THE GAME OF
FIELD HOCKEY
THE PATRIARCH OF ALL "STICK AND BALL" GAMES
THE BASICS
• Two halves, 35 minutes each
• 11 players per side, one can be a goalkeeper
• The field is 100 yds. long and 60 yds wide, divided into two halves by
a center line. A striking or shooting circle is marked 16 yds. out
from each goal post.
• The goal cage measures seven feet high, and is 12 feet wide.
Boards are attached to the back and sides of the cages,
18 inches high.
• Two umpires on the field; an additional umpire
may sit at the scorer’s table during tournament play.
• A goal is scored when an attacker strikes
the ball into the goal within the shooting circle.
• Goalkeepers wear protective ice
hockey style equipment to block the ball with their
stick, body, hands, and feet. They must be inside the
shooting circle to kick-clear or body save shots.
• A team may elect to play without a goalkeeper to field
a team of 11 players.
THE BALL
THE EQUIPMENT
The ball is made of hard plastic, with a
circumference of approximately 8-3/4 inches,
and weighing between 5-1/2 and 5-3/4 oz.
THE STICK
The stick has a flat face on the left-hand side. The stick is made of wood, or a composite of carbon, aramid and fiber glass and must have no metal fittings, sharp edges, or
splinters. It must be narrow enough to pass through a ring with an interior diameter of
2 inches. Maximum weight: 23 oz.

Nine-Time NCAA Champions * 1982 * 1983 * 1984 * 1988 * 1990 * 1991 * 1992 * 1998 * 2000
THE RULES OF THE GAME
BASIC RULES
• Ball must be passed or “dribbled” down the field with
the flat side of the stick.
• Players may not stand still to shield the ball using their
body.
• A goal can only be counted if shot from inside the
shooting circle.
FOULS
A player must not:
• trip an opponent;
• shove or charge an opponent while trying to play the ball;
• hit the ball with the rounded side of the stick;
• obstruct an opponent with the body or the stick;
• interfere in the game without a stick;
• undercut or play the ball in a potentially dangerous way;
• stop the ball in the air or on the ground with any part
of the body;
• use the foot or leg to support the stick in order to resist
an opponent;
• pick up, kick, throw, carry, or propel the ball except
with the stick;
• hit, hook, hold, or interfere with an opponent’s stick.
FREE HITS
A free hit is awarded to the non-offending side for
infringements, and are usually taken at the area where
the foul occurred.
The ball must be stationary and be hit along the
ground with a legitimate stroke a minimum distance
of one yard. Opposing players must be at least 5 yards
away. The hitter may not replay the ball until another
player has touched it.
PENALTY CORNERS
Penalty corners are awarded against defenders for
deliberately playing the ball over the back line; committing a foul within the striking circle; committing a
deliberate foul within the 25 yd. line.
A penalty corner is a free hit awarded to an attacking
player from a point on the back line, at least 10 yards
away from the goal. All remaining attackers must be
outside the striking circle before the hit is taken. A
maximum of five defenders may be behind the goal
line, while the remaining defenders must be beyond
the center line.
Typically, the attacking player taking the free hit
passes the ball toward her teammates positioned outside the striking circle. A player will stop the ball with
her stick, while another player will move in and hit the
ball toward the goal.
16-YARD HITS/DEFENSE HITS
When the attacking team plays the ball over the
backline, the defense receives a 16-yard hit. The free
hit is taken 16 yds. from the backline where the ball
crossed.
THE PUSH-IN / HIT-IN
A push-in or hit-in is awarded to the opposition if a
player hits the ball wholly over the sideline. A push-in
or hit-in is played along the ground with the stick.
Opposing players and their sticks must be at least 5
yds. away (beyond the 5 yd. lines, which are marked
on the endlines, the center line, and the 25 yd. lines).
The person putting the ball into play may not touch it
again until another player has touched it first.
Any violation by the player putting the ball into play
is penalized by a free hit to the opposition.
PENALTY STROKES
A penalty stroke is a one-on-one shot where the
offensive player positions seven yards in front of the
goal vs. goalkeeper on the goal line, with all other
players beyond the 25 yd. line. A penalty stroke is
awarded for any intentional breach by the defenders in the circle, or an unintentional breach by the
defenders which prevents a sure goal. The attacking
player is permitted one or more steps while shooting,
and the shot must be executed without a backswing
of the stick. The goalkeeper may not move from the
goal line until the stroker moves the ball.
CARD REPRIMANDS
Umpires carry three different colored cards to warn
players of bad behavior or dangerous play:
Green - caution; Yellow - Five minute or more suspension; Red - Ejection. Yellow and red card penalties
leave teams at a number disadvantage for the time
specified.
SUBSTITUTIONS
Player substitution is very similar to ice hockey, as
the number is unlimited and players being replaced
have unlimited reentry. The player being substituted
for must run completely off the side of the field
near the center before the substitute may enter the
field. Only two subs may enter at a given time. No
substitutions are permitted during penalty corners
or strokes.
THE HISTORY OF FIELD HOCKEY
F
ield hockey is one of the few early sports
where women were allowed to engage in
strenuous activity and actually compete
fer-vently in a team athletic situation. Although
field hockey began as an activity for primitive man,
modern woman has definitely made her mark on
the sport.
The origins of field hockey go back further than
the ancient Greeks, but there is no conclusive
evidence exactly how and where the game began.
The earliest tangible record of field hockey (then
known only as hockey) is a drawing done in 2050
B.C. on a tomb at Beni-Hasan in the Nile Valley in
Egypt.
On the wall of one tomb, six drawings of athletic
activities were sketched. One illustration depicted
two men holding sticks with curved ends. Between
the sticks is a round object, possibly a hoop or a
ball. Because of this evidence, historians believe
field hockey is the patriarch of all sports played
with such implements.
From pre-Christian times to Roman prominence
and through the Middle Ages, the game of hockey
- or a similar activity - was enjoyed by people
in many lands. Rules have differed and playing
surfaces have changed, but the concept of a two
team stick-and-ball game remains the same.
It was not until the first half of the 19th
century, however, that field hockey became
firmly established. The first club was Blackheath,
headquartered in southeast London prior to 1861.
The club played on a large piece of open ground
with crudely designed sticks. The ball was a solid
cube of black rubber. There were little offensive or
defensive tactics to the game.
Field hockey’s role as a liberator also took hold
at this time. For some time in the second half of
the 19th century, it was considered the only proper
team sport for women. A women’s club was started
in Surrey, England in 1887 and the first national
association - the Irish Ladies Hockey Union
- emerged in Dublin seven years later.
By the end of the 19th century, women’s hockey
had spread to New Zealand, South Africa, The
Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and elsewhere.
In 1927, the International Federation of Women’s
Hockey Associations (IFWHA) was formed.
The women played according to the men’s
rules, but were obstructed by their clothing. Their
cumbersome skirts hung nearly to the ground
to cover every inch of their legs. The extremely
heavy petticoats, corsets, long sleeves and high,
stiff collars impeded movement. Despite such
handicaps, the women persisted, and international
matches were soon underway.
At the onset of the 20th century, the game was
introduced to women in the United States by
Constance M.K. Applebee. The British physical
education teacher presented a hockey exhibition at
Harvard University in the summer of 1901. During
the two years, she taught the game to women at
such prestigious institutions as Smith, Wellesley,
and Mt. Holyoke, as well as other colleges in the
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. This part of
the country remains a hotbed of field hockey.
At a time in the United States when “socially
accepted” croquet and lawn tennis were the most
arduous activities young women were allowed
to practice outdoors, field hockey created quite
a stir. The women were no longer restricted
and took on the athleticism and intensity of the
game as a great challenge. In fact, the first U.S.
women’s team to travel abroad for the purposes
of a single athletic competition sailed to England
in 1920 to play in a hockey tournament. Shortly
after, in 1922, the U.S. Field Hockey Association,
the National Governing Body for field hockey in
the United States, was established.
The long-standing tradition of the game
serves as a gentle reminder of the hard work and
dedication put forth by thousands of men and
women who strive to perpetuate the sport for
future generations.

Beth Anders
For Old Dominion head coach Beth Anders, winning has been a tradition for over a quarter
of a century.
Anders has cemented her status as one of the greatest in field hockey in all facets of the game.
As player, she has participated at every level possible, including World Cup and Olympic events
and as a coach, her coaching achievements are nothing short of impressive, including nine national
collegiate titles, a bronze medal at the Pan American World Cup Games, and the distinction of being
the winningest Division I field hockey coach in the country. Considered by many to be a pioneer
of her sport, her resume is dotted with a long list of incredible achievements and monumental
firsts.
At Old Dominion, Anders has mentored the field hockey team for over 25 years and has led her
teams to perennial appearances in the NCAA tournament. Under her tutelage, the Lady Monarchs
have achieved more honors than any other field hockey program in NCAA history. Among the
most prestigious, Anders and her teams have brought the NCAA Championship trophy back to
Norfolk an unprecedented nine times.
In addition, the Lady Monarchs have won the CAA crown 13 of 17 times since joining the league
in 1991 and remain the only team to make all 27 NCAA Tournaments dating back to 1981.
In national coaching records, Anders has coached more games than any other active Division
I coach, having been on the sidelines of 591
games over her 25-year career. She became the
first Division I coach to reach the 400-career
victory mark, a milestone only reached by
seven other coaches in the sport, and is moving
closer and closer to becoming the first Division
I coach to reach the 500 victory milestone with
a 492-92-7 overall career record. Anders posts
an amazing .838 winning percentage and her
492 overall wins are the most of any Division
I coach in history.
Anders’ coaching experience has not
been limited to the Old Dominion sidelines.
Internationally, Anders guided the 1991
U.S. National Team to the bronze medal
and masterminded the qualifying campaign
for the 1994 World Cup. In the summer of
2003, Anders was asked to take over the U.S.
National Team and prepare them for the Pan
American games in the Dominican Republic,
where the team finished second.

The love affair between Anders and field hockey, however, goes well beyond her immediate reign in the coaching ranks. In 1980, Anders
made the first of two Olympic field hockey teams as co-captain, but was forced - because of the boycott in Moscow - to wait four more years to
realize her dream of winning a medal. In 1984 though, nothing stood in the way of Anders and her teammates as they cashed in on a bronze medal at the Los Angeles games.
Anders, whose strong penalty corner was consistently clocked in the 90 m.p.h. range, nearly single handedly lifted the US team to victory, scoring
eight of her team’s nine goals in its five-game performance for an Olympic record that still stands today.
Throughout her international playing career, Anders played in over
100 international matches, was a participant in every World Cup from 197184, was on the National team from 1969-1980, and was the high scorer for
the United States every year she was on the team. Anders participated in
the first World Cup field hockey event to have both men’s and women’s
competition at the same venue. She was one of just 24 field hockey coaches
from around the world to be in attendance for a clinic during the 1998 World
Cup in Holland.
After three NCAA titles as coach of Old Dominion and a bronze medal as a
player and two-time captain with the Olympic team, Anders was named Olympic
Athlete of the Year and Virginia Coach of the Year in 1984. Bringing the two realms of
the sport together, Anders was recognized for her many contributions with an induction
into the United States Field Hockey Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
Anders’ love for her sport is infectious, as many former Old Dominion student-athletes have
grown into respectable players and coaches in and around the world’s field hockey family. A total of
15 former Old Dominion players coached by Anders have participated in the last four Olympics, which
include a bronze medalist in NCAA all-time leading scorer Marina DiGiacomo for Argentina and a silver
medalist for Maacha van der Vaart of the Netherlands at the Olympics in Athens, Greece in the summer
of 2004. The list grew over the summer of 2008 as four Lady Monarchs – Tiffany Snow, Angie Loy, Dana
Sensenig, and Caroline Nichols – were named to the U.S. Olympic Team for the 2008 Beijing Games.
Anders challenges her teams to not only excel on the field, but in the classroom as well. Since 1989,
the Lady Monarch teams have had a G.P.A. of 3.0 or better. Last season, her team was named a 2007 ZAG/
NFHCA Division I National Academic Team Award winner after compiling a 3.68 cumulative grade
point average as a squad, the highest GPA among all Division I field hockey programs. Additionally,
18 members of the Lady Monarch field hockey team were named to the 2007 ZAG/NFHCA Division
I National Academic Squad, the most of any Division I field hockey program. Certainly the epitome
of Anders’ student-athletes is Samantha Salvia, the school’s first ever Rhodes Scholar who graduated
in 1996 with a 4.0 GPA in environmental and civil engineering.
The key to Anders success on and off the field hockey field seems to be her love for and dedication
to the game. Her development of the Futures Program during her national coaching stint in 1993 and
her active mentoring of the field hockey youth are just two examples of her will to succeed better than
anyone in her vocation.
A fine all-around athlete herself, Anders was a four-time All-College field hockey and lacrosse
player before graduating from Ursinus College with a B.S. degree in health and physical education.
The Norristown, Pennsylvania Native was also selected to the national collegiate basketball team and
won the intercollegiate squash championship in 1970.
Anders is the daughter of Stanley and the late Alice Anders. She has one brother and enjoys fitness,
golf, tennis, reading, and creative teaching tools. She also has authored three books, Field Hockey:
Steps to Success originally published in 1999 with 2nd edition released last month, and Lessons in
Field Hockey released in 1996.
An avid golfer, Anders resides in Norfolk.

Assistant Coaches
SUE MYERS
GWEN ALEXANDER
Sue Myers enters her 21st year as a member of the
Lady Monarch coaching staff. Among Myers’ duties include
recruiting, statistical records, video documentation and camp
organization.
As an assistant, Myers has been on the sidelines for
six of Old Dominion’s national titles as well as “The Streak,” a
string of 66 consecutive wins spanning from 1990-93. Overall,
Myers has helped the Lady Monarchs to a 399-89-5 mark.
Myers’ coaching career began in 1973 when she
became Carlisle Senior High School’s head coach of basketball,
field hockey, and softball. She was also the coach of the state
champion 4 X 100 relay team of the track and field squad. She
held that post at the Pennsylvania school for 12 years, before becoming a graduate assistant
coach at Old Dominion in 1987. During the 1988 season, Myers became a full-time assistant
in the post she currently holds today. Alongside Anders, Myers also helped coach the United
States National field hockey team during the 1990-93 seasons.
Myers served as Old Dominion head coach in 2003 as Lady Monarch head coach Beth
Anders served as the head coach of the U.S. National Team. Myers guided the 2003 Lady
Monarchs to a 14-10 overall record as Old Dominion took home its eighth straight and 13th
overall Colonial Athletic Association title and returned to the NCAA Tournament for its 23rd
consecutive appearance.
A seven-time United States National Team member, Myers was a superior field hockey
player during her athletic career. She captained the Lady Rockets of Slippery Rock during
her junior and senior campaigns and was her team’s leading scorer for three seasons.
Myers was an active member of the national field hockey scene. She was on the United
States National Team from 1972-79 and played on the very first United States World Cup
team of 1975.
After her college career, Myers was an active player in club field hockey. A five-time
national club team champion, Myers was a player and co-founder of the Red Rose Field
Hockey Club based in southeastern Pennsylvania from 1975-85, where she played alongside
Anders on the club circuit.
A four-sport athlete in college, Myers also participated in basketball, softball, and track
and field. She was an MVP selection of her basketball team and played with Rutgers head
women’s basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer. A veteran ASA fast-pitch softball class AAA
player, Myers was a four-time Eastern United States League batting champion while playing
for teams based out of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
She has co-authored several field hockey publications with Anders, including “Steps to
Success”, first and second editions.
Gwen Alexander is in her third season with
the Old Dominion coaching staff. Alexander will work
primarily with the Lady Monarch goalkeepers.
Alexander came to Old Dominion after seven
seasons as the University of Pennsylvania’s goalkeeper
coach. During her time with the Quakers, she helped
her teams capture the Ivy League Championship in
2004, win the 2003 Philly Six Championship, and make
an appearance at the 2003 ECAC Tournament.
Prior to joining the Penn program, Alexander
spent eight years as the head coach at the Penn Charter
School in Philadelphia, where she also taught health
and physical education. She has also coached the USA Futures squad since 1993.
Before taking over the helm at Penn Charter, Alexander was the U.S. National
Team goalkeeper coach from 1989-1993, with the 1993 squad qualifying for the World
Cup. Alexander also served as head field hockey coach and assistant lacrosse coach at
Temple University from 1979-1988, compiling a 115-51-15 record with the field hockey
team and leading the Owls to the 1984 national semifinal.
A member of the U.S. National Field Hockey Team from 1972-1984, Alexander
participated on the 1980 and 1984 U.S. Olympic teams, earning a bronze medal at the
1984 Los Angeles Summer Games along with current Old Dominion head coach Beth
Anders and was a member of three World Cup teams.
Alexander received her bachelor’s degree from West Chester University in
1973.
ASSISTANT COACH
ASSISTANT COACH
ROBIN SMITH COOKE
VOLUNTEER ASSISTANT COACH
Robin Smith Cooke returns to the Old Dominion coaching staff for her ninth season as an assistant, helping the Lady Monarchs on a
volunteer basis during the fall. Cooke, a standout player under Anders, was a main cog in the Old Dominion dynasty of the early 1990s.
The All-NCAA Tournament team member and CAA Player of the Year played on three of Old Dominion’s eight national championship
teams (1990-1992) and was also on the team that finished runner up in 1989.
During her playing career, Cooke’s squads posted an impressive 98-4-1 record, scoring 539 goals while allowing just 39. A two-time
captain and team MVP, Smith was an integral player in what became known in Old Dominion field hockey history as “The Streak,” a string
of 66 wins and 48 shutouts spanning the 1990-93 seasons and producing three national championships.
Graduating in 1992, Cooke made her own mark in the record books as well. During her career, she scored 66 goals and collected 18
assists for 150 career points, placing her ninth in the record books for goals. A four-year letter winner and starter, Smith was honored as an
All-CAA player who won the CAA Player of the Year award in 1991. Smith also received a nomination for the prestigious Honda Broderick
Award in 1991 and was named Old Dominion’s Female Athlete of the Year in 1992.
Cooke’s individual honors include two-time CFHCA All-American (1991, 1992), CAA Player of the Year (1991), CAA Tournament MVP (1992), All-CAA first
team (1991, 1992), All-South Region first team (1990, 1991, 1992), and NCAA All-Tournament team (1990, 1991, 1992). She is also one of 16 former Anders’ schooled
student-athletes to be named to the ODU Hall Fame being inducted in 2001. In conjunction with the quarter century of the NCAA Field Hockey Tournament in 2005,
Cooke was also named to the prestigious 25th Anniversary Team.
Cooke was a member of the United States National field hockey team from 1990 to 1992 and played on the 12th-ranked 1990 World Cup team and the 1991 bronze
medal team at the Pan American Games. She was inducted into the ODU Sports Hall of Fame in 2001.
Cooke works at Towne Bank in Portsmouth, where she currently resides.

2008 SEASON PREVIEW
New Team, New Field, New Year, Same Lady Monarch Tradition
I
f you ask any member of the Old Dominion field hockey team what their goal is, it
will most certainly be “to win a championship.” And as any Beth Anders tutored
player will tell you, winning a championship is the result of a process that goes on
throughout the season.
The 2008 version of the Lady Monarch field hockey team will begin their process of
attempting to bring home an unprecedented 10th national title welcoming back 13
letterwinners and seven starters along with bringing eight newcomers into the fold.
Five of the Lady Monarchs’ top six scorers as well as vital members of the defense return
from a team that posted a 12-10 overall mark and ranked 10th in the final STX/National
Field Hockey Coaches (NFHCA) Poll. Old Dominion will look to not only improve upon
that mark, but return the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) title back to Norfolk after
serving as runner-ups the last two seasons and drive deeper into the NCAA Tournament
where the Lady Monarchs have been a mainstay for the last 27 seasons.
The Lady Monarch tradition will not only have a new look on the field, but on the turf as
well. Old Dominion moves from historic Foreman Field to the brand new state-of-the-art
Powhatan Sports Complex, complete with 1,500 permanent seats, the latest technology,
brand new “AstroTurf 12”, 6,000 square feet for strength training, and 3,000 square feet
of athletic training space, as well as spacious offices for the coaching staff to assist with
player development and game strategy. While the home field has changed, Beth Anders
and her team are sure to make it one of the most feared pitches in collegiate field hockey,
upholding the long standing Old Dominion tradition of excellence.
Forwards:
What was once one of the positions that was the least experienced and youthful
will now be one of the most tested and experience. The forwards return not
only the top scorer from a year ago, but improved skill and depth for the
upcoming season.
Rising junior Katie Ueberroth will lead the charge for the Lady
Monarchs on the frontline. Ueberrroth, who moved into the starting
ranks last season, ended her 2007 campaign as the Lady Monarchs’
leading scorer, accumulating nine goals, five assists, and 23 points.
An All-CAA selection, she was among the league leaders in scoring
ranking seventh in the CAA in points per game (1.10) and tied for
eighth in the conference in goals per game (0.43).
CAA Rookie of the Year Loran Hatch will also figure in to bolstering the offense. Hatch,
the seventh Lady Monarch to earn the league’s rookie award, was ODU’s second leading
scorer and registered a team-leading three game-winning goals in 2007. Collecting eight
goals, two assists, and 18 points, she was tied for sixth in the CAA in goals per game (0.44)
and tied for fourth in game-winning goals.
Veteran Anna Kern will also figure into the depth of the Lady
Monarchs up front. She appeared in 14 games
with four starting nods. Her experience
over the last two seasons will be a
valuable asset come this fall.
Amanda Bieber and Samantha
Richardson also look to parlay a
strong rookie campaigns into
a stellar sophomore seasons.
A member of the CAA AllRookie team, Bieber, played
in 18 contests including five
starts that saw her garner more
time on the pitch as the season
progressed. Richardson was
another rookie last season who
gained ample time on the field.
Richardson also appeared in 18
contests and ended the year with
five points under her belt. She will
be another Lady Monarch to watch her
numbers grow with added experience.
Midfield:
The middle of the field will also benefit
from last year’s youth, as they enter
the 2008 season better prepared for the
challenges that await.
Junior Kathleen Shea closely followed
Ueberroth on the stat sheet with 20 points
stemming from nine goals and two assists.
Shea, who also successfully transitioned to
the starting line-up as a sophomore, managed
to find the back of the net against nine different
opponents last year, totaling three game-winners.
She also tied for eighth in the CAA in points per
contest (0.43).
Fellow classmate Hanna Warren is another Lady
Monarch who also flourished as a regular member of the
starting 11. Warren captured eight points and two assists in
her second season with the Blue and Silver and should be invaluable on transisition.
Katelyn Smither (left) is among the
veterans of the 2008 Old Dominion
Field Hockey team and will anchor
the defense. Katie Ueberroth
(below), ODU’s leading scorer
from a year ago, is among the
underclassmen ready to take the
Lady Monarchs to new levels.
Alyschia Conn also saw a significant amount
of time last year after redshirting the previous
season. Conn, who appeared in 21 contests
including seven starts, should watch her numbers
increase with more playing time in 2008.
Jestine Angelini, Kathryn Kirk, Julia Simo, and
Rachel Stream are among the rookies that could
garner playing time and contribute to the storied
ODU program.
Defense:
Senior Katelyn Smither, the most veteran of the Old
Dominion line-up, will anchor the Lady Monarch backfield
in 2008. Smither, an All-CAA pick, helped her squad to eight
shutouts last season and 12 the year before. Not only strong on
the defense, Smither ranked as one of the top Lady Monarchs on
the stat sheet with her contributions on the penalty corner unit.
Serving as the primary striker, she captured five goals along with
three assists.
Joining Smither in the backfield will be sophomores Stephanie Kratzer and
Paige Clutter along with newcomer Charmain Schrader. Kratzer served as a reserve last
season, appearing in 17 games. With a year of experience under her belt, her skills, as well
as her playing time, should grow. Clutter should also see an increase in time on the turf
with a year under her belt of the Anders’ system.
Goalkeeper:
Kelly Driscoll returns for her third season as the Lady Monarchs’ netminder, a position she
has played for nearly every minute over the last two years. Driscoll, a two-time First Team
All-CAA selection, has a knack for keeping ODU opponents at bay as made evident from
her 20 career shutouts. She registered numerous saves against some of the top teams in
the country, including a career-high 13 in both meetings with eventual national champion
North Carolina. Last season, Driscoll led the CAA in saves (131), saves per game (6.24), and
shutouts (8), while coming in second in save percentage (.777) and third in goals against
average (1.65).
Louise Gericke, a transfer from Central Michigan, could also be called upon for time in the
cage. A Second Team All-MAC and MAC All-Tournament Team member, Gericke posted a
2.12 goals against average and .728 save percentage along with 83 saves in her first season
of collegiate hockey.
Freshman Devon Seifert enters her first season with an already impressive resume. Seifert
registered 53 shutouts during her scholastic career to rank her first in the state of New Jersey
and ninth nationally.
The Schedule:
As always, the Lady Monarch field hockey schedule can be summed up in one word…
challenging. The season is a process with the intent of the team growing and getting stronger
as the season progresses with the ultimate desire of bringing home the NCAA crown.
The list of 2008 opponents includes four members of the top ten and seven members of the
Top 20 from the NFHCA Poll. The slate includes two meetings with defending national
champion North Carolina, as well as powerhouses Maryland and Duke in continued
home-and-home meetings.
Old Dominion hits the road for the first four games before opening the Powhatan Sports
Complex against Richmond on September 13th. Other exciting home games coming to the
new turf include the Tar Heels, Terps, and Blue Devils, along with matches against CAA
members Towson, Delaware, Virginia Commonwealth, William & Mary, and two-time CAA
defending champion James Madison. Road games will include the season opening neutral
site contests with NCAA runner-up Penn State and Syracuse, as well as trips to Virginia and
Boston University and CAA games with Northeastern, Hofstra, and Drexel.
Postseason action kicks off on November 6th as the CAA Championships return to the beach
and the former home of the US National Training Center, as Old Dominion will look to regain
the CAA title. The Lady Monarchs will also hope to keep its streak of NCAA Tournament
appearances alive. Old Dominion is the only school to have appeared in every tournament
since it began in 1981 marking a string of 27 consecutive post-season runs. The weekend of
November 13th-16th will start NCAA first and second round action, while this year’s final
four will take place on the campus of the University of Louisville.
Join the Lady Monarchs in the process of becoming champions.

to be officially known as the
Monarchs.
For many years, the athletic
teams of the Norfolk Division of
the College of William & Mary
(as Old Dominion was formerly called) were known as the
Braves. This was a derivation of the William & Mary nickname
of Indians. As Old Dominion achieved its own four-year status
and saw its enrollment surpass that of its Williamsburg neighbor,
it was no longer suitable or acceptable to have its teams called
the Braves.
The name Monarchs evokes much of the early history of the
Commonwealth of Virginia and of Old Dominion’s mother
institution, the College of William and Mary. The nickname
“Old Dominion” was first coined to the Virginia colony by
TEAM MANAGER
Bob
Speth
King Charles II after Virginia’s loyalty to the crown during the
English Civil War. Furthermore, William III and Mary II, whose
patronage helped found the College of William and Mary in
Virginia in 1693, ruled England at the invitation of Parliament
as “joint monarchs.”
The Monarch used by Old Dominion has a royal crown on a
lion’s head, representing an historic past and a strong future.
The school's current family of athletic logos were adopted in
April of 2002.
Bob Speth enters his third season as a manager with the Old Dominion field hockey team.
Speth is currently a junior majoring in mechanical engineering. With over eight years of
experience playing men’s field hockey club teams, Speth has played for SMHC Magnus
in Holland, with the D.C. Dragons in the Atlanta Cup in the fall of 2007, and in the Big Apple
Indoor Tournament during the spring of 2008. The son of Tom and Nicole Speth, he has two
sisters, Saskia (24) and Inger (22). His father Tom, who is in the Royal Dutch Navy and has
served in Afghanistan, is currently stationed in Norfolk working with NATO.

2007 SEASON REVIEW
O
ne of the most youthful teams in Beth Anders
tenure took the turf in 2007 and ended the
year with a 12-10 overall record and 8-0
regular season Colonial Athletic Association (CAA)
mark along with a number ten national ranking by the
National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA).
The Lady Monarchs advanced to the championship game
of the CAA Tournament and received an at-large bid to the
2007 NCAA Tournament, marking a string of 27 consecutive
post-season appearances for the Old Dominion field hockey
team, more than any other Division I school.
Anders earned her 10th CAA Coach of the Year honors
after helping to lead the Lady Monarchs against one
of the toughest schedules in the nation. Old
Dominion once again proved its national
prowess by facing four of the top
five teams in the country
according to both the
National Field Hockey
Coaches Association
(NFHCA) and Women’s
Field Hockey.Com polls, as well as eight members included in the each of
the poll’s the top 20. Among Old Dominion’s 12 victories, included four
over Top 25 competition, eight shutouts, and a perfect regular season
conference record for the 13th time since the Lady Monarchs joined the
CAA in 1991. Anders, who completed her 25th season at the helm of
the Lady Monarchs’ field hockey program, also increased her all-time
Division I-leading career victories total to 492, becoming ever closer to
becoming the first Division I field hockey coach to 500 wins.
Four Lady Monarchs earned post-season honors with senior and
Preseason Player of the Year Jo Ann van Aswegen, juniors Katelyn
Smither and Kelly Driscoll, and sophomore Titia Beek earning First Team
All-CAA honors. Van Aswegen finished her career with eight points
during her senior campaign, stemming from two goals and four assists.
Smither was Old Dominion’s fifth leading scorer having captured
five goals and three assists and served as the primary striker on
the penalty corner unit. Driscoll posted eight shutouts in cage
for the Lady Monarch and led the CAA in total saves (131),
saves per game (6.24) and shutouts (8), while ranking
second in the league in save percentage (.794). Beek,
who ranked 18th nationally in assists, led the league
and Lady Monarchs with 12. She was also second on
the stat sheet with 22 points.
Loran Hatch became Old Dominion’s seventh CAA
Rookie of the Year recipient. She totaled eight goals
in her first season with the Lady Monarchs as ODU’s
second leading goal scorer. She tied for sixth in the
CAA in goals per game (0.44), tied for fourth
in the league, and tied for first on the
Lady Monarchs in game-winning
goals (3), including one against
James Madison in a match that
decided the league’s regular
season champion.
Sami McLenegan (left) anchored the Lady
Monarch defense and rounded out her
career with her fourth nod to the NFHCA
Academic Honor Roll. Jo Ann van Aswegan
(below) was among the four Lady Monarchs
earning First Team All-CAA accolades in
2007. Van Aswegan was also the 2007
Preseason Player of the Year.
Off the field, the Lady Monarch achieved tremendous success in the
classroom. Boasting a 3.68 cumulative grade point average, the Old
Dominion field hockey team was honored with the a 2007 ZAG/National
NFHCA Division I National Academic Team Award with the highest
GPA among all Division I field hockey programs. Additionally, 18
members of the Lady Monarch field hockey team were named to the
2007 ZAG/NFHCA Division I National Academic Squad, the most of
any Division I field hockey program. The 18 members - seniors Samantha
McLenegan and Jo Ann van Aswegen, juniors Kelly
Driscoll and Katelyn Smither, sophomores
Titia Beek, Alyschia Conn, Courtney Seiders,
Kathleen Shea, Katie Ueberroth, and Hanna
Warren, and freshmen Amanda Bieber,
Paige Clutter, Arianne Evans, Loran Hatch,
Stephanie Kratzer, and Samantha Richardson,
as well as former Lady Monarch Caroline
Nichols, who wrapped up her degree - are
the most Lady Monarchs named to an NFHCA
All-Academic team in school history. McLenegan,
a graphic design major, became the eighth Lady
Monarch to be named to the all-academic team all
four years of her career.
The Lady Monarchs will have lost the services of four
members of its 2007 roster - Samantha McLenegan,
Shannon Mobley, Jo Ann van Aswegan, and Titia
Beek - however that youthful team of last season
will have gained experience, skill, and cofidence to
continue what is the Old Dominion field hockey
tradition for years to come.

“The Streak” (66-0)
n 1990, the Lady Monarchs went
23-2-1 en route to winning their fifth
NCAA trophy. At the tail end of the
season, the club began what became
known as “The Streak,” a string of 66
wins that spanned the ‘90, ‘91, ‘92, and
‘93 seasons with 48 shutout victories
included.
In 1991 and 1992, the team enjoyed
back-to-back perfect seasons, compiling
an impeccable 51-0 record over the
two additional national championship
seasons. With the wins, Old Dominion
became the only team in field hockey
history to complete the “three-peat” two
different times.
In addition to the impressive winning
ways of the Old Dominion program in
the early ‘90’s, the Lady Monarch teams
showed complete domination on both ends of the field. During that three year
span, Old Dominion outscored their opponents by a 325-26 margin. The team
allowed just four goals in the 1992 season while scoring 163.

A Tradition
O
ld Dominion University has been represented on the field
hockey turf since 1974 when first ever coach Carol Anthony
and her squad played nine games, going just 1-7-1. Since
then, the name “Old Dominion” has been associated with one of the
biggest and brightest dynasties in sport.
The years that followed saw a slow but steady improvement for Old
Dominion’s field hockey team. Former Senior Associate Athletic
Director Mikki Baile guided the team from 1975-1979, when it
improved from a 3-6-2 club in ‘75 to an 11-7 club in ‘78.
1982 NCAA National Champions (20-0-1)
Captains: Yogi Hightower and Adele Mears
In 1980, current head coach Beth Anders took over the helm of the
program and began the team’s quest for excellence in the world
of field hockey. For over a quarter of a century now, Anders has
compiled a 492-92-7 record for an impressive .838 winning percentage.
The nation’s winningest Division I field hockey coach, Anders became
the first Division I coach to reach 400 career victories and only the
third coach ever to do so in 2001. As the 2008 season begins, Anders
is making her way to becoming the first Division I coach and only
second all-time to reach the 500-victory milestone.
In her first season at the helm, Anders’ club was 18-4 finishing fifth
in the AIAW. In just her third year as a college head coach, Anders
won her first NCAA title. In 1982, the team was 20-1, beginning a
legacy that would stand unmatched through the present day. In 1983,
the team lost just one game (19-1) en route to their second NCAA
championship. Then in 1984, Old Dominion became the first school
to win three consecutive national championships when the Lady
Monarchs went through the season with a perfect 23-0 record.
1983 NCAA National Champions (19-1)
Captain: Christy Morgan
In 1985 and 1986, Anders took a leave of absence to coach the US
National team. Under Melissa Magee, Old Dominion continued its
success with a 38-9-1 mark over the two years. Upon Anders’ return,
the team went 17-5-1 in 1987 and 26-1 in 1988, winning their fourth
national title.
The juggernaut that had already established itself as the premier
field hockey program in the country would see its best days after its
first three championships. The most impressive feats in the history
of Old Dominion field hockey would take place in the early 1990’s,
quieting those who believed success was just a fluke.
1984 NCAA National Champions (23-0)
Captains: Christy Morgan and Diane Bracalente
1988 NCAA National Champions (26-1)
Captains: Jill Fisher and Paula Tumas
30
In 1990, the Lady Monarchs went 23-2-1 en route to winning their
fifth NCAA trophy. At the tail end of the season, the club began what
became known as “The Streak,” a string of 66 wins that spanned
the ‘90, ‘91, ‘92, and ’93 seasons with 48 shutout victories included.
In 1991 and 1992, the team enjoyed back-to-back perfect seasons,
compiling an impeccable 51-0 record over the two additional national
championship seasons. With the wins, Old Dominion became the
only team in field hockey history to complete the “three-peat” two
different times.
1990 NCAA National Champions
Captains: Kathy Fosina and Winnifred Sanders
Nine-Time NCAA Champions * 1982 * 1983 * 1984 * 1988 * 1990 * 1991 * 1992 * 1998 * 2000
Larger Life
than
In addition to the impressive winning ways of the Old Dominion
program in the early ‘90’s, the Lady Monarch teams showed complete
domination on both ends of the field. During that three-year span, Old
Dominion outscored their opponents by a 325-26 margin. The team
allowed just four goals in the 1992 season while scoring 163.
In late nineties and into the next millennium, the Old Dominion
field hockey team remained a force to reckon with. The 1998 squad
brought home a national championship sporting a 23-2 overall mark,
while the 2000 team gave the Lady Monarchs its unprecedented
ninth national title with a 25-1 record. Old Dominion has consistently
ranked among the top teams in the country and a name to be feared
of on the schedule.
The Lady Monarchs postseason play is nothing short of impressive
as well. Old Dominion owns an impressive 46-18 record, winning
72% of its tournament games, and having captured the title nine
times. The Lady Monarchs are the only Division I team to have made
appearances in all 27 NCAA Tournaments since the tournament’s
inception in the fall of 1981.
1991 NCAA National Champions (26-0)
Captain: Robin Smith
Old Dominion’s mark is boldly strewn over the NCAA record books as
well. The team holds several NCAA team and individual records. Of
the top ten goal scorers in the NCAA, three are from Old Dominion,
including the leader in Marina DiGiacomo (’00). In points and assists,
seven of the top 10 are former Old Dominion players while two of the
top nine goalkeepers are also former Lady Monarchs.
Not only does the Old Dominion field hockey team succeed on the
field, but the program is proud of its off-field accomplishments as
well. The University’s first-ever Rhodes Scholar, Samantha Salvia,
was a 1996 graduate of the team. The program overall has produced
53 different member of the National Academic Honor Roll and has
proudly boasted a team GPA of 3.0 or higher since 1989. In the spring
of 2008, the Lady Monarchs compiled a 3.68 team grade point average,
the highest of any Division I field hockey program in the nation.
1992 NCAA National Champions (25-0)
Captains: Kelli James, Laura Knorr, and Robin Smith
Continued success has followed many Lady Monarch alumni. Anders’
infectious love of the game has continued through her former players
with 23 of them coaching in the high school or college ranks. Many of
those former players return to the turf fields at Old Dominion during
the summer months in an effort to perpetuate the legacy through
summer youth camps.
Success has also followed the Lady Monarchs on the world’s stage as
well. Fifteen former Lady Monarch have represented their countries
of origin at the Olympics, five having earned medals. Willimien
Aardenburg (‘84), Carina Benninga (‘80), and Ingrid Wolf (‘83) helped
the Dutch team to the bronze medal in 1984, while Maacha van der
Vaart (‘90) also helped the Netherlands to bronze in 2000 and the
silver in 2004. NCAA leading scorer Marina DiGiacomo (‘00) was a
member of Argentina’s national squad, which captured bronze in
2004. In 2008, Tiffany Snow (‘’03), Angie Loy (’05), Dana Sensenig
(’06), and Caroline Nichols (’06), donned the red, white, and blue for
the U.S. in Beijing.
1998 NCAA National Champions (23-2)
Captains: Mimi Smith, Casie Fisher, Marina DiGiacomo,
and Becky Bearor
Though a handful of teams have exhibited their own superiority, no
other team has enjoyed the longevity of success that has been part of
Old Dominion’s field hockey team. When the sport was in its fledgling
years, the Lady Monarchs were taking strides to move toward and stay
at the front of the pack. With a steady and unchanged commitment to
excellence over three decades, Old Dominion remains the strongest
foe in the world of collegiate field hockey.

HONDA AWARD WINNERS
S
ince 1982, when most elite field hockey players in the nation are named
winners of the prestigious Honda Award, chances are you'll find a player
from Old Dominion University. The Lady Monarchs hold the
distinction of having produced the most Honda Award winners with six.
The first Lady Monarch to earn this award was Yogi Hightower in 1983. She
helped lead the Lady Monarchs to their first NCAA national championship
in the fall of 1982. During her four years at Old Dominion, Hightower
earned All-American honors twice.
Yogi Hightower
In 1985 Christy Morgan, a three-time All-American, was the Honda Award
recipient. She was a part of three NCAA National Championship teams
from 1982-85. Morgan was the university's Female Athlete of the Year in
1985 and completed her career with 86 goals and 133 career points.
Kelli James picked up the hardware in 1993 after leading Old Dominion
to the 1992 title, their third straight. James was a two-time All-American
and CAA Player of the Year in 1992. James completed her career with 66
assists and 196 points.
Christy Morgan
In 1999 the award came full circle when Mimi Smith received the honor.
Smith played for Yogi Hightower at Ocean Lakes High School in nearby
Virginia Beach, Va. Smith was one of the nation's top defensive players and
helped lead Old Dominion to the NCAA National Championship in 1998.
Marina DiGiacomo, earned the honor in 2000 as the Lady Monarchs
captured their ninth NCAA National Championship. DiGiacomo was a
four-time CAA Player of the Year and Tournament MVP. As a senior, she

The Colonial Athletic Association
C
oming off another record-setting season, the
Colonial Athletic Association continues to
enhance its reputation as one of the nation’s
top collegiate conferences.
2007 Final CAA Standings
With a geographic footprint stretching from Boston
to Atlanta, the CAA encompasses five of the nation’s
nine largest metropolitan areas. The conference
has produced 16 national team champions in five
different sports, 33 individual national champions,
12 national players of the year, 11 national coaches of
the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Even more
impressive, however, are the honors accumulated
away from competition, which include five Rhodes
Scholars and 21 NCAA post-graduate scholars.
In 2006-07, the CAA had six ESPN the Magazine
Academic All-Americans and more than 1,600 of our
4,000 student-athletes received the Commissioner’s
Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade
point average while lettering in a varsity sport.
Team
The landscape of the conference stretches along
the majority of the East Coast, and includes six
of the nation’s top 25 media markets – New York
(1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (5), Washington, D.C.
(8), Atlanta (9) and Baltimore (23). The number of
television homes in the CAA market exceeds 19 million.
The CAA now sponsors 22 sports with the addition of a 12-team football league in 2007. Male athletes compete for
championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis,
track & field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey,
golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. In 2006-07, a league-record
29 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths.
The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with four teams advancing to postseason play for the past three years. Conference champion VCU pulled the most noted upset of the NCAA first
round last season with its 79-77 victory over Duke and Old Dominion became the second CAA team in as many
years to receive an NCAA at-large bid. Hofstra returned to the NIT for the third straight season and Drexel made its
fourth NIT appearance in the last five years. In 2006, George Mason became the first mid-major program since 1979
to reach the Final Four, knocking off powerhouses Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut
along the way. The Patriots were ranked No. 8 in the final ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll, which was the highest
ever for a CAA team.
In women’s basketball, the CAA had three teams earn NCAA Tournament berths for the first time and four squads
advanced to post-season play for the second straight year. Perennial power Old Dominion, which has captured
three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and was national runner-up in 1997, captured its 16th consecutive
conference title. James Madison returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1996 and Delaware made
its second-ever trip to the NCAA’s. Hofstra completed its most successful season in school history by advancing
to the quarterfinals of the WNIT.
The conference also excels in many other sports. Delaware became the first CAA team to reach the Final Four of
the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship in 2007. A league-record four men’s soccer teams earned NCAA berths
in 2006, with Towson and Old Dominion advancing to the round of 16. A league-high four teams also represented
the conference in the NCAA Men’s Tennis Championship. William & Mary reached the round of 16 in women’s
tennis and the Tribe tandem of Megan Moulton-Levy and Katarina Zoricic was ranked No. 1 in the nation and
reached the finals of the NCAA Doubles Championship. CAA squads have won 10 field hockey national titles since
the championship began in 1981, which is the most of any Division I conference. Hofstra finished seventh overall
at the NCAA Wrestling Championship and William & Mary finished eighth nationally in men’s cross country. In
baseball, the league had 17 players chosen in the 2007 Major League Baseball draft. There were 37 CAA studentathletes who received All-America honors.
CAA member institutions are committed to excellence in the classroom. The Colonial Academic Alliance was created
in 2002 by the league’s presidents with a goal of expanding their partnership to all aspects of university life outside
of intercollegiate athletics. Among the programs already established are an undergraduate research conference,
coordination of study abroad programs and granting visiting academic status to student-athletes traveling to an
away contest so that they have access to libraries, academic resource centers and computer labs.
In 2002, two faculty members from CAA institutions were awarded academia’s most coveted distinction – the Nobel
Prize. John B. Fenn, a research professor in the Department of Chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University,
received the Nobel Prize for chemistry, and Vernon Smith, a professor of economics and law at George Mason
University, shared the Nobel Prize in economic sciences.
Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. The conference traces its roots back to 1983
when three of its current members- George Mason University, James Madison University, and the College of William
and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, the United States Naval Academy and the University of
Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC South). During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquired
two new members (the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and American University) and decided to form
a new association. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985.
Charter members George Mason, James Madison, UNC Wilmington and William and Mary were joined by Old
Dominion University in 1991 and by Virginia Commonwealth University in 1995. The conference added the University
of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra University and Towson University in 2001. Georgia State University and
Northeastern University became members of the conference on July 1, 2005.
From all-star athletes to Nobel Prize winning faculty, the CAA takes great pride in producing performers who stand
out both on the playing field and in the classroom.

ODU OLYMPIANS
W
hen it comes to participation and influence in the sport of Olympic
field hockey, no other school is more convincing than Old Dominion
University. From current coaches to former players, Old Dominion
has produced a number of field hockey players representing the United States on
a national and international level.
The reach of Old Dominion’s field hockey Olympians is wide and deep with
the most prestigious of international sporting events. Dating back to 1980, the
Lady Monarchs have had at least one participant in each of the Olympic games
through 2008. What makes Old Dominion and its influence more impressive
however it that it spans not only our native United States, but several other
countries, including the Netherlands and Argentina.
Men have been representing the United States in field hockey competition since
1932, but it wasn’t until the Moscow Olympics in 1980 that women’s field hockey
Yogi Hightower and Cheryl Van Kuren were among the Lady
Monarchs representing the United States in Seoul in 1988.
was introduced. In that Olympiad, Zimbabwe, Czechoslovakia, and the USSR
finished in medal spots with a third ranked United States left out of competition
because of a political boycott. Team captain Beth Anders along with current
assistant coach Gwen Alexander were thus forced to wait another four years for a chance at international gold.
In 1984, however, two-time captain Anders, Alexander and the U.S. field hockey contingent finally realized their medal
dreams by winning the bronze. It was during those games that Anders set an Olympic scoring record that still stands today.
In its five-game competition, the U.S. team scored nine goals…eight of them coming from the stick of Anders. In addition
to Anders and Alexander, two other players represented the Lady Monarchs as alternates at the Los Angles Olympics. Yogi
Hightower (‘82) and Christy Morgan (‘84) heralded the international influence of Old Dominion that would grow to span
generations.
In the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Old Dominion produced seven Olympians. Hightower, Morgan, Diane Bracalente (‘84), and
Cheryl van Kuren (‘85) represented the United States, while Willemien Aardenburg (’84), Carina Benninga (’80), and Ingrid
Wolf (’83) brought home bronze for their home country of the Netherlands. Similarly, Jill Reeve (‘92) and Kelli James (‘92)
represented the United States at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic games as the U.S. team finished in fifth place.

Macha van der Vaart (‘90) helped the Dutch team repeat
as bronze medalists at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney,
Australia.
Although the United States fell just one game short
of qualifying for the 2004 games to be held in Athens,
Greece, two of Old Dominion’s alumni earned medals
for their respective countries. NCAA all-time leading
scorer Marina DiGiacomo (‘00) helped Argentina to the
bronze, while van der Vaart’s earned her second medal
with the Dutch team with a silver.
Four Old Dominion alumni returned the United States
to the games for the first time since 1996. Honda Award
winner Tiffany Snow (‘03), CAA Player of the Year
Angie Loy (‘04), CAA Tournament MVP Dana Sensenig
(‘07), and CAA Player and Defender of the Year Caroline
Nichols (‘07) donned the red, white, and blue for the
2008 Beijing Olympics. In pool play, the four former
Lady Monarchs helped Team USA finish with a record
of one win, one loss, and three ties. Among the ties was
a thrilling 2-2 tie with Argentina, the defending silver
medalists and number two team in the world. Loy tied
the game in the 64th minute of action in one of the most
shocking matches of the 2008 games.
Tiffany Snow (‘03), a member of the U.S. National Team since
2003, in Beijing during the 2008 Olympics against Japan.
As anyone can see, the Old Dominion field hockey
program transcends the college ranks into the
international realm of hockey. No matter where you
look, a Lady Monarch will be there.

ODU ADMINISTRATION
John R. Broderick
J
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
ohn R. Broderick became acting president of Old
Dominion University on July 1, 2008.
Broderick joined Old Dominion in 1993 as director
of public information and has served as vice president of
institutional advancement and admissions since 1996. In 2003,
he was given the additional responsibilities of chief of staff.
His areas of responsibility included admissions, athletics,
community relations, governmental relations, licensing,
marketing, media relations, military affairs, photography,
publications, special events, student financial aid and the
campus Visitor Center.
In addition, he serves as executive editor of both the
alumni magazine and Quest, the faculty research magazine. Broderick recently chaired
the committee to select ODU’s provost, and he currently heads university-wide initiatives
for branding, enrollment management and emergency communications.
Broderick was one of four finalists for the PR News’ 2006-07 Professional of the
Year award for an academic institution.
In addition to his administrative duties, he annually teaches the School, Community
Relations and Politics course to graduate students in the Darden College of Education and
has written articles for the Chronicle of Higher Education, Hartford Courant, Baltimore
Sun, Sporting News, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Richmond Times-Dispatch, Virginian-Pilot
and Daily Press.
Prior to coming to ODU, Broderick was a faculty member at the University
of Pittsburgh and an administrator at St. Bonaventure University. He also served as
the tourism director for the island of Martha’s Vineyard and as a reporter for several
newspapers in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
Dr. Jim Jarrett
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
T
he success of the Old Dominion University athletic
program is unprecedented in the state of Virginia
over the course of the last four decades, with 28 team
national titles and four individual national titles, countless
Olympians, All Americans and conference titles and a 90 per
cent exhausted eligibility graduation rate. Dr. Jim Jarrett has
been providing the guidance and leadership for the Monarchs
during all four decades as one of the most respected athletic
director’s in the nation.
Jarrett began his 38th year as athletic director in 2008,
taking over the reigns in 1970 when Bud Metheny stepped
down from that position. As one of the youngest athletic directors in the nation at
that time, Jarrett quickly began to make a name for himself and ODU. In 1974, Jarrett
became the first athletic director in the state of Virginia to award grant-in-aids to women
student-athletes. It was a bold move at the time for a young athletic director and equally
young university, but one that paid great dividends. Just five years later, in 1979, the
Lady Monarchs won the first of three national championships in women’s basketball,
and led the nation in attendance.
Under his leadership, the department’s athletic venues have tripled. They include
the construction of the Bud Metheny Baseball Complex, the ODU Sailing Center, the
Athletic Administration Building, the ODU Soccer Complex, the 8,500 seat Constant
Convocation Center, the Folkes-Stevens Indoor Tennis Center and the Powhatan Sports
Complex. Currently, Jarrett is overseeing the renovation of Foreman Field, where the
Monarchs will begin a football program in 2009. For all his efforts, Jarrett has been honored
many times by national and local groups. Most recently, Jarrett was given Lifetime
Achievement awards from NACDA and VaSID. In 2003, he was named the Southeast
Regional Athletic Director of the Year by NACDA. Other awards he’s received include
the Collegiate Director’s Award from the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, and
the Norfolk Sports Club Man of the Year. He served as a member of the NCAA Women’s
Basketball Committee and is a past president of the Colonial Athletic Association and
the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.
An avid golfer and tennis player, Jarrett and his wife Sugie reside in Norfolk.

Old Dominion University campus.
O
ld Dominion University began its tradition of excellence when it was
founded in 1930 by the College of William and Mary, the second oldest
university in the United States. Established as an extension of William and
Mary in Williamsburg, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg,
Old Dominion began educating teachers and engineers. The two-year school rapidly
evolved into a four-year institution, and was granted independence in 1962 as Old
Dominion College. It attained university status in 1969.
Today, Old Dominion enrolls more than 23,500 students, including approximately
6,200 graduate students. The university offers 70 bachelor’s degrees, 60 master’s
degrees, 36 doctoral degrees and two educational specialist degrees, and consists of six
colleges: Arts and Letters, Business and Public Administration, Education, Engineering
and Technology, Health Sciences and Sciences. The university has achieved designation
as a Research University (high research activity) from the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching.
Proud of its past, Old Dominion constantly looks to the future and prides itself
on its continually expanding research and teaching programs. A forward-focused,
public doctoral research university, it serves students from around the world who
want a rigorous academic experience in a profoundly multicultural community.
At Old Dominion, nationally recognized faculty use real-world expertise and
innovative teaching methods to challenge students to achieve their highest goals. The
university’s entrepreneurial approach to problem solving drives cutting-edge research,
eminent scholarship and strategic partnerships with government, business, industry,
organizations and the arts.
Approximately 730 full-time and 650 part-time faculty members bring a wealth
of talent to Old Dominion classrooms each day. Many have been recognized on the
state and national levels with awards for teaching, research and service. Since 1990,
Old Dominion faculty have won three professor of the year awards from the Carnegie
Institute for the Advancement of Teaching, one Humbolt Award, three Virginia
42
Outstanding Scientist awards, and 22 Virginia Outstanding
Faculty Awards that are sponsored by the State Council of
Higher Education for Virginia.
The students at Old Dominion share a special sense
of excitement derived in part from the rich tapestry of
backgrounds, cultures and ages represented on campus. Students
hail from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. Studying in this multicultural
environment, and taking advantage of a guaranteed internship program, offers
students a true edge after they graduate and begin to compete for jobs.
Among ODU’s outstanding students in recent years are a Rhodes Scholar,
Truman Scholar and three USA Today Academic All-Americans, as well as the first
undergraduate in Virginia to earn a patent.
Situated on 188 acres near downtown Norfolk, Old Dominion’s main campus stretches
from the Elizabeth River to the Lafayette River. With its garden areas, reflecting pools
and spacious green lawns bordered by tree-lined walkways, the campus offers the
best of both worlds – a beautiful setting and just minutes away from Hampton Roads’
largest cities.
One of the most exciting developments on the campus today is the University
Village, with its impressive centerpiece, the Ted Constant Convocation Center, which
opened its doors in 2002 and hosts everything from basketball games to concerts to
commencements. This 75-acre development at the east end of campus is home to
960 modern student apartments, a variety of restaurants and shops, a hotel, research
facilities, an art gallery and bookstore.
On the main campus, at the west end of the grassy, five-acre Kaufman Mall, lies
Webb University Center, a spacious facility for student life that dazzles with its twostory glass facade. At the north end of campus is the Williamsburg Lawn, with its
towering willow oak trees and 1930s-era buildings, offering students and visitors a trip
back in time to the beginnings of the university.
Recent additions to the campus include an indoor tennis center, orchid conservatory
and research building. Scheduled to open during the 2008-09 academic year are a
student recreational center, and physical sciences building.
The university is located approximately 200 miles south of Washington, D.C., and is
a short drive to Virginia Beach, Williamsburg and the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Prospective students and families are welcome to visit the campus Monday through
Saturday throughout the year.

K N O W T H E R U L E S T O P L AY
S
o you were born ready to play in the NCAA?
You’re one of the top freshmen recruits in the nation.
You’re ready to rock, to dominate your competitors,
to grab the headlines...to plan for the pros...
Hold on, superstar, your ninth-grade math class was not
one of the 16 core courses required by the NCAA. You’re a
nonqualifier and cannot practice or compete during your
freshman year or receive an athletic scholarship.
Don’t find yourself in the title role of this sad story. If
you wanna play, know the rules.
You’re already taking the right steps — you’re reading
this feature. Register with the NCAA Initial-Eligibility
Clearinghouse. Ask questions. The rules can be complex, so
ask your school counselors and the NCAA for help.
The regulations are in place for a reason. Did you know
the odds of a high school football player making it to
the pros are about 1,000 to 1; the odds for a high school
basketball player are 10,000 to 3? Take a hard look at those
numbers and think about what will matter in the long run
— a college education.
Arrive at college ready to compete in the classroom as
well as one the playing field. Study as hard as you practice.
And don’t wait to get started. If you wait until your senior
year, it may be too late to reach the required grade-point
average or to enroll for the right kinds of courses.
If you want to play at the NCAA Division I level, make
sure you qualify academically so you can participate
athletically. Challenge yourself, because we all want you
to succeed.
Core Courses
To play sports as a freshman in NCAA Division I, you
must meet specific standards. You must graduate from high
school and make at least a 2.000 grade point average based
on a 4.000 scale in 16 core academic courses.
NCAA Div. I Core Academic Course Requirements
* Four years of English
* Three years of math (one year of algebra and one year of a
higher-level mathematics course).
* Two years of social science.
* Two years of natural or physical science (including one lab
course if offered by your high school).
* One year of an additional course in English, math, or natural
or physical science.
* Two years of a social science.
* Four years of additionally courses ( from any area above,
foreign language, or nondoctrinal religion/philosophy).
Steps to Success
Read: It’s never too early for student-athletes to start
planning for college. Visit www.ncaaclearinghouse.net and
www.ncaa.org to view information that will help you find
out if you are on track to meet academic and core-course
requirements. This material will walk you through the
academic standards, Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse, financial
aid, recruiting rules, and other issues.
Register: If you want to participate in Division I
sports in college, then you must register with the NCAA’s
Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse. You can register online at
www.ncaaclearinghouse.net. Ask your guidance counselor
for registration forms or call the hotline to ask for copies.
Student-athletes should start the certification process when
they are juniors in high school.
Also, register to take the ACT or SAT as a junior. Submit
your Student Release Form to the Clearinghouse by the
beginning of your senior year. Confused about registering?
Ask questions of your coaches, your counselors, or call the
hotline.
NCAA Div. I Grade and Test Score Requirements
A student-athlete wishing to play at the Division
I level would need to use the following sliding scale
to determine what SAT or ACT score is needed to
practice, compete, and receive athletic scholarships
as a freshman. The higher the GPA, the lower the
test score required:
