2013 SEASON PREVIEW2013 SEASON PREVIEWFollowing their most successful season at the Division II level, Ohio Dominican’s football team has high hopes for an encore as the Panthers enter the 2013 campaign.With loads of experience at the skill positions and a reloaded defense that came on strong at the end of 2012, ODU will look to build on its 8-3 record from a year ago in the always challenging GLIAC.

“We feel like we’re entering this year with a lot of confi dence,” head coach Bill Conley said. “The success we had last year, particularly in the second half, really springboarded us into the offseason. This year, we know that we can compete with anybody for all four quarters, which we’ll have to do given how tough our schedule is.”

The 2012 squad rattled off fi ve straight wins to close the season and earn a tie for second place in the conference standings. The Panthers ranked amongst the nation’s best in several categories, including scoring offense, scoring defense, rushing of-fense and sacks allowed.

Overall, the Panthers return 21 players who started at least one game last season, with a total of 51 letterwinners returning as well. Add in a talented freshman class and several transfers, and ODU feels that it has the right mix on veterans and skill to contend in the GLIAC.

“We have a lot more depth than we’ve had in the past and we’re really excited about the leadership on this team,” Conley said. “We’re excited to evaluate our freshmen and other newcomers to see how they fi t in on the two-deep and special teams as well.” QuarterbacksThe Panthers return junior all-conference selection Mark Miller (Cincinnati, Ohio) to direct the offense. As a fi rst-year starter in 2012, Miller threw for 2,099 yards and 21 touchdowns, completing 60.7 percent of his throws.

Miller picked up GLIAC Player of the Week honors after throwing for 230 yards and four touchdowns against Findlay, and he also had a four-touchdown game, along with a career-best 292 yards, in a win over Northern Michigan.

“Mark has really become a fi eld general for our team,” Conley said. “He’s done a great job growing as a leader this offseason and had a great spring. You feel much better about this position when you have someone with experience returning.”Backing up Miller will be senior Kevin Hatrick (Houston, Texas), who saw action in four contests last year, as well as freshman Austin Ernst (Cincin-nati, Ohio).

Running BacksArguably the deepest position on the roster is in the backfi eld, where the Panthers return their top three rushers from last season. “We can be in a position this year where we’ll always have fresh legs on the fi eld,” Conley said. “We can even play two of them at the same time as well. We have great depth at this spot.”

Sophomore Brandon Schoen (Olentangy, Ohio) burst onto the scene last year, gouging No. 4 Grand Valley for 298 yards in his debut, and would rush for over 100 yards in his fi rst fi ve games, fi nishing with 1,007 yards and 11 touchdowns on the season.“Brandon has a ton of speed and you can see that in how he separates from defenders,” Conley said. “He’s also a powerful back.”

Alongside Schoen is senior Mark Nichols (Pataskala, Ohio), who returns after averaging a team-best 7.0 yards per carry while fi nishing with 649 yards and eight scores. Senior Ronnel Spates (Cleveland, Ohio), who started fi ve games and ran for 361 yards and three touchdowns, also returns.

Receivers/Tight EndsThe wideouts proved to be explosive in 2012, as the passing game produced 35 plays of 25 yards or longer, including 11 touchdowns. Highlighting the returners are the top two pass catchers from last year in junior Abe Johnson (Cincinnati, Ohio) and sophomore Ronald McCloud (Cleveland, Ohio). Johnson led the team with 46 catches, going for 571 yards and eight touchdowns. “Abe might be our most versatile wideout,” Conley said. “He plays in the slot, has tremendous yards after the catch, and is a threat in the return game.”

McCloud and classmate Dez Stewart (Cincinnati, Ohio) combined to form a home run threat every time they touched the ball. McCloud averaged 19.2 yards per catch, leading the squad with 616 yards and tying Johnson for a team-best eight touchdowns, including a 93-yard score. Stewart, meanwhile, averaged 18.5 yards per catch and scored on touchdowns of 59 and 50 yards.

Also back for the Panthers are juniors Nick McKnight (Middletown, Ohio), who had a 40-yard touchdown against Grand Valley State, and Casey Williams (Nashport, Ohio), who started a handful of games last season.

At tight end, expect senior Nate Weeks (Marysville, Ohio) and sophomore Jerad Butler (Nevada, Ohio) to contribute for the Panthers. Both are solid in the run game and contribute on special teams.

Offensive LineThe unit that will see the most change on the offense comes in the front fi ve, where the Panthers have to replace all-conference linemen Tyler White and Andrew Car-penter, along with Zach Cook. That trio helped propel ODU’s offense to rank among the nation’s best in scoring and rushing and also allowed just six sacks the entire season. However, there are plenty of talented pieces back to help ease the transition for several new starters.

Senior all-conference selection Jake Brandt (Bexley, Ohio) will continue to man the right tackle position, and junior Perrin Cunningham (Cincin-nati, Ohio) is also back at left guard. Brandt has started 32 games the past three seasons, while Cunningham started all 11 games a year ago.

Vying for playing time will be Ben Copher (Dayton, Ohio), Michael Koehlke (West Chester, Ohio), Jarrod Howard (Dublin, Ohio) and Joe Farrish (Monroe, Ohio), in addition to senior Gheon Selemon (Gahanna, Ohio).

“All of these guys had good springs,” Conley said. “The biggest thing about them is that they are smart football players with high IQs, and we think they can pick up where we left off last year. It will be a challenge, though.”

Defensive LineDespite the graduation of key contributors in Eli Kovach, Vince German and Ben Patterson, Conley believes the depth on the line is the strongest at any point in his tenure at ODU.

“I’m excited for this unit because it has a great combination of experience, athleti-cism, and size, particularly our defensive ends,” Conley said. “We have guys who can run and enough depth to keep fresh bodies on the fi eld.”

On the ends will be Di’Andre Harrison (Columbus, Ohio), who burst on the scene in the second half of the season to lead the team with 8.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks, and Sydney Omameh (Columbus, Ohio), who redshirted last season. Also back is Anthony Smith (Zanesville, Ohio), who made six starts, and Jaylen Guevara (Sandusky, Ohio).

The interior is headlined by junior Tyrone Patel (Cincinnati, Ohio), who started seven games last season and tallied 22 tackles, while Paul Wesselhoeft (Logan, Ohio), Luke Carothers (Pick-erington, Ohio) and Isaac Jeffers (Mount Victory, Ohio) will also have early opportunities for playing time.

LinebackersThere will be several new faces in starting roles at the linebacker positions, though it features players with plenty of experience. Sophomore Warren Shields (Richwood, Ohio), who started just one game but still made 44 tackles (7.0 for loss) and registered three sacks, as well as Nikko Tanksley (Reynoldsburg, Ohio), who made 33 tackles (4.0 for loss), will play signifi cant roles in the Panther defense this season. Also returning is Martavius Lewis (Wellington, Fla.), who started 10 games and fi nished with 49 tackles and a pair of interceptions.

Competing for playing time at the outside linebacker spot – labeled the “star” position in ODU’s defense – will be senior Dominic Clegg (Powell, Ohio) and sophomore Austin Osborne (Jackson, Ohio). Clegg saw action in eight contests in 2012 and has 72 tackles in his career, while Osborne made 15 tackles last season on the defense and special teams.

“We’re expecting these guys to be leaders of the defense,” Conley said. “They can all run really well, which helps us defend against both the run and the pass.”

Defensive BacksDespite the graduation of Eisen Hardy, one of the all-time leading tacklers in school history, the Panthers return loads of talent and depth. Highlighting the returners is senior Justin Bell (Columbus, Ohio), a First Team All-GLIAC performer in 2012 who also picked up Pre-Season All-American honors for the coming year. Bell made 100 tackles last season, to go along with three interceptions and two forced fumbles.“Justin is one of the best players in the GLIAC,” Conley said.

Also back for the Panthers is sophomore Billy Eakins (Pickerington, Ohio), who started six games and ranked third on the team with 52 tackles. He picked up GLIAC Defensive Player of the Week honors after snagging two picks against Northern Michigan, while sophomore Brad McCurdy (Columbus, Ohio) also returns after recording 48 stops in 2012.

Sophomore Da’Twane Harris (Cleveland, Ohio) had a pair of interceptions and broke up six passes in six starts late in the season, and the return of junior Cody Culbertson (Galloway, Ohio) from injury also bolsters the defensive backfi eld.

“We feel like we are much improved back there with the experience we have,” Conley said. “They have the ability to make big plays and they’re athletic and physical.”

Special TeamsThe key components from ODU’s special teams unit return, and it all starts up front with fourth-year long snapper Tyler Hays (Altamonte Springs, Fla.). “He’s the unsung hero of the special teams,” Conley said. “He’s consistent and experienced and we don’t have to worry about that position at all.”

Sophomore Brent Wahle (Pataskala, Ohio) returns to handle the placekicking duties after picking up all-conference honors last year. He led GLIAC kickers in scoring with 87 points, drilling 10 fi eld goals and miss-ing just one extra point.

Also back is sophomore Michael Snyder (Clayton, Ohio), who will serve as the team’s punter for a second straight season. Snyder averaged 36.9 yards per punt, placing 12 inside the 20 with a long boot of 59 yards. Providing depth for the specialists is Justin Bonchek (Mayfi eld, Ohio), who can both punt and placekick.

HEAD COACH

Bill Conley, the second head coach in the history of the Ohio Dominican football program, enters his fourth season guiding the Panthers. Conley brings a wealth of knowledge and experi-ence both as a coach and as a nationally recognized recruiter to a team that has already shown success in its short history.

In 2012, ODU capped a stellar season with fi ve straight wins to fi nish with an 8-3 record overall, including a 7-3 mark in the GLIAC, which was good for second place. The Panthers placed three players on the First Team All-GLIAC list and for a third straight season re-wrote the school’s record book for rushing yards, touchdowns, yards per game and yards per carry. ODU ranked amongst the nation’s best in those categories, including 12th in scoring offense (40.8 points per game), 13th in rushing (244.9 yards per game), 27th in total offense (452.8 yards per game) and 27th in total defense (333.9 yards allowed per game).

The 2011 campaign was another step forward in the strong tradition of the Panther football program as ODU fi nished with a 7-4 mark overall, placing in a tie for fi fth in the GLIAC. ODU closed the season with wins in fi ve of its fi nal six contests, including a defeat of nationally ranked Hillsdale and regionally ranked Ashland and Indianapolis. Conley was named the OhioCollegeFootball.com Division II Coach of the Year and running back Mike Noffsinger shat-tered ODU’s single-season and career rushing records while being named a semifi nalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy. Ten Panthers earned All-GLIAC awards, and off the fi eld, ODU led the nation with three Capital One CoSIDA Academic All-American honorees and also led the GLIAC with 39 academic all-conference selections.

In his fi rst season with ODU, Conley directed the Panthers to a pair of victories in GLIAC competition, with six players earning all-conference accolades following the season. Under his guidance, Noffsinger set a school single-season record for rushing yards and linebacker Vincent Vasquez set the school mark and led the conference in tackles.

Conley previously served as an assistant coach for legendary Ohio State University Head Coach Earle Bruce from 1984 to 1987. He then rejoined the coaching staff at OSU for a second stint, garnering national acclaim as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator under Head Coaches John Cooper and Jim Tressel from 1992 to 2003.

During his 17 years as an assistant coach for the Buckeyes, Conley was consistently recognized as one of America’s top recruiters. His recruiting classes were constantly ranked among the top ten in the nation. He was selected by The Sporting News as one of the top fi ve college football recruiters in the country and was honored by ESPN as the No. 1 football recruiting coordinator in all of college football.

Over his coaching career, Conley has shown his versatility in the coaching profession by coaching linebackers, defensive ends, tight ends, and special teams. While at Ohio State, he was instrumental in developing a number of All-American and eventual NFL players such as Cris Carter, Thomas “Pepper” Johnson, Chris Spielman, Mike Vrabel, Andy Groom and Mike Nugent, among others. Conley helped lead the Buckeyes to the 2002 National Championship game in a thrilling double overtime victory over Miami, as well as numerous bowl appearances in the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Fiesta, Holiday, Hall of Fame and Outback Bowls.

BILLCONLEY

After retiring from Ohio State in the spring of 2004, Conley served as a National Recruiting Analyst for ESPN and as a contributor and analyst for Columbus-area print and broadcast media. He was also a highly sought after motivational speaker and his book, Buckeye Bumper Crops, is a favorite among Buckeye and football fans alike. The book chronicles Conley’s exploits as a player, coach and recruiter for Ohio State. Buckeye Bumper Crops is a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most successful programs in college football.

Conley is an OSU graduate and played on two Big Ten championship teams, including the 1968 Na-tional Championship team under legendary Head Coach Woody Hayes. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Education from Ohio State and a master’s degree in Administration from Wright State University.

Todd Goebbel is in his fourth season with Ohio Dominican, working as the Panthers’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the 2013 campaign.

Goebbel directed a high-octane Panther offense in 2012, as ODU fi nished amongst the nation’s best in scoring offense. The Panthers averaged 40.8 points per game, good for 12th in the country, and ranked 13th nationally in rushing yards (244.9 per game). ODU also ranked 27th in total offense, racking up 452.8 yards per game, and the Pan-thers had the eighth-ranked offense in passing effi ciency (161.0) while allowing just six sacks all season, the fi fth-best mark in the country.

Under Goebbel’s tutelage, ODU has enjoyed its most prolifi c rushing attack in school history. Running back Mike Noffsinger set the school single-season and career rushing records and was honored as a Harlon Hill Trophy candidate as one of the best players in Division II in 2011. Jeremy Fudge emerged as one of the top dual-threat quarter-backs in the conference, leading all GLIAC quarterbacks in rushing while also complet-ing over 60 percent of his passes.

The Panthers fi nished 2011 as the third-best offense in the GLIAC, averaging 31.9 points per game, and were also the third-best rushing offense in the conference and 27th in the nation at 211.7 yards per game. In his three seasons directing the offense, Goebbel has had 10 players earn All-GLIAC accolades.

In addition to his responsibilities with the Panthers, Goebbel is also in his third year assisting with the QBR Camp, which Ohio Dominican hosts during the summer.

Goebbel came to ODU from Marshall University, where he spent fi ve seasons as the Thundering Herd’s receivers coach. During that time, Marshall saw steady improve-ment among its receiving corps and in special teams, which Goebbel coached for his fi rst three years. Under his tutelage, Emmanuel Spann earned all-conference honors as a kick returner in 2006 and Chubb Small ranked among the C-USA leaders in the department in 2005. Goebbel brought a combination of quality, depth and balance to the Marshall passing game, which was evident in 2007 when fi ve wideouts posted 276 or more receiving yards.

Prior to joining the Marshall football coaching staff, Goebbel served as Ohio State’s defensive quality control coach for one season. In that role, he coached the specialists and assisted with special teams, assisted with fi lm breakdown of the opponents, scout-ing and self-evaluation of the Buckeye defense. Goebbel helped take the Buckeyes to an 8-4 record that included a win over Oklahoma State in the Alamo Bowl.

Pepe Pearson returns for his 10th season as the running backs coach for the Panthers. Prior to joining ODU’s coaching staff in its inaugural season of 2004, Pearson served as an assistant coach at St. Charles Preparatory School in Columbus for one year.

The Panthers have rewritten the school’s rushing records over the past three seasons, including a standout 2012 campaign in which ODU ranked 13th nationally in rushing offense (244.9 yards per game). Brandon Schoen ran for over 1,000 yards and ODU broke the program records for yards, yards per game, yards per carry and rushing touchdowns last season.

That success came on the heels of a 2011 season that saw running back Mike Noffs-inger be named a Harlon Hill Trophy Candidate as one of the best Division II players in the country. Noffsinger set school single-season and career rushing marks for yards and touchdowns. ODU also ranked third in the conference in rushing yards per game.

Pearson, a standout tailback for The Ohio State University, helped lead the Buckeyes to four straight bowl appearances from 1994-1997, including a 1997 Rose Bowl victory. A four-year letter winner for the Buckeyes, Pearson gained 1,484 yards and 17 touch-downs on 299 carries his junior year, and was selected All-Big Ten and team Most Valuable Player (MVP). He is the Buckeyes’ fi fth all-time leading rusher with 3,121 yards while playing under former head coach John Cooper.

After completing his college career, Pearson played in the National Football League (NFL) for the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers. He also played in NFL Europe, where he won the 2000 World Bowl Championship with the Rhein Fire, scoring the game-winning touchdown.

After Pearson’s decorated playing career came to a close, he jumped into the coach-ing arena. Pearson was the head coach of the Daytona Beach Hawgs in 2005-2006, formerly of the National Indoor Football League Arena Football Team, and was the Head Coach and General Manager of the Marion Mayhem, a member of the Continen-tal Indoor Football League from 2007-2009. He led his team to the 2009 conference championship with a record of 9-3.

A 1998 graduate of The Ohio State University majoring in Sociology, Pearson was a four-year starter and high school All-American at Euclid High School.

Ohio Dominican 41#4 Grand Valley 46Sept. 22, 2012 | Lubbers Stadium | Att: 10,499ALLENDALE, Mich. – A 21-point comeback in the fourth quarter gave Ohio Dominican’s football team a lead over No. 4 Grand Valley, but the Lakers rallied with a last-minute touchdown to claim a 46-41 win over ODU Saturday night in GLIAC action at Lubbers Stadium.

The Panthers, who trailed 40-20 at the start of the fourth quarter, had taken a 41-40 lead with 6:07 to play on a four-yard touchdown run by sophomore quarterback Mark Miller (Cincin-nati, Ohio).

ODU’s defense forced a punt, and the Panthers (2-2, 1-2 GLIAC) picked up one fi rst down before having to punt themselves. Grand Valley (4-0, 3-0 GLIAC) then moved 58 yards in seven plays and, facing a third-and-20 from the Panther 25, scored on a fade to the back of the end zone to go on top, 46-41, with 1:16 to play.

Miller and the Panthers moved to their own 48-yard line with less than 40 seconds to play, but his pass downfi eld was defl ected and then intercepted, and the Lakers kneeled the clock out.

Freshman Brandon Schoen (Olentangy, Ohio), in his fi rst action of the season, ran for a school-record 298 yards on 27 carries in the setback, the most of any Division II player this season. That helped the Panthers run for 395 yards as a team, second-most in school history, and generate 630 yards of total offense, fourth-best in history.

Ohio Dominican University is an accredited four-year liberal arts institution, founded in 1911 in the Catholic and Dominican traditions. The university has more than 3,100 students and offers undergraduate degrees in over 50 majors as well as six graduate degree programs. Ohio Dominican uses a student-centered approach, with a commit-ment to quality teaching and learning and a number of academic programs of distinction.

Academics are at the heart of everything done at Ohio Dominican University. Institutions of higher learning exist to provide education for their students, and that education starts in the classroom. It continues, of course, on athletic fi elds and in residence halls, in re-hearsals and clubs, in the library and the lab, but it begins with the relationship between students and their instructors.

ODU’s mission is grounded in our identity as a Catholic and Dominican liberal arts institution. The University’s motto - To contemplate truth and share the fruits of that contemplation with others - serves as our guiding principle of teaching and learning. ODU’s core curriculum, taken by all students, focuses on seven learning outcomes that collectively identify the institution’s expectations for what all students will be able to be and do as Ohio Dominican graduates. Additionally, students complete a sequence of courses in one of 50 undergraduate major areas of study including those in the arts, sciences, and professions.

Led by a talented faculty dedicated to excellence in teaching and committed to helping students learn, ODU’s student engagement model focuses on serving the whole student through personal attention and assistance in collaboration with the institution’s Divi-sion of Student Development. Ohio Dominican is fully accredited and offers academic programs at the baccalaureate and masters degree levels through fi ve divisions: Arts and Letters; Social and Behavioral Sciences; Mathematics, Computer and Natural Sciences; Business; and Education.

The University is signifi cantly expanding the level of on-campus student extracurricular activities and improving residential life. At the same time, Ohio Dominican has expanded its extracurricular offerings, providing a greater number of on-campus activities for both

residential and commuter students. A central focus has been the addition of a new Student Center and expansion of athletic programs, which attract student athletes and nonathletes alike, and foster alumni participation.

Student organizations and activities at ODU offer events and activities that relate to areas of academic interest, student government, artistic performance, multicultural identity, media, athletic, social, honorary, religious and service organizations. Ohio Dominican student activities and events are open to all students.

Over the past 10 years, Ohio Dominican has followed an aggressive expansion plan for its facilities which include three new residence halls; additional sports and recreation facilities; development of Sunbury Road as a gateway to the campus; the new Bishop James A Griffi n Student Center and a new science facility, Battelle Hall.

The 2010 - 2011 academic year will be a special time for the institution as its students, faculty, staff, alumni, community leaders and friends celebrate the University’s Centen-nial anniversary. Although the University will mark its Centennial birthday on October 5, 2011 (Founder’s Day), the calendar of events will commence in October 2010 and will continue through June 2012.

The Centennial theme, A Century of Transforming Lives, refl ects ODU’s Dominican heritage, history and tradition. This celebration encourages the University community to refl ect upon the transformative effect that Ohio Dominican has had on the lives its faculty, students, alumni, staff and friends.

Ohio Dominican is focused on becoming the preeminent Catholic institution of higher learning, providing quality programs in both the liberal arts and the professions, com-mitted to the fundamental value of liberal education, and deeply rooted in its Dominican tradition. Ohio Dominican is known for its student-centered and innovative approaches to teaching and learning; its commitment to excellence in academic and co-curricular programs; its commitment to service and community responsibility; its outstanding campus facilities and resources; its global outreach in response to educational needs; and its reputation for distinction in values-based higher education.

Recent additions to Panther Field include bleachers on the guest side of the fi eld with a capacity of 500 and a building that houses a ticket offi ce, concession stand and restrooms. Lights were also recently added to the facility, an addition that makes Panther Field one of the fi ner facilities of its size in the Midwest. The new facility replaced ODU’s former natural grass soccer complex and is located next to Alumni Hall on the west side of campus.

Alumni HallMen’s and Women’s Basketball, Volleyball

Opened in 1989, Alumni Hall has a seating capacity of 3,000 and is the home of the women’s volleyball and the men’s and women’s basketball teams. Alumni Hall was given a much needed renovation and expansion in 2009-10. One full-length bas-ketball court was added, the hardwood was resurfaced, and bleachers were added to the far side of the court.

After the renovation all of the coaches now have an offi ce on the second fl oor of Alumni. There are also several rooms that coaches may utilize to review game tape, hold team meetings and meet with future and current Panthers. Some of the other amenities in Alumni Hall are four locker rooms, the Black and Gold Room, a spa-cious conference room, a refurbished weight room that is available to both students and student-athletes, and an athletic training room. Alumni Hall has the capability of accommodating three regulation size basketball and volleyball courts.

Panther CourtsMen’s and Women’s Tennis

Also on the grounds of the Ohio Dominican Sports Complex west side location are six regulation size tennis courts complete with lights. The courts were recently re-surfaced with a blue Latex-ite® coating that resembles the courts that host the U.S. Open Championship. The tennis courts are enclosed with a green chain link fence to accommodate the Panther men’s and women’s tennis teams.

Panther Valley/Frank Damian FielDBaseball

First time visitors are pleasantly surprised by the hidden beauty of Panther Valley as they descend upon ODU’s prized baseball diamond. Sunken well below street-level and masked by plentiful trees, the only evidence of what awaits below is the echoing “ping” of aluminum bats meeting baseballs. The fi eld is complete with a batting cage, home bullpen beyond the left fi eld line and a visitor bullpen along the right fi eld line. A recent addition to Panther Valley is a state-of-the-art scoreboard complete graphics and animatronics. Panther Valley has developed year-by-year to the point that it is now considered one of the fi nest college baseball facilities in the country.

Panther Softball Field

Over the years Panther Softball Field has evolved into one of the nicest facilities in the state of Ohio. The brick dust fi eld is routinely praised by Panther opponents as the epitome of what a fi eld should be. With its dimensions of 210 to the corners and 225 to straight away center, this softball complex features enclosed dugouts, a scoreboard, bullpens beyond the left fi eld line, and an underground irrigation system.

Hitting Facility

Located next to the softball fi eld is the hitting facility for both the baseball and soft-ball teams. The hitting facility provides a place for both teams to refi ne their skills through the harsh Central Ohio weather. With the retractable nets, the hitting facility contains three batting cages complete with pitching mounds and pitching machines.

Panther Training Facility

Along with the addition of the new stadium in 2004, the Panthers added a 7,500 square foot training facility west of the main parking lot. The facility is equipped with the latest in hammer strength weight training equipment and ODU’s second athletic training room. Offi ces for athletic training personal are also located in the new facility.

Cumberland Trail Golf Club

The Panthers are fortunate to call Cumberland Trail Golf Club their home. The course, designed by Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry, opened in 1999 and measures up to 7,205 yards from the back tees. Known for its excellent conditioning and diffi cult design, Cumberland Trail ranks fourth in Central Ohio among public golf courses, according to Mid Ohio Golfer, and received 3.5 stars from Golf Digest. The greens at Cumberland Trail are considered by many to be the fi nest in the Columbus area and challenge even the best putters. The ODU golf team has unlimited access to the facility which includes a driving range and large practice green.

Golf Practice Facilities

ODU golfers have the ability to practice year round at one of two practice facilities. Bridgeview Driving Range, located just 6 minutes from campus, serves as the out-door practice facility during the Spring and Fall Grass tees, a large putting green, and an excellent short game practice area are just a few of the benefi ts available to our teams.

When the weather turns cold, ODU players practice at “The Dome”, the largest in-door driving range in Ohio. “The Dome” measures a full 90 yards from front to back and the indoor temperature is kept around 60 degrees. It provides the perfect environment for the golfers to improve during the cold winter months.
