The Muhlenberg women’s lacrosse program had a breakthrough season in the tough Centen-nial Conference last year.

The Mules qualified for the playoffs for the first time ever in a league that included three teams ranked in the top 15 nationally and the defending national champion.

For the third year in a row, the Mules were un-defeated against non-league opposition.

The numbers show the tremendous progress of the program, which went without a winning season from 1988-2002:

The Muhlenberg women’s lacrosse team annually participates in a

charitable run in the fall. In 2008, the Mules joined the men’s team in Ashly’s 5K Race for Freedom, an event organized in honor of a local woman who was killed in Iraq. Proceeds went to a veterans support group and a scholarship fund. The team has also taken the line for the Step Out against Domestic Violence 5k run to benefit Turning Point, a safe haven in the Lehigh Valley where victims of abuse can go for support services and shelter.

A three-level, 40,000-square-foot addition to the Life Sports Center opened in August 2004, further improving Muhlenberg College’s athletic facilities. The addition, built directly west of the John Dietrich Field House, includes a large weight facility, an expanded cardio-fitness area, a snack bar, new facilities for health service and counseling, training rooms, locker rooms and coaches’ offices. The structure overlooks Scotty Wood Stadium and Varsity Field and is joined to the Life Sports Center by a large indoor corridor on the main level. A new main entrance faces the campus. The project also entailed renovations in the Field House, including installa-tion of a new floor and track, new netting, new lighting and painting.

Scotty Wood Stadium/Frank Marino Field

Constructed 1998

Muhlenberg College constructed a state-of-the-art on-campus game and practice facility during the summer of 1998. The multipurpose stadium in-cludes an artificial turf playing field with e-layer pad, an eight-lane all-weather track, bleacher seating for 3,000 and lighting. The facility was the first of its kind in the Lehigh Valley. Scotty Wood Stadium, also home to the Mule field hockey, football and track teams, received a facelift in the summer of 2008 when the original Astro-Turf 12® surface was replaced with AstroTurf GameDay Grass™ 3D. AstroTurf GameDay Grass™ is an infill turf system tufted into a super-stable, multi-ply primary backing system that is covered with a heavy urethane, envi-ronmentally friendly BioCel™ coating for uniformity, consistency and precise performance across the entire field. AstroTurf GameDay Grass™ 3D is a natural-looking synthetic surface that’s more durable than 100% polyethylene systems. Tweed tufting of AstroTurf GameDay Grass™ 3D more accurately mimics the true coloration of natural grass. A double nylon Root Zone acts as a traction layer, providing fiber sup-port and reducing the compaction associated with other infill products. Scotty Wood Stadium has been very friendly to the Muhlenberg women’s lacrosse team, which is 15-7 at home the last three years. The facility is named for two prominent figures in the school’s athletic history. The stadium honors the late Milton W. “Scotty” Wood for his many years of support and service to the College and its scholar athletes. He began Wood Dining Services, now prominent in the food service industry, in 1947 by feed-ing Muhlenberg basketball players. The Mules’ annual tipoff basketball tourna-ment is also named in his honor. The field honors Frank Marino, one of the most beloved coaches in school

history. He led the foot-ball team to a 54-40-6 record from 1970 to 1980 and was 1976 Middle At-lantic Conference coach of the year. Marino served the athletic department in numerous other capacities – including head women’s lacrosse coach in 1986 – during his 34-year association with the Col-lege, earning the respect, loyalty and admiration of hundreds of young men and women.

“Muhlenberg holds its stu-dents to rigorous academic standards, and they know it. From its solid Lu-theran roots to its current standing as a top premed school, Muhlenberg shows students it really does care. ‘Academic excellence is, by far, the top priority,’ says a junior, ‘but the people are warm, friendly, compas-sionate, and truly care about making Muhlenberg the best possible place for everyone.’”

Fiske Guide to Colleges2004 Edition

“The ‘beautiful and safe’ Muhlenberg campus provides a serene setting to counteract students’ hectic academic schedules. ‘The front lawn is great,’ notes one student. ‘It always gets crowded with kids just hanging out in the spring or fall or playing in the snow in the winter.’”

Peyton R. Helm

Peyton Randolph Helm took office as president of Muhlenberg College July 1, 2003. He holds the faculty rank of professor of history. Immediately prior to

joining the Muhlenberg community, Helm served as vice president for college relations and professor of classical studies at Colby Col-lege in Waterville, Maine. Helm began his career in academic admin-istration at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was named coordinator of College House Programs in 1981. He served as associ-ate director of development and then director of development for Penn’s School of Arts and Sciences. From 1981-1988 he was also an adjunct assistant professor of ancient history and urban studies at Penn. In 1988, Helm was named vice president for development and alumni relations at Colby, where he was promoted to vice presi-dent for college relations in 2001. The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) has awarded Helm its Steuben Apple, given to advancement profes-sionals who have been rated as a top speaker at 10 or more national conferences. Helm has delivered addresses and conducted semi-nars on ethics, stewardship, writing, capital campaigns, market research and volunteer management at more than 30 conferences across the country and internationally.

Vice.President.for.Student.Affairs/Dean.of.Students

Karen Green began her duties as vice president for student af-fairs/dean of students at Muhlen-berg College on June 15, 2006, following more than four years as dean of students at Wells College in Aurora, N.Y.

At Muhlenberg, Green oversees more than 70 full-time employees and several departments, including athletics and recreation. “Muhlenberg is committed to our scholar athletes and the athletic programs are an integral part of a liberal arts education,” said Green. “The lessons learned from participation in our programs will sustain our students throughout their lives. The opportunity to be involved in intramural and recre-ational programs provides balance from the rigors of a challenging academic experience. Students learn negotiation skills, teamwork, time management and to be effective leaders. “Our coaches are committed to excellence and are partners with students notwithstanding their skill level. My predecessor as dean of students, Rudy Ehrenberg, said it best, ‘We must provide our stu-dents with outstanding coaches, superb facilities and a commitment to excellent programs. These are the ingredients for a quality program and Muhlenberg College is committed to such excellence.’ I strongly support these words and will be fully committed to the College’s athletic programs.” Green received her baccalaureate degree from Agnes Scott College in Atlanta in 1986, where the Karen Green Human Relations Award was created in her honor. She went on to earn her master’s of divin-ity from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University in 1997. Green began her administrative career as a res-ident director at Spelman College, later served in the admissions office at Agnes Scott and subsequently became director of orientation, residence life and student activities at her alma mater before leaving Atlanta to accept the position of director of multi-cultural affairs at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y. She held additional leadership positions in student life at Agnes Scott, Emory and Hamilton before assuming the position of dean of students at Wells in September 2001.

Director.of.Athletics

Sam Beidleman

Following a national search, Muhlenberg College named Sam Beidleman director of athletics in July 2003. He had been serving as interim director of athletics since April 1, 2003. As director of athletics,

Beidleman supervises Muhlenberg’s 22-sport varsity intercollegiate program, as well as the intramural and recreation programs. “Muhlenberg College is proud of its long-stand-ing tradition of academic and athletic excellence,” said Beidleman. “While we strive to win on the field or court, we measure our success in many other ways including the development of character, leadership, scholarship and ethical behavior.” Beidleman returned to Muhlenberg after a prior 35-year association with the College, during which he held responsibilities in every area of athletics programming – as a student, coach, faculty member and administrator. He was a varsity letterwinner in football and track and spent 13 seasons as an assistant football coach following his graduation in 1963. It was as a baseball coach that Beidleman truly made his mark, coaching the Mules from 1970 to 1992 and winning 255 games, setting a school record for a coach in one sport. His teams captured five Middle Atlantic Conference Southwest League titles and three Southern Division championships. Beidleman, who held the academic rank of as-sociate professor of physical education from 1965 to 1992, also served as men’s intramural director and director of recreation. After retiring from coach-ing, he was full-time athletic business and facilities manager until August 2000. A 2006 inductee into the Muhlenberg Athletic Hall of Fame, Beidleman earned his master’s degree in counseling and guidance from Kutztown Univer-sity in 1970.

09centennial conference

In its 16th year of all-sports competition, the Centennial Conference has taken its place among the nation’s elite small college conferences. On June 4, 1981, Keith Spalding, then-president of Franklin & Mar-shall College, made the announcement that “eight private colleges found it timely and appropriate to form a round-robin schedule among institu-tions with similar attitudes and practices in intercollegiate football.” With

that statement, the Centennial Conference was born.

From 1983-92, the eight private colleges — Dickinson College, Franklin & Marshall College, Get-tysburg College, Johns Hopkins University, Muhlenberg College, Swarthmore College, Ursinus College

and Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College) — participated in a

football-only conference. Because of the success in operating the Centennial Football

Conference, the league expanded to an all-sports conference in 1992, with Bryn Mawr College, Haverford College and Washington College joining as charter members. A purpose and mission statement adopted by the presidents stated, “Recognizing that our fundamental purpose is the academic mission of institutions, we agree to establish an all-sports conference in the spirit of rationalizing our competition by controlling travel, schedule and costs. The Conference will be controlled by the presidents of the member insti-tutions.” The Centennial Conference encourages athletic competition among national liberal arts colleges and universities that share similar academic aspirations and a commitment to the importance of the total educational ex-perience of students engaged in sports. Intercollegiate athletics programs are an integral part of the life of the mem-ber institutions and flow from their educational objectives. Each institution provides a comprehensive, broad-based athletics program. All varsity sports are treated equitably, and every sport is important. The CC crowns champions in 24 sports and continues to sponsor intercollegiate programs of national prominence for women and men. On the average, Centennial members boast of 19 varsity teams, which is well above the national norm. The CC has established itself as one of the premiere conferences for women’s lacrosse in Division III. The CC has a remarkable 294-132 (.690) record in non-conference games the past six years, including a 14-6 mark against ranked non-league opponents in 2007. The CC champion earns an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament each year, and the conference has had a team reach the quarterfinals of the tournament in 13 of the last 15 seasons. The last three years, a CC team has made it to the Division III championship game, with Franklin & Marshall winning the national title in 2007. That year, CC teams made up half the final four, with Gettysburg joining the Diplomats.

** The Centennial had six of its 10 members ranked in the top third of Division III. Only one other conference placed six teams in the top 40.

Muhlenberg College sponsors a comprehensive 22-sport intercollegiate ath-letics program. The Mules compete in the Centennial Conference in all sports and are members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Divi-sion III and Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC). Muhlenberg’s sports program is designed to offer quality competitive experi-ences for the serious athlete, with opportunities for outstanding teams and individuals to advance to national Division III championships. However, given the breadth of the program, opportunities also exist for the unrecruited athlete to participate in varsity sports. Muhlenberg has excellent on-campus athletic facili-ties. Opened in 1982, the Life Sports Center is a building designed for athlet-ics, intramurals and “sports for life” as primary uses. The original solar-heated building, a series of three additions to the Memorial Hall gymnasium, includes the spacious John Deitrich Field House, featuring basketball and tennis courts and a 160-meter running track; the 25-meter Alumni Pool; and the Levering

Tyson wing, containing racquetball and squash courts and rooms for sports medicine, weight training, wrestling, dance, instruction and equipment distribu-tion. Memorial Hall, the original facility built in 1954, seats 3,529 and is an excel-lent facility for viewing indoor sports. The Life Sports Center recently un-derwent a significant renovation that further improved the Mules’ facilities. The three-level, 40,000-square foot addition was built directly west of the Deitrich Field House and opened in the fall of 2004. The new facil-ity includes additional locker rooms and office

space, new recreation and fitness areas and a new health and counseling center. Outdoors, the Mules have a grass field used by the men’s and women’s soccer teams, constructed in 1997, and a stadium for use by lacrosse, football and field hockey surrounded by an eight-lane, all-weather track, constructed in 1998 and resurfaced with AstroTurf GameDay Grass™ 3D in 2008.

During the 2007-08 school year, Muhlenberg won the Centennial Conference championship in football and women’s basketball, and Mule teams or individuals earned bids to the NCAA Division III Championships in men’s soccer and men’s and women’s cross country.
