Suzie McConnell-Serio is a two-time Olympic medalist. She now coaches the sport that got her to the games.
Suzie McConnell-Serio was 22 years old in 1988 when she arrived in Korea to compete in the Olympics. The longtime Upper St. Clair resident had just received her degree, and had earned a sparkling basketball reputation, from Penn State University. She’d been through five months of tryouts for a spot on the U.S. Women’s Basketball team, and was feeling a bit of disbelief that her efforts had paid off on such a large scale. “On Aug. 18, 1988 they named the team and we left for Olympics that year,” McConnell-Serio said. “I just remember being so anxious and excited because it really was a dream of mine.” McConnell-Serio had traveled through Europe while playing with USA Select Basketball in the years leading up to the Olympics, but she said it…

Students from Robert Morris University are installing a small water-driven turbine at Allegheny Land Trust’s Wingfield Pines Conservation area in Upper St. Clair. The turbine will be driven from abandon mine drainage that flows from abandon coal mines under the South Hills. The turbine is located inside the AMD overflow pipe that runs 24/7. Advisors Dr. Yildrim Omurtag and Dr. Tony Kerzmann lead the team of senior RMU engineering students, Eric Balent, Chris Chavez, Ben Schermerhorn and Brian Bevilacqua.

Alex Gensler is flourishing in her collegiate career on the same floor where she won a WPIAL title for the Panthers in 2008
On a cold winter afternoon in Pittsburgh, the A.J. Palumbo Center at Duquesne University hosts a small crowd of fans taking in a women's basketball game: the Dukes against the visiting St. Francis (Pa.) Red Flash. A 5-foot-11 guard with long, brown hair tied back in a ponytail is on the floor for the home team. Her contributions on the stat sheet go largely unnoticed for most of the first half as she has yet to score a point within the first 13 minutes. But all the while she doesn't get rattled, she doesn't get frustrated. She keeps playing, finding ways to help her team without putting too much pressure on herself. Within the next seven minutes, she knocks down a 3-pointer in transition for her first field goal to give her …
