Rob Postma begins his first season as head coach of the men’s and women’s tennis teams at Ohio Wesleyan University. “I’m very excited to come in (to Ohio Wesleyan),” Postma said. “With the number of young players on both teams, we look forward to continuing the momentum and con-tinuing to develop players so they have the best college experience. The facilities and commitment to athletics are so strong. I see myself being here for a long time.” Postma came to Ohio Wesleyan from Capital University, where he served as men’s tennis coach for 5 seasons and as women’s head coach for 2 seasons. He guided the Crusader men’s team to a share of the Ohio Ath-letic Conference regular-season title, Capital’s first-ever conference championship, and a 14-5 overall re-cord in 2014-15. The Capital women competed in the OAC tournament in both seasons that Postma served as head coach. Postma has been the head ten-nis professional at Brookside Coun-try Club in Columbus for the past

5 years, and teaches at the Players Club in Hilliard. He also serves on the board of directors of the Greater Columbus Tennis Association. Postma is a 2002 graduate of Wittenberg University. During his playing career, he lettered in ten-nis 4 times, and during his senior

ABOUT THE NCAC Ohio Wesleyan University is a charter member of the North Coast Athletic Conference, which began competi-tion in the 1984-85 academic year. Other charter members are Allegheny College, Case Western Reserve University, Denison University, Kenyon College, Oberlin College and the College of Wooster. Wittenberg University joined the NCAC in 1988, Earlham College joined in 1988 and remains an affiliate member in field hockey, Hiram College and Wabash College joined the NCAC in 1998, and DePauw University joined the NCAC in 2010. The NCAC’s 10 members believe academic and ath-letic excellence can co-exist, with no undue overemphasis on athletics. They also believe the principle of balance is important in athletic programs at the Division III level, with no “major” or “minor” sports in comparison with any other, but all equally worthwhile. Equity for both men’s and women’s sports is a founding and standard principle. The NCAC’s 23 championship sports includes 11 for men and 12 for women, the latter figure leading all Division III conferences in the country. When at least 5 Conference institutions sponsor a varsity sport, the NCAC conducts championship play and honors the champion.

During the NCAC’s 31 years of competition, the league has established itself as one of the most competitive in the nation. A total of 61 teams in all 23 sports were represented in national competition last year, with one team winning an NCAA Division III championship to raise the conference’s 31-year total to 65. In addition, 219 student-athletes from around the league earned All-America and/or Academic All-America® honors.

Ohio Wesleyan President Rock Jones and Denison President Dale Knobel display the 2008-09 NCAC All-Sports Trophies. Ohio Wesleyan and Denison finished in a dead heat in the 2008-09 all-sports race, marking the first all-sports tie in conference history.

TARS

HOME OF THE BISHOPS The Battling Bishop men’s and women’s tennis teams play their home matches at the Luttinger Family Tennis Center, located on South Henry Street on the southeastern corner of campus. The Luttinger Family Tennis Center hosted its first match on Sept. 17, 2011, when the men’s team hosted John Carroll. The facility includes seating for nearly 500. The Luttinger Family Tennis Center consists of six new courts on the east side of Henry Street, along with six courts on the west side of Henry Street. The new courts were constructed with a DecoTurf surface as used at the U.S. Open and the last two Olympic Games, and the existing courts were refurbished with the same DecoTurf surface. The Luttinger Family Tennis Center honors the con-tributions of the Luttinger family for its commitment to enriching the student-athlete experience at Ohio Wesleyan, Brandon Luttinger ‘10 was a 2-time All-North Coast Athletic Conference selection in men’s tennis and Todd Luttinger is

a member of Ohio Wesleyan’s Board of Trustees. From 1969 to 2011, the Bishops played their home matches at the OWU Tennis Centre, a complex of 12 courts that played host to the 1978 NCAA Division III men’s championship tournament as well as NCAC cham-pionship tournaments for both men and women. Six of those courts live on as part of the Luttinger Family Ten-nis Center. From 1929 through 1968, the Bishops played their home matches at the Selby courts, located directly south of Selby Field. Those courts were converted into a parking lot after the opening of the OWU Tennis Centre. When inclement weather forces play indoors, match-es are held inside spacious Gordon Field House, nestled in the middle of the Ohio Wesleyan academic campus. The field house’s 200-meter track encircles 4 tennis courts. Gordon Field House was named in recognition of the gift of Richard Gordon ‘62, a standout tennis player for the Battling Bishops.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES The crown jewel of Ohio Wesleyan’s athletic facilities is Selby Stadium, which is the home of the football, field hockey, track & field, and men’s and women’s lacrosse contingents. Selby Stadium received a FieldTurf artificial playing surface for the 2014-15 academic year, lights for the 2010-11 academic year, and a video scoreboard in the spring of 2011, making the venue one of the most impressive among NCAA Division III institutions. Constructed in 1929, Selby also has received a new, fully-enclosed 2-level press box, new bleacher seats, and refurbished locker rooms in recent years. The facil-ity, which seats 9100 and is the fourth-largest college-owned field in NCAA Division III, was the site of the 1988 Division III men’s lacrosse championship game. Selby also houses the George Gauthier Track, an Ameritan FP surface installed for the 2006-07 academic year. The site of 20 of the first 31 North Coast Athletic Conference outdoor track & field championships, Selby is believed to be the oldest facility in the nation constructed to Olympic specifications and remaining in its original configuration. Selby Stadium and the Gauthier Track hosted the NCAA Division III outdoor track & field championships in 2011 and 2014. Across campus, the Jay Martin Soccer Complex hosts soc-cer, primarily under the lights. Widely regarded as one of the Midwest’s finest facilities for the sport, the Jay Martin Soccer Complex’s Roy Rike Field was the site of the NCAA Division III semifinals and championship game for men in 1990 and 1998 and for women in 2001. The centerpiece of Ohio Wesleyan’s athletic facilities is the Branch Rickey Physical Education Center, prized for both its size and versatility. The Richard Gordon Field House floor

was resurfaced in November 2008, and the track was refinished with a state-of-the-art encapsulated surface in December 2008. Gordon Field House hosted the first 9 NCAC indoor track & field championships. Indoor practice for fall and spring sports can be handled there as well: floor space is larger than a football field, accommodating 4 courts for tennis, basketball and volleyball. Branch Rickey Arena, seating 1450, hosts varsity basket-ball and volleyball contests. Also in the Center are 5 handball/racquetball courts, a squash court, offices, locker rooms and lounges. Offices and locker rooms also are part of Edwards Gym-nasium, which is connected by tunnel to the Rickey Center. Remodeling in Edwards has recently included an expanded strength facility. The men’s and women’s swimming teams compete in the Meek Aquatics and Recreation Center, a 10-lane, geothermally heated facility that opened in October 2010. Softball is played at Margaret Sagan Field, which opened during the 2008 season. Baseball is played at Littick Field, site of the 2003 NCAA Division III Mideast Regional. Tennis is played at the Luttinger Family Tennis Center, a complex of 6 outdoor courts that opened in the fall of 2010, and 6 outdoor courts across the street where the 1978 NCAA Divi-sion III championships were held. The cross country teams run home meets at nearby Liberty Park. The men’s golf team plays home tournaments at Oakhav-en Golf Club, north of Delaware, and the women’s golf team plays home tournaments at Mill Creek Golf Club in Ostrander, west of Delaware.
