Former Wildcat makes transition from midfielder to job site
Dylan S. Klemas, a May civil engineering technology graduate and face-off midfielder while a member of the Wildcat men’s lacrosse team, proudly wore number 9 to honor an uncle who played for the Welsh national team. A new video gives viewers the opportunity to hear his story and learn what he loves about the tight-knit community he found at Penn College. “It’s put me in a great position. I have a job already lined up when I graduate (he has since assumed responsibilities as an assistant project manager at Berg Construction in Morgantown) and I haven’t looked back,” says Klemas, who did the hard work necessary to balance academics and athletics – and thrive at both. “It’s busy, it’s very doable. It’s actually made it a lot better because it’s taught me a lot more time management. The school puts a lot of resources out there to help us, whether it’s the Tutoring Center (or) a lot of late-night study hours with the team. It’s easy when you have a team of 43 guys that are all your good friends!”

Racket or hammer, student-athlete takes a hands-on grip
Meet Tucker D. Phillippe-Johansson, a member of the men’s tennis team who recently graduated with a bachelor’s in residential construction technology & management and an associate degree in building construction technology. “When I’m serving, usually I think about where I want to hit the ball before I do it,” the Mattituck, New York, resident says in a new Wildcat Spotlight video. “I kind of clear my mind so I don’t really think about anything else but the shot that I’m hitting.” It’s that singular focus that brought him success on and off the court, allowing him to compete collegiately and guaranteeing an immersive learning experience.

Penn College baseball, softball playoff schedules altered
Among the elite. That’s where Pennsylvania College of Technology baseball and softball teams find themselves going into this weekend’s United East Conference playoffs.
Coach Angela Stackhouse’s top-seeded and defending conference-champion softball team (25-3 in the UE and 27-8 overall) is making its sixth consecutive postseason appearance, while coach Chris Howard’s fourth-seeded baseball team (13-8, 20-16) is in its fifth straight postseason trip after falling in the semifinals a year ago. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no playoffs in 2020.
Because of rain in the weather forecast, the schedules for both tournaments have been changed. The double-elimination tournament for baseball that was scheduled for Friday through Sunday has been rescheduled for Monday through Wednesday, while softball play that had been scheduled for Friday and Saturday with a double-elimination format now has been changed to a single-elimination event with all games on Sunday.
Live video and stats will be available at the Wildcat Athletics webpage.
Winners from each of the tournaments will advance to the NCAA Division III playoffs.

Presidential windup delivers payoff pitch





Saturday’s baseball doubleheader produced more than a Wildcat sweep of Penn State Berks; it also brought retirement gifts that surprised and delighted President Davie Jane Gilmour.
A “thank you” video featuring wishes from college athletics teams – along with appreciative messages from interim athletic directors Matt J. Blymier and Britni I. Mohney – was shown on the Muncy Bank Ballpark scoreboard.
“We are incredibly grateful for your leadership, guidance and unwavering support of our student-athletes,” Blymier said. “We can’t possibly thank you enough for everything that you have done, and we wish you a very happy retirement.” “Thank you for providing our student-athletes a wonderful experience, our staff a great place to work, and for being a role model and trailblazer for women everywhere,” added Mohney, head women’s basketball coach.
The big-screen tribute was followed by presentation of a numbered and framed jersey in honor of Gilmour’s 24 years as president, during which the college grew into full membership with NCAA Division III.

Even off the court, give this team an ‘assist’




At 3 p.m. Wednesday, eight Wildcat women’s basketball players and coach Britni E. Mohney arrived to help prepare for this weekend’s Friends of the James V. Brown Library Spring Book Sale.
