Hosted the final Presidential Debate of the 2008 campaign on October 15. The debate, which was televised world-wide from the Mack Sports Complex, was moderated by CBS News Correspondent Bob Schieffer.

Located close to the global business capital of New York City, the Frank G. Zarb School for Business will help you find your edge in business. The school is ranked among the top 75 M.B.A programs by Forbes magazine and features the Martin B. Greenburg Trading Room in C.V. Starr Hall. CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper visited Hofstra as part of the “Define ’09: New Challenges, New Solutions,” a year-long series of programs designed to examine the new presidential administration, its policies and initiatives, the challenges we currently face and ways of addressing our country’s most pressing issues. Cooper discussed “A 360-Degree Look at World Events” during his appearance at the John Cranford Adams Playhouse and also spoke privately to a group of students in a forum at Hofstra Hall. In 2007 Hofstra University President Stuart Rabinowitz and the North Shore-LIJ Health System President and Chief Executive Officer Michael J. Dowling joined to announce a unique and historic agreement to plan the establishment of a new medical school on Hofstra’s campus. Hofstra University School of Medicine, which hopes to admit its first class in 2011, is currently pursuing preliminary accreditation with the Liaison Committee on Medical Education and requisite New York State approval.

Head Wrestling Coach Tom Shifflet

om Shifflet, a four-time NCAA Championships qualifier and a threetime All-American as a student-athlete at Edinboro University, became the 10th head wrestling coach in Hofstra University’s storied wrestling history on May 17, 2006. He has recorded a 41-18-2 record in three seasons with the Pride. His first season as the Hofstra Head Wrestling Coach in 2006-07 was one for the record books. Shifflet directed the Pride to an 18-4-2 dual record, a final record season ranking of ninth, the program’s sixth straight Colonial Athletic Association championship and the school’s seventh consecutive conference title, an upset victory of top-ranked Minnesota in November, a sixth-place finish at the NWCA National Duals and, most importantly, a seventh-place finish at the 2007 NCAA Championships in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Along the way, the Pride developed four All-Americans, seven conference champions including the CAA Wrestler of the Year and the Rookie of the Year. For Shifflet’s efforts, he was named the Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year. In 2007-08 Shifflet directed the program to its 11th consecutive winning season with a 13-8 overall record and a 6-0 conference while leading Hofstra to its seventh straight CAA wrestling championship and eighth consecutive conference title. Along the way the Pride faced 13 Top 25 opponents and posted victories over #4 Iowa State, #13 Edinboro and #22 Old Dominion. Hofstra placed third at the Southern Scuffle, 10th in the Cliff Keen-Las Vegas Invitational, first in the CAA Championships with three conference champions and seven national qualifiers, and 15th in the NCAA Championships with two All-Americans and the Gorrarian Award winner.

Last season, Shifflet-faced with a rebuilding season-captured the University’s ninth consecutive conference championship with three champions, posted a 10-6 dual record and a 5-1 mark in the CAA and sent eight wrestlers to the NCAA Championships in St. Louis. He was also named CAA Coach of the Year. Shifflet came to Hofstra after four seasons as head wrestling coach at UNC Greensboro, where he was directly responsible for all aspects of the Spartans’ programs including instruction, recruiting, scheduling, academic counseling and community relations. His tenure at UNCG was marked by annual improvements in recruiting, recognition and success. He also created and organized the annual 35-team Southern Scuffle wrestling tournament, which is one of the largest and more competitive Division I regular season tournaments in the country. During his tenure at UNC Greensboro Shifflet recorded a 32-32 dual meet record and had nine wrestlers qualify for the NCAA Championships. A three-time AllAmerican and a fourtime national qualifier as a student-athlete at national powerhouse Edinboro University from 1992 through 1995, Shifflet began his coaching career as an assistant at Georgia State University in1995, helping the Panthers post back-to-back winning seasons, and develop three conference champions and four NCAA qualifiers. In 1997 Shifflet left Georgia State to begin a five-year tenure as an assistant coach at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. During his time with the Big Red, Shifflet coached 24 NCAA qualifiers, three NCAA All-Americans and helped head coach Rob Koll to a pair of Ivy League championships in 1999 and 2001. More importantly, Cornell was also consistently ranked among the nation’s top-15 programs. The final Big Red recruiting class that he was involved with placed fifth at the 2006 NCAA Championships in Oklahoma City. After five seasons at Cornell, the Amherst, New York native was named the head wrestling coach at UNC Greensboro

on May 17, 2002. After a typical transitional season in his first year at UNCG, Shifflet managed to sign one of the top recruiting classes in the nation in 2003. That class, which included one high school All-American, four honorable mention high school All-Americans and seven state champions, received an honorable mention based on InterMat’s 2003 final rankings. In 2003-04 the Spartans claimed their first winning season since 1998-99, posting a 9-6 overall record with the nine victories ranking as the third most in the program’s 12year history. In addition, two of his recruits, Kevin Artis (141 lbs.) and Daren Burns (197 lbs.), captured conference championships in their respective weight classes with Burns being named the Southern Conference Freshman of the Year. Shifflet guided UNCG to the most wins in school history during the 2004-05 season as the Spartans recorded a 12-5 overall record, 4-1 in the Southern Conference. He produced the Southern Conference Freshman of the Year for the second consecutive year as Joe Kemmerer earned the award following a 31-7 season. Kemmerer, along with teammates Daren Burns and Joe Lowe, each won their respective weight classes at the Southern Conference Mat Jam and qualified for the NCAA Tournament. In 2005-06 UNCG tied a school-record by sending four wrestlers to the NCAA Division I Championships in

Oklahoma City and the Spartans finished tied for 31st with Harvard in the final Championship standings. The Spartans finished the season with an 11-6 dual match record and a 4-1 mark in the Southern Conference and had two wrestlers miss out on all-American honors by one victory. Shifflet graduated from Edinboro University in 1995 with a degree in health and physical education. As a wrestler, he registered 118 wins for the Edinboro Fighting Scots and was coached by the legendary Bruce Baumgartner. Competing at 142 pounds, Shifflet finished seventh at nationals as a freshman, sixth as a sophomore and third as a senior. He is one of four three-time All-Americans in school history. Shifflet also received the Eastern Wrestling League Freshman of the Year Award in 1992 and the EWL Wrestler of the Year Award in 1995. He was inducted into both the Edinboro University and the EWL Halls of Fame in 2006. In 1996 Shifflet placed seventh in the final U.S. Olympic Trials in freestyle wrestling at 149.5 pounds. One year later he placed sixth in both the World Team Freestyle Trials and the U.S. Open. During July 2008 the Hofstra mentor served as an assistant coach for the New York State Junior National Freestyle Team that competed in Fargo, North Dakota. Shifflet and his wife, Alice, reside in East Setauket, New York, with their two children, Owen and Elouise.

In addition to his coaching and recruiting duties Anspach is in charge of budgeting, travel and the Prideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community outreach program. Anspach compiled a record of 69-51 and made two trips to the NCAA Championships during his five-year wrestling career at Hofstra. As a freshman in 1996-97 he recorded a 20-13 record, placed third in the ECWA Championshipslosing to the eventual champion Evan Dolan of Rider-

and was named to the ECWA All-Freshman Team at 158 pounds. A year later he posted an 18-12 mark placed third again in the ECWA Championships and captured the New York State Championships title at 167 pounds. After red-shirting in 1998-99 Anspach recorded his best collegiate season with a 20-15 mark, captured the ECWA title at 174 pounds to earn his first NCAA Championship bid. He also captured the title at the Congressional Cup in Washington, D.C. and placed second at the New York State Championships. As a senior in 2000-2001 Anspach posted an 11-11 record, finished second at the ECWA Championship, and earned a wild-card selection to the NCAA Championships. That season he also won his weight class at the Bearcat Open, compiling a perfect 4-0 record. The Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, native was a four-year member of the wrestling and football teams at Pine Grove Area High School where he placed fifth in the State Championships as a senior. Anspach, a resident of Hauppauge, New York, is a 2001 graduate of Hofstra University with a degree in American studies.

Assistant Coaches Assistant Coach Zach Tanelli

A University of Wisconsin graduate Tanelli placed fourth at the 2009 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in St. Louis, Missouri, in March. The Short Hills, New Jersey, native recorded a 6-2 record, including five straight victories, in the National Championships to earn his first All-America honor. Tanelli, who was the top-ranked wrestler at 141 pounds for eight weeks through the conference tournament, placed second in the Big 10 Championships. The 2008 Midlands champion finished the year with a 31-6 record, including a 15-1 mark in duals and a 7-0 record in the Big 10 and ranked second in the country. Tanelli earned his first NCAA Championship bid in 2007 as a wildcard after placing eighth in the Big Ten Championships. He recorded a 21-10 overall record including a 19-3 mark in dual matches and a 5-3 record in the Big 10. Tanelli also led the Badgers in dual points with 80. As a junior in 2007-08, he earned his second NCAA Championship bid by finishing fifth in the Big 10 Championships. Tanelli posted a 3-2 record at Nationals to finish the season with a 28-12 record including a 13-5 mark in duals and a 5-3 record in conference action. A two-time New Jersey State Championship runner-up out of Millburn High School, Tanelli notched an 8-3 record and captured the Pointer Open title as a red-shirt freshman at Wisconsin in 2005-06. During his four-year career at Wisconsin, Tanelli posted an 88-31 overall record including a 49-10 mark in duals and a 17-6 record in the Big 10.

Steve Bonanno

2009-10 Outlook

eading into the 2008-09 season, Hofstra Pride Head Wrestling Coach Tom Shifflet was faced with rebuilding a roster that lost five starters from the squad that captured a 15th-place national finish and its eighth consecutive conference title, including seven in the CAA, in 2008. Armed with 13 returning wrestlers, including several key red-shirt freshmen, and some talented newcomers, the Pride became battle-tested during the season. While Hofstra’s 63-consecutive conference match undefeated streak came to an end during the regular season, the Pride rebounded to make a late season charge to their eighth straight CAA Championship. With three conference champions, three finalists and two wrestlers earning at-large bids, the Pride was able to send the most wrestlers to the NCAA Championships since 2006. While several wrestlers fell just one match short of All-American honors, the optimism is high entering the 2009-10 season. Shifflet and his staff will face a new obstacle this season and that is depth. The Pride’s small roster of 20 could present problems should the injury bug hit the team. Hofstra is still relatively young with only three seniors, two of which are projected starters. But the Pride return 13 wrestlers, including six starters and five NCAA qualifiers, as they go after their 10th consecutive conference crown.

125 Steve Bonanno

Championship bid. The CAA All-Freshman team member led the team in tech falls, was tied for team-high honors with 13 decisions and was second with eight major decisions. Bonanno’s dedication, enthusiasm and hard-work could lead him to the All-America podium in the very near future. “Steve, as a true freshman, had a great season,” Shifflet said. “Having 29 wins and being competitive in every match, we were extremely proud of his effort and achievements. Steve had a couple of tough losses at nationals that would have put him on the All-America podium. But he has worked hard all summer and is excited and ready to compete this season.”

133

With three-time CAA champion and two-time NWCA AllAcademic Team selection Lou Ruggirello red-shirting this season, a good battle will be waged for the starting job at 133 pounds. Junior Jeff Rotella, who has served as a utility man of sorts – filling in at three weight classes – will battle New York State high school star Jamie Franco for the starting nod. Rotella was 6-13 on the season last year, but was 4-6 at his natural 133-pound weight class. The aggressive West Windsor, New Jersey, native has the experience and knowledge to help fill the void. Franco, a native of Monroe, New York, was a five-time New York State place winner including winning the state title in 2008. The Monroe-Woodbury High School graduate placed second in New York State as a freshman and a senior and tallied 208 victories during his scholastic career. Freshman Steve Barrere, from South Side High School in Rockville Centre, New York, will be looking to challenge Franco and Rotella. “With Lou Ruggirello and his pinning ability out of the lineup this season, we are obviously going to be giving away points in duals and tournaments,” Shifflet commented. “Lou’s taking the year to wrestle freestyle and get a little bit better in some areas that needed some work. But Jeff Rotella and Jamie Franco will square off for the starting job. The competition is good as both are hungry and motivated to fill Lou’s shoes.” Justin Accordino

The 125-pound weight class is one of those areas that could suffer from a lack of depth. Sophomore Steve Bonanno, who had an outstanding freshman season, returns to a starting role and is the only horse in the stable in 2009-10. The Wantagh, New York, native recorded a 29-15 record as a true freshman and was a finalist at the CAA Championships to earn a NCAA

141 With Justin Accordino moving up a weight class, another battle for the starting role, between red-shirt freshman Tyler Banks and true freshman Luke Vaith, is expected at 141 pounds. Banks, a three-time Connecticut State champion, returns after wrestling in only four matches, at 149, due to an injury in 2008-09. He’ll be pressed by three-time freestyle AllAmerican and four-time Minnesota State place winner Luke Vaith. The Hastings, Minnesota, native, who captured the state title as a senior, recorded a 198-19 record during his scholastic career. Freshman Daniel Manley, a two-time sectional all-star from Ardsley (NY) High School, will also be looking for time in a reserve role. “We have a couple of talented guys who will battle for the starting spot in Tyler and Luke,” Shifflet said. “Both are former state champions and are extremely motivated to win the job. The only thing they lack is college experience. They are both working hard and progressing daily.”

149

The 149-pound weight class is another place where an injury will cause someone to wrestle up. Sophomore Justin Accordino, an NCAA qualifier who received an at-large bid last season, moved up from 141 pounds to take over this class. The Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, native recorded a 2513 record last year and fell one win short of the All-America round at the NCAA Championships after placing third in the CAA Championships. “Justin is another guy who is selfmotivated and has brought himself to a leadership role on the team,” Shifflet says. “He is a great teammate who has worked hard here and at other camps this past summer to get better and prepare for the season. The staff is excited about his progress in many areas.”

157

Senior Jonny Bonilla-Bowman returns for his third and final season at Hofstra. The Pomona, New York, native, who tallied a 24-9 record last year, has captured three conference championships including two CAA crowns. He was another

Hofstra wrestler who fell one win short of making the AllAmerica stand last March. Ryan Colmer, a red-shirt freshman from Duncansville, Pennsylvania, posted a 3-4 record in open tournaments last year and will back-up Bonilla-Bowman. “Jonny Bonilla-Bowman is one of the guys on the team who leads by example,” Shifflet says. “He is always the last person out of the wrestling room and puts in the extra work needed to be a winner. He really has a love for the sport and it shows. He is a crowd-pleaser on the mat because people love to watch him wrestle. He’s aggressive and wrestles the full seven minutes. He has lost twice in the All-American round at nationals but we’re expecting great things from Jonny this season.”

165

The 165-pound weight class also sees wrestlers on the move as sophomore P.J. Gillespie jumps from 149 to 165 this season. The Long Beach, New York, native bounced back from an early season injury to make a late season run that led to him defeating the top three seeds for the CAA Championship at 149 pounds. Gillespie, the CAA Rookie of the Year, posted a 21-15 record and lost in the All-America round at the NCAA Championships. “P.J. is certainly big enough to wrestle at this weight class,” Shifflet explains. “He showed the discipline and dedication to the team to compete at 149 pounds last year and won the CAA title. He overcame some obstacles, including a shoulder injury, but stayed strong and had a solid finish. His NCAA Championship appearance last March should give him the confidence needed to know that he can reach the All-America stand.” Freshman Justin Patus, from Sachem North High School on Long Island, will back-up at 165.

the CAA Championships. “Ben is another one of those guys on the team who came really close last year,” Shifflet says. “He suffered a couple of close conference losses to eventual AllAmericans but fell a little short at the end of the season. It also showed him that he wasn’t far away. He knew the things that he needed to work on and took the summer to improve, and has the burning desire to become an All-American.” Clymer will be backed up by Nazareth, Pennsylvania, native and redshirt freshman Pat Murphy, who saw action in five matches last season.

vacant by the graduation of Alton Lucas. The Bohemia, New York, native posted a 22-10 record, placed third at the CAA Championships and earned an NCAA Championships at-large bid. He made the biggest noise on the first day at nationals with a victory over the top-seeded wrestler in the country. “Listening to Ryan after nationals last year, we believe moving him up to 174 is the right decision,” Shifflet says. “This gave him an opportunity to lift hard all summer and work on his technique and be more offensive this year. Together, we have made a commitment to get Ryan to Omaha in March and have success. He has worked very hard and put in the extra hours on the tactical and strategic part of his wrestling to get there. It should be an exciting season for Ryan.” Sophomore Lawrence Beckman, who wrestled in the first open tournament of the year before being sidelined for the remainder of the year with an elbow injury, will challenge Patrovich for the starting job. The Greenville, Pennsylvania, native was an all-state selection in high school. “We expect Lawrence to bounce back from his injury and compete for the starting job,” Shifflet said. “If he doesn’t win the job, we expect that we will be using him quite a bit with his talent and the strength of our schedule.”

184

Sophomore Ben Clymer is expected to return to his starting role at 184 pounds this season. The Germansville, Pennsylvania, native and former state champion posted a 2112 record and showed great promise while finishing third in

Fifth-year senior Anthony Tortora is the front-runner for the starting job at 197. The Chappaqua, New York, native wrestled at 184 pounds, posting a 12-11 record, and at 197, recording a 2-5 mark, last season. The former All-New York scholastic selection will get his first collegiate shot at being a starter. “Anthony wrestled up last year and did a nice job,” Shifflet said. “He is committed to winning, has a great attitude, is motivated, and has the opportunity to do great things in his final season. I have no doubt that Anthony is going to surprise some people this season.” Bridgewater, New Jersey, native and senior Jonathan Rothman, who has also served as a multiweight class utility wrestler during his Hofstra career, will challenge Tortora for the starting job.

285

The 285-pound weight class is a weight class that not only saw last year’s starter leave school, it is also a class short on depth. This leaves the door open for red-shirt freshman Paul Snyder to step in. The two-time Pennsylvania State Championship place winner was stymied by a knee injury last year and wrestled in just three open tournaments. But the Pride staff is confident in his abilities. “With his knee injury last year we decided it was best to red-shirt Paul and get him ready for this season,” Shifflet said. “He may start off slowly this season but, with additional match experience, we expect to see some great progress from Paul as the season moves along. He has a great attitude and has a great deal of potential.”

2009-10 Notebook SEASON 62 FOR THE PRIDE: The 2009-10 season marks the 62nd season of intercollegiate wrestling competition at Hofstra University. The Pride, who captured their ninth consecutive conference championship including eight in the Colonial Athletic Association, is coming off a 27th-place finish at the NCAA Championships last March. HOFSTRA RETURNEES: Hofstra returns 13 lettermen, six starters, six NCAA qualifiers, and three conference champions from the 2008-09 team. Returning starters include: senior Jonny Bonilla-Bowman at 157; junior Ryan Patrovich, who goes from 165 to 174 this year; and sophomores Steve Bonanno at 125, Ben Clymer at 184, Justin Accordino, who goes from 141 to 149, and P.J. Gillespie, who moves from 149 to 165 this season.

Bonilla-Bowman, Gillespie and Ruggirello captured CAA titles last season. THE TEAGUE RYAN WRESTLING COMPLEX: Hofstra will officially dedicate the Pride’s new Teague Ryan Wrestling Complex in ceremonies prior to the Ohio State match on January 3. The Pride moved into the Complex in September after a six-month renovation and addition to their training and office complex. Named in memory of former Hofstra coach Tom and Lynette Ryan’s youngest son who passed away suddenly at age 5 in February, 2004, the Teague Ryan Complex provides the program with the finest wrestling facility on Long Island and one of the best wrestling facilities

in the northeast. The new home of Pride Wrestling features: the Ray Downey, Sr. Wrestling Room, a totally rebuilt and accessorized new wrestling room; the adjacent new Rudy Fiorvanti Strength and Conditioning Room; a student-athlete lounge; a sports medicine area; and a refurbished coaches office suite. Downey, Chief, Special Operations for the New York City Fire Department, was killed in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Two of

Chief Downey’s sons, Joe and Ray, Jr., wrestled for Hofstra in the 1980s. Fiorvanti, who passed away in 2007, was a threesport athlete at Hofstra in the early 1970s who captained Pride teams in wrestling, football and lacrosse. PRIDE RANKED 11TH IN ATTENDANCE IN 2008-09: The David S. Mack Sports Complex, home of the Hofstra Pride, has become the center for college wrestling in the tri-state area. The Pride ranked 11th in the nation last year in home attendance at the Mack Sports Complex, averaging 1,303 fans in their five home matches. Hofstra jumped five places and 300 fans per match from their 2007-08 totals. The Pride will be bringing preseason #3 Ohio State, #8 Missouri, #22 Harvard and #24 Pennsylvania, as well as regional foes Buffalo, Lock Haven, Brown and Drexel to the Mack Sports Complex this season. The Pride has won 22 of its last 32 home matches dating back to the start of the 2003-04 season.

Bonilla-Bowman was 24-9 overall last season including 3-2 in the NCAA Championships. GILLESPIE RETURNS AFTER EARNING ROOKIE OF THE YEAR HONORS: Sophomore P.J. Gillespie, who earned CAA Rookie of the Year honors in 2008-09 after capturing the 149-pound title with dramatic victories over the top three seeds in the conference championship last March, returns to the Pride line-up this season and is expected to be the starter at 165 pounds this season. The Long Beach, New York native, who was 2-2 in his NCAA Championship debut, was also named to the CAA All-Freshman Team. RUGGIRELLO NWCA ALL-ACADEMIC TEAM MEMBER AND CAA SCHOLAR-ATHLETE OF THE YEAR: Pride senior Lou Ruggirello, who is expected to red-shirt this season, was named to the 2009 NWCA All-Academic Team as well as being voted the CAA Wrestling Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The Walden, New York native earned his third CAA title at 133 pounds last March and finished the season with a 30-5 record. He is 99-21 in three seasons with the Pride.

In October 2008, the eyes of the world were on Hofstra as the University hosted the final presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain.

Hayes’ proven expertise in enhancing academic and athletic success of student-athletes, strategic planning, fund-raising, marketing, university relations, facility enhancement, budgetary management, and NCAA compliance complements Hofstra University’s athletic department in its quest to further enhance its athletic program, and assist Hofstra’s student-athletes both on and off the field. The Hofstra Athletic program has flourished under Hayes’ leadership, winning 18 CAA Championships and making 24 postseason appearances since the 2004-05 academic year. In 2008-09 the Pride wrestling team won the CAA Championship for an eighth consecutive year, while the men’s lacrosse program advanced to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large selection. In addition, Hofstra hosted the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Quarterfinals in 2009, which saw nearly 12,000 people fill James M. Shuart Stadium for the event. Hayes has placed a significant emphasis on fund-raising during his tenure. Pride Club membership reached all-time highs, both in terms of the number of contributors and funds raised as the organization topped the $1 million mark in each of the last two years. Resources generated through fund-raising efforts have been used to enhance programs and facilities available to student-athletes. Recent initiatives include the construction of Hofstra’s new field hockey stadium, as well as the replacement

of the artificial turf in Shuart Stadium. Other recent renovations include locker rooms, the wrestling room, athletic training rooms in Margiotta Hall and the Physical Fitness Center, the basketball media room in the Mack Sports Complex and a press box at the Hofstra Soccer Stadium. In 2006 Hayes reintroduced the Hofstra Athletics Hall of Fame after more than a 50-year absence, inducting four classes since that time. He also led an effort to retire the uniform numbers of prominent Hofstra student-athletes with 20 jersey retirement ceremonies held during the 2008-09 academic year. Active on a national level, Hayes served on the NCAA Division I Lacrosse Committee from September 2006 to September 2008. Hayes came to Hofstra with more than 14 years of athletic administration experience, including management positions at four Division I institutions – Connecticut, Fordham, St. John’s and Fairfield. Hayes received a master’s degree in education in 1992 with a concentration in sport management from the University of Connecticut. He holds a bachelor’s degree (1989) from Providence College, where he was a member of Providence’s lacrosse team. He was also awarded a certificate of completion in 2001 from the Sports Management Institute, Consortium of the Universities of Michigan and Texas. A native of Providence, Rhode Island, Hayes graduated from the Providence Country Day School where he lettered in football, basketball and lacrosse. He was inducted, as a member of his high school basketball team, into the Providence Country Day Athletic Hall of Fame in October 2004. Hayes resides in East Northport, New York, with his wife Bridget, daughter Katie (7), and sons Matt (4) and Tommy (1).

Academic Support

ofstra University is committed to the pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. The University views participation in intercollegiate athletics as benefiting the student-athlete in an educationally enhancing experience beyond any other opportunity available. Hofstra also realizes the time commitment made by student-athletes and has committed the facilities and resources to support all students.

Area four is study halls. The University Tutorial Program provides all athletic study halls with tutors in various subjects and assesses the needs of individual student‑athletes to provide the most effective study environment. The assessment tool administered by the UTP is also used to provide various enrichment seminars for the student‑athletes such as time management, writing skills, campus resources, and surviving the college transition.

The University Tutorial Program (UTP) provides free tutoring in every subject area to any Hofstra student. Students are able to obtain up to 1 1/2 hours of individual tutorial assistance per week for each subject. They are also able to utilize the various help labs on campus, which specialize in providing assistance in writing, business and QM, and biology and chemistry. In addition to this service, studentathletes are assigned an academic advisor who helps address the various needs of student‑athletes. The academic advisor emphasizes four areas in their efforts to ensure the academic success of Hofstraís student-athletes.

In the fall of 1999 a computer lab opened on the second floor of Margiotta Hall. Funded in part by proceeds from the Joe Gardi Golf Open, the state-of-the-art computer lab and learning center features a projection system and 18 computer workstations, which are connected to the University network for easy research access to the Internet. The room was refurbished in 2005 with new furniture and computers. In addition to the Margiotta Hall computer lab, a new study area was constructed in 2006, located in the Physical Fitness Center, which features numerous computer workstations and office space for University academic advisement personnel.

difficulties arise.

Area one is academic counseling. Services are provided in the areas of academic planning, career planning, personal counseling, and campus and community referrals. The counselor also meets with prospective student‑athletes, at the coach’s request, to share the many benefits of a Hofstra University education. Area two is academic advising. In an effort to ease the demand on the Office of Advisement, the academic advisor also advises first‑year and undecided student‑athletes. Area three is academic monitoring. The UTP counselor monitors the academic progress of student‑athletes to ensure compliance with Hofstra University, NCAA and conference regulations. The counselorís regular communication with the faculty and coaches provide an opportunity for early intervention should academic

Sports Medicine/Athletic Training

hrough a comprehensive athletic training program, Hofstra University student-athletes are provided excellent health care during their attendance at the University. A coordinated effort between the University Health and Wellness Center, the Athletics Department and outside health care providers ensures every student-athlete the best medical attention possible. University student-athletes have direct access to a myriad of health care services. Managing the coverage of every practice and competition event is Hofstra University’s athletic training staff, which is led by seventh-year Head Athletic Trainer Evan Malings and features eight full-time athletic trainers and numerous student athletic trainers. The athletic trainers provide injury management, rehabilitation and treatment to the entire Athletic program. Utilizing three stateof-the-art athletic training rooms, these professionals work tirelessly to ensure the safe participation of Hofstra’s studentathletes and to return injured athletes to play quickly and safely. Supporting the athletic trainers is team physician Dr. Michael Yorio. Dr. Yorio, a physician with Pro Health Care, Inc. in Lake Success, New York, is in his first year on Hofstra’s medical team. Yorio is an internist with specialized training in sports medicine. He earned his undergraduate degree at Villanova University, and received his medical degree from the SUNY Health Science Center in Syracuse. Yorio previously served as a sports medicine fellow with the University of Maryland Orthopedics. Prior to that, he was a resident physician in internal medicine at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Yorio was named the Director of Player Medical Services for the 2008 U.S. Open Tennis Tournament in Flushing, New York, and is on the medical staff for the New York Islanders. He also worked as a team physician for the University of Maryland from 2003 to 2005. Hofstra University sponsors a fully accredited, highly competitive undergraduate degree program for athletic training majors, in which Hofstra student athletic trainers participate in all aspects of the health care system.

Hofstra Heritage The Symbols of Hofstra University The Shield Logo

In 2005 Hofstra introduced a new logo as part of a University-wide re-imaging. Both the University’s logo as well as the Pride logo were designed by advertising agency Powell New York, a full-service branding and marketing agency, noted as one of the ten firms to watch in 2005 in Advertising Age.

The new University logo features an “H” within a shield design. Hofstra University has always been known for both a tradition of academic excellence and a willingness to evolve to meet the needs of students and the greater society. This shield represents the University’s commitment to our heritage and a tradition of academic excellence, while the dynamic representation of the H within the shield embodies the evolutionary, changing nature of the University. Hofstra University has both honored its traditions and heritage while embracing changing disciplines, using new technology and remaining relevant to scholarly pursuits and the demands of industry.

The Seal

The Hofstra seal was designed from the royal Dutch emblem by art instructor Constant Van de Wall. The seal is modeled on the coat of arms of the House of Orange-Nassau. The round seal includes the coat of arms, flanked by lions on either side. A lion also stands in the center of the coat of arms, holding a sword in its right claw and a bundle of seven arrows, which represent the seven provinces of Holland, in its left. The seal also carries the motto of the House of Orange-Nassau in Old French: “Je maintiendray” (I stand steadfast). In 1988 one of the two lions on the seal was officially replaced with a lioness. The Hofstra seal is still in use today, though not as a logo. The seal will be affixed to formal documents, and used for official purposes such as commencement, convocations, and official University functions.

The Pride

Hofstra’s athletic teams are officially known as the Pride, providing our teams with a strong, consistent image that resonates with the Hofstra community. The new Hofstra Athletics logo consists of a graphic mark of a male and female lion in powerful, synchronized motion with the word mark of the Hofstra Pride or the specific sports team. This logo will be the only one used by Hofstra Athletics.

The Hofstra Pride refers to a pack of lions, male and female, which work together towards a common goal and symbolize determination and strength. The Pride conveys both the teamwork and togetherness that is a trait of lions living in prides, who have a close bond and work together for the good of the entire group. The teamwork evident in prides is a trait of Hofstra’s student-athletes, who support each other in furtherance of a common goal, while working tirelessly to represent their teams and, in turn, the University. Lions also possess speed, tenacity, and agility, and are relentless in their pursuit of a goal, which are traits our student-athletes demonstrate both on and off the field. The first consistent use of the word “Pride” relating to athletics was in 1989 when the University’s athletic booster club was founded and called itself The Pride Club, which at the time simply referred to the pride that alumni and fans had for our teams. The Pride identity has progressed over the past decade in a more specific fashion than just the expression of a feeling. After one lion on the Hofstra seal was changed into a lioness to symbolize gender equity, the University mascots -Kate and Willie Pride, a lioness and lion – were introduced.

Hofstra’s Dutch Heritage

Ties to Dutch heritage and the Netherlands began with William S. Hofstra, after whom the school is named and on whose property the University was started. William Hofstra died in 1932 and when his wife, Kate, died 16 months later, her will provided that their house, 15-acre estate, and bulk of her inheritance were to be used for a “public, charitable, benevolent, or scientific purpose” as a memorial to her husband. The idea for a college came from Truesdel Peck Calkins, former Hempstead superintendent of schools, who was then with New York University. He suggested that NYU might offer extension courses on the Hofstra property. Hofstra opened in September 1935, as a two-year extension branch of NYU; its official name was “Nassau College – Hofstra Memorial of New York University at Hempstead, Long Island.” When the doors opened, the sole building on campus was Hofstra’s mansion, which he had affectionately named the Netherlands after his homeland, and all classes were held there. The mansion, which houses administrative offices, is now the center of Hofstra’s 240-acre campus, and has been renamed Hofstra Hall.

Long Island has a rich history as an active, vibrant community, a summer playground, and home to some of New York’s most prominent families. Five distinct regions make up Long Island: • North Shore, otherwise known as the Gold Coast, with dozens of historic sites dating back to colonial days and Gatsby-era mansions. • South Shore, the Island’s spectator sports and entertainment center, with world-famous Jones and Fire Island Beaches, and home to the New York Islanders. • Central Suffolk, with beautiful forests and natural inlets, the world’s largest factory outlet center and a huge water park. • North Fork, with an array of vineyards, waterfront ports and farm stands. • South Fork, widely known as “The Hamptons,” with its pristine beaches and exclusive villages. You can catch a Hofstra shuttle bus to Jones Beach – a state park with six miles of gorgeous coastline, a boardwalk, swimming pools, golf and outdoor concerts. With everything from museums, historical sites and lighthouses, to sophisticated malls, designer outlets and shopping villages, to wineries and farm stands, to family fun parks, aquariums and zoos, there is plenty to do on Long Island.

n January 2, 2000 the Hofstra Wrestling program moved into the 5,045-seat Hofstra Arena, which was renamed the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition complex in 2006. Construction of the $15 million, 93,000 square-foot facility began in the fall of 1998 and was completed in December 1999. The Complex houses the Hofstra Basketball and Wrestling teams, and also hosts commencements, exhibitions, trade shows, concerts and other special events. “Mr. Mack has been extremely generous to Hofstra over the years, and the David S. Mack Arena will serve as just the latest reminder on our campus of that generosity,” said Hofstra University President Stuart Rabinowitz, referring to the David S. and Sondra Mack Student Center and Mack Hall, which houses the University Club. In October 2008 the Mack Sports Complex hosted the third and final debate between presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain, which was broadcast live around the world. The Mack Sports Complex includes full chair back seating for spectators in an arena configuration. The air-conditioned facility is equipped with a state-ofthe-art electronic scoreboard, men’s and women’s locker rooms, a media room, an athletic training room, a large weight room, dressing rooms for stage events, four concession stands, five ticket windows, six luxury boxes and offices for Hofstra’s athletic administration and basketball staffs.

Wrestling Facilities The Teague Ryan Wrestling Complex was completed in September 2009 and provides the Pride with one of the finest training facilities in the northeast. The project, which was named in honor of former Head Coach Tom Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Teague, who passed away tragically in 2004, features the Ray Downey, Sr. Wrestling Room, the Rudy Fiorvanti Strength and Conditioning Room, renovated office space for the coaching staff, an athletic training room, a student-athlete lounge and a refurbished team locker room.

2008-09 Summaries SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8 AT BROCKPORT/OKLAHOMA GOLD CLASSIC: The Pride recorded a fifth-place finish in the eightteam Brockport/ Oklahoma Gold Classic. Junior Lou Ruggirello and senior Alton Lucas captured individual titles and sophomore Ryan Patrovich placed third to lead the Pride. Ruggirello, who captured the Gorrarian Award for the most pins in the fastest time at last March’s NCAA Division I Championships, picked up where he left off winning the equivalent honor in this tournament with pins in all four of his matches in a total of 5:02. He pinned Danny Mitcheff from Kent State in 1:21 in the 133 pound final. Lucas, Hofstra lone returning All-American from last season, posted a 3-0 mark in the 174 pound class and defeated Oklahoma’s Jeff James in the championship final. Patrovich started the season off on the right foot with a 3-1 record and a third place finish at 165 pounds. Patrovich, whose only loss came to eventual champion Jarrod King from Edinboro in the championship semifinals, defeated Kent State’s Obie Simpson, 5-3, in the third place match. Red-shirt freshman Justin Accordino, who is replacing graduated All-American Charles Griffin, posted a 4-2 record in the tournament to place fourth at 141 pounds. He posted two pins in the Classic and both of his losses came to Kent State’s Drew Lashaway, including a 7-3 decision in the third place match. Five other Pride wrestlers placed sixth in the tournament as freshmen Steve Bonanno, at 125 pounds, P.J. Gillespie, at 149, and Jordan Enck, at 285, posted 3-3 marks while junior Jonny Bonilla-Bowman, at 157, was 2-0, and senior Anthony Tortora, at 184, was 2-3 in the Classic. Freshman Taylor Brown, at 125, and senior Jon Rothman, at 184, were 0-2 in the tournament. Red-shirt freshman Lawrence Beckman, at 174, also competed but was injured and did not post a record.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12 VS. WAGNER: The Hofstra Pride made their 2008-09 home debut a successful one with a 53-0 rout of the Seahawks of Wagner at the David S. Mack Sports Complex. The Pride posted five pins, three tech falls, and two major decisions to post their 14th consecutive victory over Wagner. After Pride freshman Steve Bonanno posted a 15-0 tech fall over Wagner freshman Jason Mandragona at 125 pounds, Hofstra recorded three consecutive pins led by junior Lou Ruggirello’s fifth fall of the year in as many outings at 133 pounds. Sophomore Jeff Rotella recorded his first career pin with a fall in 2:39 over freshman Jake Villaret at 141 pounds. Red-shirt freshman P.J. Gillespie posted his second fall of the season with a pin of sophomore Ryan Cornell in 4:36. Junior Jonny Bonilla-Bowman, ranked 15th at 157 pounds in the latest Intermat rankings, posted his third win of the season with a 21-8 major decision over sophomore Larry Peotter for a 27-0 lead at the intermission. The second half of the match was no better for the Seahawks as Hofstra sophomore Ryan Patrovich recorded a 16-4 major decision over senior Sean Quinn at 165. Hofstra’s returning All-American senior Alton Lucas, ranked sixth by Intermat, improved to 4-0 on the year with a pin of freshman Ryan Malloy in 2:15. At 184 pounds, freshman Ben Clymer made his Hofstra debut with a 17-0 tech fall victory over sophomore Peter Morano. Freshman Rob Piscitello recorded his first college fall with a pin of freshman Mark Wagner in 3:43 at 197 pounds. Freshman Jordan Enck closed out the match with a 15-0 tech fall of junior Angelo D’Amico in the heavyweight match.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15 AT #7 PENN STATE: The Pride posted victories in three of the final four matches of the day, including the deciding win by junior Lou Ruggirello in the contest finale, as Hofstra defeated #7 Penn State, 18-15, at Rec Hall.

Old Dominion junior Jesse Strawn also had an exciting day on the mats for the Monarchs, wrestling back in the consolation bracket. In his first match of the day, against Rider’s Mike Miller, Strawn and Miller were tied with just 10 seconds remaining in regulation when Strawn not only got the takedown, but got Miller on his back and scored a pin with just one second remaining.

The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 12 national players of the year, 12 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 20 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2008-09, the CAA had more than 1,700 of the league’s 4,000 student-athletes receive the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport. The conference ranked in the top 10 in the nation in 12 of its 23 sports in the latest APR report released by the NCAA. The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes six of the nation’s top 25 media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (7), Atlanta (8), Washington, D.C. (9) and Baltimore (25). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 20 million. The CAA currently sponsors 23 sports with the addition of a 12-team football league in 2007 and women’s rowing in 2009. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. In 2008-09, 28 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 45 student-athletes received All-America honors. The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with a league-record five teams advancing to postseason play in 2008-09. Conference champion VCU made its third NCAA Tournament appearance in the last six years, while George Mason reached the postseason for the seventh time in a decade in the NIT. Old Dominion, making its fifth straight postseason trip, captured the inaugural CIT championship, while James Madison made the CIT semifinals. Northeastern reached the quarterfinals of the CBI. In 2006, George Mason captured the nation’s imagination by becoming the first mid-major program since 1979 to reach the Final Four, knocking off powerhouses Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut along the way. The Patriots were ranked No. 8 in the final ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll, which was the highest ever for a CAA team. The CAA has had at least three women’s basketball teams participate in post-season play for the past four seasons. Drexel captured its first CAA championship in 2009 and was joined in the NCAA Tournament by VCU, giving the league multiple teams in the Big Dance for the second time in three years. James Madison earned a post-season berth for the fourth year in a row in the WNIT. Perennial power Old Dominion, which has won three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and was national runner-up in 1997,

claimed an NCAA-record 17 straight CAA titles before seeing its incredible streak come to an end last year. The conference also excels in many other sports. CAA squads have combined to win 10 field hockey national titles since the championship began in 1981. Delaware and Towson have each reached the Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship. Three women’s soccer teams have reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the past two seasons and at least one men’s soccer team has advanced to the final 16 of the NCAA Championship in five of the last seven years. In men’s cross country, William & Mary placed 16th nationally as a team in 2008 and Georgia State’s Mark Steeds earned AllAmerica status after a 12th-place individual effort. On the mat, ODU’s Ryan Williams was one of three wrestling All-Americans after finishing as the national runner-up at 141 pounds. The CAA has sent multiple teams to the NCAA Baseball Championship in nine of the last 12 years and has had 12 or more players selected in the last seven Major League Baseball drafts. The conference also boasts numerous All-Americans in tennis, golf, track and field and swimming and diving. CAA member institutions are committed to excellence in the classroom. The Colonial Academic Alliance was created in 2002 by the league’s presidents with a goal of expanding their partnership to all aspects of university life outside of intercollegiate athletics. Among the programs already established are an undergraduate research conference, coordination of study abroad programs and granting visiting academic status to student-athletes traveling to an away contest so that they have access to libraries, academic resource centers and computer labs. In 2002, two faculty members from CAA institutions were awarded academia’s most coveted distinction – the Nobel Prize. John B. Fenn, a research professor in the Department of Chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University, received the Nobel Prize for chemistry, and Vernon Smith, a professor of economics and law at George Mason University, shared the Nobel Prize in economic sciences. Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. The conference traces its roots back to 1983 when three of its current members- George Mason University, James Madison University, and the College of William and Mary were aligned with East Carolina University, the United States Naval Academy and the University of Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC South). During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquired two new members (the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and American University) and decided to form a new association. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985. Charter members George Mason, James Madison, UNC Wilmington and William and Mary were joined by Old Dominion University in 1991 and by Virginia Commonwealth University in 1995. The conference added the University of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra University and Towson University in 2001. Georgia State University and Northeastern University became members of the conference on July 1, 2005. Celebrating its 25th Anniversary, the CAA takes great pride in producing student-athletes who stand out on the playing field and in the classroom.

The History of Hofstra Wrestling

he history of Hofstra Wrestling, which dates back more than 60 years, began as a club team in 1946 and grew quickly to become nationally recognized within two decades.

The first season of Hofstra Wrestling saw Walter “Brick” Stone as the team’s head coach. In its first season as a club team, Hofstra went undefeated in six matches. Home matches were held at Hempstead High School. Three members who helped initiate the first team were Dick Bemson, Frank Fusco and Jim Geiger. Wrestling became a varsity sport during the 1947-48 season. That year Hofstra entered the NCAA Championships held at Lehigh University after compiling a 5-2-1 record. Under Stone’s direction, the wrestlers set a school record of 16 straight victories during the early 1950s. The 1951-52 squad suffered only two losses en route to a 10-2 season. One of the early program’s outstanding wrestlers was Art Strunk. The next Hofstra wrestlers to enter the national spotlight were Dan Notine and Pete Damone. In 1956 Notine became the first Hofstra wrestler to capture a coveted Middle Atlantic Conference Championship. Damone replaced Stone as the team’s coach in 1960. The early tradition of success continued during Damone’s sixyear reign as head coach. Damone produced several fine wrestlers, including Don Hannon (‘60), Tom Haseman (‘61), Dick Snyder (‘63) and Ken Robinson (‘64). The 1965-66 squad won the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Championship and crowned its first Metro title winner, Art Rudolph. In 1966 Bob Getchell became the program’s third coach. Getchell’s first squad produced two Metro Conference winners, Butch Jemmott and Ken Robinson. His second team won the Metro title with Jemmott, Dave Berman and Marty Willigan all taking individual titles, and wrestlers such as Steve Molello offering great contributions to the team. Willigan was named the 1968 Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler. He then went on to the NCAA Championships where he took fourth place, becoming Hofstra’s first All-American. In 1969 the team finished third in the Metropolitan and Middle Atlantic Conference Championships. Willigan captured second place in the NCAA Championships, losing in the final round to Iowa State’s legendary Dan Gable, the top wrestler in the United States. Gable would later coach Hofstra’s current head coach, Tom Ryan, while he attended Iowa. The wrestling program continued to develop under Getchell’s direction. Joel Kislin became Hofstra’s second All-American when he placed third at the NCAA Championships in 1973. In 1972-73, Hofstra hosted the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships and placed second. In the mid-1970s, standouts Nick Gallo, a 126-pounder, and Don Mayorga, a heavyweight, began to make their presence felt. They powered Hofstra to three East Coast Conference Championships. (The Middle Atlantic Conference formed the East Coast Conference during this time.) Gallo went on to become an alternate for the United States team in the 1976 Olympic Games. In 1977 he captured the NCAA Championship at 126 pounds. He also earned the Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler Award. Bob Getchell then left the coaching ranks to become Hofstra’s Director of Athletics. Al Bevilacqua replaced him and continued the winning tradition. Hofstra won six straight ECC Championships from

1975 through 1980. After missing a year at the top in 1981, Hofstra captured two more titles in 1982 and 1983. Hofstra standout Nick Gallo returned to his alma mater in 1979 to direct the program. In his five years at Hofstra, the team posted a 5732 record and captured three ECC championships. As head coach, Gallo sent 11 wrestlers to the NCAA Championships. Among these 11, Ed Pidgeon, a 1981 All-American, finished fourth nationally while Peter Capone, a two-time All-American, finished seventh and second at the NCAAs. Joe Bavaro took over the reigns as head coach from 1984 through 1987, and led the Dutchmen to another ECC Championship in 1985. Under Bavaro’s leadership, Capone, a 167-pounder, was named the ECC Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler. Mike Arena, a 150-pounder and three-time conference champion, was also named the ECC Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler under Bavaro. In 1987 former Hofstra wrestler and three-time conference champion Tony Arena replaced Joe Bavaro as head of the Hofstra Wrestling program. In his two years at Hofstra, Arena led the team to a 15-17-1 record. Javier Armengau returned to his alma mater in 1989 to take over the Flying Dutchmen program. Armengau wrestled under Gallo and Bavaro and was a three-time captain. As coach at Hofstra, Armengau guided wrestlers such as Ralph Tubello to outstanding careers. The 1992-93 season saw Tubello break 100 career wins and freshman Jason Wartinger become Hofstra’s second first team freshman AllAmerican. (The first was Mike Hogan in 1977.) Tom Ryan, a Long Island native and a two-time All-American at Iowa, took over the reigns of the program in 1995. Ryan brought in fine recruiting classes and in 1997 was able to coach three wrestlers – Joe Catalanotto, Ryan Edmundson and Mike Quaglio – to NCAA Tournament berths. Catalanotto won an automatic berth by winning the 126-pound title at the ECWA Championships, while Quaglio and Edmundson were at-large selections. In 1998 the Dutchmen were again well represented at the NCAA Championships. Sophomore Eric Schmiesing and senior Russell Jones both received at-large bids, while junior James Hieronymous and senior Mike Quaglio received automatic bids as ECWA Champions. Hofstra finished the year ranked 24th in the NCAA dual meet rankings. In 1999 Hofstra Wrestling reached new heights. Hofstra placed second at the ECWA Championships and crowned five individual champions who would represent the conference at the NCAA Championships. Roman Fleszar, Jason DeBruin, Eric Schmiesing and Zach Miller won four out of the first five weight classes, and a victory by Russell Jones gave the Flying Dutchmen their five champions. Roman Fleszar and Eric Schmiesing advanced to the quarterfinals at the NCAA Championships, lifting the Flying Dutchmen to a 26thplace finish out of the 79 competing institutions. Jason DeBruin was also named New York State Freshman of the Year after compiling a 43-8 record. Hofstra met and surpassed its 1999 accomplishments in 2000. The Pride crowned four ECWA Champions, Fleszar, Schmiesing, DeBruin and Rob Anspach, and sent six wrestlers to the NCAA Tournament. Fleszar and Schmiesing each placed at their respective weight classes, becoming Hofstra’s first All-American wrestlers since 1985. As a team, Hofstra placed 21 out of 73 teams. The Pride also won the New York State Championship for the second time in three years.

The History of Hofstra Wrestling 2001 saw Hofstra win its ninth ECWA Championship and first since 1983, and sent a then school-record seven wrestlers (Tom Noto, Roman Fleszar, Eric Schmiesing, Dennis Papadatos, Jason DeBruin, Noel Thompson and Rob Anspach) to the NCAA Tournament. Fleszar and Schmiesing repeated as All-Americans and the team placed 22nd overall at the NCAA. On the year, Hofstra finished ranked 15th in the nation. Tom Ryan was named ECWA Coach of the Year for the second straight year. The 2000-01 season also marked the final season of the ECWA, as the league merged with the Colonial Athletic Association beginning with the 2001-02 season. The Pride won the Colonial Athletic Association title in 2002 and sent seven wrestlers (Tom Noto, Jon Masa, Jason DeBruin, Paul Siemon, John Garriques, Ralph Everett and Chris Skretkowicz) to the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year. Noto, Masa and DeBruin each won individual championships at the CAA Tournament with DeBruin, the tournament’s most outstanding wrestler, becoming Hofstra’s first fourtime conference champion. Skretkowicz was named the CAA Rookie of the Year, while Tom Ryan was the CAA Co-Coach of the Year. The 2002-03 season once again saw Hofstra surpass the achievements of the last season as the team won the Colonial Athletic Association Championship for the second straight year, sent a school-record eight wrestlers (Pat Flynn, Ricky LaForge, Jon Masa, Mike Patrovich, Noel Thompson, Ralph Everett, Brad Christie and Chris Skretkowicz) to the NCAA Championships, and saw Masa and Skretkowicz come home All-Americans. In addition, LaForge was the CAA Championships co-Most Outstanding Wrestler and Tom Ryan won his fourth consecutive conference coach of the year award. In 2003-04 the Pride continued their winning ways with a 15-5 record in duals, extended their conference match winning streak to 34 by posting an 8-0 conference dual record, captured their third consecutive CAA Championship and in the process had four champions and tied the school mark by sending eight wrestlers (Tom Noto, John Manarte, James Strouse, Paul Siemon, Ralph Everett, Noel Thompson, Brad Christie, and Chris Skretkowicz) to the NCAA Championships in St. Louis. Skretkowicz, who was the CAA Wrestler of the Year, placed fifth to capture his second All-American award as Hofstra finished 20th in the final NCAA Championship standings. Coach Tom Ryan added his fifth straight conference Coach of the Year award to his trophy case. 2004-05 saw the Pride repeat as CAA champions, break the schoolrecord with nine NCAA qualifiers (Dave Tomasette, Charles Griffin, Ricky LaForge, Jon Masa, James Strouse, Mike Patrovich, Paul Siemon, Joe Rovelli, Chris Skretkowicz), place 17th at the NCAA’s as a team and compile a 13-5 dual meet record. Masa, who was named the CAA Wrestler of the Year, placed third at the NCAA Championship to earn All-America honors for the second time in his career. Hofstra swept the CAA awards as in addition to Masa, Griffin was named the CAA Rookie of the Year and Coach Ryan took home his sixth straight (four CAA and two ECWA) conference Coach of the Year Award. In 2005-06 the Pride took a giant leap toward the top 10 and finished in 11th place at the NCAA Championships, just one point out of a tie for ninth place. Hofstra, which prepared for the Championships with a challenging schedule all season long as its 11-9 dual meet record indicates and captured its fifth consecutive CAA title, winning seven individual titles and qualifying eight wrestlers for nationals. In addition, the Pride, for the first time in school history, had three All-Americans in Jon Masa, Mike Patrovich and Chris Weidman, and recorded the highest team finish (11th) and most points (52.3) at nationals. Patrovich, who finished fourth at the NCAA

Championships, would earn CAA Wrestler of the Year honors, Masa was named the CAA Championship Most Outstanding Wrestler, and Tom Ryan was named the CAA Coach of the Year. The 2006-07 season was another year for the record books. Under first-year coach Tom Shifflet the Pride set several school records including four All-Americans (Charles Griffin, Chris Weidman, James Strouse and Mike Patrovich) and a best-ever seventh-place finish at the NCAA championships. The tone of the season was set early when the Pride, competing against one of the toughest schedules in school history, defeated #1 Minnesota in the second week of the season at the Northeast Duals. Hofstra would wrestle 11 nationally-ranked opponents and post an 18-4-2 record in dual matches. The team won a sixth consecutive CAA title, posted a 3-2 record and a sixth place finish at the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals in Cedar Falls, Iowa; and a ninth-place finish at the 47-team Cliff Keen/Las Vegas Invitational with four Pride wrestlers placing in the top seven. Griffin would be named the CAA Wrestler of the Year, Patrovich the CAA Championship Tournament Most Outstanding Wrestler, Ruggirello the CAA Rookie of the Year, and Shifflet the CAA Coach of the Year. In 2007-08 the Pride posted their 11th consecutive winning season with a 13-8 record including victories over nationally-ranked opponents Iowa State (4th), Edinboro (13th), Old Dominion (22nd), Bloomsburg (25th) and Harvard (25th). They also went 2-1 at the Northeast Duals, placed third in the Southern Scuffle and 10th at the Cliff Keen/Las Vegas Invitational. Hofstra continued its conference excellence, extending its league undefeated dual match streak to 60 (59-0-1) by posting a perfect 6-0 regular season and then capturing its seventh consecutive CAA Championship and the eighth straight conference title overall. The Pride captured three individual CAA titles and Charles Griffin was named the CAA Wrestler of the Year for the second consecutive season. Seven Hofstra wrestlers competed in the NCAA Championships with Griffin (3rd) and Alton Lucas (8th) earning All-America honors and Lou Ruggirello, who became Hofstra’s first top-ranked wrestler early in the season, winning the Gorrarian Award at the national championships for the most pins in the shortest amount of time. The 2008-09 season was a rebuilding year for the Pride with six firsttime starters making their debut for Hofstra. The Pride defeated #7 Penn State and battled a pair of #5 teams in Missouri and Ohio State down to the wire before falling. But Hofstra’s 63-conference match undefeated streak, including 60 consecutive league wins came to an end in a loss to #21 Old Dominion at the CAA Duals. But the Pride regrouped for the CAA Championships to capture three individual conference titles, their eighth consecutive CAA team title and the ninth straight conference championship. Hofstra, which finished the regular season with a 10-6 overall mark and a 5-1 record in CAA duals, sent eight wrestlers to the NCAA Championships in St. Louis. Red-shirt freshman P.J. Gillespie was named the 2009 CAA Rookie of the Year, Tom Shifflet was voted the CAA Coach of the Year and newcomers Steve Bonanno, Justin Accordino, Ben Clymer, Jordan Enck and Gillespie were named to the CAA All-Freshman team.

Ray Downey Fund

THE RAY DOWNEY, SR. MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP AND WRESTLING FUND

he Hofstra University wrestling program is proud to honor the memory of an American hero FDNY Deputy Chief Ray Downey with the Ray Downey Memorial Scholarship. Chief Downey, who served as Chief of Special Operations Command, lost his life heroically during the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Ray Downey was appointed to the FDNY on April 7, 1962. In August 2001 he was placed in charge of all SOC (Special Operations Command) operations - Rescue, Squad, Haz Mat and Marine - and promoted to Deputy Chief. Chief Downey’s phenomenal 39-year career with the FDNY was built upon success after success and rescue after rescue. One of the most - if not the most decorated man in the Department, Chief Downey received five individual medals for valor and 16 unit citations. A devoted family man who lived in Deer Park, New York, with his wife, Rosalie; father of five married children, Joseph, Marie, Chuck, Ray Jr. and Kathy; and adored grandfather of nine, Chief Downey was an avid fan of the sport of wrestling and supporter of the Hofstra Wrestling program, where his sons Joe and Ray Jr. were outstanding athletes. Chief Downey loved wrestling, and he always attended their matches. He continued to support the Hofstra Wrestling program long after his sons graduated. After his passing the Downey family created a scholarship fund to honor Chief Downey’s memory. Funds contributed are used to endow scholarships in Chief Downey’s name and will provide financial assistance to the Hofstra University wrestling program. Chief Downey’s sons, Joseph, Chuck and Ray Jr., were successful athletes at Deer Park High School, and earned bachelor’s degrees from respected universities through athletic scholarship opportunities. Recipients of these funds will demonstrate the integrity, work ethic, discipline and courage that Deputy Chief Raymond Downey exemplified throughout his life. The 2009 recipient of the Ray Downey Scholarship Award was red-shirt freshman P.J. Gillespie from Long Beach, New York. The Ray Downey Sr. Memorial Scholarship Fund Day, which is scheduled for Sunday, January 31 against Ohio State, is a unique opportunity to honor Chief Downey’s memory as well as to support student-athletes.
