Super Saturday at NCAA Track & Field

DePrez Wins Another National Title!
White, Rettke All-American
Three Combine to Finish Sixth

NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships
It was a super Saturday at the NCAA Division III Track & Field championships at St. Lawrence University for the Geneseo Knights!

First year Kim DePrez capped her inaugural season by winning her second national championship of the season in leaping past her competitors in the high jump with a height of 1.67 meters. DePrez was equalled in height by three others, but was declared champion with the fewest attempts. She also won the national title in the high jump at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field championships in March.

Seniors Melissa White and Jen Rettke completed their illustrious careers by earning All-American honors with third place finishes in their respective events. White, who completes her four seasons as a seven-time All-American, finished the 5,000 meters in 16:42.01, while the three-time All-American Rettke completed the 1,500 meters in a school record time of 4:29.52.

With White's second place finish in the 10,000 meters on Thursday and Saturday's results, the trio combined to score 30 points and, incredibly, tied for sixth place of 83 scoring schools in the team standings.

CONGRATULATIONS to the student-athletes and head coach Mike Woods!!! :smile:

Geneseo took a 4-3 first quarter lead and led by 3-1 at one point in the first stanza.

After the Saints netted the first goal of the second half, Geneseo ripped off three goals in 50 seconds, two by Stock, to take a commanding 9-6 lead with 8:26 left in the third. However, the Saints did not go quietly as they connected three times in a row, the last coming with 5:56 left in the game to open the door to Engel's heroics.

Juniors Tim Killoran and Hilfinger each had two goals and an assist, junior Dave Spennacchio had a goal and an assist and first year Pat Riehlman added a single tally. Junior Andy Howk frustrated the Saints by making 24 saves on the afternoon as Geneseo was outshot by a 43-35 margin.

Cortland Wins Championship Over Oneonta
Oneonta Knocks out Geneseo

SUNYAC Softball Championships
The women's softball team hosted Oneonta in game one of day three of the 2003 SUNYAC Softball championships and the Knights were knocked out of the tournament by the Red Dragons by a 4-3 score. Geneseo got on the board in the first inning when Jackie Guba was hit by a pitch, was sacrificed to second and scored on a Courtney Trawitz single. Oneonta evened the game with a pair of doubles in the second inning and took a 3-1 lead with a pair of unearned runs in the third. The Red Dragons added what would turn out to be a very important insurance run in the fifth inning with a pair of doubles. Geneseo nearly grasped the win in the top of the seventh as Guba singled and after a flyout, advanced to second on a single by Hovey. Trawitz had her third hit of the day to load the bases and Jen Seitter followed with an RBI single to make it 4-2. First year Nikki Delawder slapped an RBI single to right to make it 4-3, but the Dragons cut the Knights rally short with a second to first tag the runner double play to end the game. Senior Sarah Taub took the loss by allowing five hits, two earned runs and striking out 10.

Oneonta advanced to play Cortland and forced a tiebreaker game with a 5-4 win in the opener. Senior Beth Oppenheimer was 2 for 4 with a double and three RBI as the Dragons scored all five runs in the second inning. Cortland scored a run in the first, one in the second and pulled within one at 5-4 on freshman Jennifer Rockwell's two-run homer in the top of the seventh off winning pitcher Theresa Gugger. After a pair of singles added fuel to the Cortland comeback, freshman Kerry Donahue came on in relief and got a flyout and a strikeout to end the threat.

In the finale, Cortland led 1-0 after three, but Oneonta took a 2-1 lead with single runs in the fourth and fifth. The Dragons evened the game at two on Megan Cross' solo homer in the sixth and claimed the championship with a leadoff solo homer by senior Julie Gentner in the bottom of the eighth. Freshman Stephanie Adamshick tossed a six hitter for Cortland.

Knights in the Rankings

Men's Lacrosse, Women's Softball Gain National Recognition

National Rankings
The Geneseo men's lacrosse team was ranked 21st by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association this week after dropping out of the poll for three weeks. This is the Knights third appearance in the poll this season and ties their highest ranking of the season. Geneseo, who moved to 7-2 with a win over St. John Fisher yesterday, appeared in the poll for six consecutive weeks last year.

The women's softball team moved up to 18th in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association poll this week. The Knights were ranked 10th in the preseason poll, but had dropped out of the top 25 to \"others receiving votes\" in the April 2nd poll after starting the season 5-4 on their spring trip. Geneseo has since rebounded with seven consecutive victories, including yesterday's doubleheader sweep of Oswego.

Knights Community Service Project

Knights Community Service Project

Knights Community Service
The student-athletes at SUNY Geneseo completed their first community service project of the academic year on Sunday, November 10 as more than 120 students representing every one of the 19 intercollegiate athletics teams participated. The Knights went out into the community and raked leaves at more than 25 homes in the village of Geneseo over a period of three hours. The turnout was more than expected and the students were forced to be creative in their methods of removing the leaves, which lended itself to a fair amount of comical situations!

The event was organized by the Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC), who serve as liaisons with the college administration and help foster relationships with the community by organizing fundraising and community service projects such as the leaf raking day. \"The student-athletes at Geneseo continue to impress me with their caring and desire to give back to the community,\" said SAAC Advisor and Sports Information Director George Gagnier. \"The athletes understand that a great many people in the community are supportive of their efforts through attendance at contests and membership in the Blue Knights Roundtable Booster Club.\"

The SAAC organizes four major community service projects per academic year, including leaf raking day, Adopt-a-Family for the holidays, participating in the MS Walk and volunteering at the Livingston-Wyoming-Genesee Special Olympics.

Tudman Selected For Chase Hall of Fame

JP Morgan Chase Hall of Fame
The JP Morgan Chase Scholarship Basketball Tournament, which is the oldest running NCAA Division III tourney in the nation, has announced its sixth class of inductees into the JP Morgan Chase Scholarship Basketball Tournament Hall of Fame in conjuction with its 37th annual event, which will be held this coming January 14-18.

The Hall of Fame's Clase of 2003 consists of two NCAA Division III All-American centers: Kristin Roseti of SUNY Brockport and Ian Tudman of SUNY Geneseo.

Tudman, a 6'8\", 245-lb pivotman who graduated from Spencerport High School in 1991, is one of just nine players to earn First Team All-Tournament status at least three times in 36 years of men's Tournament competition. He received these honors following Geneseo's title game appearances his sophomore (1992-93, beat St. John Fisher 79-75, scored 21 points with eight rebounds), junior (1993-94, lost to Fisher 65-63, 13 pts. and 10 rebs.), and senior (1994-95, lost to RIT 66-56, 11 pts. and 11 rebs.) years.

In 12 Tournament games, Tudman's Blue Knights posted an 8-4 mark, and he averaged 11.1 points and 6.8 rebounds per contest, hitting 48.2% (53-110) from the field and 60.0% (27-45) from the foul line. His single game Tournament bests...25 points, 12 rebounds...were both registered in Geneseo's 1994-95 semifinal 97-90 win over Hobart College.

Tudman, who graduated in 1995 as an Applied Physics major, finished his four year career under head coaches Tom Pope and Steve Holmes as Geneseo's third career scorer (1,410 pts.) and fourth all-time rebounder (774). His Blue Knights compiled a composite 79-27 (74.5%) won-loss mark, with NCAA Division III Tournament appearances in 1992-93 (23-4, reached NCAA Sweet 16), 1993-94 (22-5, Round of 32), and as a senior in 1994-95 (20-8, Sweet 16) when he was voted Second Team NCAA Division III All-American honors. Tudman and his wife Jelena live in LaPlace, Louisiana, where he works as an Industrial Hygienist for DuPont.
