2009 season outlook Year after year the goal for the Manhattan College women’s soccer program remains consistent: win the MAAC Championship. According to head coach Sean Driscoll, the 2009 Lady Jaspers are prepared to make a run for the title with the “most experienced senior class” he has had during his five year stint in Riverdale. “There is no better way to describe my goal for this team than to simply say: I want to send this senior class off on the best note possible,” stated Driscoll. “This senior class, along with

had in my 13 years coaching. Passion to compete, exemplary work ethic, incredible talent and wonderfully coachable, each of these players bring their own uniqueness to the position.” Manhattan is hungry for its shot at the hardware after sitting at the doorstep the last two seasons. All 10 teams qualify for this year’s conference tournament, and Manhattan hopes to leave the Sunshine State with the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. “For the past three years, we have finished in the top six of the conference,” explained Driscoll. “I am hoping we can make a push into the top four this season, which will put us in good position at the Tournament.” The Lady Jaspers return 18 letterwinners, including nine starters, and add eight newcomers to a program which posted a winning conference record (43-2) last season.

Kara Bucci

the 2009 graduates, have raised the bar for this program with their athletic talent, positive attitude and success in the classroom.” The Lady Jaspers will rally behind captains Courtney McMahon, Jill Beauchamp and Kara Bucci in a season long journey which culminates in Orlando, Fla. at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex, the site of the 2009 MAAC Championships. The trio enters the campaign with great focus, and aspires to utilize their leadership, combined with their on-field abilities to make program history by winning the program’s first league championship. “This was by far the deepest pool of potential captains we have had in my tenure,” Driscoll expressed. “To that point, it speaks volumes that Courtney, Jill and Kara were chosen by their peers. Individually, they are gifted and collectively I believe they will be one of, if not the, best group of captains I have

Up front, the Lady Jaspers return a high octane offense which finished in the top half of the MAAC in scoring in conference games last season, and peppered opponents with a league-best 16.4 shots per game. The unit will be anchored by 2008 All-MAAC performer Caroline Morse, a pure goal scorer who has tallied 25 points in her first two seasons in Riverdale. Morse has been a clutch performer for the Lady Jaspers with four of her eight career goals serving as game winners. She adds an aggressive attacking dimension to the offense with her abilities to break down opponents and excel in 1-v-1 situations. Megan Lavecchia is also expected to bring firepower to the lineup and will look to build on a successful freshman campaign. A local product from North Rockland High School, Lavecchia earned significant playing time in her first season with the program as she started 14 of 17 appearances. She brings a combination of speed and elusiveness with the ball, which resulted in five points last season, including two goals to lead all Lady Jasper freshmen. Senior Alexandra Konneker and sophomore Kristen Spiros will also be looked upon to contribute to the effort in 2009. Konneker adds veteran leadership to the front after appearing in 53 of 55 games over her first three years. One of the hardest working members on the squad, Konneker uses her speed

2 0 0 9 • M A N H AT TA N C O L L E G E W O M E N ’ S S O C C E R

to create scoring opportunities, which has resulted in seven goals and six assists, to date. Spiros is another scoring threat, especially in the box, because of her ability to finish with both feet. She works well with her back to the goal.

Midfield Manhattan possesses one of the league’s most experienced midfield units highlighted by rising seniors McMahon, Tracey Colantonio, along with junior Marissa Greco. McMahon returns as one of the Lady Jaspers top-scoring threats. In three years with the program, McMahon has started 54 of 55 appearances and ranks in the top-10 of the program’s career points list with 35. Her superior field vision and uncanny ability to feed teammates has made her Manhattan’s all-time assist leader (19), a milestone the Bethel, Conn. native achieved last season prior to receiving All-MAAC First Team honors. Colantonio is once again expected to be a factor in the middle this season. She will be looked upon for her composure and good possession skills to control the tempo. Colantonio utilizes her high work rate to set the tone defensively, but she also possesses the ability to move forward and attack. Over the last two seasons, she has set up five goals, including assists on two game-winners. Greco is another well rounded player on both ends of the field who presents difficulties for opponents. The Long Valley, N.J. native is creative and generates opportunities on offense, and can

Caitlin Trupiano

drop back to make defensive stops. Greco should earn significant minutes, after starting 12 of 15 appearances last season. Also in her second year with the program, Tara Gleason should again split time at the midfield and in the back. As one of the team’s most versatile players, Gleason is a tenacious defender and energetic attacker. Her speed and athletic ability give the Lady Jaspers flexibility in the lineup. Upperclassmen Laura Thurston and Michelle Miyaki are experienced options at the midfield and will compete for playing time. Thurston contributes a strong work ethic and can disrupt opposing teams in the middle. Miyaki’s strong defensive presence goes along well with her solid skills in the air.

has started her last 37. In addition to the significant defensive presence she brings to the field, Beauchamp can also attack the cage well, as reflected with her four career goals. Bucci, a junior co-captain from Newburgh, N.Y., will also help lead the Lady Jaspers from the back. She is a savvy and strong defensive player who is very consistent. Bucci started all 16 appearances last season. Lutz burst onto the scene in 2008 and earned MAAC All-Rookie Team recognition. In 18 matches, including 16 starts, Lutz posted five points, scoring a game winning goal and assisting two game winners. In addition to her great composure and attacking presence, Lutz can cover significant ground hindering the opposition’s offensive efforts. Senior Amanda Fischer will be another asset in the back. After battling through injuries the past two seasons, Fischer looks to return to form as in 2006 when she started 17 of 18 appearances, while scoring 10 points (eight assists & a game winning goal) along the way. Jackie Marchetti and Michelle Djonovic will also compete for playing time. Marchetti returns to the field after suffering a season ending injury last

fall. She is a physical back with good field vision and a strong competitor in the air. Djonovic offers a hard-nosed mentality on the defensive end, to go along with her good attacking ability.

Goalkeeper Upperclassmen Caitlin Trupiano and Alyssa Bachowski, along with freshman Kara Davis will compete for the starting role between the pipes. Trupiano, the most experienced of the three keepers, started the first eight games and notched two shutouts last year before suffering a season-ending injury. Over 24 games during her career, Trupiano has produced a 1.38 goals against average. She is a great shot stopper who possesses wonderful technique in net. Bachowski, an energetic goalie from Garden City, N.Y., started the final 10 contests of the 2008 campaign and notched three shutouts. Bachowski is a good stopper who made 29 saves last season and helped lead the Lady Jaspers to four wins. Davis also enters the goalie mix after a decorated career at Joel Barlow High School in Redding, Conn. She is an explosive keeper with a great vertical leap, who also excels in 1-v-1 situations.

Back Despite the graduation of All-MAAC defender Brittany Duhamel and fellow co-captain Viviane Masters, the Lady Jaspers will rely on Beauchamp, Bucci and Devon Lutz to carry the bulk of work in the back. Beauchamp, a two-time All-MAAC honoree and 2009 Preseason All-MAAC selection, has transformed herself into one of the top center backs in the conference, after coming to Manhattan as a forward three years ago. The Westerly, R.I. native is again expected to serve as the backbone of the Lady Jaspers’ defensive unit. Beauchamp has appeared in 52 matches in her time at Manhattan, and

Devon Lutz 2 0 0 9 • M A N H AT TA N C O L L E G E W O M E N ’ S S O C C E R

Megan Lavecchia

A two-time All-State First Team honoree, Davis helped lead Joel Barlow to the 2008 State Finals earning All-New England recognition for her efforts.

Newcomers The Lady Jaspers welcome eight new faces to the roster who will contribute and add depth at both ends of the field. These eight talented incoming freshmen will help to offset lost productions of last year’s graduating senior class. Erika Boll, a 5-11 forward from Grand Rapids, Mich., is a versatile player who can play either as a target forward or center back. She adds a unique dimension to the Lady Jaspers’ lineup and can have an immediate impact. Boll is a skilled striker in the box who can put goals on the scoreboard. Nicole Landes and Allison Pfeiffer add firepower in the front line, but are also capable to contribute at the midfield. Landes, a four year letter winner and two-time All-Section I honoree from North Rockland High School, offers good speed and top notch technique. Pfeiffer is a creative attacker with good speed who has a knack for scoring goals. The Lady Jaspers will also utilize Kayla Howden up front. A product of Monroe, Conn., Howden tallied 48 goals and 17 assists in her final two seasons at Masuk High School. Howden uses her unique combination of speed, strength and balance to stretch opposing defenses and find the back of the net.

Brittany Egan and Sierra Phelan are additions to the Lady Jaspers deep midfield unit. They each bring a tremendous work rate to the field and can help out immediately. Egan is an explosive, charismatic player with a sharp soccer IQ. She started all four years at Pearl River High School and was named First Team All-League and All-Section I her final three years. Phelan is a savvy player who possesses the ball well. She is a high percentage passer who can break down opposing defenses. In her four years at Conard High School in West Hartford, Conn., Phelan earned All-Central Connecticut Conference honors at the conclusion of each campaign. Sara Jones will help primarily in the back, but can also contribute at the midfield. The California native brings a tough defensive presence to the field which will add depth at the flank. Jones, a multi-sport athlete at Aliso Niguel High School in Aliso Viejo, played club ball with the Slammers Futbol Club of the Coast Soccer Premier League.

Schedule The Lady Jaspers 18-game slate features eight home contests, all to be held on Manhattan’s state-of-theart turf field at Gaelic Park. The 2009 MAAC Championships run from Oct. 29 – Nov. 2 at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla.

2008 Season in Review Under the direction of head coach Sean Driscoll, the 2008 Manhattan College women’s soccer team posted a winning conference record and showed promise for future success. The Lady Jaspers finished 4-3-2 in the MAAC and were led by a core unit of captains in seniors Brittany Duhamel, Viviane Masters, along with juniors Jill Beauchamp and Courtney McMahon, who provided guidance for their achievements on the field and in the classroom. Manhattan got off to a strong start winning three of their first four contests, with the initial two victories coming on the road. The Lady Jaspers opened with a 1-0 thrilling win at Northeastern on Aug. 29. Duhamel delivered the game winning goal in the 31st minute, while junior goalkeeper Caitlin Trupiano anchored the Lady Jaspers shutout effort in the triumph. For her superb play in net, Trupiano was named MAAC Defensive Player of the Week. Manhattan secured its second victory also dramatic fashion as the squad topped Providence in double overtime on Sept. 7. In the 116th minute, senior forward Christine Reina tallied the game winning goal which sent the Lady Jaspers off with just the second victory over a BIG EAST school in program history. The Lady Jaspers opened their conference slate strong by jumping out to a 3-1-1 start, which included wins against Canisius, Rider and Saint Peter’s. Notably, the Lady Jaspers also battled regular-season champion Loyola to a 1-1 tie. Although despite its dominant play early in the MAAC season, Manhattan was edged from the 2008 MAAC Women’s Soccer Championships in the last week of the season for the third straight year. During the campaign, several Lady Jaspers received honors and some rewrote the record books. Reina moved into fourth place all-time on the program’s career points and goals list, after leading Manhattan with five goals and 11 points. McMahon’s two assists in 2008 made the Bethel, Conn. native the Lady Jaspers’ career assist leader in just her third year with the program. At the conclusion of the season, five members of the women’s soccer team received All-MAAC recognition. McMahon highlighted the All-MAAC First Team, while teammates Beauchamp, Duhamel and sophomore Caroline Morse secured All-MAAC Second Team honors. Freshman back Devon Lutz represented the Lady Jaspers on the All-MAAC Rookie Team. Academically the Lady Jaspers shined again. For the second straight year, Manhattan was recognized by the NCAA as it earned a Public Recognition Award for finishing in the top-10 percent of all Division I women’s soccer programs in Academic Progress Rate (APR). Additionally, Manhattan placed 10 student-athletes on the MAAC All-Academic Team. Duhamel and Masters represented the senior class, juniors Beauchamp, Tracey Colantonio, Amanda Fischer, Alexandra Konneker, Jaclyn Levie, McMahon, Laura Thurston and sophomore Kristin Spiros were also honored for their excellence in the classroom. McMahon received one of the most prestigious honors of the season when she was named to the 2008 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District I Third Team. She was one of seven student-athletes from the MAAC to earn this award.

2009-10 MAAC Story With 10 institutions strongly bound by the sound principles of quality and integrity in academics and excellence in athletics, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference is in its 29th year of competition during the 20092010 academic year. The MAAC was founded in 1980 by six charter members: the U.S. Military Academy, Fairfield University, Fordham University, Iona College, Manhattan College and Saint Peter’s College. Competition followed one year later in the fall of 1981 with members competing in the sports of men’s cross country and men’s soccer. On January 2, 1982, Army traveled to Iona for the first MAAC men’s basketball game and the MAAC story had begun. Today, Conference members include: Canisius College, Fairfield University, Iona College, Loyola University Maryland, Manhattan College, Marist College, Niagara University, Rider University, Saint Peter’s College, and Siena College. In addition, associate members the University of Detroit Mercy, Mount St. Mary’s University, Saint Joseph’s University, Virginia Military Institute and Wagner College compete in men’s lacrosse. St. Francis (N.Y.) College, Villanova University and Wagner College are all associate members of the MAAC Women’s Water Polo League. Drake University and Sacred Heart University compete in women’s rowing, while the University at Albany, Boston University and the University of Hartford begin competition in women’s golf this season. The MAAC will support 24 sports and championships during the 2009-2010 academic year. The MAAC Basketball Championships return to the Times Union Center in Albany, New York, for 2010, with Bridgeport’s Arena at Harbor Yard preparing to host the 2011 championship. By having an excellent working relationship with various facilities, the MAAC has been able to attract a number of NCAA Championship events. Most recently, the MAAC, Canisius College and Niagara University successfully hosted the 2004 and 2007 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship First and Second Rounds at the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York. All

three parties will host that event again in 2010. The MAAC and Rider University cohosted the 2009 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship Regional at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, N.J., after recording the third highest attendance figure for the women’s championship with the First and Second Rounds in 2006.

MAAC Associate Sports In June of 1995, the MAAC continued to develop opportunities for student-athletes as the conference announced the formation of the MAAC Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse Leagues. The men’s league began competition in the spring of 1996, while the women’s league commenced in the spring of 1997. The men’s league consists of four MAAC schools -- Canisius, Manhattan, Marist, and Siena – and five associate members – Detroit Mercy, Mount St. Mary’s, Saint Joseph’s, Virginia Military Institute and Wagner. The women’s league consists of MAAC institutions Canisius, Fairfield, Iona, Manhattan, Marist, Niagara and Siena. In 2002, the MAAC added the MAAC Women’s Water Polo League. The league is made up of three MAAC schools – Iona, Marist and Siena – as well as three associate members, St. Francis (N.Y.), Villanova and Wagner. Sacred Heart started participating in MAAC Women’s Rowing in the spring of 2008. Drake University will also join the league for the 2010 MAAC Championship. In the summer of 2009, the MAAC added three associate members – Albany, Boston University and Hartford – to women’s golf, with the programs starting competition against MAAC members Fairfield, Niagara and Siena in 2009-2010.

The other MAAC championships boast their share of outstanding locales as well, such as the fabled Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, where the cross country championships are contested, and Waterfront Park in Trenton, home of the 2008 and 2009 MAAC Baseball Championship. This year, the MAAC will take its women’s soccer championship to Orlando, Florida, where it will conduct its post-season championships at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex.

About Manhattan College cal education in a single collegiate institution. As the school grew, new quarters were needed. The cornerstone of the “New Manhattan” was laid in 1922 on property bordered by the Hudson River and Van Cortlandt Park, its present location. The addition of new buildings and student residences has enlarged and enhanced the campus significantly. From this accessible site, the college is able to offer access to the cultural, educational, business and entertainment opportunities of New York City as well as a self-contained suburban campus environment. Today Manhattan College identifies itself as a Catholic College in the Lasallian tradition. That tradition has continued to characterize the special educational experience offered by the College over its long history. Its constant focus has been the education of the disadvantaged. Manhattan has an enviable record in this regard, albeit engaged in the field of higher Historical Note education.

The Mission of Manhattan College

Manhattan College, overlooking Van Cortlandt Park in Riverdale, is an independent Catholic institution of higher learning which embraces qualified men and women of all faiths, races and ethnic backgrounds. Established in 1853, the College is founded upon the Lasallian tradition of excellence in teaching, respect for individual dignity, and commitment to social justice inspired by the innovator of modern pedagogy, John Baptist de La Salle. The mission of Manhattan College is to provide a contemporary, person-centered educational experience characterized by high academic standards, reflection on faith, values and ethics, and life-long career preparation. This is achieved in two ways: by offering students programs which integrate a broad liberal education with concentration in specific disciplines in the arts and sciences or with professional preparation in business, education and engineering; and by nurturing a caring, pluralistic campus community. The learning experience at Manhattan College is enriched by cooperative programs with other institutions, by postgraduate professional programs and by capitalizing on its location on the edge of the cultural center and global marketplace that is New York City.

Going To School in New York City Often referred to as “the capital of the world”, this is New York City, home to more than eight million people which includes people from more than 180 countries. Spread out over 309 square miles, the city is comprised of five boroughs; Manhattan, Staten Island, Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. The largest city in the United States is the center for world trade and finance and is an international hub for entertainment, advertising, publishing, fashion as well as education. It is home to more Fortune 500 companies than any other place in the United States as well as Wall Street. New York City welcomes a visit from anyone and always offers an exciting experience. You’ll have easy access by subway, bus, or taxi to all of the city’s resources, and you’ll make use of this one-of-akind environment. People are attracted to the city for its culture, energy, and cosmopolitanism. It is a vibrant, fast-paced place to work, study and play. One who is interested in sight seeing can stroll through more than 800 acres of Central Park, or take in a larger view of the city from atop the Empire State Building. Or ride the subway over and take in the neon display of lights in Times Square. Come winter time, you can stop over at Rockefeller Center for some ice skating and a visit to the enormous holiday tree. Maybe a visit to the United Nations, home to the international community, might be in order. New York City is also an area where many television, movies and music projects are produced. Walk around and you might find bump into some of today’s popular celebrities. Grab the ferry over to Liberty Island where the Statue of Liberty still stands and where many immigrants were first welcomed to America from Europe during the late 19th and 20th century. Later on in the day you can catch a comedy act or a musical performance at the many clubs throughout the city. And don’t forget to check out Broadway where there are 38

theatres and more than 150 off-Broadway theatres that offer an abundance of performances that you’ll enjoy. New York City is the place to be for any sports fan. There are the Magic and the Metrostars to quench the thirst of a soccer fan. The Jets and Giants can satisfy any football fan’s appetite. The New York Knicks and Rangers both play at Madison Square Garden. A trip to Queens will get you in to check out the Mets. Here in the Bronx you will quickly find the headquarters of the New York Yankees, a Major League Baseball team with the most World Series Championships in baseball. Count on it, though – that touristy feeling will gradually drop away and you’ll soon come to think of New York City as home turf. Your options are inexhaustible.

The John “Doc” Johnson Athletic Training Center The John “Doc” Johnson Athletic Training Center was dedicated after the 2002-03 academic year to one of the most recognizable personalities in the history of the College, upon his retirement after over 56 years of dedicated service to Manhattan College. A long-time trainer of the New York Giants of the National Football League in addition to his duties in Riverdale, Johnson was conferred with the Diploma of Benefactor by the Brothers of the Christian Schools in 1983 and was elected to the Manhattan College Hall of Fame in 1982.

The National Invitational Tournament/Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association honored him in 2000 with its Distinguished Service Award.

Manhattan College Sports Medicine Sports medicine is an integral part of every collegiate athletics program. Manhattan College employs four certified athletic trainers who work tirelessly to assist student-athletes. While Manhattan’s athletic trainers are essential in the treatment of injuries, even greater value comes from their ability to prevent injuries and ensure that Jasper student-athletes are competing in a safe and healthy environment. In addition to preventing and treating injuries, athletic trainers provide injury rehabilitation, nutritional supervision, strength and conditioning, drug and alcohol education, and general personal health advisement.

What Is A Jasper? The unique nickname of Manhattan College’s athletic teams, the Jaspers, comes from one of the College’s most memorable figures, Brother Jasper of Mary, F.S.C., who served at the College in the late 19th century. One of the greatest achievements of Brother Jasper was that he brought the then little-known sport of baseball to Manhattan College and became the team’s first coach. Since Brother was also the Prefect of Discipline, he supervised the student fans at Manhattan College baseball games while also directing the team itself. During one particularly warm and humid day when Manhattan College was playing a semi-pro

baseball team called the Metropolitans, Brother Jasper noticed the Manhattan students were becoming restless and edgy as Manhattan came to bat in the seventh inning of a close game. To relieve the tension, Brother Jasper called time-out and told the students to stand up and stretch for a few minutes until the game resumed. Since the College annually played the New York Giants in the late 1880’s and into the 1890’s at the old Polo Grounds, the Manhattan College practice of the “seventh inning stretch” spread into the major leagues, where it has now become a time-honored custom practiced by millions of fans annually.
