t’s loud, it’s intense and it’s home to one of the most respected women’s volleyball programs in the country.

The Kennedy Sports and Recreation Center has been the home of Juniata volleyball since the program’s founding in 1977. With permanent seating for 950 and a total seating capacity of 1,350 with auxiliary seating, Kennedy gets packed with students and fans during volleyball matches.

The upper mezzanine allows fans to get different perspectives on play and enhances the fan experience. The mezzanine also helps trap sound at floor level, intensifying the volume.

If you look to the ceiling, you’ll see the National Championship banners flying proudly as a reminder to everyone the history of excellence that the program has.

All of this combines to give Juniata a huge home court advantage. Over the program’s entire history, Juniata has lost just 39 matches on the Kennedy Sports and Recreation Center court.

hen the Kennedy Sports + Recreation Center was completed in 1983, the Juniata College campus had an athletic facility to match any in the Middle Atlantic Conference.

During the summer of 1997, the addition of the F. Samuel and Martha A. Brumbaugh Strength and Fitness Center on the lower level of the Center catapulted the Kennedy Sports + Recreation Center onto a short list of the finest NCAA Division III facilities in the nation.

In order to meet the growing demands of the student-athletes and community using the center, the Brumbaugh Center underwent an expansion in the summer of 2015. The two walls between the fitness center and the mat room were knocked

down and two new walls went up to connect the two rooms. This expansion added roughly 600 square feet to the center. The new weight room area and the four additional team fitness areas amount to approximately 10,000 square feet.

Inside the main center are a number of cardiovascular machines, including tredmills, ellipticals, stairsteppers and bikes. Free weights and bodyweight exercise equipment are set up according to the many workout plans head strength and conditioning coach Doug SMith has developed for the student-athletes.

“The larger space helps section out the weight room better,” Smith said. “We have between seven and nine different areas that have their own focuses, whether it

be strength, power, etc. The larger space makes training a lot safer for all the athletes.”

The expanded fitness center will also be put to good use by community members and the faculty. Having access to a stateof-the-art facility is beneficial to all those looking to improve their health and fitness.

The recent renovations were made possible by the support of community members Ed and Carol Anderson. Ed regularly uses the facility and saw an opportunity to help those in the Huntingdon area.

The process took just over one month to complete. First, the hallway was expanded.

Then as the new walls were going up, new lighting was being installed. Eventually the new flooring came in and the redesign came. Under the direction of Coach Smith, the center was reorganized into different focus areas.

“The renovation keeps us competitive,” Smith said. “Health and fitness is the trend right now and having an upgraded facility is important in helping us grow as a community and a college.”

When Sam and Martha Brumbaugh gave their gift to Juniata College, the fitness center became recognized as one of the top training facilities in the area. Because of his expert knowledge in strength and conditioning, Coach Smith is always looking for new ways to help the community and the Juniata studentathletes train in a more effective and safe way. The latest renovation has given him a space he feels will greatly benefit all those that come through the door.

volleyball in the 2016-17 season. The three-time Landmark Conference Coach of the Year has continued to make Juniata one of the top programs in the country since taking over the program from her mentor and former coach, Larry Bock.

In 2015-16, Pavlik guided her team to their ninth consecutive Landmark Conference Championship title, their 35th straight NCAA tournament appearance, an NCAA Regional finals appearance and six weeks at the top of the AVCA Division III Coaches Top 25 Poll.

The Eagles were undefeated last season until they faced Division II’s Clarion University and fell 3-2 in late September.

Over her first five seasons she has amassed an impressive 144-36 overall record (.800 winning percentage).

Pavlik has extended the Eagles’ alltime winning streak against Landmark Conference opponents to 73-0.

Under Pavlik’s leadership, Juniata has continued its streak of being the only program to qualify for every Division III women’s volleyball championship.

In her 15 seasons as assistant and later associate head coach, the Eagles amassed a 493-63 record, and won two NCAA Division III national championship titles (2004 and 2006).

The 2004 championship is a moment that will always stay with Pavlik.

“We had Erin Dodson with us, who was struggling with brain cancer at the time,” Pavlik said. “She was able to be there.

The thing that sticks out to me, every bit as much as hoisting up that trophy, is going to her room to see her. That one will forever be burned into my memory.”

“The better you get at being comfortable in uncomfortable situations, the more you grow,” Pavlik said. “I want them to take away perseverance, toughness and all the things that are going to set them up to be successful later in life.”

During her tenure with Juniata women’s volleyball, the Eagles have produced 29 All-Americans, with 49 All-America certificates.

Pavlik also served as an assistant coach with the Juniata men’s volleyball program from 1998 through 2001.

The Eagles captured their first Molten Division III Invitational title in 1998 with Pavlik as an assistant coach, as well as the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA) Division III crown. Juniata captured its second EIVA Division III title in 1999, while placing fourth at the Molten Invitational.

A 1995 graduate of Juniata College with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology, Pavlik earned AVCA Firstteam All-America honors in 1992, 1993, and 1994. She is a 2005 inductee into the Juniata College Sports Hall of Fame, and was one of six former collegiate players named to the NCAA Division III Women’s Volleyball Silver Anniversary Team.

asey Dale enters his third season as the assistant coach for the women’s volleyball team at Juniata College.

In his first season, Dale helped the team to a 28-8 record, a Landmark Championship and an NCAA tournament appearance.

One of the many reasons Dale was excited to return to Juniata was because of the community surrounding the college.

“I knew Juniata would still be very similar, in terms of people that still worked here, to what it was like when I graduated,” Dale said. “The people are what makes Juniata such a special place.”

Now that he’s got his first year as an assistant coach for the Eagles under his belt, Dale hopes he can continue to make an impact on the student-athletes.

“One of the things I think I need to work on is building better connections with the players,” Dale said. “Not just showing up to practice and giving them direction on the court but making the effort to be there early before practices just to see how their day is going and things like that.”

Before returning to his alma mater, Dale spent two seasons as an assistant coach with Washington and Lee University’s women’s volleyball team and then five seasons as the head coach at Transylvania University.

At Transylvania, Casey finished his first season in seventh in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) before leading the program to its first ever league title in 2010 and repeating in 2011 and 2012. He was named HCAC Coach of the Year in 2010 and was twice a recipient of the American Volleyball Coaches Association Thirty Under 30 award that recognizes the top 30 coaches in the country under the age of thirty, in 2010 and 2011.

The 2007 graduate served as a studentassistant with Juniata women’s team for two years including the teams’ second NCAA Division III National Championship in 2006.

“It was very refreshing to come back into an atmosphere where the players dedicate themselves to the program and their academics,” Dale said.

“For the most part, they all have the same goal

and that’s to win a national championship. It’s great to see that type of focus and attitude.”

During Dale’s time with the Pioneers he coached 19 players to All-HCAC honors, seven All-Freshman HCAC team members, and the 2010 HCAC Defensive Player of the Year. The team accumulated an overall record of 103-65 under Dale’s tutelage and an HCAC record of 34-11. Dale also served as a physical education coach in both weight training and volleyball at Transylvania and Washington and Lee.

A

s one of the most respected strength and conditioning coaches in the country, Juniata College has a true asset with Doug Smith. Coach Smith has been a full-time strength coach at Juniata since 1997 and has built a reputation for himself and the program that demands respect.

He was named the 2015 National Strength and Conditioning Association’s Coach of the Year and is the director of one of the most prestigious Strength and Conditioning Clinics in the country.

THE TEAM 2015 REVIEW THE TRADITION ABOUT JUNIATA

The Juniata women’s volleyball team continued their dominance in the Landmark Conference in 2015 as they won their ninth straight conference title and made their 35th straight NCAA tournament appearance. The Eagles hosted an NCAA Tournament Regional and were defeated by eventual National Runner-Up Wittenberg 3-1 in the finals.

All the pieces are in place for another conference title and 36th NCAA Tournament qualification this season. Juniata returns a solid veteran group in 2016 led by senior, Landmark Conference Player of the Year, and AVCA First Teamer Kelly Reynolds (Upper Saint Clair, Pa./Upper Saint Clair). Reynolds totaled 1,229 assists and averaged just over 11 assists per set a year ago for JC. Fellow seniors Nakita Gearhart (Waynesboro, Pa./GreencastleAntrim) and Mar-Jana Phillips (Carson, Calif./Rolling Hills Prep) also return. Gearhart was the MVP of the Landmark Tournament for the second straight year. She was First Team All-Region and an AVCA Third Teamer. Phillips was named to the Landmark Second Team. Junior Megan Moroney (Mentor, Ohio/Mentor) led the Eagles in total blocks (93) and kills (329) and is primed to enjoy another stellar year. Sophomore Katie Byrne (Annapolis, Md./Broadneck), last year’s Landmark Rookie of the Year, will look to build on her impressive freshman year as her 46 service aces and 538 digs were a team high.

don’t have competition in,” said head coach Heather Pavlik, who enters her sixth season at the helm of the program. “That should make everybody better. Those freshmen right now have had a pretty steep learning curve. They are picking up really quickly.”

Motivation for this team is not difficult to come by. “A big thing for us that we talk about every day in practice is the idea of being process oriented instead of results oriented,” stated Pavlik. “Each and every day is an opportunity to get better. Nobody stays the same from day to day.”

The Eagles were ranked third in the American Volleyball Coaches Association Preseason Poll. Juniata plays seven teams this season that were ranked in the poll. “The best way to prepare for teams at the end of the year is to play them though the year,” noted Pavlik. “I don’t think we have ever been afraid of competition. We will play anybody, anytime, any place.”

Juniata will expect to receive a tougher battle in the Landmark Conference. “I think Susquehanna has got a really nice team,” she said. “I thought in the conference championship they played extremely well. Kudos to them. I think they were well prepared and played well. Some of our conference members are doing the right thing and playing really good schedules which has been a change than in the years past. That should be a motivator for us.”

This year’s freshman class of Rachel Boe (San Carlos, Calif./Saint Francis), Deija Danhi (Ashburn, Va./Stone Bridge), Korin Koehler (Whitehall, Pa./Whitehall), Megan Conger (Rockville, Md./Our Lady of Good Counsel), and Morgan Edwards (Lancaster, Pa./Penn Manor) will all be expected to make contributions throughout the season. “There isn’t a single position on our floor that we

2015 REVIEW THE TRADITION ABOUT JUNIATA

The Juniata women’s volleyball team wasted no time establishing themselves as the team to watch in 2015. Big wins over Wittenberg and Christopher Newport boosted the undefeated Eagles to No. 1 by week four. It was the first time since 2010 that the program had received the top ranking. The Eagles topped the AVCA poll four weeks out of the season and never fell below No.5, aside from their No. 10 preseason ranking.

Juniata proved to be a dominating force in 2015 and finished the season with a 33-3 record. They earned their ninth Landmark Conference Championship title with a 3-2 victory over Susquehanna. The Crusaders were at match point 14-10 but, with the crowd roaring behind them, the Eagles took the fifth set 18-16 to win the match. Nakita Gearhart was named tournament MVP for back-to-back seasons. By finishing the regular season with top rankings in the region, Juniata earned the right to host the NCAA Regional Championships.

With 3-0 victories over Franciscan and Case Western Reserve in the first two rounds, the Eagles found themselves against a familiar foe in the Regional Finals. The Tigers edged Juniata out 25-21 in the first set before commanding the second set 25-14. For the second time that season, the Eagles were looking at a 2-0 deficit to Wittenberg. This time they were fighting for much more. Juniata fired back and took the third set 25-14.

In the fourth set, the two battled back and forth for the upperhand until, ultimately, Wittenberg took the victory 25-22 for the Regional Championship.

Postseason awards flew in for Juniata. Kelly Reynolds was named Landmark Conference Player of the Year and Katie Byrne was named Landmark Rookie of the Year. Reynolds, Gearhart and Megan Moroney were selected to the First Team All-Landmark while Byrne, Kristin Collins and Mar-Jana Phillips were named to the Second Team All-Landmark. Byrne, Gearhart, Moroney and Reynolds received AVCA All-Region selections.

Additionally, Byrne was named the AVCA’s Regional Freshman of the Year.

Reynolds was named to the AVCA’s First Team All-America, Moroney to the Second Team and Gearhart to the Third. Juniata now totals 43 All-Americans with 68 certificates in program history.

The Landmark Conference is a Division III athletics conference which was formed in the winter of 2005 in an effort to bring together colleges and universities from the mid-atlantic region with similar philosophies regarding the role of athletics as part of the overall collegiate experience.

On November 30, 2006 it was announced that The Catholic University of America, Drew University, Goucher College, Juniata College, Moravian College, Susquehanna University and The United States Merchant Marine Academy had formed a soon-to-be-named Division III conference, with the University of Scranton becoming the eighth member in November of 2006. The conference began competition in September 2007. In July of 2014, Elizabethtown College became the ninth full member of the league. The United States Merchant Marine Academy left the conference in 2016, returning the size of the conference to eight.

The most literal inspiration for the Landmark Conference’s name comes from the many well-known physical landmarks of the Mid-Atlantic region encompassed by the conference. The name also reflects the significance of the institutions’ decision to align themselves with other colleges and universities of similar size, educational philosophies, and high academic standards. It highlights the Landmark Conference’s intention to stand out not only in

athletics, but also in academics, emphasizing educational achievement and the important role played by athletics in the undergraduate experience.

Demonstrating the Landmark Conference’s dedication to helping studentathletes balance their obligations and excel across disciplines, conference leaders have already decided to hold long-distance games only on weekends, minimizing the time student-athletes will have to spend away from class.

The conference institutions boast some of the best academic reputations in the region, and the eight programs have combined to produce numerous Academic All-Americans and Academic All-District selections in recent years.

Juniata’s membership in the Landmark ended its nearly 80-year affiliation with the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Corporation and the Commonwealth Conference.

The conference sponsors championships in field hockey, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball and men’s and women’s cross country in the fall, men’s and women’s basketball, swimming and diving and men’s and women’s indoor track and field during the winter and baseball, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s outdoor track in the spring. The Landmark features perennial national powers in nearly every sport including men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball and will provide all student-athletes with high-level competition.

The conference’s eight institutions are spread throughout the mid-atlantic region and that geographic diversity creates even greater opportunity for growth for the Landmark’s student-athletes.

THE TRADITION ABOUT JUNIATA

Juniata overcomes history, Bears to win national title From the Altoona Mirror, Nov. 28, 2004 ROCHESTER, Minn. – The looks on the faces of the Juniata College women’s volleyball team as well as the smile flashed by coach Larry Bock suggest that believe it or not, it was worth the wait.

The 24-year wait finally ended in Rochester, Minn., Saturday night as the Juniata College women’s volleyball team captured its first Division III National Championship on the strength of a 3-0 victory over Washington University (Mo.).

Juniata finished the season with a record of 37-3, while Washington finished 32-7. Juniata claimed the match by game scores of 30-27, 3027, and 30-28.

After years of heart-breaking defeats and near-misses, Juniata captured the elusive national title on its 19th trip to the national semifinals, and its fifth appearance in the national championship match. In typical fashion, Bock deflected the attention and was understated following the match.

“For 28 years I’ve come back to these press conferences and have had to come from a locker room with girls who were crying – this is much better,” Bock said. “I couldn’t feel better about the school I work for and for this team, which deserves all the credit. I also have to pass the credit to my assistant coach Heather Pavlik – I’ve been riding her shoulders for a number of years.”

As it has throughout the season, Juniata played well early and kept things tight. Juniata took the lead on the serving of Tournament MVP Carli Dale. Washington tied the score late at 27, but Juniata followed with kills from Katie Laucks and Lindsey Habel, then an ace from Laucks to seal the win.

“We wanted to get off to a good start and prove that we were going to be annoying and hard to get rid of,” Bock said. “We were able to do that, and then just kept serving and passing well. We did a good job with that.”

Game two was controlled by Juniata most of the way. Juniata led by as many as five, including a late 22-17 edge.

It was Washington that held the lead throughout much of the deciding game. A kill from Stephanie Kines tied the match at 14. The two teams then traded side outs, with a block from Kines finally swinging the lead to 22-20 in favor of Juniata. The Eagles kept the lead at two points down the stretch, until the Bears knotted

the match at 25 with a kill from Emilie Walk.

Katie Charles and Laucks followed with back-toback kills, then Habel had a pair of finishes down the stretch, including the match clincher.

“We wanted to contain their right side hitter (Whitney Smith) and we were able to do a pretty good job with that,” Bock said. “That’s a classy program at Washington, and it was nice to be able to get one against them. It felt right to have it be a Juniata-Washington match for the championship.”

“Juniata’s back court defense was the difference,” Washington Head Coach Rich Luenemann said. “They played defense at the best level of any Division III team. If there’s anyone in America that it was okay to lose to, it was Larry Bock.”

championship match. The Bears claimed victories in 1993 and 1996. But Juniata had claimed the last two meetings against Washington, including a 3-0 victory at Washington this year. Juniata ends the year having won 20 consecutive matches.

The victory capped an emotional season for Juniata which saw the team enjoy several program firsts, but also deal with the serious illness of teammate Erin Dodson of Altoona.

Dodson, who was stricken with brain cancer early in the year, made the trip to Rochester to be with her teammates. The Eagles were looking to earn that elusive title for themselves, but also for their legendary coach.

“We didn’t just do this for our team,” Kines said. “We did it for Larry and for every former Juniata volleyball player that has gone through the program.”

Eagles women’s volleyball claims second Division III national title

THE TRADITION ABOUT JUNIATA

By Joel Cookson, Juniata Sports Information Director SALEM, Va. – It took the Juniata College women’s volleyball team 24 trips to the NCAA Tournament before winning the program’s first national championship, which the Eagles accomplished in 2004. Championship number two came much more quickly as Juniata overcame a two-games-to-one deficit to claim a 3-2 win over Washington University (Mo.) in the NCAA Division III Championship match to claim the program’s second Division III national championship Saturday night in Salem, Va. Juniata finishes the season with a record of 41-1 while Washington ends the year 38-2.

After winning game one, the Eagles dropped games two and three behind an offensive assault from Washington. But the Eagles found the answers in games four and five, rallying late in game four and then pulling ahead early in game five to earn the win by scores of 30-27, 20-30, 22-30, 30-27, 15-10.

“Washington is just a wonderful team,” Juniata College Head Coach Larry Bock said.

“We’re very fortunate to have won a great match against a wonderful team.”

Juniata was led offensively by seniors Stephanie Kines and Rachael Schatz, along with sophomore Amber Thomas. Kines knocked out a career-high 26 kills in her final collegiate match while hitting .412. Her efforts earned her a spot on the NCAA Division III All-Tournament team. Thomas produced 25 kills for Juniata along with 14 digs, as was selected as the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament. Schatz knocked out 21 kills while adding 12 digs in her final contest.

Despite producing just four blocks as a team in the match, and getting outblocked 18-4 by the Bears, Juniata’s offense carried the day. The Eagles pounded out 90 kills in the contest to help overcome a efficient Washington offense that produced 73 kills and hit .312 as a team.

Beth Kozak passed out a career-high 75 assists in the match and added 13 digs en route to earning All-Tournament Team recognition.

Juniata turned the momentum of the match midway through game four, and carried that into the decisive fifth game. Trailing 24-20 in game four after a kill from Nikki Morrison, Juniata went on a 4-1 run to pull within one Juniata College 2016 Women’s Volleyball

spurred by two kills from Schatz. Strong serving from Kozak sparked another run with a kill from Kines giving Juniata its first lead of the game, 27-26, and then another kills from Kines and one from Schatz gave Juniata the 30-27 win.

Then in the decisive game five, the Eagles turned up the defense as an early double block from Thomas and Erin Albert and then a solo block from Kines followed by kills from Thomas and Schatz put Juniata up 8-6. Two more kills from Kines and Schatz followed by an ace from Kozak made it 13-8 before Washington responded with a kill from Emilie Walk and a double block from Walk and Haleigh Spencer to tighten the game.

Kines then stepped up with a huge play as she posted her second block of the game, a solo stuff that moved Juniata to match point, and then Thomas closed the victory with her 25th kill.

Defensively for the Eagles, Megan Sollenberger brought up a team-high 23 digs as Juniata finished with 84 digs to Washington’s 76. Also producing offensively for Juniata in the match were Albert, who had seven finishes, and Paige Johnston who notched seven kills.

After winning its first national championship in its fifth appearance in the championship match in 2004, the Eagles have now earned two Division III titles and one runner-up finish in the past three seasons. Juniata’s 41 wins mark the first time since 1997 that the Eagles have gone past 40 victories in a season.

ntercollegiate athletics came to Juniata College in 1903, when the trustees gave students permission to form teams in baseball, track, tennis, and basketball. The College hosted its first competition on June 5 of that year, when the Blue and Gold hosted Susquehanna University in a track and field meet.

Since then, Juniata student-athletes have excelled in every sport in which the Blue and Gold have taken to the court or the field. Juniata football dominated Pennsylvania through the 1950’s, going three seasons without losing a game, culminating with an appearance in the Tangerine Bowl to close out the 1955 season.

The then-Indians carried that success into the early-70s, playing in the inaugural NCAA Division III championship game, the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl, in 1973.

In more recent years, Juniata won its first NCAA Division III championships with women’s volleyball titles in 2004 and 2006.

Men’s volleyball has won six Molten Division III Invitational titles, including three in a row from 2004 to 2006, giving Juniata teams eight Division III championships to date. Field hockey and women’s basketball have each advanced to NCAA championship play in the 2000s, with men’s tennis becoming the latest team last spring. The Blue and Gold have won 14 conference championships since the formation of the Landmark Conference in 2007.
