ERIE, Pa. - Gannon officials have announced ticket policies for season ticket holders and advance ticket sales for this weekend’s NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball Atlantic Regional hosted by Gannon University at the Hammermill Center.

Per NCAA championship bylaws, Gannon University must reserve the first two rows behind each team bench to accommodate the fans of the teams participating in that current game. The policy will eliminate 80 seats from the reserved seating areas since each team will have the ability to put their fans in those seats.

Thus, Gannon will distribute all reserved seats (plush and chairback) on a first-come, first-served basis for all season ticket holders, beginning Wednesday, March 11 at 8:30 a.m. at the Hammermill Center. Please note this is a change from past ticket pre-sale locations. There will be 400 reserved seats available for sale and can only be purchased as a four-session (entire tournament) package. Cost is $40.

Only season ticket holders are eligible to purchase those 400 reserved seats and must show their season ticket pass when buying tickets. Also, due to the fact that the reserved seating section has been reduced, all reserved seating will be filled in order. Season ticket holders will not have the option to purchase their same seats. There will be no exceptions. Gannon apologizes for the inconvenience, but can’t change the policy based on the NCAA bylaws.

Season ticket holders will only be able to buy one seat per season ticket. So, it is highly recommended that multiple season ticket passes are present if you want seats together.
In addition to the reserved seating policy, all-tournament general admission tickets will be available in advance. The package includes admission to all four sessions and costs $32 for adults and $16 for students and senior citizens. The ticket pre-sale will run Wednesday, March 11 and Thursday, March 12 from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Hammermill Center. Again, please note the change in venue from past ticket pre-sales.

If tickets remain available, single-session general admission tickets for Saturday’s sessions will be on sale Friday, March 13 from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Hammermill Center. Single-session general admission tickets cost $8 for adults and $4 for students and senior citizens. If tickets still remain, ticket windows open at the Hammermill Center one hour prior to the start of each session.

Any questions regarding the reserved seating policy and advance ticket pre-sales can be directed to the Gannon athletic department at (814) 871-7416.

Athletes of the Week

Drew Deimel

Men's Golf

Deimel earned the final 2009-10 Gannon male athlete-of-the-week honor by qualifying for the 2010 NCAA Division II National Men's Golf Championship May 18-21 at The Sagamore Club in Noblesville, Indiana. The junior did so after finishing tied for sixth at the NCAA Division II Atlantic/East Regional last week at the Glade Springs Resort in Daniels, West Virginia. He is the first Gannon golfer to qualify for the national championship since current head coach Dave Patronik played in the 2003 event as a freshman.Deimel secured the last individual spot with a five-over-par 77 during the final round. He completed the regional with a three-round total of nine-over-par 225. Deimel opened the tournament with a three-over-par 75 during the first round, totaled a one-over-par 73 during the second round, before completing the event with a five-over-par 77. The junior opened the third round with an even-par 36 on the back nine, before turning around and scoring a five-over-par 41 on the front nine. He finished the day with 10 pars, two birdies, five bogeys and a double bogey - his first and only of the regional. The Erie, Pa., native recorded back-to-back birdies on the par-3, 180-yard 13th hole and the par-4, 384-yard 14th hole during the last day. It marked the first time Deimel had birdied either hole that week. He previously birdied the par-5, 501-yard 12th hole and the par-4, 420-yard 16th hole during each of the first two rounds. Deimel was one of four golfers who qualified for the NCAA Division II Atlantic/East Regional as an individual. He is the first Gannon golfer to be invited to an NCAA regional since Patronik played in the 2006 NCAA Division II Great Lakes/South Central Regional as a senior.

Taryn Millerd

Women's Lacrosse

Millerd captured the final 2009-10 Gannon female athlete-of-the-week honor by breaking the school scoring record for women's lacrosse. The senior midfielder recorded 12 goals, one assist, 13 points, one game-winning goal, two ground balls, three draw controls and one caused turnover during two matches in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Tournament last week. She opened the tourney with seven goals during a 15-9 victory at Mercyhurst in the quarterfinals. Millerd then added five scores during a late 19-18 loss at West Chester in the semifinals. Against the Golden Rams, she became Gannon's all-time leader in goals with 221. Millerd finished her collegiate career third all-time at Gannon in points (287) and ninth in assists (66).
