Why is his name tupper? Tupper, the Bryant University bulldog mascot, was named after Earl Tupper, president and founder of the Tupperware Corporation. Mr. Tupper donated his 220acre Smithfield farm estate to what was then Bryant College on October 24, 1967. Tupper, who had originally planned to sell his estate, was so impressed with Bryant thathe decided to donate the land instead, allowing Bryant to move from its original location on Providenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s East Side to its current Smithfield, R.I. residence. Originally nicknamed the Indians, Bryant became the Bulldogs in 1995. Out of appreciation for Earl Tupper and his generosity, when the school made the move, Tupper the Bulldog was born.

Bryant student-athletes have won eight ECAC Championships among seven different sports.

athletic

nder the leadership of President Ronald K. Machtley, Bryant University has evolved into one of the most progressive and leading institutions of higher learning in New England.

Hardly a president who remains behind the scenes when it comes to intercollegiate athletics, Machtley — a former collegiate student-athlete in his own right — has been an ardent supporter of Bulldog sports since becoming the University’s seventh president in 1996. Mr. Machtley’s “New Century Plan For Excellence” initiated the most significant enhancements to the Bryant campus and community since the university’s move to Smithfield, and athletics was no exception. His New Century Plan saw the Bulldogs’ varsity athletics program expand to 22 teams with the addition of football, field hockey, men’s and women’s lacrosse, and in 2005 men’s and women’s swimming. The addition of the new varsity programs brought about an overhaul of the university’s athletics facilities as well. These renovations are highlighted by the construction of Bulldog Stadium, which serves as the home of the Bryant football, soccer and lacrosse teams, as well as state-of-the-art fields for baseball, softball and field hockey. Changes to Bulldog athletics also inspired and supported the introduction of the Wellness Center, which provides Bryant with a health and fitness center that is second to none. Before assuming the presidency at Bryant in June of 1996, Mr. Machtley was best known as one of Rhode Island’s leading public servants. He served

as a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1988 to 1995 and was a member of the House Armed Services Committee. He was also the ranking Republican on the Small Business Committee’s Minority Enterprise, Finance and Urban Development Subcommittee and cofounder of the first House Working Group on Mental Health. As a reflection of the esteem in which his congressional colleagues held him, Mr. Machtley was elected president of his congressional class during each of his terms in the House. Upon completion of his term in Congress, Mr. Machtley served as a partner in the international telecommunications law firm Wilkinson, Barker, Knauer & Quinn in Washington, D.C. He is admitted to practicing law in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Florida. President Machtley is a 1970 graduate of the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. He earned a juris doctorate from Suffolk University in 1978 and served on active duty in the United States Navy. Mr. Machtley also completed 25 years of service as a captain in the U.S. Naval Reserves. He was a member of the board of visitors of the United States Naval Academy from 1992 to 1995 and currently serves on the boards of several corporations, as well as on the boards of many civic and charitable organizations. President Machtley and his wife, Kati, have two children and reside on the Bryant campus with their two dogs, Sandy and Paddington. Their son, Todd, is an undergraduate at Muhlenberg College. Their daughter, Erin, graduated from Villanova University in 1998.

BILL SMITH Director of Athletics ill Smith came to Bryant University in August of 2006, after spending eight years at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. He joined the Iowa State athletic department as compliance director in 1998 before being promoted to associate athletic director in 2002 and then senior associate athletic director in 2005.

At Iowa State, Smith managed oversight responsibilities for compliance, academic services, sports medicine, athletic training and strength and conditioning. Under his leadership and direction, Iowa State successfully developed an Academic Plan for Student-Athlete Academic Services, resulting in ISU's 89 percent

student-athlete graduation rate. A total of 290 student-athletes have earned Big 12 Conference Honor Roll recognition since 2001. While serving as compliance coordinator at ISU, Smith was appointed chair of the Big 12 Conference compliance coordinators group. During that time, he was also a member of the University's steering committee for NCAA Certification. Prior to joining the Iowa State staff, Smith served as executive associate director for compliance and championships for the Patriot League for one year. In that role, he managed 19 conference events, was the conference's

primary liaison with all coaches’ groups and directed league-wide compliance education programs. A native of Auburn, NY, Smith graduated from Colgate University in 1990 with a bachelor's degree in political science. During his time at Colgate, Smith played both football and lacrosse (1985-89) and was awarded the Tom Dodge Award in 1989 for exemplifying outstanding effort, determination and performance. Smith and his wife, Maura, have four children: Molly, Liam, Daniel and Marin.

life skills

STUDENT-ATHLETE ENRICHMENT ryant University is a recognized member of the NCAA’s CHAMPS/Life Skills Program. The program is designed to provide student-athletes with an enriched co-curricular experience, while assisting them in their pursuit of excellence in the classroom, on the playing field and in the community. The areas of focus for the life skills program are:

ACADEMICS, ACHIEVEMENT AND MENTORSHIP Student-athletes face many unique challenges in the areas of time management, study skills development, course balance and selection, and utilization of campus resources. The University and the department of athletics are sensitive to the high standards of success we expect from our student-athletes, and the support and mentorship provided to them is designed to enhance time management and study skill strategies, better preparing them for success. We also utilize tracking methods to ensure that all student-athletes are taking full advantage of the academic resources provided by the University. The mentorship of our student-athletes is designed to supplement — not replace —the academic advising offered by Undergraduate Programs. Additionally, all student-athletes are encouraged to develop relationships with the faculty and take advantage of the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) and the Writing Center on a weekly basis. ACE offers a variety of academic support resources, including learning skills assessments, learning labs, free tutoring services and learning specialists. In addition to ACE, study halls are mandatory for all freshmen student-athletes, as well as any upperclassmen with cumulative GPAs of 2.39 or below. Bryant student-athletes have a long record of demonstrated academic success: almost half of our studentathletes earned a GPA of 3.0 or above last semester, while more than 30 percent made Dean’s List. The University’s Chi Alpha Sigma chapter recognizes junior and senior student-athletes who achieve excellence in the classroom (minimum 3.4 GPA), in the community and in the playing arena. PERSONAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT College life is a new experience. Bryant addresses the added demands for student-athletes in the areas of social pressures, academics and the transition to a higher level of athletic competition. Educational speakers focus on social issues (substance abuse, gambling, sexual as-

sault and self-esteem), health and wellness issues, academic preparedness and campus community leadership. Value-based choices and the development of character are important components of the educational experience. CAREER ENHANCEMENT Student-athletes have a unique co-curricular experience that emphasizes leadership, initiative, teamwork, goal setting, goal achievement and extensive time management. This component of the life skills program focuses on student-athletes taking advantage of all of these tools in their career search and in the workplace. COMMUNITY SERVICE Community service programs coordinated by the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and the Peer Mentor Programs are opportunities to experience personal growth and development, as well as give back to the community at-large. Prospective members of Chi Alpha Sigma must fulfill induction requirements that include demonstrating positive community leadership and completing significant community service hours and projects.

Bryant student-athletes posted a 2.97 overall GPA — the highest in school history Seven programs posted team GPAs be er than a 3.0 for the academic year Nine programs posted team GPAs be er than a 3.0 for the fall semester Eight programs posted team GPAs be er than a 3.0 for the spring semester Four student-athletes achieved 4.0 GPAs in one or both semesters 283 athletes were awarded Dean’s List honors throughout the fall and spring semesters 124 student-athletes were named to the Northeast Conference Academic Honor Roll 193 student-athletes, 43 percent, exceeded the GPA of the overall student population 191 student-athletes, 42 percent, maintained GPAs at or above a 3.0 112 student-athletes have cumulative GPAs at or above a 3.2, while 10 percent boast cumulative averages at or above a 3.5

ATHLETIC SUCCESS As we endeavor to support our athletic program’s success on the playing field, Bryant University employs targeted programming in team leadership, communication, team chemistry and sports psychology as areas of focus. Additionally, the continued development of SAAC and its goal of garnering community support for all programs will continue to foster a sense of Bryant spirit and pride.

Bryant University 2009 Season Preview Since Marty Fine took over the Bryant University football program in 2004, there has been considerable improvement in competitive success in both the playing field and in the classroom. Taking over a program that managed only one winning season in the previous six seasons, Fine led the Bulldogs to back to back conference championships and two NCAA playoff appearances in only a short time. Now, Fine and the Bulldogs are taking things up a notch as they prepare for the program’s second season competing as a member of the Division I Football Championship Subdivision in 2009. But if 2008 is any indication, the success will be sure to follow. Competing for the first time in Division I last fall, the Bulldogs posted a 7-4 overall record, going 5-4 against Division foes including wins over future NEC foes Wagner, Robert Morris, Duquesne and Saint Francis (PA). Bryant will become a member of the NEC in the fall of 2012 upon completion of the transition to Division I. The Bulldogs will return 17 starters including 10 from a defense that finished the year ranked nationally in several categories including sacks, interceptions and rushing defense. Here’s a breakdown of how the Bulldogs shape up heading into the Fall of 2009.

OFFENSE OFFENSIVE LINE Anchored by three senior veterans, the Bulldogs will be counting on a blend of youth and experience for what looks like a stable offensive line for 2009. The Bulldogs lose starters Jacob Meyers and Alex Grande to graduation, but will welcome back key fixtures in tackles Pete Krafta (Milford, MA) and Ben Lyons (Westfield, MA) as well as John Tashjian (Paramus, NJ) who moves from center to guard for 2009. Juniors Jon Lewis (Sayville, NY), Bryan Brady (Floral Park, NY) and Randall Angel (Emmaus, PA) are expected to compete for starting positions and should see valuable time this season along with sophomors Ray Bundy (Bristol, RI) and Tony Edwards (Damascus, NJ). Bundy was solid in his first season at guard for the Bulldogs, seeing action in all 11 games and heads into his second season as the projected starter at the left guard spot. Edwards is another expected starter with experience under his belt and will be the team’s starting center heading into the new year.

QUARTERBACK 12

There will be a new starting signal caller at quarterback for the Bulldogs this season. Jay Graber, last year’s starter who threw for 1,676 yards and 13 touchdowns, has graduated, and there’s a strong cast of returners looking to compete for the starting position. Senior Kurt Spear (Greene, NY) is the leading candidate to be Graber’s replacement heading into preseason camp. Spear was the primary backup last year and played very well in Bryant’s non-conference game at UMass. Last year’s starting quarterback Jay Graber has graduated after starting in all Senior Nick Scardelli (Manalapan, NJ) and junior Mike Croce (Waterbury, CT) will also battle for playing time. Both are very athletic with strong arms and firm understanding of the offensive system.

RUNNING BACK / FULLBACK A key component in the success of the Bulldogs in ‘08 will once again be crucial this season as the explosive duo of Lindsey Gamble (Roxbury, MA) and Jerell Smith (Brookly, NY) are back for the senior seasons. The Bulldogs The pair of have been part of Bryant’s exciting one-two punch out of the backfield for the past two seasons. Smith, a transfer from Howard University, rushed for a team-best 1,254 yards and six touchdowns. He went over 100 yards in seven of 11 games including a career-best 221 yard, two touchdown performance in the win over Southern Connecticut. He closed out the year with 150 yards on 21 carries in the road win at Saint Francis PA. Gamble had 792 yards in 10 games and a team-high seven touchdowns. He had a pair of 100-yard games and played a key role in the team’s win at Iona where he rushed fro 163 yards on 15 carries. The running back position will be very competitive and deep with junior Mike Canfora (Verona, NJ) and sophomore BJ Aponte (New Britain, CT) and Eloma Johnson (Franklin, MA) expected to compete as well. Canfora played in all 11 games and scored three touchdowns while Aponte and Johnson enjoyed a successful spring. Two starting fullbacks have graduated but look for junior Zach Wilson (Yarmouthport, MA), a former defensive lineman, and junior Connor Cardew (Ipswich, MA) to help pave the way for the Bulldog running backs.

WIDE RECEIVERS The wide receiver position has thrived under the play-calling of Fine, but in 2009, the Bulldogs will need to replace starter Ross Giffune who

Jerell Smith has rushed for 1,873 in two seasons for the Bulldogs including 1,254 in 2008.

catught a team-best 29 catches last season. Anthony DiNaso (Staten Island, NY) is poised for a breakout season after hauling in 24 passes for 303 yards as a sophomore in 2008. A physical reciever with good speed across the middle, DiNaso has the ability to turn short passes into big gains. He had three touchdown receptions in ‘08 including two against Monmouth and one in the team’s win over Wagner. ready for a breakout season gives the team speed for the deep threat. Vinton South (Dumont, NJ) is another experienced veteran back for his final season with the Bulldogs. His height (6-2) will give the Bulldog quarterbacks a good target down the sideline.

TIGHT END The tight ends have played a big role in the team’s third-down conversion and redzone offense under Fine. Senior Doug Emerzian (Rowley, MA) is back while juniors Matt Kelley (Lincoln, RI) and Matthew Hunt (Greenbrook, NJ) gained valuable experience competing with the junior varsity. Six-foot-five Newcomer Matt Tracey (Littleton, CO) is expected to provide excellent pass protection as well as contribute offensively as another option for the quarterbacks.

Bryant University 2009 Season Preview Headline Text DEFENSE With 10 of 11 starters returning, Bryant’s defense will be the strength of this year’s club. The Bulldogs finished the year ranked in the top20 in several defensive categories nationally, proving to be so critical to the team’s successful 7-4 season in the program’s first at the Division I level. One of the biggest reasons for the success was the team’s ability to create turnovers that ultimately led to points on the offensive end. Bryatn finished the year ranked tied for 11th nationaly with a 1.09 turnover ratio, forcing 30 turnovers (tied for 12th) while giving up the ball just 18 times. The 17 pass interceptions was 17th-best in the nation while the defense against the run ranked 16th with just 100.82 yards allowed per game.

DEFENSIVE LINE The front four of brothers Patrick and Peter Gauthier (Woonsocket, RI), Don Smith (Attleboro, MA) and nose tackle Andrew Regan (West Newbury, MA) are all back and raring to go. With good size and physical ability, they should

tough to run against just as they were a year ago. Smith, who worked out for NFL scouts in the spring, has the size (6-4, 240), speed and strength to get to the quarterback in a hurry. As a junior in ‘08, Smith had 43 tackles and racked up a team-best nine sacks. In all, Bryant finished the year ranked tied for 15th nationally with 30 sacks. Junior Cheyenne Ray (Bellport, NY) will be a solid backup at defensive end. As a sophomore, Ray had a breakout season with 17 tackles including five for a loss and one sack. He has tremendous speed and quickness for his size. In addition to his five quarterback hurries, he had a pair of pass breakups and one interception returned for 29 yards. Joshua Janes (Newport, RI), Joe Iaquinto (Dix Hills, NY), Nick Bonadies (Leonia, NJ) and Cody Aughney (Henderson, NV) all look to compete as backups.

LINEBACKERS Another position with excellent experience back for the Bulldogs in ‘09 is at the linebacker spot. The Bulldogs graduate just one, Dan Curci, from last year. Curci was a starter before a seasonending injury sidelined him two games in. In his place saw the emergence sophomore Franck Tebou (Mattapoisett, MA) and Jason Riffe (Newton, MA). Tebou played in all 11 games registering 27 tackles to go with five tackles for a loss. Riffe finished fourth on the team with 48 tackles including eight for a loss and three sacks. Senior Nick Candito (West Boylston, MA) is another regular who adds experience at the linebacking unit. The key for coach Fine and the defense is the return of Paul Polomski (Franklin, MA) for his senior season. A starter since his freshman year, Polomski was named co-captain by his teammates. His versatility and nose for the ball will be important as the driving force on the defensive side this season. Polomski led the team with 67 tackles and three sacks and picked off three passes on the year. He enters his senior season with 191 total tackles in his three years and eight interceptions. Sophomores Luke Steinke (Rutland, VT), Mike Abany (Mansfield, MA), senior Jackson Davis (Basalt, CO) and Dan Weaver (Bloomfield, PA) give the team excellent depth.

SECONDARY

Defensive end Don Smith recorded 8.5 sacks in 2008, giving him eleven for his career .

It will be hard to replace team MVP Bryce Martins at the safety position. Martins not only finished second on the team as a senior last year with 61 tackles, but his hard-hitting ability made his presence felt every weekend .

But the Bulldogs will be fine as seniors co-captain Michael Morgan (New London, CT) returns after missing last year as a medical redshirt and looks to regain his starting position at corner . Sophomore Samad Wagstaff (New Rochelle, NY) gained valuable experience in his first season in ‘08 where he picked off five passes on the season and picked up nine tackles on the year. Classmate Michael McGowan (Attleboro, MA / Bishop Feehan) also saw valuable experience due to injuries in his first year while the Bulldogs also expect the return of senior Anthony Thomas (Boston, MA) to help shore up the depth at the corner position. Strong safety Andre Whyte (Bennington, VT), who also worked out for NFL scouts, has linebacker size but excellent speed and hopes to have a big senior season. Last year, Whyte was third on the team behind Martins Polomski and Martins with 51 tackles plus added four pass breakups and two interceptions. He’ll be backed up by the return of senior Kevin Menawonu (Providence, RI) who missed last year due to injury but is back, strong and ready to go for the new season. Junior Addison Lynch (Braintree, MA), who also filled in as a regular because of injuries, saw action in all 11 games last year and finished with 45 tackls and five pass breakups. he also led the team with three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Sophomore Tyler Carter (Baltimore, MD) will backup Lych while senior Anthony Castelli (Cranston, RI) should see time at strong safety as well. Last year, Castelli had a fumble recovery for a touchdown in Bryant’s road win at Wagner.

About The NEC Embarking upon its 29th season, the Northeast Conference and its member ins tu ons look forward to a new era of growth and opportunity in 2009-10. Driven by a new strategic plan, the NEC will strive to be recognized as an NCAA Division I leader for student-athlete achievement, integrity, compe veness and na onal engagement. The NEC can trace its roots back to 1981, when the league was first established as the men’s basketball-only ECAC-Metro Conference. A single-sport en ty at its incep on, even the league's most ardent supporters during its forma ve years could not have envisioned a transforma on into a burgeoning 12-member, 22-sport conference. The remarkable success story of the conference began to unfold in 1985, when the league began sponsoring addi onal sports. Three years later, a change of name was in order and the Northeast Conference as we know it today was born. With membership and sport sponsorship con nuing to grow over the next decade and beyond, the NEC now enjoys qualifica on or play-in access to 13 different NCAA Championships (baseball, men's and women's basketball, field hockey, men's and women's golf, women's lacrosse, men's and women's soccer, so ball, men's and women's tennis and women's volleyball). Though the NEC has featured various looks since its incep on, charter members Fairleigh Dickinson, Long Island, Robert Morris, St. Francis (NY), Saint Francis (PA) and Wagner remain part of the current 12-school alignment. They are joined by Monmouth (admi ed in 1985), Mount St. Mary's (1989), Central Connec cut State (1997), Quinnipiac (1998) and Sacred Heart (1999). NEC expansion, which will culminate in 2012 with the addi on of Bryant University as the league’s 12th member, will give the league a six-state geographic footprint with access to such major media markets as New York City, Bal more, Pi sburgh Har ord and Providence. With the addi on of women’s bowling this fall, NEC member ins tu ons will now compete in 22 championship sports: baseball, men's and women's basketball, women’s bowling men's and women's cross country, field hockey, football, men's and women's golf, men's and women's indoor track and field, women's lacrosse, men's and women's outdoor track and field, men's and women's soccer, so ball, women's swimming, men's and women's tennis, and women's volleyball. Men’s lacrosse will become the league’s 23rd sport by the 2011 season.

CENTRAL CONNECTICUT 45 BRYANT 37

August 30, 2008 Arute Field, New Britain, CT Att: 3,218 NEW BRITAIN, CT - If there were any questions as to whether the Bryant University football team was ready for Division I, Saturday's effort at Central Connecticut provided all the answers. Facing a talented Blue Devil team in the school's season opener, Bryant pushed the hosts to the limit before coming up short, 42-35 at Arute Field. Bryant rushed for 134 yards on the ground led by Jerell Smith's 93 yards on 14 carries while Lindsey Gamble gained 81 yards to go over the 1,000 yard mark for his career. Bryant (0-1) trailed 21-13 at the half, but roared back as the Bulldog defense kept the Blue Devil offense in check for most of the second half. A Lindsey Gamble 24-yard run down to the Central 33-yard line early in the fourth helped set up a 15-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jay Graber to Michael Canfora, trimming the lead Central lead down to two, 21-19. Going for the two-point conversion, Graber hit Vinton South across the middle to complete the 2-point conversion and tie the game at 21-21. Another strong defensive stop forced Central into another three and out by the Blue Devil offense. But on the ensuing punt, the Blue Devils failed to get the punt off and the Bulldogs took over deep in the Central Connecticut territory. Three plays later, Gamble rumbled in from a yard out and the Bulldogs took their first lead of the game. James Mallory finally gave Central Connecticut (1-0) fans something to cheer for in the second half as he broke free down the left side line for a 92-yard touchdown run to knot the game back up at 28-28. Special teams play haunted the Bulldogs and after failing to pick up a first down, Central managed to block another Bulldog punt and Cory Robinson fell on the ball in the end zone to push the Blue Devils back out in front 35-28. Central Connecticut opened the game blocking a Bryant punt on the Bulldogs' opening drive in the first quarter as Jordan Knight picked up the loose ball and ran it back 22 yards for the game's first score. Bryant would answer again, however, as Canfora and Graber hooked up for a 20-yard touchdown to tie the game at 35-35 with 4:43 left to go in the game, but a big play by Central put the game away moments later. On second down, junior Nick Colagiovanni saved day for the Blue Devils as quarterback Aubrey Norris completed a short pass to Colagiovanni but the junior broke free through the secondary for a 70-yard touchdown to make it 42-35 with 3:25 left. The Bulldogs were unable to counter, coming short as Graber's fourth-down pass with just over a minute left fell incomplete and the Blue Devils were able to run out the clock. Bryant finished with 350 yards of total offense as quarterback Jay Graber completed 19 of 36 passes for 216 yards and three touchdowns. Paul Polomski and Bryce Martins led the defensive effort with 10 and nine tackles respectively. Chris Bird had a big day kicking a 37-yard field goal in the first half and adding a school-record 46-yard field goal at the end of the half to make it 21-13 at the break.

GAME 2 BRYANT 39 SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT 36

September 6, 2008 Bulldog Stadium, Smithfield, RI Att: 2,417 SMITHFIELD, R.I. (9/6/08) - Junior running back Jerell Smith rushed for a career-high 221 yards on 34 carries to help lead Bryant University to a 39-36 non-conference win over Southern Connecticut before 2,417 at Bulldog Stadium. The win improves Bryant's record to 1-1 on the season. Southern Connecticut drops to 1-1 on the season. In the first matchup between the two schools since last year's NCAA playoffs, won by the Owls 45-28, the Bulldogs capitalized on several Southern Connecticut mistakes to pull out the fourth quarter, come-from-behind victory. Southern Connecticut (1-1), ranked 20th in Division II and picked to win the Northeast-10 Conference this season, got a strong passing effort from quarterback Steve Armstrong. The senior signal caller was 17 for 23 passing for 282 yards and threw three touchdowns before leaving the game with an injury early in the third. Armstrong's replacement Kevin Lynch came on to throw a pair of touchdowns, including a 75-yarder to Ty Marshall to vive the Owls a 28-21 lead with 3:30 left in the third. But in the fourth quarter, key plays by the Bryant defense and special teams and the hard running of Smith, helped Bryant rally. A Samad Wagstaff interception near midfield as the quarter came to a

close resulted in a Smith 10-yard touchdown. On the ensuing kickoff, Southern fumbled the return and Bryant's Franck Tebou was there to recover. That play led to another Smith touchdown, making it 3328 with 13:17 left. Another fumble on the kickoff by the Owls gave the ball back to the Bulldogs and this time Mike Canfora was there to bull his way in from the 1-yard line to put Bryant on top 39-28. Lynch and the Owls were done, as the freshman connected with Pete Digangi for a 6-yard score to pull to within 39-36 with 7:53 remaining. Bryant was forced to punt after the drive stalled out at their own 34 yard line, but on Southern's next possession, linebacker Paul Polomski picked off a Lynch pass at the 45 yard line and the Bulldogs were able to run out the clock. Smith's 221 yards are a career-high for the Howard University transfer and the seventh-most yards in a game, tying him with Lorenzo Perry who had 221 at Assumption in 2008. Quarterback Jay Graber completed 13 of 25 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns while Vinton South caught three passes for 64 yards. Ty Marshall had seven catches for 203 yards and two scores for Southern Connecticut . Jarom Freeman, who rushed for an NCAA Division II record 418 yards against the Bulldogs last year, was held in check by the Bulldog defense. The junior finished with 70 yards on 16 carries in the game. Bryce Martins had 11 tackles on the season while Andre White added seven.

GAME 3 BRYANT 20 MERRIMACK 7

September 13, 2008 Bulldog Stadium, Smithfield, R.I. Att: 5,530 SMITHFIELD, R.I. (9/13/08) --- Junior tailback Jerell Smith (Brooklyn, NY) rushed for 130 yards on 27 carries to lift the Bryant University football team to a 20-7 non-conference win over Merrimack College before an overflow crowd of 5,530 fans on Homecoming & Reunion Weekend at Bulldog Stadium. Bryant, with the win, improves to 2-1 on the season heading into next weekend's home game with Monmouth College (1 p.m.). Merrimack, which turned the ball over seven times in the game, drops to 1-1. The Bulldogs, who forced seven turnovers in last week's win over Southern Connecticut, took advantage of an early miscue by the Warriors to get on the board first. A Paul Polomski (Franklin, MA) interception of a Kurt Leone pass midway through the first quarter led to a 31-yard field goal by Chris Bird, giving the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead. Bryant would never trail again. In the second quarter, another interception, this time by Bryant freshman cornerback Samad Wagstaff (New Rochelle, NY), off a pass by Leone helped set up the Bulldogs' first touchdown of the game. Wagstaff, who added another interception in the second half to give him five for the season, returned his first of the day 20 yards to midfield, giving the Bulldogs excellent field position. Seven plays later, Lindsey Gamble (Roxbury, MA) plunged in from a yard out to make it 10-7. Smith would add a 20-yard touchdown run in the final minute of the second quarter to send the Bulldogs into the locker room up 200 at the break. Smith, after a career-best 221 yards against Southern Connecticut last week, went over the 1,000 yard mark in his career Saturday. His 130 yards against Merrimack gives him 1,063 yards, becoming the seventh player in school history to go over 1,000 yards rushing in a career. Bryant quarterback Jay Graber (Clarksburg, NJ) completed 14 of 22 passes for 117 yards while Ross Giffune (Foxboro, MA) had a fine day, catching four passes for 43 yards including a long of 17. In addition to forcing seven turnovers, Bryant's defense held Merrimack's run-and-shoot offense to 278 yards in the game. Leone finished the game completing 12 of 36 passes for 143 yards. Backup Mike Sarnese came on later in the second half to replace Leone and completed 4 of 14 attempts for 84 yards but was intercepted three times including once in the end zone by Andre Whyte (Bennington, VT).

GAME 4 MONMOUTH 30 BRYANT 17

September 20, 2008 Bulldog Stadium, Smithfield, R.I. Att: 2,107 SMITHFIELD, R.I. (9/20/08) -- Senior running back David Sinisi rushed for 171 yards on 26 carries and scored twice as visiting Monmouth earned its first victory of the season defeating Bryant University 30-17 in non-conference football action before 2,107 at Bulldog Stadium. Monmouth (1-3) got on the board first as quarterback Brett Burke

found John Nalbone for a 6 yard score on the Hawks' second drive of the game. But Bryant would come right back as quarterback Jay Graber engineered a 12-play, 81 yard drive capped by a Jarrett Solimando 5 yard touchdown reception to tie the game up at 7-7 in the first. It was Bryant's longest scoring drive of the season. A Fred Weingart 20 yard field goal and a 3 yard touchdown run by Bobby Giles in the second quarter gave the visitors a 17-7 halftime lead. Bryant (2-2) managed to trim the lead thanks in part to a 19-yard field goal by Chris Bird, but Sinisi and the Hawks put the game away in the fourth with two quick scores, the second coming on a big defensive stop. Sinisi scored the first of his two rushing touchdowns on the day with a 2 yard run up the middle at the start of the final quarter to make it 23-10. Looking to counter, the Bulldogs moved the ball deep into Monmouth territory thanks an impressive 10-play drive. But with the ball on the Hawks' 8 yard line, Graber was intercepted by linebacker T.J. Cerezo in the end zone for a touchback and the Bulldogs came away emptyhanded. Three plays later, Sinisi broke through for a game-clinching 70 yard touchdown run down the middle to make it 30-10 and the Hawks never looked back. Sinisi entered the game averaging 133 yards rushing . Graber finished with 261 yards passing on the day and two touchdowns. Anthony DiNaso caught 5 passes for 70 yards while Ross Giffune and Solimando also added five catches for 45 and 42 yards receiving respectively.

Defensive back Samad Wagstaff picked off two passes vs. Merrimack to give him five in three games.

2009 Bulldog Football

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (9/27/08) - Bryant tailback Jerell Smith (Brooklyn, NY) rushed for 143 yards on 31 carries and the Bulldog defense turned in one of its finest games of the season as the Bulldogs knocked off Wagner College 24-14 Saturday.

Bryant University 2008 Game By Game Results The win is Bryant's first over a Division I opponent in six tries and the first this season over a member of the Football Championship Subdivision (Bryant defeated DII Merrimack and Southern Connecticut earlier this year). Jay Graber completed 8 of 17 passes including a clutch 20 yard while Lindsey Gamble added 44 yards rushing in the victory. But the story of the day was the play of the Bulldog defense that held Wagner to just 219 yards of offense - including 100 yards through three quarters - before 1,467 on a wet and dreary day at Wagner College Stadium. Bryant overcame a pair of fumbles on punt returns in the game, but made the plays when they had to. It didn't hurt much in that Wagner's offense struggled against the Bryant defense all afternoon. Wagner did strike first as quarterback Adam Farnsworth hit tight end Peter Zagorski with a short pass but the senior was able to break a few tackles and rumbled down the home side line for an 80-yard score. But the play was the only highlight on the day for the Seahawks who were penalized seven times in the game - including several unnecessary roughness penalties. But the Bulldog defense, coming into the game shorthanded with several starters out of the game, stormed right back to take command of the game. An Andre Whyte block of a Kyle Muir punt attempt was recovered by Anthony Castelli who returned it 4 yards to tie the game at 7-7. Later in the first, free safety Bryce Martins helped set up the goahead score intercepting Adam Farnsworth inside the Wagner 20 yard line and returning it to the 15. One play later, Lindsey Gamble scored from four yards out to make it 14-7. The wet conditions caused more special teams trouble for Wagner as Muir couldn't handle another snap on a punt attempt and the Bulldogs took over near midfield. Bryant was able to drive down to the Wagner 3 yard line, aided by a beautiful pass from Graber to tight end Jarrett Solimando across the middle. But the Bulldogs couldn't get into the end zone but did come away with three points on a Chris Bird 20 yard field goal to make it 17-7. The Bulldogs opened the second half with an efficient 8 play, 46 yard drive capped by a Graber 7 yard touchdown pass to Staten Island, N.Y. native Anthony DiNaso to make it 24-7. Another defensive surge helped put the game away in the waning minutes. With the Seahawks driving late in the fourth, a Samad Wagstaff blitz from the blind side forced an errant pass by backup quarterback Matt Abbey as John Suarez picked off Abbey and returned the ball deep into Wagner territory. Martins led the way with six tackles while Paul Polomski (Franklin, MA) had five tackles. Defensive end Don Smith (Attleboro, MA) had a huge day, finishing with five tackles plus two big sacks.

October 11, 2008 Tenney Stadium, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Att: 2,347 POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. (10/11/08) - Quarterback Chris Debowski completed 15 of 28 passes for 321 yards and four touchdowns to lead host Marist College to a 34-7 win over Bryant Saturday evening at Tenney Stadium snapping a three-game losing skid for the Red Foxes. After Bryant's opening drive stalled, Marist (2-5) wasted little time to get off and running as Debowski connected with speedy receiver James LaMacchia for an 80-yard touchdown pass on the Red Foxes' very first play of the game. It would be the first of two deep touchdown passes to LaMacchia who finished with four receptions for 154 yards. Bryant (3-3) moved the ball well in the first half, picking up eight first downs but the Bulldogs were unable to get on the scoreboard as Marist ended Bryant's best scoring chance of the half by intercepting a Jay Graber pass at the goal line. Two Kevin Pauly field goals of 38 and 25 yards rounded out the first half scoring as Marist led 13-0 at the half. The Bulldogs were poised to get on the scoreboard on their first possession to start the second half thanks to the hard running of tailback Lindsey Gamble. The junior energized Bryant's opening drive with several dazzling runs to get the ball inside the Marist 20 yard line, but once again Bryant came up empty as Chris Bird's 25 yard field goal attempt sailed wide. On the ensuing possession, Marist again used another big play to break the game wide open as Debowski hooked up once again with LaMacchia down the right sideline for a 56-yard score to make it 20-0. Debowski would add another 15-yard touchdown pass to R.J. Roe to make it 27-0 before Gamble got Bryant on the board with a 7 yard run up the middle to make it 27-7 with 10:52 left in the game. Gamble finished with 100 yards on 20 carries in the game while Jerell Smith added 94 yard rushing. It was Gambles third 100-yard rushing game of his career. Graber completed 11 of 15 passes for 119 yards. Paul Polomski (Franklin, MA) had eight tackles while Jason Riffe and Don Smith (Attleboro, MA) had seven and six respectively.

October 18, 2008 Bulldog Stadium, Smithfield, R.I. Att: 5,630 Jerell Smith (Brooklyn, NY) rushed for 104 yards on 16 carries while Anthony DiNaso (Staten Island, NY) caught a pair of touchdown passes to lead Bryant University to a 20-7 win over visiting Robert Morris University before a standing-room only crowd of 5,630 at Bulldog Stadium Saturday afternoon .SMITHFIELD, R.I. ( Scored on its first possession of the game and let the defense handle the rest as Bryant held the Colonials to minus-20 yards rushing on the ground and sacked quarterback Erik Cwalinski eight times, tying a school record. Bryant (4-3) used a good balance attack in starting quickly as the Bulldogs opened with a 66-yard drive on its first possession to take a quick 7-0 lead. Lindsey Gamble (Roxbury, MA) helped keep the drive moving with a nice 19-yard pickup to move the ball down inside the Colonial 20 yard line. Three players later, quarterback Jay Graber hit DiNaso for the first of his two touchdowns on the day as the senior quarterback connected with the sophomore receiver across the middle for with a third-down pass across the middle for a 13-yard touchdown with 12:16 left in the first quarter. It would be the only scoring of the first half, but the Bulldogs would take advantage of a crucial turnover by Robert Morris, the first of only two in the game. After forcing the Bulldogs to punt on their first possession, Robert Morris (2-5) took over with good field position near midfield. But on the ensuing possession, RMU running back Myles Russ fumbled the hand-off and Don Smith (Attleboro, MA) was there to recover. Bryant would take full advantage of the momentum swing as Smith found a seam in the defensive line on the very next play and raced down the right sideline for a 37-yard touchdown to make it 14-0.

Graber and DiNaso would hook up again in the fourth, this time on a 19-yard pass play in the corner of the end zone to make it 20-0. Cwalinski would help RMU avoid the shutout as the senior scored from 11 yards out to round out the scoring on the day. DiNaso finished with three catches for 54 yards while teammate Ross Giffune (Foxboro, MA) also had three receptions for 58 yards. Russ, who came into the game averaging 145 yards rushing per game, was held to just 37 on the day. Cwalinski completed 11 of 25 passes for 161 yards for Robert Morris.

GAME 8 BRYANT 7 MASSACHUSETTS 42

October 25, 2008 Warren McGuirk Stadium, Amherst, MA Att: 12,521 AMHERST, MASS (10/25/08) - UMass quarterback Liam Coen completed 11 of 18 passes for 389 yards and five touchdowns to lead the No. 17 Minutemen to a 42-7 win over visiting Bryant University Saturday afternoon. UMass (5-3), looking to bounce back strong from last week's loss to Richmond, did just that Saturday as the Minutemen scored on their first three possessions before the Bulldogs finally got on the board mid-way through the first quarter. Trailing 21-0, the Bulldogs (4-4) put together a solid scoring drive despite the loss of starting quarterback Jay Graber (Clarksburg, NJ). Graber, who left with 4:50 left in the opening quarter with an injury and did not return, was replaced by backup Kurt Spear (Greene, NY). The junior, seeing action for the first time this season, stepped right in and guided the Bulldogs down field with a solid scoring drive. Spear completed 3 of 4 passes including a 16-yarder to Mike Canfora for 16 yards on his first pass attempt. A 15-yard pass to Ross Giffune (Foxboro, MA) moved the ball down to the UMass 22 yard line. Behind steady blocking by the offensive line up front, junior tailback Lindsey Gamble (Roxbury, MA) moved the ball down to 6 and one play later found a seam into the end zone to make it 21-7 just before the end of the opening quarter. The 16-play drive covered 6 minutes, 41 seconds - the longest scoring drive of the season for the Bulldogs. UMass would answer as Tony Nelson scored from 3 yards out and Jeremy Horne was on the receiving end of a 21-yard pass from Coen to make it 35-7 at the half and the hosts cruised from there. Horne finished with 182 yards and three touchdowns while Korrey Davis rushed for 54 yards on 12 carries. UMass finished the day with 593 yards of total offense including 448 yards through the air. Bryant had 217 yards of offense in the game. Spear finished the day completing 7 of 17 passes for 70 yards

with Giffune hauling in three catches for 27 yards. Mike Canfora had two catches for 25 yards. Jerell Smith (Brooklyn, NY) rushed for 56 of Bryant's 126 yards on the ground while Gamble finished with 52 yards on 17 carries. Sophomore Addison Lynch (Braintree, MA) recorded a career-best 12 tackles to lead Bryant defensively. Junior linebacker Paul Polomski (Franklin, MA) added 10 tackles as the Bulldog defense recovered three UMass fumbles, all in the second half.

GAME 9 BRYANT 24 DUQUESNE 10

November 1, 2008 Bulldog Stadium, Smithfield, R.I. Att: 2,104 SMITHFIELD, R.I. (11/1/08) - Bryant University running back Jerell Smith rushed for 129 yards on 14 carries while the defense used two fourth quarter interceptions to put the game away as the host Bulldogs pulled away for a 24-10 win over Duquesne here Saturday afternoon. Duquesne quarterback Connor Dixon engineered a solid 10-play scoring drive to open the game as the Dukes jumped out in front first. A Dixon 20-yard pass to Brian Layhue on the Dukes' second-play moved the ball to midfield. Dixon would later hook up with running back Cleo Williams for an 11-yard pass play to move the ball down to the Bryant 25 yard line. With the ball on the Bryant 7 yard line, the Bulldog defense would hold Duquesne to a 24 yard field goal from Mark Troyan. Bryant's (5-4) offense would finally get on the board just before halftime. After a 21 yard punt by Duquesne's Josh Brisk gave the Bull-

2009 Bulldog Football

dogs good field position at the Duquesne 44 yard line, quarterback Jay Graber (Clarksburg, NJ) hit Ross Giffune (Foxboro, MA) for a 20-yard gain down to the Duquesne 15-yard line. Two plays later, Mike Canfora (Verona, NJ) took a lateral from Graber and rumbled into the end zone for a 15-yard score. The extra point attempt was wide and the Bulldogs took a 6-3 lead into the locker room at the half. Duquesne (2-6) regained the lead once again late in the third as Dixon connected with Alex Roberson for a 54-yard touchdown pass to make it 10-9. But in the fourth, Lindsey Gamble put the Bulldogs back in front for good, scoring on a 29-yard run down the middle to make it 15-10. On their next possession, the Dukes moved the ball down to the Bryant 40, but junior defensive end Don Smith (Attleboro, MA) blitzed Dixon forcing the sophomore to throw an ill-advised pass that was picked off by linebacker Paul Polomski (Franklin, MA). The Bulldogs came into the game tied for first nationally with a 25 turnovers gained this season. The Duquesne miscue led to a Brian Donnelly (East Dennis, MA) 25-yard field goal to give Bryant an 18-10 lead with just over five minutes left. Needing to go the length of the field to score and possibly force overtime, Duquesne would never get the opportunity as Bryant linebacker Cheyenne Ray (Bellport, NY) picked off Dixon's very first pass attempt at the 29 yard line and returned it the distance for the touchdown, sealing the victory for the Bulldogs. Bryant finished with 445 yards of total offense in the game. The Bulldogs were 7 for 15 on third-down conversions. Gamble finished with 94 yards rushing while Graber completed 18 of 26 passes for 213 yards. Williams finished with 76 yards rushing for Duquesne while Dixon was 16 for 28 passing for 193 yards.

GAME 10 BRYANT 23 IONA 7

November 15, 2008 Mazzella Field,New Rochelle, NY. Att: 483 NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (11/15/08) - Lindsey Gamble (Roxbury, MA) rushed for a season-high 163 yards on 15 carries to lead the Bryant University football team to a 23-7 win over Iona College Saturday at a wet and rainy Mazzella Field. The win clinches a winning record for the Bulldogs in their first season of Division I football as Bryant will take a 6-4 record into next Saturday's season finale at Saint Francis (PA). Coming off a bye week, the Bulldogs were slow out of the gate and Iona (3-8) took advantage, scoring the only points of the first half late in the first quarter. Gael freshman quarterback Warren Smith engineered an 11-play drive ending with a 33-yard touchdown pass to the speedy Tim Mastrino for a 7-0 lead. Held scoreless for only the second time this season, Bryant managed just 55 yards rushing in the first half against an Iona defense that came into the game allowing 300 yards rushing. But it was a different story in the second half as quarterback Jay Graber (Clarksburg, NJ) led Bryant on a 10-play scoring drive to open the third quarter. The senior connected with senior tight end Jarrett Solimando (Demarest, NJ) on an 18-yard pass play down to the one yard line. One play later, junior tailback Jerrell Smith (Brooklyn, NY) dove into the end-zone to finally put Bryant on the scoreboard. Iona would maintain the lead however, as the point after attempt was wide, keeping Gaels in front 7-6. But the scoring drive was just what the team needed. Chris Bird's (Monument Beach, MA) 30-yard field goal atoned for the missed extra point try and the Bulldogs had their first lead of the game, 9-7 with 4:24 left in the third. Still within striking distance, the Gaels continued to move the ball well led by the arm of Warren Smith and the play of Mastrino. But the key play of the game came early in the fourth with the Gaels driving deep into Bryant territory. With the ball on the Bryant 25, and Iona facing a fourth-and-three, Attleboro's Don Smith pressured Warren Smith to scramble out of the pocket and throw an incomplete pass with Andre Whyte (Bennington, Vt.) covering. Taking over on downs, Gamble broke through the line on Bryant's very first play from scrimmage and raced 75 yards for a touchdown to make it 16-7. With the momentum clearly back in Bryant's favor, Jerrell Smith would later add a 50-yard touchdown run of his own and the Bulldogs never looked back. With his 163 yards on the day, Gamble moved into fourth all-time in school history with 1,704 rushing yards. Jerrell Smith, who surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for the season on Bryant's first play of game, finished with 105 yards on the ground, moving him into third-place alltime in school history with 1,723 yards. Anthony DiNaso (Staten Island, NY) had four catches for 64 yards while Bryce Martins (Uncasville, CT) led the defense with 11 tackles. Patrick Gauthier (Woonsocket, RI) and Smith each had seven. Iona's quarterback Smith completed 31 of 53 passes for 272 yards. Mastrino finished an amazing day for the Gaels, catching a school record 18 passes for 167 yards.

LORETTO, Pa. (11/22/08) - It may have been the longest road trip in the history Bryant football program, but it will certainly be memorable as Jerell Smith rushed for 150 and quarterback Jay Graber threw three touchdown passes as the Bulldogs rolled to a 23-0 win over Saint Francis (PA) on a snowy afternoon at DeGol Field. The win concludes Bryant's first Division I season with a 7-4 record. The Bulldogs out-gained the Red Flash 382 to 58 in total yards as Graber completed 14 of 19 passes for 160 yards on the day. Ross Giffune hauled in four catches for 59 yards and it was his first touchdown reception of the season that got the Bulldogs on the board first. Bryant put together a nice looking drive right away on its first possession. Hard running from Lindsey Gamble helped move the ball down to the Red Flash eight yard line, setting up an 8-yard, Graber to Giffune touchdown pass in the back of the end zone to make it 7-0. Two fumbles halted a pair of other Bryant drives in the second quarter but the Bulldogs were able add on a 32-yard field goal by Chris Bird just before the end of the half to take a 10-0 lead into the locker room at the break. The field goal was the 15th in the career for Bird, tying Pete DiMartino's school record. The Bulldog defense enjoyed an outstanding first half, holding Saint Francis to just 12 yards of offense and only one pass completion. In the second half, the Bulldogs stretched the lead to 17-0 as Graber connected with wide receiver Vinton South for a 33-yard score with 1:19 left in the third. The scoring drive covered 10 plays and took off more than five minutes on the clock. Graber and the Bulldogs would put the game away midway through the fourth as the senior signal caller threw his third touchdown pass of the game, this time to Tyler DiGiovanni. The point after was wide but the point didn't matter as the Bulldogs managed to end the season with a win for the first time since the 2000 season and just the second time in the 10-year history of the program.
