2011 Season Preview A young and dynamic Hartford baseball team has hopes high in West Hartford as the Hawks look to develop the great potential they have and return to the America East Championships. To do so, the Hawks will have to improve upon their 5-19 conference mark last season, a goal the team thinks is well within its reach. Four seniors graduated from last year’s squad and were replaced by a plethora of youth and versatility throughout the lineup and the defense, including eleven freshmen on the roster. Six of the rookies will be counted on to revitalize a pitching staff that suffered extensive injuries in the 2010 campaign. Head Coach Jeff Calcaterra is excited about the new additions to the team and what they potentially bring to enhance the Hawks’ chances of postseason play, but remains aware that the team has a lot of work ahead of it. “We have been getting better in the offseason,” Calcaterra commented, “but so has everyone else.” INFIELD The Hartford infield will see several combinations of players cycle their way through during the early part of the season as Calcaterra works to discern which players are the best fit for starting roles heading into the meat of the Hawks’ schedule. Seniors Matt Walker and Mike Aldrich will form a dynamic and powerful platoon at first base for Calcaterra’s Hawks. Walker hit .319 last season, including 38 hits and six home runs. He can also play at the hot corner of third base, and could fill in a corner outfield spot as well. Walker’s six home runs were second on the team last year, while his first base mate Aldrich also showed glimpses of his power with two long bombs. Aldrich was second on the team with 29 RBIs in 2010 and will see time primarily as a designated hitter when Walker is manning first base. The other corner of the infield is expected to be covered by junior Victor Santana. Santana, who missed the final nine games of 2010 with a rotator cuff injury, managed 14 RBI and 32 hits, leading the team with a .333 batting average. He could be the team’s designated hitter at the beginning of the season as he concludes his rehab, but Calcaterra listed him as one of the team’s best hitters, so his bat is expected to be in the lineup even when

he isn’t manning third base. Santana’s speed and athleticism will also be a boost on offense and defense as the season progresses. Redshirt-junior Simon Kudernatsch will be starting at shortstop and figures to see some time at second base as well. Kudernatsch only played in nine games last season before suffering a hand injury that ended his season, but drove in nine runs on 16 hits and a .471 batting average while he was in the lineup. He was named the America East Player of the Week during the Hawks’ first week of action. Calcaterra was quick to name Kudernatsch his most experienced infielder and an integral part of the keystone combination. Although there will be multiple players working to earn time around the infield, the most intense competition is expected to be played out at second base, where sophomore Erik Figueredo and freshman Brian Estevez will compete for the starting job. Calcaterra pointed out that Figueredo thrives on the offensive end, driving in eight runs last year in limited action, and that Estevez is the more defensive-oriented second baseman. Both are expected to see some time at second early in the season as Calcaterra searches for a starter. Senior Jason Freethey will be plugged in all over the field for the Hawks, both on offense and defense, as Calcaterra rotates for rest, depth and experience. A player Calcaterra described as the “uber utility guy,” Freethey was limited in action last year but still managed to drive in 10 runs in just 18 starts. Hartford will be relying on a freshman behind the plate for some of the season, allowing standout senior Andy Drexel to roam left field. James Alfonso will be filling the void, although Drexel will still see significant time behind the dish. According to Calcaterra, Alfonso will ensure that there is no defensive dropoff behind the plate, as he has impressed the coaching staff with his blocking ability and skill handling the pitching staff in the preseason. Freshman Brian Hunter comes to Hartford after being recruited primarily as a catcher, but the coaching staff has worked on converting him to an infielder since he set foot on campus last fall. Hunter will still see time in a reserve catching roll, but will also fill a valuable role at third base as Santana works his way back into the field. Hunter has
hartford hawks baseball
some pop in his bat and is athletic enough to play anywhere in the infield, giving the coaches some options when filling out the lineup card. Freshman Dylan Hardy will also backup the catchers, serving primarily as a bullpen catcher. OUTFIELD The Hawks’ outfield will be patrolled by some of the team’s most experienced and talented players, and should prove to be one of the strengths of the team. Although he is listed primarily as a catcher, senior Andy Drexel will see plenty of time in left field throughout the season. Drexel led the team last year with 12 home runs and 36 RBIs. He also knocked 15 doubles, leaving him just four twobaggers shy of the Hartford career record of 47. His arm and the range he covers in the outfield will be keys for the Hartford defense in 2011. Senior Rodger Wilmot will be tasked with patrolling center field, transitioning from his customary role in right. Wilmot was cited as one of the team’s best defensive players by Calcaterra, who feels that he will thrive in his new position due to his closing speed and athleticism. Wilmot batted in 23 runs last season and finished third on the team with 12 doubles. As there will be at second base, a healthy competition is expected to take shape in right field. Redshirt sophomore Chris Suchy was plagued by injury last year but has the early nod to start in right for the Hawks. Calcaterra believes his athletic ability, coupled with his presence at the plate as a lefty, will help earn him a permanent spot at the position. Freshmen Ryan Lukach and Mark Sorbara will be competing for a spot in right field with Suchy. Lukach is listed as a pitcher but has the ability and desire to play anywhere and still be effective at the plate. Sorbara was listed by Calcaterra as one of the better pure defensive players on the squad. PITCHING The pitching staff of the 2011 Hartford Hawks will provide one of the more interesting storylines throughout the season. A large crop of talented and versatile freshmen will bolster the Hawks’
2011 Season Preview pitching corps this year, with Calcaterra confident that the team can develop into one of the stronger staffs in the America East. Anthony Mannuccia was brought into a starting role last season and made marked improvements on his game throughout his freshman year. Now a sophomore, Mannuccia has an opportunity to make similar strides and settle into a role as the team’s ace. He posted a total ERA of 8.62, much of which was inflated by a tough nonconference schedule. Mannuccia turned it on during conference play, improving to a 4.03 ERA in the America East. Mannuccia closed out the season with his best performance, a 2-0 shutout victory over Albany that earned him the league’s Rookie of the Week award. Hopes are high for the sophomore, but as Calcaterra warned, “he’ll be our number one, but that means he’s going to have to go against everyone else’s number one. He’ll just have to out-throw their ace.” Junior Mike Thatcher looks to also improve on his 2010 campaign, with his experience helping him fill the role as the second starter on the team. The lefty finished the season with a 6.86 ERA, but just like Mannuccia he turned it on in the second half, averaging 4.93 earned runs in conference play. The play of Thatcher and Mannuccia will likely be pivotal to the team’s success in 2011. Much of the depth of the pitching staff will come from the incoming freshmen, as well as dual-players who can fill a defensive position as well as throw an inning or two when called upon. Alex Bulger will be the most experienced of the group of dual-players as a junior. He pitched just 16.2 innings of relief in 2010 but will likely see more time on the hill this year. Alex Gouin is one of the freshmen utility players who looks to see time all over the field. A powerful hitter, Gouin will get time at first base and third base and will also see a role as a pitcher. Gouin could earn a spot in the rotation, but will also be a valuable arm out of the bullpen. Senior Vincent Fiore will be competing with sophomores Brian Rice and Tyler Corsi, as well as freshmen Gouin, Kevin Veilleux and Hunter Englehart for the third and fourth spots in the rotation. Calcaterra expects the competition to be fierce and recognizes that all six have made improvements in the offseason, causing him headaches when deciding the best rotation. Fiore’s recent back injuries have placed him in the bullpen, but he is expected to get a shot at a starting role when healthy. SCHEDULE The Hartford Hawks face a 54-game slate in the 2011 season, including just 20 games at the friendly confines of Fiondella Field. The season kicks off on March 5 when the Hawks travel across the country to Oregon to take on the powerhouse Oregon State Beavers in a four-game set. Hartford will face the 2006 and 2007 national
champions in a series Calcaterra hopes will not only provide valuable experience as the team prepares for league play, but also will give the Hawks a chance to see how student-athletes go about their business at a championship level. Hartford has its home opener on March 9 against Central Connecticut before making a spring break road trip to the Mid-Atlantic. The Hawks will play three games at Radford and two in Virginia Tech before leaving Virginia for a three-game series at Delaware State on the return home. After their spring break trip, Hartford welcomes the Minutemen of the University of Massachusetts to Fiondella Field on March 23. That will be followed up with home-and-home doubleheaders with local rival Yale and a visit from the Connecticut Huskies on March 29. Hartford opens the month of April with a quick trip to NJIT for a doubleheader on the second of the month. The next day, the two teams will head up to West Hartford for another twin bill. Holy Cross closes the exclusively non-conference portion of the Hawks’ schedule when they visit Fiondella Field on April 5 for a single game. The quest for a return to the America East Championship begins in earnest on April 9, when the Hawks open their league schedule with a trip to Albany for a threegame weekend set. After a midweek tilt with Iona, the Hawks host their first conference games on April 16-17 when Maine visits for three contests. Trips to nearby Quinnipiac and Dartmouth will precede Hartford’s four-game series at Binghamton on April 23-24. The Bearcats were the regular season America East champs last year, finishing 21-3 in the conference including a four-game sweep at Fiondella Field in the two teams’ only meeting of the year. Albany makes its return trip to West Hartford next, playing three games on April 30 and May 1. After a single game with Dartmouth, the Hawks will welcome the defending America East champion Stony Brook Seawolves into Fiondella Field for a four-game series May 7-8. Stony Brook, which came into last year’s tournament as the third seed, defended its title when it defeated fourth-seeded Albany, 4-2, in the conference title game. Only one of the Hawks’ final nine games of the year will be at home, as Hartford visits Fairleigh Dickinson on May 11 followed by three games in Orono against the Maine Black Bears that weekend. Senior Day will come May 17, when Hartford hosts Rhode Island for a single game. The Hawks conclude the regular season in Baltimore on May 20-21, taking on the Retrievers of UMBC. For Calcaterra and the 2011 Hawks, there is a lot of optimism with a young team built around an experienced nucleus. A challenging non-conference slate should have the Hawks primed and ready for league play in April as they compete for the America East Championships.

JEFF CALCATERRA
HEAD COACH ~ SEVENTH SEASON Jeff Calcaterra took over as head baseball coach at the University of Hartford on December 1, 2004. He is the 12th head coach in program history and will begin his seventh season at the helm of the Hawks this spring. “This is a wonderful time for Hartford baseball,” said University President Walter Harrison. “Terrific coaches who are both knowledgeable and dedicated building a great program, and who care deeply about their student-athletes. A fantastic new field that is the equal of any in the Northeast. A competitive team that is capable of winning the America East Conference title. Even a university president who knows a little about baseball and wishes he were good enough to play for Hartford. If I had any eligibility left, I would love to be part of this team.” The talent that Calcaterra is able to recruit has been evident from Day One. His first full recruiting class, which

hartford hawks baseball
graduated in 2009, consisted of the program’s top pitcher and top hitter during his tenure, with five players cracking the top five in Hartford’s single season record book. Weston Szymanski led the pitching staff with a 3.38 ERA and was second on the team with 27 strikeouts in 2008. He finished tied for third in Hartford history with 17 wins. Ben Sobocinski led the team in batting with a .291 average and played in all 49 games. He finished with 51 hits in 175 at bats and drove in 19 runs. Sobocinski ranks second all-time in hits, just one behind all-time leader Earl Snyder (221), and third in assists (420). He also holds single season records in at bats (second, 186), hits (fifth, 62) and assists (second, 152). Brady Stouffer has placed himself all over the single season and career record books in his first two seasons. He holds single season records for at-bats (first - 192; fifth - 185), stolen bases (fourth - 16), sacrifices (second - 11) and assists (tied for third - 136). Stouffer has also reach career marks in stolen bases (third, 40), and assists (fourth, 393). Szymanski and Stouffer each received America East All-Rookie awards, while Sobocinski was an America East All-Conference Second Team selection in 2007.
In 2008, the Hawks increased their win total from the previous season in overall wins, 18 which is the most since 1996, and conference wins, 10. The Hawks conference winning percentage was the highest since the 1996 season. Expectations are high that the team will improve on those numbers this season. “We are pleased and excited to add Jeff Calcaterra to our staff,” said Director of Athletics Patricia H. Meiser at the time of his hire. “He brings a wealth of experience to our program as a player, coach and clinician. We believe Hartford baseball will experience a resurgence under his leadership.” In his 11-year tenure in the Big Ten, Calcaterra coached 20 players who were drafted and signed professional contracts. While at Indiana, Coach Cal helped guide the Indiana career (30) and single season (12) wins leader, Brian Partenhiemer, in 1997. His pitching staff led the Big Ten in strikeouts (456) in 1999, and had 2007 Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zach McClellan drafted in the third round in 2000. Calcaterra oversaw 28 players earn All-Big Ten honors, two Big Ten batting champions in Matt Braughler (1996) and Vasili Spanos (2003), Big Ten Player of the Year and third round draft pick Kennard Jones (2002), All-American Spanos (2003), and two-time Academic All-American Ryan Parker (2004, 2005). A Michigan native, Calcaterra was a three-sport athlete while attending Brother Rice High School in Birmingham, MI. He was named All-State in football and baseball his senior year. Coach Cal was recruited to play Division I football and baseball but chose to play college baseball at Indiana University. Calcaterra lettered four years at Indiana as a catcher from 1989-92, where he received his degree in sport management. A team captain for the Hoosiers, he garnered All-Big Ten honors in 1992 and was named the team’s most valuable defensive player. Calcaterra’s best season at Indiana came in his junior year, when he batted .322 with 10 doubles and 25 RBI. That season he also reeled off a streak in which he threw out 27 consecutive runners from behind the plate. Calcaterra was drafted by the New York Yankees and played for the minor league Gulf Coast Yankees in 1992 and 1993. He was converted into a pitcher in 1993, but sustained an arm injury that ended his career. Coach Calcaterra has become a regular on the coaching clinic circuit over his 13 years as a coach and has been
regarded as one of the best catching clinicians in the country. “Jeff is one of the best instructors and communicators in the game,” said Dick Birmingham, ABCA Hall of Fame coach. “He is a sought after clinician because he is very articulate and communicates well with coaches and players. He can offer a different aspect to both pitchers and catchers as one of the few players to play both positions.” “I have had the privilege to work with some of the finest coaches in the country, and without a doubt Coach Calcaterra is one of the best at any level,” said Chris Schroder, Owner/Manager Sho-Me Baseball, Branson, MO. “No staff would be complete without him.” Coach Cal has spoken at numerous clinics over the years, including West Chester Clinic, NY (1994, 2003), Indiana and Kentucky State Clinics (1995), Colorado State Coaches Clinic, Colorado Springs, CO (1999), Best of the Midwest, Toledo, OH (1999), ABCA National Convention, Atlanta, GA (1999), San Diego, CA (2003), Mid-Atlantic Baseball Clinic, Gaithersburg, MD (1999-2008), MCBA Coaches Clinic, Olney, MD (2006), the World Baseball Coaches Convention (January 2007 and 2008) at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT, the Oklahoma Baseball Coaches Association Clinic (February 2007), the Best of the West in Seattle, WA (November 2007), All Sports Coaches Clinic in San Francisco, CA (January 2009) and Seattle, WA (February 2009), the Palm Springs Coaches Clinic in Palm Springs, CA (September 2009) and the Massachusetts HS Baseball Coaches Association Clinic in Westborough, MA (January 2010). Jeff and his wife Karen have two children, 17-yearold John Liford and seven-year-old Anthony. His wife is a native of West Hartford, Conn.

INAKI ORMAECHEA
ASSISTANT COACH ~ FIFTH SEASON Inaki Ormaechea begins his fifth season at Hartford in 2011. He will work with the infielders and hitters and serve as the team’s bench coach. “Inaki has been a mainstay in our program for the past four years,” said Calcaterra. “He is one of the most dedicated and loyal coaches I have had the pleasure to work with. Coach Noc brings a fire and intensity that we need on a daily basis. He has pushed our players to perform at a higher level.” Ormaechea came to Hartford after serving as the batting and infielders coach for Siena College in 2005 and serving as the head junior varsity baseball coach at Eastern Connecticut State University. His other experience includes being a camp supervisor of Bill Holowaty’s Fundamental Baseball Camp and a coach with the Norwich Navigators

Ormaechea worked with hitters and infielders in the two-week tournament where he represented the United States against national teams of other countries. Ormaechea earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from ECSU, where he also played four years of varsity baseball. He served as co-captain in 2002 and helped bring his team to the national championship. After graduating he also played professional Spanish baseball for the San Inazio Basque team in the spring of 2003, where he led his team in home runs, hits and batting average.
JERRY SHANK
ASSISTANT COACH ~ SECOND SEASON Jerry Shank enters his second season as an assistant coach with Hartford in 2011. Shank will serve as the Hawks’ pitching coach and recruiting coordinator.
Conference Tournament each of the past two seasons, with the 2008 team winning a program-record 41 games. In 2008, Canisius earned its first regular-season MAAC title since 1994 and won the program’s first postseason game. In 2009, Canisius advanced to the MAAC Championship game for the first time in program history.
“I am very excited to announce the addition of Jerry Shank to our staff,” said Calcaterra at the time of Shank’s hiring. “Throughout the search process, Jerry exuded a passion for college baseball and will be a tireless worker and relentless recruiter. I also expect him to quickly develop a mutual respect and unique rapport with our players. I’m looking forward to working with Jerry and the impact he will have on our program”
While at Canisius, Shank had a pitcher named to allleague teams each of the past two seasons, with Shane Davis becoming the first pitcher in conference history to be named the MAAC Pitcher of the Year and MAAC Rookie of the Year in the same season. He was also a part of the recruitment of two incoming freshmen who were drafted in the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft.
Shank came to Hartford after serving as an assistant coach for two years at Canisius College. Previously, he spent two seasons at Ohio Valley University as the top assistant coach and recruiting coordinator, while also coaching the pitching staff. During his two years at Canisius, the Golden Griffins won 77 games (26th-most in the country), the most by any school in the Northeast region. Also, Canisius is one of 30 schools across the nation to win 35-plus games each of the past two seasons. The Golden Griffins advanced to the Metro Atlantic Athletic
The Fighting Scots appeared in the conference tournament in both of Shank’s seasons at Ohio Valley, winning the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 2006. Before his time at Ohio Valley, Shank was the top assistant at Eastern Mennonite University where he worked with the pitching staff. Shank played four seasons at the collegiate level. He started at Hampden-Sydney College where the Tigers advanced to the conference tournament in 2003 and then transferred to Eastern Mennonite for his final two seasons, where he graduated in 2005 with a degree in history. Shank also earned a Masters of Science in Sport Administration from Canisius College, a program he started while coaching the Golden Griffins and completed in 2010, his first season with the Hawks.

Stasaitis will work primarily with the outfielders and coach first base. “I am excited to add Brian to our staff and look forward to the contributions he will make to our program,” said Calcaterra. “He is a young coach who will add enthusiasm and drive to our players as well as a commitment to learn as a teacher of young men.” Stasaitis’ most recent experience comes as an assistant coach at Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, CT. While at Albertus Magnus, he worked with all aspects of the team including coaching first base, pre-game breakdowns of opponents, fundraising, recruiting, while working with infielders and outfielders.

Hawks in the Pros Jeff Bagwell
Jeff Bagwell, the 1994 National League Most Valuable Player, is the University of Hartford’s most prominent baseball alumnus. The recently retired Bagwell played third base for the Hawks from 1987 to 1989. He left as the program’s all-time leader in batting average (.413), runs batted in (126), and home runs (31). His career batting average was a New England collegiate record. Bagwell’s rise to majorleague stardom was swift. Drafted in the fourth round by the Boston Red Sox in 1989, he played two seasons in the Red Sox system before being traded to the Houston Astros at the very end of his 1990 season. The next spring, he earned a starting job - at first base - with the Astros and went on to win the National League’s Rookie-of-the-Year award that year. He was then the Opening Day first baseman for the Astros for 14 consecutive years. The 1994 campaign was the highlight of Bagwell’s 16-year major league career. Playing just 110 games, he led the majors in RBI (116) and was second among National League leaders in batting average (.368) and home runs (39). Bagwell won numerous postseason awards, culminating in his selection as National League MVP. In 2000, Bagwell belted a career-high 47 homers while driving in 132 runs and scoring 152 runs, becoming the first player in NL history and only the fifth in ML history to post a 45-homer, 100-RBI, 150-run season, joining Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Jimmie Foxx and Lou Gehrig. In 16 years, Bagwell hit .297 with 449 home runs, 1,529 RBI and 202 stolen bases. He is the Astros’ career leader in homers, batting average and slugging percentage (.540). Bagwell was selected to the All-Star team four times (1994, 1996, 1997, 1999). He posted six-straight 30-homer, 100-run, 100-RBI seasons (’96-’01), becoming just the fourth player in major league history to do so (the list includes Ruth, Gehrig and Foxx). He joins DiMaggio, Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson and Ted Williams as the only five players to record 300 homers, 1,000 RBI and 1,000 runs in their first 10 years of Major League Baseball.
Of Hartford’s 13 major league draftees or free agent signees (See Box), three are still involved in baseball. In addition to Bagwell (Astros organization) and Snyder, Gary LaRocque, a 1975 Milwaukee Brewers draftee, serves as a Senior Special Assistant to the General Manager for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Earl Snyder
In June of 1998, Earl Snyder ’98 was selected in the 36th round of the baseball amateur draft by the New York Mets. After attending extended spring training, Snyder was assigned to the Pittsfield Mets of the New YorkPenn League. In November of 2005 he was signed by the Cincinnati Reds to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. In 1999, Snyder moved on to Capital City of the South Atlantic League (A). He tied for the South Atlantic League lead with 28 homers, while placing second in RBI (97) and fifth in total bases (247). Snyder spent the 2000 season with the St. Lucie Mets of the Florida State League (A), where he batted .282 with 25 home runs and 93 RBI and was selected to play in the FSL All-Star game, which he won for his team with a game-winning two-out, two-run homer. Snyder was promoted to AA Binghamton for the 2001 season, playing in 114 games, batting .281, and finishing second on the team with 20 home runs and 75 RBI. He was promoted at the end of the season to AAA Norfolk, where he batted .474 in six games and participated in the International League playoffs. In 2002, Snyder was involved in the eight player trade that sent Roberto Alomar from the Cleveland Indians to the New York Mets. He had three stints with Cleveland and had a pinch-hit single on April 28 at Texas in his major league debut. He spent most of 2002 at Buffalo (AAA) where he led the team with 19 homers in 110 games. In 2003, Synder was claimed off waivers by the Boston Red Sox. He spent the 2003 season with the Pawtucket Red Sox (AAA), where he finished third in the International League with 22 homers. In 2004, Snyder tied the Pawtucket franchise record for homers in a season (36) while also setting the season record for RBI (104). He was called up to the 2004 World Champion Boston Red Sox where he started at third base against the Toronto Blue Jays on August 18. Hitless in his first three trips to the plate, he came up in the bottom of the eighth and singled to left field amidst a standing ovation from the Fenway Park capacity crowd. He joined the Cincinnati Reds organization in 2006, playing with the AAA Louisville Bats in the International League. Snyder is the Hartford record holder for career hits (222), home runs (53), RBI (173), total bases (423) and runs (146). He also owns five single-season records and is in the top five of 23 offensive categories.

HAWKSHISTORY ATHLETICS The University of Hartford celebrates its 27th year competing at the Division I level in 2009-10. Division I competition in all sports began in 1984-85, and the ensuing 26 years have been keynoted by success. The following is a sampling of some of the achievements. Hartford has fielded NCAA or national tournament teams in six sports: women’s basketball (2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010), men’s golf (198595, 2001, 2007), women’s soccer (1989-92, 1994-95, 1997-2002, 2006), men’s soccer (1991-92, 1996), men’s tennis (2002) and women’s volleyball (1993). The Hawks have also received ECAC postseason bids in baseball (1988, 1992) and volleyball (1991). The Hawks sport conference champions in seven sports: women’s basketball (2002, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008), men’s soccer (1991, 1992, 1996, 1999), women’s soccer (1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2006), men’s golf (1988-95, 2001-02, 2004, 2006-07), men’s tennis (1990, 1991, 1995, 2002), women’s golf (2005) and women’s volleyball (1993).
SARALYNN SMITH
hartford hawks baseball
In addition to team success, Hartford players and coaches have received a multitude of individual honors. The awards have ranged from All-American distinction and national Coach of the Year honors to conference Player of the Year, All-Conference, individual tournament championships and others. All-Americans have been crowned in the following sports: baseball (2), men’s basketball (1), men’s golf (6), men’s lacrosse (3), men’s soccer (2) and women’s soccer (11).
Three former Hartford student-athletes stand out among those who have played professionally. Vin Baker, who starred as an All-American on the basketball court for the Hawks, played 13 seasons in the NBA. A four-time NBA All-Star, he averaged 15.0 points and 7.4 rebounds per game in 791 career games. Baker was picked eighth overall in the June 1993 NBA draft. At the time he was the highest draft pick ever from a Connecticut college or university. Jeff Bagwell, who played third base for Hartford from 1987 to 1989 and is the New England career leader in batting average at .413, played first base for the Houston Astros. In his 16 years with the Astros he hit .297 with 449 home runs and 1,529 runs batted in. He ranks among Houston’s career leaders in batting average, slugging percentage, home runs and RBI. He was the 1994 National League MVP, 1991 Rookie of the Year, and was a four-time All-Star (1994, 1996, 1997, 1999). Men’s golfer Jerry Kelly, who topped the Nike Tour in earnings in 1995, has been impressive in his 12 years playing on
the PGA Tour. He’s topped $2 million in earnings in three of the past six seasons, and he played on the United States President’s Cup team in 2003. In 2002, Kelly was sixth on the PGA money list and finished in the Top 25 at 13 tournaments, including wins at the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Advil Western Open. Men’s golfers Tim Petrovic and Patrick Sheehan have also enjoyed success on the PGA Tour. Petrovic, now in his seventh season, broke through in 2005 with his first career victory at the Zurich Classic. Sheehan is in his fifth year on the PGA Tour and has topped $3 million in career earnings. Other Hartford athletes who are currently playing in the professional ranks include Tracey Kelusky (National Lacrosse League), Earl Snyder (minor league baseball), Chris Doyle (USL First Division soccer), Daniel Antunez (USL), Saralyn Smith (AVP), Rory Glaves (NLL), Todd Richard (NLL), Derek Suddons (NLL), Jason Clark (NLL), Josh Wasson (NLL) and Matt Holman (NLL).

WALTER HARRISON UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT G
rowth, vitality, and service to the community are key attributes of Walter Harrison’s first 10 years as president of the University of Hartford. Since his appointment as the University of Hartford’s fifth president in 1998, the University has experienced a period of energy and momentum unmatched in its history. President Harrison has overseen dramatic improvements in academic quality, finances, and
During President Harrison’s tenure, the University has undertaken a vigorous and comprehensive building campaign. Many of the University’s residence halls have been renovated, and Hawk Hall, the University’s new five-story, 208-bed residence for first-year students, was completed during the summer of 2007. The ovalshaped Alumni Plaza, constructed out of concrete of various colors and finishes, now provides students with a large gathering spot on the residential side of campus.
At the heart of this construction campaign are three major new additions to the University’s signature academic programs: The Renée Samuels Center of the Hartford Art School (opened in January 2007), the Integrated Science, Engineering, and Technology Complex (opened in 2005), and the Mort and Irma Handel Performing Arts Center (opened in September 2008), which houses the Dance and Theatre divisions of The Hartt School.

public schools. It is the only private university in the country with two public magnet schools on campus—the University of Hartford Magnet School and the University High School of Science and Engineering. President Harrison’s community involvement is extensive. He serves on the boards of directors of the Connecticut Conference of Independent Colleges and the Hartford Consortium of Higher Education. He is currently the president of the board of the Hartford Stage Company. He serves as trustee or director of a number of other Hartford-area organizations, including the Greater Hartford Arts Council, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, the Connecticut Science Center, and Suffield Academy. He is also a director of WorldBusiness Capital, an international finance firm based in Hartford. Reflecting his longtime interest in intercollegiate athletics, President Harrison chairs the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Committee on Academic Performance, the group charged with implementing academic reforms among the nation’s leading intercollegiate athletic programs, and serves on a number of other NCAA committees. He is the immediate past chair of the NCAA Executive Committee. He also serves on the Presidential Advisory Committee of the Association of Governing Boards. All this is a long way from President Harrison’s beginnings as a scholar of American literature and culture. A native of Pittsburgh, he graduated from Trinity College in Hartford in 1968, then earned a master’s degree from the University of Michigan in
1969. After an interim of three years to serve as a captain in the United States Air Force, President Harrison earned a doctorate from the University of California–Davis. His doctoral dissertation, “Out of Play: Baseball Fiction from Pulp to Art,” was one of the earliest scholarly treatments of baseball and its place in American life. In 1982 President Harrison left full-time teaching to take an administrative position at Colorado College. He joined Gehrung Associates University Relations Counselors in 1985, becoming president of the firm shortly thereafter. In 1989 President Harrison moved to the University of Michigan, where he became vice president of university relations and secretary of the university. President Harrison and his wife, Dianne, a scholar of 19th-century Victorian literature and mystery literature, make their home in Russell House, the president’s residence at the University of Hartford.

The philosophy we endorse as part of the Hartford Hawks strength and conditioning program is quite simple. We are seeking the best gains, in the least amount of time, in the safest way possible. All training sessions are supervised by the strength and conditioning staff to augment results and reduce any chance for injury. We endorse a variety of modalities, and forms of training, and are constantly looking to improve the program to make it more efficient. As a student-athlete your time will be limited due to class schedule, practice time, travel, homework, eating, sleeping, and hopefully some form of a social life.
