The Robert and Marilyn Rolfs Family All-Season Varsity Golf Facility, which is located at the Warren Golf Course on the northeast corner of the University of Notre Dame campus, was opened on Sept. 30, 2006 with a private dedication ceremony. The $2.1 million, 10,333-square foot facility is used by both the Irish men’s and women’s golf programs.

Season In Review

The !ve-person rotation of (from left to right) Becca Hu"er, Kristina Nhim, Katie Conway, Nicole Zhang and So-Hyun Park made history in 2011, qualifying the Irish for their !rst NCAA Championship appearance after placing !fth at the Central Regional.

20 U N I V E R S I T Y O F N O T R E D A M E ®

2010-11 Season In ReviewHead coach Susan Holt took the Notre

Dame women’s golf program to new heights in 2010-11, capturing the team’s fourth BIG EAST Championship en route to its !rst-ever appearance in the NCAA Championships.

Holt captured BIG EAST Coach of the Year honors after putting together one of the deep-est teams in program history. Four of her golf-ers earned all-BIG EAST honors, each of which posted one of the top-12 single-season stroke averages in Notre Dame history. As a team, the Irish took home four tournament titles, includ-ing back-to-back season-opening wins.

Senior So Hyun Park concluded her impres-sive career with a 76.12 stroke average, which is the fourth best in program history. Park earned all-BIG EAST honors for the third time in her career after averaging 75.89 strokes and appearing in every tournament for the Irish in 2010-11. She placed seventh at the BIG EAST Championship, the highest !nish of her career at the league’s !nal event.

“So-Hyun had a solid senior year and caped o" a great college golf career,” said Holt. “She has played a key role in the success of the pro-gram the past four years. So-Hyun struggled with her game/swing her junior year and I think the turn around she made this year was the most signi!cant of any player I have ever coached. She impressed me with her dedica-tion to get her game back.”

Junior Becca Hu"er became a two-time all-BIG EAST selection after posting the team’s second-lowest stroke average (74.9). She paced the Irish at three events, including a second-place !nish at the John Kirk/Panther Intercollegiate and a top-25 !nish at the NCAA Championships. Hu"er now owns two of the top-!ve single season stroke averages and will enter her senior year as the program’s career stroke average leader (minimum 40 rounds) with a 74.33 average.

“Becca Hu"er had yet another solid year,” remarked Holt. “She is a steady performer and is getting better each year. I look for her senior year to be a real break through year for her. Becca works hard on her game and when she is on she is tough to beat. She has the ability to hit so many quality golf shots and is so creative that she can compete with anyone.”

A pair of freshmen joined Park and Hu"er as all-BIG EAST selec-tions, as Nicole Zhang and Kristina Nhim earned the honor during their rookie campaigns. Zhang, who became Notre Dame’s !rst golfer to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open in 2010, led the team in stroke average at 74.33, the second-lowest in pro-gram history. She took home medalist honors in her !rst-career tour-nament, winning the Mary Fossum Invitational at Michigan State’s Forest Akers West with a nine-under 207. Zhang was the top player in seven of 12 tournaments on the season. Nhim, meanwhile, averaged 76.22 strokes per round during her rookie season, with her top !nish coming at the BIG EAST Championship (3rd, 222).

“Kristina Nhim had a really good freshman year,” stated Holt. “She played in every event and really got a lot of valuable experience. She will be a key piece once again next year for the team. Behind Becca she will be the player with the most tournament experience returning. Kristina has a calm demeanor on the course, which should continue to serve her well in the future. It is a great quality for a golfer to have.”

Senior Katie Conway and junior Katie Allare rounded out the Irish lineup. Conway posted an average of 77.6 in 34 rounds, while Allare averaged 78 3 in 18 rounds.

“Katie Conway I think saved her best for last,” said Holt. “She had a great senior year and did what she needed to do for the team to be suc-cessful. She had a number of key rounds for us and had a great competitive spirit about her all year. She had fun playing the game and as a result played well.

“Katie Allare got a lot of playing experience this year and I think it will give her the con!-dence she needs heading into her senior year,

continued Holt. “Katie is a hard worker and needs to get more out of her game. I think if she can manage her game better she will get the lower scores she deserves.”

The Irish opened the season in impressive fashion, as Zhang carded a nine-under 207 to take home medalist honors and lead the Irish to the team title at the Mary Fossum Invitational, hosted by Michigan State. Park (223/+9) and Hu"er (226/+10) joined her in the top 10, !nishing eighth and tenth, respec-tively. The Irish carded three-straight sub-300 rounds to !nish with a total of 897 and win the team title by !ve strokes.

Notre Dame followed that up with another team victory, this time on their home course. The Irish won the William K. Warren Irish Invitational by !ve strokes with a team total of 905. Zhang again paced the squad, this time carding a two-over 218 for a second-place !n-ish. Every Notre Dame golfer !nished in the top 35 of the 74-member !eld as the Irish remained undefeated as a team.

Notre Dame then took its act south as they reached the halfway point of the fall season at

the Mercedes-Benz Championship at Holston Hills in Knoxville, Tenn. The Irish !nished !fth in the 15-team !eld that included two nationally-ranked teams. Zhang led the way again, shoot-ing even-par 216 to place ninth. Park joined Zhang in the top-15, shooting a one-over 217 to !nish tied for 13th.

The Landfall Tradition in Wilmington, N.C., was the next stop for the Irish. For the !rst time on the season, Hu"er led Notre Dame with a 281 (+2). Her rounds of 72, 73 and 73 earned her a sixth place !nish. As a team, the Irish placed sixth in the 18-team !eld that again featured two-ranked foes.

The Irish !nished up the fall season strong with a third place !nish at The Alamo Invitational in San Antonio, Texas. Zhang returned to the top of the Irish lineup, carding rounds of 72, 73 and 70 for a one-under total of 215. She earned a third-place !nish while Park’s 217 was good for a tie for fourth and Nhim’s 220 earned her a tie for ninth. Notre Dame !nished just !ve strokes behind tourna-ment champion TCU after carding a 295 for the low team score of the third round.

After breaking for most of November, December and January, the Irish returned to action February 21-22 at the Central District Invitational in Parrish, Fla. Notre Dame strug-gled a bit to kick o" the rust of winter, placing 10th in the 15-team !eld. Zhang was the only one who seemed unfazed by the layo", post-ing a three-over 219 to earn a top-10 !nish.

The Irish rebounded nicely at the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational in Kanehoe, Hawaii.

The squad showcased its depth, with four players placing in the top 20 of a 104-player !eld. Park led the way with a 225 and a seventh-place !nish. Nhim was two strokes behind with a 227 that earned her a tie for 12th. Zhang’s 228 earned her a tie for 14th while Hu"er’s 229 was good for a tie for 17th. As a team, Notre Dame was just two strokes behind sec-ond-place and 10th-ranked Arizona.

Notre Dame rode that momentum to a team title at the John Kirk/Panther Intercollegiate in Stock-bridge, Ga., which featured eight teams in the top 100 nationally. The Irish ran away with the title, !nish-ing 17 strokes ahead of second-place Maryland. Hu"er earned BIG EAST Women’s Golfer of the Week honors after !nishing second with a !ve-under 211, just one stroke behind the medalist. Nhim joined Hu"er in the top-10 with a 223 that was good for a tie for ninth.

The regular season concluded at the Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic at the University of Georgia Golf Course. In a unique setting, that saw each team’s !ve golfers play together then count the best four scores on each hole, the Irish earned a tie for ninth in a 23-team !eld that featured !ve top-10 opponents and a total of 11 top-25 opponents. Zhang paced the Irish with a 224 that earned her a tie for 15th.

The Irish began postseason play at the BIG EAST Championship, hosted by South Florida at the prestigious Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Fla. Notre Dame led at the conclusion of all three rounds and placed every golfer in the top 12 of the !eld en route to their fourth league title. Nhim earned a third place !nish with a six-over 222, while Hu"er was just one stroke behind in fourth with a 223. Park placed seventh in her !nal BIG EAST appearance, giv-ing her four top-10 !nishes in four years. Conway and Zhang !nished in 11th and 12th, respectively.

The BIG EAST Championship earned Notre Dame an automatic bid to the NCAA Central Regional, played for the !rst time at the Warren Golf Course. Needing a top-eight !nish to advance to the NCAA Championships, the Irish placed in !fth behind the e"orts of their dynamic freshmen duo. Zhang was the top !nisher for Notre Dame with a seven-over 223 that placed her in a tie for eighth, while Nhim posted a 224 that earned her a tie for 14th. Hu"er was not far behind, carding a 226 (+10) for a tie for 22nd. As a team, the Irish posted a

298 on the !nal day of competition, beating out Ohio State for the !fth spot by four strokes and advancing to the NCAA Championships for the !rst time in program history.

The Irish traveled to Bryan, Texas, for the NCAA Championship at Traditions Golf Club and placed 22nd. Hu"er led the charge, card-ing a four-round total of 296 (+8) that earned her a tie for 24th in the nation. Conway put together an impressive score of 307 to earn a top-100 !nish.

“This was really a season of meeting expec-tations,” concluded Holt. “The very !rst time I met with the team I told them that they make up the four best recruiting classes in the his-tory of Notre Dame women's golf and with that they should expect great things. I think in the end they did just that, by winning three regular season events, winning the BIG EAST championship, qualifying for regionals for a record three consecutive times, advancing to the !nals for the !rst time in program history, having the lowest stroke average in the history of the program (299 70) and winning the high-est team G.P.A. award both semesters. It was a great year on the course and in the classroom.”

Holt and assistant coach Kyle Lynne Veltri will look to keep the Irish on the national scene in 2011-12. Hu"er and Nhim will return from the 2010-11 squad, while the team adds another pair of talented freshmen in Ashley Armstrong and Kelli Oride. Oride becomes the !fth top-25 recruit brought to Notre Dame by Holt and Veltri, joining Conway, Park, Hu"er and Zhang. The Lihue, Hawaii, native placed in the top 25 at both the 2010 USGA Girls Junior Amateur (25th of 156) and the Callaway Junior World Golf Championships (20th of 137), while also qualifying for the USGA Public Links which was held at the Warren. Armstrong ranks in the top 50 of both the Jr. Golfweek and Jr. Golf Scoreboard. She earned eight top-10 !nishes in AJGA tournaments, including three second-place !nishes.

For the !rst time in the program’s 23-year his-tory, the 2011 edition of the Notre Dame wom-en’s golf team qualified for the NCAA Championship, which was held in Bryan, Texas, at the Traditions Golf Course. After having quali!ed for NCAA regional competition seven of the past eight seasons, including a string of now four con-secutive years, the Irish earned the berth to the NCAA Championship with a !fth-place showing at the 2011 NCAA Central Regional which was played on their very own Warren Golf Course.

Led by a dynamic e"ort by freshmen Nicole Zhang (223, +7) and Kristina Nhim (224, +8), the Irish concluded the three-round Central Regional with a !nal tally of 901 (+37) to !nish in sole pos-session of !fth place. With a top-eight result amongst the 24-team !eld, Notre Dame ensured its place in the NCAA Championship, !nishing in 22nd with a 72-hole count of 1,224 (+72). Junior Becca Hu"er played admirably at the tourna-ment, earning a share of 24th individually with a score of 296 (+8).

Nicole Zhang’s total of 223 (+7) aided her to a share of eighth place individually at the 2011 NCAA Central Regional and helped the Irish qualify for their !rst-ever NCAA Championship appearance with a team score of 901 (+37).

Becca Hu"er showed little nerves at her !rst NCAA Championship appearance, tying for 24th individually with a 72-hole mark of 296 (+8) to pace the Irish rotation.

Coaching Sta!

The Irish coaching sta! of Susan Holt and Kyle Lynne Veltri piloted Notre Dame to the most successful season in program history in 2010-11, earning a spot in the NCAA Championships for the "rst time ever. In "ve seasons under Holt, the Irish have won 10 tournaments, including two BIG EAST Championships, and have quali"ed for the NCAA Central Regional each of the past four seasons.


Head Coach

SusanHolt

Head CoachFifth YearOhio State University ’88

In !ve seasons as the Fighting Irish women’s golf head coach, Susan Holt, the 2011 BIG EAST Coach of the Year, has ushered the program into a period of unprecedented success that includes an active streak of four consecutive NCAA Regional appearances, including the !rst NCAA team appearance in program history in 2011.

Additionally, the top-four season stroke aver-ages in program history have been set under her watch. In Holt’s tenure, the Irish have won 10 tournaments titles and captured two BIG EAST Championship crowns in both 2008 and '11, while her players have garnered medalist honors on six occasions.

Holt was introduced as head coach of the University of Notre Dame women’s golf program in August of 2006. She became the second full-time head coach in the history of the Fighting Irish program and the fourth overall since wom-en’s golf became a varsity sport prior to the 1988-89 season.

During the past '11 campaign, Holt led the Irish to four !rst-place !nishes. The team won the

Mary Fossum Invitational to begin the 2010-11 sea-son, followed by a victory on their home course, at the William K. Warren Invitational. Then, at the John Kirk/Intercollegiate Classic the Irish !nished !rst, before capturing the BIG EAST title where Nicole Zhang, Becca Hu"er, So-Hyun Park and Kristina Nhim each earned all-BIG EAST honors.

In her fourth season, Holt guided the Irish to a third consecutive NCAA Central Regional appear-ance – the !rst time Notre Dame has played in three straight NCAA Regional !elds – and led the Irish to the fourth-best season stroke average with a 306.60 mark. Notre Dame’s best !nish of the season came at the Alamo Invitational when the Irish shot a combined four-over par 292 to tie for sec-ond in the 12-team !eld. While Annie Brophy earned co-medalist hon-ors at the event, Becca Hu"er, So-Hyun Park and Katie Conway all !red two-over par 74s to round out the scoring. Notre Dame also !nished third at both the Bettie Lou Evans Invite (tie) and the 2010 BIG EAST Championship.

Three of Holt’s players earned all-BIG EAST accolades in 2010 including Brophy, Conway and Hu"er. With her fourth such honor, Brophy became just the second player in program his-tory to earn all-BIG EAST accolades four times, while she and Hu"er had the added distinction of being two of the six unanimous selections to the 12-person team.

In her !ve seasons with the Irish, Holt has seen 10 of her players combine to win 19 All-BIG EAST honors. Additionally, Hu"er earned BIG EAST Rookie of the Year accolades in 2009.

During the 2009-10 campaign, Holt presided over one of the program’s best individual perfor-mances as Hu"er put together one of Notre Dame’s most statistically impressive seasons. Hu"er recorded a 74.90 stroke average, which is the third-best mark in program history. She also saw all 30 of her rounds counted towards team scoring and she led the Irish at six of their 11 tournaments. At the end of a dominating season in which she !nished in the top-20 at 10 of 11 events, Hu"er narrowly missed individual quali!-cation for the NCAA Championship !eld but, with her tie for 16th at the NCAA Central Regional, she turned in the best ever !nish by a Notre Dame golfer in NCAA play.

In 2008-09, Holt led the Irish back to the NCAA Central Regional for the second consecutive year, marking just the second time in program history that Notre Dame quali!ed for NCAA play in back-to-back seasons. She did so with the Irish playing a challenging slate of tournaments that included the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge in Palos Verdes, Calif. and the Bryan National Collegiate in Greensboro, N.C. The Irish were ranked inside the Golfstat top-25 for parts of the season for the second consecutive year and they captured the Heather Farr Memorial Tournament, !nishing with a program low score of 858 (-6), besting the previous record by 12 strokes. The Irish combined to post a 303.39 stroke average for the season, a mark bested only by a 300.47 mark recorded in 2007-08. The Irish !nished in the top-!ve in four of the 11 tournaments on the season and registered 16 top-15 individual show-ings.

Holt !elded a team that earned four all-BIG EAST accolades. The four all-league members tied a program record, which had also been achieved the previous two seasons under Holt. The Irish also combined to post three of the !ve lowest rounds in school history and four of the top-eight tournament totals in program history. Hu"er claimed BIG EAST Freshman of the Year honors, while Lisa Maunu claimed medalist hon-ors at the 2009 BIG EAST Tournament, Notre Dame’s second medalist in as many years at the event.

Three seasons ago, in Holt’s second season with the Irish, Notre Dame won the 2008 BIG EAST title. Holt was named the conference’s coach of the year after putting together what turned out to be a record-breaking campaign in many ways. The Irish produced a school-record 300.47 stroke average and won a program-best !ve tournaments, including the BIG EAST cham-pionship. Three straight wins to open the season signi!ed another program milestone for the Irish. Three golfers combined to win four tournaments on the season and the year was capped with a trip to the NCAA Central Regional in Austin, Texas.

After the record breaking 2007-08 campaign, Park became the program’s !rst All-America hon-oree as she copped honorable mention All-America accolades from the National Golf Coaches Association and Golfweek magazine. Park won two tournaments on the year and posted a single season-best 73.63 stroke average.

The 2007-08 season commenced with a win at the Cougar Classic in Hanahan, S.C. Maunu earned med-alist honors by !ring a school-record three-round total of 210 (-6). Maunu’s !rst-round six-under par 66 also represented a program record. Notre Dame followed that with a victory at the Napa River Grill Cardinal Cup in Simpsonville, Ky. Park made it a second clean sweep for the Fighting Irish as she claimed the victory. The Irish made it three- in-a-row with a triumph at the Wolverine Invitational in Ann Arbor, Mich.

A fourth team victory was achieved in the spring at the Rio Verde Collegiate Invitational in Rio Verde, Ariz. For the third time on the year, Notre Dame swept the hardware as Park captured the individual title.

Holt and the Irish then delivered on one of the team’s goals for the year by winning the BIG EAST title by nine shots over two-time defending con-ference champion Louisville in Batavia, Ohio. Brophy became the !rst Notre Dame golfer to win the BIG EAST title outright. Brophy and three of her teammates went on to claim all-confer-ence accolades.

In all, the Irish !nished in the top-!ve in nine of the 11 tournaments on the season and registered 20 top-10 individual showings. Notre Dame also reached as high as 12th in the Golfstat rankings during the year. That was the highest ranking ever for the Irish, who had two freshmen and two sophomores in the !ve-person scoring lineup all season long. Notre Dame garnered the ninth seed in the NCAA Central Regional before !nish-ing 16th.

In her !rst campaign with the Fighting Irish, Holt’s team posted a then school-record scoring average of 305.46 during the 2006-07 season. Holt steered Notre Dame to a runner-up !nish at the 2007 BIG EAST Championship. The Irish tied

Louisville with a season-best 891 (+27) total dur-ing the 54-hole event but Notre Dame fell to the Cardinals by one stroke in the !rst hole of a sud-den-death playo". The Irish tied a program record by placing four student-athletes on the all-BIG EAST Team with the !ne performance at the 2007 BIG EAST Championship.

Throughout the season, Notre Dame pro-duced two runner-up !nishes, including one at the Lady Irish Invitational. The other second-place !nish occurred at Kansas’ Marilynn Smith Sun#ower Invitational. The results were even more impressive given the Irish squad featured three freshmen in the !ve-person scoring lineup during the entire spring semester.

Notre Dame also made history when senior co-captain Noriko Nakazaki became the !rst team member in program history to qualify for NCAA play as an individual entrant. Nakazaki carded a three-round score of 224 (+11) to place

in a tie for 18th at the NCAA Central Regional in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Holt’s presence at the head of the Fighting Irish program has also produced big dividends on the recruiting trail. Holt brought in the top recruiting class in program history for the 2007-08 season as Notre Dame’s Class of 2011 was comprised of Conway and Park, who were both ranked in the top-25 nationally. Another stellar class that featured Hu"er- also a top-25 recruit- and Katie Allare joined the Irish in the fall of 2008. In the fall of 2010, the highly touted duo of Kristina Nhim and Nicole Zhang, who is also a top-25 recruit and a quali!er for the '10 U S. Women's Open, joined the Irish last fall.

In addition to their performances on the course, Holt’s teams have excelled academically as well. Twenty-seven times, her players have been named to the National Golf Coaches Association All-Scholar Golf Team (3.5 grade-point average and play in 66 percent of events). In 2010-11, six of her players earned BIG EAST Academic All-Star honors, bringing her !ve-year total to 25 BIG EAST Academic All-Star honors while leading the Irish program.

Holt came to Notre Dame from the University of South Florida, where she spent 13 successful seasons guiding the Bulls. In her !nal season, USF joined the BIG EAST Conference and she led the Bulls to a tie for third, along with the Irish, in their inaugural BIG EAST tournament.

“First and foremost, I was attracted by the opportunity to come to what I believe is the best academic and athletic combination that’s out there,” says Holt on why she decided to come to Notre Dame following a successful run at South Florida.

“The commitment to the golf program with the course and the new indoor facility makes a statement. As a coach you want to know that you have a chance to be successful and you can tell that’s how it is at Notre Dame and it’s impressive to see that.”

A native of Dayton, Ohio, Holt made a return to the Midwest, where she began her college coach-

ing career at Purdue University, with her hiring at Notre Dame. She was at the helm of the women’s golf pro-gram at Purdue for four seasons from 1990-93 before taking the position at South Florida.

Holt directed the USF program to 16 team titles and 17 runner-up !n-ishes, including !ve of 10 Conference USA Championships. She guided the team and/or individuals to 11 NCAA Regional appearances and trips to the NCAA Championship Finals in 2001 and 2002.

Holt’s teams at South Florida won at least one tournament in 10 of her 13 seasons and she was recognized as the Conference USA Coach of the Year in 1996, 1999 and 2001. In the spring of 2005, Holt was named Conference USA Coach of the Decade for wom-en’s golf (1995-2005). Under Holt’s

watch, South Florida players were named to the Conference USA All-Conference Team 23 times. Current LPGA player and South Florida graduate Kelly Lagedrost was named Conference USA Player of the Year in 2001. Former South Florida golfer Christina Jones was named Conference USA Freshman of the Year in 2005.

Prior to college coaching, Holt worked as a club professional in West Palm Beach, Fla., and in Ipswich, Mass. She is a 1988 graduate of Ohio State University, where she played on the wom-en’s golf team that won Big Ten Championships in 1985 and 1988 and played in the NCAA Championship those same years.

Holt graduated from Fairmont High School in Kettering, Ohio. She has been a member of the PGA of America since 1992.

Susan married Tim Holt of Kokomo, Ind., in 1993 and they are the parents of two children, Justin and Kristin. Tim, who is also a PGA mem-ber, is the current head coach at nearby Holy Cross College.


Assistant Coach

Kyle LynneVeltri

Assistant CoachSixth YearSaint Mary’s College (Ind.) ‘01

Kyle Lynne Veltri completed her sixth season as the assistant women’s golf coach at the University of Notre Dame with the conclusion of the 2010-11 campaign. Since teaming up with current head coach Susan Holt prior to the 2006-07 season, Veltri has helped the Fighting Irish post the top-!ve scoring averages in program history while also leading the Irish to four con-secutive NCAA Central Regional appearances and the NCAA Championships for the !rst time in the program’s 23-year history in 2010-11. In fact, if you take into account her !rst year as an Irish assistant coach, the 2005-06 season, Veltri has been a part of the top-six scoring averages in program history.

Veltri, a 2001 graduate from Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Ind., and a recipient of a Master’s of Science and Education degree from Indiana University in May of 2009, returned to the Notre Dame community when she was hired in August of 2005.

In 2010-11, Veltri helped lead the Irish to their !rst-ever NCAA Championship appearance and fourth BIG EAST Championship. Notre Dame posted a stroke average of 299 53, the lowest in program history. All !ve golfers in the regular lineup currently rank in the top-10 in stroke aver-age in program history. So-Hyun Park, Becca Hu"er, Nicole Zhang and Kristina Nhim each received all-BIG EAST honors. The Irish won three regular season team titles (Mary Fossum Invitational, William K. Warren Irish Invite and John Kirk/Panther Intercollegiate), in addition to the BIG EAST Championship. Veltri also helped secure a recruiting class for 2011-12 that includes the !fth top-25 player brought in during her ten-ure in Kelli Oride.

In her !fth season, Veltri helped the Irish to a third consecutive NCAA Central Regional appear-ance – the !rst time Notre Dame has played in three straight NCAA Regional !elds – and led the Irish to the !fth-best season stroke average with a 306.60 mark. Notre Dame’s best !nish of the season came at the Alamo Invitational when the Irish shot a combined four-over par 292 to tie for second in the 12-team !eld. At the Alamo Invitational, Annie Brophy earned co-medalist honors to become just the sixth golfer in pro-gram history to win multiple individual titles, having already captured medalist honors at the 2008 BIG EAST Championship. Notre Dame also !nished third at both the Bettie Lou Evans Invite (tie) and the 2010 BIG EAST Championship.

Three of Veltri’s players earned All-BIG EAST honors in 2010 including Brophy, Katie Conway and Hu"er. With her fourth such honor, Brophy became just the second player in program his-

tory to earn all-BIG EAST accolades four times, while she and Hu"er had the added distinction of being two of the six unanimous selections to the 12-player team. In her six seasons with the Irish, Veltri has seen eight of her players combine to win 20 all-BIG EAST honors.

Known as an excellent recruiter, Veltri has helped the Irish welcome the top recruits in pro-gram history during her !ve years at Notre Dame. Holt and Veltri brought in Notre Dame’s top rated recruiting class at the start of the 2007-08 season as the Class of 2011 was comprised of Conway and So-Hyun Park, who were both ranked in the top-25 nationally. Another stellar class that fea-tured Hu"er- also a top-25 recruit- and Katie Allare joined the Irish in the fall of 2008. In the fall of 2010, the highly touted duo of Zhang and Nhim joined the Irish. Zhang was another top-25 recruit who recently quali!ed for the 2010 U.S. Women's Open, becoming the !rst member of the Fighting Irish women’s golf family to play in the premier event. Nhim was a top-50 recruit who matched Zhang by achieving All-BIG EAST honors as rookies. The 2011-12 class includes Oride and Ashley Armstrong, who will look to have an immediate impact on the Irish lineup.

One of Veltri’s prized recruits, Hu"er, put together one of the program’s best individual performances in 2009-10. She recorded a 74.90 stroke average, which is the fourth-best mark in program history, and saw all 30 of her rounds counted towards team scoring. Hu"er also led the Irish at six of their 11 tournaments. At the end of her dominating 2009-10 season, in which she !nished in the top-20 at 10 of 11 events, Hu"er narrowly missed individual quali!cation for the NCAA Championship !eld. But with her tie for 16th at the 2010 NCAA Central Regional, she turned in the best ever !nish by a Notre Dame golfer in NCAA play.

Two years ago, during the 2008-09 season, the Irish combined to post three of the !ve lowest rounds in school history and four of the top-eight tournament totals in program history. Notre Dame also captured the Heather Farr Memorial Tournament, !nishing with a program low score of 858 (-6), besting the previous mark by 12 strokes. The Irish combined to post a 303.39 stroke average for the season, the second-best mark in program history.

The Irish !nished in the top-!ve in four of their 11 tournaments on the season and registered 16 top-15 individual showings. Veltri helped !eld a team that earned four all-BIG EAST accolades, tying a program record for conference all-star selections.

The Irish opened the 2007-08 season with a win at the Cougar Classic in Hanahan, S.C. Lisa Maunu earned medalist honors by !ring a school-record three-round total of 210 (-6). Maunu’s !rst-round six-under par 66 also repre-sented a program record. Notre Dame followed that with a victory at the Napa River Grill Cardinal Cup in Simpsonville, Ky. Park made it a second clean sweep for the Fighting Irish as she claimed the victory. The Irish made it three in a row with a triumph at the Wolverine Invitational in Ann Arbor, Mich.

A fourth team victory was achieved in the spring at the Rio Verde Collegiate Invitational in Rio Verde, Ariz. For the third time on the year, Notre Dame swept the hardware as Park cap-tured the individual title.

The Irish then delivered on one of the team’s goals for the year by winning the BIG EAST title by nine shots over two-time defending confer-

ence champion Louisville in Batavia, Ohio. Brophy became the !rst golfer in program history to win the BIG EAST title outright. Brophy and three of her teammates garnered all-conference acco-lades.

Notre Dame !nished in the top-!ve in nine of the 11 tournaments on the 2007-08 season and registered 20 top-10 individual showings. The Fighting Irish were also ranked 12th in the Golfstat rankings during the fall. That was the highest ranking ever for the Irish, who had two freshmen and two sophomores in the !ve-per-son scoring lineup all season long. Notre Dame garnered the ninth seed in the NCAA Central Regional before !nishing 16th.

After the record breaking 2007-08 campaign, Park became the program’s !rst All-America hon-oree as she copped honorable mention All-America accolades from the National Golf Coaches Association and Golfweek magazine. Park won two tournaments on the year and posted a single season-best 73.63 stroke average. Park also won two tournaments.

In her second season at Notre Dame, Veltri was an instrumental part with the transition after the hiring of new head coach Susan Holt in August of 2007. Veltri coached the Irish in their !rst event of the fall season, while Holt was still with her for-mer team at the University of South Florida.

On the season, Veltri helped a young Irish squad that featured three freshmen in the !ve-person scoring lineup during the spring semes-ter. The team posted impressive numbers, including a then-program-record 305.46 stroke average for the entire 2006-07 campaign.

Notre Dame tied a program record by placing four student-athletes on the all-BIG EAST Team after a !ne performance at the 2007 BIG EAST Championship. The Irish were tied with Louisville following the 54-hole event with a season-best 891 (+27) total, but Notre Dame fell by one stroke in the !rst hole of a sudden-death playo" to the Cardinals.

Notre Dame produced two runner-up !nishes, including one at the Lady Irish Invitational. The other second-place !nish occurred at Kansas’ Marilynn Smith Sun#ower Invitational. Notre Dame also made history as senior co-captain Noriko Nakazaki became the !rst team member in program history to qualify for NCAA play as an individual entrant.

In her !rst season as a Notre Dame assistant, Veltri helped guide the Fighting Irish to a (then) school record 306.66 scoring average. The Irish had seven top-!ve !nishes, including a win at the Notre Dame Invitational.

Before her arrival at Notre Dame, Veltri com-piled seven years of experience in the golf indus-try, tracing all the way back to her work at the Notre Dame/Saint Mary’s College Nike Golf Camp in 1999 and 2000. The Clarksburg, W. Va., native also worked at Notre Dame’s Warren Golf Course as a golf shop assistant during her time at Saint Mary’s.

Following her graduation from Saint Mary’s College, Veltri worked for nearly one year at Captain’s Choice Golf Services Inc. in Orlando, Fla., where she served as management/tourna-ment coordinator while also working in sales. During the summers of 2003 and 2004, Veltri served as an instructor/counselor at the Stonewall Resort Nike Golf Camp in Roanoke, W. Va. Prior to her arrival at Notre Dame, she worked at the Palmer Course at the Stonewall Resort as the assistant golf professional for three years.

After serving as a B-17 navigator with the Eighth Air Corps during World War II, Thomas accepted a football scholarship to Purdue University. He served as a backup quarterback to All-American Bob DeMoss.

Thomas also was a four-year member of the golf team at Purdue. During his playing days at Purdue, Thomas was a member on the NCAA runner-up squad for the Boilermakers in 1950. He graduated from the Purdue School of Pharmacy and served as a pharmacist for 12 years while playing professionally.

The longtime member of the Notre Dame community earned an honorary monogram from the Notre Dame Monogram Club in 1999.

Tom Hanlon has been involved with the wom-en’s program from its days as a club sport through its transition to a varsity sport. He served as co-head coach, along with George Thomas, of the Fighting Irish women’s team when they began varsity play in 1988. He and Thomas served in that role until 1993.

Hanlon has been linked with Notre Dame golf since his playing days back in the 1940’s. He was a member of Notre Dame’s 1944 NCAA champi-onship team. Following the 1944 NCAA competi-tion, Hanlon joined the Navy and served on a cruiser in the Paci!c during World War II.

After being discharged at the end of the war, Hanlon returned to Notre Dame and received a Bachelor of Science degree in pre-medicine in 1949.

Warren Golf CourseThe date of May 1, 2000, marked the begin-

ning of a new era in the history of Notre Dame golf as the University unveiled the champion-ship-caliber William K. and Natalie O. Warren Golf Course at Notre Dame.

Since its opening date, the course has been hailed as one of the best courses in America by Golf Digest and has been featured in Links Magazine and Golf Digest as a must-play venue.

Through the generous donation of Notre Dame alumnus and Tulsa, Okla., resident Bill Warren (’56), the University features an impres-sive 18-hole golf course, located a stone’s throw away from the northeast corner of campus. Constructed in a heavily wooded area, the facil-ity is bordered by Douglas Road to the south, Juniper Road to the west, Ironwood Drive to the east and the Indiana Toll Road to the north.

Since its inception, the Warren has played host to many marquee events. Most recently, the Warren played host to the NCAA Central Regional Championship, on May 5-7, 2011. The Warren also was the host site for the 2010 NCAA Men’s Central Regional. The course also will continue to play host to the men’s Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic Tournament.

The course was designed by the Austin, Texas-based architectural team of Coore and Crenshaw, headed by Bill Coore and PGA Tour veteran Ben Crenshaw. Coore began his design and construc-tion career in 1972 with noted course architect Pete Dye and formed his own company in 1982 before joining forces with Crenshaw four years later.

Founded in 1986, Coore and Crenshaw has established a reputation for creating courses based on traditional, strategic golf, including: the Plantation Course at the Kapalua Resort in Maui, Hawaii; Cuscowilla Golf Club in Greensboro, Ga.; Sand Hills Golf Club in Mullen, Neb.; Barton Creek Club in Austin; the New Town Golf Club in Indonesia; Talking Stick in Scottsdale, Ariz.; and the East Hampton Golf Club on Long Island. Most recently, they designed the highly acclaimed Bandon Dunes in Oregon.

Coore and Crenshaw also has undertaken several renovation projects, including the Southern Hills Country Club (in Tulsa) and the Prairie Dunes Golf Club (located in Kansas). The

!rm oversaw nine-hole additions to the Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa and the Onion Creek Country Club in Austin.

The existing Notre Dame Memorial Golf Course, located on the southwest side of cam-pus, served as an 18-hole facility for the Notre Dame community until 1993, when the back nine was lost due to the addition of four campus dormitories and several athletic !elds. The 70-year-old University course remains a conve-nient nine-hole facility available to the campus community.

“After losing the back nine of the existing course, Mr. Warren came forward with an interest in developing a new 18-hole, championship course,” said Notre Dame special assistant to the president Rev. E. William Beauchamp, C.S.C. ”It then became apparent that this was a project worth pursuing.”

Since Mr. Warren was familiar with the team of Coore and Crenshaw through its work in Tulsa, it was a very natural !t.

“We are very grateful for Mr. Warren’s generos-ity,” said Beauchamp. “Such a championship-level course allows our golf teams to be more com-petitive on a national level. The course is intended to bene!t the entire Notre Dame community while still retaining the existing course as a nine-hole facility for instructional purposes.”

Course construction began on March 1, 1997, with the !rst actual phases of dirt movement beginning two months later. Many of the day-to-day tasks were coordinated by the University’s department of facility engineering, under the ultimate supervision of associate vice president for business operations Jim Lyphout. The project also was coordinated by former associate athletic director Bubba Cunningham, who had responsi-bilities for athletic facility and !nancial a"airs at the time.

Final construction was overseen by Doug Marsh, director of the Notre Dame facilities engi-neering o$ce. Assisting in this monumental task was Butch Layman, a construction administrator in the facilities engineering o$ce.

South Bend-based Rieth Reilly Construction was contracted to handle the movement of approximately 100,000 yards of dirt. Another local company, Ziolkowski Construction, han-

Warren Golf Course Earns Top-15 Ranking From Golf Digest

The University of Notre Dame's Warren Golf Course has been chosen as one of the top 15 college courses in the nation, according to a feature article in the September 2005 issue of Golf Digest. The magazine used a variety of criteria in rating the various layouts, including shot values, resistance to scoring, design variety, memorability, aes-thetics, conditioning, ambience and bonus walking points. The Warren Golf Course was ranked 15th in the country and is one of the newest courses on the 2005 Golf Digest list.

The ranking from Golf Digest is only one of honors for the Warren Golf Course in its brief history. Here's a partial list of the accolades the Notre Dame layout has received since opening in 2000:

able to #y it to the #ag. A !rmer surface allows for both options. This type of maintenance plan also requires fewer chemical applications and less water, which will allow for an environmentally-friendly course.” The designers received full per-mits to realign the existing Juday Creek that runs through the course and environmental safe-guards were a priority in design and construc-tion. A new creek channel was opened, resulting in a complete created habitat. The creek winds through the !nishing holes,

which are noted for heavy woods and change of elevations – providing a beautiful, challenging completion to the inward nine. Constant moni-toring of the creek ensures a healthy and natural environment.

Some 4,400 native hardwood trees and shrubs were planted to increase the stream's canopy cover. Approximately 360 large boulders, along with gravel and logs, were added to the slopes and bed to enhance !sh habitat while a perma-nent sediment trap was installed. A combination of pest management, drainage and !ltration techniques minimizes the use and impact of fer-tilizers and pesticides while 2,200 feet of new shaded stream course were created to relocate the stream from the golf course proper.

Environmental engineers J.F. New & Associates directed these aspects of the project, and Ronald A. Hellenthal, professor of biological sciences at Notre Dame and Gillen Director of its Environmental Research Center, reviewed the plans and continues to monitor the creek.

Two lakes add to the challenge of the course, with one stationed between the third and fourth holes while another provides a hazard from the tee of the 17th hole. Water comes into play with the existing Juday Creek winding through holes 16 and 18 while additional creeks were added on holes 10 and 18. The 7,000-foot clubhouse – designed by Moake-Park Group Inc. of Fort Wayne, Ind., in a French Country style – was completed in June of ’99. The building matches the period of the course architecture (early 1900s), with a classic “clinker” style brick exterior. The design is completed by copper cupolas, dor-mers and trim, a slate roof and an enclosed porch. Brick !replaces are located on both sides of the building, which welcomes the University community to venture over for lunch, meetings or shopping.

The clubhouse is open to the public and houses some of the !nest in men’s and women’s golf apparel, with both the Warren Golf Course logo as well as traditional Notre Dame merchan-dise and souvenirs. The Warren Grille, which is operated by Notre Dame Food Services, serves traditional golf course fare as well as specialty items and sandwiches.

Warren Golf Course Recognized For Environmental Excellence

The William K. and Natalie O. Warren Golf Course has achieved designation as a “Certi!ed Audobon Cooperative Sanctuary” by the Audobon Cooperative Sanctuary System (ACSS), the educational divi-sion of Audobon International.

The Warren Course was the sixth course in Indiana and the 335th in the world to achieve this honor.“The Warren Golf Course has shown strong commitment to its environmental program. They are

to be commended for their e"orts to provide sanctuary for wildlife on the golf course property,” said Joellen Zeh, sta" ecologist for the ACSS.

“To reach certi!cation, a course must demonstrate that they are maintaining a high degree of environmental quality in a number of areas,” said Zeh.

“We are extremely proud to be certi!ed Audobon Cooperative Sanctuary,” said Kim Hocker, the now former golf course superintendent at the Warren Golf Course. ”From the beginning, it was the goal of the University of Notre Dame to create an environmentally-sound golf course. In addition, the overwhelming positive response from golfers and the local community has made our e"orts worth-while.”

dled construction of the course’s buildings and other structures.

Final details of the course were directed by Tom Beck, construction superintendent for Coore and Crenshaw, and his associate Je" Bradley. Kim Hocker, the now former golf course superintendent of the Warren Golf Course and the existing University golf course, and his dedi-cated sta" added their expertise to the success-ful !nish of the project.

Final construction – completed in the fall of 1999 – included grading and seeding of the driv-ing range, construction of tee areas around the clubhouse, completion of the many strategically-placed bunkers, overseeding of the fairways and roughs, and the de!ning of the course during the “grow-in” period. A number of trees and ornamental grasses were planted to add !nish-ing touches.

Brian Godfrey was named the !rst PGA direc-tor of golf and general manager for the Notre Dame Golf Courses in October of 1998. In 2003, John Foster assumed the post of General Manager and Head Golf Professional at the Warren. His duties at the Warren Golf Course include overseeing the operation of both courses, in addition to pro shops, clubhouse and driving range management. He coordinates course use to balance and meet the require-ments of the varsity golf teams, course mem-bers, faculty, sta", students and the public. Foster also maintains the golf facility budgets as well as oversees sta" training.

The design of the Warren Golf Course is remi-niscent of the classic, walkable Irish and American

courses built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, with short distances between the greens and tees. Winding its way through 250 wooded acres, the course incorporates traditional ele-ments of the great golf courses of the early 1900s and – unlike many modern layouts – is built on subtleties rather than special e"ects.

“Players have been impressed with the design,” said Godfrey after the course opened in 2000. “From the dramatic bunkering to the stra-tegic designs of the greens, it is challenging and enjoyable for golfers of all abilities.”

Distinguishing features include: rectangular tee boxes that provide a classic start to each hole; undulating greens of varying shapes con-structed in a push-up style that slopes from back to front; false fronts to greens that allow a golfer to run the ball or #y it to the #ag; strategically-placed bunkers that visually enhance each hole while challenging players to proceed with cau-tion.

The course runs 7,020 yards from the back tees, 6,003 from the middle and 5,302 from the forward tees. It includes 88 bunkers scattered among the 18 holes, and water comes into play on six holes. The course has bent grass fairways and fescue grass rough, playing surfaces found at some of today’s top facilities. Though the course originally did not originally play with a par, it currently plays at par 71.

“We maintain the course in a dry and !rm manner that will be true to the vision of the architects,” said Godfrey. “Many older courses required the player to have both the ability to run the ball along the ground as well as being

The fairway bunkers on the 216-yard 11th hole provide an architectural deception, in that – from the tee – the front bunkers appear to be located on the sides of the green when they, in fact, are 20 yards short of it (bunkers also are located on the sides of the green).A view from the 372-yard 1st hole. A slight dogleg to the left, this hole gives

you an idea of what is to come with the rough look of the bunkers on the left to the well protected, small green.

Above is a look from the picturesque tee at the 16th hole. Overlooking Juday Creek from the elevated tee, the hole ascends up and to the left to a tiny, undulating green that is very well protected by classic Coore- and Crenshaw-designed bunkers.

The view from behind the 414-yard eighth hole looks to a green that is rectangular in shape and slopes dramatically from the rear, with an open front that allows either a bump-and-run shot or one that is #own to the green.

The 15th green is located just a stone’s throw from the clubhouse, yet the building is obscured by a distinctive variety of trees that rim the putting green.

The 197-yard 14th is one of Ben Crenshaw’s favorite holes on the Warren Golf Course. Noted for its old-Scottish style, the hole includes an elevated green and two bunkers to the right of the green that cannot be seen from the tee (unlike those to the left of the green). The hole is even more scenic when framed by full foliage in the surrounding trees.

This is a look from the fairway of the 436-yard sixth hole. The green is guarded by two trees and has a narrow entrance that is protected by bunkers both left and right. The Starter’s Cottage is visible in the right side of the picture.

The eastside back porch of the clubhouse (above) overlooks the "nishing holes and welcomes golfers from the nearby 18th green.

The "nishing hole’s tee shot (above) must carry the new stretch of Juday Creek and bend left to the green. The entire left side of the 18th fairway is bordered by the bed of the former Juday Creek, which has been "lled to form a new stream.

The westside entrance to the clubhouse sits beyond the ninth green, which is noted for its back-to-front slope and is surrounded by deceptive and treacherous bunkering.

The elevated tee from the longest hole on the course, the 480-yard 17th hole, overlooks a pond to the left and the large bunkers in the bank of the hill, leading to a sharp dogleg-left approach to the green.

The ninth hole, as seen from one of the Warren Golf Course's distinctive rectangular tee boxes, is beautifully framed by trees, and the clubhouse is located behind the green.

A picturesque view from the tee box greets golfers at the dogleg-left seventh hole (398 yards), with a solitary tree adding some danger down the left side of the fairway.

The 495-yard 10th hole is another long hole that a big hitter may try to reach in two. Watch out for the creek that runs diagonally across the entire width of the fairway in front of the green.

Four o$ces are located on the east end of the building to accommodate the coaching sta!s. A fully furnished lounge is available to members of both teams for studying or relaxing. Another asset for the teams is a club repair room, which is located in the southern wing of the facility.

The Robert and Marilyn Rolfs Family All-Season Varsity Golf Facility

(opened Sept. 30, 2006)

The Robert and Marilyn Rolfs Family All-Season Varsity Golf Facility, which is located at the Warren Golf Course on the northeast corner of the University of Notre Dame campus, opened on Sept. 30, 2006 with a private dedication ceremony. The $2.1 million, 10,333-square foot facility is used by both the Irish men’s and women’s golf programs.

“We are seeing an immediate impact with recruiting and that will only make our program stronger by bringing in top-level talent. The facility will also allow us to get quality practice time all year round. The putting and chipping areas are extremely nice and very authentic.”

– Notre Dame head coach Susan Holt

A 5,000-square foot indoor short game

area, that includes a

putting green, chip and pitch

area along with a practice

bunker allows the student-athletes the

ability to practice their

short game year-round on

campus.

One of the nicest features of the facility are the six hitting stations that are located within the building that lead out to the Warren Golf Course driving range, allowing players to work on their swings in all weather conditions. Incorporated within the stations is state-of-the-art video equipment to give players and coaches instant feedback on players’ swing techniques.

The 2010-11 academic year will be the 32nd in the history of The BIG EAST Conference as the unique consortium marches on competing at the highest level with integrity and sportsmanship.

The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2010-11 year will mark the conference’s sixth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference.

The BIG EAST Conference’s goals have always been the same. The outstanding performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are evi-dence of the league’s proud tradition of success. The league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The 2009-10 year was no di#erent.

Seven BIG EAST student-athletes were named NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Maya Moore, Connecticut’s women’s basketball standout, won the NCAA Honda-Broderick Award as the nation’s top female student-athlete. She also was named the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American of the Year for women’s basketball. Moore was the !fth BIG EAST women’s student-athlete to win the Honda-Broderick Award.

In the athletic arena, BIG EAST student-athletes again enjoyed success on the national stage. The Connecticut women’s basketball team won its sec-ond straight national championship and its sev-enth overall crown. The Villanova women’s cross country team also won the NCAA title. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team reached the NCAA College Cup for the second straight year. The Syracuse women’s lacrosse squad reached the Final Four.

On the men’s side, West Virginia’s basketball team became the BIG EAST’s 16th team to reach the NCAA Final Four and won the conference’s aca-demic achievement award. The Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team advanced to the NCAA champion-ship game.

Individually, three BIG EAST student-athletes won NCAA titles. Cincinnati’s Josh Schneider won the 50 freestyle in men’s swimming. In track, Louisville’s D’Ana McCarty repeated as the NCAA indoor winner in the weight throw. Louisville’s Matt Hughes won the 3,000 steeplechase. Another Cardinal, Austen Childs, was the national runner-up in men’s tennis singles.

BIG EAST football maintained its national pro!le as a competitively balanced group. Cincinnati won its second straight league championship in 2009 and compiled an undefeated regular season. The Bearcats finished third in the final Bowl Championship Series standings. Six of the league’s eight squads went to bowl games and helped the BIG EAST post a 4-2 bowl record. Rutgers, one of the bowl winners, also was recognized for having the nation’s highest NCAA APR rating, which mea-sures academic success.

The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-athletes who are at the forefront of athletic and academic achievement. In 2009-10, 22 BIG EAST players from 10 schools were chosen to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams. Over 400 student-athletes have earned academic all-America honors.

The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when !ve new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida.

BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 35 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one-fourth of all television households in the U.S.

Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 28 national championships in six di#erent sports and 128 student-athletes have won individ-ual national titles.

In 2003-04, Connecticut became the !rst school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the !rst conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 12 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken seven of the last 11 NCAA titles.

Proactive movement has been a signature strat-egy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into oppor-tunities to become stronger.

In 2009-10, the BIG EAST added men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which increased its total to 24 sport championships.

The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven-school alliance.

While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference re$ects a tradition of broad-based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on aca-demic integrity. Its student-athletes own signi!-

cantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics.

Any successful organization has had the good fortune to have outstanding leadership. The BIG EAST primarily was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, who was the conference’s !rst Commissioner. Michael Tranghese, the league’s !rst full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his !rst year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference.

In 2009-10, the BIG EAST had one signi!cant change. Tranghese stepped down from his posi-tion on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who had served as senior associate commissioner, moved into the Commissioner’s chair and continued to steer the conference on its path of success.

The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those e#orts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student-athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC.

BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, includ-ing the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in atten-dance for the past seven years. Attendance !gures also are signi!cant in soccer and baseball.

More than 575 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned all-America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been well-represented in U.S. or for-eign national and Olympic teams. Several athletes earned gold medals.

The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 student-athletes.

Notre Dame BIG EAST TitlesSince joining the BIG EAST in 1995-96, Notre Dame has won the most conference championships (111) of any school:


History The University of Notre Dame du Lac was founded

in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin. Adjacent to South

Bend, Ind., and nestled next to St. Mary’s and

Saint Joseph’s Lakes, the University was started

with $310 in cash and three log buildings in

disrepair.

Notre Dame would establish many fi rsts for

Catholic institutions of higher learning, includ-

ing the fi rst Catholic law school, the fi rst Catholic

engineering school and the fi rst student residence

with private rooms, Sorin Hall.

Academics The University is organized into four colleges – Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering and the Men-

doza College of Business – the School of Architecture, the Law School, the Graduate School, six major

research institutes, more than 40 centers and special programs and the University library system.

Notre Dame is rated among the nation’s top-25 institutions of higher learning in surveys conducted

by U.S. News and World Report, Princeton Review, Time, Kiplinger’s and Kaplan/Newsweek.

The Mendoza College of Business is ranked #1 among the nation’s top undergraduate business

schools by Bloomberg BusinessWeek.

Notre Dame is among a select group of schools that ranks in the top 30 on the U.S. News & World

Report survey of the nation’s top colleges and in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of

Athletics Directors’ Cup for overall success in athletics.

Students Graduate and undergraduate students at the University come from all 50 states 100 countries

worldwide.

Notre Dame’s graduation rate of 95 percent is exceeded by only Harvard and Princeton.

Notre Dame’s 98 percent retention rate between the freshman and sophomore years is among the

highest in the country, thanks in large part to the University’s unique First Year of Studies Program.

Notre Dame has one of the highest undergraduate residential concentrations of any national univer-

sity, with 80 percent of its students living in 29 residence halls.

The medical school acceptance rate of the University’s preprofessional studies graduates is 80 percent,

almost twice the national average.

Notre Dame ranks fi rst among Catholic universities in the number of doctorates earned by its under-

graduate alumni – a record compiled over some 85 years.

Service Community service is a hallmark of Notre Dame. About 80 percent of Notre Dame students engage in

some form of voluntary community service during their years at the University, and at least 10 percent

devote a year or more after graduation to service in the United States and around the world.

The University’s Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) annually sends 180 recent graduates to teach

in some 100 understaff ed Catholic schools in the southern, southeastern and southwestern United

States and in South Bend. A national model, ACE has received the Higher Education Award from the

Corporation for National Service for leadership in using national service resources through AmeriCorps.

Alumni The University’s network of nearly 270 alumni clubs – including 60 international clubs – is the most

extensive in higher education.

With graduates renowned for their loyalty and generosity, Notre Dame annually ranks among the

top-fi ve in percentage of alumni who

contribute to the University.

In recent years, Notre Dame

alumni have won a Nobel Prize in

medicine, a Pulitzer Prize in jour-

nalism and an Emmy Award for con-

tributions to television technology.
