2014 Season Outlook

With 10 letterwinners returning for the Seahawks this year, including four seniors, three juniors, and three sophomores, head coach Glen Payne is gearing up for what promises to be a very exciting 2014 campaign. In addition to the returning players, Payne has recruited a wide array of incoming talent comprised of eight student-athletes from a variety of different, high-level club teams. The Green & White also welcomes assistant coach Judy Betz, in addition to second-year assistant coach John Pisano. Payne affirms that the level of talent the Seahawk squad possesses will undoubtedly aid the team in tough games. With the difference between each place in the 2013 end-of-the-year standings being only a handful of games, Payne believes Wagner can make a jump in the rankings this coming year. Though a young team, the Seahawks have a good balance of quality student-athletes that are sure to mesh well together. “Everything is up for grabs in our conference,” says Payne. “We played a lot of close, quality games, but the outcome wasn’t always in our favor. But the difference this year is that we added a lot of depth and a lot of skill. As a team, we’re hungry for wins. And people who are hungry can turn those close loses into wins and move up. “We want other teams to know that when they play us, there’s going to be a dogfight war in the trenches,” continues Payne. “That would be my main goal, to make sure we go out every day, and make sure that when it’s done, it’s all left on the field. And at the end of the day, the best people are going to walk on the field. The one thing we’ve always given is opportunity. We’ve always given the opportunity for people to prove themselves and once the evaluations are done, someone is going to win the job, and if the second-best continues to work hard, we’ll get opportunities to give her a chance. The girls all understand that. With the types of players we have, our possibilities are truly endless.” The senior class, comprised of versatile infielder Kristen Matteoni, leftfielders Taylor Raucher and Hayley Sullivan, and catcher Mackenzie Alfaro, are poised to lead the 2014 squad. “They’re all people who work hard,” notes Payne. “They lead by example both on and off the field. We have a really good group of seniors.” Matteoni, a three-year starter, is looking to compete for either the second or third base position, and will use her consistent batting performance to lead the Seahawk offense. Rauscher and Sullivan, both peppered with experience, will compete for the leftfield position, while Alfaro, who missed last season due to a shoulder injury, is a contender to regain the spot behind the plate.

2014 Wagner College Softball The junior class, consisting of pitcher Samantha Bedker, catcher Beth Lewis, and shortstop Kelsey Parker, is expected to immensely aid the team. “The juniors have a fantastic work ethic,” says Payne. “They give you everything they have, and it rubs off on other people. They don’t know what it is to not work hard.” Payne is excited to have Bedker as a possibility at the mound, and expects her to be a force to be reckoned with for the next two years. Payne also noted his excitement about Parker, who he believes is in top-form this season and should prove to be solid defensively. Rounding out the junior class is Lewis, who Payne says, in addition to her experience behind the plate, brings a lot to the team moral both on and off the field. The sophomore class, made up of outfielder Abigail Beasley, catcher/third base Brenda Bott, first base/catcher Megan Moore, and pitcher/first base transfer Taylor Secemski, further strengthens Wagner’s line of talent. Beasley constantly gets good reads on the ball, closing the foul line well, and is a candidate for that right outfield position. Taylor secemski, who joins Wagner from Villanova, provides depth in two positions, a fact Payne is excited about. Both Bott and Moore bring stability to the catching and first base positions. “These kids give us flexibility,” says Payne. “And stability is exactly what we are looking for, not just in catching, but all over.” Rounding out the squad are is freshman class: shortstop McKaleigh Goodale, second base/shortstop Taylor Beeson, outfielder Brianna Tredway, pitcher/first base Gina Massaro, third base/outfielder Hana Gilbert, infielder Aerika High, and first/third base Camille Kiyota. The freshmen are expected to strengthen the team’s overall presence on the field, with Tredway, Gibert, and High competing for outfield positions, and Goodale, Beeson, and Kiyota hoping to make an impression in the infield. “This is a solid freshman class,” determines Payne. “Just like the older girls, they work hard, and they provide the length in our lineup that we need. They enhance our offense and our defense, and they’re athletes we’re all really enthused about. They make us instantly that much better.” “Every athlete will be fighting for a starting spot,” states Payne. “And that’s a great thin. With what we’ve seen, it’s noticeable how hard our athletes have been working.” Concludes Payne, “These kids, when you talk to them, they look in your eyes and they wait on your words so you can make themselves. They work six days a week, and every day they are still out there diving, working hard, wanting it. The attitude and their mental toughness is going to be a very big part of it, and based on what the athletes have shown us, the coaching staff, we’re all very excited to start our season.” Schedule The Green & White will open their season at the Norfolk State University Spartan Clash tournament in Norfolk, VA (2/21-23), before heading to the Combat Invitational in Rock Hill, SC (2/28-3/2). From there, Wagner will travel to the Colonials Tournament in Washington, DC (3/7-9), followed by the USF Invitational in Clearwater, FL (3/14-16). After hosting a double-header at home against Columbia (3/20), the Seahawks will head to Towson, MD (3/22-23). Wagner will then face Temple for a double-header in Philadelphia, PA (3/26). Wagner kicks off their conference game schedule with a pair of home double-header matches against LIU Brooklyn (3/29) and Fairfield (3/30), before going on the road to face Saint Peter’s (4/3), Bryant (4/5), Central Connecticut State University (4/6), and Manhattan (4/9). The Seahawks return home for a number of Grymes Hill games, including matches against Saint Francis U (4/12), Iona (4/16), and Sacred Heart (4/18). Following a trip to Emmitsburg, MD, to face Mount St. Mary’s (4/19), the Green & White will play it’s double-header Senior Day event against Robert Morris (4/26), before wrapping up regular season play at Fairleigh Dickinson (4/27).

The Seahawks were among a group of 29 softball programs in this elite category. In addition to running a disciplined, academic-oriented program, Payne knows a thing or two about winning softball games. In 2006, Payne’s team set the school record in single-season wins with 35.

Payne has continuously employed a widespread geographical approach to recruiting, attracting talent from across the country, ranging from California, Nevada, Texas, Arizona and Indiana in addition to the Northeast Region. The program’s recruiting efforts have produced a two-time NEC Player of the Year (Andrea Lazzari-2008, 2009), two NEC Rookie of the Year Award winners, both from Wooster High School in Reno, Nevada (Katie Stevens-2005, Andrea Lazzari-2006), 14 First Team All-NEC and 19 Second Team All-NEC nominees, Five NEC All-Tournament Team awardees (Andrea Lazzari (’06, 07)), Ami Iwicki (’07), Morgan Miller (’07) and Kate Eshelman (’07)), Two NFCA All-Region first Team (Christy Sykora (’05), Andrea Lazzari (’09)) and one second team (Andrea Lazzari (’08)).

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 d its 1 05 park like acres represent the highest elevation on is New York State’s southernmost college and 105 park-like 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 o Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New York Harbor. In early 2009, of f former U.S. President Bill Clinton recognized Wagner College a and President Richard Guarasci, at the second annual Clinton G Global Initiative University. Wagner was cited for the Port R Richmond Partnership, an innovative program that will focus t the school’s community resources in an effort to improve q quality of life in a specific Staten Island neighborhood. Movie companies have frequently used the campus as a c classic college setting, most recently for a movie titled “ “School of Rock” starring Jack Black (Shallow Hal). The p picturesque campus was also used in a fall 2001 television s series, The Education of Max Bixford, starring Richard D Dreyfus and as the site of a prospective private military s 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.

In September of 2012, Wagner College Stadium was renamed in honor of longtime athletic director and head football coach Walt Hameline. Hameline Field serves as the home for Wagner football, women’s soccer, and men’s and women’s lacrosse. The stadium features the Lebovitz Family Scoreboard, which was donated in 2010, and a synthetic field turf surface.

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-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 for 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 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.

ABOUT THE NORTHEAST CONFERENCE Northeast Conference History It is with 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. 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 student-athlete achievement, academic excellence, integrity, sportsmanship, equity and diversity, community partnership and national engagement. When the Northeast Conference (NEC) was first established as the ECACMetro 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 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.

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). 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. 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.

2014 Wagner College Softball 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-the-art 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 Front Row was there when the basketball season tipped off at “Social” Media Day, and returned for the climax as well via NEC Front Row Live! presented by Pilot Pen. The online digital network was on the scene at the men’s and women’s title games, providing live pre- and post-game coverage via an ESPN-style floor 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. 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.

2014 Wagner College Softball 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. 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,

WAGNERATHLETICS.COM

2014 Wagner College Softball 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 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.

2014 Wagner College Softball 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. 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. The next evolution of NEC Front Row will come this fall with the debut of HD quality webcasts around the league. Likewise, with HD Tricasters being provided to each institution, schools will be able to record games in broadcast quality high definition from multiple angles. 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 on-demand events will also be free of charge, and fans can take part in the conversation through the app’s built-in social media capabilities. 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.
