HEAD BASEBALL COACH JOHN RUSSO
J
ohn Russo is in his eighth season on the Hofstra Baseball staff in 2016 and his fifth as head coach. He is the 14th head coach in program history and was tabbed to lead the Hofstra Baseball program on May 6, 2012, after serving as interim head coach since January 2012. In his four seasons at the helm of the Pride program, Russo has coached the team to a 99-102 record and has seen five players signed by Major League Baseball teams, including two that were drafted. Senior Danny Poma was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks organization in the 10th-round of the 2012 MLB Draft, while junior Bryan Verbitsky was a third round selection of the San Diego Padres in the 2013 Draft. In addition, junior Matt Reistetter and 2012 graduate Kevin Flynn signed with the Washington Nationals organization as free agents in 2013, while Matt Ford signed with the Tampa Bay Rays after graduating in 2014.
Russo ranks fourth all-time in coaching victories at Hofstra and is fifth in winning percentage entering the 2016 season. In 2015 the Pride set a new team record for fielding percentage at .970, leading the Colonial Athletic Association for the first time in program history. Freshman Steven Foster earned a spot on the CAA All-Rookie team after ranking fifth in the league in batting. The Pride posted a 20-win season in 2014 and the team set a new benchmark for ERA in a season at 4.89 and tied the then-team record for fielding percentage at .968. Ford earned his second CAA Defensive Player of the Year Award and was one of five Pride players selected to All-CAA teams. Hofstra won 26 games in 2013, tying for the third most victories in program history. The Pride pitching staff set a new team record for strikeouts with 365 and junior Brett Schreiber’s 2.48 ERA set a new single season benchmark. In 2012 Russo led the team to a school record 34 wins and the #2 seed in the Colonial Athletic Association Championship with a 20-10 conference mark. In addition to the team’s 34 wins, the Pride set seven other team records including runs (447), hits (669), doubles (145), stolen bases (157), ERA (5.37), strikeouts (349) and double plays (65).

2016 OUTLOOK
A
s the Hofstra Baseball team enters 2016, fifth-year Head Coach John Russo is excited about his team’s chances this season. The Pride will be looking for their first CAA Championship appearance since 2012 and will rely on a strong returning cast as well as many talented newcomers, both on the field and in the dugout. The Pride returns six position players, 10 pitchers and three red-shirts from last season, and welcomes 13 newcomers, including several who will have the chance to make an immediate impact. But new players are not the only reason for excitement as three new assistant coaches have joined the staff l of the including former Major League Baseball pitcher John Habyan as pitching coach. Tyler Kavanaugh, who was on the staff of two NCAA Regional teams at Sacred Heart, will serve as the new hitting coach, while Ron McKay, a respected veteran coach on Long Island, is the volunteer assistant and will coach the infield. The three new coaches have brought new ideas and have helped instill a new mindset in the players, one that Coach Russo hopes will lead to an improvement on the field.
BRAD WITKOWSKI
Here is a look at the Pride by position:
INFIELD The left side of the infield will be manned by a pair of returnees in red-shirt junior David Leiderman at third and junior Brad Witkowski at shortstop. Leiderman led the Pride in RBIs last season with 29 and added eight doubles and a .277 average in 47 starts. He also improved on his defense and cut his error total (6) in half from 2014. Witkowski will slide to short, his natural position, from second base following the graduation of Dalton Rouleau. Witkowski has been a .300 hitter
in each of his first two seasons and is coming off a 2015 that saw him compile a .312 average, eight doubles, two triples, 10 stolen bases and 22 RBIs. DAVID LEIDERMAN
A pair of newcomers will take over on the right side of the infield as freshman Tom Archer will start at second base. Archer played at St. John the Baptist High School on Long Island and was a two-time allleague selection for the Cougars, who were coached by John Habyan. Graduate student Ryan Karl, a transfer from Cornell University, will see a great deal of action at first base but will also be used in a utility role. Karl adds a veteran presence to the Pride and will also bat in the middle of the order. In two years at Cornell Karl slammed 16 doubles and 11 home runs, and drove in 50 runs. Red-shirt freshman Nick Bottari, who will see action at first, catcher and designated hitter, will be a regular in the lineup. A transfer from Miami (FL), Bottari was a Perfect Game All-American in 2012 and a two-time All-New York State selection before spending his senior season at Montverde Academy in Florida, where he batted .380 with 27 RBIs. Red-shirt freshman Max Dolente, an All-Southeastern Pennsylvania third team pick in 2013, could also see action at first base. Freshman Kevin O’Connor will serve as Archer’s understudy at second base after a stellar career at Harborfields High School on Long Island that saw him earn All-New York State accolades as a junior. Classmate Parker Quinn will back-up Leiderman at third base. A 40th-round selection by the Washington Nationals in the 2015 MLB Draft, Quinn batted .310 as a senior at The Benjamin School in Florida and was a senior all-star selection. Quinn can also see time at first

base. Freshman Nick Tedesco could also see a role in the infield after earning all-league accolades at Sachem East High School, where he hit .450 as a senior.
OUTFIELD Returning starters Steven Foster and Mat Annunziata will man centerfield and left field, respectively. Foster, who was named to the Preseason All-CAA team, was a CAA All-Rookie selection in 2015 after leading the Pride with a .351 average, 35 runs and 19 stolen bases. Annunziata hit .245 as a freshman and contributed five home runs and 28 RBIs, which ranked second on the team. Newcomer Teddy Cillis, a transfer from UNCW who sat out last season while attending junior college, will start in right field and will also see action out of the bullpen. A sophomore, Cillis batted .244 in 36 games for the Seahawks in 2014 and added two home runs and 10 RBIs. Freshman Michael Varrone, who batted .368 as a senior at Chaminade High School on Long Island, could also see an outfield role.
CATCHER Freshman Vito Friscia will be the starter behind the plate and provide a power bat in the middle of the Pride’s order. A two-time All-Long Island selection, Friscia won the Power Showcase Home Run Derby in Miami, Florida in 2015 and was an Honorable Mention All-America selection by Perfect Game. Bottari and red-shirt junior Chris Hardardt will also see time behind the plate. Hardardt was a pleasant surprise last season as he batted .326 with six doubles and 10 RBIs in 33 games. He was also solid behind the plate as he threw out 15 of 40 attempted base stealers.
PITCHER Sophomore Chris Weiss and seniors Alec Eisenberg and Bowie Matteson will likely make up the weekend rotation. Weiss was Hofstra’s starting catcher last season and then added a bullpen role midway through the season. He was 0-0 with a 3.57 ERA and a team-

high four saves in 12 appearances on the mound. He pitched well during his stint in summer ball and will get a chance to be the Pride’s number one starter. When he is not pitching, he will likely be utilized in a utility role. Eisenberg led the Pride in wins last season, posting a 5-4 mark with a 5.83 ERA in 12 appearances. He also pitched will during the summer as a member of the Cape Cod Baseball League champion YarmouthDennis Red Sox. Matteson split time between starting and relief work in 2015 and posted a 2-3 record, a 6.04 ERA and three saves in 13 appearances.
CHRIS WEISS
2016 OUTLOOK Freshman Andrew Mundy, sophomore Adam Heidenfelder and senior Chris Bonk will also be part of the starting rotation. Mundy, who pitched for Habyan at St. John the Baptist High School, was 5-1 with a sub-2.00 ERA as a senior. Heidenfelder made 13 appearances as a freshman including eight starts. He did not record a win, but the twotime Diamond Award winner as the top pitcher in Nassau County has all the tools to turn things around in his second season. Bonk started opening night at UCLA in 2015 and was 3-5 with 31 strikeouts in 48 innings of work over 13 appearances. The Hofstra bullpen boasts several talented arms – returnees Brendan Mulligan, Dave Jesch, Adam Seibert, Kieran Ryan, Patrick Bryant and Matt Weissheier, and newcomers John Rooney, Zach Altieri, Jake Bufo, Alex Cosenza and Cillis.
BRENDAN MULLIGAN
Mulligan, a fifth-year senior, saw action in a variety of relief roles last season, including closer, and turned in a 1-2 record, three saves and a 4.40 ERA in a team-high 22 appearances. The side-arming left-hander held opponents to a .221 average and will once again be a versatile performer out of the pen for the Pride in 2016. Jesch, also a fifth-year senior, is coming back from injury and will be eased back into action. Jesch owns a 9-4 career record and as he builds up his arm strength he could slide back into the starting rotation. Seibert, a sophomore, was 2-0 with a 5.23 ERA in 16 appearances as a freshman, while Ryan did not have a decision in nine appearances during his sophomore campaign. Bryant, a sophomore, was 1-1 in 13 appearances in his first season. Weissheier, a red-shirt sophomore, made 14 appearances in 2015 without recording a decision. Rooney, Altieri, Bufo, Cillis and Cosenza give the Pride six left-handed pitchers in the pen. Rooney was a two-time New York State Player of the Year at Hoosic Valley High School, where he was 35-0 during his scholastic career. Altieri was an Honorable Mention All-America choice by Perfect Game and an All-Cape Atlantic League selection at Ocean City High School in New Jersey. Bufo was selected to the All-Southeastern Pennsylvania selection as a senior at Conestoga High School after posting a 7-1 record and a 0.77 ERA. Cosenza red-shirted last season and is coming back from injury. He was an All-New York State pick at Massapequa High School. Cillis, who could be in line to serve as the Pride’s closer, did not record a decision in six appearances for UNCW in 2014.

JEFFREY A. HATHAWAY 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 Athletic Director 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 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 more than 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 Connecticut 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 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 student-athletes 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. A graduate of DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, MD, Hathaway was recognized in October 2015 with the school’s Distinguished Alumnus Award as well as an induction into the DeMatha Catholic Hall of Fame. Hathaway and his wife, Paula, have two adult children – Meghan and Michael.

UNIVERSITY FIELD
T
he Pride call University Field, located on Hofstra’s North Campus, their home. University Field is centrally located between two of the most frequented sites on campus, the Hofstra Fitness Center and the Mack Sports Complex. It is also just 25 yards from the Colonial Square residential complex. University Field has undergone major renovations in recent years. Following the 2013 season, the entire infield turf was replaced. The new surface features turf around the bases rather than dirt, which is a change from the previous infield. The chain link backstop was also replaced by netting that will enhance the view for spectators. In 2011 the fences were moved back and raised in certain places. In 2010 the Quinn Family Grandstand was constructed behind home plate. The 400-seat grandstand was made possible by the leadership and generosity of Hofstra baseball alumnus Bruce Quinn, class of 1986. It features chair-back seating, two entrance ramps, handicap-accessible seating and a press box. New fences were installed along the right field and left field lines, and in 2006 the field received a new scoreboard in right centerfield. During the summer of 2004, the warning track was resurfaced with crushed gravel for better playability and drainage. In 2003 the existing dugouts were replaced with sunken dugouts, measuring 70 feet in length, with protective fencing. University Field has dimensions of 322 feet down the left field line, 382 to center field and 337 down the right field line. The fence in center field is 30-feet high, while the rest of the outfield fence is 20-feet high.

THE COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
T
he Colonial Athletic Association has established itself as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences both athletically and academically for more than 30 years. 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 15 national team champions in four 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 2014-15, nearly 2,100 of the league’s 4,000 student-athletes 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 36 teams in 17 different sports receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards based on the latest Academic Progress Report released in 2015. 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 2014-15, 23 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 39 student-athletes received All-America 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 decade. 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 10 years, including four of the last six. The conference has had five or more teams compete in postseason play in five of the last seven seasons. In women’s basketball, CAA champion James Madison made its fourth trip to the NCAA Tournament in the last six years and recorded its 10th consecutive postseason appearance. 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 recorded 23 victories in postseason play over the past four years. The conference also excels in many other sports. The CAA sent multiple teams to the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship for the fifth straight year and each current member of the conference has reached the NCAA Tournament since 2006. A pair of CAA softball teams (Hofstra and James Madison) earned NCAA Tournament berths for the third year in a row, with the Dukes seeded #15 nationally in 2015. The Pride advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals in 2012. In baseball, UNCW and College of Charleston both received #2 seeds and advanced to the finals of their respective NCAA Regionals. The Cougars reached the NCAA Super Regionals in 2014. William & Mary’s women’s cross country squad finished 17th at the 2014 NCAA Championship. Tribe junior Emily Stites earned All-America accolades in cross country and track and field, while Elon’s Luis Vargas became the Phoenix’s first cross country All-American. 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 eight 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 11 of the last 13 Major League Baseball drafts. The conference also had individuals earn All-America honors in field hockey, men’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s lacrosse, softball and baseball 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. The Alliance has enabled hundreds of students to showcase their research in the annual Undergraduate Research Conference and Journal, facilitated leadership exchanges to promote professional development, developed an academic resource sharing program to support student athletes, and created opportunities for institutions to partner on a wide range of initiatives that enhance student success. CAA schools are also very active in community service projects. The CAA Blood Challenge, which is held each fall, has raised more than 40,000 units of blood over the past 13 years. The CAA Food Drive Challenge, which is held each spring, has resulted in over 18,000 pounds of donated food and $7,000 in cash contributions in only two years. 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 Baseball program is extremely active in the Long Island community, lending itself to a variety of charitable and educational causes.
On the educational side, team members are frequent participants in reading day initiatives at local elementary schools and have taken part in Biography Day at Northside Elementary School in Levittown. Team members were interviewed by fourth-grade students, who in turn wrote a biography on the player they were paired with. The Pride takes part in the Shake-a-Rake program, sponsored by the Office of Off-Campus Living and Commuting Student Services. Student-athletes visited homes in the Hempstead and Uniondale communities to provide yard work assistance to elderly and disabled residents. Team members have assisted at the annual Long Island Children’s Museum Ghostly Gala, a Halloweenthemed event. Last season, Hofstra partnered with Team Impact to host a very special player “draft”, selecting 6-year old Sal Trotta and his 4-year old brother, Vincent, and making them honorary members of the Pride. The boys received Hofstra Baseball hats and personalized t-shirt jerseys, and then signed agreements that made them honorary team members. Sal Trotta was diagnosed with AcuteLymphoblastic Leukemia, the most common form of blood cancer found in children, in 2014. He is in remission but must receive chemotherapy treatments regularly until 2017. Vincent is Sal’s best friend and greatest supporter. The team hosted 12-year old Timothy Mui in 2015 to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Timothy is a participant in the Nassau County Games for the Physically Challenged. Members of the Pride take part in sports clinics with the Let All The Children Play Foundation, conducting drills and games that stressed the importance of exercise, teamwork and, most importantly, having fun through sports. The team is actively involved with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program and the Long Island Special Olympics, holding clinics to teach the game and to spend time with each group. The team has also worked with the Floral Park Youth Council in conducting baseball clinics. The Pride has visited the 1in9 Cancer Facility, in Hewlett, New York, and helped in a variety of ways, including raking leaves, cleaning up the grounds, moving boxes and helping to organize items in an effort to help to make the facility, which hosts daily meeting for cancer patients, more accessible. The team has also raised money for and participated in the American Cancer Society’s Walk for a Cure at Jones Beach, as well as lending its support to Long Island Cares food drives. Team members also donate their time to assist at the annual women’s lacrosse tournament to raise funds for the HEADstrong Foundation, which supports cancer research. The team has also been involved in the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation and has visited with patients at the Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Centre, New York. Student-athletes met with several elderly patients in the rehabilitation center of the hospital, conversing with recovering patients and sharing a few stories.
