Head Coach Skip Steffey The 2009-10 season marked the sixth year for Skip Steffey as head coach of the women’s golf team. He was named the GLVC Coach of the Year in 200809. In 2009-10 he helped a starting five featuring four freshmen to a sixth place finish at the GLVC Championship. During the 2008-09 season two Flyers finished in the top 10 at the GLVC Championship. Amy Sachs earned All-GLVC honors while Jamie Siedlaczek missed all-conference accolades by just one stroke, tying for eighth. Sachs was then selected to compete as an individual in the Super Regional. Siedlaczek, who won Lewis’ first women’s golfer of the month award in October of 2008, took home a special Lewis honor at the end of the school year. She was earned Lewis’ Female Senior Student-Athlete Award. The annual honor goes to the studentathlete with the best overall grade-point average. “I hope to continue to create a team atmosphere that is both competitive and family-like,” said Steffey, a member of the National Golf Coaches Association. “I believe Lewis can draw outstanding student athletes and compete for conference and national titles in a short period of time. “Our goal is to field a highly competitive team of outstanding students who enjoy the competition that Division II golf can present, while still focusing on academics.” In 1971, Steffey earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education (English minor) and K-12 teaching accreditation at Texas Christian University. He was a member of the golf team, dormitory council president in 1970 and a graduate assistant golf instructor in 1971. A resident of Mokena, Steffey and his wife, Karen, who is a 1997 Lewis graduate and played two seasons for the Flyer women’s golf team and was a two-time Academic All-GLVC selection. She is a reading specialist at Liberty Junior High School in Burbank. The Steffeys are parents of a son, Tres, and a daughter Kim. Tres is a 2004 sport management graduate of Lewis where he played four years on the Flyers’ men’s golf team and twice earned All-American Scholar recognition from the Golf Coaches Association of America. He is a practicing attorney working in real estate tax reduction. Kim is a 2006 graduate of Western Illinois University where she was a Summa Cum Laude graduate in exercise science and kinesiology. She is a co-owner and instructor/coach at Gym Kinetics Gymnastics located in Mokena, Ill. 3

2011 Season Preview It was a busy fall season for the Lewis University women’s golf team as the Flyers competed in six events and placed in the top-ten in all six competitions. Seventh year head coach Skip Steffey knows that this team is young but believes the work over the winter will pay off this spring. “While we had three top-five and six top-ten finishes as a team, we are not satisfied,” Steffey said. “In each of those tournaments we should have placed three to five spots higher with a more consistent performance from our three, four and five players-just one shot per player per round would have moved us up at least two spots in each event. “We are a young team, with four of our five top players being sophomores and juniors, so the level of consistency has not been where we need to be at in a very strong East Region,” Steffey said. “Hopefully the strong conditioning and indoor work we have done in the winter will result in more consistent performances by the sophomores and possibly one of the seniors will step-up and help take us to the NCAA Regionals.” The 2010 Flyers finished in sixth place in the 2010 Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament and Steffey knows this year’s team can improve on that finish but will need to pass some of the GLVC powers to move up. “We expect to move up in the GLVC standings this year and improve on our sixth place finish last year,” Steffey added. “Again it will fall on everyone to maximize their potential at the right time for us to break into the top four in our conference, where four teams are ranked in the top 35 in the country. “We must beat Southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky in order to move up into the top four.“ The Flyers will look to senior captain Courtney Kellogg as a team leader this spring. Kellogg was fourth on the team in scoring with an 89.6. “Courtney Kellogg is our team leader and is doing a fine job of leading the team,” Steffey said. “She is working hard to make her last semester of college golf a memorable one and is hoping to put some consistent scores on the board this spring to help the team to a high finish in conference and a spot in the NCAA Regionals.” Senior Courtney Everett will also be look to for leadership as well as making in impact in the top five for the Flyers. Everett competed in six of 10 events in the fall and averaged an even 90. “Courtney Everett would like to make the spring semester her best so far and help push the team up the board in conference and possibly even into the NCAA Tournament.” Junior Leila Marquet led the Flyers with an 80.9 scoring average in the fall including winning the Lady Triton Invitational in October. Marquet also finished with four top ten finishes. “Leila’s win at UMSL showed the team that we have the horses to compete and hopefully the team will be up to the challenge. “She is close to playing at the level we expected when she came to us from Webber International and has an outstanding chance to help lead us to the NCAA Tournament and qualify on her own if she continues the play she displayed in October.” Leading the sophomore class is Nicole Tucker who was second on the team in scoring in the fall with an 81.3 with two top five finishes and three top ten finishes. “Nicole has just scratched the surface of talent that she has in golf and I expect her to play at a higher level this spring than she has the previous three semesters,” Steffey continued. “She is capable of leading this team in every way, including taking us to the NCAA Regionals. “Leila and Nicole are clearly the ‘on-course’ leaders and will drive to help the other players reach their potential as well.” Rounding out the sophomore class for Lewis are Liz Zimmer, Carly Shapiro and Vanessa Phillips. The three averaged 88.9, 92.7 and 94.3, respectively. “These three sophomores and the two seniors hold the key to our success this spring and we need two or three of these five to step up and play at a consistent level to shoot team scores that will make us competitive within the conference and region.” Steffey said. The new addition to the Flyers is transfer Danielle Coffman from Carthage College. Coffman will redshirt the spring season in preparation for the years to come. “While Danielle is sitting out the semester, she figures to be a key member of our team in 2011-12,” Steffey said. “She has played some outstanding rounds before coming to Lewis and we look forward to her performance next year.”

HISTORY
Founded in 1932 under the direction of the Chicago Archdiocese and Bishop Bernard J. Sheil, Lewis began as the Holy Name Technical School, a school for boys and was established on 170 acres of farmland donated by Michael and Frances Fitzpatrick of Lockport. Aviation technology became the special emphasis of instruction and the origin of today’s highly regarded Department of Aviation and Transportation Studies. During World War II, hundreds of Navy flight instructors were trained at Lewis. In 1952, the school
was renamed the Lewis College of Science and Technology and granted its first baccalaureate degrees. In 1960, the De La Salle Christian Brothers - members of a 328-year-old religious order devoted exclusively to teaching and named after Saint John Baptist de La Salle, their founder and Patron Saint of Educators – assumed direction of the institution. Today, with growing enrollment, outstanding programs, experienced faculty and motivated students, Lewis University is recognized as one of the finest, mid-sized, comprehensive Catholic universities in the country.

LEWIS UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS DIRECTOR DAN SCHUMACHER When Dan Schumacher was hired as Lewis University’s Director of Athletics in June of 2006, the Chicago native knew the heights that the Flyers Athletics program could reach as a department. With great vision comes great expectations, and Schumacher and the Flyers have most certainly delivered. Since his arrival, Lewis has won five regular-season Great Lakes Valley Conference championships and nine GLVC Tournament championships, while making appearances in 12 NCAA Tournaments, including the men’s soccer team’s run to the ‘Final Four’ in 2009. While the Flyers have made improvements on the field, the fields have also been improved during Schumacher’s tenure, as there has been over $500,000 worth of facility upgrades on the Romeoville campus. Schumacher helped speed up the facility upgrade timeline by forming the Varsity Club, an organized,
www.LewisFlyers.com
non-profit fundraising arm of the Lewis University Athletic Department that supports small-scale capital improvements. Neil Carey Arena, home of both basketball and volleyball teams, has seen the most upgrades as it now features a new floor, scoreboards, a video board, island baskets and retractable bleachers which has increased the seating to over 1,000. Both the men’s and women’s swimming teams have directly benefitted from Schumacher’s efforts, as the Lewis Swimming Pool now has a state-of-the-art scoring system which has allowed the program to increase its home schedule. The locker rooms in Neil Carey Arena have been remodeled and are now equipped with flat screen televisions. Lewis now has the ability to video stream all of their home basketball games and volleyball matches from the Arena on www.LewisFlyers.com. Schumacher has also helped make the John F. Kennedy Sports Center become more ‘Flyer Friendly’, as the hallways proudly display Lewis Athletics Artwork and each office has furniture that has the Lewis Flyers Athletics logo emblazoned on it. The Athletic Training room has been remodeled and now holds custom tables, cabinets, flooring and an ice machine. Outside the JFK Sports Center, the Lewis softball team now has new dugouts, a new press box and a custom windscreen for the outfield fence, while the outfield fence of Brennan Field, home of the Flyer baseball team, now has a custom windscreen as well. On the docket for both fields are brand new Daktronics scoreboards, which are slated to be finished by the 2011 season. What Schumacher is most proud of, however, is the performance of his student-athletes in the classroom. In the past three years, the graduation rate for Lewis student-athletes has risen from 60% to as high as 86%, while the Flyers’ Academic Success Rate (ASR) has peaked at a remarkable 98%, Schumacher has brought along seven new head
coaches, including women’s volleyball coach Lorelee Smith and men’s basketball coach Scott Trost. Smith has won two Great Lakes Valley Conference regular season championships, along with two GLVC Tournament championships while losing just 17 matches in three seasons. In his second season as the head coach, Trost led the Flyers to 20 wins for just the 14th time in school history, as well as an appearance in the GLVC Tournament finals and a berth in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2004. A 1986 Carl Sandburg High School graduate, Schumacher was responsible for the financial administration of Winona State athletics. Among his duties were marketing and promotions, development, external relations, corporate relations, facilities oversight, budgeting and NCAA compliance. Schumacher was the primary catalyst of a two-year campaign that generated $3 million, through private donations and newly developed athletics department revenue channels, for major improvements to Winona State’s soccer, football, baseball, softball and basketball facilities. He also spearheaded a project that transformed a $42,000 annual corporate sponsorship program into an annual corporate/external relations program that generates $500,000 in scholarships for Winona State athletics and the WSU Foundation. Schumacher spent seven years with Conseco Finance Corporation prior to joining the Winona State staff, serving as Senior Credit Manager from 1995-98 and as Vice President from 1998-2002. He was a Branch Manager for TCF Bank and Mortgage Corporation in Minneapolis from 1990-95. Schumacher earned a bachelor’s degree in public relations (business administration minor) in 1989 and a master’s degree in educational/school administration in 2005, both at Winona State. As a member of the WSU football team, he garnered All-America honors and served two seasons as a team captain. Schumacher and wife Kristin are the parents of daughter Kasey (15) and sons Jack (12) and Declan (8).
