This is Hofstra University 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.

ofstra 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 worldclass 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.

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 yearlong 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

Women’s sports include basketball, volleyball, softball, tennis, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, cross country and golf. Hofstra’s academic programs are accredited by numerous national agencies and the University is one of only 276 schools, out of more than 3,600 colleges and universities nationwide, with a chapter of the national honor society Phi Beta Kappa. Of Hofstra’s 1,185 faculty members, 551 are full time and 90 percent hold the highest degree in their fields. The average undergraduate class size is 22 students, while student-faculty ratio is 14-to-1.

Hofstra’s C.V. Starr Hall offers academic facilities that are among the most technologically advanced in the nation. Every seat in every classroom allows students direct access to the Internet and Hofstra network, including the resources of Hofstra’s Axinn Library. Hofstra’s growing computer facilities offer extensive high-tech training opportunities. There are computer terminals throughout the campus for student and faculty use, with more than 750 PC, Macintosh and UNIX workstations available in labs and classrooms. Hofstra hosts more than 500 cultural events annually, bringing thousands of scholars, dignitaries and other participants to campus. More than 200 musical and dramatic performances take place on campus each year.

Hofstra University is 100-percent program accessible to persons with disabilities, and has been cited as a national model for this achievement.

The Hofstra Museum, which houses one of the largest art collections in the metropolitan area, coordinates approximately eight exhibitions annually and offers exhibition areas and an extensive outdoor sculpture collection, with 75 pieces.

Head Coach Simon Riddiough

imon Riddiough is entering his fourth year as the Hofstra Women’s Soccer coach in 2009. He was named the second head coach in the history of the program when he was promoted to the position following JoAnne Russell’s retirement at the conclusion of the 2005 season.

In 2007, Riddiough guided Hofstra to the most successful season in school history (18-4). The Pride finished with a school record 18 wins, won the Colonial Athletic Association championship and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, defeating Ohio State 1-0 in the first round and taking regional top seed Penn State into overtime in the second round. He was named the Northeast Region Coach of the Year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) for his efforts. Riddiough led Hofstra to an 11-8-3 record in 2008, including a return trip to the CAA finals (where it fell 1-0 in double-overtime), as he improved his career record to 38-20-5. Riddiough has been a member of the Hofstra Women’s Soccer staff for 13 years, including the previous four as an associate head coach prior to his promotion to the head coaching position. Riddiough joined the coaching ranks in 1996 after spending two years as a graduate assistant in the Hofstra Sports Facilities Department, pursuing a master’s degree in counseling.

Riddiough, a 1994 Hofstra graduate with a degree in physical education, was a four-year letterman and captain on the Flying Dutchmen soccer team from 1990 through 1994. He was an All-New York Region performer in 1993 and 1994, and an All-East Coast Conference pick in 1993. Riddiough was also a member of the all-region academic squad. In his Hofstra career he recorded 13 goals and 15 assists. A hard-nosed defender as a player, Riddiough has helped develop the Hofstra Women’s Soccer program into one of the top defensive teams in the nation in recent seasons. The Pride ranked third in the nation in team defense in 2003 (0.45 goals per game), while tying for the fewest goals allowed in the entire country (nine), and also ranked 16th in the nation in 2002 (0.69 goals per game). In 2005, Hofstra allowed only three goals in 11 conference games on its way to winning the CAA championship and earning its first-ever NCAA Division I tournament appearance. Last season, Hofstra set a school record with 12 shutouts, including seven straight. Riddiough played with the Greek American Atlas from 1995 through 1997 and won a USYSA Region I championship with the club. He also appeared in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open Cup with the Greek American Atlas. In 1998 and 1999, Riddiough played with the New York Freedoms of the United Soccer League and played on the 1999 PDL Northeast Division championship squad that placed third in the nation. In 2001 Riddiough played with the Long Island Rough Riders of the A-League.

H o f s tr a U n i v e r s it y

In addition to his playing experience, Riddiough has been a head coach for the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association Girls Under-17 team, which serves as part of the New York Olympic Development Program (ODP), since 2000. In 2005 he helped coach the team to the ODP National Championship. He also previously coached several Long Island Select teams from 1996 to 1999 and served as a director for Noga Soccer Camps since 1991. In June 1992 he coached the New Hyde Park Girls Under-19 club to the New York State championship. Riddiough, a native of Barnsley, England, and his wife, Heather, a former two-sport athlete at Hofstra, reside in Massapequa Park, New York with their two sons, Kain and Cole.

Assistant Coach

ormer William & Mary standout midfielder Lindsey Vanderspiegel is entering her third season as an assistant coach on the Hofstra Women’s Soccer staff in 2009. She helped the Pride to its most successful season in school history in her first year in 2007, as Hofstra finished 18-4, won the CAA title, and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Hofstra’s record in her two seasons is now 29-12-3.

Vanderspiegel was a four-time first-team All-Colonial Athletic Association selection from 2000-03 as a midfielder at William & Mary. She began her career by earning CAA Rookie of the Year and National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Freshman All-America honors in 2000. In 2001 she was named the Most Outstanding Player of the CAA Tournament, then earned the 2002 CAA Player of the Year Award, making her the first women’s soccer player in CAA history to win the league’s Rookie of the Year, Tournament Most Outstanding Player and Player of the Year Awards. In her final season, she captained the Tribe to the 2003 CAA championship at Hofstra and earned her fourth all-region honor from the NSCAA. In August 2009, as part of the Silver Anniversary celebration for the CAA, Vanderspiegel was named to the league’s 25th Anniversary Women’s Soccer Team. In addition to her duties at Hofstra, Vanderspiegel also coaches the girls U-11 Long Island FC team, as post she has held for the past two years. She also coached with the Beach FC Soccer Club, leading the U-14 team to a Hampton Roads Girls Soccer Association championship in 2005. Vanderspiegel has also continued to play competitively as part of the Hampton Roads Piranhas and the Long Island Rough Riders of the W-League.

Assistant Coach

ichael Alber, a 2004 graduate of Hofstra, is in his first season as an assistant coach for the Hofstra Women’s Soccer team.

Alber, who is an assistant district attorney in the Nassau County District Court Trial Bureau, brings many years of experience with him to the Hofstra sideline. He spent six years as vice president of Intense Soccer Academy where he designed soccer training curriculums for the academy, while also managing and directing the nationally recognized girls youth premier team program. During this time, he also developed and implemented a youth development program for children enrolled in the Commack Soccer League program. A 2007 graduate of Hofstra Law School, Alber currently holds a National and Advanced National Soccer coaching diploma.

Ed schieferstein

Assistant Coach

d Schieferstein enters his third season as an assistant coach with the Hofstra Women’s Soccer program, where his primary responsibility will be coaching the Pride goalkeepers. Schieferstein had spent five seasons coaching the goalkeepers on the Hofstra Men’s Soccer team, helping them to three CAA championships and NCAA Tournament appearances, before moving over to the women’s team. He has been involved with Long Island soccer for more than 30 years, since his playing days at Harborfields High School (1973-76). Before coming to Hofstra, Schieferstein served as an assistant coach at Kellenberg Memorial High School from 1991 through 1999 and then spent one year as an assistant women’s soccer coach at Caldwell College in New Jersey. Schieferstein has also been active in Long Island club soccer, serving as coach for the Syosset Soccer Club since 1995 and coaching the Huntington Soccer Club from 1974 to 1993. A native of Huntington, New York, Schieferstein played soccer for three seasons at Slippery Rock University in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, from 1976 to 1978.

A 2004 graduate of William & Mary, Vanderspiegel holds a degree in sociology.

2009 Preview

he Hofstra Women’s Soccer team came within inches of winning its third CAA title in the last four years in 2008, hitting the crossbar in the closing minutes of regulation of the championship game before falling to Northeastern 1-0 in the second overtime. In order to keep the run of success going, which has seen the Pride earn conference titles in both 2005 and 2007, Hofstra will need to replace a nine-member senior class from a year ago. The defense was particularly hard hit, with the graduation of starting goalkeeper Krystal Robens and three of the four starting defenders. The Pride does have a strong nucleus returning, including 2008 CAA Co-Defensive Player of the Year Jess Crankshaw, as well as a talented three-member midfield of junior Tiffany Yovino and sophomores Courtney Breen and Brittany Butts. Senior Edel Malone, a three-time All-CAA selection, is returning for her final season and will likely fill the center forward role that she played last fall. Here is a position-by-position look at the Hofstra Women’s Soccer team, heading into the 2009 season:

Goalie Krystal Robens set a school record with 12 shutouts in 2007, and was the regular starter in goal for the last two seasons. In 2006, though, Robens split time in net with then-freshman Krysten Farriella, who missed the 2007 season with a knee injury. Farriella is 100 percent healthy this year, giving the Pride an experienced veteran to fill in the void left by Robens’ graduation. Farriella appeared in five games last season, including one start when she picked up seven saves in a 2-1 loss to East Carolina. She also combined with Robens for 1-0 shutouts in wins over Princeton and Towson. Incoming freshman Kylie Shuster from Cedar Park High School in Texas Jess Crankshaw will also look to challenge for playing time in her rookie season.

Defense Hofstra graduated starting center backs Kariena Richards and Marie Curtin, as well as

w o M e n ’ s s o cc e r | 2 0 0 9

outside back Sara Gulley. Senior Jess Crankshaw, who shared the CAA Defensive Player of the Year Award last year, is back for her fifth season (she injured her knee in 2006 after four games and qualified for a medical red-shirt) and will be the lone returning starter on the Pride’s back four. In addition to being a strong defender, Crankshaw is a dangerous weapon on offense with her ability to serve crosses into the box from anywhere up the right sideline. She has 16 career assists, which ranks seventh in school history. The other spots will need to be filled in by either new faces or veterans changing positions. Seniors Diane Caldwell of Ireland and Erika Fuertes of Long Island (Upper Brookville) have seen most of their playing time in their Hofstra careers at the offensive end of the field, but could slide back onto the defensive unit this year. Caldwell is a strong, physical presence at 5-9 who can handle center back duties, while Fuertes’ speed makes her a strong candidate to fill an outside back position, where she saw some minutes last season. Junior Dana Bergstrom, who possesses a strong left foot, also played forward last year after transferring from Syracuse, but could see time this season at left back. Sophomore Katja Riihiaho of Finland and red-shirt freshman Brooke Bendernagel of Long Island (Smithtown) will be in the competition for playing time on the defensive unit (with Bendernagel competing at center back and Riihiaho on the outside). Incoming freshmen Britt Farriella, the younger sister of goalkeeper Krysten Farriella, and Amy Turner will also put up strong challenges for starting spots on the Pride’s back four this fall.

Midfield Unlike the back four, Hofstra has the luxury of returning its starting midfield unit completely in tact. Junior Hermann Trophy candidate Tiffany Yovino is a twotime All-CAA selection, while sophomores Courtney Breen and Brittany Butts were both named to the CAA All-Rookie team last year (Breen also earned second team All-CAA honors). Yovino tied for teamhigh honors last year with 14 points and has shown her versatility in her young career, Tiffany Yovino playing defensive midfield as a freshman (earning freshman AllAmerica honors) and then taking on more of an attacking role last year. She is Hofstra’s most dangerous attacking player with the ball at her feet, as her quickness and ability to change direction in the open field make her a difficult player to mark.

2009 Preview

Courntey Breen

Brittany Butts

Breen, meanwhile, stepped into the defensive midfield spot early in the 2008 season and thrived in that role. At 5-8, she displayed the ability to cover physical offensive players and win balls in the air, while her composure with the ball at her feet allowed her to play with a level of steadiness that belied her freshman status. Butts had a solid freshman season as well, displaying the ability to break down defenders and create scoring chances. Her talent, speed and skill level will almost certainly allow her to increase her offensive productivity this fall now that she has a full season under her belt.

Sophomore Nicki Choffel saw action in several games last season and could also provide a valuable weapon in the Pride’s midfield rotation. Caldwell also started in the midfield in Hofstra’s 18-4 season from two years ago and could play there this season if needed.

Forward Hofstra rotated several players at three forward positions last year and will likely have a similar system this fall. Senior Edel Malone played in the midfield her first two years, but moved up to forward last season and had success as a distributor, leading the Pride with six assists. Malone is a crafty player with strong finishing skills and excellent vision and could be the type of player who could carry the Hofstra offense in 2009. She could also move back to a central midfield role, where she thrived in her first two seasons (16 goals).

Junior Salma Tarik transferred from Cal State Northridge last year and proved to be a crafty finisher in the box, finishing the season with a team-high six goals. She scored in three straight games at one point, in conference wins over UNC Wilmington, Georgia State and VCU.

Edel Malone

Junior Kayla Pifer has also been a consistent contributor at forward in her first two seasons, including an assist in the Pride’s 1-0 win over Ohio State in the 2007 NCAA Tournament, while senior Jill Lipari will be looking to bounce back from an injury-plagued junior season and return to the form that had her a regular in the starting line-up as a freshman. Sophomore Laura Greene, meanwhile provided a tremendous spark off the bench last year with her speed in the open field, including the game-winning goal with a minute to play in a 2-1 win over VCU, and could see her role expand. Red-shirt freshman Erin Breen (Courtney’s twin Salma Tarik sister) will get a long look this fall as a potential target forward, while Bergstrom, Fuertes and Caldwell could also remain in the forward rotation if the Pride can find newcomers capable of filling in the holes in the back four. Incoming freshmen Danielle Murino (22 goals at Connetquot High School on Long Island last season) and Krysti Rodriguez (all-time leading goal scorer at Stone Bridge High School in Virginia) were both dominant scorers at the scholastic level and will likely push the returning players for playing time.

Director of Athletics Jack Hayes

ack Hayes is in his sixth year as director of athletics at Hofstra University in 2009-10. Hayes was appointed by Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz as the University’s director of athletics on October 4, 2004. Hayes came to Hofstra after serving as an associate director of athletics at the University of Connecticut for three years. Hayes, the eighth director of athletics at Hofstra, leads a department that includes 18 Division I teams, 100 coaches and administrative staff members and 400 student-athletes. Hayes’ proven expertise in enhancing academic and athletic success of student-athletes, strategic planning, fund-raising, marketing, university relations, facility enhancement, budgetary management, and NCAA compliance complements Hofstra University’s athletic department in its quest to further enhance its athletic program, and assist Hofstra’s student-athletes both on and off the field. The Hofstra Athletic program has flourished under Hayes’ leadership, winning 18 CAA Championships and making 24 postseason appearances since the 2004-05 academic year. In 2008-09 the Pride wrestling team won the CAA Championship for an eighth consecutive year, while the men’s lacrosse program advanced to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large selection. In addition, Hofstra hosted the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Quarterfinals in 2009, which saw nearly 12,000 people fill James M. Shuart Stadium for the event. Hayes has placed a significant emphasis on fund-raising during his tenure. Pride Club membership reached all-time highs, both in terms of the number of contributors and funds raised as the organization topped the $1 million mark in each of the last two years. Resources generated through fund-raising efforts have been used to enhance programs and facilities available to student-athletes. Recent initiatives include the construction of

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

Hofstra Heritage The Symbols of Hofstra University The Shield Logo

In 2005 Hofstra introduced a new logo as part of a University-wide re-imaging. Both the University’s logo as well as the Pride logo were designed by advertising agency Powell New York, a full-service branding and marketing agency, noted as one of the ten firms to watch in 2005 in Advertising Age. The new University logo features an “H” within a shield design. Hofstra University has always been known for both a tradition of academic excellence and a willingness to evolve to meet the needs of students and the greater society. This shield represents the University’s commitment to our heritage and a tradition of academic excellence, while the dynamic representation of the H within the shield embodies the evolutionary, changing nature of the University. Hofstra University has both honored its traditions and heritage while embracing changing disciplines, using new technology and remaining relevant to scholarly pursuits and the demands of industry.

The Seal

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

affixed to formal documents, and used for official purposes such as commencement, convocations, and official University functions.

The Pride

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

H o f s tr a U n i v e r s it y

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 240acre campus, and has been renamed Hofstra Hall.

About Long Island

Long Island has a rich history as an active, vibrant community, a summer playground, and home to some of New York’s most prominent families. Five distinct regions make up Long Island: • North Shore, otherwise known as the Gold Coast, with dozens of historic sites dating back to colonial days and Gatsby-era mansions. • South Shore, the Island’s spectator sports and entertainment center, with world-famous Jones and Fire Island Beaches, and home to the New York Islanders. • Central Suffolk, with beautiful forests and natural inlets, the world’s largest factory outlet center and a huge water park. • North Fork, with an array of vineyards, waterfront ports and farm stands. • South Fork, widely known as “The Hamptons,” with its pristine beaches and exclusive villages.

You can catch a Hofstra shuttle bus to Jones Beach – a state park with six miles of gorgeous coastline, a boardwalk, swimming pools, golf and outdoor concerts. With everything from museums, historical sites and lighthouses, to sophisticated malls, designer outlets and shopping villages, to wineries and farm stands, to family fun parks, aquariums and zoos, there is plenty to do on Long Island.

About New York City

Athletic Academic Support

ofstra University is committed to the pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. The University views participation in intercollegiate athletics as benefiting the studentathlete in an educationally enhancing experience beyond any other opportunity available. Hofstra also realizes the time commitment made by studentathletes 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, studentathletes are assigned an academic advisor who helps address the various needs of student‑athletes. The academic advisor emphasizes four areas in their efforts to ensure the academic success of 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. Area three is academic monitoring. The UTP counselor monitors the academic progress of student‑athletes to ensure compliance with Hofstra University, NCAA and conference regulations. The 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.

Sports Medicine | Athletic Training

hrough a comprehensive athletic training program, Hofstra University student-athletes are provided excellent health care during their attendance at the University. A coordinated effort between the University Health and Wellness Center, the Athletic Department and outside health care providers ensures every student-athlete the best medical attention possible. University student-athletes have direct access to a myriad of health care services. Managing the coverage of every practice and competition event is Hofstra University’s athletic training staff, which is led by seventh-year Head Athletic Trainer Evan Malings and features eight full-time athletic trainers and numerous student athletic trainers. The athletic trainers provide injury management, rehabilitation and treatment to the entire Athletic program. Utilizing three state-of-the-art athletic training rooms, these professionals work tirelessly to ensure the safe participation of Hofstra’s student-athletes and to return injured athletes to play quickly and safely. Supporting the athletic trainers is team physician Dr. Damion Martins. Dr. Martins, a physician with Pro Health Care, Inc. in Lake Success, New York, is in his seventh year on Hofstra’s medical team. Martins experience in the sports medicine field includes serving as team physician for the University of Maryland, University of Maryland-Baltimore County and Coppin State University athletic departments. He was also on the medical staff of the National Football League’s Baltimore Ravens. Hofstra University sponsors a fully accredited, highly competitive undergraduate degree program for athletic training majors, in which Hofstra student athletic trainers participate in all aspects of the health care system.

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY SOCCER STADIUM

he Hofstra Men’s and Women’s Soccer Teams play at the Hofstra University Soccer Stadium, located on the University’s north campus, adjacent to the Hofstra Physical Fitness Center. The Stadium, constructed in 2003 through a partnership with the New York Jets, features a 120-yard by 74-yard FieldTurf surface, stadium lighting, metal bleachers the length of the field, the Gorman Memorial Gateway and the Hofstra Soccer Walls of Honor. In 2009 a new press box was installed. In addition, signs commemorating Hofstra’s conference championships, NCAA Tournament appearances and retired jerseys are displayed on the west end of the stadium. Since its’ opening, the Pride is 39-9-4 at the Stadium. 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. In June 2001 the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the worldwide governing body for the sport of soccer, gave its official recommendation to the artificial grass FieldTurf installation at Boston University’s Nickerson Field for international competition and domestic league play. The historic ruling, the first and only certification of an artificial surface in the world at this time, means that venues with FieldTurf can be used for all preliminary competition matches for the FIFA World Cup and Olympic Football Tournaments as well as for professional league play. There have been more than 500 FieldTurf installations worldwide in recent years.

The facility is lit with a system from the Iowa-based Musco Lighting Company. Musco is recognized as a world-class leader in sports lighting with lighting systems installed around the globe. A leader in developing sports-lighting technology – including solutions for permanent and temporary lighting, and sports facility management – Musco offers innovative systems, a comprehensive package of services, and decades of experience. Working with organizations such as Amateur Softball Association, Babe Ruth League, Disney, England and Wales Cricket Board, Little League Baseball®, Major League Baseball, NASCAR, and the NBA, Musco has played a key role in developing guidelines for safe, efficient sports facilities. Musco is a Major Partner with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA); provides the Official Sports-Lighting System for Little League Baseball and was selected to light Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex — a state-of-the-art 200-acre complex with facilities for more than 30 sports. The facility is outfitted with a seating system from the Southern Bleacher Company of Graham, Texas. Since 1946, Southern Bleacher has set the standard of excellence in the design and manufacturing of sports stadiums and entertainment venues. Southern Bleacher products grace professional baseball diamonds and soccer fields, college campuses, school districts, NASCAR tracks and rodeo arenas across the United States. The Hofstra Soccer Stadium served as the home site of first round NCAA Tournament games in 2005 and 2006, as well as hosting numerous high school playoff contests. The stadium also served as the practice field for the Jets during their public preseason camp workouts until the team moved its headquarters from Hofstra in 2008.

THE GORMAN MEMORIAL GATEWAY The Gorman Memorial Gateway, named in honor of former Hofstra Soccer player Frank Gorman, who died tragically on January 5, 2003, was officially dedicated on Sunday, September 17, 2006. The Gorman Memorial Gateway project included a gated entrance to the Hofstra Soccer Stadium and ticket windows, as well as a Hofstra Men’s and Women’s Soccer Walls of Fame, the Sergio Villanueva

Memorial Garden and a picnic area behind the east side goal. Future plans include alumni bleachers located behind the east goal. Donors to the Gorman Memorial Gateway Fund have their names inscribed on a plaque at the Gateway entrance to the Hofstra University Soccer Stadium.

The Colonial Athletic Association

he Colonial Athletic Association celebrates its 25th Anniversary in 2009-10 with memories of a proud and storied past and visions of an exciting future.

Regarded as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences, the CAA encompasses five of the nation’s nine largest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Atlanta. The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 12 national players of the year, 12 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 20 NCAA postgraduate scholars. In 2008-09, the CAA had more than 1,700 of the league’s 4,000 student-athletes receive the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport. The conference ranked in the top 10 in the nation in 12 of its 23 sports in the latest APR report released by the NCAA. The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes six of the nation’s top 25 media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (7), Atlanta (8), Washington, D.C. (9) and Baltimore (25). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 20 million. The CAA currently sponsors 23 sports with the addition of a 12-team football league in 2007 and women’s rowing in 2009. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. In 2008-09, 28 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 45 studentathletes received All-America honors. The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with a league-record five teams advancing to postseason play in 2008-09. Conference champion VCU made its third NCAA Tournament appearance in the last six years, while George Mason reached the postseason for the seventh time in a decade in the NIT. Old Dominion, making its fifth straight postseason trip, captured the inaugural CIT championship, while James Madison made the CIT semifinals. Northeastern reached the quarterfinals of the CBI. In 2006, George Mason captured the nation’s imagination by becoming the first mid-major program since 1979 to reach the Final Four, knocking off powerhouses Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut along the way. The Patriots were ranked No. 8 in the final ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll, which was the highest ever for a CAA team. The CAA has had at least three women’s basketball teams participate in post-season play for the past four seasons. Drexel captured its first CAA championship in 2009 and was joined in the NCAA Tournament by VCU, giving the league multiple teams in the Big Dance for the second time in three years. James Madison earned a post-season berth for the fourth year in a row in the WNIT. Perennial power Old Dominion, which has won three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and was national runner-up in 1997, claimed an NCAA-record 17 straight CAA titles before seeing its incredible streak come to an end last year.

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