2008-09 SEASON REVIEW

while her skills as a low post defender gives the Setters a solid all-around threat. Coach Seymour will look for Javadifar to step into a starting role for the Setters in the post.

The 2008-09 season saw the Setters return to one of the top teams in the Northeast-10 Conference as they finished with an 18-11 overall and 13-9 in conference play. Pace would clinch the #5 seed in the NE-10 Tournament, defeating #12 Merrimack College in the opening round before falling to #4 seed American International College in the quarterfinals. The Setters relied on a balanced attack led by Northeast-10 Freshman of the Year Brittany Shields, who led the team in points and rebounds. Shields averaged 14.9 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, finishing second on the Pace freshman record list in both categories. Sophomore Brittany Huggins played a key role off the bench, averaging 11.3 points and 3.5 rebounds for the Setters last season. Junior Laura Mooney was one of the top point guards in the conference, averaging 5.1 assists, finishing third in the NE-10. Mooney also led the Setters in steals with 42 for the year. This season, the Setters return all of their starters from last season as they only lost two players from the 2008-09 squad. Pace adds one new freshman to the mix this season and will look to build on last year’s 18-win campaign. The Setters should have a balanced offensive attack with and solid overall defensive presence Coach Seymour will rely on the growth and experience gained last season by the team’s core players to power the Setters this season. FRONT COURT The Setters return five players and three starters to their front court this season, giving Coach Seymour an experienced group of players. Returning to the Setter frontcourt is senior and tri-captain Taylor Losey, who was third on the team in scoring last season. Losey is a solid all-around player, who can shoot from the outside and also play in the post. She is a good ball handler and her versatility will be a contributing factor to the success of the team this season. Joining Losey in the front court is

BACK COURT

Seniors (L to R) Taylor Losey, Laura Mooney the reigning NE-10 Freshman of the Year Brittany Shields, who led the Setters in scoring last season. Shields is the first Pace player to garner Freshman of the Year honors in the 12 years since Pace joined the NE10. She will play her natural position of power forward this season and look to build off her outstanding first collegiate season. Shields is one of the toughest offensive players in the conference and has solid ball handling skills Junior Kristin Connolly, who comes off a solid sophomore season as she started in all 29 games last year. Connolly connected on 18 trifectas last season, while providing the Setters with consistent defense. Connolly is one of the hardest working players on the season and is a threat to score from three-point range and in the post. She will again be one of the Setters’ captains this season. Brittany Huggins also returns to the Setter front court after leading the Setters in three-pointers as a sophomore. She saw action in all 29 games for Pace, hitting 35 triples and averaging 11 points per game. She worked hard in the off season to improve as a player and is a threat to score from long range on a regular basis. Maral Javadifar is ready to play a key role for the Setters this season. Javadifar comes off a solid freshman season, seeing action in 25 games. She has the ability to score in the post as well as in the perimeter,

Senior Laura Mooney returns to the Setter back court this season after leading the Setters with 5.1 assists, finishing third in the NE10. She enters the season ranked 15th on the Pace all-time assist leader board with 318 and will look to add to that this season. Mooney is a good passer with good court vision and instincts. She will be looked on again to be the floor leader for Coach Seymour’s team this season as she returns as one of the team’s captains. Junior Lisa Welsome is one of the better defenders on the team with the ability to shoot from long range. She has excellent court awareness and will be expected to play a key role in the off guard and small forward positions. Sophomore Carol Johnson will step into a starting role for the Setters this season and is also one of the most improve players from last year. She has incredible quickness and is one of the team’s best on-ball defenders. Johnson’s explosiveness on offense makes her a threat to drive to the basket. Joining the Setters this season is Allison Cleary, who averaged 16 points per game in high school. Cleary was a two-time Section 9 Class A Player of the Year, leading her team to the Final Four as a junior. She will look to make an immediate impact on the Setter lineup as she is a strong, athletic guard. Cleary is an outstanding defender and her ability to play an up-tempo game. Two other newcomers to the Setter this season are Adriana Miller and Kelsey Vallach. Miller is a quick, athletic guard with a tremendous work ethic. Vallach joins the team as a transfer student and is solid fundamental player as well as a hard-worker.

Pace University enters its 13th season as a member of the Northeast-10 Conference. The Northeast-10 is the fifth oldest conference in New England. It is older than the Division I Big East, America East and Northeast Conferences, as well as Division III leagues including the NEWMAC, Little East, Commonwealth Coast, Great Northeast and North Atlantic Conferences. The Northeast-10 Conference consists of 15 teams in which each team plays 22 regular season games against conference opponents. The top four teams earn a “bye” in the first round of the conference playoffs while the #5-#12 seeds compete in playin games to advance to the quarterfinals. The conference’s semifinals and championship game are played at the highest seed of the four semifinal teams. Pace University, American International College, Assumption College, Bentley University, Franklin Pierce University, LeMoyne College, UMass Lowell, Merrimack College, University of New Haven, St. Anselm College, St. Michael’s College, College of St. Rose, Southern Connecticut State University, Southern New University and Stonehill College make up the Northeast10 Conference. The 2001-02 season

24

also marked the first time the same player was named both the conference Player and Defensive Player of the Year - accomplished by Pace’s Wanda Maynard-Morris. The first NE-10 championship game was won by Bentley, 80-65, over Springfield College. Currently in its third decade, the Northeast-10 Conference has established itself as one of the premier all-around NCAA Division II conferences in the nation. The NE-10 is now the second largest Division II conference in the country and is comprised of 15 institutions, six from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, three each from New York and New Hampshire, and one each from Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Founded in 1980 as the Northeast-7, the charter members were American International College, Assumption College, Bentley College, Bryant College, the University of Hartford, Springfield College and Stonehill College. Saint Anselm was admitted to the conference in 1981 and Merrimack joined the fold in 1984, replacing Hartford, now a Division I institution. The conference expanded from eight to 10 teams with the addi-

tion of Quinnipiac and Saint Michael's in 1987. Springfield left the conference for Division III following the completion of the 1994-95 academic year. The conference returned to 10 teams in 1996-97 with the addition of Le Moyne College and then expanded to 11 in 1997-98 with the inclusion of Pace University. In 1998-99, the conference reverted to 10 schools when Quinnipiac shifted its programs to Division I. The NE-10 expanded to 15 institutions beginning with the 2000-01 academic year, however without changing its name. The five new institutions included: Franklin Pierce College (now University), UMass Lowell, Southern New Hampshire University (formerly New Hampshire College), College of Saint Rose and Southern Connecticut State University. In 2008-09, the NE-10 added the University of New Haven to fold and lost Bryant University to Division I. The conference expands once again in 2009-10 as Adelphi University will join as a full member. In addition, the Northeast10 Conference sponsors 20 championships including: men's and women's soccer, field hockey, volleyball, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's cross country, golf, men's and women's basketball, baseball, softball, men's and women's lacrosse, football and men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field.

THE PACE STORY: Pace is a university whose resources have played an essential role in the realization of individual dreams of achievement and whose mission is voiced in its motto: Opportunitas. Founded in 1906 by the Pace brothers as a business school for men and women who aspired to a better life, Pace Institute began its transformation into a modern university, with emphasis on the liberal arts and sciences, under Robert Pace 42 years later. With dynamic leadership and fiscally sound management, Pace has grown into one of the largest universities in New York State, with a multi-million dollar physical plant, an endowment of over $100 million and a reputation for excellent teaching and talented, ambitious graduates. Pace is a comprehensive university with five schools and one college that offers a wide range of academic and professional programs for a large, diverse population of more than 13,000 students in for-credit programs, and in affiliated offerings. Through its Lubin School of Business, Pace continues to build its reputation for excellence in business education. The Lienhard School of Nursing, the School of Law, the School of Education and the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems are more recent responses to the needs of the New York City and Westchester communities for strong professional schools to prepare a well-educated workforce. The University's decision in 1948 to develop a college of arts and sciences as both an autonomous academic unit and a foundation for the undergraduate core curriculum has strengthened and enriched the educational experience of Pace students and provided an ongoing source of intellectual enrichment to the University. The Dyson College of Arts and Sciences is central to the intellectual life of Pace, to shaping academic priorities, and to providing ethical, humanistic and scientific principles upon which lives and careers are founded. At the heart of Pace's academic values is an historic commitment to excellence in teaching, as manifested by small classes, an emphasis on skill development and critical thinking, special tutoring and support services, and academic advising. Academic experiences at Pace emphasize teaching from both a practical and theoretical perspective, drawing upon the expertise of faculty who balance academic preparation with professional experience to bring a unique dynamic to the classroom. While the primary emphasis of the institution is on excellent teaching, the university supports and encourages scholarly activity to ensure the intellectual vitality of the faculty. While much of the work has had professional application, Pace particularly invites scholarship that directly relates to the classroom experience and involves students in the research process. Pace has always had a student-centered focus and is committed to providing access to those who range widely in age, ethnicity, socio-economic background and academic preparation. Increasing amounts of institutional financial aid to help students meet the growing costs of a private education; locations in New York City and Westchester County; evening, weekend and summer scheduling; and special counseling and academic support services are ways in which the university has sought to enhance the accessibility and opportunities of a Pace education. A significant tradition of Pace University is its strong relationship with business, civic and community organizations. Offering special programs and services to neighboring institutions and corporate partners, the university gains strength in return from these partnerships and derives benefits for its students from the networks these linkages provide. The future of Pace University will be shaped by its traditions and values as they respond to the current needs and expectations of today's students. Combining excellence in instruction with personal attention, Pace provides the virtues of the small arts and sciences college with the curricular richness, scholarly disposition and excellent professional programs of the research and comprehensive institution. HISTORY OF PACE UNIVERSITY: Founded in 1906 by the Pace brothers, Homer and Charles, The Pace Institute was a business school for men and women who aspired to a better life. Homer and Charles Pace borrowed $600 to rent a classroom and office in the old Tribune building in lower Manhattan to teach 10 men and three women the principles of accounting and business law. That building once stood where the Pace Plaza building stands today. Two years later, because of the overwhelming success of the Pace School of Accountancy, the Pace brothers relocated classes to

the nearby Hudson Terminal complex. Another move to the Transportation Building at 225 Broadway took place in 1927 in response to continued growth. In 1948, Pace Institute was approved for college status by the New York Board of Regents. Academic expansion forced yet another move to 41 Park Row in 1951, and two years later Pace College received authorization from the State Education Department to grant the bachelor of arts degree. Classes began on the Pleasantville campus in 1963. The year before, the Marks Hall building was signed over to the College by Pace Trustee Wayne Marks, President of General Foods, and his wife, Helen. Soon after, Dyson Hall was constructed, named in honor of alumnus, Trustee and benefactor, Charles H. Dyson. Willcox Hall was named for Trustee and benefactor Byron Willcox. In 1965, the Undergraduate School of Business Administration, the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education were established. The year following, the School of Nursing was founded and was later named after alumnus, Trustee and benefactor Gustav Lienhard. In December 1966, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Civic Center building, Vice President Hubert Humphrey promised to teach at Pace and conducted a Scholar-in-Residence seminar at the New York City campus. Finally, in 1973, the State Education Department approved Pace College's petition for university status. Two years later, the College of White Plains consolidated with Pace University, and the School of Law was established in 1976. The assets of Briarcliff College were acquired in 1977. In the years following, an international education center was opened by IBM Corporation, NYNEX opened a center and the Hastings Center moved its operations to the Briarcliff site. In 1983, the School of Computer Science and Information Systems was established as its own entity. In 1997, Pace purchased the World Trade Institute, a leading-edge provider of international training programs. Pace University today is a diverse institution with over 13,000 students. For 100 years, bright, motivated and talented men and women have walked out of Pace's many doors, degrees in hand, and have ventured into the world prepared for the challenges of each passing decade. Every year, curriculum offerings in schools and colleges are modified to meet the changing needs of ambitious and knowledgeable students. Throughout the years since 1906, Pace has grown along with the talents of those who comprise what is affectionately known as the "Pace community." The Pace tradition is something in which we can all take pride.

MISSION STATEMENT: Pace University is committed to providing the best possible private education to a diverse and talented student body at each Pace University location. The University’s continuous commitment to Opportunitas must be retained, strengthened and, when necessary, redefined in an uncertain world where many are excluded from the full benefits of higher education due to economic and social factors beyond their control. Pace’s sustained emphasis on excellence will be a constant, which will guide decision-making regarding academic programs and other endeavors. In a world of increasing interdependence, Pace must strengthen its international efforts and continue its significant investment in technology. In addition, the University’s commitment to self-evaluation and civic engagement must remain as major goals. All of this must be accomplished during a time of considerable economic change and in the context of strengthening Pace’s own financial base. 35
