TC3 Softball Ranked 3rd in Nation
Panthers Recognized in NJCAA Division III Preseason Poll
DRYDEN, N.Y. The Tompkins Cortland Community College softball team is ranked third in the NJCAA Division III National Preseason Poll. It's the third straight preseason poll the Panthers have been ranked in the top ten. Following winning the national championship in 2009, TC3 was the preseason number one in 2010; last year TC3 was the preseason #6. In addition to finishing fourth in the nation in 2010 and third in 2011, the Panthers have been ranked in the nation's top ten in every poll the last two years. In 2012, the Panthers will be tested early. TC3 opens the season with a trip to Florida in March, where the first game will be against the nation's second-ranked team, the College of DuPage (Ill.). After a full slate of games in Florida, TC3 will return north for a trip through Pennsylvania and New Jersey, playing six games against top teams, including a doubleheader against the seventh-ranked team, Brookdale Community College (N.J.). Once regional play begins on April 10, TC3 will play a schedule of 24 games, including doubleheaders against two other teams in the preseason top ten. The Region III schedule ends with the regional championships, hosted by TC3, on May 11-12.

Dammi Herath Joins TC3 Board of Trustees
Herath Replaces Beverly Baker After 14 Years of Service
DRYDEN, N.Y. Dammi Herath of Ithaca has been appointed to the Tompkins Cortland Community College Board of Trustees. Herath was appointed by the governor's office to a term that expires June 30, 2018. She replaces Beverly Baker, who had served on the board since 1997. Herath is the executive director of the Women's Opportunity Center, a non-profit organization in Ithaca with the goal of helping individuals with their job search and training goals. Herath has led the Women's Opportunity Center since 1989, and has seen what TC3 can mean to some of the people she serves. "When I was asked to serve on the TC3 board I was excited to be part of a dedicated group that makes a difference in our community by providing people a second chance," said Herath. "A majority of the women we serve at the Women's Opportunity Center come to us with only a high school diploma. TC3 has changed many participants' lives by providing them a great education. " After obtaining a law degree and working as the executive director of an international research institute in her native Sri Lanka, Herath came to Ithaca in 1980 to further her education at Cornell University. She earned a master's degree in 1984 and her Ph.D. in 1986, both in Adult and Continuing Education. She worked as the assistant director of the Cornell South Asia Program from 1986 to 1988 prior to taking over at the Women's Opportunity Center. In her 22 years at the Women's Opportunity Center, Herath has often worked closely with TC3 to help her participants. Her connection to the College, however, goes back to when she first arrived in the area, and is more personal than professional. "When I came to Ithaca with my family in 1980 to study at Cornell, TC3 was the only college we could afford for my husband, Wije," she said. Wije earned his degree in hotel technology from TC3 and now the two own and operate Sri Lankan Curry in a Hurry, a food business at the Ithaca Farmers Market since 1990. Herath is extensively active in the community, already serving as a board member of Tompkins County Workforce and the Cayuga Medical Center. She says she's ready to help the College continue to serve the community. "The final outcomes of both TC3 and the Women's Opportunity Center programs lead low-income families in our community towards their economic independence," she said. Her serving on the TC3 board "is a great match." The Tompkins Cortland Community College Board of Trustees consists of 10 members, including a student trustee elected by the student body. The governor appoints four trustees, two each from Tompkins and Cortland Counties; the Cortland County Legislature appoints two; and the Tompkins County Legislature appoints three.

Samijo Scheer Repeats as All American
Goalkeeper Named to First Team for Second Straight Year
DRYDEN, NY Tompkins Cortland Community College's Samijo Scheer (Corning East H.S./Corning) is continuing to do things that have never been done at TC3. Last year she was the first TC3 athlete ever named an All American in two different sports, earning the honor in soccer and softball. Now, she is the first female in TC3 history to ever be named All American twice in the same sport, earning NJCAA First-Team All-American honors for soccer again this year. As a freshman last year, Scheer was named All American for soccer in the fall and softball in the spring. She started her sophomore year by leading the TC3 women's soccer team to a playoff run that ended in the NJCAA Region III semifinal round. She played every minute of every game in goal, recording a goals against average of 0.83. She posted a TC3 single-season record of eight shutouts, giving her 14 for her career, another TC3 record. "As a freshman, Jo was called upon to make dozens of difficult saves that enabled us to win some games despite being outshot by a wide margin. Her talent was obvious because she was always in action," said TC3 Women's Soccer Coach Mick McDaniel. "In her second season, our team was much tougher defensively which limited the number of shots she had to face. To gain All-American recognition for a second consecutive year, Jo needed to be sharp for only moments at a time and she did this with great success. Jo has always responded in big moments while always being quick to share her success and give credit to her teammates." Scheer also added her second straight all-conference and all-region honors this fall. A liberal arts and sciences: general studies major, Scheer is set to graduate in May 2012. "I am certain that Jo will make the same positive impact at a four-year program, both on and off the fields of play," said McDaniel, who is also the College's director of athletics and recreation. "We are all so proud of her tremendous accomplishments so far here at TC3."
