FACILITIES Mirenda Center for Sport, Spirituality and Character Development A state-of-the-art facility that serves as home to the university’s 22 NCAA teams. The men’s and women’s basketball teams and the volleyball team play home games in the main gymnasium, which seats approximately 1,200 spectators. The 72,000-square-foot building includes a grand foyer with impressive exhibits that feature five themes that connect sports to the Franciscan tradition: Play, Respect, Beauty, Balance and Reflection. The Mirenda Center houses the “Institute for Sport Spirituality and Character Development®”, the Athletic Department and a fully equipped fitness center and cardio room.
Bruder Athletic Fields
Neumann University team members are as intense with their compassion as they are with their competitiveness. Integrated with the Institute for Sport, Spirituality and Character Development, Neumann athletics emphasizes Reverence, Integrity, Service, Excellence and Stewardship in every sport.
MEET THE TEAM The primary mission of the dance team is to support the basketball teams, motivate the crowd, entertain the audience at games and other school functions, as well as promote overall school spirit. The dance team also strives to foster a sense of spirit and cooperation through appearances throughout the campus and surrounding community. The team will compete in the 2017 UDA College Nationals sponsored by Varsity in Orlando, Florida in January 2017.
The Bruder Athletic Fields are located in close proximity to the Mirenda Center and the residence halls. The men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s lacrosse and field hockey teams play on a lighted turf field that has seating for more than 400 fans. The Bruder baseball and softball fields were renovated for the 2013 season with seating for fans, press boxes and spacious dugouts.
Ice Works Ice Works of Aston, a 1,000 seat facility one mile from campus, serves as home for the men’s and women’s ice hockey teams. IceWorks has four ice surfaces, a full-service restaurant and bar, full-service pro shop, arcade and banquet/party rooms. The ice hockey teams have their own private locker rooms while the coaches have an office available at the rink.
Ethel Sergeant Clark Smith Memorial Courts The men’s and women’s tennis teams play on the lighted Ethel Sergeant Clark Smith Fund Memorial Courts. The complex holds four courts.
COACH MANCINELLI Alisha Mancinelli began dancing at the age of 4, training in ballet, jazz, modern, and pointe. She attended Saint Joseph’s University and was a member of the dance team for 4 years. After graduation she took on the role of coach, where she transformed the team into a nationally competitive team. Under her direction, the team had eight consecutive finals appearances at the UDA College National Dance Competition, including one third place finish and one second place finish. Alisha is excited to now be a part of Neumann University, where she aspires to help the dance team develop into an exceptional team capable of competing at a National level. She believes that the support of the administration and the talent and passion of the dancers will help this happen quickly. She truly loves all aspects of dance, and loves seeing the team members consistently improve and perfect their art. Alisha graduated from Saint Joseph’s University with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and a master’s in marketing. She currently lives in Aston, PA with her husband and four children.
