Warriors to play on new turf in 2021
The replacement of the playing surface on Maxwell Field is complete and the new FieldTurf synthetic field is ready for Warrior practice and competition. The renovation project began in late May, 2020 and was completed by Mammoth Sports Construction over the weekend of June 27-28. Maxwell Field at Altra Federal Credit Union Stadium is the competition home for two Winona State varsity athletic teams - football and women's soccer - and is also used by the community, campus intramural programs, and the football team at Cotter High School. Several other Warrior varsity programs also make use of the synthetic surface during inclement weather. With the addition of the new state-of-the-art turf, Altra Federal Credit Union Stadium has seen major improvements in each of the past two summers. In June, 2019, the installation of a new Daktronics video board provided the Warriors the largest display Daktronics board in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC). The 2020 renovation of Maxwell is the third artificial surface to be featured on the facility. In 1999, an Astro-Play field was installed to replace the natural grass field; this upgrade also eliminated the cinder track around the surface at that time. In 2009, a FieldTurf product was installed, and Warrior Nation enjoyed not only the new playing field but additional bleachers that were installed in both end zones. Winona State has installed FieldTurf Classic HD as its new field surface. According to FieldTurf, "The FieldTurf Classic HD is our leading, slit-film fiber, carefully crafted to maximize durability and safety, as well as be aesthetically pleasing. As we say, it's a Beauty and a Beast." FieldTurf Classic HD is the surface most recently installed on Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions, Albertsons Stadium at Boise State University and Falcon Stadium, located on the campus of the U.S. Air Force Academy. Maxwell Field has been home to Winona State Warrior football teams since 1937, and the women's soccer program beginning in 1995. It was named Maxwell Field in honor of Guy Maxwell, who served as the Winona State University president between 1904 and 1939.
Eric Schoh started with the Warriors on June 11, 2012. He has almost three decades of athletics experience in Division II, 17 as an athletic director in the NSIC, and is in his tenth year as the director of athletics at Winona State. During his time as an AD, Schoh has served on the Division II Management Council from 2016-2020, serving as Vice Chair of the Council in 2018. Also during that time, he served on the DII Identity Subcommittee, and acted as chairperson in 2019. Other NCAA committee involvement included Championships Committee, Planning and Finance, DII Administrative Committee, DII Membership Committee, and the DII Committee for Legislative Relief. Schoh is the Past President of the Division II Athletic Directors Association and previously served on the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics’ (NACDA) executive committee. He currently serves on the DII Nominating Committee and Women’s Basketball Central Region Advisory Committee. Previously, he served on numerous sport committees, most recently the Central Region Softball Committee. He served on the DII Men's Basketball National Committee from 2010-2014, serving as the national chairperson the final two years. Schoh served on NACDA's Learfield Sports Directors' Cup Committee for several years, and stays involved with the D2ADA through its Mentoring Program, serving both as a mentor and faculty presenter over the past 11 years. Schoh was the recipient of the Under Armor Athletics Director of the Year award in 2015. With a strong commitment to the student athlete experience, Warrior student athletes have continued to excel in the classroom and give back to the Winona area through community service. During spring 2021, the average student athlete term GPA was 3.43 (compared to 3.28 for the general student body) and the second highest on record. The average student athlete cumulative GPA through spring 2021 was 3.37 (compared to 3.22 for the general student body). There were 101 Warriors with perfect 4.0 GPAs in spring 2021, with 196 making the Dean’s List. The latest NCAA Federal Graduation Rate for the Warriors is 78%, which ranks first in the NSIC and 22nd out of 316 institutions in Division II. During the pandemic, the community service hours for the Warriors decreased dramatically. However, normally the Warriors log more than 3,000 hours of community service each academic year. Over the past nine years, Warrior Athletic facilities have seen many improvements, including a complete renovation of McCown Gymnasium; installation of new turf and state-of-the-art video board at Altra Federal Credit Union Stadium; construction of a new gymnastics practice facility and locker room; an indoor training facility for men’s and women’s golf; new batting cages and practice mounds at softball; new infield, mound and scoreboard at baseball; complete renovation of Talbot Gymnasium, including a multi-purpose synthetic floor; remodeled W Room for home volleyball and basketball games; and the installation of a film room for all teams. A comprehensive facility master plan for Warrior Athletics was completed in 2017 and the department continues to make strides toward completing the facilities outlined in the master plan. In the field of play, the Warriors continue to be known as a conference, regional and national contender, winning numerous regular season and conference championships over the past nine years. Several teams have advanced to NCAA post season play during Schoh’s tenure as well, including football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, volleyball, soccer, cross country, track and field, softball, gymnastics, men’s golf, and women’s golf. WSU hosted a football playoff game in 2017 and women’s softball regionals in 2014 and 2017. Schoh served as athletic director at Wayne State College from 2004-12. At Wayne State, Schoh helped build Wildcat Athletics into a consistent presence on both the regional and national level. Wayne State won 13 NSIC regular season championships and six more conference tournament titles. The WSC women’s basketball team advanced to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight in 2012 and ended the season ranked fourth in the nation. More than 20 teams advanced to NCAA Tournament play under Schoh’s leadership. A native of La Crescent, Minn., Schoh holds both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Iowa State University. Schoh also has worked as the Associate Athletic Director for Development at California State University, Bakersfield (2002-04); the Associate Athletic Director at the University of South Dakota (1999-2002); and as an Assistant Athletic Director at Montana State University, Billings (1995-97). Schoh and his wife Stephanie have three children and one grandson: Paige (31) and River (5), Eric (26) and Tyler (25).
