Lions, the lowest-seeded squad in the 30-team field, tied Lipscomb for 24th place. Five teams seeded higher finished behind Penn State as it finished with a 27-over 891 over the three rounds.

The Nittany Lions improved four spots on the final day with freshman Ryan Davis recording a two-over 218 (76-71-71) to lead Penn State.

Miller posted a 219 total.

While the 2013 US Open and Penn State ties are evident, there is yet another reason the event’s location hits close to home for the Nittany Lion golf family. Assistant coach Mark Leon played at the Merion Golf Club in 2005 for the U.S. Amateur. He performed incredibly well on this nationally recognized course that was the pinnacle of professional golf when it welcomed the Open.

RUTHERFORD INTERCOLLEGIATE The Rutherford Intercollegiate, hosted by Penn State, has become one of the top events in the Northeast, and has featured a top field of Eastern teams and several squads from around the nation.

The Nittany Lions have dominated the Rutherford since it was established as the Nittany Lion Invitational in 1975, winning the tournament 28 times. Twenty Penn State golfers have medaled atop the leaderboard, the last was Cole Miller, a Nittany Lion senior from New Tripoli, Pennsylvania, in 2018.

The 2021 Rutherford Intercollegiate was the 44th edition of the tournament. The Nittany Lions won the championship, with a team score of 852. The 2020 event was not held after the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled all NCAA spring competitions.

R.B. “Pop” Rutherford, Sr.

"The Father of Penn State Golf"

The tournament became known as the Rutherford Intercollegiate in 1983 to honor R.B. “Pop” Rutherford Sr., the man known to the Nittany Lions as the “father of Penn State golf.”

Rutherford organized the first Penn State golf team in 1922 and coached it until 1949. R.B. Rutherford Jr. continued his father’s coaching tradition from 1950-1956 and furthered a legacy recalled each spring.

GROUNDBREAKING

PENN STATE GOLF 1996 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS Ninth in East Regional, Nittany Lions Appear in 1996 NCAA Finals Following a regular season that included three tournament titles, the Nittany Lions peaked at the end of the 1996 spring term. After finishing second at the Eastern Championships and sixth at the Big Ten Championships, Penn State surged at the NCAA East Regional, played on the Monster Course at the Concord Resort in Kiamesha Lake, N.Y.

Dirk Ayers

Facing the best teams in Eastern golf, the Nittany Lions came off the tee box with first-round ferocity, finishing in a five-way tie for seventh place after an opening round 310. Senior Adam Decker led with a two-over 74.

to the squad as a freshman walk-on. Seniors Dirk Ayers and Mike Banzhoff and sophomore Joey Chuasiriporn all finished with 75 for the final round and the three-round team total of 910 tied with Tennessee and Alabama.

In the second round, Penn State improved its team score by six strokes, but fell into a three-way tie for 15th — below the cut line that qualified the top 11 teams for the NCAA Finals. Decker fired a 71 to keep the Lions in contention.

The Lions’ berth in the Finals was not only monumental for Penn State, but for the entire Eastern region as the Lions became the first team in the relatively short history of both Districts I and II to reach the Finals.

In the final round, the Nittany Lions ripped apart the Concord course, making shot after pivotal shot in a miraculous run that ended with a 296 — the third-best score of the day — to tie for ninth place and a berth in the NCAA Finals.

For the first time since 1987, Penn State headed to the NCAA Finals, held at the challenging Honors Course in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Penn State played well, but failed to make the team cut after two rounds. Ayers led Penn State individually, making the individual cut and finishing in a tie for 47th place overall after an opening round 71. Penn State placed 29th overall as a team, which at the time was the top finish of any Big Ten team at the Finals.

Byron Clift, a junior, led the Lions with a final round 72. Decker shot a 74 to tie for second place on the individual leaderboard with a total 219, a monumental achievement for the senior, who came

Penn State 15th at NCAA Finals

The team registered a score of 300 in the NCAA Championships, for a tournament total of 289-291-290-300-1170. Eleven of the 15 squads carded their highest tournament score in the third round, as the Nittany Lions fell from a 13th place tie to their final position of 15th, by far the best NCAA finish in the program’s 82-year history.

Leon carded a 1-over 71 for a tournament total of 69-69-70-71-279 (-1). He finished the tournament in a sixth place tie overall and was one of just seven golfers to shoot par or better for the tournament.

In making the 15-team cut, Penn State defeated three of the nation’s top 15 teams in the process (No. 2 and defending national champion Clemson, No. 4 Arizona State and No. 10 TCU). It was the second week in a row the Nittany Lions defeated some of the nation’s top teams to close out a spectacular postseason.

Mark Leon golfed brilliantly throughout the NCAA Finals as all facets of his game were at a high level. Making the cut was a terrific achievement and very exciting for us as a team. I’m very proud we backed up our second-place finish at the regionals with a strong showing in the finals.

— HEAD COACH GREG NYE

Penn State Second at East Regional

”

The 2004 men’s golf team earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament after shocking the golf world with a second-place finish at the East Regional held in New Haven, Conn. The Nittany Lions fired a 10 over par 290 to hold fifth place after one round. Greg Pieczynski shot a one-over par 71 to help the Lions take a lead over five of the nation’s top 20 teams according to Golfweek/Sagarin rankings.

The squad ended the second day of NCAA East Regional competition in first place among the 27-team field. The Lions shot five-over par for a total score of 575. Pieczynski led the Lions in their five-man field firing a 71 for the second consecutive day to sit two strokes over par. He held a tie for ninth place individually, while Ted Neville shot a 70 to finish the second round 3-over in a tie for 19th place.

Penn State completed one of the greatest performances in program history on the final day of the tournament by finishing in second place in the field. The Nittany Lions, who entered the regional as the No. 19 seed, beat seven Top 20 teams to earn their first berth in the NCAA Finals since 1996. Pieczynski finished in a tie for fourth place after finishing with a total score of 211 (+1). Mark Leon shot a 216 (73-71-72), Marco Poccia shot a 219 (73-73-73), Neville had a 220 (73-70-77) and Jason Pannone shot a 226 (77-76-73).

“It was just an enormous effort,” said Penn State head coach Greg Nye. “We had played well at the Big Tens and last weekend at the Maxwell and just continued to play even better. When the pressure was on, we got better. After finishing the first round in fifth place, we proved we were more than up to the task on Friday and again today. We beat some great programs head-to-head.”

Miller Captures Regional’s Individual Title

Penn State finished fifth at the Washington Regional to secure its first appearance in the NCAA Championship since 2010 and fifth under the guidance of Nittany Lion head coach Greg Nye. Junior Cole Miller recorded his third consecutive sub-par round, a 3-under 68, to win the individual championship at 7-under, his fifth individual title of the 2016-17 and becoming the second Nittany Lion to win an NCAA Regional.

Freshman Ryan Davis matched Miller’s last two rounds of 69 and 68 to finish tied for eighth at 1-under.

No. 1 USC finished first as the only team under par at minus-3 with Kent State (+3), Florida State (+10), Alabama (+10) and the Lions (+11) advancing to the national championship.

“

We responded so well when Washington made a strong surge on the final nine, getting contributions from all five guys. That was fun to go at it that hard.

I have said it before, but this team has consistently displayed a resilience and fight all year.”

PENN STATE 2021-22 • MEN’S GOLF

PENN STATE UNIVERSITY

Penn State’s historic mission of teaching, research, and public service — launched under the most modest of circumstances more than 150 years ago — now reaches into virtually all parts of Pennsylvania. Consider, for example, that the University now has 24 campuses across the Commonwealth, putting a Penn State education within practical reach of nearly every Pennsylvanian. In fact, more than 95 percent of Pennsylvania residents live within a 30-mile radius of a Penn State campus and about 70 percent of Penn State’s undergraduates are Pennsylvania residents.

In the early 1900s, President Edwin E. Sparks supported a number of efforts to “carry the college to the people,” as he liked to say. Technical institutes were established in various locations statewide for engineering education, beginning with an evening school in Allentown in 1910. In 1912, Penn State helped create a system of county agents in agriculture and home economics. Today, the Penn State World Campus, which offers one curriculum at multiple access points to meet people where they are, builds on that outreach tradition.

Penn State is Pennsylvania’s largest nongovernmental employer and has employees and expenditures in every one of its 67 counties. The University generates a total economic impact across the Commonwealth that surpasses $11.6 billion annually and is consistently ranked among the top 1% of the world’s universities.

Following World War II, Penn State underwent unprecedented expansion, first to meet the needs of returning military veterans and later to accommodate the Baby Boom generation. Total enrollment at all Penn State campuses climbed to 40,000 by 1970.

Part of that impact is derived from Penn State’s research program, which brought more than $633 million in federal funds to Pennsylvania last year, and an additional $101 million from private industry. In addition, as part of its Invent Penn State initiative, the University has funded 21 innovation hubs, designed to bolster entrepreneurship and economic development in communities surrounding its campuses across Pennsylvania.

Penn State’s outreach and online programs — ranging from 4H to Cooperative Extension, from summer camps to public broadcasting — provide educational and service programs to more than a million Pennsylvania households annually.

The University’s presence throughout Pennsylvania today contrasts sharply with its humble beginnings. Chartered as a college of scientific agriculture, the institution was located in rural Centre County after James Irvin, a partner in the Centre Furnace iron works (remains of which can be seen today along East College Avenue), offered to donate 200 acres of farmland for a campus.

Founding President Evan Pugh wanted the fledgling institution to embody a new approach to higher education that blended classical studies with subjects that had practical value. He joined similar visionaries in other states in convincing Congress to pass the Morrill Land-Grant Act in 1862.

The act gave individual states tracts of federal land to sell; the proceeds supported colleges that agreed to include engineering, science and the liberal arts as well as agriculture in their course of studies. In 1863, the Pennsylvania legislature designated Penn State the Commonwealth’s sole land-grant institution. The lawmakers in effect bestowed on the privately incorporated college a public character. In return for state support, the institution assumed obligations of teaching, research and service that are normally associated with publicly owned land-grant universities in other states.

The University also emerged on the national scene as a research powerhouse in fields as diverse as dairy science, acoustics, psychology and diesel engineering. The expansion of research went hand in hand with a steady increase in the number of graduate students. The University awarded its first graduate degree — a master’s degree in scientific agriculture — in 1862, and the Graduate School was established in 1922.

But overall graduate enrollment remained modest until the 1950s, then swelled steadily. The Graduate School has awarded to date approximately 130,000 master’s, doctoral and other advanced degrees.

The University Park campus is Penn State’s administrative and research hub. In addition, there are 19 primarily undergraduate campuses; Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and the College of Medicine; the Pennsylvania College of Technology; Penn State Law; Dickinson Law; the Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies; and the Penn State World Campus.

To date, Penn State has awarded more than 909,000 degrees, hallmarks of an educational experience second to none in quality. In addition, Penn State alumni — including 371,000 in Pennsylvania alone — have job- and social-networking opportunities that no other college or university in the Commonwealth can surpass.

ATHLETICS LEADERSHIP

SANDY

BARBOUR VICE PRESIDENT FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS WAKE FOREST ’81 (B.S.) MASSACHUSETTS ’83 (M.S.) NORTHWESTERN ’91 (M.B.A) Recognized as one of the nation’s premier Athletic Directors, Sandy Barbour enters her eighth year as the dynamic leader of the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics program. With student success and comprehensive excellence as a steadfast focus, Barbour has helped the Nittany Lions continue to ascend and thrive as one of the nation’s most successful athletic departments.

Barbour began her passionate and effective leadership of the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics program in August 2014. President Eric J. Barron named Barbour the Nittany Lions’ ninth Director of Athletics after she served for 10 years as Director of Athletics at the University of California, Berkeley.

In February 2019, Barbour received a contract extension through August 31, 2023 and assumed the title of Penn State Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics.

“Sandy has consistently promoted excellence in intercollegiate athletics — in academics and athletic competitions, and she is widely hailed among the best athletic directors in the nation,” Barron said at the time of her contract extension. “She is a powerful advocate for those who wear the blue and white, and her leadership has help advance our shared vision of what intercollegiate athletics can be. I’m proud of our student-athletes, the coaches and staff, and I’m very pleased that Sandy will be able to lead them to even greater success.”

Leader of Premier Athletic Department in Academic, Athletic and Community Engagement One of the nation’s most highly-respected Athletic Directors, Barbour has more than 40 years of varied experiences as a collegiate administrator and coach, with a demonstrated record of championships, academic success, innovation, facility modernization and revenue growth.

Barbour directs one of the nation’s most comprehensive and successful athletic programs that boasts an NCAA Graduation Success Rate of 92 percent, while capturing 79 national championships and 116 Big Ten titles all-time. She oversees a broad-based program that supports approximately 800 students in 31 sports (16 men’s/15 women’s) and an Intercollegiate Athletics staff of more than 300 whose daily mission is preparing students for a lifetime of impact. Penn State’s 31 programs are tied for fourth-largest among all 130 FBS institutions.

During Barbour’s initial seven years of leadership in Happy Valley, Penn State student-athletes have consistently raised the bar and broken or tied school academic records, including the number of Academic All-Big Ten and Big Ten Distinguished Scholar recipients. A total of 140 Nittany Lion students graduated during the 2020 fall and 2021 spring semesters. A combined total of 1,064 student-athletes have earned their degrees during Barbour’s tenure.

The 2020-21 athletic year was unlike any others in the history of collegiate athletics. Barbour served as the co-chair of the medical subcommittee on

the Big Ten’s Return to Competition Task Force, which developed stringent medical protocols to ensure the health and safety of student-athletes while returning to sport. Despite the unprecedented circumstances, the Nittany Lion women’s soccer team claimed the Big Ten regular-season championship, wrestling earned a share of the Big Ten dual meet title, women’s hockey won its first CHA regular-season crown and men’s volleyball won the EIVA regular-season and tournament championships. Under Barbour’s direction, Penn State has won six NCAA Championships and 36 conference crowns.

In addition to the competitive and academic achievements, Barbour has taken pride in the diversity and inclusion work done by the department and its student-athletes. In 2020-21, Barbour set action steps for intercollegiate athletics to continue the work of fostering and advancing a diverse, inclusive and respectful environment where staff, coaches, student-athletes and all other members of the Penn State family feel supported. Penn State United was introduced to construct a culture of respect, appreciation and empathy for all differences, while recognizing we are rooted in diversity, shared experience and hope. Under Barbour, Penn State Athletics’ Advisory Council for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (ACDEI) has expanded its work, providing diversity and inclusion resources to staff and studentathletes, and will continue Barbour’s action steps by listening, taking action and supporting growth and change.

Nittany Lions Students are the “Why” for Penn State Athletics Soon after her arrival at Penn State, Barbour began to implement her vision for Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics and creating conditions for success for the department’s purpose and “Why” – the more than 800 Nittany Lion student-athletes.

Six months into her tenure, Barbour announced a reorganization of ICA that introduced a more vertical structure to encourage communication and collaboration across functional units and sports. Four administrative divisions were formed: student-athlete performance, health and welfare; external relations and operations, administration and business and finance.

In 2015, Penn State Athletics launched a wide-ranging strategic planning process and conducted a series of town hall meetings. Students, faculty and staff, alumni, donors and the public were presented with the initial findings and were presented with an opportunity to provide feedback. The project helped determine strategies and priorities for the formalized strategic plan.

Barbour also oversees a comprehensive facilities master plan, which was announced in March 2017. Penn State partnered with Populous, one of the world’s leading architecture and sport event planning firms, to collaborate on developing a comprehensive facilities master plan to provide a 20-year road map for addressing current and long-term needs for all of the Nittany Lions’ facilities (competition, practice, performance enhancement and training).Less than two months after the facilities master plan was unveiled in 2017, Penn State announced a $3.55 million gift from men’s lacrosse letterman and graduate Ken Panzer and his business partner, Jordan Kaplan, to launch construction on a new lacrosse facility. The project transformed the Penn State Lacrosse Field into one of the top lacrosse venues in the nation when Panzer Stadium opened to rave reviews in 2019.Since the first Lasch Football Building renovation project was announced in January 2015, Barbour has helped raise more than $32 million for the Football Excellence Fund to finance several phased upgrades of the football facilities, including a $48.5 million phase, currently under construction and slated for completion in time for the 2022 season.

During Barbour’s tenure, Penn State Athletics has had four of the top seven fundraising years in department history. Barbour initiated the additional utilization of ICA’s physical assets, resulting in the first NHL pre-season games in Pegula Ice Arena and the initial concert in Beaver Stadium – the Happy Valley Jam, featuring Blake Shelton, in July 2017. Pegula Ice Arena has also hosted three NHL preseason contests, all featuring the Buffalo Sabres, since 2016.
