ITHACA BOMBERS VOLLEYBALL Ben Light Gymnasium Ithaca College’s gymnasium was dedicated on December 5, 1964, and was later named after former administrator Ben Light in action taken by the school’s board of trustees in February 1968. The basketball court, with seating capacity for 2,500 spectators, is housed in the Laurence S. Hill Physical Education Center on campus. Ben Light was a football, basketball, and baseball standout at Ithaca College. A 1936 graduate, he was hired as a faculty member and coach. Following World War II Light took over the men’s basketball program and guided the Bombers to a 70-51 record over the next seven seasons. In 1952 he was named the school’s first director of admissions and placement, and seven years later he became secretary of Ithaca College. Light was chosen as vice president of development in 1968, a position he held until his death. Laurence S. Hill was dean of physical education at Ithaca from 1929 until 1957. Both Light and Hill were inducted into the Ithaca College Athletic Hall of Fame. The Ithaca men’s basketball team defeated Lock Haven, 77-57, in the first game played at the new gym on December 9, 1964. George Valesente, the current baseball coach at Ithaca, helped the Bombers to victory with 16 points that evening. Ben Light Gymnasium has played host to numerous volleyball tournaments, highlighted by three rounds of the 1994 NCAA Division III Volleyball Championship. The Bombers hosted a quarterfinal match, beating Springfield to advance to the national semifinals, and were selected to host the semifinal and championship round. A year later, Ithaca hosted Springfield in the quarterfinals and rallied from a 2-0 deficit to reach the final four for the second year in a row. The oldest tradition is the Bomber Invitational, which began during the 1973 season. This tournament continues to attract premier teams in Division III volleyball. The invitational was on hiatus from 1977 to 1986 and from 1993 to 1994. In 1977 Ithaca was the site of the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (EAIAW) northeast regional tournament and the Bombers took fourth place. The following year the Bombers hosted the New York State Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (NYSAIAW) tournament. In 1986 and 1989 Ithaca was the site for the Independent College Athletic Conference (ICAC) Championship, placing first and third, respectively. Ithaca hosted and placed second in the New York State Women’s Collegiate Athletic Association (NYSWCAA) Championship in 1993. Ithaca hosted a quarterfinal match against Trinity (Texas) in 1999, losing to the Tigers, 3-0. The volleyball team has won over 76 percent of its matches in Ben Light Gymnasium since 1974. In addition to Ithaca’s volleyball team, the facility is also the home arena for intercollegiate gymnastics, men’s and women’s basketball and wrestling.
