head Women’s Lacrosse 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 41-28 career record into her fifth season at the helm.
Hofstra is coming off a 2010 season that saw the squad post a 12-6 record and advance to the CAA title game. The team was ranked 15th in the final IWLCA Poll, the highest final ranking since 2007. In addition, Morgan coached thensenior Corrine Gandolfi to her second All-America honor in as many seasons and also saw rising junior Katie Hertsch earn a spot on the United States Women’s Senior National Team. Statistically, the team led the CAA in goals, assists and points per game and ranked eighth in the nation in draw controls. In the classroom Morgan saw her team earn IWLCA Merit Squad honors and boast the top team GPA in all of Division I women’s Lacrosse. 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 development of Gandolfi, who became just the seventh player in program history to earn AllAmerican honors. 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 13th in the final IWLCA Poll of the 2007 season, which is the team’s highest final ranking in program history. Morgan also

saw one of her star players, Kimberly Hillier, named a third team AllAmerican 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 74 wins. In addition, Hofstra made three straight appearances in the CAA championship game from 2005 to 2007 and was ranked nationally at the conclusion of five of the last seven seasons. Under Morgan’s tutelage, 16 Pride student-athletes have earned CAA postseason honors, and four members of the program have garnered AllAmerica accolades. Morgan has coached four of the greatest players in school history in Hillier, Becky Thorn, Casey McGrath and Gandolfi. Hillier and Gandolfi (twice) and Thorn were each All-Americans, while the four players earned All-CAA honors 13 times between them. The group combined to score 561 goals and rank two through five on the career goals list, and are in the top six in career points. 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,

assistant coaches/staff Tanya Kotowicz Assistant Coach Tanya Kotowicz, a 2004 graduate of the University of Connecticut, is in her third season as an assistant coach with the Pride after serving as the head coach at Marist College in 2008. Since her arrival at Hofstra, the Pride have won 22 games and advanced to the Colonial Athletic Association championship game in 2010.
Kotowicz has extensive camp and volunteer experience, as she has worked in 13 different states, Japan and Australia at various camps and clinics.

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 Scholar-Athlete from 2002 to 2005 and a Big East Academic All-Star from 2000 to 2005.

In her only season at the helm of the Red Foxes, she guided her squad to the first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) title in school history. Kotowicz led Marist to 10 wins 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.

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.

he Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team enters the 2011 season looking to build off a strong 2010 campaign. The Pride posted a 12-6 record and advanced to the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) championship game last season, and a final national ranking of #15. Taking that next step won’t be easy as the team did graduate six of its top nine scorers, including two-time All-American Corrine Gandolfi and IWLCA All-Region pick Liz Falco. The Hofstra defense took less of a hit, losing two starters. But fifth Claire Brady -year Head Coach Abby Morgan returns a solid nucleus and has added a talented recruiting class, and believes that her team can be in contention for a title once again. In looking at the roster, it is easy to see the cause of Morgan’s optimism. Senior Stephanie Rice and sophomore Jill Maier can both provide scoring punch, while the defense is anchored by senior All-CAA selection Katie Hertsch, who was selected to play on the U.S. Senior National Team. While the graduated Mary Cuddihy may have started 15 of 18 games last season in goal, junior Jackie Pandolf saw action in 15 games and made three starts, and has played in 25 career games, so a lack of experience in the cage will not be an issue. Here is a look at the 2011 Pride by position:
ATTACK Rice leads a talented group of players at attack and will be looked upon to be a scoring leader for the Pride. As a junior, Rice tallied 23 goals and two assists for 25 points. The versatile Rice could also see action in the Hofstra midfield. Sophomore Claire Brady will also play a big role in 2011 after playing in 17 games off the bench last season. Brady was an adept playmaker as a freshman with six goals and 15 assists, a total that ranked second to Stephanie Rice Gandolfi’s 22. Sophomore Jackie Ardolino was one of nine double-digit goal scorers in 2010 as she recorded 15 goals and four assists on the season. After a collegiate season under her belt, Morgan is expecting even better things from the former three-time All-New York State selection who recorded 369 goals during her scholastic career. Morgan also expects big things from freshman Lindsay McKinnon, who was an AllAmerican last season after scoring 47 goals and adding 68 assists at
Fairport (NY) High School. Sophomores Lauren Chandler and Taylor Albright will both look to increase their playing time in 2011 and become regulars in the attack rotation. Chandler played in eight games as a freshman and recorded five goals and one assist, while Albright scored three goals in nine games. Freshmen Julia Riemer and Calli Foley will push for playing time as well. Riemer was an Under Armour All-American in 2009 at Hereford High School in Maryland, while Foley led her Gwynedd (PA) Mercy Academy team in scoring in two of her four seasons.
MIDFIELD Maier, who scored 22 goals and added eight assists and 18 draw controls, returns to a midfield position after starting seven of 18 games as a freshman. She earned CAA All-Rookie honors and was a two-time CAA Rookie of the Week. Red-shirt sophomore Maryann Miller returns in 2011 after missing last season due to injury. Miller’s return is welcomed as she provides another scoring threat after Jennalee Trombley posting 12 goals during her freshman campaign. Miller could also slide to attack when necessary. Senior Jennalee Trombley started 17 of 18 games last season and provides a strong defensive presence at midfield. Trombley posted 13 ground balls and nine caused turnovers in 2010 to go along with two goals and two assists. Sophomore Casey Kellogg also is a strong defensive midfielder who can provide a bit of scoring punch. She played in all 18 games as a freshman and tallied nine goals and an assist, as well as 11 ground balls and five caused turnovers. Four true freshmen, as well as a sophomore who missed all of last season, will also look to make an Jill Maier impact on the Pride’s midfield. Alex Mezzanotte was a standout at John Carroll High School in Maryland and helped her team to two IAAM Class A conference

2011 outlook championships. Sophomore Emily von Hollen missed all of 2010 due to injury and will look to return to the form that saw her help her Severna Park High School team to three Class 3A/4A Maryland Championship teams from 2007 to 2009. Jenn Ward joins the Pride after earning first team all-county accolades as a junior and senior at Fallston (MD) High School. Liz Anders joins the squad from Maryvale Preparatory School in Maryland, while Chelsea Blanchette was team Most Valuable Player at Exeter (NH) High School.
as well. Hannon played in seven games as a junior, Zorovich appeared in 13 contests and Jones scooped up 10 ground balls in 18 games as a sophomore. Freshmen Sam Greiber and Jamie D’Arco will look to break into the lineup after posting outstanding scholastic careers. Greiber picked up 45 ground balls and added 20 draw controls as a senior at the Severn School in Maryland, while D’Arco was an All-Washington Post selection at Good Counsel High School in Maryland after recording 45 ground balls, 30 caused turnovers and 10 draw controls as a senior.
GOALKEEPER Pandolf was 3-0 on the season and had an 8.26 goals against average and 56 saves. Pandolf had several strong performances in the cage including a win off the bench over Towson in the CAA Semifinals, allowing no goals in 14:12.
Jaclyn Pandolf
Bettina Mianulli
DEFENSE The Pride’s defensive unit is probably the most experienced segment of the team led by Hertsch and classmate Bettina Mianulli. Hertsch was a first team all-region and all-conference selection in 2010 after posting 34 ground balls, 31 draw controls and 18 caused turnovers on the season. Mianulli started 17 of 18 games last season and picked up 16 ground balls. Mianulli is a lockdown crease Katie Hertsch defender who serves as the “glue” for the defensive unit. Sophomore Emily Corzel is also expected to see a great deal of action on the back line. Corzel started 10 of 16 games during her rookie season and had 15 ground balls. Senior Alexandra Hannon and juniors Lizzie Zorovich and Chrissy Jones will likely see significant action

SCHEDULE Hofstra’s 16-game slate features 11 opponents that won at least 10 games last season and four schools that qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 2010. “Our 2011 schedule follows the tradition that has been set here at Hofstra,” commented Morgan. “We continue to play top notch nonconference opponents to prepare us for our competitive Colonial Athletic Association schedule. Coming off a year in which two CAA teams made the NCAA Tournament, we need to compete against the best in the country to achieve our post-season goals.” Hofstra’s nine non-conference opponents in 2011 put together a combined winning percentage of 66% (102-52) in 2010, with the University of Pennsylvania leading the way with a 15-4 mark last season. Penn is one of two teams on the Pride’s schedule that advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament last season, with James Madison being the other. In addition to those two schools, Notre Dame and Towson are the other two opponents on the schedule that made the NCAA Tournament.

this is Hofstra
E
ntering its 75th year, Hofstra University provides a dynamic college experience tailored for engaged and ambitious individuals. Students find their edge at Hofstra, through small classes, a faculty whose primary concern is teaching, cutting edge technology, extensive library resources, internships, and special educational programs that appeal to their interests and abilities. The Hofstra community is driven, dynamic and energetic, helping students find and focus their strengths to prepare them for a successful future. In its relatively short history, Hofstra has established itself as a world-class institution of higher education and cultural enterprise. Each academic year, the Hofstra campus and the programs offered grow and change to meet the demands of our students and our community. Hofstra opened in 1935 as a commuter school with all classes and offices housed in one building. Since those early days, Hofstra has evolved into an international institution with a student body hailing from 47 states and territories, and 67 countries around the world. The beautiful campus is an accredited arboretum with 115 buildings on 240 acres. There are approximately 4,200 students living on campus, and Hofstra offers them and all students an extensive array of academic and social activities. Additionally, Hofstra’s close proximity to Manhattan means that students have easy access to the wondrous cultural, social and career offerings of the city. What has remained consistent throughout the years, however, is the sense of community on campus, the eagerness of our students to learn and the commitment of the Hofstra faculty and administration to provide a challenging education that

encourages the pursuit of lifelong learning. The Colleges and Schools of the University are: Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Frank G. Zarb School of Business, New College for Interdisciplinary Studies, School of Communication, School of Education, Health and Human Services, School of Law, School for University Studies, Honors College, Hofstra University Continuing Education and Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University. Bachelor’s degrees are offered in about 140 areas of study. Graduate degrees are offered, including Ph.D., Ed.D., Psy.D., Au.D., and J.D. degrees, advanced certificates and professional diplomas, in more approximately 150 programs of study. Hofstra joined with North Shore-LIJ Health System in announcing plans to establish a medical school on the University campus in October 2007. The new school, which will enroll its first students in 2011, will be the first allopathic (MD) medical school in Nassau County and the first in New York State since 1963. In October 2008 the eyes of the world were on Hofstra as the University hosted the final presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain. The October 15 debate, moderated by Bob Schieffer, was a transformational moment for the University, highlighting the achievements of our students and faculty and their engagement in the political process. Leading up to the debate, students and the entire community were engaged by the year-long Educate ’08 program, almost 150 lectures, conferences, and events focused on the issues, history and politics of the presidency. Hofstra has followed the Educate ’08 program with Define ’09, a year-long series of programs designed to examine the new presidential administration, its policies and initiatives, the challenges we currently face and ways of addressing our country’s most pressing issues. 2008 also saw Hofstra award its first Guru Nanak Interfaith Prize to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. The new international award, which recognizes efforts at interfaith dialogue, received 75 nominations for individuals and organizations from around the world. Hofstra’s School of Communication is one of the largest, most advanced non-commercial television facilities in the East. Students take classes and work in Dempster Hall, a sophisticated television production/post-production facility with two broadcast-

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
J
ack Hayes is in his seventh year as director of athletics at Hofstra University in 2010-11. Hayes was appointed by Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz as the University’s director of athletics on October 4, 2004. Hayes came to Hofstra after serving as an associate director of athletics at the University of Connecticut for three years. Hayes, the eighth director of athletics at Hofstra, leads a department that includes 17 Division I teams, 90 coaches and administrative staff members and 350 student-athletes. Hayes’ proven expertise in enhancing academic and athletic success of student-athletes, strategic planning, fund-raising, marketing, university relations, facility enhancement, budgetary management, and NCAA compliance complements Hofstra University’s athletic department in its quest to further enhance its athletic program, and assist Hofstra’s student-athletes both on and off the field. The Hofstra Athletic program has flourished under Hayes’ leadership, winning 19 CAA Championships and making 28 postseason appearances, including 21 NCAA Tournaments, since the 2004-05 academic year. In 2009-10 four Pride teams qualified for postseason play, while in 2008-09 the Pride wrestling team won the CAA Championship for an eighth consecutive year and 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.
JACK HAYES Director of Athletics
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 for the third consecutive year in 200910. Resources generated through fund-raising efforts have been used to enhance programs and facilities available to student-athletes. Recent initiatives include the construction of baseball’s Quinn Family Grandstand and The Fried Family Student-Athlete Development Center on the second floor of the James M. Shuart Stadium Building. Other recent renovations include locker rooms, the wrestling room, athletic training rooms in Margiotta Hall and the Physical Fitness Center, the basketball media room in the Mack Sports Complex, a press box at the Hofstra Soccer Stadium, replacement of the turf at James M. Shuart Stadium and the construction of the Hofstra Field Hockey Stadium. In 2006 Hayes reintroduced the Hofstra Athletics Hall of Fame after more than a 50-year absence, inducting four classes since that time. He also led an effort to retire the uniform numbers of prominent Hofstra student-athletes with 20 jersey retirement ceremonies held during the 2008-09 academic year. Active on a national level, Hayes served on the NCAA Division I Lacrosse Committee from September 2006 to September 2008. In September 2010 he was appointed to the NCAA Leadership Council, which is an advisory body to the Division I Board of Directors.

james M. shuart stadium
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, James M. 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. James M. 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 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 James M. 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 James M. 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. 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 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. Margiotta ’50, a former Pride student-athlete and longtime 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. 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.
Margiotta Hall Weight 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. In 2010 Margiotta Hall was the recipient of a “Traditions Project” that provides a sense of history of the lacrosse programs. The walls of the second floor of Margiotta Hall contain pictures and brief text descriptions of the key moments and people in Hofstra Lacrosse history.

THE COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
C
oming off the celebration of its 25th Anniversary in 2009-10, the Colonial Athletic Association has built a reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences both athletically and academically. 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 2009-10 the CAA had more than 1,700 of the league’s 4,000 student-athletes receive the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport. The conference had 28 teams in 15 different sports receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards based on the latest Academic Progress Report released in 2010. 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 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 200910, 20 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 32 student-athletes received AllAmerica honors. The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with a leaguerecord six teams advancing to postseason play in 2009-10. Conference champion Old
Dominion made its third NCAA Tournament appearance in the last six years and knocked off Notre Dame in the first round. Northeastern and William and Mary received berths in the NIT. VCU posted five straight victories and captured the CBI championship. Hofstra also took part in the CBI and George Mason played in the CIT. 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. A league-record seven CAA women’s basketball teams advanced to postseason play in 2009-10. James Madison represented the conference in the NCAA Tournament after capturing its first CAA championship since 1989. Delaware, Drexel, Hofstra, Old Dominion and VCU participated in the WNIT, with VCU advancing to the third round. Towson took part in the WBI. ODU, which won an NCAA-record 17 straight CAA titles from 1992-2008, boasts three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and was national runner-up in 1997. 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 in two of the past three seasons and at least one men’s soccer team has advanced to the final 16 of the NCAA Championship in five of the last eight years. In men’s cross country, William & Mary placed fifth nationally as a team in 2009 and had three runners earn All-America status. In the pool, George Mason’s Ashley Danner finished as the runner-up in the 100 breaststroke at the 2010 NCAA Championship and received All-America honors along with Towson’s Meredith Budner. The CAA has sent multiple teams to the NCAA Baseball Championship in nine of the last 13 years and has had at least 12 players selected in the last eight Major League Baseball drafts. The conference also boasts numerous All-

Americans in tennis, golf, track and field, women’s lacrosse and wrestling. 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.

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 second annual Nick Colleluori Women’s Lacrosse Classic was held on September 25 at Hofstra University and the event was a success for the second straight year as it raised over $42,000 to help bring awareness for the HEADstrong Foundation and blood cancer research. There were 15 teams in this year’s event as Hofstra, Adelphi, CW Post, Bentley, Iona, La Salle, Long Island University, Stonehill, Temple, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and a pair of post-collegiate teams (New York Athletic Club and Long Island Squids) competed in the all-day tournament. Highlighting the day was a speech prior to the Hofstra versus New Hampshire game by Cheryl Colleluori talking about the HEADstrong Foundation, her son Nick and what this event means to his family. In 2009, the team hosted the inaugural Nick Colleluori Women’s Lacrosse Classic, raising $32,000. “We are very honored to host the 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 funds we raise during the event will assist in the fight against this dreaded disease.”

Mary Cuddihy
Hempstead, NY - Freshmen Jacquelyn Ardolino and Lauren Chandler scored hat tricks in their collegiate debuts, while junior Stephanie Rice also added three goals as seven Pride players netted multiple goals to lift the Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team to a season-opening 21-3 victory over St. Mary’s (CA) College at James M. Shuart Stadium. Ardolino tallied the hat trick just 14:08 into her Hofstra career. The Pride scored the second-most goals in program history, falling just short of Hofstra’s record set in a 23-5 win over Davidson in the 1996 season opener. The Gaels raced to an early lead on goals from Juliet Munroe and Mariah Walk. But Hofstra responded by going on a 19-0 run over a 38:20 stretch. The Pride built a 21-5 edge in draw controls and limited an opponent to three goals or fewer for the first time since beating Holy Cross, 17-2, in 2003. Corrine Gandolfi compiled two goals and two assists with four drawcontrols and a game-high six shots. Gandolfi, who scored 45 times in 2009, notched her 100th career goal and first of the season with 6:25 left in the first half. Gandolfi became just the 10th player in Hofstra history to reach that plateau and her milestone gave the Pride a commanding 12-2 lead. Jaclyn Pandolf made seven saves in picking up the win in her first career start. Mary Cuddihy posted five saves on six shots against in playing the entire second half. 1 2 F St. Mary’s (CA) 2 1 3 Hofstra 14 7 21 St. Mary’s Scoring: Goals: Juliet Munroe 2; Mariah Walk; Assists: None Hofstra Scoring: Goals: Jacquelyn Ardolino 3; Lauren Chandler 3; Stephanie Rice 3; Corrine Gandolfi 2; Courtney O’Connor 2; Sandy Wasserbach 2; Claire Brady; Taylor Albright; Casey Kellogg; K’Leigh Vanaman; Assists: Claire Brady 2; Corrine Gandolfi 2; Jill Maier 2; Liz Falco; Ashley Jones; Courtney O’Connor; Sandy Wasserbach
Jennalee Trombley facilitated Hofstra’s last salvo, scooping up a ground ball just before the one-minute mark.

Blaney and Scioscia both scored a pair of goals in the opening half as the Fighting Irish took a three-goal lead. But Hofstra torched Notre Dame for three goals in a 2:21 span to tie the score at seven heading into intermission. O’Connor’s unassisted goal started the rally and Liz Falco followed with an acrobatic score with 39.6 seconds left. Falco ran from behind the cage to the outside of the right post, firing a jumping shot in mid-air for her second goal of the season. Corrine Gandolfi’s tally with 5.3 seconds remaining capped the rally, firing in a short-angle shot for the tying goal before the break. Gandolfi posted a game-high six ground balls in the contest.

After Wasserbach got Hofstra going, Gandolfi knotted the score with an unassisted goal just under four minutes later before K’Leigh Vanaman tallied the eventual game-winner with 8:53 remaining to make it 11-10 in favor of the Pride. Jackie Ardolino would add an insurance goal with 3:22 left on the clock to account for the 12-10 final.

Game Five at #4 Penn:
Philadelphia, PA - Despite a game-ending 4-0 run that saw the Pride get to within 6-5 with six minutes left, the Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team was unable to complete the comeback as they fell, 6-5, to #4 Penn at Franklin Field. Hofstra was led by Corrine Gandolfi and Jill Maier, who each posted two goals in the loss. Gandolfi was solid all-around as she added a game-high three draw controls along with two caused turnovers and a team-high two ground balls. Goalie Mary Cuddihy made 10 saves, one off her careerhigh, and added three caused turnovers in the contest. It was all Penn early on as the Quakers scored the first three goals of the game and led 3-0 at the 22:33 mark following an unassisted goal from Courtney Lubbe before Gandolfi got the Pride on the board with 18:01 left in the first half. The Quakers would add to their lead to start the second stanza as three different goal scorers found the back of the net and allowed Penn to open a 6-1 advantage with 22:06 left in regulation after a goal from Giulia Giordano. At that point Gandolfi would get Hofstra rolling as the senior AllAmerican scored her second tally of the game with 21:53 left to kickstart the Pride rally. After a nearly 13-minute scoring drought for both teams, Maier would score her first of the season with 8:23 left to bring the Pride to within 6-3. Just 43 seconds later, K’Leigh Vanaman would close the gap to 6-4 with an unassisted goal before Maier shined once again and made it a one-goal game with exactly six minutes to play. That would be as close as the Pride would get, though, as Hofstra only managed one more shot the rest of the way. Hofstra #4 Penn

Game Six versus #20 Rutgers:
Hempstead, NY - Jill Maier scored off K’Leigh Vanaman’s centering pass with 2:06 left in double-overtime, lifting Hofstra to a 10-9 upset win over 20th-ranked Rutgers at rainy James M. Shuart Stadium. The Pride battled back from a 7-4 deficit in the second half to force overtime in as the Pride posted its first win over a nationally ranked opponent since a victory over then No. 20 James Madison last season. The game marked the fifth double-overtime game in program history. Trailing 7-4 at the start of the second half, Hofstra outscored the Scarlet Knights, 4-1, in the second half. Sandy Wasserbach netted the tying goal with 47 seconds off a feed from classmate Corrine Gandolfi to knot the score at 8-8. Gandolfi passed off a free position attempt and found Wasserbach at the crease for the score. Jaclyn Pandolf preserved the tie with a save on the doorstop as time expired in regulation. Rutgers opened the scoring in the first overtime as Brooke Cantwell scored on a free position shot 3:35 into the extra session. Gandolfi responded with her second goal of the game at the 2:18 mark to make it 9-9. Hofstra dominated the second overtime, peppering Rutgers keeper Lily Kalata with four shots before Maier’s game-winner. Kalata made 15 saves on the day and looked sharp coming out of the halftime break. The netminder held Hofstra scoreless for nearly 18 straight minutes and made a point-blank stick save on Stephanie Rice’s shot eight minutes into the second half.

Game summaries
But Pandolf, who relieved starter Mary Cuddihy in the first half, kept the Pride competitive out of the break, allowing Rutgers to score just once in the second half and Hofstra’s offense responded with a late rally. Hofstra senior Ashley Jones netted the opening goal of the second half, cutting Rutgers’ edge to 7-5 with 17:35 left. Almost two minutes later, Jackie Ardolino blew a shot past Kalata to make it a one-goal game, prompting Rutgers to call a time out. The respite allowed Rutgers to regroup and make it 8-6 when Stephanie Anderson teamed with sister Kristen for the Scarlet Knights’ only goal of the final half at 14:30. Gandolfi registered her team-leading 15th goal with 5:53 left, taking Vanaman’s centering pass to make it 8-7. Gandolfi didn’t score the next goal but worked to set up the opportunity when she drew the foul on Rebecca Alley in the final minute. Gandolfi then passed to Wasserbach with her free position chance and the midfielder scored her fourth goal of the season. #20 Rutgers Hofstra

The Pride quickly answered, though, as Hofstra erupted for four straight goals and led 9-5 with 1:49 left in the half following an unassisted tally from Jackie Ardolino. Stanford would take the momentum into the break, though, as the Cardinal scored twice in the final 56 seconds of the opening stanza to trail by just two, 9-7, at halftime.

Game 14 versus Delaware:
Harrisonburg, VA - Liz Falco had two goals and one assist and K’Leigh Vanaman added two goals, but it was not enough as the #16 Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team dropped a 14-8 contest to #10 James Madison at the JMU Lacrosse Complex.
Hempstead, NY - Led by three goals apiece from K’Leigh Vanaman and Jill Maier, the #16 Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team had nine different goal scorers en route to a dominating 15-6 victory over Delaware at James M. Shuart Stadium.
James Madison would get on the board first in the contest as Caitlin McHugh and Ariel Lane each tallied goals in the first six minutes to put the Dukes up 2-0 early on. Hofstra would answer shortly thereafter, and a 4-2 scoring run by the Pride would culminate with an unassisted goal from Falco with 9:59 left in the half that knotted the game at four. In addition to Falco, Hofstra got goals during the run from Corrine Gandolfi, Vanaman and Casey Kellogg.
It was all Hofstra early on as the Pride jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first 13 minutes of the contest. Hofstra would have four different goal scorers find the back of the net during the game-opening run as Vanaman got the Pride started at the 28:40 mark before Liz Falco, Courtney O’Connor and Corrine Gandolfi each added their first goals of the game to put Hofstra ahead 4-0 with 17:11 left before halftime. Morgan Marino would get the Blue Hens on the board with her 12th goal of the season at the 11:47 mark before Casey Kellogg and Vanaman each added goals in the final 9:13 of the half to allow the Pride to take a 6-1 advantage into the break.
It would be all JMU over the next 6:17, though, as the Dukes exploded for five straight goals to open a 9-4 lead after Kim Griffin found the back of the net with 3:42 left before intermission. The Pride would gain some of the momentum back to end the half as Falco scored her second goal of the first 30 minutes with five seconds left to close the gap to 9-5. Hofstra would come out of the halftime break on fire as the Pride scored three of the first four goals in the stanza to close the deficit to two, 10-8, following an unassisted tally from Stephanie Rice with 22:24 left in regulation. Down by just two goals, Hofstra would have a couple of opportunities to draw even closer but a shot from Gandolfi was saved by the Dukes goalie and a shot from Jennalee Trombley at the 20:10 mark hit the post. Lane would push the lead back to three goals at the 19:53 mark before Griffin tallied another goal with 12:50 to play to allow JMU to take a 12-8 advantage. That would prove to be enough for James Madison as the Dukes held Hofstra without a goal over the final 22-plus minutes in capturing a 14-8 decision. #16 Hofstra #10 James Madison

Towson, MD - Towson’s Nikki Marcinik scored the game-winner with 4:47 left in the second half to offset a solid game from Hofstra’s Corrine Gandolfi as the #10 Tigers defeated #16 Hofstra, 9-7, at Johnny Unitas Field. Gandolfi had two goals, one assist, three caused turnovers, two ground balls and one draw control for the Pride. The Pride also got another stellar game defensively from Katie Hertsch, who tallied five draw controls, five ground balls and two caused turnovers in the game. The ground ball and draw control totals both tied career-highs for Hertsch, who led the game in both categories as well. Hofstra would dig itself an early 3-0 deficit in the game as Hillary Fratzke scored twice and Jacie Kendall added a goal to put the Tigers up 3-0 with 13:24 to play before intermission. The Pride would almost immediately answer as Gandolfi scored her first of the game and 41st of the season just 30 seconds later to get Hofstra on the board. Gandolfi’s tally would start a string of five straight goals for Hofstra, all from five different players as the Pride would lead 5-3 after a free-position goal from Stephanie Rice with 4:58 left in the opening stanza. Casey Kellogg, K’Leigh Vanaman and Jill Maier would add the other goals during the run to help put the Pride in the lead. A goal from Kendall with 1:31 to play would close the gap to 5-4 and Hofstra would take that advantage into the break. A back and forth beginning to the second half would see the two teams combine for just three goals over the first 20 minutes as Towson knotted the score at six with a goal from Jess Dunn at the 10:29 mark of the second half. Hofstra did have a two-goal advantage early in the second half as Sandy Wasserbach scored an unassisted goal with 28:56 left to put the Pride ahead 6-4. Towson would continue its run as Fratzke notched a free-position goal with 9:35 left in regulation to give Towson its first lead since the Tigers were up 3-2 with just over seven minutes left in the first half. Gandolfi would answer less than 30 seconds later to tie the score at seven as she scored her second of the game. The game would be scoreless for the next four-plus minutes until Marcinik put the Tigers up for good at the 4:47 mark. Hofstra would have one final great chance to even the score, but a point-blank shot from Wasserbach with 52 ticks left on the clock was saved by Mary Teeters to preserve the Towson win. Katie Cloud would add a goal with 10 seconds left to account for the final margin of victory.

Game 16 at Drexel:
Philadelphia, PA - In its final tune-up before next week’s Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Championship, the #16 Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team put together an impressive effort in defeating longtime rival Drexel, 19-7, at Vidas Field. Corrine Gandolfi, who had four goals and two assists, went over the 200-point plateau for her career midway through the opening stanza. She became just the fourth player in program history to reach 200 career points and the first since Kim Hillier (215 from 2003-07). The first half saw Hofstra have seven different goal scorers as the Pride used a 5-0 scoring run to break a one-all tie and lead 6-1 after a goal from Gandolfi with 16:34 left in the opening stanza. A goal from Drexel’s Becca Drylie-Perkins ended the run before Hofstra outscored the Dragons, 6-2, over the final 13:31 of the half to take a 12-4 lead into the break. Hofstra would score the first two goals of the second half, both coming off the stick of Liz Falco, to open up a ten-goal advantage at 14-4. Three straight goals from Drexel would close the gap to 14-7 at the 12:56 mark before Ashley Jones started a game-ending 5-0 run for the Pride as Hofstra cruised to the 12-goal victory. Hofstra, which had an 18-9 advantage in draw controls, got three apiece from Gandolfi, Katie Hertsch and Sandy Wasserbach. Bryana Borrelli had three ground balls and two draw controls for the Pride. Mary Cuddihy earned the win in net for the Pride, making four saves in the first 25:43 of the contest. #16 Hofstra Drexel

Game 17 versus #8 Towson (CAA Semifinals):
Harrisonburg, VA - Liz Falco scored four first half goals and Corrine Gandolfi added one goal and three assists as the #16 Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team advanced to the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Championship game with a thrilling 9-8 victory over #8 Towson at the JMU Lacrosse Complex. The win was Hofstra’s first top ten victory since beating then-#8 James Madison, 12-9, on April 27, 2007. Hofstra, the number three seed in the tournament, never trailed in the contest and broke an eight-all tie with 13:11 left before both team’s defenses clamped down in the final minutes. In the game’s final minutes, a Towson free-position shot was blocked and then in the waning moments of the contest, Jaclyn Pandolf make a point-blank save on Towson’s Jackie LaMonica to preserve the victory. The Pride’s defense would stop one of the more impressive streaks in lacrosse history as well tonight as Towson senior Hillary Fratzke, the CAA Player of the Year, was held scoreless in the contest. Fratzke came
2011 H o f s t r a W o m e n ’ s L a c r o s s e
into the game having scored a point in every contest during her 70-game career and had scored a goal in 64 straight games as well. Hofstra dominated in nearly all facets of the game in the first half as they led 7-2 after 30 minutes of play behind the stellar play of Falco. Hofstra, which trailed 3-0 to open the earlier match-up this season between the teams, turned the tables on the Tigers tonight as they led 3-0 after 10plus minutes of action. Falco got the Pride started in the contest as she scored the first two goals of the game, while Ashley Jones added the third tally for Hofstra. Towson would regroup from the early deficit and back-to-back goals from Jess Dunn and Jacie Kendall cut the deficit to 3-2 with 16:13 to play in the opening stanza. It would be all Hofstra from that point the remainder of the half as Stephanie Rice got Hofstra started on a half-ending 4-0 run with a goal off an assist from Claire Brady with 10:57 left. The two teams would be scoreless for over eight minutes until Gandolfi notched her lone goal of the game with 2:56 left to put Hofstra up 5-2. Falco then closed the half in spectacular fashion as she recorded two goals in the final 1:01 of the half to allow the Pride to lead 7-2 at the break. Her four goals in the first half tied her career-high and gave her the fifth hat trick of her season. Hofstra was stellar on defense in the first half as they forced Towson into 13 turnovers, while only committing seven of their own. Bryana Borrelli and Gandolfi led the defensive charge with two caused turnovers apiece. Towson would rally to start the second half as the Tigers outscored the Pride, 6-1, over the first 15:48 of the half to knot the score at eight after a goal from Nikki Marcinik. Hofstra would finally end the run as Jill Maier found the back of the net for the first time in the contest with 13:11 to play in regulation to put the Pride back in the lead at 9-8. That would end up being the game-winner as Hofstra put the finishing touches on a strong defensive effort in the contest in holding Towson to just eight goals. It was Towson’s fewest goals scored in a game this season. Rice finished with a goal and an assist for the Pride, which got two goals from Ashley Jones and two assists from Brady. Pandolf earned her third win of the season as she made two saves in 14:12, while Mary Cuddihy stopped 10 shots in 45:48. Gandolfi added a game-high three caused turnovers and two draw controls, while Borrelli had two ground balls, two draw controls and two caused turnovers. #16 Hofstra #8 Towson

Game 18 at #7 James Madison (CAA Finals):
Harrisonburg, VA - Ariel Lane and Mary Kate Lomady each scored three goals to lead #7 James Madison to a 10-6 victory over #16 Hofstra in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Championship game at the JMU Lacrosse Complex. Hofstra got two goals apiece from Corrine Gandolfi and Jill Maier. James Madison would get the scoring started in the contest as Lane scored at the 26:23 mark to put the Dukes up 1-0. JMU would add to its lead as Lomady and Annie Brophy each found the back of the next as the half progressed to allow James Madison to lead 3-0 with 12:47 remaining in the opening stanza. After a timeout by the Pride, junior defender Jennalee Trombley got Hofstra on the board with a free-position goal before Lomady put the Dukes back up three goals with a free-position goal of her own at the 11:20 mark. Hofstra would rally, though, as back-to-back unassisted goals from Casey Kellogg and Gandolfi made the score 4-3 James Madison with 5:05 to play before intermission. The home squad would expand on its lead into the break as the Dukes scored the final two goals of the half and led 6-3 heading into the second stanza. James Madison had a huge advantage in shots in the first half as they outshot the Pride, 17-7, while forcing Hofstra into 10 turnovers. Lane would open the scoring in the second half with a free-position goal at the 28:54 mark to put JMU up 7-3 before Hofstra scored two of the next three goals to cut the deficit to 8-5 with 21:31 to play. Maier would score both goals during the quick spurt that was ended with another goal from Lane, off an assist from Kim Griffin with 14:55 left to put JMU up 9-5. Gandolfi would close the gap to 9-6 with a goal at the 5:26 mark, but JMU would add a late goal to earn the 10-6 victory. #16 Hofstra #7 James Madison
