2008 Season Outlook<br />
One thing you will no longer<br />
see at <strong>Westminster</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
is home football games<br />
played on natural grass at<br />
Harold Burry Stadium. The 58-yearold<br />
stadium now features new lighting,<br />
FieldTurf and an entrance plaza.<br />
According to blueprints, natural grass<br />
is not the only thing going the way of<br />
the dodo bird. The 17 returning starters,<br />
a poised coaching staff, and a cast of<br />
confident Titans are demolishing any<br />
thoughts of a losing season.<br />
It all started when head coach Jeff<br />
Hand took over the program in 2005.<br />
The team then improved from a 2-8<br />
season in 2006 to a 5-5 record in 2007,<br />
which was the program’s 51st season at<br />
.500 or better in the last 57 years. The<br />
Titans also tied for fourth in the Presidents’<br />
Athletic Conference (PAC) with a<br />
2-4 league mark.<br />
Now, the Titan program will only<br />
accept one thing, and that is winning.<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> is well equipped to do<br />
just that with seven returning starters<br />
on offense, including two-year starters<br />
at quarterback and tailback, and nine<br />
returning starters on defense, including<br />
a pair of all-PAC selections.<br />
“We expect our program to continue<br />
to grow with many experienced<br />
players coming back this year,” said<br />
Hand, who enters his fourth season at<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong>. “Our defense comes back<br />
almost entirely intact and the offense<br />
returns many key components. The<br />

development of our young talent is vital<br />
to <strong>Westminster</strong> restoring its winning<br />
tradition.”<br />
Offense<br />
Junior quarterback Kevin Franz<br />
and junior tailback Nick McKolosky<br />
started the last two seasons, but last<br />
year was the first that <strong>Westminster</strong> saw<br />
equal potency from their passing and<br />
running games. Franz and McKolosky<br />
ranked in the top four in the PAC in<br />
passing yards (1,797) and rushing (980)<br />
yards, respectively, a year after Franz<br />
led the league with 2,090 passing yards<br />
and McKolosky was ninth in rushing at<br />
Chad Rosatelli (#7) and Nick McKolosky<br />
318 yards.<br />
McKolosky’s 978 rushing yards<br />
on 238 carries during the 2007 season<br />
included all of his five career 100-yard<br />
rushing games.<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> led the PAC in time of<br />
possession in 2007 at 32:47 per game<br />
and a big part of its success was the<br />
balanced attack and increased productivity<br />
in running game. The best example<br />
of this was <strong>Westminster</strong> having a<br />
200-yard passer and a 100-yard rusher<br />
in the same game for three straight<br />
games. That never happened before in<br />
school history.<br />
Franz, who completed 172 of 260<br />
passes with nine interceptions and 15<br />
touchdowns last year, is on pace to<br />
becomes the school’s all-time leading<br />
passer as he enters the 2008 season<br />
ranked fifth with 3,887 yards, 1,939<br />
yards shy of James Graham’s record of<br />
5,826 from 1997-2000.<br />
The passing game is losing its<br />
two-time team MVP Brett Ziegler, who<br />
graduated after becoming the school’s<br />
all-time leading receiver with 142 receptions<br />
including 52 and 55 in each of the<br />
last two seasons. However, Franz is not<br />
without weapons. McKolosky caught<br />
29 and 36 passes out of the backfield<br />
the last two years. Senior wide receiver<br />
Jordan Belosh is a two-year starter<br />
who has caught at least 20 passes in<br />
each of the last two seasons. Junior<br />
tailback/wide receiver Chad Rosatelli<br />
saw more action in the slot and led the<br />
team in scoring last year with seven<br />
touchdowns.<br />
Junior Gary Hutsler and senior<br />
Jack Seifert rotated a tight end last<br />
year with Hutsler making four starts and<br />
2 2008 Titan Football
Seifert two.<br />
Another notable returning player<br />
is fullback Jacob Shaffer, who scored<br />
four touchdowns last year (three rushing,<br />
one receiving), while rushing 17<br />
times for 40 yards, mostly in short yardage<br />
situations.<br />
The offensive line may be the<br />
team’s biggest concern with only two<br />
returning starters. Sophomore Mike<br />
Kudelko started all 10 games at right<br />
guard and was named the team’s Newcomer<br />
of the Year. Junior Bill Altenhof<br />
started the final seven games at left<br />
guard.<br />
Defense<br />
New defensive coordinator Tom<br />
Watts, who called defenses for Wisconsin-Platteville<br />
in one of the nation’s<br />
toughest conferences the last four<br />
years, will have the luxury of having<br />
nine returning starters in his first year<br />
with the Titans. <strong>Westminster</strong> also has<br />
three additional players with starting<br />
experience making this year’s defense<br />
one of the deepest since Hand took<br />
over the program.<br />
First, you have second-team all-<br />
PAC selections in senior defensive end<br />
Andrew Robison and senior inside<br />
linebacker Jordan Blinn. Robison<br />
was a big reason why <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
increased its sack total from eight in<br />
2006 to 19 in 2007 as he led the team<br />
with seven sacks. Blinn was the team’s<br />
leading tackler the last two seasons<br />
including 94 stops in 2007.<br />
Blinn, Robison and senior defensive<br />
tackle Matt Jaworski all enter<br />
the 2008 season making 20 consecutive<br />
starts. They are also joined by the<br />
experience of two-year starters Jake<br />
Wilczynski at free safety and senior<br />
Scott Brucker at outside linebacker.<br />
The team’s second-leading tackler,<br />
senior outside linebacker Jake Marti-<br />
Jordan Blinn<br />
2008 Season Outlook<br />
nez, made 70 stops last year in his first<br />
year as a starter and would be a twoyear<br />
starter if not for an injury in 2006.<br />
Junior Mario Camerota led the<br />
Titans with seven pass break-ups and<br />
two interceptions in his first year as the<br />
team’s starting cornerback last year.<br />
Also returning to the defensive backfield<br />
is sophomore Daniel Joyce at strong<br />
safety. Junior safety Jim Petrolla, junior<br />
inside linebacker Brad Meehan and<br />
senior defensive lineman Neil Falco<br />
also have experience starting multiple<br />
games and will likely see significant<br />
action.<br />
Special Teams<br />
Fred Romeo<br />
Junior Fred Romeo is back to<br />
handle the kicking duties. A two-year<br />
starter, Romeo made two out of seven<br />
field goal attempts, both coming in the<br />
13-6 win over Allegheny in the season<br />
opener, and his kickoffs traveled an<br />
average of 52.9 yards.<br />
Romeo will also likely punt for the<br />
Titans with three-time, first-team all-<br />
PAC punter Dusty Rhodes graduating<br />
last year.<br />
The punt and kick returner will likely<br />
be junior Jon Gubish, who made 22<br />
kick returns and 19 punt returns in 2007<br />
for averages of 19.0 and 7.4 yards,<br />
respectively. Rosatelli and McKolosky<br />
are also potential return men.<br />

Coaching Staff<br />
Head Coach<br />
Jeff Hand<br />
During nine<br />
years as a Division<br />
III head football<br />
coach, Jeff Hand<br />
has developed a<br />
knack for building<br />
programs and<br />
returning traditionrich<br />
programs<br />
back to their high<br />
standards of success.<br />
Entering his<br />
fourth year as the<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> head coach in 2008, Hand<br />
is charting a course that is predicated<br />
on the storied history of Titan football as<br />
well as his success at prior schools.<br />
A native of nearby Ellwood City,<br />
Pa., Hand returned to his childhood<br />
roots and became the 32nd head football<br />
coach in the history of <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> on May 6, 2005. Hand succeeded<br />
Jerry Schmitt, who left <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
after five seasons to coach<br />
Division I-AA Duquesne University.<br />
Hand is looking to follow in the<br />
footsteps of a lineage of successful<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> coaches that includes<br />
Gene Nicholson (1991-98) and <strong>College</strong><br />
Football Hall of Fame inductees Dr.<br />
Harold Burry (1952-71) and Dr. Joseph<br />
B. Fusco (1972-90). Collectively, they<br />
guided the Titans to an unprecedented<br />
six NAIA Division II national championships<br />
(1970, ’76-77, ’88-89, ’94) and<br />
11 undefeated regular seasons prior to<br />
joining the NCAA in 1998.<br />
After losing seasons in Hand’s<br />
first two years (4-6 in 2005, 2-8 in<br />
The Hand File<br />
2006), the 2007 team posted a record<br />
of 5-5 and showed the type of marked<br />
improvement that signifies Hand’s new<br />
system is taking its course.<br />
Prior to his hiring at <strong>Westminster</strong>,<br />
Hand coached Waynesburg <strong>College</strong><br />
(2001-04) to consecutive postseason<br />
appearances just two years after his<br />
arrival. After a 3-7 record his first year<br />
at Waynesburg in 2001, Hand’s charges<br />
were able to win the school’s first<br />

Region II Coach of the Year.<br />
A year later in 2004, Hand took<br />
Waynesburg to the ECAC Division<br />
III Southeast Bowl after a 7-3 regular<br />
season.<br />
Overall, Hand amassed a fourseason<br />
24-17 record at Waynesburg.<br />
The 2003-04 campaigns marked the<br />
first consecutive seven-win seasons at<br />
Waynesburg since the school’s golden<br />
age that included and followed its 1966<br />
national championship team.<br />
Prior to taking the Waynesburg position,<br />
Hand served two years as head<br />
coach at Benedictine (Ill.) University,<br />
posting a 13-7 mark (6-4 in 1999, 7-3 in<br />
2000). It marked the first time the Eagles<br />
had posted back-to-back winning<br />
seasons since the 1988-89 campaigns.<br />
Hand coached three All-Americans during<br />
his two seasons at Benedictine.<br />
Overall, Hand boasts a 48-43<br />
(.527) record in nine seasons as a head<br />
coach, including five winning seasons<br />
and three seasons with seven or more<br />

As an assistant coach, Hand began<br />
his career as defensive line coach at<br />
Waynesburg in 1992. He then moved to<br />
Hanover (Ind.) <strong>College</strong> where he served<br />
as defensive line coach (1993-94)<br />
and linebackers coach/special teams<br />
coordinator and recruiting coordinator<br />
(1994-97). While at Hanover, he helped<br />
guide the Panthers to three conference<br />
championships and a pair of undefeated<br />
regular season records (10-0 in both<br />
1995 and 1997), while his defensive<br />
and special teams units were both<br />

at Benedictine in 1998, leading the<br />
Eagle defense to a national ranking<br />
as high as fifth in the country during<br />
the season, before being named head<br />
coach the following season.<br />
One consistent trait of Hand’s<br />
teams has been strong academic<br />
achievement. His teams at Benedictine<br />
earned a cumulative 3.1 team gradepoint<br />
average. The current <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
team is on its way to meeting those<br />
same standards as the team’s cumulative<br />
GPA is 2.85. At Waynesburg, his<br />
teams have produced 34 PAC Academic<br />
Honor Roll (3.6 GPA or higher during<br />
semester of competition) members<br />
during the last four seasons, including<br />
a conference-high 10 honorees in<br />
2004. In his three years at <strong>Westminster</strong>,<br />
his team produced 11 PAC Academic<br />
Honor Roll members and two Academic<br />
All-District selections (Adam Hadbavny<br />
in 2005 and Nick McKolosky in 2007).<br />
Hand was also responsible for the<br />
implementation and coordination of the<br />
Study Zone at each of the institutions.<br />
A 1992 graduate of Clarion University,<br />
Hand earned a master’s degree at<br />
Indiana University Southeast in 2000.<br />
He comes from a family of coaches,<br />
joining older brothers Bill (former head<br />
coach at Riverside HS) and Nick (defensive<br />
line coach at North Hills HS).<br />

Team History<br />
Now entering its 113th<br />
season of competition,<br />
the <strong>Westminster</strong> Titan<br />
football program has a<br />
history and tradition unparalleled in the<br />
annals of small college football. With six<br />
national championships and more than<br />
500 victories, the “Titan Tradition” of<br />
gridiron excellence is known throughout<br />
the nation.<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong>’s football history is<br />
unusual in another respect, in that<br />
rarely has a program been so easily<br />
divided into different eras. For Titan<br />
fans, the line of demarcation is clear:<br />
1952, the year Dr. Harold Burry took<br />
over the reins as head football coach at<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong>. According to former Titan<br />
defensive coordinator Darwin Huey,<br />
“From that date forward, that field and<br />
its football team have never been the<br />
same.”<br />
Following are histories of the four<br />
major eras of Titan football:<br />
Program Origins<br />
1891-1951<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> had long held that<br />
its first season of football was 1892.<br />
However, in research for his book on<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> football, Winning, the late<br />
author Dr. William McTaggart made a<br />
contrary discovery. According to a 1911<br />
edition of the Holcad, <strong>Westminster</strong>’s<br />
student newspaper, “Football was first<br />
taken up as a college sport in the fall<br />
of 1891. Mr. M.D. McNab of Chicago<br />
entered school that year and had<br />
some knowledge of the game. A team<br />
was organized and the first game was<br />
played with Geneva ... The score was<br />
42-0 in favor of Geneva … Those who<br />
saw the game decided that football was<br />
the ‘most stupidest’ game ever seen.”<br />
Over the next 60 years, little of<br />
what took place on the field would<br />
change that first opinion of the sport on<br />
campus. During that span, at least 23<br />
different head coaches led <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
to an overall mark of 172-244-44,<br />
an average of less than three wins per<br />
season. There were several positive<br />
seasons of note: a 9-2 mark under<br />
Coach Lang in 1905, with <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
outscoring its opponents 309-32; a<br />
21-6-1 mark under Coach McMahon<br />
from 1906-08; and an 11-4-1 mark<br />
under Coach Tinkham from 1913-14.<br />
From that point on, however, <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
would manage just four winning<br />
season records over the next 36 years.<br />
The early days<br />
did provide some<br />
famous names<br />
leading the Blue<br />
& White. Coaching<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong><br />
from 1915-16 and<br />
in the 1918 and<br />
1921 seasons was<br />
DeOrmand “Tuss”<br />
McLaughry McLaughry.<br />
Despite posting<br />
just a 7-17-2 coaching mark in those<br />
four seasons, McLaughry went on to<br />
a stellar coaching career at Amherst,<br />
Brown and Dartmouth and later became<br />
an influential member of the American<br />
Football Coaches Association (AFCA).<br />
Beginning in 1964 through today, the<br />
AFCA annually presents the Tuss<br />
McLaughry Award to members for the<br />
highest service to others. Future Titan<br />
basketball mentors John Lawther and<br />
Grover Washabaugh also saw time as<br />
head football coaches at <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
during this era.<br />
After six decades of futility, in 1952<br />
a new head coach appeared that would<br />
change the face of Titan football forever.<br />
The Burry Era 1952-71<br />
According to Huey, in an article<br />
written following Harold Burry’s death in<br />
1992, “The Titan Tradition dates its birth<br />
from a hot August day in 1952 when<br />
Harold E. Burry first ran onto the field<br />
as head coach of the football Titans. In<br />
the 100+ years of Titan football, there<br />
has been no more<br />
important day.” Dr.<br />
Harold Burry, a<br />
New Castle native<br />
and 1935 <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
graduate,<br />
would go on to<br />
lead Titan football<br />
to previously unthinkable<br />
heights.<br />
Burry<br />
From 1952-71,<br />
Burry compiled<br />
a head coaching<br />
record of 127-31-5 (.794).<br />
Coach Burry never knew a losing<br />
season in football in his 20 years<br />
at <strong>Westminster</strong>, while his Titan gridders<br />
posted six undefeated seasons.<br />
His teams posted 8-0 regular season<br />
records in 1953, 1956, 1964, 1970<br />
and 1971 and a 6-0-1 mark in 1955.<br />
The 1970 record, when <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
captured the inaugural NAIA Division<br />
II National Championship, was 10-0<br />
overall, including two playoff wins. His<br />
1971 record, where the Titans finished<br />
as national runner-up in NAIA Division<br />
II, was 8-1-1.<br />
His teams were both offensive- and<br />
defensive-minded. The Titans scored<br />
3,613 points in 163 games under Burry,<br />
an average of over 22 points per game,<br />
while allowing just 1,591 points in that<br />
time (9.76 ppg allowed). Burry’s top<br />
offensive team came in 1956, as the Titans<br />
outscored their opponents 344-51<br />
en route to an unbeaten record. His<br />
top defensive teams were in 1953 and<br />
1954, each allowing just 33 points in an<br />
entire season.<br />
Twice Burry led the Titans to<br />
24-game unbeaten streaks. The first occurred<br />
from 1954-57 (23-0-1), followed<br />
by another from 1969-71 (23-0-1).<br />
Burry’s teams also never lost a homecoming<br />
game and lost only 14 times<br />
on “Titan Turf” at Memorial Field in 20<br />
years. <strong>Westminster</strong>’s reputation as a<br />
defensive giant was growing, as the<br />
Titans posted 41 shutouts in Burry’s<br />
tenure.<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> captured Tri-State<br />
Football Championships in 1955 and<br />
’56. In an 11-year span as a member of<br />
the West Penn Conference (1958-68),<br />
the Titans won or shared eight conference<br />
titles, including their first six years<br />
as a league member from 1958-63.<br />
At the conclusion of his stellar<br />
career, Burry was recognized as one of<br />
the finest coaches in the land. In 1967,<br />
he was voted Small <strong>College</strong> Football<br />
Coach of the Year by the Football Writers<br />
of America (FWA), and was also<br />
selected to the NAIA Hall of Fame. In<br />
1996, he would be further honored<br />
when he was one of just four coaches<br />
elected to the inaugural divisional (non-<br />
NCAA Division I) class of the <strong>College</strong><br />
Football Hall of Fame. Burry was also<br />
honored by <strong>Westminster</strong> that same<br />
year, as the entire football stadium<br />
complex was renamed “Harold Burry<br />
Stadium.”<br />
Burry retired as head football coach<br />
following the 1971 season, remaining<br />
as athletic director at <strong>Westminster</strong>.<br />
Replacing him on the sidelines was<br />
the Titan offensive line coach, a former<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> offensive lineman whose<br />
pugnacious style would serve him well<br />
as he carved his own distinct niche of<br />
success into Titan football history.<br />
26 2008 Titan Football
Why The Titans?<br />
The athletic symbol for all <strong>Westminster</strong> athletic teams is the Titan. This nickname<br />
was coined by Irving L. “Bud” Mansell to describe the 1926 basketball<br />
team in the Holcad, the school newspaper. Coach John Lawther took a<br />
calculated risk and benched seven returning lettermen to build a young team<br />
around a new system. Using tall men and the new zone defense, he turned<br />
out the best team <strong>Westminster</strong> had put on the floor in several years, posting a<br />
10-5 record and tying for second place in the conference. The tall players on<br />
that team were the original “Towering Titans.”<br />
The Fusco Era 1972-90<br />
Few men could have matched<br />
Burry’s record of excellence. Fewer still<br />
could have taken that legacy and improved<br />
upon it. Over the next 19 years,<br />
Dr. Joseph B. Fusco did just that.<br />
Fusco led the Titans to a 154-34-3<br />
(.814) record from 1972-90, leading the<br />
Titans to four more NAIA Division II NationalChampionships<br />
in 1976, ’77,<br />
’88 and ’89. When<br />
he stepped down<br />
following the 1990<br />
season, his career<br />
winning percentage<br />
was the second<br />
highest among all<br />
active NAIA football<br />
coaches with more<br />
Fusco<br />
than 10 years of<br />
experience.<br />
A 1960 West-<br />
minster alum, Fusco began his coaching<br />
career at nearby Wilmington and<br />
Grove City high schools before joining<br />
Burry’s staff as offensive line coach in<br />
1968. After serving as an assistant over<br />
the next four years, helping the Titans<br />
to the ’70 national crown, he began<br />
a head coaching career that included<br />
nine NAIA national playoff appearances<br />
and 15 NAIA Division II Top 20 finishes.<br />
However, it was the national championship<br />
years that left Fusco an undeniable<br />
legacy of success.<br />
Fusco led <strong>Westminster</strong> to a 21-1<br />
record while capturing the 1976 and<br />
1977 NAIA Division II national titles.<br />
His 1977 team finished 11-0 (Fusco’s<br />
first undefeated team) and also won the<br />
Lambert Bowl trophy as the top small<br />
college team in the Eastern United<br />
States. Fusco again led <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
to back-to-back titles in 1988 (14-0)<br />
and 1989 (13-0), compiling a 27-game<br />
winning streak that, at the time, was the<br />
longest win streak of any college team<br />
in the nation at any level.<br />
The 1988 championship is the most<br />
vivid in the memories of Titan fans.<br />
Nobody who was at Memorial Field that<br />
cold, snowy December day will forget<br />
Joe Micchia’s 33-yard scoring strike to<br />
Dave Foley on 4th-and-10 with just seconds<br />
to play, breaking a 14-14 tie and<br />
giving the Titans a 21-14 championship<br />
win. <strong>Westminster</strong> made it back to the<br />
NAIA title game for an unprecedented<br />
third consecutive time in 1990, only to<br />
fall to Peru State in the championship in<br />
Fusco’s final game as Titan head coach.<br />
Like Burry, Fusco was showered<br />
with awards throughout his career. He<br />
was named 1988 NAIA National Coach<br />
of the Year, while earning NAIA District/<br />
Area Coach of the Year honors on<br />
seven occasions. In 1994, Fusco joined<br />
Burry in the NAIA Hall of Fame. He<br />
joined Burry in the <strong>College</strong> Football Hall<br />
of Fame Class of 2001.<br />
Following his coaching retirement,<br />
the coaching position was passed on<br />
like a treasured heirloom to the next<br />
Titan mentor, who continued to improve<br />
and strengthen the Titan Tradition<br />
throughout the decade of the 1990s.<br />
The Nicholson Era<br />
1991-99<br />
There is one coach in the history<br />
of Titan football who was a member of<br />
the coaching staff on all six of <strong>Westminster</strong>’s<br />
national championship teams.<br />
Gene Nicholson, who recently retired<br />
from football coaching after more than<br />
30 years on the Titan football staff, is<br />
the one person who can make that<br />
claim.<br />
After beginning his coaching<br />
career at Wilmington High School, the<br />
1964 Slippery Rock graduate joined<br />
Burry’s staff as defensive coordinator in<br />
1969. In that position over the next 22<br />
years, serving both Burry and Fusco,<br />
Nicholson helped to mold one of the<br />
premier defensive units in the country.<br />
He coached 23 All-Americans from<br />
1969-90, including 16 First Team selec-<br />
tions, as <strong>Westminster</strong> defenses gave<br />
up an average of only 10.6 points, 94.6<br />
rushing yards and 132.9 passing yards<br />
per game. In 1990, the Titan defense<br />
cracked the national Top 10 in all four<br />
national defensive categories for the<br />
first time in school history.<br />
Nicholson then replaced Fusco as<br />
head coach in 1991. The tradition of<br />
excellence at <strong>Westminster</strong> continued<br />
during his eight-year span leading the<br />
program.<br />
In 1992, Nicholson led the program<br />
to its 11th undefeated regular season in<br />
school history. After reaching the NAIA<br />
title game in 1993, <strong>Westminster</strong> capped<br />
its 100th season with a 12-2 record and<br />
an NAIA-record<br />
sixth national<br />
title in 1994. The<br />
1994 title gave<br />
the Titans national<br />
crowns in each of<br />
the past three decades.<br />
Nicholson<br />
is believed to have<br />
coached in more<br />
Nicholson<br />
Team History<br />
national championship<br />
games (nine)<br />
than any coach at<br />
any level in college football history.<br />
For his efforts, the 1994 inductee<br />
into the Towering Titan Hall of Fame<br />
was selected as 1994 NAIA/Rawlings<br />
Division II National Coach of the Year,<br />
while earning the same honor from<br />
American Football Quarterly. He was<br />
also selected as Coach of the Year in<br />
the Tri-State area by the Tri-State Football<br />
Officials Association.<br />
NCAA Division III Era<br />
2000-present<br />
The Titan football program began<br />
its fifth era in 2000 by entering the<br />
Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC)<br />
under the direction of new head coach<br />
Jerry Schmitt. The <strong>College</strong> took the<br />
next step in 2002, the program’s first as<br />
a full member of NCAA Division III. Jeff<br />
Hand replaced Schmitt (28-21 in five<br />
years) as head coach prior to the 2005<br />
season.<br />
If the lessons for the future can be<br />
learned in the past, as many historians<br />
say, the next era will continue the tradition<br />
of excellence, both on the gridiron<br />
and in the classroom, that has been<br />
the hallmark of the <strong>Westminster</strong> Titan<br />
football program.<br />

National Champions<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> has won an unprecedented six<br />
NAIA National Championships in football<br />
during its glorious history. Here is a look<br />
back at each of those championship games:<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> ...................21<br />
Anderson ........................16<br />
Dec. 5, 1970 – New Castle, PA<br />
At a cold Taggart Stadium in New Castle in<br />
front of 5,000 people, <strong>Westminster</strong> battled<br />
Anderson <strong>College</strong> from Indiana in the<br />
inaugural NAIA Division II National Championship<br />
game. The Titans scored first for<br />
a 7-0 lead after one quarter, and looked to<br />
be in control with two second-quarter scores<br />
and a 21-0 halftime lead. But the Ravens did<br />
not surrender. Anderson scored twice in the<br />
final quarter, but the Titan defense held fast.<br />
Quarterback Dave Bierbach was voted the<br />
game’s outstanding back, as he passed for<br />
two scores. The squad closed the season<br />
undefeated for coach Harold Burry.<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> ...................20<br />
Redlands ........................13<br />
Dec. 4, 1976 – Redlands, CA<br />
After defeating top-ranked Texas Lutheran<br />
31-0 in a national semifinal the previous<br />
weekend, the 9-1 Titans faced Redlands<br />
(10-1). The Titans scored first off a Jan Budai<br />
pass to Dave Hasson for a 7-0 lead. A pair<br />
of Redlands field goals left the Titans with<br />
a 7-6 lead at the half. <strong>Westminster</strong> scored<br />
first in the second half, but tension mounted<br />
after Redlands tied the game at 13-13. In the<br />
fourth <strong>Westminster</strong> would prevail after Budai<br />
scored on a three-yard rush to give the<br />
squad a 20-13 lead. As the clock ran out, the<br />
Titans were named national champions for<br />
the first time under coach Joe Fusco.<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> ...................17<br />
California Lutheran ...........9<br />
Dec. 3, 1977 – Thousand Oaks, CA<br />
Crowned with the Lambert Bowl trophy as<br />
the top small college football team in the<br />
East two days earlier, the Titans took to<br />
the field to battle powerhouse California<br />
Lutheran. Down 9-0 and without quarterback<br />
Steve Kraus, who had left the game in the<br />
third, <strong>Westminster</strong> rallied with 17 unanswered<br />
points for their second straight national<br />
crown. Titan reserve Frank Rondinelli<br />
hit Bill Stiger with a 59-yard touchdown pass<br />
in the third quarter to cut into the lead. Walt<br />
Siemenski added a field goal in the fourth<br />
to give the Titans their first lead at 10-9.<br />
Rondinelli, named Offensive Player of the<br />
Game, then raced 36 yards for the final<br />
score after a fourth-down gamble by the<br />
Kingsmen failed to convert. All-American<br />
Frank Emanuele was named Outstanding<br />
Defensive Player of the Game.<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> ......................21<br />
Wisconsin-LaCrosse ..........14<br />
Dec. 17, 1988 – New Wilmington, PA<br />
With seven seconds remaining in a 14-14 tie,<br />
the unexpected became a reality. Shocking<br />
all in attendance, Dave Foley caught a<br />
33-yard over-the-shoulder pass from QB Joe<br />
Micchia for the miracle win. Micchia, despite<br />
nursing the flu, was voted Offensive MVP.<br />
With 21 seconds remaining in the first half,<br />
Micchia threw a 17-yard TD pass to Foley to<br />
tie the game at 7-all. When the Indians acquired<br />
a 14-7 lead, the Titans rebounded to<br />
score on a 63-yard drive to tie the game with<br />
5:11 left. The last-minute heroics of Foley<br />
and Micchia negated what appeared to be<br />
a dual championship for the two squads. Attendees<br />
of the Miracle on Ice saw the Titans<br />
win their fourth national championship.<br />

<strong>Westminster</strong> ......................51<br />
Wisconsin-LaCrosse ..........30<br />
Dec. 16, 1989 – Canton, OH<br />
On a snow-covered and frigid Fawcett Field<br />
with a minus-16 degree wind chill, the 12-0<br />
Titans traveled to defend the national title<br />
in the shadows of the Pro Football Hall<br />
of Fame. The squad was led by Kodak<br />
All-American quarterback Joe Micchia, the<br />
game’s Offensive MVP. With strained ligaments<br />
in his right thumb, Micchia used the<br />
shotgun offense for the first time. Wisconsin-<br />
LaCrosse took a 14-0 lead early and a 17-14<br />
halftime advantage. In the second half, the<br />
Titans scored first for a 20-17 lead and never<br />
looked back. Defensive MVP Louis Berry<br />
posted two fumble recoveries, setting up two<br />
of four second-half touchdowns for Micchia,<br />
who completed 18-of-33 passes. With little<br />
time remaining, Berry intercepted a two-point<br />
conversion pass, returning it 100 yards to<br />
add the final two points.<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> ...................27<br />
Pacific Lutheran ...............7<br />
Dec. 17, 1994 – Portland, OR<br />
In a rematch of the1993 NAIA Division II<br />
National Championship (won 50-20 by PLU),<br />
the Titans avenged the loss by routing the<br />
Lutes 27-7 to win an unprecedented sixth<br />
NAIA national title. Across the country in<br />
Portland, Ore., a crowd of 4,357 saw the Titans<br />
build a 14-7 lead heading into halftime.<br />
First-half play included two touchdowns by<br />
junior Tim McNeil, the game’s Most Valuable<br />
Offensive Player. The Lutes were held scoreless<br />
until 1:10 remained, when they scored<br />
their only touchdown of the game. Secondhalf<br />
play included two interceptions, both<br />
leading to Titan touchdowns, including NAIA<br />
All-American Andy Blatt’s seven-yard rush up<br />
the right side to seal the victory.<br />

Founded in 1955, the Presidents’ Athletic Conference continues<br />
its mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics and<br />
the pursuit of academic excellence.<br />
Comprised of 10 select private colleges - Bethany <strong>College</strong>,<br />
Chatham University, Geneva <strong>College</strong>, Grove City <strong>College</strong>, Saint<br />
Vincent <strong>College</strong>, Thiel <strong>College</strong>, Thomas More <strong>College</strong>, Washington<br />
and Jefferson <strong>College</strong>, Waynesburg University and <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> - the PAC remains a unique organization in this day of high<br />
pressure intercollegiate athletics. With academics at the center of<br />
each member’s philosophy, the PAC is built on the principle that an<br />
athletic program is a part of college life, but not an entity in itself.<br />
The PAC expanded to seven members in 2005 with the addition<br />
of Thomas More, formerly an NCAA Division III independent. Saint<br />
Vincent <strong>College</strong>, a former NAIA member, joined the conference<br />
as it began provisional membership status in NCAA Division III in<br />
2006-07. Another former NAIA member, Geneva <strong>College</strong>, became<br />
the conference’s ninth member and began league play as it started<br />
NCAA Division III provisional membership in 2007-08. Chatham <strong>College</strong><br />
became the league’s 10th member, also in 2007-08.<br />
The PAC annually crowns champions in 19 sports. In 2007-08,<br />
the conference had 35 teams represent the conference in postseason<br />
play, including 19 in NCAA Championship events. PAC championship<br />
teams receive automatic qualification (AQ) status for most NCAA<br />
Division III national championship events.<br />
All-conference status is awarded in all 19 sports. Head coaches<br />
select all-league squads for all team sports, while in individual sports<br />
such as cross country and tennis, all-PAC accolades are based upon<br />
Presidents’ Athletic Conference<br />
performances at the conference championships.<br />
The PAC annually awards its men’s and women’s All-Sports<br />
Trophies to the schools which perform best across the board in<br />
PAC competition. The Washington & Jefferson <strong>College</strong> men and<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> <strong>College</strong> women captured the 2007-08 trophies.<br />
True to its mission, the PAC has produced numerous Academic<br />
All-Americans and NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Last<br />
year, the league named a record 660 student-athletes to the PAC<br />
Academic Honor Roll, which recognizes all participating athletes who<br />
attain a term grade-point average of 3.60 or above.<br />

The Towering Titan Organization (TTO)<br />
Providing support for <strong>Westminster</strong>’s athletic programs is the Towering Titan Organization (TTO), formed in 1976 around a core<br />
of devoted, loyal and intensely interested alumni, parents and friends. The organization purposes itself to help maintain, improve and<br />
endow <strong>Westminster</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s athletic programs.<br />
Over $2.6 million in gifts have been contributed to the Towering Titan Fund since its inception.<br />
The annual income is distributed in this manner: 90 percent of all donations go directly to the sport(s) chosen (donations can be<br />
designated to a specific sport for men or women), with 10 percent going towards the operation and promotion of the fund. All 20 varsity<br />
sports for men and women benefit from the fund.<br />
A minimum gift of $30 qualifies a donor for membership. Members receive a membership card and decal, issues of the Towering<br />
Titan Newsletter and invitations to social events such as golf outings each July, and recognition dinners and ceremonies that are scheduled<br />
periodically. Qualifying gifts are also recognized through membership in <strong>Westminster</strong>’s Giving Clubs. For more information or to<br />
join the Towering Titans, contact <strong>Westminster</strong> Director of Athletics Jim Dafler at (724) 946-7313.<br />

Athletics Facilities<br />
One of the benefits<br />
enjoyed by <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
student-athletes is<br />
access to outstanding<br />
athletic facilities on campus. These<br />
facilities provide Titan athletes with a<br />
competitive edge as they prepare for<br />
each season:<br />
Memorial Field House Entrance<br />
Memorial Field House<br />
The main athletic facility on campus,<br />
Memorial Field House sits adjacent<br />
to Brittain Lake and is a memorial to<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> men who served and died<br />
in World Wars I & II. Built in 1950, it has<br />
endured its third renovation, with the<br />
new Thomas V. Mansell Educational<br />
Wing being added during 1999. The<br />
new wing features an expanded lobby<br />
area, new offices, a hospitality room<br />
with kitchen, and a pair of technologically-enhanced<br />
“smart classrooms.”<br />
Work on the James F. Edwards Education<br />
Wing on the east side of the Field<br />
House was completed in the fall of<br />
2001. The Edwards Wing features five<br />
new locker rooms, a large visiting team<br />
area that can be subdivided, three staff<br />
locker rooms, a restroom, and a lobby.<br />
Memorial Field House also features<br />
the following areas:<br />
Buzz Ridl Gymnasium - Home<br />
to the <strong>Westminster</strong> basketball and volleyball<br />
programs, the main gymnasium<br />
seats 2,300 fans for varsity sporting<br />
events. The gym’s main floor was refinished<br />
and repainted in the summer of<br />
2007. An auxiliary gym is directly adjacent<br />
to the main gym to allow flexibility<br />
in scheduling for all teams and includes<br />
indoor batting cages for baseball and<br />
softball. The gym was dedicated in<br />
honor of the late C.G. “Buzz” Ridl, former<br />
men’s basketball coach and athletic<br />
director, in 1996.<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> Natatorium - The<br />
Titan swim teams compete in the<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> Natatorium, which is also<br />
available to the campus community for<br />
leisure swimming. Completed as an<br />
addition to the Field House in 1975,<br />
the Natatorium features a six-lane pool<br />
with electronic timers and a spectator<br />
gallery.<br />
Physical Fitness Center - Completed<br />
in 1994, the fitness center<br />
provides all students, including varsity<br />
athletes, with a state-of-the-art weight<br />
and fitness training facility. The center<br />
features a large free weight section, as<br />
well as over 40 pieces of selectorized<br />
and aerobic equipment.<br />
The Field House also features an<br />
advanced training room for varsity athletes,<br />
two racquetball courts, as well as<br />
complete locker and shower facilities.<br />
Burry Stadium<br />
The home of the Titan football team<br />
since 1950, Memorial Field has been<br />
the site of some of the top small college<br />
football to be played over the past 50<br />
years, including the 1988 NAIA Division<br />
II National Championship game. The<br />
stadium underwent major renovations in<br />
2008 with the addition of lighting, artificial<br />
turf and a new entrance plaza.<br />
The new lighting and artificial turf<br />
allows flexibility in practice and game<br />
scheduling, most notably the Titan soccer<br />
team playing its first night games on<br />
the surface in 2008.<br />
Field House Fitness Center<br />
A new track was installed in 2001<br />
and a new press box and refurbished<br />
main seating areas were added in<br />
1997.<br />
Following the renovation in 1997,<br />
the football complex was dedicated in<br />
honor of former <strong>Westminster</strong> football<br />
coach and athletic director Dr. Harold<br />
Burry, who was inducted posthumously<br />
into the <strong>College</strong> Football Hall of Fame<br />
in 1996.<br />
Old 77<br />
Marjorie A. Walker Center<br />
The long-time home of Titan basketball<br />
dating back almost 100 years,<br />
Old 77 gymnasium has been renovated<br />
to serve as an intramural and varsity<br />
practice gymnasium. The facility, which<br />
features an indoor running track, is<br />
named in honor of the Titan men’s basketball<br />
team, which won 77 consecutive<br />
home games there over a 10-year<br />
span before moving to Memorial Field<br />
House in 1951. In 2003, the Marjorie<br />
A. Walker Fitness Center opened in the<br />
lower level of the gym, named in honor<br />
of the pioneering women’s coach and<br />
administrator who retired from the <strong>College</strong><br />
in 1993.<br />
The <strong>College</strong> also has 10 varsity<br />
tennis courts, baseball and softball<br />
diamonds, a cross country course, and<br />
varsity practice/intramural fields. In<br />
addition, a new field for the men’s and<br />
women’s soccer teams opened in 2000.<br />
54 2008 Titan Football
The most significant renovation<br />
project in the 58-year history of Memorial<br />
Field took place in the summer of 2008<br />
with the installation of synthetic FieldTurf<br />
and lighting as part of a $1.7 million project<br />
that will include the Joseph B. Fusco<br />
Plaza and an entrance terrace named in<br />
memory of the late Jerry C. Neff.<br />
The home of Titan football home<br />
games since 1950, Memorial Field was<br />
constructed at the same time as Memorial<br />
Field House. Both are named in<br />
honor of men from <strong>Westminster</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
who died in World Wars I & II.<br />
Directly adjacent to the Field House<br />
and sitting just north of Brittain Lake on<br />
the <strong>Westminster</strong> campus, the field has<br />
been the home of six national championship<br />
teams and was the site of the 1988<br />
NAIA Division II National Championship<br />
game, won by the Titans over Wisconsin-<br />
LaCrosse, 21-14.<br />
In 1997, the entire complex was<br />
dedicated and named in honor of the late<br />
Dr. Harold Burry. Burry, a 1935 <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
graduate, served as head football<br />
coach from 1952-71 with a career record<br />
of 127-31-5. He was inducted into the<br />
inaugural divisional class of the <strong>College</strong><br />
Football Hall of Fame in 1996.<br />
The stadium underwent a renovation<br />
in 1997, as a donation by <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
trustee Jim Dewar and his family resulted<br />
in the refurbishment of the bleachers and<br />
construction of a new press box. Also, a<br />
new track was installed in 2001 through<br />
a gift from the Hoyt Foundation in New<br />
Castle. In 2005, a new scoreboard was<br />
installed.<br />
Burry Stadium seats 4,500 fans.<br />

<strong>Westminster</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
New Wilmington, Pennsylvania<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> <strong>College</strong> is an independent, coeducational,<br />
liberal arts college, related to the Presbyterian Church<br />
(U.S.A.). Founded in 1852, <strong>Westminster</strong>’s liberal arts<br />
foundation thrives in a caring environment supported<br />
by an integrative curriculum featuring state-of-the-art<br />
technology and opportunities for involvement to prepare<br />
students for a diverse world. Over 1,400 students benefit<br />
from individualized attention from dedicated faculty,<br />
while choosing from 41 majors and nearly 100 campus<br />
organizations on the New Wilmington, Pa., campus.<br />
Degrees offered include Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of<br />
Science, Bachelor of Music, and Master of Education.<br />
Succeed at <strong>Westminster</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> <strong>College</strong> has many<br />
distinguishing characteristics<br />
that position it as a leader in liberal arts<br />
education today:<br />
• Its safe 300-acre picturesque campus<br />
nestled in the tranquil rolling hills of<br />
western Pennsylvania;<br />
• A commitment to personal attention from<br />
experienced, acclaimed professors (91<br />
percent hold their doctorates or terminal<br />
degrees);<br />
• Unique curriculum featuring a First-Year<br />
Program designed to prepare students<br />
for a liberal arts education at <strong>Westminster</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> and continued success after<br />
graduation;<br />
• 41 majors and several pre-professional<br />
programs – All students have the<br />
opportunity to double major or<br />
create their own major (individual<br />
interdisciplinary).<br />
Size and fit<br />
The personality of <strong>Westminster</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
is friendly, lively and nurturing, but with<br />
a clear, dedicated focus on academic<br />
achievement. Enrollment is about 1,400<br />
– large enough to promote diversity, yet<br />
small enough to sustain a close sense of<br />
community and belonging.<br />
The campus is located in the small<br />
borough of New Wilmington, away<br />
from the concerns of a large urban area,<br />
but close enough to the cosmopolitan<br />
opportunities and resources of some of the<br />
country’s most exciting renaissance cities.<br />
Pittsburgh is 60 minutes south of campus<br />
and Cleveland is 90 minutes northwest of<br />
campus.<br />
Academic reputation<br />
Graduating with a degree from<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> <strong>College</strong> has definite<br />
advantages. A quick look at the broad<br />
national recognition and status the <strong>College</strong><br />
has received speaks for itself. Admitted<br />
students consistently score above the<br />
national average on ACT and SAT tests,<br />
which further supports <strong>Westminster</strong>’s<br />
outstanding academic stature.<br />
In addition to earning a strong reputation<br />
academically, <strong>Westminster</strong> is nationally<br />
ranked as an institution that fosters high<br />
personal values and character. Money<br />
magazine’s “Money Guide” has ranked<br />
<strong>Westminster</strong> <strong>College</strong> as one of the nation’s<br />
“Top Ten Liberal Arts Havens.”<br />
