SENIOR REFLECTIONS

hen we were freshmen, all we heard repeatedly was, “just watch, it goes by faster than you think.” Now that we’re seniors, we know how true that really is. I wish then I had known to cherish every moment, because it truly does go by faster than I could have ever imagined. I am infinitely thankful for the memories and friendships I have made while being a member of the Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team. Through seemingly impossible practices and inexpressible wins, I have had my best friends by my side every step of the way. Being part of the Pride has taught me what it means to be relentless, determined and hard working. I will carry these valuable lessons and priceless memories with me for the rest of my life. Go Pride!
y four years at Hofstra have been amazing. I have learned so much through the different experiences and opportunities I have had on the field and in the classroom. My family, teammates, coaches and athletic trainers have all contributed to my growth in many different ways and I cannot thank them enough for this. I am so grateful for all of the unforgettable memories I have from my four years here, and for the life-long friendships I have formed. I would like to thank my teammates, coaches, parents and everyone else who has supported me in my time at Hofstra. I am proud to be apart of the 2015 class, and am excited to see what the future holds for the six of us.

hen I was younger it had always been a dream of mine to play lacrosse at Hofstra University. I still remember being dropped off my freshman year at Hofstra and my mom telling me, “enjoy these four years because this is where you will meet your best friends for life.” In these past few years I have gained best friends and a second family. Looking back at my time here at Hofstra, I will take away great memories with my amazing teammates for the rest of my life. Through being a part of this amazing lacrosse program, I have learned hard work and dedication can help you reach

SENIOR REFLECTIONS your dreams. I would like to thank my teammates, the Hofstra Lacrosse program and my coaches for everything they have done for me. Before every game I would sit in the locker room and receive a text from my mom saying, “just have fun” and before I stepped on to the field Coach Smith would stop me and say, “just have fun.” They were both right. Each game my teammates and coaches allowed me to enjoy the game that I love so much. I would like to make a shout out to the rest of the seniors - I couldn’t imagine ending my lacrosse career with anyone else. You each have taught me something different that I will take with me for the rest of my life and we have gained friendships that will last for a lifetime.

eflecting back on these four years, I can’t help but feel blessed to have been a part of this team – my second family. It is hard to believe that this remarkable ride is almost over, leaving me with years of memories and unforgettable friendships to carry along with me as I go. I’ll leave this program having learned so much by just being a part of it, and I owe that all to my teammates and coaching staff. So smile at the simple stuff, cause this road isn’t quite long enough. Team. Together. Pride.

riting a “senior reflection” was something I thought I had a lifetime to think about, but here I am, a senior, looking back on freshman year like it was yesterday. It is absolutely crazy how fast these four years at Hofstra have gone, but they are four years that I wouldn’t want to spend anywhere else, with any other group of girls. Because of the friends I have met and the memories we have made – like early morning practices, preseason speed camps and those great times off the field – I can truly say I have become a better person. Lastly, to my fellow seniors – the original six – we’ve made it! I am so grateful for every one of you and the accomplishments we have made together. This entire last year has been filled with reminiscing over old memories, so lets go out there and make this last season another one to remember.
ABBY WILSON remember the first day of freshman year seeing familiar faces, and meeting some for the first time, that I would be spending the next few years with. I didn’t realize at the time that these people would become my family away from home and my best friends. I couldn’t have asked for a better five seniors to spend the last four years with, us being the originals, coming in together from day one. Looking back on my time at Hofstra, I would not change a thing. I have learned what it takes to be successful on and off the field. If it were not for my teammates, my coaches, Bobby and Jimmy, I would not be who I am today. Leaving these days behind is something that I did not know would come so soon. Although I am sad that my lacrosse career is coming to an end, I would not have wanted to spend the past four years anywhere else or with anyone else. I have truly learned something from each and every person along my journey, and I thank everyone who made it possible and who gave me such a great experience that I can take away for a lifetime.

2015 OUTLOOK
F
ollowing two consecutive appearances in the Colonial Athletic Association championship, including a trip the finals in 2013, the Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team is poised to take that next step in 2015. Third-year Head Coach Shannon Smith has a formidable core of returning players and welcomes an equally-talented recruiting class that should hit the ground running and fill several open spots in the Hofstra lineup. Leading the group of returning players are preseason Inside Lacrosse All-American April Iannetta, who was the 2014 CAA Defensive Player of the Year, as well as All-CAA goalkeeper Kelsey Gregerson. The Pride attack features the return of leading scorer and All-CAA selection Brittain Altomare. Here is a position-by-position look at the 2015 Pride:
ATTACK Altomare has led the Pride in scoring in each of her three seasons, and is coming off a season that saw her post 30 goals and a school record 36 assists. She set the school mark for the second time in as many years and led the conference in assists for the second consecutive season. In addition to her scoring prowess, Altomare is counted on to help in other areas as her 62 draw controls and 21 ground balls were second and third, respectively, on the team in 2014.
SAM LENOX
Joining Altomare on the Hofstra attack is sophomore Tiana Parrella, who played in 14 games as a freshman. Parrella scored nine goals in her first season in a Hofstra uniform and will be looked upon to increase that total in 2015. Classmate Morgan Knox is another sophomore that Coach Smith is counting on this season. As a freshman, Knox played in seven games and had one goal. Seniors Sam Lenox and Kaitlin Ayres return and will provide experience and veteran leadership to the position. Lenox started all 18 games in 2014 and was third on the team in scoring with 17 points on 16 goals and one assist. Ayres appeared in one game and tallied one goal. BRITTAIN ALTOMARE
Five newcomers to the team – freshmen Drew Shapiro, Zoe Gomez Katie Kirk and Samantha Torrico and junior Taylor Tabel – will also have the opportunity to carve out playing time on the Hofstra attack. Shapiro was a four-time All-New Hampshire selection at Bedford High School and scored a state record 342 goals during her scholastic career. Gomez was an Under Armour All-American as a senior after tallying 79 goals and 15 assists at Wissahickon High School in Pennsylvania. Kirk was a member of three Suffolk County championship teams at Bay Shore High School, while Torrico joins the Pride from Ward Melville High School on Long Island where she posted 17 goals and eight assists as a senior. Tabel played scholastically at Cortland JuniorSenior High School where she was a four-sport athlete.

2015 OUTLOOK MIDFIELD The Hofstra midfield will be the least experienced segment of the team as juniors Lindsey Alfano and Becky Conto are the lone returnees. Alfano played in 17 games last season and has played in 36 contests during her first two seasons. She posted five goals and one assist in 2014 and also added 11 ground balls, eight caused turnovers and six draw controls. Conto, who was the CAA Rookie of the Year in 2013 after tallying 16 goals, missed all but four games due to injury last season. In her limited time, Conto did score two goals and added two assists. She also had eight draw controls. A healthy Conto gives the Pride another proven offensive threat that will alleviate pressure from Altomare, who scored 20-percent of the Pride’s goals in 2014. Newcomers Carlee Ancona, Amanda Seekamp, Elena Schorr, Shea McAvoy and Jessica Geiersbach will also look to make a mark on the midfield unit. Ancona was a five-year member of the East Islip (NY) lacrosse team and was an All-Suffolk County performer. Seekamp also played lacrosse for five years in high school and was a two-time All-Suffolk County selection at East Hampton High School. She also led the county in assists as a junior. Schorr comes to Hofstra from Medina High School in Ohio where she was a member of two state championship teams. McAvoy played scholastically at Ward Melville High School on Long Island and was an all-division pick as a senior. Geiersbach earned All-Suffolk County accolades three times as a member of the lacrosse team at West Babylon (NY) High School.
DEFENSE Iannetta, a two-time league defensive player of the year, returns to anchor an experienced back line that features classmate Abby Wilson and junior Shelby Milne. Iannetta played in all 18 games and led the team with 64 draw controls, and 26 caused turnovers. She also added 34 ground balls to go along with 12 goals and four assists.
Wilson started all 18 games and had 17 ground balls and 19 draw controls. Milne, who was a CAA All-Rookie selection in 2013, started 10 of 16 games and posted 13 ground balls and 10 caused turnovers. The trio of returnees will be pushed by sophomore Audrey Byrd and freshmen Grayson Corbett and Carolyn Carrera. Byrd was a member of the team in 2014, but did not see any game action. Corbett was a two-time All-Howard County first team selection at Wilde Lake High School in Maryland. An offensive player in high school who scored 277 career goals, she will be shifting to the defensive end as a collegian. Carrera, who is also a member of the Pride Women’s Soccer team, was a two-time Brine High School All-America selection at Riverhead High School.

2015 OUTLOOK APRIL IANNETTA
ABBY WILSON
GOALKEEPER Gregerson has become one of the top keepers in the country and will look to improve on her league-best 7.93 goals against average and .500 save percentage from 2014. She ranked fourth in the nation in save percentage and was eighth in goals against average. Sophomore Alexis Greene, who saw action in one game last season, will once again serve as the understudy to Gregerson. In her one appearance, Greene made two saves in just more than 11 minutes of action.
SCHEDULE The Pride will face a formidable schedule in 2015 as five of their 16 opponents – Maryland, Johns Hopkins, Ohio State, Towson and Stony Brook – advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2014. In addition, nine of the teams on the schedule won at least 10 games a season ago. The highlight of the schedule will be a visit to Hempstead from defending National Champion Maryland on February 28. The Terps captured their 12th national title last May with a 15-12 victory over Syracuse.
KELSEY GREGERSON
The Pride will also travel to Columbus, Ohio, for a meeting with Ohio State and will host both Johns Hopkins and Stony Brook. When Johns Hopkins visits Hofstra on March 8 it will be the first trip to Hempstead for the Blue Jays since the two squads faced each other in the 2007 NCAA Tournament at James M. Shuart Stadium. The Stony Brook contest will be the first meeting between the schools since a 17-7 Hofstra victory in 2010. The Seawolves are coming off a 17-win season and a trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

MARGIOTTA HALL
O
pened in 1992, Margiotta Hall, a magnificent three-story, 22,500-square-foot building, is a centerpiece of the Hofstra University Athletics program. The state-of-the-art field house, combined with Hofstra’s 13,000-seat stadium, has created one of the finest facilities in the nation. The facility was named after Joseph M. Margiotta ’50, a former Pride student-athlete and long-time supporter. Margiotta, who founded and served as President of the Hofstra Pride Club for more than 20 years, passed away in November 2008 Margiotta Hall features a 3,500-square-foot weight room on the first floor. The building also contains locker rooms for men’s lacrosse and women’s lacrosse, all of which have undergone major renovations since 2008. The state-of-theart athletic training room, also located on the first floor, has hydrotherapy and electrotherapy areas, cardiovascular and isokinetic equipment, as well as taping areas, a rehabilitation area, an aerobics room, and athletic trainer and physician offices. On the second floor, an attractive multi-purpose room, enclosed by a glass wall, provides a panoramic view of
James M. Shuart Stadium. Meetings and receptions for alumni, parents and friends of the Hofstra Athletic program are held in this area. Located on this level are the offices for the men and women’s lacrosse coaching staffs. The lacrosse office was the benefit of a major renovation project in 2008. The offices are equipped with video equipment, a 12-seat theater with stadium seating for group film and meeting sessions, as well as a viewing room with hardwood flooring and a 50-inch flat screen television that overlooks the field. In 2010 Margiotta Hall was the recipient of a “Traditions Project” that provides a sense of history of the lacrosse programs. The walls of the second floor of Margiotta Hall contain pictures and brief text descriptions of the key moments and people in Hofstra Lacrosse history. The project was made possible through the generosity of former lacrosse All-American James C. Metzger ’83. The lower level of Margiotta Hall contains a 178-seat theater, additional meeting rooms and an indoor golf training facility.

JAMES M. SHUART STADIUM/INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY
O
riginally opened in 1963 as Hofstra Stadium and renamed James M. Shuart Stadium in August 2002, the facility serves as the home to Hofstra’s lacrosse teams.
Named after the former Hofstra President, who played football and lacrosse during his undergraduate days at Hofstra, James M. Shuart Stadium has served as the host for the NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Championship Quarterfinals and first round games in the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse Championships, numerous conference championship contests, the Long Island All-Star Football Game, the Fun City Bowl featuring the New York City Police and Fire Department teams, the Empire Challenge Football Game between Long Island and New York City, and various Long Island high school and New York state championship games. The stadium also served as a home for the Long Island Rough Riders of professional soccer’s A-League. In addition to Hofstra, the Long Island Lizards of Major League Lacrosse and the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League call James M. Shuart Stadium home. In 1968 the stadium became the third college facility in the nation to install an artificial playing surface. James M. Shuart Stadium underwent a major renovation and expansion that was completed in the fall of 1996, making the facility into one of the premier complexes in the Northeast. The project included the expansion of the seating capacity from 7,000 to 13,000; the creation of the Howdy Myers Pavilion in the southeast corner of the stadium; and the installation of scoreboards in both end zones. The renovation transformed James M. Shuart Stadium into the largest outdoor sports and entertainment complex on Long Island. In 2007 the artificial turf at James M. Shuart Stadium was replaced with FieldTurf, then in 2009 new scoreboards were installed in the north and south end zones. In 2012 the existing FieldTurf was replaced by the new FieldTurf Revolution playing surface. The largest crowds in James M. Shuart Stadium history occurred during the hosting of the NCAA Lacrosse Quarterfinals. A stadium record of 13,519 people, the largest-ever lacrosse crowd on Long Island, were in attendance for the 2014 NCAA Quarterfinals. A crowd of 13,447 people witnessed the 2011 NCAA Quarterfinals, while 12,292 fans witnessed the 1999 NCAA Quarterfinals featuring Hofstra versus Johns Hopkins. In 2009 11,292 fans were present and 10,510 fans attended the 2001 quarterfinals that featured Hofstra against Syracuse.

THE COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
T
he Colonial Athletic Association, which has built a reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences both athletically and academically, celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2014-15. The CAA encompasses many of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Charleston, S.C. The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 13 national players of the year, 12 national coaches of the year and 13 Honda Award winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 24 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2013-14, nearly 2,000 of the league’s 4,000 studentathletes received the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport. The conference had 30 teams in 18 different sports receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards based on the latest Academic Progress Report released in 2014. The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes several of the nation’s top media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (7), Washington, D.C. (8) and Baltimore (27). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 19 million. The CAA conducts championships in 22 sports. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis and track & field. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. In 2013-14, 22 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 40 student-athletes received AllAmerica honors in 14 different sports. The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with two teams – George Mason (2006) and VCU (2011) – advancing to the NCAA Final Four over the past eight years. CAA teams have combined to win 43 games in postseason play since 2006, including 14 victories in the NCAA Tournament. The CAA has posted at least one NCAA Tournament win in six of the past nine years, including four of the last five. The conference has seen five or more teams reach postseason play in four of the last six seasons.
CAA schools are also very active in community service projects. The CAA Blood Challenge, which is held each fall, has raised nearly 40,000 units of blood over the past 12 years. The CAA Food Drive Challenge last winter resulted in over 9,500 pounds of donated food and $2,700 in cash. In women’s basketball, CAA champion James Madison made its ninth consecutive postseason appearance and knocked off Gonzaga in the first round of last year’s NCAA Tournament. In 2013, Delaware became the 12th CAA team to reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament and Drexel captured the WNIT championship with a 46-43 victory over Utah. CAA teams have gone 23-12 in postseason play over the past three years. The conference also excels in many other sports. Three men’s soccer teams earned NCAA Tournament berths last season and each current member of the conference has reached the NCAA Tournament since 2006. A pair of CAA softball teams (Hofstra and James Madison) reached the NCAA’s for the second year in a row and the Pride advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals in 2012. In baseball, College of Charleston became just the fourth No. 4 seed to advance to the NCAA Super Regionals and was the first CAA squad to accomplish that feat since 2001. CAA squads have combined to win 10 field hockey national titles since the championship began in 1981. At least two women’s soccer teams have reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament three times in the past seven years. William & Mary’s women’s cross country squad finished 12th in the 2013 NCAA Championship, while the Tribe men’s team has made the NCAA’s in 12 of the past 15 years. Delaware and Towson have each reached the Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship and Drexel advanced to the quarterfinals in 2014. The CAA has had at least 11 players selected in 10 of the last 12 Major League Baseball drafts. The conference also had individuals earn All-America honors in volleyball, track and field and swimming & diving last season and had players nationally ranked in tennis and golf. CAA member institutions are committed to excellence in the classroom. The Colonial Academic Alliance was created in 2002 by the league’s presidents with a goal of expanding their partnership to all aspects of university education and life outside of intercollegiate athletics. Programs established include an undergraduate research conference, coordination of study abroad programs, visiting faculty programs and a recent partnership with NBC Learn to provide educational videos to over 8,500 public schools across the United States.

Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. The conference traces its roots back to 1983 when two of its current members- James Madison University and the College of William and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, George Mason University, the United States Naval Academy and the University of Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC South). During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquired two new members (the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and American University) and decided to form a new conference. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985. Old Dominion University joined the CAA in 1991 and was followed by Virginia Commonwealth University in 1995. The conference added the University of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra University and Towson University in 2001. Georgia State University and Northeastern University became members of the conference in 2005. College of Charleston began its first year as a CAA member in 2013 and Elon University joined the conference on July 1, 2014.

HOFSTRA IN THE COMMUNITY
T
he Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team lends a great deal of time to the Long Island community.
This past holiday season the Pride participated in Holiday Magic, a program that Men’s Lacrosse Coach Seth Tierney initiated while he was at Johns Hopkins and brought with him to Hofstra. The team helped collect, wrap and distribute toys to underprivileged children, providing a bit of joy to those in need. Hofstra is also actively involved in the fight against blood cancer through the HEADstrong Foundation, which was founded by Nick Colleluori before his passing as a result of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The team has raised awareness and a great deal of funds through the sales of “Relentless” t-shirts and lime green shoelaces. Each year the team hosts the Nick Colleluori Classic at James M. Shuart Stadium. The event features a full-day of games and serves as a fundraiser for the HEADstrong Foundation. The team has also been involved with Surfer’s Healing, which is an organization that teaches children with autism how to surf, along with other activities. Women’s Lacrosse studentathletes assisted with serving food as well as interacting with the children. The team has taken part in the Tunnel to Towers Run to benefit the Stephen Siller Foundation. Siller was a firefighter, who lost his life on September 11, 2001. The run follows the path he took from the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers that day. The team is also involved with a variety of initiatives with Hofstra’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), including reading programs at local schools, the Special Olympics, Long Island Cares Holiday food drives, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island Toy and Coat Drives and the Shake-ARake event that assists elderly and disabled community members with yard cleanups. The team has also joined with the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation and is involved with physical fitness programs at local elementary schools, charity walk-a-thons, and cooking and serving meals at a local Ronald McDonald House.

HEADstrong
T
he team is quite active in the Nick Colleluori HEADstrong Foundation, which was founded by former Pride men’s lacrosse player Nick Colleluori and raises money and awareness for the treatment of blood cancer. Colleluori started the foundation before succumbing to non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2006. The seventh annual Nick Colleluori Women’s Lacrosse Classic was held September 27, 2014, at Hofstra University and there were 15 teams in this year’s event as Hofstra, Central Connecticut State, LIU Post, Iona, LIU Brooklyn, Stony Brook, Villanova, New York Athletic Club, Adelphi, Siena, Yale, La Salle, Team HEADstrong, Wagner and Massachusetts-Lowell competed in the all-day tournament.
The Colleluori family was on hand sharing their personal experience and progression of their organization with spectators. During the event teams gathered for the inspirational HEADstrong presentation, in which Cheryl Colleluori addressed the players, recognized the coaches that made the event possible and shared her son’s legacy with all in attendance. The HEADstrong Foundation recognized players from each program with the Nicholas Colleluori Award, presented to a player demonstrating leadership, service and a relentless drive for success on an off the playing field. This year, the HEADstrong Foundation also recognized Hofstra Field Hockey alumnus Jillian Geysen ’13, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in early 2014. The Foundation presented her with a check to help defray her medical expenses as well. In its seven years of existence, the Nick Colleluori Women’s Lacrosse Classic has raised more than $200,000 for the HEADstrong Foundation. “We are truly grateful to be so closely related to the HEADstrong Foundation, especially being that Nick was a player here,” said Hofstra Coach Shannon Smith. “Like the Colleluori family, our Pride family will continue carrying on his legacy to do whatever we can do to help people who are battling blood cancers.”
