ROB ANSPACH
R
ob Anspach, who became the 11th head wrestling coach in Hofstra history on March 25, 2011, is in his third season as in charge of the Pride and his 12th year on the Hofstra staff in 2013-14. He replaced Tom Shifflet as head coach after serving as an assistant under Shifflet for five seasons, including three as associate head coach.
H
His tenure on the Pride coaching staff, which began in 200102, has resulted in a 130-76-6 dual meet record, 10 conference championships and 39 league champions. A total of 72 wrestlers have reached the NCAA Championships during his 11 years on staff including 15 that earned All-America honors. In his first season as head wrestling coach in 2011-12, Anspach became the first Hofstra wrestling coach in school history to win his first 10 dual matches. The Pride’s 12-3 mark and .800 winning percentage is the best winning average for a first-year coach in program history. Hofstra also captured the Colonial Athletic Association team championship, sent six wrestlers to the NCAA Championships and had two, Justin Accordino (6th) and Steve Bonanno (8th) earn All-America honors. Last season, against a schedule that featured 11 top 25 teams, the Pride struggled early in the season before rallying to win the
final CAA team title and sending three wrestlers to the NCAA Championships in Des Moines. For his efforts, Anspach was named the CAA Coach of the Year. “I am truly grateful to Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz for this opportunity and the confidence they have expressed in me to lead the Pride Wrestling program,” Anspach said at the time of his hiring. “I am excited about the challenges that lie ahead and I feel I have the ability to continue leading Hofstra in the right direction. I would also like to thank both Tom Shifflet and Tom Ryan, both mentors and friends, for helping me get to this day.” As a student-athlete, Anspach compiled a 69-51 record and made two trips to the NCAA Championships during his fiveyear career at Hofstra. As a freshman in 1996-97 he recorded a 20-13 record, placed third in the ECWA Championships, and was named to the ECWA AllFreshman Team at 158 pounds. A year later, he posted an 18-12 mark, placed third again in the ECWA Championships and captured the New York State Championships title at 167 pounds. After red-shirting in 1998-99, Anspach recorded his best collegiate season with a 20-15 mark and captured the ECWA title at 174 pounds to earn his first NCAA Championship bid.

He also captured the title at the Congressional Cup in Washington, D.C., and placed second at the New York State Championships. As a senior in 2000-01 Anspach posted an 11-11 record, finished second at the ECWA Championships and earned a wildcard selection to the NCAA Championships. That season he also won his weight class at the Bearcat Open, compiling a perfect 4-0 record. Anspach is a 2001 Hofstra alumnus with a degree in American studies, The Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, native and his wife, Alexandra, are the proud parents of a son, Griffin (1). The Anspach family lives on Long Island.

A University of Wisconsin graduate, Tanelli placed fourth at the 2009 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in St. Louis, Missouri. The Short Hills, New Jersey, native recorded a 6-2 record, including five straight victories, in the National Championships to earn his first All-America honor. Tanelli, who was the top-ranked wrestler at 141 pounds for eight weeks through the conference tournament, placed second in the Big 10 Championships. The 2008 Midlands champion finished the year with a 31-6 record, including a 15-1 mark in duals and a 7-0 record in the Big 10 and ranked second in the country. Tanelli earned his first NCAA Championship bid in 2007 as a wildcard after placing eighth in the Big Ten Championships. He recorded a 21-10 overall record including a 19-3 mark in dual matches and a 5-3 record in the Big 10. Tanelli also led the Badgers in dual points with 80. As a junior in 2007-08, he earned his second NCAA Championship bid by finishing fifth in the Big 10 Championships. Tanelli posted a 3-2 record at Nationals to finish the season with a 28-12 record including a 13-5 mark in duals and a 5-3 record in conference action.
A two-time New Jersey State Championship runner-up out of Millburn High School, Tanelli notched an 8-3 record and captured the Pointer Open title as a red-shirt freshman at Wisconsin in 2005-06. During his four-year career at Wisconsin, Tanelli posted an 88-31 overall record including a 49-10 mark in duals and a 17-6 record in the Big 10. Tanelli, who holds a degree in sociology from Wisconsin, earned a master’s degree in educational leadership and policy studies from Hofstra in 2013.

Vallimont, who graduated from Penn State in 2010 with a degree in architectural engineering, was a two-time New Jersey State High School champion at Jefferson Township High School in Oak Ridge, New Jersey. A three-year team captain and a four-year member of the National Honor Society, he posted a 134-9 career record in high school.
hree-time NCAA qualifier and Hofstra alumnus Ryan Patrovich is in his second season as an assistant coach on the Pride Wrestling staff in 2013-14.

ob Anspach begins his third season as Hofstra head wrestling coach and his 12th year on the Pride coaching staff with a renewed sense of excitement and a new set of challenges for the 2013-14 season. Last year while facing, quite possibly, the toughest schedule in school wrestling history that featured 11 top 25 opponents, the Pride scuffled through the dual meet schedule always with the CAA and NCAA Championship Tournaments at the end of the season in mind. After a 6-15 regular season including a 4-2 slate in the CAA, the Pride recorded their 11th Colonial Athletic Association title in the past 12 years.
H
Two Hofstra grapplers, senior Steve Bonanno and junior Jamie Franco, took home CAA championships at 125 and 133 pounds, respectively. In addition, junior Luke Vaith, who placed third at the CAA Championships at 141 pounds, joined Bonanno and Franco at the NCAA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa. Anspach was named the CAA Coach of the Year and Bonanno, a four-time NCAA qualifier and two-time CAA champion, earned a plethora of academic honors including the CAA Wrestling Scholar-Athlete of the Year and the Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America first team to go with his 103 career victories. The end of last season also brought the end of the CAA’s sponsorship of wrestling as Hofstra was happy to be accepted, along with Binghamton, Drexel and Boston University, by the oldest and largest Division I wrestling conference in the country, the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA). The Pride will now be banging headgear with perennial powers Cornell, Lehigh, Penn, American and 12 “new” conference opponents in a league that is considerably tougher than the CAA. “We are excited about joining the EIWA,” Anspach said. “It’s a great challenge for us and it will make us a better program, it will make us better coaches and will provide a better atmosphere for home matches. It couldn’t have been a more positive move for us to join the EIWA.” After losing six wrestlers, including four starters to graduation, Anspach still has 17 returnees and six starters dotting his roster in 2013-14. As in years past, some weight classes will have depth while others will have the Pride staff hoping for an injury-free season. The addition of a couple of key transfers will certainly aid the Hofstra cause in the EIWA. “I am excited about this team,” Anspach says.”I think we have many weight classes where we can be very competitive and be challenging for All-America honors. The team has worked hard in the off-season, through the summer and into the preseason,” Anspach said. “They look
JAMIE FRANCO
good, they are healthy and they are eager to wrestle. I believe this team is capable of putting up some big wins this year.”
125 The graduation of four-time NCAA qualifier, two-time CAA champion and Academic All-American Steve Bonanno left a big hole, albeit for a short time, in the Pride line-up. But senior Jamie Franco (Monroe, NY), a two-time NCAA qualifier and 2013 conference champion, was more than happy to drop down to a weight class that is more suited for his stature. Franco posted a 19-15 mark at 133 last season on his way to his first league title. “Jamie did a great job for us the past two years, by adding body mass to wrestle at 133 pounds, Anspach stated. “But in reality, he is a 125-pounder. With Steve (Bonanno) having graduated, Jamie has done a great job of shrinking his body to return to a more natural 125 pounds for him this season. Jamie has been out to nationals twice and is a great leader. He has a great work ethic, leads by example and shows our younger wrestlers how to be successful. We are expecting great things from him this season. He should find a lot more success at 125 pounds.” While Anspach has a solid returning starter at 125, albeit from another weight class, he also has two solid newcomers as back-ups and for the future. Kyle Krasavage (Larksville, PA), who recorded a 13418 career record and placed fourth at the 2013 Pennsylvania State Championships from Wyoming Valley High School, and Michael May (Clearwater, FL), a two-time Florida State Championship qualifier who posted a 136-48 career mark at Palm Harbor University High School, will be waiting for their shot.
133 With Franco’s dropping down to 125, the 133-pound weight class is up for grabs with red-shirt freshman Jamel Hudson (Bay Shore, NY) the front-runner for the starting job. The 2012 New York State champion and New York Wrestler of the Year out of St. Anthony’s High School got his taste of college wrestling in open tournaments at 141 last season, posting a 7-4 record. Anspach hopes that the multi-talented Hudson, who is a professional entertainer away from the mat, will be thrilling Pride fans for the next four years. “Jamel had a great red-shirt year in 2012-13 and followed that up by placing sixth at the FILA Juniors and third at the University Nationals last spring,” Anspach commented. “He continued to work hard throughout the summer and we expect great things from Jamel in the future. But first he has to win the starting spot.” Another red-shirt freshman, Maverick Passaro (Manorville, NY), a transfer from Rutgers University, will be pushing Hudson at 133. A 2012 New York State champion at 126 pounds, Passaro recorded a 155-24 career mark at Eastport South Manor High School and was a Super 32 All-American. “Maverick has a great upside to his wrestling, Anspach said. “He has done a great job every day in the wrestling room and each day he seems to get better. That is all you can ask for. It’s a nice comfort level of having two solid wrestlers battling for the starting job.”
141 Senior Luke Vaith (Hastings, MN) returns for his final season for the Pride in 2013-14. The two-time NCAA qualifier and 2012 conference champion, has posted consecutive 22-plus win seasons the past two years and has the talent and dedication to make it to the All-American podium in March. Last year, he tallied a 22-14 slate and placed third in

2013-14 OU TLOOK and 149. But once he got settled at 149 he seemed to get better with every match. Cody continued to work hard throughout the offseason and made some big improvements in preparation for the 2013-14 season.” LUKE VAITH
Pushing Ruggirello will be junior transfer Cam Tessari (Monroeville, OH). The 2012 NCAA All-American at Ohio State placed fourth in the NCAA Championships at 149, after finishing fifth in the Big 10 as a freshman. After a 28-11 mark as a freshman, Tessari posted a 13-7 mark for the Buckeyes last year but was suspended for the Big 10 and NCAA Championships. His return to his freshman form, when he become eligible for the second semester, could be a key to Hofstra’s success.
the CAA Championship. Vaith, who has wrestled 126 matches during his career, has been quite durable during his Hofstra tenure which should make this weight class worry-free for the Pride staff.
“Cam had some outstanding success at Ohio State and we are looking for the same her at Hofstra,” Anspach stated. “He is an outstanding wrestler and we are looking forward to an exciting wrestle-off in January between Cody and Cam.”
“We have been waiting for Luke to get to the All-American podium that past two years but it just hasn’t happened for him yet,” Anspach stated. “I see a big difference in him the way he is going about his work this season. Everything about him says that he is ready to have that year where people will be watching out for him. While he has defeated some ranked wrestlers in the past, he has put in the work during the off-season to win on a more consistent basis. We think he is ready to take that next step.”
Three more red-shirt freshmen, Jahlani Callender (North Lauderdale, FL), Cory Goshkagarian (Somerset, NJ) and Sam Schwartzapfel (Smithtown, NY) will be pushing for time where available. Callender, a three-time Florida High School Championships place-winner from Calvary Christian Academy, posted an 8-7 record in open tournaments last year. Goshkagarian, a regional champ and two-time district winner from Franklin High School, was 2-5 in open tournaments a year ago.
Red-shirt freshman Alex Mirante (Moraga, CA) returns for his second season with the Pride in 2013-14 and will back-up Vaith. The 2012 league champion from Campolindo High School missed the entire 2012-13 season with an injury but is fit and ready to mix it up this year.
NICK TERDICK
149 The 149-pound weight class, along with the 157-pound weight class, has the most depth of any class for Hofstra this season. Red-shirt junior Cody Ruggirello (Walden, NY) returns after starting in both classes last year, beginning at 157 before taking over for Matt Spataro at midseason. Ruggirello, who has battled injuries during his first two years, posted a 6-16 slate, including a 6-13 mark at 149, in 2012-13. More importantly, his injury-free season and steady improvement over the year, culminating with a third-place finish in the CAA Championships, were key to the Pride’s title run and gives a great deal of promise for the future. “Cody will be our starter to open the season,” Anspach revealed. “He really came on late near the end of the year. I think part of his early struggles was the staff’s fault as we moved him around between 157
CODY RUGGIRELLO
Schwartapfel, an All-Suffolk County selection at Hauppauge High School, was 3-2 in opens while wrestling at 157.
157 The graduation of Tyler Banks, who placed third in the CAA Championships last year leaves the 157-pound class open for redshirt junior Nick Terdick (East Northport, NY) to drop back to a more suitable weight class. After starting in 30 matches and winning seven at 165 last season, he, too, showed marked improvement nearing the end of the year and placed fourth in the CAA Championships. A move down a weight class could solidify a deep weight class. “Moving Nick down to 157 pounds seems like the right weight class for him,” Anspach says.”He was another one of our guys who seemed to get better with every match and had a good conference tournament. Nick looks like a different person this season. He has worked hard during the off-season, on the mat and in the weight room. He needed to get stronger and spent the summer training and lifting with Luke Vaith. His wrestling has improved, he is stronger and we will be counting on him to win some matches.”

2013-14 OU TLOOK Pushing Terdick will be three returnees in red-shirt junior Russ Benner (Roselle Park, NJ), sophomore Jay Lysne (Lakeview, OR) and red-shirt freshman Michael Caputo (Stony Point, NY). Benner, a 2012 transfer from Appalachian State, posted a 7-6 record I open tournaments at both 157 and 165 pounds last season. Lysne, who was expected to red-shirt last season, was inserted into the line-up at 157 after an early season injury to Banks and tallied a 5-12 mark including one match at 165. Caputo posted a 3-7 mark in open tournaments as a true freshman in 2012-13.
line-up at 174, 184 and 197, John could face some stiff challenges from both junior David Heitman (Mahwah, NJ) and sophomore Victor Pozsonyi (Roselle Park, NJ), who both had good off-seasons. Heitman wrestled in three open tournament matches at 174 and three dual matches at 184 last season. Pozsonyi wrestled in eight matches at 184 and five at 197 and will be looking to erase a 1-12 season at a more suitable weight class. It is quite conceivable that the back-ups in this class could be wrestling up a class or two this year.
165
After the graduation of starting 184-pounder Taras Luzhnyy, and having the least depth of any weight class this season, the Pride staff is quite happy to have freshman and 2011 commitment Dwight Howes (Denver, CO) arrive on Long Island after a year at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. The two-time Colorado State champion who posted a 155-7 record during his scholastic career at Arvada High School, was 46-0 as a senior and 42-0 as a junior. Howes prepped for his arrival on the college circuit by placing third in freestyle at the Fila Junior Nationals in 2012 and 2013. Howes durability will be a key to the Pride’s success in 2013-14.
The arrival of graduate-student and former Drexel standout Joe Booth (Bayville, NY) gives the Pride talent, experience and leadership at 165-pounds. The three-time NCAA qualifier for the Dragons posted a 71-26 record but sat-out his senior season with an injury last season. The Long Island native, who provided many exciting moments as a Pride opponent, comes home to close out his career and pursue an MBA degree.

“Joe has been a great addition to the team,” Anspach said. “He comes here with a great deal of experience and maturity. Joe has become a team leader with his work ethic. He works hard and expects a lot out of his himself. Joe was a huge pick-up for us in the offseason to fill our need at 165.” Red-shirt freshman Frank Affronti (Ontario, NY), who placed third in the 2012 New York State High School Championships, posted a 4-1 slate in open tournaments last season and will back-up Booth and possibly push for time at 174.
174 Junior Jermaine John (Brooklyn, NY), who had a breakout season in 2012-13 is expected to return to a starting role at 174 but will not go uncontested. The two-year starter in this weight class bounced back from a 9-17, baptism-by-fire season as a true freshman in 2011-12 to record a 19-13 slate and place second in the CAA last year. His continued dedication and hard-work could secure a spot for him in the Pride line-up for the next two seasons. “Jermaine is a guy who keeps on getting better,” Anspach said. “He showed great improvement from his freshman year to his sophomore season and just missed out getting a wild-card berth to the NCAAs last year. He really is still learning how to wrestle here and has done a great job. But we have some guys who will push him. We have some depth here so, knowing what Jermaine was able to do last year, if he doesn’t win the spot I feel comfortable that whoever does win the spot will represent us well” But while the Pride staff shuffles the line-up to provide a more optimal JERMAINE JOHN
184
“Dwight had a great deferment year where he won the Junior Pan Am Games in South America,” Anspach said. “He competed in some tough tournaments and had some great wins. Dwight is a freshman but he has been wrestling with some of the best guys in the country over the past year. So we are expecting a lot from him right out of the gate this year.”
197 The 197-pound weight class has been a troublesome division for the Pride in recent years. Hofstra has competed with undersized wrestlers at this weight class since their last NCAA qualifier at 197 in 2009. Last year, Pride starters combined to post a 5-24 mark at 197. The staff hopes that red-shirt junior “tweener” Zeal McGew (Glenville, NY) will drop down and take over this weight class. McGrew, who has been an undersized heavyweight, posted a 16-9 record at 285, including a 1-4 mark in dual matches, while filling in for the injured Paul Snyder at the end of the season. The three-time New York State High School placewinner, including a second-place finish as a senior heavyweight and a third-place finish at 215 as a junior, could be a big key for the Pride if his move is successful. “Zeal has definitely been a light-heavyweight for us the past three years,” Anspach stated. “He can make 197 and his weight is steadily coming off. He has wrestled a lot during his time here and can give us some much needed experience in this weight class”
285 Last year, in the midst of the finest season of his career, Paul Snyder suffered a knee injury and was lost for the final month of the season. After the departure of a red-shirt freshman at the start of the preseason and a possible move by Zale McGrew to 197-pounds, true freshman Michael Hughes (Smithtown, NY) looks to be the start at 285 in 2013-14. The 2013 New York State High School champion was 42-0 as a senior and posted a 109-9 career record at Smithtown West High School. While still slightly underweight for a heavyweight, Hughes certainly has the size to be successful in his weight class in the future. “We are excited about adding Mike to our line-up,” Anspach said. “He had a dominant senior season and went down to the High School Nationals and took second. We think he is still growing into his body, which is scary at 6’4 and 240. He has all the tools necessary to be a very good heavyweight. He needs to get better on the mat. But physically, he is right there with the rest of the weight class.”

THIS IS HOFS TRA UNI VERSI TY

ofstra University provides a dynamic college experience tailored for engaged and ambitious individuals. Students find pride and purpose at Hofstra, through small classes, a faculty whose primary concern is teaching, cutting edge technology, extensive library resources, internships, and active and compelling 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 78-year 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.
H
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 all 50 states and 66 countries around the world. The beautiful campus is an accredited arboretum with 115 buildings on 240 acres. There are approximately 3,800 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. While the campus and its offerings have changed, what has remained consistent throughout the years 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, Honors College, Frank G. Zarb School of Business, Lawrence Herbert School of Communication, School of Education, School of Engineering and Applied Science, School of Health Sciences and Human Services, Maurice A. Deane School of Law, Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University, School for University Studies and Hofstra University Continuing Education. Hofstra offers six undergraduate degrees in 140 different areas of study. Eleven graduate degrees are also offered with approximately 150 programs of study to choose from. The University offers three first professional degrees and 14 dual degrees as well. Hofstra joined with North Shore-LIJ Health System in establishing a medical school on the University campus in October 2007. The new school, which welcomed its first class in July 2011, is the first allopathic (MD) medical school in Nassau County and the first in New York State since 1963. On October 16, 2012, Hofstra hosted its second Presidential Debate, held in the “town hall” format, between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Hofstra also hosted the third and final presidential debate of the 2008 election cycle, between then Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain, on October 15, 2008. The debate 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 first 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 – followed by Define ’09, which looked at the first year of the Obama presidency.
The University continues to host important political events, such as the New York State Gubernatorial Debate in 2010 and a visit from Newark, NJ, Mayor Cory Booker to kick of the Debate 2012 - Pride, Politics & Policy program. Hofstra opened its School of Engineering and Applied Science in September 2012. The new school features a co-op education program that will partner with a network of industry leaders to offer students substantial work experience before they graduate. The School of Engineering and Applied Science will combine and expand the University’s existing Engineering and Computer Science departments to develop a curriculum that emphasizes high-tech research, practical work experience and inter-disciplinary study, integrating resources and faculty from other parts of the institution, including the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine and the Frank G.

JEFFREY A. HAT HAWAY
VICE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF ATHLE TICS at the school from 1990 to 2001. In his two years away from the Storrs campus, Hathaway enjoyed a successful tenure as the director of athletics at Colorado State University from 2001 to 2003. During Hathaway’s career, he has always made the academic success of student-athletes a top priority. In the classroom, more than 50% of UConn’s 650 student-athletes achieved a 3.0 “B-or better” semester grade point average during the spring and/or fall semesters of the 2010 calendar year, including 16 who earned a perfect 4.0 grade point average. In addition, the Division of Athletics consistently maintained a 99 percent academic retention rate among its student-athletes.
H J
effrey A. Hathaway is entering his second year as the Vice President and Director of Athletics at Hofstra University in 2013-14.
Hathaway, formerly the Director of Athletics at the University of Connecticut and the chairman of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, was introduced by Hofstra University President Stuart Rabinowitz on May 15, 2012. “In collegiate athletics, the name Jeff Hathaway means success on any number of levels: in the classroom, on the playing field, in the boardroom, with donors and the media. Most importantly, Jeff’s focus on excellence, ethics, leadership and academics will allow the Hofstra Pride athletics program to move to the next level of excellence,” said Rabinowitz. “His tenure at the University of Connecticut was one of unprecedented growth, and under his leadership, we look forward to ushering in a new era of Hofstra Pride athletic success.” “I am excited to join the Hofstra University community and to have the opportunity to provide leadership and serve the studentathletes, coaches and staff in this outstanding athletics program,” commented Hathaway at his introductory press conference. “I particularly would like to thank President Stuart Rabinowitz for allowing me to become part of the Hofstra University family. Throughout my career I have been part of programs that have competed against Hofstra and I have seen firsthand the success the Pride has had over the years. My primary focus will be on the academic achievement of our student-athletes and providing them the opportunity to participate and achieve in
their academic and athletic endeavors as we prepare them for their lives after graduation from Hofstra.” In his first year at Hofstra, Hathaway oversaw a department that produced four Colonial Athletic Association championship and NCAA Tournament teams, as well as two other teams that reached the conference championship game. In addition, Hofstra Athletics saw three student-athletes earn Academic All-America accolades and five garner CAA ScholarAthlete of the Year honors. On of those Academic All-Americans, Joe Burg, also was a finalist for a Rhodes Scholarship in 2012, becoming just the second Hofstra student to ever earn the distinction. The Pride not only flourished on the fields and in the classroom, but also in the area of athletic development. The Hofstra Pride Club enjoyed a banner year with $1.1 million in cash funds raised, a 13% increase over 201112, and a 16% increase in annual funds. In 2013 Hathaway was named to the NCAA Division I Leadership Council, continuing his long tradition of service on a national level. Hathaway guided the University of Connecticut (UConn) Division of Athletics through an unprecedented period of academic and athletic achievement during his eight years as director of athletics from 2003 to 2011. At the same time, he became an influential leader for college athletics on both the national and conference level. Hathaway played a vital role in UConn’s success story for nearly 20 years as he was the executive associate director of athletics
The University of Connecticut was saluted for its community service efforts by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS) three times under Hathaway’s watch for its community service efforts. UConn was also honored by the NCAS in 2006 and 2007 for its efforts to assist former student-athletes in earning their college degree. Hathaway’s leadership positions have extended beyond the campus. He recently completed a five-year term as a member of the prestigious NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, representing the BIG EAST Conference, serving as chair in 201112. As a member of the 10-person committee, Hathaway took part in the selection and administration of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship and the administration of the CBS/Turner television contract. During his tenure at both Colorado State and UConn, he was a member of the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet. On the conference level, Hathaway was the chair of the BIG EAST Athletic Directors Executive Committee through November of 2009. He is also past chairman of the BIG EAST Championship and Competition Committee as well as the league’s Finance Committee, and also served on the Television Committee. Hathaway is a past member of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association Board of Trustees and the Executive Committee of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). In 2004 The Sporting News named Hathaway to its “Power 100 List” - comprised of the 100 most powerful people in sports. During his time at the University of Connecticut, private fundraising averaged more than $13 million a year. Hathaway was also responsible negotiating several key

Hathaway led a head coaching staff that is one of the most experienced in the country. At the conclusion of Hathaway’s tenure, UConn had 12 head coaches that had been in their current position 10 or more years as of the 2010-11 academic year.
PHILIP E. AUSTIN, President Emeritus, University of Connecticut “I had the pleasure of working with Jeff Hathaway through my tenure as president of the University of Connecticut. He was a valuable member of our senior leadership team and led the athletic program to its most successful era. Jeff is committed to not only athletic excellence but also academic excellence, integrity and the overall welfare of student athletes.”
In Hathaway’s final year with UConn, the Huskies experienced great athletic success. The men’s basketball team won its third NCAA Division I Championship while the football team played in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. In addition, the women’s basketball team played in the NCAA Final Four for the fourth consecutive season and set a college basketball record for most consecutive wins with 90. The UConn baseball team made history with its first-ever appearance in NCAA Super Regional play. The men’s soccer, women’s soccer and field hockey teams participated in NCAA tournaments while representatives from men’s and women’s track and field and women’s diving also took part in NCAA action.
JOSEPH R. CASTIGLIONE, Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics, University of Oklahoma “From our days in college to the many years as colleagues in the profession, I have always known Jeff Hathaway to be a man of character. He has a tenacious work ethic, an innate ability to establish the right vision, mission and values for the organization he leads and a collaborative style to appropriately involve all stakeholders in the process of setting goals and creating the means to achieve them. At the heart of it all is a passionate commitment to creating the best possible environment for student athlete success. Hofstra University made a wonderful decision in hiring Jeff.”
Hathaway originally came to Connecticut in November of 1990 as senior associate athletic director. In that role, he oversaw the day-to-day operations of the Division of Athletics and served as a program administrator for several sports. During Hathaway’s tenure at Colorado State, he oversaw a 15-sport program – nine women’s teams and six men’s. Hathaway was an extremely successful fundraiser during his time in Fort Collins. The school drew national attention for a $15.2 million gift for football stadium renovations and expansion. Prior to joining UConn, Hathaway served in a number of capacities at his alma mater, the University of Maryland, from 1982 to 1990, including assistant athletics director for marketing and communications, acting assistant athletics director for business affairs, athletics business manager and men’s basketball trainer. Hathaway earned his degree in athletic administration from Maryland in 1981. He later received a master’s degree in general administration from Maryland and is currently continuing work on a PhD in the Department of Educational Leadership at the University of Connecticut. Hathaway and his wife, Paula, have two children – Meghan (22) and Michael (18).
JEFFREY A. HAT HAWAY
MARK EMMERT, President, National Collegiate Athletic Association “Jeff did a tremendous job as a member and later chair of the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee. His efforts directly contributed to lifelong experiences for thousands of student-athletes. I’m confident that he will bring the same dedication and passion to the athletic program and the student-athletes of Hofstra.” JIM NANTZ, CBS Sports “I have known Jeff Hathaway a long time and there is no one I respect more in college athletics than Jeff Hathaway. This is a big day for Hofstra University and the future of Hofstra has been placed in good hands. Jeff is a high-achieving, high-quality person that I have gotten to know well during his tenure as the Chair of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee. Jeff’s success as a leader speaks for itself. He has the Midas touch!” MIKE SLIVE, Commissioner, Southeastern Conference “I have known Jeff Hathaway for many years and had the pleasure of serving with him on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee. Jeff’s extensive experience, his enthusiasm and his energy makes him a leader no matter what room he is in. His commitment to assisting young men and women in getting an education while participating in college sports make him an outstanding choice as Hofstra’s new athletics director.” MIKE TRANGHESE, former Commissioner, Big East Conference “Jeff is an outstanding administrator who will provide Hofstra with great leadership in the future. He has long been a leader in collegiate athletics and Hofstra will do well with Jeff at the helm. ” TOM YEAGER, Commissioner, Colonial Athletic Association “Jeff Hathaway is one of the brightest, creative and competent administrators in college athletics. Everyone in the CAA is excited about his joining our team and we look forward to his contribution to the continued success of the Hofstra program and the CAA.” KEVIN WHITE, Vice President/Director of Athletics, Duke University “Hofstra literally hit the proverbial lottery! Hiring Jeff Hathaway as vice president and director of athletics – a highly seasoned athletic director who is clearly one of the most skilled and talented administrators within the NCAA – is nothing short of an immeasurable leadership acquisition!”

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.
H
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 up to three courses. They are also able to utilize the various help labs on campus, which specialize in providing assistance in writing, business and QM, and biology and chemistry. In addition to this service, student-athletes are assigned an academic advisor, through the Center for University Advisement, 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 advisor 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. The academic advisor serves as the primary advisor for first-year and undecided studentathletes, and also assists upperclassmen who have declared a major. Area three is academic monitoring. The advisor monitors the academic progress of student‑athletes to ensure compliance with Hofstra University, NCAA and conference regulations. The advisor’s regular communication with the faculty and coaches provide opportunities for early intervention should academic difficulties arise. Area four is study halls. The University Tutorial Program supports athletic study halls by providing tutors in various subjects as necessary. The academic advisors also assess the needs of individual student‑athletes to provide the most effective study environment. The assessment tool administered by the Center for University Advisement 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 2010 The Fried Family Student-Athlete Development Center was opened on the second level of the James M. Shuart Stadium Building. The center houses the offices of the Student-Athlete Services Staff, as well as a large computer lab with printer access for use by Hofstra student-athletes, a quiet study area with wireless internet access and two group study/tutor rooms with power point access and white boards.

T HIS IS T HE EI WA
T
he Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association, simply known as the EIWA, is both the largest and oldest wrestling league in the country. This season’s championships mark the 110th time the EIWA has held this prestigious event. Hofstra, which has enjoyed a dominant 12-year tenure in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) for wrestling, winning 11 conference championships including the last two, will be joining the highly-competitive academic and athletic 18-team EIWA in 2013-14. The Pride has sent a total of 80 wrestlers to the NCAA Championships, earned 17 All-American honors and won 50 individual conference titles during their 12-years in the CAA. Current EIWA membership includes: Ivy League members Brown University, Cornell University, Columbia University, Harvard University, Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania; Patriot League members American University, Bucknell University, Lehigh University, the United States Military Academy at West Point and the United States Naval Academy; Current Big East member Rutgers University; Northeast Conference (NEC) member Sacred Heart University; and Centennial Conference member Franklin and Marshall, which wrestles on the Division I level. In the autumn of 1904 a few students from several colleges in the East met and proposed the creation of a group to organize intercollegiate wrestling as a sport. The students were gentlemen scholars from four private endowment schools. The association they formed, using as models the existing bodies related to intercollegiate athletics, football and gymnastics, has endured and celebrated its existence with an annual championship for more than a century. The Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association was born on April 7, 1905 with its first meeting at the first tournament in Weightman Hall on the Penn campus in Philadelphia. Three meetings were held each year after the inaugural year; once just before the tournament, once just after the meet, and once in October at which a new tourney site was selected. Remaining strictly a student organization for three-and-a-half decades, the group gradually assumed the surname “Eastern” to distinguish itself from the faculty-controlled “Western” Association, now known as the Big Ten. Ultimately, after the 1939 meet, the students capitulated to faculty control and the Eastern
College Athletic Conference, organized in January 1938, provided formal structure for the EIWA until 2012 as an allied entity of the ECAC. The Patriot League now oversees the EIWA. The University of Pennsylvania will host this year’s 2014 EIWA Championships March 8-9 at The Palestra. Lehigh has won more EIWA titles (34) than any other school, including a string of five in a row from 2002-2006. “We are thrilled to accept membership in the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association,” Hofstra Vice President and Director of Athletics Jeffrey A. Hathaway said last spring. “The EIWA is the nation’s oldest wrestling conference and provides us a partnership with outstanding academic institutions and wrestling programs that compete at the highest level. This move to the EIWA will allow our highly-successful wrestling program to compete against some of the nation’s best teams on a regular basis. Our student-athletes and coaches as well as the Hofstra and Long Island wrestling communities are certainly excited about this new conference affiliation. We extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to our colleagues in the EIWA for offering us membership and we look forward to representing the conference with great pride.” “We are truly excited to be joining a great wrestling conference with a long tradition of excellence, both in the classroom and on the mat,” Hofstra Head Wrestling Coach Robert Anspach said. “We are delighted to be associated with many of the top academic institutions, who also have some of the top wrestling programs in the country. In recent years, we have wrestled many of the teams in the EIWA. We look forward to renewing those rivalries as a conference opponent.” “The coaches and EIWA administrators looked at this and thought that Drexel and Hofstra were a great fit for our conference,” stated Greg Strobel, executive director of the EIWA. “I’ve often wondered why Drexel and Hofstra weren’t in our conference already, as it makes sense for them to be in this conference logistically because of their location and familiarity with our existing teams. This will be exciting for our fans, and we are looking forward to this year’s tournament with Drexel and Hofstra participating alongside our existing members.” The Big Red of Cornell have captured seven consecutive EIWA championships. Columbia and Pennsylvania have each competed in 109 EIWA Championship Tournaments with
Princeton (107), Cornell (105) and Lehigh (101) close behind. Lehigh has won 34 team titles while Cornell has captured 21. The EIWA, which received 45 bids to the 2013 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in Des Moines, IA, earned six All-American honors.

HIS TORY OF HOFS TRA WRES TLING
T
he history of Hofstra Wrestling, which dates back more than 60 years, began as a club team in 1946 and grew quickly to become nationally recognized within two decades.
The first season of Hofstra Wrestling saw Walter “Brick” Stone as the team’s head coach. In its first season as a club team, Hofstra went undefeated in six matches. Home matches were held at Hempstead High School. Three members who helped initiate the first team were Dick Bemson, Frank Fusco and Jim Geiger.
H
Wrestling became a varsity sport during the 1947-48 season. That year Hofstra entered the NCAA Championships held at Lehigh University after compiling a 5-2-1 record. Under Stone’s direction, the wrestlers set a school record of 16 straight victories during the early 1950s. The 1951-52 squad suffered only two losses en route to a 10-2 season. One of the early program’s outstanding wrestlers was Art Strunk. The next Hofstra wrestlers to enter the national spotlight were Dan Notine and Pete Damone. In 1956 Notine became the first Hofstra wrestler to capture a coveted Middle Atlantic Conference Championship. Damone replaced Stone as the team’s coach in 1960. The early tradition of success continued during Damone’s sixyear reign as head coach. Damone produced several fine wrestlers, including Don Hannon (‘60), Tom Haseman (‘61), Dick Snyder (‘63) and Ken Robinson (‘64). The 1965-66 squad won the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Championship and crowned its first Metro title winner, Art Rudolph. In 1966 Bob Getchell became the program’s third coach. Getchell’s first squad produced two Metro Conference winners, Butch Jemmott and Ken Robinson. His second team won the Metro title with Jemmott, Dave Berman and Marty Willigan all taking individual titles, and wrestlers such as Steve Molello offering great contributions to the team. Willigan was named the 1968 Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler. He then went on to the NCAA Championships where he took fourth place, becoming Hofstra’s first All-American. In 1969 the team finished third in the Metropolitan and Middle Atlantic Conference Championships. Willigan captured second place in the NCAA Championships, losing in the final round to Iowa State’s legendary Dan Gable, the top wrestler in the United States. Gable would later coach Hofstra’s current head coach, Tom Ryan, while he attended Iowa. The wrestling program continued to develop under Getchell’s direction. Joel Kislin became Hofstra’s second All-American when he placed third at the NCAA Championships in 1973. In 1972-73, Hofstra hosted the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships and placed second. In the mid-1970s, standouts Nick Gallo, a 126-pounder, and Don Mayorga, a heavyweight, began to make their presence NICK GALLO felt. They powered Hofstra to three East Coast Conference Championships. (The Middle Atlantic Conference formed the East Coast Conference during this time.) Gallo went on to become an alternate for the United States team in the 1976 Olympic Games. In 1977 he captured the NCAA Championship at
126 pounds. He also earned the Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler Award. Bob Getchell then left the coaching ranks COACH BRICK STONE AND THE 1959 TEAM to become Hofstra’s Director of Athletics. Al Bevilacqua replaced him and continued the winning tradition. Hofstra won six straight ECC Championships from 1975 through 1980. After missing a year at the top in 1981, Hofstra captured two more titles in 1982 and 1983. Hofstra standout Nick Gallo returned to his alma mater in 1979 to direct the program. In his five years at Hofstra, the team posted a 57-32 record and captured three ECC championships. As head coach, Gallo sent 11 wrestlers to the NCAA Championships. Among these 11, Ed Pidgeon, a 1981 All-American, finished fourth nationally while Peter Capone, a two-time All-American, finished seventh and second at the NCAAs. Joe Bavaro took over the reigns as head coach from 1984 through 1987, and led the Dutchmen to another ECC Championship in 1985. Under Bavaro’s leadership, Capone, a 167-pounder, was named the ECC Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler. Mike Arena, a 150-pounder and three-time conference champion, was also named the ECC Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler under Bavaro. In 1987 former Hofstra wrestler and three-time conference champion Tony Arena replaced Joe Bavaro as head of the Hofstra Wrestling program. In his two years at Hofstra, Arena led the team to a 15-17-1 record. Javier Armengau returned to his alma mater in 1989 to take over the Flying Dutchmen program. Armengau wrestled under Gallo and Bavaro and was a three-time captain. As coach at Hofstra, Armengau guided wrestlers such as Ralph Tubello to outstanding careers. The 1992-93 season saw Tubello break 100 career wins and freshman Jason Wartinger become Hofstra’s second first team freshman All-American. (The first was Mike Hogan in 1977.) Tom Ryan, a Long Island native and a two-time All-American at Iowa, took over the reigns of the program in 1995. Ryan brought in fine recruiting classes and in 1997 was able to coach three wrestlers – Joe Catalanotto, Ryan Edmundson and Mike Quaglio – to NCAA Tournament berths. Catalanotto won an automatic berth by winning the 126-pound title at the ECWA Championships, while Quaglio and Edmundson were at-large selections. In 1998 the Dutchmen were again well represented at the NCAA Championships. Sophomore Eric Schmiesing and senior Russell Jones both received at-large bids, while junior James Hieronymous and senior Mike Quaglio received automatic bids as ECWA Champions. Hofstra finished the year ranked 24th in the NCAA dual meet rankings. In 1999 Hofstra Wrestling reached new heights. Hofstra placed second at the ECWA Championships and crowned five individual champions who would represent the conference at the NCAA Championships. Roman Fleszar, Jason DeBruin, Eric Schmiesing and Zach Miller won four out of the first five weight classes, and a victory by Russell Jones

HIS TORY OF HOFS TRA WRES TLING gave the Flying Dutchmen their five champions. Roman Fleszar and Eric Schmiesing advanced to the quarterfinals at the NCAA Championships, lifting the Flying Dutchmen to a 26th-place finish out of the 79 competing institutions. Jason DeBruin was also named New York State Freshman of the Year after compiling a 43-8 record. Hofstra met and surpassed its 1999 accomplishments in 2000. The Pride crowned four ECWA Champions, Fleszar, Schmiesing, DeBruin and Rob Anspach, and sent six wrestlers to the NCAA Tournament. Fleszar and Schmiesing each placed at their respective weight classes, becoming Hofstra’s first All-American wrestlers since 1985. As a team, Hofstra placed 21 out of 73 teams. The Pride also won the New York State Championship for the second time in three years. 2001 saw Hofstra win its ninth ECWA Championship and first since 1983, and sent a then school-record seven wrestlers (Tom Noto, Roman Fleszar, Eric Schmiesing, Dennis Papadatos, Jason DeBruin, Noel Thompson and Rob Anspach) to the NCAA Tournament. Fleszar and Schmiesing repeated as All-Americans and the team placed 22nd overall at the NCAA. On the year, Hofstra finished ranked 15th in the nation. Tom Ryan was named ECWA Coach of the Year for the second straight year. The 2000-01 season also marked the final season of the ECWA, as the league merged with the Colonial Athletic Association beginning with the 2001-02 season. The Pride won the Colonial Athletic Association title in 2002 and sent seven wrestlers (Tom Noto, Jon Masa, Jason DeBruin, Paul Siemon, John Garriques, Ralph Everett and Chris Skretkowicz) to the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year. Noto, Masa and DeBruin each won individual championships at the CAA Tournament with DeBruin, the tournament’s most outstanding wrestler, becoming Hofstra’s first fourtime conference champion. Skretkowicz was named the CAA Rookie of the Year, while Tom Ryan was the CAA Co-Coach of the Year. The 2002-03 season once again saw Hofstra surpass the achievements of the last season as the team won the Colonial Athletic Association Championship for the second straight year, sent a school-record eight wrestlers (Pat Flynn, Ricky LaForge, Jon Masa, Mike Patrovich, Noel Thompson, Ralph Everett, Brad Christie and Chris Skretkowicz) to the NCAA Championships, and saw Masa and Skretkowicz come home All-Americans. In addition, LaForge was the CAA Championships co-Most Outstanding Wrestler and Tom Ryan won his fourth consecutive conference coach of the year award. In 2003-04 the Pride continued their winning ways with a 15-5 record in duals, extended their conference match winning streak to 34 by posting an 8-0 conference dual record, captured their third consecutive CAA Championship and in the process had four champions and tied the school mark by sending eight wrestlers (Tom Noto, John Manarte, James Strouse, Paul Siemon, Ralph Everett, Noel Thompson, Brad Christie, and Chris Skretkowicz) to the NCAA Championships in St. Louis. Skretkowicz, who was the CAA Wrestler of the Year, placed fifth to capture his second All-American award as Hofstra finished 20th in the final NCAA Championship standings. Coach Tom Ryan added his fifth straight conference Coach of the Year award to his trophy case. 2004-05 saw the Pride repeat as CAA champions, break the schoolrecord with nine NCAA qualifiers (Dave Tomasette, Charles Griffin, Ricky LaForge, Jon Masa, James Strouse, Mike Patrovich, Paul Siemon, Joe Rovelli, Chris Skretkowicz), place 17th at the NCAA’s as a team and compile a 13-5 dual meet record. Masa, who was named the CAA Wrestler of the Year, placed third at the NCAA
Championship to earn All-America honors for the second time in his career. Hofstra swept the CAA awards as in addition to Masa, Griffin was named the CAA Rookie of the Year and Coach Ryan took home his sixth straight (four 2008 CAA CHAMPIONS CAA and two ECWA) conference Coach of the Year Award. In 2005-06 the Pride took a giant leap toward the top 10 and finished in 11th place at the NCAA Championships, just one point out of a tie for ninth place. Hofstra, which prepared for the Championships with a challenging schedule all season long as its 11-9 dual meet record indicates and captured its fifth consecutive CAA title, winning seven individual titles and qualifying eight wrestlers for nationals. In addition, the Pride, for the first time in school history, had three All-Americans in Jon Masa, Mike Patrovich and Chris Weidman, and recorded the highest team finish (11th) and most points (52.3) at nationals. Patrovich, who finished fourth at the NCAA Championships, would earn CAA Wrestler of the Year honors, Masa was named the CAA Championship Most Outstanding Wrestler, and Tom Ryan was named the CAA Coach of the Year. The 2006-07 season was another year for the record books. Under first-year coach Tom Shifflet the Pride set several school records including four All-Americans (Charles Griffin, Chris Weidman, James Strouse and Mike Patrovich) and a best-ever seventh-place finish at the NCAA championships. The tone of the season was set early when the Pride, competing against one of the toughest schedules in school history, defeated #1 Minnesota in the second week of the season at the Northeast Duals. Hofstra would wrestle 11 nationally-ranked opponents and post an 18-4-2 record in dual matches. The team won a sixth consecutive CAA title, posted a 3-2 record and a sixth place finish at the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals in Cedar Falls, Iowa; and a ninth-place finish at the 47-team Cliff Keen/Las Vegas Invitational with four Pride wrestlers placing in the top seven. Griffin would be named the CAA Wrestler of the Year, Patrovich the CAA Championship Tournament Most Outstanding Wrestler, Ruggirello the CAA Rookie of the Year, and Shifflet the CAA Coach of the Year. In 2007-08 the Pride posted their 11th consecutive winning season with a 13-8 record including victories over nationally-ranked opponents Iowa State (4th), Edinboro (13th), Old Dominion (22nd), Bloomsburg (25th) and Harvard (25th). They also went 2-1 at the Northeast Duals, placed third in the Southern Scuffle and 10th at the Cliff Keen/Las Vegas Invitational. Hofstra continued

its conference excellence, extending its league undefeated dual match streak to 60 (59-0-1) by posting a perfect 6-0 regular season and then capturing its seventh consecutive CAA Championship 2012 CAA CHAMPIONS and the eighth straight conference title overall. The Pride captured three individual CAA titles and Charles Griffin was named the CAA Wrestler of the Year for the second consecutive season. Seven Hofstra wrestlers competed in the NCAA Championships with Griffin (3rd) and Alton Lucas (8th) earning All-America honors and Lou Ruggirello, who became Hofstra’s first top-ranked wrestler early in the season, winning the Gorrarian Award at the national championships for the most pins in the shortest amount of time. The 2008-09 season was a rebuilding year for the Pride with six firsttime starters making their debut for Hofstra. The Pride defeated #7 Penn State and battled a pair of #5 teams in Missouri and Ohio State down to the wire before falling. But Hofstra’s 63-conference match undefeated streak, including 60 consecutive league wins came to an end in a loss to #21 Old Dominion at the CAA Duals. But the Pride regrouped for the CAA Championships to capture three individual conference titles, their eighth consecutive CAA team title and the ninth straight conference championship. Hofstra, which finished the regular season with a 10-6 overall mark and a 5-1 record in CAA duals, sent eight wrestlers to the NCAA Championships in St. Louis. Red-shirt freshman P.J. Gillespie was named the 2009 CAA Rookie of the Year, Tom Shifflet was voted the CAA Coach of the Year and newcomers Steve Bonanno, Justin Accordino, Ben Clymer, Jordan Enck and Gillespie were named to the CAA All-Freshman team. The 2009-10 season, on paper, had great potential. Unfortunately, injuries dictated a a different finish. After just two weeks of the season, three starters were done, two to injuries and one to a red-shirt, and by the first week of January a fourth starter was finished for the year. With a shuffling, inexperienced line-up, the Pride battled through a 6-122 season including a 4-3 mark in the CAA. Hofstra’s streak of nine consecutive conference titles, including eight in the CAA, ended as the Pride placed fifth at the conference championships. Three Hofstra wrestlers, Jonny Bonilla-Bowman, P.J. Gillespie and Ben Clymer, qualified for the NCAA Championships. Freshmen Luke Vaith and Paul Snyder were named to the CAA All-Rookie team at 133 and 285 pounds, respectively. The Pride rebounded during the 2010-11 season and returned two wrestlers to the NCAA Championship All-America stand. Hofstra, wrestling a challenging schedule that included five nationally-ranked opponents including top-ranked
JON MASA
Cornell, posted a 14-4-1 dual match record including a 5-1 mark in the Colonial Athletic Association. The Pride’s regular season tournaments prepared them for the post-season as Hofstra placed 11th at the Cliff Keen-Las Vegas Invitational, ninth at The Southern Scuffle, and fifth at the New York State Championships. Hofstra returned to the top of the CAA, after a one-year absence, recording four conference champions in Lou Ruggirello, Ryan Patrovich, Ben Clymer and Paul Snyder. Three more Pride grapplers, Steve Bonanno (NWCA All-Academic), Vince Varela and P.J. Gillespie, also qualified for the NCAA Championships bringing the Hofstra total to seven. Ruggirello, who ended his illustrious career by winning his fourth conference title and earning Capital OneCoSIDA Academic All-America and NWCA All-Academic honors, reached the NCAA Championship All-American stand, placing seventh at 133 pounds. Gillespie also reached the All-American stand for the first time, placing eighth at 165 pounds. The 2011-12 season marked a change in coaching leadership as alumnus Rob Anspach moved over to the head chair after nine seasons as an assistant coach. Anspach became the first Pride wrestling coach to win his first 10 dual matches on the way to a 12-3 season, a 5-1 CAA regular season and the conference championship for the 11th time in 12 years. The Pride placed ninth at the Southern Scuffle in Chattanooga and 10th at the Cliff Keen-Las Vegas Invitational. Hofstra grabbed its 10th CAA title in the past 11 years as Steve Bonanno at 125, Luke Vaith at 141, P.J. Gillespie at 165 and Ben Clymer at 184 brought home conference titles. Jamie Franco and Justin Accordino would join the four CAA champions in the NCAA Championships where Bonanno and Accordino would earn All-America honors. Bonanno would finish eight at 125 pounds with Accordino placing sixth at 149 pounds. Bonanno would also earn several academic honors including the CAA Wrestling Scholar-Athlete of the Year, NWCA All-Academic, Capital One-CoSIDA All-District At-Large first team and Capital One-CoSIDA Academic All-America At-Large second team. The 2012-13 season marked the final season of CAA Wrestling and the Pride prepped for the final championship by wrestling one of the most challenging schedules in school history. Eleven top 25 opponents, including six matches from the top 10, dotted the Hofstra schedule which, along with several key injuries, led the Pride to a 6-15 dual match record. But that experience also guided Hofstra to a 4-2 conference regular season record and later to Hofstra’s third consecutive CAA title and the 12th conference title in 13 years. Senior Steve Bonanno at 125 and junior Jamie Franco at 133 captured league titles and were joined in the NCAA Championships in Des Moines by junior 141-pounder Luke Vaith, who received an at-large bid. Coach Rob Anspach was named CAA Coach of the Year for his efforts. Like his junior year, Bonanno would also earn several academic honors including the CAA Wrestling Scholar-Athlete of the Year, NWCA AllAcademic, Capital One-CoSIDA All-District At-Large first team and Capital One-CoSIDA Academic All-America At-Large first team. After several teams left the CAA, it was announced in April, 2013 that the CAA would no longer sponsor wrestling and that Hofstra would join the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA) beginning in 2013-14.

he Hofstra University wrestling program is proud to honor the memory of an American hero FDNY Deputy Chief Ray Downey with the Ray Downey Memorial Scholarship. Chief Downey, who served as Chief of Special Operations Command, lost his life heroically during the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Ray Downey was appointed to the FDNY on April 7, 1962. In August 2001, he was placed in charge of all SOC (Special Operations Command) operations - Rescue, Squad, Haz Mat and Marine - and promoted to Deputy Chief. Chief Downey’s phenomenal 39-year career with the FDNY was built upon success after success and rescue after rescue. One of the most - if not the most decorated men in the Department, Chief Downey received five individual medals for valor and 16 unit citations.

A devoted family man who lived in Deer Park, New York, with his wife, Rosalie; father of five married children, Joseph, Marie, Chuck, Ray Jr. and Kathy; and adored grandfather of nine, Chief Downey was an avid fan of the sport of wrestling and supporter of the Hofstra wrestling program, where his sons Joe and Ray Jr. were outstanding athletes. Chief Downey loved wrestling, and he always attended their matches. He STEVE BONANNO continued to support the Hofstra wrestling program long after his sons graduated. After his passing, the Downey family, longtime supporters of Hofstra University and the Pride wrestling program, created a scholarship fund to honor Chief Downey’s memory. Funds contributed are used to endow scholarships in Chief Downey’s name and will provide financial assistance to the Hofstra University wrestling program. Chief Downey’s sons, Joseph, Chuck and Ray Jr., were successful athletes at Deer Park High School, and earned bachelor’s degrees from respected universities through athletic scholarship opportunities. Recipients of these funds will demonstrate the integrity, work ethic, discipline and courage that Deputy Chief Raymond Downey exemplified throughout his life. The 2013 recipient of the Ray Downey Scholarship Award was senior Steve Bonanno from Wantagh, NY.
