This Is Bridgewater Col legeEver since founder Daniel C.

Flory set out in 1880 to “educate and de-

velop the whole person,” Bridge-water has moved forward with the times

and yet stayed true to an educa-

tional philosophy that champions traditional values,

exceptional scholarship, meaning-ful activities and service to the community.

The beauty of the concept lies in its application – that there are more ways than one in which to learn, grow and succeed. And its grounding in tradition provides a constancy that is increasingly rare in today’s hectic, ever-changing society.

Bridgewater off ers a social and academic environ-ment in which students can develop as whole persons. The distinctive Personal Development Portfolio (PDP) program is the coordinating method by which this is achieved. The program seeks to cultivate four dimen-sions of personal development: citizenship and com-munity responsibility, intellectual growth and discovery, emotional maturation and physical health, and ethical and spiritual growth. The goal is to challenge stu-dents to develop their talents and to venture beyond their chosen disciplines to discover new interests and strengths.

At Bridgewater College, students will fi nd outlets for their talents and energy that include top-notch theatrical productions, championship athletic teams, student-led spiritual opportunities and service-learn-ing – a uniquely satisfying way in which to meet human needs while pursuing educational growth. More than 70 campus clubs and organizations give students a vast range of ways through which to explore personal or professional interests.

Bridgewater College is a member of the Old Domin-ion Athletic Conference (ODAC) and the NCAA Division III, and is highly competitive – and successful – in both. It off ers Intercollegiate competition in 20 varsity sports for both men and women. In addition, all students may elect to play in the College’s year-round intramu-ral leagues, which include competition in 20 diff erent sports.

Bridgewater College is located in the heart of the breathtaking Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. The Col-lege, which was founded as a coeducational school affi liated with the Church of the Brethren, was the fi rst four-year, private, liberal arts college in Virginia to admit women. Nestled amid wooded hills, winding rivers and a picturesque township, Bridgewater College provides an atmosphere that is conducive to living, learning and developing the well-rounded, wholly educated student.

A L ook Back at 2005The fi eld hockey

team continued its building process as the Eagles inched closer to the upper half of the ODAC standings in 2005.

The Eagles fi nished with a 9-9 regular season record and a 3-5 mark in the ODAC.

Bridgewater opened its season with an impressive performance at the Black-Eyed Susan tournament hosted by Villa Julie College.

The Eagles won the tournament opener by defeating Immaculate. 3-1. Erin Spadaro led the Eagles with a pair of goals. The Eagles then defeated Washington & Jef-ferson, 3-0, behind a pair of goals from Sarah Evans. BC senior Melissa McLean was named the tournament MVP.

Bridgewater picked up conference wins over Sweet Briar, Roanoke and Randolph-Macon Woman’s College during regular season play. The Eagles lost in the open-ing round of the conference tournament, 6-2, at Virginia Wesleyan.

Spadaro earned fi rst-team All-ODAC honors and was also named to the VaSID All-State College Division fi rst team. Mandy Nixon received second-team All-ODAC honors while Kim Johnston, Jennie Hoff msith and Courtney Harvey received honorable mention.

Spadaro, Harvey, Johnston, Evans, McLean, Kendra Anderson, Rachel Doria Karen Hammerschmidt, Lind-say Snyder, Kathleen Tamberino and Francis Waldron were named to the Division III Academic Squad by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association.

2006 Season Pr eviewThe Bridgewater

College fi eld hockey team returns seven starters from a 2005 team that fi nished with a 9-9 regular season record.

The Eagles lost four players to grad-uation, including starting goalkeeper Frankee Waldron, starting defender Melissa McLean and attackers Sarah Evans and Jennie Hoff smith.

The Eagles will build the 2006 team around senior midfi eld Erin Spadaro, a two-time All-ODAC fi rst team selection. Spadaro led the Eagles with 31 points on 12 goals and seven assists.

Also returning are All-ODAC honorable mention picks Kim Johnston and Courtney Harvey.

Johnson scored 13 points a year ago and will spark the attack that also includes promising sophomore Kendra Anderson. Rachal Doria, another sophomore should also see action at the attack position. Anderson saw action in every game and scored three goals along with one as-sist. Doria played in 15 games and scored two goals and added two assists.

The defense should be strong with the return of Harvey, Beth Beau-champ, Karen Ham-merschmidt and Candice Breeden.

With the ex-pected return of 15 players to go along with a solid recruit-ing class, the Eagles should continue their improvement in the tough Old Dominion Athletic Conference.

Head CoachAllyson Kenyon

Allyson Ke-nyon begins her fourth year at the helm of the Bridgewater Col-lege fi eld hockey team. Kenyon has steadily improved her win record over the past three seasons and has high expecta-tions for her 2006 squad to continue the trend.

Kenyon, a native of Har-risburg, PA, attended Central Dauphin East High School where she participated in three varsity sports: Field Hockey, Swimming and Soccer. In 1996 she was named the school’s Most Outstanding Female Athlete for her eff orts on all three teams. She continued her athletic and academic career at Juniata College in Huntingdon, PA where she participated on both the fi eld hockey and swim teams for all four years. She was a three time member of the National Field Hockey Coaches’ Association’s All-Academic Team and the Mid-Atlantic Conference All-Academic squads for both sports. Kenyon earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Politics from Juniata in 2000.

Emphasizing academic excellence as well as team-work and competitiveness, Kenyon has had 12 athletes receive NFHCA Division III All-Academic Team honors. She has also coached two all-conference fi rst team selections, two all-conference second team players, and fi ve all-conference honorable mention awardees.

Prior to her years at Bridgewater, Kenyon worked in Washington, D.C. for a non-profi t organization. She also helped coach the inaugural season of the T.C. Williams Varsity Girls’ Lacrosse team.

Kenyon currently resides in Harrisonburg, VA with her dog Champ and also serves as the assistant lacrosse coach for Bridgewater College. In her spare time she enjoys hiking, kayaking, playing in the local recreational soccer league, and of course, playing fi eld hockey and lacrosse every chance she gets.

O ld Dominion Athlet ic Confer enceEntering its 31st season, the Old

Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) has grown into one of the nation’s largest Divsion III conferences. The 13-member league stands as the second-largest multi-sport Division III conference in the country.

The league was formed on May 18, 1975 as the Virginia College Conference and began operations in September of 1976 (The name change to ODAC became eff ective January 1, 1976). Charter members were eight colleges located in the state of Virginia: Bridgewater, Eastern Men-nonite, Emory & Henry, Hampden-Sydney, Lynchburg, Randolph-Macon, Roanoke and Washington and Lee.

From its initial year of operation through the 1981-82 academic year, the ODAC sponsored competition in 10 men’s varsity sports, including football, soccer and cross-country in the fall; basketball, wrestling and indoor track in the winter; and baseball, golf, tennis and outdoor track in the spring. Women’s sports were added prior to the 1982-83 school year. Today the ODAC has grown to sponsoring championships in 22 sports.

The conference expanded in the late 1980’s and again in the early 1990’s. Virginia Wesleyan became the 12th member of the conference in 1988 and began full-scale competition in the league in the 1989-90 academic sea-son. Guilford College, voted into the league in the spring of 1990, began competing for conference championships in the 1991-92 year.

Over the past several years the conference and the city of Salem, Va. have gained national attention through hosting NCAA championships in football, men’s bas-ketball, baseball and softball. The growing list of titles passed out in Salem began in the fall of 1993 with the DIII football championship. Since that time, the two hosts have gained three additional tournaments, including the NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Final Four.
