"We look forward to celebrating the outstanding achievements of Andrew, Beth, Clinton, Lee, and Dara during our 2022 CSU Athletics Hall of Fame celebration on February 5," shared Scott Garrett, CSU Director of Athletics, "I hope that their teammates, coaches, co-workers, friends, family and Viking fans will join us for what promises to be a special evening."
Bailey (2011-14) was an integral part of building a men's golf program into a perennial Horizon League Championship contender, leading the Vikings to the top of the Horizon League twice during his outstanding career. A three-time Horizon League Player of the Year (2012, 2013, 2014), Bailey graduated as the Cleveland State record holder in single-season scoring average (72.3), career scoring average (73.5), single-season wins (3), career wins (5), and career par or better rounds (48). Two of Bailey's individual wins came at the 2011 and 2014 Horizon League Championships, making him one of just three players in league history to earn multiple medalist honors at the #HLGolf Championships.
In addition to his Player of the Year honors, Bailey was also named the Horizon League Newcomer of the Year in 2011, while earning First Team All-League accolades all four seasons of his CSU career. Bailey is one of just two league players to earn three Player of the Year honors, while he is one of five league players to be named to the All-League Team four times.
Bailey led the Vikings to a pair of Horizon League titles, helping Cleveland State capture the tournament championship during the 2011 and 2014 campaigns.
Bailey will become the fourth men's golf student-athlete to be inducted into the Cleveland State Athletics Hall of Fame.
Greulich (2006-09) was a mainstay in the volleyball lineup during her time at Cleveland State, leading the Vikings to their first-ever Horizon League Tournament title in 2007. A three-time Horizon League First Team honoree, Greulich helped Cleveland State post a pair of 20-win campaigns during her time, including a 26-8 mark as a senior in 2009 – a year in which the Vikings captured their first-ever Horizon League Regular Season title. For her efforts during her senior campaign, Greulich was named the Horizon League Player of the Year, while also earning All-Region First Team and Honorable Mention All-America honors.
In addition, Greulich was also tabbed the 2006 Newcomer of the Year in the Horizon League, and graduated ranked in the top-five in career kills (1,351), hitting percentage (.316), block assists (345), total points (1,602), and sets played (458).
Greulich led the Vikings to the program's first Horizon League tournament title during the 2007 season, while also helping the team set CSU single-season records for kills (1,945), kills per set (15.81) and assists (1,775).
Greulich will become the 12th volleyball student-athlete to be inducted into the Cleveland State Athletics Hall of Fame.
Ransey (1983-87) was an integral part of building a men's basketball program that gained national recognition during the 1985-86 season, when the Vikings made a run to the NCAA Sweet 16. As a three-time AMCU-8 First Team honoree, Ransey guided Cleveland State to three-straight 20-win campaigns – including a program-record 29 wins during the 1985-86 season. Throughout his career, Ransey recorded 1,946 total points, averaging 15.6 points per game, with both marks ranking in the top-10 in the CSU career record book when he finished his career. After playing in 125 career games – and appearing in the starting lineup during 122 of these contests – Ransey was named a three-time All-American, becoming one of just two men's basketball student-athletes to earn All-America honors during three separate seasons.
Ransey led the Vikings to back-to-back first place finishes in the AMCU-8 during the 1984-85 and 1985-86 seasons, while Cleveland State earned its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament during the 1985-86 campaign. During the 1985-86 NCAA Tournament, the Vikings notched upset victories over Indiana and St. Joseph's advancing to the Sweet 16 for the first time in program history. The following year, Ransey helped the Vikings earn their first-ever NIT appearance, advancing to the second round.
Following his four-year career as a Viking, Ransey graduated as the Cleveland State career record holder in steals (240), free throws made (445), games played (125), and games started (122).
Ransey will be the 27th men's basketball student-athlete to be inducted into the Cleveland State Athletics Hall of Fame.
Reed (2002-10) guided Cleveland State into one of the top all-around athletics programs in the Horizon League during his tenure, both on the field and in the classroom. Under his guidance, the Vikings claimed their first-ever James J. McCafferty Cup in 2007-08, which is presented annually by the Horizon League in recognition of the league's all-sport champion. During the 2007-08 season, the Vikings won five Horizon League titles (women's basketball, volleyball, softball, men's golf, men's tennis) and went on to claim 11 total championships during Reed's tenure. Along with the 11 championships, the Vikings made an appearance in the NCAA Tournament 15 times, turning Cleveland State into a nationally recognized program.
After being named the fourth Director of Athletics in school history in 2002, Reed helped the Vikings progress in the classroom, as he saw significant improvement in the number of student-athletes honored at the annual academic honors luncheon, while the department maintained a 3.00 GPA or higher during seven of his eight years at the helm.
During his time at Cleveland State, Reed also represented the Horizon League on the NCAA Management Council, served as the President of the NCAA I-AAA Athletics Director's Association, was a member of the NCAA Basketball Academic Enhancement Group, and served as the Chairman of the John McLendon Memorial Minority Postgraduate Scholarship Awards committee.
Reed will be the seventh administrator to be inducted into the Cleveland State Athletics Hall of Fame.
Toman (2010-13) was an integral part of the softball program during her four years at Cleveland State, playing in a record-setting 206 games throughout her career. As a four-time All-Horizon League honoree, Toman graduated as the Cleveland State career record holder in home runs (60), runs scored (145) and total bases (443), while ranking in the top five in seven other categories; batting average (.324), hits (200), doubles (47), triples (8), and RBI (154). Toman also set Cleveland State single-season records for home runs (19-2012), RBI (47-2010) and games played (59-2010), and was named the Horizon League Player of the Year in 2013.
Toman helped the Vikings post over 110 wins during her career, including a school-record 44 wins during the 2010 campaign when the Vikings finished 44-15 overall. Included in this record-breaking mark was a 22-2 record in league play, which the Vikings posted en route to claiming their second Horizon League Regular Season championship in program history.
Toman will become the ninth softball student-athlete to be inducted into the Cleveland State Athletics Hall of Fame.
