Marietta college 

MARIETTA 

College 

When you’re a Pioneer, you’re part of a 

diverse and vibrant campus experience. 

Celebrating its 175th anniversary during the 2009-10 academic 

year, Marietta College is a four-year liberal arts college located in 

Marietta, Ohio at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio rivers. 

Tracing its roots to the Muskingum Academy begun in 1797, 

the College was officially chartered in 1835. Today, Marietta College serves 

a body of 1,400 full-time students. The College offers 42 majors and has 

been listed among Baron’s Best Buys in College Education and Peterson’s 

Competitive Colleges, and has been recognized as one of the top regional 

comprehensive colleges by U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton 

Review as well as one of the nation’s best by Forbes.com. 

In 1835, Marietta College received its charter from the State of Ohio 

to offer college-level degrees. Marietta College now includes more than 40 

buildings over 129 acres located two blocks from downtown Marietta. Marietta 

College is a private, nonsectarian, coeducational, contemporary liberal 

arts college. As an institution of higher education, Marietta College seeks to 

prepare highly qualified graduates through its educational programs. Consistently 

ranked by U. S. News and World Report among the best liberal 

arts colleges in the Midwest, Marietta has attained national recognition for 

many of its programs, including studies in leadership education. 

The fall enrollment of the College was 1,400, including students from 

40 states and 10 countries. The male-to-female ratio is nearly 50:50, and 

the student-to-faculty ratio is 12:1. 

The community of Marietta, Ohio, was settled in 1788 by Revolutionary 

War veterans and became the first settlement of the Northwest Territory. 

Now a city of 14,000, Marietta saw its greatest growth during the oil boom of 

the late 19th century. Still, Marietta has retained a particular pioneer spirit of 

independence and outward New England charm. Its historical significance 

also makes Marietta a popular location for tourists around the country. 

Marietta is a riverboat town situated at the confluence of the Ohio and 

Muskingum rivers, and many of the community’s most important celebrations 

and activities are associated with the rivers. Marietta is part of the 

Marietta-Parkersburg metropolitan area, which has a population of more 

than 130,000. 

Continued 

Growth 

Marietta’s hopes are high for the 2009 season, as it will 

feature a talented core of young players that earned the 

necessary experience for success in the OAC a year ago. 

10th-year coach Patrick Holguin returns 15 letterwinners, 

including eight starters from the 2008 squad but must replace four-time 

All-OAC standout Jessica Martinez, the program’s second all-time leading 

scorer with 28 goals. 

Seven of the eight players to score a goal last year were freshmen and 

six of them are back for 2009. Cara Nuss is the leading point scorer with 

four goals and three assists, while Corryn Muench added four goals and 

one assist and Chelsea Hennen contributed three goals and one assist. In 

addition, Christina Tirpak, Hannah Conn and Tessa Harlow all return after 

scoring one goal in 2008. 

Muench, sophomore Jennifer Wilder and junior Marsha Hupp will 

anchor the defense in front of either junior Helen Hetzel or senior Jenna 

Freeman, who returns after not playing in 2008. Both goalkeepers have the 

in-game experience to lead the Pioneers in 2009. 

Marietta begins the season at Geneva (Pa.) on Sept. 2 before opening 

at home with its annual four-team tournament on Sept. 5-6. Game one of 

the tournament will feature Marietta against Bluffton. Wooster will then battle 

St. Vincent (Pa.) in game two. The team will continue its non-conference 

schedule throughout the rest of September, highlighted by a trip to Newport 

News, Va., to take on host Christopher Newport on Sept. 20. The Pioneers’ 

OAC opener is slated for Oct. 2 against visiting Heidelberg. Four of Marietta’s 

final six games will take place at home on Marietta Field.

Head coach 

Head coach 

Patrick Holguin 

Holguin starts his 10th season with the women 

As the head of both 

Marietta College 

soccer programs 

for the past decade, 

Patrick Holguin spends most of 

his fall on the soccer field. The 

2009 campaign will be no different. 

Holguin enters his 10th season as 

the women’s head coach; it will 

also be his 12th year leading the 

men’s program. 

Sporting a career record of 

82-60-18 (.569) with the women’s 

program, Holguin holds the best 

winning percentage among any 

of the Pioneers’ past coaches. Holguin is also the only coach in school 

history to achieve 12 wins in a season, a feat he accomplished in 2003 and 

2004. He then led his 2005 Pioneers to a school record 14 wins. Holguin’s 

2003 crew was also responsible for claiming Marietta’s best Ohio Athletic 

Conference finish (two-way tie for third) since 1991. Under his direction, 

the women have racked up 26 All-OAC and 16 Academic All-OAC honors. 

In addition, four athletes were named Clyde A. Lamb recipients, while one 

received the Betty Cleland award. 

Holguin, the 2008 Men’s OAC Coach of the Year, has achieved similar 

success with the men’s program, compiling a 77-100-18 (.441) career 

record. His winning percentage ranks fifth among Pioneer soccer coaches. 

In 2007, Holguin guided the men to a late-season run and earned the 

school’s first OAC Tournament berth in 10 seasons. Marietta, who posted 

an 11-7-3 record, took the next step in 2008. The fourth-seeded Pioneers 

posted their first ever OAC Tournament win and went on to finish runnerup 

in the 2008 OAC Tournament. In 2002, his team finished the season 

12-5-2, the most victories by a squad since 1984. Holguin’s athletes have 

accumulated 19 All-OAC and 14 Academic All-OAC honors. Among them 

is Marcos Vaca, only the second player in Marietta history to earn All-OAC 

honors in four straight years (2001-04). 

A 1989 graduate from Quinnipiac College with a degree in International 

Business, Holguin began his coaching career in Houston, Texas. From 

1993-97, he was the head coach of the men and women’s club soccer 

program at the University of Houston. He was also involved as a coach 

with the South Texas Olympic Development Program and was the Director 

of Player Development and Coaching with the Alliance Soccer Program. 

Holguin remains involved with the Olympic Development Program 

in West Virginia. He was also the Director of Player Development and 

Coaching for the River Valley Soccer Club from 1999-2003. Holguin 

returned to the role in 2008. 

Holguin, who lives in Marietta, earned a master’s degree in Education 

from Marietta College in 2008. 

Assistant Coach 

Stephen rose 

Stephen Rose begins his 

fifth year as an assistant 

coach for the men and 

women’s soccer programs 

at Marietta College in 2009. It is his 

third as a full-time member of the 

department. Rose also assists in 

the sports information office. 

A graduate of Marietta High 

School, Rose returned to his 

hometown after attending Walsh 

University where he received 

his undergraduate degree in 

Communications. He was a fouryear 

starter for the Cavaliers and 

garnered All-American Mideast Conference (AMC) honors twice. Rose 

also played basketball at Walsh for one season. 

In addition to his collegiate playing experience, Rose was also a 

successful player with the local River Valley Soccer Club. Considering his 

club coach was Patrick Holguin, Rose feels right at home on the Marietta 

College soccer coaching staff. 

Rose earned his National Soccer Coaches Association of America 

(NSCAA) Advanced National Diploma in the summer of 2009. Rose also 

completed his NSCAA National Diploma in 2008 and his United States 

Soccer Federation (USSF) “D” license in 2006. He remains active with the 

River Valley Soccer Club, where he coached the U-17 Boys team to State 

Championship and a Region I appearance in 2009. Rose also coordinates 

all of the local youth soccer tournaments and camps at Marietta College. 

Rose, who lives in Marietta, completed his Master of Arts in Liberal 

Learning in the spring of 2007.

Jen Simonetti 

Jen Simonetti begins her 

first season as an assistant 

coach with the men’s and 

women’s soccer programs 

in 2009. 

Simonetti brings an 

experienced coaching background 

to Marietta. She spent the last 

three years as an assistant with 

the Waynesville High School 

boy’s soccer team. While with the 

Spartans, Simonetti was named 

the Miami Valley Assistant Coach 

of the Year in 2007. Simonetti also 

served as the girl’s Varsity Track 

and Field Coach at Waynesville from 2006-2009. Before Waynesville, she 

was the assistant for the girl’s soccer team at Bellbrook High School. 

In addition to her time at Waynesville and Bellbrook, Simonetti 

coached the Metro FC in Kettering, Ohio. She also worked as a camp 

clinician with Ohio Premier North in Euclid, Ohio, as well as other teams in 

the area around Dayton, Ohio. 

Simonetti, who earned a Bachelor of Science in Pre-Physical Therapy 

and Exercise Science from the University Dayton in 2005, also enters the 

collegiate coaching ranks with a solid playing resume. She was a fouryear 

starter for Dayton from 2001-04. The defender/center midfielder 

helped the Flyers win four Atlantic 10 Regular Season titles and three A-10 

Tournament Championships during her time on the field. As a freshman, 

Simonetti earned All-Atlantic 10 and All-Great Lakes Region honors as 

Dayton made the NCAA Sweet 16. She repeated All-Atlantic 10 honors 

as a sophomore and earned both awards again as a senior when she was 

also named the A-10 Defensive Player of the Year. In addition, the National 

Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and SoccerBuzz both 

voted Simonetti an All-America selection in 2004. 

Simonetti started as an outside defender for the Cincinnati LadyHawks 

of the United States Women’s Soccer League in 2003. In 2008, she also 

participated in the USASA Elite Player Program in San Bernardino, Calif. 

Because of her play, Simonetti was offered a spot on the women’s national 

team. 

Simonetti lives in Marietta.

Ohio Athletic 

Conference 

D-III’s Best Conference 

The 2008-09 year proved, once again, why the OAC is one of the 

most prestigious Division III conferences in the country. The Mount 

Union football team won its 10th national title. The Ohio Northern 

volleyball team made its ninth straight NCAA Tournament appearance 

and the program recorded its 32nd straight winning season. The 

Heidelberg volleyball team made its second straight appearance in the NCAA 

Regional Semifinals. 

Ohio Northern softball made its first NCAA Championship appearance. 

Heidelberg wrestling qualified a program best six student-athletes the NCAA 

Tournament. The John Carroll and Capital men’s basketball teams advanced 

to the NCAA Sweet 16. The Otterbein women’s golf team placed fifth, while the 

Otterbein men placed 13th at the NCAA Championship. Mount Union men’s 

tennis advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. In addition, 

Ohio Northern’s Jimmy O’Brien claimed the indoor 800-meter run title. Individually, 

the Conference was represented by over 50 All-America selections. 

Academically, the OAC boasted numerous CoSIDA ESPN the Magazine Academic 

All-Americans, along with regional and national coaching honors. 

The Ohio Athletic Conference, the third oldest conference in college 

athletics, is predated only by the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association 

(1888) and the Big Ten (1895). The Conference is older than the World Series 

and even the NCAA itself and has 

survived two world wars, the Great 

Depression, the Korean War and 

the Vietnam Conflict. From a 

modest beginning of six charter 

members in 1902, the OAC grew 

to as many as 24 members in the 

mid-1920s. 

Through the years, a total of 

31 colleges and universities at one time or another have been members of the 

OAC. Currently the Conference consists of 10 members, including Baldwin- 

Wallace College, Capital University, Heidelberg University, John Carroll University, 

Marietta College, Mount Union College, Muskingum University, Ohio 

Northern University, Otterbein College and Wilmington College. Wilmington 

became the 31st OAC member school on July 1, 2000. 

In the OAC’s first year of existence, 1902, the first Conference champion 

was crowned Case Tech won the football title with a 5-0-0 record. Outdoor 

track was added a year later and a third sport, cross country, became 

a Conference sport in 1914. More sports were steadily added to the OAC’s 

repertoire throughout the years, culminating in the addition of women’s sports 

in 1984. The Conference currently sponsors championships in 21 sports, 11 

men’s and 10 women’s. 

The enrollments at the 10 OAC institutions range from 1,200 to 4,500. All 

of the schools were founded in the 19th century and have long and outstanding 

academic reputations. While maintaining these high academic standards, 

Ohio Athletic Conference athletic teams and athletes have consistently enjoyed 

a great deal of success on a regional and national level. The athletic 

competition is viewed not as an end in itself, but as an extension of the educational 

programs.

Marietta Field 

Patrick Holguin’s vision of having one of the nicest natural grass 

soccer facilities in the region is now a reality. Marietta Field, the 

long-time home of Marietta College soccer, underwent the final 

phase of its evolution in the summer of 2008. The construction 

of a press box and storage facility completed the dream of the 12th-year 

head soccer coach. 

“Marietta College soccer is blessed to have one of the finest, natural 

grass soccer complexes around,” Holguin said. “The beautiful facility would 

not be possible without the tremendous financial support of the Parents 

Campaign and those that gave through the Pioneer Club.” 

The Parents Campaign for the Field Project, led by Bob and Nancy 

Gessner, was formed in 2004 to secure funding for the initial improvements 

to the soccer field on the south end of campus. Remaining money from that 

project, as well as additional funds raised by the Pioneer Club, allowed for 

the addition of the press box. 

The facility underwent a complete renovation before the 2005 season. 

The College installed a new natural-grass, laser-leveled playing surface 

with a state-of-the-art draining and sprinkler system, as well as bleachers 

and a walkway connecting it to the rest of campus 

The first competition on the new field was the 2005 Marietta College 

Classic, held the first weekend of September. 

Marietta 

Administration 

President, Dr. Jean A. Scott 

A new era began at Marietta College 

on July 15, 2000, when Dr. Jean A. Scott 

became the 17th President of the College. 

She is the first female president at Marietta 

College. 

Most recently, Scott was president of 

Bradford College, in Haverhill, Mass. 

Scott graduated with a major in history 

from Westhampton College at the University 

of Richmond where she was elected Phi 

Beta Kappa and earned her A.B. degree in 

1968. She then attended Harvard University 

and received her M.A. in history in 1969 and her Ph.D. in history in 1974. 

“I am very excited at the opportunity to lead the college with the rich 

traditions and bright future that Marietta enjoys,” Scott said. 

Since Scott’s arrival at Marietta the campus has grown to include 

many new buildings and facilities, enriching the educational experience 

for all of its students. 

Athletics Director, Larry Hiser 

Larry Hiser joined Marietta College 

in March of 2008. He oversees a NCAA 

Division III athletics program with 18 varsity 

sports and the College’s recreation and 

intramural programs and facilities. 

Prior to joining Marietta, Hiser was 

the Director of Athletics and Head Baseball 

Coach at Endicott College in Beverly, 

Mass., from 1995-2008. Under his watch 

the Endicott teams won 37 conference 

championships and participated in 47 

NCAA or ECAC tournaments. His baseball 

teams averaged over 20 wins per year in 13 

seasons and won five league championships and one ECAC championship. 

Endicott also successfully launched new programs for equestrian, 

lacrosse and football, while improving its facilities that now rank among 

the finest in New England. 

He earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from Ohio Northern University 

in 1987, where he was an all-conference shortstop on the Polar Bears 

baseball team. He went on to earn a Master of Science in Physical Education/Athletic 

Administration from Springfield College in Massachusetts, 

where he was a graduate assistant. He joined Endicott College in the fall 

of 1994 as the Gulls’ first baseball and basketball coach. 

The Oregon, Ohio, native is married to the former Susan Chick (of 

Williamstown, Mass.). The couple has two children, Dan, 10 and Allison, 8.
