WIDENER PRIDE
COACHING STAFF
Bobby Acosta • Head Coach Bobby Acosta is living the dream. After a successful run as an assistant coach, his first run as a head coach only comes with a program that has a rich 132-year history and a plethora of accolades to show for it. Acosta is more than ready for the challenge and walks into a great setting. He seeks to uphold the tradition of a program that sports two NCAA titles and a record 19 Middle Atlantic Conference championships. “I’m very excited,” said Acosta. “As soon as I heard Widener opened up, I was attracted to the position. We have tremendous tradition and we can attract the best of players in the area. When I talked to Jack (director of athletics Jack Shafer), I told him that nothing was broken. My main goal is to play for championships and to attract top quality student athletes. I’m very excited for the opportunity.” Acosta arrives after five seasons at The College of New Jersey, where he was the offensive coordinator, wide receivers coach and tight ends coach. He was responsible for molding one of the area’s top offenses, served as the team’s academic advisor, was its strength and conditioning coach and oversaw video editing. The Lions’ offense flourished under Acosta, especially in 2011 when it went 7-3 and recorded a 27-21 win over No. 6 Montclair State. That squad ended the season averaging 185.5 passing yards per game, 176.7 rushing yards per contest and 24.6 points per game. Acosta’s influence helped Justin Doniloski to be named Honorable Mention All-New Jersey Athletic Conference last season after gaining 1,293 yards of total offense. In 2009, TCNJ averaged 208.7 passing yards and 164.3 rushing yards on the ground with quarterback Chris James throwing for 5,871 yards.
Acosta’s work at TCNJ was not limited to football. He also helped secure corporate sponsorships for the athletics department, was a site liaison at many home events, worked with the Alumni Affairs Office on numerous events, served as facility coordinator for the Fitness Center, was a campus disciplinary board member and coordinator of the school’s community outreach program that included the Special Olympics. Acosta also spent two seasons as the tight ends coach with the University of Delaware from 2007-08 as part of a staff that helped develop quarterback and eventual Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. He was also the academic advisor for the team which played for the 2007 NCAA FCS national championship and was selected as the ECAC Team of the Year. In the summer of 2010, Acosta worked in preseason camp with the Cleveland Browns as part of a program mentoring and offering professional development to college coaches. He also was part of a coaching internship with the New York Jets in 2008. Acosta also served as the defensive backs coach at Rowan University and the head coach at both Monmouth Regional High School and Marlboro High School.

COACHING STAFF
Mark Fetterman • Asst. Head Coach/Defensive Coord. Mark Fetterman is in his fourth season as the Pride’s defensive coordinator. His defense played a huge role in victories over Lebanon Valley and Lycoming in 2012 that helped Widener to the MAC title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. Fetterman returned to the college game after serving from 2000-04 as the defensive line coach and strength and conditioning coach at Lehigh. On the defensive line, he coached two All-Americans and 11 all-conference players. The Mountain Hawks in that stretch posted a 49-11 record and went to the NCAA Tournament three times. In his first four years on staff, Fetterman worked with former head coach Isaac Collins. Fetterman from 1997-99 was the defensive coordinator at Jacksonville University and from 1995-96 was the strength and conditioning coach at Ursinus, helping it to the 1996 NCAA Tournament. On the high school level, Fetterman was the defensive coordinator at Downingtown East High School from 2007-09.

WIDENER PRIDE
2013 PREVIEW It would be difficult for the average fan to conceive how Widener could top last year’s accomplishments. Winning a league-record 19th Middle Atlantic Conference title and going to the NCAA Tournament a 13th time made for a great campaign. The desire of wanting to repeat as league champs and winning a national championship is plenty of reason why the 2013 season could be one of the best in team history. Most of the attention this season will be centered around junior AllAmerica Anthony Davis, who has electrified many with his ridiculous speed, savvy play and ability to change games in a moment’s notice. A gifted athlete who gives the Pride many options, his talents at wide receiver and kick returner once again will have opponents looking to game-plan around him. Davis already has been tabbed Preseason All-America by the Sporting News and the Beyond Sports Network. Last season, he was picked second team All-America by the Beyond Sports Network, second team All-East Region by D3Football.com, ECAC All-South Region and first team All-MAC for a second straight year. He begins this season eighth in school history with 96 receptions and 1,655 receiving yards. Thanks to his play, the Pride enter preseason ranked 15th in the country according to the Sporting News and Lindy’s Sports Magazine has the team 16th in the nation. A strong defense is vital to any team’s success and Widener is fortunate to have seven starters back. This unit last season closed third in the country in sacks, ninth in tackles for a loss and played a key role in huge come-from-behind wins at Lebanon Valley and Lycoming. The defense gets a huge boost with the return of senior Colin Masterson, a first team all-league pick last season who this year was selected by the Beyond Sports Network as a Preseason All-American. His play last season at safety enabled him to close tied for fourth in the MAC with four interceptions and first on the team with 139 interception return yards, including a big 64-yard return for a touchdown at Lebanon Valley.
Ameer Sorrell
2013 FOOTBALL
Tyler Glover Sophomore Travon Barnes looks to team with Masterson at starting safety after ending last season eighth on the squad with 38 tackles. Junior Nicholas White also will be fighting for a spot at safety after picking off two passes last season. Juniors Drew Jemison and Martin Turner also will see time at safety. Junior cornerback Ameer Sorrell returns to his starting gig after getting 29 tackles last season and also is an option on special teams when opponents kick away from Davis. Senior Stephon Singleton moves into the starting role one year after amassing 30 tackles. Juniors Dijon Davidson and Ka’shawn Garnes as well as sophomore Jamal Goodman also will see time at cornerback. The defensive line gets three starters back in the fold including senior end and four-year starter Darius Johnson, who has had as much of an impact on defense as anyone. His quickness and ability to get in the backfield showed last season with eight tackles for a loss and six sacks to go with 35 tackles. Sophomore Shakore Philip and junior John DiBiase also are key parts of the defense and each return at tackle. Philip exploded in his debut season by ending second on the team with 10 tackles for a loss and third with 35 solo tackles. DiBiase also excelled in his first season as a starter, closing fifth on the team with 46 tackles and fifth with 7 1/2 tackles for a loss. Sophomore Stacey Sunnerville stepped in late last season at end to replace the injured Chad Gravinese and blossomed with 38 tackles. This included 15 tackles, four for a loss and three sacks vs. Salisbury in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Sunnerville returns for his first full season as a starter. Senior Dylan Ditmer was part of a strong three-man linebacking core that started together the last two seasons. Ditmer’s return on the outside should provide plenty of leadership for the newcomers after he was picked second team All-MAC, ending first on the team with 106 tackles and 11 for a loss. Brandon Harper steps into the roll of weak-side linebacker after getting 33 tackles last season. Fellow junior Kevin Burns looks for the nod at middle linebacker and will be challenged by sophomore Tyrone

2013 PREVIEW Bundy. Junior Kyle Twitty and sophomore Emmanuel Fields also will see time at linebacker. The offense has received more than its share of publicity the last few years and rightly so. After leading the country in scoring in 2011, the Pride came back last season to close fifth in scoring, third in sacks allowed, 10th in passing offense and 20th in total offense. The loss of All-America quarterback Chris Haupt certainly will hurt, but Widener is confident senior Tevin Campbell will be a viable candidate in challenging for the starting spot. Campbell is an energetic athlete with awesome quickness and great elusiveness. He ended as the Pride’s third-leading rusher last season with 266 yards.
Senior Michael Thompson and sophomore Seth Klein also will vie for the nod. While Davis’ exploits at wide receiver have been well-chronicled, he is not the only one who is capable of making big plays. Senior Jermaine Quattlebaum has put together a solid three-year career to date and more will be expected in his final campaign. He ended last season with 21 receptions for 198 yards. Connor Schlegel, who had numerous big catches in last year’s win at Lycoming, is back at wide receiver after finishing last year second on the team with 565 receiving yards. Fellow sophomore Philip Ragona made a big splash in his debut season with 39 catches for 409 receiving yards and hopes for even more this season. Sophomore Matthew Locotos also is back at wide out. Junior running back Couve Lafate has been one other teams have had to watch, even though Widener primarily has been a passing team. His athleticism and all-around play was key in him leading the squad with 309 rushing yards. Senior Terrant Morrison fell six yards short of a second straight team rushing title, but he led the squad with 5.6 yards per carry and is back to once again create a strong one-two punch. Sophomores Richard Brown and Robert Getz will vie for spots at halfback. Senior Brian DiGiovanni is the favorite to win the role at tight end and sophomore Haydn Warren also will challenge for that spot.

Widener returns one starter on the offensive line, but it is a key one in senior left tackle Mike Pacitti. A three-year starter, a 2011 first team all-league pick and a 2012 second team All-MAC selection, he is one of the vital cogs in the offense at this important position. Pacitti also will serve as a mentor to what will be a strong offensive line. Senior Ian Groover, one of Widener’s most reliable players when it comes to being the team’s long snapper, is a candidate to start at right guard. Sophomore Matt Donohue hopes he the one who get the call at right tackle. Junior Michael Ward-Evans is penciled in at left guard and sophomore Christopher Howard hopes is the one who starts at center. Special teams has been a vital part of Widener’s success the last few years. Davis’ exploits on returns and Groover’s durability at long snapper have made this unit one of the most successful in the country and one of the toughest to coach against. The graduation of first team All-MAC kicker and punter James McFadden is a huge loss and one that would cripple most teams. But sophomore Ryan O’Hara hopes to win the job and he will be challenged by junior Richie Eppleman. After three straight years of playing the earliest game in school history, a more traditional start of September 6 is on the way this season as the Pride visit preseason No. 3 and fellow national-quarterfinal participant Wesley. The home and league opener is one week later as Lebanon Valley pays a visit to Chester. It that game, Widener attempts to break its record of 14 straight victories at Leslie C. Quick Jr. Stadium. Widener’s next home game, September 28, should be an interesting one as the team hosts Lycoming. Last season’s tussle witnessed the Pride rallying from nine points down with five minutes left for a stunning 28-23 road victory. Homecoming is October 19 against Misericordia and the Keystone Cup game vs. Delaware Valley is November 16 in Doylestown.

Chris Haupt threw five touchdown passes and 25th-ranked Widener set a new opening-day scoring mark in a triumph over Western Connecticut. Widener’s first drive covered 60 yards and ended when Haupt found Anthony Davis on a 12-yard touchdown pass 2:45 into the game for a 7-0 lead. After Dylan Ditmer recovered a fumble, Haupt completed a short drive with a 36-yard scoring strike to Connor Schlegel late in the first quarter for a 14-0 margin. The Colonials made things interesting early in the second with Hunter Leili booting a 39-yard field goal and Ryan Falaguerra catching a five-yard scoring pass from Will Arndt for a 14-10 deficit with 12:38 left. But Widener ended the mystery by scoring three touchdowns on consecutive possessions in just under seven minutes for a 35-10 cushion. Alec Wrieth hauled in a 34-yard scoring pass, Terrant Morrison ran one in from 16 yards and Davis had a 14-yard scoring pass from Haupt. Michael Lacaria’s interception late in the first half set up a 27-yard touchdown pass from Arndt to Falaguerra with 15 seconds to go in the half and a 35-17 contest. Dom DePasquale and Wrieth each had touchdown catches in the second half, linebacker Kevin Burns returned a fumble six yards for a score and Robert Getz scored on a five-yard touchdown run. Haupt completed 25-of-37 passes for 298 yards and fell one touchdown pass shy of the school record set by Mike Warker on September 22, 2001 against Moravian. Davis ended with 207 all-purpose yards that included 79 receiving, 71 on kickoff returns and 57 on punt returns. James McFadden booted nine extra points to fall one short of the school record, one he would later break vs. Wilkes. Colin Masterson had two interception returns for 56 yards with Ditmer and Vaughn Nichols-Taylor getting six tackles apiece for the Pride. Widener notched a decisive 482-181 advantage in total offense, a 29-10 edge in first downs and completed an impressive 7-of-17 third-down conversions. The 63 points sets a new school record for most in a season opener, breaking the mark from the squad’s 52-13 victory over Wilkes on September 8, 2001.

No. 25 Widener scored 21 second-quarter points and the defense played solidly throughout in a victory at King’s. The home team took advantage of a short field to grab a 6-0 lead with 3:32 left in the first quarter. A 39-yard march ended when Kyle McGrath ran a sweep from two yards to open the scoring. The Pride got a huge break when a negative-two-yard punt from the Monarchs’ Dan Kempa went out of bounds at the King’s 30 yard line. The ensuing six-play drive ended when Anthony Davis beat his defender and caught an eight-yard touchdown pass from Chris Haupt for a 7-6 Widener lead three minutes into the second quarter. Widener bumped its lead to 14-6 with 6:17 to go in the half on a crazy play that started at the King’s 27 yard line. Davis caught a ball from Haupt near the sideline, broke several tackles and fumbled at the two yard line that went into the end zone. Davis did not quit on the play as he recovered the muff for the score. The Pride then got a much-needed score to gain control for a 21-6 lead with 3:21 to play in the half. Haupt threw a quick pass to Terrant Morrison, who eluded defenders and turned it into a 19-yard touchdown that concluded a 51-yard drive. Widener’s defense forced King’s into a threeand-out to open the second half and the offense gladly took advantage in what at this point was a solid downpour. Couve LaFate took a handoff on the drive’s first play and darted to the right side for a 35-yard scoring run and a 28-6 margin just two minutes into the half. The lead ballooned to 35-6 with 3:35 to play in the third when Dante Pergolese hauled in an eight-yard touchdown pass from Haupt. Dylan Ditmer added a score of his own when he ripped a completion out of the arms of Matt Henry and raced 45 yards for a 41-6 Widener cushion with 11:28 remaining. Haupt completed 15-of-29 passes for 205 yards and four touchdowns for the Pride, who ended with a 329-160 advantage in total offense. Davis closed with three catches for 60 yards and Dom DePasquale posted four receptions. The Pride’s defense more than did its job, ending with 10 sacks and 19 tackles for a loss. Chad Gravinese had 2 1/2 sacks to go with 10 tackles, Ditmer closed with 13 tackles, John DiBiase amassed 2 1/2 sacks and Nick Rodriguez notched two interceptions.

Widener christened the new field turf during the first home football game in Misericordia history on a fiveplay, 60-yard drive. The march was punctuated when Chris Haupt threw in the flat to Anthony Davis, who sprinted down the right sideline for the score and a 7-0 lead just 1:41 into the contest. The Pride then made it 13-0 on a crazy play with 9:56 left in the period. Misericordia’s Corey Wall dribbled a punt from near midfield and it was picked up by Terrant Morrison, who sprinted 62 yards with the gift untouched for the score. A second offensive drive in the quarter for Widener resulted in a 20-0 lead with 5:05 left that Couve LaFate ended on a one-yard touchdown run. Haupt was the star of the march as he completed all five of his pass attempts for 61 yards, including a 12-yard toss on fourth down to Dante Pergolese at the Cougars 15 yard line. Widener then used an efficient 12-play, 74-yard drive to make it 26-0 with 46 seconds to go in the first quarter. Robert Getz ended it on a one-yard run as part of a period in which the Pride had a 195-41 edge in total offense, 152-29 in passing yards and 10-1 in first downs. Haupt completed 12-of-15 passes in the first quarter. Davis reeled in a one-handed catch on a 61-yard bomb from Haupt early in the second quarter to make it 32-0. Getz bullied his way in from two yards midway through the second for a 39-0 cushion. Haupt got his third touchdown pass of the half by hooking up with Jermaine Quattlebaum on a 13-yard strike, making it 46-0. Davis and LaFate each had touchdown catches from Haupt in the third quarter and Tevin Campbell added a 14-yard scoring run in the fourth for the final. Haupt once again had a day with 432 passing yards, the fourth-most prolific number in school history. He completed 27-of-41 passes and equaled his career high with five touchdown passes for Widener, which amassed a 668-170 advantage in total offense and a 32-9 edge in first downs. Davis is not to be forgotten with seven catches for 165 yards and three touchdowns. Campbell added eight carries for 84 yards and a score. Brandon Harper paced the defense with nine tackles and two for a loss with Dylan Ditmer adding seven tackles for the Pride, who held the Cougars to 2-for-15 on third-down conversions.

No. 18 Widener almost re-wrote its entire record book in a convincing win over Wilkes. Chris Haupt tied the school record with six touchdown passes, equaling the mark set by Mike Warker against Moravian on September 22, 2001. That is one shy of the MAC record established by Joe Montrella of Juniata against Suquehanna in 1998. James McFadden booted a school and MAC-record 12 extra points, besting the old mark of 10 held by Widener’s Matt Breslin set last season against King’s. It is one short of the NCAA record set by Kurt Christenson of Concordia-Morehead against Macalester on September 24, 1977. The 90 points easily breaks the school and MAC record of 74 set against Lebanon Valley on September 20, 2003. Widener amassed 681 yards of total offense for the eighth-highest total in MAC history, one week after getting 688 yards at Misericordia for seventh place. The 467 yards passing is the ninth-best total in MAC annals. It also marks the first time Widener has scored at least 60 points in a game three times in one season. Anthony Davis caught two touchdown passes from Haupt in the first half and Dom DePasquale added one. Robert Getz and Couve LaFate each had touchdown runs as Widener opened a 35-0 halftime lead. Haupt threw for 415 yards, tied for the seventh-best mark in Widener history, and competed 21-of-27 passes. Alec Wrieth had three receptions for 121 yards and two scores with Davis getting three catches for 113 yards to go with 68 punt-return yards. Backup quarterback Tevin Campbell had nine carries for 69 yards and a score for Widener, which averaged 9.9 yards on each offensive play, only punted once and scored a touchdown on its last eight possessions. Connor Schlegel, Christopher Wickes, sophomore Leroy Wesley and Terrant Morrison also scored a touchdown with Jarard Stewart returning a fumble for a score. Dylan Ditmer had another great game that was lost in the offensive explosion, ending with 12 tackles that included nine solos. Widener snuffed all four of Wilkes’ fourth-down attempts to go with forcing seven punts and four turnovers.

James McFadden booted a 33-yard field goal in overtime for 18th-ranked Widener, which rallied from down 16 points late for an incredible victory at Lebanon Valley. Down 37-21 with 5:44 remaining, Widener remained confident on offense despite being down two scores. Chris Haupt fired a 38-yard pass to Anthony Davis that he hauled in at the five yard line to quiet the home crowd. Tyler Rank bulldozed his way in from one yard with 4:40 to play for a 37-29 deficit and a one-possession game. The defense needed to make a big play and it did. LVC threw the dice on third down and six at its own 36 yard line with 2 1/2 minutes left by deciding to pass. Colin Masterson made them pay as he took a deflected pass and ran it 64 yards down the right sideline for the touchdown. Couve LaFate then took a pitch from Haupt on the two-point conversion and scored with 2:11 left for a 37-37 tie. Widener’s Vaughn Nichols-Taylor appeared to have completed the turnaround by returning an interception for a touchdown with 21 seconds left, but a roughing the passer penalty was called on the Pride that all but sent the contest into overtime. Lebanon Valley got the ball first in overtime and Widener’s defense did its job, forcing the home team to only travel 12 yards. The Dutchmen were forced to kick a field goal, but Sean Fakete’s attempt from 30 yards went wide left. The Pride then got the ball, ran LaFate three times for nine yards and left it up to McFadden. He did his part on his first field goal attempt of the season, drilling one for the improbable win and Widener’s first 5-0 start since 2002. Haupt completed 22-of-37 passes for 257 yards. Philip Ragona had six receptions for 61 yards and Joe Wojceichowski made nine tackles for the Pride, who went 5-for-8 on fourth-down conversions.

Chris Haupt broke 17th-ranked Widener’s career record for touchdown passes as his team remained undefeated. Haupt fired three touchdown passes on the day and moved his mark to 74, shattering the previous record of 72 held by Mike Granato. Haupt, who completed 15-of-20 passes for 279 yards, needed just one drive to tie the record and give the Pride a 7-0 lead. Widener, which scored touchdowns on its first five possessions, gambled on fourth down and nine at the Stevenson 15 yard line and it paid off when Haupt found Anthony Davis on a touchdown pass just 2:16 in. The record fell on the next possession on a great play from Davis. He hauled in a pass down the right sideline, avoided several defenders and ran over another at the goal line for a 52-yard scoring play and his 11th touchdown catch this season to make it 14-0. His touchdowns catches this season are tied for fifth best in school history and helped Widener to its best start since opening 12-0 in 2001. Safety Travon Barnes forced a fumble on Stevenson’s next possession that Ameer Sorrell recovered at the Mustangs 37 yards line. The five-play drive ended when Tevin Campbell hooked up with Philip Ragona on a 35-yard touchdown pass with 2:31 left in the period for a 21-0 lead. Another big defensive play set up the next score as Widener end Darius Johnson forced quarterback John Gasparovic to fumble on a sack and Chad Gravinese recovered at the Stevenson 16 yard line. Haupt on the next play found Matthew Locotos on a touchdown pass with 1:37 to go in the quarter for a 28-0 cushion. This ended a dominant first quarter in which the Pride owned a 226-105 edge in total offense and completing 9-of-10 passes for 193 yards. Haupt completed 8-of-9 passes in the quarter for 158 yards and Davis had three catches for 75 yards. Dante Pergolese had two short touchdown runs with Robert Getz and sophomore Leroy Wesley each getting one for the Pride, who closed with 524 yards of offense and only had 10 of its 67 plays the entire contest come on either third or fourth down. Davis, who had two punt returns on the same possession returned for touchdowns called back due to penalties, closed with five receptions for 116 yards. Johnson ended with seven tackles, Barnes had six to go with two forced fumbles and Nick Rodriguez added a 43-yard interception return for the Pride, who forced four turnovers.

No. 14 Widener’s unbelievable run of comebacks continued as Anthony Davis hauled in a 34-yard TD pass from Chris Haupt with 17 seconds to play for a thrilling victory at Lycoming. Widener took a 7-0 lead with 6:42 left in the first quarter when Haupt found Couve LaFate on a 14-yard TD pass. Lycoming drove to the Widener six yard line where it had first down and goal before special teams took over. Ameer Sorrell came off the edge and with a block of Zach Czap’s 20-yard field goal try. The Warriors changed the momentum in the second quarter when Tyler Jenny hit Wes Strayer on a one-yard TD pass with 6:06 left for a 7-7 tie. Lycoming took its first lead with 37 seconds left in the half on a drive in which it converted two fourth downs. It scored in a wildcat formation as Matt Atkinson took the snap and ran six yards inside the left pylon for a 14-7 contest. Widener’s offense got on track in the second half as Haupt, who was 7-for-7 on the drive for 59 yards, hit Schlegel on an eight-yard scoring pass with 6:45 to go in the third. The Warriors got a huge break when LaFate fumbled and it was recovered by Cody Butler at the visitors 20 yard line. They were stopped at the one before Czap booted a 19-yard field goal on the first play of the fourth for a 17-14 lead. Another break occurred when Kabongo Bukasa intercepted Haupt at the Lycoming 48 yard line. Parker Showers dove up the middle five plays later and his second effort got him a one-yard TD with 9:21 left. Sorrell got another block as he deflected the extra point for a 23-14 game. Widener did not panic as a 13-play, 94-yard drive ensued which included a huge 33-yard pass from Haupt to Steve Marrero and a 38-yard toss on third down and 21 to Schlegel to the Warriors six yard line. Haupt ended the drive on a six-yard TD pass to LaFate for a 23-21 deficit to 4:27 remaining. The Pride’s defense then forced the Warriors to punt the ball and took over at their 22 yard line with 1:26 left and no timeouts. The visitors came through in the clutch again on third and 22 as Haupt found Marrero on a 40-yard pass over the middle to midfield. The third-down magic continued with the ball still at midfield when Davis made a leaping 16-yard catch to the 34-yard line. Two plays later, Haupt found Davis on a slant and he walked into the end zone for a 28-23 contest. Lycoming got the ball to Widener’s 41 yard line with two seconds left before Chad Gravinese forced Jenny to fumble. Haupt completed 34-of-55 passes for 395 yards and four TDs to become Widener’s career leader in passing yards. Davis had six catches for 97 yards for the Pride, who overcame seven turnovers by converting 8-of-14 third downs and got 489 yards of offense. Joe Wojceichowski had 15 tackles and Dylan Ditmer amassed eight for the Pride, who limited the Warriors to 3-of-14 on third-down conversions.

No. 12 Widener saw its offense continue to electrify and the defense make several stands in a heart-pounding triumph over Albright. Widener on its second drive needed just two plays to take a 7-0 lead. Chris Haupt fired a pass in which Steve Marrero took to the one yard line, was stripped by Matthew Hnatiuk, but recovered in the end zone for the TD. Things were less dramatic on the next drive as the Pride opened a 14-0 cushion with 6:47 to go in the first. Haupt completed all three pass attempts on the march before handing to Terrant Morrison for an eight-yard score. Albright was persistent all game as it closed to 14-7 with 3:26 left in the period when TJ Luddy found Scott Pillar on a three-yard scoring pass. Widener did not panic on its next march as James McFadden booted a 26-yard field goal with 52 seconds to go for a 17-7 contest. Albright’s Dan Sobolewski answered McFadden’s kick with a 30-yard field early in the second for 17-10 margin. The Lions then made it 17-16 with 3:53 left when Luddy found Pillar on a 57-yard bomb, but Ameer Sorrell blocked the extra point to retain the Pride’s lead. Widener got the momentum back on the next drive when Haupt found Anthony Davis on a huge 18-yard TD pass on third down for a 24-16 game with 2:22 remaining. The Lions then went on a 76-yard scoring drive as Ty Hughes barreled in from one yard with 32 seconds to go in the half, but Luddy’s run on the two-point conversion failed and it remained 24-22 at the half. Widener’s defense started the second half with a bang thanks to three consecutive sacks from Joe Wojceichowski, Jamal Dorsey and Chad Gravinese. The offense did its part on the other end as Haupt again found Marrero, this time from 20 yards with 7:50 left in the third for a 31-22 game. The Pride’s defense again continue its stand in the fourth as it came up with a huge stop after the Lions had first and goal at the two. Three of the plays were rushes in the middle of the line by Marty Reinhardt that were stopped, the last two by tackle Shakore Philip. McFadden drilled a 44-yard FG with 2:57 to play for a 34-22 contest and that looked to be enough. But backup Adam Galczynski led Albright on a 77-yard drive that ended on a seven-yard strike to Pillar with 39 seconds to go for a 34-29 game. Sobolewski’s on-side kick was recovered by the visitor’s Levi Myers at Widener’s 41 yard line. The Lions worked the ball to the 30 yard line before Galczynski’s desperation pass fell incomplete as time expired. Haupt completed 30-of-44 passes for 328 yards and three scores with Jermaine Quattlebaum getting nine receptions for 69 yards. Davis continued his thing on special teams with 208 return yards on a combined four punt returns and five kick-off returns. Dorsey and Dylan Ditmer closed with nine tackles apiece for the Pride, who amassed five sacks and six tackles for a loss.

Jermaine Quattlebaum hauled in a critical over-the-shoulder TD catch on fourth down with 7:58 left that help propel ninth-ranked Widener to its 19th MAC title. Widener extended its league record for most conference titles and completed its first undefeated regular season since 2001. This was the 100th college football game at Quick Stadium and 1,100th football in school history. It is the Pride’s first league title and first NCAA Tournament berth since 2007, when they also went undefeated in the conference. This looks dicey early for the Pride when a low snap on a punt was covered at the Widener five yard line. Three plays later, quarterback Aaron Wilmer ran one in from three yards for a 7-0 Aggies lead. The breaks then went Widener’s way on Del Val’s next possession. Wilmer dropped back to pass in the shadow of his goal line and had the ball slip out of his hand. Tackle John DiBiase was there for the recovery in the end zone and a 7-7 tie. Chris Haupt on the next drive found Anthony Davis on a 14-yard TD pass with 4:59 left in the first for a 14-7 contest. After missing an earlier field goal, Aggies kicker Brandon Snyder redeemed himself on a 34-yard boot with 9:42 remaining in the half for a 14-10 contest. Widener responded on the next drive as a 74-yard march ended when Couve LaFate scored on a five-yard burst for a 21-10 margin. Widener’s defense has more than made a statement all season and it came up with another when Wilmer looked to throw a screen pass and instead found outside linebacker Jamal Dorsey, who picked it off and ran 58 yards for the score and a 28-10 lead with 4:20 left in the half. The Aggies began to make things interesting late in the third when Dashown Waller ran one in from six yards with 17 seconds left for a 28-17 contest. Following an interception from John Robinson, Wilmer found Ed Ferrell on a 14-yard strike with 10:50 to play to make it 28-23. Widener on its next possession drove to the 29 yard line and was faced with fourth down and 13. The call was for a fade down the left sideline to Quattlebaum, who made a great catch for a 35-23 Widener lead that took away all of Del Val’s momentum. The Aggies on their next drive were stymied after four plays when Wilmer was intercepted by Jarard Stewart at the Pride’s 16 yard line. The visitors next drive ended after just two plays when DiBiase forced a fumble and got his second recovery of the day at the DVC 46. Widener’s Tyler Rank bulldozed his way in from one yard with 2:26 left for the final. Haupt furthered his case for national recognition by completing 19-of-30 passes for 232 yards and two scores. Davis had seven catches for 90 yards to go with 68 yards on kick-off returns for 158 all-purpose yards for the Pride, who converted 8-of-16 on third down. Dylan Ditmer had 10 tackles to go with one sack and DiBiase amassed seven tackles.

No. 9 Widener put up 37 points in the second half, turning a halftime tie into a 44-14 victory in the first round of the NCAA Division III Tournament. The Pride’s first home NCAA Tournament game since 2001 saw the home team grab a 14-7 lead with 10:04 left in the third quarter. Tyler Rank took a handoff and barreled his way in from three yards. Rank scored on the next drive, again from three yards, for a 21-7 margin with 4:51 left in the quarter. The 71-yard march was highlighted by a crazy 41-yard catch from Philip Ragona on his back after it was deflected and almost intercepted. The momentum at this point had been re-established by the Pride, who gained a 152-10 edge in total offense in the third quarter that included 102-0 in passing yards. The lead ballooned to 28-7 early in the fourth when Widener’s Kyle Shostek blocked a punt in the end zone and Martin Turner recovered. Anthony Davis caught an eight-yard touchdown pass from Chris Haupt, James McFadden booted a 30-yard field goal and Jamal Goodman returned an interception 95 yards for a score as time expired. Haupt, just named MAC Offensive Player of the Year, completed 22-of-32 passes for 317 yards. Ragona amassed six catches for 88 yards and Davis closed with 121 return yards for the Pride, who ended with a 463-195 edge in total offense. Dylan Ditmer had 10 tackles, 1 1/2 sacks and an interception with Chad Gravinese getting nine tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery. This helped the Pride, who closed with five sacks, hold the Bears to just 84 rushing yards on 36 attempts for a school that averaged over 237 rushing yards per game entering the contest. Chris Wickes had a 17-yard scoring run in the first quarter for the Pride and McCarthy countered on a one-yard burst with five seconds left in the half. Nick Pistacchio hauled in a 21-yard touchdown pass from Gelsomino in the fourth quarter.

No. 9 Widener used short fields to score a pair of second-quarter touchdowns before pulling away early in the fourth for a 28-7 victory over 11th-ranked Salisbury in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Pride, playing at home for a third straight week, also tied the school record with their 14th consecutive victory at Leslie C. Quick Jr. Stadium (2000-02). Widener got the first of multiple breaks in the second quarter when a fumbled snap from Salisbury quarterback Dan Griffin was recovered by Jamal Dorsey at the Pride 47 yard line. Both teams’ offenses had been stagnant at this point, but the Pride took advantage of the fumble to gain a 7-0. Following a 12-yard pass from Chris Haupt to Anthony Davis and a 15-yard personal foul penalty, Davis took a reverse and scampered 26 yards for a touchdown with 5:31 left in the half. Salisbury’s next drive lasted two plays as Griffin’s pitch back in the triple option was fumbled and Widener’s Stacey Sunnerville recovered at the Sea Gulls 14 yard line. The four-play march ended in just 51 seconds as Terrant Morrison barreled up the middle from one yard with 3:58 to play for a 14-0 margin. The Sea Gulls were still hanging around in the fourth quarter when Nick Ochoa blocked a 30-yard field goal attempt from James McFadden. They were able to march 38 yards to the Pride 45 yard line looking to do some damage. But that drive ended when Griffin’s fade pass toward the end zone was intercepted by Nick Rodriguez, who returned it to the 18 yard line. Haupt on the drive’s second play hooked up with a wide-open Davis, who darted 82 yards up the middle for a 21-0 cushion with 11:08 to play. Widener ended its scoring with 1:52 left when Haupt found Connor Schlegel on a 64-yard touchdown strike with 1:33 remaining. McFadden added his fourth extra point to extend his streak of consecutive makes to 51. The Pride’s attempt for their third NCAA Tournament shutout and first since 1994 came up 93 seconds short. Griffin found Juma Richards on a 35-yard pass to the two yard line and then ran it into the end zone himself on a quarterback keeper the next play. Davis had 11 receptions for 201 yards, both team records in an NCAA Tournament game and both career highs, to go with 273 all-purpose yards. Haupt completed 23-of-35 passes for 347 yards and two touchdowns with Couve LaFate getting 14 carries for 62 yards. Widener closed with a 445-230 edge in total offense. Sunnerville had 15 tackles to tie a team season high and added four tackles for a loss, three sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for the Pride, who had eight sacks and 16 tackles for a loss. Dylan Ditmer and Travon Barnes each totaled seven tackles. Salisbury was limited 121 yards rushing, 4-of-17 on third-down conversions and only had the ball 14 minutes in the second half after possessing it 21 minutes in the first.

No. 9 Widener’s incredible run that included a record 19th MAC title ended in the NCAA quarterfinals at top-ranked Mount Union. Widener got the first big bounce when defensive end Stacey Sunnerville forced and recovered a fumble at the Pride 29 yard line. On third down and 26 at the Purple Raider 45 yard line, Anthony Davis did his thing by making a great leaping catch in double coverage that got the ball to the three yard line. James McFadden capped the drive on a 21-yard field goal with 7:45 to play in the first for a 3-0 Widener lead. Mount Union struck back on the ensuing possession for a 7-3 lead as Kevin Burke threw a 10-yard TD pass to Jasper Collins with 6:08 left in the quarter. Tyler Almieda drilled a 27-yard field goal in the opening minute of the second for a 10-3 Purple Raider lead. That drive was aided on a huge third-down, 46-yard pass to Julius Moore that took it to the Pride’s 12 yard line. A blocked punt by Nick Driskill gave the home team a short field at the Widener 28 yard line. A great combination of runs and passes resulted in a four-yard TD keeper from Burke with 10:26 remaining gave the Purple Raiders a 16-3 lead. Mount Union figured a fake punt was needed to crack Widener and executed it. Punter Brandon Mathie took a snap on fourth down and five at the Pride’s 41 yard line, ran to the right and just got the first down at the 35 yard line. Burke ended the 10-play, 72-yard drive on a 10yard keeper up the middle with 6:18 to go in the half, making it 23-3. Bad breaks continued to haunt Widener as a low snap on a punt left the ball at the visitors 13 yard line for Mount Union. The home team continued to hold its own as Blair Skilliter ran all three times on the drive, ending it on a three-yard run with 4:33 to play in the half for a 30-3 margin. Driskill came up with his second blocked punt with 3:06 to play in the half and recovered it in the end zone, giving the Purple Raiders a 37-3 lead. Chris Haupt in the second half threw a two-yard TD pass to Philip Ragona and a 36-yard yard scoring toss to Steve Marrero. Haupt threw for 322 yards in his final game, completing 29-of-64 passes. He ends his standout career with 9,907 passing yards, 88 TD passes, 13 300-yard passing contests and 10,256 yards of total offense that are all school records. Davis closed with 106 yards receiving and 222 on kickoff returns for 328 all-purpose yards. Ragona amassed 102 yards receiving on a game-high nine catches. Dylan Ditmer had 13 tackles with Joe Wojceichowski and Colin Masterson getting eight apiece.

MIDDLE ATLANTIC CONFERENCE / 2012 REVIEW The Middle Atlantic Conference, 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 18 institutions). The Commonwealth is made up of Albright, Arcadia, Alvernia, Elizabethtown, Hood, Lebanon Valley, Lycoming, Messiah, Stevenson 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 three-section 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 1993-2000. Ken Andrews took over for Hopple, becoming the conference’s third full-time executive director. The conference office was housed at Widener University from 1988-93. 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 and replaced Upsala College, which closed in 1995. Stevenson and Hood joined the MAC in 2012-13 as full-time members and were placed in the Commonwealth Conference. Stevenson began competing in the league for football in 2011. Elizabethtown annouced it will leave the conference after the 2013-14 academic year. 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.

PRO SIGNINGS / HONOR ROLL
NFF & college FOOTBALL hall of fame 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. Bill Manlove, who coached Widener from 1969-91, was enshrined in 2011. One of the most explosive and amazing open-field runners in college football, Johnson still holds 28 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. He part of the inau-

gural class into the MAC Hall of Fame in 2012 and was named to the NFL’s 75th Anniversary Team in 1994.
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).
Manlove was the molder and shepherd for one of the elite programs to hit the gridiron on any level. His mild-mannered approach and belief in a team philosophy helped this proud program win NCAA titles in 1977 and 1981. Manlove also was a part of 10 MAC championships, seven NCAA Tournament appearances and four undefeated regular seasons during his tenure. He coached 31 All-Americans during his 23 years (1969-91) and posted 21 straight winning seasons. Manlove also has been inducted into the MAC, Pennsylvania Sports, Delaware County Sports and Camden County Sports Halls of Fame.

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 Hall-of-Fame 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 three 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 1981 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 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 student-athletes 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. The Pride on November 10, 2012 played their 100th football game at Quick Stadium when they hosted Delaware Valley. It also was on the same day Widener played its 1,100th contest in school history.

ADMINISTRATION
Jack Shafer • Director of Athletics Jack Shafer is in his eighth season as Widener’s director of athletics after serving the previous six as its assistant director. Shafer primarily is responsible for overseeing the school’s 20 sports and the overall growth of the department. As the director of athletics, Shafer has helped oversee upgrades to the Schwartz Center gym, pool and field house, an upgrade of various needs within the department and a greater community outreach among student-athletes. The summer of 2013 saw Shafer put forth further change with a complete overhaul of the weight room at Schwartz Center in addition to the pool undergoing renovarions. The Pride also took another major step toward reaching to the Chester community by seeing its men’s and women’s soccer teams play a regular-season game at PPL Park, starting in 2010. Under Shafer’s watch, the Pride have had five CoSIDA Academic All-Americas, nine named MAC Scholar-Athletes of the Year for their sport, nine tabbed Philadelphia Inquirer Performer of the Year for academic and athletic excellence, and 76 picked to the Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area Teams. 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
Larissa Gillespie
Asst. Athletic Dir. Larissa Gillespie is in her 10th year as Widener’s assistant athletic director and senior woman administrator. In addition to her administrative duties at her alma mater, Gillespie is in her 14th year as field hockey coach. She also coached women’s lacrosse from 2004-06. Gillespie owns a 127-95 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, 12 players have been named first team all-conference and 25 have been tabbed second team. Gillespie in June 2012 was one of just 126 coaches in the country who received an all-expense trip to the NCAA Women Coaches Academy, which provides skills training for coaches at all levels to assist them in being more efficient, productive, resourceful and successful. Last June, she participated in a conference by the NCAA and the NACWAA intended for leadership development among female administrators. A standout player on Widener’s field hockey team as an undergraduate, Gillespie closed her career with a then-school-record 16 goals along with seven assists for 39 points. She also was a two-time honoree on the Middle Atlantic Conference Academic Honor Roll. Gillespie received a B.S. in Sport Management from Widener in 1998 and an MBA in 2000.

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. He took over the men’s team after guiding the women’s squad for four years (2000-03). He helped Widener to a then-school-record 34 victories in that time, including a run to the ECAC Mid-Atlantic Region final in 2002. In his first season with the men’s squad in 2004, Shafer led Widener to the conference tournament for the first time in school history.
