WINTER 2012-2013WINONA STATE ATHLETICS

IN THE ISSUENEW LOGO UPDATES REVEALED

Winona State Athletics has updated the official department logo as part of an effort to create branding standards, Assistant Athletic Director Travis Whipple announced Monday.

The new logo is not a large change, just an update to the previous version. As well as the official logo - the Warrior head on top with text under it - the Warrior head itself has been updated and cleaned up to provide a cleaner, more modern look.

“It’s really important that our image reflects our commitment to graduating champions,” said Whipple. “We want to look the part.”

“The new graphics branding standards will create a consistent look that ev-eryone will recognize as WSU Athletics, and that’s what I’m most excited about,” said Grant Wall, sports information director.

STUDENT-ATHLETES OF THE ISSUEThese two senior student-athletes have exemplified what it means to be a Warrior. Running back Rayon Simmons set numerous milestones for both the Warrior football team and the conference. He will end his career as the one of the most accomplished Warrior football players of all time. Maggie Finkel is four-year starter for the Warriors, a team that has improved

every year she’s contributed.

TOYS FOR TOTSDRIVE

NOTE FROM THE A.D. Warrior fans, I’d like to start out by thanking each and every one of you for a phenomenal fall athletics season on my first year on the job. It’s been wonderful to meet all of you and get to know this fantastic Winona community. Our athletic teams saw some of the most success ever, with football re-cording nine wins and making the NCAA Tournament, soccer winning the NSIC Tournament and making the NCAA Tournament, volleyball recording a winning in-conference record in the toughest league in Division II and both men’s and women’s cross country having a very successful run as well. As we open a winter season primed for even greater success, I hope you’ll come along for the ride!

Sincerely, Eric Schoh Director of Athletics

Winona State Athletics has teamed up with Toys for Tots for another year.

At WSU home events from November 1 until Christmas, dropboxes will be set up for fans to donate new or gently-used toys. Anyone who donates a toy will receive a $5 voucher good for a future Warrior sporting event.

Last year, Winona State Athletics donated over 300 items for Toys for Tots thanks to the generous donations from the Winona community. Our goal this year is for 500 toys. Help Winona State Athletics in bringing joy to children this Christmas!
