A Legacy of Quiet Service

D

The 2010-11 Crusader is dedicated to longtime business professor and coach, Dr. Roger Collins, YC Class of 1973. He showed us all how to run.

Crusader 2010-11

r. Roger Collins, associate professor of business, passed away unexpectedly on October 25, 2010, after suffering a heart attack while jogging. A native of Omaha, Dr. Collins had served York College in various capacities since 1981. In recent years, he was the chair of the Elijah A. Levitt Business School. Although Roger started his years at York as a business faculty member and was in that same position at the time of his death, in his 29 years of service he filled many roles at the college.

Aside from his work in the classroom, Roger served as the college’s business manager (CFO) from 1987 until 1995. He also served as the men’s soccer coach (1981-1983) and a sponsor for the business club (PBL-SIFE) where he was instrumental in beginning the Investment Group in 2005. Past PBL-SIFE president and member of the Investment Group, Landon Bailey said about Dr. Collins that “aside from my parents, he taught me more than anyone else.”

In a memorial chapel service, YC Campus Minister Tim Lewis said, “Dr. Collins was an investment man; he was a businessman. He invested everything in his life for this day. Well, today is payday.”

Collins was an avid runner. He started the cross country team in 1996 and served as its coach until 2007. During that same time period he also coached the track and field program. Even after he no longer coached, he stayed connected with the team. Sophomore James Tidei said, “Coach Collins showed me how to run the right race through his life and all that he did. He was interested in seeing his students succeed and helping us achieve our goals.”

President Eckman said, “Roger Collins’ spirit of Christian service exemplified the best ideals of the college. He put others first, whether in the classroom or in athletics. He quietly went about being a godly servant. He was a man of integrity, devoted to others, and he will be missed.”

A New Year Opening Days

M

id-August welcomed home returning students to the YC campus and grafted new ones into its ranks. Campus Ministries (YCM), Resident Life, and sport teams assisted by helping carry into the dorms carloads of college necessities. Before saying their final goodbyes, parents and students gathered at the Larsen Commons to enjoy a picnic, signifying their reception into the YC body. Afterwards, many crammed into the prayer chapel to partake in their first worship experience at YC. Later in the week, President

Eckman and his wife hosted a grill-out in their backyard.

YCM and the residence staff were a big help in leading orientation groups through the weekend. For the freshman service project, students spruced up Batterton’s Home Improvement as owner Les Batterton recuperated from some health issues. Classes and chapel began, and students adjusted accordingly.

During this first week, the town of York officially welcomed students by organizing a community fair to introduce students to local businesses with coupons, giveaways, and helpful information.

Hosted by YCM, this year’s party did not disappoint with its selection of fun finger foods, such as corn dogs and cotton candy, to the various activities that occupied the brick street. Student Association helped fund the inflatable game rentals where balance seemed to be a key component.

Laughter was produced in abundance from the boxing arena, bungee cord race, and sumo wrestling

pad. If that wasn’t entertaining enough, the popular dunking tank gave its share of light hearted moments. To cap a great evening, a studentorganized talent show made the party complete.

In September, the choir and athletic teams participated in the Yorkfest Parade, tossing candy to onlookers and representing the college. With nearly 200 students involved, the parade provided a great venue for York College to show their appreciation to the community.

The cafeteria moved outdoors to supply fair-styled food for the block party. (above) Baseball teammates line the curb as they eat dinner together on Kiplinger Ave. (top) Ramon Diaz captured a great keepsake of the softball team as they prepare for their part in the Yorkfest parade. (left)

Building Bonds Club Week

T

he fourth week of September marks the official beginning of a new year for social service clubs on the YC campus. When deciding which club is the best fit for them, students who are pledging examine a variety of aspects to help them find the club with the flavor and focus that most appeals to them. Each club has its own style, but in the end they strive to build relationships, while serving God and one another. In general, Sitka Gardner shows she’s pleased with what the mailman brought her.

Club Week festivities always include a buffet of fun bonding times from the early morning football games and cheer-offs to the late night get togethers with brother and sister clubs.

A full slate of activities left everyone happily exhausted as students displayed their talents via a choir concert, Psallo performance, theatre production of Heaven Can Wait, Beauty vs. Beasts volleyball game with the volleyball team squaring off against the wrestling team, and the traditional soccer match.

The 2010 YC Homecoming Court came on the field at half time of the soccer game with each class having representatives introduced. Last year’s king and queen, Caleb Rush and Amber Soderholm, were on hand for the crowning of royalty. Heath Schmalzried, a senior Biblical Studies major was dubbed York College king, and crowned queen was Aubrey Rush, a senior Mathematics major.

Scary Times

Halloween & Sketchyness

F

unny, scary, and just plain weird describes a couple of days on the York College campus.

The YC family starts putting their creative ideas to work with the spirited Sketchy Tuesday held mid-September. In honor of this unofficial soccer holiday, many students sculpt their hair into weird designs and styles they would normally never sport, as well as outfits inspired by the best and the worst of the 80s.

Not to be

outdone in the wardrobe department, October has its own comical relief with the annual Halloween Party hosted this year

by Axe/Beta and Kingsmen/ Omega Phi. Together, they planned a Halloween bash for the Underground that included the crowd favorites of food, a costume contest, a Halloween dance-off, pumpkin carving contest, and the always popular smashing of pumpkins. New to this year’s festivities was an SA sponsored haunted house set in the upstairs of the Mackey Center. Brave groups ventured through the dark walkways where monsters, men with axes, and horrors of many kinds lurked.

Aubrey Rush demonstrates the proper technique to smashing a pumpkin. (above) Loretta Goben wonders what goes on in her grandson’s head. Kellan says, “It’s just hair.” (right)

Campus Cheer Holidays, Cocoa, and Such

W

ith the changing of the seasons, the York College campus is transformed into a snow-white winter wonderland. Students take to Harrison Park to sled and create sporadic snowmen and snow angels around campus. Though often draped in the peaceful garb of snow, the holiday season is a busy one filled with finals, club parties, and special productions.

The all-campus Christmas party, hosted by Theta Psi/Sig Tau and Kyodai/Delta was held in the upstairs of Mackey. It was a festive time full of food, friends, and Christmas sweaters. Another yearly favorite with both the campus and the York community was that of Cocoa and Carols. Always a sell-out, the show features favorite old and new Christmas carols, and best of all, Santa.

Scored for taste, creativity, and overall presentation, Team Dingus was declared champions by judges Janae Parsons, Rachel Odom, and Dr. Tracey Wyatt. To the winners belonged the spoils as well as their recipe being incorporated

into the cafeteria’s menu.

The pre-finals breakfast served up by the YC faculty, staff, and administration at the close of the fall semester gave students a nice chance for refueling as well as a much needed breather. Menu choices included biscuits & gravy (with the option of a delicious chocolate gravy), scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage links, hash browns, cereal, fruit, etc. It was a lighthearted evening and just what students and volunteers needed to begin the week. The pre-finals ice cream social in the spring also scored big with the student body and provided a late night break that everyone looked forward to before hitting the books.

The three-day weekend boasts a chance for students to get off campus and enjoy fellowship, campfires, paintball, and the great outdoors at large. Hosted by the Timberlake Ranch Camp near Central City, the event is planned and organized by Campus Ministries with the goals of creating a weekend getaway that challenges students to grow spiritually.

Small groups were led by YC faculty and staff and provided an opportunity for students to discuss spiritual truths and encourage one another toward growth.

“Keep the Change” were YC alumni Jesse Anderson, Rusty Ridley, and Josh Cleveland. The message challenged students to examine their lives and commit to change.

Highlighting the entertainment portion of the weekend was the always comical talent show. Creativity was not in short supply as students crafted performances that kept the audience laughing and judges busy with their critique sheets.

Meal time is also a pull for many students to go on the retreat as they take a break from the cafeteria to enjoy food specially brought in by groups like the Lifewalk Church. And you can never go wrong with traditional favorites like Charla Stark’s Sopapilla Cheesecake.

The hosts and hostesses nailed their songs and all eight clubs brought their best entertainment to the table.

Hosting this year were Jason Hernandez, Alice Hackett, Hailey Siebold, Casandra Taylor, Nathan Towell, and Carson Tuttle. All of them delivered their own unique style to audiences and gave incredible performances each night. The club shows varied a lot in choices of themes: Forever Michael by Delta/Kyodai honoring Michael Jackson,

Lost in Space a galactic thriller by AXE/Beta, Mickey Mouse Club a Disney tribute

by Kingsmen/ Omega Phi, and En Fuego! a spicy show by Theta Psi/Sigma Tau. The competition was the tightest it has ever been with club shows separated by only a few points after three nights of judging.

Theta Psi and Sig Tau were awarded Best Music and Best Choreography after Saturday’s finale while judges gave the nod to Beta and AXE for Best Costumes.

In the end there could be only one to receive the President’s Award for best club show, and Lost in Space claimed the prize.

T

hey bring order to our events, joy to our days, and give each of us a taste of the York College Experience.

Campus organizations provide needed leadership and mold us for future service. They create a host of formative opportunities to make the most of our interests, talents, and lifelong relationships.

And through such organizations—from Alpha Chi to YC Campus Ministries—we gain a better understanding of how important each of us really is in light of the purpose to which we are called.

It’s really not about the concerts, ball games, or getting into the right club; it’s about sharing ourselves with others.

I

t’s a bit staggering when one looks back at all that was accomplished by Beta and AXE during the 2010-2011 school year, beginning and ending with their service to others. During club week, Beta served at Adopt-a-Pet walking dogs while AXE put their skills to use painting a house. Both clubs gave up a full Saturday in the spring to help Leo paint the library, and they helped clean a widow’s house every other week during the second semester so she could sell it to move closer to her children and grandchildren. Over spring break they prepped Camp Eagle in Texas for the summer: moving large rocks, clearing paths, and refurbishing cabins.

They also got together for fun activities such as the annual skating party and their AXE/ Beta bonfire where they made s’mores and held a devotional. The year wrapped up with their award-winning Songfest show Lost in Space.

They put in many fun, but long hours perfecting this show and the costumes for it. In the end, the performance was stunning! Beta was also presented with the All Sports Award at the All-College Banquet.

Delta & Kyodai

fun year was in the works for Delta and Kyodai as they started out the year with a busy club week. They continued to uphold their traditions of service through their annual work at the York Children’s Museum and the Mahoney House.

This year they added a new project, traveling door to door during dead week collecting Soles for Souls. They teamed up with Theta Psi and Sig Tau to put on the All-Campus Christmas Party, complete with many fun activities, treats, and karaoke entertainment.

As the year settled down, the women of Delta enjoyed being able to take an hour away from homework, deadlines, and campus to just be together and be silly at their weekly meetings.

For Songfest, Delta and Kyodai performed their show Forever Michael, a tribute to Michael Jackson. Royce Grimes took on the role of Michael himself creating quite the stir.

During the All-College Banquet, Kyodai was presented the All Sports Award while Delta garnered the Big Heart Award for their participation in the blood drive and the Community Service Award.

tarting with their annual trip to the Omaha Zoo and Buffalo Wild Wings, a year full of excitement was in store for Kingsmen and Omega Phi. A busy club week included activities such as a paint war, highway cleanup, and gallop dates. For Coronation, Omega Phi performed “Party in the USA” and Kingsmen performed their traditional song with a little Jason Mraz thrown into it.

The clubs helped out with the fall and spring clothing exchange at the East Hill Church of Christ, spending hours unloading, folding, and organizing clothes for the giveaway. Aided by a very successful pancake feed fundraiser, over spring break they went to Denver to help with the Helping Hands food pantry. Omega Phi also participated in Wii bowling at an elderly home, babysitting for church events, and a Boy Scout CPR training day.

Both clubs enjoyed fun activities throughout the year including joint movie and pizza nights where they watched Star Wars and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Omega Phi and Kingsmen became the face of Disney in the spring as they jointly produced an entertaining Mickey Mouse Club for their part in Songfest.

Theta Psi & Sig Tau

heta Psi and Sigma Tau hit the ground running with a fast-paced club week.

For their main joint service project they took on the dirty job of cleaning out the basement of Middlebrook. For Coronation, Theta Psi revived an old favorite “I Need a Hero” by Bonnie Tyler while Sig Tau cracked up the audience with their passionate rendition of Enrique Iglesias’ “Hero”.

Both groups stayed busy throughout the year with various activities, including a Buddy Walk to raise awareness for people with Down’s Syndrome. Theta Psi did some baking for YC faculty and joined up with Beta for a movie night. Over spring break, Sig Tau traveled to Colorado for their third year in a row to help with Dry Bones, a mission that reaches out to kids on the streets of Denver. Songfest reached a boiling point with their spicy En Fuego! It was a crowd pleaser that won Best Music and Best Choreography as the two clubs flooded the stage with their flashy outfits and in sync moves. At banquet, Theta Psi was given the Academic Excellence Award for having the highest accumulative GPA among clubs.

tudent Association played a major role in bringing about some of the most popular activities of the year. As the academic demands intensify throughout each semester, the student body requires a healthy dose of downtime to alleviate some of those pressures. The chance to unwind and put the brain in neutral for a while becomes an important aspect of the learning curve, SA hit the ground running by providing the always popular inflatable games for the opening block party.

I n S e p t e m b e r, they organized Tournament Week with different competitions going on every night. Included among these were gennis, ping pong, broom hockey, and dodgeball. SA coordinated with YC Athletics in sponsoring Midnight Madness, which brought attention to the men and women’s basketball teams. Later in the semester, they teamed up with social clubs in putting together the Halloween and allSingled Out Mystery Dates and Winners: Royce Grimes & Marisa Maher Alice Hackett & Cory Clark Andrew Rush & Selena Emery Tammy Phan & Jerome Taylor

campus Christmas parties.

In February, SA sponsored Singled Out with Justin Carver serving as MC and a Valentine’s concert with Caleb Hawley.

In the spring, the 3rd Annual Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt was again another favorite among students with 60+ prizes donated by the faculty and staff and a grand prize of $100 cash found by the lucky winner, Alex Lowther. Throughout the year SA hosted YC Night at the Movies and received great reviews for their 3D booking of the Disney hit Tangled.

At year’s end they helped put on a wonderful All-College Banquet and honored Loretta Goben as Staff Member of the Year and Dr. Mark Pearson with Teacher of the Year.

ork Campus Ministries is a vital and integral component of much that goes on during the academic year. The YCM staff, lead by campus minister Tim Lewis, worked hard and put their passions and talents to work from the very beg i n n i n g o f t h e school year to the end. Meeting the spiritual needs of the student body is a big undertaking. Besides organizing chapel, devos, and 9’o clock, YCM added small groups this year: pockets of students that met weekly to discuss a book, have a devo, or just pray together.

Men and women’s ministries were also busy during the year planning activities such as the guys’ bratwurst grill out and Man Church.

The girls held a spa night and their annual Ugly Betty Night. Other big events that Campus Ministries organized included the freshmen service project and the beginning of the year Block Party.

I n F e b r u a r y, t h e group put together an incredible Shine Retreat, a campus getaway where students can relax, have fun, and refuel spiritually.

Assisting Lewis this year were senior staff members Rachel Johnson, Heath Schmalzried, Carson Tuttle, and Dave Young and a host of ministry team leaders.

In his 25th year as conductor, Dr. Clark Roush had about five weeks to prepare the young group for their first concert in Grand Island before showcasing their talents the following week at Homecoming.

As always, they were up to the task and pulled together in remarkable and impressive fashion.

As a special honor the Choir was invited by the Nebraska Choral Directors Association to perform at Lincoln’s Lied Center later in October with four other colleges. The event is held annually as a tribute to the Upper Elementary Honor Choir of Nebraska.

rowds packed into Gurganus Hall every time the Celebration Singers were on stage. In December, Cocoa and Carols drew people from all over the York area and beyond to join in the Christmas spirit. Under the direction of Amy Fraser, the group produced a delightful show that brought back the magic of Christmas. Young and old alike came to hear the mixture of traditional and contemporary Christmas music and to take pictures with Santa Claus.

And of course, cocoa and cookies were once again made available by the York Chapter of Helping Hands.

In the spring, the Celebration Singers harmonized in a revival of classic Billy Joel tunes. For three nights the group entertained audiences with

their version of hits from the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer. “I’ve always liked Billy Joel’s music,” Fraser said prior to the performance. “I feel like it offers a variety of song choices and spans several generations.” The costuming for the tribute was simple as the performers donned black pants along with a colored shirt and suspenders. With the content of the show, a few props were incorporated throughout the program.

Heaven Can Wait

he “spirited,” timeless classic Heaven Can Wait, was performed during the Homecoming/High School Days weekend. Set in the 1940’s, the comedy centers around a diverse set of characters whose lives overlap when boxer Joe Pendleton (Jason MacDonald) refuses to accept he is dead. His death turns out to be a mistake made by newbie Messenger 7013 (Erin Florea), who took him prematurely, robbing him of 60 years of life. Outside of heaven’s gates, Mr. Jordan (Matt Ward) and Messenger 7013 decide to send him back to his body; however, it has been cremated.

To set things straght they decide that he can take up residence in Jonathan Farnsworth’s body, a rich business tycoon who is about to be murdered by his wife. With the help of Mr. Jordan, Joe tries to train for the championship boxing career he began in his former body, while undoing Farnsworth’s mistakes before Mrs. Farnsworth can murder him…again. This leads to a series of comedic twists and turns that kept the audience engaged and laughing throughout the production.

One-Acts

F

rom beginning to end, the emerging directors watched their hard work come alive. Both one-acts were comedies, but still very different. One echoes from the classic playwright, Moliere. The other, is a modern favorite.

Senior Communication major from Bristow, Virginia, Kayla Lawrence, directed Moliere’s The Flying Doctor.

In this one-act, a servant (Kayla Martin) is convinced to help her master (Patrick Clark) run away with the girl he loves. She dresses up like a doctor, only to be caught red-handed. The constant run around of this one-act kept viewers laughing till the end.

Senior Vocal Music Education major from Martin, South Dakota, Matt Carlson directed Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog, a quirky musical created by Joss Whedon during the 2008 writers’ strike. In this oneact, Dr. Horrible (Landon Roseberry) dreams of three things, winning the heart of Penny (Hailey Siebold), his long time crush, defeating Captain Hammer (Dave Young), and making it into Bad Horse’s inner circle of supervillains. His plight is funny, until the end, when things take a turn for the worst.

The experience one-acts bring to the new directors and to the actors is extremely valuable. This year’s one-acts welcomed in some new actors, giving them a chance to show what they could do. The option of the musical also opened doors for students to showcase their musical talents as well.

All’s well that ends well. Vale’re and Lucile happily marry and Gorgibus welcomes Vale’re into the family. (above)

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Midsummer Night’s Dream is a layered play. Egeus (Dylan Ford) comes before the Duke of Athens (Royce Roberts) with the complaint that his daughter Hermia (Bethany Saylor) will not marry the suitor he chosen for her: Demetrius (Matt Ward). Hermia refuses to marry Demetrius because she is in love with Lysander (Landon Roseberry). To top off the love tangle, Helena (London Ward), Hermia’s childhood friend, is madly in love with Demetrius. Hermia and Lysander run away into the forest.

Demetrius pursues Hermia and Helena pursues him. Meanwhile, there is also drama going on in the fairy realm between Oberon (Jason MacDonald) King of the fairies and Titania (Stephanie Studebaker) Fairy Queen. Everything becomes topsy turvey when Oberon’s fairy Puck (Kayla Lawrence) plays match maker.

This Shakespearean comedy kept its audiences laughing with all of its humor including Bottom’s head being turned into a donkey’s head and an all out girls’ fight.

Puck caused all sorts of mischief when trying to execute Oberon’s orders. A good deal of it was accidental. (inset) When Bottom is tured into a donkey, he finds himself quite content with the doting of Titania and her fairies. (right) Helena and Hermia get into a cat fight when Helena thinks that they are playing a cruel joke on her. (left)

Alice in Wonderland

I

magination came to life in the popular show, Alice in Wonderland, the Traveling Children’s Theatre production. Its timeless classic nature and recent revival as a movie drew a lot of interest. The performances featured a prologue penned by Director John I. Baker III and a freshman lead, Briana Van Deusen, as Alice. The 2011 cast of 13 began practicing every Tuesday and Thursday morning in the spring semester. After preparing the show, they took it on the road to around 20 surrounding elementary schools and communities. They also performed on campus during the High School Days weekend and a week later for the community.

This was director John I. Baker’s second time directing this show with the Traveling Children’s Theatre. He said he was excited to do it again because, “It really captures the wild zaniness of Caroll’s Wonderland through the style of commedia dell’arte.”

Elementary students loved the production and the opportunity to ask questions after each show. The actors in turn got a kick out of the kids they performed for at each school. All of those involved walked away with fond memories from the experience. The cast took all of their audiences on the wild and crazy ride down the rabbit hole and into the creative mind of Lewis Caroll.

PBL-SIFE

Y

ork College’s Phi Beta Lambda—Students In Free Enterprise (PBL-SIFE) had a rough year with the loss of longtime friend and supporter Dr. Roger Collins. As chair of the E.A. Levitt School of Business, Collins was instrumental with the funding of the York College Investment Group and provided years of guidance to the students involved. Up until his fatal heart attack in October, Dr. Collins worked alongside Associate Professor of Business Marti Soderholm in the department and could be counted on for his support of PBL-SIFE. Officers were elected in late September with Josh Stewart

accepting the role as PBL-SIFE president. Other officers were Josh Baerg – vice-president, Stephanie Wilson – secretary, Casey Kinnison – treasurer, and Kaitlin Spanel – reporter.

Even though the group did not enter their usual competitions in the spring, they did work on projects throughout year from promoting the Eternal Threads organization to their annual Special Appreciation Day venture in which all the proceeds went to assisting the Collins’ family. They also put together a memory book to honor Dr. Collins. Soderholm completed her 29th year as sponsor of PBL-SIFE.

Beginning with the fall induction of new members, the local chapter was in the capable hands of its president London Ward. Other officers were Nathana Clay serving as vice president, Tammy Phan as the PR representative, Sarah Eggar as secretary, and Kirsten Clements as treasurer. The York College English Department faculty served as sponsors.

Late in October, they hosted the annual Edgar Allan Poe-try slam where students and faculty could come and share spooky poetry in the Spiritual Life Center.

In February, they held a Lovers’ Lyrical Lines the week of Valentine’s Day. In the annual Knowledge Bowl competition, it was the Kingsmen team that won the battle of the brains, even beating the faculty. At the end of the spring semester, Sigma Tau Delta completed another edition of Unvarnished Words, a publication of student poetry, short stories, essays, artwork, and photography.

Since the society’s international conference was too far away to travel to this year, the YC chapter of Sigma Tau Delta took a day trip in the spring to enjoy some art and time together in Omaha.

New inductees included Tomme Lichty, Logan Siddall, Sarah Eggar, Kimberlee DeGroot, Zane Berner, and Hilary Mekelburg. (above) The Sigma Tau Delta day trip to Omaha was open to all English majors.

T

w e n ty-two students and three York College faculty embarked on a trip to the East Coast at the end of the school year as part of Erin DeHart’s EDU 403 Special Studies: Holocaust course. The journey was primarily educational, but it was also one of exploration, sight seeing, and getting a taste of big city life.

Many in the group had never been to the Big Apple, road on a metrorail, visited an art museum, taken a walk in Central Park, or seen a major league baseball game – much less in Yankee Stadium. The entertainment portion of the trip was undeniably adventurous and full of lifelong memories.

Bobby DeHart documented every-

thing with photos, many of which he shared with his students, and the world for that matter, on facebook. The required reading and lectures before ever boarding the plane aided in preparing students for what they would encounter at the Holocaust Museum and as they talked with survivor Frances Irwin.

Senior Nick Caravelli reflected in a journal entry: “When I leave here, I’ll be a different person. I won’t tolerate people being put down or treated badly. I won’t be an innocent bystander.”

With a 1418 overall record, 7-9 in the MCAC, the Lady Panthers more than doubled their wins from last year as well as moved up a couple of notches in the conference.

Panther fans were provided exciting action throughout the fall schedule. The team went on an 8-game winning streak at mid-season which included winning the Grace University Classic. Taking on the men’s wrestling team at Homecoming’s Beauty vs Beast showdown was a highlight of the year as well as when the team hit the court in pink jerseys as they hosted Play for the Cure on a cancer awareness night.

Hilary Mekelburg led the team in kills with 271 on the season; Chelsey Quigley led in aces (38) and digs (396); Erin Davidson led in assists (653); and Kimberlee DeGroot once again led in blocks with 79.

T

he men’s soccer team was on the young side this year with twelve freshmen on Coach Luther’s roster compared to the two lone seniors, Blake Derrick (MF) and Brent Stahl (D). It was a season of perseverance as well as one to avoid sidelining injuries. A number of those injuries came early in the year, forcing the remaining players to step up and deliver for the team.

The Panthers were 1-16-0 on the season with a 6-1 victory over Grace University.

What the team lacked in wins, they made up for in team camaraderie and spirit as was evident by their participation in Sketchy Tuesday. Willing to go all out, the majority of players dressed the part and helped keep the tradition alive.

Junior midfielder Chris Kistenoglu, who led the team with four goals and two assists on the season, was voted All-MCAC 2nd Team.

John Baker, Garrett Brown, Blake Derrick, Mikey McGee, Kris Olson, and Brent Stahl were named MCAC Scholar Athletes.

he Lady Panthers once again had eleven wins on their thirty game schedule but improved in conference play where it counted, going 7-7 for the regular season.

They finished strong, winning their last three Freeman Center games in a row. The conference wins qualified them for postseason play where they were defeated in the first round of the MCAC Tournament by the top seeded College of the Ozarks. Earlier in the season Coach Spickelmier’s team provided the YC home crowd on February 4th with a thrilling 74-57 upset of the ninth-ranked Bobcats to snap a 90-game conference winning streak.

Senior guards, Lorena Medeiros and Keishell Paul, were named AllConference. In addition, Paul was picked MCAC Newcomer of the Year as she set the pace for the Panther offense scoring 413 points on the season. Carrie Berger, Mayara Santos, and Rachelle Tialavea were awarded MCAC Honorable Mention. Medeiros and Marisa Maher were named MCAC Scholar Athletes.

n his first year as head coach, Delton Deal brought in assistant coach Jeff Mills and guided the Panthers to a 15-15 season, 7-7 conference record, and a postseason appearance. The Panthers narrowly missed the conference tournament but were invited to play in the NCCAA Central Region tournament in Oklahoma City where they defeated first round opponent Central Baptist 69-65 before losing to Mid-America Christian in the semi-finals.

6’6” senior forward Corey Standerfer led the Panthers in points with 18.8/gm, shooting 45% on the season. He also grabbed 223 rebounds (7.43/gm) and led in blocked shots with 26. DeAnthony Ellison’s keen eye and quick step gave him the lead in assists (91) and steals (57). Overall, the team was ranked 8th in NAIA Div. II in steals/gm at 9.8 and 20th in three pointers/gm at 7.9, 236 on the season.

Standerfer was named an NAIA All-American Honorable Mention and repeated last year’s All MCAC 1st Team honor as well as was named to the NCCAA AllRegional Team. Sophomore guard Desmond Strickland, who led the team in three pointers with 83 on the season, garnered MCAC Honorable Mention.

John Bryan, Dustin Campbell, Sean Carroll, Brent Smith, and Desmond Strickland were named MCAC Scholar Athletes.

he Panthers repeated as regular season champions in thrilling fashion, overtaking Bellevue in the conference race by sweeping Central Christian in a four-game road series.

York hosted the MCAC Tournament and made a sweet run at the championship after losing in the opening round. The sting of finishing second in the tournament came two days later when York was not invited to play in the national tournament. Of the 45 teams selected for the NAIA Baseball National Championship Opening Round, York swept two of them in the regular season and split evenly with three others, including Lubbock Christian University, the 2011 NAIA World Series Runner-up.

Besides leading the conference in almost every team statistic, the Panthers were ranked in 28 team and individual categories in the NAIA, including #6 in the nation in home runs per game (1.264) and #8 in slugging percentage (0.529).

On the season, the bats yielded an impressive total of 492 hits, 352 RBIs, and 67 home runs, a YC record.

York finished the year 39-14 (.736) — the most victories and highest winning percentage of all fouryear colleges and universities in Nebraska. They were ranked as high as 19th in the nation and finished at No. 24 in the NAIA polls.

Senior first baseman, Nick Nguyen, was named NAIA Honorable Mention All-American, seven players were named 1st Team All-Conference and two 2nd Team as well as three MCAC Gold Glove recipients. Coach Nick Harlan retained the honor of MCAC Coach of the Year.

Y

ork College is set apart from so many other institutions in that it has faculty and staff that care not only about the academic success of their students, but about their souls. Here students are encouraged to grow in all areas and to have balance in their lives. Along the way, they learn more about themselves and who God created them to be.

The journey of college at YC is relational; where students form bonds of genuine friendships.

When the years have come and gone, and the campus has morphed into newer and bigger, it will be the people that walked its sidewalks that occupy the memories in our minds.
