Hey, Nyline! Can you tell me when spring season occurs? I'd travel to see them if i could find out the particulars... That's an exciting prospect! If you were to attend and report, that would be a first. (I personally think that all attendees at spring ball have to sign non-disclosure agreements.) |

In that regard, Penn Quakers are a sometimes spring matchup. Just learned another Rose alum has grabbed a D1 position...at Penn.
The University of Pennsylvania’s Director of Athletics and Recreation, Dr. M. Grace Calhoun, has announced the hiring of Katie Schumacher-Cawley as Penn’s new Kenneth L. Gross Head Coach of Volleyball.
An All-America and NCAA champion as a player at Penn State, Schumacher-Cawley comes to Penn after 14 years at the University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC) including the last eight as head coach. She recorded 113 wins as the Flames’ head coach, which is third on the program’s all-time list, and oversaw UIC’s first Horizon League title in seven years when the Flames won it in 2012.
“I am excited to welcome Katie to the Penn Athletics family,” Calhoun said. “Her head coaching experience and successful playing career make her the right fit to lead our program. Katie will foster a competitive, hard-working, family-oriented culture on the court while recognizing the academic and athletic balance of our Ivy League student-athletes.”
“My family and I are so excited to begin a new chapter of our lives at Penn,” said Schumacher-Cawley. “I am thrilled to join a program that has such a rich tradition and has the best and brightest student-athletes that you will find anywhere in the world. I want to thank Dr. Calhoun, Scott Ward, and all those who share my vision for what we can achieve together. It is a tremendous time to be a Quaker, and I truly look forward to working with everyone connected to Penn Athletics as we strive to achieve new heights in the classroom and Ivy League championships on the court.”
As a head coach, Schumacher-Cawley mentored a two-time Horizon League Player of the Year and AVCA Honorable Mention All-Region selection in Stephanee Yancy—the first in program history—along with 11 All-Horizon League selections and three All-Newcomer Team recipients. In 2014, Nicole Johnson became just the second UIC player to earn Horizon League Freshman of the Year, while MaryKate Imrie was an AVCA All-Region pick in 2012. Schumacher-Cawley also played a significant role in coaching numerous UIC career record holders as a head coach or assistant including Yancy (hitting percentage), Katie Kozak (assists), Maggie Strus (digs) and Lana Lobdell (total blocks and block assists).
This past season, the Flames achieved the best start in program history as they rattled off 10 consecutive wins to open the year with non-conference tournament titles at Southeast Missouri (SEMO), Jacksonville and DePaul, and a win over local rival Loyola Chicago. Overall, the Flames finished with 16 wins, four more than the previous season.
Schumacher-Cawley was named the 2013 UIC "INSPIRE" Award winner in November 2013. As part of Employee Recognition Month at UIC, the award recognizes individuals who have based their work and daily attitudes on UIC's core values of Integrity, Nurturance, Service, Pride, Intellect, Respect and Excellence.
Prior to joining the staff at UIC, Schumacher-Cawley served as a volunteer coach for the University of Illinois for the 2002 season.
A 2002 graduate of Penn State, Schumacher-Cawley helped lead the Nittany Lions to the 1999 NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship and three Big Ten Conference titles during her career at University Park. She was a three-time All-Big Ten selection, two-time All-America, and an AVCA All-Region selection in 2001. Schumacher ended her PSU career with 1,310 kills, 772 digs and 299 blocks.
A Chicago native, Schumacher-Cawley played volleyball and basketball at Mother McAuley High School and led the Might Macs to state and national titles in volleyball. She was inducted into both the Girls Catholic Athletic Conference (GCAC) Hall of Fame and the Catholic League Hall of Fame in 2003. In 2008, a resolution in the Illinois House of Representatives congratulated Schumacher-Cawley for her achievements. On October 15, 2008, she was inducted into the prestigious Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame for her contributions to the sport of volleyball as an athlete and a coach. She was part of a class that also included Pro Football Hall of Famers Dick Butkus, Gale Sayers and Marv Levy; Chicago Cubs great Andre Dawson; and Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley.
Schumacher-Cawley is married to Mike Cawley. They have three daughters: Stella, Nora, and Shea.

I've never attended any. Coach Rose said after the NCAA match against Pitt that Penn State had played Pitt last spring. So the answer is yes, they have had a spring program and I assume they will this season. |

Russ told me that anyone could attend spring matches and scrimmages but finding out about them seem very difficult. They don't even talk about them after the fact.
