2009 Hartford Hawks Volleyball
2009 Hartford Volleyball Preview The Hartford volleybalL TEAM
team enters its fifth season under Coach Don Ferguson. The team will seek to continue its emergence as a force in the America East. “We have an experienced and well-tested group that has fought for and has earned respect from other programs,” said Ferguson. “We will look to continue our development throughout the non-conference schedule and prepare ourselves for what the America East has in store for us.” The experience of the team lies within the senior class. Senior Erin Macro, last season’s leading hitter, who ended the season second among point leaders in the conference, looks to have her best season yet and will continue to be a threat for the Hawks from the front row and service line. She is joined by senior Sarah Boss, the 2008 digs leader, who transitioned from the Libero position to a defense specialist role last season. Whether she serves as the defense specialist or the Libero this year, Boss should once again be among the team leaders in the dig category and help anchor the defense. Joining Macro and Boss for their final campaigns as Hawks are outside hitters Maddison Molyneux and Hallie Fullagar. The duo finished second and third on the team in kills last season. Both Fullagar and Molyneux will be asked to continue to expand their roles this year and further develop their games. “I’m extremely proud of this senior group and the culture
they have started to form within the volleyball program,” stated Ferguson. “They have all been dedicated to the betterment of the program and all have made great strides as students and as athletes. A lot of what happens this season will be determined by their ability to play ‘like seniors’ and guide their team in the right direction.” While Macro, Fullagar and Molyneux will lead the offense, they will continue to receive help from sophomore Michelle Cordell at the middle hitter and opposite side. Last season, Cordell was fourth on the team in kills. Her continued growth in the position should provide the Hawks with another up-tempo attack from the middle position. Sophomores Lindsay Makowicki and Sydney Scott saw some shared time at the opposite position last season. This season, both are viewed as utility players who will be able to contribute from any of the offensive positions. Directing the offense falls to the steady hands of junior setter Lindsay Ford, who was among the league leaders in assists a year ago. Ford assisted on 882 kills last season and became an offensive threat in her own right from the service line with 18 aces, while adding 51 kills. “Our offense this year should be the product of a year’s worth of work by our hitters and setter,” continued Ferguson. “These young ladies have spent a great deal of time with one another and should know each others tendencies.” The addition of a hitting threat was essential for Ferguson, and that addition comes in the form of outside hitter Kami Nethersole. Nethersole comes to Hartford looking to make a name for herself immediately as a threat from

The difficult job of defensive intensity will also rest in the hands of Fullagar and Molyneux, who are both expected to remain through all six rotations. Both players have had steadily increasing numbers in the digs category and will be looked upon to shoulder more responsibility defensively. “Our defense has steadily become better over the last two years,” continued Ferguson. “The most notable aspect this fall should be a rise in our blocking ability. We have focused more on our blocking techniques and skills over the spring and should see an increase in our ability to slow other teams down.” Macro and Cordell return as the leaders in blocks and blocks per game. Macro led all players with 52 total blocks as a junior-10 solo blocks and 42 blocks assists. Cordell finished her rookie season with 48 blocks, leading the team with 13 solo blocks and adding 35 block assists.
the outside. “Kami is an extremely talented athlete, with high leaping ability,” boasted Ferguson. “Her ability to hit multiple tempo shots should fit nicely into the offense. As she develops into the terminator that we believe she can be, our team will become more formidable.” Hartford’s offensive ability is not strictly dictated to the hitters. Last season, the team was among the leaders in the America East in service aces and Ferguson expects that to carry on. Macro and Fullagar return as the leaders in that category and will look to continue where they left off. “We made a conscious effort last year to integrate a more aggressive style of serving and that has clearly worked to our advantage,” said Ferguson.
“Although you never want to admit that you have been looking ahead in past years, this season is the one that the senior class and I have been focused on,” said Ferguson. “Many of our starters have experienced the joy of winning and the pains of losing. They have faced each obstacle in front of them as a united group.”

2009 Hartford Volleyball Preview
“I believe their experiences over the past three seasons have put them in a unique position to pursue greater accomplishments. Our sophomores are showing greater maturity, our upperclassmen seem hungrier than ever and we have added a legitimate offensive threat in our freshman. I’m extremely excited to see how far this team can go this year and how far we can really push ourselves!”
Defensively, Boss and sophomore Danielle Etta, the returning digs leaders, will lead the team. Boss led the Hawks in overall digs with 288, just ahead of Etta, who finished her rookie season with 259. By the seasons end, Boss had switched to a defensive specialist and Etta took on the Libero mantle. Most likely this will continue for 2009. “We play a physically demanding type of defense and it requires mental stamina,” commented Ferguson. “Both Sarah and Dani have demonstrated their ability to excel in these positions and we will use them in ways that will benefit our program best.”

Hartford and the Region Hartford and the Region
Dubbed “New England’s Rising Star,” Hartford is enjoying a renaissance fueled by the development of its riverfront. With retail and residential development taking off, downtown Hartford is poised to become a 24-hour hub of culture, arts, and entertainment. Within Hartford’s borders, one can tour the home of Mark Twain, mingle with 5,000-plus years of art at the Wadsworth Atheneum, and explore history at the oldest state house in the country. The Bushnell and Hartford Stage Company offer traveling Broadway shows and other award-winning productions. The XL Center and Comcast Theatre offer top-name concerts while the former is home to the American Hockey League’s Hartford Wolfpack. The Connecticut Convention Center offers an ideal new venue to make your event memorable, from intimate, upscale gatherings to large city-wide experiences. The surrounding Connecticut countryside offers unlimited and varied get-away possibilities, including skiing, spring garden tours, summer winery tours, fall festivals, and two of the world’s largest casino and entertainment complexes, Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Resort & Casino. Hartford boasts an extraordinarily active arts and entertainment scene with nearly 200 arts, cultural and heritage organizations. The experts agree: Places Rated Almanac ranked Hartford among the top six percent of North American cities for arts and culture. Greater Hartford also runs the 10th-largest United Arts Fund in the nation, demonstrating its strong commitment to the arts. It’s no wonder noted economist Richard Florida has ranked Hartford in the “Top 20” of cool places to live, work, start a family and have fun.
Professional Sports in Connecticut
Connecticut has been the home to many professional or semi-professional sports teams or events. The only current professional team in Connecticut is the Connecticut Sun, a member of the Women’s National Basketball Association. The CT Sun are housed in the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT. The Hartford Wolfpack, an American Hockey League affiliate for the New York Rangers (NHL), are one of two minor league teams who call Connecticut home. The New Britain Rock Cats (Minnesota Twins, MLB) also have their home field in Connecticut. Joining them on the semi-professional ranks is the Connecticut Crush (Women’s Football).
Transportation
Hartford is just a two-hour drive from New York or Boston. Bradley International Airport–gateway to Southern New England–is just minutes from the Capital City. The region is also a part of the AMTRAK system and is home to a number of major bus lines.
Lodgings
18
Downtown lodgings include the Hilton Hartford Hotel, Hartford Marriott, Crowne Plaza, Sheraton Hartford Hotel, Holiday Inn Express and the Residence Inn Downtown, which offer luxury hotel rooms within an easy walk of the convention center and Adriaen’s Landing. If that’s not enough, there are more than 6,000 hotel rooms within the Greater Hartford region offering visitors a variety of accommodations ranging from casino hotels to quaint New England inns.
Small Classes, Big Opportunity At the University of Hartford, classes are small, but the list of academic offerings is not. The University is a comprehensive, independent institution, offering educational and career programs in 89 undergraduate and 33 graduate areas of study in its seven schools and colleges. It prides itself on providing the intimacy of a liberal arts college with the creativity and intellectual excitement of a university. While the range of studies offered at the University is diverse, so, too, are the people. Enrolled are 4,842 full-time undergraduates, 853 part-time undergraduates, and 1,671 graduate students, representing 45 states and 49 countries. The full-time student-to-faculty ratio is 14:1.
Tradition The University of Hartford dates back to 1877, when the first of its original three schools was founded. The Hartford Art School (1877), Hillyer College (1879), and The Hartt School (1920) joined in 1957 to form the University of Hartford. The origins of the University can be traced back to the wife of Mark Twain. Mrs. Samuel Clemens, along with Harriett Beecher Stowe of Uncle Tom’s Cabin fame, formed an art society that later became the Hartford Art School.
Expansion The University has undertaken several ambitious building projects over the past half decade. A $34-million Integrated Science, Engineering, and Technology complex, which included major renovations to the adjacent Dana Hall (one of the original buildings on campus), opened in 2005. On its heels, new turf athletics fields brought a much different look to the opposite end of campus, benefitting students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community residents.

University of Hartford
The new Renée Samuels Center opened in January 2007, providing the Hartford Art School with new space for its photography and media arts programs. In fall 2007, Hawk Hall, a five-story residential facility for first-year students and its adjacent Alumni Plaza, a new outdoor gathering place for students, greeted students returning to campus. Now open just a mile from the University’s main campus, the Mort and Irma Handel Performing Arts Center houses five dance studios, four theatre rehearsal studios and two black box theatres. It is a vibrant center for dance and theatre instruction and performances at one of the key gateways to the city of Hartford. The University of Hartford also houses two public magnet schools on its campus—an elementary school for students from Hartford and several neighboring towns and University High School of Science and Engineering, which saw its legacy class graduate this past June.
Quality The University prides itself on its growing academic reputation, best illustrated by a consistent year-to-year increase in applications (more than 12,000 received annually) and selectivity (the University’s acceptance rate is lower than at any time in its history). The educational experience takes place in small, supportive classroom environments.
Location The charm of the suburbs and the opportunities of the city all come alive at the University of Hartford. Situated on a 340-acre, wooded, suburban campus, the University borders Hartford, West Hartford, and Bloomfield. Midway between Boston and New York City, downtown Hartford, only five miles away, is gaining a name for itself.
Campus Activities Numerous social, recreational, and entertainment alternatives exist for students on campus. More than 100 groups, clubs, and organizations, including campus media, student government, fraternities and sororities add to student life. The Campus Activities Team (CAT) is a student-run organization whose sole purpose is to schedule events for student enjoyment. The University of Hartford has gained a national reputation for the quality of cultural activities and fine-arts exhibits on its campus. The Hartt School and the Joseloff Gallery of the Hartford Art School are highly respected. Lincoln Theater, the Sports Center, and three auditoriums host numerous special events throughout the year.

University President Walter Harrison
Growth, 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 fundraising. More than 7,300 students (5,600 undergraduates and 1,700 graduate students) study at the seven schools and colleges of the niversity University of Hartford, which resident is classified as a doctoral research–intensive university by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The institution has seen a 15 percent increase in undergraduate enrollment, and a 23-percent increase in degrees awarded, over the past decade. A highly visible figure on campus, President Harrison is known for his enthusiasm for student life and University activities, and is fondly referred to as Walt by many students. 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 oval-shaped 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. The Handel Center, located in the Upper Albany and Blue Hills neighborhoods of Hartford, one mile east of the University’s campus, also contains space for community activities. Two buildings have been renovated to house two of the University’s leading liberal arts programs: Psychology (East Hall) and Communications and Cinema Studies (Abrahms Hall). In 2006, the University opened new state-of-the-art athletic fields for soccer, lacrosse, softball, and baseball. The University’s vibrant relationship with the Greater Hartford community is a hallmark of President Harrison’s tenure. The University has become a recognized leader in helping to improve 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
Walter Harrison U P
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.
Pat Meiser, in her 17th year at the University of Hartford, serves as the director of athletics and special assistant to the president. One of only 22 women director of athletics among the 329 institutions competing at the Division I level, Meiser has 38 years of experience in coaching and athletics administration. In June of 2009 she was named the Northeast Region I-AAA Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year award for the second time (2006), and pecial ssistant to in May of 1999, she was named one of the nation’s the resident top 50 women’s sports irector of thletics executives by Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal. At Hartford, Meiser heads a team that is responsible for growing the athletics and academic quality of the program, enhancing revenue and extending the program into the community. In Meiser’s tenure, seven sports (women’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s golf, women’s golf, men’s tennis and women’s volleyball) have won America East Conference championships and either reached NCAA Division I tournament or national postseason play. Basketball, in particular, has emerged with Meiser’s hiring of Jennifer Rizzotti and Dan Leibovitz. The women’s basketball team has been crowned America East Conference champion and reached the NCAA Tournament in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2008. The men’s team set a school record with 18 wins in 2007-08 and advanced to the America East Championship finals for the first time in school history. Revenue enhancement has also been an area of growth for Hartford under Meiser’s leadership. This has taken place through an expanded fund raising and alumni relations effort, development of a corporate sponsorship program, implementation of a licensing program and successful grant submissions. Most significantly, Hartford athletics embarked on a $10 million athletics capital campaign in April of 2003. The campaign, called Home Field Advantage, funded the renovation of the existing soccer and lacrosse field, the relocation and construction of a softball field, the construction of a baseball field and will include construction of a track surrounding an all-purpose field. The ground breaking for Home Field Advantage took place in April of 2005, and Phase I of the project was completed in 2007. Phase II is presently under way. Meiser’s commitment to academics is well documented and demonstrated through the success of her studentathletes. Hartford has been among the leaders in The America’s East’s Academic Cup standings each of the past 10 years. The Hawks won the Cup in 1996-97. This past academic year, the average student-athlete GPA was 2.98.

Reaching out in the community is important for Meiser. She is past chair of the Greater Hartford Convention and Visitors Bureau and her appointment came at a critical time as the city opened a $350 million convention center. Meiser was named a Connecticut “Woman of Merit” by the Girl Scouts in June 2000. She is a board member of both the Connecticut Special Olympics and the Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame. In October of 2007, Meiser served as Co-Chair of the CWHF Gala that celebrated the 35th anniversary of Title IX. The evening brought together the top female Olympians and national champions with ties to the state of Connecticut. Meiser has also been involved with various intercollegiate committees and organizations at the conference, regional and national levels. She serves on the Executive Committee of NACDA and is a past President of the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association (NACDA), has been a professional sport liaison, member of the soccer rules committee and active as a NCAA Certification representative. Over the years, she has also served a variety of roles in the America East Conference and is presently a member of the Executive Committee.

Reich Family Pavilion The University of Hartford honored the long-time commitment of Tom and Suzy Reich to the University’s Department of Athletics by naming the western portion of the sports center complex, “The Reich Family Pavilion.” The dedication ceremony was held in April 2004. The Pavilion was dedicated to the memory of Barbara J. Reich. “Tom and Suzy have a wonderful track record of making a difference in the lives of our young people,” said University President Walter Harrison. In addition to a $2 million lead gift to the University’s “Home Field Advantage” Campaign (which supported the construction of the outdoor athletics complex), the Reich family’s record of giving has included money for scholarships, grants, and annual support to various programs in the Department of Athletics. The Reich Family Athletics Development Fund, established in memory of Tom’s late wife, Barbara, provides student-athletes from the University’s less highly profiled teams with scholarships. This past year, six student-athletes benefited from the Reich’s generosity. “Tom and Suzy also give in ways that can’t be measured financially through their time, leadership, personal energy and support. They are our biggest fans,” said Director of Athletics Patricia H. Meiser. Included in the Reich Family Pavilion is the 3,508-seat Chase Arena, home to the University’s men’s and women’s basketball teams. Both the Chase Arena and the Reich Family Pavilion are part of the bigger Sports Center, which opened in 1990. With the opening, the University of Hartford reached a milestone: the ability to provide a comprehensive athletics complex that not only showcases the University’s intercollegiate programs but also provides resources for the entire campus community. The Sports Center encompasses 130,000 square feet of space and provides a home for intercollegiate and intramural athletics, fitness and health-related activities, and recreation and socializing for students, faculty, staff, and alumni. About 5,000 individuals alone use the Sports Center for wellness alternatives.
The Sports Center features an indoor swimming pool; courts for volleyball, badminton, squash, and racquetball; two multi-purpose rooms for intramural and recreational use, and two fitness and weight rooms. Six lighted tennis courts and an outdoor swimming pool are located behind the Sports Center, adjacent to the new outdoor athletics facility. The Sports Center also offers such amenities as a pro shop, meeting rooms, concession areas, saunas, locker rooms, and a study hall for student-athletes. The facility serves the community throughout the year by hosting numerous regional and national activities, including trade shows, high school graduations, dinners, and many other outside athletics events. Some 25 external events take place each year and draw an estimated 100,000 people to the campus. Located directly behind the Sports Center is a newly constructed outdoor athletics facility, which houses Al-Marzook Field (soccer, lacrosse) and the campus baseball and softball field. All three fields are turf surfaces, while an all-grass recreation field has also been constructed and can be used for team practices as well as intramural and recreation activities.
Hartford Volleyball Gym The University of Hartford volleyball team calls the auxiallry gymnasium within the Reich Family Pavilion its home. Within the auxillary gym is a court dedicated solely to the Hartford volleyball program for practice and competitions. Seating for approximately 500 spectators, within feet of the court, provides for a competitive advantage on game day. The auxillary gym is also used for intramural and recreation activities and is home to many events including National Women in Sports Day and Hawks Fest among others.

The University of Hartford celebrates its 26th year competing at the Division I level in 2008-09. Division I competition in all sports began in 1984-85, and the ensuing 25 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), 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). 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.

Strength & Conditioning The Hartford Hawks strength and conditioning program is designed to develop the best gains, in the least amount of time, in the safest way possible. It is the goal of the staff to develop both the muscular and cardiovascular systems in a manner that is compatible with the demands of competing as a Division I student-athlete. The hands-on approach not only increases safety in the weight room, but augments results of each athlete. The commitment from the coaching staff is the single most determining factor which maximizes results both in- and off-season. The methods endorsed at Hartford are based on research, physiological fact and years of experience. The college experience is a learning environment and the weight room is no different. The lessons that are learned in the weight room will be applicable to life once your playing days are over at Hartford. The purpose of the Hartford Hawks strength and conditioning program is to create a bigger, stronger, betterconditioned student-athlete that is less susceptible to injury.
