2010 Hofstra Men’s Lacrosse — 1
MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Hofstra University and the 2010 NCAA Division I Lacrosse season. We look forward to another exciting season under Head Lacrosse Coach Seth Tierney. Hofstra remains committed to achieving success at the highest levels, both in the classroom and on the field.
Hofstra is coming off an outstanding 2009 season, which saw the Pride win the regular season Colonial Athletic Association title and receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. The team played in the inaugural Big City Classic, defeating Delaware during the tripleheader at Giants Stadium. On an individual note, Jay Card built on his stellar freshman campaign by earning CAA Player of the Year accolades in his second season. More recently, Hofstra University was thrilled by the January announcement that seven Hofstra players were named to the CAA Silver Anniversary Team. The list includes six former players – Athan Iannucci, Tom Kessler, Brett Moyer, Nicky Polanco, Chris Unterstein and Kevin Unterstein – as well as current junior Jay Card. Over the past decade, Hofstra University and the Athletics Department have committed its resources to provide a first-class experience for our studentathletes and the entire University community. The primary mission at Hofstra University is to educate our students and prepare them for their careers after college. In recent years the Athletics program has added an enhanced academic advisement program that includes new computer labs and study halls, and an upgraded tutorial program. In addition, we have initiated “Career Nights” where successful alumni, including many former student-athletes, return to campus to speak, both in group and one-on-one formats, about how to embark on a professional career. On the athletic side, our constant upgrade of athletic facilities, locker rooms, training areas and offices provide our student-athletes and our staff with the very best environment in which to prepare and perform. The men’s lacrosse program, which salutes past student-athletes with the Pride Victory Walk at the entrance of Shuart Stadium, recently completed a multi-phase project that will keep their Shuart Stadium/Margiotta Hall facility among the
2 — 2010 Hofstra Men’s Lacrosse
best in the country. In 2007 FieldTurf was installed in Shuart Stadium allowing the Pride to compete and practice on the best and safest playing surface. New scoreboards in the north and south end zones further enhance the game day experience. Recently, the Pride locker room and lacrosse offices were completely renovated to provide a first-class dressing room as well as welcome, meeting and working areas for both of our lacrosse programs. The athletic training area of Margiotta Hall was also refurbished to create a state-of-the-art facility for Hofstra’s sports medicine staff to treat student-athletes. In 2010 we will pay tribute to the history of the lacrosse program in the form of the Traditions Project that is slated for completion in March. As Hofstra enters its 62nd season of lacrosse, we look back fondly on all of our previous achievements; 17 conference championships; 15 trips to the NCAA Tournament, including four quarterfinal appearances; 43 times ranked in the Top 20 nationally in the final poll; and the many All-Americans, scholar-athletes, all-conference selections, and North-South All-Star Game participants. The anticipation of a new season excites us all. I would like to thank all our alumni, parents and friends for their support of Hofstra Lacrosse. Our mission and goals remain the same - to provide our student-athletes with the resources to be successful on and off the field. My best wishes to Coach Tierney, his staff and the 2010 Pride team for a successful season.
Enjoy the season,
Jack Hayes Director of Athletics

Hosted the final Presidential Debate of the 2008 campaign on October 15. The debate, which was televised world-wide from the Mack Sports Complex, was moderated by CBS News Correspondent Bob Schieffer.
Located close to the global business capital of New York City, the Frank G. Zarb School for Business will help you find your edge in business. The school is ranked among the top 75 M.B.A programs by Forbes magazine and features the Martin B. Greenburg Trading Room in C.V. Starr Hall. CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper visited Hofstra as part of the “Define ’09: New Challenges, New Solutions,” a year-long series of programs designed to examine the new presidential administration, its policies and initiatives, the challenges we currently face and ways of addressing our country’s most pressing issues. Cooper discussed “A 360-Degree Look at World Events” during his appearance at the John Cranford Adams Playhouse and also spoke privately to a group of students in a forum at Hofstra Hall. In 2007 Hofstra University President Stuart Rabinowitz and the North Shore-LIJ Health System President and Chief Executive Officer Michael J. Dowling joined today to announce a unique and historic agreement to plan the establishment of a new medical school on Hofstra’s campus. Hofstra University School of Medicine, which hopes to admit its first class in 2011, is currently pursuing preliminary accreditation with the Liaison Committee on Medical Education and requisite New York State approval.

GAME Day
HOFSTRA IN THE COMMUNITY The Hofstra Men’s Lacrosse team lends a great deal of time to the Long Island community. The team frequently conducts lacrosse clinics for special needs children, as well as participating in events to aid the homeless, including the Have a Heart for the Homeless Candlelight Vigil sponsored by the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless (LICH). The Pride helped set-up, sort and pack clothes and goods for both individuals and homeless shelters. Each holiday season, the Pride participates in Holiday Magic, a program that Coach Tierney initiated while he was at Johns Hopkins and brought with him to Hofstra. The team helps collect, wrap and distribute toys to underprivileged children, providing a bit of joy to those in need. Hofstra is also actively involved in the fight against blood cancer through the HEADstrong Foundation, which was founded by Nick Colleluori before his passing as a result of Non-
Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The team has raised awareness and a great deal of funds through the sales of “Relentless” t-shirts and lime green shoelaces. Each year the team participates in the Nick Colleluori Classic at Ridley High School in Pennsylvania, which serves as the organization’s biggest fundraiser. The team is also involved with a variety of initiatives with Hofstra’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), including reading programs at local schools, a gift card donation program during the holidays, the Special Olympics and Long Island Cares Holiday food drives.

NICK COLLELUORI HEADSTRONG FOUNDATION Nick Colleluori, who would have been part of the class of 2008, fought a “relentless” battle against Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and while Nick lost his battle on November 28, 2006, his vision has just begun.
HEADstrong Foundation Nick Colleluori Memorial Classic
The HEADstrong Foundation is dedicated to Nick’s life. During his 14-month battle, which included chemotherapy, a stem-cell transplant and extensive radiation treatment, it was Nick’s vision to establish this foundation to raise awareness and help others affected by this disease. He drew the logo as he was waiting to go into the operating room for a procedure. Because lacrosse was his passion and he can no longer carry the ball, his family and friends will carry the ball for him.
The Pride compete in the annual HEADstrong Foundation Nick Colleluori Memorial Classic at Ridley High School in Folsom, Pennsylvania. The underlying thread of the tournament is lacrosse, but the real theme was helping those in need. In 2007 approximately $75,000 was raised for the HEADstrong Foundation through sponsorships, auctions, raffles and the sale of HEADstrong Foundation t-shirts. The 2008 event, which was held October 11, surpassed that total with nearly $150,000 raised at the nineteam tournament. In 2009 20-teams participated in the event and, coupled with a 12-team women’s tournament on the Hofstra campus, raised more than $200,000 for the foundation. Each participating team wears lime green Headstrong shoelaces, with Hofstra sporting lime green jerseys and shorts. For more information on Nick Colleluori and the HEADstrong Foundation, please visit www.

NICK COLLELUORI TRIBUTE Rather than retire the jersey of Nick Colleluori, the men’s lacrosse program decided to honor Nick by assigning the number to a deserving senior each year. Hofstra is determined to keep Nick’s memory and his mission alive by educating new players on his life and the inspiration he provided to the team.
The first player to wear the #27 jersey is senior Adam Swarsen, who is the only member of the Hofstra roster to have played with Nick Colleluori.
“As a fifth-year senior, wearing #27 is a tremendous privilege. It is an absolute honor to be a part of continuing Nick Colleluori’s legacy by playing with relentless effort, attitude and heart. My teammates and I will strive everyday to emulate Nick on and off the field.” Adam Swarsen

ALUMNI REFLECTIONS
W
hen I was first introduced to the game of lacrosse in 3rd grade, it was my dream to play Division I lacrosse with my brother, Nick. This dream came true during my junior year of high school when I committed to the Pride. Although this dream only lasted a few weeks, I will cherish those weeks for the rest of my life. While attending Hofstra my life was forever altered as my roommate, teammate, best friend and brother was diagnosed with and succumbed to lymphoma. While my life seemed like a roller coaster ride with no end in site, my team and the Hofstra Athletics family embraced me and my family during our desperate time of need, and served for me personally as my rock. Without this support system, I’m not sure where I would be today. This game and the coaches have really saved my life and have given me purpose. The Hofstra Lacrosse program has grown so much over the four years that I attended. It was a privilege to play in such a magnificent facility and for the best coaches in Division I. The highlights of my career include: Freshman year playing with a large senior class who taught me leadership skills on and off the field. Sophomore year adjusting to a new coach, learning a new style of the game and adjusting to life without my brother. Junior year beating Drexel on their home turf for the CAA Championship and carrying Nick’s jersey with me to each game. Senior year accomplishing my personal goal by being named to the AllAmerica team. Since graduating in May, I am working as a research assistant in the Hematology/Oncology Department at The University of Pennsylvania Hospital where I plan to attend medical school with the hope of someday becoming a doctor. I’m also the vice president of the HEADstrong Foundation, which is a non-profit organization that raises awareness and funds for blood cancer research in the name of Nicholas Colleluori. My years at Hofstra went by in the blink of an eye. What I have taken with me, is more then just the game of lacrosse. It’s about finding your identity and learning life lessons to be successful. Do it right the first time with pride as it is truly an honor to be a Hofstra athlete. I had an incredible experience here that will remain with me for the rest of my life. I want to thank all of the parents, the fans, Cathy Aull and Robert Sullivan for all of the support. To my teammates and coaches I love you guys and will always hold the rope. I wish this year’s team the best of luck. Go Pride!
Michael Colleluori
T
he emptiness of leaving the practice field for the last time reassures that the commitment to Hofstra University Lacrosse was well spent. My love affair with lacrosse began when I was 9 years old, the day my oldest brother, Billy (Hofstra ’74), brought home a lacrosse stick. The youngest of three boys, I used to sit with my parents and watch my brother and his Hofstra teammates play lacrosse. Dougie Nastro’s rhythmic cradling as he moved behind the cage and Joe Zaffuto’s acrobatic saves were thrilling and inspirational to me. I was in awe of their power as athletes and the grace and speed they brought to the game of lacrosse. Those young men, who were Hofstra Lacrosse players, were like gods to me. They seemed larger than life and I wanted to be like them. Throughout my teenage years I continued my admiration for Hofstra Lacrosse like a groupie follows a rock and roll band. My brother, Michael ’79, followed Billy to Hofstra. He and his teammates - Ramon Mills, Kevin Huff, Tony Petillo, Joe Taylor, Ed Wallace, Joe Corcoran and Tom Lonergan became my role models. They coached and mentored me, and passed me the Flying Dutchman code and legacy as a father passes on a family tradition from one generation to the next. The brotherhood of Hofstra Lacrosse players creates a lifetime bond – this fraternity of men has influenced my life in ways that still endure on and off the field. The moment I stood at attention for the National Anthem was the moment of reflection: my days as a Levittown Red Devil and at Chaminade High School receded into the past. Here I was standing with my teammates, in front of former Hofstra Lacrosse players and my parents, in my Hofstra uniform. The moment had come and the feelings that accompanied it were exhilarating. Win or lose, I would hold true to the Flying Dutchman code and have fun at the same time. The bond I developed with my defense unit – Bill Els, Rich Petillo, Ed Geiger – was like as webster’s dictionary defines “family”- two or more people who share goals and values, have a long-term commitment to one another. This is the silent bond we had. In addition, I had the opportunity to mentor the best freshman trio ever to wear blue and gold (Dave McCulloch, Bruce Yancey, and Brian Robinson) which was a valuable and humorous experience. Coach Royle’s philosophy exemplified everything the university stood for and his coaching style reflected his beliefs which reinforced and further cemented the values my parents taught me. My experience playing lacrosse for Hofstra gave me the foundation to lead a happy, productive, and successful life. Hofstra Lacrosse made a lasting impression on me and has remained an integral part of my life. It has taught me many life lessons. I learned self-discipline, cooperation, patience and tenacity. I’ve become part of a larger fellowship of lacrosse players which include my three sons among the others I have encountered in the years since I played.

s an 18 year old freshman, I thought I understood what the Hofstra Lacrosse experience was all about. Division I, bright lights and winning – everyone knows that the game is all about “the winning”nothing more, nothing less. Myself and good number of my teammates on those early 80’s teams bought into that message and during those years that approach seemed to be the best pathway to fewer practices that included endless conditioning on the track. However, given the chance to reflect on the happenings of those four years I will confess that my focus during that time is proof to me now that I did not know a thing! Maybe some of my associates at Capital One would argue that very little has changed in 25 years, but my view is that winning had very little to do with shaping the shared experiences that made those times so memorable and enjoyable for me. I submit that as my life has unfolded, the influence of those winning days had much more to do with the presence of teammates and friendships that were forged in that time and space than the final scores of the games we played. Do not misinterpret what I intend to say, nobody appreciated winning more then me, but given the chance to look back, my focus would have been to enjoy the game, the journey and the people rather then our place in the national rankings. My Hofstra lacrosse teams were comprised of all types of characters, but they were defined by the presence of classic, bluecollar, “turnpike” guys – Bob Quinlan, Joe Fowler, Gary Arnold and Dave McCulloch were all teammates and leaders of this ilk – guys who earned your respect by the way they played and not so much by what they had to say. Then there were the guys that I admired and appreciated so much that you try to copy certain pieces of their play or their behavior. These teammates possessed the types of qualities and character that you would like to see in your own kids - guys like Considine and Geiger were these types of players. Moreover, we were most often a team of just names, not the ones given to you by your parents at birth, but a teammate imposed brand that was worn as a “badge of acceptance”- names like Moose, OD, Legs, Nat and Rockhead were guys whose presence shaped the camaraderie within my locker rooms. All of my teammates during my years contributed positively to the make-up and memories we created together during that time and I consider it a privilege to have had the chance to run with them all. Although my playing days have long expired, I get the chance to revisit the energy of those times by attending a few games a year watching the current edition of the team. The men at the wheel of the program have created a culture that honors the long tradition the program enjoys and the players that have helped to create it. Going back to connect with lax alumni whose times did not cross my own – people like Jim Metzger, Vinnie Sombrotto and James Watson bring life to the time when the playing days belonged to us.
of your lives, some of your greatest memories and most rewarding experiences. Lastly, for the chance to reflect back as an alumnus on teammates and people that not only produced great things in college sports but over the course of an entire lifetime as well. Oh yeah, winning sure helps! Go Pride!

s I reflect upon my past at Hofstra, many happy memories come to mind. The first of many such memories dates back to the fourth grade when I attended the Hofstra Lacrosse Camp. This was my first experience playing organized lacrosse, and perhaps, the first time I fell in love with the sport. It was from then on that lacrosse became a permanent foundation in my extracurricular activities, and it all started at Hofstra. It continued throughout my high school career at Hicksville. Our Nassau Conty Playoff games were all played at Hofstra Stadium. My first victory at Hofstra occurred in 1997 when Hicksville defeated Farmingdale in the playoffs. It was the first of many victories to come on the Hofstra turf. It seems as though I was destined to play lacrosse at the college most familiar to me. In my four years at Hofstra I can honestly say I walked away with a great deal more than I came in with. The lessons I learned on and off the field groomed me to be a mature, confident, successful man. I owe many of those attributes to my experiences with coaches and teammates. As I’ve embarked on new ventures in life, I do so alongside many of my old teammates turned best friends. On particular memory that always comes to mind is when we played Syracuse in the second round of the NCAA Championship. Hofstra Stadium was packed and it seemed as though all of Long Island had come to support our team. The feeling was tremendous as we realized we were part of something special. Even though we lost, we still walked off the field with the sense that we had given it our best. I feel extremely fortunate to have been a part of Hofstra Lacrosse. I still feel that way today as an alumnus coming back to watch the current players form bonds and friendships that will last a lifetime. A great deal of the lessons I learned are applicable in my everyday life and it is with these lessons that I take on any new endeavor with the confidence and ability to succeed.
Tom Kessler
To the current version of HU lax players, my hope is for you to understand what I did not. That is for your teams to fully appreciate a period that might be home to some of the best times

HEAD MEN’S LACROSSE COACH
SETH TIERNEY Seth Tierney became the fifth head coach in the 60-year history of the Hofstra Men’s Lacrosse program when he was hired to the position in August 2006. Now in his fourth season, Tierney has led the Pride to 27 victories, the 2008 Colonial Athletic Association championship and berths in the 2008 and 2009 NCAA Championships. Since assuming the head coaching job, Tierney has produced six All-Americans, 21 All-CAA selections and four North-South All-Stars. Tierney served as an assistant coach at Hofstra from 1995 through 2000 before leaving for a similar position at his alma mater Johns Hopkins University. During his six-year tenure with the Pride, Hofstra recorded six consecutive winning seasons with a combined overall record of 61-28 and a conference mark of 29-2, captured five league titles, received five top 15 final national rankings, and played in four NCAA
Championship tournaments. Tierney also coached seven All-Americans and nearly twodozen all-conference players during his first tenure at Hofstra. Among them was midfielder Doug Shanahan, who would receive the inaugural Tewaaraton Trophy as College Lacrosse Player of the Year, the Lt. Ray Enners Award as the Division I Player of the Year, and the Lt. Donald McLaughlin Award as the Division I Midfielder of the Year in 2001. “During our search, we had the privilege of meeting many outstanding candidates including several former Pride assistants,” Hofstra Director of Athletics Jack Hayes said. “Although all of them had exceptional and unique plans for Hofstra Lacrosse, Seth Tierney’s presentation displayed the enthusiasm, intensity and passion that we were looking for. We are committed to assisting him move the program into the elite level of college lacrosse.” Coach Tierney led the Pride to an 11-4 mark in 2009 and a second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. Michael Colleluori, Anthony Muscarella, Christian Scuderi and Jay Card were each named honorable mention All-Americans. In addition, Card, a sophomore, was named the CAA Player of the Year, while six of his teammates joined him on the CAA’s allconference teams. Muscarella and Colleluori were also named to the North-South All-Star Game, while Muscarella was a fourth round selection in the 2009 MLL Collegiate Draft. The 2008 season saw Hofstra make a return to the NCAA Tournament after a one-year hiatus. The team posted a 10-6 record and won the CAA title in a thrilling overtime win over Drexel. Leading scorer Anthony Muscarella was named an honorable mention All-American, while Kevin Unterstein was the CAA Defensive Player of the Year and Jay Card earned CAA Rookie of the Year accolades. In addition, seven players received All-CAA honors and the Unterstein brothers, Kevin and Michael, were named North-South Game All-Stars and were both selected in the Major League Lacrosse Draft. In his first year at the helm of the Hofstra program, Tierney took over a team that returned one starter from 2006’s NCAA Quarterfinal squad and led them to a 6-8 record that saw seven losses decided by one goal.

The team qualified for the CAA Championship, saw one of its star players – Kevin Unterstein – earn honorable mention AllAmerica honors and had seven players named to All-CAA teams, including three All-Rookie selections. Tierney spent six years at John Hopkins, with the final two seasons as associate head coach. As the Blue Jays offensive coordinator, he was the architect of one of the most potent and

Tierney directed the Blue Jays attack that finished second in the nation in scoring margin, sixth in scoring offense and 16th in man-up offense during Hopkins’ NCAA title run in 2005.

helped lead Hopkins to the NCAA Tournament in each of his four seasons, including an appearance in the 1989 NCAA title game. He received Hopkins’ Turnbull-Reynolds Award as a senior as the player most exemplifying leadership and sportsmanship. Tierney was also selected to play in the
North-South game as a senior. After graduating from Johns Hopkins, Tierney continued his playing career by playing three seasons of indoor lacrosse for the New York Saints before serving as an assistant coach for the Saints for two seasons. Tierney and his wife, Maureen, have two children – a son, Ryan (11), and a daughter, Erin (9). The Tierney family resides in Massapequa, New York.
In Tierney’s final season at Hopkins the Blue Jays posted a 9-5 record, advanced to the NCAA Championship quarterfinals, and ranked in the top 15 in the country in four statistical categories. With an emphasis on a balanced attack that puts pressure on the opposition at every position, individual awards have been plentiful at Hopkins. A total of 21 Blue Jay midfielders and attackmen earned All-America honors during Tierney’s tenure in Homewood. Among them was Kyle Harrison, a two-time first team All-America, who received the Tewaaraton Trophy and the Lt. Enners Award in 2005 and the McLaughlin Award in 2004 and 2005. Tierney played for the Blue Jays from 1988 through 1991 and served as team captain as a senior. He

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH
Joe Amplo
Joe Amplo is in his second season as the associate head coach of the men’s lacrosse program and his 10th year overall on the Pride staff. Amplo, a four-year letterman at Hofstra from 1996 through 1999, was an assistant coach from 1999 to 2001 before returning to Long Island in the fall of 2002 after one year as an assistant coach at Pennsylvania.
Amplo, who was named associate head coach in August 2008, began his college coaching career in the fall of 1999 as a defensive specialist with the Hofstra midfielders. He served two seasons as an assistant coach under then-coach John Danowski, with the Pride advancing to the NCAA Championship both years. In 2001 Amplo left Hofstra for Penn, where the Quakers posted their best record in 13 years, recording the program’s first winning season and first nine-win campaign since 1989, going 9-4 overall and 3-3 in the Ivy League during the 2002 season.

2010 Hofstra Men’s Lacrosse — 19
2010 OUTLOOK If you asked, many coaches would be quite satisfied with the season the Hofstra Pride logged in 2009. After all, an 11-4 final record, a number 10 ranking in the final poll, a Colonial Athletic Association regular season title with a perfect 6-0 mark, and a second consecutive NCAA Championship bid are nothing to sneeze at. But like many coaches, Pride Head Lacrosse Coach Seth Tierney, who enters his fourth season at the helm of the Hofstra Lacrosse ship, was pleased with some of his team’s achievements but not totally satisfied. That hunger leads the Pride staff and team into the 2010 season with a renewed dedication and commitment to attain more this season. “I’m happy that we achieved some of our goals in having a successful regular season,” Tierney said. “But as you achieve one goal other goals change or become more important. We had a letdown in the CAA semifinals last year, losing to Villanova just four days after we defeated them. Although we wanted to go in as CAA champions, making the NCAA Championships for the second consecutive year - this time as an at-large team - was another goal that we achieved.“
Attack
While getting into the national tournament is half the battle, the Pride’s NCAA Tournament first round loss to Cornell, who would advance to the championship game, was both disappointing and encouraging. “In the NCAA Tournament at Cornell it was 5-5 at halftime,” Tierney explains. “We just couldn’t sustain it against a very good Big Red team. They went on to win the game and eventually almost won the national championship. It was kind of bittersweet knowing that we were right there with them and they went on and were only seconds from winning the national title.”
“The attack this year will be different,” Tierney says. “We are looking for bigger and better things from Jay Card, and Jamie Lincoln had some success out at Denver and has some good chemistry with him. Lincoln is a finisher. He knows how to score and puts himself in the position to score. If we can get Jamie the ball near the goal, he has a knack for making the net move.”
Despite the loss of Tom Dooley, who tallied 107 goals and 24 assists during his four-year Hofstra career, the Pride attack figures to be as potent as ever and is led by the return of junior Jay Card (Caledon, Ontario, Canada). A 2009 USILA All-America honorable mention and the CAA Player of the Year, Card led the conference and ranked 16th in the nation with 35 goals and added niane assists last year. The Canadian big-goal machine, who recorded seven gamewinning goals in 2009 to boost his career total to 10, was selected the CAA Preseason Player of the Year for 2010. Card won’t be the only sniper on the team this year with the addition of fellow Canadian and junior, Jamie Lincoln (St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada). A transfer from the University of Denver, Lincoln tallied 53 goals and six assists in two seasons with the Pioneers. He posted a 48-goal freshman ´year that landed him a LaxPower All-America honorable mention as well as being named the Great Western Lacrosse League Newcomer of the Year and to the All-GWLL first team.
While Tierney remembers the past but does not dwell on it, new goals, which include many from last season, are in place for 2010. Lacrosse conference realignments last summer saw Villanova, Sacred Heart and Robert Morris leave the CAA and Massachusetts and Penn State join the new six-team league. “Our first goal, like every season, is to win the CAA regular season title, which means getting into the conference tournament,” Tierney says. “With the addition of Massachusetts and Penn State in the CAA, it certainly doesn’t get any easier. The next set of goals are winning the CAA Championship and making it into the NCAA Championships for the third consecutive year. The goals adjust game-by-game from there.” A third consecutive appearance in the NCAA Championship would be a feat that hasn’t been accomplished at Hofstra since the early days of the Tournament when the Pride teams of 1973, ’74 and ’75 went back-to-back-to-back. But with 21 returning players and just as many talented newcomers, Tierney and staff are confident about the ability and potential of the 2010 team.
20 — 2010 Hofstra Men’s Lacrosse
JAY CARD
2010 OUTLOOK Sophomore Kevin Ford (Floral Park, NY) bounced back from an early season-ending injury in 2008 to post 19 goals and nine assists last season. Ford is equally adept at being the scorer or the playmaker and will give opponents another guy to keep an eye on. While great things are expected from Ford this year, the start of his 2010 season will be delayed due to a foot injury sustained during the offseason. Ford’s injury will open the door for junior Stephen Bentz (Massapequa, NY) or sophomore Mike DeNapoli (Lynbrook, NY) to fill in on attack and gain some experience there. Bentz played in 14 games as a sophomore and recorded six goals, including five man-up tallies. DeNapoli, who saw limited action last season, was a high school All-American who dented the twine 90 times in his final two scholastic seasons at Lynbrook High School. “When Kevin Ford returns to the lineup, he will bring a presence to the attack,” Tierney said. “But Steve Bentz and Michael DeNapoli are two guys who have been in the program for two years and understand how we run things.”
Midfield
While the midfield position is long on quantity, it is the area that was hardest hit by graduation and, thus, is short on experience. The loss of USILA honorable mention AllAmericans Michael Colleluori (14 goals, 22 assists) and Anthony Muscarella (19 goals and 9 assists), as well as Ryan Carter (10 goals, 8 assists), leaves a void. Colleluori, who was also a USILA ScholarAthlete in 2009, was the team STEVE DENAPOLI playmaker and was one of the vital links between defense and offense. “We will have some youngsters at midfield this season and they will have to grow up quickly,” Tierney said. “But we have players who have played in some well known programs under pressure situations so I am hoping they will come around quickly.” The inexperience at midfield has caused the Pride staff to move senior Dan Stein (Merrick, NY), who saw some time at midfield and tallied six goals and five assists in 2009, from attack to midfield. “We think by moving Dan, our only senior offensive player, to midfield, he will help stabilize a young group,” Tierney explained. Stein won’t be the only player with experience at midfield as sophomore Brad Loizeaux (Mullica Hill, NJ) returns
DAN STEIN
after playing 13 games and scoring five goals in 2009, and red-shirt freshman Michael Hamilton (Brighton, MI) also is back. “We are expecting some good things from Brad Loizeaux this year,” Tierney said. “He got off to a slow start last year following a shoulder injury in the first scrimmage and that affected his preseason and set him back a bit. But we think he can come back and play with a large amount of poise and confidence. Michael Hamilton has come back in very good shape and appears to be the front-runner for the final spot on the first midfield.” At least eight more underclassmen, led by sophomore Dan Pezzolla (Endicott, NY), a former
2010 Hofstra Men’s Lacrosse — 21
2010 OUTLOOK U.S. Lacrosse Scholastic All-American, will utilize the preseason to see what midfield line their team chemistry lands them on. Freshmen Adrian Sorichetti (Whitby, Ontario, Canada), a silver medal-winning Team Canada member at the Under 19 World Championships, former U.S. Lacrosse All-Americans Drew Coholan (Rochester, NY) and Patrick Leary (Troy, MI), and Austin Wright (Columbus, OH), a three-time All-Midwest selection will also be looking for playing time. Graduation also hit the long-stick middie spot where starting captain Steve Prifte (44 ground balls) has departed. But junior Adam Mojica (Springfield, PA), who has seen action in 17 games the past two seasons, returns and is the heir apparent at the pole. “We lost Steve Prifte, who had a presence there for the past several years and did a great job,” Tierney says. “Adam Mojica, who struggled with an injury last season, has come back in great shape. He’s very athletic, can cover people and has great feet. We’re looking for him to step it up.” Senior captain Adam Swarsen (Denver, CO), red-shirt freshman Mark Mullen (Harleysville, PA) and newcomers Corey Caputo (Darien, CT), a two-time All-Connecticut selection, and Jerry Nobile (Bay Shore, NY) will push Mojica. “We think they can all step it up as well,” Tierney commented. At the short-stick defensive middie position, unlike the offensive midfield, the Pride is deep and experienced. Heading the group is junior Steven DeNapoli (Hewlett, NY). An All-CAA second team and AllCAA Tournament selection last year, DeNapoli led the Pride and was 33rd in the country in ground ball average with a 4.2 mark (63 in 15 games). “We think we are pretty fortunate at the short-stick, if we stay healthy,” Tierney says. “I’ve had a chance to coach several d-middies around the country over the
years who have been pretty talented and Steven DeNapoli ranks up there with the best of them. He has a great feel, great energy and has covered the best of the best and he is only a junior.” Senior Tom Interlicchio (Yorktown, NY), who is strong and a veteran having played in 45 games during his Hofstra career, gets moved to the defensive side of midfield this season and should be the second starter on the line. The third short-stick spot will be decided in the preseason between senior Sean Lucas (Rockville Centre, NY), who played in 12 games last season, junior Tim Holman (Garden City, NY) and sophomore Cole Koesterer (Manhattan Beach, CA). “We are moving Tom Interlicchio because he gives us much needed game-day experience,” Tierney says. “We also expect Sean, Tim and Cole to fight it out for the third short-stick middie spot.” The Pride has struggled at the face-off X in recent years, winning just 47% of the face-offs last season. Hofstra will have a new primary face-off man this season with senior Mike Vaccaro (Plano, TX) as the leading candidate heading into the season. Vaccaro had the best winning percentage (.500) on face-offs last season, winning 15 of 30. Freshmen John Antoniades (Hauppauge, NY), who was the CHSAA Face-Off Midfielder of the Year as a senior at St. Anthony’s High School in 2008, James Pezza (Warrenton, VA), an AllVirginia selection out of the Highland School, and Cullen Cassidy (Potomac, MD) will push Vaccaro.

All three of the Pride’s defensive starters return after stellar seasons last year. Swarsen, who may also see time at longstick midfield, played all 15 games last year after missing the 2008 season due to injury and picked up 35 ground balls. Senior Christian Scuderi (West Islip, NY), who played in 14 games and picked 33 ground balls, was named a USILA honorable mention All-American and voted to the All-CAA first team after earning two Division II AllAmerica honors at New York Tech. Junior Mike Skudin (Long Beach, NY), who played in 11 games last season and picked up 18 ground balls, completes the expected starters at close defense. “We are experienced and talented

on defense,” Tierney says. “Adam Swarsen brings a lot of poise in the clearing game, is a great coverplayer and certainly is a guy who has played in a lot of big games for Hofstra. Christian Scuderi had a great first year for us last season after transferring from New York Tech. We are expecting him to defend our opponents’ top attackman or midfielder and do a great job. Michael Skudin brings a great deal of stability to the defense. He is an even-keel type player, very smart with a good lacrosse IQ” Senior Isaac Neal (Aurora, ADAM SwARSEN CO), a fourth-year member of the Pride team who is also expected to play on the special teams units, and freshman Cody Solaja (Dallas, TX), a two-time All-American and a three-time All-Texas selection, are also expected to see time on the defense.
When freshman Andrew Gvozden (Millersville, MD) was called upon to become the starting goalie three games into last season, many wondered if the newcomer was up to the task. The now-sophomore rose to the challenge and rallied his teammates around him on the way to nine victories, an 8.38 goals against average and a .557 save percentage. “Andrew was thrust into the starting role in goal early last year and stepped up,” Tierney says. “He went on a pretty good run for a freshman and the defense played well in front of him. We are hoping that he brings back that confidence this season.” Freshman Rob Bellairs (North Massapequa, NY), who was an All-American as a senior and a four-time All-Nassau County selection at Plainedge High School on Long Island, and classmate Kyle Dillon (North Las Vegas, NV), who posted 350 saves and a .565 save percentage over his last two seasons at Legacy High School, will push Gvozden.

HOFSTRA MEN’S LACROSSE ACADEMIC PLAN The Hofstra Men’s Lacrosse program firmly believes that academic success is as important as success on the field of play. To reinforce the Hofstra Athletics academic program, the men’s lacrosse team has implemented an academic plan of their own to insure that each men’s lacrosse player reaches his full potential in the classroom. Mission: Create an environment where players and coaches know and understand each other on a very strong interpersonal level, allowing coaches the opportunity to provide student-athletes with support and mentoring, and to help them recognize and master the intellectual tools necessary for success. Also, create a standard and set level of accountability with expectations and support systems that, when utilized, will provide our student-athletes the tools necessary to be successful. By working and living in this environment throughout their careers, our goal is to have a sustained positive influence on how our student-athletes think, act, and feel. Our Responsibility: Set a high standard for our studentathletes and be more accountable for academic success. Teach them what is right, and provide the guidance needed to bring to light their strengths and improve on their weaknesses so they can attain their full potential. The Program: This is a counseling based program that will focus on developing relationships first and then provide mentoring and guidance in various ways. While academic success is at the core of this program, this is not strictly an academic initiative. We will focus on life skills, study skills, career planning and other intellectual tools that all individuals should be proficient in. Our team will be divided into different groups based on the intensity of the integration determined. We will focus heavily on the first-year student experience, as they are the most vulnerable group and will make up the foundation for future successes. Listed below (section I) are the different levels of integration with characteristics of each. The primary technique utilized throughout this program will be individual meetings with members of the coaching staff based on the level of integration necessary. It is during these meetings where relationships will be further developed and skills will be discussed. Understanding that time management is one of the most important tools needed, all of our student-athletes will utilize a daily planner that will be discussed in our scheduled meetings. Working closely with the office of Academic Advisement and utilizing Assistant Dean of Advisement Rachel Peel as a supplement to our meeting schedule, we will offer all the resources provided by the University to each of our studentathletes. The Career Center will be both a group and individual activity for our entire team, as career planning and networking will be topics discussed throughout our meeting schedule. A large component of the program is the rules that are in place for each student’s daily academic life. These rules, which are listed after section I, must be adhered to by each member of the team. Section I - Levels of Integration These levels will be determined by the coaching staff at the end of each semester or prior to a student’s matriculation at Hofstra University.

JAMES M. SHUART STADIUM Originally opened in 1963 as Hofstra Stadium and renamed James M. Shuart Stadium in August 2002, the facility serves as the home to Hofstra’s lacrosse teams. Named after the former Hofstra President, who played football and lacrosse during his undergraduate days at Hofstra, Shuart Stadium has served as the host for the NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Championship Quarterfinals and first round games in the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse Championships, numerous conference championship contests, the Long Island All-Star Football Game, the Fun City Bowl featuring the New York City Police and Fire Department teams, the Long Island Lizards of Major League Lacrosse, and various Long Island high school and New York state championship games.

stadium; and the installation of scoreboards in both end zones. The renovation transformed James M. Shuart Stadium into the largest outdoor sports and entertainment complex on Long Island. In 2007 the artificial turf at Shuart Stadium was replaced with FieldTurf, then in 2009 new scoreboards were installed in the north and south end zones. The three largest crowds in Shuart Stadium history occurred during the hosting of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Quarterfinals. A crowd of 12,292, a then-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, 11,292 fans were present for the 2009 NCAA Quarterfinals and 10,510 fans attended the 2001 quarterfinals that featured Hofstra against Syracuse.
HOFSTRA INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY The Pride has use of the Hofstra Indoor Practice Facility, an independently owned bubble that formerly was the property of the New York Jets of the National Football League. The 50yard turf field gives Hofstra a unique environment that most teams in the Northeast do not have. The practice bubble is located on the North Campus, behind the Mack Sports Complex.
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.
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-in-law, 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.
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. 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. 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.”

MARGIOTTA HALL Opened in 1992, Margiotta Hall, a magnificent three-story, 22,500-square-foot building, is a centerpiece of the Hofstra University Athletics program. The state-of-the-art field house, combined with Hofstra’s 13,000-seat stadium, has created one of the finest facilities in the nation. The facility was named after Joseph M.

glass wall, provides a panoramic view of James M. Shuart Stadium. Meetings and receptions for alumni, parents and friends of the Hofstra Athletic program are held in this area. Located on this level are the offices for the men and women’s lacrosse coaching staffs. The lacrosse office was the benefit of a major renovation project in 2008. The offices are equipped with video equipment, a 12-seat theater with stadium seating for group film and meeting sessions, as well as a viewing room with hardwood flooring and a 50-inch flat screen television that overlooks the field. The lower level of Margiotta Hall contains a 178-seat theater and additional meeting rooms.
student-athlete 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 features a 3,500-squarefoot weight room on the first floor. The building also contains locker rooms for men’s lacrosse and women’s lacrosse, all of which have undergone major renovations since 2008.

HOFSTRA 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. 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.
58 — 2010 Hofstra Men’s Lacrosse
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 Through 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. Michael Yorio. Dr. Yorio, a physician with Pro Health Care, Inc. in Lake Success, New York, is in his first year on Hofstra’s medical team. Yorio is an internist with specialized training in sports medicine. He earned his undergraduate degree at Villanova University, and received his medical degree from the SUNY Health Science Center in Syracuse. Yorio previously served as a sports medicine fellow with the University of Maryland Orthopedics. Prior to that, he was a resident physician in internal medicine at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Yorio was named the Director of Player Medical Services for the 2008 U.S. Open Tennis Tournament in Flushing, New York, and is on the medical staff for the New York Islanders. He also worked as a team physician for the University of Maryland from 2003 to 2005. Hofstra University sponsors a fully accredited, highly competitive undergraduate degree program for athletic training majors, in which Hofstra student athletic trainers participate in all aspects of the health care system.

HOFSTRA SYMBOLS AND 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).
60 — 2010 Hofstra Men’s Lacrosse
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 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. 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.
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.
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

GAME 1
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21 VS. #20 MASSACHUSETTS
Jay Card scored his third goal of the game with just four seconds remaining to give the 13th-ranked Pride of Hofstra an 11-10 victory over #20 Massachusetts at James M. Shuart Stadium. Card, a native of Caledon, Ontario, Canada, scored all three of his goals in the final 12 minutes as Hofstra scored six times in the final quarter. He tied the game at 10-all with 1:12 to play, taking a pass from Michael Colleluori to the right of UMass goalie Doc Schneider (8 saves) and firing a bullet from eight yards out. On the winning goal, Card took a pass again on the right side, ducked under a charging defender, and beat Schneider low for the game-winner. Card, the 2008 CAA Rookie of the Year who had three game-winning goals last season, tied the game at 7-7 just 3:48 into the fourth quarter, taking another pass from Colleluori down low and to the side of the cage. Colleluori tallied two goals and three assists in the contest while Dan Stein and Kevin Ford each added two goals. The Minutemen of Massachusetts were led by Evan Blum and Rory Pedrick with two goals and one assist each. In the 34th installment of one of college lacrosse’s fiercest rivalries, the Minutemen jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Blum and Jim Connolly in the first six minutes. Ford put Hofstra on the board with a 13-yard, man-up bullet from the center of the box with 4:36 to play in the first. But Anthony Biscardi and Stein exchanged goals to close the first quarter with the Minutemen ahead, 3-2. Stein’s goal came with two seconds remaining on a wrap-around. Massachusetts opened the second quarter with three straight goals as Pedrick scored 4:54 into the period, and Ryan Hantverk and Joe Reale scoring eight seconds apart late in the period to build a 6-2 lead. Pride sophomore Steven DeNapoli closed the gap with a goal while falling down that beat Schneider high just 15 seconds later. But Bobby Hayes gave the Minutemen a 7-3 lead at the break off a pass from Pedrick with 14 seconds to play. The Pride came out with a sense of urgency in the second half and scored four unanswered goals to tie the game at 7-all. Colleluori started the run with a 12-yard bullet off the stick of Schneider 5:27 into the third to cut the gap to 7-4.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28 AT #15 BROwN
Jay CardÕ s fourth goal of the game with 19 seconds remaining in the second overtime capped a furious 11-10 come-from-behind Hofstra victory over #15 Brown at Mesiter-Kavan Field. The 13th-ranked Pride rallied back from a 10-3 deficit midway through the third quarter to post their second consecutive come-from-behind win. Card, who tallied three of HofstraÕ s last seven goals including the gamewinner, took a cross-crease pass from Michael Colleluori in the air and dunked the ball behind Brown goalie Jordan Burke in the second OT. The Pride were in the man-up situation following an illegal check penalty on Brown midfielder Thomas Muldoon with just 40 seconds remaining in the second extra session. Card finished with four goals and one assist but was topped by JaY carD Colleluori, who posted two goals and career-highs of four assists and six points. Anthony Muscarella and Kevin Ford chipped in each with a goal and an assist. Pride junior goalie Danny Orlando recorded nine saves in the contest including big stops in each of the extra periods. The Bears were led by Andrew FeinbergÕ s three goals and two assists while Muldoon and Kyle Hollingsworth each added a goal and an assist. Burke stopped 15 shots in the Brown cage. Brown jumped on the Pride early, building a 4-0 lead late in the first quarter on a man-up-goal from Jack Walsh, and even-handed goals by Nic Bell, Todd Faiella, and Feinberg. Hofstra middie Steven DeNapoli put the Pride on the board with 3:05 to play in the period with his second goal of the year from 10 yards out in the center of the box to close the gap to 4-1 after one period. In the second quarter, Feinberg and Collins Carey sandwiched a Pride goal by Colleluori, his third of the season, to take a 6-2 lead into the locker room at halftime. Just 11 seconds into the third quarter, Hollingsworth fed Jake Hardy for his first goal of the season to boost the Bears’ lead to 7-2. Card got one back for the Pride with an unassisted tally two minutes later before Brown made a run that looked to put the game out of reach for the Pride. A minute after CardÕ s fourth goal of the year, Feinberg notched his third of the game and sixth of the season to boost the lead back to five at 8-3. Five minutes later, Hollingsworth took a pass from Feinberg and buried a 10-yard bullet behind Orlando. Right off the ensuing face-off - seven seconds later -Muldoon notched his third of the season off a pass from Feinberg to boost the lead to 10-3 with 6:17 to play in the third. But the Pride did not quit. Two minutes later Colleluori started the Pride on
2009 GAME SUMMARIES their long way back with a goal from 8 yards off a pass from Muscarella. Card then notched his second of the game and fifth of the season 1:19 later off a perfect pass to the crease by Colleluori to close the deficit to 10-5. Card added an extra-man goal 3:36 into the fourth quarter off a pass from Colleluori and Tom Dooley notched his first goal of the season off a pass from Card 24 seconds later to inch closer at 10-7. Dan Stein scored his third goal of the season after a pretty pass from Ford with 4:18 to play and a little over a minute later Ford fired a bullet from 10 yards out, after a pass from Colleluori, to close to 10-9 with 3:15 remaining. The Pride got the ball back with just under two minutes remaining in regulation. Muscarella, who sat out last weekÕ s opener against UMass, made a run down the right side of Burke and fired a bullet that beat the senior netminder high and to the far side to tie the game at 10-all with 1:08 to play. The last 58 ticks were highlighted by solid defense before a Pride defender was whistled for a slash with five seconds to play. In the first overtime Dooley had a point-blank shot at the gage for the Pride that was blocked by Brown defender Ryan Cassil before Orlando came up big on a shot by Muldoon with 48 seconds left. The Bears took its last possession of the first OT with 23 seconds remaining but Hofstra junior cocaptain Adam Swarsen stripped his Brown opponent of the ball with nine seconds to play to send the game into a second overtime. The first two minutes of the second OT were highlighted by turnover exchanges before Hofstra had its first good chance of the period to score. With 1:29 to play Muscarella fired a bullet from straight on that was stopped by Burke. After a Brown timeout, the Bears were stuffed on a shot by Orlando before a second shot bounced off the far post behind Orlando. On the ensuing scramble Muldoon was whistled for hitting DeNapoli with an illegal body check giving the Pride a one minute advantage with 40 seconds left in the second extra session and setting up CardÕ s second game-winning goal of the year and the fifth of his young career. The Pride outshot the Bears, 44-3, and picked up 35 ground balls to BrownÕ s 32 in the contest. #13 Hofstra #15 Brown

GAME 4
MARCH 14, 2009 VS. #3 PRINCETON
Freshman goalie Andrew Gvozden shined in his second collegiate start, registering nine saves as the 12th-ranked Pride led wire-to-wire in a 9-7 victory over previously undefeated No. 3 Princeton at James M. Shuart Stadium. Senior midfielder Anthony Muscarella tallied a hat trick and fellow senior middie Ryan Carter added a pair of goals as the Pride defeated a top-3 opponent for the second consecutive season. Senior attacker Tom Dooley added a goal and one assist as Hofstra fended off Princeton’s four-goal fourth quarter rally for its first win over a top-10 opponent since knocking off No. 1 Johns Hopkins in May 2008. Hofstra Head Coach Seth Tierney also defeated his uncle and mentor in Tigers Head Coach Bill Tierney for the first time. The elder Tierney led Princeton to victories over Hofstra in the first two meetings.
A key defensive play extended Hofstra’s momentum late in the first half. Gvozden’s point-blank stick save on Mark Kovler’s shot initiated a breakout the other way. Dooley completed the momentum shift, taking Card’s pass and firing it into the net for a 4-1 lead with 3:06 remaining. Hofstra went into halftime on a high note thanks to Carter’s goal with five seconds left. Out of a Princeton timeout, Colleluori found Carter for a bullet from 10 yards out, giving the Pride a 5-1 edge at the break, chasing Tigers starting goalie Tyler Fiorito. #3 Princeton #12 Hofstra

Hofstra surged to a 5-1 halftime lead and both schools racked up two goals in the third quarter to keep the Pride’s lead at four goals. Muscarella added his fifth goal of the season 2:42 into the third and freshman Brad Loizeaux tallied his first goal just three minutes later as the Pride built its largest lead of the game at 7-1. Yet Princeton’s leading scorer Jack McBride notched his 10th and 11th goals of the season to cut the deficit to four heading into the final quarter. The Tigers moved within 8-6 and enjoyed a man advantage before the Pride killed a penalty for an illegal check at the 7:34 mark. The penalty kill galvanized Hofstra into a key insurance goal with 6:09 left when Muscarella took Carter’s pass and fired a 12-yard laser that made it 9-6. That goal proved critical when Tommy Davis made it a two-goal game with 1:24 remaining. Princeton had a chance to make it a one-goal game before turning it over just inside the final minute. Hofstra got possession back and ran out the clock for the win. Princeton outshot Hofstra, 33-24, though Gvozden was up the challenge by making five second half saves. Hofstra was also 17-for-19 on clears. Slow starts plagued Hofstra in the first three games, though the Pride shrugged off those problems by jumping out to a 2-0 lead after the first quarter. Gvozden made one save while facing eight shots to blank the Tigers through the first 15 minutes. Tom Interlicchio fired a sharp-angle shot to the low-right side of the cage, opening the scoring nearly seven minutes into the contest. Muscarella followed with a running wind-up shot just 48 seconds later.
GAME 5
MARCH 21 AT SACRED HEART
Andrew Gvozden made seven saves, including one in the waning moments of the contest, and Jay Card scored two goals to lead the #6 Hofstra Men’s Lacrosse team to a 6-5 victory over Sacred Heart at Campus Field. The win was Hofstra’s second straight and gave the Pride a 1-0 start in CAA play. Sacred Heart, which saw its two-game win streak come to an end, fell to 0-8 in the series with Hofstra. Hofstra would get on the board first in the contest as Michael Colleluori fed Stephen Bentz for his second goal of the season to put the Pride up 1-0 with 10:45 left in the opening period. Timmy Katz would tie the score up at one for Sacred Heart just over a minute later before Hofstra took a 2-1 lead into the break between periods as Colleluori scored off an assist from Anthony Muscarella with 3:21 left in the first stanza. The second period would be all Sacred Heart, though, as the Pioneers scored twice in the period and held Hofstra to zero goals in taking a 3-2 halftime advantage. David Gannon tied the game at two with an unassisted goal with 2:43 left before Katz notched his second of the game in exciting fashion, picking up a ground ball and finding the back of the net as time expired in the half. Zach Frank assisted in the first half efforts for Sacred Heart as he made six saves in the first 30 minutes. Hofstra would regroup after the intermission as Brad Loizeaux knotted the score at three with 11:06 left in the third period off an assist from Dan Pezzolla before Card came from behind the net for an unassisted goal with 5:57 remaining in the stanza to give the Pride its first lead since 3:21 remained in the first period.

The Pride would keep a one-goal advantage until a pushing penalty on Jake Born gave Sacred Heart a man-up opportunity. The Pioneers would capitalize as Dan Casciano fed Katz for his third goal of the contest to even the score at four with less than seven minutes left in regulation. Hofstra almost immediately answered, though, as Mike Skudin went nearly the distance of the field after getting a pass from Gvozden to give the Pride back the one-goal lead, 5-4, with 6:22 to play. Card then scored what turned out to be a huge insurance goal with 2:15 left as Katz brought the Pioneers within one at the 1:16 mark and Sacred Heart would have a chance in the closing seconds to possibly send the game to overtime.

Tom Dooley’s goal with 1:38 remaining capped off a furious comeback as the Pride rallied from a five-goal second half deficit for a 12-11 victory. The Pride trailed 9-4 less than three minutes into the third quarter before outscoring the Seawolves, 8-2, the rest of the way. Dooley finished with three goals and two assists, while Kevin Ford had a career best five goals and an assist on the evening. The two teams started off slowly with Hofstra taking a 1-0 lead 5:51 into the game on Ford’s first goal of the game off an assist from Sean Lucas. A little over two minutes later the Seawolves tied the score on Robbie Campbell’s unassisted tally and then took a 2-1 lead on Kevin Crowley’s goal with 4:12 on the clock. Campbell’s goal started a 5-0 run for the Seawolves that saw Crowley add a second score before Steve Waldek and Jordan McBride ended it with 13:37 remaining in the second quarter.

Kyle Belton extended the lead 2:20 into the third quarter, converting a Crowley feed for a 9-4 lead. Ford, however, ignited a 4-0 run for the Pride, with the red-shirt freshman getting two goals in the spurt. Dooley’s goal at the 5:20 mark of the fourth quarter capped the run and came off a pass from Michael Colleluori to make the score 9-8 in Stony Brook’s favor. McBride scored from Campbell at 6:51 to put the Seawolves back up by two, 10-8, before Ford scored his fourth and fifth goals of the night to knot the score at 10 with 5:46 remaining. A little over three minutes later Card gave the Pride their first lead since 1-0, when he fired in a shot from 35 yards past an out-of-position Stony Brook keeper Charlie Paar for an 11-10 Pride advantage. The lead was short-lived as Stony Brook won the ensuing faceoff and raced downfield to score the equalizer off the stick of McBride with 2:21 remaining.

CAA SEMIFINALS - APRIL 29 VS. VILLANOVA
Kevin Ford tallied three goals and two assists and Tom Dooley added three goals to lead the ninth-ranked Pride of Hofstra to a 10-3 victory over Villanova in the CAA regular season finale for both teams.
Villanova scored four unanswered fourth quarter goals to erase a 7-5 deficit and post a 9-7 win over top-seeded Hofstra in a Colonial Athletic Association semifinal match-up.
In addition to Ford and Dooley, Hofstra received two goals and one assist from Michael Colleluori and two assists from Anthony Muscarella. Freshman goalie Andrew Gvozden, who made 10 saves, posted his ninth win in 11 outings. The Wildcats, who were held to their lowest offensive output of the season, received goals from Tim Driscoll, Dan Liva and Kevin Cunningham. Senior goalie Andrew DiLoreto, the leading goalie in the CAA, made 11 saves in the Villanova cage.
The game was close throughout, with neither team able to take complete control. The Pride scored first, 4:09 into the game, when Ryan Carter found Brad Loizeaux cutting down the middle and fed the freshman for his fifth goal of the season. However, Villanova senior Matthew Fritts scored two consecutive goals - one with 6:07 left in the opening quarter and one with just four ticks left on the clock to give the Wildcats a 2-1 lead after one quarter.
The two teams split the first four goals as Cunningham’s seventh goal of the season 1:14 into the second quarter tied the game at 2-all. From that point it was all Hofstra as the Pride outscored their visitors 8-1 to post their best defensive effort of the season. Dooley, who posted his third hat-trick of the year, started the 5-0 run with his first of the game and 14th of the season 38 seconds later. Dooley notched his 15th on a runner from 10 yards with 10:22 to play in the second to give Hofstra a 4-2 lead and close out the scoring in the half.
The Pride opened the second stanza with a three-goal outburst, including two by leading scorer Jay Card. Joe Montemurro opened the quarter by winning the faceoff and scooping up the ground ball. He then raced into the offensive end and found Card for the goal just 10 seconds in to tie the score at 2-2. Carter then scored off a feed from Michael Colleluori at the 3:20 mark for a 3-2 Pride lead. Card closed out the run with his 32nd of the year on an assist from Kevin Ford to give Hofstra a 4-2 lead. Villanova’s Tim Driscoll, the Wildcats leading scorer, drew the visitors to within one with his 25th goal off a Chris MacDonald feed with 3:33 remaining in the half.
Ford, who opened the game’s scoring seven minutes into the contest, notched his second and third of the day in the third quarter to boost the score to 6-2. His second goal of the day was scored coming around the cage while his third was on a run across the box after a long pass from Dan Stein. It was Ford’s third hat trick in the last four games. Senior Ryan Carter tallied his eighth of the season, from Ford, with 4:09 to play in the third to boost the Hofstra lead to 7-2. Driscoll ended the Pride run with his 24th goal of the year off a perfect pass from behind the cage with 1:59 to play in the period. It would be the last time the Wildcats would dent the twine as the Pride scored three more times in the final quarter. Jay Card notched his 30th goal of the season, from Muscarella, 3:46 into the fourth. Colleluori scored his second of the game and 12th of the season, off a pass from Muscarella, less than a minute later and Dooley completed his hat-trick, off a pass from Ford, 59 seconds after that for the 10-3 lead. It was Dooley’s 16th goal of the year. Villanova #9 Hofstra

THE COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The 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 post-graduate scholars. In 2008-09, the CAA had more than 1,700 of the league’s 4,000 student-athletes received the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport. The conference 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 12team football league in 2007 and women’s rowing in 2009. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. In 2008-09, 28 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 45 student-athletes received All-America honors. The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with a league-record five teams advancing to postseason play in 2008-09. Conference champion VCU made its third NCAA Tournament appearance in the last six years, while George Mason reached the postseason for the seventh time in a decade in the NIT. Old Dominion, making its fifth straight postseason trip, captured the inaugural CIT championship, while James Madison made the CIT semifinals. Northeastern reached the quarterfinals of the CBI. In 2006, George Mason captured the nation’s imagination by becoming the first mid-major program since 1979 to reach the Final Four, knocking off powerhouses Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut along the way. The Patriots were ranked No. 8 in the final ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll, which was the highest ever for a CAA team. The CAA has had at least three women’s basketball teams participate in post-season play for the past four seasons. Drexel captured its first CAA championship in 2009 and was joined in the NCAA Tournament by VCU, giving the league multiple teams in the Big Dance for the second time in three years. James Madison earned a post-season berth for the fourth year in a row in the WNIT. Perennial power Old Dominion, which has won three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and was national runner-up in 1997, claimed an NCAA-record 17 straight CAA titles before seeing its incredible streak come to an end last year.
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.
The conference also excels in many other sports. CAA squads
