Finnen, who has served as the public address announcer for Lafayette basketball and football since 1964, was inducted into the Maroon Club Athletic Hall of Fame in He is joined by radio broadcaster and long-time colleague, Dick Hammer, as the only inductees who were not an athlete, coach or administrator at the college. Finnen came to Easton in 1961 to serve as the news director at WEST-AM. He left the station in 1964 and was approached immediately to become the public address announcer at Lafayette. The legendary announcer has been behind the microphone for all but a handful of the several hundred basketball games at the Kirby Sports Center since his arrival as well. By his estimation, Finnen has only missed one home men's or women's game in more than 20 years. He is also a familiar face in the stands at many Leopard road games. He has also coined the phrase familiar to all Lafayette hoops fans, and now, let s play basketball to start off all Leopard basketball games. Finnen and his wife, the former Beatrice Lehan, both graduated from the University of Albany in They have four children and three grand-children. He is retired from The Stroh Brewery Company of Detroit, Mich. and currently serves as a government relations consultant Leopard Basketball

7 SEASON OUTLOOK

8 Season Outlook After posting the most wins in eight seasons in , the Lafayette women s basketball program is both eager and cautiously optimistic, to use the words of sixth-year head coach Tammy Smith. There s no place to go but up. The Leopards usher in a new era beginning in , hence the combination of caution and excitement, armed with its first scholarship class in the program s 33-year history. After the College s trustees voted to award athletic scholarships in 2006, women s basketball was offered monetary support for the impending season and those to follow. Lafayette adds four talented rookies to a very capable corps of returning players. We re very excited about having a great nucleus of returners and a good freshman class to add into the mix, Smith said. The veterans are a year older and are all healthy at this point. They have great attitudes and continue to work really hard. Smith and her staff are hoping to guide the surprise club in a Patriot League that is as competitive as ever. The Leopards enjoyed marquee wins over Lehigh and league powerhouse Holy Cross in , and would like nothing more than to capitalize on similar wins within the Patriot League this season. According to Smith, there are both challenging and winnable games on this year s schedule, but it will be fitting into a league with growing parity that will be essential to the Leopards success. The Backcourt Expect Lafayette to go with the same offensive philosophy that Smith implemented two years ago. A perimeter-oriented club, but one with the ability to work the ball inside depends largely on the talent of its backcourt. Employing a three-guard, motion offense, the Leopards have the ability to cut hard backdoor, attack the gaps and pull up from beyond the arc. Senior point guard and four-year starter Kara Stetler will lead the charge, striving to provide consistency and leadership on the court. It s going to be her decision-making on the court that will be vital to how well we do, Smith said. When it s all said and done, she s our floor leader and the ball is in her hands, assistant coach LaRonda Murphy echoed. An added luxury to this year s club will be depth. The Leopards can go two-deep at any position and not lose much in terms of skill. We can get players rest as needed, Smith said. It doesn t matter who starts. It s who is in the game and who finishes the game that matters. I will not hesitate to shake the line-up around. A pair of juniors in Val Gomez and Maureen Johnson offer experience and size to the Leopards roster. Gomez played through a nagging knee injury last season, starting 15 contests and developing into a playmaker with 37 assists over a 13-game stretch at one point midway through the season. Off-season surgery has alleviated the pain, and she is expected to break out as an impact player in Sophomores Jessica Spicer, Cristin Zavocki and Laura Cullen contributed solid relief minutes a year ago, but with the freshman jitters out of the way, they opened preseason practice with a newfound confidence and mindset. Zavocki took the court in all 28 games as a rookie, while Spicer logged minutes in all but one. The pair hovered around 10 minutes a game a number that will surely grow at the start of this season. Sophomore transfer Meaghan Malone becomes eligible in January, while freshmen Danielle Jenkins and Amanda Leone will also challenge for floor time. Up Front After what could be described as an upand-down season last year, junior Vanessa Van De Venter will again fill the role as the Leopards go-to player. The 6-0 Tannersville, Pa. native slashes to the basket and provides the versatility to play either the four or five positions. After a stellar All-Patriot League Rookie season, Van De Venter s talent was no longer a secret in Opponents would sit on her and she wouldn t have her best scoring day, but that didn t stop her from having an impact on the game, Smith said. She s very receptive to change and is a true team player. It s amazing how she has come in this year on a mission, recognizing and then solving her shortcomings for the coming year. Classmate Brittany Purr missed nearly half of the schedule due to mononu Leopard Basketball

9 cleosis, but still managed to have a breakout year. The 6-0 Purr gave the Leopards a strong inside presence, pulling down 6.2 rebounds a game to go with her 7.2 scoring average. After a standout start to her rookie campaign, injury also plagued Emily Garner, who suffered a concussion and a fractured orbital bone midway through the season. Smith said Garner is cleared to go and will be counted on immediately. Garner averaged 5.8 rebounds per game, including a season-high 10 versus Fairleigh Dickinson (12/21), over her first 11 games in a Lafayette uniform. A pair of highly touted freshmen in center Amanda Smith and power forward Brooke Niquette will also vie for minutes. A 6-3 product from Las Vegas, Nev., Smith averaged a double-double as a senior captain at Coronado High School. She set school records in points (1,084), rebounds (784), and blocked shots (171) in her career as a three-year starter. Niquette comes to Lafayette as one of the top female players in Vermont, bringing a 6-2 stature with her. A first-team all-state honoree, Niquette recorded 909 points, 843 rebounds and 289 blocks in her career. She was nominated as a McDonald s All-American and was a state finalist for the Wendy's High School Heisman. Both post players have the potential to contribute right off the bat, but making a smooth transition to the Division I level will be crucial. Smith anticipates the freshmen will shake their inexperience during the non-conference slate and be ready for significant playing time at the start of the Patriot League schedule. Once our freshmen class becomes more acclimated to the college game and our offensive schemes, their value will increase, Smith said. The Coaches Smith enters her sixth season with the Leopards, the fourth-longest tenure of any Patriot League head coach, and is on the cusp of returning the program to prominence. Smith has more than doubled her win total since her first season in , when she became just the fourth coach in the program s history. Murphy has been by Smith s side for all five years of her tenure, while spending eight total seasons with the Leopards program. Lafayette added Downingtown, Pa. native Jen Wedo as its second assistant, while Margo Connors embarks on her second season as the third assistant on the Leopards staff. The Schedule A balanced schedule both in and out of the conference awaits Lafayette in The Leopards longest home stand is three games, while the longest road stretch is two, including a pair of season-opening games at St. Francis (N.Y.) on Nov. 12 and Mount St. Mary s on Nov. 15. Lafayette s home-opener on Nov. 18 against Cornell caps a jampacked weekend on College Hill, following the men s home-opener versus Saint Joseph s and the 142nd gridiron meeting between Lafayette and Lehigh. The Leopards return home on Nov. 27 to take on Coppin State, an NCAA Tournament team a year ago, for the first ever meeting between the two schools. A short road trip to Fairleigh Dickinson precedes a three-game home stretch, as Kirby Sports Center is set to host Vermont (12/2), Penn (12/7) and Morgan State (12/12). Lafayette will hit the West Coast for a set of games at UC Davis (12/20) and Pacific (12/22) before breaking for the holidays. The Leopards get back to work with three non-league contests to prepare for the Patriot League opener on Jan. 6 against Holy Cross. An out-of-conference contest with Columbia (1/25) is sandwiched by league bouts at home versus defending champion Army (1/23) and American (12/27) in the span of just four days. Lafayette will celebrate Senior Day against archrival Lehigh on Feb. 17. The Leopards close the regular season with a pair of road games at Army (2/20) and American (2/24) before the Patriot League Tournament begins on March 3 at Navy s Alumni Hall in Annapolis, Md Leopard Basketball

65 05-06 Season REVIEW

66 Season in Review Since head coach Tammy Smith s arrival on College Hill in 2001, she has been determined to return Lafayette to a tradition of winning. Since that time, Smith has been building towards that objective year in and year out, and the season was no exception. A young, undersized Leopard squad went 8-20 a year ago, marking the most wins the program has posted in seven years and the most victories in the Smith era. Three of Lafayette s wins came within an increasingly competitive Patriot League. A pair of marquee victories at home over archrival Lehigh and league powerhouse Holy Cross preceded a solid triumph over American on Senior Day, highlighting a tough league slate for the Maroon and White. Lafayette depended on the maturity and leadership of its senior class, as Lindsay Myers, Kristin Doherty and Katie Kokolus filled roles as captains throughout the season. Junior point guard Kara Stetler led Lafayette, pouring in 10.2 points a game while setting new single-season records in triples and three-point percentage. Vanessa Van De Venter followed up her Patriot League All-Rookie season with a respectable sophomore campaign in which she ranked second on the team in scoring and rebounding. Classmate Brittany Purr enjoyed a breakout season despite missing the first seven league contests with mononucleosis. The sixfoot forward hauled in 6.2 boards a contest. Lafayette came away with a decisive win over Wagner in the season-opener for both clubs on Nov. 19 at Kirby Sports Center. The Leopards held Wagner without a field goal for the first 8:56 of the game and never trailed the Seahawks. Wagner pulled within with 7:07 remaining, but an 11-3 Lafayette run provided enough distance for the Leopards Val Gomez led Lafayette with 14 points, while Purr pulled down nine boards and Myers dished out a season-high seven assists in the win. Lafayette welcomed St. Francis (N.Y.) to College Hill on Nov. 23 and greeted the Terriers with a win behind a careerhigh 15-point, eight-rebound effort from Purr. Free throw shooting proved to be the difference, as Van De Venter, Purr, Gomez and Myers combined to help the Leopards hit 15-of-16 from the stripe. St. Francis converted just 5-of-18 attempts from the line. Lafayette trailed at the break, but showed its ability to defend and recover in the five-point victory. Just two days later, Lafayette made a trip to the Big Apple to participate in Long Island University s Turkey Classic from Nov Momentum continued for the Leopards in their first test against host Long Island, as Van De Venter s double-double (16 points, 12 rebounds) keyed Lafayette to a win at the Blackbirds Schwartz Complex. For the first time since , the Leopards were off to a 3-0 start to the season, while the team earned its first road victory since Feb. 4, 2005 at Bucknell. The following afternoon, Lafayette took on James Madison and the Dukes dealt Lafayette its first loss of the season, despite another double-digit effort from Van De Venter, who along with Purr collected All- Tournament Team accolades. Lafayette s hot start to the season soon cooled off, as the Leopards dropped four straight after the James Madison loss. A setback to Buffalo on Nov. 30 was the first loss of at home. Again Van De Venter and Purr did their part, coming away with 16 points and a career-high 10 boards, respectively. From there, Lafayette embarked on a three-game road trip heading into final exams. The Leopards faced their first overtime test at Howard, but came up on the short end of an double-overtime decision. In a back-and-forth contest, there were 15 lead changes and nine ties in regulation. The Leopards final lead came with on the clock, thanks to a long-range basket from freshmen guard Jessica Spicer. The Bison then forced a second overtime, tying the game at 77 all. Howard s Shannon Carlisle took over from there, scoring nine of her 18 points in the second OT to secure the victory. The loss overshadowed a career-high 21 points from Myers. Lafayette suffered setbacks at Radford and UMBC before bouncing back in style with a win over Fairleigh Dickinson on Dec. 21. After an 11-day break for final exams, Lafayette scored 56 points in the second half after totaling just 15 in the opening period to run away with a win over the Knights, due in large part to the first career double-double efforts of Myers (15 points, 11 rebounds) and freshman Emily Garner (13 points, 10 rebounds). Stetler and Van De Venter chipped in with 13 and 10 points, respectively. Garner picked up Patriot League Rookie of the Week honors following her performance against FDU. After the Leopards headed home for the holidays, it was back to the grind at Dartmouth s Blue Sky Restaurant Group Invitational Dec Lafayette never came up against host Dartmouth, but could not overcome Loyola Marymount or Akron to close out Stetler poured in 20 points, including six three-pointers, in a heartbreaking loss to Akron and was named to the All-Tournament Team. In its first game of the New Year and final tune-up before Patriot League action, Lafayette dropped a loss at Princeton on Jan. 3. Turnovers plagued the Leopards all night, but the team was able to slice into a deficit with a 9-0 run by holding Princeton scoreless for five and a half minutes in the middle of the second half. However, the Tigers responded a 12-0 stretch of their own to put the game out of reach. Van De Venter completed her seventh doublefigure game of the season with a team-high 13 points. On Jan. 7, Lafayette opened Patriot League play on the road at Holy Cross in what would be the team s worst loss of the season. The Leopards then returned to their home court to host Colgate just three days later. The Leopards enjoyed a much better showing, despite succumbing to a loss. Van De Venter poured in a career-high 26 points, accounting for 46 percent of the team s total scoring output. She also registered a team-high six caroms. The following Saturday, Lafayette pushed league foe Navy to overtime but again came up just short in a decision. Gomez sent the game into overtime at 62-all with a three-pointer with 6.8 seconds remaining in regulation, but a 7-0 spurt late in the extra session propelled Navy to the win. Van De Venter led the Leopards in scoring and rebounds for the second of three straight outings, managing 17 points to complement her nine boards Leopard Basketball

67 Two straight wins followed, as the Leopards knocked off Penn in Philadelphia and archrival Lehigh for their first league victory of the year. Lafayette traveled to the historic Palestra on Jan. 19 and ground out a win over the Quakers. A lay-up by Myers broke a tie with 48 seconds left, and Van De Venter and Stetler each made both ends of a one-and-one in the final seconds to secure the Leopards fifth win of the season and match the previous year s win total only midway through the schedule. The Leopards returned to College Hill two days later to host Lehigh in front of a 1,132 crowd at Kirby Sports Center. Doherty buried three shots from long range late in the second half and tied her careerhigh with 21 points to lead Lafayette to a win. Lafayette surrendered just two turnovers in the second half and nine in the game after turning the ball over only 11 times at Penn. The Leopards had 15 assists for the second straight game, led by four from Gomez. Riding high after back-to-back wins, the Leopards struggled through three consecutive road losses, falling to eventual league champion Army, American and Bucknell all within the span of eight days. Lafayette rebounded in a hurry in perhaps the most shocking result around the league all season, as the Leopards stunned defending Patriot League champion Holy Cross, 54-49, on Feb. 4. Lafayette scored 12 straight points while holding the Crusaders scoreless for over six minutes in the middle of the second half en route to its first win over Holy Cross since The Leopards also achieved the distinction of keeping Holy Cross to its lowest scoring output (49) since the inception of the Patriot League in Myers led the Leopards with 17 points and Stetler pitched in with 14. Both players grabbed seven rebounds to help Lafayette to a margin on the glass, its first rebounding advantage against a league opponent of the season. A pair of losses at Colgate and Navy ensued before the Leopards hosted Bucknell on Valentine s Day. The Bison escaped College Hill with a win over Lafayette. Bucknell watched two three-pointers bounce harmlessly off the rim in the final five seconds, first from Doherty and then Myers at the buzzer, before breathing a sigh of relief. Doherty led the Pards with 12 points all of the three-point variety to go with Myers ten. Lafayette made the 15-mile trip to South Mountain to square off with Lehigh three days later. The result was a Leopard defeat, in spite of Stetler s (11 points) fourth double-digit output in five games. The Leopards hosted Army on Feb. 21 and were unable to combat the Knights, who clinched the No. 1 seed in the Patriot League Tournament with the win. Lafayette s seniors put on a show in their final game at Kirby Sports Center. Myers, Doherty and Kokolus combined for 39 points, leading the Leopards to a victory over American in the final regular season game. Kokolus made her second start of the season, scoring 13 points, including 5- of-6 from the charity stripe. The tri-captain overcame a wealth of injuries throughout her career, only to battle back to contribute as a senior. The Leopards led over American at the break, but came out gunning early in the second, establishing a lead on a Doherty jumper with 14:54 remaining. Lafayette held a edge with a minute to go and sealed the win at the free throw line. Doherty and Stetler each registered a pair, while Kokolus converted the front end. The Leopards extended their home finale win streak to four games. Lafayette faced off against Army for the second time in nine days in the opening round of the Patriot League Tournament at West Point, N.Y.

Army led by as many as 24 (44-20) before the Leopards closed the gap, scoring the next 11 points. Senior Kristin Doherty did most of the damage, sinking three straight triples to bring Lafayette within Enright threw in a 25-footer at the buzzer to end the run and give the Black Knights a halftime advantage. A three-pointer by Kara Stetler, two free throws by Katie Kokolus and another three by Jessica Spicer helped Lafayette reduce the deficit to just under five minutes into the second half. Army responded with the next nine points, and Lafayette never got closer than 14 the rest of the way.
