HEAD COACH KRISTA KILBURN-STEVESKEY
K
rista Kilburn-Steveskey is entering her 10th season as Hofstra’s head coach in 2015-16. She has averaged 17 wins per season since arriving on campus in 2006 while posting six winning seasons and leading the Pride to four appearances in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament, including an appearance in 2014-15. With a 153130 career record, Kilburn-Steveskey stands second on the Pride’s alltime wins list and her .540 winning percentage is fourth all-time.
Kilburn-Steveskey, who was named the 11th head women’s basketball coach at Hofstra University on May 16, 2006, led the Pride to the WNIT in 2007, 2010, 2012 and 2015, with a trip to the quarterfinals in 2007 and a second round visit in 2010. She also steered Hofstra to a team Division I-record 26 victories in 2006-07. She signed a multi-year contract extension in October 2013. In 2014-15 Hofstra went 20-13 and qualified for the WNIT in playing Penn in the first round. The Pride advanced to the CAA Championship title game for the first time since joining the league and added the team’s second-ever win over a nationally ranked program with a 63-62 road win at No. 23 James Madison. It was the third time a Hofstra team has won 20 games under Kilburn-Steveskey. A full seventy-five percent of Hofstra’s 20-win campaigns since the team’s first Division I season in 1982-83 (three-of-four) have come in her tenure. Both of Hofstra’s wins over nationally ranked programs have been coached by KilburnSteveskey. She has also coached the first Associated Press All-American in program history and has coached two CAA Rookies of the Year and six CAA All-Rookie Team members. Under her tutelage, Shante Evans earned four All-CAA selections (including three first-team picks). In 2012-13 Candace Bond became the first Hofstra player to win the
10 HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY
CAA’s Defensive Player of the Year award under Kilburn-Steveskey. Ashunae Durant was the 2014-15 CAA Rookie of the Year as well as a Metropolitan Rookie of the Year and Full Court’s Mid-Major Freshman of the Year. Hofstra has also been successful off the court under KilburnSteveskey’s watch, as 27 student-athletes have been named to the CAA All-Academic Team, including Anma Onyeuku in 2013-14. She and her teams have been highly active in charitable endeavors, supporting many local and national causes. Kilburn-Steveskey is active with the Interfaith Nutrition Network (The INN), a Long Island based food pantry. On a broader scope, Kilburn-Steveskey is a supporter of the WBCA’s Think Pink campaign and also participates in the annual 4Kay Golf Classic in honor of her former North Carolina State Coach Kay Yow. Evans, who was recruited by Kilburn-Steveskey, capped her collegiate career in impressive fashion in 2012-13 by setting Hofstra career records for points and rebounds while earning her third consecutive first team All-Met selection in 2013. The three-time honorable mention All-America selection set the CAA’s all-time leading rebounding mark with 1,348 and had the most double-doubles (69) of any active Division I player before exhausting her eligibility. The 2010-11 Hofstra squad went 19-12 and Evans was named an Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American, becoming the first AP All-American in program history. In addition, Evans was named to the USA Basketball team that competed at the Pan American Games in October. She was the first Hofstra Women›s Basketball player to represent USA Basketball in international competition. She was also named to the All-CAA first team and became the first sophomore in school history to reach the 1,000-point plateau. Evans went on to become the first 2,000-point scorer in Hofstra history. Hofstra compiled a 20-14 record in 2009-10 and the team upset Penn State on the road in the first round of the WNIT. The 2009-10 season also saw the emergence of Evans, who became the first Pride freshman to lead the team in scoring and rebounding since 1992-93.
HEAD COACH KRISTA KILBURN-STEVESKEY Kilburn-Steveskey took over a squad that posted 19 wins the year before she arrived (2005-06) and had made its first-ever Division I postseason appearance in the WNIT. Her 2006-07 squad took that success up a notch, finishing the year with a 26-8 record and advancing to the WNIT Quarterfinals with wins over Seton Hall and South Carolina. The team set records (Division I era only) for wins in a season, road wins (13), conference wins (13) and home wins (12). The 13 road wins led the nation and Hofstra’s semifinal appearance in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Tournament marked the first time since 1991 and 1992 that the Pride advanced to the semifinals of its conference tournament in back-to-back seasons. In arguably the greatest season in school history, Kilburn-Steveskey guided Hofstra to wins over teams from the Big 10 (Michigan State), Big East (Seton Hall) and Southeastern (South Carolina) conferences. In addition, the Pride’s stunning win over then-No. 17 Michigan State was Hofstra’s first-ever over a ranked opponent. Hofstra also notched the two longest win streaks in school history in 2006-07, as the team had streaks of 10 and eight games during the season. An 11-game home court win streak ranks as the longest in program history as well. In addition, Kilburn-Steveskey coached two all-conference selections in Cigi McCollin and Vanessa Gidden, and freshman Sam Brigham was named CAA All-Rookie. McCollin and Gidden also earned All-Metropolitan New York second team honors following the season. For her efforts Kilburn-Steveskey was the inaugural recipient of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Maggie Dixon Award in 2007, which is presented to the top first-year head coach in the nation. After a rebuilding year in 2007-08 Kilburn-Steveskey led her charges to a 16-14 campaign in 2008-09, and the 11-game improvement from
the 2007-08 season ranked as the fourth-best in the nation. Prior to coming to Hofstra, Kilburn-Steveskey was a member of the James Madison staff for four years and coordinated the Dukes recruiting and scheduling, as well as assisting with all facets of the Dukes’ program. She was instrumental in the recruitment of Tamera Young, a two-time All-CAA first team selection. Her strong play earned her an invitation to the USA U20 Women’s National Basketball Team Trials. She also helped recruit and develop Meredith Alexis, was also a first team All-CAA selection and is James Madison’s career leader in points and rebounds. In Kilburn-Steveskey’s last two seasons in Harrisonburg, James Madison won a total of 42 games and advanced to the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Championship game in 2005-06 and to the semifinals in 2004-05. The 42 wins were, at the time, the most in backto-back years for the Dukes since the program won 22 games in 1994-95 and 21 games the following season. Before taking her position at James Madison, Kilburn-Steveskey was a highly successful coach on the high school level, coaching the Wheeler High School girls’ basketball team in Marietta, Georgia, from 1996 through 2002. In her six seasons at Wheeler, Kilburn-Steveskey compiled a stellar 143-38 record (79 percent winning percentage) and won the 1998 AAAA state championship. She also led the team to a state quarterfinals appearance in 2001 and to the round of 16 in 1999 and 2000. Wheeler also won regional championships in 1998 and 2001.

Khan earned a promotion before the 2014-15 season and helped guide Hofstra to a 20-win season and an appearance in the WNIT in his first year as an associate head coach. A key member of Head Coach Krista Kilburn-Steveskey’s staff, Khan helped craft the game-plans and strategy that contributed to Hofstra’s secondever win over a nationally ranked program when the Pride bested No. 23 James Madison on the road.

D
enise King is entering her third season as an assistant coach at Hofstra in 2015-16. In her first season, she helped guide Anma Onyeuku and Annie Payton to AllCAA Third Team selections and Elo Edeferioka to a spot on the league’s all-rookie squad.
In 2014-15 King was part of the staff that guided Hofstra to the team’s first 20-win season since 2010. The Pride advanced to the CAA Championship title game for the first time since joining the league and qualified for the WNIT for the fourth time in program history. King’s preparation helped Hofstra post the second-ever win over a nationally ranked team in program history when the Pride bested No. 23 James Madison on the road. The 2014-15 season also saw King help Ashunae Durant win the CAA Rookie of the Year award as well as being named the Metropolitan Rookie of the Year and Full Court’s Mid-Major Freshman of the Year.

2015-16 OUTLOOK Hofstra went 20-13 and 11-7 in CAA play last season. The Pride also posted a road win over then-No. 23 James Madison and led the Dukes in the second half in the rematch in the CAA title game before falling just short. In all, Hofstra made the school’s fifth-ever WNIT appearance before falling in the first round at Penn. The Pride also recorded the fourth 20-win campaign in the program’s Division I era that started in 1982-83; three of which have come under Kilburn-Steveskey.
DARIUS FAULK
Here is a position-by-position look of the 2015-16 Hofstra Women’s Basketball team:
GUARDS The entire backcourt should look familiar to Hofstra fans. Senior
Darius Faulk took over the primary ball-handling responsibilities in her first season since transferring from West Virginia and averaged 7.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, which was the league’s second-highest mark. Faulk shined the most in conference games, shooting 50 percent from the floor during CAA games for the CAA’s fourth-highest mark while ending the season ranked 28th nationally in Division I for total assists. Faulk’s workhorse mentality – featuring a team-leading 32 minutes per game, allowed junior Krystal Luciano to increase her scoring, rebounding and assist totals from her first season. Faulk and Luciano also split the point guard responsibilities at times, giving Hofstra multiple looks in breaking press defenses and in the half-court offense.
L
ast season’s Hofstra Women’s Basketball team didn’t have the luxury of looking to many upperclassmen to provide leadership. Without a single senior on the roster, the Pride instead turned inward for accountability, and the result was a 20-win campaign that culminated in a WNIT appearance, a win over a nationally ranked opponent and the team’s first-ever appearance in the Colonial Athletic Association Championship title game. Hofstra is now primed to parlay that experience into another potential playoff run as the Pride aims for the first NCAA Tournament appearance in program history. Five seniors comprise a veteran roster that returns 12 of 13 members. Five of the six players who averaged at least six points are back, as are five of the six players who notched at least three rebounds per game.
Kilburn-Steveskey said Faulk worked on her shot in the offseason and is driven to end her collegiate career with a championship. Luciano has embraced different roles, including the job of on-court mentor and motivator who has helped lift teammates’ spirits. Luciano has also done more than just offer encouragement, as the San Juan native started 54 games in her first two seasons and has averaged at least three assists in both campaigns.
KRYSTAL LUCIANO
Eight players are now either juniors or seniors, giving Head Coach Krista Kilburn-Steveskey a talented group who knows what she expects and will look to execute her vision of the team on the court. “We obviously have our sights set high,” Kilburn-Steveskey said. “We know the task ahead of us, but everyone is geared up. We know we can do it. It’s just a matter of consistency and doing the little things day-in and day-out and that’s where the maturity comes in. We have the tools and pieces and I think our potential is extremely high.”
2015-16 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL 19
2015-16 OUTLOOK KELLY LOFTUS
after being brought along slowly to begin her collegiate career. Senior Jakelle King-Gilchrist has provided great depth for Hofstra since transferring from Florida State before 2013-14. She has appeared in 55 games for the Pride over the last two seasons, including 31 last season. As someone who can drive and shoot three-pointers, KingGilchrist is a steady presence who can give Loftus and the other backcourt members a rest or come in if the backcourt gets into foul trouble. Sophomore Olivia Askin is looking to be a complementary shooting threat by working tirelessly on her shot in practice. The coaching staff is working with her on refining her shot and having her protect the basketball, which could provide the team with another quality three-point threat off the bench.
FORWARDS Hofstra’s two biggest frontcourt threats proved they could handle heavy workloads. Ashunae Durant enjoyed one of the best freshman seasons in program history, averaging 11 points and seven rebounds per game to earn the CAA’s Rookie of the Year award while also capturing AllMet Division I Rookie of the Year honors and an All-Second Team selection by the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association. Durant shot a team-best 48.7 percent from the field to earn an All-CAA Second Team selection. Her rebounding total, which was the conference’s sixth-highest, along with her 74.3 percent free-throw shooting average, helped her earn Full Court’s National Mid-Major Freshman of the Year award.
While the offense runs through the point guards, junior Kelly Loftus will look to build on a breakout season in which she emerged as one of the CAA’s best shooters. At 5’10”, Loftus can play anywhere from shooting guard to the four-spot in ASHUNAE DURANT smaller lineups. But her best position has been one where she can use her long-range shooting ability to open up her teammates. Hofstra’s leading scorer averaged 12.5 points in starting all 32 games, resulting in her first career CAA award as a member of the league’s allthird team. Five times Loftus posted 20-point games and her 79 three-pointers marked the third-highest single-season total in program history. Loftus’ length and athleticism can provide Hofstra versatility to the lineups and KilburnSteveskey said she has worked hard on her leadership and will be looking for her to use a high basketball IQ to help the team stay on course. Senior Asia Jackson will be looked to be the first option off the bench. Entering her fourth season, the Peekskill, New York product native has played multiple positions in preseason camp and Kilburn-Steveskey cited her as a breakout candidate who will be looking to become more consistent after averaging 4.4 points in 30 games last season, with 29 of those games coming off the bench. Sophomore Aleana Leon averaged 8.4 minutes as a reserve in 21 games and will look to increase her role
20 HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY
2015-16 OUTLOOK SCHEDULE Matchups against six teams with winning records, five postseason ANJIE WHITE
participants and two NCAA Tournament qualifiers will highlight Hofstra’s non-conference portion of the schedule. The Pride’s 11 non-league opponents had a 182-161 record in 2014-15. Hofstra will oppose three 20-win teams in the run up to the start of Colonial Athletic Association play that will commence in January. The non-league slate will prepare Hofstra for a challenging 18-game CAA regular season docket that starts Jan. 3 with a contest against Delaware at the Mack Sports Complex. Hofstra will open the season with three straight games against winning programs and two playoff qualifiers. The Pride will host Navy on Opening Day Nov. 13. On Nov. 17, Hofstra will host local-rival Stony Brook. The Seawolves went 17-14 and made the WBI last season. Hofstra’s first road game of the season will feature a strong non-league test as the Pride takes on the defending Patriot League-champion American University on Nov. 19. American went 24-9 a season ago. For the first time since 2011, Hofstra will venture outside the contiguous United States by participating in the San Juan Shootout from Nov. 27-28. Hofstra will face a talented Oregon State team in the opener from the Mario Quijote Morales Coliseum. The Beavers went 27-5 last year and advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s second round and garnered a year-end No. 20 ranking in the Associated Press poll. Hofstra will then face Coastal Carolina the next day. Buffalo will enter the Mack Sports Complex to start December for Hofstra. Like Hofstra, Buffalo made the 2015 WNIT. Saint Joseph’s will then come to Hempstead for a Sunday matinee on Dec. 6. Hofstra will then close the calendar year and the non-league schedule on a three-game road trip starting at UMass on Dec. 9. A break for finals means Hofstra won’t resume action until Dec. 20 against a Marist squad that also made the WNIT and finished 21-12. Hofstra will close the month at Delaware State on Dec. 30.
At 5’10”, Durant was helped in the post by Anjie White’s emergence. The George Washington transfer is entering her junior season following a stellar debut for the Pride. White made an immediate impact with her 6’2” frame, starting 12 of the 23 games in which she played and still averaging 9.5 points and 5.8 rebounds while recording four doubledoubles. She was named the CAA Co-Player of the Week on Feb. 23 after back-to-back double-figure scoring games versus Towson and at James Madison. White and Durant are expected to play the bulk of the minutes in the frontcourt. But senior Sydni Epps, who has spent time at guard, can fill valuable minutes as a forward. Described by Kilburn-Steveskey as a “glue player,” Epps enters her final season with 81 games of collegiate experience. Junior Sandra Dongmo appeared in four games as she recovered from injuries while learning to adjust to the speed of the collegiate level. The 6’4” post player is the roster’s tallest player and has the potential to provide a major boost if she continues her development. Kayla Minott, the team’s lone new addition and freshman, is a 6’3” post player who is looking to impress in camp and earn playing time. Senior Dee Thomas-Palmer is also on the roster and trying to work through injuries after playing in 86 games for Hofstra through her first three seasons.
Following the CAA opener versus Delaware, Hofstra will embark on the first two separate three-game conference road trips with a road game at Elon on Jan. 8 followed by a contest at Charleston on Jan. 10. The Pride will head back on the road with a road game at UNCW on Jan. 15 followed by a home game versus William & Mary two days later. That will kick-off a three-game homestand that will continue Jan. 22 versus Northeastern and Jan. 24 versus Towson. January will end with a road game at Drexel on the 29th and a home game versus Elon on the 31st. Defending CAA-champion James Madison will visit the Mack Sports Complex on Feb. 5 in a rematch of the 2015 conference championship title game. Hofstra will conclude the season series against the Tigers on Feb. 7 in a road game. That will start the second three-game road swing that will continue on Feb. 12 at William & Mary and Feb. 14 at James Madison, where Hofstra posted a win over the nationally ranked Dukes at the Convocation Center last year. Hofstra will start a stretch of three home games in four contests versus UNCW on Feb. 19. A road game at Delaware two days later will mark the only interlude in the home swing as the Pride will host Drexel on Feb. 26 and take on Charleston on Senior Day Feb. 28. The regular season will conclude at Northeastern on March 2. The CAA Championship will take place March 9-12 at the Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

VICE PRESIDENT & DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
H
ofstra
University President Stuart Rabinowitz introduced Jeffrey A. Hathaway, formerly Director of Athletics at the University of Connecticut and the chairman of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, on May 15, 2012. Now in his fourth year as the Vice President and Director of Athletics at Hofstra, Hathaway was recently appointed to the inaugural NCAA Council as the Colonial Athletic Association representative and currently serves as the Vice Chair of the newly formed NCAA Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee. This past June, Hathaway received the Under Armour AD of the Year Award at the NACDA Convention for the third time in his career. In his first year at Hofstra, Hathaway oversaw a department that produced four Colonial Athletic Association championship and NCAA Tournament teams, as well as two other teams that reached the conference championship game. In addition, Hofstra Athletics saw three student-athletes earn Academic All-America accolades and five garner CAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year (the CAA’s highest academic recognition) honors. One of those Academic All-Americans, Joe Burg, also was a finalist for a Rhodes Scholarship in 2012, becoming just the second Hofstra student to ever earn the distinction. In 2013-14 Hofstra had two NCAA Tournament appearances (wrestling and softball), a regular season men’s lacrosse championship, two Academic All-District selections, two CAA Players of the Year and two CAA Defensive Players of the Year. The 2014-15 year saw the volleyball, wrestling and softball programs make appearances in the NCAA Tournament, with both volleyball and softball capturing CAA titles. In addition, men’s soccer and women’s lacrosse were both regular season CAA champions. Five Hofstra student-athletes earned CAA Player of the Year honors and three were named CAA Scholar-Athletes in their respective sports. In Hathaway’s three years as vice president and director of athletics, there have been nine teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament, six CAA titles, three regular season CAA titles and two other postseason appearances (College Basketball Invitational
and Women’s National Invitation Tournament). Seven new head coaches have joined the Pride staff during Hathaway’s tenure including Head Men’s Basketball Coach Joe Mihalich who has taken a team that finished in last place three years ago to being selected first in the 2015-16 CAA Preseason Poll. During Hathaway’s three years more than 700 student-athletes have earned 3.0 grade point averages or better and 50 have posted a perfect 4.0 GPA. Hofstra has also had a tremendous amount of success in the NCAA Division I Academic Performance Program as the softball and tennis programs both posted multi-year Academic Progress Rates (APR) in the top-10 percent of the team’s respective sport throughout Division I. In addition, 10 athletic teams (Men’s Basketball, Men’s Golf, Men’s Tennis, Women’s Basketball, Women’s Cross Country, Field Hockey, Women’s Golf, Softball, Women’s Soccer and Women’s Tennis) achieved a perfect 1000 APR score for the 2013-14 academic year. The Hofstra Athletics Pride Club has increased fundraising during each year of his tenure. Hathaway has also overseen areas of capital improvement with the completion of the Hofstra Basketball Practice Facility in July 2014 as well as the replacement of artificial turf surfaces at James M. Shuart Stadium, the Hofstra Soccer Stadium and University Field (baseball). Hofstra student-athletes have increased their community service efforts during Hathaway’s tenure, earning a pair of awards from Hofstra’s Office of Student Leadership and Activities in 2013-14. In 2014 the athletic department unveiled an updated GoHofstra.com. In addition, Hofstra introduced a brand-new online ticketing system (HofstraTickets.com), along with an on-line donor management system to better manage donor accounts. Hathaway was named to the NCAA Division I Leadership Council, continuing his tradition of service on the national level. He had served a five-year term as a member of the prestigious NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, representing the Big East Conference, and was chair of the committee in 2011-12. Hathaway also served on NACDA’s Executive Committee, was a board member of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association and a member of the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet. He served the Big East Conference in a wide range of leadership roles including as Chair of the Athletic Directors. Hathaway guided the UConn Division of Athletics through an unprecedented period of academic and athletic achievement during his eight years as director of athletics from 2003 to 2011 and as the executive associate director of athletics from 1990 to 2001. At the same time, he became an influential
56 HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY
leader for college athletics on both the national and conference level. The Huskies would capture nine national titles during his tenures. He played a key role in the transition of the football program from Division I-AA to FBS status. Highlights of this transition included membership in The Big East Football Conference, twice winning the conference championship, the construction of a new off-campus football stadium and on-campus football complex/indoor practice facility and participation in five bowl games, including the 2011 Fiesta Bowl. During Hathaway’s career, he has always made the academic success of student-athletes a top priority. Connecticut consistently maintained a 99 percent academic retention rate among its student-athletes. The National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS) saluted UConn three times under Hathaway’s watch for its community service efforts. UConn was also honored by the NCAS in 2006 and 2007 for its efforts to assist former studentathletes in earning their college degree. At the time Hathaway left Connecticut, the athletic department had raised over $71 million towards the University’s capital campaign –more than any other single unit at the University. Hathaway was also responsible for negotiating several key revenue and partnership agreements with IMG (over $80 million) and NIKE (over $46 million) while also securing major fundraising gifts. During Hathaway’s tenure at Colorado State (2001-03) he was an extremely successful fundraiser. The school drew national attention for a $15.2 million gift for football stadium renovations and expansion. The football team won the Mountain West championship and advanced to two bowls games, while men’s basketball won the conference tournament going to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 13 years, along with championships and NCAA Tournament appearances in other sports. Hathaway worked in the University of Maryland athletic department between 1982 and 1990 in a variety of administrative roles. Hathaway earned his degree in athletic administration from Maryland in 1981. He later received a master’s degree in general administration from Maryland and has completed additional graduate school courses in UConn’s Department of Educational Leadership. He has completed executive education programs at Harvard University’s Management Development Program in the Graduate School of Education and The Sports Management Institute, which is a consortium of Notre Dame, Southern California and UNC. Hathaway and his wife, Paula, have two adult children – Meghan and Michael.

THE COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
T
he Colonial Athletic Association has established itself as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences both athletically and academically for more than 30 years. The CAA encompasses many of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Charleston, S.C. The conference has produced 15 national team champions in four different sports, 33 individual national champions, 13 national players of the year, 12 national coaches of the year and 13 Honda Award winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 24 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2014-15, nearly 2,100 of the league’s 4,000 student-athletes received the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport. The conference had 36 teams in 17 different sports receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards based on the latest Academic Progress Report released in 2015. The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes several of the nation’s top media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (7), Washington, D.C. (8) and Baltimore (27). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 19 million. The CAA conducts championships in 22 sports. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis and track & field. 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 2014-15, 23 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 39 student-athletes received All-America honors in 14 different sports. The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with two teams – George Mason (2006) and VCU (2011) – advancing to the NCAA Final Four over the past decade. CAA teams have combined to win 43 games in postseason play since 2006, including 14 victories in the NCAA Tournament. The CAA has posted at least one NCAA Tournament win in six of the past 10 years, including four of the last six. The conference has had five or more teams compete in postseason play in five of the last seven seasons. In women’s basketball, CAA champion James Madison made its fourth trip to the NCAA Tournament in the last six years and recorded its 10th consecutive postseason appearance. In 2013, Delaware became the 12th CAA team to reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament and Drexel captured the WNIT championship with a 46-43 victory over Utah. CAA teams
have recorded 23 victories in postseason play over the past four years. The conference also excels in many other sports. The CAA sent multiple teams to the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship for the fifth straight year and each current member of the conference has reached the NCAA Tournament since 2006. A pair of CAA softball teams (Hofstra and James Madison) earned NCAA Tournament berths for the third year in a row, with the Dukes seeded #15 nationally in 2015. The Pride advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals in 2012. In baseball, UNCW and College of Charleston both received #2 seeds and advanced to the finals of their respective NCAA Regionals. The Cougars reached the NCAA Super Regionals in 2014. William & Mary’s women’s cross country squad finished 17th at the 2014 NCAA Championship. Tribe junior Emily Stites earned All-America accolades in cross country and track and field, while Elon’s Luis Vargas became the Phoenix’s first cross country All-American. CAA squads have combined to win 10 field hockey national titles since the championship began in 1981. At least two women’s soccer teams have reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament three times in the past eight years. Delaware and Towson have each reached the Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship and Drexel advanced to the quarterfinals in 2014. The CAA has had at least 11 players selected in 11 of the last 13 Major League Baseball drafts. The conference also had individuals earn All-America honors in field hockey, men’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s lacrosse, softball and baseball last season and had players nationally ranked in tennis and golf. 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 education and life outside of intercollegiate athletics. The Alliance has enabled hundreds of students to showcase their research in the annual Undergraduate Research Conference and Journal, facilitated leadership exchanges to promote professional development, developed an academic resource sharing program to support student athletes, and created opportunities for institutions to partner on a wide range of initiatives that enhance student success. CAA schools are also very active in community service projects. The CAA Blood Challenge, which is held each fall, has raised more than 40,000 units of blood over the past 13 years. The CAA Food Drive Challenge, which is held each spring, has resulted in over 18,000 pounds of donated food and $7,000 in cash contributions in only two years. Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. The conference traces its roots back to 1983 when two of its current
members - James Madison University and the College of William and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, George Mason 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 conference. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985. Old Dominion University joined the CAA in 1991 and was followed 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 in 2005. College of Charleston began its first year as a CAA member in 2013 and Elon University joined the conference on July 1, 2014.

PRIDE IN THE PROS
T
he Hofstra Women’s Basketball program has had quite a bit of success in recent years and that success has translated into several former Pride women’s basketball student-athletes playing professional basketball.
VANESSA GIDDEN
SHANTE EVANS
The former players who are currently active are: Anma Onyeuku (CADBA; Spain), Shante Evans (Dunav 8806; Bulgaria), Jess Fuller (Falcon; Denmark), Vanessa Gidden (Avenida, Spain), Marie Malone (La Spezia; Italy) and Lizanne Murphy (UFAB49; France). “I couldn’t be more excited to watch the professional careers of our former players develop,” commented Head Coach Krista Kilburn-Steveskey. “Their careers have taken them on journeys they could only dream about as kids and we are thrilled that this wonderful game of basketball has allowed them to experience so much.” In addition to those active players, Candace Bond, Candice Bellocchio, Cigi McCollin andNiki Williams also played professionally following graduation.
