Coaching Staff
Jay Albaugh
Director of Golf
Jay Albaugh is in his third year as director of golf and leads both the menʼs and womenʼs programs for the Tribe.
After his inaugural campaign saw 2004 graduate Ann Schnell earn first-team All-Colonial Athletic Association and
CAA Womenʼs Golf Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards on the womenʼs side, and 2005 graduate Gary Barton earn
second-team All-CAA and all-state honors for the men, his golfers achieved even greater success in his second year.
Barton and classmate Tim Pemberton were both named to the all-region team, with Pemberton also earning first-team
All-CAA and second-team all-state honors as he finished his collegiate playing days with the lowest career average
in Tribe history. Barton garnered second-team all-conference and first-team all-state acclaim after leading the team
throughout the year, and capped his career by winning the Cavalier Classic in a one-hole playoff, his second individual medal in four years. As
a team, the men captured two tournament titles, an outstanding accomplishment for a squad composed primarily of underclassmen. In March
the Tribe defended its home course, winning a three-team playoff to triumph in the W&M Invitational. In April, the College followed Bartonʼs
charge to win the Cavalier Classic by a stroke over a 12-team field that included many Atlantic Coast Conference and CAA rivals. In recognition
of his accomplishments, Albaugh was named the State Golf Coach of the Year by the Virginia Golf Coaches Association in July.
Albaugh has shown an ability for molding young players into consistent contributors. In his first season, his work with then-freshmen Matt
Brantingham, Ryan Price and Hunter Watts was evident through the spring season as the trio broke out with a number of solid top-10 and top-20
showings and started playing consistently in the No. 2 and 3 positions and even in the No. 1 spot at times. Their progression continued in their
second season, as they became a force on the travel squad and shot at or near par on a consistent basis while threatening for medalist honors.
This year, the trio will be looked to as the strong nucleus of the team.
Albaugh came to the Tribe from Eastern Illinois University where he served as the head coach for both the
menʼs and womenʼs golf teams. In his five years at Eastern Illinois, Albaugh saw both squads achieve their best
finishes at the Ohio Valley Conference Championship, including a runner-up result for the women in 2003. The
2002-03 season also saw Albaugh lead each team to a victory, with the men taking the 11-team Harris Invitational
while the women won the Butler Invitational. Overall, Albaugh coached his teams to four wins during his tenure,
which included the womenʼs first win as a program. He also led each team to its lowest stroke average in history.
Previously, Albaugh served three years as the head golf coach at Mount St. Maryʼs College. While there,
he oversaw the creation of the womenʼs golf program and also led the menʼs team to its best conference finish
(fourth). Albaugh, a 1996 graduate of Mount St. Maryʼs, was a four-year letterwinner in golf and was named first
team All-Northeast Conference his junior and senior seasons. The Mountaineersʼ number one golfer for three
years, Albaugh won the American University Invitational in 1994 and was a two-time selection to the NEC Scholar-Athlete team.
Albaugh has also served as an assistant golf professional for three years and is a member of the Golf Coaches
Association of America and the National Golf Coaches Association. Albaugh holds a bachelorʼs degree in business
administration from Mount St. Maryʼs and a masterʼs degree in athletic administration from Eastern Illinois. In
September 2004 he was named to the NCAA Menʼs Golf Mid-Atlantic Regional Advisory Committee.
Peter Gyscek
Assistant Coach
Pete Gyscek enters his first season in the collegiate coaching ranks as the assistant coach for both the menʼs and
womenʼs programs at William and Mary. A long-time Williamsburg resident, Gyscek is the owner of the Dynamic
Golf Studio, a Williamsburg-area teaching center, and the skills he employs will no doubt be put to great use by the
Tribe golfers.
Gyscek is a Class “A” member of the Professional Golfers Association of America, and has competed as a professional on several mini-tours and in the Mid-Atlantic PGA. He is also an associate member of the National Golf
Coaches Association, and is a Certified Golf Instructor as well as being a Master Clubfitter and Equipment
Specialist.
Gyscek graduated from Niagara University in 1985 with a bachelorʼs in business management. A four-year letterwinner as a member of the
varsity golf team, he also served as captain for three years. He lives in Williamsburg with his wife, Michele, and five-year old son, Noah.
Men’s 2005-06 Outlook
Overview
Three juniors who pushed W&M to the
brink of regional qualification in 2004-05 will
assume leading roles on the team for the upcoming season. Matt Brantingham, Ryan Price, and
Hunter Watts stepped up last season and helped
lead the team through the spring semester, but
were frustrated by the regional selection committee when it picked the University of Maryland over the Tribe on the eighth tiebreak. This
season, Director of Golf Jay Albaugh, the 2005
Virginia Golf Coaches Association Coach of the
Year, does not intend the give the selection committee a choice on whether or not to include the
College, and has designs to pick up a few more
tournament titles and contend for the team’s first
Colonial Athletic Association crown since 1985
along the way.
Seniors
Two seniors will provide veteran leadership
and will have an opportunity to become permanent fixtures in the tournament lineup. Tom
McGinn is one of the best putters on the team.
With a wealth of tournament experience, McGinn has flashed his great talent, opening in 7274 on the challenging Royal New Kent course
at the Joe Agee Invitational. He repeated that
season low of 72 to close the Princeton Invitational. Jeff Steckmest will look for big things in
his senior season to capitalize on his great potential. One of the longest hitters on the team and
strong wedge player, Steckmest has all the tools
to score well and just needs more consistency to
become a regular fixture on the travel squad. He
has already proven he can go low, with a career
best of 70 and an impressive effort of 71 at the
2004 CAA Championship.
one of its strongest putters, Price was the hero of
the Tribe’s playoff win at its home tournament,
rolling in a 15-footer for the difference-making
birdie against Richmond. He shot three rounds
of 72 last season, including the final round of
the CAA Championship, and is another threat
for hardware. Watts will study abroad in the fall
and may redshirt the entire season, although he
could play upon his return in the spring. Watts
had a breakthrough last fall, where he was the
clubhouse leader during the first round of the
Hoya Invitational. Playing with great maturity
at No. 1, he clinched runner-up honors with
a strong even-par effort in the final round. A
clutch player, Watts seems to have the uncanny
ability to close very strong on the final nine.
Sophomores
Two sophomores will aim to step into the
traveling lineup after being close all year in qualifying. Jay Sutton has a good, simple swing and
showed flashes of brilliance in limited competition as a rookie. He fired a one-over 73 in the
second round of the Joe Agee Invitational, part
of a strong debut that saw him post 78-73-76 on
the challenging Royal New Kent course. Jonas
Miller is the team’s “range rat” and is a very accurate and analytical player. His freshman campaign was highlighted by an opening 75 at the
Joe Agee Invitational.
Newcomers
Doug Hurson has already been tested at the
national level as a two-time U.S. Amateur qualifier. As a senior, he won the Interstate Athletic
Conference championship and amassed a 7-2 record in match play. Brent Paladino had a whirlwind summer adding to his already impressive
resume. He qualified for the U. S. Amateur by
firing rounds of 68-70 and also claimed medalist
honors (141) in sectional qualifying for the U.S
Public Links Amateur. The 2003 Connecticut
Section PGA Player of the Year brings a unique
swing and foul weather experience from playing in the Northeast to the team. Chris Ray
joins the Tribe as the Jefferson District Player of
the Year in Central Virginia. Leading his high
school team to the past two AA state titles, Ray
has enormous length and creative shot selection.
Schedule
The season began in September at the Central Region Fall Preview, where the Tribe finished
17th. Paladino debuted well to lead the team
at +5 (tied for 15th). Traveling to Florence, SC
one week later, the squad finished 13th, as Hurson emerged as one of the program’s top players
finishing tied for 12th at one-under. The College hosted the Joe Agee Invite on October 3-4,
finishing sixth. Hurson again was the top scorer,
shooting 214 (-2) to finish sixth on the individual
leaderboard. In Philadelpia for the Big 5 Classic,
the team finished ninth and Paladino reclaimed
the top spot, shooting +8 to tie for 16th. The
fall drew to a close at Georgetown, with the team
finishing eighth and Hurson tied for eighth (E).
The winds of March open the spring season, with the Tribe at Birkdale Country Club in
Huntersville, North Carolina, on March 10-11
for the Birkdale Collegiate Classic, before returning to Williamsburg to defend their team title at
the William and Mary Invitational on the 20th
and 21st. April finds the College competing in
the Drew Upton Memorial, in Westover, Maryland, April 1st and 2nd. The final tournament
of the regular season will be the Marshall Invitational, in Huntington, West Virginia, April 7th
and 8th. The CAA championship will be held
at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina, on the
Number 6 course, from April 14-16.
Juniors
Brantingham had a breakthrough in the
spring season, challenging last year’s captains for
the team lead in every tournament. He played
at No. 1 for the final round of the W&M Invitational after opening with a 73, and iced the
Tribe’s win with a sand-save playing last on the
first playoff hole. The purest ball striker on the
team, Brantingham has improved his putting
and gained mental maturity, making him a formidable frontrunner for medalist honors. Price
has proven to be a rock of consistency for the
team in his first two seasons, as he has gradually
knocked strokes off his game. Price takes pressure off his fellow teammates and allows them
to be more aggressive as his innate ability to get
the ball in the hole, even after wayward shots,
means the junior won’t post a score higher than Back (l to r): Assistant Coach Pete Gyscek, Jeff Steckmest, Jonas Miller, Tom McGinn, Director of

Women’s 2005-06 Outlook
Overview
After a year of adjustment with five freshmen joining the team, the William and Mary
women’s golf team will aim to improve upon its
fifth place finish at last year’s Colonial Athletic
Association tournament and make a run at regional qualifying in the first season of a newly
expanded conference. A mix of youth and veterans will combine to compose a formidable lineup
that will take their shot at the field.
gether and consistently post more scores like the
tournament-low 71 she fired at the Shamrock Invitational. The only rookie to compete in every
tournament last season, Oldenkamp has earned
a reputation as a closer, racing up the leaderboard
with some impressively low final rounds. Misha
Harvey will be looking to build upon a strong
rookie season that saw her impress despite working through some swing changes. She opened
her career with a 10th-place effort at the Draper
Valley Invitational (firing a 75) and led the team
in stroke average during the fall. Leading the
Tribe in three of the five fall tournaments, she
never got on track in the spring, but with her
great accuracy and swing changes sorted out, she
should be one of the team’s top golfers.
Marissa Sprick qualified for four tournaments in a solid debut for the Green and Gold,
and will try and build upon that experience.
Kara Siford made great strides in the spring, and
will look to gain more tournament experience
after only competing at the W&M Invitational
last year. Another of the team’s hardest workers,
like Jinphiphadhana, she has the fundamentals
to break out and be a force on the team.
Seniors
Sayde Murray played brilliantly last season
under the pressure of being a co-captain and is
one of the few veterans on the team. An accurate
player and good ballstriker, Murray impressed
with a career year highlighted by a 75 to open
the Shamrock Invitational and built confidence
in the spring which should carry into this season. Pantipa Jinphiphadhana broke through
to qualify for the travel squad at the end of last
season and played well in tournaments. She has
added some length to her game and has worked
hard to develop her overall skills. Gwen Brink

pionship her junior and senior years, finishing
fourth as a senior in 2004. A strong putter, Lee
competed extensively on both the American Junior Golf Association and International Junior
Golf Tour spring/summer circuits.
Ellie Costello brings a strong record of success in high school competition to the Tribe. A
two-time Illinois state finalist and two-time conference champion for Loyola Academy, Costello
also won a national qualifier on the AJGA tour
in 2005. As strong in the classroom as she is
on the links, Costello has recieved multiple academic awards, including being named to the allacademic state and conference teams, the national honor roll, and was recognized as a national
scholar-athlete by the US Army Reserves.
Schedule
The fall season was highlighted by the College’s win in its own Tribe Classic, the first team
victory since 1992 and the lowest single-round
team score in history (299). Murray won the individual medal on the third play off hole, making
a ten foot birdie putt while her opponent missed
her own 15 footer. The Tribe also led after the
first day of the TPC Invitational at the end of the
fall before settling back on the second day and
finishing third in the nine-team event.
The season opened with a fourth-place showing at the Marshall Invitational, where freshman
Lee finished sixth, only nine shots out of the
lead. Murray led the team at the Bay Tree Invitational, tying for 21st at +13 as the team finished
11th. Following the win in the Tribe Classic, the
team traveled to State College, PA to finish 13th
in the Nittany Lion Invite, led by Oldenkamp
(+19). Murray finished tied for 19th at the Ross
Resorts Invitational to lead the Tribe to finish at
11th, before the team closed out the fall at the
TPC Invitational in Virginia Beach, led to third
place by Harvey’s ninth-place showing (+11).
The Tribe heads to the southwest to open
the spring, playing in Phoenix, Arizona from
March 6-8 at the Bobcat Desert Classic. A twoweek break ensues, before the women host the
William and Mary Invitational at Ford’s Colony,
March 25th and 26th. April 8th and 9th find
the College making its final tune-up before the
conference championship, taking on James Madison and a host of other schools in Harrisonburg,
Virginia, at the Bonnie Hoover Invitational.
The Colonial Athletic Association Championship is being held this year at Pinehurst Resort,
in Southern Pines, North Carolina. The women
will be playing from April 14th to 16th on the
No. 6 course, which was originally deisgned by
George and Tom Fazio in 1979 and re-modeled
by Tom Fazio in 2005.

Athletic Administration
Terry Driscoll
Director of Athletics
With an extensive resumé that includes four
years as a student-athlete, a professional playing
career and numerous jobs in the athletic business
world, Edward C. “Terry” Driscoll is entering his
eighth year as the athletics director at the College
of William and Mary.
Driscoll’s tenure has seen a wealth of improvements across the board in the W&M athletics department, from new facilities to increased fundraising for the Tribe. In addition, the Tribe has reached
all-time highs in the annual Director’s Cup rankings that summarize excellence in all sports.
Upon the death of legendary Tribe athletics
director John Randolph, W&M president Timothy J. Sullivan chose Driscoll to be the new leader
of the department, saying “Terry brings outstanding management and leadership skills to the position.”
Barbara Blosser
Senior Executive Associate AD
After serving 12 years as the College’s associate athletics director, Barbara Blosser was promoted
to her current position of senior executive associate
athletic director in April of 2004. Blosser started
her career at William and Mary as the head women’s basketball coach in 1978 and guided the Tribe
Since Driscoll took over as athletics director,
he has overseen the construction of more than $6
million in facilities, including the new Plumeri
Park (baseball), Albert-Daly Field (soccer, lacrosse)
and the Busch Courts (tennis). Driscoll has also
increased the annual fundraising totals for noncapital projects from $1.36 million in 1995 to
around $2.7 million currently. He also has served
on numerous conference and NCAA committees,
including a stint as president of the Atlantic 10
Football Conference.
The Tribe has also had outstanding success
across the board since Driscoll came to Williamsburg. In 2002-03, W&M had a school-record 10
teams compete in the NCAA Tournament. Four
teams won conference titles, while six were in the
top 25 at the end of their respective seasons. One
of the department’s goals each year is to finish in
the top 100 in the annual Director’s Cup rankings,
and that has happened in all but one of the years
that Driscoll has been the AD, with a high ranking
of 42 occurring in 1997. In addition, W&M had
captured 81 CAA Championships coming into the
2005-06 school year, by far the highest total among
all conference schools.
Driscoll’s leadership skills were developed in
his collegiate years. As a student-athlete at Boston
College, Driscoll captained the basketball team to
the National Invitation Tournament championship
game as a senior, and was named the tournament
MVP. In addition to being named an All-American,
his success in the classroom with a major in biology
garnered him an Academic All-America honor.
After graduating from BC, he was the fourth
pick of the NBA Draft, selected by the Detroit Pistons, just three picks after the Milwaukee Bucks
chose UCLA’s Lew Alcindor, later to be known as
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Driscoll chose to play a year
in Italy first, but then returned to the U.S. to play
for the Pistons, Washington Bullets and Milwaukee
Bucks before going back to Italy as a player and
coach until 1980.
Driscoll then entered the corporate world in
1980, working for Kazmaier Associates, Inc., an international sporting goods sales and sports marketing firm. After Kazmaier purchased Bike Athletic in
1986, KSG Inc. was formed with the objective of
becoming the first, and only, national sales agency
in the sporting goods industry. By 1987, Driscoll
was president of the company and had expanded
the agency to all 50 states just two years later. In
early 1990, Driscoll’s contribution to a marketing
research project for the NCAA was the initial step
moving him from product marketing and sales to
sports marketing and management. The result of
the project was a joint venture between Kazmaier Associates and Host Communication - with
Driscoll being named managing director and chief
operating officer of NCAA International.
In 1993, Driscoll diversified his experience
in the athletic world by working as the executive
director of the 1994 World Cup site in Boston.
In September of that year, Driscoll was again enlisted to launch a new business, Eagle International
Group, an event management and services company. As vice president, Driscoll worked with Hawaii
Pacific Sports as well as organizing the Women’s
World Volleyball Grand Prix, a five-week competition in Honolulu.
Driscoll resides in Williamsburg with his wife,
Susan. The couple has two children - Keith, 30, a
1997 graduate of Holy Cross and Leslie, 26, a 2001
graduate of William and Mary.
to a VAIAW crown in her first season with a schoolrecord 16 wins (16-13). Her 1980 Tribe team (1114) placed third, while the 1981 squad (16-16) was
VAIAW runner-up. She was also at the helm during the 1984-85 season when William and Mary
made the jump to NCAA Division I. Overall, she
finished her coaching career with 115 wins, 84 of
which came at William and Mary.
When the College’s men’s and women’s athletic programs merged in May of 1986, she moved
to administration, first serving as the Assistant to
the Associate Athletics Director. Over the past 16
years, her administrative responsibilities at W&M
have included the monitoring of financial aid matters, coordinating the scheduling of athletic facilities, supervision of coaches and staff and, currently,
serving as the person primarily responsible for
administering the day-to-day operations of the department.
From October 1992 to June 1993 and August
1995 to July 1996, Blosser also served as acting
athletics director in an interim capacity. For her efforts, she was named the first recipient of the John
Randolph Inspiration Award. Blosser has served on
various committees such as the NCAA Strategic
Planning Committee and the Colonial Athletic Association Competition Committee.
Blosser began her coaching career at the helm
of the women’s basketball program at Ashland College in Ohio. During two seasons there, she led the
Eagles to successive 15-7 and 16-8 ledgers. Her
1977 squad won the AIAW Region V Championship, while her 1978 team took the OAISW Small
College title.
A former three-sport standout at Ohio State,
Blosser graduated Cum Laude in 1975 with a
Bachelor of Science degree in physical education.
At OSU, she was selected to both Phi Beta Kappa
and Mortar Board. She competed in basketball,
field hockey and tennis and captained both the
basketball and field hockey squads her senior year.
She went on to earn her master’s degree from the
University of North Carolina Greensboro in 1978.
In 1993, she was selected as a member of the first
class of women inducted to the Ohio State University Athletic Hall of Fame.

Athletic Excellence
The 2004-05 season was another outstanding year for W&M athletics, as the Tribe
added five CAA titles to push its conferenceleading total to 81, 30 more than the next
closest competitor. Seven teams competed in
their respective NCAA Championships, highlighted by the football teamʼs appearance in
the I-AA semifinals. It has become typical for
W&M to win at least five conference championships and send seven or more teams to the
NCAA Championship each season.
Each year the goal of the athletics department is to finish in the top-100 nationally
in the NACDA Directorsʼ Cup standings and
in recent years W&M has far exceeded that
standard. In 2004-2005, the College finished
76th, and was the highest-ranked team in the
CAA and was third among all schools in the
state of Virginia, making this the ninth time in
the 12-year history of the Directorsʼ Cup that
the College has finished both in the top four in
the state of Virginia and first or second in the
CAA.
William and Mary fields Division I teams
for both men and women in basketball, cross
country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, swimming
and diving, tennis, and indoor and outdoor
track and field. There are also field hockey,
lacrosse and volleyball squads for women of
the College, while there are two additional
sports (baseball and football) for men.
Academic Success
The Tribeʼs athletic accomplishments do
not come at the expense of its studentsʼ academic responsibilities, as W&M has produced
36 Academic All-Americans since 1992.
In the NCAAʼs inaugural Academic Progress Rate scores for all Division I institutions,
William and Mary once again excelled in its
mission of fostering true student-athletes. The
College boasted the fourth-best APR score
(992) among 328 active and provisional institutions, and W&M leads all programs that
offer performance-based grants and financial
aid to scholar-athletes.
Additionally, W&M had four student-athletes recognized as CAA Scholar-Athletes of
the Year in 2004-2005: Pat Comstock (Menʼs
Cross Country), Megan Bishop (Womenʼs
Cross Country), Keith Bechtol (Menʼs Track
and Field) and Lena Sherbakov (Womenʼs
Tennis).

Goals
We take pride in the many achievements of William and Mary
athletes, both in the classroom and on the playing field. These support services and many others are in place to help each studentathlete achieve their goals. It is our hope that at the completion
of their undergraduate career they can reflect upon:
1. An academic experience that prepared them for a successful career.
2. An athletic challenge that brought many rewards.
3. A feeling of loyalty and pride in identifying themselves as
a varsity athlete with a degree from The College of William
and Mary.
Compliance and Academic Support
As members of the Colonial Athletic Association and NCAA
Division I, the College is committed to full compliance with all
NCAA and conference regulations. The department has a fulltime
Director of Compliance committed to assisting students, staff
and coaches through education and monitoring of compliance
issues.
All entering students are assigned to a faculty academic
advisor assigned by the director of Academic Advising. Students
remain with this advisor until their sophomore year at which time
they select a faculty advisor in their chosen major.
Within the athletic department, the Academic Support Coordinator is a valuable resource for student-athletes serving in a
liaison role with the various student service offices throughout
the campus community. The College has offices for Volunteer
Services, Career Services, a Writing Resource Center and Oral
Communication Studio, to name a few.
The department offers a variety of study, life and career
building skills programs, but holds firm to the concept of selfdetermination—each student must take responsibility for his
or her collegiate experience. Our goal is to assure that there is a
support system in place to assist students to make positive and
informed decisions.
The athletic department has on staff a sports
psychologist, who holds a Ph.D. in sports psychology. All
consultations are confidential and all student-athletes,
teams or coaches are welcome regardless of the issues
they wish to discuss. Consultation is available for sport
psychology education, performance enhancement skills
training, strategies for dealing with stress or injury, or
for personal issues that may affect performance. The
sports psychology consultant is considered a member
of the Counseling Center and refers individuals to the
Center when appropriate.
Strength, Speed and Conditioning
Tribe athletics is very proud of the Joseph W.
Montgomery Strength Training Center, a 5,000 square
foot weight training facility. Under the guidance of the
Head and Assistant Strength Coach each sport is provided with a program designed to enhance individual
strength and flexibility development specific to the skills and
movements required for their sport. Individuals are educated on
proper lifting techniques and workouts are monitored to assure
safety at all times.
Sports Medicine
The Division of Sports Medicine provides a comprehensive
health care program for the department of intercollegiate athletics. The staff consists of a team physician, seven full time certified
athletic trainers, two graduate assistant athletic trainers and
medical specialists from the local community. The team physician
has overall responsibility for supervision of the sports medicine
program. Tribe athletes have the luxury of rehabilitating and
treating injuries in a state-of-the-art athletic training facility.
The priority for the athletic training staff is to enhance and
assure lines of communication and cooperation among its staff,
student-athletes, parents, coaches, the Student Health Center and
involved medical specialists. Through a team approach to health
care the sports medicine program can offer comprehensive health
care services to the student-athletes in a caring and cooperative
manner.
The Best Small Public University in the United States
For more than 300 years,William and Mary has been a symbol
of academic distinction in America. Now, in its fourth century, the
College is prepared to educate the leaders of the 21st century.
The College of William and Mary was founded in 1693 by King
William III and Queen Mary II of England. Four Presidents of the
United States received their education at the College - George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and John Tyler.
William and Mary was the first college to institute an honor
code of conduct. The premier academic society, Phi Beta Kappa,
was founded by William and Mary students in 1776. The Society
of the Alumni, founded in 1842, is the sixth oldest alumni group
in the nation. Now the College is designated as a “Public Ivy”, and
ranks 15th among the best regional business schools.
The Wren Building is the oldest one in the United States in which classes
are still taught.
