HEAD COACH DENNIS PAPADATOS
D
ennis Papadatos, a twotimeNCAA Division I NCAA National Championship qualifier for the Pride, was named the 12th head coach in the history of the Hofstra University Wrestling program on August 4, 2014. Papadatos, a native of Bethpage, New York, was a four-year starter at Hofstra under thenhead coach Tom Ryan from 1997 to 2001 and recorded 95 career victories. He qualified for the NCAA Championships at 157 pounds in 1999-00 after earning a New York State championship and a second-place finish at the ECWA Championships. He returned to nationals as a senior in 2000-01 after winning the ECWA title with three straight victories. Papadatos has served an assistant coach with three well-respected Division I wrestling programs, including the last two seasons at North Carolina under head coach C.D. Mock. Papadatos served as the recruiting coordinator at North Carolina, where he helped the Tar Heels post a top-10 recruiting class for 2014 following a top-20 ranked class in 2013. He was also responsible for the program’s budget, travel logistics, compliance and the studentathletes’ academic progress. As a key member of Mock’s staff in running practices, he helped work with the upper weight classes and was part of a coaching unit that saw nine North Carolina wresters qualify for the NCAA Championships. Under his tutelage, North Carolina earned its first AllAmerica selection in eight seasons when Evan Henderson earned the spot at 141 pounds in 2013. Henderson would follow that up with another All-America selection in 2014, becoming UNC’s first two-time All-American since 2005 and also the highest finisher in nearly two decades as he finished in fourth place.
a role in that both as a student-athlete and as a staff member. His belief in developing well-rounded student-athletes who succeed in the classroom, on the mat and in the community made him the perfect choice to lead our program. Dennis’ tireless efforts have enhanced every program that he has worked with during his journey resulting in him becoming our new head coach. Dennis is a native Long Islander who understands what it will take to be successful at Hofstra on a local, regional and national level.” North Carolina also finished in the top 25 at the NCAA Championships in 2013 and 2014, marking the first time since 1996 and 1997 that the Tar Heels had finished in the top 25 in back-to-back seasons. He helped coach the Tar Heels to a 21st-place team finish in 2013, which was the program’s best showing since 1996. The Tar Heels had success in the classroom as well, as Alex Utley earned NWCA AllAcademic Team honors in both 2012-13 and 2013-14, while also being a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference All-Academic Team. Before going to North Carolina, Papadatos spent five years as an assistant at Binghamton from 2006 through 2011 and helped produce 16 NCAA individual qualifiers and the first four All-America selections in school history. Binghamton saw six wrestlers make it to the NCAA Championships in each of his final two seasons, culminating with a 21st-place national finish in 2010. In the classroom Papadatos helped Binghamton improve its academic progress rate (APR) score over a four-year period and helped recruit a 2008 class that was ranked in the top 25. He was also part of a staff that led the Bearcats to their first and only Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) title in 2010. Papadatos earned his first assistant wrestling coach position at Northern Illinois, where he helped coach four NCAA Championship qualifiers and Josh Wooton to a MidAmerican Conference (MAC) championship at 141 pounds. He assisted in recruiting and arranged the team’s travel and scheduling logistics. “This is an exciting time for the Hofstra Wrestling program,” Hofstra Vice President and Director of Athletics Jeffrey A. Hathaway stated. “From my initial meeting with Dennis I could see the tremendous passion he has for Hofstra University and our wrestling program. Hofstra Wrestling has experienced great success in its history and Dennis has played

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY
“I would like to thank Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz and Vice President and Director of Athletics Jeff Hathaway for their trust in me to lead my alma mater and this outstanding wrestling program,” commented Papadatos. “Words cannot describe my emotions and my passion for this University. It is home in so many ways and I feel blessed to be a part of it again. I want the Hofstra faithful to know that I will work relentlessly to have this program succeed at the highest level in every aspect and our student-athletes will strive for greatness in everything they do, both on the mat and in the classroom. We will focus and work on building great individuals, who will be fantastic role models, citizens and alumni.” Papadatos started his collegiate coaching career as a strength and conditioning assistant at Hofstra from 2001 to 2004 following his graduation. As a certified personal trainer, Papadatos structured team and individual lifts and conditioning programs. Hofstra won the Colonial Athletic Association title in all three of his seasons. As a wrestler, Papadatos, a graduate of Island Trees High School on Long Island, was named to the ECWA All-Freshman Team in 1998 and was a three-time NWCA All-Academic selection. He graduated from Hofstra in 2000 with a degree in exercise physiology and completed a master’s in health education at Hofstra in 2002. Dennis and his wife, Angela, have three children (Gabriella - 6, Apostoli - 4 and Yianni - 2).

HEAD COACH DENNIS PAPADATOS COACH PAPADATOS AND HOFSTRA VICE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS JEFF HATHAWAY
THE PAPADATOS FAMILY
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT DENNIS PAPADATOS... Tom Ryan, Head Wrestling Coach at Ohio State (Hofstra Wrestling Coach from 1995-2006) “Hofstra is a place where I was nurtured and grew as a coach. I have tremendous pride and many great memories at Hofstra. Former President Shuart remains a friend as does the leader of the athletic department Jeff Hathaway. I am proud of the decision Hofstra made in the hiring of Dennis Papadatos. Dennis is the perfect hire as the Head Wrestling Coach. He was a tremendous example as a student-athlete. His past speaks volumes about the passion and energy he will bring to Hofstra wrestling. I’m excited about the future of the program. Dennis will continue to move the program forward.” Noel Thompson, Teammate of Papadatos at Hofstra from 1999-01 and current CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Thompson Global LLC. “Dennis has always had tremendous passion for wrestling and he’ll bring that enthusiasm with him as he returns to Hofstra. Even when we were teammates, he was always a student of the sport. He was very proficient technically and his continued focus on technique has made him a great coach. He’s going to put Hofstra in position to have great success as a program.” Nick Gallo, Former Hofstra Wrestler and 1977 National Champion at 126-pound weight class “Dennis is a great choice to take Hofstra Wrestling to another level. He has shown great leadership in his previous coaching stops and has incredible passion for both Hofstra and the sport of wrestling. With all the exciting events for Hofstra Wrestling in the future, especially being the host of the upcoming 2016 NCAA National Championships at Madison Square Garden, we are all looking forward to seeing the program’s future. I am sure Dennis will steer us in the right direction.” Neil Duncan, Two-time NCAA qualifier for Hofstra from 1971-72 “Dennis is an outstanding hire as Hofstra’s new head wrestling coach. He’s a proven top-notch recruiter. As a well-known and respected former Hofstra wrestler, Dennis relates well to the local wrestling community. He has a tireless work ethic and great passion for the sport, which is apparent as soon as you meet him.” C.D. Mock, Head Wrestling Coach at North Carolina “It has been a great pleasure having Dennis on staff with the Tar Heel family the past few years. Dennis was a big part of our program and certainly instrumental in the positive changes we’ve experienced during that time. He is the right person to lead the Hofstra program and I have no doubt about his prospects for success. Dennis and his family will always be a part of our family and we wish him much success and happiness.”
Pat Popolizio, Head Wrestling Coach North Carolina State (was head coach at Binghamton with Papadatos on his staff) “I had the honor to work with Dennis first hand during my time at Binghamton University. Dennis was a vital part of the success we had at BU and he will bring a work ethic that is unparalleled to Hofstra. He has all the knowledge and experience to build and brand a national powerhouse and Dennis will bring an exciting attitude and personality to the college ranks. Hofstra has a rich history of wrestling and I am confident Dennis will continue to build upon that. He is the perfect coach, mentor and leader for the Hofstra Pride.” Jim Norris, Retired Athletic Director/Binghamton University “Dennis Papadatos is one of the finest teacher-coaches that I have ever been associated with and he will do a super job as the Head Wrestling Coach at Hofstra University. Dennis is a first-class person with great integrity and he will continue to be a tremendous role model for young people. His work ethic, inexhaustible energy level, and positive enthusiasm are all second to none. Without a doubt, Dennis Papadatos will build a wrestling program that everybody associated with Hofstra University will be extremely proud of and he will do it the right way.” Mike Moyer, Executive Director of National Wrestling Coaches Association “Dennis is a terrific hire for Hofstra University. He is fully committed to an educationally based coaching philosophy. Dennis is absolutely tremendous and I know that Hofstra is home for him. He is one of the bright shining stars in our coaching community and Hofstra Wrestling is in good hands with Dennis at the helm. Dennis’ ongoing commitment to pursue professional development on multiple occasions in our CEO Leadership Academy clearly separates him from many others. Coaching development is an important aspect of his maturation as a coach and we couldn’t be happier for Dennis and his family.” Pat Tocci, Senior Director of National Wrestling Coaches Association “Hofstra University is getting an outstanding coach in Dennis. He is extremely committed and a tireless worker who understands the necessities both on and off the mat it requires to build a successful program. I have no doubt he will continue to build on the rich history of Hofstra Wrestling.” Scott Casber, Co-Founder/Host Takedown Wrestling Media “Dennis has been a fixture in college wrestling and he’s a tremendous recruiter and outstanding coach. He expects nothing but the best from his student-athletes. Hofstra has made a good hire and he’ll be an incredible asset to the athletic department.”

ASSISTANT COACH JAKE PATACSIL
J
ake Patacsil is in his first season as Hofstra University Assistant Wrestling Coach in 2014-15.
Patacsil, a native of Sunrise, Florida, comes to Hofstra after serving as an assistant coach at Duke University in 2013-14. While on the Blue Devils staff he assisted in recruiting one of the top 50 recruits and several top 20-ranked wrestlers. He also helped with the marketing and the management of social media outlets for Duke wrestling, and assisted in the planning and running of daily practices. Patacsil also worked extensively with Connor Hartman, who earned NCAA All-America honors with a fifth-place finish in the 197-pound weight class. Duke, which placed five wrestlers on the All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Academic Team, finished 29th at the 2014 NCAA Division I Championships. Prior to coaching at Duke, Patacsil served as an assistant coach at Notre Dame College in South Euclid, Ohio, for two seasons, Central
College in Pella, Iowa, during the 201011 season and at Twin Lakes High School in Monticello, Indiana, in 2010. While at Notre Dame in 2012-13, the Falcons placed third as a team in the NCAA Division II Championships with seven All-Americans and two national champions. In his first season at Notre Dame, the Falcons captured the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA) national championship and had two individual champions. At Central, he helped the Dutch get their first national qualifier in seven years. “I am so excited to add Jake to our staff here at Hofstra,” Hofstra Head Coach Dennis Papadatos said. “He brings so many things to the table that I couldn’t look past. His strong reputation on the mat and stellar accomplishments in the classroom will be beneficial to our program. His outstanding Big Ten career as a student-athlete at Purdue and his coaching experiences makes him an ideal assistant coach. As a wrestler, he was one of the best performers in the top position that college wrestling has ever seen, and we plan on utilizing his expertise. Personally, I was drawn to Jake’s character and ability to express himself in a manner I want all Hofstra Wrestlers to act. He will be a great role model for our student-athletes and a welcome
addition to our Pride family.” Patacsil was a three-year starter, captain and NCAA Championships qualifier at Purdue University, where he earned All-America honors in 2009 with a fifth-place finish at 149-pounds as a senior. He was a three-time Most Valuable Wrestler Award winner at Purdue, where he recorded a 120-41 record with 25 falls, 51 reversals and 803 back points. He currently ranks eighth in falls, third in victories, second in reversals and first in back points in the Purdue record book. His .745 career winning percentage ranks 13th in Purdue history. In his sophomore season Patacsil recorded a 34-12 slate, placed seventh at the Big Ten Championships and qualified for the NCAA Championships. As a junior he posted a 30-10 mark, placed fourth at the Big Ten Championships and advanced to the round of 12 at the NCAA Championships. His final season was his most memorable as he posted a team-best 38-10 record, placed fourth in the Big Ten Championships and went on to place fifth and earn All-America honors in the NCAA Championships. The 38 victories rank fifth all-time on the Boilermaker’s singleseason win chart.
A standout student who earned his degree in math education in 2009, Patacsil was the first Purdue wrestler to earn the Big Ten Medal of Honor, given to a male or female athlete at each conference institution for excellence in athletics and in the classroom. He also received the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award while at Purdue. Jake was also a third generation member of the Patacsil family to wrestle for Purdue, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Joe, who was a 1950 national champion, his father, Frank, and uncle, Ted.

2014-15 OUTLOOK
W
hen Dennis Papadatos heard that his friend and former teammate Rob Anspach was resigning his position as head coach of the Pride to enter private business last June, the former North Carolina, Binghamton and Northern Illinois assistant coach wasted little time in letting Hofstra Vice President and Director of Athletics Jeffrey A. Hathaway know of his great interest in the job. After all, Papadatos was a Long Island native, a two-time graduate of Hofstra, a two-time NCAA Championship qualifier for the Pride, and wrestled and coached under Tom Ryan, who brought the program back to prominence during his 11-year tenure with the Pride. After a national review of candidates, Hathaway selected the energetic Papadatos as Hofstra’s 12th head wrestling coach in school history in August and the new coach hit the ground running, eager to install his coaching system, both philosophically and culturally. While Papadatos lost five starters, including three of the Pride’s four 2014 NCAA Championship qualifiers to graduation last May, Anspach left a core of 12 returnees, with five starters, and a solid group of red-shirts and newcomers. Leading the group is the lone returning NCAA Championship qualifier, graduate-student Cody Ruggirello. The 149-pound qualifier, who placed fourth in Hofstra’s inaugural season in the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA), recorded a career-best 26-12 mark last season while also earning National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) All-Academic team honors.
Wyoming Valley High School, competed in 16 matches at 133 as a redshirt last season and could also challenge at this weight. “This is a very interesting weight class and I think all three would do a solid job for us,” Papadatos said. “Travis is good on top and would be the hometown favorite being from Long Island. But Bryan, like Travis, has excellent credentials and will give him a run for the starting job.”
133 The move of sophomore Jamel Hudson (Bay Shore, NY) from 133 to 141 this season leaves the starting job up for grabs in what should be a fierce battle between red-shirt sophomore Maverick Passaro (Manorville, NY) and Krasavage. Passaro, who transferred to Hofstra last season after one year at Rutgers University, was 8-4 in open tournaments for the Pride last season. Like his brother, Travis, Maverick, was a New York State High School champion at Eastport South Manor High School in 2012. Despite wrestling all 16 open matches at 133 pounds last season, Krasavage, who was the unofficial back up to Jamie Franco at 125 last year, wanted a crack at the 133-pound starting job and Papadatos is giving it to him. “This is the most highly-contested weight class we have with Maverick and Kyle,” Papadatos says. “Maverick has some big moves on the mat and if he hits them, it’s lights out. Kyle is also dangerous on the mat and can
Ruggirello will be joined by a group of fellow returning starters – all sophomores – in Jamel Hudson, who is expected to move up from 133 pounds to 141 this season; Jahlani Callender at 157 pounds; Frank Affronti at 174 pounds; and Michael Hughes, the only true sophomore in the group, at 285. In addition, two-year starter Jermaine John, who missed last season with an injury, also returns and will be looking for a starting role in one of the upper weights. “I am really excited about seeing what this core group can do for us this season,” Papadatos says. But that leaves Papadatos with five weight classes in which to identify a starter from a group of talented red-shirts and eight newcomers. The first-year coach will be looking to fill vacant spots at 125, 133, 165, 184 and 197 pounds and get them battle-tested and ready for the EIWA and, hopefully, the NCAA Championships in March. “To be successful this season, we have to continue the preseason work ethic while changing the culture and mindset. We have to continue to work hard to be the best that we can be. I want our guys to be strong on the mat and in the classroom. Our goals this season are to have a 3.0 team GPA, to be in the top three at the EIWA Championships, and to get five wrestlers to nationals with at least one of those five to be competing on Saturday for All-America honors,” said Papadatos.

beat anybody at any time. So we will see how this plays out.”
141 125 The graduation of two-time NCAA qualifier Jamie Franco leaves the spot wide open for a battle between two, or possibly three, freshmen. Papadatos is expecting a fierce battle between true freshmen, Travis Passaro (Manorville, NY) and Bryan Damon (Oak Ridge, NJ). Passaro, the younger brother of Pride 133-pounder Maverick Passaro, was a two-time All-American and the 2014 New York State High School champion during his 50-0 senior campaign at Eastport South Manor High School. Damon was a two-time New Jersey state placewinner at Jefferson Township High School.

The Pride lost four-year starter, three-time NCAA qualifier and 2014 EIWA Championship finalist Luke Vaith to graduation after a careerbest 31-8 slate last season. Papadatos will replace Vaith with dynamic red-shirt sophomore Jamel Hudson, who moves up from 133. Hudson, another 2012 New York State High School champion at St. Anthony’s High School, recorded a 16-4 record with six major decisions last season. Red-shirt sophomore Alex Mirante (Moraga, CA), who wrestled in 10 matches at 141 and 149 last season, and true freshman Connor Muli (Medford, NJ), a four-time district champion and a twotime regional champ while posting a 119-18 record at Shawnee High School, will challenge for time at this weight. “Jamel has awesome ability and potential,” Papadatos said. “He has the talent to reach the top of the podium someday.”

2014-15 OUTLOOK CODY RUGGIRELLO
NICK TERDICK
149 After struggling with injuries for the better part of three seasons, graduate-student Cody Ruggirello (Walden, NY) broke out last season with a career-best 26-12 record and placed fourth in the EIWA Championships to earn his first bid to the NCAA Championships. A healthy Ruggirello, who earned his bachelor’s degree last May and is working on a MBA degree in finance, has the ability to challenge for the top of the platform at the EIWA Championships and earn his second NCAA Championship bid in March. Red-shirt sophomore Cory Goshkagarian (Somerset, NJ), who wrestled in 15 matches in open tournaments at 149 and 157, and freshman Aaron Hartman (Palm Harbor, FL), a five-time Florida High School Championship placewinner and five-time county champion at Palm Harbor University High School, will back-up Ruggirello. “Cody seems to be making bigger strides than last year,” Papadatos commented. “He has the ultimate equalizer in that he is good on top. He can pin anybody at any time. He is hard to take down, he’s scrappy, and he competes and scrambles. We expect Cody to be an All-American this year.”
157 The Pride actually have two starters returning at 157 pounds in 201415 as senior Nick Terdick (East Northport, NY), who started off last season as the starter at 157 but will be moving up to 165 this year, and red-shirt sophomore Jahlani Callender (North Lauderdale, FL), who took over the job in January, both return. Callender, who recorded a 12-5 mark at 149 before moving up to 157 and posting a 6-5 mark during the second half of the season, continued to improve as the season went along last season. His year of experience last season should prove to be most beneficial for the Pride in 2014-15. “Jahlani is super talented and has immense ability,” Papadatos says. “We are looking for great things from him this season.”
posted a 7-23 record at 165 pounds in 2012-13, will be challenged by freshman Bobby Fehr (Bath, PA), a two-time Pennsylvania State High School Championship place-winner who recorded a 98-32 career record at Northampton High School, and senior Jay Lysne, who has seen limited action during his two-year Hofstra career. Fehr also placed sixth in the Super 32 Nationals while Lysne is expecting to graduate in just three years. “Nick is a senior who has experience and looks like he is prepared to have the best season of his career,” Papadatos commented. “We think he can be a big contributor to the team this year. Bobby has been one of the most impressive freshmen on the team this year. He has an impressive defense and is very powerful. I look forward to his development this year.”
174 A not-so-funny thing happened at 174 pounds on the way to last season. 2012-13 starter Jermaine John (Brooklyn, NY) suffered a season-ending injury during the preseason that sent the Pride staff scurrying to fill the void. The first replacement resulted in three wins in 11 matches before red-shirt freshman Frank Affronti (Ontario, NY) was called on to take over the role in late November. He grew into the position and finished the year at 16-16 and placed fourth in the EIWA JAHLANI CALLENDER
165 With the graduation of graduate-student Joe Booth, who posted a career-best 35-9 record, became Hofstra’s first EIWA champion, and was one of four NCAA Championship qualifiers last season, Terdick will be looking to close out his career on a high note as he moves from 157 to 165 pounds this season. The fifth-year senior tallied a 7-9 record at 157 pounds in the first half of last season. Terdick, who started and

Championships. Affronti will return to his starting role this season in a weight class with little depth. “Frank made huge improvements throughout the season last year and continued to do so during the offseason,” Papadatos said. “I think he will be surprising opponents this season.”
184
285
The 184-pound weight class, like the classes before and after, were problematic for the Pride last season. Hofstra was 9-16 at 184 in 201314 and will have a new starter there this season. Papadatos is expecting a strong battle between John, a red-shirt junior and former 174-pound starter, and freshman Cory Damiana (Cape May, NJ). All eyes will be on the super strong John to see how he rebounds from a season-ending injury last season as he bumps up a weight class this year. He was 19-13 and placed second in the Colonial Athletic Association at 174 two years ago. Damiana was a three-time district champion and New Jersey State High School Championship qualifier at Lower Cape May High School. “Jermaine is stronger than we expected after coming back from missing last season with an injury,” Papadatos says. “I think by moving up a weight class he will be able to focus more on getting better and winning. He is definitely strong enough to handle the weight class. Cory is talented and should give Jermaine a run for his money. We are excited about his future.”
A bigger and stronger Michael Hughes (Smithtown, NY) returns to the starting role at 285 pounds in 2014-15 after having a baptism by fire as an undersized freshman last season. Hughes, who wrestled at around 230 pounds as a freshman, worked hard on his size, strength and technique in the off-season and should improve upon his 13-20 mark of a year ago. As a freshman, he placed fifth in the New York State Collegiate Championships and was 3-4 in the tough EIWA. Hughes, who posted a 109-9 career record in high school, captured the New York State High School Championship title in 2013 during his 42-0 season. “Mike is as strong as anyone in the country,” Papadatos says. “He has made big gains since last year and we look for him to be a leader on this team.”
197 The graduation of Zeal McGrew leaves the 197-pound weight class wide open for two freshmen to battle it out for the starting role. Michael Oxley (Middletown, NJ) is a two-time district and regional champion who placed fifth in the New Jersey High School Championships as a senior. He recorded a 94-23 mark during his scholastic career. Pushing Oxley for the starting nod will be Demetrius “DJ” Zissimos (Broomfield, CO), who was an all-conference selection in wrestling and football and placed fifth in the Colorado High School State Championships in 2013. “I am most concerned about this weight class because our two guys are young and inexperienced in a very talented division,” Papadatos says. “Both Mike and DJ are working hard and we look forward to their progress throughout the season.”

SCHEDULE Hofstra’s 17-match schedule includes seven contests against opponents that finished in the top 20 at the 2014 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in Oklahoma City, OK last March. Hofstra will face three of those opponents – Oklahoma, Cornell and Virginia Tech at home. The Sooners placed 10th at the NCAA Championships last season, while the Big Red was seventh overall. The Pride close the regular season with a meeting against the Hokies, who finished eighth at nationals a season ago. The Pride face Missouri, which placed 14th at the NCAAs, and North Carolina State, which was 19th, at the Journeyman/Asics Northeast Duals and then meet Maryland at The Grapple at the Garden. The Terrapins finished 20th at the NCAA Championships in 2014. Hofstra’s lone true road contest against a top-20 NCAA Championship team will come at Lehigh in the second dual match of the season and in the Pride’s EIWA opener. Lehigh placed 18th at the NCAA Championships last season.

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY DIRECTOR 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 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 studentathletes a top priority. In the classroom, more than 50% of UConn’s 650 studentathletes 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 studentathletes. The National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS) saluted Connecticut 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. During his time at Connecticut, private fundraising averaged more than $13 million a year. Hathaway was also responsible negotiating several key revenue and partnership agreements, securing major gifts, and guiding the building of two LEED certified athletic facilities, UConn’s first, which received recognition from the

University and from the Connecticut Real Estate Exchange. 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. 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 and women’s track and field and women’s diving also took part in NCAA action. Hathaway originally came to Connecticut in November of 1990 as senior associate athletic director. In that role, he oversaw the day-today 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 (23) and Michael (19).

THIS IS THE EIWA INDIVIDUAL EIWA CHAMPIONS BY SCHOOL
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 111th time the EIWA has held this prestigious event. Hofstra, which had enjoyed a dominant 12-year tenure in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) for wrestling, winning 11 conference championships including the final two, joined the highly-competitive academic and athletic EIWA in 2013-14. In its first season, Hofstra crowned one EIWA champion in Joe Booth, had one runner-up in Luke Vaith and sent four student-athletes to the NCAA Championships. As a team the Pride placed fourth at the EIWA Championship. 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; Colonial Athletic Association members Drexel and Hofstra; Northeast Conference (NEC) member Sacred Heart University; America East members Binghamton; 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.
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. Lehigh University will host the 2015 EIWA Championships March 7-8 at Stabler Arena. Lehigh has won more EIWA titles (34) than any other school, including a string of five in a row from 2002-2006.

EIWA TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS BY SCHOOL
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

HISTORY OF HOFSTRA WRESTLING
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. 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 former Hofstra 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 NICK GALLO

COACH BRICK STONE AND THE 1959 TEAM 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 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 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.)

2008 CAA CHAMPIONS
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 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.
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 coMost 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
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

HISTORY OF HOFSTRA WRESTLING 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 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.
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 6-12-2 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 2006-07 season was another year for the record books. Under firstyear 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 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

HISTORY OF HOFSTRA WRESTLING
2012 CAA CHAMPIONS
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 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 oneyear 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 One-CoSIDA 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 AllAcademic, 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. The 18-team EIWA includes many of the top wrestling programs in the east. Six top 25 opponents were on the schedule for a rebuilding team. The Pride recorded a 4-3 slate in the EIWA and 6-10 overall mark. Hofstra finished second to Cornell in the New York State Collegiate Championships and placed fourth in the EIWA Championships, sending four Pride wrestlers to the NCAA Championships in Oklahoma City. Graduate-student Joe Booth became the first Hofstra grappler to win an EIWA title, winning in sudden victory at 165 pounds. He led seniors Jamie Franco and Luke Vaith and junior Cody Ruggirello into the national tournament. Ruggirello would earn NWCA All-Academic honors.

THE RAY DOWNEY, SR. MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP AND WRESTLING FUND
T
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 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 2014 recipient of the Ray Downey Scholarship Award was senior Zeal McGrew from Glenville, NY.
