WHY BATTLING BISHOPS? 

The nickname “The Battling Bishops” dates to 1925; 

before then Ohio Wesleyan University’s teams were simply 

known as “The Red and Black,” or sometimes as “The 

Methodists.” Ohio Wesleyan is affiliated with the United 

Methodist Church, and long has produced many of its 

bishops. 

By April, 1925, according to that issue of the Alumni 

Magazine, the present name had finally been derived. 

“Ohio sports writers have been at a loss,” the magazine 

reported. “There are countless colleges throughout the 

country claiming red and black as their colors, and 14 Methodist 

colleges in Ohio alone.” Pi Delta Epsilon journalism 

fraternity therefore sponsored a contest, and the winning 

nickname, “The Battling Bishops,” was “placed before the 

sports writers of the state as the teams’ official title.” Senior 

Harold Thomas of Lima submitted the winning entry. 

The new nickname must have provided inspiration. 

The 1925 football team, under George Gauthier, “The Little 

Giant,” went 7-1-1. Its only loss came to Ohio State by a 10-3 

score, and it tied Syracuse, 3-3, en route to winning Ohio 

Conference and Big Six championships.

2007-08 Bishop outlook 

2 

If the old adage that it’s what’s up front that counts holds 

true, then Ohio Wesleyan head coach Mike DeWitt and the Battling 

Bishops should be in for a thrilling 2007-08 season. 

Ohio Wesleyan made a pair of important strides last season 

in establishing itself as a premier team in the North Coast Athletic 

Conference. 

The Battling Bishops defeated Wittenberg twice, marking 

the first time since the 1949-50 season that an Ohio Wesleyan 

team had accomplished that feat. The second win over Wittenberg 

also gave Ohio Wesleyan its first appearance in the NCAC 

tournament championship game since 1990. 

Head coach Mike DeWitt will look to a group of 9 returning 

lettermen, including 2 starters, to help the Bishops continue that 

momentum and contend for the NCAC championship. 

“Our goal this year is the same as every year — to win a 

conference championship,” DeWitt said. “The past couple of 

years, we’ve come closer and closer to that, and we believe that 

this year, we have a good chance to achieve that goal.” 

The Bishops return a pair of All-NCAC post players in seniors 

Dustin Rudegeair and Jesse Jean. 

Rudegeair ranked second on the team in scoring and rebounding 

average last year on the way to second-team all-conference 

honors. His 12.8 points per game ranked 15th in the NCAC, 

while his 5.9 rebounds per game was 13th. Rudegeair also ranked 

seventh in the league in field goal percentage. 

Jean, who moved into the starting lineup when Ben 

Chojnacki was sidelined with a knee injury, ended up as an hon- 

Dustin Rudegeair looks for an open 

teammate. 

orable mention All-NCAC selection. He averaged 10.0 points 

per game and was a presence at both ends of the court, ranking 

fifth in the conference in field goal percentage (.565), ninth 

in rebounding (6.5/game) and fourth in blocked shots (1.39/ 

game). 

Further bolstering the Bishop front line are senior Ryan 

Rozak, who turned in important minutes in a reserve role 

last year; and 6-7 senior Elliott Kaple, who missed most of last 

season with an ankle injury. 

An impressive crop of newcomers includes 6-8 sophomore 

Brent Pleiman, a first-team All-Ohio selection in high 

school who returns from a back injury that shelved him for 

the entire season; and 6-6 freshman Andrew Martin, a 2-time 

all-district pick in high school. Freshman Kevin Sergeant will 

provide additional depth. 

“The strength of the team this year will be our returning 

post players,” DeWitt said, “but we have a lot of guys who will 

contribute.” 

Senior Brian Cafarella and juniors Kyle Holliday and Kyle 

Miller will vie for the starting wing positions after solid seasons 

off the bench last year. 

Cafarella emerged as one of the conference’s top 3-point 

shooters, ranking third in the league in 3-point field goal percentage 

(.441) and eighth in 3-point field goals (1.61/game). 

Holliday, a versatile player who has seen action both inside 

and outside, is the top returning scorer (6.9 points/game) 

and rebounder (3.0/game) at the wing spots. 

Miller proved to be a fine outside shooter in his first season 

at Ohio Wesleyan, hitting 3-pointers at a .424 clip on the 

way to 4.2 points per game. 

Junior Mitch Noggle also returns, and freshmen Dillon 

McBride and Mike Schwartz also should contribute. McBride 

was an all-district pick in high school, while Schwartz set high 

school season and career assist records. 

“We have a lot of different options at the wing spots,” 

DeWitt said. “There are 3 guys back who played a lot of minutes 

last year, and 2 freshmen who come from very good high 

school programs.” 

Senior Casey Teeters and sophomore Robby Gardiner give 

Ohio Wesleyan solid veterans at the point guard spot. 

Teeters ranked sixth in the conference in assists last 

season (2.62/game) and contributed 5.0 points per game, while 

Gardiner averaged nearly 2.0 assists per game in a reserve role. 

Junior Ryan Willis is back, and freshman Brady McCaffrey 

also will battle for playing time, with Schwartz able to fill in 

here if needed. 

Ohio Wesleyan opens the season at the Midway Classic, 

facing a field that also includes Chicago, a 2007 NCAA Division 

III tournanment team, and Trinity (Texas), a 2006 NCAA tournament 

team. The Bishops then visit Rochester — a preseason 

top-10 pick by Street & Smith — for a tournament before 

visiting Heartland Conference tournament finalist Defiance. 

Ohio Wesleyan opens its home slate against traditional rival 

Capital, another 2007 NCAA tournament team, before jumping 

into the NCAC schedule by hosting 2007 NCAA Division III 

semifinalist Wooster. Otterbein’s Smokey Ballenger Classic, 

featuring a competitive field of Albion, Hanover and Otterbein, 

rounds out of the non-conference schedule. Further highlighting 

the NCAC schedule are a pair of dates against 2006 national 

runner-up Wittenberg and traditionally-tough Wabash, 

as well as a single game against up-and-coming Kenyon.

Battling 

Bishops 

Coach Mike DeWitt 

Mike DeWitt returns for his ninth 

season as men’s basketball coach at Ohio 

Wesleyan University having achieved the 

goal of returning the Battling Bishops to 

championship contention in the North 

Coast Athletic Conference. 

Last year, the Battling Bishops went 

18-10 and finished third in the NCAC. 

Ohio Wesleyan defeated Wittenberg twice, 

marking the first time since the 1949-50 

season that the Bishops had accomplished 

that feat. The second win over Wittenberg 

also gave Ohio Wesleyan its first appearance 

in the NCAC tournament championship 

game since 1990. 

The 2006-07 Bishops went 18-9 and 

finished third in the NCAC. Ohio Wesleyan 

finished off the regular season with 

a win over then-top-ranked Wooster, helping 

DeWitt receive his first NCAC Coach of 

the Year citation. 

In 2003-04, DeWitt guided the 

Bishops to a 19-8 record and a third-place 

finish in the NCAC standings. The 19 wins 

represented the fourth-highest season 

total in school history. Ohio Wesleyan 

finished with a 12-15 record and a fourthplace 

finish in the NCAC in 2001-02. That 

came on the heels of a third-place tie in 

the NCAC in 2000-01 season, Ohio Wesley- 

an’s highest league finish since 1992 and 

the most league wins (10) for the Bishops 

since 1994. 

A 1987 Ohio Wesleyan graduate, 

DeWitt is only the fourth Ohio Wesleyan 

men’s basketball coach in 62 years, following 

Bob Strimer (1946-58), Frank Shannon 

(1958-79) and Gene Mehaffey (1979-99). He 

is the first Ohio Wesleyan alumnus to hold 

the position since Branch Rickey’s last 

season as the Bishop basketball coach in 

1909-10. 

DeWitt came to Ohio Wesleyan from 

Centre (Ky.) College. During his 3 seasons 

at Centre, DeWitt’s teams compiled a 

record of 35-40. The Colonels went 12-13 

during the 1998-99 season with a starting 

lineup that consisted of 3 sophomores and 

2 freshmen. In 1997-98, Centre was 15-10, 

its best record since 1993. 

Prior to coaching at Centre, DeWitt 

was the head men’s basketball coach at 

Hiram College. The Terriers went 6-19 in 

his first season after losing 4 starters from 

the previous year and improved to 9-16 

in 1995-96 while competing in the rugged 

Ohio Athletic Conference. 

DeWitt also served as an assistant 

men’s basketball coach at Kenyon for 

2 seasons, helping the Lords to a 40-15

record and an NCAC tournament championship 

during that span, and was an 

assistant coach at Ohio Wesleyan for 3 seasons 

prior to that. While in his first stint 

on the Bishop coaching staff, he served as 

head junior varsity coach, shared scouting 

and recruiting duties and helped guide the 

Bishops to a 45-36 mark. 

During his playing career, DeWitt was 

a member of 3 conference championship 

teams. He was a 2-time All-NCAC selection 

at Ohio Wesleyan, ranking second on 

the team in scoring as a junior with 16.9 

points per game and third on the team as 

a senior with an average of 13.9 points per 

game. He helped the Bishops win NCAC 

championships in 1985-86 and 1986-87 

and an NCAC tournament title in 1985-86. 

He began his playing career at Wittenberg 

University and was a member of the Tigers’ 

1982-83 team that reached the NCAA 

Division III championship game. 

DeWitt earned his master’s degree 

in physical education from The Ohio State 

University in 1990. He is a native of Galion, 

Ohio, where he was an all-league selection 

in both basketball and tennis at Galion 

High School. 

DeWitt and his wife, Brenda, have a 

daughter, Regan.

ROGER INGLES 

Athletics Director 

Why do we have athletics in a liberal arts setting? 

Regardless of the size of the institution or the level of 

competition, the core values cited in the athletic mission 

statements of institutions as diverse as Ohio Wesleyan 

University and The Ohio State University are remarkably 

consistent. These core values are easily stripped into three 

basic principles: an almost-unanimous endorsement of 

the pursuit of excellence in all things, including athletics; 

universal identification of athletics as an integral part of 

the educational mission of the institution and citation of 

the intrinsic value to each of the participants, including 

personal and social maturation, the education of the whole 

person, the development of a healthy lifestyle and learning 

the value of the pursuit of goals in a collective context; and 

identification of athletics as one of the best ways to develop 

and foster a sense of community. The universal benefits 

of athletics are conferred alike on the quarterback at Ohio 

State playing in front of 100,000 spectators and the Ohio 

Wesleyan field hockey player playing in front of a small 

weekday crowd.

About the NCAC 

Ohio Wesleyan University is a charter member of 

the North Coast Athletic Conference, which began competition 

in the 1984-85 academic year. Other charter 

members are Allegheny College, Case Western Reserve 

University, Denison University, Kenyon College, Oberlin 

College and the College of Wooster. Earlham College 

and Wittenberg University joined the NCAC in 1988, and 

Hiram College and Wabash College joined the NCAC in 

1998. 

The NCAC’s 10 members believe academic and 

athletic excellence can co-exist, with no undue overemphasis 

on athletics. They also believe the principle of 

balance is important in athletic programs at the Division 

III level, with no “major” or “minor” sports in comparison 

with any other, but all equally worthwhile. Equity 

for both men’s and women’s sports is a founding and 

standard principle. The NCAC’s 22 championship sports 

includes 11 for men and 11 for women, the latter figure 

leading all Division III conferences in the country. When 

at least 5 Conference institutions sponsor a varsity 

sport, the NCAC conducts championship play and honors 

the champion.

During the NCAC’s 23 years of competition, the league 

has established itself as one of the most competitive in the 

nation. A total of 44 teams in all 22 sports, and all 10 NCAC 

schools, were represented in national competition last year, 

with one team winning an NCAA Division III championship 

to raise the conference’s 23-year total to 55. In addition, 

179 student-athletes from around the league earned All- 

America and/or Academic All-America® honors. 

CYNTHIA HOLLIDAY 

Senior Women’s Administrator 

Ohio Wesleyan University has been in the forefront 

of establishing excellence and equity in the athletic 

arena for both men and women. Ohio Wesleyan was one 

of the founding institutions of the National Collegiate 

Athletic Association (NCAA). In the early 1980s, Mary 

Parker, a coach and administrator at Ohio Wesleyan, 

played an integral role in founding the Centennial 

Conference, the first conference in the nation formed 

specifically for women’s athletics. In 1983, Ohio 

Wesleyan became a charter member of the North Coast 

Athletic Conference (NCAC). The NCAC’s founding 

philosophy includes both sport and gender equity as 

well as a firm commitment to academics. The NCAC 

conducts championships in 22 sports, 11 for men and 11 

for women. Ohio Wesleyan’s Athletic Hall of Fame was 

one of the first to induct both men and women. Ohio 

Wesleyan University will continue the commitment to 

excellence, academically, athletically and with sport and 

gender equity a priority.

MARK SHIPPS 

Vice President, University Relations 

The Remembering Mr. Rickey campaign is comprehensive 

in that it will touch nearly all of Ohio Wesleyan’s 

athletic facilities — within one campaign we will be able 

to significantly impact most of our 23 sports. The campaign 

is focused on both athletics and recreation, and it 

is estimated that at least 80 percent of the student body 

uses these facilities on a regular basis. The upgrades 

to the Selby field and track, especially the artificial turf 

installation, will extend the use of this facility seasonally, 

and it will allow teams to share the fields even during 

the individual team seasons. Incoming student-athletes 

have reported their excitement over the prospect of playing 

in renovated and new facilities. For example, our very 

strong softball program will soon benefit from its own 

new field, now being constructed south of the baseball 

diamond. Student-athlete recruiting has benefitted not 

only from the obvious ongoing improvement, but also 

from the planned upgrades and new facilities that will 

come on line as we continue to receive contributions to 

the Remembering Mr. Rickey campaign.

support from the Alumni “W” Association, 

a group of 4500 alumni letterwinners 

worldwide. The goals of the Alumni “W” 

Association are to improve communications 

with alumni athletes, improve the 

current athletic program and raise funds 

to support annual operations of the current 

athletic program. Through the efforts of 

this group, individual team alumni gatherings

A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP RevISITeD 

You will not soon find Scott Tedder’s name on the front 

of any supermarket tabloids, making predictions for the coming 

year. 

But as far as Ohio Wesleyan fans are concerned, Tedder 

ranks right up there with Kreskin, Jeane Dixon and all the 

rest. 

At the team’s 1987 postseason banquet, Tedder promised 

his teammates they would win the national championship 

the next year. “I was half-joking,” Tedder said later. “But The 

Delaware Gazette had it in big headlines: ‘Tedder promises 

national championship.’ ” 

Tedder opened the 1987-88 season with a pair of 

34-point performances in leading the Bishops to a title in 

the Kiwanis Tournament. The big headlines started coming 

after the Bishops’ next game, a 122-115 win at Division I Ohio 

University, where Tedder scored a career-high 50 points. The 

headlines kept coming after a narrow 98-95 loss to Division 

I Morehead State. Tedder and Lee Rowlinson each scored 34 

points in the contest, with Tedder becoming Ohio Wesleyan’s 

all-time leading scorer, passing the 1905 points scored by 

Barry Clemens ’65, an 11-year NBA veteran. 

After an overtime loss to Allegheny to open North Coast 

Athletic Conference play, Ohio Wesleyan was unstoppable, 

reeling off wins in its final 11 league games for a share of 

the regular-season crown. Ohio Wesleyan then claimed the

President Ronald Reagan and U.S. Representative John Kasich 

welcome Ohio Wesleyan president David Warren, MIke 

Smith and Lee Rowlinson to the White House. The Bishops' 

visit to the White House was the first ever by an NCAA 

Division III team. 

NCAC tournament championship with wins over Kenyon and 

Allegheny. 

With a 22-5 record, Ohio Wesleyan was not only going to 

its first NCAA Division III tournament, but was selected to host 

the Great Lakes Regional. Ohio Northern, seeded fourth despite 

giving the Bishops 2 tough games during the season, was 

Ohio Wesleyan’s first foe. Rowlinson scored 16 straight points 

during the second half to lead the Bishops to a 77-70 win. 

Then it was Tedder’s turn, scoring 29 points, including the 

game-winning 3-point bucket with :02 left in the second overtime, 

for a nailbiting 110-107 win over Hope. Tedder earned 

the regional’s Most Outstanding Player award, but it was reserve 

baseline Mark Slayman who sank 2 free throws that sent 

the game into overtime. 

At his best in the big games, Tedder was brilliant again in 

a 106-103 quarterfinal win over Illinois Wesleyan. He finished 

the game with 39 points. 

In Grand Rapids, Mich., Tedder and Rowlinson scored 

35 of their 64 points in the second half as the Bishops pulled 

away from Nebraska Wesleyan for an 87-71 semifinal win. 

Tedder then led the Bishops with 27 points in the championship 

game, a 92-70 verdict over 2-time champion Scranton. 

He was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four, 

joining Rowlinson on the all-tournament team. Rowlinson 

was a second-team All-America pick and was the NCAC’s 

Player of the Year, while Tedder went on to earn Division III 

Player of the Year honors. Tedder didn’t quite sweep postseason 

honors — he just missed breaking the Division III tournament 

scoring record — but when was the last time Kreskin 

had that good a season?

FRANK SHANNON INvITATIONAL 

He took the Ohio Wesleyan 

basketball reins in 1958 and promptly 

ended a 5-year span of losing seasons. 

Within 4 years he had been elected 

Ohio College Coach of the Year, and before 

he retired in 1979 after 21 seasons, 

he had won more games than any 

other coach in Battling Bishop history. 

He is Frank Shannon: teacher, winner, 

gentleman, friend. 

The Parkersburg, W.Va., native 

spent 39 years coaching basketball at virtually every level, 

posting more than 800 career victories. He also stood out as 

a player, twice earning all-conference honors at Wittenberg 

University, from which he received his B.S. degree in 1940. He 

went on to earn his M.A. degree from the University of Alabama 

in 1952. 

Shannon coached at 5 Ohio high schools en route to Ohio 

Wesleyan, compiling a 194-67 record and turning out 7 district 

championship teams. In 1958, he organized and ran the first 

North-South All-Star game for Ohio high school cagers. 

Drafted as an army private in 1941, he distinguished himself 

in the service as well. Discharged as a major, he served 

in Gen. Douglas McArthur’s headquarters in the Southwest 

Pacific. 

He also was among the pioneers of professional basketball, 

serving as the Youngstown Bears’ player-coach in 1947, 

the first year of the National Basketball League, forerunner of 

the National Basketball Association. 

At Ohio Wesleyan, Shannon collected 214 victories, ranking 

sixth in all-time wins among Ohio Athletic Conference 

coaches. His 1961-62 team, which prompted his Coach of the 

Year citation, finished 21-3, still the best mark in the Ohio 

Wesleyan record books for winning percentage. In a 5-year 

span from 1960-65, the Bishops fashioned an 86-31 record. 

Among the products of Shannon’s tenure were Barry Clemens 

’65, who went on to play 11 years in the NBA Shannon

Millhon had a senior 

season that stacks up 

against anyone’s, even 

more than 50 years later. 

He scored a school-record 

556 points and grabbed 

351 rebounds, and his 

averages of 25.3 points 

and 16.0 rebounds per 

game ranked fifth and 

fourth respectively among 

small-college players. 

His 489 rebounds during 

his sophomore season 

established school and 

Ohio Athletic Conference 

records that still stand. Millhon finished his Bishop career 

as the OAC’s all-time leader in scoring and rebounding. His 

point total was still recognized as the OAC’s 3-year career 

record when OWU left the league in 1984.

All-America honors. 

His career total of 2501 

points made him the North 

Coast Athletic Conference’s

ranked fifth on the Division 

III all-time list. He was the 

NCAA Division III Player 

of the Year and the Most 

Outstanding Player of the 

Division III Final Four as a 

senior and was twice the 

NCAC’s Player of the Year. 

He led the league in scoring 3 times and ranked third among 

Division III scorers as a junior and sixth as a senior. Tedder 

set virtually every Ohio Wesleyan scoring record except 

single-game, but he did set the NCAC single-game record 

with 50 points against Ohio University his senior year. One 

of Tedder’s lesser-known records is that he did not foul out 

of a collegiate game.

Remembering Mr. Rickey CAMPAIGN 

Ohio Wesleyan University is well into its first-ever 

campaign directed at fulfilling the needs of the University’s 

athletic and recreation programs as well as the physical 

education department. 

Named “Remembering Mr. Rickey,” the $22 million 

campaign will have a profound impact on all aspects of Ohio 

Wesleyan athletics. The campaign was announced at Ohio 

Wesleyan’s Commencement in 2004, the 100th anniversary 

of Rickey’s graduation from Ohio Wesleyan. At that event, 

Rickey’s grandson, Branch Rickey III ’67, and Jackie Robinson’s 

daughter, Sharon, together addressed the graduating 

seniors. 

As of July, 2007, campaign fundraising had approached 

$7 million and portions of the vision have become reality. 

Work has commenced on Margaret Sagan Field, the 

completion of which will bring Battling Bishop softball back 

on campus for the first time since it was reinstated as a 

varsity sport in 2000. Both Sagan Field and the press box at 

adjacent Littick Field are scheduled to be completed during 

the fall of 2007. 

At Selby Field, an OmniGrass artificial playing surface 

has been installed and the George Gauthier Track has been 

rebuilt with an Ameritan FP surface. 

Among the new facilities to be constructed is an aquatics 

facility featuring a 25-yard, 8-lane pool with a diving area. 

An indoor turf facility also will be built, housing a field of 

approximately 45 yards by 70 yards, or about three-quarters 

the size of a regulation football field. 

An overview of Ohio Wesleyan's athletics facilities. 

Enhancements to all existing facilities are a significant 

portion of the campaign as well. Major enhancements include: 

• Branch Rickey Arena will receive a new, glassed-in 

lobby and entrance on the east side of the existing building, 

featuring additional seating, space dedicated to All-America 

and Athletics Hall of Fame honorees and providing easier access 

to seating and parking; 

• Gordon Field House will receive a new floor and subsurface, 

new netting and a brightened interior; 

• Selby Field will receive a refurbishing of the press box 

and existing concrete walls surrounding the field; 

• The field hockey field will be expanded to meet regulation 

size requirements for both field hockey and women’s 

lacrosse; 

• Edwards Gym, which celebrated its centennial during 

the campaign, will undergo extensive remodeling to include 

more offices and classrooms, as well as new locker rooms 

and conference areas. The gym’s skylight, roof repairs, and 

a new floor in the weight room were completed during the 

summer of 2007. 

Tying the facilities together will be a gateway concept 

that will bridge the north and south athletics areas. This 

gateway will feature green space and be integrated with the 

city of Delaware’s upcoming bike path projects.

Home of the Bishops 

The Battling Bishop men's and women's basketball teams 

play their home games in Branch Rickey Arena, nestled in the 

middle of the Ohio Wesleyan campus. 

Named after Branch Rickey '04, who integrated major 

league baseball while president and general manager of the 

Brooklyn Dodgers, the arena opened its doors in time for the 

1976-77 basketball season. It seats 2300 for basketball and 

has been the site for NCAA Division III playoff games for both 

genders as well as several North Coast Athletic Conference 

and Ohio Athletic Conference tournaments. Rickey Arena 

also serves as home of the Bishop volleyball team. The arena 

is part of the Rickey Center, which also includes the adjacent 

Gordon Field House. 

Selby Field 

Athletic Facilities 

The crown jewel of Ohio Wesleyan’s athletic facilities is Selby 

Field, which is the home of the Bishop football, field hockey, track 

& field and men’s lacrosse contingents. 

An OmniGrass artificial playing surface was installed for the 

2006-07 academic year, making Selby one of the most impressive 

venues among NCAA Division III institutions. Constructed 

in 1929, Selby received a new, fully-enclosed 2-level press box 

and new bleacher seats in the first part of a 3-phase restoration 

program and refurbished locker rooms in the program’s second 

phase. The facility, which seats 9100 and is the fourth-largest 

college-owned field in NCAA Division III, was the site of the 1988 

Division III men’s lacrosse championship game. 

Selby also houses the George Gauthier Track, an Ameritan 

FP surface installed for the 2006-07 academic year. The site of 16 

of the first 23 NCAC outdoor track & field championships, Selby 

is believed to be the oldest facility in the nation constructed to 

Olympic specifications and remaining in its original configuration. 

Across campus, Roy Rike Field hosts soccer, primarily under 

the lights. Widely regarded as one of the Midwest’s finest facilities 

for the sport, Roy Rike Field was the site of the NCAA Division III 

semifinals and championship game for men in 1990 and 1998 and 

for women in 2001. Roy Rike also serves as the home field for the 

women’s lacrosse team. 

The centerpiece of Ohio Wesleyan’s athletic facilities is the 

Branch Rickey Physical Education Center, prized for both its size 

and versatility. Its Richard Gordon Field House, with a 5-lane, 

For 70 years prior to Rickey Arena, Ohio Wesleyan home 

games were played in adjoining Edwards Gym. Opened during 

the 1905-06 academic year, the still-unfinished facility hosted 

Ohio Wesleyan's first intercollegiate basketball team. As many 

as 3000 fans crammed their way into the double-decked court 

on the building's second floor, which still hosts varsity practices 

and intramurals. The gym was named after John Edwards, 

who served on the Board of Trustees in the late 1890s and early 

1900s. One of the biggest facilities in the state at the time of its 

construction, Edwards was one of the first sites for the Ohio high 

school basketball tournament championships, which it hosted 

into the 1930s. 

Branch Rickey Arena 

200-meter track, annually hosted the Ohio Athletic Conference 

Championships and the women’s state title meet as well as the 

first 9 North Coast Athletic Conference championships. Indoor 

practice for fall and spring sports can be handled there as well: 

floor space is larger than a football field, accommodating 6 

courts for basketball, volleyball and tennis. 

Branch Rickey Arena, seating 2300, hosts varsity basketball 

and volleyball contests. Also in the Center are 5 handball/ 

racquetball courts, a squash court, offices, locker rooms and 

lounges. 

Offices and locker rooms also are part of Edwards Gymnasium, 

which is connected by tunnel to the Rickey Center and in 

turn adjoins Pfeiffer Natatorium, home of the Bishop swimming 

teams. Remodeling in Edwards has recently included an 

expanded strength facility. 

Softball will be played at Margaret Sagan Field, scheduled 

to open for the 2008 season. Baseball is played at Littick Field, 

site of the 2003 NCAA Division III Mideast Regional; and tennis 

at the Tennis Centre, a complex of 12 outdoor courts where the 

1978 NCAA Division III championships were held. 

The cross country teams run at nearby Methodist Theological 

School and Delaware Golf Club, which hosted the NCAA 

Division III men’s and women’s championships in 1984 and 2005 

and annually plays host to the All-Ohio Intercollegiate championship 

meet. The golf team also hosted the 2003 NCAA Division 

III championships at the Delaware Golf Club.
