GAME DAY

This is Hofstra Hofstra University provides a dynamic college experience tailored for engaged and ambitious individuals. Students find their edge at Hofstra, through small classes, a faculty whose primary concern is teaching, cutting edge technology, extensive library resources, internships, and special educational programs that appeal to their interests and abilities.

The Hofstra community is driven, dynamic and energetic, helping students find and focus their strengths to prepare them for a successful future.

In its relatively short history, Hofstra has established itself as a world-class institution of higher education and cultural enterprise. Each academic year, the Hofstra campus and the programs offered grow and change to meet the demands of our students and our community.

Hofstra opened in 1935 as a commuter school with all classes and offices housed in one building. Since those early days, Hofstra has evolved into an international institution with a student body hailing from 51 states and territories, and 73 countries around the world. The beautiful campus is an accredited arboretum with 113 buildings on 240 acres. There are approximately 4,200 students living on campus, and Hofstra offers them and all students an extensive array of academic and social activities.

Additionally, Hofstra’s close proximity to Manhattan means that students have easy access to the wondrous cultural, social and career offerings of the city.

What has remained consistent throughout the years, however, is the sense of community on campus, the eagerness of our students to learn and the commitment of the Hofstra faculty and administration to provide a challenging education that encourages the pursuit of lifelong learning.

The Colleges and Schools of the University are: Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Frank G. Zarb School of Business, New College for Interdisciplinary Studies, School of Communication, School of Education, Health and Human Services, School of Law, School for University Studies, Honors College, Hofstra University Continuing Education and Hofstra University School of Medicine in partnership with the North Shore-LIJ Health System. Bachelor’s degrees are offered in 150 areas of study. Graduate degrees are offered, including Ph.D., Ed.D.,

Psy.D., Au.D., and J.D. degrees, advanced certificates and professional diplomas, in more than 160 programs of study.

Hofstra joined with North Shore-LIJ Health System in announcing plans to establish a medical school on the University campus in October 2007. The new school, which is expected to enroll its first students in 2011, pending preliminary accreditation with the Liaison Committee on Medical Education and requisite New York State approval, will be the first allopathic (MD) medical school in Nassau County and the first in New York state since 1963.

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. The October 15 debate, moderated by Bob Schieffer, was a transformational moment for the University, highlighting the achievements of our students and faculty and their engagement in the political process. Leading up to the debate, students and the entire community were engaged by the year-long Educate ’08 program, almost 150 lectures, conferences, and events focused on the issues, history and politics of the presidency. Hofstra has followed the Educate ’08 program with Define ’09, 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.

2008 also saw Hofstra award its first Guru Nanak Interfaith Prize to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. The new international award, which recognizes efforts at interfaith dialogue, received 75 nominations for individuals and organizations from around the world.

Hofstra’s School of Communication is one of the largest, most advanced non-commercial television facilities in the East. Students take classes and work in Dempster Hall, a sophisticated television production/ post-production facility with two broadcast-quality studios and control rooms; two advanced online video edit suites; two Avid non-linear digital editing systems and several cuts-only video work stations. Two satellite dishes are available with one dish providing special news feeds for the broadcast journalism room, which also has access to Associated Press, Lexis-Nexis and Dow Jones services. In addition, the facility is capable of broadcasting student-produced programming to the entire campus on our own cable channels. Also located here is the University’s radio station (WRHU/88.7-FM), which is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2009, audio production studios, a film/video screening room, film editing rooms, a computer laboratory, a speech performance studio and a large dance studio.

Only the seventh head football coach in the Pride’s 67-season history, Cohen is widely-regarded as one of the top defensive coaches in the country.

For his efforts, Cohen was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award, which is presented annually to the top FCS coach in the country.

His three seasons as head coach have resulted in improved play on both sides of the line of scrimmage. In 2006 the Pride posted their best total defense average since 1996, and ranked in the top half in the conference in rushing defense, pass defense, scoring defense and total defense.

In 2007 Hofstra recorded the second-most improved record in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), going from 2-9 in 2006 to 7-4. The Pride led the CAA in rushing defense in 2007, allowing just 113.9 yards per game, which ranked as the best average since the 1996 campaign. The Pride also ranked second in total defense, allowing just 312 yards per game.

That mark was the second-lowest total since 1996. While the Pride was in the middle of the CAA in total offense, they did improve by an average of 122 yards per game from 2006 to a mark of 388.5 in 2007 season. Hofstra also led the CAA in punt

Hofstra also posted its best pass defense average in 18 years and its best rushing average in seven seasons.

Cohen came to Hofstra after a four-year stint at the University of Delaware – his second tenure at UD – from 2002 through the 2005 season. During that time his defensive schemes played a large part in Delaware posting a 15-1 record and capturing the NCAA I-AA national title in 2003. Led by AllAmerican defensive end and Oakland Raider draftee Shawn Johnson and current San Francisco 49ers starting safety Mike Adams, the Blue Hens posted the first shutout in I-AA championship game history with a 40-0 win over previously unbeaten Colgate.

Delaware’s defense, which held all four I-AA playoff opponents to under 10 points to set an NCAA I-AA record, led the Atlantic 10 in rushing defense (114.3 - 17th in I-AA), pass efficiency defense (113.36), and scoring defense (15.4 - 4th in I-AA), and ranked second in total defense (303.0 - 16th in I-AA).

For his efforts, Cohen was honored in July 2004 as the NCAA I-AA Defensive Coordinator of the Year by American Football Monthly magazine.

In 2004 Cohen led a Blue Hen defense that ranked among the top 25 in the nation in rushing defense, total defense, and turnover margin as Delaware went 9-4 and advanced to the I-AA quarterfinals. Injuries and youth played a big part in Delaware posting a 6-5 record in 2005 but the Blue Hens finished the season with two road wins.

The squad ranked fourth in the Atlantic 10 in rushing defense (119.6) and sacks (30), and sixth in total defense (364.5) and scoring defense (24.0).

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY 2009 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE > > > 19

2009 pride OUTLOOK Entering the 2008 season Hofstra Head Football Coach Dave Cohen was cautiously optimistic about his team’s outlook. Despite losing 24 players, including 14 starters, to graduation and having a relatively young, inexperienced team, the Pride mentor felt he had a talented mix of players on his squad to get through, arguably, the toughest schedule in school history.

While injuries are a part of the game of football, what Cohen and company went through in 2008, in regards to injuries, bordered on the unbelievable. Key injuries seemed to incapacitate starters all year long. Nowhere was that more evident than at quarterback where the Pride lost their starter Bryan Savage just prior to the start of the first game and later lost his replacement (Cory Christopher) near midseason. Injuries were abundant all around the team-mostly on offense-to the tune of approximately a dozen season-ending injuries and just as many surgeries.

But the Pride refused to give in and Cohen led the charge through the adversity by challenging his staff and team by saying, “we have to work harder, teach and develop our younger players faster, and prepare better for our next opponent.”

Through those tribulations in 2008 has come a battle-tested team that entered preparations for the new season with a renewed commitment and dedication to put last year’s season out of mind. Cohen followed up his outstanding 2008 recruiting effort with a new class that might have topped his previous best group.

Add these promising newcomers to a group of 58 returning players, including 40 lettermen and 20 starters, and the potential for a successful season in the always tough CAA, which has placed league members in five of the last six FCS Championship Games including three National Champions, is there.

While injuries and other adversity can never be predicted, Cohen does believe that the returning members of last year’s team had a tremendous learning experience. “I am confident that we will make a dramatic improvement in every facet and every area of our team,” the fourth-year coach said following spring drills. “How far we take that improvement will be based upon our senior leadership and our locker room demeanor. But I am very excited about the prospects for 2009.”

DEFENSE When it comes to defense, Cohen, a long-time defensive coordinator, has a simple philosophy, “To have R onnie C ameron a successful defense, you have to be very good at defending the run,” Cohen says. This has been proven by the Pride in each of the last two seasons. In 2007 Hofstra led the CAA and ranked 11th in the country against the rush and in turn ranked second in the league and 15th in the FCS in total defense.

Last year the Pride fell to 10th against the rush and sixth in total defense in the conference with a unit that returned only three starters. The Pride will be looking to solidify the defense that posted the best pass defense (136.9 ypg) in the CAA and the fourth-best in the FCS with a solid ground defense. Hofstra’s total defense average of 329.7 ypg last season was the program’s fourth-best in the last 12 years. The 2009 Hofstra defense will return 26 players on defense, including 18 lettermen and nine starters. But even with many starters returning, Cohen is anticipating key starting battles on defense during preseason camp. “I am excited about the additional competition that we will have at tackle, linebacker and at cornerback in August,” Cohen said. “We have returning starters back at some of those spots but, in some cases, we left spring drills in a position where the starter was passed by.”

The Hofstra defensive line returns three of the four starters from last year with tackle Larry Abiola the only one lost to graduation. “This year we are bigger, stronger, more physical and have many returning players up front,” Cohen says.

At the tackles, sophomore Ronnie Cameron and red-shirt freshman Johnny Hartsfield emerged from spring practice as the front-runners for the starting roles. Cameron, who played in all 12 games and started two, tallied 13 tackles and 1 ½ tackles for losses as a backup last season. Hartsfield, an all-county selection out of Boca Ciega High School in Gulfport, Florida, had an outstanding spring to push him to the cusp of the starting lineup. Pushing these two will be junior Andrew Nelson and junior transfer Omar Jacobs. Nelson, who played in all 12 games and started 10 in 2008, recorded 26 tackles and was tied for third on the team in tackles for losses with 4 1/2. Jacobs, who transferred to Hofstra last January from Laney College in Oakland, California, played in 17 games over two years at Laney, recording 42 tackles and earning the team’s Defensive Lineman of the Year award.

At the ends, two seniors – Kevin Smith and Joe Akabalu – are the projected starters entering the season. Smith, who played in 10 games and started eight, posted 24 tackles and three tackles for losses in 2008. Akabalu, who also played in 10 games and started four, tallied 25 tackles, four tackles for losses and two sacks. Both Smith and Akabalu will be pressed by junior Deron Mayo and sophomore Quincy Barr. Mayo, who played in 12 games and started seven at outside linebacker/end, tallied 33 stops, two tackles for losses and one interception. Barr, who played in 10 games and started two, was tied for the team lead with 2 ½ sacks and two forced fumbles, and tied for third with 4 ½ tackles for losses. He also ranked 23rd in the CAA in sacks.

Staten Island, NY/Curtis

The starting linebacker unit returns intact and led by senior All-American candidate Luke Bonus. The three-year starter earned All-CAA honors for the second time in his career last season but made his debut as a first team selection after leading the team with 96 tackles, 6 ½ tackles for losses, 2 ½ sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He ranked eighth in the CAA in tackles. While Bonus will man the middle, he will have some experience around and behind him. Junior Said Gaida, who played in all 12 games and started four at one of the outside spots last year, was sixth in tackles with 50 stops and tallied 3 ½ tackles for losses and 1 ½ sacks and will back-up Bonus while bucking for a spot on the outside.

At the outside linebacker spots sophomore Basim Hudeen and junior Rashad Swanson are the leading candidates for the starting jobs heading into summer

Swanson, an All-America third team selection at City College of San Francisco who was red-shirted by Hofstra last season, gets moved up to linebacker from the secondary and is coming off an outstanding spring season.

transfer Tressor Baptiste, an AllNew York City selection at Curtis High School in Staten Island, New York, in 2005, who was the defensive most valuable player at Lackawanna last season.

linebacker last season. Senior Ray McDonough, who came to Hofstra in 2008 from Glendale Community College, made a big impression on the Pride faithful last season by leading the team with four interceptions, seven pass deflections and two forced fumbles and posting 56 tackles. He ranked 10th in the CAA and 63rd in the FCS in interception average.

Challenging McDonough will be junior transfer Devin Pruett, a twotime all-conference selection and team captain at Bakersfield College in California. Pruett transferred to Hofstra last January and will benefit from having spring practice

The secondary returns three of the four starters, losing just cornerback Nick Altomare to graduation, and picks up a starter from the linebacker unit. At one of the cornerback spots, senior Leslie Jackman, who came to Hofstra in 2008 from Rutgers, returns to a starting role following a solid Hofstra debut. Jackman posted 43 tackles, three pass break-ups, and two interceptions while starting all 12 contests. Junior Jaron McNeill, who played in nine games as a back-up and on special teams, and posted eight tackles, will be pushing Jackman. The other starting corner spot is one of several positions on the team that are projected to be hotly-contested for during the preseason camp. Junior Garret Heron, who returns to the field in 2009 after a preseason back injury wiped out his 2008 season, impressed the staff during the spring and walked away as the frontrunner to start. But look for Heron, who played in all 11 games in 2007, to be challenged by red-shirt freshman Dontavious Johnson, a 2007 all-area selection out of Palm Beach Lakes High School in Florida, as well as several newcomers.

Two starters return at the safety spots, albeit one coming back after starting at

with the team. There should be a great battle for the starting free safety job during the preseason camp as sophomore Chris Edmond, who played in all 12 games and started seven at outside linebacker last season, showed the speed and talent during spring drills to move back to the secondary and bump last year’s starter Greg Melendez from the role. Edmond, who led the team with three fumble recoveries last season, was third on the team with 71 tackles as well as four tackles for losses and one interception. Melendez, who started all 12 games as a red-shirt freshman last season, was second on the team in tackles with 72 and broke up three passes.

OFFENSE

When you lose key members of your offense, more often than not your offense will struggle. While that was the case last year, the trials of 2008 could be beneficial to the Pride in 2009 and beyond. The injuries that the Pride suffered forced several younger players to contribute sooner than expected. That “baptism by fire” should provide invaluable knowledge and experience. While the passing game struggled with injuries and youth, the rushing game was given time to flourish, recording its best average (164.2 ypg) since 2001. Like the defense, the offense returns 28 players, including 19 lettermen and nine starters.

The Pride’s off-season strength and conditioning program could turn out to be one of the biggest factors in the team’s health and success this fall.

There is not much that can be said when your returning, starting quarterback goes down with a season-ending back injury just minutes before the season opener. That is why you practice the back-up quarterbacks as well. But when your back-up quarterback goes down with a season-ending hip injury pushing a talented, true freshman into the line-up you wonder if outside forces are at work against you. That is what happened to the Pride in 2008 as Savage didn’t make it out of the gate and Christopher made it to mid-season before newcomer Steve Probst was thrown into the fray. That background has set the stage for the competition that will take place in preseason camp for the starting job at quarterback between Christopher and Probst. Despite not practicing as he continued rehabilitation during spring drills, Christopher, who started seven

games before going down, is listed as the front-runner for the starting job heading into the preseason.

Christopher completed 127 of 190 passes (66.8%) for 1,163 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 272 more and five touchdowns on 106 carries in his seven games.

But Probst, who played in six games and started five, was one who benefitted from being thrown into the lion’s den last year. The freshman completed 102 of 170 passes (60.0%) for 951 yards and seven touchdowns. Following in his predecessors’ footsteps, he was third on the team in rushing with 291 yards and one touchdown on 74 carries.

While Christopher and Probst’s battle could be the main event in preseason camp, Cohen is quick to say that he will start whoever gives Hofstra the best chance to win. That could open the door for junior college transfer Coy Glass, who passed for 2,423 yards and 18 touchdowns in two seasons at Riverside (CA) Community College, and red-shirt freshman Joe Sidaras, an All-New York State selection who passed for 2,795 yards and 40 touchdowns in his final two seasons at William Floyd High School in Mastic Beach, Long Island. Sidaras had an impressive showing during spring drills.

In 2009 Hofstra could possess its deepest and most talented backfield in school history, topping some of the great units of the 1950s, 1980s and 1990s. After posting the best rushing numbers since 2001, the future is bright. Both starters, junior fullback Everette Benjamin and sophomore halfback Brock Jackolski, return and are joined by several players who are expected to make an impact in the very, near future.

B rock J ackolski Benjamin, who started all 12 games while playing at both spots last season, led the Pride, ranked

of the backfield with 26 catches for 230 yards and two touchdowns. Jackolski, who played in 11 games and started seven as a true freshman, was right behind Benjamin with 541 yards and a team-high eight touchdowns on 86 carries. He also hauled in 14 passes for 111 yards and returned 23 kickoffs for 548 yards.

Sophomore Kwabena Asante, who played in nine games last season and accumulated 105 yards on 38 carries, is penciled in to back-up both positions.

But several newcomers are not only expected to challenge Asante, they could challenge for time in the starting lineup. Heading that group is New York State Player of the Year Miguel Maysonet out of Riverhead High School.

The Pride offensive line, at times last season, looked noticeably undersized. That will not be the case in 2009 as the Pride’s off-season strength and conditioning program has transformed the Hofstra lines. “I believe that how your offensive line goes is how your program goes,” Cohen states. “We have M ike T rice many experienced linemen returning and they are bigger, stronger and faster.” As a matter of fact, the Pride returns all five starting linemen from last year, as well as a former starter who returns after missing the 2008 season with an injury. The development of the young, offensive line during the season aided in the rise of the Pride’s rushing game.

At the tackles, both starters return in junior Brian Frederick and sophomore Derek Moore.

Frederick, who came to Hofstra as a tight end in 2006, is a two-year starter on the offensive line and has played in every game since 2007. Moore, an All-Ohio selection in high school, started every game at right tackle as a redshirt freshman for the Pride in 2008. Frederick and Moore will be challenged by sophomore Kevin

2009 pride OUTLOOK Brown, who saw limited action last season but has gained the size and strength in the off-season to compete for the starting job, and red-shirt freshman Jordy Paulemon, an All-Suffolk County (LI) selection, who also hit the weight room hard during the off-season.

The guard positions have an abundance of starters and experienced players returning. Heading the list are returning starters senior Mike Trice and junior Armand Poole. Trice started the first nine games before missing the final three with an injury. Trice will be challenged by the return of senior Jimmy Mangiero, who sat out last season with a knee injury. Mangiero was a starter at guard and center in 2006 and 2007. Poole played in all 12 games and started eight as a sophomore in 2008. He is another lineman who will benefit this season from the added size and strength. Pushing Poole is senior David Spanich, who started three games early in the season, then missed several games to injury before returning and eventually starting the final three contests.

At center, junior Jaren Harrell returns to a starting role after playing in all 12 games last season. Harrell will be pushed by classmate Tom Ottaiano, who played in 11 games and started one in 2008. Mangiero, who along with tight end Jose Cruz is expected to be the snapper on special teams, also has the experience at this position to see playing time if needed.

The Pride, who lost a solid receiver from last year in Ottis Lewis to graduation, return several others who will have a big impact.

Junior Aaron Weaver, who Coach Cohen calls “Hofstra’s most proven threat and playmaker” returns to a starting role in 2009 after recording 70 receptions for 595 yards and four touchdowns.

A aron W eaver

The versatile Weaver also rushed 19 times for 61 yards and two touchdowns, posted the team’s best kickoff return average (26.5) in 21 returns, returned three punts and even took snaps at quarterback last season. He is also expected to serve as the back-up punter for the Pride in 2009. The All-CAA selection

should be ready to burst into the national limelight this season. Junior Anthony Nelson is penciled in to return to a starting role at the other receiver spot.

Nelson, who played in 15 games for the Pride baseball team during football practice last spring, started eight games and caught 35 passes for 315 yards and one touchdown before an injury caused him to miss the final four contests.

Nelson also returned nine punts (3.4 ypr) and five kickoffs (18.8 ypr). Pushing Weaver and Nelson will be sophomore Christian Dennis and junior Vaughn Davis. Dennis played in 11 games last season and caught 15 passes for 153 yards and one touchdown. Davis, who red-shirted last season, has the size and speed to be an impact receiver. Look for senior Derek Benson, who caught five passes for 62 yards in 11 games last season, sophomore Chaz Cervino, a transfer from Syracuse, and several others to challenge for playing time as well.

The Pride graduated three tight ends last year in starter Phil Riley, Bryant Carpenter and Mike Denimarck. Red-shirt freshman Dave Wilson returns after red-shirting last season and will battle junior Jose Cruz, a University of Akron transfer who came to Hofstra last January. Cruz, who played in 24 games for the Zips the past two seasons, showed great hands and blocking ability during spring practice with the Pride.

The Pride return all four of their kickers/punters from 2008, including starting kicker Roger Williams and starting punter Shane Casciano. Williams, a sophomore, took over the starting place-kicking duties from returning sophomore Brian Hanly three games into the 2008 season and went on to finish the season second in scoring on the team with 45 points. He hit eight of 11 field goals, including tying the mark for the longest field goal (54 yards) in school history against Northeastern, and hitting the winning field goal against Rhode Island. Williams also connected on 21 of 26 extra-points. Hanley, who hit on three of seven field goals and one of three extra-points in his three starts in 2008, handled kickoff duties the remainder of the season. He had an outstanding spring season and is the front-runner for the starting job entering preseason camp.

Another player who had an impressive spring was senior Henry Greco. The Nassau Community College transfer impressed the staff in 2008 with his ability and S hane C asciano enthusiasm and will get a long look this season.

The punting duties last year fell solely on the foot of senior Shane Casciano. The three-year letterman averaged 34.2 yards per punt in 44 kicks with 32 going inside the 20, or resulting in fair catches or touchbacks.

Should Casciano need help this season, versatile junior Aaron Weaver worked out with the punting unit in the spring and is ready to step in.

HOFSTRA SYMBOLS AND HERITAGE The Shield Logo

In 2005 Hofstra introduced a new logo as part of a Universitywide 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 SYMBOLS AND HERITAGE 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.

MARGIOTTA HALL Opened in 1992, Margiotta Hall, a magnificent three-story, 22,500-square-foot building, is a centerpiece of the Hofstra University Lacrosse program. The state-of-the-art field house, combined with Hofstra’s 13,000seat stadium, has created one of the finest facilities in the nation. The facility was named after Joe Margiotta ’50, a former Pride studentathlete and long-time supporter. Margiotta, who founded and served as President of the Hofstra Pride Club for more than 20 years, passed away in November 2008

Margiotta Hall, designed by Angelo F. Corva & Associates, features a 3,500-square-foot weight room on the first floor. The weight room, often considered the showpiece of an athletics program, is outfitted with the most advanced strength training equipment available. The first floor also contains a spacious 2,600-square-foot football locker room that accommodates more than 100 studentathletes. The locker room was the recipient of a major makeover in 2008.

The state-of-the-art athletic training room, also located on the first floor, has hydrotherapy and electrotherapy areas, cardiovascular and isokinetic equipment, as well as taping areas, a rehabilitation area, an aerobics room, and athletic trainer and physician offices. The athletic training room also was refurbished this past winter.

On the second floor of the building, an attractive multi-purpose room, enclosed by a glass wall, provides a panoramic view of James M. Shuart Stadium and its events. Meetings and receptions for alumni, parents and friends of the Hofstra Athletic program are held in this spacious area. This level also serves as headquarters for the Men and Women’s Lacrosse coaching staffs, housing head coaches’ and assistant coaches’ offices, as well as a meeting and film room.

In 1999 an academic lab opened on the second floor of Margiotta Hall.

The computer room and learning center features a projection system and 18 workstations, which are connected to the University network for easy access to the Internet. Locker rooms for game officials and coaches are also located on this level. One of the newer additions to the second floor of Margiotta Hall is the Hofstra Trophy Room, which commemorates the achievements of Hofstra’s Men’s Lacrosse, Women’s Lacrosse and Field Hockey teams.

Photos, trophies, plaques and other awards are on display in this area. A memorial wall containing the framed jerseys and plaques of the three Hofstra Football players killed on September 11, 2001, is also on the second floor.

The lower level of Margiotta Hall contains spacious locker rooms for Hofstra’s Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse teams.

The recently dedicated Harry Royle-Vincent Sombrotto men’s locker room was completely renovated in the offseason, thanks to a gift from lacrosse alumnus James Metzger, and features new carpeting, oak lockers, and a lounge area.

Additional equipment, laundry and storage space can be found in the lower level of Margiotta Hall. A 178-seat theater and additional meeting rooms are also located there.

The lobby of Margiotta Hall contains an elegant commemorative plaque honoring donors who have contributed to this important addition to the Hofstra University campus. Those endowing scholarships and those who have dedicated a room in Margiotta Hall are also honored on the plaque.

THE HOFSTRA LOCKER ROOM The Hofstra Football Locker Room, located on the main floor of Margiotta Hall, was the recipient of a major renovation this past off-season. The 2,600-square foot, state-of-the-art room features two levels and provides ample space for players and coaches to prepare for practice and games, or to study and relax.

The lower level was outfitted with new oak lockers, new carpeting and a remodeled shower area. The sit-in lockers are spacious enough for equipment and features shelves for shoes and shoulder pads, as well as a cabinet for personal items. Each locker has a personalized nameplate with a players name and number. The main locker area also features four 52-inch flat screen televisions, while a fifth television is in the player’s lounge area.

The player’s lounge, which is on the second level of the locker room, features a top-of-the-line stereo system, as well as a Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3 game system. The entire locker room was also equipped with Dolby Surround Sound to enhance the viewing and listening experience.

The locker room also features six FatHead wall posters of Hofstra players, while other poster size photographs hang from the ceiling in the main locker room area.

The room is furnished with four leather couches and three leather recliners.

JAMES M. SHUART STADIUM In February 2002 Hofstra’s 13,000-seat stadium, home to the Pride football and lacrosse teams, was renamed James M. Shuart Stadium at Hofstra University. On August 29, 2002, the Stadium was officially dedicated.

“During Dr. James M. Shuart’s 25 remarkable years as president of Hofstra University we grew from a fine regional institution to an internationally recognized university.

Although every aspect of this University has benefited immeasurably from Jim Shuart’s leadership, we believe that his roots as a student athlete and his support of our fine athletic program makes the naming of the stadium particularly appropriate. By doing this we convey our admiration and respect for James Shuart to the thousands of individuals who use the James M. Shuart Stadium at Hofstra University each year,” said Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz.

In 2007 the artificial turf at Shuart Stadium was replaced with FieldTurf.

The FieldTurf system, which was installed by Landtek of Amityville, New York, replicates a natural grass surface, but offers the durability and cost benefits of synthetic fields. FieldTurf is a safe alternative, resulting in a documented reduction of sports injuries.

The sand and rubber infill system is the biggest technical development that the sport surfacing industry has seen in the last 25 years.

This patented technology sets FieldTurf apart from all other sports surfaces.

Shuart Stadium, then known as Hofstra Stadium, was also the benefit of a major renovation and expansion plan that was completed in the fall of 1996, and made James M. Shuart Stadium into one of the premier facilities in the Northeast.

The multi- million dollar project included the expansion of the seating capacity from 7,000 to 13,000; the installation of a network-quality lighting system for television broadcasts; an Athletic Department office building, which houses the football coaching staff, and includes a press level and a club suite level; two entrance plazas on the south and west sides of the Stadium; a facade around the outside of the Stadium; additional parking and landscaping; a pavilion in the southeast corner of the Stadium; concession and souvenir areas; two locker rooms; the installation of a scoreboard in the south end zone; and the reinstallation of a scoreboard in the north end zone. James M.

Shuart Stadium is the largest outdoor sports and entertainment complex on Long Island.

Opened in 1963, Shuart Stadium has served as the site for NCAA Championships, Nassau County and New York State High School Championships in football and lacrosse, world championships in men’s and women’s lacrosse, professional soccer, commencement exercises and cultural events. In 1968 Hofstra Stadium became the third college facility in the nation to install an artificial playing surface, following the University of Houston (The Astrodome) and Indiana State University (Memorial Stadium).

Shuart Stadium has become a focal point of the Long Island sports scene in recent years, serving as the home of the NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Championship Quarterfinals, an NCAA Men’s Lacrosse First Round game, a first round contest in the NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Championship, numerous conference championships, the Outback Steakhouse Long Island All-Star Football Game, the Fun City Bowl featuring the New York Fire and Police Department teams, the Long Island Lizards of Major League Lacrosse, and various Long Island high school and New York state championship games. The Stadium also served as a home for the Long Island Rough Riders of professional soccer’s A-League.

The largest crowds in Hofstra Stadium history occurred during the hosting of the NCAA Lacrosse Quarterfinals. A crowd of 12,292, an NCAA men’s lacrosse championship quarterfinal record and the largest-ever lacrosse crowd on Long Island, witnessed the 1999 NCAA quarterfinals featuring Hofstra versus Johns Hopkins and Duke versus Georgetown. In 2009 11,252 fans witnessed a quarterfinal doubleheader featuring Syracuse versus Maryland and Cornell versus Princeton. The 2001 NCAA Quarterfinals drew 10,510 fans as Hofstra faced off against Syracuse in the featured match-up.

THE HOWDY MYERS PAVILION In October 1998 Hofstra University President Emeritus Dr. James M. Shuart presided over the dedication ceremony for the Howdy Myers Pavilion in the south end zone of James M. Shuart Stadium. Howdy Myers served as Hofstra University’s director of athletics, head men’s lacrosse coach and head football coach for a quarter of a century. His extraordinary coaching talents in both lacrosse and football from 1950 to 1975 made Howdy Myers a legend in both sports.

Dr. Shuart, who served as a team captain under Coach Myers in both football and lacrosse in the early 1950s, praised the coaching legend. “Howdy Myers had a huge impact on intercollegiate and scholastic sports,” Shuart said. “Renowned for his coaching abilities throughout collegiate sports, Coach Myers will always be a Hofstra legend.”

Myers was personally credited with the tremendous growth of lacrosse on Long Island, through the creation of scholastic clinics and demonstrations in the 1950s, and leading the Hofstra Lacrosse program to national prominence. He was years ahead of the intercollegiate athletic world with his use of many coaching innovations in both lacrosse and football.

Howard “Howdy” Myers passed away in 1980. In 2006 he was among the inaugural class inducted into the Hofstra University Athletics Hall of Fame. Hofstra’s connection to the Myers family includes his son, Howard Myers III, his daughter, Dorsey Donnelly, and his son-inlaw, William Donnelly, who are all Hofstra alumni.

A portrait sculpture of Howdy Myers, created by artist Peter Homestead, stands in front of the Pavilion facing the Shuart Stadium field. In creating the sculpture, Mr. Homestead worked from photographs and consultations with Coach Myers’ family and friends. The completed sculpture captures the spirit and strength of Howdy Myers.

Alumni and friends of Coach Myers have joined together to establish the Howard M. Myers Jr. Endowed Athletic Scholarship in his honor. In 2002 Hofstra created the Howard “Howdy” Myers Award, which is presented to a male student-athlete in recognition of outstanding leadership and athletic performance.

As Hofstra lacrosse coach, Howdy Myers coached 26 seasons (1950-75) and recorded a 216-138-4 record. He coached Flying Dutchmen teams that captured eight divisional championships and made four NCAA Division I Championship Tournament appearances. In 1970 he received the F. Morris Touchstone Award as the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) Division I Coach of the Year. In 1971 Howdy Myers received the Governor’s Trophy for providing continuous and meaningful contributions to lacrosse. That same year he received lacrosse’s highest honor when he was inducted into the United States Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

As Hofstra’s football coach for 25 years (1950-74), Coach Myers recorded 15 winning seasons and a 141-98-4 record. In 1959 he led the Flying Dutchmen to the first undefeated (9-0-0) season in Hofstra Football history.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT Hofstra 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.

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, student-athletes 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 Hofstra’s student-athletes.

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.

The counselor’s regular communication with the faculty and coaches provide an opportunity for early intervention should academic difficulties arise.

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.

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.

Area three is academic monitoring. The UTP counselor monitors the academic progress of student‑athletes to ensure

Hofstra in the Community The Hofstra University Football program believes it has a special responsibility to the Long Island community. Thus, whether it’s during the season or during those “slow” off-season months, the Hofstra Football staff and student-athletes attempt to be highly visible in the area.

Several times each year, the Pride conducts clinics for youth and high school teams and coaches.

These player clinics reinforce the fundamentals of the game taught by their own coaches. This past March, the team conducted clinics at several area schools and recreation centers, including the Franklin Street School in Hempstead.

Hofstra players have also been involved with the Special Olympics, which have taken place on the Hofstra campus, volunteering at several events and participating in the Opening Ceremonies.

THREE FORMER HOFSTRA AND NFL GREATS HAVE THEIR PRIDE NUMBERS RETIRED: In an effort to acknowledge the outstanding accomplishments of numerous former student-athletes during the University’s nearly 75 years of existence three former Hofstra football greats, current New Orleans Saints receiver Marques Colston (#89) former New York Jets center John Schmitt (#77), and San Francisco 49ers lineman Dave Fiore (#74) had their Hofstra jersey numbers during the 2008 season.

J ack H ayes and M arques C olston

Colston, a four-year letterman and a three-year starter at Hofstra from 2001 through 2005, was selected in the seventh round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the Saints after an outstanding Pride career. An AllAtlantic 10 Football Conference first team selection as a senior, he ended his college career in grand style by breaking the Hofstra career receiving yards record formerly held by former Houston Texans/Denver Broncos receiver Charlie Adams. Colston posted 70 receptions for 975 yards and five touchdowns in 2005 to finish his career with 182 receptions for 2,834 yards and 18 touchdowns. In addition to his 2,834 receiving yards-which was broken last season by Charles Sullivan-his 182 catches currently ranks third on the Hofstra career reception list.

Colston was also named to the 81st annual East-West Shrine Game in San Antonio in 2006 and caught five passes for 82 yards and a touchdown.

Colston has emerged as one of the elite receivers in the NFL and owns the league record for receptions in his first two campaigns with a total of 168. Incidentally, Hofstra alum and retired New York Jet Wayne Chrebet was a previous holder of that record with 150 catches

2008 HOFSTRA YEAR IN REVIEW in his first two NFL seasons. Colston finished third in the voting for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year after catching 70 balls for 1,038 yards and eight scores in 2006. He was even better in 2007, posting a Saints-record 98 receptions, 1,202 yards and a team record-tying 11 touchdowns. Last year, Colston recorded 47 catches for 760 yards and five touchdowns in 11 games after battling back from an early season injury.

and was a first team All-America selection as a senior by the American Football Coaches Association, the Associated Press and the Walter Camp Foundation. During his four-year career, during which time Hofstra made the transition to I-AA from Division III, Dave started 41 of 42 games and helped lead the team to a regular season mark of 2811-2. As a senior in 1995, Hofstra was 10-1 during the regular season and advanced to the NCAA I-AA Playoffs for the first time. In addition to his All-America selections, Dave was also named to the All-ECAC team and received the Hempstead Mayor’s Trophy.

Fiore anchored an offensive line that paved the way for the team to average more than 200 yards per game rushing in 1994 and 1995 with 1995’s 261.7 yards per game average ranking as the third best in program history. Following graduation with a degree in biology, Fiore signed as a free agent with the San Francisco 49ers and went on to enjoy an eight-year career in the National Football League, including six seasons with the 49ers and two with the Washington Redskins.

While a member of the San Francisco 49ers, he received the NFL Unsung Hero Award in 2001.

J ohn S chmitt , P resident S tuart R abinowitz and J ack H ayes Schmitt, who graduated from Hofstra in 1964 with degrees in management and marketing, was a three-year letterman on the Pride football team and also lettered in wrestling and track. An offensive lineman, he received Little College All-America honors in 1963.

In 1964 he was signed by the New York Jets, starting an 11-year National Football League career that was highlighted by a Super Bowl championship in 1969. He was a starter in nine of his 10 seasons with the Jets and played in 114 games. Schmitt earned All-Pro honors in 1968 and 1969, Most Valuable Lineman accolades in 1972, and was a team captain in 1971. He saw action in 14 games for the Packers in 1974 before ending his NFL career.

Fiore is the fifth player in Hofstra football history to have his jersey number retired. Fiore was a four-year starter from 1992 through 1995

2008 HOFSTRA GAME SUMMARIES GAME 1

AUGUST 28 AT CONNECTICUT:

Connecticut running back Donald Brown set a career-high with four touchdowns and 146 rushing yards, helping the Huskies defeat the Pride, 35-3, in the season opener for both teams at Rentschler Field. It was the Pride’s first season-opening loss in five years. The contest marked just the third time the Pride played a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), formerly I-A. Hofstra posted victories against current FBS schools Buffalo and South Florida in 1999 when both schools were in transition from I-AA, and lost games at Marshall in 2003 and 2006.

Junior quarterback Cory Christopher made his first career appearance for the Pride, kicking off the 68th season of Hofstra football by going 17-28 for 130 yards and two interceptions. ay c onough Christopher was named the starter

by Head Coach Dave Cohen about 15 minutes before kickoff, replacing Bryan Savage after the starting QB was held out because of back spasms.

Hofstra came out strong and temporarily quieted the near-sellout crowd of 37,583, forcing the Huskies to go three-andout on its opening possession. Following a 47-yard punt, Connecticut’s Robbie Frey recovered Anthony Nelson’s fumble recovery at the Hofstra 1-yard line.

Brown capitalized on the turnover one play later, bullying his way into the end zone for a touchdown to open a 7-0 lead two minutes into the first quarter.

Christopher recorded his first career completion for the Pride, delivering a third-down strike to Aaron Weaver pick up the first down. But Scott Lutrus’ interception stalled the drive, giving possession back to the Huskies midway through the first. Brown added his second touchdown of the quarter, capping a seven-play drive with another 1-yard touchdown run to forge a 14-point edge with 4:47 remaining.

Brown nearly added his third touchdown of the quarter before a holding penalty negated another scoring rush. The junior tailback still tallied 86 yards on 14 carries in the opening 15 minutes.

The Pride almost got on the board in the second quarter, engineering a 15-play drive that ended after two sacks. UConn still held Hofstra off the scoreboard and surged to a 28-0 halftime lead thanks to Brown’s third and fourth rushing touchdowns of the half, including a 19-yard scamper 12 minutes into the second and a 2-yard rush into the end zone with 41 seconds remaining in the half.

Ray McDonough helped put some life back into Hofstra in the second half, picking off Tyler Lorenzen’s pass at the Huskies’ 2-yard line and returning it 54 yards. Christopher completed first-down passes to Weaver and Nelson on backto-back plays while also scrambling for another 12 yards to set up place-kicker Brian Hanly’s 29-yard field goal to put Hofstra on the scoreboard nearly 10 minutes into the third quarter.

Frey’s 2-yard touchdown run 3:33 into the final quarter capped the scoring as Connecticut improved to 3-2 in the all-time series against the Pride.

Freshman Chris Edmond collected a team-high nine tackles. McDonough added

eight tackles, the same total as freshman Gregory Melendez. Senior receiver Ottis Lewis led all Pride receivers with 32 yards on three receptions.

GAME 2

SEPTEMBER 13 VS. ALBANY:

Hofstra junior quarterback Cory Christopher passed for 272 yards and a touchdown, but it wasn’t enough as Albany got a 7-yard touchdown run from junior tailback David McCarthy in the first overtime to earn a 22-16 victory over the Pride at James M. Shuart Stadium.

Christopher completed 27 of 38 passes, while also rushing for 44 yards.

Linebacker Luke Bonus led Hofstra’s defense with eight tackles and 1 ½ sacks.

Christopher tried to win it for the Pride in regulation, initiating an 18-play drive with the scored tied at 16. The junior passer produced a mini-highlight reel on the drive, faking a handoff before scrambling up-field for a key first down on an option play to push Hofstra past midfield.

Anthony Nelson, who logged a game-high nine catches for 85 yards, sustained the drive by sprawling out for a third-down catch, giving the Pride a new set of downs on the Albany 17. Christopher ran a quarterback keeper to center the ball between the hash marks, setting up freshman kicker Brian Hanly’s potential game-winning attempt.

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY 2009 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE > > > 85

2008 HOFSTRA GAME SUMMARIES But Hanly had his 34yard field goal attempt blocked by Dave Casale with three seconds remaining, sending the contest into overtime. Hanly had another chance in overtime, lining up for a 30-yard kick that would have forced the Great Danes to score a field goal to tie or a touchdown to win.

Instead, Albany senior Raphael Nguti came up with the third block of the game for Albany. McCarty raced in for the winning score five plays later, marking just the third time the Great Danes have defeated Hofstra in 14 career meetings.

Down 16-9 early in the fourth quarter, the Pride stormed back. Christopher electrified the crowd of 5,111, eluding a sack about 10 yards in the backfield on third-and-long by juking away from linebacker Emerson Kinsey before firing a strike to Everette Benjamin for a first-down.

The drive nearly stalled near Albany’s goal line as Christopher’s third-down pass to Aaron Weaver sailed wide. Albany’s Ross Bertrand was called for pass interference, setting up freshman tailback Brock Jackolski’s first collegiate touchdown as he took the pitch and ran untouched into the left corner of the end zone, tying the game at 16 with 10:34 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Albany quarterback Vinny Espositio (10-22, 102 yards) had put the Great Danes ahead when the junior bullied his way into the end zone from 1-yard out. The touchdown forged a 16-9 lead for the Great Danes with 2:12 left in the third quarter. Nearly four minutes earlier, Albany generated points on defense to erase a 9-7 deficit. With the ball at the Hofstra 4-yard line, Christopher fumbled but recovered. Albany made the tackle in the Pride end zone for the game-tying safety.

Hofstra surged to a 6-0 lead thanks to nine-play, 59-yard drive that culminated with Christopher’s 13-yard touchdown strike to Weaver. The Pride missed the extra point, though Weaver’s first career touchdown reception gave the home team the edge on its first possession. Christopher’s bullet pass was his first touchdown pass with the Pride. But Albany rebounded late in the first quarter by marching 84 yards in 10 plays, pulling ahead thanks to the first of Esposito’s two rushing touchdowns. The quarterback pushed past the goal line for a 1-yard score. Herb Glass added the extra point, putting Albany up 7-6 entering the second quarter.

The underclassman busted through a hole, completed a spin move and raced 64 yards downfield before getting hauled down just inches from the goal line. But the Pride couldn’t punch it in and had to settle for a 33-yard field goal from Williams to boost the Pride lead to 20-14 with 3:27 to play.

The Rams came out strong, breaking open the scoring just 1:50 into the contest when Jimmy Hughes blasted through a hole for a 37-yard rushing touchdown.

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY 2009 FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE > > > 87

2008 HOFSTRA GAME SUMMARIES four turnovers also stopped four fourth-down attempts.

A fumbled punt and a turnover on downs gave Hofstra favorable field position in the first quarter, as the Pride put up 10 points. The Pride defense sustained the momentum in the second quarter, building a three-score lead when Jackman stripped Stony Brook running back Edwin Gowins of the ball and raced untouched 60 yards up the Stony Brook sideline for a touchdown, building a 17-0 lead with 14:08 to play in the half.

Stony Brook nearly set the early tone, marching all the way to the Hofstra 24 on its opening drive. Quarterback Dayne Hoffman nearly put his team on the scoreboard, finding an open receiver in the end zone. But Dwayne Eley couldn’t handle the throw and the Pride defense forced a turnover on downs.

Hofstra kept pressuring the Seawolves following Jackson’s big play. Anthony Nelson, who finished with a game-high 69 receiving yards on four catches, took a swing pass 2 yards in the backfield and sprinted up-field to sustain the drive on third-and-long. Christopher’s fourth down sneak later in the drive led to another seven points.

After a Stony Brook three-and-out, Hofstra went back to work as Brock Jackolski took an end around into the end zone from 4-yards out for a 24-0 lead midway through the second quarter. Aaron Weaver’s reception on a jump ball inside the 5-yard line set up the score. Just 12 seconds later, McDonough registered the second big play from a defensive back. The junior read Hoffman’s passing route, stepping in front of the intended receiver for his second interception of the season. Hofstra turned the mistake into points when corner Mike McCoy slipped, allowing Nelson all the time he needed to catch Christopher’s lob and increase the lead to 31-0.

Two turnovers allowed Hofstra to pad the lead in the second half. Phil Riley recovered Eley’s fumbled punt return near midfield late in the third quarter. The Pride opened up the playbook, getting Weaver got into the action as a rusher.

The wideout took a reverse 18 yards to the Stony Brook 2-yard line. Christopher added the second of his rushing touchdowns on the next play.

Edmond garnered his first collegiate interception, picking off Hoffman’s pass in the flat at the Stony Brook 28. Benjamin capped the following seven-play drive by bullying ahead for a 2-yard touchdown run to close the scoring.

James Madison was led by quarterback Rodney Landers, who completed 7 of 13 passes for 92 yards and three touchdowns, and rushed for a game-high 133 yards and one touchdown on 13 carries. The Dukes tallied 375 yards on offense.

The Pride got the first break of the game as they kicked off to JMU. Dukes’ up-man Patrick Ward took the kick and fumbled on the Dukes 41-yard line with Pride freshman Chris Edmond falling on the fumble. But Hofstra could not move the ball and punter Shane Casciano had his punt blocked by Rockeed McCarter.

Corwin Acker picked up the loose ball at the Hofstra 16 and ran it into the end zone. Dave Stannard’s point-after attempt was good giving the Dukes a 7-0 lead just 1:48 into the contest.

JMU boosted its lead to 14-0 on its next possession as Landers engineered a 10-play, 80-yard drive capped by a 3-yard scoring run by senior tailback Eugene Holloman. Landers rushed three times in the drive for 31 yards and hit McCarter for a big 27-yard gain on a third-and-11 play. Stannard’s extra-point gave the Dukes a two-touchdown lead with 7:17 to play in the first quarter. That touchdown would be the start of four straight scoring possessions for the James Madison.

Landers, who had 122 rushing yards by halftime, engineered another long drive (77 yards in 11 plays) and hit McCarter with a 7-yard scoring pass to boost the lead to 21-0 after Stannard’s extra-point just 36 seconds into the second quarter.

After Hofstra was forced to punt on its next series, Landers made quick work hitting Griff Yancey for a 49-yard touchdown pass to cap a 5-play, 59-yard drive with 9:29 to play in the half.

Orth came in and booted a 38-yard field goal to bring Bucknell closer at 31-17. After the Pride went three-and-out on their next possession, the Bison marched 88 yards in 10 plays with Lair scoring on a 5-yard run to close the deficit to 31-24 just five seconds into the fourth quarter.

But Hofstra put some breathing room between them and the Bison as Christopher engineered an eight-play, 68-yard drive and rushed the final two yards for his second touchdown of the day. Williams’ extra-point boosted the Hofstra lead to 38-24 with 12 minutes remaining in the contest.

The Pride sealed the game on their next possession after Bucknell junior running back A.J. Kizekai was stripped of the ball by Pride safety Ray McDonough on the second play of the Bison possession. Bonus recovered for Hofstra at the Bucknell 36. Christopher made quick work, rushing for eight yards, hitting receiver Derek Benson for a 23-yard gain and finding senior tight end Phil Riley for a 5-yard touchdown toss. Williams’ PAT put the Pride ahead, 45-24, with 11:03 to play.

The Bison closed out the scoring in the final two minutes as Lair put together a 14-play, 76-yard drive, rushing for 53 of the yards including a 4-yard scoring run to cap the possession.

GAME 7

OCTOBER 18 AT MAINE:

Brian Harvey’s extra-point following a 25-yard touchdown grab by Jared Turcotte in the second overtime gave the Black Bears of Maine a 41-40 victory over the Hofstra Pride in a CAA game at Alfond Stadium. The Pride had rallied to tie the game in the fourth quarter and in the first overtime.

The loss spoiled the Hofstra debut of freshman quarterback Steve Probst, who entered the game in the second quarter following an injury to starter Cory Christopher. Probst completed 14 of 20 passes for 135 yards and three touchdowns, including two in the overtime teve robst periods. He also rushed 16 times for 63 yards. Ottis Lewis posted a career-best nine receptions for 77 yards and hauled in game-tying scores in the fourth quarter and overtime. Aaron Weaver tallied seven catches for 77 yards and one touchdown while Everette Benjamin had 47 yards on 11 carries and caught two passes for 14 yards and a touchdown. The Pride defense was led by Chris Edmond and Greg Melendez with career-highs of 13 and 10 tackles, respectively.

2008 HOFSTRA GAME SUMMARIES Maine was led by quarterback Michal Brusko, who completed eight-of-11 passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns, and rushed 19 times for 113 yards.

Turcotte rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries, and tallied five catches for 69 yards and a score, while classmate Derek Session posted 67 yards on 17 carries and two touchdowns, and hauled in two passes for 46 yards and a touchdown.

Regulation ended in dramatic fashion as the Pride recovered a Maine fumble on the Hofstra 2-yard line with 42 seconds to play and then killed the clock with the game tied at 27. In the first overtime Maine got the ball first and Session, after having a touchdown run called back earlier in the drive by a penalty, scored on a 4-yard run. Harvey’s extra-point was good. But Probst kept Hofstra alive in their OT possession with a key 14-yard run to the 12-yard line on a third down play. After the Pride picked up another 3 yards on a reverse to Weaver, Probst hit Lewis in the corner of the end zone for the touchdown. Roger Williams tied the game at 34-all with the extra-point.

In the second overtime Hofstra got the ball first and Probst directed a five-play drive and hit Benjamin for a 2-yard touchdown toss. But Williams’ extra-point was missed wide left. Maine took advantage of the miss and on the first play Brusko found Turcotte on a crossing pattern for a 25-yard touchdown. Harvey’s point-after gave the Black Bears the victory.

Maine jumped out to a 13-0 lead after just 2:19 with a little help from the Pride.

On Maine’s first drive Brusko directed a 68-yard drive in four plays and capped the series with a 38-yard scoring pass to Session. Harvey’s point-after gave the Black Bears a 7-0 lead just 1:58 into contest.

After Hofstra sophomore Anthony Nelson returned the ensuing kickoff 29 yards to the Pride 48-yard line, Christopher was picked off on the first play from scrimmage by linebacker Sean Wasson, who returned the ball 49 yards to the Hofstra 2-yard line. Session then carried the ball the final 2 yards into the end zone. Harvey’s point-after attempt was missed and Maine had a 13-0 lead with 12:41 to play in the first quarter.

But the Pride battled back and scored on their next three possessions to take a 17-13 lead. After the second Maine touchdown Christopher led the Pride on a 12-play, 60-yard drive and hit Weaver for an 8-yard touchdown pass. Roger Williams’ extra-point cut the Pride deficit to 13-7 with 7:36 to play in the first quarter.

After Session fumbled on a Melendez hit with Edmond recovering for Hofstra, the Pride took over on the Maine 46. Christopher used his arm to direct a 54yard, eight-play drive with Jackolski rushing 4 yards into the end zone for his sixth touchdown of the season. Williams’ extra-point gave the Pride a 14-13 lead with 1:49 to play in the opening stanza.

Hofstra forced the Black Bears to turn the ball over on downs on their next possession, after a fake punt was sniffed out by Christian Dennis, giving the Pride the ball on the Maine 4-yard line. Maine held the Pride offense, as the game moved into the second quarter, and Hofstra had to settle for a 20-yard field goal by Williams just 42 seconds into the second period for a 17-13 lead.

While Hofstra was able to hold Maine the rest of the half both Christopher and back-up running back Justine Buries both went down with serious injuries during the ensuing possessions. Jackolski, who also would be hurt before halftime, took three snaps at quarterback before Probst came off the bench to replace Christopher.

The Pride boosted their lead to 20-13 just 3:17 into the second half on a 42-yard field goal by Williams. But Maine came back and posted two, quick-strike touchdowns in the final four minutes of the period to take a 27-20 lead after three quarters. Brusko’s 14-yard scoring run capped a four-play, 61-yard drive and Harvey tied it at 20-all with the extra-point with 3:19 to play. Then Turcotte broke away for a 71-yard scoring run with 34 seconds remaining in the third.

Harvey’s extra-point gave the Black Bears a 27-20 lead.

74-yard drive and hit Lewis on a 23-yard scoring pass with 11:09 to play in regulation. Lewis, running down the Maine sideline, came back and stepped in front of two defenders to grab the scoring pass. It was Lewis’ first touchdown grab of the season and Probst’s first TD pass of his career.

Maine mounted a long drive inside 3:00 remaining in regulation, getting into field goal range at the Pride 24-yard line. But on the next play Brusko fumbled at the 6-yard line with Hofstra safety Ray McDonough recovering at the 2 with 42 seconds remaining. Hofstra was able to run out the clock and send the game to overtime.

OCTOBER 25 VS. DELAWARE:

Junior Jabbie rushed for a game-high 155 yards and a touchdown, leading Delaware to a 17-0 CAA victory over the Hofstra Pride at rainy and windswept James M. Shuart Stadium.

Hofstra tailback Everette Benjamin led the Pride, running for 71 yards on 13 carries while freshman quarterback Steve Probst made his first start for the Pride, completing 11 of 28 passes for 71 yards in 20 mph winds. The Pride, who were without offensive coordinator Dave Patenaude due to a family emergency, posted their second-lowest offensive total of the year with 179 yards, just 9 yards more than in the season opener at Connecticut.

Delaware utilized a unique quarterback tandem to improve to record its first conference win this season. Tight end Robbie Agnone and wide receiver Aaron Love split the passing duties, combining for 8 of 11 passing and 77 yards. Delaware tallied 257 yards on offense in the contest.

Agnone, who finished with 39 passing yards, also added a 1-yard quarterback keeper for Delaware’s final touchdown with 8:01 left. Jabbie rushed 31 times, including a firstquarter touchdown run that proved to be the game-winning score.

Delaware surged to a 10-0 halftime lead, working almost exclusively from the shotgun on offense. Jabbie capitalized on a slew of draw plays, rushing for 96 yards on 17 carries in the first half. The Blue Hens took advantage of great field position after the wind held up a Hofstra punt late in the first quarter, giving Delaware possession at the Hofstra 12-yard line. Two plays later, Jabbie plowed through the line for a 4-yard touchdown run, putting the visitors up 7-0 with 6:19 remaining in the quarter.

Hofstra’s defense clamped down on another promising Delaware drive late in the second quarter, setting up a fourth-and-one at the Pride 12-yard line. The Blue Hens kept the offense on the field before a false start penalty forced Delaware to settle for three points. Jon Striefsky’s 27-yard field goal extended the lead to 10-0 with 5:12 left in the half, capping a 12-play drive.

Probst attempted to ignite a second half-comeback, leading the Pride downfield midway through the third quarter before Delaware forced a fourth-and-three at the 15-yard line. Hofstra elected to go for it, but Brandon Gilbeaux stopped Probst on a quarterback keeper just short of the first-down marker with 6:26 left in the period. Hofstra held the ball for 13:43 in the third quarter but couldn’t put any points on the board.

Delaware rounded out the scoring early in the fourth after a high snap on a Hofstra punt attempt gave the Blue Hens possession just inches from the Pride goal line. Two plays later, Agnone bullied his way into the end zone for a threescore lead with 8:01 remaining.

The Pride’s defense did its best to minimize the damage in the soggy conditions, forcing five punts while also generating a first-half turnover. Down just 7-0 with

Richmond scored on five of its six first-half possessions, starting the scoring off quickly. On the first play from scrimmage, Ward connected on a downfield strike thanks to Kevin Grayson’s sliding catch, which completed a 35-yard play.

On the next play, Vaughan pushed his hristian ennis way past the line of scrimmage, sprinting down the Hofstra sideline for a 32-yard pickup. Ward’s 1-yard quarterback keeper on the next play gave the Spiders a 7-0 lead just 52 seconds into the game.

Richmond sustained the pressure as Hofstra’s offense struggled on its first two possessions. Vaughan extended another scoring drive, finding a seam on fourthand-one for a 15-yard gain on a rush beyond the right hash marks. Vaughan also drew a personal foul facemask penalty, giving Richmond 30 yards on the play.

Andrew Howard’s 22-yard-field goal with 20 seconds remaining capped Richmond’s third straight successful drive as the Spiders built a 17-0 edge heading into the second quarter. Howard increased the lead by three with 8:33 left in the half, as Richmond benefitted from a fortuitous bounce. His 53-yard kick hit the crossbar and skipped over for a 20-0 lead. The field goal was just 1-yard shy of the stadium record and the second-longest in Richmond history.

The Pride defense, which was led by Nick Altomare’s eight unassisted tackles, still couldn’t find an answer for Vaughan. The 6-0, 232-pound rusher added his first touchdown run, scoring on an off-tackle rush to the left side for a 27-0 lead with 3:09 left in the first half.

Hofstra’s offense awoke in the second half, led by Probst’s methodical passing strikes. The freshman signal caller put the Pride on the scoreboard when he rolled out and found Christian Dennis alone at the 5-yard line. The rookie cruised into the end zone for his first career touchdown, cutting the deficit to 27-7 with 10:24 left in the third quarter.

Hofstra’s defense followed up the offensive breakthrough with a goal-line stand as Pride tackles Elliott Antoine and Al Carmody stuffed John Crone at the 1-yard line on fourth-and-goal to give the Pride possession midway through the third quarter. But Hofstra could not turn the stop into points and gave the ball back to Richmond after their drive stalled.

Richmond responded with another 75-yard drive capped by Vaughan’s second touchdown run from 1-yard out just 46 seconds in the fourth quarter. Weaver’s 1-yard TD run on a reverse was the Pride’s last salvo, capping a 15-play, 80-yard drive that made it 34-14 with 4:16 left.

2008 HOFSTRA GAME SUMMARIES GAME 11

NOVEMBER 15 VS. NORTHEASTERN:

Everette Benjamin racked up a career-high 122 yards and a touchdown, keying an offensive onslaught as the Pride posted a 42-14 victory over Northeastern in a CAA matchup at James M. Shuart Stadium.

The Pride outgained the Huskies, 523-171, to snap a four-game losing streak in the last home game of the season. It was Hofstra’s first 500-yard contest since the 2005 season. Freshman Brock Jackolski added 91 yards on just nine carries, scoring two touchdowns.

The Pride accumulated 342 rushing yards, marking the second time this season that the team topped 300 yards on the ground. Benjamin, who posted his previous career-high of 93 rushing yards verette enjamin on 20 carries last year against Northeastern, torched the Huskies again as he averaged 5.1 yards per carry on 24 attempts and added three catches for 30 yards out of the backfield.

Receiver Aaron Weaver’s two first-half touchdowns helped Hofstra surge to an early lead. Freshman quarterback Steve Probst complemented the ground game, completing 16 of 22 passes for two touchdowns. Probst completed at least one pass to seven different receivers and also added 67 rushing yards.

On senior day, Mike Denimarck recorded his first two catches of the season for 47 yards including a 27-yard reception. Ray Bennett also got into the action, rushing for 10 yards and his first career touchdown. Hofstra’s defense held Huskies quarterback Anthony Orio to just 66 yards and recorded two interceptions. The Pride scored three touchdowns off three Northeastern turnovers thanks to a defensive unit led by Luke Bonus’ 10 tackles and one forced fumble.

Jackolski scored both of his touchdowns in the second half to pad the lead, notching 21-yard and 19-yard touchdown runs. Bennett’s 2-yard touchdown run extended Hofstra’s lead to 42-7 just 2:48 into the fourth quarter. Northeastern’s John Sperrazza added a 2-yard touchdown run with 5:01 remaining in the game, capping the scoring.

At halftime, Hofstra honored former San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman and Hofstra alumnus Dave Fiore, retiring his No. 74 during a ceremony. Before the festivities, the Pride ensured the crowd of 1,520 in attendance was in a good mood.

Probst methodically drove the Pride down the field in the first half, completing 14 of his 19 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns in building a 15-point halftime lead. But things looked shaky for Hofstra initially. Darryl Jones recovered Probst’s fumble, stalling the Pride’s first drive at the Huskies 24-yard line. Yet Ray McDonough returned the favor the following possession, grabbing his third interception of the season off a pass intended for Tony Lott.

Hofstra took advantage of the miscue when Probst connected with Weaver for the first of his two touchdown receptions in the first half. Weaver caught Probst’s

bullet pass for the 2-yard scoring strike, putting the Pride up 7-0 with 7:54 remaining in the first quarter.

The Pride’s defense stymied the Huskies in the opening half, forcing three punts and an interception on Northeastern’s first four drives. Hofstra parlayed the stops into good field position, marching deep into Northeastern territory near the end of the first quarter before four penalties backed the offense up. Kicker Roger Williams made sure the home team walked away with points though, drilling a record-tying 54-yard field goal to extend Hofstra’s lead to 10-0 with 40 seconds left in the first. Williams’ kick tied a school record set twice by Dave Ettinger, who hit a 54-yarder against Lafayette in 1995 and another kick of the same distance against Southwest Texas State in 1996.

Northeastern’s only score in the opening 30 minutes came off a turnover. David Akinniyi forced Probst to fumble with Michael Laperriere recovering. Four plays later, Alex Broomfield capitalized with a 3-yard touchdown run 4:09 into the second quarter, cutting Hofstra’s lead to 10-7.

The “Wildcat” offensive formation helped Hofstra recapture the momentum.

Jackolski picked up 10 yards on third-and-two off a reverse pitch. Benjamin’s 25-yard touchdown one play later extended the Pride’s lead to 16-7 with just 2:11 left in the first-half.

Driving rain bombarded the field moments after the ensuing kickoff. The weather conditions failed to hinder the Pride defense. Deron Mayo tipped an Orio pass at the line and intercepted it, giving the Pride the ball back just 35 seconds later. Weaver then hooked up with Probst for the second time. Facing one-on-one coverage, Weaver gained position over Steven Sesay, hauling in a fade pass in the left corner of the end zone with seven seconds left on the clock.

The Pride couldn’t convert the two-point conversion but still went into halftime with a 22-7 edge.

After a scoreless third quarter in which the Pride had the ball for 12:41 of the 15 minutes, Hofstra had a chance to tie the game on a carry-over 18-play, 87-yard drive from the third quarter that moved the ball to the UMass 13-yard line. But on the next play, Benjamin fumbled at the Massachusetts 11 ending the Pride’s longest drive of the season.

GAME 12

NOVEMBER 22 AT MASSACHUSETTS:

Tailback Tony Nelson rushed for 204 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Massachusetts Minutemen to a 28-14 CAA victory over the Hofstra Pride at McGuirk Stadium.

as six teams ranked among the national Top-25 during the season, while both James Madison and Richmond had a strangle-hold on the No. 1 spot over the last 11 weeks of the season. CAA Football upped its record of national player of the week honorees by earning 19 last season, compared to 15 accolades in 2007. All of the regular season success carried over into the postseason when, once again, CAA Football equalled its own record by placing five squads in the NCAA Division I Football Championships. Prior to the 2007 season no conference had earned more than four berths in one season, and CAA Football has now done it twice in two seasons.

The CAA Football dominance in the regular

season carried over into the postseason as four of its five playoff squads advanced to the quarterfinal round. Both James Madison and Richmond moved on to the final four, marking the ninth time in 12 years a CAA Football squad has competed in the semifinals. Richmond logged a

first NCAA crown under the CAA Football banner. Richmond’s National Championship was also the league’s fourth in 10 years and third over the last six seasons. Following the season, the league boasted six Top-25 teams, four Top10 squads and notched a total of 78 All-America honors.

The quality and depth of CAA Football

is unmatched in the FCS. Ten of the league’s 12 teams have participated in the NCAA playoffs over the past eight seasons and at least one team has advanced to the national semifinals in nine of the last 12 years.

In 2004, James Madison claimed the

national championship with a 31-21 triumph over Montana, becoming the first team to reach the title game by winning three road playoff contests since the field expanded to 16 teams in 1986. Delaware rolled past Colgate 40-0 to capture the national championship in 2003, becoming the first team to ever post a shutout in the title game. No other conference has had two different teams win national titles in backto-back years. Massachusetts earned a national championship in 1998, beating perennial power Georgia Southern, 55-43.

Along with the team accomplishments,

the conference has accumulated numerous individual accolades. Santos (2006), William & Mary quarterback Lang Campbell (2004), Villanova running back Brian Westbrook (2001), Villanova wide receiver Brian Finneran (1997),

New Hampshire running back Jerry Azumah (1998) and Towson running back Dave Meggett (1988) all have won the prestigious Walter Payton Award under the league banner. James Madison linebacker Derrick Lloyd received the Buck Buchanan Award in 2001. New Hampshire’s Sean McDonnell (2005), James Madison’s Mickey Matthews (1999 & 2008), Villanova’s Andy Talley (1997) and Boston University’s Dan Allen (1993) have earned the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award. Richmond’s Mike London (2008), Matthews (2004), Massachusetts’ Mark Whipple (1998) and Talley (1997)have garnered the American Football Coaches Association National Coach of the Year honor.

The CAA Football geographic footprint encompasses much of the East Coast with schools located from Maine to Virginia. Members include Delaware, Hofstra, James Madison, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Northeastern, Rhode Island, Richmond, Towson, Villanova and William and Mary. While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date back more than 60 years.

On December 3, 1946, the Code of the Yankee Conference

went into effect. Established as an all-sports conference for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except football. Delaware and Richmond were admitted to the conference in 1986, Villanova was added in 1988 and James Madison, Northeastern and William and Mary joined the league in 1993.

November 25, 1995 - First Round at Delaware:

Three of four Hofstra turnovers resulted in Blue Hen touchdowns, including a 100-yard interception return by Paul Williams as Delaware defeated the Flying Dutchmen, 38-17 in the first round of the NCAA FCS playoffs at Delaware Stadium. In a scoreless game after Delaware’s second possession, Hofstra returner Cedric Johnson fumbled a punt on the Dutchmen 11 setting up the Delaware’s first score of the day. Five plays later, Kai Hebron scored the first of his two touchdowns on the day. Early in the second quarter, Dutchmen quarterback Kharon Brown’s pass was intercepted by Ken Bailey, who returned the ball 54 yards to the Hofstra 32-yard line. Eight plays later, Hebron notched his second touchdown of the game on a 3-yard run. After a Delaware field goal, Hofstra got on the board with a 1-yard run by Brown. But the Blue Hens started putting the nails in the coffin when quarterback Leo Hamlet led Delaware on a seven-play, 65-yard drive resulting in a 24-yard touchdown pass to Courtney Batts just four seconds before halftime. The Dutchmen opened the second half with a nine-play drive resulting in a 5-yard scoring pass from Brown to Erik Michael to close the gap to 24-14. But Delaware answered with a four-play, 73-yard drive resulting in a 19-yard scoring run by Hamlett.

Trailing 31-17 with less than two minutes to play, Kharon Brown was intercepted by Williams, who took the ball the length of the field for the touchdown. Delaware rushed for 241 yards including 59 by Hamlett and 57 by Hebron. Jimmy Jones, who rushed for 125 yards on 19 carries, and receiver Robert Grogan, who caught 10 passes for 78 yards, led Hofstra.

1997

November 29, 1997 - First Round - at Delaware:

Despite being held to just 225 yards on the day, the Blue Hens of Delaware took advantage of four Hofstra miscues to score all of its points and take a 24-14 victory over the Flying Dutchmen in the first round of the FCSplayoffs at Delaware Stadium. Delaware jumped out to a 17-0 lead at halftime on a 1-yard touchdown run by Andre Thompson, a 47-yard field goal by Sean Leach, and an 8-yard blocked punt return by Jamie Belle. Thompson’s score was set up after Hofstra punter Dave Ettinger let the snap go through his hands leaving the Blue Hens with the ball on the Hofstra 13-yard line. Four plays later, Delaware had a touchdown. Leach’s field goal came following a Giovanni Carmazzi interception while Belle’s score came after Brian Smith blocked Ettinger’s punt on the Hofstra 8-yard line. Delaware boosted the lead to 24-0 in the third quarter when Mike Pearson picked off a Carmazzi pass and went 64 yards to the Hofstra 1-yard line. Craig Cummings went up the middle for the score one play later.

Hofstra did get touchdown receptions from Bryan Kish in the third and fourth quarters, but it was too little, too late. Hofstra outgained Delaware, 361-225, but couldn’t overcome its own miscues.

Lehigh:

Junior receiver Steve Jackson hauled in 11 passes for 144 yards and senior running back Jimmy Jones rushed 25 times for 138 yards to lead the third-seeded Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra to a 27-15 victory over the 14th-seeded Mountain Hawks of Lehigh at Hofstra Stadium. The Mountain Hawks jumped out to a 10-0 lead on a 23-yard field goal by Jaron Taaffe after a Hofstra fumble, and a Ron Jean 2-yard scoring run. After Hofstra kicker Chad Johnson closed the gap to 10-3 with a 21-yard field goal at the end of the first quarter, Taaffe booted a 20-yard field goal three minutes into the second period to boost the Lehigh lead to 13-3. But Hofstra All-America quarterback Gio Carmazzi led the Flying Dutchmen on a nine-play, 67-yard drive capped by a 1-yard dive and then a seven-play, 62-yard drive capped by an 11-yard Carmazzi-to-Jackson scoring toss. After a scoreless third quarter, Hofstra boosted its lead to 20-13 on a 27yard field goal by Chad Johnson. Jackson and Carmazzi put the nail in the Lehigh coffin when they hooked up on a 6-yard scoring pass. Hofstra closed out the scoring by scoring for Lehigh on a team safety with 2:33 to play. Carmazzi was 22 for 30 for 258 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions as Hofstra racked up 394 yards on offense. The Hofstra defense held Lehigh RB Ron Jean to just 52 yards on 16 carries. Quarterback Phil Stambaugh completed 30 of 44 passes for 323 yards, while Kody Fedorcha hauled in nine passes for 117 yards.

December 4, 1999 - Quarterfinals - vs.

Illinois State: Freshman quarterback Dusty Burk completed 31 of 37 passes for 350 yards and two touchdowns as the Redbirds of Illinois State ended Hofstra’s season with a 37-20 victory over the Dutchmen in a FCS playoff quarterfinal game at Hofstra Stadium. The loss ended the spectacular career of Dutchmen quarterback Giovanni Carmazzi, who completed 28 of 35 passes for 291 yards and two touchdowns before leaving the game early in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. Running back Jimmy Jones, who caught nine passes for 116 yards and rushed 14 times for 51 yards in the contest, gave Hofstra the early 7-0 lead with a 4-yard scoring run late in the first quarter. But Jake Strader’s 32-yard field goal with 3:15 to play started a 24-0 run for the Redbirds that gave them a commanding 24-7 lead at halftime. The second quarter was especially devastating for the Dutchmen as Illinois State ran up 217 yards of offense while holding Hofstra to 43, and scored two touchdowns off of Dutchmen fumbles.

ISU running back Willie Watts scored twice in the quarter on runs of 4 and 5 yards. Hofstra seemed to get back on track in the third quarter, marching 71 yards on the first possession of the second half capped by a 35-yard scoring pass

Hofstra Playoff History from Carmazzi to Jones. But ISU responded two possessions later with a 6-yard scoring pass from Ryan Spielman to Tom Bardwell to boost the Redbird lead to 30-13. Carmazzi then led Hofstra on an 11-play, 73-yard drive capped with a 13yard scoring pass to Bill Morales. The touchdown closed the Hofstra gap to 3020 with 3:42 to play in the third quarter. But ISU, once again, scored as Burk engineered a nine-play, 80-yard drive in 3:30 and hit Steve Kostro with a 34yard scoring pass to bump the lead to 37-20. Hofstra did not want to go quietly as Carmazzi drove Hofstra from its own 20-yard line to the ISU 12-yard line.

But the wind came out of Hofstra’s sails when Carmazzi was sacked and knocked out of the game on the next play and Rocky Butler was picked off at the goal line two plays later. It would be the closest either team would get to the end zone the rest of the way. Bill Morales (73 yards) and Steve Jackson (47 yards) each caught seven passes for Hofstra. Rickey Garrett (90 yards) and Aveion Cason (88 yards) each caught seven passes for Illinois State. Cason led ISU’s ground attack with 59 yards on 10 carries as the Redbirds tallied 540 yards on offense to Hofstra’s 425.

November 25, 2000- First Round at Furman:

Rocky Butler completed 19 of 34 passes for 262 yards and a touchdown and also rushed for two scores and Trevor Dimmie posted his eighth 100-yard rushing game of the year to lead the 11th-seeded Pride of Hofstra to a 31-24 victory over the sixth-seeded Paladins of Furman in a FCS playoff opening round game at Paladin Stadium. After the two teams played to a 10-10 tie after the first 30 minutes, Hofstra took a 17-10 lead at the 9:32 mark of the third quarter on a 2-yard scoring run by Rocky Butler. But Furman’s Louis Ivory, I-AA’s leading rusher in 2000, tied the score three minutes later with a 3-yard scoring run before lady luck smiled on Hofstra. With just 25 seconds to play in the quarter, Butler threw a 39-yard scoring pass to Kahmal Roy that was deflected by a Furman defensive back on the goal line. Roy followed the deflection and caught the ball in the end zone for the touchdown and a 24-17 lead. Hofstra stopped Furman on its next possession and forced the Paladins to punt at the Furman 30-yard line.

The punt-snap sailed over the head of Furman punter Lee Willis toward the goal line. Willis chased the ball back to the one-yard line and kicked the ball out of the end zone causing an illegal touch penalty, giving Hofstra the ball at the 1-yard line. Butler rushed the ball in for Hofstra giving the Pride a 31-17 lead.

Furman came right back and went on an 11-play, 65-yard drive with Justin Hill scoring on a 5-yard run to close the gap to 31-24. Hofstra had two more possessions to put a little cushion on the scoreboard but could not move the ball and the Hofstra defense stopped the Furman offense inside of three minutes remaining twice. On Furman’s final possession, taking over with 1:31 to play at their own 24-yard line, the Paladins moved the ball to the Hofstra 20-yard line.

But the Hofstra defense stood tall once again, and after a first down pass for a gain of five, stopped Hill for a loss of three yards before two incompletions gave the ball back to the Pride with 16 seconds to play. Hofstra outgained Furman on the muddy field 462-400 as Dimmie rushed for 130 yards on 21 carries. Charlie Adams led the aerial attack with 8 catches for 95 yards. Ivory led Furman with 172 yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries.

December 2, 2000 - Quarterfinals at Georgia Southern:

All-American Adrian Peterson led a potent Eagle ground attack with 146 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and quarterback J.R. Revere rushed for 94 yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries to lead top-ranked Georgia Southern to a 48-20 victory over the Pride at Paulson Stadium. The Eagles rushed for 430 yards and added another 92 through the air to outgain Hofstra, 522-394. The first nine minutes of the contest were fairly quiet as Hofstra had the first chance to score but missed a 51-yard field goal. After the Eagles and Pride went three-andout, Revere got Georgia Southern going. On three consecutive eight-play drives Revere scored on 5, 17 and 3-yard runs to give the Eagles a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter. Hofstra kicker Chad Johnson put Hofstra on the board with a 20-yard field goal before Scott Shelton booted a 25-yard field to close out the first half scoring with the Eagles ahead 24-3. Peterson had 82 yards, Revere had 54 yards and Mark Myers added 45 ground yards for Georgia Southern in the first half alone. Any hopes for a second half Hofstra rally quickly dissipated on the first possession as Myers rushed for 45 yards and Peterson added 27 in the Eagles eight-play, 72-yard drive with Peterson scoring from one yard out. After Hofstra could not move the ball on its next possession, Georgia Southern went on a seven-play, 59-yard drive with Peterson scoring from three yards out to give the Eagles a 38-3 lead. Rocky Butler would score Hofstra’s first of two touchdowns on the day on the next possession on a 13-yard run. Shelton and Johnson would exchange field goals once again before Mike Youngblood picked off a Butler pass and went 52-yards for a Georgia Southern touchdown. Hofstra back-up running back Tyree Johnson, who gained 93 yards on 13 carries in the contest, posted the Pride’s last touchdown on a two-yard run early in the fourth quarter. Freshman sensation Trevor Dimmie rushed for 112 yards on 19 carries for the Pride, while Butler completed 17 of 33 passes for 169 yards.

December 1, 2001 - First Round - at Lehigh:

Lehigh kicker Brian Kelley booted a 24-yard field goal in the first overtime to cap a late Mountain Hawk rally as Lehigh, the Patriot League champions, ended Hofstra’s season with a 27-24 victory in the first round of the FCS playoffs at Goodman Stadium. Hofstra jumped out to a 14-0 lead late in the first quarter as Trevor Dimmie scored on a 2-yard run and Kahmal Roy hauled in a 38-yard scoring pass from Rocky Butler. Lehigh got on the board midway through the second quarter as Sam Roberts b locked Joe Nolan’s punt and then recovered the ball in the end zone. Hofstra boosted the lead to 17-7 just 50 seconds before halftime on a 33-yard field goal by Chris Onorato. But Lehigh closed the gap to 17-10 as Kelley hit a 32-yard field goal as time in the first half expired. Hofstra’s advancement in the playoffs looked promising midway through the third quarter after Doug Shanahan picked off a Brant Hall pass and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown and a 24-10 lead. But Lehigh Coach Pete Lembo made a change after the next possession that would help change the Mountain Hawks’ fortunes.

Replacing Hall with Luke Ciannello, Lehigh immediately scored on an 86-yard scoring pass to Michael Sutton to cut the deficit to 24-17. The score remained that way until late in the fourth quarter when it appeared as if Hofstra would add an insurance score, moving the ball to the Lehigh 5-yard line on a 45-yard drive in 4:48 before Trevor Dimmie fumbled a pitch and gave the Mountain Hawks the ball on their own 8-yard line with 3:07 to play. Ciannello engineered a 14play, 92-yard drive with Jermaine Pugh catching a 4-yard scoring pass from Ciannello with 19 seconds to play in regulation. Kelley’s PAT tied the game at 24 as the contest headed into the sudden victory overtime tiebreaker. Hofstra was able to move the ball from Lehigh 25-yard line to the 8 before Abdul Byron recorded a spectacular interception near the goal line. Lehigh ran four rushing plays, one by Ciannello and three by Pugh to get the ball to the Hofstra 7-yard line before Kelley booted the game-winner on second down. Ciannello completed 13 of 19 passes for 249 yards and two touchdowns, while Michael Sutton hauled in six passes for 141 yards and a touchdown as Lehigh outgained Hofstra, 468-433. Dimmie rushed 37 times for 144 yards and a touchdown, Butler completed 19 of 35 passes for 257 yards, and Roy caught eight passes for 133 yards and a score to lead Hofstra.

Hofstra in the pros Draft Selections In 2006, for the first time in Hofstra history, two Pride players were selected in the National Football League Draft. Offensive tackle Willie Colon was selected in the fourth round by the World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, while wide receiver Marques Colston was picked by the New Orleans Saints in the seventh round. Hofstra quarterback Giovanni Carmazzi, who was chosen in the third round of the 2000 National Football League Draft at Madison Square Garden, is the highest NFL-drafted Hofstra player in school history. He eclipsed Lance Schulters, who was picked by San Francisco in the fourth round of the 1998 NFL Draft. In the Canadian Football League, Patrick Dorvelus is Hofstra’s highest-ever draft pick.

He was selected fifth in the first round of the 2002 CFL Draft.

Three seasons into his NFL career with the New Orleans Saints, Marques Colston has emerged as one of the elite receivers in the NFL and owns the league record for receptions in his first two campaigns with a total of 168. Incidentally, Hofstra alum and retired New York Jet Wayne Chrebet was a previous holder of that record with 150 catches in his first two NFL seasons.

After catching 70 balls for 1,038 yards and eight scores in 2006, Colston finished third in the voting for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. He was even better in 2007 – posting a Saints-record 98 receptions, 1,202 yards and a team record-tying 11 touchdowns. Colston recorded 760 yards and five scores in 2008.
