SENIOR REFLECTIONS

LINDSEY ALFANO

I will forever be in debt to the place that taught me numerous life lessons, shaped me into the best version of myself, and, most importantly, gave me the kinds of friendships that last a lifetime. Being part of a team like ours, is not something you simply graduate from. It is a family you continuously grow with for the rest of your life, and I could not be more thankful for the eternal family I was given. Thank you to my coaches for going the extra mile everyday and being my parents away from home. Thank you to my parents for always being my biggest fans and supporting me in every way possible.

Lastly, the biggest thank you of all goes to the 30 sisters I have been blessed to share the field with each year - thanks for making my experience here one for the books. Team Together Pride.

BECKY CONTO

Looking back at my years at Hofstra I can honestly say I have had an amazing experience.

Everyone always tells you to enjoy it while it lasts because it goes faster than you think - I had no idea how true this was. Coming in as a freshman I thought being a senior was a lifetime away, but now here I am reflecting back to those days when I had no idea where this journey would take me. Throughout my time here at Hofstra I have gained a second family and lifelong friends. We have made many great memories together, on and off of the field. My time at Hofstra and as a member of the women’s lacrosse team can be summed up by two words – life changing. Getting through an unexpected injury with the support of my teammates, coaches and athletic trainers led me to find my career path while growing as a person and preparing me for life after graduation. I would not change a thing about these past four years and I am proud to be part of this great team and grateful for all the experiences Hofstra has given me.

I could write a book on the last four years of my life on and off the lacrosse field at Hofstra.

What I know for sure is, the last four years of my life have been the most hard-working, yet satisfying days I’ve had yet. To the coaches, athletic staff and mentors, thank you for guiding me to become the best person I could become on the lacrosse field, in the classroom and most importantly in life. To my family, friends and teammates, you have seen me on my worst days and stuck through to see me come out on the other side and I am happy I got to spend my very best days with you all. I have come a very long way since my freshman year and none of that would have been possible without you all. I am proud to be a part of the class of 2016 and everything we will become.

My senior year here at Hofstra is something that most people can’t relate to because I am a freshman and a senior at the same time.

Transferring here for my fifth year sort of made me feel as if I was a one-man class coming in in September; however, I never felt isolated. It was easy for me to come in as a “freshman” and become part of a brand new team and process, as well as take on the leadership roles that every senior has. This was because of the welcoming environment of the team and the passion for the team to excel this year and I’m very excited to see what we can accomplish!

2016 OUTLOOK

T

he Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team won 11 games in 2015, claiming the Colonial Athletic Association regular season title and earning a fourth consecutive appearance in the CAA Championship. Senior Brittain Altomare was a third team All-America selection and CAA Player of the Year, while classmate April Iannetta was a CAA first team selection for the third consecutive season. Five other players earned All-CAA accolades and Coach Shannon Smith was the CAA Coach of the Year.

Smith, who is entering her fourth year as coach of the Pride, will be the first to tell you that while the wins and accolades are great, they are in the past. Looking ahead to the 2016 season, in which the Pride was picked fourth in the CAA Preseason Poll, Smith will look to replicate past success but will have to do so without many of the stalwarts of the recent Hofstra teams.

Replacing Altomare, Hofstra’s all-time leader in points, assists and draw controls, and Iannetta, a two-time CAA Defensive Player of the Year, as well Kelsey Gregerson, a three-year starter in goal, and starters Sam Lenox and Abby Wilson, will be difficult but not impossible.

MORGAN KNOX

Coach Smith has six starters returning from last season as well as 11 other players who saw game action. Coupled with a highly touted recruiting class that includes North Carolina transfer Lindsay Scott, the Pride should be able to fill some of the void left by graduation.

Here is a position-by-position look at the 2016 Pride:

ATTACK Scott joins the Pride as a graduate student after tallying 17 goals and five assists during her tenure with the Tar Heels. An All-American out of Yorktown High School, Coach Smith sees Scott as an offensive catalyst for the team in 2016. She will be joined up front by junior Preseason All-CAA selection Tiana Parrella, who enjoyed a breakout season of her own in 2015 by posting 23 goals and 11 assists en route to second team All-CAA accolades. The team’s leading returning scorer, Parrella ranked second to Altomare in goals and assists last season. Junior Morgan Knox, who started five of 17 games and was third on the team in scoring with 21 goals and 11 assists, should be in line for an expanded role on the attack in 2016.

TIANA PARRELLA

Freshmen McKenna Orozco, who scored 24 goals and added 49 assists as a senior at Spalding Academy in Severn, Maryland, and Lexi Lenaghan, who tallied 69 goals, 46 assists and 77 draw controls as a senior at Notre Dame Academy in Hingham, Massachusetts, have impressed the Pride coaches thus far and should be in the mix for playing time. Sophomores Samantha Torrico and Jessica Geiersbach will also look to crack the rotation at attack in their second year with the program. Torrico played in one game last season, while Geiersbach did not see any game action after suffering a knee injury during the preseason.

The attacking midfield will feature four underclassmen in sophomore Zoe Gomez and freshmen Tessa Sinatro, Jenna Budd and Sarah Tappan. Gomez, a high school All-American, had three goals and an assist in seven games as a freshman. Sinatro was an honorable mention All-American as a senior at Conard High School in West Hartford, Connecticut, while Tappan earned Under Armour All-America accolades after scoring 91 goals as a senior at Cape Henlopen High School in Lewes, Delaware. Budd was a five-year letterwinner at East Hampton High School on Long Island.

2016 OUTLOOK

CAROLYN CARRERA

MIDFIELD The Hofstra midfield features six returning players, making it the most experienced unit on the field. The segment is anchored by senior cocaptain Lindsey Alfano, and also features classmate Becky Conto as well as sophomore starters Amanda Seekamp and Carolyn Carrera.

Fellow sophomores Carlee Ancona and Drew Shapiro saw valuable minutes as freshmen and all six student-athletes will play extensively this season.

Alfano, an All-CAA second team selection in 2015 after recording 17 goals, three assists, 14 ground balls, 13 draw controls and 13 caused turnovers, was an Honorable Mention Preseason All-CAA selection heading into the 2016 campaign. Conto posted nine goals and four assists in 15 games last season after returning from an injury-shortened 2014 campaign. The CAA Rookie of the Year in 2013, Conto has proven that she can be an all-around contributor for the Pride.

Seekamp played in all 17 games with 16 starts as a freshman and recorded 15 goals and four assists for 19 points. She ranked fifth on the team in goals and tied for fifth in points, and posted a four-goal performance against top-ranked Maryland. Carrera played more of a defensive-minded role for the Pride as a freshman, tallying 14 ground balls, 11 draw controls and eight caused turnovers in 17 starts. After scoring 173 goals during her scholastic career, taking on an offensive role should not be much of an issue for Carrera.

BECKY CONTO

Ancona played in nine games as a freshman with five starts and had three goals and one assist for four points to go along with seven ground balls, five caused turnovers and four draw controls. Shapiro had three goals and three assists in 13 games (one start) as a freshman.

2016 WOM EN’S LACROSSE • 13

2016 OUTLOOK The defensive midfield will be held down my sophomore Elena Schorr and freshman Jenna Baverman. Schorr played in 10 games as a freshman with one start and had one draw control. Baverman serves as team captain of the U19 Israeli National Team and led Israel with six goals, seven assists, 21 ground balls, 17 caused turnovers and 15 draw controls in seven games at the 2015 World Cup in Scotland. During her final two seasons at Roland Park Country School in Baltimore, Maryland, Baverman recorded 55 caused turnovers and 97 ground balls.

DEFENSE Senior co-captain and Preseason All-CAA selection Shelby Milne leads a six-player defensive unit that features returnees Audrey Byrd, Shea McAvoy and Grayson Corbett as well as freshmen Rachel Gregory and Annalise Martin.

Milne was a second team All-CAA selection in 2015 after tallying one goal, 22 ground balls, 16 caused turnovers and two draw controls on the season. She ranked second on the team in caused turnovers and third in ground balls. Byrd, a redshirt junior, was a CAA All-Rookie Team choice in 2015 after posting 18 ground balls, two draw controls and two caused turnovers in 14 games.

LINDSEY ALFANO

McAvoy slides into a defensive role after picking up a goal, 11 ground balls, two draw controls and four caused turnovers at midfield during her freshman campaign. Corbett posted three ground balls, two caused turnovers and one draw control in nine games as a freshman in 2015.

Gregory and Martin both enjoyed solid scholastic careers at their respective high schools on Long Island. Gregory was a two-time alldivision performer at Babylon High School, while Martin was an AllSuffolk County and all-division pick out of Bayport-Blue Point High School.

GOALKEEPER After three years of Gregerson between the pipes, the Pride will have a new net-minder in 2016. Junior Alexis Greene is the front-runner, but she will be pushed by freshmen Maddie Fields and Sara Guarascio.

SHELBY MILNE

Greene has seen less than 12 minutes of action during her two seasons, though her experience in the program should help her transition into the starters role. Fields played scholastically at Mount de Sales Academy in Catonsville, Maryland, while Guarascio was the 2015 Defensive Most Valuable Player at St. John the Baptist High School in West Islip, New York.

SCHEDULE Another strong schedule has been put together by Coach Smith as it features six games against teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 2015 and seven games against schools that won 10 or more contests a season ago. Hofstra will make a trip to College Park, Maryland, to face the defending National Champion Maryland Terrapins on March 5 to highlight the schedule.

“We are looking forward to the upcoming season,” commented Smith.

“Coming off such a successful season in 2015 we are excited about the opportunities that the 2016 schedule will present for our team. This schedule offers us many challenges that will help our team grow and we know that this slate will assist us in continually moving the Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse program forward.”

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

3 6 • HO FS T R A U N I V E RS I T Y

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.

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, a 178seat theater and additional meeting rooms.

The state-of-the-art 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.

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 lacrosse and football 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.

HOFSTRA INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY The Pride has use of the Hofstra Indoor Practice Facility that formerly was the property of the New York Jets of the National Football League. The 50-yard turf field gives Hofstra a unique environment that many teams in the Northeast do not have. The practice bubble is located on the North Campus, behind the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex.

HOFSTRA IN THE COMMUNITY

T

he Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team lends a great deal of time to the Long Island community.

Each holiday season the Pride participates 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. This past December, each of Hofstra’s 17 athletic teams gathered items for a group of very special children at Winthrop Hospital.

Those items were used to fill shoeboxes with stuffed animals, books, toys and arts and crafts and other items. All of the boxes were wrapped and donated to the Child Life Program to be distributed to children who would be spending the holidays in the hospital. Student-athletes also included very special notes in each box, wishing them well from all of the teams at Hofstra University.

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 takes part in the annual 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.

The Pride also took part in the Yards 4 Yeardley campaign. The event was in support of the One Love Foundation, which looks to bring education and awareness to college campuses regarding domestic violence.

Students from all 17 teams got together and ran more than 1,000,000 yards in just two days to help promote this outstanding campaign.

HEADstrong

T

he team is quite active with the 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-Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2006.

The eighth annual Nick Colleluori Women’s Lacrosse Classic was held September 26, 2015, 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.

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.”

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.

ALUMNAE PROFILES

Name: Raquel Wilson Piraino

Name: Corrine (Gandolfi) Unterstein

Graduation Year: 1996

Graduation Year: 2010

Current Occupation: Physical Education Teacher at Weber Middle School in Port Washington, New York

Current Occupation: Physical Education Teacher

Where Do You Live: Dix Hills, New York Family: Husband, Mike; Son, Mikey (11); Daughter, Jayden (9) Favorite Memory of Hofstra: So many great ones, but the one that stands out the most was my senior year - having an undefeated conference record, going 13-3 and taking the one seed/ winning the conference championship with a sweep and knowing it helped lay the groundwork for the success that Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse continues to have today!

What You Miss Most About Hofstra: The whole entire experience of being a student-athlete, campus/dorm life, being with your friends and competing at a high level playing a sport you love.

Being a collegiate student-athlete is having the opportunities and life experiences that only a select few are lucky to have. I feel so fortunate that I was able to have this at Hofstra!

Where Do You Live: Smithtown, New York Family: Husband, Michael Favorite Memory of Hofstra: Being a part of a team.

What You Miss Most About Hofstra: Competing on the field with my teammates.

ALUMNAE PROFILES

Name: Becky Thorn Graduation Year: 2007 Current Occupation: Physical Education Teacher/Coach at Eastport South Manor Where Do You Live: Ridge, New York Family: Mother, Patricia; Father, Robert; older brother, Charles; sisterin-law Bonnie; nephew, Benjamin; younger brother, Jonathan; sisterin-law, Melissa (they live in Maryland); younger sister, Jessica Favorite Memory of Hofstra: My favorite memory of Hofstra was my fifth year, where we hosted the Colonial Athletic Association Championship and we beat James Madison in the finals!

What You Miss Most About Hofstra: There is a lot I have missed about Hofstra, between the classes I took and the education I received, friends I have made and continue to have, and the experience I gained playing for a top Division I program. The camaraderie amongst my teammates was unbreakable, every practice-every game-even outside of lacrosse and school we all were there for each other when times were tough and when times were worth celebrating.

SHANNON SMITH GIRLS LACROSSE CAMP For girls entering grades 2-12
