2011-12 ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Friends,

As you may already know, athletics is one of four initiatives in Siena’sStrategic Plan for 2011-16, “Living our Tradition.” The objective is to leveragethe investment in Division I athletics to promote an engaged campus. In itsfirst year, we focused on expanding challenging and enriching academic opportu-nities for our students, began the discussion on expanding and renovating theAlumni Recreation Center (ARC), and promoted the academic success of ourstudent athletes.

In the fall, we created the office of student athlete engagement, hiring Lori Jancikto serve as its first director. Lori is working closely with administrators andfaculty to provide our student athletes exciting academic opportunities, including: undergraduateresearch, meaningful internships, and invitations to national conferences and seminars.

A major objective in the Strategic Plan is the enhancement of our facility. The ARC opened in 1974,and the Marcelle Athletic Complex in 1992. Both facilities were built when we had fewer coaches,staff and student athletes. During the 2011-12 academic year we began to articulate a concept toimprove the student athlete experience through the betterment of these facilities. We look forwardto actively advancing the design phase of this project in 2012-13.

We had modest athletic success this year. Women’s golf won a 12th straight Metro Atlantic AthleticConference title, men’s lacrosse won the MAAC regular-season championship and advanced to thechampionship game, and volleyball and women’s lacrosse both qualified for their respective MAACTournaments. Many teams suffered significant, unforeseen setbacks, but we need to do better. Atthe end of the year I sat with each head coach and their sport administrator to make sure all under-stand our expectations.

We welcome two new head coaches to our staff. Ali Jaques has been hired to lead our women’s basketball program. She is a young woman who has experienced a National Championship as aplayer (New York University) and national success as an assistant coach. Kara Zappone joined usthis spring to turn around our field hockey program. Kara, a native of Glens Falls, played in the Big Ten at the University of Iowa, and was an assistant coach at Fairfield University.

Our student athletes continue to bring Siena national attention by distinguishing themselves academically, and practice the Franciscan tradition of service to others through our Saints in theCommunity program. Siena won the 2011-12 MAAC Pepsi Refresh Goodworks Challenge, an accomplishment we take great pride in.

We are fortunate to have a very talented and dedicated administrative staff to complement ourcoaches and serve our student athletes. We continue to excel and exceed many schools in the MAACin terms of communications, marketing, development and corporate sponsorships. Additionally,our sports medicine, strength and conditioning, academic advising, operations and compliancedepartments are led by people who keep the student athlete well being front and center.

I am excited for 2012-13 because I know we have a group of talented student athletes and coacheswho are anxious to produce conference champions. Thank you for being a friend to our department.

Go Saints!

John D’Argenio, Director of Athletics

Athletes.Siena student athletes are among the most likely in the nation to graduate.Using the most recent data in the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate(GSR) report, student athletes who entered Siena as freshmen in 2004graduated from college at a 98% clip.

Cross Country’s Meghan Yi Named Siena College Student of the YearMeghan Yi ’12 made the most of her Siena experience.

A four-year member of Siena’s cross country program, Yi graduated summacum laude in May as a biology major with a French minor. A week later, Yiand Julie Juchno ’12 of the women’s golf team, hopped on their bikes andembarked on a 3,993-mile bike ride from Jacksonville, Fla., to Fresno, Calif.,as part of the “Bike and Build” program.

This was one of many service ventures Yi participated in during her time atSiena. She volunteered on two Spring Break Habitat for Humanity trips,most recently building houses in Winston-Salem, N.C., in April.

In the summer of 2011, Yi and Juchno spent seven weeks teaching mathand English at the Bernhard Nordkamp Centre in Windhoek, Namibia, acamp directed by former women’s soccer player and Siena Alumni ServiceMedal recipient MaryBeth Gallagher ’86.

When not in the classroom, on the course, or giving her time in the community,Yi somehow found time to work as an R.A., sing in the Siena chorus, and bean active member of the music ministry in the Chaplain’s Office.

It’s no wonder the Siena student senate named Yi the 2011-12 Siena CollegeStudent of the Year.

“I feel really honored to be recognized for what I’ve accomplished the pastfour years,” said Yi. “I have been blessed with all the opportunities Siena hasgiven me academically, athletically and musically. It has been a great placefor me to foster all of my passion.”

Yi will enroll at Albany Medical College in the fall, where she hopes to becomea pediatrician, and take another service mission to a French-speakingcountry in Africa.

ELITE COMPANYJerry West. Tim Duncan. Larry Bird. OD Anosike?The latter may be less known, but his achievements are no less amazing.Anosike, a junior forward at Siena, strung together 17 straight double-doubles

this season. The streak started November 6, 2011, and ended February 2. Thetotal fell three shy of West, tied Duncan and was one better than Bird.

What may be even more impressive is the transformation that Anosike’s gamehas undergone. In 2010-11, his stat sheet held a modest 6.8 rebounds per game,but this season boasted 12.5 boards per contest, which is good enough to leadall of Division I men’s basketball.

Anosike also has got the job done in the classroom, posting a 3.75 GPA this falland a 3.12 cumulative GPA as an economics major at a school that ranked seventhnationally with a 98 percent Graduation Success Rate in the NCAA’s latest report.

He has seven siblings, one of whom is WNBA star Nicky Anosike, who heused to play against when he grew up. Nicky was the 2008 NCAA Woman ofthe Year after leading Tennessee to the national championship. All of his oldersiblings have gone on to achieve great success — several in the medical field.

The nickname OD originated early. “In kindergarten the kids had troublepronouncing Oderah, so my mom said, ‘Just call him OD, the first two lettersof his name,’ and it kind of stuck with me ever since,” said Anosike, whose givenname translates to “whatever God has written can never be taken away.”
