2008 Season Outlook 

One thing you will no longer 

see at Westminster College 

is home football games 

played on natural grass at 

Harold Burry Stadium. The 58-yearold 

stadium now features new lighting, 

FieldTurf and an entrance plaza. 

According to blueprints, natural grass 

is not the only thing going the way of 

the dodo bird. The 17 returning starters, 

a poised coaching staff, and a cast of 

confident Titans are demolishing any 

thoughts of a losing season. 

It all started when head coach Jeff 

Hand took over the program in 2005. 

The team then improved from a 2-8 

season in 2006 to a 5-5 record in 2007, 

which was the program’s 51st season at 

.500 or better in the last 57 years. The 

Titans also tied for fourth in the Presidents’ 

Athletic Conference (PAC) with a 

2-4 league mark. 

Now, the Titan program will only 

accept one thing, and that is winning. 

Westminster is well equipped to do 

just that with seven returning starters 

on offense, including two-year starters 

at quarterback and tailback, and nine 

returning starters on defense, including 

a pair of all-PAC selections. 

“We expect our program to continue 

to grow with many experienced 

players coming back this year,” said 

Hand, who enters his fourth season at 

Westminster. “Our defense comes back 

almost entirely intact and the offense 

returns many key components. The

development of our young talent is vital 

to Westminster restoring its winning 

tradition.” 

Offense 

Junior quarterback Kevin Franz 

and junior tailback Nick McKolosky 

started the last two seasons, but last 

year was the first that Westminster saw 

equal potency from their passing and 

running games. Franz and McKolosky 

ranked in the top four in the PAC in 

passing yards (1,797) and rushing (980) 

yards, respectively, a year after Franz 

led the league with 2,090 passing yards 

and McKolosky was ninth in rushing at 

Chad Rosatelli (#7) and Nick McKolosky 

318 yards. 

McKolosky’s 978 rushing yards 

on 238 carries during the 2007 season 

included all of his five career 100-yard 

rushing games. 

Westminster led the PAC in time of 

possession in 2007 at 32:47 per game 

and a big part of its success was the 

balanced attack and increased productivity 

in running game. The best example 

of this was Westminster having a 

200-yard passer and a 100-yard rusher 

in the same game for three straight 

games. That never happened before in 

school history. 

Franz, who completed 172 of 260 

passes with nine interceptions and 15 

touchdowns last year, is on pace to 

becomes the school’s all-time leading 

passer as he enters the 2008 season 

ranked fifth with 3,887 yards, 1,939 

yards shy of James Graham’s record of 

5,826 from 1997-2000. 

The passing game is losing its 

two-time team MVP Brett Ziegler, who 

graduated after becoming the school’s 

all-time leading receiver with 142 receptions 

including 52 and 55 in each of the 

last two seasons. However, Franz is not 

without weapons. McKolosky caught 

29 and 36 passes out of the backfield 

the last two years. Senior wide receiver 

Jordan Belosh is a two-year starter 

who has caught at least 20 passes in 

each of the last two seasons. Junior 

tailback/wide receiver Chad Rosatelli 

saw more action in the slot and led the 

team in scoring last year with seven 

touchdowns. 

Junior Gary Hutsler and senior 

Jack Seifert rotated a tight end last 

year with Hutsler making four starts and 

2 2008 Titan Football

Seifert two. 

Another notable returning player 

is fullback Jacob Shaffer, who scored 

four touchdowns last year (three rushing, 

one receiving), while rushing 17 

times for 40 yards, mostly in short yardage 

situations. 

The offensive line may be the 

team’s biggest concern with only two 

returning starters. Sophomore Mike 

Kudelko started all 10 games at right 

guard and was named the team’s Newcomer 

of the Year. Junior Bill Altenhof 

started the final seven games at left 

guard. 

Defense 

New defensive coordinator Tom 

Watts, who called defenses for Wisconsin-Platteville 

in one of the nation’s 

toughest conferences the last four 

years, will have the luxury of having 

nine returning starters in his first year 

with the Titans. Westminster also has 

three additional players with starting 

experience making this year’s defense 

one of the deepest since Hand took 

over the program. 

First, you have second-team all- 

PAC selections in senior defensive end 

Andrew Robison and senior inside 

linebacker Jordan Blinn. Robison 

was a big reason why Westminster 

increased its sack total from eight in 

2006 to 19 in 2007 as he led the team 

with seven sacks. Blinn was the team’s 

leading tackler the last two seasons 

including 94 stops in 2007. 

Blinn, Robison and senior defensive 

tackle Matt Jaworski all enter 

the 2008 season making 20 consecutive 

starts. They are also joined by the 

experience of two-year starters Jake 

Wilczynski at free safety and senior 

Scott Brucker at outside linebacker. 

The team’s second-leading tackler, 

senior outside linebacker Jake Marti- 

Jordan Blinn 

2008 Season Outlook 

nez, made 70 stops last year in his first 

year as a starter and would be a twoyear 

starter if not for an injury in 2006. 

Junior Mario Camerota led the 

Titans with seven pass break-ups and 

two interceptions in his first year as the 

team’s starting cornerback last year. 

Also returning to the defensive backfield 

is sophomore Daniel Joyce at strong 

safety. Junior safety Jim Petrolla, junior 

inside linebacker Brad Meehan and 

senior defensive lineman Neil Falco 

also have experience starting multiple 

games and will likely see significant 

action. 

Special Teams 

Fred Romeo 

Junior Fred Romeo is back to 

handle the kicking duties. A two-year 

starter, Romeo made two out of seven 

field goal attempts, both coming in the 

13-6 win over Allegheny in the season 

opener, and his kickoffs traveled an 

average of 52.9 yards. 

Romeo will also likely punt for the 

Titans with three-time, first-team all- 

PAC punter Dusty Rhodes graduating 

last year. 

The punt and kick returner will likely 

be junior Jon Gubish, who made 22 

kick returns and 19 punt returns in 2007 

for averages of 19.0 and 7.4 yards, 

respectively. Rosatelli and McKolosky 

are also potential return men.

Head Coach 

Jeff Hand 

During nine 

years as a Division 

III head football 

coach, Jeff Hand 

has developed a 

knack for building 

programs and 

returning traditionrich 

programs 

back to their high 

standards of success. 

Entering his 

fourth year as the 

Westminster head coach in 2008, Hand 

is charting a course that is predicated 

on the storied history of Titan football as 

well as his success at prior schools. 

A native of nearby Ellwood City, 

Pa., Hand returned to his childhood 

roots and became the 32nd head football 

coach in the history of Westminster 

College on May 6, 2005. Hand succeeded 

Jerry Schmitt, who left Westminster 

after five seasons to coach 

Division I-AA Duquesne University. 

Hand is looking to follow in the 

footsteps of a lineage of successful 

Westminster coaches that includes 

Gene Nicholson (1991-98) and College 

Football Hall of Fame inductees Dr. 

Harold Burry (1952-71) and Dr. Joseph 

B. Fusco (1972-90). Collectively, they 

guided the Titans to an unprecedented 

six NAIA Division II national championships 

(1970, ’76-77, ’88-89, ’94) and 

11 undefeated regular seasons prior to 

joining the NCAA in 1998. 

After losing seasons in Hand’s 

first two years (4-6 in 2005, 2-8 in 

The Hand File 

2006), the 2007 team posted a record 

of 5-5 and showed the type of marked 

improvement that signifies Hand’s new 

system is taking its course. 

Prior to his hiring at Westminster, 

Hand coached Waynesburg College 

(2001-04) to consecutive postseason 

appearances just two years after his 

arrival. After a 3-7 record his first year 

at Waynesburg in 2001, Hand’s charges 

were able to win the school’s first 

outright Presidents’ Athletic Conference 

(PAC) and first berth in the NCAA 

Division III playoffs with a 9-1 regular 

season record in 2003. 

The second nine-win season 

in school history, which ended with 

a 28-24 loss at Bridgewater (Va.) in 

the opening round, warranted Hand’s 

plaudits as PAC and NCAA Division III

Jeff Hand 

Region II Coach of the Year. 

A year later in 2004, Hand took 

Waynesburg to the ECAC Division 

III Southeast Bowl after a 7-3 regular 

season. 

Overall, Hand amassed a fourseason 

24-17 record at Waynesburg. 

The 2003-04 campaigns marked the 

first consecutive seven-win seasons at 

Waynesburg since the school’s golden 

age that included and followed its 1966 

national championship team. 

Prior to taking the Waynesburg position, 

Hand served two years as head 

coach at Benedictine (Ill.) University, 

posting a 13-7 mark (6-4 in 1999, 7-3 in 

2000). It marked the first time the Eagles 

had posted back-to-back winning 

seasons since the 1988-89 campaigns. 

Hand coached three All-Americans during 

his two seasons at Benedictine. 

Overall, Hand boasts a 48-43 

(.527) record in nine seasons as a head 

coach, including five winning seasons 

and three seasons with seven or more 

wins. 

As an assistant coach, Hand began 

his career as defensive line coach at 

Waynesburg in 1992. He then moved to 

Hanover (Ind.) College where he served 

as defensive line coach (1993-94) 

and linebackers coach/special teams 

coordinator and recruiting coordinator 

(1994-97). While at Hanover, he helped 

guide the Panthers to three conference 

championships and a pair of undefeated 

regular season records (10-0 in both 

1995 and 1997), while his defensive 

and special teams units were both 


nationally-ranked. 

He was named defensive coordinator 

at Benedictine in 1998, leading the 

Eagle defense to a national ranking 

as high as fifth in the country during 

the season, before being named head 

coach the following season. 

One consistent trait of Hand’s 

teams has been strong academic 

achievement. His teams at Benedictine 

earned a cumulative 3.1 team gradepoint 

average. The current Westminster 

team is on its way to meeting those 

same standards as the team’s cumulative 

GPA is 2.85. At Waynesburg, his 

teams have produced 34 PAC Academic 

Honor Roll (3.6 GPA or higher during 

semester of competition) members 

during the last four seasons, including 

a conference-high 10 honorees in 

2004. In his three years at Westminster, 

his team produced 11 PAC Academic 

Honor Roll members and two Academic 

All-District selections (Adam Hadbavny 

in 2005 and Nick McKolosky in 2007). 

Hand was also responsible for the 

implementation and coordination of the 

Study Zone at each of the institutions. 

A 1992 graduate of Clarion University, 

Hand earned a master’s degree at 

Indiana University Southeast in 2000. 

He comes from a family of coaches, 

joining older brothers Bill (former head 

coach at Riverside HS) and Nick (defensive 

line coach at North Hills HS). 

Dwayne Pavkovich 

Co-Offensive Coordinator / Quarterbacks / Recruiting Coordinator 

Dwayne 

Pavkovich enters 

his fourth season 

at Westminster in 

2008, his second 

season as cooffensivecoordinator 

and his fourth 

overall as offensive 

coordinator and 

quarterbacks 

coach. 

Pavkovich has coached six allconference 

players, including Brett 

Ziegler, the school’s all-time leading 

receiver. Quarterback Kevin Franz is 

also on pace to become the school’s 

all-time leading passer. 

A 2002 graduate of Hiram College 

with a degree in elementary education, 

Pavkovich worked as the recruiting 

coordinator at his alma mater in 2002 

and as offensive coordinator in 2003. 

Pavkovich coached three all-conference 

players at Hiram and six offensive 

records were established, including his 

The Pavkovich File 

first season when the team set records 

with 2,172 passing yards, 186 completions 

and 392 pass attempts. 

After a head-coaching change 

at Hiram in 2004, Pavkovich spent 

a successful year in the high school 

ranks with Jack Britt High School in 

Fayetteville, N.C., prior to landing the 

job at Westminster in 2005. As offensive 

coordinator, Pavkovich guided Jack Britt 

to an appearance in the state championships 

game, and along the way his 

team broke 12 offensive records. His 

team produced five players who went 

on to earn scholarships in college, 

including one player to the all-region 

team. 

Pavkovich was a four-year starter 

(1998-2001) at quarterback at Hiram, 

serving as team offensive captain as a 

junior and senior. Pavkovich, who set 

the freshman and sophomore passing 

records, still holds the overall record for 

pass attempts in a season with 318 as 

a sophomore in 1999. 

He is a native of Poland, Ohio, and 

a 1997 graduate of Poland Seminary 

High School.

Home games IN CAPS 

The Westminster College football team took another step in restoring its 

winning tradition in 2007. Westminster improved by three games from its 

previous record and posted a 5-5 mark for its first non-losing season since 

2004 and the program’s 51st season at .500 or better in the last 57 years. 

Westminster won three of its first four games for the first time since 2000, 

and fielded a defense that ranked seventh in the nation through four games. The 

Titans, with a 2-4 conference record, finished in a three-way tie for fourth place in 

the Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC), after tying for sixth last year and being 

picked last in this year’s preseason poll. 

While the Titans were mostly comprised of underclassmen in their lineup, a 

pair of seniors garnered first-team all-PAC accolades in wide receiver Brett Ziegler 

and punter Dusty Rhodes. 

Ziegler ranked fifth in the league with 5.2 receptions and 69.6 receiving yards 

per game. He caught 52 passes for 696 yards and six touchdowns, while becoming 

the school’s all-time career receptions leader with 142 catches. Rhodes led the 

PAC with a school-record season punting average of 39.6 yards. 

Sophomore quarterback Kevin Franz and sophomore tailback Nick McKolosky 

ranked in the top four in the PAC in passing (1,797) and rushing (980) yards, 

respectively, while sophomore linebacker Jordan Blinn spearheaded the defense 

with 79 tackles.

Team History 

Now entering its 113th 

season of competition, 

the Westminster Titan 

football program has a 

history and tradition unparalleled in the 

annals of small college football. With six 

national championships and more than 

500 victories, the “Titan Tradition” of 

gridiron excellence is known throughout 

the nation. 

Westminster’s football history is 

unusual in another respect, in that 

rarely has a program been so easily 

divided into different eras. For Titan 

fans, the line of demarcation is clear: 

1952, the year Dr. Harold Burry took 

over the reins as head football coach at 

Westminster. According to former Titan 

defensive coordinator Darwin Huey, 

“From that date forward, that field and 

its football team have never been the 

same.” 

Following are histories of the four 

major eras of Titan football: 

Program Origins 

1891-1951 

Westminster had long held that 

its first season of football was 1892. 

However, in research for his book on 

Westminster football, Winning, the late 

author Dr. William McTaggart made a 

contrary discovery. According to a 1911 

edition of the Holcad, Westminster’s 

student newspaper, “Football was first 

taken up as a college sport in the fall 

of 1891. Mr. M.D. McNab of Chicago 

entered school that year and had 

some knowledge of the game. A team 

was organized and the first game was 

played with Geneva ... The score was 

42-0 in favor of Geneva … Those who 

saw the game decided that football was 

the ‘most stupidest’ game ever seen.” 

Over the next 60 years, little of 

what took place on the field would 

change that first opinion of the sport on 

campus. During that span, at least 23 

different head coaches led Westminster 

to an overall mark of 172-244-44, 

an average of less than three wins per 

season. There were several positive 

seasons of note: a 9-2 mark under 

Coach Lang in 1905, with Westminster 

outscoring its opponents 309-32; a 

21-6-1 mark under Coach McMahon 

from 1906-08; and an 11-4-1 mark 

under Coach Tinkham from 1913-14. 

From that point on, however, Westminster 

would manage just four winning 

season records over the next 36 years. 

The early days 

did provide some 

famous names 

leading the Blue 

& White. Coaching 

Westminster 

from 1915-16 and 

in the 1918 and 

1921 seasons was 

DeOrmand “Tuss” 

McLaughry McLaughry. 

Despite posting 

just a 7-17-2 coaching mark in those 

four seasons, McLaughry went on to 

a stellar coaching career at Amherst, 

Brown and Dartmouth and later became 

an influential member of the American 

Football Coaches Association (AFCA). 

Beginning in 1964 through today, the 

AFCA annually presents the Tuss 

McLaughry Award to members for the 

highest service to others. Future Titan 

basketball mentors John Lawther and 

Grover Washabaugh also saw time as 

head football coaches at Westminster 

during this era. 

After six decades of futility, in 1952 

a new head coach appeared that would 

change the face of Titan football forever. 

The Burry Era 1952-71 

According to Huey, in an article 

written following Harold Burry’s death in 

1992, “The Titan Tradition dates its birth 

from a hot August day in 1952 when 

Harold E. Burry first ran onto the field 

as head coach of the football Titans. In 

the 100+ years of Titan football, there 

has been no more 

important day.” Dr. 

Harold Burry, a 

New Castle native 

and 1935 Westminster 

graduate, 

would go on to 

lead Titan football 

to previously unthinkable 

heights. 

Burry 

From 1952-71, 

Burry compiled 

a head coaching 

record of 127-31-5 (.794). 

Coach Burry never knew a losing 

season in football in his 20 years 

at Westminster, while his Titan gridders 

posted six undefeated seasons. 

His teams posted 8-0 regular season 

records in 1953, 1956, 1964, 1970 

and 1971 and a 6-0-1 mark in 1955. 

The 1970 record, when Westminster 

captured the inaugural NAIA Division 

II National Championship, was 10-0 

overall, including two playoff wins. His 

1971 record, where the Titans finished 

as national runner-up in NAIA Division 

II, was 8-1-1. 

His teams were both offensive- and 

defensive-minded. The Titans scored 

3,613 points in 163 games under Burry, 

an average of over 22 points per game, 

while allowing just 1,591 points in that 

time (9.76 ppg allowed). Burry’s top 

offensive team came in 1956, as the Titans 

outscored their opponents 344-51 

en route to an unbeaten record. His 

top defensive teams were in 1953 and 

1954, each allowing just 33 points in an 

entire season. 

Twice Burry led the Titans to 

24-game unbeaten streaks. The first occurred 

from 1954-57 (23-0-1), followed 

by another from 1969-71 (23-0-1). 

Burry’s teams also never lost a homecoming 

game and lost only 14 times 

on “Titan Turf” at Memorial Field in 20 

years. Westminster’s reputation as a 

defensive giant was growing, as the 

Titans posted 41 shutouts in Burry’s 

tenure. 

Westminster captured Tri-State 

Football Championships in 1955 and 

’56. In an 11-year span as a member of 

the West Penn Conference (1958-68), 

the Titans won or shared eight conference 

titles, including their first six years 

as a league member from 1958-63. 

At the conclusion of his stellar 

career, Burry was recognized as one of 

the finest coaches in the land. In 1967, 

he was voted Small College Football 

Coach of the Year by the Football Writers 

of America (FWA), and was also 

selected to the NAIA Hall of Fame. In 

1996, he would be further honored 

when he was one of just four coaches 

elected to the inaugural divisional (non- 

NCAA Division I) class of the College 

Football Hall of Fame. Burry was also 

honored by Westminster that same 

year, as the entire football stadium 

complex was renamed “Harold Burry 

Stadium.” 

Burry retired as head football coach 

following the 1971 season, remaining 

as athletic director at Westminster. 

Replacing him on the sidelines was 

the Titan offensive line coach, a former 

Westminster offensive lineman whose 

pugnacious style would serve him well 

as he carved his own distinct niche of 

success into Titan football history. 


Why The Titans? 

The athletic symbol for all Westminster athletic teams is the Titan. This nickname 

was coined by Irving L. “Bud” Mansell to describe the 1926 basketball 

team in the Holcad, the school newspaper. Coach John Lawther took a 

calculated risk and benched seven returning lettermen to build a young team 

around a new system. Using tall men and the new zone defense, he turned 

out the best team Westminster had put on the floor in several years, posting a 

10-5 record and tying for second place in the conference. The tall players on 

that team were the original “Towering Titans.” 

The Fusco Era 1972-90 

Few men could have matched 

Burry’s record of excellence. Fewer still 

could have taken that legacy and improved 

upon it. Over the next 19 years, 

Dr. Joseph B. Fusco did just that. 

Fusco led the Titans to a 154-34-3 

(.814) record from 1972-90, leading the 

Titans to four more NAIA Division II NationalChampionships 

in 1976, ’77, 

’88 and ’89. When 

he stepped down 

following the 1990 

season, his career 

winning percentage 

was the second 

highest among all 

active NAIA football 

coaches with more 

Fusco 

than 10 years of 

experience. 

A 1960 West- 

minster alum, Fusco began his coaching 

career at nearby Wilmington and 

Grove City high schools before joining 

Burry’s staff as offensive line coach in 

1968. After serving as an assistant over 

the next four years, helping the Titans 

to the ’70 national crown, he began 

a head coaching career that included 

nine NAIA national playoff appearances 

and 15 NAIA Division II Top 20 finishes. 

However, it was the national championship 

years that left Fusco an undeniable 

legacy of success. 

Fusco led Westminster to a 21-1 

record while capturing the 1976 and 

1977 NAIA Division II national titles. 

His 1977 team finished 11-0 (Fusco’s 

first undefeated team) and also won the 

Lambert Bowl trophy as the top small 

college team in the Eastern United 

States. Fusco again led Westminster 

to back-to-back titles in 1988 (14-0) 

and 1989 (13-0), compiling a 27-game 

winning streak that, at the time, was the 

longest win streak of any college team 

in the nation at any level. 

The 1988 championship is the most 

vivid in the memories of Titan fans. 

Nobody who was at Memorial Field that 

cold, snowy December day will forget 

Joe Micchia’s 33-yard scoring strike to 

Dave Foley on 4th-and-10 with just seconds 

to play, breaking a 14-14 tie and 

giving the Titans a 21-14 championship 

win. Westminster made it back to the 

NAIA title game for an unprecedented 

third consecutive time in 1990, only to 

fall to Peru State in the championship in 

Fusco’s final game as Titan head coach. 

Like Burry, Fusco was showered 

with awards throughout his career. He 

was named 1988 NAIA National Coach 

of the Year, while earning NAIA District/ 

Area Coach of the Year honors on 

seven occasions. In 1994, Fusco joined 

Burry in the NAIA Hall of Fame. He 

joined Burry in the College Football Hall 

of Fame Class of 2001. 

Following his coaching retirement, 

the coaching position was passed on 

like a treasured heirloom to the next 

Titan mentor, who continued to improve 

and strengthen the Titan Tradition 

throughout the decade of the 1990s. 

The Nicholson Era 

1991-99 

There is one coach in the history 

of Titan football who was a member of 

the coaching staff on all six of Westminster’s 

national championship teams. 

Gene Nicholson, who recently retired 

from football coaching after more than 

30 years on the Titan football staff, is 

the one person who can make that 

claim. 

After beginning his coaching 

career at Wilmington High School, the 

1964 Slippery Rock graduate joined 

Burry’s staff as defensive coordinator in 

1969. In that position over the next 22 

years, serving both Burry and Fusco, 

Nicholson helped to mold one of the 

premier defensive units in the country. 

He coached 23 All-Americans from 

1969-90, including 16 First Team selec- 

tions, as Westminster defenses gave 

up an average of only 10.6 points, 94.6 

rushing yards and 132.9 passing yards 

per game. In 1990, the Titan defense 

cracked the national Top 10 in all four 

national defensive categories for the 

first time in school history. 

Nicholson then replaced Fusco as 

head coach in 1991. The tradition of 

excellence at Westminster continued 

during his eight-year span leading the 

program. 

In 1992, Nicholson led the program 

to its 11th undefeated regular season in 

school history. After reaching the NAIA 

title game in 1993, Westminster capped 

its 100th season with a 12-2 record and 

an NAIA-record 

sixth national 

title in 1994. The 

1994 title gave 

the Titans national 

crowns in each of 

the past three decades. 

Nicholson 

is believed to have 

coached in more 

Nicholson 

Team History 

national championship 

games (nine) 

than any coach at 

any level in college football history. 

For his efforts, the 1994 inductee 

into the Towering Titan Hall of Fame 

was selected as 1994 NAIA/Rawlings 

Division II National Coach of the Year, 

while earning the same honor from 

American Football Quarterly. He was 

also selected as Coach of the Year in 

the Tri-State area by the Tri-State Football 

Officials Association. 

NCAA Division III Era 

2000-present 

The Titan football program began 

its fifth era in 2000 by entering the 

Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) 

under the direction of new head coach 

Jerry Schmitt. The College took the 

next step in 2002, the program’s first as 

a full member of NCAA Division III. Jeff 

Hand replaced Schmitt (28-21 in five 

years) as head coach prior to the 2005 

season. 

If the lessons for the future can be 

learned in the past, as many historians 

say, the next era will continue the tradition 

of excellence, both on the gridiron 

and in the classroom, that has been 

the hallmark of the Westminster Titan 

football program. 


National Champions 

Westminster has won an unprecedented six 

NAIA National Championships in football 

during its glorious history. Here is a look 

back at each of those championship games: 

Westminster ...................21 

Anderson ........................16 

Dec. 5, 1970 – New Castle, PA 

At a cold Taggart Stadium in New Castle in 

front of 5,000 people, Westminster battled 

Anderson College from Indiana in the 

inaugural NAIA Division II National Championship 

game. The Titans scored first for 

a 7-0 lead after one quarter, and looked to 

be in control with two second-quarter scores 

and a 21-0 halftime lead. But the Ravens did 

not surrender. Anderson scored twice in the 

final quarter, but the Titan defense held fast. 

Quarterback Dave Bierbach was voted the 

game’s outstanding back, as he passed for 

two scores. The squad closed the season 

undefeated for coach Harold Burry. 


Redlands ........................13 

Dec. 4, 1976 – Redlands, CA 

After defeating top-ranked Texas Lutheran 

31-0 in a national semifinal the previous 

weekend, the 9-1 Titans faced Redlands 

(10-1). The Titans scored first off a Jan Budai 

pass to Dave Hasson for a 7-0 lead. A pair 

of Redlands field goals left the Titans with 

a 7-6 lead at the half. Westminster scored 

first in the second half, but tension mounted 

after Redlands tied the game at 13-13. In the 

fourth Westminster would prevail after Budai 

scored on a three-yard rush to give the 

squad a 20-13 lead. As the clock ran out, the 

Titans were named national champions for 

the first time under coach Joe Fusco. 


California Lutheran ...........9 

Dec. 3, 1977 – Thousand Oaks, CA 

Crowned with the Lambert Bowl trophy as 

the top small college football team in the 

East two days earlier, the Titans took to 

the field to battle powerhouse California 

Lutheran. Down 9-0 and without quarterback 

Steve Kraus, who had left the game in the 

third, Westminster rallied with 17 unanswered 

points for their second straight national 

crown. Titan reserve Frank Rondinelli 

hit Bill Stiger with a 59-yard touchdown pass 

in the third quarter to cut into the lead. Walt 

Siemenski added a field goal in the fourth 

to give the Titans their first lead at 10-9. 

Rondinelli, named Offensive Player of the 

Game, then raced 36 yards for the final 

score after a fourth-down gamble by the 

Kingsmen failed to convert. All-American 

Frank Emanuele was named Outstanding 

Defensive Player of the Game. 

Westminster ......................21 

Wisconsin-LaCrosse ..........14 

Dec. 17, 1988 – New Wilmington, PA 

With seven seconds remaining in a 14-14 tie, 

the unexpected became a reality. Shocking 

all in attendance, Dave Foley caught a 

33-yard over-the-shoulder pass from QB Joe 

Micchia for the miracle win. Micchia, despite 

nursing the flu, was voted Offensive MVP. 

With 21 seconds remaining in the first half, 

Micchia threw a 17-yard TD pass to Foley to 

tie the game at 7-all. When the Indians acquired 

a 14-7 lead, the Titans rebounded to 

score on a 63-yard drive to tie the game with 

5:11 left. The last-minute heroics of Foley 

and Micchia negated what appeared to be 

a dual championship for the two squads. Attendees 

of the Miracle on Ice saw the Titans 

win their fourth national championship.

Westminster ......................51 

Wisconsin-LaCrosse ..........30 

Dec. 16, 1989 – Canton, OH 

On a snow-covered and frigid Fawcett Field 

with a minus-16 degree wind chill, the 12-0 

Titans traveled to defend the national title 

in the shadows of the Pro Football Hall 

of Fame. The squad was led by Kodak 

All-American quarterback Joe Micchia, the 

game’s Offensive MVP. With strained ligaments 

in his right thumb, Micchia used the 

shotgun offense for the first time. Wisconsin- 

LaCrosse took a 14-0 lead early and a 17-14 

halftime advantage. In the second half, the 

Titans scored first for a 20-17 lead and never 

looked back. Defensive MVP Louis Berry 

posted two fumble recoveries, setting up two 

of four second-half touchdowns for Micchia, 

who completed 18-of-33 passes. With little 

time remaining, Berry intercepted a two-point 

conversion pass, returning it 100 yards to 

add the final two points. 


Pacific Lutheran ...............7 

Dec. 17, 1994 – Portland, OR 

In a rematch of the1993 NAIA Division II 

National Championship (won 50-20 by PLU), 

the Titans avenged the loss by routing the 

Lutes 27-7 to win an unprecedented sixth 

NAIA national title. Across the country in 

Portland, Ore., a crowd of 4,357 saw the Titans 

build a 14-7 lead heading into halftime. 

First-half play included two touchdowns by 

junior Tim McNeil, the game’s Most Valuable 

Offensive Player. The Lutes were held scoreless 

until 1:10 remained, when they scored 

their only touchdown of the game. Secondhalf 

play included two interceptions, both 

leading to Titan touchdowns, including NAIA 

All-American Andy Blatt’s seven-yard rush up 

the right side to seal the victory.

Founded in 1955, the Presidents’ Athletic Conference continues 

its mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics and 

the pursuit of academic excellence. 

Comprised of 10 select private colleges - Bethany College, 

Chatham University, Geneva College, Grove City College, Saint 

Vincent College, Thiel College, Thomas More College, Washington 

and Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and Westminster 

College - the PAC remains a unique organization in this day of high 

pressure intercollegiate athletics. With academics at the center of 

each member’s philosophy, the PAC is built on the principle that an 

athletic program is a part of college life, but not an entity in itself. 

The PAC expanded to seven members in 2005 with the addition 

of Thomas More, formerly an NCAA Division III independent. Saint 

Vincent College, a former NAIA member, joined the conference 

as it began provisional membership status in NCAA Division III in 

2006-07. Another former NAIA member, Geneva College, became 

the conference’s ninth member and began league play as it started 

NCAA Division III provisional membership in 2007-08. Chatham College 

became the league’s 10th member, also in 2007-08. 

The PAC annually crowns champions in 19 sports. In 2007-08, 

the conference had 35 teams represent the conference in postseason 

play, including 19 in NCAA Championship events. PAC championship 

teams receive automatic qualification (AQ) status for most NCAA 

Division III national championship events. 

All-conference status is awarded in all 19 sports. Head coaches 

select all-league squads for all team sports, while in individual sports 

such as cross country and tennis, all-PAC accolades are based upon 

Presidents’ Athletic Conference 

performances at the conference championships. 

The PAC annually awards its men’s and women’s All-Sports 

Trophies to the schools which perform best across the board in 

PAC competition. The Washington & Jefferson College men and 

Westminster College women captured the 2007-08 trophies. 

True to its mission, the PAC has produced numerous Academic 

All-Americans and NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Last 

year, the league named a record 660 student-athletes to the PAC 

Academic Honor Roll, which recognizes all participating athletes who 

attain a term grade-point average of 3.60 or above.

Westminster College football players actively serve on community 

service projects. The Titans focus on three areas: 1.) the campus 

community, 2.) the local community, and 3.) the extended community. 

Players take time out of their busy practice schedule during the preseason 

to assist first-year students move into their dormitories. They 

also help beautify the immediate New Wilmington community with the 

Adopt-A-Highway/Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful program and branch 

out to the Youngstown, Ohio, area with the Habitat for Humanity 

Mahoning County Chapter.

The Towering Titan Organization (TTO) 

Providing support for Westminster’s athletic programs is the Towering Titan Organization (TTO), formed in 1976 around a core 

of devoted, loyal and intensely interested alumni, parents and friends. The organization purposes itself to help maintain, improve and 

endow Westminster College’s athletic programs. 

Over $2.6 million in gifts have been contributed to the Towering Titan Fund since its inception. 

The annual income is distributed in this manner: 90 percent of all donations go directly to the sport(s) chosen (donations can be 

designated to a specific sport for men or women), with 10 percent going towards the operation and promotion of the fund. All 20 varsity 

sports for men and women benefit from the fund. 

A minimum gift of $30 qualifies a donor for membership. Members receive a membership card and decal, issues of the Towering 

Titan Newsletter and invitations to social events such as golf outings each July, and recognition dinners and ceremonies that are scheduled 

periodically. Qualifying gifts are also recognized through membership in Westminster’s Giving Clubs. For more information or to 

join the Towering Titans, contact Westminster Director of Athletics Jim Dafler at (724) 946-7313.

Athletics Facilities 

One of the benefits 

enjoyed by Westminster 

student-athletes is 

access to outstanding 

athletic facilities on campus. These 

facilities provide Titan athletes with a 

competitive edge as they prepare for 

each season: 

Memorial Field House Entrance 

Memorial Field House 

The main athletic facility on campus, 

Memorial Field House sits adjacent 

to Brittain Lake and is a memorial to 

Westminster men who served and died 

in World Wars I & II. Built in 1950, it has 

endured its third renovation, with the 

new Thomas V. Mansell Educational 

Wing being added during 1999. The 

new wing features an expanded lobby 

area, new offices, a hospitality room 

with kitchen, and a pair of technologically-enhanced 

“smart classrooms.” 

Work on the James F. Edwards Education 

Wing on the east side of the Field 

House was completed in the fall of 

2001. The Edwards Wing features five 

new locker rooms, a large visiting team 

area that can be subdivided, three staff 

locker rooms, a restroom, and a lobby. 

Memorial Field House also features 

the following areas: 

Buzz Ridl Gymnasium - Home 

to the Westminster basketball and volleyball 

programs, the main gymnasium 

seats 2,300 fans for varsity sporting 

events. The gym’s main floor was refinished 

and repainted in the summer of 

2007. An auxiliary gym is directly adjacent 

to the main gym to allow flexibility 

in scheduling for all teams and includes 

indoor batting cages for baseball and 

softball. The gym was dedicated in 

honor of the late C.G. “Buzz” Ridl, former 

men’s basketball coach and athletic 

director, in 1996. 

Westminster Natatorium - The 

Titan swim teams compete in the 

Westminster Natatorium, which is also 

available to the campus community for 

leisure swimming. Completed as an 

addition to the Field House in 1975, 

the Natatorium features a six-lane pool 

with electronic timers and a spectator 

gallery. 

Physical Fitness Center - Completed 

in 1994, the fitness center 

provides all students, including varsity 

athletes, with a state-of-the-art weight 

and fitness training facility. The center 

features a large free weight section, as 

well as over 40 pieces of selectorized 

and aerobic equipment. 

The Field House also features an 

advanced training room for varsity athletes, 

two racquetball courts, as well as 

complete locker and shower facilities. 

Burry Stadium 

The home of the Titan football team 

since 1950, Memorial Field has been 

the site of some of the top small college 

football to be played over the past 50 

years, including the 1988 NAIA Division 

II National Championship game. The 

stadium underwent major renovations in 

2008 with the addition of lighting, artificial 

turf and a new entrance plaza. 

The new lighting and artificial turf 

allows flexibility in practice and game 

scheduling, most notably the Titan soccer 

team playing its first night games on 

the surface in 2008. 

Field House Fitness Center 

A new track was installed in 2001 

and a new press box and refurbished 

main seating areas were added in 

1997. 

Following the renovation in 1997, 

the football complex was dedicated in 

honor of former Westminster football 

coach and athletic director Dr. Harold 

Burry, who was inducted posthumously 

into the College Football Hall of Fame 

in 1996. 

Old 77 

Marjorie A. Walker Center 

The long-time home of Titan basketball 

dating back almost 100 years, 

Old 77 gymnasium has been renovated 

to serve as an intramural and varsity 

practice gymnasium. The facility, which 

features an indoor running track, is 

named in honor of the Titan men’s basketball 

team, which won 77 consecutive 

home games there over a 10-year 

span before moving to Memorial Field 

House in 1951. In 2003, the Marjorie 

A. Walker Fitness Center opened in the 

lower level of the gym, named in honor 

of the pioneering women’s coach and 

administrator who retired from the College 

in 1993. 

The College also has 10 varsity 

tennis courts, baseball and softball 

diamonds, a cross country course, and 

varsity practice/intramural fields. In 

addition, a new field for the men’s and 

women’s soccer teams opened in 2000. 


The most significant renovation 

project in the 58-year history of Memorial 

Field took place in the summer of 2008 

with the installation of synthetic FieldTurf 

and lighting as part of a $1.7 million project 

that will include the Joseph B. Fusco 

Plaza and an entrance terrace named in 

memory of the late Jerry C. Neff. 

The home of Titan football home 

games since 1950, Memorial Field was 

constructed at the same time as Memorial 

Field House. Both are named in 

honor of men from Westminster College 

who died in World Wars I & II. 

Directly adjacent to the Field House 

and sitting just north of Brittain Lake on 

the Westminster campus, the field has 

been the home of six national championship 

teams and was the site of the 1988 

NAIA Division II National Championship 

game, won by the Titans over Wisconsin- 

LaCrosse, 21-14. 

In 1997, the entire complex was 

dedicated and named in honor of the late 

Dr. Harold Burry. Burry, a 1935 Westminster 

graduate, served as head football 

coach from 1952-71 with a career record 

of 127-31-5. He was inducted into the 

inaugural divisional class of the College 

Football Hall of Fame in 1996. 

The stadium underwent a renovation 

in 1997, as a donation by Westminster 

trustee Jim Dewar and his family resulted 

in the refurbishment of the bleachers and 

construction of a new press box. Also, a 

new track was installed in 2001 through 

a gift from the Hoyt Foundation in New 

Castle. In 2005, a new scoreboard was 

installed. 

Burry Stadium seats 4,500 fans.

Succeed at Westminster College 

Westminster College has many 

distinguishing characteristics 

that position it as a leader in liberal arts 

education today: 

• Its safe 300-acre picturesque campus 

nestled in the tranquil rolling hills of 

western Pennsylvania; 

• A commitment to personal attention from 

experienced, acclaimed professors (91 

percent hold their doctorates or terminal 

degrees); 

• Unique curriculum featuring a First-Year 

Program designed to prepare students 

for a liberal arts education at Westminster 

College and continued success after 

graduation; 

• 41 majors and several pre-professional 

programs – All students have the 

opportunity to double major or 

create their own major (individual 

interdisciplinary). 

Size and fit 

The personality of Westminster College 

is friendly, lively and nurturing, but with 

a clear, dedicated focus on academic 

achievement. Enrollment is about 1,400 

– large enough to promote diversity, yet 

small enough to sustain a close sense of 

community and belonging. 

The campus is located in the small 

borough of New Wilmington, away 

from the concerns of a large urban area, 

but close enough to the cosmopolitan 

opportunities and resources of some of the 

country’s most exciting renaissance cities. 

Pittsburgh is 60 minutes south of campus 

and Cleveland is 90 minutes northwest of 

campus. 

Academic reputation 

Graduating with a degree from 

Westminster College has definite 

advantages. A quick look at the broad 

national recognition and status the College 

has received speaks for itself. Admitted 

students consistently score above the 

national average on ACT and SAT tests, 

which further supports Westminster’s 

outstanding academic stature. 

In addition to earning a strong reputation 

academically, Westminster is nationally 

ranked as an institution that fosters high 

personal values and character. Money 

magazine’s “Money Guide” has ranked 

Westminster College as one of the nation’s 

“Top Ten Liberal Arts Havens.” 



First-Year Inquiry 

A carefully sequenced set of courses taken 

a student’s first year, which are designed to 

provide an effective base for the student’s 

remaining three years at Westminster and 

will immerse the student more quickly into 

the College’s academic community. 

A major goal of the First-Year Inquiry 

Program is to build skills that will be 

useful to the student in his/her education, 

vocation, and throughout life. In each 

of the Inquiry courses, students will 

be learning and practicing four major 

sets of skills: Critical Thinking, Oral 

Communication, Writing, and Campus 

Multimedia Resources and Operations.
