Men’s Basketball Program Overview and Highlights
The City College of New York men's basketball team is looking to take a major step forward in the 2014‐2015 season in Head Coach Tom Green's fourth year at the helm of the program. The Beavers (7‐19 last season, 3‐13 in the CUNYAC) experienced great turnover last season, but will look to key returners to provide leadership this year. Senior forward Anthony Lewis, with a career average of 17.9 points per game, will start the season at power forward. Lewis, last season's leading scorer and rebounder, needs just 372 points to reach 1000 for his career. Sophomore Khalil Hamer had a brilliant rookie season last year, averaging 10.8 points and 5.6 rebounds in just 14 games.
Head Men’s Basketball Coach: Tom Green
Contact Coach Green:
Green’s resume includes a long list of accomplishments, primarily from his time as the head coach at Farleigh Dickinson University. There, he served as the head coach for 26 years, and became the winningest coach in the conference and institution’s history. He produced seven 20‐ win seasons at FDU and took his team to four NCAA Division I National Tournaments.

Women’s Basketball Program Overview and Highlights The City College of New York women's basketball team is under new management this year under Head Coach Jamie Angeli, and are ready to make a move this season. The Beavers (10‐16 overall in 2013‐2014, 5‐11 in the CUNYAC) are looking to break out of the first round of the conference playoffs and compete in the CUNYAC final four. Angeli will have three returners, beginning with junior Bria Fisher. Fisher averaged 12.6 points and 8.7 rebounds per game last year, and is currently 384 points away from reaching the thousand‐point threshold.

Men’s and Women’s Track and Field Program Overview and Highlights
The City College of New York men's and women's indoor track and field teams are poised to have another dominant season this year. The men's team will be led by an All‐Star trio with senior Peter DeHazya, junior Steve Baker and sophomore Jeckesan Mejia. The trio will provide leadership to one of the largest and most talented recruiting classes in the program's history as they look to win a fifth consecutive conference title. The men were voted the preseason choice to win the CUNYAC Championship in a poll by conference choices. "We're honored the conference coaches recognize the strength of the program," said CCNY Head Coach Hugh Reid. "We look forward to raising the profile of the CUNYAC on the national level, and hope our continued success will draw even more exceptional scholar athletes." CUNYAC coaches vote on the preseason award, which CCNY won with 16 points. The CCNY women were picked to finish second in the voting, missing the top spot by one point to Hunter College. The Beavers are in the hunt to claim their sixth women's championship and their first since the 2012‐2013 season. They return several exceptional student‐athletes, most notably sophomore Ashley Beaver, who won two events at championships last year as a freshman. Beaver was voted Women's Preseason Performer of the Year for this season, coming off a year where she set school and freshmen records in the shot put with a distance of 39'0.5" and in the weight throw with a range of 47'5". "I am honored that I would be selected by the coaches for this," said Beaver. "I am glad that all of my effort last year led up to this moment and I am going to make sure that I don't disappoint this year."
