Baseball team prepared to climb 

up the GLIAC ladder in 2010 

Chargers counting on a 

veteran, athletic infield 

in the new season 

It has been six years since the Hillsdale College baseball team 

qualified for the GLIAC postseason tournament. An infusion of 

young talent, along with some productive returning players, give 

the Chargers hope of ending that streak in 2010. 

Although the Hillsdale area currently sits under a foot of snow, 

the Charger baseball team has been preparing for this annual rite 

of spring for many weeks, working new players into the team 

while counting on continued improvement from many of the 

holdovers from last year’s team, that finished 13-33 overall. 

There are no seniors on this year’s Charger baseball team, and 

head coach Paul Noce, now in his 17th season at Hillsdale, is 

counting on youth being served with this year’s team. 

One of the strengths of this year’s team figures to be the infield, 

where most of the team’s experience lies. Versatile players like 

Jamie McNeill, Adam Connell and Brent Opland return, each 

with nearly two full years’ worth of starting experience under 

their belts. Opland is one of the team’s most consistent hitters, 

whiel Connell and McNeill are quick, athletic and have strong 

arms in the infield. 

Returners Chris and Clay Stephens aren’t related, but they give 

nice pop to the Charger lineup, each coming off seasons where 

they batted over .300. 

One of the most pleasant surprises of Hillsdale’s 2009 season 

was the emergence of freshman John Bonvillian. Now a sophomore, 

“John Bon” led the team with a .344 batting average and 

was named honorable mention All-GLIAC. 

The outfield is the youngest position on the team, with only Pat 

O’Hearn among the returning players slated to startt. Freshmen 

Jeff Scarpelli and Mike Vanchieri making their way to the top of 

the outfield depth chart. 

Junior Dan Rhodes is the team’s most successful pitcher returning 

this season, having won four games a year ago. He leads a 

staff that is young, but full of exciting potential, under the watchful 

eye of assistant coach Andy Lovell. 

Kris Morris, Charlie Fisher and Casey Haggerty also return to 

the staff, having gained spot duty experience last year. They will 

be counted on to pitch more innings in the 2010 season. Freshman 

Tyler Haggerson has been a standout among the first-year 

Clay Stephens became a fixture in the Charger lineup in 2009. 

pitchers, and could find himself part of the starting rotation as the 

season opens. 

Among the many newcomers to the program, few arrive with 

the pedigree possessed by freshman Scott Lantis. The son of former 

Charger All-American football player Jeff Lantis, Scott will 

pitch and catch for Hillsdale this season. He led Hillsdale High 

School to its first-ever state baseball championship in 2007, and 

is considered an impact player right away. 

Fellow freshmen Jack Kelly and Mike Vanchieri could also see 

time at catcher, while Scott Rhodes, younger brother of Dan, will 

be one of the additions to the pitching staff.

Head Coach Paul Noce 

Hillsdale College baseball coach Paul 

Noce has taken his place as one of the longesttenured 

head coaches on the Charger athletic 

staff . In 2010, Noce will begin his 17th season 

at the helm of the Hillsdale College baseball 

program. 

During his career, Noce has guided the 

Chargers to 286 victories. The high point of 

that tenure came during the 2003 season, when 

he guided the team to 24 victories and a spot in 

the GLIAC Tournament. He is the only coach 

in Hillsdale College baseball history to lead the 

team to back-to-back 20-win seasons and spots 

in the postseason tournament. 

Prior to coaching at Hillsdale College, 

Noce spent time on the major league level with 

the Chicago Cubs (1987) and Cincinnati Reds 

(1990). His career started in the minor leagues 

as he developed from 1981-1991 with seven 

diff erent organizations: San Diego Padres, 

Chicago Cubs, Montreal Expos, Cleveland 

Indians, Seattle Mariners, Cincinnati Reds, and 

San Francisco Giants. 

Following his playing career, Noce served 

as a roving minor-league base running and 

bunting instructor in the Pittsburgh Pirates 

organization from 1992-1993. Coach Noce 

also has international baseball experience. 

He assisted as a staff member for the Pacific 

Dolphins (Korea) and Unlimited Baseball

coaching staff , and his fi rst as its full-time

Athletic Director 

Don Brubacher 

On July 30, 2008, Don Brubacher 

was named the fifth athletic director in 

the past 54 years at Hillsdale College. 

Following the strong character and 

tradition established by people like 

Jack McAvoy and Dr. Mike Kovalchik 

is no small task, but it’s one Brubacher 

has fully embraced entering his second 

year on the job. 

“I’ve been extremely impressed with 

the quality of coaches, athletes and staff 

we have here at Hillsdale. They have 

made this a very easy transition for 

me,” Brubacher said. “I not only want to 

maintain the great athletic tradition we have here, but to help our 

coaches achieve greater success in the future.” 

Brubacher knew plenty of success in his nine-year stint as athletic 

director at Tabor College, an NAIA school located in Hillsboro, 

Kansas. An alumn of the school, Brubacher coached men’s and 

women’s basketball at Tabor, as well as men’s and women’s soccer 

during a career that saw him spend nearly 30 years on the field of 

play. He takes a lot of pride in his classroom teaching experience 

as well, and draws many parallels between the experience a college 

student has in the classroom compared to that on the athletic 

field. 

“Our national search has produced an individual with an 

impressive understanding of the role that athletics plays in the 

formation of student character and how character development is 

essential to the mission of our institution,” said Hillsdale College 

President Dr. Larry Arnn. “In addition, we have found a man 

with a long, proven record of success in leading a college athletic 

program. Don Brubacher will be a perfect fit here.” 

Brubacher’s coaching career saw him earn many Coach of the Year 

accolades, and he led his men’s basketball teams to 12 conference 

championships. His women’s soccer teams also won a regular 

season conference championship, and a postseason tournament 

conference title. 

Brubacher started his college career at Heston College in Kansas, 

where he played soccer. He then moved on to Tabor College and 

played soccer and basketball, and was a First-Team All-Conference 

selection in basketball before his graduation in 1975. 

Associate A.D. 

Claudette Charney 

Claudette Charney is entering her 

eighth season with the Hillsdale College 

athletic department, filling the 

roles of both head women’s basketball 

coach and associate athletic director. 

Charney handles all of the NCAA 

clearinghouse and compliance issues 

for Hillsdale College, in addition to her 

coaching duties. She is also the school’s 

senior woman administrator. 

She is coming off the finest season of 

her 20-plus year coaching career, guiding 

the Chargers to the 2008-09 GLIAC 

championship. She also coached Katie 

Cezat to becoming the top player in all of Division II in 2008-09. 

Cezat was named the national player of the year by every organization 

and website that covered Division II women’s basketball last 

year. 

Charney is Hillsdale College’s all-time leader in women’s basketball 

coaching wins with 137, and three GLIAC South Division titles 

in her seven-year tenure. She also coached Hillsdale’s only other 

All-American player, Stephanie Heid, in 2002-03. 

She also served as the head coach at Grand Valley State, and is 

still the all-time winningest women’s basketball coach at Saginaw 

Valley State. Charney and her husband, Dr. Mark Kosciuszko, reside 

in Hillsdale. 

Head Athletic Trainer 

Lynne Neukom 

Lynne Neukom is officially the head athletic trainer at Hillsdale 

College starting with the 2009-10 school year. She served in that 

role on an interim basis in 2008-09. 

A lifelong resident of Hillsdale County, Neukom graduated 

from Hillsdale High School in 1987, and enrolled in Hillsdale 

College that fall. She graduated in 1991 with a degree in Health 

and Physical Education. She worked as a graduate assistant for 

longtime head athletic trainer Paul Beachler, and went on to earn a 

master’s degree in health education – with an emphasis in athletic 

training – from Western Michigan University in 1993. 

Her husband, Jake is a physical therapist and a certified athletic 

trainer working for the Hillsdale Community Health Center. He 

regularly assists with the care of the athletes. Their children are 

Hannah (8), Jacob (6), and Keturah (4). They reside in Hillsdale.

Welcome to Hillsdale College 

An 

independent, four-year college in south-central 

Michigan, Hillsdale College offers the rigorous and 

lively academic experience one expects of a tier-one liberal arts 

college, and it stands out for its commitment to the enduring 

principles of the Western tradition. Its core curriculum embodies 

this commitment through required courses in disciplines such 

as history, literature, science and political science in order to 

develop in students the “philosophical habit of mind” essential to 

sound education. Likewise, majors at Hillsdale are a rigorous and 

searching extension of these commitments. Ranging from classics 

or music to chemistry or business, academic fields of concentration 

build upon the core curriculum, deepening and specifying 

students’ appreciation for and understanding of the liberal arts. 

Hillsdale College is dedicated to intellectual inquiry and to 

learning, and it recognizes essential human dignity. Ordered 

liberty, personal responsibility, limited government, free enterprise 

and man’s moral, intellectual and spiritual nature illuminate this 

dignity and identify the service of the College to its students, the 

nation and the Western intellectual and religious tradition. 

Far-ranging by design and incisive by method, study at 

Hillsdale College is intellectually demanding. Students work 

closely with faculty who guide them in their studies, helping 

students to prepare for a lifetime of accomplishment, leadership 

and learning. For more information about Hillsdale College or 

to arrange a visit, call the Admissions Office at (517) 607-2327, 

or e-mail admissions@hillsdale.edu. 

Hillsdale 

• 

College, founded in 1844, is an independent, 

coeducational, residential, 

nonsectarian college for about 1,300 students. Its four-year curriculum 

leads to the degree of bachelor of arts or bachelor of 

science. It is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges 

and Secondary Schools, whose Commission on Institutions 

of Higher Education is located at 30 North LaSalle Street, Suite 

2400, Chicago, IL 60602. Hillsdale is included on the approved 

lists of leading universities for transfer and graduate studies and 

holds membership in the Association of American Colleges and 

the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. 

Located just off M-99 in the southern Michigan city of Hillsdale, 

it lies between Detroit and Chicago and is easily accessible via the 

interstate highway system. Those approaching from the west on 

the Indiana Tollway should use Interchange 144 (Angola). Those 

approaching from the east on the Ohio Turnpike should use Exit 

13 (Bryan-Montpelier). Approximately one half of Hillsdale’s 

students come from other states and countries. Hillsdale has 

traditionally upheld two concepts: academic excellence and 

institutional independence. The College does not accept federal 

or state taxpayer subsidies for its operations. This has set it free 

to offer a unique kind of education. Hillsdale College proudly 

adheres to the non-discriminatory policy regarding race, religion, 

sex and national or ethnic origin that it has maintained since long 

before governments found it necessary to regulate such matters. 

Hillsdale College is located in the northern part of the city of 

Hillsdale, with its various grounds and facilities covering some 200 

acres. The main quadrangle of the campus is principally devoted to 

academic and administrative facilities. It has many beautiful oaks, 

maples and pines and is located atop the highest hill in the city.
