History 

Yale University, founded in 1701, is the third oldest 

college in the United States and one of the foremost research 

universities in the world. First known as the Collegiate 

School, it changed its name in 1718 to honor 

benefactor Elihu Yale. 

Students 

Since its first class, which had only one pupil, 

Yale has expanded into a university with 5,100 undergraduates 

and 11 graduate and professional 

schools with roughly 5,200 students. Women were 

admitted to graduate schools in 1892 and to the 

undergraduate college in 1969. Today they make 

up about 50 percent of the enrollment. Students 

come from all 50 states and over 60 countries. 

Faculty 

The Yale faculty includes more than 2,000 

scholars, many of whom are internationally respected 

authorities in their fields. Fourteen Nobel 

Prize winners have been associated with Yale. 

Classes 

There are approximately 1,900 courses and 

75 majors or programs of study, including 35 

different languages. 

Admissions 

In selecting a class of 1,300 from approximately 

18,000 applicants, the Admissions 

Committee looks for strong academic ability 

and achievement combined with personal 

characteristics such as motivation, curiosity, 

energy, and leadership ability. Academic 

strength is indicated by grades, rigor of curriculum, 

standardized test scores, and evaluations 

by two teachers and a college counselor. 

Yale requires results of the College Board 

Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT or SAT 1) 

and any three SAT II: Subject Tests or the 

American College Testing (ACT) Assessment. 

Yale will also accept the Common Application. 

In addition, students whose native language 

is not English must submit results of the Test 

of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). 

Athletics 

With 35 varsity sports teams and a large 

intramural program, sports have a prominent 

place at Yale. The University offers more than 

500 acres of playing fields and nine-story 

Payne Whitney Gym, one of the largest athletic 

structures in the world. No university 

takes greater pride in its athletic heritage. 

No fewer than 148 athletes have competed 

in the Olympics. Together they have brought 

home 88 medals - more than most nations 

- including 49 gold, 15 silver and 24 bronze. 

Financial Aid 

It is Yale’s policy to admit all students 

on the basis of academic and personal 

promise without regard to their financial 

circumstances. In addition, the 

University is committed to meeting 

the full need of all admitted students 

by providing them with appropriate 

financial aid awards. This “needblind” 

admissions policy applies 

to all applicants including international 

citizens. Currently, approximately 

45 percent of all 

Yale students receive financial 

assistance through loans, 

scholarships and work-study 

employment. For more information, 

call the Yale Financial 

Aid Office at 203-432- 

0360. 

Residential Life 

All incoming students are 

assigned to one of 12 residential 

colleges before they 

arrive freshman year. All 

freshmen and sophomores 

are required to live on campus. 

Each residential college 

has its own dining 

hall, as well as library, 

computers, TV and game 

rooms, and often theaters, 

weight rooms, and 

music practice rooms. 

The residential colleges 

sponsor numerous academic 

and extracurricular 

programs, including 

musical performances, 

dramatic productions, 

intramural sports 

teams, visiting fellowships 

and academic 

seminars. A resident 

master and dean take 

care of the academic 

and administrative 

needs of each college, 

and faculty “fellows” 

participate in 

the community by 

acting as student 

advisors and eating 

in the college’s dining 

hall.

Head Coach 

Andy Van Etten 

S t a f f 

Andy Van Etten, the winningest softball coach in Yale history, begins his ninth season at 

the helm of the program. Van Etten has guided the Bulldogs to at least 18 victories in each of 

his eight years. In 1997 Yale won 30 games, only one shy of the school record, and his 2003 

squad won 27 games. Van Etten’s overall record at Yale is 

190-181-3. 

During Van Etten’s tenure the Bulldogs have broken every 

school offensive record, including runs scored, hits, 

doubles, home runs and stolen bases. Under his tutelage, 

Kathy Ching ‘00 stole 163 bases, one of the highest totals in 

NCAA history. Van Etten’s players have earned numerous 

All-Ivy honors, and Alice Liu ‘01 was selected as the Rookie 

of the Year in 1998. 

An assistant under former Yale head coach Kathy Arendsen for three seasons, Van 

Etten has a wealth of coaching experience. He was the head coach of the world 

renowned Raybestos Brakettes in 1995 after serving the previous 15 years as an assistant 

to Ralph Raymond, who guided the 1996 and 2000 United States Olympic Teams. 

The Brakettes captured eight American Softball Association titles in Van Etten’s time. 

In addition, Van Etten coached five members of the 1996 gold medal winning U.S. 

Olympic team: Lisa Fernandez, Dot Richardson, Sheila Cornell, Dionna Harris and 

Lori Harrigan. Other notables who have been under his tutelage include, Pat Dufficy, 

who played for the Coors Light Silver Bullets women’s professional baseball team, and 

softball hall of famers Barbara Reinalda and Arendsen. 

A native of Stratford, Conn., Van Etten and his wife, Monica, have three children: 

Andy, Scott and Matthew. 

Associate Head Coach 

Barbara Reinalda 

Barbara Reinalda, who was 

inducted into the National Softball 

Hall of Fame in 2000, begins 

her seventh season as a member 

of Van Etten’s staff at Yale. She 

was promoted to associate head 

coach in the fall of 2002. Reinalda 

was a pitching standout for 19 

years with the Brakettes and 

played for Andy Van Etten. 

Reinalda is the winningest 

pitcher in Brakettes history with a 441-31 record. During 

her career, she pitched 19 perfect games, 31 no-hitters, 

76 one-hitters and 312 shutouts. In 1994, her final season 

with the team, she compiled a 14-0 record and a 0.38 

ERA, while opposing hitters batted only .145 against her. 

She ended her career with 77 consecutive victories, a streak 

that spanned more than four years. 

A native of Bellflower, Calif., Reinalda is a 1980 graduate 

of Cal Poly Pomona, where she was a business management 

major. 

Assistant Coach 

Laura Beckert Laura Beckert, a 2003 Yale 

graduate, joins Van Etten’s staff 

this spring as a volunteer assistant. 

A second-team Academic 

All-America selection in 2003, 

Beckert was selected as a Yale 

School of Management Silver 

Scholar and is currently enrolled 

in the Yale MBA program. 

Beckert was a first team All- 

Ivy selection as a senior after leading the Bulldogs in batting 

average (.361), runs (33), hits (56) and slugging percentage 

(.452). As a junior she served as team captain 

and started all 45 games, mostly in left field. In her sophomore 

year, Beckert was named to the all-tournament team 

at the New Haven City Series, and in her rookie year she 

started 29 games, mostly at third base, and was fifth on 

the team in batting.

O u t l o o k 

Coming off a fantastic finish to the 2003 campaign – the Bulldogs 

went 25-9 in their final 34 games – head coach Andy Van Etten is 

excited for the start of the 2004 season. With 11 letterwinners returning 

and a strong freshman class, the Bulldogs appear poised to challenge 

for the Ivy League title. 

Strong pitching and defense have been the trademark of Van Etten’s 

teams, and this year should be no different. Sophomores Beth Pavlicek 

and Peggy Hunt lead one of the deepest pitching staffs in the league. 

Each had 10 wins in their rookie campaign and combined to pitch 

over two-thirds of Yale’s innings. Fellow sophomore Ashley 

Linnenbank and team captain Jillian Miles accounted for the remainder 

of the Bulldogs’ innings last spring. Linnenbank had five 

complete games and a 2.88 earned run average, while Miles has been 

in the Yale rotation since her freshman year. Two newcomers bolster 

the Eli pitching corps. Theresa Liedlich (Las Vegas, NV) and Jessica 

Meyer (Pembroke Pines, FL) were both all-state selections in 

high school and hope to make an impact. 

Junior Kristy Kwiatkowski, a two-time second team All-Ivy selection, 

returns at catcher for the Bulldogs. In 2003, Kwiatkowski 

threw out 15 baserunners and was tied for the team lead in home runs 

with three. Freshman Niki Haab (Sarasota, FL) also looks to see time behind the plate this season. 

Despite losing star third baseman Jesseka Bartholomew to graduation, the Elis return a number of infield 

standouts. Leah Kelley, a first team All-Ivy selection, returns for her senior season at shortstop. Kelley had 

career highs in 2003 in virtually every offensive category and led the Bulldogs in stolen bases with 21. Newcomer 

Kate Meserve (Ticonderoga, NY) also will see some time at shortstop and as a utility position player. 

Chelsea Kanyer started all but three games of her freshman campaign at first base and hit .287 for the Bulldogs. 

Sophomore Emily Lederer started 35 games at second base last spring and could see time at third base as well 

this season. Senior Rina Brannen missed most of last season with an injury but returns this spring. Freshmen 

Meredith Parks (Mission Viejo, CA) and Christina Guerland (Auburn, CA) are also candidates to earn playing 

time in the infield. 

Britni Fabacher started in centerfield last year and was one of only three Elis to play in every game. She had 

career highs in hits (39), doubles (6), triples (5) and RBI (14). Senior Katharine Shiota, who hit her first career 

home run last season, and junior Libby Peters are candidates to earn playing time as well. Sophomore Amy 

Seese rejoins the team after taking last year off.

against Fairleigh Dickinson when she pitched a complete 

game, allowed five hits, one earned run and struck out four in 

the Bulldogs’ 6-1 victory. Miles was the recipient of the Coaches 

Award, which is bestowed upon the player on the team who 

represents the ideals of Yale softball that go beyond statistics, 

and who has shown commitment and dedication through her 

actions on and off the field, whether as a role player or a starter. 

As a sophomore Miles was one of Yale’s top pitchers and shared 

the Most Improved Player honors. She led the pitching staff in 

wins (9) and was second in innings pitched (99), shutouts (2) 

and strikeouts (63). Against Sacred Heart she tossed a two-hit 

shutout with a career-high 11 strikeouts. She also pitched a onehitter 

against St. John’s. Miles had a strong rookie season for 

the Bulldogs. She was third on the team in wins (7), ERA (3.28) 

and strikeouts (35). Miles had an outstanding career at Capistrano 

Valley High School. She was a three-time all-league selection and

WILLIAM O. DEWITT ‘63 FAMILY FIELD 

The William O. DeWitt ‘63 

Family Field is the home of 

Yale softball. The 350-seat 

stadium designed by architect 

Brian A. Ameche, AIA ’75 of 

New Haven and built by Clark 

Construction Company of 

Delhi, N.Y., is set against a 

wooded hillside which serves 

as a natural wind screen and 

at the same time provides for 

a magnificent backdrop for the 

stadium. The professional quality 

infield balances drainage concerns 

with the need for excellent 

playing conditions. 

The field dimensions are 

200 feet to the corners and 220 

to the tree lined fence in dead 

center field. Spectators can 

also enjoy the game sitting atop a berm high above the right field fence line. Concrete sunken dugouts sit underneath the 

stands and twin bullpens stretch along the base lines. Located behind the third base Yale dugout are two fully-enclosed 

batting cages equipped for use with a pitching machine. Perched overlooking the backstop fence is a fully-enclosed press 

box. Adjacent to the stadium is a new 750-seat artificial turf stadium, the new home of Yale field hockey and lacrosse. 

The Brooks-Dwyer Varsity Weight Room 

occupies 7,000 square feet on the fourth 

floor of Payne Whitney Gymnasium. It resides 

within the 21,000-square-foot Adrian 

C. Israel Fitness Center in a space originally 

occupied by racquetball/squash courts 

and a golf practice room. This facility was 

dedicated in May 1999 as part of a capital 

project undertaken to expand and modernize 

this 70-year-old cathedral of sports. The varsity 

weight room serves each of the 

University’s intercollegiate sports programs 

and is equipped with rugged, versatile equipment 

such that groups of up to 70 studentathletes 

can train concurrently with optimal 

effectiveness and efficiency. The Brooks- 

Dwyer Varsity Weight Room was created in 

memory of Charles W. Brooks ’35 and Martin 

Dwyer, Jr. ’44 through the generosity of 

Michael C. Brooks ’67 and Diana Dwyer 

Brooks ’72. Workouts are designed and supervised 

by one of the S&C staff’s Certified 

Strength & Conditioning Specialists.

Athletics Mission 

Yale University offers its students a liberal education, one 

which has as its focus on the intellectual and moral development 

of the individual, and which gives students a foundation 

for learning throughout their lives. Yale has long recognized 

that such an education is not fostered by its academic 

component alone. Part of it is constituted by those 

challenging and pleasurable experiences and extracurricular 

activities—like varsity and recreational athletics—that 

augment and enrich academic training. 

In athletics, as everywhere else in the University, Yale is 

strongly committed to equal opportunity, and affirmatively 

seeks to attract exceptionally qualified students, coaches 

and staff of diverse backgrounds to its ranks. 

As a part of its great athletic tradition, the University sponsors 

35 varsity teams, with broad opportunities for participation 

by men and women, in which athletes of proven ability 

have the opportunity to test their skill and valor in intercollegiate 

competition. Through its commitment to competitive 

athletics, Yale demonstrates its belief that the lessons such 

engagement teaches are many and enduring. Among these 

are learning how to strive to win, to compete with pride and 

honor, to make sacrifices, to persevere when all seems lost, 

and to develop a sense of obligation and responsibility to 

others. These lessons make athletics a school for accomplishment 

and character, and for the athlete they represent 

an invaluable part of the non-academic aspects of a liberal 

education. 

Because Yale views athletics as a component of liberal 

education, complimentary to its central academic mission 

but not superior to it, the University requires that aspiration 

and achievement in competitive athletic endeavor play a pro-

portioned role within any student’s school life. The University 

also subscribes to the Ivy agreement, the principles of 

which delimit the role competitive athletic endeavor plays in 

the life of the University or of any individual student within it. 

These principles include the belief that student athletes 

should be generally representative of their class and admitted 

on the basis of academic promise and personal qualities 

as well as athletic abilities; that financial aid to student 

athletes be awarded in the same way it is awarded to other 

students, that is solely on the basis of financial need; that 

student athletes be held accountable to the same academic 

standards as other students; and that athletes make normal 

academic progress toward their degrees. 

In addition to its sponsorship of competitive sports, Yale 

supports a wide range of extracurricular programs, including 

those that present significant opportunities for recreational 

and instructional participation. The University provides 

supervision for over thirty club sports, and has developed 

a large intramural program, which presents undergraduates, 

graduate students, and faculty fellows with the 

opportunity to participate in competitive sports throughout 

the calendar year. Yale considers the opportunities it offers 

in these areas to be an important contribution to the wellbeing 

of members of its community and is as dedicated to 

these extracurricular activities as to the continued strength 

of its competitive programs. In all aspects of sport and recreation, 

the University recognizes that shared experience 

can help create a strong bond among members of the University 

community, and between the University community 

and the wider world, and it is committed to fostering the spirit 

of pride and fellowship that athletic endeavor can inspire. 

The 2004 softball media guide was produced the by the Yale Sports Publicity Office. The cover photo of captain Jillian Miles was taken by Thomas Honan. The following 

photographers contributed to the guide: Yale Audio Visual, Steve Conn, and Sabby Frinzi 

In accordance with federal law, the University prepares an annual report on participation rates, financial support and other information regarding men's and women's intercollegiate athletic programs. Upon request to 

the Director of Athletics, P.O. Box 208216, New Haven, CT 06520, (203) 432-1414, the University will provide its annual report to any student or prospective student

The Great Location 

New Haven, Connecticut 

There is much to do in New Haven after dark, including 

visiting one of the hundreds of restaurants the city has to 

offer. Presidents of the United States and other dignitaries 

have visited the Wooster Street area for the famous New 

Haven pizza. 

Concert goers 

have many venues 

to enjoy popular 

acts, including the 

Oakdale in 

Wallingford and 

the Meadows Music 

Theater in 

Hartford. 

New Haven’s baseball loyalties 

are split between the 

Red Sox and Yankees. Both 

Yankee Stadium in New 

York and Fenway Park in 

Boston are within driving 

distance of the Yale campus 

along with all the other attractions 

those great cities 

have to offer. 

Lake Compounce, New England’s Family Theme 

Park, is located up the road from New Haven. The 

park features Boulder Dash, which was voted the 

World’s No. 1 wooden coaster in 2001. 

The top women’s 

tennis players in 

the world come to 

New Haven each 

August for the Pilot 

Pen Tournament. 

Venus Williams 

is a three-time 

Pilot Pen champion. 

Long Island Sound is a 

stone’s throw from downtown 

New Haven.
