WIDENER PRIDE
COACHING STAFF
Isaac Collins • Head Coach With Widener looking for a renewed sense of enthusiasm and someone to help take the historic program to the next level, Isaac Collins was the perfect choice to lead the squad. Collins fits the bill as someone who has experience on various levels from Division I-AA, Division III and the National Football League. It is that kind of expertise the University was looking for and one in which the team will place its trust in as it looks for another Middle Atlantic Conference title. “We were looking for a head coach whose values align with Widener’s mission and who has the ability to lead our team to success on and off the field. We found both of those qualities in Isaac Collins,” said Widener University President James T. Harris III, a member of the NCAA Executive Committee and chair of the NCAA Division III Council. “We had an impressive group of candidates for the position and we are excited to have a coach with Isaac’s credentials lead the Pride into a new decade on the football field,” Widener University Athletic Director Jack Shafer said. It is a proud tradition which Collins is placed in charge. Widener has won a league-record 17 Middle Atlantic Conference titles, appeared in the NCAA Tournament 12 times and won two national championships.

WIDENER PRIDE
2010 PREVIEW You would be hard pressed to find two tougher campaigns for a program with such a proud tradition as the last two for Widener’s football team. But 2010 begins a new era, one of historical proportion and one that hopefully will send the Pride once again soaring toward the top of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Isaac Collins takes the reigns as the 22nd football coach in school history. Possessing a high desire to win and a strong sense of discipline, Collins will have his work cut out for him but is more than up for the challenge. Arriving after serving the last four years as defensive coordinator at The Citadel, Collins is one of seven minority coaches in Division III. He also is the first African-American coach in the history of Widener football. The defense has been one of the strongest units for the Pride the last few years and this season should be no different. Even with just five starters back, this group has more than what it takes to make some noise. Among the stalwarts in this mix is senior Joe Favinger, who was tabbed first team All-MAC and second team all-region last year. A smart player who also is a fierce competitor, the second team preseason All-American most likely will shift to the outside in the 4-3 scheme. Another factor at linebacker is senior Shane Szumski, who was picked second all-conference last season. Also a three-year starter, Szumski plays with a high desire to win and easily led the squad last year with 75 tackles. Senior Jon Natter started last season at inside linebacker and should get a fair share of playing time this season. Senior Joe Col-
Fred Ferro
2010 FOOTBALL
Joe Favinger leluori as well as juniors Chris Cottrell, Brandon Nye and Robert Watkins also will play a big role this season. Gone from the defensive line is James Woodley, a four-year starter and three-time all-league player at nose guard who will sorely be missed. But this gives others a new opportunity on what should still be a solid line. Senior Josh Fredricks, who made the Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area Team, certainly should move up to a starting role this season. His play last year helped Widener close third in the MAC with 114.8 yards rushing allowed per contest. Juniors Keith Wilson and John Philpott are among others challenging for time. The secondary once again looks strong with the return of seniors Kevin Franklin and Fred Ferro at cornerback. Franklin is a four-year starter whose intelligent and solid play helped him close tied for sixth on the team with 42 tackles. Ferro also provides the team strong play that led him to 14 tackles. The Pride will have to replace both of their safeties, but the team is not worried about this. Junior Gary Fish served as the backup last season at free safety, ending with 21 tackles, and senior Wes O’Kula also looks for more time. The offense had its share of hard knocks toward the end of last year, but six starters returning spells a positive outlook with a new plan taking the field. Sophomore quarterback Chris Haupt hopes he can regain his form from the start of last season. Showing tremendous upside when the team won three of its first four games in 2009, Haupt has matured a great deal in the offseason and hopes that translates to the fall.
2010 PREVIEW Senior Adam Smith showed his talent at running back with 542 yards, the most for Widener in three years, and 201 yards rushing at Wilkes. He also was a factor on special teams with 359 kickoff return yards, including 108 at Albright. Senior Michael Penna has been a major factor at tight end the last three years and this season should be no different. A first team all-conference pick in 2008, Penna had 111 receiving yards last season despite missing two games due to injury.
Junior Kevin Huelster is back at punter after finishing third a season ago with 37.4 yards per boot. The schedule is never easy for Widener, including the team’s 129th. The slates features four postseason teams from 2009 with three of them competing in the NCAA Tournament. The journey begins September 4 at Alfred, one of the NCAA Tournament competitors. It continues one week later at home against Thiel in the inaugural “MAC-PAC Football Challenge Series.” After hosting perennial power Ithaca on September 18, Widener will have its first in-season bye week since 1967. MAC play opens October 2 on Homecoming Weekend vs. FDU-Florham. Widener hosts national quarterfinalist Albright on October 23 and visits ECAC Southwest Bowl winner Lebanon Valley the following week. The Pride on November 13 travel to Doylestown to visit Delaware Valley in the 30th Keystone Cup game. The conference champion earns an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament, which begins November 20.

Juniors Justin Horning and Cedrick Clayton are back at wide receiver. Horning made his presence felt with 207 yards receiving at Curry and closed the year at 536 yards on 37 receptions. Clayton also had an impressive campaign, ending with 16 catches for 163 yards. Senior Rick Ritter also hopes for more playing time after closing with 23 catches for 409 yards, including 81 yards against Delaware Valley. The offensive line took a major hit with four of its five starters receiving their degrees. Senior Harry Rannels is left to shoulder the load at right tackle, looking to once again help an offense which scored at least 22 points five times last year. Others searching for time among the big uglies are senior AJ Winter, junior Ryan Eckenrode and sophomore Gerry Pacitti. Widener’s special teams receives a boost with two key returnees. Junior Matt Breslin was among the elite kickers. He ended tied for third in the MAC with five field goals, fourth with a .920 extrapoint percentage (23-for-25) and fifth with 23 extra points.

Justin Horning caught a four-yard touchdown pass from Chris Haupt with 1:41 remaining and the defense made a dramatic stop on the last play for a season-opening victory at Curry. Haupt on the last drive threw a pass that was deflected at the line to Horning, who caught it and raced 46 yards down the right sideline to the two. Three plays later, Horning hauled in the go-ahead score on a fade route in the left corner before the Pride missed on the two-point conversion. The Colonels had one final chance and kept the game alive on fourth down and six at the nine as Zach Cavanaugh threw a seven-yard pass to Jeff Hibbard, who was forced out of bounds by junior Kevin Franklin at the two. Curry continued to keep the ball on the ground and took it to the one with six seconds left. Curry went to its clutch back in Joe Freeman, but he was stuffed up the middle by the entire defensive line led by senior James Woodley as time expired to snap the home team’s 34-game winning streak at Katz Field. Horning had a monster game, hauling in 10 passes for 207 yards. He is the first Widener receiver to notch at least 200 receiving yards since Michael Coleman had 238 against Juniata on November 3, 2001. Haupt played great in his first start, completing 22-of-46 passes for 315 yards and the winning score. It is the 35th time in school history the squad had someone throw for at least 300 yards. Junior Shane Szumski had an outstanding contest for the Pride with 10 tackles, including two for a loss. Widener could not have picked a better way to start its season, seeing Adam Smith return the opening kickoff 50 yards to the Curry 37 yard line. Three plays later, Haupt snuck it in from one yard and a 7-0 lead just 74 seconds into the season.

Adam Smith had a very impressive game off the bench for Widener, ending with 11 carries for 56 yards. That included touchdown runs of one and 21 yards. Chris Haupt completed 13-of-27 passes for 165 yards and Rick Ritter posted four catches for 68 yards. Widener closed with 154 yards rushing and 319 yards of total offense. Joe Favinger had nine tackles for the Pride. But Ithaca quarterback Brian Grastorf could not be stopped, completing 26-of-37 passes for 268 yards and four touchdowns. Dan Higgins had seven catches for 74 yards and two scores with Thomas Bergerstock adding 18 carries for 63 yards. The Bombers had 349 yards of total offense and converted 11-of-18 thirddown opportunities. Ithaca took the opening kickoff and marched 70 yards for a 7-0 lead. Grastorf capped it with 9:49 left in the first quarter on a 10-yard pass to Higgins. The Bombers on their next drive took advantage of a short field, needing to go just 19 yards before Andrew Rogowski booted a 39-yard field goal. That gave the home team a 10-0 lead with 6:43 remaining in the first. The Pride got the game’s first break as Shane Szumski intercepted a deflected pass, taking it to the Bombers 40 yard line. That’s when Smith took over, rushing for 29 yards during the scoring drive that included a 19-yard burst to the 21 yard line. Smith capped it a one-yard dive with 1:40 to play in the quarter for a 10-7 contest. The score did not bother Ithaca, which on its next drive got a three-yard touchdown run from Bergerstock for a 17-7 lead. The tally with 12:36 left ended an eight-play, 55-yard drive. But Widener once again answered the bell, getting a 17-play drive that went 88 yards to close to 17-10 with 2:40 left in the half. Matt Breslin did the honors, booting a 22-yard field goal. The Bombers went into the locker room with a 20-10 lead as Rogowski kicked a 42-yard field goal on the final play of the half. Grastorf threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Matt Hannon midway through the third quarter and added a seven-yard scoring pass to Dan Ruffrage early in the fourth for a 34-10 cushion. Higgins had an eight-yard touchdown reception with 12:31 to play. Smith’s 21-yard touchdown run with 3:10 left ended the scoring.

Widener used four long scoring drives that included a highly effective running game in notching a triumph over Frostburg State. The first scoring drive went 75 yards in seven plays, capped when Chris Haupt threw an eight-yard touchdown pass to Dom DePasquale. Haupt set up the score with a 39-yard run to the Bobcats 12 yard line. Widener late in the first half chewed five minutes off the clock, going 80 yards on 11 plays for a 14-0 lead. Adam Smith had 18 of those yards, including a four-yard touchdown run with 1:08 left. Frostburg State got some momentum back with a 50-yard pass from Josh Volpe to Makiha Cooper. Zachary Beukers ended the march with an 18-yard field goal on the final play of the half for a 14-3 margin. The Pride had little to fear, opening the bag of tricks to close an 85-yard drive that began the second half. Wide receiver Marc Bandola took an end around and lofted an 11-yard touchdown pass to Tim Shaub for a 21-3 contest with 8:35 to play in the third quarter. Widener’s next drive amassed 75 yards for a 28-3 lead with 2:36 to go in the quarter. Ian Decker, who had three rushing touchdowns against the Bobcats last season, ran it up the middle eight yards for the score. Smith’s second touchdown of the day, a two-yard burst, with 10:38 left made it 35-3 Widener and ended a mere 63-yard drive. Matt Breslin kicked all five extra points for the Pride. Frostburg State got a 15-yard touchdown pass from Volpe to Cooper with 7:41 remaining and then saw Volpe go one yard on a quarterback sneak for the score with 1:49 to play. Haupt continued his hasty maturation, completing 11-of-21 passes for 155 yards to go with his 12 carries for 101 yards. This helped Widener end with 276 yards rushing, 442 yards of total offense and just under 36 minutes in time of possession. The Pride held the ball for 21 1/2 minutes in the second half and outgained the Bobcats 182-13 in the third quarter. Widener’s defense limited Frostburg State to four “three-and-outs” and just 44 yards rushing.

In a reversal from last week’s 35-16 victory over Frostburg State in which long scoring drives were the story, Widener took advantage of short fields in notching its 12th straight victory over FDU and sixth consecutive in Morris County. The first break went Widener’s way with Fred Ferro recovering running back Bayshawn Wells’ fumble at the FDU 34 yard line. On the drive’s seventh play, Ian Decker took a screen pass from Haupt and dove inside the pylon for a 10-yard touchdown. The extra point from Matt Breslin with 8:54 left in the first made it 7-0. Another turnover worked to the Pride’s benefit with Joe Favinger forcing a fumble and Jon Natter recovering at the Devils 23. Haupt punctuated the drive on a one-yard sneak with 10:46 remaining in the first half for a 14-0 contest. Another short Widener march began at the FDU 39 yard line thanks to a poor punt and required only four plays. It ended on a 28-yard scoring pass from Haupt to Cedrick Clayton with 5:33 to play in the half for a 20-0 lead. Widener’s bag of tricks made its way to North Jersey late in the first half. On fourth and short, Favinger took a fake punt and sprinted 25 yards up the middle to the Devils 30 yard line. Justin Horning made the gamble pay off, diving at the goal line for an eight-yard touchdown catch with six seconds left for a 27-0 cushion. Haupt in the opening half completed 14-of-19 passes for 124 yards and three touchdowns. Clayton paced the receivers with four catches for 53 yards. The defense more than did its job against the number one rated offense and passing offense in the MAC entering the contest. FDU was limited to a mere 81 yards rushing on 26 carries and was just 5-of-14 on third-down conversions. Haupt completed 18-of-32 passes for 196 yards. Clayton and Horning each notched five receptions and Favinger had seven tackles, including three for a loss.

Widener squandered a 14-point, second-quarter lead and was done in by a second-half offensive machine in a loss to King’s. Down 21-7 late in the first half, King’s outscored Widener 28-3 the rest of the way for its first victory in nine all-time meetings in Chester. It was just the Monarchs’ third win in the 17-game series. The Monarchs began their comeback with a four-play, 80-yard drive. It was capped when Corey Lavin hit Mike Verbitski on a 13-yard touchdown pass with 1:23 left in the first half for a 21-14 contest. King’s first drive in the third quarter also went 80 yards, resulting in a 21-21 tie. Lavin ended it on an eight yard scoring pass to Justin Dalton with 4:26 remaining. Lavin and Verbitski hooked up for a second score, this time on a 20-yard pass only 33 seconds into the fourth quarter and a 28-21 King’s lead. Matt Breslin kicked a 20-yard field goal as Widener closed to 28-24 with 6:51 to play. But King’s stretched the margin to 35-24 with 2:50 left as Claude O’Connor scored on a one-yard run. The Pride went three-and-out on its next possession and the Monarchs ran out the clock to snap a three-game losing streak. Chris Haupt threw for 255 yards and Brian Pastor had 12 tackles, including 10 solos, for the Pride.

The Warriors scored touchdowns on three of their first four drives. The opener was on the game’s first march, culminated when Josh Kleinfelter ran to the right for a 20-yard touchdown scamper for a 7-0 lead. Lycoming got two fortuitous bounces as a twice deflected pass from Colin Dwyer fell into the hands of Adam Paulhamaus, who took it to the end zone for a 67-yard score. That made it 14-0 with 9:53 left in the first quarter. Paulhamaus on the third score was the intended receiver and made good with a 21-yard touchdown catch from Dwyer for a 21-0 game with 34 seconds remaining in the first. It capped a period in which the Warriors owned a 231-23 edge in total offense that included 198 passing yards. Widener got back into the game with 9:56 to play in the half. Chris Haupt lofted a 12-yard pass that Justin Horning hauled in for a 21-7 margin. Matt Breslin booted a 34-yard field goal as time expired for a 21-10 contest at halftime. More momentum went the Pride’s way in the third quarter, starting with Brian Pastor returning an interception 31 yards to his team’s 40 yard line. Five plays later, Haupt found Horning on a oneyard scoring pass. Widener’s attempt for two with 6:38 left in the third quarter failed for a 21-16 game. Lycoming began to ice the game when Joe Thompson intercepted Haupt at the Widener 22 yard line just 94 seconds into the fourth quarter. On the drive’s sixth play, Dwyer hit Josh Dixon on a five-yard scoring pass with 10:21 left for the final margin. Haupt completed 14-of-35 passes for 185 yards and two scores. Joe Favinger notched eight tackles and Kevin Franklin also had an interception for the Pride, who forced three turnovers.

A: Romig 7-97; Holmes 5-64; Wallace 3-26; Drumgo 2-10; Castano 1-20. Widener let early momentum slip away and was dealt a loss at No. 24 Albright in a rainstorm. Widener got an unusual break to open the game. Matt Breslin launched the kickoff, which was mishandled out of bounds by Albright. On the first play, running back Josan Holmes was tackled in the end zone by Joe Favinger and Joe Colleluori for a safety and a 2-0 lead. The next break benefited the home team as Brett Gaul blocked a punt from Kevin Huelster, which was recovered at the Widener 37 yard line. Holmes ran in the drive’s 10th play for a one-yard touchdown and then caught Tanner Kelly’s pass for the two-point conversion with 4:20 left in the first quarter for an 8-2 game. Albright in the first was going into the wind, which affected Kelly’s punt from his end zone. Federico Jellinek took the low liner in Lions territory and sprinted 36 yards for the score. Breslin’s extra point with 47 seconds left gave the Pride a 9-8 lead. The Lions regained the lead at 14-9 with 56 seconds left in the half. Ryan Ott had an interception at the Pride 35 yard line and Kelly seven plays later completed a two-yard touchdown pass to Tyrell Drumgo. Kelly’s pass on the conversion failed. Albright was not bothered by being pinned on its seven yard line late in the third quarter. The 79-yard drive, highlighted by two third-down conversions, ended on John Whelan’s 31-yard field goal with eight seconds left in the quarter for a 17-9 game. Widener’s chances became bleaker when Mark Bergery made a diving interception for Albright at the visitor’s 17 yard line. Kelly ended the drive with 11:33 remaining on a one-yard touchdown run for a 24-9 contest. The Lions made it 31-9 with 52 seconds left as Josh Hare ran an interception back 55 yards for a touchdown. The Pride got that score back when Chris Haupt fired an 11-yard touchdown pass to Justin Horning with one second remaining. Michael Penna hauled in the two-point conversion for the final. The Pride’s defense gave a solid effort as Jon Natter made 12 tackles with nine solos and Favinger had 11 with 10 solos and a sack. James Woodley had seven tackles to go with two of Widener’s five sacks. Widener limited Albright to just 76 yards rushing on 43 carries.

Widener ran into a very tough offense in Lebanon Valley and was handed a home loss. On the Pride’s first drive, the Dutchmen forced a three-and-out and created the game’s first break. Matt Lillis began his monster day by blocking a punt at the Widener 22 yard line. Six plays later, Charlie Parker ended the drive with a two-yard touchdown run with 9:20 left in the first quarter. The extra point from Brittany Ryan made it 7-0. Lillis, who intercepted quarterback Chris Haupt at the goal line in the first quarter, continued his show in the second. He stepped in front of another pass and ran 48 yards for a touchdown with 10:23 remaining in the half for a 14-0 game. The margin grew to 17-0 with 4:22 to play in the half when Ryan capped an 8 1/2 minute drive with a 21-yard field goal. Lillis’ second blocked punt at the Pride 25 set up the final score midway through the third quarter. Parker took a handoff and went seven yards to the right for a touchdown. The loss overshadowed a career day for James Woodley. Creating double teams on almost every play this season, the four-year starter and two-time first team All-MAC player had 19 tackles, 14 solo tackles, 1.5 sacks and five tackles for a loss. The 19 tackles are tied for the third most in school history. Tom Eisenhower had the same number on November 14, 1998 against Susquehanna and Bill Collins accomplished this in 1997 against King’s. The Widener record of 21 was accomplished by Clarence Giles in 1996 against King’s. Jon Natter had 10 tackles for Widener and Shane Szumski amassed nine.

Adam Smith rushed for a career best 201 yards on 33 carries and the defense again played solidly for Widener, which had its late rally fall short at Wilkes. Smith rushed for 117 yards in the second half and became the first Widener player to reach 200 yards since 2006. This helped the Pride notch a 236-62 edge in rushing yards and 310-217 in total offense. Shane Szumski had 10 tackles, three for a loss and two sacks for Widener, which permitted only 61 yards and three first downs after intermission. The game did not start in Widener’s favor as the opening kickoff was fumbled and recovered by Jose Clemente at the Pride 35 yard line. Two plays later, Zach Tivald took the handoff and zigzagged 32 yards for a score just 59 seconds in for a 7-0 Wilkes lead. The Pride’s first offensive possession ended with a blocked punt from Corey Gilroy at the 32 yard line, but Ray Townsend was on the spot. He hustled all the way to the end zone and recovered for a safety, holding the Colonels to just two points for a 9-0 margin with 12 minutes to go in the first. After a Widener muffed punt, Wilkes increased its lead to 15-0 with 10:02 left in the first as Rob Johnson found Gennaro Zangardi on a 28-yard touchdown pass. The Pride’s offense got it in gear midway through the quarter with Jimmy Lahue scoring on a one-yard sneak for a 15-7 game. Smith helped the cause with a 24-yard run on third down to the Colonels 16 yard line. Wilkes added to the lead with 90 seconds remaining in the first as Harry Reese scored on a oneyard dive for a 22-7 margin. Haupt on the next drive led Widener on a seven-play, 50-yard march and it ended on a 10-yard run. The extra point from Matt Breslin with 13:03 left in the second made it 22-14 Wilkes. The Colonels got the momentum back with 5:34 left in the half, getting a 46-yard screen pass from Johnson to Shawn Gregson for a 29-14 contest. Widener’s first drive in the second half belonged to Smith, who had seven carries for 31 yards in the march. The 13-play drive that lasted almost six minutes ended with Breslin’s 21-yard field goal with 7:12 to play in the third quarter for a 29-17 margin. The Pride continued to make it a ball game, closing to 29-24 with 46 seconds left in the third quarter on Haupt’s one-yard sneak. It also ended a third quarter in which the Colonels managed just 12 yards, including minus-3 rushing, and no first downs. Wilkes punted the ball out of bounds at the Widener 46 yard line with 1:13 remaining, giving the visitors one last chance with no time outs. Haupt completed a nine-yard pass on the first play to Justin Horning, but on fourth down threw an interception to Kevin Gerhart with 25 seconds left. Kevin Franklin and Zach Smith each had an interception for the Pride, who held the ball almost 34 1/2 minutes and posted a 21-11 first-down advantage.

An early break was not enough to jumpstart Widener, which suffered a loss to No. 17 Delaware Valley. Things looked real good for Widener on the visitors’ first drive. Delaware Valley had to punt from its own 27, but the snap went over the head of Corey Heard for a safety and a 2-0 margin. This marked the second time in four weeks Widener had a 2-0 lead against a nationally ranked team. The Aggies bounced back on their next drive, going 91 yards in 15 plays that chewed over seven minutes. Matt Cook, who had 41 yards rushing on that drive, ended with a one-yard touchdown run with 4:01 left in the first quarter for a 7-2 lead. Del. Val. increased the margin to 14-2 early in the second quarter as Charles Squitiere intercepted a pass from Jimmy Lahue and scampered 26 yards for the score. But the Pride would not be down for long especially Adam Smith, one week after rushing for 201 yards at Wilkes. On this drive, he had 42 rushing yards that included a three-yard burst with 7:57 left in the first half for a 14-9 game. The Aggies got the ball near the end of the half and scored as Butch Whiteside ran it in from one yard with 18 seconds remaining in the half. Jake Sobchak hit the third of his four extra points for a 21-9 game. Isgro completed a 14-yard pass to Chad Peterman early in the third quarter for a 28-9 Aggie lead. Smith scored on a 10-yard run in the first minute of the fourth quarter for his team-leading seventh touchdown of the year and the final margin. Smith amassed 98 yards on 23 carries for the Pride. Brian Pastor had 13 tackles and Shane Szumski posted 12.

WIDENER PRIDE
MIDDLE ATLANTIC CONFERENCE / 2009 REVIEW The Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Corporation, formerly the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Conference and commonly known as the MAC, originated in 1912 as a loose confederation of colleges. It was unified into an actual all-sports playing conference in 1952 and became the oldest and largest Division III conference holding NCAA membership. In 1999, spurred by changes in the NCAA championship structure, the corporation formed as an umbrella for three conferences: Commonwealth, Freedom, and Middle Atlantic (all 16 institutions). The Commonwealth is made up of Albright, Arcadia, Alvernia, Elizabethtown, Lebanon Valley, Lycoming, Messiah and Widener. The Freedom is comprised of Delaware Valley, DeSales, Eastern, FDU-Florham, King’s, Manhattanville, Misericordia and Wilkes. The earliest records indicate that the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Association was organized December 11, 1912. The first annual meeting was held May 16, 1913, followed by the first annual track meet at Lafayette College the next day. In subsequent years, the association grew and many leagues sprang within it. The Middle Atlantic Collegiate Wrestling Association, formed in March 1925, was the first to name a Middle Atlantic champion. The first basketball conference, formed as three divisions (North, West, South), had winners join an at-large selection for a four-team playoff. The threesection alignment eventually dissolved, but the Southern Division remained intact. Alignments were further altered when the NCAA created Divisions I, II and III. The MAC added women’s athletics in 1978-79. The steady incorporation of senior women’s administrators into the conference hierarchy reached its zenith when Dr. Carol Fritz, associate athletic director at Western Maryland, was elected president in 1986. During the first 76 years, several athletic directors served as conference coordinators on a part-time basis. David B. Eavenson, a MAC legend, served as president, publicity director and executive director from 19721988. Nathan Salant in 1998 became the conference’s first full-time executive director. Major changes were made for the 1993-94 year. Ten schools left to form their own association. Their departure served as a catalyst for the

presidents and athletic administrators of the remaining 16 schools to form a streamlined, efficient, dual-league organization. This “new look” was part of a national movement to consolidate similar institutions for competitive athletic opportunities while increasing presidential involvement in the setting of athletic policy. It also was the year Linda Hopple became the league’s first female executive director, serving from October 1993-May 2000. Ken Andrews took over for Hopple, becoming the conference’s third full-time executive director. The conference office was housed at Widener University from 198893. It was moved to the campus of Lebanon Valley College upon the hiring of Hopple and remains there today. A moratorium on new membership ended in June 1995. In December of that year, the board accepted Allentown College (now DeSales University) as a new member of the conference, effective for the 1997-98 academic year. DeSales was placed in the Freedom Conference , replacing Upsala College, which closed its doors in 1995. The conference sponsors competition in baseball, basketball, cross country, field hockey, football, golf, indoor and outdoor track and field, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball.

Billy “White Shoes” Johnson was among the first class of divisional football players inducted into the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame in August 1996. Fellow All-America Tom Deery became Widener’s second inductee in 1998, entering the hall’s third class. One of the most colorful and amazing open field runners in college football, Johnson still holds 29 school game, season and career records. During his time at Widener he shattered no less than nine all-time NCAA marks and 12 Middle Atlantic Conference records. During his career (1971-73), Johnson scored 62 touchdowns, rushed for 3,737 yards and accounted for 5,404 all-purpose yards.
Deery sparked many Widener comebacks with key interceptions and long kick returns, leading his team to a four-year record of 42-3 and an NCAA Division III title in 1981. A three-time All-America (1979-81), Deery still holds four school records, including career interceptions (24), career punt return yards (1,007), career interception return yards (293) and longest kickoff return yards (100).

WIDENER PRIDE
1977, 1981 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS The 1977 season provided more than just the school’s first NCAA championship in any sport. It left many memorable moments for a team who stuck together throughout the campaign after beginning in less than ideal shape. The offense looked in disarray with just one returning starter. The defense was in a worse predicament after three standouts decided, respectively, to quit, become a state trooper and enter the Marines. Leave it to perennially optimistic coach Bill Manlove (pictured) to turn the tide and create one of the school’s most magical runs. Manlove was not the only one wearing blue and gold in high spirits. After Widener’s season-opening 28-0 victory over Lebanon Valley, All-America running back Chip Zawoiski told Manlove, “I’ll see you in Alabama, Coach” (site of the national championship game). Zawoiski’s prognostication did not look profound after the following week’s loss to Fordham, but little did anyone know that would be the Pioneers’ final setback of the year. The Pioneers (11-1) rolled through the remainder of the regular season and into the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years. A quarterfinal date at Central in Pella, Iowa turned out to be no match. The home team sported the nation’s leading rusher, but Zawoiski stole the show with a then tournament-record 31 carries along with 171 yards in Widener’s 19-0 victory. The semifinal against Albany State was played in the mud at Memorial Stadium, coupled with a brutal wind. The Pioneers squandered an early 12-0 lead, but Steve Warrington’s 52-yard punt return for a touchdown was the catalyst in a 33-15 victory, confirming Zawoiski’s insight and Manlove’s belief in his unit. The Stagg Bowl in Phenix City, AL against Wabash saw Widener fall into a 10-0 hole. But in a contest which featured five lead changes, the Pioneers’ biggest play gave them an insurmountable advantage. The usually cautious Manlove called for quarterback Mark Walter to hit Walker Carter on a bomb, which worked for a 70-yard touchdown pass late in the game and a 39-28 lead. Upon the conclusion of Widener’s 39-36 victory, students who witnessed the nationally televised game on a rented seven-foot screen in Alumni Auditorium poured out of the hall and on to nearby Memorial Stadium in jubilation. The offense that looked skeptical, at first, saw Zawoiski finish the season with 1,576 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns, and Walter close with 1,312 yards passing and 15 touchdowns. The defense, minus all the defections, held seven opponents in single figures and yielded just 11.6 points per game. The 1981 undefeated season was as much about a team celebration than anything else. After all, the senior class could claim at year’s end a 42-3 record over four seasons, four conference championships, three NCAA Tournament appearances and a national championship. But it was one player who stood out. Tom Deery (pictured), a three-time All-American and one of two Pioneers in the College Football Hall of Fame, not only was the spark plug on defense and special teams a fourth straight season, but again provided the big moments when needed. Unlike the 1980 season when the Pioneers cruised to most of their victories, the ’81 campaign was a scratch-and-claw effort that saw the team defeat some game opponents and prepare them for bigger tests. The first big test was the last game of the regular season at Swarthmore with the MAC Southern Division title and an NCAA berth at stake. The Garnet fans were seeking a huge upset on their home turf, but the Pioneers’ defense came through by allowing just 53 yards rushing in a 16-6 victory. The national quarterfinals the following week at West Georgia this time provided an opportunity for the pass defense to shine. Widener surrendered just 89 yards through the air and held on for a 10-3 triumph. Enter Montclair State to Memorial Stadium for the semifinals. Enter Tom Deery. The Indians scored early in the fourth quarter to close within 14-12. Deery made sure it would once again be a two-possession game. Breaking a school record that stood since 1926, Deery returned the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and a 21-12 game. The 23-12 victory once again had the Pioneers packing their bags for Phenix City. This time, the final opponent would be one a little more familiar. Dayton not only was the defending national champion, but it had rallied from a 24-point deficit the year before for a stunning 28-24 semifinal victory over Widener in Chester. Just like 1977, the Pioneers found themselves in a 10-0 quagmire in the Stagg Bowl. They found a way again and this time, it would be Deery to the rescue. Deery came through by returning a punt 76 yards for a touchdown and a 10-7 deficit. Tony Britton gave Widener the lead for good on a 20-yard touchdown run and Mark Stephan added a 23-yard field goal for a 17-10 victory, capping a 13-0 season. Deery ended the campaign with 11 interceptions along with 833 return yards.

WIDENER PRIDE
LESLIE C. QUICK JR. STADIUM The capstone of the Widener athletic facilities is Leslie C. Quick Jr. Stadium, which was unveiled for the 1994 football season. Located in the wooded hollow that has grown from a 19th century quarry, the stadium is adjacent to the Schwartz Athletic Center complex. Dedicated on October 15, 1994, the stadium is named for alum and former University Chairman of the Board Leslie C. Quick Jr., ‘50. During his undergraduate years, Mr. Quick served as manager of the football and basketball teams for three years under Woody Ludwig. Quick Stadium towers over a new turf field (installed in 2005) designed with the flexibility in size to accommodate football, soccer, men’s lacrosse and track & field. Encircling the turf is an eight-lane, synthetic-surfaced, championship track, known as the George A. Hansell Jr. Track. The track, dedicated in 1984, is named for the former athletic director and coach. The mezzanine sports a Wall of Recognition, which features the dedication plaque and the names of over 400 alumni, faculty and friends so recognized for contributions to the stadium construction fundraising campaign. Of historical significance, the Wall of Recognition features three medallions removed from Memorial Stadium reading: “Pennsylvania Military College, 1926,” “Sound Mind in Sound Body” and “Dedicated to Youth.” Memorial Stadium, located behind Old Main, was the site of the University’s home football games for nearly 70 years. Widener fans, coaches and studentathletes share an enormous sense of pride in Quick Stadium, which provides one of the finest NCAA Division III facilities for players, press and spectators in the United States.

As assistant director of athletics, Shafer was responsible for overseeing all indoor sports, event management and facilities. He played a huge role in fundraising activities, including the school’s annual golf outing, and managing student involvement with the Special Olympics and Big Brothers-Big Sisters program. He stepped down in 2008 after five years as men’s soccer coach. The Pride in 2006 finished second in the Commonwealth Conference and notched their first home league tournament game in school history. For his effort, Shafer was named conference Coach of the Year.

Gillespie owns a 103-71 record as field hockey coach, which in 2006 included a run to the ECAC Mid-Atlantic Tournament for the program’s first postseason appearance. Widener that year broke the school record for most victories (13-6) and notched double figures in wins for a school-best fourth straight season. One of Gillespie’s career highlights occurred September 21, 2006, when Widener upended Neumann for her 64th victory to make her the program’s winningest coach. During her time as field hockey coach, 11 players have been named first team All-Commonwealth Conference and 18 have been tabbed second team. A standout player on Widener’s field hockey team as an undergraduate, Gillespie was second on the team in scoring during the 1996 and 1997 seasons.
