In 2012, Wagner Celebrated the 25-Year Anniversary of “The Unforgettable Season” On September 15, 2012, the 1987 Seahawks were honored on the 25th anniversary of their Division III National Championship in a ceremony on a field that had been dedicated just minutes before as Hameline Field at Wagner College Stadium

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 seventhyear 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. Following the season, their story grew as six players were named All-American, including three first-teamers. Their story was even splashed across a two-page spread in Sports Illustrated. Over these last 25 years, the Seahawks’ achievement has been well-told. It will be told again and again.

Dr. Richard Guarasci, (Pronounced Ga-rah-see) served as President of Wagner College since June 2002. He arrived at Wagner in July 1997 when he took up the posi on of Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs which he held for the five years prior to his selec on as Wagner College’s 18th President.

Dr. Guarasci authored a comprehensive four year undergraduate program required of all Wagner students that links interdisciplinary course clusters with experien al learning and civic engagement. Wagner has become a prac ce centered liberal arts college. This became a reality with the advent of The Wagner Plan for the Prac cal Liberal Arts in 1998.

As President, Dr. Guarasci led the first comprehensive capital campaign in Wagner’s modern history, successfully realizing the $50-million goal ahead of schedule. He raised the College’s endowment from $4 million to $80+ million today. In addi on, the College just opened an 80,000 sq. ., 200-bed residence, Founda on Hall in 2010. A new capital campaign is now underway for a major academic building, The Center for Global Learning, a $40 million project that will link Wagner’s students and faculty with counterparts interna onally, as well as house new facili es for the Nursing School, Business, Educa on, Government and Language programs.

At Wagner classroom teaching is linked with its dynamic New York City loca on through the extensive use of field based experien al learning. As part of the Plan, the large majority of students engage in over a combined 80,000 hours in professional and public service for Staten Island and Manha an in all areas of the curriculum. Civic educa on- service to the community- is also a signature of Wagner‘s undergraduate program.

The Wagner Plan has been na onally acclaimed by Time Magazine, US News & World Report, Newsweek, The Chronicle of Higher Educa on and numerous higher educa on commissions and organiza ons. The Princeton Review has ranked Wagner College as the Most Beau ful Campus in America. Most recently, US News ranked Wagner College first in the North under the category the “most innova ve college” and first in the North for its commitment to undergraduate teaching.

Dr. Guarasci serves on three na onal civic engagement ini a ves: Bringing Theory to Prac ce Ini a ve of the Associa on of American Colleges and Universi es, supported by the Englehard Founda on and the Johnson Endeavor, promo ng civic learning and democra c engagement; The Anchor Ins tu on Steering Commi ee, promo ng university-community planned neighborhood partnerships; The Na onal Task Force for Civic Engagement, advising the U.S. Department of Educa on in establishing civic learning and democra c ci zenship as an essen al part of our undergraduate degree and authored The Crucible Moment: College Learning and Democracy’s Future. Dr. Guarasci also serves on the board of the Coali on of Urban and Metropolitan Universi es, the na onal board of Campus Compact and chairs their na onal board of directors, and is the past board chair of the New American Colleges and Universi es, a consor um of 20-plus private comprehensive universi es and colleges from across the United States. He also chairs the Presidents’ Council for Project Pericles. In addi on, Dr. Guarasci helps lead a major Wagner College ini a ve on Staten Island, the Port Richmond Partnership. Through the Partnership the College and its students work in a democra c partnership with over 20 neighborhood organiza ons and ins tu ons addressing the challenges of the Port Richmond neighborhood in the areas of health care, K-12 educa on and economic development. Dr. Guarasci received his B.S. from Fordham University and his M.A. in Economics and Ph.D. in Poli cal Science from Indiana University.

Wagner College has developed a curriculum that unites deep learning and prac cal applica on. The Wagner Plan incorporates our longstanding commitment to the liberal arts, experien al learning and interdisciplinary educa on with our geographical loca on enduring bond with New York City. Beginning their very first semester at Wagner, students not only study issues and learn cri cal-thinking, wri ng and problem-solving skills, but they also see and prac ce what they are learning. This “prac cal” side of liberal educa on is clearly seen in our Learning Communi es and Reflec ve Tutorials and in the investment faculty make in connec ng students with the world outside the classroom. Under the Wagner Plan, students complete a liberal arts core porgram and a major, totaling 36 units/courses. As part of these requirements, students complete three Learning Communi es (LC’s)-one in the first year, one during the intermediate years and one in the senior year in the major.

s

r e

For students admitted to the Honors Program, courses are designed to s mulate and challenge them intellectually and to offer excep onal academic and co-curricular opportunities. Honors courses are more challenging, involve more discussion/debate, and o en (if not always) require longer and more in depth research papers and oral presenta ons by students. The Program is affiliated with the Na onal Collegiate Honors Council.

Ath c Director Athle Walt Hameline, who stepped down as Wagner College head football coach a er 34 years following the 2014 season, con nues to amass an astounding record of Wa ach achievement and consistency as the Seahawks’ athle c director, a posi on he has held since 1982. Th The longest-tenured athle c director in Division I, the results derived during his tenure have been profound. This natural-born leader approaches each day with a rel relentless energy, passion and enthusiasm. On June 4, 2015, the Wagner community demonstrated its loyalty and affec on for Hameline as more than 300 guests a ended a tribute dinner here on campus in recogni on of his sterling 34-year record of molding young men into leaders and winners – both on and off the field. In a ceremony prior to the kick off of the 2012 season, the field at Hameline Field was named in his honor. Ha Hameline is currently spearheading a fundraising drive to support an expansion to Wagner College Stadium Expansion Project. Funding for the project was kicked at his re rement and as a direct result of that evening, more than $200,000 was raised for the project that will cost $1.2 Million. This exci ng expansion project fea features a host of new and exci ng ameni es, each of which will have a posi ve impact on the college experience of our more than 400 Seahawk student-athletes. ”This ”Th project is an important step for our student-athletes, and one that will benefit all of our student-athletes, not just those who call Wagner College Stadium their the home facility,” said Walt Hameline, Director of Athle cs. “The new layout will allow us to operate the athle c department more efficiently. “On “O the heels of our successful campaign that made permanent ligh ng a reality at the stadium, these enhancements will serve to increase the flexibility of how we operate while enhancing the student-athlete experience at the same me,” Hameline added. “The stadium expansion project will shed a visible and tangible light on our athle c programs. I believe also that the impact it will have on our recrui ng will be significant.” In April of 2012, Hameline, who enjoyed a long and proud associa on with metropolitan area basketball and the Na onal Invita on Tournament (NIT), was the recipient of the 2012 Dis nguished Service Award from the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Associa on (MBWA). Dis nguished Service Awards are presented by the MBWA to individuals that have made significant contribu ons to college basketball. For more than two decades, he was one of five metro area athle c directors, along with his peers at NYU, Fordham, Manha an and St. John’s, who helped comprise the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Associa on (MIBA). Along with NIT Execu ve Director Jack Powers, Hameline helped select teams for both preseason and postseason NIT’s, while direc ng other func ons such as the NIT All-Star Summer Tour. Under Hameline’s leadership, the Wagner athle c department has undergone an ambi ous expansion in both sport offerings and facility improvements. Thanks to the generosity of one of his former offensive lineman and now highly-successful business man, Marc Lebovitz, Wagner College Stadium was the beneficiary of a striking state-of-the-art video scoreboard in 2010. The scoreboard, donated by Lebovitz, a member of the Seahawks’ 1987 Division III Na onal Championship football team and a 1991 Wagner graduate, represented a major facility upgrade for the Green & White football program, while also benefi ng the women’s soccer, men’s lacrosse, women’s lacrosse and men’s & women’s track and field programs. The aforemen oned Wagner College Stadium expansion will include brand new locker rooms, training room, training facility and equipment room, which will serve to benefit Wagner’s 22 athle c programs. In addi on, the expansion will provide the opportunity to host addi onal external events for the Staten Island community. The increased locker room space will allow the men’s and women’s lacrosse programs to have permanent locker rooms at Wagner College Stadium which will open up space for other Athle c programs to u lize in the Spiro Sports Center. “Walt Hamline represents the best of what Wagner is all about - high achievement, integrity and hard work,” said Wagner College President Richard Guarasci. “He has been an excellent teacher, mentor and leader, and one of the truly great influences on the development and history of Wagner College. It has been my good fortune to work alongside him. He is a Wagner treasure and he will con nue as Athle cs Director to leave his indelible mark of character and commitment on this special place. I look forward to many years of his fine leadership in athle cs and on all aspects of our campus community.” The recently completed 2015-16 academic year represented a watershed moment for Wagner Athle cs, both in the classroom and in compe on. The Seahawk women’s water polo team earned the highest grade point average (GPA) in the na on for the fi h consecu ve year, according to the Associa on of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC), as this group of student-athletes a ained a na onal-best 3.61 GPA in the classroom, which heads a list of 44 ins tu ons from around the country. Addi onally, Wagner recorded the highest GPA in four sports at the conclusion of the 2015-16 season. The four Seahawk teams which garnered the top GPA in their respec ve sports were football (3.014), men’s indoor track & field (3.382), men’s outdoor track & field (3.382), and women’s swimming & diving. Recently graduated women’s swimming and diving standout Amanda Lucia, from Easthampton, MA, has been nominated for the NCAA’s pres gious Woman of the Year Award which honors gradua ng female college athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and dis nguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in academics, athle cs, service and leader-ship. Lucia was previously named NEC Female Student-Athlete of the Year and graduated cum laude this past May with a 3.55-GPA as a nursing major. Lucia was a four-year member of the NEC Academic Honor Roll, the 2014-15 NEC Swimming & Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and finished with a 4.0 GPA in her final semester as an undergraduate. Addi onally, Lucia was an ac ve member of Sigma Theta Tau, the Honor Society of Nursing. In the pool, Lucia won the 200 Bu erfly and 400 IM at the 2016 NEC Championships and added a second place in the 100 Bu erfly. In the winter, the Seahawk men’s basketball team galloped to the Northeast Conference (NEC) regular sea-son championship, the program’s first since 2002-03, and went on to post the program’s first-ever postseason victory, an impressive 79-75 NIT win at St. Bonaventure.

In the spring of 2016, three Seahawk teams – Water Polo, Women’s Lacrosse and Men’s Golf, claimed conference championships and went on to represent the NEC in NCAA compe on. For the water polo team, it marked the program’s third consecu ve MAAC Championship. For the second straight season, Jess Lundgren, from Queensland, Australia, was named a 2016 ACWPC All-American Honorable Men on, becoming the first Seahawk to garner mul ple All-America honors. Head Football Coach Hameline completed his 34th season on November 22, 2014 as the Seahawks posted a rive ng 23-20 win at Bryant, giving the Green & white a 7-4-record and a share of the 2014 Northeast Conference (NEC) regular season tle at 5-1, Wagner’s second league crown in the last three years. During his marvelous 34-year coaching career, Hameline amassed an all- me record of 223-139-2 (.615) on Grymes Hill. At the conclusion of the 2014 regular season, those 223 victories ranked fi h among ac ve head Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) head coaches. In 2014, Hameline was honored by the Metropolitan New York Football Writers and USA College Football at the Eastern College Football Awards Banquet at MetLife Stadium. On this night, Hameline received the FCS Bob Ford Award, named for the man who guided a highly-successful Great Danes’ program from 1970 to 2013. Established in 2012, the Bob Ford Award honors Legendary FCS coaches who have recently re red from the sidelines. In a s rring ceremony prior to kickoff of the September 15, 2012, Wagner vs. Monmouth game, the field at Wagner College Stadium was named Hameline Field in honor of his long- me success at the helm of the Seahawk gridiron program. November 6, 2010 was another historic day in Hameline’s career, another that also involved Monmouth, as the Seahawks’ 31-20 win over the Hawks marked career victory number 200. In 2012, Hameline, who has coached more than 100 All-Americans and nearly 100 All-NEC players, 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 Playoffs. The win personified the Green & White’s exhilara ng season. Wagner began the season with three straight losses, before winning its next nine games. In defying the odds throughout its triumphant march to the school’s first-ever Northeast Conference (NEC) tle 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 me 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. A er being named the 2012 NEC Football Coach of the year, he was tabbed the 2012 Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Na onal 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 a er receiving the news of his twin Na onal Coach of the Year honors, Hameline was inducted into the New Jersey Sports Writers Associa on 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 na onally-ranked Albany in the week following Hurricane Sandy. A er 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. Hameline also saw his first former player crack the NFL ranks when Julian Stanford made the 2012 Jacksonville Jaguars’ 53-man roster, becoming the first Seahawk in the NFL since Wagner Hall of Famer Rich Ko te suited up for the New York Giants in 1972. Currently a member of the Detroit Lions, Stanford is one of three former Seahawks currently playing in a major professional football league, along with Dominique Williams of the Minnesota Vikings and C.O. Prime of the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats. 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 Na onal 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 Na onal Championship. Against one of the toughest schedules in the na on, 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 recogni on. Following the season, in addi on to Sports Illustrated wri ng a feature story, a host of na onal and regional organiza ons recognized Hameline, highlighted by him being named the Chevrolet Na onal Coach of the Year. In 1990, just three years a er winning the school’s only Na onal Championship, Hameline became the winningest coach in school history. The 64-year old administrator has been a key developer of the NEC, serving on numerous commi ees, and is a past president of the league. Nine years ago, the New Har ord, NY na ve was honored for his playing, coaching and administra ve achievements when he was inducted into the U ca Sports Hall of Fame. In addi on, Hameline was given the All-America Football Founda on Johnny Vaught Life me Achievement Award in 1998. An outstanding defensive back at Brockport State, Hameline received his Bachelor of Science degree in physical educa on in 1975, and went on to earn his Master’s Degree in educa on 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 JASON HOUGHTALING JASON HOUGHTALING FIRST SEASON Former Wagner associate head coach/offensive coordinator Jason Houghtaling (hO Tail- Ling) , was elevated to head football coach on November 25, 2014 and will enter his second season at the helm of the Seahawk program in 2016. Houghtaling took over for Walt Hameline, who served in the dual role as Seahawk athle c director and head football coach for 34 years, before announcing that he was stepping down from his role as head coach. Hameline remains as Wagner’s athle c director. Prior to his appointment as head coach, Houghtaling spent seven seasons on the Wagner sidelines, serving as offensive coordinator during Wagner’s 2012 and 2014 Northeast Conference (NEC) tle runs, while inbetween, spending the 2013 season as offensive coordinator at Cornell In his last three seasons as Wagner’s offensive coordinator, the Seahawks have amassed a 16-6 NEC record with league tles in two of the last three seasons. The Green & White staged a drama c 23-20 come-frombehind victory at Bryant, marching 65 yards in the waning minutes for the game-winning touchdown that gave the Seahawks a 7-4 record, a 5-1 NEC mark, and a share of the 2014 NEC tle. The 2014 Seahawk offense followed a similar formula to the 2012 Seahawks, finishing the regular season ranked No. 4 na onally in me of possession (33:02), while not commi ng a single turnover in the last three games of the season. When he returned to Grymes Hill in the capacity of associate head coach/offensive coordinator in January, 2014, this marked Houghtaling’s third s nt at Wagner. Known as ‘Hoss’ to his players and fellow coaches, Houghtaling was a Seahawk assistant coach from 2006-2009, before becoming head coach at Hudson Valley Community College in 2010. Following one season as head coach of the Vikings, he returned to Wagner as offensive coordinator in 2011, where he spent two seasons, including the 2012 NEC Championship campaign. “Jason has a sharp football mind and he is an excellent teacher and leader of young men,” said Wagner College President Richard Guarasci. “He has prepared himself carefully to be a head coach of a Division I program. He completed his Masters degree in educa on from Wagner where he learned how to teach students with different and unique skills and personali es. I am delighted that he will lead Wagner’s football program and con nue his partnership with Walt Hamline as they take Wagner into the next genera on of athle c and academic success.” During Wagner’s 9-4 NEC Championship season of 2012, that saw the Seahawks become the first team in NEC history to win an NCAA FCS Playoff game and rank in the Top 25 of both final na onal polls, Houghtaling tutored the Seahawks’ record-se ng quarterback, Nick Doscher, as he evolved into one of the all- me great quarterbacks to ever compete at Wagner and in the NEC. Doscher operated Houghtaling’s offensive system with precision, finishing his career ranked No. 1 in Seahawk history, and No. 2 in NEC history, with 8,404 yards of total offense. His 6,100 passing yards are also No. 1 on the Wagner all- me list and No. 9 on the all- me NEC list. As a senior in 2012, Doscher fashioned a passer ra ng of 133.9, with 13 touchdown passes and just one intercep on, ending his career with a remarkable 221 consecu ve pass a empts without an intercep on. Led by Doscher, and star running back Dominique Williams, who is now a member of the NFL’s New York Jets prac ce squad, the 2012 Seahawks were one of the na on’s most balanced units, ranking No. 1 na onally with the fewest turnovers (6) in all of FCS football.

Head Coach JASON HOUGHTALING “I am thrilled that Jason Houghtaling will take over as Wagner head coach and I have full confidence that he will con nue to keep the Seahawks on the path to success for years to come,” said Hameline. “His work ethic, passion, football knowledge, recrui ng contacts, and familiarity with Wagner College are all major assets that will pay huge dividends for our program. In Hoss, we have an individual who has the respect of everyone that he comes into contact with, and is highly-regarded by high school coaches both within our region, and on a na onal scale.” During the 2013 season as offensive coordinator at Cornell, Houghtaling coached quarterback Jeff Mathews, who led the Ivy League in a empts, comple ons and passing yards, before signing a free agent contract with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. Following the 2013 season, Mathews, who is currently a member of the prac ce squad of the Indianapolis Colts, was named to the College Sports Journal FCS All-America Team and received the addi onal honor of par cipa ng in the East–West Shrine Game, serving as captain of the East squad. During his first season as a collegiate offensive coordinator (2011), Houghtaling directed the talented Williams to impressive numbers. Williams ranked among the na onal leaders by rushing for 121.6 yards per game and 14 total touchdowns, while pos ng eight 100-yard games in 11 contests. The following season, Williams was a 2012 College Sports Journal All-American, in addi on to earning First-Team AllNEC honors. “Wagner is a special place for both my family and I, so it’s truly an honor to be selected to con nue to build this program,” said Houghtaling. “I thank Coach Hameline and Wagner College President Dr. Guarasci for entrus ng me with this posi on and can’t wait to lead this program, coach our current players, and a ract even more elite student-athletes in the coming years.” When he first arrived at Wagner in 2006, Houghtaling served as running backs coach, before heading the Seahawk offensive lines from 2007-2009. With an emphasis on New York State and Florida, Houghtaling has been the lead recruiter for a host of student-athletes who have gone on to enjoy outstanding careers on Grymes Hill. The list of top Wagner student-athletes that Houghtaling has recruited include New Jerseyan Dominique Williams, New York State na ves Quin n Anderson, Tyrone Collins, Chazz Lege e, Stefan Gage, Patrick Gibbons, and Sidiq Soulemana, as well as Floridians Keith Hernandez, Frantz Placide and O s Wright. In 2010, his one season as head coach at Troy, NY-based Hudson Valley, he tutored two All-Conference performers. Houghtaling began his collegiate coaching career at prep powerhouse Milford Academy in Berlin, NY, where he helped lead the Falcons to a 20-3 mark as defensive coordinator, while also serving as defensive line and strength and condi oning coach. A 2004 graduate of the University of Binghamton with a degree in History, Houghtaling earned a Masters in Educa on from Wagner in 2009. He originally a ended Lafaye e, where he was a defensive lineman for the Leopards, before injuries cut short his playing career and he transferred to Binghamton. A na ve of Windsor, NY, Houghtaling got his start in coaching at his high school alma mater, Windsor Central High School, where he spent two seasons working with the Black Knights’ offensive line and linebackers under the head coach he played for, Dan Hodack. Houghtaling and his wife Mary are the proud parents of two daughters, Abbie and Emma.

Head Coach JASON HOUGHTALING What They’re Saying About Jason Houghtaling Dave Archer, Head Coach – Cornell University “Jason Houghtaling is not only an incredibly knowledgeable football coach but he does a great job rela ng to student-athletes from all over – all over the country, from all different backgrounds. He does a great job of being able to get them to work together, as proven by his offensive lines, and his offenses, and I’m excited to see him on larger scale, with a full team, as a head coach.” Keith Carter, Offensive Line Coach - San Jose State University, Former Quality Control Coach - 2014 Super Bowl Champion Sea le Seahawks, Former Wagner College Assistant Coach “He’s tenacious, he’s a go-ge er, and he’s somebody who, as a colleague and working with him, he’s someone I was constantly trying to keep up with. He’s the type of guy who just pushes you. As a consequence, iron sharpens iron, and he made me be er just trying to keep up with him. I’m just really excited for him honestly. He’s going to do a great job, he’s really organized, with a really good ability to see the big picture, make a plan and adjust when you have to, and see it through in the right way. He’s just a balanced, humble person and is about as blue collar and as tough as they come and I think it’s a really good fit.” Tom Masella, Defensive Coordinator – UMass, Former Wagner College Associate Head Coach, Former Head Coach – Boston University, Fairfield, Central Connec cut, Fordham, and a former Seahawk standout and 1981 Wagner College graduate “I’m really happy for Hoss. If you could pick a guy to replace Walt Hameline, Jason Houghtaling is the guy you’d pick. He’s very determined, knowledgeable, hard-working, and he really loves Wagner, has a genuine passion for the school and the community. That’s his school now. I think it’s a great fit and, like I said, I couldn’t be happier for him and for the Wagner football program.” Bill Chaplick, Head Coach – Milford Academy “He came to me as a posi on coach and halfway through his first year with me I made him our defensive coordinator and we ended up going 11-1 and he had a chance to coach Antonio Dixon, who went to the University of Miami, and the NFL (Redskins, Eagles, Colts). And he coached Terrance Knighton, who’s now with the Denver Broncos, the guy they call ‘Pot Roast’. Hoss was totally loyal to the sport of football and totally loyal to me as a head coach, and that’s why I gave him his promo on. We went 9-2 his second year and then he told me he wanted to do this the rest of his life. So, I hooked him up with Coach Hameline, I put my word on Hoss, and he’s done a great job, obviously, and I wish him and Coach Hameline the best.” Dan Hodack, Former Head Coach - Windsor Central High School (NY) “I remember, as a freshman, Jason was a big, bruising fullback/linebacker but we needed help on the offensive line. I figured we could probably find another fullback but we can’t find another person to play center and anchor our line for three years. He controlled the whole offensive line from that point forward and made all the defensive calls as our middle linebacker on three championship teams. His leadership skills were evident early.” Gary Vail, Former Athle c Director, Football, Basketball, Baseball Coach- Windsor Central High School (NY) “I was no longer coaching football when Jason came through but I coached him in basketball and baseball and he was really an outstanding athlete. He was incredibly coachable and extremely team-oriented and a young man who’s always pre y much known what he wanted to do which is to be a coach. He understands the work ethic that he needs and he also understands having a first-class a tude about things, knowing how deal with all the different people that he has to. He’s done very well with each of his opportuni es and I know he’ll do a great job as Wagner’s head coach.”

ASSistant coaches TONY BRINSON DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR T Brinson, who enters his 23rd season as a collegiate football coach in 2016 and his sixth season at Wagner, will Tony se serve as defensive coordinator for the Seahawks in 2016. D During his five seasons on Grymes Hill, the veteran North Jersey na ve has worn many hats, having served in the ro roles of recrui ng coordinator, in addi on to coaching the Seahawks’ special teams, defensive line and linebackers. A member of the coaching staffs that led Wagner to the 2012 and 2014 (regular season) NEC Championship squads, in his me at Wagner he has produced two team MVPs, three Defensive MVP’s four All-Northeast Conference plays and four NFL free agents, including current New York Jet Julian Stanford. His two-decade career has taken him up and down the eastern seaboard where he has developed a host of deep and las ng recrui ng rela onships and contacts. “Tony Brinson is a really good football coach and he has a lot of off-the-field responsibili es,” said head coach Jason Houghtaling. “He’s going to take over special teams for Coach Fullen and he’s also now heading up our recrui ng efforts. He had a heckuva year recrui ng North Jersey for us and brought in close to 15 kids himself. Tony is a veteran guy, carries himself the right way, and does what you expect of a top football coach.” In his four seasons at Wagner, including NEC championships in 2012 and 2014, Brinson has tutored four Seahawks who went on to sign NFL Free Agent contracts. Following the 2011 season, Julian Stanford signed a free agent deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars a er earning first-team All-NEC accolades. The 6-2, 225-pound Stanford earned a spot on the team’s final roster, went on to make an early impact on special teams which led to his star ng six of Jacksonville’s 16 games. One of 19 players to play in all 16 games for the Jaguars, Stanford finished his rookie campaign with 23 total tackles, including 18 solo stops. In making the Jaguars’ roster, Stanford became the first Seahawk to appear on an ac ve NFL regular season roster since Wagner Hall of Fame member Rich Ko te (1967-1972). Stanford then signed a free agent contract with the Detroit Lions in 2013. Two of Stanford’s teammates, also tutored by Brinson, inked NFL free agent deals following the 2011 season in safety Jeremiah Brown and DE Quin n Anderson and were in training camps with the Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, respec vely. In 2014, the Seahawk defensive unit, spearheaded by its fine linebacker play, led the NEC in a host of categories while also ranking in the NCAA Top 10 in three major categories – Rushing Defense, No. 2 (83.1), Total Defense, No. 6 (281.3) and Scoring Defense, No. 10 (18.0). Thanks in large part to the relentless brand of defense displayed by the Green & White defense, the 2014 Seahawks went 7-4 overall and 5-1 in league, sharing the NEC tle with Sacred Heart. This marked Wagner’s second NEC tle in the last three years as the Seahawks won the 2012 championship en route to an appearance in the Division I NCAA Playoffs.

In Wagner’s historic run to the 2012 NEC tle and FCS Playoffs, senior linebacker C.O. Prime recorded a team-best 98 tackles and earned second-team All-NEC honors. In April, 2013, the 6-1, 255-pound Prime became the fourth Seahawk in Brinson’s tenure to sign an NFL free agent contract when he inked a deal with the Indianapolis Colts. Also In 2012, Wagner’s star ng outside linebacker tandem of seniors Theodore Clohessy and Mike Milone turned in stellar campaigns despite not possession the physical stature of most top FCS linebackers. Clohessy, who was named Defensive MVP at the postseason banquet, made play a er play despite being rela vely undersized at 5-10, 210. Fi h on team in tackles with 77, including 35 solo, Clohessy forced a team-high six fumbles. He was also credited with nine tackles for loss for minus 43 yards, three sacks for minus 23 yards, while adding two fumble recoveries and one pass breakup. Much of the groundwork that led to the 2012 NEC tle was laid in 2011 under Brinson’s direc on as defensive coordinator. That season, Wagner 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). Brinson arrived on Grymes Hill in 2011 a er serving three years as an assistant at Columbia University. Brinson joined the Columbia staff in April 2008 and was the Lions’ ght end coach throughout his tenure there.

2015 all-nec pre-season team East Rutherford, NJ – Senior offensive lineman Matt Diaz (Edison, NJ/Edison/Milford Academy), fifth-year senior tight end Ryan Owens (Gainesville, MY/Letchworth), and junior punter Bryan Rafano (South River, NJ / St. Joseph’s-Metuchen) were named to the 27-man, 2016 Preseason All-NEC Team, the league office announced today at the #NECFB Social Media Day today at MetLife Stadium. Defending league champion Duquesne was picked as the NEC preseason favorite with six one first-place votes. Sacred Heart, which picked up one first-place ballot, was chosen second in the annual predicted order-of-finish. Saint Francis U found itself in third place when the survey results were tallied, followed by Bryant, Central Connecticut, Robert Morris and Wagner. The last time that the Seahawks were picked last was in 2012, a year that saw the Green & White stun observers by recording nine consecutive wins earning and earning the NEC Championship and a first-round NCAA FCS Playoff victory over Colgate. For the third straight season in 2016, Diaz is expected to be a leader up front, anchoring the left tackle spot for the Green & White. At 6-6, 290 pounds, he is a mobile and talented offensive lineman who boasts a wealth of explosion at the point of attack, in addition to his tremendous size. This marks the second consecutive season that Diaz has earned a spot on the #NECFB Preseason Team. Last season, he suffered a leg injury in preseason camp and ended up seeing action in in just six games, taking over the starting left tackle position in the last five games of the season. The 6-4, 235-pound Owens was named to the 2015 All-NEC Team following a breakout season that saw him lead the Seahawks in both receptions (29) and receiving yards (353). An athletic tight end, who combines outstanding size with good hands, quickness and agility, the upstate New York native recorded a career-high 131 yards on eight receptions and a touchdown vs. Bryant (11/7) last season.

#NECFB Preseason Poll Results 1. Duquesne (6) 2. Sacred Heart (1) 3. Saint Francis U 4. Bryant 5. Central Connecticut 6. Robert Morris 7. Wagner First place votes in parentheses ().

Owens, who capped the season with a five-catch, 57-yard effort at Sacred Heart (11/2), started all 11 games a season ago and caught at least one pass in 10 contests. A member of 2015 NEC Fall All-Academic Honor Roll, he enters the 2016 season with 53 career receptions for 586 yards (11.1 average) and three touchdowns in 33 games. The 6-1, 180-pound Rafano will be looking to build upon a stellar 2015 campaign in which he started all 11 games on the season and took all 68 of the Seahawks’ punts, totaling 2,689 punting yards on the year while averaging 39.5 yards per punt. In front of more than 56,000 fans at BYU (10/24), the totaled 425 punting yards on nine attempts, including five 50-plus yard efforts, highlighted by a career-long 57-yard boot. For the season, the 2015 NEC Fall All-Academic Honor Roll member recorded eight 50-plus yard punts.

The 2016 Seahawks, under the direction of second-year head coach Jason Houghtaling, open the season on Thursday, September 1 vs. St. Anselm College (NH) under the lights in a 6:00 p.m. start at Hameline Field. The Green & White will then host Concordia College (MI) on September 10 at Noon. Following a bye week, the Seahawks will conclude the opening month of the season by traveling to FBS member Boston College of the ACC on September 24. Led by Owens, along with fellow co-captain and fifth-year senior linebacker Najee Harris (Norristown, PA / Norristown), Wagner entertains NEC rival Sacred Heart on October 1 in a Homecoming clash at 6:00 p.m., before hosting Ivy League member Columbia on October 8 in another 6:00 p.m. start. The Green & White then hit the road for three consecutive games. On October 15, the Green & White travel to New Britain, CT to meet Central Connecticut in a 1:00 p.m. matchup before playing their third NEC game of the season at Bryant on October 22 at 1:00 p.m. Wagner closes out the month of October at FBS member UMass, before closing the season with three straight Noon NEC matchups. This pivotal three-game conference stretch begins at home vs. defending NEC champion Duquesne on November 5, continues at Robert Morris on November 12, and concludes with the regular season finale at home vs. Saint Francis U. The 11-game schedule features a cross-section of opponents who hail from four different classifications; FBS (Boston College and UMass), Division II (Saint Anselm), NAIA (Concordia) and FCS (Columbia, as well as the six NEC rivals).

the northeast conference ABOUT THE NORTHEAST CONFERENCE What is #NECPride #NECPride is about having pride in your team, your school and the will to succeed both on and off the field. #NECPride is about achievement, ambition, perseverance, community, passion, respect, determination, unity and teamwork. Northeast Conference History Now entering its 36th year as an NCAA Division I athletic entity, the Northeast Conference mission remains unchanged: to provide opportunities for student-athletes to achieve their fullest potential in the classroom, in athletic competition and in the community. Focusing on the areas of student-athlete achievement, academic excellence, integrity, sportsmanship, equity and diversity, innovation, community partnership and national engagement, the NEC has made significant strides in recent years under the leadership of Commissioner Noreen Morris. As the Conference builds around the theme of #NECPride, the 2016-17 academic year presents new opportunities for the NEC to stand out among its peers, while fostering a sense of pride amongst its student-athletes, coaches, administrators and fans. 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. 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. An Innovative Leader The #NECPride movement took on a different twist during the 2015-16 academic year. The NEC enthusiastically launched the #conNECt Campaign as a means of showcasing the five key parts of the student-athlete life that exist outside the lines: • Classroom Achievement • Community Involvement • Campus Life • Career Aspirations • Conference Camaraderie Through the initiative, which was derived from the #NECPride mantra and rests upon the five aforementioned ‘Cs,’ the Northeast Conference emphasized the overarching idea that being a NEC student-athlete is about more than wins and losses; it is about educating and developing the whole person. The NEC continues to embrace social media to attract and convey its message to a growing fan base. The Conference has built a loyal following on its Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat and YouTube pages, and the NEC Overtime! blog remains a popular destination spot for fans of the league. One of the landmark moments in Northeast Conference history came back in August, 2012 with the launch of NEC Front Row. The NEC’s state-of-the-art digital network debuted to rave reviews and in the three years since has attracted a loyal following for its rich set of content, which includes live regular season and NEC Championship 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 conclusion of the 2015-16 academic year, over 2,900 live events had been broadcast on NEC Front Row with more than 1.1 million viewers tuning in to the network. NEC Front Row saw viewership increase for the third consecutive year in 2015-16, with an increase in ratings in nearly every NEC sponsored sport. A companion NEC on the Run iOS mobile app provides free, one-click access to live events and on-demand content from NEC Front Row. Fans can also join the conversation through the app’s social media integration. The NEC on the Run app can be downloaded on the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. For the fourth year in a row, the NEC hosted a Basketball “Social” Media Day at the state-of-the-art Barclays Center in Downtown Brooklyn. The program, which ceremoniously tipped off the 2015-16 hoops season, aired live on NEC Front Row and ESPN3. 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.

the northeast conference NEC Front Row was there when the basketball season tipped off at NEC “Social” Media Day, and returned for the climax as well via NEC Front Row Live! The online digital network was on the scene at the men’s and women’s title games, providing live pre- and post-game coverage wrapped around the ESPN broadcasts. The 2015-16 season saw the NEC host numerous GEICO Google+ Hangouts on Air, featuring one-on-one interviews with NEC student-athletes, coaches and media members. The Google+ Hangouts aired on a variety of social platforms, including NEC Front Row, Google+ and YouTube. As part of the NEC’s partnership with SnappyTV, the NEC was able to rapidly create and distribute in-game highlights from NEC Front Row broadcasts via the league’s social media channels. By year’s end, SnappyTV clips generated nearly 500,000 views, including a number of clips that went viral and were picked up by national outlets such as ESPN and CBS. Having provided an alternate take on the world of NEC sports since 2011, the NEC Overtime! Blog continued to be a favorite destination for fans of the Conference and its members. The blog showcases top news and the best of social media content from around the NEC, and served as a home for numerous fan-based promotions during the 201516 academic calendar, including the #NECSelfie contest as part of the NEC Basketball Tournament. The NEC launched its most comprehensive radio advertising campaign to date last winter. The NEC maintained a season-long radio presence in every market it serves, including New York (WFAN Sports Radio 66 & 101.9 FM), Pittsburgh (93.7 FM “The Fan”), Baltimore (CBS Radio/ESPN Radio), Hartford (ESPN Radio/Fox Sports Radio), Altoona (ESPN Radio) and Providence (WPRO). The NEC televised a league-record 34 basketball games in 2014-15. Every televised men’s basketball game aired nationally in some form on ESPNU, ESPN3, CBS College Sports or Fox College Sports (FCS), while women’s games aired exclusively on ESPN3. ESPN2 broadcast the NEC men’s basketball championship game for the 29th straight year, while ESPNU carried the women’s championship for the ninth year in a row. MSG has been the NEC’s flagship regional network for 16 years, and was joined by Root Pittsburgh, MASN and Comcast in airing an assortment of hoops games last season. As part of its long-term agreement with ESPN, the NEC televised a record eight football games exclusively on ESPN3 last season. Success in the Classroom It was yet another record-setting year for NEC’s 4,000+ student-athletes in the classroom. NEC student-athletes averaged a record 3.20 GPA for the 2015-16 academic year and 84 percent of NEC teams finished with a 3.0 GPA or better. Over 2,000 student-athletes were named to the NEC Academic Honor Roll in 2015-16, and more than 500 were tabbed to the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll with GPAs of 3.75 or higher. The NCAA honored 34 NEC teams with public recognition awards for exceptional academic performance with respect to their latest Academic Progress Rate scores. NEC institutions also ranked among the nation’s elite in Graduation Success Rate (GSR) figures released by the NCAA with 36 teams achieving a perfect 100 percent GSR in their respective sports and 50 percent earning a GSR of over 90 percent. Student-athletes at Sacred Heart posted a combined 3.33 GPAs to set a new NEC record and earn the 201516 NEC Institutional Academic Award. Athletic Achievement To have #NECPride is to live it, and NEC student-athletes did just that on the field of play during the 2015-16 season, a year that yielded 18 All-American selections and seven teams which earned national rankings in their respective sports. Sacred Heart won its first Brenda Weare Commissioner’s Cup since a five-year run at the top from 2007-12. The Pioneers also repeated as the Joan Martin Women’s Cup winner, marking the ninth such honor for SHU, the most in NEC history. Bryant won its third consecutive Men’s Cup. The NEC hosted its first-ever NCAA Championship this past April when the 2016 NCAA Bowling Championship came to Carolier Lanes in North Brunswick, NJ. The four-day, eight-team event concluded with Stephen F. Austin winning the national title live on ESPNU. It was another strong season for NEC women’s bowling. Remarkably, five of the NEC’s six bowling members were ranked among America’s best in NTCA Top-20 polls that were released during the 2015-16 season. Perennial national power Fairleigh Dickinson ranked as high as second in the country, and was joined by LIU Brooklyn (as high as 12th), Saint Francis U (12th), Sacred Heart (15th) and St. Francis Brooklyn (18th) this past season. Fairleigh Dickinson had a pair of women’s bowlers recognized by the NTCA as All-Americans. Melanie Hannon and Nicolette Sarin were tabbed Second Team All-Americans for the second straight year. Playing on the road before a packed house at the Spiro Center in Staten Island, second seeded Fairleigh Dickinson won its fifth NEC men’s basketball championship with an 87-79 victory over top-seeded Wagner. With the nation tuned in on ESPN2, head coach Greg Herenda and the Knights defied expectations after being picked ninth in the NEC preseason poll. This past season marked the fifth straight in which an NEC men’s basketball team has won a postseason game as Wagner went on the road to knock off top-seeded St. Bonaventure in the opening round of the Postseason NIT. The victory marked the third time in the last four years that an NEC team seeded eighth has knocked off a No. 1 in the NIT. Robert Morris ousted top-seeded St. John’s in 2014 and the Colonials defeated No. 1 Kentucky the year prior in perhaps the most memorable game in NEC history. In a fitting conclusion to a storied coaching career, RMU’s Sal Buscaglia guided the third-seeded Colonials to the NEC women’s basketball championship with a 56-51 win over Sacred Heart before a coast-to-coast audience on ESPNU. The title was the fourth for RMU under Buscaglia, who retired after 38 years on the sidelines. He spent 13 of those years at RMU, guiding his squads to a school record 224 victories. NEC women’s basketball sported the nation’s top point producer as well as the top freshman scorer in DI. Wagner’s Jasmine Nwajei averaged an NEC record-setting 29.0 ppg to finish atop the NCAA scoring list, while Saint Francis U freshman Jessica Kovatch contributed 20.9 ppg en-route to NEC Rookie of the Year honors. The Brendon Rodney era at LIU Brooklyn came to a close this spring, but what a ride it has been. For the sixth and seventh times in his storied career, Rodney earned first team All-American accolades following a fourth place finish in the 200 meters at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in March and a third place showing at NCAA Outdoors in June. Rodney went on to win the 200 at the Canadian National Championships to earn a spot in the Rio Olympics. LIU teammate Mica-Jonathan Petit-Homme (400h) earned the third All-America honor of his career after finishing seventh in the 400-meter hurdles at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. NEC football produced six All-Americans, including a first teamer in Duquesne linebacker Christian Kuntz. The Dukes represented the conference in the FCS playoffs for the first time, dropping a 52-49 decision to #13 William & Mary in a first round shootout. NEC men’s soccer sported three NSCAA All-Americans this past season. Robert Morris striker Neco Brett, Saint Francis U defender Francis de Vries and St. Francis Brooklyn midfielder Vincent Bezecourt were all tabbed to the NSCAA All-America third team. It marked back-to-back All-America nods for de Vries, who was also named the ECAC Defender of the Year.

the northeast conference The CCSU men’s cross country dynasty extended to seven as the Blue Devils delivered yet another dominant performance in winning the NEC title. CCSU is one of just three NEC sports programs to win seven straight conference championships, and the only men’s cross country program to do so. The string of seven straight titles matches Mount St. Mary’s women’s tennis (1989-95) and trails only Quinnipiac women’s cross country (eight straight, 2005-12). For the second straight year Sacred Heart completed the rare NEC “Triple Crown,” winning the women’s cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field championships. The Pioneers are the only school since 1997, and just fourth team overall, to win all three titles in the same academic year. It was a landmark year for Bryant baseball as the Bulldogs joined the national rankings for the first time and won a league record 47 games during the regular season en-route to the program’s third NEC title. At 47-10, the Bulldogs entered NCAA play with the highest win percentage in the country and tied for the most wins in DI. Bryant ranked as high as 15th nationally and earned a spot in four national polls. Bryant senior first baseman Robby Rinn and sophomore hurler James Karinchak were both named Louisville Slugger Second Team All-Americans. Karinchak (second team) and junior outfielder Matt Albanese (third team) were tabbed ABCA/Rawlings All-Americans. Bryant men’s lacrosse returned to the national rankings for the first time since 2014, reaching #20 in the Inside Lacrosse media poll. The Bulldogs handed NCAA Final Four participant Brown its lone regular season loss. A pair of NEC women’s lacrosse players found themselves in the national spotlight based on their career accomplishments. RMU senior Jessica Karwacki established a new NCAA career record for draw controls with 645 and Wagner senior Shea Gegan broke the NCAA career record for caused turnovers, finishing with 228 over her four years. Robert Morris senior April Krivoniak earned the unique distinction of being named NEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year in two distinct sports - the first such honoree in conference history - earning accolades in volleyball and indoor track and field. Mount St. Mary’s junior Kelly Yanucil claimed second team All-America honors following a ninth place finish in the javelin at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, OR. On Campus & In The Community The NEC welcomed the class of 2019 to campus last summer as part of its annual outreach program designed to raise awareness and develop the league’s growing fan base. Over 8,000 students across the Conference were provided with NEC-logo drawstring bags. Among the contents in the bag were promotional products and coupons donated by a number of the league’s corporate partners and contributing sponsors. The NEC, its member institutions and student-athletes have made community involvement an important piece of its mission. In 2015-16, the NEC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) spent time at the Children’s Cancer Recovery Foundation in Harrisburg, PA during its annual meeting. The SAAC hand-delivered a $11,587 check to the Children’s Cancer Recovery Foundation and also volunteered time to preparing care packages that went to children around the nation. The monetary donation to the Foundation, which assists children under age 18 and their families who are facing the hardships of a cancer diagnosis, was comprised of funds raised from the NEC SAAC’s annual Money Wars. For the fifth time in six years, Sacred Heart was the recipient of the NEC Building Communities award, presented by Bayer. 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. SHU logged 7,771 hours and conference members logged nearly 28,000 hours of community service over the course of the 2015-16 academic year. Bryant tennis player Max Vogt and Wagner swimmer Amanda Lucia were named the 2015-16 NEC Male and Female Student-Athletes of the Year, respectively, as presented by Provident Bank. The award recognizes individual excellence in both the academic and athletic realms as well as leadership and contributions to one’s community. Commitment to Sportsmanship The NEC continued its long-running 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. The NEC honored 22 teams for their commitment to sportsmanship during the 2015-16 academic year with Sacred Heart being honored a conference-best five times. Since the NEC Team Sportsmanship program was instituted in 2008-09, Saint Francis U has won a conference-best 32 awards. The Red Flash led the NEC in team sportsmanship honors each year from 2008-13. Enhancements & The Future In recent years, the NEC has taken aim at elevating the brand awareness of the league, improving the caliber of its championship events and enhancing the opportunities and experiences for student-athletes that compete in the Conference. Over the last five years, the NEC has raised its commitment to basketball through a host of strategic initiatives, most notably via a Brand and Basketball Enhancement fund and the implementation of state-of-the-art Daktronics LED signage at all arenas. This coming season, the Conference will utilize the Enhancement fund in part to provide NEC schools with additional national television exposures. The NEC will once again provide its members with a basketball marketing grant to help promote the sport at a grass-roots level and continue the upward growth in attendance since the grant’s inception during the 2011-12 academic year. The NEC relaunched its official website last fall with a streamlined look to better connect fans to the Conference and their favorite teams. Last summer the NEC built on the success of its annual NEC Social Media Day event at Barclays Center by hosting the first-ever NEC Football Social Media Day at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. The conference will be returning to both venues this year to ceremoniously kickoff and tipoff the respective seasons. The Conference listened to its fans two years ago and launched a series of upgrades to NEC Front Row. First and foremost, the digital network started broadcasting in true 720p HD, providing fans with an optimal viewing experience. Last year, the NEC provided camera upgrades for each institution and introduced a revamped, standardized graphics package for webcasts. The Conference plans to upgrade the Front Row backbone this year, providing an even smoother navigational experience for viewers. With the art of storytelling continuing to evolve and new distribution channels emerging, the NEC has bolstered its communications staff by hiring a Digital Media intern for the 2016-17 academic year.

GAME 1 Houston, TX – Rice option quarterback Driphus Jackson rushed for 93 yards on 15 carries and two touchdowns, while completing 10-of-19 passing for 123 yards as the Owls, who compete in the Football Bowl Championship Subdivision (FBS), ran past Wagner 56-16 in the 2015 season opener for both teams. A member of Conference USA, Rice was coming off a 2014 season that saw the Owls produce an 8-5 record, capped by a 30-6 victory over Fresno State in the Hawaii Bowl. “Rice has a great team and I think they did an excellent job,” said Jason Houghtaling, following his first game as Seahawk head coach. “We turned the ball over three times which was big and you can’t do that vs. a talented team like this. We have a bye week now which Box Score (Final) is good for us. We’ll take a long look at the film, see exactly what 2015 WAGNER FOOTBALL WAGNER vs RICE (Sep 05, 2015 at Houston, Texas) was going on and we’ve got to get better.

Later in the opening quarter, Luke Turner ran it in from three yards out to make it a 14-0 game. Wagner countered with a crisp offensive drive, as senior quarterback Chris Andrews directed a 10-play, 71-yard march that was capped by a 27-yard field goal by senior kicker Bryan Maley which drew the Seahawks to within 14-3. After Dillard put the finishing touches on a 93-yard drive with a 16-yard TD burst to make it 21-3, Jackson shook loose for a 43-yard scramble that extended the lead to 28-3 lead with 3:05 to go in the half. The Owls then took advantage of a Seahawk turnover to cap the first half scoring on a 35-yard pass play from Jackson to wide receiver Samuel Stewart, as Rice took a 35-3 lead into the locker room at halftime. In the third quarter, Seahawk freshman defensive back Sterling Lowry recovered a fumble at the Rice 37-yard line. On 3rd-and-7 from the Owl 34, Andrews found junior wide receiver Andre Yevchinecz on a pretty 34-yard scoring strike. The extra-point try was blocked, leaving the score at 35-9.

24 LAFAYETTE (1-3) -VS- WAGNER (0-3)

GAME 3 Staten Island, NY – Wagner sophomore quarterback Alex Thomson completed 15-of-23 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns, both to junior wide receiver Andre Yevchinecz, who had career highs with eight catches for 148 yards, but it was not enough as Lafayette overcame an early 14-point deficit to post a 35-24 comeback win over the Seahawks. The 6-4, 220-pound Thomson, who was making the first start of his collegiate career after coming off the bench in Wagner’s first two games, was also credited with 78 yards rushing on 14 attempts, with a long run of 23 yards. Defensively, senior strong safety Bruce Brittingham paced the Seahawks with a team-high eight tackles, including six solo stops and one pass breakup. Junior cornerback Tim Hayes and senior nose tackle Fidel Okoye, added six tackles apiece. The Seahawks (0-3) did a brilliant job all evening against the run, limiting the Leopards to just 58 yards on the ground on 33 carries while churning out 137 yards themselves on 35 attempts. Lafayette (1-3) did most of its damage through the air as quarterback Drew Reed completed 23-of-34 passes for 308 yards and four TDs with his favorite target being wide receiver Joey Chenoweth, who snared nine balls for 105 yards. On Wagner’s first possession of the game, Thomson led the Seahawks on a crisp 11-play, 75-yard drive, that consumed 5:49 and was capped by a 13-yard Thomson touchdown run. After the Seahawk defense forced Lafayette into a three-and-out, Yevchinecz returned a Lafayette punt 13 yards, giving Wagner excellent field position at its own 49-yard line. On the ensuing drive for the Green & White, Thomson hit Yevchinecz in stride on a pretty pass and catch that went for 51 yards and a touchdown, extending the Seahawks lead to 14-0 with 6:54 left in the opening quarter. The Leopards responded with an efficient nine-play, 72-yard march, culminating in a 15-yard touchdown pass from Reed to his tight end, Dylan Wadsworth, which cut the lead in half at 14-7. Following an exchange of punts, Thomson led the Seahawks on their third touchdown drive in four possessions. On the first play of the drive from the Seahawk 44, the rangy Thomson, who was also a standout high school basketball player, connected with junior wide receiver Keith Foster on a 29-yard strike down to the Lafayette 15. On third-and-11, Thomson found fifth-year senior wide receiver Ralph Greene in the back of the end zone for a 16-yard TD which put the Seahawks ahead by two scores at 21-7 with 12:53 to go in the half. That’s the way the score remained until Reed led the Leopards on a key seven-play, 64-yard touchdown drive with the final 22 yards coming on a connection between Reed and Chenoweth, that made it a 21-14 game at halftime. A pivotal play in the game occurred six minutes into the second half when Lafayette defensive back Matt Smalley jarred the ball loose from Seahawk senior running back Otis Wright as linebacker Mark Dodd pounced on it at the Wagner 43. After the Seahawks’ senior defensive line combination of Okoye and John Aubel stuffed Lafayette running back Kyle Mayfield for a one-yard loss on first down, Reed went up top to wide receiver C.J. Amill for a 44-yard score that tied the game at 21-21 with 7:04 left in the third quarter. Box Score (Final) Backed up to their own 15-yard line on their ensuing possession, the Seahawks were in business when Thomson and Yevchinecz combined on a 28-yard hook-up to the Wagner 43. Following a six-yard completion to Yevchinecz, junior running back Matthias McKinnon got the call on the next three plays, netting a combined 23 yards which moved the ball to the Lafayette 28. A Thomson 14-yard scamper made it 1st-and-10 at the Lafayette 14. Two runs then combined for seven yards, making it 3rd-and-3 from the seven-yard line, before an incompletion stalled the drive. Senior kicker Bryan Maley then came on to drill a 24-yard field goal, putting Wagner back into the lead at 24-21 with 2:06 remaining in the third quarter. The Leopards took the lead for good on their ensuing drive, which bridged the third and fourth quarters, as Reed led Lafayette on a nine-play, 64-yard march that took 3:54 and culminated in a twoyard TD pass from Reed to wide receiver Matt Mrazek. This score gave the visitors a 28-24 lead with 13:04 to go. That’s the way things remained until Lafayette defensive back Jared Roberts intercepted a Thomson pass and returned it 26 yards to the Seahawk 14. On the third play of the drive, Reed rushed it in for a 10-yard score with 2:23 left, fashioning the final score at 35-24.

6 ROBERT MORRIS (2-3 , 1-0) -VS- WAGNER (0-4 , 0-1)

GAME 4 Staten Island, NY – Connor Shennan booted a 19-yard field goal with 23 seconds left in the game to offset a dominant defensive effort by the Seahawks, and a 139-yard rushing day by junior running back Matthias McKinnon, in the Northeast Conference (NEC) opener for both teams. With the loss, the Seahawks are now 0-4 overall and 0-1 in league play while the Colonials improve to 2-3 on the season, 1-0 in conference. Despite the cold, blustery weather which featured wind gusts upwards of 30 miles per hour, fifth-year senior kicker Bryan Maley (Eagle River, Alaska/Chugiak) nailed a pair of first-half field goals, of 44 and 41 yards, respectively, giving the Seahawks a 6-0 lead midway through the second quarter and an eventual 6-3 halftime lead. Wagner held the lead until the 10:19 mark of the third quarter when Shennan’s second of three field goals, a 36-yarder, tied the game at 6-6. That ‘s the way the score remained until Shennan’s last-minute game-winning field goal, a boot that capped a 12 play, 65-yard drive for the Colonials, in which quarterback Tyler Brown accounted for 53 of the final 65 yards both rushing and passing. Brown finished the game with 132 total yards for Robert Morris (79 passing and 53 rushing). Cole Blake dded 89 yards rushing on 16 carries, including a game long 52-yard run. A pivotal play came when Seahawks were threatening to add to their 6-3 late first-half lead, having marched 63 yards in 11 plays. But on 3rd-and-1 from the RMU seven, a fumbled center exchange was recovered by the Colonials at their own 12 as the score remained 6-3 at halftime. McKinnon’s career-high rushing day came on 22 carries while fellow junior running back Brandon Peoples added 36 yards on nine carries. While the Seahawks were able to churn out a season-high 197 yards rushing, sophomore quarterback Alex Thomson was under duress all day in the passing game.The 6-4, 220-pound signal-caller, who entered the day with a sparkling 180.19 quarterback rating, was hurried into a 6-for14 afternoon for just 45 yards, while being sacked seven times.

26 WAGNER (0-5) -VS- COLUMBIA (1-3)

GAME 5 New York, NY – Wagner was unable to overcome a 17-0 deficit 12 minutes into the game as Columbia went on to record a 26-3 victory at Wien Stadium this evening. The Seahawks’ early hole led to a 26-3 deficit at halftime, which wound up being the game’s final score as the teams played to a 0-0 standstill in the second half. With quarterback Skyler Mornhinweg, a transfer from the University of Florida at the controls, the Lions marched 66 yards in 5 plays on the game’s first possession with running back Cameron Molina capping the drive with a six-yard touchdown run. On the Seahawks’ first offensive snap from their own 20 following the Columbia kick off, sophomore quarterback Alex Thomson bobbled the shotgun snap. Columbia linebacker, Max Keefe, the reigning Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week, scooped up the fumble at the Wagner two and ran into the end zone for a quick-strike touchdown. Keefe’s TD gave the Lions a 14-0 lead just 5:29 into the game. After picking up one first down on its second possession, the Seahawks were forced to punt. After Colinn Early fair caught a 46-yard punt from Seahawk junior Bryan Rafano, Mornhinweg led the Lions on a 10-play, 53-yard drive, culminating in a 20-yard field goal by Cameron Nizialek which gave Columbia 17-0 lead with 3:59 left in the opening quarter. Wagner moved the ball 41 yards on seven plays on its next possession, keyed by a 26-yard run from junior running back Matthias McKinnon. However, the drive ended when Thomas was unable to connect with fifth-year senior wide receiver Anthony Carrington on 4th-and-10 from the Lions’ 37-yard line as Columbia took over on downs. Mornhinweg then led Columbia on a five-play 63-yard touchdown drive, bursting free for a 32-yard run scoring run on a read-option play, that widened the Columbia lead to 24-0 with 13:05 remaining in Box Score (Final) 2015 WAGNER FOOTBALL the first half. This touchdown run was set up a 15-yard completion WAGNER vs Columbia (Oct 10, 2015 at New York, N.Y.) from Mornhinweg, who is the son of former New York Jets offensive Score by Quarters 1 2 3 4 Total WAGNER 0 3 0 0 3 coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, to wide receiver Scooter Hills. Columbia 17 9 0 0 26 Wagner senior kickoff returner Deangleo James then mishandled the ensuing kickoff in the end zone for a safety that made it a 26-0 game. After forcing a Columbia punt, the Seahawks put together their longest drive of the game. A 33-yard run by Thomson up the right sideline early in the drive, and an 11-yard strike to junior wide receiver Isaiah Gills late in the drive, helped set up a 23-yard field goal by fifth-year senior kicker Bryan Maley with 6:03 left in the opening stanza that made it a 26-3 game at halftime. Statistically, McKinnon led the Seahawks on the ground with 62 yards on 11 carries.

GAME 6 Loretto, PA – Quarterback Zack Drayer completed 16-of-28 passes for 292 yards and three touchdowns in leading Saint Francis U (SFU) to a 43-14 Northeast Conference (NEC) victory at chilly DeGol Field. With Wagner trailing 26-7 late in the third quarter and SFU facing 4th-and-11 from its own 46, Seahawk senior linebackers Jarrid Williams and Najee Harris combined on a spectacular special teams play that made it a two-score game. Williams burst free up the middle to emphatically block an Andrew Zecca punt, with the ball bounding to the Red Flash 13, where Harris scooped it up and ran it in for a touchdown, making it a 26-14 game with 49 seconds left in the third quarter. The Red Flash answered with a five-yard TD reception by tight end Frank Failace, his third of the game, with 14:11 to play that made it 33-14, before running back Marcus Bagley extended the lead to 40-14 with a five-yard TD run with 9:44 to go. Red Flash kicker Lance Geesey then rounded out the scoring with 33-yard field goal with 3:47 left. Running back Khari Dickson, the 2014 NEC Offensive Player of the Year, led all rushers with 161 yards on 23 carries with one touchdown. For Wagner, sophomore quarterback Alex Thomson completed 12-of-25 passes for 11 yards and one touchdown while being sacked four times. The 6-4, 220-pound Jersey Shore product also led the Seahawks in rushing with 74 yards (51 net with minus 23 yards in sacks) on 10 carries, while junior running back Matthias McKinnon added 50 yards on 13 carries. In the receiving department, senior tight end Ryan Owens, a 2015 Preseason All-NEC selection, had three catches for 25 yards, while fifth-year senior wide receiver Anthony Carrington had three catches for 22 yards. Defensively, junior cornerback Tim Hayes, a transfer from the University of Wyoming, had a team and career-high eight tackles. Recording five stops apiece was the safety tandem of senior Bruce Brittingham and sophomore Kemani Howard. Junior punter Bryan Rafano had another strong performance, averaging 38.8 yards on eight punts, with a long of 47 yards and three punts downed inside the SFU 20-yard line. With the loss, the Seahawks fall to 0-6 on the season, 0-2 in NEC play, while the Red Flash move to 3-2 overall and are now 1-0 in the conference.

After Rafano pinned the Red Flash back on their own 3-yard line midway through the first quarter, SFU went 97 yards in five plays, keyed by a 60-yard connection between quarterback Zack Drayer and wide receiver Terell Smith that gave SFU a first down at the Wagner 10. On the very next play, Dryer found his tight end, Failace, in the end zone for a 10-yard score. The Red Flash then tried to catch Wagner off guard by running a quick two-point conversion try out of their kicking formation, but the Seahawks snuffed it out to keep the score at 6-0. Following an exchange of punts, Drayer led the Red Flash on a 9-play, 81-yard march, capped by his second TD pass to Failace, this one a five-yard score, to make it 13-0 with 11:36 left in the first half. On its ensuing possession, Wagner answered with a quick-strike 5-play, 60-yard drive, keyed by a 32-yard burst by McKinnon and capped by a 15-yard touchdown pass from Thomson to junior wide receiver Lloyd Smith.

35 WAGNER (0-8 , 0-3) -VS- DUQUESNE (6-3 , 3-1)

GAME 8 Pittsburgh, PA – Wagner took an early 7-0 lead and received a career-high 136 yards rushing from senior running back Otis Wright (Fort Lauderdale, FL/Dillard), but could not overcome three turnovers and an injury to sophomore quarterback Alex Thomson (Keyport, NJ/Keyport), in dropping a 35-17 decision at Duquesne in Northeast Conference (NEC) play at Rooney Field. In a close, competitive first half, the Seahawks had their running game going and, combined with a spirited defensive effort, trailed by just a 14-10 count at halftime. However, late in the second quarter, Thomson was shaken up and did not return. With senior quarterback Chris Andrews unavailable due to a leg injury sustained last week at BYU, and regular third-string quarterback, freshman Vin Aranda having suffered a season-ending leg injury earlier this month, Wagner turned to Tyler Loftus, who had never before taken a career snap. The sophomore completed 4-of-12 passes for 21 yards and led the Seahawks on a fourth-quarter touchdown drive but Duquesne wound up outscoring Wagner 21-7 in the second half en route to victory. Wagner ended up with a season-high 205 yards rushing on a season-high 53 carries in the game. The Seahawks also ran a season-high 75 plays from scrimmage, held a decided 35:35-24:25 edge in time of possession, and led in first downs, 15-14. The Seahawk defense was opportunistic in coming up with two turnovers while junior punter Bryan Rafano continued his fine season, averaging 43.3 yards on seven boots. The Seahawks were sharp at the outset of the game as Thomson led the Green & White on a well-executed 13-play, 75-yard drive game-opening drive that he capped with a six-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Lloyd Smith for an early 7-0 lead. Wright gained 32 yards on seven carries during the drive while Thomson and junior running back Matthias McKinnonn carried two times each for 21 and 16 yards, respectively. Later in the opening quarter, following a Duquesne punt, the Seahawks drove 30 yards in eight plays. Faced with a 4th-and-4 at the Dukes’ 31, senior kicker Bryan Maley came on but his 48-yard field goal was wide, leaving the score at 7-0. With Wagner holding that 7-0 lead and facing a 2nd-and-5 from its own 45, Duquesne defensive end Christian Kunz made a tremendous, momentum-changing play, deflecting a Thomson pass at the line of scrimmage, before corralling the ball for an interception that he returned to the Seahawk 16. Duquesne took advantage of the short field as running back Rafiq Douglas ran in it on the fifth play of the drive, from two yards out, to tie the game at 7-7. On the ensuing possession, a 27-yard completion from Thomson to junior wide receiver Andre Yevchinecz (Binghamton, NY/Binghamton) keyed an eight-play, 51-yard drive that stalled at the Dukes’ 25. Maley then came on to drill a 42-yard field goal which gave the Seahawks a 10-7 lead with 4:30 remaining in the first half. Duquesne countered with a quick-strike five-play, 75-yard drive in 1:47, capped by a 28-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dillon Buechel to wide receiver Chris King, that gave the Dukes a 14-10 halftime lead. Duquesne extended the lead to 21-10 on the opening drive of the second half when Douglas shook free on a 65-yard TD jaunt. Senior cornerback Deangelo James then followed up a first-quarter interception with another big play, returning the ensuing kickoff 43 yards up the right sideline, giving the Seahawks excellent field position at midfield. But on first down, Duquesne’s Trenton Coles stripped Wright of the ball with teammate Abner Roberts recovering.

Early in the fourth quarter, sophomore free safety Tyamonee Johnson came up with his first career interception, picking off Buechel at the Wagner 45, and returning it 33 yards to the Duquesne 22. After Loftus hit fifthyear senior wide receiver Ralph Greene for two yards and a first down at the Dukes’ four-yard line on 3rd-and-1, Wright scooted into the end zone on the next play to make it a two-score game at 28-17 with 8:12 to play. That’s the way the score remained until Buechel found wide receiver Wayne Capers in the back of the end zone for a 15-yard TD with 54 seconds remaining in the game, to fashion the final score at 35-17. Thomson wound up as Wagner’s second-leading rusher during his one half of action, gaining 51 yards on 11 attempts, while McKinnon added 33 yards on six carries.

GAME 9 Staten Island, NY – Bryant senior running back Ricardo McCray ran for 138 yards on 23 carries and two touchdowns while junior quarterback Dalton Easton threw for 236 yards and three scores in leading the Bulldogs to a 40-10 victory over Wagner at Hameline Field. For Wagner, sophomore quarterback Alex Thomson, who practiced on a limited basis this week after being shaken up and forced to sit out the second half of last week’s game at Duquesne, completed 13-of-28 passes for 170 yards and one touchdown. Thomson’s 170-yrd passing day marked the second-highest output of his young career, surpassed only by his 219-yard effort vs. Lafayette back on September 26. His favorite target today was senior tight end Ryan Owens who delivered a virtuoso performance with eight catches for 131 yards, both career highs, including a 43-yard third-quarter touchdown reception. For the athletic 6-4, 235-pound Owens, a 2015 Preseason All-NEC selection, the 43-yard grab was also a career long, and he is now averaging 13.0 yards per reception on the year. Owens’ production today allowed him to assume the team lead in both receptions (22) and receiving yards (287). In the rushing department, Thomson scrambled for 78 gross rushing yards on 16 carries. With 28 yards of losses factored in on four sacks, the 6-5, 220-pound signal-called wound up being credited with 50 net yards on the day. Senior running back Otis Wright added 36 yards on nine carries, which computed to 4.0 yards per crack. Wright also delivered a would-be spectacular special teams play but his 94-yard, third-quarter kickoff return was negated by a holding penalty.

Also amassing eight tackles each, in sharing team-high honors, were senior strong safety Bruce Brittingham and junior cornerback Tim Hayes. Bryant struck first in this game, needing just 1:32 in moving 80 yards in four plays with Dalton hitting Taylor Barthelette on a 62-yard touchdown pass to make it 7-0. On Wagner’s play from scrimmage, Marquis Watson stripped the ball away from junior running back Matthias McKinnon with Charles Keenan recovering at the Bulldog 49. The Bulldogs then executed another quick-strike scoring drive, with wide receiver Jose DePadua hauling in a 24-yard TD pass from Dalton, to cap a three-play, 61-yard drive in 1:13, which made it a 14-0 score less than four minutes into the game. Later in the opening quarter, the Bulldogs put together a nine-play, 79-yard march, capped by a seven-yard touchdown toss from Easton to fullback Joe Fine in the left flat. After the extra-point try failed, Bryant led 20-0 after the opening stanza.

Following a scoreless second quarter that saw the Bulldogs take that 20-0 advantage into the locker room at intermission, Karl Sery picked off a Thomson pass on the first snap of the second half and returned it five yards to the Seahawk 40. Four plays later, McCray ran it in from 13 yards out to make it a 26-0 game with 12:53 to go in the third quarter.

CENTRAL CONNECTICUT (4-7 , 3-3) -VS- WAGNER (1-9 , 1-4)

GAME 10 Staten Island, NY – Senior running back Otis Wright rushed for a career-high 193 yards on 24 carries and senior defensive end Mike Mentor recorded nine tackles to spearhead a defensive effort that produced five sacks and four interceptions as Wagner put it all together in a convincing 28-7 win over Central Connecticut. A total of 22 seniors, all of whom were honored in a pre-game ceremony, took the field for the final time on Senior Day. Additionally, a host of them played significant roles in the Seahawks’ recording their first victory of the season, which marks the first victory under head coach, Jason Houghtaling. In dominating a Central Connecticut team that entered the game with a 3-2 Northeast Conference (NEC) record, Wagner moves to 1-4 in league play and 1-9 overall. The Green & White have one more game left on the schedule, a trip to Sacred Heart next Saturday for a Noon clash with the defending NEC champion Pioneers who are coming off of today’s impressive 28-19 win over Bryant. The Blue Devils, meanwhile, finish the 2015 campaign with an overall record of 4-7 and a 3-3 mark in conference play. Wagner got off to a fast start as sophomore quarterback Alex Thomson, scampered 40 yards up the right sideline into the endzone to give the Seahawks a 7-0 lead. For Thomson, the run was the longest of his career and capped a five-play, 55-yard, 2:43 drive. Following the Thomson touchdown, the Wagner defense delivered its first of many big plays on the afternoon. Sophomore free safety Tyamonee Johnson jarred the ball loose from CCSU running back Cameron Nash and was recovered by senior inside linebacker Stephon Font-Toomer at the Blue Devils’ 42-yard line. After three Wright carries, which accounted for 26 yards and a first down at the CCSU 13, Thomson delivered a 12-yard strike over the middle to fifth-year senior wide receiver Anthony Carrington, who was able to hold onto the ball in traffic and was brought down at the oneyard line. On the ensuing play, junior running back Matthias McKinnon bulled his way into the end zone, giving Wagner a 14-0 lead with 4:58 left in the first quarter. Picking up on the momentum from the offense, the Seahawks’ defense turned in another brilliant defensive effort on CCSU’s next possession when sophomore strong safety Jesse Flaherty registered his first career interception, after stepping in front of a pass thrown by CCSU QB Jacob Dolegala at the Seahawk 34 to thwart the Blue Devil drive. The score remained 14-0 favor of Wagner at halftime as both defenses didn’t allow a score. As they did on their game-opening drive, the Seahawks took the second half kickoff and marched right down the field. Wright started things off with a 14-yard burst and then two plays later, Thomson connected with Carrington on a 28-yard pass and catch, which gave the Seahawks a first down at the CCSU 20. Wright then found a seam up the middle in picking up another 16 yards, which gave the Seahawks a first and goal from the four-yard line. On the next play, the 5-10, Box Score (Final) 180-pound speedster completed the drive by taking the ball in 2015 WAGNER FOOTBALL for the score, giving the home team a 21-0 lead, and putting an Central Connecticut vs WAGNER (Nov 14, 2015 at Staten Island, NY) exclamation point on a five-play, 65-yard, 2:05 drive. Score by Quarters 1 2 3 4 Total With the momentum squarely back on Wagner’s side, the Seahawk defense forced a three and out and a CCSU punt. A pivotal play for the Seahawks occurred on a third-and-10 when Carrington reached back to make a twisting, acrobatic grab right at the first down marker at the Seahawk 37. Following a holding penalty, which made it 1st-and-16 from the Seahawk 31, Wright raced up the left sideline on a career-long 66-yard dash before being tripped up at three. McKinnon then cin on first down for his second score of the afternoon as Wagner opened a commanding 28-0 lead with 8:57 left in the third quarter. With 1:24 in the third, the Blue Devils striked for its lone score of the game as Dolegala connected with Courtney Rush in stride over the middle for a 53-yard touchdown, which made it 28-7. While the fourth quarter was scoreless, it did offer its share of drama, beginning with a CCSU drive down the field to the Wagner nine. After a rush from Dolegala gained no yards and back-toback incompletions, fourth-and-goal was facing the Blue Devils from the Seahawk nine. Dolegala was forced to throw on fourth down but the Wagner defense came up big again, as this time, junior cornerback Tim Hayes came away with the pick in the end zone. After the Wagner offense couldn’t muster anything on its ensuing possesion was forced to punt, Central’s Dan Hebert returned a punt 34 yards, as the visitors took over at the Seahawk 38. On first down, the Seahawk defense came away with its fourth INT of the day, as Hayes picked off Dolegala at the Seahawk 11-yard line.

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 studentathletes 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 burgeoning 20 varsity sports sponsored at Wagner College.

Brian Tracz - Assistant Athletic Director for Athlete Performance Brian Tracz became Wagner’s strength and conditioning director in May, 2014 following a one-year stint on the strength staff at Elon University. At Wagner, Tracz oversees the day-to-day supervision of a five-person staff in support of Wagner’s 20-sport athletic program in addition to serving as the head strength & conditioning director for the Seahawk football program. “We’re very excited to welcome Brian and have him direct our strength and conditioning efforts,” said Wagner Athletic Director/Head Football Coach Walt Hameline. “Brian has a proven track record of improving the strength and overall fitness levels of student-athletes while combining a positive and high-energy approach.” Tracz arrives at Wagner following a one-year stint on the strength staff at Elon University. Prior to his arrival at Elon, Tracz served as director of human performance at New Mexico Military Institute where e coordinated and implemented strength and conditioning programs for the football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, cross country, golf, tennis and track and field squads. His time at New Mexico Military Institute followed a five-year tenure at The Citadel, where he assisted nine varsity teams with program implementation, gaining experience with student-athletes in the sports of wrestling, baseball, football, track and field and basketball. Tracz also earned experience as a five-month intern at Fordham University where he assisted with the Rams’ football and basketball strength & conditioning programs. A 2008 graduate of Fordham, Tracz earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a concentration in finance. While at Fordham, Tracz was a two-year letter-winner as a defensive lineman after transferring from Indiana University. His play helped Fordham to earn the 2007 Patriot League title and a berth in the FCS Playoffs. Tracz was awarded his master’s degree in health, exercise and sport science from The Citadel in 2011.
