Athletic Training and Conditioning The Sports Medicine program at Centenary College provides students with an opportunity to participate in intercollegiate athletics in the safest and healthiest way possible. A well-rounded program for student-athletes directed toward the prevention, evaluation, management and rehabilitation of athletic injuries is enhanced by team physician Dr. Mike Kelly and orthopedic surgeons Dr. Louis Rizio and Dr. Robert A Defalco. The athletic training staff includes Head Athletic Trainer Dana Baffuto, Associate Athletic Trainer Kevin Davies and Assistant Athletic Trainer Eddie Giroux. The fitness center, located in the John M. Reeves Student Recreation Center, gives Centenary students and student-athletes a safe workout environment where they can improve their agility, speed, flexibility, strength and conditioning. Using the fitness center gives each athlete a chance to improve their overall fitness, therefore making them more competitive in their sport of choice. In 2006, the fitness center was expanded to include a separate cardio room as well as the weight machine and free weight areas. The renovation also brought in brand new state-of-the-art strength and fitness equipment that should fill all our student-athlete’s seasonal fitness needs.

Several Cyclones earned post season accolades in 2011, including Brittany Overland who was named the CSAC Player of the year to go with her First Team All-Conference placement. Along with Overland on the All-CSAC First Team were Tatiana Kingston and Kristyn Lehmann. Earning Second Team All-CSAC honors were Caitlin Veverka and Sara Smith. Alyssa Hackelberg received All-Conference Honorable Mention and Arille Hamilton was placed on the CSAC All-Sportsmanship Team.
Head coach Kevin Davies opens his 15th season at the helm of Centenary’s women’s soccer program in 2013. Under his guidance, the team has become a force in the Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) and the region. Davies has guided the Cyclones to a 54-35-11 over the past five seasons while posting a 37-12-4 conference record in that time. During this time Centenary has made five CSAC Tournament appearances, including a CSAC Championship in 2010. 2012 was a season highlighted by the Centenary defense. The Cyclones recorded six shutouts while yielding one or fewer goals ten times as Coach Davies’ team finished 7-9-2 overall and 6-4-2 in CSAC play. Sophomore Laura Potter led the Cyclones with 15 goals and 31 points, while senior Tatiana Kingston once again controlled the field for Centenary from her midfield post. Kingston finished the year with five goals and seven assists to help the Cyclones reach the CSAC Tournament. The 2012 season saw the Cyclones score 16 goals in a two game stretch as Centenary posted 9-0 and 7-0 wins over CSAC opponents Cedar Crest and Baptist Bible respectively. While the Cyclones season ended in a 2-0 loss at Neumann University in the CSAC Tournament first round, nine members Coach Davies’ squad earned postseason honors. Potter and Kingston were named to the All-CSAC First Team at forward and midfield respectively, while Nikki Crowley made the first team as a defender. Freshmen Kristen Brown and Zanetta Cheng were named All-CSAC Honorable Mention on defense, while Kelley Carvalho and Sara Smith were named Honorable Mention as midfielders. Rounding out the Honorable Mention honorees are Becky Camp and Samantha Sysak as forwards. In 2011, the Centenary women found themselves in a familiar situation - the CSAC Tournament semifinals in a penalty kick shootout after regulation and two overtime periods could not provide a winner. The Cyclones fell this time to Neumann, yet the season was filled with accomplishments. Centenary posted a record of 11-5-3, 9-22 in CSAC play and advanced once again to the CSAC Tournament. The third seeded Cyclones defeated Baptist Bible College 6-0 in the first round game to advance to the semifinals vs. Neumann. Along the way, Coach Davies’ team ran off an eight game unbeaten streak (Sept. 21-Oct. 15) which included a five game shutout streak.
The Cyclones’ 2010 campaign began with Davies winning his 100th career game as head coach of Centenary, thanks to a 9-0 defeat of Old Westbury. After a loss to Cabrini that left the team 6-7, CC closed the regular season on a six-game winning streak, including a 1-0 doubleovertime win over Montclair State, the program’s first-ever victory against the Red Hawks. Centenary tied the program-record in conference victories, going 8-2 to earn the third-seed in the CSAC. After defeating Neumann in doubleOT, 2-1, CC tied second-seeded Marywood 2-2 and advanced to the championship game thanks to a 7-6 advantage in penalty kicks. The Lady Cyclones became the first Centenary program to host a conference championship, where it took on fifth-seed Immaculata. After tying the Mighty Macs 1-1, CC earned the CSAC Championship and its first-ever NCAA Tournament berth with a 4-3 edge in penalty kicks. In the NCAA Tournament, CC battled No. 16 Dickinson to a 1-1 tie and again went to penalty kicks, where this time the Cyclones fell, 4-2, ending their season. Jazmine Farrell received First Team All-CSAC and Second Team NSCAA Mid-Atlantic All-Regional and five other Cyclones earned AllConference awards, including Tatiana Kingston, who took home Second Team honors after setting a program record with 14 assists. After winning nine games in 2008, the Lady Cyclones improved to 14 wins in 2009, with five losses and one tie. The team matched their 2008 Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) mark of 7-2-1 to place third in the conference. Centenary advanced to the semifinals where it fell at Cabrini. Because of their successful regular season, the Lady Cyclones earned a berth to the ECAC South Tournament as the sixth-seed, falling at third-seeded Swarthmore, 3-0. Davies coached nine student-athletes to CSAC postseason awards, including First Team honors for juniors Kelley Michanczyk, Bianca Santulli and Farrell. In 2008, Centenary finished 9-9-2, including a 7-2-1 conference mark. The Lady Cyclones defeated Immaculata 1-0 in the opening round of the CSAC Tournament, before falling to Gwynedd-Mercy, 1-0, in the semifinals. Five student-athletes received All-Conference honors, and Santulli was named to the NSCAA/adidas Third Team All-Mid-Atlantic-Region.
Davies guided Centenary to a 14-6-2 mark in 2007, including an 8-1-1 record in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC). The Lady Cyclones earned a berth into the conference tournament, reaching the championship game before falling to Eastern, 1-0. Davies’ squad then was chosen as the second seed in the ECAC Metro Region Tournament. Centenary shut out the College of Staten Island (5-0) and Rutgers-Camden (2-0) to reach the championship game, where it fell to Stevens, 5-1. Six student-athletes were named to the PAC All-Conference teams, including First Team honors for Tanya DiDonna, who also earned NSCAA All-Mid Atlantic Region Third Team honors and was selected as Centenary College’s Woman of the Year by the New Jersey Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. Over his 14 seasons at Centenary (1999-present), Davies has amassed a career record of 130-114-17. In four seasons in the CSAC, his team has a mark of 37-12-5. The Cyclones have made nine postseason appearances during his time with the program. Since coming to Centenary, he has taken the women’s soccer program to the next level, continually filling the schedule with high quality opponents. The Cyclones have developed an exciting style of soccer, one that makes it enjoyable for fans to watch and very competitive for team members to play.

The Cyclones were chosen to finish six in the Colonial States Athletic Conference preseason poll, but were just five points behind thirdplace Rosemont in the tightly-packed top portion of the league. Centenary boasts a veteran roster as 15 of the 18 student-athletes have experience competing at the collegiate level and in the CSAC Championship Tournament. 15th-year Head Coach Kevin Davies has led the team to the league tournament each year since joining the CSAC in 2007 and guided the team to a conference crown in 2010. A pair of First-Team All-CSAC standouts return as leading scorer Laura Potter (Gilboa, N.Y./GilboaConesville) and shutdown defender Nikki Crowley (Flanders, N.J./Mount Olive) enter their junior seasons. Potter finished second in the league and 59th in all of NCAA Division III with 15 goals last fall and has totaled 45 points during her first two years on campus. Crowley, who has started 33-of-35 matches during her career, leads a veteran core of defenders that features three additional returners. Senior Kristen Brown (Oak Ridge, N.J./Jefferson) played in all 18 games, while junior Allie Molinaro (Scotch Farms, N.J./ Scotch Farms-Plainsfield) and Zanetta Cheng (Randolph, N.J./Randolph) will provide additional depth to the backfield.

Junior forward Samantha Sysak (Bayonne, N.J./Holy Family Academy) ranked second on the team with seven goals, while classmate Becky Camp (Bedford, N.J./Middletown North) tallied 13 total points. Seniors Kelley Jane Carvalho (Roselle, N.J./Roselle Catholic) and Amira Guerrero (Fort Lee, N.J./Fort Lee) and sophomore Lorraine Dedrick (Trumbull, Conn./Trumbull) will all be expected to add to the offense from the midfield position.

2010 Championship Team
The 2010 women’s soccer team brought Centenary College a year of firsts as they set the
best season in the program’s history with a 14-6-3 record, brought Head Coach Kevin Davies his 100th career win, took home the 2010 Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) Championship title, and made their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Despite entering the CSAC Tournament with a six game winning streak, the tournament would be no easy task for the Cyclones. The 2010 squad would face six seeded Neumann University in the first round of the tournament where they would compete in a double overtime thriller before Caitlin Veverka sent home the game winner to send the Cyclones to the final four. The semi-finals for the Cyclones proved to be yet another challenge for Centenary as took to the road to take on second seeded Marywood University. Once again, the Cyclones found themselves in a familiar position as they competed in double overtime with the pacers. This time however, the Cyclones could not end it in timed play, forcing a penalty kick decision. After a back-and-forth of successful penalty kicks, Cyclones goalie stopped the Pacers third-round sudden death attempt to allow Jen Dexter to send the ball to the back of the net and give the Cyclones the opportunity to host the 2010 Championship Game against Immaculata University. As the higher seed, the Cyclones were selected as the host team for the Championship, another program-first, and would host would could arguably be called one of the most thrilling CSAC Championships to date. The Cyclones and the Mighty Macs would remained tied 1-1 after yet another Centenary double-overtime, sending the game to a championship deciding round of penalty kicks. Through the first four rounds of penalty kicks, each team landed three successful kicks to send it into a sudden-death final round. With the Cyclones set to start the fifth round, Coach Davies turned to junior Courtney Flanagan who blasted the ball towards the goal, deflecting off Immaculata goalie Jessica Gaburo’s hand and into the back of the net.
2010 Championship Team With only one save between Centenary and the 2010 CSAC Championship, the Cyclones posted their top goalie, Ashley Denti between the posts to take on the deciding shot from Immaculata’s Erin Lewis. As the entire crowd held their breath, Lewis would rip a shot towards the Cyclone goal but Denti came up huge for Centenary, stopping the ball and leading the Cyclones to their first ever CSAC Championship. As the 2010 CSAC Champions, the Cyclones earned themselves an automatic bid into the 2010 NCAA Tournament as they were slated to take on No. 16 Dickenson in the first round. Once again, the Cyclones had to make things interesting as they remained tied 1-1 with the Red Devils to force their fourth consecutive double-overtime and eventually their third consecutive penalty kick shootout. Unfortunately this time would mark the end of the incredible run for the Cyclones as they were outscored 4-2 in the shootout by the Red Devils. The 2010 season would be one that would be remembered by all for the Cyclones, especially Head Coach Kevin Davies who had this to say after the CSAC Championship Game: “This has been a long time coming, 12 years. These ladies played hard today and I love them to bits. This season has been a long road, but we’ve played very well recently. Anything we do moving forward is just icing on the cake.”
Costa Rica Trip Just prior to the preseason of 2010, the Centenary College women’s soccer team took to the south as they traveled to Costa Rica to take on some of the most fierce competition the country had to offer. For over a week, the Cyclones would spend their time practicing, competing, and taking in the cultural differences the Costa Rican soccer world had to show them. The Cyclones would open their trip with what could be considered one of the most difficult teams they have ever competed against, taking on the Costa Rican National Championship Team. Unfortunately the Cyclones could not hold on against the national champions, falling 5-1 in a hard fought game. “We played a very good team and got beat, but it was a good test for us,” said head coach Kevin Davies. “Especially considering that this group has only been together for one day.” Game two for the Cyclones would be yet another high quality Costa Rican team, but the Cyclones came together and brought home a 3-3 tie. Aside from the two games, the girls also took to the community as they helped out at a Costa Rican orphanage throughout their trip. The Cyclones got to experience everything from visits to the rainforest, Arenal Volcano, and Hot Springs to a white water rafting trip along the way, better bringing their team together and enhancing their cultural knowledge. The trip clearly helped the 2010 squad as they came together later that season for their first ever CSAC Championship, the program’s best record, and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.
Centenary College Turf Fund “It is time to take Cyclone Athletics to the next level.” That was the message of WPLJ broadcaster Joe Nolan at the official launch of The Athletic Turf Field Project on January 29, 2011. Through The Cyclone Athletic Fund, Centenary plans to construct a new artificial turf field that will serve the Men’s and Women’s Soccer and Lacrosse teams as well as Baseball. The new field, which can even be used in inclement weather, will help propel the teams to greater levels of competition and national recognition.
