Streeter wins regional honors
Penn State Behrend enjoyed one of its best
all-around athletic seasons in 2000-2001,
and that did not go unnoticed by the Eastern
Collegiate Athletic Conference. The ECAC
named Behrend Athletics Director Brian
Streeter as one of two ECAC Jostens
Administrators of the Year. JoAnn Harper,
senior associate director of athletics at
Dartmouth College (an Ivy League school),
was the other winner.
The awards, which are presented to a male
and female administrator every year, are
given to those who are recognized for their
outstanding service. The ECAC presented
the awards to Streeter and Harper on
Monday at the ECAC Fall Convention
Honors Dinner at the Sheraton Hyannis
Hotel in Centerville, Mass.
"It's a true honor to be recognized by your
peers, to be recognized by the ECAC," said
Streeter. "It is a great recognition and I'm
happy for that. Even though the award was
given to me, the quality work our coaches
have done are recognized through this
award."
Streeter is currently in his fifth year as
athletics director at Behrend. Before he was
hired, Streeter was the head men's basketball
coach at Hobart College for 16 years while
serving as assistant athletics director for the
same amount of time.

Streeter is one of the more active athletic
directors around. Aside from his duties at
Behrend, Streeter also serves on several
other committees. He is a member of the
ECAC Board of Directors and chairs the
ECAC Championship Committee. He is also
the chairman on the ECAC men's south
soccer committee and the men's south
basketball committee. He is also part of the
selection committee for the Women's South
Volleyball committee.
His duties don't stop there, though.
Streeter just finished serving a two-year term
as the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate
Conference (AMCC), which is Behrend's
home conference for most of their sports
teams. He is part of the NCAA women's
soccer committee and the NCAA mid-
Atlantic selection committee for women's
softball. Streeter also is part of the Tri-State

Hopefully this particular lifeguard isn't looking for a drowning persop at the bottom of the Gorge. If so, it doesn't
look like she's being too successful. Of course, since she's only standing in less than a foot of water, maybe
there's hope.

local Board of Directors for
the American Red Cross.
"There are 312 schools in
the ECAC, and for myself
I try to work hard and
represent Penn State
Behrend the best way 1
can," said Streeter. "The
opportunity to work for Dr.
John Lilley, Dr. Jack Burke,
an,d Dr. Bob Light has been
great. The postseason
competition in the ECAC,
as well as the weekly and
yearly awards are all things
that really help our student
athletes."
Streeter isn't a stranger to
awards. He has won the
Schoenfeld Regional
Sportsmanship Award,
which is given by college
basketball officials, five
times. In fact, Streeter won
the award in 1995 by
beating out all other
coaches nationwide. In
1993, Streeter was named
as the Geneva, New York,
American Red Cross
Volunteer of the Year. He
has also been a vital part of the expansion
of the athletics department, including the
most-recently added teams last year
men's and women's water polo. Streeter was
also instrumental in Behrend's successful
attempt to replace 50-year-old Erie Hall with
the new, state-of-the-art Junker Center.
Behrend is a member of the AMCC in
every sport except swimming, water polo,
and track and field. The AMCC consists of
six other schools: Frostburg State, La Roche,
Pitt-Bradford, Pitt-Greensburg, Penn State-
Altoona, and Lake Erie College. Last year,
men's soccer participated in the ECAC
tournament and won their first game before
losing 1-0 in round two. Women's basketball
and women's soccer both made NCAA
appearances, while men's cross country,
women's tennis, and women's soccer all won
AMCC titles.

has expanded to include, as Streeter said, 312
schools in 16 states today. The conference
stretches from Maine to Pennsylvania, but
has started to expand to states outside this
area. The conference includes 112 Division
1 schools, 51 Division II schools, and 149
Division 111 schools (including Behrend).
The ECAC is also the largest single
conference within the NCAA, the governing
body of college sports. Behrend joined the
conference when it became a four-year
school in 1973.
"What I want to accomplish in my coming
years here at Behrend is to meet students'
needs, as well as athletes' needs, and to
provide continued recreational
opportunities," said Streeter. "We're lucky
to have administrative support for the
athletics program and excellent coaches as
well as quality student athletes who
understand the value of education."
