PRESIDENT’S LETTERWhether you’re a parent, an athlete, a member of the media or a spirited specta-

tor, I am pleased to welcome you to our Yellow Jacket community and look for-ward to cheering on the Jackets with you!

As a member of the Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC), Waynesburg Univer-sity offers 18 NCAA Division III varsity sports for our hundreds of student-athletes. While the reasons for participation in these sports are many, all of our athletic programs are aimed at helping our student-athletes grow spiritually, intellectually and athletically during their collegiate experience.

Last spring, with 58 Waynesburg University student-athletes named to the PAC Academic Honor Roll, Waynesburg University had the highest number of honorees for all PAC members for the fourth consecutive semester. This impressive achieve-ment illustrates the caliber of student-athletes at Waynesburg.

Our goal is to provide our student-athletes with the best possible education and experiences that will prepare them to lead lives of purpose. We actively recruit stu-dent-athletes with high academic standards who will pursue excellence in the class-room and community while competing at the highest level in their chosen sport.

On behalf of Waynesburg University students, faculty and staff, I would like to thank you for your interest in our athletic programs. I hope that you enjoy another great year of athletic competition at Waynesburg University!

Douglas G. LeePresident

Sam Jones is back for his sev-enth season as the head of the Wa y n e s b u r g women’s bas-ketball team af-ter leading his Yellow Jackets to three-straight winnings sea-

sons, including back-to-back 20-win campaigns (2010-11 and 2011-12). Af-ter five years on the bench, Jones boasts a 72-65 overall record, which ranks him second on the school’s rankings in terms of overall wins and winning percentage (.526).

Three years ago, Jones led his Jackets to a 20-8 overall record that includ-ed a 14-4 mark in Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) play and a slew of memorable moments. The Jackets se-cured not one, but two signature wins over 2011 NCAA qualifier Saint Vincent during the regular season.The first of those two victories came during a sea-son-best nine-game winning streak. For the second-straight year, Waynesburg scored an opening-round victory in the postseason conference tournament and then came two points shy of advancing to the PAC title game.

For his efforts, Jones earned his first PAC Coach of the Year award and was joined three of his top players on the all-conference teams. Senior point

guard Hannah Hunter led the way with a first-team nod, while junior guards Jes-si Drayer and Brittany Spencer earned second-team and honorable mention nods, respectively. Hunter finished her senior campaign as Waynesburg’s lead-er in assists (5.3 apg) and steals (2.9 spg), while also finishing second on the team in scoring (13.5 ppg). She also set the school record for career assists this past winter and surpassed the 1,000-ca-reer point mark.

During the 2010-11 campaign, the Jack-ets exploded for a 21-9 overall record, the program’s best since 1994-95, won its first PAC playoff game since the 2005-06 when they took down Washington & Jefferson, and capped the year by win-ning the school’s first ECAC South title as the top seed and host team.

The 2010-11 Jacket women also made a big mark in the school record book by breaking five team records and three individual marks. As a squad, Waynes-burg set new program highs in field goals attempted in a season (1,962), free throws made in a season (405), free throw percentage in a season (71.4 percent), rebounds in a season (1,324) and team blocks in a season (115).

The Yellow Jackets also set three new individual records, two of which were achieved by four-time All-PAC forward Elisha Jones. Jones set the school career blocks record with 150 and attempted 445 field goals this season, which is the top mark for one year of play. Junior

point guard Hannah Hunter also wrote her name into the record books with 132 assists, the most for a Waynesburg player in a single season.

Over his first three years at the helm, Jones has increased his team’s overall and Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) wins total and guided sevearl players to All-PAC honors.

During the 2008-09 season, his first as the leader of the Waynesburg wom-en’s basketball team, Jones brought some national attention to the Yellow Jackets as he guided them to one of the biggest one-year turnarounds in all of Division III.

After taking over the team in late April of 2008, Jones led the young team to an 8-18 season, a seven-win improve-ment from their 1-25 effort in 2007. That increase tied for the 12th-largest in the D-III ranks last season.

Jones also coached then-sophomore Elisha Jones and then-freshman Callie White to All-PAC laurels. Jones was also named a PAC Women’s Player of the Week and White was named to the D3Hoops.com Team of the Week back on Jan. 21.

Jones came to the Yellow Jackets from Mount Union where he spent a total of four years as an assistant coach with both the men’s and women’s pro-grams. While he only spent one year as the head assistant with the women’s program in 2006-2007, Jones was part

of a Purple Raiders’ team that upset a pair of nationally-ranked opponents.

Before his work with the women’s team, Jones spent three years (2003-2006) with the Mt. Union men. During that span, Jones helped develop five All-Ohio Athletic Conference selections and a pair of 1,000-point scorers.

Jones started his basketball coaching career in 1995 at Grenville Christian College, a high-school level institution located in Brockville, Ontario, approx-imately 70 miles south of Ottawa. He served the next five years as head junior varsity boys’ basketball coach before accepting the varsity coaching job in 2000. One year earlier, Jones also assumed the head coaching job of the varsity girls’ basketball team at the school.

In addition to his basketball duties at Grenville Christian, Jones coached men’s volleyball and track & field while serving as an assistant athletic director and physical education teacher.

Jones recently earned his Masters of Business Administration degree from Waynesburg after graduating from the University of Mount Union with a Bach-elor of Arts degree in physical educa-tion and minors in education and ex-ercise science. He currently resides just south of Washington, Pa. with his wife Ruth-Ann and children Hannah, Lucas, Rebekah and Nathan.
