Profile
Peggy
Evans '85
When ex-athletes
hit age 40, the tendency is to take life easy and rest the bones
and muscles used so strenuously in earlier days. So most observers
would assume Peggy Evans, one of Juniata's most dominating athletes,
a former track star, volleyball player and basketball player,
would be living a life of relaxation.
No, these days Peggy is donning shoulderpads, helmet, cleats and
other accoutrements and playing women's professional football.
More specifically, she is, at 5-foot-7 inches and 140 pounds,
the starting wide receiver for the Philadelphia Liberty Belles
of the Independent Women's Football League. She also plays defensive
back when the situation calls for it. Indeed, one of the cherished
athletic memories Evans has is of a recent shoestring tackle.
"The runner was a gal who had played on the Russian Olympic ice
hockey team, and she was over six feet tall," says the 41-year-old
mother of two. "I saved a touchdown."
So far this season, Peggy-number 20 in the program and No. 1 in
her family's athletic pantheon-has one reception for 19 yards
and an interception on a team that finished 4-4 for the season.
Married to former Juniata basketball player Jeff Ostrowski '84,
Peggy works for Jeff's business, Excel Physical Therapy. Her POE
at Juniata was corporate informations systems (accounting and
computer science). Last year when making a sales call, Peggy overheard
a woman talking about playing football. She immediately wanted
to know more.
After talking to her family, Peggy, who lives in Glen Mills, Pa.,
decided to try out for the team this year. A few weeks later she
was a full-fledged football player, joining a team whose ranks
include a chef, a state trooper, teachers, a mortgage broker and
even a crew person on the cable television hit "Trading Spaces."
After years of watching the game and personally playing nothing
more strenuous than golf, Peggy says she's really learning what
football is all about. Moreover, she's receiving solid support
at home. Son Curtis, 7, and daughter Carly, 5, attend her practices
and are clamoring to attend one of the Belles' games. Jeff hasn't
been drafted as of yet to help Peggy with drills. "I've got a
lot of neighbors who say they'll throw to me," she says.
Her athletic career at Juniata helped her to form a properly serious
attitude about playing football. "I always had a linebacker's
mentality on the volleyball court," she says.
Peggy's legacy at Juniata is one of a champion. She remains the
College's only individual NCAA Division III national champion,
winning the 1985 triple jump national championship. She was an
All-MACc volleyball player her junior and senior years and played
on the basketball team. She was in the first group inducted into
the Juniata College Sports Hall of Fame in 1995. Playing sports
at the College, "built confidence, allowed me to compete and taught
me to never take no for an answer and that anything is possible
no matter the odds."
Peggy finds her new career exhilarating. "You pull on those pads
and uniform and you feel like another person-like a female gladiator,"
she says. "Sometimes I'll be out on the field and I'll laugh to
myself and say, 'I can't believe I'm doing this!'"
