2016 NCAA Wrestling Championships

The NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships will take place March 1719, 2016, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Hofstra University is proud to serve as the co-host of the event with Madison Square Garden.

The championships will mark the first NCAA final of any sport at The Garden since men’s basketball in 1950, when CCNY beat Bradley to win the national championship.

The 2016 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at Madison Square Garden will mark only the third time the championships have taken place in the state of New York. In 1964, Cornell hosted the event, during which Oklahoma State won the national championship and in 2002 when Minnesota claimed the team title in Albany.

More than 2,400 student-athletes from across the country will compete for the opportunity to become one of 330 wrestlers to advance to the championships at Madison Square Garden.

HEAD COACH DENNIS PAPADATOS

D

ennis Papadatos, a two-time NCAA 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.

Now in his second season in charge of the Pride fortunes, he has brought a renewed atmosphere of dedication and commitment, both on and off the mat, to the Hofstra Wrestling program.

Papadatos, a native of Bethpage, New York, was a four-year starter at Hofstra under then-head coach Tom Ryan from 1997-2001 and recorded 95 career victories. At 157 pounds, he qualified for the NCAA Championships in 1999-00 after earning a New York State championship and a second-place finish in 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 wellrespected Division I wrestling programs, including the last two seasons at North Carolina under head coach C.D. Mock.

At Chapel Hill Papadatos served as the recruiting coordinator, 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

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY

HEAD COACH DENNIS PAPADATOS

responsible for the program’s budget, travel logistics, compliance and the student-athletes’ 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 All-America 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.

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 Tar Heels to a 21stplace 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 All-Academic 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 fouryear 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 Mid-American Conference (MAC) championship at 141 pounds. He assisted in recruiting and arranged the team’s travel and scheduling logistics.

Papadatos started his collegiate coaching career as a strength and conditioning assistant at Hofstra from 2001-04 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 AllFreshman team in 1998 and was a threetime NWCA Academic All-America.

He graduated from Hofstra in 2000 with a degree in exercise physiology and completed a master’s in health education from Hofstra in 2002.

Dennis and his wife, Angela, have three children (Gabriella - 7, Apostoli - 5 and Yianni - 3).

F

ormer twotime Penn State All-American Dan Vallimont is in his fifth season as an assistant coach on the Pride staff in 2015-16.

Under his direction in 2014, Hofstra had its first Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association champion in Joe Booth at 165 pounds Vallimont, a native of Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, was a four-time NCAA qualifier for the Nittany Lions of Penn State from 2005 through 2010 who recorded a 110-36

mark during his collegiate career. A team captain in 2008-09 and 2009-10, Vallimont placed second at the 2010 NCAA Division I Championships at 165 pounds and finishing the season with a 30-9 mark. As a sophomore, he finished third at the 2008 NCAA Championships at 157 pounds and posted a 32-3 record.

A three-time top three finisher at the Big Ten Championships, Vallimont placed second in 2008 and third in 2009 and 2010. As a redshirt freshman in 2006-07, he placed fourth in the Big Ten Championships and tallied a 22-12 record. Vallimont advanced to the NCAA Championships as the 12th-seed at 157 pounds and came within one win of AllAmerica accolades. As a junior, he placed third in the Big Ten, advanced to the NCAA Championships at 165 pounds and, again, came one victory shy of All-America status, finishing with a 26-12 slate on the season.

Vallimont has continued his wrestling career, and has been ranked as high as 21st in the world, while coaching the Pride. He has consistently been ranked in the top 10 U.S. National Team rankings over the past several years. Vallimont was a two-time U.S. World Team Trials qualifier and finished in the top six in 2014. He was also a member of the U.S. Freestyle World Cup team that placed third in Los Angeles in 2014. Vallimont was a runner-up at the 2014 Dave Schultz Memorial Tournament at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

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.

2015-16 OUTLOOK

W

hen Hofstra Head Wrestling Coach Dennis Papadatos was hired in August 2014 he laid out a multi-phase plan to rebuild the Pride program, both through coaching philosophy and wrestler mindset. With a little less than three months before the start of the season, he also had to evaluate his wrestlers and fill five open weight classes that were lost to graduation.

KYLE KRASAVAGE

The energetic Papadatos hit the ground running and quickly installed a renewed commitment to excellence for his team, on the mat, in the classroom and in the community. While the results of the 2014-15 season were not what he wanted, the foundation and ground-work for future successes were laid during the Pride’s 5-11 season.

Papadatos, who lost two starters to graduation last May, returns for his second year with phase two of his plan for his relatively young squad.

A rigorous off-season conditioning program and the benefits of having seen his student-athletes for a full year should reap benefits in 201516. He will have 15 returnees this season, including eight starters, on this year’s roster. But that doesn’t mean every weight class starter is set in stone as Papadatos expects a competitive preseason and early season on the road to the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Championships at Princeton and the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, which will be hosted by Hofstra, at Madison Square Garden in March.

125 Returning starter Bryan Damon (Oak Ridge, NJ) returns for his second season at 125 pounds. Damon, who started last season as a back-up before taking over the starting job in late December when Travis Passaro moved up to 133 pounds, posted an overall mark of 14-11 with six wins by fall as a freshman. He captured the Lock Haven Invitational title in his first official starting role at 125. “While Bryan had some highs and lows last season, he did show some signs of improvement during the season,” Papadatos said. “He had a strong summer, has matured, is bigger and stronger and has a better attitude coming into the season.”

Marcus Begay, a senior who will be wrestling for the Pride for the first time in 2015-16, will back-up Damon. Begay, who hails from Higley High School in Gilbert, Arizona, was a three-time state place-winner in high school and a two-time runner-up at the AAU Grand Nationals.

BRYAN DAMON

133

The 133-pound weight class was the most contested weight class on the team last year and will be again this season. Three student-athletes wrestled there last season, with one returning, and two will battle it out in 2015-16. Red-shirt sophomore Kyle Krasavage (Larksville, PA) took over the starting role at 133 in late November last year and held it for approximately a month before an injury ended his season. He posted a 6-5 record in his short time on the mat last season and looked to be in a good battle with Passaro for the starting job this season, only to be sidelined again with an injury. Freshman Connor Burkert (Cranford, NJ), a three-time New Jersey State place-winner at St. Peter’s Prep High School, will also battle at this weight-class. “Without a doubt, 133 is the most highly contested weight class on our team this year,” Papadatos says. “We have two wrestlers who have the talent to be starters. We have some options here including moving someone to a different weight, red-shirting or keeping an open battle for the spot all season. But nonetheless, we are confident that whoever is in that spot has the ability to win.”

141

Hofstra’s lone returning NCAA Championship qualifier, junior Jamel Hudson (Bay Shore, NY), returns at 141 and will handle this weight.

Hudson, who won New York State and Lock Haven Invitational titles and placed fifth in the EIWA Championships, posted a 24-6 overall record including a 13-2 slate in duals last season. The fourthyear junior didn’t rest on his laurels in the off-season. “Jamel did an outstanding job during the offseason and looks better than ever,” Papadatos said. “We look for great things from Jamel this year and we expect him to complete the trip to the All-American stand in March.”

Red-shirt freshman Connor Muli (Medford, NJ), who was 4-5 in open tournaments last season, and true freshman Ryan Burkert (Cranford, NJ), a two-time New Jersey State place-winner, will be pushing Hudson or looking to make an impact at 149 pounds as well.

2015-16 OUTLOOK JAMEL HUDSON

149

The graduation of NCAA qualifier Cody Ruggirello has left the 149-pound weight class wide open for red-shirt freshman Aaron Hartman (Clearwater, FL). The five-time Florida State High School qualifier, including a runner-up finish as a junior, posted an 8-3 slate in open tournaments and caught Papadatos’ eye with his hard work. “Aaron has a lot of talent and had a lot of success in high school,” Papadatos says. “We look for him to display that this season. After red-shirting last year, he is wrestling like he has something to prove this season.”

Hartman may be challenged by Muli and Ryan Burkert moving up or red-shirt junior Alex Mirante (Moraga, CA), who saw action in six matches including four duals last year.

157

Red-shirt junior Jahlani Callender (North Lauderdale, FL) is expected to return to his starting role at 157 pounds in 2015-16. Callender was 16-15 overall with five pins last season and posted a first-place finish at the Lock Haven Invitational and a third-place finish at the New York State Collegiate Championships. But while he was improved, Papadatos wants more. “Jahlani made some nice improvements last season,” Papadatos said. “But we know he has more to give and we are looking for more consistent results this year. We have high expectations for him this season.”

Red-shirt junior Cory Goshkagarian (Somerset, NJ) and freshman Jake Kaminsky (Manalapan, NJ) will be backing-up Callender.

Goshkagarian wrestled in nine matches, including one dual match, last season while Kaminsky, who could be red-shirted this season, was 35-3 and placed seventh at the New Jersey State High School Championships as a senior at Manalapan High School.

2015-16 OUTLOOK 184

The 184-pound weight class has two starters returning from last season in John and sophomore Cory Damiana (Cape May, NJ). Damiana was thrown into the starting role last season, wrestling in 22 matches, and recorded five of his seven victories by fall when John was injured.

“Cory saw significant action last season as a true freshman,” Papadatos said. “While it wasn’t our plan to rush his development that way, he showed great improvement and has a great attitude.”

While the weight classes for both John and Affronti will not be finalized until after the season begins, it is also entirely possible that Damiana could also be red-shirted in the 2015-16.

197 FRANK AFFRONTI

165

The 165-pound weight class, left vacant by the graduation of Nick Terdick, may be a dynamic weight class that will reach 174 and 184 pounds as well. Red-shirt senior Jermaine John (Brooklyn, NY), who wrestled at 174 three years ago and 184 last season during an injuryriddled campaign, expressed interest during the preseason to challenge for the 165-pound vacancy. The muscular John, a three-year starter, was 3-8 at 184 last season and will be given that opportunity. If John can’t make it at 165, look for red-shirt freshman Bobby Fehr (Bath, PA) to fill the spot. Fehr, who placed third in the New York State Collegiate “B” Championships and fourth at the Binghamton Open, was 7-4 in 2014-15. “The weight classes of 165, 174 and 184 could be very fluid early in the season,” Papadatos said. “Jermaine is a returning starter who brings senior experience to any weight class that he may wrestle at. Bobby had a great summer and preseason and could fit very well at 165.

Sophomore Michael Oxley (Middletown, NJ) won the 197-pound starting spot in a two-way battle last season and was one of four newcomers in starting roles for the Pride. Oxley, who placed fifth at both the New York State Collegiate “B” Championships and the Lock Haven Invitational, was 5-21 as a freshman. Like last year, he will be challenged once again, this time by freshman Omar Haddad (Orefield, PA), a three-time Pennsylvania State High School qualifier who placed third as a senior and seventh as a junior. “Michael showed great improvement from the start of the season to the finish,” Papadatos said. “He is a hard-worker and very coachable. Omar is strong and had some high school success. We expect a good battle for the starting spot between these two young wrestlers.”

285

Junior Michael Hughes (Smithtown, NY), a two-year starter for the Pride, returns to start again at 285 in 2015-16. Coming off a breakout season that included a first-place finish at the New York State Collegiate Championships, a second-place finish at the Lock Haven Invitational, a seventh-place finish at the EIWA Championships and a 22-11 record, the Pride coaching staff is expecting great things from Hughes as indicated by his selection as team captain. He had 10 pins and was 10-6 in duals last year. “Michael is as big and strong as any heavyweight in the country,” Papadatos exclaimed. “He has worked hard during the offseason and has put in the time and effort to take that next big step in college wrestling. This is his time to shine.”

Freshman Alec Guevara (Modena, NY), who was 38-7 and a New York State High School Championship qualifier as a senior at Wallkill High School, is expected to miss the entire season with an injury sustained during the preseason.

174

Red-shirt junior Frank Affronti (Ontario, NY) is the returning starter at 174 pounds. He placed second at the Lock Haven Invitational, fifth in the New York State Championships and posted a 17-15 slate at 174 pounds. But Affronti, a two-year starter, has shown interest in moving up to 184 this season. A move by Affronti could also leave 174 open for Jermaine John. “Frank is another one of our wrestlers who has gained a great deal of experience in a short time,” Papadatos says. “He is extremely strong but needs to be more consistent this season. We look for him to take that next step up in 2015-16.”

VICE PRESIDENT & DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

H

ofstra

University President Stuart Rabinowitz introduced Jeffrey A. Hathaway, formerly Director of Athletics at the University of Connecticut and the chairman of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, on May 15, 2012. Now in his fourth year as the Vice President and Director of Athletics at Hofstra, Hathaway was recently appointed to the inaugural NCAA Council as the Colonial Athletic Association representative and currently serves as the Vice Chair of the newly formed NCAA Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee. This past June, Hathaway received the Under Armour AD of the Year Award at the NACDA Convention for the third time in his career.

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 Scholar-Athlete of the Year (the CAA’s highest academic recognition) honors.

One 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. In 2013-14 Hofstra had two NCAA Tournament appearances (wrestling and softball), a regular season men’s lacrosse championship, two Academic All-District selections, two CAA Players of the Year and two CAA Defensive Players of the Year. The 2014-15 year saw the volleyball, wrestling and softball programs make appearances in the NCAA Tournament, with both volleyball and softball capturing CAA titles. In addition, men’s soccer and women’s lacrosse were both regular season CAA champions. Five Hofstra student-athletes earned CAA Player of the Year honors and three were named CAA Scholar-Athletes in their respective sports.

In Hathaway’s three years as vice president and director of athletics, there have been nine teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament, six CAA titles, three regular season CAA titles and two other postseason appearances (College Basketball Invitational

30

•

and Women’s National Invitation Tournament).

Seven new head coaches have joined the Pride staff during Hathaway’s tenure including Head Men’s Basketball Coach Joe Mihalich who has taken a team that finished in last place three years ago to being selected first in the 2015-16 CAA Preseason Poll.

During Hathaway’s three years more than 700 student-athletes have earned 3.0 grade point averages or better and 50 have posted a perfect 4.0 GPA. Hofstra has also had a tremendous amount of success in the NCAA Division I Academic Performance Program as the softball and tennis programs both posted multi-year Academic Progress Rates (APR) in the top-10 percent of the team’s respective sport throughout Division I. In addition, 10 athletic teams (Men’s Basketball, Men’s Golf, Men’s Tennis, Women’s Basketball, Women’s Cross Country, Field Hockey, Women’s Golf, Softball, Women’s Soccer and Women’s Tennis) achieved a perfect 1000 APR score for the 2013-14 academic year.

The Hofstra Athletics Pride Club has increased fundraising during each year of his tenure.

Hathaway has also overseen areas of capital improvement with the completion of the Hofstra Basketball Practice Facility in July 2014 as well as the replacement of artificial turf surfaces at James M. Shuart Stadium, the Hofstra Soccer Stadium and University Field (baseball). Hofstra student-athletes have increased their community service efforts during Hathaway’s tenure, earning a pair of awards from Hofstra’s Office of Student Leadership and Activities in 2013-14. In 2014 the athletic department unveiled an updated GoHofstra.com. In addition, Hofstra introduced a brand-new online ticketing system (HofstraTickets.com), along with an on-line donor management system to better manage donor accounts.

Hathaway was named to the NCAA Division I Leadership Council, continuing his tradition of service on the national level. He had served a five-year term as a member of the prestigious NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, representing the Big East Conference, and was chair of the committee in 2011-12. Hathaway also served on NACDA’s Executive Committee, was a board member of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association and a member of the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet. He served the Big East Conference in a wide range of leadership roles including as Chair of the Athletic Directors.

Hathaway guided the 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 and as the executive associate director of athletics from 1990 to 2001.

At the same time, he became an influential

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY

leader for college athletics on both the national and conference level. The Huskies would capture nine national titles during his tenures. He played a key role in the transition of the football program from Division I-AA to FBS status. Highlights of this transition included membership in The Big East Football Conference, twice winning the conference championship, the construction of a new off-campus football stadium and on-campus football complex/indoor practice facility and participation in five bowl games, including the 2011 Fiesta Bowl.

During Hathaway’s career, he has always made the academic success of student-athletes a top priority. Connecticut consistently maintained a 99 percent academic retention rate among its student-athletes. The National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS) saluted UConn 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 studentathletes in earning their college degree. At the time Hathaway left Connecticut, the athletic department had raised over $71 million towards the University’s capital campaign –more than any other single unit at the University.

Hathaway was also responsible for negotiating several key revenue and partnership agreements with IMG (over $80 million) and NIKE (over $46 million) while also securing major fundraising gifts.

During Hathaway’s tenure at Colorado State (2001-03) he was an extremely successful fundraiser. The school drew national attention for a $15.2 million gift for football stadium renovations and expansion. The football team won the Mountain West championship and advanced to two bowls games, while men’s basketball won the conference tournament going to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 13 years, along with championships and NCAA Tournament appearances in other sports. Hathaway worked in the University of Maryland athletic department between 1982 and 1990 in a variety of administrative roles.

Hathaway earned his degree in athletic administration from Maryland in 1981. He later received a master’s degree in general administration from Maryland and has completed additional graduate school courses in UConn’s Department of Educational Leadership. He has completed executive education programs at Harvard University’s Management Development Program in the Graduate School of Education and The Sports Management Institute, which is a consortium of Notre Dame, Southern California and UNC. Hathaway and his wife, Paula, have two adult children – Meghan and Michael.

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 academic advisors as well as the studentathlete services staff. A large computer lab with printer access for use by Hofstra studentathletes, a quiet study area with wireless internet access and two group study/tutor rooms with power point access and white boards are also available.

SPORTS MEDICINE/ATHLETIC TRAINING

T

hrough a comprehensive athletic training program, Hofstra University student-athletes are provided excellent health care during their time at the University. A coordinated effort between the University Health and Wellness Center, the Athletic Department and outside health care providers ensures every student-athlete the best medical attention possible.

University student-athletes have direct access to a myriad of health care services. Managing the coverage of every practice and competition event is Hofstra University’s Athletic Training staff, which is led by Head Athletic Trainer Evan Malings and features six full-time athletic trainers and numerous student athletic trainers. The athletic trainers provide injury management, rehabilitation and treatment to the entire Athletic program. Utilizing three state-of-the-art athletic training rooms, these professionals work tirelessly to ensure the safe participation of Hofstra’s studentathletes and to return injured athletes to play quickly and safely.

Supporting the athletic trainers is team physician Dr. Brian Daniels and team orthopedist Dr. Michael Schwartz and their team at Pro Health Care, Inc. Physical therapists Roger Gerland and Brian Krebs of STARS of North Shore-LIJ Health System also aid in Hofstra’s student-athlete care.

Hofstra University sponsors a fully accredited, highly competitive undergraduate degree program for athletic training majors, in which Hofstra student athletic trainers participate in all aspects of the health care system.

The Mack Sports Complex includes full-chair back seating for spectators in an arena configuration. The air-conditioned facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art electronic scoreboard, men’s and women’s locker rooms, a media room, an athletic training room, a large weight room, dressing rooms for stage events, four concession stands, five ticket windows, six luxury boxes and offices for Hofstra’s athletic administration and basketball staffs.

In October 2012 the debate between President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney was held in the Mack Sorts Complex, marking the second presidential debate held in the building. In October 2008 the Mack Sports Complex hosted the third and final debate between presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain.

INDIVIDUAL EIWA CHAMPIONS

BY SCHOOL

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 112th 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 last two, joined the highly-competitive academic and athletic EIWA in 2013-14. The Pride had 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. 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.

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, Army West Point, and the United States Naval Academy; Northeast Conference (NEC) member Sacred Heart University; Centennial Conference member Franklin and Marshall, which wrestles on the Division I level; and former CAA wrestling members Hofstra University, Drexel University and Binghamton University.

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. Princeton University will host this year’s 2016 EIWA Championships on March 5-6. Lehigh has won more EIWA titles (34) than any other school, including a string of five in a row from 2002-2006.

The Big Red of Cornell has captured nine consecutive EIWA championships. Columbia and Pennsylvania have each competed in 111 EIWA Championship Tournaments with Princeton (109), Cornell (107) and Lehigh (103) close behind. Lehigh has won 34 team titles while Cornell has captured 23.

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 Hofstra’s current head coach, Tom Ryan, while he attended Iowa.

The wrestling program continued to develop under Getchell’s direction.

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.)

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

HISTORY OF HOFSTRA WRESTLING

2008 CAA CHAMPIONS 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.

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 200001 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 four-time 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 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

HISTORY OF HOFSTRA WRESTLING 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.

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.

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 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

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 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 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 a 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.

A new era began in 2014-15 when Hofstra alumnus Dennis Papadatos was named the 12th head wrestling coach in the program’s history in August, 2014. His first season featured an added emphasis on commitment and dedication, both on the mat and off. While the Pride recorded five victories there were numerous team and individual highlights during the season including a second-place finish at the New York State Championships with three individual champions in Jamel Hudson at 141, Cody Ruggirello at 149 and Michael Hughes at 285.

Hofstra placed 13th in the EIWA Championships and two wrestlers, Hudson and Ruggirello, qualified and competed in the NCAA Championships in St. Louis.

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.

MIKE HUGHES

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 2015 recipient of the Ray Downey Scholarship Award was Michael Hughes from Smithtown, New York.
