In Memorium:
George "Rinso" Marquette '48
"Rinso and I
went out to
lunch every
year before the
season started.
He only talked
[about] the
positives." - -
Head Coach
Brad McAl ester
"The two key ingredients
are a job you enjoy and a
good spouse." — Rinso
"You knew every game he
would be sitting in his usual
seat in the corner of the gym."
-- Guard Kyle Enoch 09
"Rinso was a very inspiring
man. Before halftime and
after every game he would
stand up and give some word
of encouragement. He was a
great man of character." - -
Guard Amie Bickert '09
"With a long
and hearty
handshake,
Rinso warmly
welcomed me
to the LVC
community
when I was
hired in
2006." -

Q: What is the most important lesson you
learned at LVC?
A: The most important thing I learned at
LVC was how to balance my time efficiently.
When multiple exams stack up in a single
week, it is imperative to be able to manage
time accordingly to get everything done on
time.
Q: What is your favorite memory of LVC?
A: My favorite memory would have to be
staying up all night my junior year waiting
for Dutchman Day. My whole house
brought down our mattresses and blankets
to make an enormous fort out of the lower
floor of the house. We stayed up all night
watching movies until it was time to get the
t-shirts in the early morning. We all passed
out sometime after lunch, but it was worth
it.
Q: What advice do you have for future
seniors?
A: Live it up. Senior year goes by very fast,
especially the second semester. Your college
years can be some of the best years of your
life, so do everything you can to enjoy it.

Q: What will you miss most about LVC?
A: The thing I will miss the most about
LVC is the people. Not just the students,
but also the professors and staff. I have
come to appreciate so much from being at
LVC and most of all, I have learned to
appreciate all different kinds of people. I
will miss all of the friends I have made these
past four years terribly and I will definitely
miss all of the professors who have been
inspirational to me.
Q: What was your greatest accomplishment
while at LVC?
A: Finishing my senior recital was definitely
my greatest accomplishment at LVC. I was
never more proud of myself then when I
walked out on the stage after I was done
singing and saw a standing ovation. I was so
happy that I had worked as hard as I did
throughout the past four years in order to
have that wonderful feeling!
Q: What are your plans for the future?
A: I plan on being a music educator in some
fashion. I would ideally love to direct a high
school choir, but I have a passion for music.
So as long as Fm teaching music, I will be
happy!

Q: What will you miss most about LVC?
A: The thing I will miss the most about LVC is
the close-knit community with my friends and
my professors. I will also miss the beautiful
campus I fell in love with as a senior in high
school.
Q: Who was your favorite professor and why?
A: My favorite professor is Mrs. Summers
because she has always have been there for my
since freshman year as an advisor, professor,
and friend. She has allowed me to grow as a
student and as a person. I know if I needed
someone to talk to, she is always there with
open arms.
Q: What was your greatest accomplishment
while at LVC?
A: My greatest accomplishment while at LVC
was getting Dean's List for three semesters and
getting an A in student teaching. I honestly
thought I would not see the day that I will
graduate and achieved so much from the
school I love.

Q: What was your greatest accomplishment
while at LVC?
A: My greatest accomplishment while attending
Lebanon Valley College would have to be
having my artwork displayed in the Art Gallery
at the end of this semester. After a semester's
worth of work on an exhibition having it be
shown in the art galleiy means the world to
me.
Q: What is your favorite memory of LVC?
A: Being on the Homecoming Court was
something that was a really fun experience. I
never would have thought that I would be on
the court. I might not have won, but it was still
fun to spend time with the rest of the court. It
was a group of people who would probably
have never come together.
Q: What is the most important lesson you
learned at LVC?
A: I have learned to never forget who you are.
After four years at LVC, I have strived to
remain myself in lieu of all the changes that are
going on around me. Remember who your
friends are. College is about more than just the
classes you attend, but it is the relationships
that you have created as well as the people you
have met.

Q: What groups/clubs/organizations/teams were
you a part of at L VC and how did your
involvement in those activities shape you as a
person?
A: I was part of the football team for all four
years. It helped me to never accept defeat but to
only challenge it. Also, to give it my all no matter
how tired I am and to become a leader.
Q: Who was your favorite professor and why?
A: Dr. Setley because even though he never
made things difficult for us, he always pushed us
to make something good into something better.
Q: What advice do you have for future seniors?
A: Do not let it go by too fast. Cherish all the
memories you make your final year. Challenge
yourselves in the classroom to give that much
more of an advantage when you are competing
with others in starting your career.

Q: What is the most important lesson you
learned at LVC?
A: Don't doubt yourself. You can accomplish
great things if you trust in who you are. At
the same time, though, listen to what others,
including peers, professors, and mentors,
have to say. No matter what it seems like,
nobody has all of the answers; we're all here
to help each other along the way. And do
NOT stress out if things don't go according
to plan — the fun of college is that it is a step
in the journey. I guess that's three lessons I
learned.
Q: What advice do you have for future
seniors?
A: Instead of worrying about the uncertainty
in your future, enjoy your last year and take
in everything — the sights, the sounds, and
especially friendships. If you worry, your last
year will be sad instead of happy. You don't
have to worry — LVC gives you all the tools
necessary to succeed, and then some.
Q: Who was your favorite professor and
why?
A: Dr. Anderman. She helped me find my
passion for art again. And how can you not
love her English accent?

Q: What was your greatest accomplishment
while at LVC?
A: My greatest accomplishment at LVC was
successfully completing my student teaching
experience. I was so nervous to be in
complete control of a classroom full of
students, but I found it was something that
came naturally and was something that I
enjoyed! It was during my student teaching
experience that I knew for sure I had picked
the 1 ight career path and the right college to
support me.
Q: What is your favorite memory of LVC?
A: My favorite memory of LVC is when my
friends and I danced on stage with Everclear
during ValleyFest of our sophomore year. I
thought it was so cool that a well-known
band would invite us on stage and treat us as
if we were a part of their band. I felt like a
rockstar!
Q: Who was your favorite professor and
why?
A: My favorite professor was Dr. Yingling.
She always made class so interesting and fun
and I am positive that I will be using the
information she presented in my future as a
teacher. She is very easy to talk to and
would always try her best to help you.

Q: What was your greatest accomplishment
while at LVC?
A: My greatest accomplishment while at
LVC is making Dean's List and the National
All- Academic Team. My academics are very
important to me and I feel very
accomplished that I was able to juggle my
social life, sports, and academics all at once.
Q: What advice do you have for future
seniors?
A: My advice would be to cherish every
moment. Leaving LVC for me is
bittersweet. I am ready to move on with my
life and start the next chapter, but at the
same time I do not want college to end.
These are the best four years of your life -
make the most out of it and don't take
school work too seriously. The work never
ends, but college does.
Q: What are your plans for the future?
A; My plan for the future is to find a job in
the education field. I am passionate in
working with young children and fascinated
with behaviors and mental health. I would
love to someday teach internationally with
kids who do not have the sufficient
resources.

Q: What was your greatest accomplishment while at
LVC?
A: My greatest accomplishment was having the guts
to study abroad in Greece. I don't usually see
myself as a timid person, but I decided rather
haphazardly to study abroad without fully realizing
what I was getting into. However, once I was there,
I realized that it was the best thing that I've done
with my life thus far.
Q: What advice do you have for future seniors
A: My advice for future seniors is to enjoy every
last minute of your final year. Not to get too cliche,
but the classes are tougher than ever, assuming you
take more than four to five general education
classes. There never seems to be enough time in
the day to do everything you want. Although it's
been tough, I wouldn't trade my senior year for
anything.
Q: What are your plans for the future?
A: This year, I decided to consider law school as a
possible career path. I was accepted to a law school
that I really like. It will be a little closer to home
for me, being in Massachusetts, and while I right
now have some intentions of focusing on
International Law, I'll see where life takes me.

Q: What will you miss most about LVC?
A: I will simply miss LVC. I have realized
that there will never be another place like
this, nor will I have another experience like I
have had here. I have met so many people
and had so much fun here, and I know I will
not have another time in my life where I can
meet so many people and, in such a short
period of time, establish lifelong-lasting
relationships.
Q: What was your greatest accomplishment
while at LVC?
A: I am really proud of being a director for
the Vagina Monologues this year at school. I
got to work with so many wonderful women
and learn so much about the strength that
women on our campus have; it's really an
amazing experience. I was really proud to see
all my hard work on stage, being enjoyed by
so many other people.
Q: What advice do you have for future
seniors?
A: Do something new. If you are a science
major, enroll in an art class. Try out for a
school play. Do something that you would
never do otherwise, because this is the last
time you may be able to say, "why not?" and
get away with doing it.

learned at LVC?
A: Learning how to balance school, activities,
and work without becoming overwhelmed
and the importance of taking time for
yourself.
Q: Who was your favorite professor and
why?

and professional expertise had a great

so many activities and ideas to implement
into any classroom. Dr. A is knowledgeable,
compassionate, and a wonderful inspiration
to us all. She was truly an unforgettable
professor!
Q: What advice do you have for future
seniors?
A: Take advantage of opportunities and step
out of your comfort zone... only then can
you truly discover yourself.

Q: What was your greatest accomplishment
while at LVC?
A: I think my greatest accomplishment while at
LVC surrounds my involvement with the
Hurricane Katrina Relief Projects. I
participated in one of the trips, in January of
2007, during my sophomore year and then
during my junior year began working on a
documentary about LVC's involvement in the
reconstruction efforts in New Orleans, LA. As
a senior, I then completed an independent
study and research presentation about the
economics surrounding the reconstruction
effort and presented it at a regional business
and economics conference during the fall.
Q: What advice do you have for future seniors?
A: Enjoy college while you can! I landed a
full-time job for graduation and was required
to start working immediately on a part-time
basis. I already miss being a student!
Q: What is your favorite memory of LVC?
A: During my senior year, my friends and I
rented out a school bus to transport us to and
from the Winter Formal so that we could all
spend the entire night together. That
experience and the night in total was by far my
favorite memorv of LVC.

Q: What is your favorite memory of LVC?
A: Going to the Penn Relays with the track
team... we had some fun times down there.
Q: Who was your favorite professor and
why?
A: Dr. Billings because he encourages
students to really think about something and
give more than the basic, generic answer. He
also encourages students to try to relate to
something on a personal level to gain a
better understanding of it.
Q: What will you miss most about LVC?
A: The people... you can get to know a lot of
people well because of how small the school
is.

Q: What was your greatest
accomplishment while at LVC?
A: My greatest accomplishment
while at LVC was completing
student teaching. It was both the
hardest and most rewarding
semester I've had here at LVC and
it has really prepared me for my
own classroom.
Q: What is your favorite memory of
LVC?
A: My favorite memory of LVC was
when my fiance, another LVC
senior, proposed to me in my dorm
room before the Hershey Park trip
this past September. I will never
forget that day!
Q: What advice do you have for
future seniors?
A: The advice I have for future
seniors is to just really make the
most of your last year here at LVC,
in terms of both enjoying yourself
with your friends and networking
for jobs after graduation.
Photo owned by Mary Eldredge
Q: What is the most important lesson
you learned at LVC?
A: While at LVC, I've realized that if
I'm not satisfied with something, I
shouldn't waste my time and energy
complaining about it. Instead I should
invest that time and energy in coming
up with a better solution.
Q: What is your favorite memory of
LVC?
A: So many come to mind... however,
one prank stands out in particular.
Over spring break of my junior year,
I traveled with Servants of Christ to
Oneonta, New York for a service
project. During this trip there was an
endless battle of pranks between the
guys and girls ending with my all time
favorite prank — freezing all of Matt
Schaeffer's clean underwear. Sorry
Matt!
Q: What are your plans for the
future?
A: I plan to volunteer with
Inter Varsity Christian Fellowship for
a year and then plan to pursue
graduate school in hopes of becoming
a licensed professional counselor.

44th Presidential Election
The 2008 Presidential Election saw
two United States Senators square
off for the nation's top office in a
time of economic turmoil and
uncertainty. Even before polls
opened in November, though,
LVC hosted its own mock election
through La Vie CoUegienne,
College Conservatives, and College
Democrats. The election was open
to 2,189 students and employees of
the college, though in the end the
turnout was much less than
expected. Current President
Barack Obama won the LVC
election with 380 votes, followed
by Sen. John McCain with 179
votes. In total, 598 participants cast
a ballot.

Wig 8c Buckle Productions
Wig 8c Buckle Company's fall
production of Stephen Dietz's
Dracula was well-received by the
LVC community, despite a fire in
Mund College Center on opening
night which forced the cancellation
of part of the first show. The cast
and crew nonetheless rebounded
for five more stellar performances.
In the Spring Semester, Pirates of
Penzance told the comical love
story of a soft-hearted pirate and a
member of the local aristocracy.
The final production of the year,
Spring Awakening, adapted the
German play by Frank Wedekind
to fit a more modern theme, its
edgy plotline exploring
controversial themes such as
sexuality, sexual identity, and
suicide.

Study Abroad
This year, a total of seventy-six
students took part in LVC's study
abroad program. The program
itself offers students the chance to
study abroad in sixteen different
locations for a full semester,
ranging from Buenos Aires,
Argentina to Belfast, Northern
Ireland. In addition, locations in
Sweden, Germany, and The
Netherlands are available as
short-term options as well. The
top two programs this year were
London, England (nineteen
students in the fall) and New
Zealand (eleven students in the
spring), which are usually the most
popular due to the lack of a
language barrier

LVC FOOTBALL
By: Ryan Zvorsky '09
After a 2007 season in which the team went 4-6, the
Dutchmen rebounded to go 6-4 in 2008 for the second
time in the last three seasons under 1 6th-year Head
Coach Jim Monos. Leading the squad on the season
offensively was Charlie Parker '10, who racked up
1,133 all-purpose yards with 936 yards on the ground.
He played in eight games at tailback, scoring eight
touchdowns en route to being named a First-Team
All-Commonwealth Conference selection. Wide
receiver Joe Brennan ' 1 0 also turned in a brilliant
season on offense, hauling in 44 catches for 813 yards,
scoring nine touchdowns. He received Second-Team
All-Commonwealth Conference accolades for his
success. He started in all 10 games, aiding quarterback
Caleb Fick '11. Fick threw for 1,782 yards and 15
touchdowns while racking up a 126.5 efficiency rating.
Brittany Ryan '11, the first female to suit up and
record a point in Valley football history, was efficient
in 2008, going 3-for-3 in field goals and 27-of-30 in
the PAT department. On defense, linebacker Brian
Cottone '09 led the Dutchmen with 71 tackles, leading
to the honor of being named the MAC Defensive
Player of the Year, which also put him on the first-team
all-conference team. In addition, he was named to the
Third-Team All-East squad by d3football.com. Also
joining Parker, Cottone, and Brennan on the
all-conference team are Brian Lynch '10, Sean
Tetreault '10, Jason Sneeringer '11, Zach Bleiler '11,
and Dane Eichelberger '10.

LVC FIELD HOCKEY
By: Krista Freitag '09
The 2008 Lebanon Valley College Field Hockey
season started out with a trip to Europe! The
preseason trip began in Paris, France and
continued to Germany and the Netherlands. Not
only did they see some amazing sights and had
quality team bonding time, but the team played
against clubs that taught them a whole new style of
play. Once the team traveled back to the states,
reality sank in as classes started and they prepared
to face competition. The team went on a 4-0
winning streak early in the season, including an
exciting overtime win in Lynchburg, Virginia,
until they were upset by a loss against Dickinson.
The team continued to win until facing conference
rivals Messiah College in the regular season as well
as in conference playoffs in which they lost both
games by a one-goal deficit. Regardless of a few
losses, the field hockey team remained resilient
and made it into the NCAA playoffs for the fourth
consecutive season. They won against New
England College in the first round of NCAA
playoffs in order to advance to the second round
to play Middlebury College at Bowdoin College in
Brunswick, Maine. Unfortunately, the season
came to a halt with a 5-2 loss against Middlebury.

LVC VOLLEYBALL
By: Brandi Roth '09
The 2008 Lebanon Valley College women's volleyball
team had a very exciting season. For the first time ever
the women won the Middle Atlantic Conference
Championship, and earned themselves a first-time-ever
bid into the NCAA Division III tournament.
Experiencing the NCAA tournament for the first time
made the girls a little anxious, but now that they've
gotten a little taste, the team is hungry for another
longer, successful appearance. 2008 was a wonderful
season to end on; with an almost perfect season and a
page in the history books, the year could not have been
better for the Lebanon Valley College women's
volleyball team.

LVC WOMEN'S TENNIS
CONFERENCE CHAMPS!!
By: Sara Wagner '09
The 2008-2009 women's tennis team has gone on
quite a successful ride. For the first time in LVC
history, the women competed during a year-round
season. They wrapped up the fall portion with their
first-ever perfect Commonwealth Conference record,
defeating Messiah College, Elizabethtown College,
Arcadia University, Lycoming College, and Albright
College. This finish as the conference's top seed
secures their place as the number one seed in the team
championship tournament come April. In the October
Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Corporation
(MASCAC) annual individual and doubles
championships, the Dutchmen had their best showing
ever, sending all six singles players and all three
doubles teams into competition in the second and final
day of play. Earning an individual championship gold
medal were senior Sammy Burkey at the number four
singles spot, sophomore Shayna Heintzelman at the
number five singles spot, and senior Sara Wagner at
the number six singles spot. To prepare for their
spring season, the ladies sent a team to Hilton Head
Island in South Carolina over spring break to compete
three matches. During their only spring season match
in Pennsylvania, two Dutchmen set new singles records
in a win over York College of Pennsylvania. Number
one singles competitor sophomore Sara Grodzinski and
Burkey each won their 20th match of the season.
Overall, the Valley had their best season yet and look
forward to many championships to come!

LVC WOMEN"S SOCCER
By: Jennifer Di Mauro '09
After a strong start, the women's soccer team narrowly
missed out on conference playoffs despite finishing the
'08 campaign with a record of 9-8-2. The team was a
mix of experienced veterans and talented rookies.
Lauren King led the team in goals but had much help
from her fellow teammates. Some highlights included
beating Franklin and Marshall for the first time in
years with a dominating 3-0 score and also beating
Misericordia for the first time ever in a dramatic
double overtime performance. The team also excelled
off the field as it earned NSCAA Academic Honors for
its impressive 3.27 team GPA. At the end of the year,
senior Emily Bainbridge was recognized for her
constant hard work by earning Second Team
All-Commonwealth Conference honors. Only losing 4
players to graduation, there are high hopes for the
team in the upcoming season.

LVC MEN'S SOCCER
By: Nathaniel Yinger '09
This year's Men's Soccer team will be remembered as
the first in program history to defeat foes
Elizabethtown and Messiah, and also became the first
team in conference history besides the previously
mentioned schools to earn the top seed in the
conference playoffs. However, the team was plagued
by inconsistent play and finished with a disappointing
9-10 overall record. Senior goalkeeper Tim Mehl
made several big saves throughout the season,
including a handful of saves in a memorable sequence
in the team's upset victory over nationally-ranked
Messiah. Travis Steedle '10 and Chris Hall '12 tied for
the team lead with six goals and Steedle lead the team
with 1 7 points. Several underclassmen made
significant contributions this year, providing the team
with a good outlook for the future.

LVC WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
By: Steve Wisner '09
The Flying Dutchmen's women's basketball team
finished the season with an impressive 1 7-9 record with
a 8-4 record in Commonwealth Conference play. The
squad's season came to a disappointing end with a
75-72 lose to Widener University in double-overtime.
Going into the conference play-offs, the Valley secured
the number two seed and toppled Albright to advance
to the finals.
After last season, where the team boasted four
freshmen starters, the team was still pretty young this
season. The squad depended heavily on their strong
sophomore class, but did have two seniors on the roster
in Megan Bish '09 and Amie Bickert '09. The team
also got a solid freshman performance by Caitlin
Murphy '12. Overall, the team averaged 64.3 points
per game while only allowing 57. The team was led in
scoring by Lori Lidlow ' 1 1 who averaged 1 5 , but the
squad had three others averaging over 1 0 points per
game including: Eryn Schultz '11, Suzie Noyes '11, and
Andrea Hoover '11.
Leading the team in assists (130) was Hoover and Bish
topped the team in total rebounds with 139.

The Dutchmen finished the 2008-09 campaign with a
12-13 record, going 4-8 in Commonweahh Conference
play under 1 5th-year Head Coach Brad McAlester.
Lebanon Valley had a strong duo in the ft-ontcourt
during the season in two-guard Kyle Enoch '09 and
point guard Joe Meehan '12. Both players earned
postseason awards, as Enoch was named a member of
the First-Team All-Commonwealth Conference team.
Meehan also shined, being named the conference's
Rookie of the Year. Enoch, a four-year member of the
team, finished his superb career with 1,188 points,
sitting in 1 7th place in program history. He averaged
16.9 points per game in his 25 starts on the floor.
Leading the team with 422 points, Enoch also led LVC
in steals (52), minutes (859), field goals (143), and
three pointers (66). Meehan, starting at point guard
three games into the season, finished fourth in points
scored per game with 9.1. Not only a scorer, Meehan
was able to feed his teammates, dishing the ball 118
times, which was a team-best.
Two other seniors saw significant playing time off the
bench for McAlester in their fourth and final seasons.
Dustin Kerns '09 and Eric Humphrey '09 both played
in all 25 games. Kerns averaged 3.2 points per game,
making 21 field goals and 36 free throws. Humphrey
averaged 5.9 points per game while bringing down 106
rebounds and blocking a team-best 23 shots.

LVC SWIMMING
By: Laurel Klappholz '10
Both The Lebanon Valley College men's and womens
swimming team fell short of success at the team level
for the 2008-2009 season. Both teams were successful
on the individual level. Under the leadership from
senior captain Kevin Carney, the men's team finished
the season with a 6-7 record. Senior Kevin Carney,
Junior Johnny Schoenberger, Sophmore Tony
Shipkowski and Jeff Bush aided the men. Many records
were broken in 2008-09, including Carney's three
records, shattering his previous records. Carney, Bush,
Schoenberger, and freshman Ryan Humphries along
with John Heenan were all members of the
record-breaking relays. Several records were also
broken on the women's team, which concluded their
season with a 4-9 overall record. Senior captain Lauren
Horst led the women. Four records fell this year.
Horst broke the only individual record in the 1,000
yard freestyle and was part of two record breaking
relays. Three relay records fell this year. Lisa
Neithamer, Ally Birli, Tina Schreiner, and freshman
Kelsey Sherman were part of record breaking relays.
Other notable athletes turning in outstanding seasons
were Junior Niethamer, and Sophmore Ashten
O'Brien, Birli, and freshman Alex Hockley. LVC
ended the season by competing at the MAC
Championships on February 13-15. The men's team
finished sixth and the women's team finished ninth.

LVC INDOOR - OUTDOOR
TRACK & FIELD
By: Ryan Zvorsky '09
Under the leadership of first-year Head Coach
MeHssa Weidler, the Lebanon Valley College
indoor and outdoor track and field teams found
consistency in the 2008-09 season. At the 2009
MAC Indoor Championships at Lehigh University
on Feb. 28, four individuals were crowned
champions. For the men, sophomore Zach Bleiler
finished first in the weight throw with a distance of
52-1 % feet. Classmate Michael Landshof also
impressed at the event, finishing first in the pole
vault with a distance of 14-0. For the women,
sophomore Jenn Cronin did something that no
other runner had done at the event in program
history: ran to a first-place finish in the
5,000-meter. She did so in just 18:24.08, clipping
24 seconds off" of her LVC record. Cronin teamed
up with juniors Megan Long and Lauren Johnson
along with sophomore Tiffany Fredrick to place
first in relay competition with a time of 1 2:52. 1 1 .
Freshman sprinter Johanna Walker was named
MAC Women's Rookie of the Meet. At the 2009

honors. The women finished fourth at the
championships, carding 90 points. On the other
hand, the men finished fifth with 85 points.

LVC BASEBALL
By: Steve Wisner '09
Despite a disappointing finish in the Commonwealth
Conference play-offs, the LVC baseball team had an
impressive season in 2009.
The team was picked to finish dead-last in the division
after failing to capture a conference win last season,
but the Valley took that as a challenge and finished the
regular season as the number two-seed. The
Dutchmen's record on the year was 19-21-1, but they
had an impressive 1 0-5 record in conference due to
some impressive individual efforts on the season. For
their success, first baseman Joe Soupik '09 and pitcher
Brian Miller ' 1 2 received first team all conference
honors. Soupik was dominant at the plate this season
with a .300 batting average while slamming 8 home
runs and driving in 45. He also posted an impressive
1.039 OPS. From the hill, Miller pitched to a team
leading 4.79 ERA in his rookie year. Short-stop Colt
Zarilla ' 1 2 and outfielder Grant Wiest ' 1 0 received
second-team honors for the team that exceeded all
expectations for the season.

Team at Lebanon Valley College: DOMINATE! That's
right the women's Softball team has been dominate all
season long. A young team consisting of just one
senior, four juniors, seven sophomores and five
freshman, have been able to get the work done this
season. Their success has been a result of their
teamwork, hard work and skills. In just her second
season here at the Valley, sophomore Val Malizzia has
proven herself to be one of the best pitchers in the
conference. She has earned the honor of being
Cominonwealth Conference Pitcher of the Week four
out of five weeks. Her outstanding performances each
game has helped contribute to the team's success. The
team's record is 20-8 overall has remained perfect in
the commonwealth conference at 6-0. As the regular
season begins to wind down, the team hopes to repeat
last season and better it at the same time, by going to
the NCAA tournament, in hopes of winning the
National Championship.

The 2009 Men's Tennis Team consisted of Matt
Grodzinksi, Jared Zeigler, Tom Neckelmann, Brad
Sweigert, Jon Gingrich, Andrew Levin, Kyle Kahl,
Matt Garber, and Matt Hotchkiss. They were coached
by Cliff Myers, Joy Graeff, and Dave Remsburg.
Within the conference, the team succeeded against
Arcadia, Lycoming, and Albright, but fell to its two
largest rivals, Elizabethtown and Messiah. Following
those disappointing losses, the team arrived at playoffs
as a third seed, where it triumphed over Messiah and
Elizabethtown to win the Commonwealth Conference
Championship. The team's graduating seniors included
Jared Zeigler and Andrew Levin. The Lebanon Valley
Men's Tennis Team was thrilled to achieve this victory
under Cliff Myers and they will return next year
looking to defend their title.
