This Is Bridgewater College...

Since 1880, Bridgewater College has championed an educational philosophy of traditional values, exceptional scholarship, meaningful activities and service to the community. Its application proves that

there are more ways than one in which to learn, grow and succeed.

Bridgewater offers an environment in which students can develop as whole persons using the distinctive Personal Development Portfolio (PDP) program. The program cultivates four dimensions of personal development: citizenship and community responsibility, intellectual growth and discovery, emotional maturation and physical health, and ethical and spiritual growth. It challenges students to develop their talents and to venture beyond their chosen disciplines to discover new interests and strengths.

At Bridgewater College, students will find outlets for their talents and energy that include top-notch theatrical productions, championship athletic teams, student-led spiritual opportunities and service-learning – a uniquely satisfying way in which to meet human needs while pursuing educational growth.

A member of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference and the NCAA Division III, Bridgewater is highly competitive and successful in both. It offers intercollegiate competition in 21 sports.

Bridgewater College is located in the heart of the breathtaking Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Nestled amid wooded hills, winding rivers and a picturesque township, it provides an atmosphere that is conducive to living, learning and developing the well-rounded, wholly educated student.

Nininger Hall

Nininger Hall is home to the Bridgewater men’s and women’s basketball teams along with the Eagles volleyball team.Buiilt in 1959, the building is one of the oldest basketball facilities in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, yet its intimate environment gives the BC teams a definite homecourt advantage. Nininger Hall capacity is 1,100 for BC basketball games.

Young, Untested Eagles Prepare To Do Battle In Tough ODAC

Bridgewater College head coach Don Burgess will look to compete in the rugged Old Dominion Athletic Conference this season with an untested and young squad.

Only two starters return from a year ago when the Eagles finished with a 10-15 record.

“We’ve got an interesting mix of players,” Burgess said. “We have some guys returning who are hungry for minutes because they have been role players for most of their careers.

“Then you add in a talented group of freshmen who bring a lot of athleticism, excitement and energy to the program. They’re hungry for minutes as well because they see an opportunity to play right away.’

Seniors Drew Maynard and Justin Brake are back and will join three more seniors in a class that will be counted on to im-prove production this season.

Maynard returns at the point and brings a steadying influ-ence on the court. He averaged two points per game a year ago and had a solid assist-to-turnover ratio with 52 assists and 38 turnovers.

Brake is a high-energy player who returns at a forward spot. He averaged 3.8 points and 2.7 rebounds in 14 minutes of action per game.

Kyle Hammond, a 6-3 senior, will see plenty of action at the second guard spot. He averaged 4.2 points per game and made 41 percent of his 3-point attempts.

Seniors Rick Maloney and Mark Gibbs could see their min-utes increase this season. At 6-8, Maloney provides much-needed size inside. He averaged three points and three rebounds per game in 12 minutes of action. Gibbs is a rugged inside player in the paint and should be a valuable asset on the boards.

Junior Cody Griffith will see time at both guard positions. He is the leading returning scorer at 5.0 points per game and one of the team’s top 3-point shooting threats.

Sophomore Russell White is a 6-6 banger who could see his playing time increase this season.

The rest of the roster features 12 first-year players. The class features a solid mix of players with six guards, four forwards and a couple of big men inside.

At the guard spot, Tavis Stapleton and Ronnie Thomas could figure into the rotation early. Stapleton is a 6-3 slasher with the ability to score while Thomas is a 6-4 guard who could develop into a lockdown defender. Rashaad Moore and Malcolm Dixon will both add quickness to the BC backcourt.

At the forward spot, Kenneth Waugh brings a smooth shooting stroke while David Larson and Daniel McClain add ath-leticism to the roster. Inside, 6-9 Romie Powell and 6-8 Josh Irwin provide the Eagles with some size in the paint.

The Eagles open their season Nov. 6 with an exhibition contest at Division I High Point University. Bridgewater opens its regular season at the Eastern Mennonite Classic in Nov. 19-20. The Eagles play Southern Virginia on Friday at 6:00 p.m. and then meet Penn State-Brandywine on Saturday, also at 6:00 p.m.

The Eagles home opener is Nov. 24 vs. Southern Virginia.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

Celebrating its 35th year of operations, the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) is one of the nation’s largest Division III conferences. The 14- member ODAC, including one associate member, stands as the second-largest multi-sport NCAA Division III conference in the country.

The league was formed on May 18, 1975 as the Virginia College Conference and began operations in September of 1976. (The name change to Old Dominion Athletic Conference became effective January 1, 1976). Charter members were eight colleges located in the state of Virginia: Bridgewater College, Eastern Mennonite College, Emory & Henry College, Hampden-Sydney College, Lynchburg College, Randolph-Macon College, Roanoke College and Washington and Lee University. From its initial year of operation through the 1981-82 academic year, the ODAC sponsored competition in 10 men’s varsity sports, including football, soccer, and cross country in the fall; basketball, wrestling, and indoor track and field in the winter; and baseball, golf, tennis, and outdoor track and field in the spring. Women’s sports were added prior to the 1982-83 school year. Today, the ODAC has grown to Sponsor championships in 22 sports (10 men and 12 women) and houses nine full-time coeducational institutions with four single-gender schools making up the current 13 full-time members. The confer-ence expanded in the late 1980s, early 1990s and most recently in 1999. Virginia Wesleyan became the 13th member of the conference in 1988 and began full-scale competition in the league in the 1989-90 academic year. Guilford College, voted into the conference in the spring of 1990, began competing for conference championships in the 1991-92 season. The Catholic University of America (DC) was accepted for associate membership in football on January 12, 1999.

Over the past 16 years the conference and the City of Salem, Va., have gained national attention through hosting five NCAA Division III championships in football, men’s basketball, softball, base-ball, women’s lacrosse, and volleyball. The growing list of titles passed out in Salem began in the fall of 1993 with the DIII Football Championship. Through the 2008-09 academic year, the conference and city have hosted 46 NCAA Division III Championships since the ‘93 Stagg Bowl. This year, the two will serve as hosts to the DIII football and men’s basketball championships.
