Thanks in large part to the generosity of a host of Wagner Football supporters, Hameline Field is now equipped with permanent lighting. The first night game of the 2013 season is set for Friday, September 6 vs. Merrimack, a 6:00 pm start. In addition to hosting night football, as well as other Seahawk athletic events, Wagner athletic teams are now able to set practice times that better accommodate class schedules for studentathletes. Other benefits include granting general student body access for for intramural and co-curricular activities as well as creating opportunites to invite local school and community teams to use the facility. ______________________________________________________________________________ The 2013 Wagner College Seahawks Football Guide was written, edited, designed and typeset by The Wagner Sports Information staff, comprised of John Beisser, Kevin Ross, Gabe Gilson, Lauren Lovallo and Brian Walsh, with thanks t o all former Wagner sports information directors and their assistants.

THEN It’s a story that’s been told many times. It’s the story of a tiny college in New York City that defied the odds... and won it all. It’s the story of the 1987 Wagner College Seahawks football team. A group of tough, wide-eyed young men, guided by an energetic, enthusiastic, and driven seventh-year head coach a 36-year old man named Walt Hameline who, a quarter century later, still plies his same trade; nurturing, prodding, molding, disciplining and, above all, leading young men, The greatest day in the long and illustrious gridiron history of Wagner College came on a sunny December 12,1987 in Phenix, Alabama, as the Seahawks captured the 1987 NCAA Division III National Championship with 19-3 victory over the University of Dayton in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl. Winners of seven straight and 12 of 13 heading into the championship, Wagner rose to the challenge, jumping out to a 19-0 first-half lead. The Green & White never looked back in cruising to the College’s first and only national championship in any sport. Quarterback Greg Kovar got Wagner on the board early, finding split end John Chaney in the end zone from 22 yards out with just under two minutes left in the opening quarter. Fullback Tom Pugh put the Seahawks up 13-0, bulldozing in from one yard out. Wide receiver Keith Johnson capped the Seahawk scoring 20 seconds before intermission, hauling in a 22-yard Kovar spiral for the 19-0 halftime lead. With Kovar on his way to a 301-yard day, the defense took over from there, holding Dayton to just 234 yards of total offense and 2.9 yards per play. Defensive end George Gaspar led the way with 16 tackles and a sack while linebackers Artie DiMella and Chris West made 13 stops each. Following the season, their story grew as six players were named All-American, including three first-teamers. Their story was even splashed across a twopage spread in Sports Illustrated. Over these last 25 years, the Seahawks’ achievement has been well-told. It will be told again and again.

‘Julian Stanford Earns Spot on Jaguars’ 2012 Roster, Plays in All 16 Games Wagner College graduate Julian Stanford completed his 2012 rookie season with Jacksonville, concluding a whirlwind year that saw the 2011 First Team All-NEC selection evolve into a starter for the Jaguars after not being invited to the NFL Scouting Combine. The undrafted free agent broke camp with the Jaguars and made his presence felt immediately, recovering a fumble against the Minnesota Vikings in the season opener. Stanford’s outstanding play on special teams helped vault him into the starting line-up for six of the Jacksonville’s 16 games. Stanford was one of 19 players to play in all 16 games for the Jaguars, including just one of 10 defensive players, and finished his rookie campaign with 23 total tackles, including 18 of the solo variety.

WILLIAMS’ HOMECOMING HURDLE VS. BRYANT MAKES ESPN COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYS OF THE WEEKEND Among the news that the New York Times saw fit to print this fall were a pair of feature stories profiling Wagner College football. On November 9, the Times offered a feature detailing the Seahawks’ week of preparation for the Nov. 3 game at Albany on a campus without electricity due to Hurricane Sandy. The story, authored by Joanathan Zeller, described the Seahawks’ gallant 30-0 trumph at No. 18 Albany and how in the days after returning to campus, many of the Seahawks went down to some of the hardest-hit areas on Staten Island to assist in the relief effort. On December 1, the day of Wagner’s NCAA second round game at 4th-ranked Eastern Washington, Tim Rohan wrote a piece that focused on senior quarterback Nick Doscher and all of the injuries he persevered through in order to play four full seasons of college football.
After nine straight wins, a conference title and an appearance in the NCAA Division I Championship, Wagner was the toast of the town in a city called New York, New York.....THE MEDIA CAPTIAL OF THE WORLD!
The Seahawks appeared three times on ESPN 3 - Wagner performed in front of the ESPN 3 cameras during a narrow 7-3
defeat at Florida Atlantic, an FBS member who competes in the Sun Belt Conference. The thrilling 31-20 NCAA Championship First Round victory over Patriot League for Colgate was carried by ESPN 3 as was the 29-19 NCAA Second Round Loss at No. 4 Eastern Washington, a game in which Wagner led 19-14 late in the third quarter.

Talk About Seahawk Pride!
The cast of Legally Blonde comprised of students enrolled in Wagner’s renowned theater department, roots on the Green & White football team during the ESPN 3 broadcast of the Wagner-Eastern Washington NCAA game from the dressing room backstage............during the show! Let’s go Seahawks!!!!
Led by Ciocci, Seahawks Blaze Community Service Trail Named To Allstate, AFCA Good Works Team® Under the leadership of Walt Hameline, all Seahawk student-athletes are involved in the community and no one epitomizes this spirit more than Steve Ciocci. During his time at Wagner, Ciocci has made a name for himself on and off the playing field. Now in his first season as a Seahawk assistant coach, Ciocci enjoyed a productive career at Wagner, culminating in the Seahawks’ 2012 NEC Championship season, a season that saw the 6-4,290-pound offensive lineman earn First-Team All-NEC honors.
Wagner Claims NEC’s Highest GPA For Record Third Time
For a Northeast Conference (NEC) record third time, Wagner claimed the league’s Institutional Academic Award in 201212013 with a NEC-record 3.305 grade point average in its 19 sponsored sports. The Seahawks’ soccer (3.540), indoor women’s track & field (3.457), outdoor women’s track & field (3.457) and men’s lacrosse (3.230) teams paced their respective sports. There has perhaps never been a Wagner student-athlete who has made his presence felt, or leant himself to more charity and civic-minded causes in the local community, more than Ciocci. In September, 2012, he was among an elite group of 22 players from throughout the country named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team for the many community service programs in which he participated in, including several that he initiated. Along with his fellow Good Works Team members, Ciocci was honored at midfield during halftime of the January 3rd Sugar Bowl game between Louisville and Florida at the Superdome. In June, 2013, the NEC named the Royersford, PA native as the recipient of its Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Student-Athlete of the Year award. Each year, this award is bestowed upon an individual for his or her excellence in both the academic and athletic realms as well as leadership and contributions to one’s community. Ciocci, who served as Vice President of the Wagner SAAC, also received the 2013 Wagner College Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Agent of Change Award for spearheading a host of community service events during the 2012-13 academic year. Most notably, he organized and procured transportation for over 100 student-athletes to participate in Hurricane Sandy relief efforts throughout Staten Island. This past summer, several Seahawks studied leadership skills and their own professional identity by participating in a community internship and leadership course on campus by teaming up with three organizations on Staten Island, the Dr. Theodore A. Atlas Foundation, Markham Gardens Non-Profit Community Center and Guyon Rescue.
Community Service Inititatives Wagner Football Players Donate Their Time to Include: *Hurricane Sandy Relief *Annual Bone Marrow Drive *Relay for Life *Operation Christmas Child *Habitat for Humanity *The Atlas Foundation *Guyon Rescue *Markham Gardens Non-Profit Community Center
The Atlas Foundation provides financial, legal and emotional support to individuals and organizations in need, and focuses particularly on the needs of children. It was founded in 1997 by boxing trainer, commentator, and Staten Island native Teddy Atlas.
“The Atlas Foundation-Wagner College partnership is very important to me,” said Wagner president Richard Guarasci. “Teddy’s work in providing young men with the confidence to believe in themselves and aspire to a life of meaning and achievement is everything Wagner is about. It is a privilege to be a small part of the Atlas Foundation work and I salute Markham Gardens and Guyon Rescue for the important work they do and pleased that several Wagner student-athletes are contributing their time to these organizations as well.”
“Congratulations to the Wagner College student-athletes for their tremendous accomplishments in the classroom this year, earning an impressive combined GPA of 3.305,” said Noreen Morris, NEC Commissioner. “Such an achievement illustrates the dedication and commitment that President Guarasci, Athletic Director Walt Hameline and the Wagner coaches have toward the academic development of their student-athletes.”

WAGNER JUST ONE OF TWO PRIVATE INSTITUTUIONS TO REACH THE FINAL 16 OF 2012 NCAA FCS PLAYOFFS In 2012, Wagner was one of just two private schools among the 16 teams that earned spots in the second round of the 2012 NCAA Division playoffs. The only other private school to advance that far was Wofford College. In addition, Wagner and Wofford had the smallest enrollments among “Sweet 16” members. Wofford had the fewest undergraduates with 1,525 while Wagner checked in at 2,100.

Quick facts As tenacious as any Seahawk, Wagner College enjoys a bucolic perch atop Grymes Hill overlooking Manhattan and the other boroughs of New York City. Founded in 1883 as a Lutheran proseminary, Wagner has evolved to become an independent residential liberal arts college enrolling a capacity of over 2,000 students. The location of the College above the gateway to one of the world’s greatest financial and cultural capitals was the work of alumnus Frank Sutter who convinced the College’s Board of Trustees to relocate Wagner here from Rochester in 1918. In this, the Rev. Sutter and the trustees were extraordinarily prescient. Their wisdom provided Wagner with a distinct geographical advantage over all other all liberal arts colleges in the country. Wagner is New York State’s southernmost college and its 105 park-like acres represent the highest elevation on the eastern seaboard from Maine to Key West Florida. The College’s signature curriculum – the Wagner Plan for the Practical Liberal Arts – capitalizes on the best of a traditional, suburban, liberal arts college campus and the infinite array of educational opportunities afforded by New York City. Students intern in the world’s leading financial institutions. They observe and experience diversity from the sophisticated workings of the United Nations to melting pots of multicultural neighborhoods. They circulate in the city’s unparalleled creative environment of museums, media, and performing arts. This is their laboratory. They immerse themselves and are inspired by the city’s sheer energy. The contrast between the frenetic life of the city and the almost pastoral setting of the campus is the perfect metaphor for the melding of experiential and theoretical education that is the hallmark of The Wagner Plan. In small learning communities, students and faculty explore the conceptual foundations of the arts, humanities, and sciences. The faculty challenges students to consider new ideas, to master new skills and technologies, and to reflect and draw meaning from what they have experienced in and out of the classroom. A lush canopy of mature maples and oaks shades Wagner’s 105-acre campus of manicured lawns and gardens; historic and modern buildings; and sweeping views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New York Harbor. In early 2009, former U.S. President Bill Clinton recognized Wagner College and President Richard Guarasci, at the second annual Clinton Global Initiative University. Wagner was cited for the Port Richmond Partnership, an innovative program that will focus the school’s community resources in an effort to improve quality of life in a specific Staten Island neighborhood. Movie companies have frequently used the campus as a classic college setting, most recently for a movie titled “School of Rock” starring Jack Black (Shallow Hal). The picturesque campus was also used in a fall 2001 television series, The Education of Max Bixford, starring Richard Dreyfus and as the site of a prospective private military school in the HBO series, The Sopranos.
Since the adoption of the Wagner Plan in 1997, enrollment has increased by nearly 40 percent and student quality as measured by high school average and SAT scores have improved as well. Once largely a commuter campus, now 82 percent of all undergraduates live on campus in residence halls that offer “million dollar” views. Though continuing to serve students from metropolitan New York, the college draws most of its enrollment from beyond the immediate region. By every measure – enrollment, endowment, and national reputation – Wagner is ascending the ranks of America’s strongest small colleges that blend the liberal arts with a commitment to service and preparation for the professions. Campus life includes the array of sports provided by an NCAA Division I program which is housed in a 93,000-square-foot sports center featuring an extensive fitness center, an indoor NCAA swimming pool and a basketball arena. A football and track & field stadium showcases a variety of playing fields throughout the campus including baseball, softball, lacrosse and soccer venues. Wagner’s alumni include Broadway Tony award winners, movie stars, film producers, playwrights, and Fortune 500 CEO’s including the chairman of GE Investments, the chairman of Dupont Europe, the chairman Emeritus of The Oppenheimer Management Company and the chairman of the New York Power Authority. Visitors to and residents of New York City alike enjoy access to a rich and diverse array of museums, cultural organizations, arts performances, sports teams, societies and attractions. Some of the best and most famous attractions in the world call New York City home. We encourage you to find out more about them, so that you can plan a visit to what is one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world. To get to Manhattan from Staten Island, you can take a ride on the world-famous Staten Island Ferry, a well-recognized icon of New York City transportation, and incidentally, a free ride into the heart of New York City.

heagner Wagner Plan TheTW Plan Wagner College has developed a curriculum that unites deep learning and practical application. The Wagner Plan incorporates our longstanding commitment to the liberal arts, experiential learning and interdisciplinary education with our geographical location and enduring bond with New York City. Beginning their very first semester at Wagner, students not only study issues and learn critical-thinking, writing and problem-solving skills, but they also see and practice what they are learning. This “practical” side of liberal education is clearly seen in our Learning Communities and Reflective Tutorials and in the investment faculty make in connecting students with the world outside the classroom. Under the Wagner Plan, students complete a liberal arts core program and a major, totaling 36 units/courses. As part of these requirements, students complete three Learning Communities (LC’s)-one in the first year, one during the intermediate years, and one in the senior year in the major. For students admitted to the Honors Program, courses are designed to stimulate and challenge them intellectually and to offer exceptional academic and co-curricular opportunities. Honors courses are more challenging, involve more discussion/debate, and often (if not always) require longer and more in depth research papers and oral presentations by students. The Program is affiliated with the National Collegiate Honors Council.
Walter Hameline DirectorofAthletics/HeadFootballCoach Walt Hameline, who completed one of the most magical and memorable of his 32 years as Wagner Athletic Director/Head Football Coach in 2012, continues to amass an astounding record of achievement and consistency in college athletics while approaching each day with relentless energy, passion and enthusiasm.
In 2012, Hameline led the Seahawks to their first-ever Northeast Conference (NEC) Football Championship with a thrilling 23-17 come-from-behind victory over Duquesne on November 17, 2012, while clinching a berth in the 2012 Division I FCS Championship. The win personified the Green & White’s exhilarating season. Wagner began the season with three straight losses, before winning its next nine games. The eighth victory of the winning streak came in the NEC title win over Duquesne, with the ninth straight coming the following week over Colgate in the first round of the NCAAs. The Seahawks then took their 9-3 record to Eastern Washington where they stood shoulder-to-shoulder with No. 4 Eastern Washington in the NCAA second round game, seizing a third quarter lead before falling 24-14. In defying the odds throughout its triumphant march to the school’s first-ever Northeast Conference (NEC) title and the conference’s first-ever NCAA FCS win, Wagner compiled a 9-4 record, including a 7-1 mark in the NEC. The Seahawks finished the season ranked 21st in The Sports Network Final Top-25 Poll and 22nd in the Final FCS Coaches Poll, an achievement that marked the first time an NEC team has ended the season with an appearance in both official Top-25 polls. The accolades soon began to pour in for Hameline. After being named the 2012 NEC Football Coach of the year, he was tabbed the 2012 Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) National Coach of the Year by both College Football News (CFN) and the College Sports Journal (CSJ). Hameline was also named as one of the 20 nominees for the Eddie Robinson Award, which since 1987 has been awarded annually to college football’s top head coach in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). Shortly after receiving the news of his twin National Coach of the Year honors, Hameline, who owns a 213-127-2 (.626) record in his 32-year career, was inducted into the New Jersey Sports Writers Association Hall of Fame Not to be lost amid the host of accomplishments by the 2012 team, is the fact that Hameline helped lead the school to a 30-0 victory at nationally-ranked Albany in the week following Hurricane Sandy. After returning from the state capital, Hameline joined many of his team members aiding in the recovery efforts in some of Staten Island’s hardest-hit areas. In the 2012 home opener against Monmouth, Wagner College Stadium was renamed Hameline Field in his honor. Additionally, Hameline had his first former player crack the NFL ranks when Julian Stanford made the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 53-man roster to become the first Seahawk in the NFL since Wagner Hall of Famer Rich Kotite suited up for the New York Giants in 1972. Two years ago, on November 6, 2010, Hameline became just the eighth active FCS coach to win 200 games with a 31-20 victory over Monmouth, is 54th on the all-time NCAA wins list (any level) and one of just 36 coaches to win 200 games at one school.
Hameline has also had tremendous success in his role as Athletic Director of the Seahawks’ now 20-sport program. In April of 2012, Hameline, who has enjoyed a long and proud association with metropolitan area basketball and the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), was the recipient of the 2012 Distinguished Service Award from the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association (MBWA). Distinguished Service Awards are presented by the MBWA to individuals that have made significant contributions to college basketball. For more than two decades, he was one of five metro area athletic directors, along with his peers at NYU, Fordham, Manhattan and St. John’s, who helped comprise the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Association (MIBA). Along with NIT Executive Director Jack Powers, Hameline helped select teams for both preseason and postseason NIT’s, while directing other functions such as the NIT All-Star Summer Tour. Under Hameline’s leadership, the Wagner Athletic Department has undergone an ambitious expansion in both sport offerings and facility improvements. Hameline was influential in establishing the Seahawk Golf Classic, and the Seahawk Club, a pair of initiatives aimed at increasing funds for the scholarship endowment and complete financial support for the athletic department. Most recently, under his tutelage and thanks to the generosity of one of his former offensive lineman, Marc Lebovitz, Hameline Field was the beneficiary of a striking state-of-the-art video scoreboard in 2010. Lebovitz, a member of the Seahawks’ 1987 Division III National Championship football team and a 1991 Wagner graduate, is now a highly-successful New Jersey businessman. The scoreboard represents a major facility upgrade for the Green & White football program, while also benefiting the women’s soccer, men’s lacrosse, women’s lacrosse and men’s & women’s track and field programs that also call Hameline Field home. Prior to the momentous 2012 season, Hameline’s overall coaching ledger included five ECAC Titles and three NCAA Tournament Appearances, highlighted by 1987 NCAA Division III National Championship. In the magical Championship Season of 1987, Wagner posted a 19-3 win over heavily-favored Dayton in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl to earn the NCAA Division III National Championship. Against one of the toughest schedules in the nation, Hameline’s Seahawks rolled to a 13-1 record, winning more games than any college football team in America. The team earned the school’s second Lambert Trophy, symbolic of football superiority in the East among Division III schools, and ECAC Team of the Year recognition. Following the season, in addition to Sports Illustrated writing a feature story, a host of national and regional organizations recognized Hameline, highlighted by his being named the Chevrolet National Coach of the Year. In 1990, just three years winning the school’s only National Championship, Hameline became the winningest coach in school history. The 61-year old administrator has been a key developer of the NEC, serving on numerous committees, and is a past president of the league. Nine years ago, Hameline was honored for his playing, coaching and administrative achievements when he was inducted into the Utica Sports Hall of Fame. In addition, Hameline was given the AllAmerica Football Foundation Johnny Vaught Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998. An outstanding defensive back at Brockport State, Hameline received his Bachelor of Science degree in physical education in 1975, and went on to earn his Master’s Degree in education from the University of Albany in 1977. Hameline resides in Colts Neck, NJ, with his wife, Debi, and they are the proud parents of daughters Kristen and Kelly.

Head Coach Walt Hameline Head Coach Walt Hameline Hameline has also had tremendous success in his role as Athletic Director of the Seahawks’ now 20-sport program. In April of 2012, Hameline, who has enjoyed a long and proud association with metropolitan area basketball and the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), was the recipient of the 2012 Distinguished Service Award from the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association (MBWA). Distinguished Service Awards are presented by the MBWA to individuals that have made significant contributions to college basketball.
Prior to the momentous 2012 season, Hameline’s overall coaching ledger included five ECAC Titles and three NCAA Tournament Appearances, highlighted by 1987 NCAA Division III National Championship. In the Championship Season of 1987, Wagner posted a 19-3 win over heavily-favored Dayton in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl to earn the title. Against one of the toughest schedules in the nation, the Seahawks rolled to a 13-1 record, winning more games than any college football team in America. The 1987 team earned the school’s second Lambert Trophy, symbolic of football superiority in the East among Division III schools, and ECAC Team of the Year recognition. Following the season, in addition to Sports Illustrated writing a feature story, a host of national and regional organizations recognized Hameline, highlighted by his being named the Chevrolet National Coach of the Year. In 1990, just three years winning the school’s only National Championship, Hameline became the winningest coach in school history.
For more than two decades, he was one of five metro area athletic directors, along with his peers at NYU, Fordham, Manhattan and St. John’s, who helped comprise the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Association (MIBA). Along with NIT Executive Director Jack Powers, Hameline helped select teams for both preseason and postseason NIT’s, while directing other functions such as the NIT All-Star Summer Tour. Under Hameline’s leadership, the Wagner Athletic Department has undergone an ambitious expansion in both sport offerings and facility improvements. Hameline was influential in establishing the Seahawk Golf Classic, and the Seahawk Club, a pair of initiatives aimed at increasing funds for the scholarship endowment and complete financial support for the athletic department. Most recently, under his tutelage and thanks to the generosity of one of his former offensive lineman, Marc Lebovitz, Hameline Field was the beneficiary of a striking state-of-the-art video scoreboard in 2010. Lebovitz, a member of the Seahawks’ 1987 D- III National Championship team and a 1991 Wagner graduate, is now a highly-successful New Jersey businessman. The scoreboard represents a major facility upgrade for the football, women’s soccer, men’s lacrosse, women’s lacrosse and men’s & women’s track and field programs.
The 62-year old administrator has been a key developer of the NEC, serving on numerous committees, and is a past president of the league. Nine years ago, Hameline was honored for his playing, coaching and administrative achievements when he was inducted into the Utica Sports Hall of Fame. In addition, Hameline was given the All-America Football Foundation Johnny Vaught Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998. An outstanding defensive back at Brockport State, Hameline received his Bachelor of Science degree in physical education in 1975, and went on to earn his Master’s Degree in education from the University of Albany in 1977. Hameline resides in Colts Neck, NJ, with his wife, Debi, and they are the proud parents of daughters Kristen and Kelly.

STEVE CIOCCI
patrick o ’ connor
assistant offensive line coach
assistant defensive backs
Steve Ciocci, who has made a name for himself on and off the playing field throughout his Seahawk career, enters his first season as assistant offensive line coach in 2013. On the field, the 6-4, 290-pound right tackle started 25 consecutive games to close out his career and earned his first NEC nod last fall by opening holes for All-NEC running back Dominique Williams and providing protection for AllNEC quarterback Nick Doscher. The Seahawks, who finished 9-4 in a landmark season for the program, claimed the school’s first NEC Football title, became the first NEC program to win an FCS playoff game, and ranked 21st in the nation in the final Sports Network FCS poll. At year’s end, Ciocci was invited to participate in the FCS Senior Scout Bowl and Pro Grass International Scout Bowl. There has perhaps never been a Wagner student-athlete who has made his presence felt, or leant himself to more charity and civic-minded causes in the local community, more than Ciocci. In September, he was among an elite group of 22 players from throughout the country named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team for the many community service programs in which he participated in, including several that he initiated. Along with his fellow Good Works Team members, Ciocci was honored at midfield during halftime of the January 3 Sugar Bowl game between Louisville and Florida at the Superdome. Most recently, in June, 2013, the NEC named the Royersford, PA native as the recipient of its Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) StudentAthlete of the Year award. Each year, this award is bestowed upon an individual for his or her excellence in both the academic and athletic realms as well as leadership and contributions to one’s community. Ciocci, who served as Vice President of the Wagner SAAC, received the 2013 Wagner College Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Agent of Change Award for spearheading a host of community service events during the 2012-13 academic year. Most notably, he organized and procured transportation for over 100 student-athletes to participate in Hurricane Sandy relief efforts throughout Staten Island. In May, 2012, Ciocci graduated with a degree in Business Administration, and is now pursuing his MBA at Wagner. He compiled a 3.53 grade point average as an undergraduate and maintains a 3.85 GPA in his graduate studies. Ciocci was a three-time member of the NEC Academic Honor Roll, and in 2012 was named to the exclusive NEC Commissioner’s Honor Roll (3.75 or better GPA). Last fall he was tabbed to the FCS Athletic Directors Association Academic All-Star team, one of just 54 players nationwide to earn the honor.
Patrick O’Connor, who made a name for himself both on and off the field as a model studentathlete during his Seahawk career, enters his first season as assistant defensive backs coach in 2013. A 6-1, 190-pound free safety, O’Connor played in 45 games during his Seahawk career, while gaining a starting assignment 22 times. After gaining experience as a reserve and on special teams in his first two seasons, O’Connor broke out over the course of his junior and senior years as a standout member of the Seahawks’ defense. As a junior in 2011, O’Connor started in nine of the 10 games in which he appeared, finishing fourth on the team with 55 tackles to go along with two fumble recoveries on the year. O’Connor’s efforts helped spearhead a Wagner defense that ranked No. 1 in the NEC in three different categories: rushing defense (141.1 yards per game), red zone defense (71.8%) and takeaways (29). In his senior season of 2012, O’Connor emerged as one of the stars of a Seahawk defensive unit that top ranked defensive unit while earning Second-Team All-NEC honors and being named NEC Defensive Player of the Week on two occasions. The Seahawks finished 9-4 in a landmark season a year ago, one that saw Coach Hamline’s squad claim the school’s first NEC Football title, become the first NEC program to win an FCS playoff game, and ranked 21st in the nation in the final Sports Network FCS poll. O’Connor finished his final season ranked second on the team with 86 tackles, including a team leading 50 solo tackles, while notching eight pass breakups, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and one interception. During the postseason he was recognized for his accomplishments both on and off the field of play. Along with picking up All-Northeast Conference honors, he was named, along with 54 other players from across the country, to the 2012 Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association (FCS ADA) Academic All-Star Team along with teammate Steve Ciocci.

2012 OVERVIEW/2013 top returnees The 2012 season was a magical and memorable one for the Wagner Seahawks. The13-game test began in August, ended in December and, in-between, featured a host of record-setting feats and consistently-high level performances.
shane roff equipment manager
Amazingly efficient on offense, the Seahawks committed just six turnovers on the season, which topped the nation. Senior quarterback threw an interception in the second quarter of the August 31 season opener at FBS member Florida Atlantic. It would prove to be his last INT of the season as he concluded his stellar career with a remarkable 221 consecutive passes without an interception, finishing with an uncanny 13-1 touchdown to interception ratio.
Shane Roff enters his first season as Head Equipment Manager for the Wagner football program, having been elevated into this position after serving in the capacity of Assistant Equipment Manager since August, 2010. With three years of experience under his belt, Roff is a valuable addition to the Wagner athletics staff. He now assumes full responsibility of equipment and apparel purchasing, fitting, distribution, and repair for over 140 student-athletes, coaches and staff. A former Seahawk offensive lineman, Roff will also organize equipment team travel for the Seahawks’ five road contests in 2013.
Defensively, the Seahawks were fast, furious and ferocious in finishing in the Top 20 in four major defensive categories – ninth in scoring defense (17.54), 19th in pass defense (177.38) and 19th in total defense (320.08).
Roff’s work background includes a stint as a camp supervisor at the Don Bosco Day Camp in his hometown of Stony Point, NY and as an assistant shipping manager for Abbey’s Ice in Spring Valley, NY. Roff is a 2013 graduate of Wagner, where he majored in U.S. History.

Wagner cruised through the NEC, highlighted by an attention-grabbing 30-0 win at No. 19 Albany on Nov. 3. Two weeks later, the Seahawks held off a tough Duquesne outfit 24-17, sending Staten Island into a celebratory frenzied state.
assistant strength coach
In the playoffs, Wagner knocked off Colgate at Hameline Field 31-20 in front of a capacity crowd and an audience logged in on ESPN3. In round two, the Seahawks battled the mighty No.4-ranked Eastern Washington on their famed red playing surface, seizing a 19-14 third-quarter lead before falling 29-19 in other contest played before an ESPN3 audience.
Keith Davis enters his second year as a member of the Wagner strength and conditioning staff. A former member of the Seahawk football team, Davis certainly has an expertise with the operation of a productive and efficient fitness center.
In 2013, the Wagner offense will again go through running back Dominique Williams. Last season, he rushed for 1,328 yards and 13 touchdowns. As a fifth-year senior, the Seahawks will look to exploit Williams’ rare and varied skill-set in both the running phase and as a receiver out of the backfield.
Davis, who returned to Grymes Hill after graduating from Wagner in 2010, finished second on the team in tackles from his linebacker position in each of his junior and senior seasons. As a senior in 2010, Davis was named a team captain. Seahawk football fans will recall that in the Seahawks’ come-from-behind win at Georgetown in 2010, it was Davis who came up with an interception on the opening play of the second overtime and returned it 80 yards for the game-winning touchdown in the 22-14 win.
Williams will operate this season behind an experienced and talented offensive line that returns four starters in redshirt junior center David Fredrickson, senior right tackle Brett Buzzard, redshirt sophomore right guard Kevin Messier and senior left guard Chris Furner. Added to this quartet of returners is fifth-year senior Matt McBride, a transfer from Rutgers. All five are big and strong players who are eyeing All-NEC honors.
Prior to playing for the Green & White, Davis played football while attending Globe Institute of Technology. Davis is a native of Harrisburg, PA.
At quarterback, redshirt junior quarterback Matt Misley is the most experienced signal-caller while redshirt freshman Chris Andrews is a talented left-hander. Junior wide receiver Anthony Carrington is a big play receiver who had a breakout year as a sophomore, catching 27 passes for 491 yards and four scores.
J erome williams assistant strength coach Jerome Williams is in his first year as a graduate assistant in the Seahawk strength and conditioning program. In 2012, Williams played a leadership role at defensive end and on special teams in helping the Seahawks to the school’s first-ever NEC Football Championship. After transferring to Wagner following four years as a member of the UConn football program, the 6-1, 255-pound Williams recorded 7.0 tackles for loss for minus 35 yards while contributing four sacks for minus 25 yards. Prior to his four-year career at UConn, Williams was an All-State selection, two-time All-South Jersey choice while also being named a two-time All-County and an All-League honoree at Holy Cross HS.

2013 all-nec pre-season team
CB Jarret dieudonne 2013 Preseason All-Northeast Conference
JARRETT DIEUDONNE 1
CB 6-1 190 R-Jr. Fort Lauderdale, FL/Dillard Purdue University - CAPTAIN
Jarrett Dieudonne is a transfer from Purdue University of the Big 10, Jarrett Dieudonne is a returning First-Team All-NEC performer who contributed mightily to the Seahawks’ 2013 NEC Championship. A punishing tackler with tremendous cover skills, the skilled 6-1, 190-pound Dieudonne has the potential to be one of the top cornerbacks in the NEC. He recorded multiple tackles in 12 of the Seahawks 13 games in 2012 and tied for first on the team with three interceptions. He tallied four or more tackles in seven games last season, highlighted by six-tackle contests against Monmouth (9/15) and Eastern Washington (12/1). He recorded a 66-yard fumble recovery against Holy Cross (11/10) and was credited with five pass breakups on the season.
Five Seahawks were named to the All-NEC Team, which tied Robert Morris for the most in the conference, and include redshirt junior cornerback Jarrett Dieudonne (Fort Lauderdale, FL/Dillard/Purdue), redshirt junior center David Fredrickson (Staten Island, NY/ Poly Prep), fifth-year senior kicker David Lopez (Plantation, FL/ American Heritage), redshirt junior tight end Bryant Watts (Burlington, NJ/ Florence) and fifth-year senior running back Dominique Williams (Bridgeton, NJ/Bridgeton/Milford Academy). Dieudonne is a returning First-Team All-NEC performer who contributed mightily to the Seahawks' 2013 NEC Championship. The multi-skilled 6-1, 190-pounder recorded multiple tackles in 12 of the Seahawks 13 games in 2012 and tied for first on the team with three interceptions. He tallied four or more tackles in seven games last season, highlighted by six-tackle contests against Monmouth (9/15) and Eastern Washington (12/1). A highlight of his season came in the stirring come-from-behind win over Holy Cross (11/10) when he recorded a 66-yard fumble recovery. Fredrickson is a local product who earned the starting center spot in 2011 preseason camp and has gone on to start the next 24 games, including all 13 during Wagner's 2012 NEC Title run. Cerebral and physical, the lefthanded Fredrickson has displayed both consistency and durability throughout his Seahawk career and is one of the unquestioned leaders of the Seahawk offense. Lopez is one of the top kickers in Seahawk history and returns as a fifth-year season having converted 35-of-56 over his accomplished career. The 35 made field goals rank tied for second in Wagner history while his 100 made PAT's rank fifth. In helping lead Wagner to the 2012 NEC title, Lopez connected on 16-of-21 field goal attempts, a 76.2 percentage, with a long of 51. In field goal tries of 39 yards or less, Lopez was 11-of-12. He was also successful on 32-of-35 PATs. As a sophomore in 2010, Lopez earned Second-Team All-NEC honors. Watts is a physically-gifted athlete and a huge target at 6-5, 250 who runs extremely well. In addition to being an effective receiver, Watts uses his strength and wide frame to gain leverage at the point of attack, which allows him to be an effective blocker. In 2012, he appeared in all 13 games, starting in eight, and caught six passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns. He recorded career highs with three receptions for 48 yards and a touchdown to key a 31-21 win over Bryant (9/29) Williams has evolved into one of the household names in the NEC as well as on the national stage and enters the 2013 season with 3,308 career rushing yards, which ranks fourth in the Seahawk all-time annals. The strong, agile 5-9, 205-pounder rushed for 1,228 yards last season, placing him seventh on the school's all-time singleseason list, just 10 yards behind the sixth-highest mark of 1,338 that he gained in 2011.

the northeast conference About the Northeast Conference It is vwith great pride and anticipation that the Northeast Conference (NEC) enters its 33rd year as an NCAA Division I athletic conference. Ten strong and committed to strengthening the conference from within, the NEC comes off the most successful year in league history in terms of athletic and academic success. Poised for a new era of growth, innovation and achievement under the leadership of Noreen Morris, the Conference will continue to build around the theme of #NECPride.
level set. Providing an alternate take on the world of NEC sports, the NEC Overtime! blog continued to grow its following during the 2012-13 academic year. The blog, along with the league’s Facebook page, served as the home for numerous fan-based contests throughout the year, including #NECRoadTrip and #SweetGetaway promotions. The blog also served to reward the most rabid NEC fans who participated in social media-related activities (#NEC13 Sixth Man Award, #NECPridePix, #NECElite) throughout the NEC Basketball Tournament. The NEC continued its partnership with sports talk stations WFAN Sports Radio 66 (New York) and KDKA 93.7 FM “The Fan” (Pittsburgh) to air 60-second NEC Notebook radio spots throughout the basketball season. With increased support through the NEC’s basketball enhancement fund, the Conference was also able to add new markets in Baltimore (CBS Radio/ESPN Radio), Hartford (ESPN Radio/Fox Sports Radio) and Altoona (ESPN Radio) to its radio advertising mix last winter and help increase the league’s exposure in these areas.
The NEC and its member institutions are committed to providing opportunities for student-athletes to achieve their fullest potential both in athletic competition and in the classroom. Likewise, the Conference continually strives to be an NCAA Division I leader for student-athlete achievement, academic excellence, integrity, sportsmanship, equity and diversity, community partnership and national engagement.
Over the last five years, the NEC has regionally televised over 125 basketball and football games, as the league’s coverage area has expanded to over 50 million homes. Along with flagship station MSG Network, other regional television partners include Root Sports-Pittsburgh, MASN and Cox Sports. The NEC has also partnered with ESPNU, ESPN3 and Fox College Sports to bring games to a national audience. In 2013, ESPN2 broadcast the NEC men’s basketball championship game for the 26th straight year, while ESPNU carried the women’s championship for the sixth year in a row.
When the Northeast Conference (NEC) was first established as the ECAC-Metro Conference back in 1981, the league’s founders had one goal in mind: to create a competitive NCAA Division I men’s basketball conference for unaffiliated schools on the Eastern seaboard. A single-sport entity at its inception, the NEC has grown far beyond expectations over the past three plus decades, having transformed itself into a 10-member, 22-sport conference.
Success in the Classroom The NEC and its member institutions raised the bar once again with respect to the academic excellence displayed by the 4,800+ student-athletes who represented the Conference during the 2012-13 academic year.
The remarkable success story of the Conference began to unfold in 1985, when the league began sponsoring additional sports. Three years later, a change of name was in order and the Northeast Conference as we know it today was born. With membership and sport sponsorship continuing to grow over the years, the NEC now enjoys qualification or play-in access to 14 different NCAA Championships (baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s volleyball). NEC Footprint - 2013-14 (400w) Though the NEC has featured various incarnations since its inception, charter members Fairleigh Dickinson, LIU Brooklyn, Robert Morris, St. Francis Brooklyn, Saint Francis U and Wagner remain part of the current 10-school alignment. They are joined by Mount St. Mary’s (admitted in 1989), Central Connecticut (1997), Sacred Heart (1999) and Bryant (2012). The NEC’s six-state geographic footprint includes access to such major media markets as New York City, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Hartford and Providence. NEC member institutions now compete in 22 championship sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s bowling, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball. An Innovative Leader The NEC has embraced new and social media to convey its message to a growing fan base. The conference has attracted a loyal following in recent years on its Twitter, Facebook and YouTube pages, and the NEC Overtime! blog continues to grow in popularity. Attempting to revolutionize the way its fans follow and interact with their favorite teams, the Conference launched NEC Front Row at the start of the 2012 fall season. The online digital network with free multi-platform access features a rich set of content, including live events, on-demand video, highlight packages, coaches shows, features, original programming and access to league’s extensive digital library, all free of charge to users. The network gives fans inside access to the NEC and its student-athletes on the field, in the classroom, across campus, and in the community. By the end of May, over 700 events had been broadcast on NEC Front Row with viewership approaching 200,000 for the year. All NEC championship webcasts in 2012-13 were produced in HD for the first time. Championships broadcast in their entirety were men’s and women’s soccer, field hockey, women’s volleyball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s lacrosse, softball and baseball. The Conference also aired portions of the women’s bowling championship and two women’s basketball semifinal games. NEC Front Row proudly presented its first documentary short, #NECPride, Moon Magic, in April, recounting the events of a 48-hour period in March that culminated with Robert Morris defeating defending national champion Kentucky in the Postseason NIT. The NEC Front Row studio set made its debut last winter two new segments. A weekly NEC on the Run video podcast spotlighted the best and brightest in NEC men’s and women’s hoops and featured and the popular NEC9 countdown of the week’s top plays from around the league. The Conference also debuted NEC Now, a segment devoted to breaking news and current hot topics in and around NEC sports. For the first time in more than a decade, the NEC hosted a basketball preseason media day, but with a special twist. Combining social media and a state-of-theart venue, the NEC hosted “Social” Media Day last October at the brand-new Barclay’s Center on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. The festivities aired live on NEC Front Row and a tape-delayed broadcast received multiple airings on Fox College Sports. The Front Row broadcast was an interactive one during which fans were encouraged to tweet comments and questions with the best making it on air.

NEC student-athletes averaged a record-high 3.18 GPA for the 2012-13 academic year and nine of the ten core member institutions finished the year with at least a 3.0 GPA. A record 2,339 student-athletes - nearly half of the league’s competitors – were named to the NEC Academic Honor Roll in 2012-13, while an all-time high 585 were tabbed to the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll with GPAs of 3.75 or higher. Likewise, eight NEC student-athletes were tabbed Capital One Academic All-Americans. Additionally, the NCAA honored 44 NEC teams with public recognition awards for exceptional academic performance with respect to their latest Academic Progress Rate scores. The 44 teams earning Public Recognition established a new league record. NEC institutions also ranked among the nation’s elite in Graduation Success Rate (GSR) figures released by the NCAA with 42 teams achieving a perfect 100 percent GSR in their respective sports and nearly 40 percent earning a GSR of over 90 percent. Student-athletes at Wagner posted an NEC all-time high 3.31 GPA to win the 2012-13 NEC Institutional Academic Award. Athletic Achievement The NEC sent representatives to NCAA Championship events in 15 different team sports in 2012-13, with a record five teams claiming victories on the grandest stage. Likewise, there were 15 NEC teams who were ranked in national polls at some point during their respective campaigns. A total of seven men’s and women’s track and field performers individually qualified for NCAA championships, and the Conference also sent a representative to the NCAA men’s golf championship. Individually, 13 NEC student-athletes earned All-America honors in their respective sports. For the second straight year and third time in league history, the NEC sent three men’s basketball teams (LIU, Robert Morris and Bryant) to the postseason. In the 30+ years of NEC men’s basketball history, no team had ever “three-peated” as champion until LIU Brooklyn etched its name in the league recordbook last March. The Blackbirds once again hoisted the trophy on their home court, beating Mount St. Mary’s, 91-70, before a raucous, sellout crowd at the WRAC and nationwide ESPN2 audience. The Blackbirds have now won 72 games and posted a 44-10 record in NEC play over the last three seasons. In perhaps the most talked about win in league history, Robert Morris became the toast of the college basketball and social media world with its stunning 59-57 win over Kentucky in the first round of the Postseason NIT. Hosting the game before a record crowd at the Sewall Center, the Colonials raced out to an early lead and held on to beat the defending national champions, setting off a madcap postgame celebration that wasn’t just confined to Moon Township. RMU and head coach Andrew Toole also trended worldwide on Twitter following the win. NEC women’s basketball also matched an all-time high with three teams earning invitations to the postseason (Sacred Heart, Saint Francis U and Quinnipiac). In just the third year the NEC has earned an autobid to the NCAA FCS playoffs, Wagner made history with its 31-20 win over Colgate in the first round of the FCS playoffs at Hameline Field. It marked the first-ever NCAA football victory for the NEC, and the Seahawks gave No. 2 Eastern Washington all it could handle in the second round, leading late in the third quarter before coming up short by a 29-19 final score. Wagner was ranked No. 21 in the final Sports Network FCS Poll and 22nd in the final FCS Coaches’ Poll. The NEC continued to earn national acclaim in men’s soccer. Reminiscent of its run to the Elite Eight more than a decade earlier, Fairleigh Dickinson advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Men’s Soccer Tournament after capturing its seventh NEC championship. The Knights ousted No. 18 St. John’s (1-0) and No. 12 St. Louis (2-1 in 2 OT) on the road in the first two rounds, before dropping a 1-0 overtime decision at No. 9 North Carolina. FDU, which finished the season ranked 20th in the final NSCAA poll, has posted six of the NEC’s eight all-time wins in NCAA men’s soccer competition. Arguably the most dominant women’s bowling program of the last decade, Fairleigh Dickinson qualified for the NCAA Championship for the ninth time in ten years and reached the quarterfinals. FDU is a two-time national champion in the sport and has advanced to the national semis on eight occasions. Incredibly, every member of the 2013 NEC women’s bowling tourney field ranked in the NTCA Top-20 in 2012-13. The NEC also produced five NTCA All-Americans this past season, including FDU’s Danielle McEwan, who was named the NTCA Division I Player of the Year for the second consecutive year It was a historic season for Bryant baseball. The Bulldogs not only won a league-record 45 games and the NEC Tournament crown in their first year of eligibility, but also became the first NEC team to win an NCAA Tournament game with a 4-1 victory over SEC power Arkansas in the opener of the Manhattan, KS Regional. Bryant won 19 straight games at one point, the longest win streak in the nation last season. The Bulldogs also

the northeast conference achieved their first national ranking in April, and became the first Northeast team ranked nationally since the 2011 season. It was a year of firsts for CCSU softball. The Blue Devils won their first NEC Tournament in May, then claimed their first NCAA Tournament victory with a 9-1 win over Northwestern St. in the Baton Rouge regional. Bryant’s men’s lacrosse became the first in school history to qualify for the NCAA Tournament at the DI level, defeating Robert Morris, 14-7, in the conference final in Smithfield, RI. The Bulldogs, who finished the year ranked 20th nationally, batted top-seeded Syracuse evenly through the first two quarters in NCAA first round play, before succumbing, 12-7, in front of a national audience on ESPNU. Bryant’s Kevin Massa enjoyed a historical year, setting new NCAA single-season marks for faceoff wins, ground balls and ground balls per game. In the NCAA first round against Syracuse, he won an astounding 22-of-23 at the faceoff X. Fairleigh Dickinson swept the NEC men’s and women’s tennis titles for the second straight season last April. In the first round of the NCAA Tournament, FDU’s Arvis Berzins became just the second player in NEC history to win a set in NCAA competition, beating No. 3 ranked Jarmere Jenkins of Virginia in the first set by a 6-3 score. Scintillating Saint Francis U junior forward Tesa McKibben became the first three-time NEC Women’s Soccer Player of the Year. She ranked in the top-five nationally in points per game, goals per game and game-winning goals. CCSU men’s cross country and Saint Francis U women’s swimming and diving both won their fourth straight NEC championships. Achieving All-American status in their respective sports during the 2012-13 academic year were Bryant’s Kevin Brown (baseball), Jordan Harris (football) and Kevin Massa (lacrosse), FDU’s Danielle McEwan (bowling) and Liat Vizenfeld (bowling), LIU Brooklyn’s Brendon Rodney (men’s indoor track and field), Robert Morris’ Nolan Nearhoof (football), Sacred Heart’s Jackie Carbonetto (bowling) and Marcello Castro (soccer), Adelphi’s Samantha Morlack (bowling), Duquesne’s Doran Bell (football), NJCU’s Kelly Daunno (bowling) and Rider’s Sandra Penas (field hockey).

Sacred Heart’s John Murphy (sixth round, Yankees), Wagner’s Ian Miller (14th, Mariners), LIU Brooklyn’s Justin Topa (17th, Pirates), and Bryant’s Kevin Brown (22nd, Cubs), Joe Michaud (33rd, Athletics) and Peter Kelich (38th, Padres) were all taken in the 2013 MLB Draft. The NEC announced its third Hall of Fame class in January, 2013. The three-member class was comprised of Fairleigh Dickinson men’s basketball player Desi Wilson, Mount St. Mary’s women’s basketball player Vanessa Blair and longtime Sacred Heart Executive Director of Athletics Don Cook.
On Campus & In The Community The NEC welcomed the class of 2016 to campus last summer as part of its annual outreach program designed to raise awareness and develop the league’s growing fan base. Over 10,000 freshman students were introduced to the Conference with a promotional gift bag and informative NEC Fan Guide. The NEC, its member institutions and student-athletes have made community involvement an important piece of its mission. In 2012-13, the NEC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) were instrumental in spearheading Hurricane Sandy relief efforts in their communities and met in New York City during the holiday season to donate toys to the Toys for Tots program. The SAAC also participated in a “Penny Wars” fundraiser for a fourth straight year that resulted in a significant donation to the Cancer Recovery Foundation. To assist in raising breast cancer awareness, NEC women’s volleyball teams supported “Dig Pink” and women’s basketball teams participated in the WBCA’s “Pink Zone” promotion. For the third straight year, Sacred Heart was awarded the NEC Building Communities award. The award recognizes the institution that demonstrates the highest dedication to making an impact in the community through the efforts of its student-athletes, coaches and administrators. Over the course of the 2012-13 academic year, Sacred Heart donated over 8,100 hours of community service. In total, Conference members logged over 20,000 hours of community service. Commitment to Sportsmanship The NEC continued its participation in the NCAA’s Respect Campaign, an effort to promote an environment of respect and integrity at Conference events. The NEC Team Sportsmanship Award program recognized those teams and student-athletes who adhere to the principles of sportsmanship and pursue victory with honor. Saint Francis U finished the year with a league-high five NEC Team Sportsmanship awards. The Red Flash have led the NEC in sportsmanship honors in each of the five years since the program was instituted in 2008-09. What’s Next? The NEC opened the 2013-14 academic year by introducing a modernized version of its primary and secondary marks, giving the Conference a fresh, yet familiar look moving forward.In recent years, the NEC has taken aim at elevating the brand awareness of the league, elevating the caliber of its championship events and enhancing the opportunities and experiences for student-athletes that compete in the Conference.

With this long-term upgrade, highlights from Front Row broadcasts can be fed to local news stations, regional sports networks and ESPN (SportsCenter Top-10), or used during NEC-TV games. The equipment will also come bundled with an HD replay system to be implemented for the 2013-14 basketball season.

Beginning in the fall of 2013, the NEC’s online digital network will also have its own iPhone/iPad application that can be downloaded at no cost. Live and ondemand events will also be free of charge, and fans can take part in the conversation through the app’s built-in social media capabilities.
BUFFALO STATE (1-0-0) 1981.........................59-7
The NEC has raised its commitment to basketball through a host of strategic initiatives, most notably via a Brand and Basketball Enhancement fund, revised scheduling parameters and the implementation of state-of-the-art LED signage at all arenas. The NEC has also provided each institution with a basketball marketing grant that resulted in the highest attendance on the men’s side in 15 years and the highest per-game average in women’s basketball history last season.
Coming off the success of its #NECPride, Moon Magic documentary short, the NEC also plans to go back and revisit some of the greatest teams, student-athletes and moments that have shaped the league’s history, all under the #NECPride film banner.

Florida Atlantic 7, Wagner 3 August 31, 2012
Boca Raton, FL - Wagner delivered a staunch defensive effort and redshirt junior running back Dominique Williams (Bridgeton, NJ/ Bridgeton) ran for 117 yards but it was not enough as Florida Atlantic escaped with a 7-3 victory in the 2012 season opener for both teams in a game that was streamed live on ESPN 3. Wagner, which led 3-0 after three quarters before the Owls struck for an early fourth-quarter score, was playing its first-ever FBS opponent. After missing wide right on a earlier 43-yard field goal try, senior kicker David Lopez (Plantation, Fl / American Heritage) gave the Seahawks a 3-0 lead by converting on a 39-yard field goal with 11:13 remaining in the opening half. The field goal capped a crisp five-play, 60-yard drive, the Seahawks’ longest of the evening, a 6:52 march that spanned the first and second quarters. The drive was helped by a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty on the Owls and was keyed by a gutsy 16-yard strike from senior quarterback Nick Doscher (Staten Island, NY/ Moore Catholic) to sophomore wide receiver Anthony Carrington (Toms River, NJ/ Toms River North) on a fourth-and-two from the FAU 35-yard line which gave the Green & White a first down at the Owls’ 10-yard line. However, Doscher was sacked for a one-yard loss on second and 7, which was followed by a four-yard run by Williams on third-and-eight. Facing fourth-and-four at the Owl 13, Lopez was then called on and he came through. The teams then traded punts but Wagner received a golden break on theirs when the highly-lofted boot from redshirt sophomore punter A.J. Firestone (Mecersburg, PA/ Mercersburg, Academy) was inadvertently touched by Owl return man Travis Jones, who was trying to get out of the way of the ball. Seahawk redshirt freshman defensive back Adebwale Godwin (Staten Island, NY/ Curtis) recovered the muffed punt, giving Wagner a first-and-goal at the FAU six-yard line with 4:44 left in the opening half. A hurried Doscher threw an incomplete pass on first down before being thrown for a one-yard loss on second down. On third-and-goal from the seven, the Owls turned in one of the biggest plays of the game as D’Juan Smith came up with an interception in the deep right corner of the end zone before being tackled for a touchback. The way the Seahawk defense was playing, a 10-0 lead would have put FAU in a huge hole and, even if Wagner had to settle for a field goal, a 6-0 advantage would have provided the Seahawks with a little more cushion and a lot of momentum heading into halftime. In the second half, Florida Atlantic turned the quarterbacking reigns over to Graham Wilbert, the starter in 2011, in place of Stephen Curtis who the Seahawk defense limited to 4-of-10 passing for 37 yards in the first half. With Wilbert at the controls, the Owls picked up the pace offensively as he completed passes of 14 and nine yards, respectively to lead FAU to the Wagner 22 before the drive stalled on a third-and-10 incompletion. Wagner did make FAU work for its yardage as it took the Owls 12 plays and 5:37 to move the ball 42 yards. The drive resulted in a missed field goal. At the outset of the fourth quarter, Owl running back Maseo Jackson shook loose on a 28-yard scamper to the Seahawk 43. On the next play, Graham found Byron Hankerson over the middle for 28 yards down to the 17-yard line. Following a three-yard keeper from Graham, Mason darted through Box Score (Final) The Automated ScoreBook the middle of the line for five yards where, at the nine-yard line, senior LB WAGNER vs Georgetown (Sep 06, 2012 at WASHINGTON) C.O.Prime (Laval, Quebec/ Montreal) delivered a crunching blow, jarring Score by Quarters 1 2 3 4 Total the ball loose with junior safety Patrick O’Conner (Leominster, MA/ Leomin- WAGNER 7 0 0 3 10 Georgetown 3 0 7 3 13 ster) recovered the ball at the nine.

Following a Firestone 39-yard punt, FAU took over at the Green & White 39. On the very first play from scrimmage, Graham connected with Hankerson on a 39-touchdown delivery to put FAU in front for good at 7-3. Sophomore running back Otis Wright (Fort Lauderdale, NY/ Dillard) was one of 18 Seahawks who made a return to their native state of Florida when Wagner faced FAU. Firestone had a solid evening, averaging 41.6 yards on five punts, including the career-long 51-yarder. Defensively, O’Connor registered 10 tackles while senior defensive back Matthew McGuinness (West Caldwell, NJ/ Caldwell), senior linebacker Mike Lombardo (Jupiter, FL/ Jupiter Christian/ Arkansas St.), and senior linebacker Theodore Clohessy (Staten Island, NY/ St. Joseph by the Sea) had seven tackles apiece. Wagner head coach Walt Hameline was coaching his 331st career game while on the opposite sideline, Carl Pelini was making his head coaching debut.

Georgetown 13, Wagner 10 September 8, 2012
Washington, DC - Georgetown junior kicker Matt MacZura booted a 35-yard field goal with 1:42 left to play which lifted the Hoyas to a defensive-minded 13-10 decision overWagner at steamy, hot and humid Multi-Purpose Field. Senior safety Patrick O’Connor (Leominster, MA/ Leominster) led the hardhitting Seahawk defense with a career-high 13 tackles while senior inside linebacker C.O. Prime (Laval, Quebec/ Montreal) finished with 10 stops. Coming up with seven tackles apiece was a trio of seniors in cornerback Matthew McGuinness (West Caldwell, NJ/ Caldwell), strong safety Sidiq Soulemana (Bronx, NY/ Hudson Valley CC) and inside linebacker Mike Lombardo (Jupiter, FL/ Jupiter Christian/ Arkansas St.). Senior quarterback Nick Doscher (Staten Island, NY/ Moore Catholic) went 10-of-16 passing for 124 yards, after going a perfect 6-for-6 in the first half for 66 yards. Redshirt junior running back Dominique Williams (Bridgeton, NJ/ Milford Academy) was held to less than 100 yards rushing for just the eighth time in his 22-game career, finishing with 66 yards on 22 carries. Fifth-year senior wide receiver David Crawford (Carrollton, TX/ Hebron) led the way for Wagner in the receiving department with six catches for 72 yards.
In a stirring pre-game ceremony, the field at Wagner College Stadium was named after Walt Hameline who is in his 32nd year as athletic director/football coach. One of just eight active Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) coach to win 200 games, he also ranks 16th alltime among FCS coaches and 18th among active NCAA coaches. Hameline has an overall record of 204-125-2 Monmouth took an early 7-0 lead when Frazier run pulled the ball down and out-raced all of the Green-clad shirts down the left sideline for a 16-yard touchdown with 5:03 left in the opening quarter to cap an eight-play, 62 yard drive.
At the game’s outset, Wagner won the coin toss and elected to defer to the second half. After forcing the Hoyas to punt, the Seahawks promptly put together a well-executed 11-play, 66-yard march. The crisp drive culminated in a 12-yard touchdown pass from Doscher to redshirt sophomore tight end Bryant Watts (Burlington, NJ/ Florence) on a third-and-10, to put Wagner on top 7-0 with 5:29 left in the opening quarter.
The Seahawks answered on their ensuing drive with a 29-yard field gol by senior David Lopez (Plantation, FL/ American Heritage). Sophomore running back Otis Wright (Fort Lauderdale, FL/ Dillard) gave Wagner excellent starting field position with a 25-yard return up the middle to the Seahawk 41 yard line.
Doscher also began the drive with a 12-yard gain, this one being a rush as he rolled to his right before tucking the ball under. On second-and-three from the Hoya 47, Doscher picked up the first down on a twisting seven-yard run up the middle. The Seahawks then put the ball into the hands of Williams four straight times which brought about a first-and-10 at the Hoya 12. After two Doscher runs netted zero yards, the savvy veteran rolled to his right and found his big tight end Watts at the three-yard line and the 6-5, 260-pounder dove into the end zone from there yards out. For Watts, it was the first touchdown reception of his career and for Doscher it was his 32nd career touchdown pass. Doscher is fourth on the all-time Seahawk list as he trails Aaron Smith (1999-2001) who is in third place with 38 career TD passes.
The Hawks countered with a quick-strike five-play, 64-yard drive as Frazier hit WR Tristan Roberts on a 19-yard touchdown pass with nine seconds remaining in the opening quarter to open a 14-3 cushion. After the Monmouth defense forced Wagner into a three-and-out, Monmouth went on the march again, putting together a six-play 41-yard drive with running back K.B. Asante plowing in from thee yards out as the Hawks built a commanding 21-3 lead with 10:31 to go in the half.
The Hoyas returned the kickoff to their own 24 before embarking on a 19-play, 72 yard drive that resulted in a 21-yard field goal by Matt MacZura. It appeared Georgetown was bent on tying the game after a two-yard by running back Nick Campanella gave the Hoyas a first-and-goal at the Seahawk three. O’Connor stuffed quarterback Aaron Aiken on first down for a one-yard gain. On second-and-goal, Campanella was stonewalled for a two-yard loss by the combination of junior defensive end Davon Johnson (Baltimore, MD/ ASA College) and redshirt freshman linebacker Tim Bristol (Baltimore, MD/ Hereford). Facing third-and-goal from the Seahawk five, a hurried Aiken threw incomplete which brought on the kicker MacZura who drilled the 21-yarder with nine seconds left in the first quarter to make it 7-3. Early in the second quarter, Georgetown defensive back Richard Shankle stripped the ball from Crawford recovered it at the Seahawk 43. Aiken hit wide receiver Max Walzenneger for 21 yards to the Wagner 22 on first down. On the next play, Wagner thought it had itself a chance to take a 14-3 lead. After the Hoyas worked the ball down to a first-and-goal situation at the one, for the second time in the game, the Green & White came up with a big goal-line stand. After three rushes netted minus three yards, Georgetown elected to go for it on fourth-and-goal from the four but Aiken fumbled as the jubilant Box Score (Final) The Automated ScoreBook Seahawks defense raced off the field. WAGNER vs Georgetown (Sep 06, 2012 at WASHINGTON) The Seahawks maintained their 7-3 through halftime and well into the third quarter before the game turned on a key sequence. Facing fourth-and-four at the Wagner 48 with inside of five minutes remaining in the third, Georgetown was forced to punt. MacZura, who doubles as Wagner’s punter, lofted a high-arching punt which was batted out of bounds by Dustin Wharton at the three-yard line. Backed up near its own goal line, Wagner went three-and-out as Doscher’s third-and-seven pass sailed incomplete. Georgetown’s Kevin Macari then fielded a 41-yard punt by redshirt sophomore A.J. Firestone (Mercersburg, PA/ Mercersburg/ Penn St.) at the Wagner 45, angled to his right before picking up a few blocks in weaving his way to the Seahawk 12-yard line. After Aiken misfired on first down, he dropped backed to pass on second down before taking off on a 12-yard touchdown scamper with 2:26 to play in the third quarter, giving Georgetown a 10-7 lead.Wagner answered with a nine-play, 42-yard field goal drive highlighted by a gorgeous 19-yard thirdquarter catch by Crawford as the outstretched 6-4, 215-pounder made a leaping grab of a well-placed Doscher pass along the left sideline. On thirdand-two from the Hoya 27, Williams was stopped for no gain and Wagner turned to senior kicker David Lopez (Plantation, FL/ American Heritage), who drilled a 44-yard field goal with 5:19 remaining in the game to knot the score at 10-10.

But a key personal foul penalty on the Seahawks extended the drive, giving the Hoyas a first down at the Wagner 38 with 3:44 left.

Wagner 31, Central Connecticut 13 September 22, 2012 New Britain, CT - Junior running back Dominique Williams (Bridgeton, NJ/ Milford Academy) rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns while senior quarterback Nick Doscher (Staten Island, NY/ Moore Catholic) added 65 yards on 11 carries to lead Wagner to a convincing 31-13 road victory over Central Connecticut in Northeast Conference (NEC) play.
Wagner 31, Bryant 21 September 29, 2012
Staten Island, NY - Senior quarterback Nick Doscher (Staten Island, NY/ Moore Catholic) completed 16-of-26 passes for 246 yards and two touchdowns while junior running back Dominique Williams ran for 106 yards on 15 carries and added another 61 yards receiving to lead Wagner past Bryant 31-21.
In notching their first victory of the 2012 season, the Seahawks improve to 1-3 on the season while evening their NEC record at 1-1. The Blue Devils, meanwhile, remain winless in falling to 0-4 overall, 0-2 in league play.
Fresh on the heels of last week’s 31-13 win at Central Connecticut, the Seahawks improve to 2-3 on the season, 2-1 in Northeast Conference (NEC) play. Bryant falls to 0-5 overall, 0-3 in league play.
After being held below 100 yards rushing in consecutive losses to Georgetown (9/8) and Monmouth (9/15), Williams and the Seahawk offensive line returned to form as the 5-9, 200-pound speedster eclipsed the century mark for the 14th time in 23 games.
Wagner was leading 24-21 late in the fourth quarter and had the ball near midfield when Williams delivered an extraordinary 29-yard run that will keep Seahawk Nation buzzing for quite some time. The play was highlighted by the explosive 5-9, 200-pound Williams leaping over a Bryant defender, before steam-rolling another would-be tackler.
Senior linebacker C.O. Prime (Laval, Quebec/ Ontario), senior strong safety Sidiq Soulemana (Bronx, NY/ Hudson Valley CC) and senior linebacker Theodore Clohessy (Staten Island, NY/ St. Joseph By the Sea) led the defensive charge with 10 tackles apiece with Soulemana and Clohessy adding an interception and a sack, respectively. Yet another senior, placekicker David Lopez (Plantation, FL/ American Heritage) also made his mark by booting a 51-yard field goal as time expired in the first half to extend Wagner’s lead to 10-6 Wagner outgained Central Connecticut 383-330, including a 271-165 advantage on the ground. The Seahawks got on the board first when Doscher capped a nine-play, 58-yard drive by scrambling over the right side, absorbing a bit hit in the process, in finishing a three-yard touchdown run with 2:49 left in the first half. The game’s first scoring drive began on the Seahawk 42 which is where sophomore cornerback Jarrett Dieudonne (Fort Lauderdale/ Dillard) and freshman linebacker Stephon Font-Toomer (Bethlehem, PA/ Liberty) surged into the backfield to combine on a hit on RB Rob Hollomon for a loss of one yard on fourth-and-three. The big defensive play was the second fourth-down stop made by the Seahawk defense in as many possessions. One possession earlier, sophomore DB Anthony Emmanuele (DePew, NY/ DePew) and Clohessy got penetration and stoned CCSU quarterback Andrew Clements for no gain on fourth-and-two at the Wagner 22 after CCSU head coach Jeff McInerney eschewed a 39-yard field goal attempt. Following Doscher’s touchdown, the Blue Devils quickly answered when Clements hit WR Deven Williams on a 38-yard bullet over the middle on the first play of the ensuing drive, giving CCSU a first down at the Wagner 38. Three plays later, Clements found WR Anthony Julbes on a 17-yard score. Okoye then got a paw on Juan Duque’s extra-point try as Wagner clung to a 7-6 lead. That’s the way the score stood until Wagner took over on downs at its own 30 with 49 seconds left in the half. Doscher hit fifth-year senior WR David Crawford (Carrollton, TX/ Hebron) on a 24-yard on the first play of the drive. Facing fourth-and-three at the Blue Devil 39, the Seahawks called a timeout to set up a short dart from Doscher to sophomore TE Bryant Watts (Burlington, NJ/ Florence) for a first down at the Blue Devil 34. With three seconds to go in the half, after each team called a time out, senior placekicker David Lopez (Plantation, FL/ Heritage) calmly drilled a 51-yard field goal, the second-longest of his career, to give Wagner a 10-6 halftime lead. Wagner extended that lead on a Wright 27-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter as the 5-10, 180-pounder shed multiple would-be tacklers. Wright’s hard-charging score put a cap on a well-executed 10-play, 75-yard march. Williams built the lead to 24-6 later in the third quarter with a two-yard TD run. Clements cut the Seahawks’ advantage to 24-13 with a two-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter but Williams dashed any hope for a home team comeback less than two minutes later when he took off on a 37-yard dash to paydirt to make it a 31-13 score.

The memorable highlight reel run gave the Green & White a first down at the Bryant 20. Two plays later, Doscher scampered his way for a 19yard touchdown to put the Seahawks up 31-21 with less 90 seconds to play. After a defensive-minded first half resulted in a 7-7 deadlock at intermission, things began heating up in the second half. A 39-yard field goal by senior kicker David Lopez (Plantation, FL/ American Heritage) put Wagner on top 10-7 at 10:38 of the third quarter. The Bulldogs, however, answered with a 45-yard kickoff return and then, on the first play of the drive, quarterback Mike Westerhaus found wide receiver Jordan Harris along the left sideline for a 54-yard touchdown with 10:37 remaining in the quarter to give Bryant a 14-10 lead. After a Wagner three and out and ensuing punt, Bryant took over at its own 43. The Bulldogs moved the ball to the Seahawk 49 and appeared bent, at this point, on taking the game over. Seahawk sophomore cornerback Jarrett Dieudonne (Fort Lauderdale, FL/ Dillard/ Purdue), however, had other ideas. The 6-1, 195-pound Dieudonne turned in a game-changing play, picking off a Westerhaus second-and-13 pass at the Wagner 34 and returning it 16 yards to midfield. On third-and-nine from the Bryant 49, Doscher hit sophomore tight end Bryant Watts (Burlington, NJ/ Florence) over the middle for a 30-yard gain down to the Bulldog 19. Three plays later, Doscher found Watts in the left corner of the end zone for a 17-14 Wagner lead with 2:36 to go in the quarter. The score marked the fourth lead change of the game and gave the Seahawks the lead for good. With momentum and the loud crowd of 2,037on its side, the Seahawk defense rose to the occasion, forcing Bryant to punt when Westhaus was hurried by redshirt freshman defensive back James Howell (Brooklyn, NY/ Fort Hamilton) and threw incomplete on third-and-five. Following the Bryant punt, a five-yard run by redshirt freshman running back Ralph Greene (Tigard, OR/ Tigard), and a Doscher incompletion brought about third-and-five from the Seahawk 30. Doscher then stepped up and found sophomore Anthony Carrington (Toms River, NJ/ Toms River South) all alone at the Bulldog 30 and the smooth-gliding wide receiver did the rest with his legs as the play went for a 70-yard touchdown. The Doscher to Carrington hook-up gave Wagner 14 points in a span of 2:30 and, more importantly, a 24-14 lead at the 1:03 mark of the third quarter. The resilient Bulldogs responded with a nine-play, 69-yard drive in 3:54 that was capped by a one-yard touchdown run by Jordan Brown which made it a 24-21 game. The scoring march was kick-started by a 23-yard strike from Westhaus to wide receiver Jordan Harris on the drive’s first play. Wagner then chewed off 6:42 on its next drive before stalling at the Bulldog 34. Lopez then came on to try a 52-yard field goal but his attempt was blocked by Jeremy Woodson. At this point, the Bulldogs had life, trailing just 24-21, when they took over at their own 39 with just over six minutes to play.

Fairfield, CT – Junior running back Dominique Williams (Bridgeton, NJ/ Milford Academy) burst free for a career-long 81-yard first-quarter touchdown, later added a two-yard touchdown run en route to a 20-carry, 122-yard effort and the Wagner defense did the rest as the surging Seahawks made it three wins in a row with a 12-3 Northeast Conference (NEC) victory at Sacred Heart.
LORETTO, PA - Senior quarterback Nick Doscher (Staten Island, NY/ Moore Catholic) was an efficient 12-of-17 passing for 163 yards and three touchdowns, junior running back Dominique Williams (Bridgeton, NJ/ Milford Academy) added 93 on 19 carries and the Seahawks never trailed in posting their fourth consecutive win by a 31-24 count over Saint Francis (PA).
Wagtner 12, Sacred Heart 3 October 6, 2013
In posting their first road win over the Pioneers since 1998, the Seahawks improve to 3-1 in the NEC and into sole possession of third place in the league standings while evening their overall record at 3-3. Sacred Heart, meanwhile, falls to 1-4 overall, 1-2 in conference play. Williams cracked the 100-yard plateau for the fourth time this season, out of six games, and 16th time in his 25-game Seahawk career. He remains in fifth place on the Seahawk all-time rushing list with 2,559 rushing yards. Next on the list in fourth place is Kito Lockwood, who amassed 3,156 yards from 199295. His 81-yard run surpassed his previous career-long dash of 79 yards vs. Robert Morris on November 12, 2011.
By winning its fourth straight NEC game, Wagner, a charter member of the NEC Football Conference which was formed in 1996, will now gun for its firstever five-game conference winning streak. The quest for this milestone will take place on Saturday, October 27 vs. Robert Morris on Homecoming Day. Kickoff at Hameline Field at Wagner College Stadium is set for 1:00 pm. The current four-game winning streak is Wagner’s second four-game skein in its 19-year NEC football history. Wagner also accomplished this feat in 2009 and has, on four occasions, put together three-game NEC winning streaks; in 2000, 2002, 2007 and 2011.
Senior quarterback Nick Doscher (Staten Island, NY/ Moore Catholic) was a force on the ground all afternoon, grossing 83 yards (netting 53 yards) on 18 carries. But the Pioneers did a nice job limiting the Seahawk passing game as Doscher finished 6-of-13 passing for 82 yards and was sacked five times for minus 30 yards in losses.
Saint Francis received a productive day from quarterback John Kelly, a mobile signal-caller in the same mold as Doscher, who rang up 157 yards through the air while adding 109 yards on the ground . Wagner handed the Red Flash their first loss of the season at DeGol Field and their first Nov. 5, 2011 when Saint Francis fell to Monmouth 48-45.
Doscher’s 53-yard day on the ground moved him into the top 10 on the Wagner all-time rushing list with 1,945 career yards. He needs 29 yards to move into ninth place ahead of John Campbell (1998-2001) who gained 1,973 yards during his career. Defensively, Wagner was paced by a quarter of seniors in cornerback Torian Phillips (Staten Island, NY/ Port Richmond/ Syracuse) and linebacker Mike Lombardo (Jupiter, FL/ Jupiter Christian/ Arkansas St.), who led with eight tackles apiece, while strong safety Sidiq Soulemana (Bronx, NY/ DeWitt Clinton/ Hudson Valley CC) and linebacker C.O. Prime (Laval, Quebec, The Kent School) added six tackles each.
Defensively for Wagner, the Seahawks were led by the play of five seniors who recorded seven tackles or more. Strong safety Sidiq Soulemana (Bronx, NY/ Hudson Valley CC) led the way with 12 tackles, including four solo stops while linebacker C.O. Prime (Laval, Quebec/ The Kent School) and defensive end Jerome Williams (Burlington, NJ/ Holy Cross/ UConn) had nine and eight tackles, respectively. Finishing with seven tackles apiece were free safety Patrick O’Connor (Leominster, MA/ Leominster) and Torian Phillips (Staten Island, NY/ Port Richmond/ Syracuse).
The Seahawk defense harassed SHU QB Tim Little into an 8-for-20 passing day for 67 yards. Running back Keshaudas Spence paced the Pioneers on the ground with 72 yards on 12 carries. Wagner out-gained SHU 288-214, enjoying a 206-147 advantage on the ground.The fast and aggressive Seahawk defense, which entered today’s contest ranked No. 1 in the NEC in scoring defense, allowing 18.4 points per game, lowered that average to 15.8 points per outing. Wagner’s defense also entered the game ranked second in pass defense (170.4 yards per game) and reduced that figure to 153.2, and second in total defense (353.8), which now stands at 318 after holding the Pioneers to 214 yards. The three points allowed by Wagner are the least allowed since November 3, 2007 when the Seahawks blanked La Salle 28-0 on Grymes Hill and the least allowed to an NEC foe since a 7-0 win at Saint Francis (PA) on October 19, 2003. Sacred Heart, meanwhile, was held to its lowest point total since the 2010 season when the Pioneers were shut out at Saint Francis (PA), 41-0. It was the fewest points scored at home by the Pioneers in a loss since the 1998 season when SHU fell 24-3 to Iona. Neither team could muster any sustained offense at the outset of the game. After Wagner won the toss and deferred, SHU managed one first down before having to punt. The Seahawks then went three-and-out on its opening drive, resulting in a punt before the Seahawks defense returned the favor, forcBox Score (Final) The Automated ScoreBook ing a second Pioneer punt. It was at this point when Williams struck, taking a WAGNER vs Sacred Heart (Oct 06, 2012 at Fairfield, CT) first down handoff and rumbling 81 yards to paydirt. The extra point try by senior Score by Quarters 1 2 3 4 Total David Lopez (Plantation, FL/ American Heritage) was blocked, leaving Wagner WAGNER 6 6 0 0 12 Sacred Heart 0 0 3 0 3 in front 6-0. The teams exchanged punts once again with Wagner taking over at its own 38 with 28 seconds left in the first quarter. After the teams changed sides of the field to open the second quarter, Doscher went to work on the next play, connecting with senior wide receiver Cody Morgan (Boston, MA / Boston College HS/ yracuse/Milford Academy) on a 25-yard completion to the Pioneer 34. Two rushes for 10 yards by Williams, a two-yard Doscher run and a five-yard pickup by redshirt freshman Ralph Greene (Tigard, OR/ Tigard) brought about a third-and-five from the SHU 17. The reigning NEC Offensive Player of the Week then broke SHU’s back as Doscher took off on a 14-yard scramble down to the three. A plunge by sophomore fullback Patrick Gibbons (Carthage, NY/ Milford Academy), sandwiched around two Doscher runs, netted just one yard and left the Green & White facing a fourth-and-goal from the two. The Seahawks then called timeout at the 10:00 mark of the half to discuss strategy. Following the timeout, head coach Walt Hameline elected to forego a field goal attempt and sent his offensive unit on the field. In turn, the Seahawk offense rewarded their coach’s faith as Williams barreled into the end zone to make it a 12-0 game. Lopez’ extra-point try was no good, however, leaving it a 12-0 game. The final scoring drive by either team began when sophomore punter A.J. Firestone’s 33-yard punt angled out of bounds at the SHU 7. From there, quarterback Tim Little engineered an 18-play, 90-yard drive that elapsed 9:31 off the clock and resulted in a 20-yard field goal by Chris Rogers.

Saint Francis had the ball with 4:28 remaining in regulation and down by just a 31-24 count. But on a critical third-and-seven play, blitzing senior linebacker Theodore Clohessy (Staten Island, NY/ St. Joseph By the Sea) turned in the defensive play of the game, sacking Kelly for an 11-yard loss, forcing the Red Flash to punt on fourth and 18, Following the punt, Doscher shook loose on a 12-yard first-down run which sealed the win as it allowed the Seahawks to run out the clock. While Wagner was in control all afternoon, the feisty Red Flash answered nearly all of the salvos delivered by the Green & White. Wagner jumped on top 7-0 when an 18-yard pass from Doscher to sophomore wide receiver Anthony Carrington (Toms River, NJ/ Toms River South) keyed an 11play, 69-yard drive that resulted in a 10-yard Williams touchdown jaunt. Following an exchange of punts, Saint Francis (PA) tied it at 7-7 when quarterback John Kelly hit wide receiver A.J. Alexander on a 60-yard score. Wagner struck back quickly, buoyed by a 61-yard kickoff return by sophomore Otis Wright (Fort Lauderdale, FL/ Dillard). Originally, the Seahawks were set to take over on their own 15 but an offside penalty on the Red Flash forced a re-kick and Wright, who entered the game ranked seventh in the nation in kickoff return yard average (30.2) and tops in the NEC, took advantage. Wright’s return gave the Seahawks a first down at the Red Flash 28 and Wagner went up top on first down with Doscher hitting senior wide receiver David Crawford (Carrollton, TX/ Hebron) on the first play of the drive, 28-yarder, to make it 14-7. Senior kicker David Lopez (Plantation, FL/ Heritage) would later nail a 34-yard field goal with 1:37 go in half to extend the Seahawk lead to 17-7. Saint Francis, with Kelly executing the two-minute drill to perfect, quickly moved down the field to set up a Josh Thiel 43-yard field goal as time expired in the half to make it a 17-10 lead at halftime. The Green & White came out of the gate hitting on all cylinders in half number two, as Doscher led a crisp seven-play, 73-yard march that he capped by hitting a wide open Williams in the left flat for a touchdown and a 24-10 lead. Once again, Wright was in the middle of the action, this time bursting free on a 31-yard run down to the six which set up the Doscher to Williams score. Undaunted, the Red Flash put together a 10-play, 77-yard drive as Keion Wade finished it off with 6:50 left in the third quarter with a 12-yard TD scamper to make it 24-17. The game’s back and forth nature continued as Wagner responded with its longest drive of the season, a mammoth nine-play, 90-yard march that took 5:39 off the clock and resulted in an 12-yard touchdown pass from Doscher to senior wide receiver Darnell Sapps (Syracuse, NY/ Corcoran). In hauling in the first TD of his career, Sapps gave Wagner a 31-17 lead with 1:06 to go in the third. Highlights in the drive included a 20-yard Williams reception followed later by by a 28-yard grab by Crawford. Junior wide receiver Cody Morgan (Boston, MA/ Boston College HS) also got into the act, catching a nineyard pass over the middle, in traffic, on third-and-five from the Saint Francis 25, which kept the drive alive and made it first and- 10 at the 16.

2012 game summarieS GAME 8 Wagner 23, Robert Morris 13 October 27, 2013 Staten Island, NY - Senior quarterback Nick Doscher (Staten Island, NY/ Moore Catholic) completed 12-of-17 passes for 228 yards, junior running back Dominique Williams (Bridgeton, NJ/ Milford Academy) rushed for 112 yards on 23 carries and senior linebacker Mike Lombardo (Jupiter, FL/ Jupiter Christian) led a fierce defensive effort with nine tackles, to lead Wagner to a 2313 Homecoming Day win over Robert Morris. Wagner’s five-game winning streak is the longest overall since 1994 and sets up a showdown with Albany on Saturday, November 3 at 1:00 pm. The Great Danes, traditional NEC kingpins, survived as scare from Sacred Heart before pulling out a 23-20 victory. Sophomore sensation Otis Wright (Fort Lauderdale, FL/ Dillard) set the tone early in this one, returning the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown. For Wright, who entered the game ranked third in the nation in kickoff return average (31.57), it marked the second kickoff he has taken back all the way this season. On September 15, the 5-10, 180-pound blazer, had an 89-yard kickoff return for a touchdown vs. Monmouth. As a team, Wagner entered the game ranked number one in the nation in kickoff returns (28.19). The Seahawks would build the lead to 13-0 at the half on a pair of field goals by senior kicker David Lopez (Plantation, FL/ Heritage), the first a 32-yarder with 13:20 left in the half made it 10-0 and the latter, a 33-yard boot as time expired in the opening half, gave Wagner the 13-0 bulge and momentum at intermission. Midway through the third quarter, Wagner took over backed up against their own 11-yard line following a 44-yard Tony Mancusa punt. Williams immediately got the Seahawks out of the hole with an 11-yard burst. The play set up a methodical, well-executed and time-consuming 17-play, 89-yard drive that was capped by a Doscher one-yard TD plunge. The 9:33 march provided Wagner with a commanding 20-0 edge. On the very first play of the ensuing drive, Seahawk sophomore cornerback Jarrett Dieudonne (Fort Lauderdale, FL/ Dillard/ Purdue) picked off RMU quarterback Jeff Sinclair, near midfield and returned it 26 yards to the Colonials’ 26. The big defensive play led to a 27-yard Lopez field goal to make it 23-0 with 10:41 left. Robert Morris would tack on 13 points on a pair of Sinclair TD passes and did recover an onsides kick in the waning minutes. But the Seahawk defense stiffened as Wagner went on to its fifth straight victory. Annually at Homecoming, two Wagner College football players are selected to receive special awards for outstanding play. The James Robb Memorial Trophy is presented to the outstanding offensive player, while the Nick Lia Memorial Trophy is awarded to the Seahawks’ outstanding defensive player. Established in 1949, the Robb Trophy was named in memory of James Robb who was killed in action during World War II. In 1969, the Lia Trophy was introduced in honor of another Wagner football player, Nick Lia, who was killed in action during the Vietnam War. This year’s Robb Offensive Player of the game trophy went to Doscher for the second time in his career as he took home the award as a freshman in 2009. The Lia Defensive Player of the Game trophy went to Lombardo, who paced the Seahawk defense with a team-high nine tackles. For the Floridian, it marked the second consecutive season he has copped the award.

Wagner 30, No. Albany 0 November 3, 2012
Albany, NY - In one of the most impressive and potentially significant victories in school history, Wagner dominated Albany in all phases en route to posting its sixth straight win, a convincing 30-0 victory that lifts the Seahawks into first place in the Northeast Conference (NEC). In posting a result that’s sure to raise eyebrows coast to coast, the Seahawks improve to 6-3 on the season, 6-1 in the NEC, while the Great Danes fall to 7-2, 5-1 in conference play. With the victory, Wagner now controls its own fate. Senior quarterback Nick Doscher (Staten Island, NY/ Moore Catholic) completed 10-of-15 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns, including an 88-yarder to sophomore wide receiver Anthony Carrington (Toms River, NJ/ Toms River) while junior running back Dominique Williams (Bridgeton, NJ/ Milford Academy) motored for 103 yards on 25 hard-fought carries as Wagner raced out to a commanding 27-0 halftime lead en route to the win. For Williams, it marked the 18th time in his 28-game Seahawk career, that he has passed the century mark. The Seahawks’ defense, ranked No. 1 in the NEC, did the rest in securing the shutout while limiting Albany to just 188 total yards. The Wagner defensive performance is even more impressive in light of the fact that the Great Danes came in averaging an NEC-best 34.2 points per game. That Wagner was able to put on such a grandiose performance despite enduring a difficult week of preparation is a credit to the all of the student-athletes and coaches in the program.On Oct. 29, Hurricane Sandy ravaged the Staten Island community, leaving the college without electricity for five days, and forcing the school’s closure an entire week. The Wagner College campus was evacuated last Sunday, one day before the hurricane roared in, and players reconvened on Tuesday. What awaited them was a quiet, desolate pitch dark at night campus, plenty of cold showers and just four days to prepare to play the NEC’s only undefeated team, on the road no less. The Wagner defense set the tone early, forcing a three-and-out on the game’s first possession which led to a 10-yard punt into a stiff breeze. Taking over at the Albany 39, it took Wagner just four plays and 2:03 to take the early 7-0 lead. A 27-yard third-down completion from Doscher to junior TE Joe Sidaras (Mastic Beach, NY/ William Floyd) keyed the drive and Williams finished it off with an 11-yard TD jaunt. After Wagner forced another three-and-out, the Seahawks took over at their 30 and, with great precision, marched 70 yards in 10 plays, a drive that was capped when Doscher found his tight end Sidaras open deep in the Albany end zone to make it 14-0. Early in the second quarter, Doscher hit a wide open Carrington in stride on the 88-yard TD hookup. A failed PAT attempt left Wagner in front by a 20-0 count. The Green & White then put together their second sustained drive of the half, covering 72 yards in 12 plays, consuming 7:05 off the clock in taking a 27-0 halftime lead on a seven-yard TD run by Williams with 3:28 left before intermission. Senior kicker David Lopez (Plantation, FL/ American Heritage) then capped the day’s scoring by drilling a 40-yard third-quarter field goal. “First off, I’d like to recognize the many people here at Wagner College that put forth such a tremendous effort in helping to organize and coordinate things so that we had an opportunity to practice and get the things done that we needed to in order to prepare for such a quality opponent,” said Seahawk head coach Walt Hameline. “Everyone on campus, from our President, Dr. Richard Guarasci on down, stepped forward and supported us and it was nice to come back home with a big win.” “As for the game, I think our kids knew what they were getting into. They knew there was a big game coming up, one that we were excited about, and one in which we knew we had to play really well,” Hameline continued. “The coaches and players did a great job all week and right on through the game. Today, we won all three aspects of the game. I thought a key was when we had the wind with us early in the game to put points up right away. At the end of the day, to get a shutout against a really fine football team, that’s a great credit to our kids and coaches.” The final team statistics were as one-sided as 30-0 final score as Wagner held a major edge in total yards (413-188), rushing yards (160-85), and passing yards (253-103). The Seahawks demoralized Albany all day by going a staggering 12-of-18 on third-down conversions. Playing yet another turnover-free game and converting on so many third down led to an overwhelming 39:02-20:58 Seahawk advantage in time of possession. Senior linebacker C.O. Prime (Laval, Quebec/ Montreal, Canada) led the Seahawk defense with six tackles, while senior linebacker Mike Lombardo (Jupiter, FL/ Jupiter Christian), sophomore cornerback Jarrett Dieudonne (Fort Lauderdale, FL/ Dillard), senior strong safety Sidiq Soulemana (Bronx, NY/DeWitt Clinton/Hudson Valley CC and senior LB Mike Milone (Ho Ho Kus, NJ/ Northern Highlands) had four tackles apiece. Dieudonne also had a team-high three pass breakups and one sack. Albany played without star senior tailback Drew Smith, the nation’s secondleading scorer, who was suspended one game for a violation of team rules. Sophomore Omar Osbourne gained the start and led the Great Danes with 51 yards on 12 carries.

Staten Island, NY - Junior Dominique Williams (Bridgeton, NJ / Bridgeton / Milford Academy) ran for a season-high 177 yards to go along with a pair of touchdowns, while senior Nick Doscher (Staten Island, NY / Moore Catholic) threw three touchdowns, including two over the final 7:09, in lifting Wagner to a scintillating, come-from-behind, 31-30 victory over Holy Cross at Hameline Field.
Staten Island, NY - The Wagner Seahawks completed their dream regular season, coming from behind to win their eighth consecutive game in dramatic fashion, knocking off Duquesne 23-17 to claim the school’s first-ever Northeast Conference Football Championship and a berth in the NCAA Division I Championship Subdivision Playoffs.
Wagner 31, Holy Cross 30 November 10, 2012
With their seventh-straight win, the Seahawks improve to 7-3 on the year, while the Crusaders fall to 1-9 with their fifth loss of the year by a touchdown or less. In a shoot-it-out affair, the teams combined to rack up a total of 850 yards, including 453 yards on the ground, and punt the ball just three times. Williams, who has hit the 100-yard mark on the ground seven times this year, carried the ball 23 times for his 177 yards in cracking the 1,000-yard mark for the second-straight season, and now has 1,064 to go along with a team-best 11 total touchdowns. Doscher collected a season-best 68 yards on 13 carries. The Staten Island native was 17-for-31 in the air for 140 yards and three touchdowns. Doscher also did not throw an interception for the ninth-straight game, and has an impressive 11-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio on the year. Despite yielding 30 points for the second time this year, the Wagner defense made a pair of huge stops in the red zone after allowing Holy Cross to score 17-straight points out of intermission in building up a 27-14 lead. The damage, however, could have been a lot worse if not for a stout Seahawk defense. After the Green & White fumbled the ball in the third quarter at its own 10 yard line, the defense did not allow the Crusaders to advance the ball as the Patriot League representative had to settle for three points, while keeping it a two-score game at 27-14. Then, following a David Lopez (Jr., Plantation, FL / American Heritage) field goal, the Green & White kept Holy Cross out the end zone again, forcing the Crusaders into a 22-yard field goal. However, the biggest defensive play occured on the final Holy Cross drive, when senior Theodore Clohessy (Staten Island, NY / St. Joseph by the Sea) stripped the ball from Steven Elder, before sophomore Jarrett Dieudonne (Fort Lauderdale, FL / Dillard / Purdue University) scooped the ball up and ran 66 yards to the Crusader 24-yard line. Following a 10-yard penalty, the Wagner offense picked up a pair of crucial fourth-down conversions, the last of which was a 14-yard strike to sophomore Anthony Carrington (Toms River, NJ / Toms River North) on 4th-and-10 from the Crusader 18-yard line. Then on first-and-goal, Doscher found sophomore Cody Morgan (Boston, MA / Boston College / Milford Academy / Syracuse University) for the game-tying touchdown in the middle of the end zone, before Lopez booted his fourth extra point to complete the fourth-quarter comeback and give the Seahawks a thrilling 31-30 win. Holy Cross, which have now lost two-straight games by just one point, were led by Elder, who completed 16-of-25 for 234 yards and a score, while Eddie Houghton picked up 92 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries (4.0 ypc). Mike Fess paced all receivers with six catches for 101 yards, while Gerald Mistretta corralled five passes for 50 yards and a score. In the first half, Wagner, which has won seven-straight games for the first time since the 1988 season, struck first on a nine-yard touchdown pass from Doscher to Carrington with 11:01 to play in the first quarter. Following a 20-yard John Macomber field goal, the Seahawks rattled off a 15-play, 88-yard touchdown drive that spanned 8:10 and was consummated with Williams’ first touchdown of the afternoon, a five-yard run with 3:48 until the half. Down but not out, the Crusaders immediately responded with a 13-play, 75-yard scoring drive that took just 3:12, capped by a three-yard touchdown run from Eddie Houghton. Williams also led the Green & White receivers with five catches for 47 yards and a score. Carrington snared just two catches, but they were arguably two of the most important of the game with the first accounting for Wagner’s opening touchdown, while his fourth-quarter, fourth-down catch kept the Seahawks’ rally going in the game’s final minute. Clohessy’s forced fumble highlighted a team-best matching nine tackles with senior C.O. Prime (Laval, Quebec / The Kent School (CT)) matching his classmate with nine stops. Freshman Daevonte Barnett (Riviera Beach, FL / W.T Dwyer) had the lone Green & White sack of the game, 1.5 tackles for loss and a forced fumble. Holy Cross’ Erik Wachter led all tacklers with 20 stops, including a forced fumble and recovery. The Wagner offensive line did not allow a sack for the secondstraight game.
“What an ending,” said Wagner coach Walt Hameline of the fantastic finish against the Patriot League visitors that extended his squad’s seven-game winning streak. “That was

Wagner 23, Duquesne 17 November 17, 2012
Seahawk fans can find out Wagner’s fate as to who and where they will play their first round game when the NCAA Football Championship FCS Playoff Selection show airs Sunday on ESPNU at 1:30 pm. Ticket information for Wagner’s first-round game will be posted on wagnerathletics.com on Monday morning. Wagner was picked to finish seventh in the NEC Preseason Poll (out of eight teams) in August and then opened the season by dropping games at Florida Atlantic (7-3), at Georgetown (13-10) and at home to Monmouth (38-17). The Seahawks righted the ship with a 31-13 win at Central Connecticut and never looked back. The eight wins, which has increased head coach Walt Hameline’s 32-year career win total to 212, are the most by a Seahawk team since 1993 when Wagner posted a 9-3 mark. The Seahawks, who will be making their first-ever appearance in the FCS Playoffs, last played in a post-season game in 1995 when Wagner played Duquesne in its third consecutive ECAC-IFC Bowl, losing to St. John’s in 1994 and defeating Iona in 1993. Wagner’s appearance in the FCS Playoffs will mark the first time that the Seahawks will play in an NCAA postseason game since the Green & White dropped a 34-31 overtime decision to Ithaca in the first round of the NCAA Division III Playoffs on Nov. 19, 1988. The previous year, Wagner captured the Division III National Title with a 19-3 victory over Dayton on Dec. 12, 1987. This afternoon, at chilly, breezy and sun-swept Hameline Field, senior quarterback Nick Doscher (Staten Island, NY/ Moore Catholic) ran for a seasonhigh 88 yards and threw for another 106 yards, junior RB Dominique Williams (Bridgeton, NJ/ Milford Academy) ran for 98 yards while senior safety Sidiq Soulemana (Bronx, NY/ DeWitt Clinton/ Hudson Valley CC) paced Wagner defensively with 11 tackles. After Duquesne took an early 3-0 lead on a booming career-tying 51-yeard field goal by Charlie Leventry , the Seahawks answered with 14 straight points to move into a seemingly comfortable 14-3 lead. Wagner’s first touchdown drive was a well-executed 15-ply, 70-yard march that consumed 8:37, bridged the first and second quarters and culminated with a one-yard run by Williams which made it 7-3. The Seahawks’ second score was set up by a career-long 43-yard punt return by sophomore Marshyl Rothman (Jupiter, FL/ Jupiter Christian/ Murray St.) that gave Wagner great field position at the Dukes’ 31-yard line. Following an incomplete pass on first down, speedy sophomore RB Otis Wright (Fort Lauderdale, Fl/ Dillard) took over from there, bursting up the middle for 10 yards on first down before exploding off left tackle on the next play, breaking loose from several would-be tacklers on an impressive 21-yard TD jaunt that capped the quick three-play, 31-yard drive. Wright’s TD run gave the Seahawks a14-3 edge with 10:03 left in the half. Unfazed by the two-score deficit, Duquesne methodically moved the ball on its next drive. With QB Sean Patterson at the controls, the Dukes put together an 11-play, 84-yard drive with senior RB Larry McCoy taking it over from the two with 2:31 to go in the half to make it 14-10 at intermission. Duquesne took the second half kickoff and moved into Wagner territory before senior free safety Patrick O’Connor (Leominster, MA/ Leominster) came up with his first career interception at the Seahawk 35-yard line. Following an exchange of punts, Wagner drove to the Dukes’ 20-yard line but the drive ended when Williams was stopped short of the first down marker on fourth-and-one at the Duquesne 20. The defensive-minded, scoreless third quarter ended with the Seahawks clinging to that that same 14-10 lead heading nto the fourth. But things would change quickly, as Patterson engineered a sharp, eight-play, 83-yard drive, highlighted by a 43-yard completion to Gianni Carter and capped by a six-yard Patteron TD run that put the Dukes on top for the first time at 17-14 with12:39 left to play. On the ensuing drive, Wagner drove to the Duquesne nine when Wright was popped after a four-yard gain and fumbled the ball forward into the end zone. Dukes’ DB Serge Kona recovered but Duquesne was whistled for offside on the play, keeping the drive alive. Two plays later, Williams took it in from a yard out to give the Seahawks a 21-17 lead with 6:38 left as the boisterous crowd of 2,692 mostly green-clad fans rose as one, sensing a possible championship at hand. Wagner gained more momentum and the crowd grew louder still when, on the ensuing kickoff, Soulemana delivered a bone-crushing hit on return man Jason Douglas at the Duquesne 12. Following an eight-yard sack by blitzing senior LB Theodore Clohessy (Staten Island, NY/ St. Joseph Byt the Sea) and a Duquesne penalty, senior DE Jerome Williams (Burlington Township, NJ/ Holy Cross/ UConn) broke through untouched to sacking Patterson in the end zone for a safety that made it 23-17 with 4:18 left. On the free kick, Duquesne appeared to regain possession when Zach Richert forced another Wright fumble that was recovered by Chris King at the Wagner 44 but yet another offside penalty nullified the play. After the Duquesne defense kept Wagner in check, the Dukes took over at their own five-yard line with 2:08 to go. With the Dukes facin third-and-21 from their own five, senior cornerback Torian Phillips (Staten Island, NY/ Pot Richmond/ Syracuse) sealed the game with an interception.

Staten Island, NY – Senior quarterback Nick Doscher (Staten Island, NY/ Moore Catholic) totaled 186 yards of offense, junior running back Dominique Williams (Bridgeton, NJ/ Milford Academy) ran for 106 yards and the Seahawk defense caused five turnovers to lead Wagner past Colgate 31-20 in an NCAA Division I Championship game in front a 3,202 fans at chilly Hameline Field.
Cheney, WA – The Seahawks of Wagner College took on Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) royalty and nearly came 2,600 miles home with the prize, taking a 19-14 late third quarter lead before fourth-ranked Eastern Washington scored 15 unanswered points to survive, 29-19, in the second round of the NCAA Division I Championship.
Wagner 31, Colgate 20 November 24, 2012
For the Green & White, it was their ninth consecutive victory, Wagner’s longest since a nine-game skein in 1981, which was head coach Walt Hameline’s first season at the helm. The Win also broke the Red Raiders’ seven-game winning streak. After starting out the season 0-3, the Seahawks improved to 9-3 on the year while Red Raiders, champions of the Patriot League, finish with a final mark of 8-4. The Seahawks didn’t commit a turnover, leaving them with just one in their last nine games and Doscher has now thrown 210 consecutive passes without an interception. His one and only interception on the year came in the second quarter of the season opener at Florida Atlantic on August 31. Wagner never trailed in what was the Seahawks’ first NCAA game since 1988, when the team competed at the Division III level. It also marked the first NCAA win for the Green & White since December 12, 1987 when Wagner captured the Division III National Championships with a 19-3 win over Dayton. Wagner’s defense, led by an 11-tackle effort by senior linebacker Mike Lombardo (Jupiter, FL. Jupiter Christian/ Arkansas St.) stifled Colgate’s dangerous rushing attack, led by quarterback Gavin McCarney and running back Jordan McCord, by holding the Raiders to just 296 yards. The defense Colgate’s fifth-ranked FCS rushing offense (294 yards per game) and third-ranked FCS scoring offense (41 points per game) well in check. Wagner hit the scoreboard first after senior cornerback Torian Phillips (Staten Island, NY/ Port Richmond/ Syracuse) came up with the first of his two interceptions. Phillips stepped in front of a Colgate receiver on along the right sideline to pick off the pass thrown by McCarney. For the 2012 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, it was the first of five turnovers that he would commit as the senior lost three fumbles and was intercepted twice, both by Phillips. After Phillips returned the first quarter pick 31 yards to the Raiders 17, Doscher lofted a perfectly-thrown ball on first down to sophomore wide receiver Anthony Carrington (Toms River, NJ/ Toms River) for the TD and it was 7-0. Wagner made it a 14-0 lead in on a smartly-executed drive by Doscher. The 10-play, 86-yard drive featured an efficient blend of the pass and run, culminating in a Williams 10-yard rushing touchdown run with 13:17 to go in the half. Colgate’s initial tally of the game came after a 61-yard, secondquarter drive that was capped by a four-yard McCarney TD dash that made it a 14-7 game with 8:25 left in the half. Wagner countered by embarking on a six-play, 63-yard march capped by Doscher’s improvisational, twisting and turning 13-yard TD jaunt up the middle to make it 21-7. Late in the first half, Colgate turned in a huge special teams play to get back within striking distance. With Wagner punting from its own end zone and 1:15 left before intermission, Vince Myers broke through the Seahawk line to block the punt and teammate Demetrius Russell snatched the ball out of mid air in the end zone to pull the Raiders within 21-14. With less than a minute left in the half, Doscher calmly directed the Seahawks on a drive that reached the Colgate 29-yard line following a seven-yard grab by junior WR Cody Morgan (Boston, MA/ Boston College HS/ Syracuse) which set up 46-yard field goal by senior David Lopez (Plantation, FL/ Heritage) as time expired to put Wagner up 24-14. Following a scoreless third quarter, Doscher engineered a 13-play,, 74-yard drive that bridged the second and third quarters, capped by a gorgeous, lofted TD pass to fifth-year senior wide receiver David Crawford (Carrollton, TX/ Hebron) that made it 31-14. The 6-4 Crawford leapt high for the ball, snaring it at the apex of his jump, and hanging onto it as he hit the ground.
Eastern Washington 29, Wagner 19 December 1, 2012
The Eagles, who won the 2010 Division I National Championship, members of the elite Big Sky Conference improved to 10-2. With the defeat, the Seahawks saw their nine-game winning streak come to an end in finishing with a final season mark of 9-4. In the final game of his stellar career, senior quarterback Nick Doscher (Staten Island, NY/ Moore Catholic) turned in yet another gutty, gritty performance. The 6-2, 225-pound former minor league baseball catcher continually kept the Eagle defense at bay with his patience in the pocket, precision on his passes and overall presence and poise. Doscher was 11-of-21 through the air for 125 yards, while adding another 44 yards rushing on 16 carries. His 169 yards of total offense lifts his all-time his all-time Wagner record to 8,404 yards, a target that will likely take years, if not decades to match. His last career interception, which would be his only one on the season, came in the second quarter of the season opener at Florida Atlantic on Aug. 31 and ended his career with a remarkable 221 consecutive pass attempts without an interception. As has been Wagner’s penchant all season, capped by its extraordinary NCAA run, the Seahawks won the turnover battle against the Eagles, forcing three on an interception and two fumbles while playing yet another turnover-free game themselves. Doscher’s counterpart, junior Kyle Padron, a transfer from SMU, completed 26-of-36 passes for 327 yards and one touchdown. His favorite target was 6-5 junior wide receiver Brandon Kaufman, a First-Team All-Big Sky performer, who snared 10 passes for 174 yards. Wagner moved the ball efficiently early in the game, dominating time of possession, as the Seahawks’ gun-run option attack kept the Eagles off balance. On its second drive, Wagner covered 42 yards in 12 plays, reaching the Eagle 24, setting up a 41-yard field goal attempt by senior David Lopez (Plantation, FL/ American Heritage), but the kick was blocked by Eastern’s Jerry Cega as the game remained scoreless. After forcing Eastern into a three-and-out, Wagner took over at its own 20 following a touchback and Doscher led a 53-yard, sevenplay drive to set up the first of Lopez’ career-high four made field goals, a 46-yarder, giving the Green & White a 3-0 lead with 12:10 to go in the first half. The Eagles answered with a well-executed nine-play, 80-yard march, culminating in a 21-yard touchdown pass from Padron to tight end Ryan Seto that put Eastern on top, 7-3. Wagner then countered with an 81-yard drive, highlighted by a gorgeous, highly-lofted pass from Doscher to senior tight end Joe Sidaras (Mastic Beach, NY/ William Floyd) that covered 43 yards and set up a first-and-goal at the Eagle nine. Doscher gained two yards on first down, followed by a three-yard run by junior running back Dominique Williams (Bridgeton, NJ/ Milford Academy) that made it third-and-goal from the four. Doscher was flushed from the pocket and brought down for no gain at the four as the Seahawks settled for a 21-yard Lopez field goal to make it 7-6. Eastern had the last say in the half, however, driving 75 yards in 11 plays as running back Demitrius Bronson banged in from the two to give the Eagles a 14-6 edge and momentum heading into the locker room at halftime. Wagner quickly shifted the momentum back its way in the second half when sophomore cornerback Jarrett Dieudonne (Fort Lauderdale, FL/ Dillard) intercepted a Padron pass at the Eagle 45, returning it 27 yards to the 18. On first down, Doscher went quickly to work, sending a dart over the middle to emerging sophomore wide receiver Anthony Carrington (Toms River, NJ/ Toms River) for 15 yards and a first-and-goal at the three. On second and goal from the one, Williams carried it over for his 13th rushing touchdown of the season which drew the Green & White to within 14-13 with 12:37 left in the third quarter.

The Seahawk defense then forced a three-and-out, resulting in a punt that gave Wagner excellent field position at the Eagle 47. Once again Doscher found the Carrington with a 22-yard strike to give Wagner a first down at the Eagle 25.
Doscher took off for 10 yards on first down, dragging several would-be tacklers on the way, to make it first down at the 15. The Eastern defense then bowed its neck, forcing Wagner to turn to Lopez for a 29-yarder which he nailed to give the Seahawks their first lead at 16-14 with 6:43 to go in the third quarter.

Annually at homecoming, two Wagner College football players are selected to receive special awards for outstanding play. The James Robb Memorial Trophy is presented to the outstanding offensive player, while the Nick Lia Memorial Trophy is awarded to the Seahawks’ outstanding defensive player. Established in 1949, the Robb Trophy was named in memory of James Robb, a Seahawk gridiron star who was killed in action during World War II. It was presented to Wagner’s outstanding individual player in the annual Homecoming game until 1969. In that season, the Lia Trophy was introduced in honor of another Wagner football player, Nick Lia. The 1965 recipient of the Robb Trophy was killed in the Vietnam War. An outstanding defensive player and team captain, the Staten Island native was a graduate of Curtis High School. In 2000, Lt. Nick Lia was honored for his athletic achievements by being inducted into the Wagner College Athletics Hall of Fame. Lia helped lead the 1964 football team to an undefeated season and captained the ‘65 team. This year’s winners, as selected by an alumni panel, will be announced at the end of this season’s Homecoming contest. Each recipient receives an award and his name is added to the standing trophies Son display in the Hall of Fame Room in the Spiro Sports Center.

The greatest day in the long and illustrious gridiron history of Wagner College came on a sunny December 12, 1987 in Phenix, Alabama, as the Seahawks captured the 1987 NCAA Division III National Championship with a 19-3 victory against the University of Dayton. The Seahawks, winners of seven straight and 12 of 13 heading into the championship, rose to the challenge in the Stagg Bowl. Wagner jumped out to a 19-0 first-half lead and never looked back in cruising to the College’s first and only national championship in any sport. Quarterback Greg Kovar got Wagner on the board early, finding split end John Chaney in the end zone from 22 yards out with just under two minutes left in the opening quarter. Fullback Tom Pugh put the Seahawks up 13-0, bulldozing in from one yard out. Wide receiver Keith Johnson capped the Seahawk scoring 20 seconds before intermission, hauling in a 22yard Kovar spiral for a 19-0 halftime lead. With Kovar on the way to a 301yard day, the defense took it the rest of the way, holding Dayton to just 234 yards of total offense and 2.9 yards per play. End George Gaspar led the way with 16 tackles and a sack, while linebackers Artie DiMella and Chris West made 13 stops each. The Seahawks made three other NCAA Playoff appearances in the 1980s, earning berths in 1980 and 1982 and returning to defend their championship in 1988, but falling 34-31 in an overtime shoot-out to eventual national champion Ithaca.

2013 NEC COMPOSITE SCHEDULE
DR. GREGORY KNAPP ’66 h’00 strength ROOM The Wagner College strength and conditioning program is as important as any other vital function of the athletic department. It is a key component in the development of the student-athlete, focusing on improving athletic performance and physical capabilities. The Wagner College athletics department formally dedicated the modern, fully-functional 3,076 square foot Dr. Gregory P. Knapp ‘66 H’00 Strength Room in the Spiro Sports Center in December, 2009 The realization of this significant undertaking was performed thanks to the generosity of many people, chief among them Dr. Thomas G. Moles ’65 H’00, a lifetime member of the Wagner College Board of Trustees and former Seahawk football player who made a major gift towards the project in the name of his good friend, the late Gregory Knapp ’66 H’00. Knapp, who passed away in July, was also a lifetime member of the Wagner College Board of Trustees and a former Seahawk football letterwinner. “I’d like to thank Tom Moles, a long-time friend of Wager College and our athletic department, as well as the many other donors whose generosity in Greg Knapp’s name made the installation of this center possible,” said Wagner College Athletic Director/Head football coach Walt Hameline. “The Gregory P. Knapp ‘65 Strength Room is a tremendous addition to our athletic program and will benefit countless student-athletes in the coming years. “This facility will also greatly benefit the general student body as this will free up our current strength center for their use,” Hameline continued. “The addition of the Gregory P. Knapp ‘65 Strength Room is truly a win-win situation for the entire Wagner College community.”
Seahawk athletes train in the facility under the guidance of Brandon Beach who oversees the weight training efforts of the the 20 varsity sports sponsored at Wagner College.
Brandon Beach Head Strength & Conditioning Coach
Brandon Beach began his tenure at Wagner College as the new football strength and conditioning coach in February, 2010. He arrived on Grymes Hill after spending a year as the head strength and conditioning coach at Hofstra University, and five years assisting the strength and conditioning program at his alma mater James Madison University. At Hofstra, Beach designed and administered strength and condition programs for football, men’s lacrosse, and women’s lacrosse. In addition to developing those programs, Beach was in charge of supervising the development of strength and condition programs for 15 other sports. In addition to his coaching responsibilities Beach managed the conditioning budget, and served as the NFL liaison. Prior to his arrival at Hofstra in 2008, Beach served as the assistant strength and conditioning coach at James Madison. His functions included designing and implementing strength and conditioning programs for seven sports, including football and lacrosse. Outside of the weight room, Beach assisted with budget preparation and management, served as the assistant pro football liaison, and was responsible for video and computer installation. Beach earned a B.S. in Kinesiology from James Madison in 2005. He then went on to earn a Masters in Athletic Administration at James Madison in 2008. He is also Strength and Condition Certified (SCCC), certified through USA Weightlifting, and a member of both USA weightlifting and the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Association (CSCA).
