Jungemann Resigns As Women's Soccer Coach

Wed, 24 Apr 2013 14:24:00 GMT

MIAMI SHORES,Fla.—Director of athletics Michael L. Covone announced today that Fred Jungemann has resigned as head women’s soccer coach at Barry University.

“I would like to thank Barry University and Mike Covone for the opportunity to lead the women's soccer program for the last six seasons,” Jungemann said. “I would also like to thank Dr. (Darlene) Kluka, the athletic department staff, and my fellow coaches. Their friendship, support, and guidance will always be an important part of my Barry experience. Lastly, I would like to thank my assistant coach Denise Brolly and all of the players for their hard work and dedication to the program over these past six seasons. I wish them the best of luck in the future, and will miss them all dearly.”

Jungemann directed the Buccaneers to a 44-54-4 mark over six years at the helm. The Bucs earned an NCAA Regional bid in 2012, the first under Jungemann and 19^th overall in program history.

Jungemann leaves Barry to take over the men’s soccer program at Humboldt State. He takes over for Christian Johnson who left the Lumberjacks to take a position at California State-Bakersfield as an assistant with the women’s program.

The Buccaneers will begin a national search for his replacement immediately.

SSC Posts Top Division II ASR for 6th Straight Year

Mon, 28 Jan 2013 16:11:00 GMT

GRAPEVNE, Texas -- For the sixth consecutive year, the Sunshine State Conference has posted the top NCAA Division II Academic Success Rate.

The Academic Success Rate for all 23 Division II conferences was released at the NCAA Convention, which was held in Grapevine, Texas, Jan. 16-19. SSC member institutions posted an ASR of 86 percent to again lead all conferences. The Northeast-10 Conference placed second in the rankings with an ASR of 85 percent. The leagues have claimed the top two spots in the conference-by-conference comparison each year since the ASR performance rankings were first released in January 2008.

"We are very excited to again receive the distinction of having the highest ASR rate of any Division II conference," SSC Commissioner Jay Jones said. "This is a special honor for our coaches, student-athletes and administrators and it speaks to the value that our member schools put on success in the classroom. They work hard to maintain this distinction year after year and we are very proud of those efforts."

Data for the 2012 version of the ASR was compiled by following the progress of the 2002-05 cohort. The national four-year ASR for all DII student-athletes remained steady at 72 percent. SSC student-athletes performed well above that average with a composite ASR of 86. All told, 89 percent of the 123 teams that were counted for SSC member institutions exceeding the national average of 72.

A number of SSC teams posted a perfect 100 percent Academic Success Rate, and each member institution had at least one program achieve a perfect mark. They included:

- Barry softball;
- Eckerd softball;
- Florida Tech men's golf, women's golf, women's tennis, and men's track;
- Florida Southern men's tennis, women's tennis, and softball;
- Lynn men's basketball, women's golf, softball, men's tennis, and volleyball;
- Nova Southeastern women's golf;
- Rollins men's swimming, women's swimming, women's basketball, women's soccer, volleyball, women's tennis, men's track, and women's track;
- Saint Leo women's tennis; and
- Tampa women's tennis.

Along with the Division I Graduation Success Rate (GSR), the ASR is a tool used by the NCAA to measure the academic progress of student-athletes competing within the Association. The NCAA developed the Division II ASR at the request of college and university presidents who believed the federal graduation rate was flawed. Both the Division I GSR and the DII ASR take into account transfer students. However, given the partial-scholarship model of Division II, the ASR also includes student-athletes not receiving athletically-related financial aid. The ASR also removes students from the cohort who left the institution while academically eligible to compete.

Top Ten NCAA Division II ASR Conferences
1. Sunshine State Conference - 86%
2. Northeast-10 Conference - 85%
3. Great Lakes Valley Conference - 80%
4. Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference - 78%
5. Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference - 77%
T6. East Coast Conference - 75%
T6. Great Northwest Athletic Conference - 75%
8. Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference - 74%
9. Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference - 73%
T10. Conference Carolinas - 72%
T10. Pacific West Conference - 72%

Women's Soccer Puts Three On All-Region Teams

Wed, 05 Dec 2012 15:52:00 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Kan.—A trio of Barry Buccaneers earned All-South Region honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America this year, including midfielder Sara Karna and forward Emma Karp who made the second team. Midfielder Lavinia Nkomo was named to the third team.

Karp and Karna tied for the team scoring lead. Each produced four goals and four assists for 12 points. Karp booted game-winning goals against Palm Beach Atlantic and Saint Leo, while Karna notched her game-winner against Florida Southern.

For Karp, it was her third straight year making the All-Region team. She was a first-team pick as a freshman and second-team as a sophomore. For Karna, it was her first award.

Freshman Nkomo was named to the third team after tying Karp and Karna for the team lead with four assists. Her one goal came in a 2-0 win over Saint Leo on Oct. 10.

The Bucs finished 7-7-2 and earned a berth in the NCAA Tournament for the first time under head coach Fred Jungemann. They have 16 letterwinners, including seven who started at lead 10 games, returning in 2013.

Women’s Soccer Falls To Tampa In South Region Tournament

Fri, 09 Nov 2012 21:48:00 GMT

WINTER PARK, Fla. – Barry University’s women’s soccer team fell to No. 21 Tampa Friday night in the opening round of the NCAA South Region Tournament, 1-0.

Barry (7-7-2, 3-4-1 SSC) played a well fought match, and it seems clear that head coach Fred Jungemann has his team heading in the right direction. In their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2005, the Bucs drew a familiar foe in Tampa.

The Spartans (14-3-4, 5-1-2 SSC) were aggressive from the opening whistle and held an 11-2 shot advantage in the first half alone. A resilient bunch, the Buccaneers continued to fight, as they have throughout the season, in order to create opportunities. Unfortunately, on this night the ball did not roll the Bucs’ way.

In the 18^th minute, SSC Player of the Year Lauren Moore put Tampa on the board with her 18^th goal of the season.

In the second half, the Bucs knocked on the door, but were not able to find the equalizer, losing to the Spartans for the third time this season. Tampa entered the match unbeaten in their last nine contests, going 5-0-4 throughout the stretch.

Goalkeeper Becca Rogers finished the match with six saves, and the Bucs were shut out for the first time all season.

Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:44:00 GMT

WINTER PARK, Fla. – Barry University women’s soccer team returns to postseason action for the first time since 2005 this Friday when they face No. 21 Tampa at Barker Family Stadium in the first-round of the NCAA Division II South Region Tournament.

For the Buccaneers, (7-6-2, 3-4-1 SSC) it’s been a season filled with highs and lows, and although decimated by injuries, this resilient group battled down the stretch to earn an at-large bid into the tournament.

Awaiting the Buccaneers is a familiar foe in Tampa. The Buccaneers suffered a pair of losses to the Spartans (13-3-4, 5-1-2 SSC) in the regular season during a difficult five-game losing streak in middle of the year. However, the Bucs re-grouped to win four of their final six matches going 4-0-2 down the stretch to make a final push towards the postseason.

Barry’s last appearance in the NCAA Tournament resulted in a 3-1 loss at the hands of the Spartans.

Women's Soccer Ends Regular Season With 1-1 Draw

Sat, 27 Oct 2012 20:37:00 GMT

MIAMI SHORES, Fla.—The regular season ended in a 1-1 tie for the Barry Buccaneers against the Eckerd Tritons at Buccaneer Field on Saturday night.

The Bucs (7-6-2) got on the board almost immediately. Just 0:10 seconds into the game, Katie Lamendola took the kick off and fed a ball through the center of the Triton defense to Sarah Wolfer who connected for her third goal of the season.

The goal is tied for the third-fastest goal from the start of a game in NCAA Division II history. Michelle Rutigliano of C.W. Post scored :10 seconds into the contest against Queens of New York on Oct. 9, 1999. The record belongs to Jennifer Prior of Saginaw Valley State against Rochester College on Sept. 24, 2003. Wolfer’s goal is a Sunshine State Conference record, coming one second faster than Katie Katzmark of Lynn against Francis Marion on Oct. 3, 1998.

The lead held up through the half, but could have been more. In in the 24^th minute after a Katrina Molfetta corner kick, Emma Karp had a header that beat Triton keeper Morgan Cresent, but Elena Madrazo was there at the near post to knock it away. Sofia Jakobsson grabbed the rebound and tried to slip a shot past, but Madrazo was there again to make the team save.

In the second half after a foul, the Tritons’ Devon Morse lofted a free kick to the far post and Adrianna Garcia was there with her head to knock a shot back across off the near post for the equalizer. Neither team could crack the goal line, despite two overtime periods.

Cressent had 10 saves for Eckerd (9-6-3) and Madrazo added her two. Becca Rogers had two saves for the Bucs who held a 31-9 edge in shots.

Though the Bucs will miss out on the SSC Tournament, they still have a shot at the NCAA Tournament when bids are announced on Oct. 4.

Late Goal Lifts Women's Soccer Over Mocs

Wed, 17 Oct 2012 21:52:00 GMT

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – Barry University women’s soccer team defeated Florida Southern Wednesday night, 1-0, in a hard fought match between two SSC foes.

The Mocs (5-6-2, 3-2-1 SSC) entered the match without a loss in their last six contests with a 4-0-2 record throughout the stretch.

In the first half, neither team saw great scoring opportunities and the game quickly turned into a defensive battle in the middle.

The Buccaneers (5-6-1, 2-4-1 SSC) held a slight advantage in shots, 5-3, in the first half but the match was knotted at zero after one period of play.

In the second half the Buccaneers broke through in the 77^th minute when Lauren Manna slipped a pass behind the Mocs’ line to find a slashing Sara Karna. With just the keeper to beat, Karna fired a shot past Mocs’ goalkeeper Erin Moseley into the upper-left corner to break the scoreless tie.

However, the following thirteen minutes of play did not come easy as Florida Southern regained its composure and put together several attacks that would test the Bucs defense.

Fortunately, Barry goalkeeper Becca Rodgers and the Buccaneers were up to the task. Rodgers made six of her seven saves in the second half and was assisted by a pair of team saves to preserve the shutout. The Bucs handed Florida Southern their first loss since September 19^th.

The Buccaneers will hit the road for a pair of games before returning home for the regular season finale. Barry faces Florida Tech on Saturday, Oct. 20^th with kickoff scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Live-stat and audio broadcast will be available through the Barry University athletics website, GOBARRYBUCS.COM.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla.—The Barry Buccaneers dropped a 2-1 decision to the Lynn Fighting Knights on Wednesday afternoon in a game postponed from Tuesday night.

Things looked bright for the Bucs (3-2-0, 1-1-0 SSC) as Lauren Manna got them on the board in the third minute. Emma Karp played the ball across the top of the 18-yard box and Manna received it and turned on Lynn defender Lauren Handley to rip a shot into the upper right corner.

Barry could not capitalize on a preponderance of possession, spending the vast majority of the game with the ball on Lynn’s side of the field.

Linzi Martin knotted the game at 1-1 in the 16^th minute after Barry failed to clear the ball out of the back.

The game stayed tied through the break, though Manna narrowly missed giving the Bucs a lead in the 41^st minute when her header went off the crossbar.

In the second half, the Bucs were whistled for a foul about 40 yards out and Handley’s service into the area could not be cleared before Jackie Hellet pounced on it to put the Knights up 2-1 in the 61^st minute.

Becca Rogers made seven saves for the Bucs, while Megan Dolan had two for the Knights. Barry out-shot Lynn 19-15.

The Bucs travel to Pepin Stadium on Saturday to face the Tampa Spartans.

Women's Soccer Rallies Past Lions To Open SSC Play

Sat, 15 Sep 2012 19:53:00 GMT

ST. LEO, Fla.—The Barry Buccaneers saw their 272 minute scoreless streak end, but got goals from Morgan Garcia and Lauren Manna to defeat the Saint Leo Lions in their Sunshine State Conference women’s soccer opener at University Field on Saturday.

Despite leading 14-4 in shots in the first half, the Buccaneers (3-1-0, 1-0-0 SSC) were held scoreless for the first 44 minutes. But with less than a minute left to go before halftime, Barry forward Kayla Hodge ripped a shot that rebounded off of Saint Leo goalkeeper Abby Evans and Morgan Garcia was there to knock in the rebound for a 1-0 halftime lead.

The Lions (2-4-0, 1-1-0 SSC) evened the match in the 63^rd minute when Shanelle Edwards sent an unassisted goal past the fingers of the Barry goalkeeper, Becca Rogers to snap a scoreless streak that stretched back the first game of the season.

Barry continued to keep pushing, however, and took the lead back with 11 minutes left in the game as forward Emma Karp assisted Lauren Manna, who connected with the ball and sent a shot past the diving Evans.

The Bucs held a 20-7 edge in shots, including a whopping 14-3 in shots on goal, and led 11-3 in corners. Evans made nine saves for the Lions and got help from her defense which saved three more. Rogers made two saves for the Bucs.

After a season-opening loss, the Bucs have now won three straight.

The Bucs host their arch-rivals, the Lynn Fighting Knights, on Tuesday, Sept. 18 at 7:00 pm as Barry kicks off Rivalry Week. The men’s team faces the Knights on Wednesday, while the volleyball team hosts Lynn on Sept. 25.

Collins Advances To Top-9 In Woman of the Year Competition

Thu, 13 Sep 2012 13:09:00 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS—Barry’s Grace Collins advanced to the top-three in Division II for NCAA Woman of the Year on Thursday.

The softball star joins runner Kate Griewisch of Lenoir-Rhyne and tennis player Verena Preikschas of California State Stanislaus as the honorees from Division II.

During her time at Barry, Collins made an impact on her school and the community around her. Collins served as vice president for the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and traveled to Nashville to assist with relief of the 2010 flood. She was a committee chair for Make-A-Wish Walk for Wishes, America’s Moms For Soldiers and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

A four-time National Fastpitch Coaches Association Scholar Athlete, she was named to the academic all-district team in 2011. She was the first student-athlete to win the Barry University President’s Award, which is presented to the most outstanding senior. In 2012, Collins received the university’s Excellence in Leadership Award.

Collins was named NFCA first-team All-South Region and was a first-team All-American in 2011. She also earned first-team all-region and third-team All-America honors through Daktronics as both a junior and a senior. She also received Sunshine State Conference first-team accolades in 2011 and 2012.

“Collegiate athletics has taught me the importance of determination, hard work and undying passion,” Collins said in her personal statement. “In life, everyone feels adrenaline and stress, makes mistakes and some successful strides. But it is those who learn to excel through adversity, manage stress, turn mistakes into learned lessons and handle achievements with humility who will ultimately succeed in the future. Collegiate athletics has empowered me with this competitive edge to not only handle any situation but to conquer it successfully.”

The three Division II finalists are joined by the Division I group (Hillary Bach, Arizona State, softball; Brooke Pancake, Alabama, golf and Alexi Pappas, Dartmouth, cross country/track) and the Division III group (Kelsey Kittleson, Luther, softball; Sarah Jane Otey, Coast Guard, rowing/swimming and Elizabeth Phillips, Washington-St. Louis, cross country/track) to form the top-9 finalists.

The nine finalists, along with the other honorees who made the Top 30, will be invited to Indianapolis for the Woman of the Year festivities. The award weekend (Oct. 12-14) will include a community service project that gives honorees the opportunity to interact with young girls in the city of Indianapolis and serve as role models for them. The NCAA will also host a reception in their honor.

The NCAA’s Woman of the Year Award, now in its 22nd year, honors female student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in academic achievement, athletic excellence, community service and leadership. Every NCAA member institution is encouraged to honor its top graduating female student-athlete by submitting her name for consideration. Each conference assesses the eligibility of its members’ nominees and selects at least one student-athlete to represent the conference.

To be eligible for the award, a female student-athlete must have completed eligibility in her primary sport by the end of the 2012 spring season, graduated no later than the end of the summer 2012 term and achieved a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.5. The NCAA Committee on Women’s Athletics selects the national winner from the nine finalists.

Women's Soccer Gets First Win In Shutout Of Sailfish

Sat, 08 Sep 2012 19:48:00 GMT

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.—The Barry Buccaneers picked up their first in of the women’s soccer season with a 2-0 victory over the Palm Beach Atlantic Sailfish at Magic Jack Field on Saturday.

Emma Karp scored twice and the Buccaneer defense led by keeper Becca Rogers and defender Tamara Vuckovich pitched their first shutout of the season.

Karp got the Bucs (1-1-0) on the board in the first half with 19:01 gone. Katrina Molfetta drove a ball up the right wing and crossed it to Karp about 30 yards out. Karp spun to her left and ripped a shot past Sailfish keeper Allison Fox and Barry carried the advantage into halftime.

Still leading 1-0, the Bucs faced down PBA’s best scoring chance about 13 minutes into the period. Juliet Waller broke free up the middle of the Buccaneer defense for a one-on-one chance against Rogers. Rogers burst off her line and just got a glove on the ball to knock it away and, as she scrambled to her feet, Kasey Wyer tried to chip the ball to the far post over Rogers head. But Vuckovich was there to head the ball away and preserve the shutout.

About 12 minutes later, Karp got a feed from Melissa Madrid and reprised her first half goal with another spin move that freed her up for shot to the far post and a 2-0 lead.

Rogers picked up the win and her first career shutout with four saves and the one by Vuckovich, while Fox had six saves for the Sailfish (2-1-0). Barry held a 21-9 edge in shots and 5-1 in corners.

The Bucs will open up the home portion of their schedule on Monday, Sept 10 at 7:00 pm as they host the St. Thomas Bobcats.

Collins Named Finalist For NCAA Woman of the Year

Tue, 28 Aug 2012 10:45:00 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS -- Former Barry University softball player Grace Collins was named a Top 30 finalist for NCAA Woman of the Year.

The finalists, comprised of 10 female student-athletes from each of the NCAA’s three divisions, will be trimmed to nine, representing three from each division in September. All 30 finalists are invited to the NCAA Woman of the Year banquet in Indianapolis.

Collins, a Tampa native who graduated in May with a 3.871 grade point average, earning a dual degree in history and philosophy in the honors program, became the eighth Buccaneer to be chosen as a Top 30 finalist. Barry’s eight finalists are the most for a Division II institution for the prestigious female student-athlete award.

She is the third Barry student-athlete to represent the Sunshine State Conference as the league’s recipient. Last year, Bucs women’s tennis player Barbi Pocza received the honor. In 2006, women’s tennis player Greta Trotman was the SSC’s recipient. Prior to the conference nominating format, Barry had five student-athletes chosen as Florida’s representative when the award process was broken down by states. The eight finalists are tied with the University of Georgia for the most in the program and are the most by a Division II school.

Collins became the first Barry student-athlete to win the school’s President Award as the top graduating senior. She also is a two-time Sr. Jeanne O’Laughlin Community Service Award winner at the school. In the summer, she also won an NCAA post-graduate scholarship, becoming one of 29 female and 29 male spring sports student-athletes to receive $7,500 towards graduate school. She elected to attend the Levin College of Law at the University of Florida.

A four-year starter for the Buccaneers, Collins received All-American honors the past two seasons. She had a .363 career batting average with 229 hits, 64 RBI, 77 stolen bases and 129 runs scored. She ranks in the Top 10 in 11 school career categories. She is first in sacrifice hits (46), second in hits (229), third in at-bats (630), tied for fourth in stolen bases (77), tied for fourth in starts (199), fifth in games played (204), sixth in batting average (.363), sixth in runs (129), eighth in on-base percentage (.410), eighth in total bases (249) and 10^th in stolen base percentage (.875).

As a junior, Collins set a school record with a 19-game hitting streak and led the SSC in batting with a .433 average. She was a National Fastpitch Coaches Association First-Team All-America choice that year. In 2012, she led the team in hitting (.363), runs (31) and stolen bases (29) as Barry advanced to its second straight NCAA Tournament. During her career, the Buccaneers went 138-68.

In her four-year stay in Miami Shores, Collins volunteered with numerous philanthropic organizations, including Make-A-Wish Foundation, Habitat for Humanity and the Miami Children’s Museum. She also spent countless hours with local-organized events, including Barry’s Safe Halloween, Miami Shores Community Fest, Adopt-A-Family Thanksgiving Food Drive and Gobble Wobble Run.

Collins founded the America’s Moms for Soldiers Care Project at Barry, sending monthly care packages to American soldiers, Marines and airmen serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. She served as president of the Phi Sigma Tau philosophy honor society, was a member of the Phi Alpha Theta history honor society and two prestigious national honor societies, Delta Epsilon Sigma and Kappa Gamma Pi. She was also captain of Barry’s Ethics Bowl team.

Vice President of Barry’s Student Athletic Advisory Committee, Collins represented the school and SSC at the NCAA Career in Sports Forum. The Forum is a four-day event at which select student-athletes explore and are educated on careers in sports with a primary focus on intercollegiate athletics. Participants are given an educational opportunity to learn and gain valuable exposure to careers in sports, specifically in areas of coaching, administration and sports entertainment. They examine key functions of a coach or administrator within athletics, including foundational skills such as communication, networking, recruiting, managing culture, transitioning and budgeting. Additionally, the Forum dispels myths about careers in athletics, and facilitates the opportunity to gather information from current and future athletics professionals.

Women's Soccer Closes Preseason With Overtime Win

Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:46:00 GMT

MIAMI SHORES, Fla.—The Barry Buccaneers closed out the women's soccer preseason with a 2-1 overtime win over the Webber Warriors at Buccaneer Field on Friday night.

Rookie Lavinia Nkomo, who scored the game-winner in overtime and assisted Lauren Manna on the game's first goal, was the star of the game for the Bucs.

About midway through the first half, Nkomo found the edge of the Warriors' defense and whipped a cross to Manna in the penalty box and the sophomore continued her torrid play in the preseason by beating Makenzie Vance to the near post.

A defensive miscue by the Bucs in the 63^rd minute let the Warriors even things up. Barry keeper Becca Rogers came out on a challenge, but Brittany Filho-Moore won the race to the ball and set a pass into the center of the field. The Barry defense got a foot on the ball but was unable to clear and Aubrie Strohmenger came flying into the score into the empty net.

In overtime, Dominique Richardson fed Nkomo who juked around a defender and ripped a shot to the far post to end the game.

Rogers had eight saves for the Bucs while Tamara Vuckovich swept a ball off the line. Vance made five stops for the Warriors and also got an assist from one of her backs.

The Bucs open the regular season on Thursday, Aug. 30 at Montevallo.

Women's Soccer Pegged Eighth In SSC Preseason Poll

Wed, 15 Aug 2012 12:32:00 GMT

WINTER PARK, Fla.-- Rollins has been given the nod as the preseason favorite to win the 2012 Sunshine State Conference women’s soccer title, but if the preseason poll proves to be a true indicator of how the season will shape up, competition should be tight in the league this fall.

The top four teams were separated by just 19 points, and each of those squads received first-place votes. The poll was conducted among the league’s head women’s soccer coaches and sports information directors, with the SID votes counting for half as much as the coaches.

Rollins led the poll with 166 points, while collecting three first-place votes. Very close behind was Saint Leo, which placed second with 163 points and nine first-place votes. Tampa took the third spot with 154 points and four first-place nods. Nipping on the Spartans’ heels was Florida Tech with 147 points and two first-place votes.

Lynn gathered 110 points to settle into the No. 5 slot in the poll. Nova Southeastern was sixth with 82 points.

Florida Southern (65), Barry (61), and Eckerd (24) rounded out the poll.

Only five members of the All-SSC First-Team return in 2012 and the Buccaneers have two of them in senior midfielder Melissa Madrid and junior forward Emma Karp. Madrid led the conference with 11 goals and was second with 26 points. Karp chipped in eight goals and seven assists. Both also went on to win first-team All-South Region honors as well.

The Buccaneers open the season with a pair of tough road games in Alabama, facing the Montevallo Falcons of the Peachbelt Conference on Aug. 31 and the North Alabama Lions, who were picked first in the Gulf South Conference, on Sept. 2.

Women's Soccer Primed For 2012 Season

Tue, 03 Jul 2012 16:55:00 GMT

MIAMI SHORES, Fla.—The Barry University women’s soccer schedule, which was released today by head coach Fred Jungemann, comes with a twist ending in 2012.

For the first time since 2002, the conference soccer schedule consists of more than just one-time round-robin play. In 2002, the women’s soccer teams played twice through the league with the Bucs winning the title after going an outstanding 12-0. In 2012, the teams will play a “+ 4” schedule, playing once through the league and then doubling back to play four more games against conference foes. The twist ending? Those four additional games will not count in the conference standings.

“We have had some difficult schedules the last couple of seasons and, this year, things are no different,” Jungemann said. “With the change to the ‘+4’ conference schedule this year, we are faced with playing multiple games against some very strong conference opponents. While every week will present tough competition for us this season, we are confident our depth and talent will help us use the schedule to our advantage. We are looking forward to the start of the season and the challenge of good competition.”

The Bucs kick off the season with a trip to Alabama to face the Montevallo Falcons and the North Alabama Lions on Aug. 31 and Sept. 2 respectively. The Bucs are 3-1 against the Lions and won the only meeting in Florence 5-1 back in 2003. They have never faced the Falcons.

The Bucs face a pair of South Florida rivals on Sept. 7 and 10. They travel up to Magic Jack Stadium to face the Palm Beach Atlantic Sailfish on the seventh, and then host the St. Thomas Bobcats on the 10^th in their home opener at Buccaneer Field. At 8-0 against the Sailfish and a program-best 25-0 against the Bobcats, the Bucs have never lost to either team.

The rest of the season consists entirely of Sunshine State Conference foes, with six games at home and six on the road. The Bucs travel to Saint Leo (Sept. 15), Tampa (Sept. 22), Eckerd (Sept. 29), Nova Southeastern (Oct. 13), Florida Tech (Oct. 20) and Lynn (Oct. 24). They host Lynn (Sept. 18), Tampa (Oct. 2), Rollins (Oct. 6), Saint Leo (Oct. 10), Florida Southern (Oct. 17) and Eckerd (Oct. 27). The Bucs’ “+4” games are at Tampa and Lynn and at home against Saint Leo and Eckerd.

The top six teams earn bids into the SSC Tournament, with the top two seeds getting quarterfinal byes. The quarterfinal round will be played Oct. 30 at the higher seeds, while the semi-finals and finals will be at the top seed on Nov. 2-4. The winner of the league earns an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament that runs from Nov. 8 through Dec. 1.

There are a couple of games to mark on your schedule. On Oct. 6 as the Bucs face off against Rollins, the Bucs celebrate their three national championships and members of all three title teams (1989, 1992, 1993) are invited back for a reunion. On Oct. 27 against Eckerd, the Bucs will honor the 2012 senior class, including 2011 leading scorer Melissa Madrid, four-year starters in Sofia Jakobsson, Katie Lamendola, and key reserves Emily Brunnschweiler and Sarah Wolfer.

Barry Athletics Excels in Classroom

Tue, 12 Jun 2012 10:04:00 GMT

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. — A trend of academic excellence that began more than a decade ago continues for Barry Athletics as the Buccaneers combined to post a 3.237 grade point average in the Spring '12 semester. The term was the 18^th straight in which the department has been above 3.0, and with a 3.268 GPA, it was the 21^st straight with a cumulative GPA above 3.0.

The Bucs set a number of records in the spring. There were 17 undergraduates and one graduate student with a 4.0 GPA, which was a record for both the total and the percentage (9.6 percent) to have a spotless term GPA in the spring. The record-setting group was led by a trio of seniors who each earned their fifth President’s List awards: Anne Fourdraine (women’s golf), Daniel Stapff (men’s golf) and Allie Llaneras (women’s soccer). Sofia Jakobsson (women’s soccer) and Alex Decker (baseball) picked up their third awards, while Ziena Cline (women’s soccer), Joe Conkleton (men’s soccer), Johnny Rodrigues (men’s soccer) and Haley Struthers (women’s soccer) earned their second. The rest of the group, Renee Forcier (rowing), Harold Holness (baseball), Melissa Madrid (women’s soccer), Daniela Murray (women’s golf), Julio Ramos (baseball), Connor Randel (men’s soccer), Julie Stas (women’s tennis) and Kris Wilkinson (men’s soccer), earned their first. Men’s soccer’s Lucas Noboa earned a 4.0 in his first term in graduate school.

“We all are very proud of our student-athletes and their accomplishments this past year both academically & athletically,” Director of Athletics Mike Covone said. “Based on our Academic Success Rates, student achievements, service and collaboration, and team accomplishments on the field, on the water and on the courts, we are fulfilling Barry’s mission while making a difference in the community.”

For the term, 69.5 percent of all student-athletes had a spring term GPA of 3.0 or higher, which topped the mark of 69 percent set in the fall. The previous high before this year was 67.2 percent in the spring of 2010.

Also, 72.5 percent of all student-athletes currently have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, besting the total of 67.8 set in spring of 2011.

The women’s golf team, fresh off a fourth-place finish at the national tournament, continues to lead the program in both term and cumulative GPA. The linksters posted a 3.659 term GPA, and maintain a 3.632 cumulative mark among the seven members of the team. Men’s soccer was second, and best among the men’s teams, with a term mark of 3.496 and a 3.444 cumulative GPA.

“I'm very excited about the outstanding effort and academic show of our student-athletes,” said Maritza Ryder, Assistant Dean of Barry’s School of Human Performance & Leisure Sciences who oversees academic services. “These student-athletes have embraced and exceeded a tradition of exemplary academic performance.

"Setting a strong standard for excellence and consistently emphasizing its importance for the good of the student-athletes and their futures creates a culture for achievement and sets a standard for our work each day. I'm thrilled for the student-athletes in their academic and athletic performances, and am very thankful for the intentional and collective efforts of our ECA, faculty, advisors, coaches, administrators, tutors and staff that supports these young folks reach their life and college goals.”

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 22:29:00 GMT

DAVIE, Fla. — The Barry University Athletic Department celebrated its 28^th Annual Awards Banquet on Thursday, April 26 at the Signature Grand in Davie, Fla. Awards were presented to athletes from every sport.

Senior Mark Anderson (Men’s Soccer) was named the 2012 Male Athlete of the Year. Anderson was named Daktronics National Player of the Year and CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year to go along with First-Team All-American honors with both Daktronics and NSCAA. His accolades also included Sunshine State Conference Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year, and South Region Player of the year. This fall, Anderson led the SSC in goals and points with 21 goals and 46 points. He ranked second in the country in total goals and fourth in goals per game. Anderson went on to set the Barry record for goals in a season and finished his career second on the all-time list with 58 goals.

Senior Brianna Smith was named the 2012 Female Athlete of the Year. Smith has led the Buccaneers to 37-9 mark, including a 16-5 conference record. She earned All-Conference, All-Region and Second-Team All-America in 2011, and is currently tied for fifth in the nation with 13 shutouts. This season, Smith leads the team with a 20-5 record and 1.28 ERA, and she is also second on the team with three homers, and is hitting .293 with 17 runs scored and 21 RBI. Of her 13 shutouts, five have been 1-0 victories. She currently ranks in the top 10 in strikeouts, shutouts, complete games and wins for her career.

The Professor Neill Miller Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award was given to the male and female student-athletes with the highest cumulative GPA meeting specific criteria for academic progress and athletic participation.

Daniel Stapff received the men’s award for the third consecutive year, and kept it on the men’s golf team for the fourth year. Stapff, a senior, carries a 3.918 in finance. Stapff was named SSC Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2010 and 2011 as well as Cleveland Golf/Srixon Scholar All-America and was named South Region Scholar Athlete of the Year in 2011. This season, Stapff has six top 10 finishes that includes a first place finish at the St. Edward’s Invitational.

Senior Grace Collins of the softball team earned the award on the women’s side. Collins has a 3.859 as double major in philosophy and history. This year, Collins received the prestigious President’s Award presented each year to a senior who has demonstrated outstanding service and leadership for the benefit of the Barry University Community during his or her career at Barry. Aside from her academic success, Collins has volunteered with numerous philanthropic organizations, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Habitat for Humanity and the Miami Children’s Museum. Collins has spent countless hours involved with Barry-organized events as well. She has taken part in Barry’s Safe Halloween, Miami Shores Community Fest, the Adopt-A-Family Thanksgiving Food Drive and the Gobble Wobble run.

The women’s soccer team wrested the CHAMPS/Lifeskills trophy away from the softball for the first time in four years. Softball finished second, while the women’s golf team placed third.

Collins also won the Sister Jeanne O’Laughlin Community Service Award for the second year in a row -- the first back-to-back winner in the history of the award. Collins shared the award with women’s soccer’s Haley Struthers last year. Collins initiated the America’s Moms for Solders Care Project at Barry, sending monthly care packages to American soldiers, Marines and airmen serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. She is president of the Phi Sigma Tau philosophy honor society, is a member of Phi Alpha Theta history honor society and two prestigious national honor societies – Delta Epsilon Sigma and Kappa Gamma Pi.

Barry's Student-Athletes Reach All-Time Highs in Classroom

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:24:00 GMT

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – Barry University’s athletic teams are scoring at an all-time high in the classroom.

Of the 194 student-athletes enrolled on the NCAA Division II campus north of Miami, 134 recorded grade point averages for the Fall semester at a 3.0 or higher mark. That figure represents 69 percent of the 2011-12 student-athletes enrolled at Barry.

Ten of Barry’s 12 athletic teams had GPAs above a 3.0 during the Fall.

The university’s previous high for student-athletes reaching a 3.0 GPA or higher during the Fall term was 66.8 percent, according to Maritza Ryder, Assistant Dean of the School of Human Performance and Leisure Sciences who oversees academic services for student-athletes. Barry reached the 66.8 percentile in the Fall of 2006 and 2008. In the Spring of 2010, Barry student-athletes recorded GPAs above 3.0 at a 67.2 clip.

Additionally, 67.5 percent of the Buccaneers student-athletes maintained a cumulative GPA at 3.0 or greater through the Fall semester. The cumulative GPA percentage figure during the Fall semester also represents an institution high mark. In the Spring of 2011, 67.8 percent of Barry’s student-athletes had cumulative GPAs above 3.0 – the university’s all-time high for either term.

Of the 194 student-athletes, 5.1 percent had 4.0 GPAs.

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 12:20:00 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Kan.--Melissa Madrid and Emma Karp added to their award haul with all-region picks from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). Madrid was named to the Second-Team as a midfielder, while Karp captured a Third-Team forward slot.

Madrid, a junior, led the Bucs in points with 11 goals and four assists for 26 points. She led the Sunshine State Conference in goals during conference games with seven and had a goal or assist in 10 of the Bucs’ 16 games. She was tied for first in the conference in overall goals and second in points.

Karp, a sophomore, had a goal or assist in nine of the Bucs’ 16 games, including a hat-trick in 6-1 win over Eckerd. She scored five goals in SSC games, two behind Madrid and two more than third place.

Three Buccaneers Tabbed For 2011-12 Class Of SSC Hall of Fame

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:47:00 GMT

WINTER PARK, Fla.—Nine new members are set to be inducted into the Sunshine State Conference Hall of Fame. The Class of 2011-12 will be inducted on Friday, March 2, at The Terrace Hotel in Lakeland, Fla.

Members of the Class of 2011-12 are: Charlotte Campbell (Rollins women’s golf), Nick Diyorio (Florida Southern baseball), Pamela Feggans (Florida Southern women’s golf), Johanna Fischer (Barry women’s soccer), Thomas Hipp (Barry men’s tennis), Allison Macsas (Tampa women’s cross country), Ronnie Merrill, Jr. (Tampa baseball), Aimee Murch (Lynn softball), and Greta Trotman (Barry women’s tennis).

This year’s inductees represent the 20th class to be selected to the SSC Hall of Fame. A total of 170 student-athletes, coaches, and administrators have previously been inducted into the hall since the inaugural class of 1991-92. The addition of Fischer, Hipp and Trotman brings the total of Buccaneers enshrined to 19. They join former president Sister Jeanne O’Laughlin, former director of athletics and dean Dr. G. Jean Cerra, former women’s soccer coaches Michael L. Covone and Kyllene Carter-Weiss and student-athletes Mickisha Hurley, Marya Morusiewicz, Cindy Yuan-Suger, Fernanda Brino (volleyball), Jenny Nilsson-Tecklenberg (women's soccer/rowing), Christian Witt, Herbert Bende (men’s tennis), Stephanie Caldwell, Geralyn Elam (softball), Anna Hallbergson, Victoria Courmes (women’s tennis) and Alen Marcina (men's soccer).

The Sunshine State Conference Hall of Fame was founded in 1991 to honor those persons who have made outstanding contributions to the conference. Its purpose is to perpetuate the memory of those who brought distinction, honor, and excellence to the SSC.

Johanna Fischer – Barry Women’s Soccer (2000-04)

Fischer led the Buccaneers to four straight SSC titles, earning first-team All-SSC each of those years. She led the league in goals against average each of those seasons. Fischer ties for first in SSC history with 40 career shutouts and 14 shutouts in a single season. In 2002, she led NCAA Division II in shutout percentage, posting 14 in 19 matches. She was an NSCAA All-American in 2002 and earned All-South Region honors three times. Fischer led the Bucs to the NCAA tournament each of her four seasons, including a semifinal berth in 2000 and the Elite Eight in 2003. One of her finest outings came in the South Region final in 2003, where she stopped four of five penalty kick shootout attempts against No. 1-ranked and defending national champion Christian Brothers to send BU to the NCAA quarterfinals. Fischer concluded her career with a 0.70 goals against average, 58 wins, and a .815 winning percentage. She was also impressive in the classroom, earning a spot on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll each of her four years.

Thomas Hipp – Barry Men’s Tennis (2002-06)

Hipp was a three-time ITA All-American in both singles and doubles. He collected All-SSC first-team singles recognition four times and was a three-time first-team doubles honoree. In 2006, Hipp was named SSC Men’s Tennis Player of the Year, having won Freshman of the Year accolades in his debut season in 2003. He led Barry to the SSC title in 2003 and 2005. He still holds the Barry record for wins in both singles (67) and doubles (78). Hipp was named ITA Southeast Region Senior Player of the Year in 2006. He was an ITA National Doubles Champion in 2005 and won the ITA Regional Doubles Championship in both 2004 and 2005. Hipp’s academic performance was every bit as impressive as his work on the tennis court. He was a four-time member of the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and ITA Scholar All-American list. He was a CoSIDA Academic All-America selection in 2005 and 2006. Hipp was named SSC Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2004-05 and SSC Male Athlete of the Year in 2005-06. He is the only male student-athlete in conference history to earn both awards.

Greta Trotman – Barry Women’s Tennis (2002-06)

Trotman is one of the most decorated student-athletes in Barry athletics history. A four-time All-SSC first-team singles selection, she was named SSC Women’s Tennis Player of the Year in 2005. She also twice earned All-SSC doubles recognition, collecting first-team accolades in 2003. Trotman led the Buccaneers to four NCAA tournament appearances, including a trip to the national title match in 2003. Along the way, she was twice named ITA All-American in singles. She was tabbed ITA Southeast Region Senior Player of the Year in 2006. Trotman still holds the BU career record for singles wins (73) and ties for career doubles victories (76). Perhaps her most impressive accomplishments occurred away from the courts, where she excelled as a student. Trotman is one of only two female student-athletes to win back-to-back SSC Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors, claiming the award in 2004-05 and 2005-06. She was also a CoSIDA Academic All-America selection and the Conference Commissioners Association South Region Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year each of those seasons. She garnered ITA Scholar All-American and SSC Commissioner’s Honor Roll distinction four straight years. In 2006, Trotman was a Top-Nine finalist for the NCAA’s prestigious NCAA Woman of the Year award.
