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.

senior reflections
T
he class of 2010 was Abby Morgan’s first recruiting class as head coach. These nine seniors reflect on their careers at the University and what it means to be a member of the Hofstra Lacrosse family.
“T
he decision to take my fifth year was an easy one due to the fact that I have supportive coaches, a dedicated athletic training staff and the best teammates! I think my injury was a blessing in disguise because it afforded me the opportunity to live the dream for one more year and continue my education in the Frank G. Zarb School of Business. I have very high hopes for this year’s team and am looking forward to winning, being the best leader I can be, and having fun!”
“B
efore I left for my first year of college at Hofstra, I was extremely nervous and didn’t know what to expect. I thought I was going to have a hard time making friends, but soon found out that was not the case. I have formed bonds with these girls that I know will last more than a lifetime. I could not have been luckier in finding a team as great as this one. Hofstra Lacrosse has given me great memories and matured me as an individual. Our team is more than a group of girls playing lacrosse. It has become my family and a home away from home, and for that I am so thankful.”
—Ashley Jones —Sandy Wasserbach
“H
ofstra University’s high academic standing and nationally prominent lacrosse team provided an amazing college experience for me. The friendships I have formed with my teammates are an inseparable bond, which I will always cherish and never forget.” —Mary Cuddihy
“H
ofstra Lacrosse has given me more than just the chance to play sports during my college years. It has given me a family. From day one these girls have been my best friends and support system, and while I can’t believe this time is coming to an end I have no doubt that these bonds will pass the test of time. All of the sweat, long hours on a bus, competitions, wins, losses, highs and lows don’t come anywhere close to comparing to with the great friendships I can take away from the Hofstra Lacrosse experience.”
“H
ofstra Lacrosse is not just a name to me, but a way of life. For the past four years not only has lacrosse given me an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than myself, but I have made life-long friendships and memories with people that I will never forget. I have been pushed farther, both physically and mentally, than I have ever been before. Hofstra Lacrosse has allowed me to achieve such greatness and confidence not only as a player but as an individual as well. Life is full of so many unexpected battles, but because of the home that I have created here with my Hofstra family, I know that those many battles will become many victories through determination and hard work. It is because of the athletic community, the Pride, that I will be able to reach all of my dreams in life. These girls have become not only my teammates, but my sisters who I will fight for till the end of time.” —Bryana Borrelli

“D
hroughout my career at Hofstra I’ve been able to watch myself grow not only as an athlete, but also as an individual. Being part of a team made up of such an amazing group of girls has given me all the confidence in the world. It has taught me to work hard, give my all and to never let down. Lacrosse has made me realize how important it is to cherish each moment and to take advantage of every opportunity I’m given. I’ve built friendships and memories, and learned lessons that will stay with me forever.
eciding to play Division I lacrosse is a sacrifice and commitment, and deciding to commit to that here at Hofstra has brought on more meaning than what I expected. Being part of the Pride means you are part of a family that works every day to prepare for the season and it has made me realize that being a Division I athlete is about the fight, and the ups and downs... and winning is about the team that fights together. It has given me a wellrounded opportunity that I hope to finish with a bang. It is what this team has worked endlessly for.”
—Corrine Gandolfi
—Liz Falco
“B
eing a member of the Hofstra Lacrosse community for the past four years has not only taught me things about lacrosse, but things that I can use in my future endeavors. I have learned responsibility, along with the value of hard work and teamwork. I believe that I have been very lucky in that each and every year I start out with 30 teammates and end up with 30 great friends.
—K’Leigh Vanaman
“P
laying lacrosse at Hofstra has bestowed in me a great amount of overall confidence. I know that my experiences here have prepared me to handle any situation that I may face in the future. I will remember that hard work and dedication always get you where you want to be. I have also learned that helping others, or simply making others smile, is the most rewarding part of life. Most importantly, during my career at Hofstra, I have formed life-long friendships with my teammates that I will cherish forever.” —Courtney O’Connor

Head coach abby morgan
A
bby Morgan, a three-year assistant coach for the Pride, became the eighth women’s lacrosse coach in school history on August 7, 2006. In her first season at the helm, she led her team to a 12-7 overall record, a 6-1 Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) mark, the team’s first CAA championship and its second-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Morgan brings a 29-22 career record into her fourth season at the helm. The 2009 season saw Morgan guide Hofstra to a 10-6 overall record, and the team was recognized nationally by earning IWLCA Merit Squad honors for having one of the top three cumulative grade point averages nationally. In addition, Morgan assisted in the progress of Corrine Gandolfi, who became just the seventh player in program history to earn All-American honors and was selected to the U.S. Developmental Team. In 2008 Hofstra compiled a 7-9 overall record and a 4-3 mark in the CAA. Hofstra finished in a tie for fourth in the conference and beat two squads ranked in the top 20 during the season. In addition, the Pride had four players named to postseason All-CAA teams, including two members of the All-CAA first team. The Pride was ranked 16th in the final IWLCA Poll of the 2007 season, the team’s highest final ranking in program history. Morgan also saw one of her star players, Kimberly Hillier, named a third team All-American and get selected to play on the United States Developmental Team. The
2007 squad finished the year ranked 22nd in winning percentage (.632) and was 23rd in the nation in scoring defense (10.16 GAPG). Morgan joined the Hofstra staff at the start of the 2003-04 academic year after a two-year stint as the top assistant at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey. Since Morgan’s arrival the Pride has totaled 52 wins, which ranks as the best five-year win total in program history. In addition, Hofstra made three straight appearances in the CAA championship game from 2005 to 2007 and was ranked nationally at the conclusion of four of the last five seasons. Under Morgan’s tutelage, 10 Pride student-athletes have earned CAA postseason honors, and three members of the program have garnered All-America accolades. Morgan coached three of the greatest players in school history in Hillier, Becky Thorn and Casey McGrath. Hillier (twice) and Thorn were both All-Americans, while the three players earned All-CAA honors 10 times between them. The trio combined to score 413 goals and rank two, three and four on the career goals list, and are in the top five in career points and draw controls. Hillier’s 73 points in 2006 is tied for the school record, as are her 82 career assists, while Thorn graduated as Hofstra’s all-time leader in draw controls. As an assistant coach, Morgan worked with the Hofstra defense, as well as serving as recruiting coordinator. Under her tutelage in 2005 the Pride ranked ninth in the NCAA in caused turnovers and All-American defender Bridget Eder led the nation in caused turnovers and was 11th in ground balls. Hofstra’s goalkeepers also fared well under Morgan’s direction as Maisie Osteen was sixth in the nation in goals against

average, while Lisa Papa ranked 19th in save percentage. In 2004 the Pride ranked 10th in the NCAA in ground balls per game, and Eder led the nation in ground balls and was 11th in caused turnovers and draw controls, while Papa ranked 18th in the nation in goals against average. In Morgan’s first year as head coach, she launched her own company called InCrease Lacrosse Camps, Inc. The company provides quality lacrosse instruction and competition for girls of all ages. InCrease Lacrosse offers various clinics and camps throughout the year that introduce the game to newcomers and advance players to the next level. Through her work with InCrease Lacrosse, Morgan is continually developing youth lacrosse on Long Island while promoting Hofstra to the local community. At Monmouth she helped guide the Hawks to Northeast Conference regular season first and second place finishes in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Morgan was responsible for developing the attack at Monmouth, and mentored four All-NEC attackers and five All-NEC midfielders during her tenure. Morgan was also the team’s academic advisor and facilitated fund-raising efforts for the Hawks. A 2001 graduate of the University of Connecticut, Morgan was a fouryear starter and one of Coach Bonnie Rosen’s first recruits. Morgan led the Huskies in scoring as a freshman and was third during her sophomore year. She finished her junior year eighth in the nation in assists and garnered the Husky Award for dedication to the Connecticut program. A captain as a junior and senior, she finished her collegiate career as UConn’s single season (28) and career (63) leader in assists, and now ranks second in both categories. In addition, she is in the top five at Connecticut in goals, points and assists. Morgan also excelled in the classroom where she was named a New England Scholar-Athlete and was a member of the inaugural All-Big East Honor Roll. Currently serving on the IWLCA Mid-Atlantic All-American selection committee, Morgan has been a chapter director of the Long Island Metropolitan Lacrosse Foundation (LIMLF) since 2006 and is a past chairperson of the women’s hall of fame committee for the LIMLF. Morgan, who has a degree in human development and family relations, is a native of West Chester, Pennsylvania, and currently resides in New Hyde Park, New York.

anya Kotowicz is in her second season as an assistant coach with the Pride after serving as the head coach at Marist College in 2008. In her only season at the helm, she guided her squad to the first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) title in school history. A 2004 graduate of Connecticut, Kotowicz led Marist to 10 wins in 2008 as the Red Foxes dropped a NCAA Play-In contest and fell one win shy of qualifying for the NCAA Championship. It was a banner year for the Marist program as nine different members of the squad earned All-MAAC honors, 10 were named to the MAAC All-Tournament squad and a total of 14 garnered MAAC All-Academic accolades. It was her second stint in Poughkeepsie as she previously was an assistant coach for the Red Foxes in 2006. In between stops at Marist, Kotowicz was an assistant coach at St. Mary’s (CA) during the 2007 campaign. During her tenure with the Gaels, St. Mary’s led the nation in ground balls and had eight players named to the Academic All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) team.
Kotowicz also has international playing and coaching experience. The former Connecticut captain was a member of the Wilderness Lacrosse Team in Adelaide, Australia, in 2003 and also served as a coach with the MAAC All-Star Team in Tokyo, Japan, during the summer of 2006. This past January Kotowicz was on the coaching staff of the USA Athletes International Lacrosse team that won the gold medal at the Southern Cross Lacrosse Challenge in Australia. Kotowicz has extensive camp and volunteer experience, as she has worked in 13 different states, Japan and Australia at various camps and clinics. Highlighting her work of spreading the game of lacrosse to developing areas are camps in Georgia, Washington and Hawaii. She was the recipient of the Sam Witryol Award, presented to a UConn player who consistently makes a positive contribution to the team and understands the spirit of the game, in 2004. Kotowicz, a native of Hicksville, New York, was a Big East ScholarAthlete from 2002 to 2005 and a Big East Academic All-Star from 2000 to 2005. The 2005 team that she was a member of was ranked 15th in the nation and won the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championship.

2010 outlook
H
ofstra will look to complete a two-year rebuilding process and ride a veteran-laden team to a Colonial Athletic Association championship in 2010.
For the second straight season, the Pride returns its top five scorers. In addition, eight of the squad’s 10 double-digit goal-scorers are also back from a team that finished 10-6 in 2009. The final tally marked a threewin improvement from the previous year and gives the Pride a gametested, deep group that includes nine seniors. Corrine Gandolfi, Liz Falco, Ashley Jones, Stephanie Rice and K’Leigh Vanaman accounted for nearly two-thirds of Hofstra’s total goals and all are back as they attempt to propel Hofstra into the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007. Hofstra Head Coach Abby Morgan will look to complement the veteran players with a mix of eight freshmen. Those youngsters should fortify a unit that entered the national top-20 in the latter part of the 2009 campaign and knocked off nationally-ranked James Madison at home. “The biggest thing we’ve been trying to push to them as a coaching staff is to be versatile,” Morgan said. “We want to be very difficult to scout against and show different looks.” Here is a position-by-position look at the 2010 Pride:

Senior Liz Falco became a go-to scorer in her first season at Hofstra and is expected to fulfill a more extensive role in her senior campaign. Falco, who transferred from Marist after scoring 31 goals for the Red Foxes, saw time as a midfielder/attacker last season. After notching 29 goals, including a game-winning score, Falco earned second team All-CAA honors and will now be entrusted to make an impact on the draw control, and have more leadership on the attacking end. Fellow senior Ashley Jones is also expected to impact the attack after emerging as one of the Pride’s best playmakers. liz falco Hofstra’s fourth-leading scorer from a season ago added 19 goals and was also just one of two team members to compile doubledigit assists. Jones started nine games last year and will see an increased workload in 2010. Stephanie Rice started all 16 games as a sophomore and is expected to round out the starting attack corps after scoring 23 goals in 2009. “Stephanie is always a presence in the eight-meter and we expect her to increase

her goal production this season,” commented Coach Morgan.
ashley Jones
Like Jones, senior Courtney O’Connor enters the spring as a favorite to start after coming primarily off the bench last season. Despite starting just three of her 15 games, O’Connor scored 10 goals in her junior season. In a testament to the Pride’s depth, Morgan said 16 different players scored in fall exhibition contests. Those included goals from four freshmen who could earn substantial playing time immediately. Long Island native and three-time All-New York State selection Jackie Ardolino joins the Pride after scoring 369 career goals for William Floyd High School in Shirley. Claire Brady comes to Hofstra after a stellar high school career in Sykesville, MD, where she scored 40 goals as a senior. Taylor Albright will also try and crack the rotation after earning allconference first team honors for Morris Township High School in New Jersey last season. Glenside, PA, native Lauren Chandler also brings a goal-scoring presence after tallying 96 goals and 68 assists over her last two seasons for Springfield Township High School.

Corrine Gandolfi anchors the midfield unit after posting a 45-goal season that earned her third team All-America and first team All-CAA selections. The senior led Hofstra with 25 assists, three gamewinning goals, 84 shots and 32 draw controls. Gandolfi enters her last season needing just one more goal for her 100th career tally and rides the momentum of a careerbest season in which she led the CAA with a 4.38 points-per-game average in cracking Hofstra’s top-10 all-time scoring list. “If teams are going to take away a part of her game, she shows them something

else,” Morgan said. “That’s the skill of a great player. She’s an unselfish player and knows when to give up the ball when the focus is all on her. She really works with her teammates.” Seniors Sandy Wasserbach and K’Leigh Vanaman also enter the spring as probable starters after each appeared in every Hofstra game last year. Wasserbach tallied 11 goals and five assists on the season, while Vanaman had 14 goals and seven assists. Junior Jennalee Trombley will add depth after starting seven games and scoring two goals. Trombley could also be utilized as a defender.
Freshmen Jill Maier, Emily von Hollen and Casey Kellogg will also look to make a mark at the midfield and help alleviate pressure on the veterans. Maier was a high school All-American as a senior at Honeoye Falls (NY) High School, while von Hollen anchored a Severna Park (MD) squad that won three state championships. Kellogg was a two-time all-league selection at Downingtown (PA) West High School.

Senior Bryana Borrelli and juniors Katie Hertsch and Bettina Mianulli are in line to reprise their roles as defensive starters. The trio appeared in every game as part of a stellar defensive unit that surrendered 29 fewer goals than the Pride offense scored. Hertsch picked up 36 ground balls and will have even more freedom to lead a defensive group that lost co-captain Alysse Ruszkowski and her team-leading 44 ground balls to graduation. Morgan said a pair of underclassmen in sophomore Lizzie Zorovich and freshman Emily Corzel will see consistent minutes on the unit, while senior Jenn Olson will again be asked to serve as a role player.

performance. The coach also said a thriving offense could be the key to maximizing defensive efficiency. “We have experience in managing the game,” Morgan said. “When we have the ball, the pressure is taken off the defense. We plan to be a team that controls the game through possession.”
G o a l K e e P e R Senior Mary Cuddihy and sophomore Jackie Pandolf will battle for the starting job for a second straight season, though Cuddihy has the early edge after factoring in every decision last season. Cuddihy took over the top spot in 2009 and registered 113 stops in goal. After playing limited time as a sophomore, Cuddihy recorded a 9.84 goals against average in just more than 786 minutes. Pandolf, an All-American at Long Island’s Sachem High School, will again try to push Cuddihy with the luxury of a full year of experience behind her. As a freshman, the netminder appeared in 10 games, all in relief, and made 16 saves.

The Pride will face a competitive schedule but can surge to a quick start with three straight home games. Notre Dame will come to Shuart Stadium, while Hofstra will hit the road to play Stanford and Cornell as part of the schedule’s non-conference portion. The CAA schedule includes matchups against four teams that finished better than .500 last year. Seven teams that appear on the Pride’s 2010 schedule are ranked in Lacrosse Magazine’s Preseason Top 20 poll. “We would like to see our team become consistent,” Morgan said. “If we play up to our capabilities, the wins will come.”

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.
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.
Hayes, the eighth director of athletics at Hofstra, leads a department that includes 17 Division I teams, 90 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 studentathletes 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
Active on a national level, Hayes served on the NCAA Division I Lacrosse Committee from September 2006 to September 2008. Hayes came to Hofstra with more than 14 years of athletic administration experience, including management positions at four Division I institutions – Connecticut, Fordham, St. John’s and Fairfield. Hayes received a master’s degree in education in 1992 with a concentration in sport management from the University of Connecticut. He holds a bachelor’s degree (1989) from Providence College, where he was a member of Providence’s lacrosse team. He was also awarded a certificate of completion in 2001 from the Sports Management Institute, Consortium of the Universities of Michigan and Texas. A native of Providence, Rhode Island, Hayes graduated from the Providence Country Day School where he lettered in football, basketball and lacrosse. He was inducted, as a member of his high school basketball team, into the Providence Country Day Athletic Hall of Fame in October 2004. Hayes resides in East Northport, New York, with his wife Bridget, daughter Katie (7), and sons Matt (4) and Tommy (1).

James m. shuart stadium/indoor Practice Facility
O
riginally 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. The stadium also served as a home for the Long Island Rough Riders of professional soccer’s A-League. In 1968 the stadium became the third college facility in the nation to install an artificial playing surface. Shuart Stadium underwent a major renovation and expansion that was completed in the fall of 1996, making the facility into one of the premier complexes in the Northeast. The project included the expansion of the seating capacity from 7,000 to 13,000; the creation of the Howdy Myers Pavilion in the southeast corner of
2010 Women’s Lacrosse
the 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.

T
he 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 50-yard 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.

margiotta Hall
O
pened in 1992, Margiotta Hall, a magnificent threestory, 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. Margiotta ’50, a former Pride studentathlete and long-time supporter. Margiotta, who founded and served as President of the Hofstra Pride Club for more than 20 years, passed away in November 2008 Margiotta Hall features a 3,500-square-foot 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.
Margiotta Hall Weight Room
The state-of-the-art athletic training room, also located on the first floor, has hydrotherapy and electrotherapy areas, cardiovascular and isokinetic equipment, as well as taping areas, a rehabilitation area, an aerobics room, and athletic trainer and physician offices. On the second floor, an attractive multi-purpose room, enclosed by a 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.
lacrosse office suite film Room
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.

Hofstra Heritage The symbols of Hofstra university The Shield Logo
In 2005 Hofstra introduced a new logo as part of a Universitywide reimaging. 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.
40
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 studentathletes, 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 studentathletes demonstrate both on and off the field. The first consistent use of the word “Pride” relating to athletics was in 1989 when the University’s athletic booster club was founded and called itself The Pride Club, which at the time simply referred to the pride that alumni and fans had for our teams. The Pride identity has progressed over the past decade in a more specific fashion than just the expression of a feeling. After one lion on the Hofstra seal was changed into a lioness to symbolize gender equity, the University mascots -- Kate and Willie Pride, a lioness and lion – were introduced.

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

academic support
H
ofstra University is committed to the pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. The University views participation in intercollegiate athletics as benefiting the student-athlete in an educationally enhancing experience beyond any other opportunity available. Hofstra also realizes the time commitment made by student-athletes and has committed the facilities and resources to support all students. 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.
42
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
T
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. 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.

The colonial athletic association
T
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 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 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.
2010 Women’s Lacrosse
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.

he team is also active in the Nick Colleluori HEADstrong Foundation, which was founded by former Pride Men’s Lacrosse player Nick Colleluori and raises money and awareness for the treatment of blood cancer. Colleluori started the foundation before succumbing to non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2006. The inaugural Nick Colleluori Women’s Lacrosse Classic was held this past September 26 at Hofstra University and the event was a resounding success as it raised $32,000 to help bring awareness to the HEADstrong Foundation and blood cancer research. “We are very honored to have hosted the first-ever Nick Colleluori Women’s Lacrosse Classic,” commented Head Women’s Lacrosse Coach Abby Morgan. “Nick meant a lot to so many people and we hope that the $32,000 we helped raise during the event will assist in the fight against this dreaded disease.” The event included 12 teams: Hofstra, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Albany, Bentley, Adelphi, C.W. Post, Stonehill, Long Island, Iona and a
pair of post-collegiate teams (New York Athletic Club and Team 27 - a team comprised of Hofstra alumnae usually known as the Long Island Lady Lizards) and each squad played four games during the day. The games were spread out over three fields, including on the main turf at James M. Shuart Stadium. Highlighting the day was a speech prior to the Hofstra versus Massachusetts contest by Cheryl Colleluori, talking about the HEADstrong Foundation, her son Nick and the firstever event of its kind on the women’s side.

Game 11 versus George Mason: Liz Falco scored as time expired in the first overtime, and Hofstra rallied from a one-goal deficit early in the extra session, to defeat George Mason, 12-11, at James M. Shuart Stadium. The goal was the third of the game for Falco, who tied for game-high honors with Madalyn Jamison of George Mason and teammate Corrine Gandolfi. Following a thrilling 13-12 double overtime victory over #20 James Madison, it marks the first time since midway through the 2001 season that Hofstra has played back-to-back overtime contests. A balanced first half that saw six different goal scorers for the Pride would allow Hofstra to take a 6-3 lead at the break. Back-to-back goals from Jamison and Chelsea Gamble early in the contest would give George Mason a 2-1 lead at the 21:53 mark of the first half before Hofstra closed the first stanza by scoring five of the last six goals to earn the three-goal advantage. Gandolfi, who scored Hofstra’s final goal of the opening half, would score off a feed from Sandy Wasserbach 3:18 into the second half to push the Pride’s lead up to 7-3. The lead would be at 8-4 after an unassisted goal from Gandolfi with 24:34 left in regulation before the Patriots began to mount their comeback. George Mason would score six of the final eight goals in the second half, including two straight to end regulation (both from Brittany Berger) to send the contest into the extra session. The Patriots got on the board first in overtime as Berger came up big again, picking up her third tally of the contest with 3:20 left to give George Mason the one-goal advantage. After a save from goalie Mary Cuddihy, one of her career-high tying 11 in the contest, with 1:51 to play in overtime, Hofstra would tally the equalizer with 49 seconds left as Gandolfi sent a pass to the stick of K’Leigh Vanaman, who found the back of the net for her first goal of the game. Bettina Mianulli would corral the ensuing draw control and Hofstra would get the possession into the offensive end with less than 30 seconds left. With time winding down, a foul was called on George Mason’s Emily Ellisen and the Pride’s Vanaman was set up for a free position shot with only two seconds left. When play was whistled to begin, Vanaman keenly found a wide-open Falco near the far post and the transfer from Marist ended the contest at the buzzer.
