Dr. Fiorentino has been active in numerous leadership roles on campus, helping to secure AACSB International accreditation for the School of Business; developing off-campus academic centers, including the Graduate Center in West Goshen Township; and working with faculty and supporters to create the Cottrell Entrepreneurial Leadership Center. Dr. Fiorentino also spearheaded the development of the Center for Community Solutions, which links business and civic leaders with appropriate University faculty and staff. His responsibilities in his last position included University operations at the State System’s Center City Philadelphia site.

Dr. Fiorentino is married to WCU alumnae, Dr. Susan Fiorentino, ’86, a Professor in the Management Department at West Chester University where she is currently serving as Coordinator for the Master of Science in Human Resource Management program. The Fiorentinos have three children: Greg, a software engineer and WCU alum; Diana Marlin, a WCU grad and registered dietitian; and Jeff, a Penn State University graduate.

WILMINGTON

(0-3)

Head Coach: Kerry Jenkins

Career Record: (121-223)

Opening Tip...Off to a 2-0 start for the time since the 2017-18 season, West Chester will look to accomplish something it has not done since head coach Kiera Wooden’s first season in 2014-15, start the year a perfect 3-0. In 2014-15, West Chester won its first eight games of the season before being tripped up by Gannon, eventually reaching the PSAC Championship game at the end of that season and concluding the year with 24 wins after an NCAA Tournament loss by an 88-85 final to West Liberty. West Chester appears well-positioned to accomplish this 3-0 start in 2023-24, facing off against a winless Wilmington team whom the Golden Rams have topped in each of the first 11 meetings.

WCU Women’s Basketball Notes ... West Chester embarks upon the 2023-24 season following a 2022-23 campaign, which saw the team play to a record of 24-9 overall and 18-4 in league play, culminating in the team earning a share of its first Eastern Division title since 2018. The Golden Rams returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2018 season, recording its first NCAA Tournament victory in 20 years with an 80-67 win over Cal before advancing to its first Regional Final in program history against Glenville State to conclude the 2022-23 season. To begin the 2023-24 season, the 13th-ranked Golden Rams earned a pair of victories over CIAA foes Elizabeth City State University on Saturday night and Livingstone on Sunday afternoon. West Chester improved to 14-2 in Hollinger over the last two seasons with these victories, extending its streak to nine in a row, with its last home setback coming against Shippensburg on January 11 of last year. Michelle Kozicki helped guide West Chester to victory on opening night, finishing with 20 points and 14 rebounds, but it was Emily McAteer who led the team on Sunday, finishing with 21 points and 10 rebounds in the victory. Leah Johnson, Anna McTamney, and Jayde Boyd have all scored in double figures in the first two games of the season, averaging 16, 14, and 11 points per game, respectively.

Wilmington Women’s Basketball Notes... For its part, Wilmington enters Wednesday with a mark of 0-3 on the year after falling to Bowie State on Wednesday night by a 65-40 final on Wednesday night in its third home game to open the season. On Wednesday night, Wilmington was tied with Bowie State at 14-14 after the first quarter but fell upon hard times in the second, mustering just three points on 1-of-10 shooting as the visiting Bulldogs carried a 33-17 lead into the halftime break. In the second half, Wilmington attempted to mount a comeback but could not fight its way all the way back into the game, falling by a 65-40 final, despite a pair of 10-point performances by Amber Washington and Mia Fuller. Daja Claiborne nearly recorded a double-double on Wednesday, finishing with 12 rebounds and nine points on 4-of-10 shooting from the field and a 1-of-2 effort at the line. The Wildcats opened the year against New Haven on Friday, November 10, falling to the Chargers by an 81-21 final before squaring off against the University of the District of Columbia by a 72-46 final on Saturday evening. Wilmington enters play on Saturday afternoon, averaging 35.7 points per game, shooting just 24.1 % from the field and 14.9 % from beyond the arc, led by a 6.7 point per game scoring average by Fuller and Washington. Fuller, who leads the team in three-point shooting, shooting 25.0 % on the year, also leads the squad in assists, averaging 2.7 helpers per contest.

For her part, Washington ranks among the team leaders in rebounding, averaging 5.3 boards per game, which is second on the team, trailing only Daja Claiborne, who leads the group, averaging 5.7 rebounds per contest, including 5.0 defensive rebounds per game.

Up next for the Golden Rams ... West Chester will conclude its longest homestand of the season on Monday night against Chestnut Hill, beginning at 5:30 p.m. before heading into Philadelphia after Thanksgiving to take on Jefferson on Sunday, November 26, beginning at 1 p.m. This trip away from Hollinger will last only one day as the Golden Rams return home for a three-game homestand in early December, starting crossover play on the 1st and 2nd against Slippery Rock and Edinboro before facing Lincoln on Tuesday, December 5th, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
