ABOUT ROBERT MORRIS UNIVERSITY

Robert Morris University was founded in 1921 in downtown Pittsburgh as the Pittsburgh School of Accountancy. The school’s founder, educator and accountant Andrew Blass, rented classroom space in the Blackstone Building. In 1935, the school’s president, Richard Khuen III, changed the name of the institution to the Robert Morris School of Business in honor of the founding father popularly known as the financier of the American revolution.

After leasing space at several other Pittsburgh locations, including downtown’s famed William Penn Hotel, Robert Morris purchased a building of its own in 1959, the Rust Engineering Building at 600 Fifth Ave. in downtown Pittsburgh. Three years later, Robert Morris acquired the estate of Oliver Kaufmann in Moon in order to build its first residential campus. The first students on campus lived in the Kaufmann mansion, where today sits Massey Hall. A record 2,075 students live at the Moon campus during the 2014-15 academic year. In the fall of 2014, RMU welcomed 867 new freshman students.

In 1961, Robert Morris became a nonprofit institution so that it could become a junior college, a change necessitated by a decision of the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants to require candidates for the CPA exam to earn a college degree. The following year,

the name of the school changed to Robert Morris Junior College, and then in 1969, it became Robert Morris College.

Robert Morris continued to grow throughout the next three decades, expanding to include graduate degree programs and adding more bachelor’s programs as well. In 1977, Robert Morris joined the NCAA Division I for interscholastic athletics.

In 2002, following approval by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the school became

—4— 2 0 1 4 R o b e r t M o rr i s U n i v e r s i t y F OOTB A L L

Robert Morris University. In 2010, RMU sold the Pittsburgh Center – the former Rust building – to Duquesne University. In 2011, Robert Morris opened a new School of Business Building at the Moon campus, and the next year the university unveiled the Wheatley Center for the School of Communications and Information Systems. RMU also offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs at RMU Downtown and select other locations.

RMU FYI n Overall enrollment at RMU has increased 10

percent over the last five years. (5,359 in Fall 2014 vs. 4,889 in Fall 2009) n The university has a 92-percent placement

rate, meaning that 85 percent of students have a job and seven percent are enrolled in graduate schools a year after graduation. Most of those who are employed are working their field of study. n Approximately 93 percent of undergraduate students receive financial aid from RMU.

n Robert Morris offers the only four-year

nuclear medicine technology program in western Pennsylvania, as well as the region’s only bachelor’s degree in manufacturing engineering. n Eighty-two percent of RMU students complete

at least one internship before they graduate, and most of them are paid. n RMU offers the only ABET-accredited

bachelor’s degree in manufacturing engineering in western Pennsylvania.

n The RMU School of Business is accredited

by AACSB International-The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

Only five percent of business schools worldwide share this prestigious designation. n RMU was one of the first 10 universities to be

named a Center of Actuarial Excellence by the Society of Actuaries for its actuarial science program. Currently only 21 universities in North America have earned this designation.

High school students who want to enter RMU’s program must score at least a 650 on the mathematics portion of the SAT. —5— 2 0 1 4 R o b e r t M o rr i s U n i v e r s i t y F OOTB A L L

GREGORY G. DELL’OMO, Ph.D. President of Robert Morris University Gregory G. Dell’Omo, Ph.D., has been president of Robert Morris University since 2005, and quickly developed a clear vision for RMU as a place that provides transformational experiences for students through engaged learning. The university articulated this vision in its 2007 strategic plan, which spelled out RMU’s six core values: academic excellence, professional focus, engaged learning, global perspective, individuals matter, and changing lives. These values are reflected in the university’s increased emphasis during Dell’Omo’s presidency on internationalism in student experiences, faculty research, and academic programs. RMU’s next strategic plan builds on those core values and forges stronger ties between academics and student engagement, with continued emphasis on professional outcomes.

During Dell’Omo’s tenure, Robert Morris’s endowment has grown from $16 million to more than $31 million.

In September 2012, the university completed the first comprehensive capital campaign in its history, raising $41 million, exceeding its goal, and the university has gone on to raise a total of $45 million. The campaign was propelled by yearly increases in annual giving, giving to athletics, and growth in the number of donors who give at least $1,000 annually.

Other achievements include the creation of the Student Engagement Program and Transcript, and an increase in the number of RMU students studying abroad and international students studying at RMU. Under Dell’Omo, the university has added several degree programs and expanded its honors program. In addition, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education reaffirmed the university’s accreditation and the NCAA re-accredited RMU’s Division I athletics program. Other accreditations RMU has earned include AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of

Business; the Teacher Education Accreditation Council; and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.

RMU was one of the first 10 universities named a Center of Actuarial Excellence by the Society of Actuaries.

RMU also has experienced an 18-percent increase in undergraduate enrollment (and an 11-percent increase in total enrollment) while Dell’Omo has been president, with the number of students living on campus – now nearly 60 percent of undergraduate students – having more than doubled. RMU now offers 20 online degree and certificate programs, with approximately 620 students enrolled in online programs, all new since Dell’Omo took office.

Dell’Omo has overseen a transformation of RMU’s 230-acre campus, part of a 20-year master plan.

—7— 2 0 1 4 R o b e r t M o rr i s U n i v e r s i t y F OOTB A L L

Highlights include the construction of new buildings for the School of Business and School of Communications and Information Systems; residence halls, dining and recreational facilities; a nursing simulation laboratory; and the Snee-Reinhardt Charitable Foundation House for Media Arts. RMU renovated and expanded its library and student health center and added a counseling center.

Total university space has increased by 50 percent, from 1 million square feet to 1.5 million square feet. Plans are in place for a new School of Nursing and Health Sciences building to begin construction in 2014-15.

Dell’Omo sits on the boards of the Magee-Women’s Hospital Foundation, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and the Pennsylvania Economy League of Southwestern Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylvania Campus Compact.

He is chair of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania and a member of the Presidents’ Council of the Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education. He is chairman of the Northeast Conference Presidents’ Council and previously represented the Northeast Conference on the NCAA DI Board of Directors.

He is a member of the NCAA’s DI Presidents’ Advisory Group and the Football Championship Subdivision Presidents Council.

Dell’Omo holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Montclair State University, a master’s degree in industrial relations from Rutgers, and a Ph.D. in industrial relations/human resource management from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He earned certifications at Harvard University from the Institute for Education Management and the Seminar for New Presidents. He held previous academic positions at Canisius College and Saint Joseph’s University, where he was dean of the Haub School of Business and then vice president for external affairs.

Director of Athletics At the forefront of RMU’s golden age of intercollegiate athletics is Craig Coleman, M.D., who is in his 10th academic year as Director of Athletics at Robert Morris in 2014-15. He was named to the position Feb. 15, 2005.

Led by Coleman’s guidance, the RMU department of athletics has continued to progress on both a regional and national level.

Robert Morris continued its successful run in 2013-14, as both the women’s basketball and men’s ice hockey teams claimed conference tournament championships en route to appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

The women’s basketball team claimed the 2014 Northeast Conference (NEC) Tournament title to earn an automatic bid to the Big Dance, while the men’s ice hockey squad claimed its first Atlantic Hockey Association (AHA) Tournament title and its inaugural berth in the NCAA Tournament. It marks the first time in program history RMU sent a pair of teams to an NCAA Tournament.

In addition to the success of the women’s basketball and men’s ice hockey programs, the Robert Morris men’s basketball program claimed its second consecutive NEC regular-season championship and subsequent bid to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). In the NIT, the Colonials upset a No. 1 seed for the second straight year with an 89-78 defeat of St. John’s, RMU’s first win against a Big East opponent in school history.

Away from competition, the department of athletics continued to excel in the classroom with Coleman at the helm.

For the second time in three years, Robert Morris claimed the NEC Institutional Academic Award, as student-athletes that competed in 19 sports sponsored by the league combined to post a 3.295 grade point average (GPA), edging out LIU Brooklyn (3.248) and Wagner (3.245). As a department, RMU posted a cumulative team GPA of 3.332 among its 23 Division I programs in 2013-14, with a total of 21 of RMU’s 23 programs finishing with team GPA’s of 3.0 or higher.

The success for the Colonials in 2013-14 is just part of a period of unparalleled growth for the department of athletics under Coleman’s leadership.

In 2013-14, the RMU men’s basketball and softball teams claimed Northeast Conference (NEC) regularseason championships. The RMU men’s basketball squad also became the center of the college basketball universe when it defeated defending national champion Kentucky in the first round of the 2013 National Invitation Tournament (NIT) in front of 3,444 fans at the Charles L. Sewall Center, the largest crowd in school history.

During the 2012-13 campaign, a total of six programs either tied or established new school records for victories, including the men’s basketball program, which

finished with 26 wins and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2012 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT) thanks to road victories over Indiana State and Toledo.

The RMU women’s ice hockey team also claimed its first CHA Tournament championship in 2012. The Colonials snapped Mercyhurst’s streak of nine straight titles thanks to a 3-2 victory over the Lakers in the championship game of the 2012 CHA Tournament at the RMU Island Sports Center.

In 2010, the RMU football team earned the NEC’s inaugural bid to the NCAA Football Championships Subdivision (FCS) Playoffs, the 12th straight year a program from Robert Morris earned an automatic bid in an NCAA Tournament.

In addition, the Robert Morris women’s basketball squad made its inaugural appearance in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT), while the men’s lacrosse program, in just its sixth year of existence, earned its first national ranking by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA).

In his first year as director of athletics in 2005-06, Robert Morris placed a total of nine student-athletes covering six sports on the ESPN The Magazine District II Academic All-America Team, the most in school history.

Coleman has also overseen the development of a new Robert Morris athletics logo and mascot as well as the launching of the official website for RMU athletics at www.RMUColonials.com.

Seven head coaches have been hired by Coleman, including a pair of men’s basketball head coaches in —9— 2 0 1 4 R o b e r t M o rr i s U n i v e r s i t y F OOTB A L L

Mike Rice and Andrew Toole. Also hired by Coleman are Midge McPhail (women’s rowing), Dale Starr (volleyball) and Paul Colontino (women’s ice hockey).

All the while, Coleman has built a winning softball program at Robert Morris over the past 24 years.

During that period, RMU has won seven Northeast Conference regular-season championships and six NEC Tournament titles.

In 2014, Coleman won his 600th career game when the Colonials earned a 10-0 victory in six innings in the first game of a doubleheader split at Mount St. Mary’s April 6, 2014.

Prior to his arrival as head coach in 1991, the Colonials posted just 19 victories in the previous three seasons. During his 24 years as head coach, the Colonials have posted an overall record of 606-522-5 (.537), including a record of 262-109-2 (.705) against NEC foes.

In his first four years as head coach, Coleman guided the Colonials to an overall record of 119-62 (.657) and four conference championships. In 1994, Robert Morris received its first national ranking in school history, regardless of sport, when the Colonials were ranked as high as No. 23 in the USA Today / National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) poll.

Coleman’s success as head softball coach has come not only on the field, but in the classroom, as well. His players include 17 Capital One District II Academic All-Americans, five NEC Scholar-Athletes of the Year for softball and numerous NEC Academic Honor Roll selections.

In the spring of 2011, former Colonial Annie Dubovec (2008-11) became the first female student-athlete in Robert Morris history to be named to the Capital One Academic All-America First Team by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

Under Coleman’s watch, the Colonials finished in the top five in Division I in team GPA five consecutive years from 2009 to 2013 according to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA), including the top mark in 2009, 2010 and 2012. Overall, Robert Morris has finished in the top five of team GPA six times since the 1999-2000 academic year.

Prior to being hired as RMU’s Director of Athletics, Coleman worked as an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine from 1988 to 2005. He served as the Medical Director of several impatient units, residential treatment facilities and partial hospital programs at UPMC. Coleman earned his medical degree from The Pennsylvania State University School of Medicine in Hershey in 1983. In 1979, he earned an undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania.

He is a native of Philadelphia, Pa.

ROBERT MORRIS UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS From its fertile beginning as a men’s basketball junior college powerhouse to one of the most diverse athletic programs in the tri-state area, intercollegiate athletics and success at Robert Morris University go hand-inhand.

RMU offers 16 intercollegiate athletics programs, including the only men’s and women’s Division I ice hockey squads and Division I men’s lacrosse team in the Pittsburgh region.

Over the last 38 years, the Colonials have claimed 40 Northeast Conference regular-season championships and 40 league tournament titles.

A total of 13 of RMU’s intercollegiate athletic programs have earned at least one tournament championship, with men’s basketball and volleyball leading the way with seven NEC Tournament titles each. The RMU women’s ice hockey team earned the 2012 College Hockey America (CHA) Tournament championship, while men’s ice hockey claimed the 2014 Atlantic Hockey Association (AHA) Tournament title.

The Robert Morris men’s basketball program has also claimed 11 regular-season championships, the most in school history, while softball owns seven and football and volleyball have each claimed six.

For the first time in school history in 2013-14, Robert Morris had a pair of programs earn automatic berths to the NCAA Tournament, as both women’s basketball and men’s ice hockey qualified. For women’s basketball, it marked the program’s third NCAA Tournament appearance in eight years, while men’s ice hockey earned its first bid in its 10th year of existence as a Division I program.

In addition in 2013-14, the RMU men’s and women’s

basketball teams each claimed regular-season titles, with the men notching its second straight and the women earning its first since 2010.

The Robert Morris men’s basketball team earned its second straight appearance in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), knocking off a No. 1 seed for the second consecutive year with an 89-78 victory at St. John’s. In the history of the NIT, only four No. 8 seeds have upset a No. 1 seed, with the Colonials owning two of those victories.

Individually in 2013-14, a total of four studentathletes earned Northeast Conference Player of the Year accolades, including Neco Brett (men’s soccer), Karvel Anderson (men’s basketball), Artemis Spanou (women’s basketball) and Halley Morell (women’s golf).

Chris Carper of the men’s track & field squad also wrapped up one of the most dominant careers in school history in the spring of 2014 by being named to the 2014 NCAA All-America First Team in the javelin, the first student-athlete of either gender to earn All-American First Team accolades.

Carper concluded his career a four-time All-NEC selection in the javelin, including a pair of individual crowns in 2013 and 2014. He owns each of the top 11 marks in school history in the event and also won the individual title at the 2014 NCAA East Preliminary Round at Hodges Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla. The exploits of the intercollegiate athletic program in 2013-14 has continued a trend that RMU has established since its move to Division I almost four decades ago.

Since 1982, Robert Morris has sent 20 teams to the NCAA Tournament. Men’s basketball has made

— 12 — 2 0 1 4 R o b e r t M o rr i s U n i v e r s i t y F OOTB A L L

an NEC record seven appearances, while volleyball has participated in five. The Colonial men’s basketball program qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 1982, 1983, 1989, 1990, 1992, 2009 and 2010, while volleyball made five straight appearances from 1999 to 2003.

The RMU men’s soccer and women’s basketball teams have also appeared in the NCAA Tournament three times, with men’s soccer qualifying in 1993, 1994 and 2005, and women’s basketball in 2007, 2008 and 2014.

The RMU softball (2005) and men’s ice hockey (2014) squads have also earned automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament.

Other programs to have claimed an NEC Tournament championship during that span include two in men’s cross country (1986, 1987), men’s golf (1995, 1996), men’s indoor track & field (1999, 2000) and women’s indoor track & field (1998, 2000) and one each in women’s tennis (1996) and men’s outdoor track & field (2000).

In addition, former student-athlete Stephanie Kuhn (2003-07) of the women’s track & field squad became the first student-athlete in school history to qualify for the NCAA Championships when she qualified in the javelin in outdoor track & field as both a freshman (2004) and a senior (2007).

In the spring of 2011, former men’s golfer C.G. Mercatoris (2007-11) became the first student-athlete in school history to take part in the NCAA Tournament, finishing 31st individually at the NCAA Colorado Regional.

The 2011 NEC Golfer of the Year, Mercatoris claimed the individual title at the 2011 NEC Championships to claim a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

The trend of success should come as no surprise.

The RMU men’s basketball program has appeared in a national postseason tournament six times in the last seven years, including two NCAA Tournaments (2009, 2010), three NIT’s (2008, 2013, 2014) and the 2012 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT).

In 2013, Robert Morris became the center of the college basketball world by defeating defending national champion Kentucky in front of 3,444 fans at the Charles L. Sewall Center, the largest crowd in school history, in the first round of the NIT. In 2012, the RMU women’s ice hockey team claimed its first College Hockey America (CHA) Tournament championship thanks to a 3-2 victory over Mercyhurst in the championship game at the RMU Island Sports Center.

The Robert Morris football team claimed the inaugural berth for the NEC in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Playoffs in 2010 by claiming its sixth NEC regular-season title.

In 2000, the RMU football squad finished a perfect 10-0, the first perfect campaign for any sport at RMU. In the process, the team won its second straight NCAA

I-AA Mid-Major National Championship, according to Don Hansen’s National Football Weekly Gazette. The program moved into its own on-campus football stadium, named Joe Walton Stadium in honor of the program’s first head coach, in 2005.

The women’s rowing team claimed two straight Margaret McNiff Trophies in the varsity four classification at the prestigious Dad Vail Regatta in Philadelphia, Pa., in 2000 and 2001.

Five teams achieved national rankings during the 1990s, with the 1994 softball team reaching No. 23, the 1994 men’s soccer team peaking at No. 16, the 1996 football squad finishing second in the NCAA I-AA nonscholarship ranks, the 1997 football team placing third and the 1999 football squad finishing No. 1.

Robert Morris University has also had several studentathletes continue their athletic career in the professional ranks. The late Tim Hall (1994-95) was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the sixth round of the 1996 National Football League (NFL) Draft as a running back. In 2001, former offensive lineman Hank Fraley (1996-1999) became the starting center for the Philadelphia Eagles after being signed to the practice squad during the 2000 season. Fraley was a 10-year veteran of the NFL with the Eagles, Cleveland Browns and St. Louis Rams.

Men’s soccer player Musa Shannon (1993-96) was drafted by the Tampa Bay Mutiny of Major League Soccer (MLS) as the 28th overall pick in the 1997 MLS College Draft. Shannon is one of a number of former Colonials that have played professional soccer after their career at Robert Morris, including Rhian Dodds (1998-2002), who played for Kilmarnock Football Club of the Scottish Premier League.

Artemis Spanou

In addition to former RMU student-athletes playing in the professional ranks, inaugural women’s ice hockey goaltender Brianne McLaughlin (2005-09), who finished her career as the NCAA all-time saves leader, earned a silver medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, and again at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

Athletes are not the only ties that RMU athletics has to the professional ranks. Joe Walton came to the Colonials after 35 years of experience in the NFL, including seven years as the head coach of the New York Jets. He built the Robert Morris football program from scratch and served 20 years as head coach from 1994 to 2013.

John Banaszak, who served as the program’s

Chris Carper

— 13 — 2 0 1 4 R o b e r t M o rr i s U n i v e r s i t y F OOTB A L L

assistant head coach for six years, took the reigns of the program from Walton in 2014. Banaszak was a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers when the team won Super Bowls X, XIII and XIV. The RMU football coaching staff also featured Dan Radakovich, who spent 48 years in the coaching profession in both the college and NFL ranks, including 13 at Robert Morris, before retiring.

Former Colonial men’s soccer head coach John Kowalski also served as the head coach for the Pittsburgh Spirit of the Major Indoor Soccer League, the Tampa Bay Mutiny of MLS and the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the A-League. He has come full circle, as he is in his 12th season as head coach of the Colonial women’s team, a program that began in 1992.

JOE WALTON STADIUM After 11 years of playing its football games less than a mile up the street at Moon Stadium, Robert Morris University opened Joe Walton Stadium in 2005, the first on-campus football field named in honor of the only head coach the program has ever known.

The Colonials hosted Butler in the inaugural game at Joe Walton Stadium Sept. 17, 2005, in front of a standing-room-only crowd of 3,516, defeating the Bulldogs, 49-13. The 49 points scored by Robert Morris are the most ever scored by the program in a home opener.

Robert Morris cruised in the contest, scoring five touchdowns in the first half in building a 35-0 halftime lead. Four different Colonials scored touchdowns on the afternoon, including a five-yard touchdown catch by former tight end Jeremy Wise. That reception was the only catch in his four-year career.

Built over the course of 13 months and at a cost of $10 million by Mosites Construction Company, Joe Walton Stadium owns a capacity of 3,000 and features a 36,000-square-foot athletic administration building that holds office space for the football coaching staff, athletic administration and Olympic sport coaches. Also included in the building is a state-of-the-art weight room, equipment room, two locker rooms, three classrooms, lobby, press box and President’s box.

The Joe Walton Stadium field covers 97,000 square feet, with the surface field turf. The turf consists of sand, rubber and film polyethylene grass-like fabric with secondary backing of high polyurethane. The field is lined for both football and soccer and also hosts field hockey

and lacrosse games. The scoreboard for the stadium was provided by Institutional Specialties, a distributor of Daktronics, located in Pittsburgh, Pa. The music and public address system was provided by Hollowood Music and Sound in McKees Rocks, Pa., and

Joe Walton Stadium also includes a portal and plaza. The portal includes 160 pavers to recognize donors to the campaign to raise funds for Joe Walton Stadium, while the plaza includes three kiosks, one each for tickets, concessions and the Barnes & Noble bookstore.

The following occurred during the first football game at Joe Walton Stadium:

The Northeast Conference What is #NECPride #NECPride is about having pride in your team, your school and the will to succeed both on and off the field. #NECPride is about achievement, ambition, perseverance, community, passion, respect, determination, unity and teamwork.

championship sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s bowling, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.

An Innovative Leader Northeast Conference History There is plenty to be excited about as the Northeast Conference enters its 34th year as an NCAA Division I athletic conference. Under the leadership of Commissioner Noreen Morris, the NEC’s 10 core members remain dedicated to growth, innovation and achievement, and strengthening the Conference both on and off the field.

Following a successful 2013-14 campaign, the NEC now looks forward to writing the next chapter in the league’s evolution while building around the theme of #NECPride.

The NEC and its member institutions are committed to providing opportunities for student-athletes to achieve their fullest potential both in athletic competition and in the classroom. Likewise, the Conference continually strives to be an NCAA Division I leader for studentathlete achievement, academic excellence, integrity, sportsmanship, equity and diversity, community partnership and national engagement.

When the Northeast Conference (NEC) was first established as the ECAC-Metro Conference back in 1981, the league’s founders had one goal in mind: to create a competitive NCAA Division I men’s basketball conference for unaffiliated schools on the Eastern seaboard. A singlesport entity at its inception, the NEC has grown far beyond expectations over the past three plus decades, having transformed itself into a 10-member, 22-sport conference.

The remarkable success story of the Conference began to unfold in 1985, when the league began sponsoring additional sports. Three years later, a change of name was in order and the Northeast Conference as we know it today was born. With membership and sport sponsorship continuing to grow over the years, the NEC now enjoys qualification or play-in access to 14 different NCAA Championships (baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s volleyball).

Though the NEC has featured various incarnations since its inception, charter members Fairleigh Dickinson, LIU Brooklyn, Robert Morris, St. Francis Brooklyn, Saint Francis U. and Wagner remain part of the current 10-school alignment. They are joined by Mount St. Mary’s (admitted in 1989), Central Connecticut (1997), Sacred Heart (1999) and Bryant (2012). The NEC’s sixstate geographic footprint includes access to such major media markets as New York City, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Hartford and Providence.

NEC member institutions now compete in 22

The NEC has embraced new and social media to convey its message to a growing fan base. The conference has attracted a loyal following in recent years on its Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube pages, and the NEC Overtime! blog continues to grow in popularity.

Likewise, the growth of NEC Front Row continues to be one of the most remarkable stories in the history of the Northeast Conference.

After launching to rave reviews in August of 2012, the NEC’s state-of-the-art digital network has attracted a loyal following for its rich set of content, which includes live regular season and NEC Championship events, on-demand video, highlight packages, coaches shows, features, original programming and access to league’s extensive digital library, all free of charge to users. The network gives fans inside access to the NEC and its student-athletes on the field, in the classroom, across campus, and in the community.

By the end of the 2013-14 academic year, over nearly 1,400 live events had been broadcast on NEC Front Row with nearly a half million viewers tuning in to the network.

The second year of NEC Front Row saw viewership increase by a staggering 40.8 percent, with an increase in viewership numbers in every NEC sponsored sport.

The NCAA men’s lacrosse match between Bryant and Siena shattered the Front Row single-event viewership record with close to 6,000 tuning in to see the Bulldogs advance to the round of 16.

Last March, the Conference launched a companion NEC on the Run iOS mobile app that provides free, one-click access to live events and on-demand content from NEC Front Row. Fans can also join the conversation through the app’s social media integration. The NEC on the Run app can be downloaded on the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

For the second straight year, the NEC hosted a basketball preseason media day, but with a special twist.

Combining social media and a state-of-the-art venue, the NEC hosted “Social” Media Day last October at the Barclay’s Center on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. The festivities aired live on NEC Front Row and a tape-delayed broadcast received multiple airings on Fox College Sports. The Front Row broadcast was an interactive one during which fans were encouraged to tweet comments and questions with the best making it on air.

NEC Front Row was there when the basketball season tipped off at “Social” Media Day, and returned for the — 18 — 2 0 1 4 R o b e r t M o rr i s U n i v e r s i t y F OOTB A L L

climax as well via NEC Front Row Live! The online digital network was on the scene at the men’s and women’s title games, providing live pre- and post-game coverage via an ESPN-style floor level set.

The 2013-14 season also saw the debut of NEC-hosted Google+ Hangouts on Air, featuring one-on-one interviews with NEC student-athletes, coaches and media members. The Google+ Hangouts aired live on Google+ and YouTube, and upon completion, were immediately archived and available for on-demand viewing on the aforementioned platforms as well as NEC Front Row. By year’s end, the Conference hosted 58 Google+ Hangouts that received nearly 12,000 views, beginning with the NEC Football Coaches to kickoff the 2013 season last August.

Having provided an alternate take on the world of NEC sports since 2011, the NEC Overtime! Blog continued to be a favorite destination for fans of the Conference and its members. The blog showcases top news and the best of social media from around the NEC, and serves as a home for numerous fan-based contests, including the HersheyPark #SweetGetaway Contest, a smash hit during the 2014 NEC Basketball Tournament. The blog also rewarded the most rabid NEC fans who participated in social media-related activities (#NEC13 Sixth Man Award, #NECPridePix, #NECElite) throughout the NEC Basketball Tournament.

Success in the Classroom The NEC and its member institutions raised the bar once again with respect to the academic excellence displayed by the 4,000+ student-athletes who represented the Conference during the 2013-14 academic year.

NEC student-athletes averaged a 3.16 GPA in 2013-14 and all 10 of the league’s core member institutions finished the year with at least a 3.0 GPA. Over 1,800 student-athletes were named to the NEC Academic Honor Roll in 2013-14, and nearly 500 were tabbed to the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll with GPAs of 3.75 or higher. Likewise, five NEC student-athletes were tabbed Capital One Academic All-Americans.

Additionally, the NCAA honored 39 NEC teams with public recognition awards for exceptional academic performance with respect to their latest Academic Progress Rate scores. NEC institutions also ranked among the nation’s elite in Graduation Success Rate (GSR) figures released by the NCAA with 38 teams achieving a perfect 100 percent GSR in their respective sports and 40 percent earning a GSR of over 90 percent.

Student-athletes at Robert Morris posted a 3.30 GPA to win the 2013-14 NEC Institutional Academic Award.

Athletic Achievement There was no shortage of #NECPride during the 2013-14 season, a year that yielded 20 All-American selections, five Capital One Academic All-Americans, and 10 teams which earned national rankings in their

Northeast Conference Football All-Time Records respective sports.

The NEC sent representatives to NCAA Championship events in 14 different team sports in 2013-14, highlighted by Bryant men’s lacrosse shocking Syracuse to advance to the NCAA quarterfinals. Along with Bryant, which ranked as high as 11th in the USILA poll, NEC newcomer Saint Joseph’s also earned a national ranking, reaching 19th in the same poll. The Hawks, in their first year as an associate member, won the NEC regular season title with a perfect 6-0 record.

Incredibly, every member of the 2014 NEC Women’s Bowling membership ranked among America’s Best in National Tenpin Coaches Association (NTCA) polls that were released during the 2013-14 season. Fairleigh Dickinson (as high as No. 3), Kutztown (9th), Saint Francis U. (10th), Sacred Heart (12th), St. Francis Brooklyn (13th), Adelphi (13th) and LIU Brooklyn (16th) all represented the NEC in the NTCA Top-20 this past season.

FDU was one of eight teams to qualify for the NCAA women’s bowling championship, marking their 10th national appearance in 11 years.

In men’s and women’s basketball, a combined five teams competed in the postseason, and the Robert Morris men’s basketball squad knocked off St. John’s in the Postseason NIT one year after stunning Kentucky in the same event. Seeded fourth and competing on the road before a raucous, SRO crowd at the Sewall Center in Moon Township, Mount St. Mary’s won its fourth NEC men’s basketball championship with an 88-71 victory over top-seeded Robert Morris.

Playing before a coast-to-coast audience on ESPNU, two-time NEC Player of the Year Artemis Spanou and Robert Morris completed their incredible turnaround in women’s basketball, winning the program’s fifth NEC championship on its home floor with a 78-64 win over Saint Francis U. Spanou led the nation in rebounding for the second consecutive year.

Three of the nine NEC football players to earn All-American status came from NEC co-champion and FCS playoff qualifier Sacred Heart. Led by running back Keshaudas Spence, defensive tackle Troy Moore and defensive back J.D. Roussel, the Pioneers went from one win in 2012 to a 10-3 season in 2013, a year which ended with a close setback to Fordham in the FCS playoffs.

For the second straight year, Robert Morris women’s lacrosse player Jessica Karwacki led the nation by a wide margin in draw controls, averaging 12.71 per game. She also broke her own single season NCAA record with 216 draw controls.

The CCSU men’s cross country dynasty extended to five as the Blue Devils edged Saint Francis U. for the NEC championship in Loretto, Pa. In perhaps the most dominant individual performance of the year in the conference, Bryant senior Elmear Black left the field in her wake in winning a second straight NEC women’s cross country individual title. She broke her own course record, crossing the tape in 17:46, over a minute ahead of her nearest competitor.

ben won NEC Women’s Soccer Player of the Year honors for the fourth straight season. It marked the first time in NCAA history a player has earned Conference MVP honors in each of her four years. She also claimed an unprecedented fourth straight NEC Golden Boot honor and ranked first in the nation with 2.45 points per game.

RMU’s Chris Carper finished fourth in the nation in the javelin at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships and was named a first team USTFCCCA All-American. For the second straight year, LIU Brooklyn sprinter Brendon Rodney was named a second team All-American after finishing 13th in the 200 meters at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. LIU teammate Mica-Jonathan Petit-Homme earned second team All-America honors following a 12th place finish in the 400 hurdles at the NCAA outdoor meet.

It was three rounds of golf that LIU Brooklyn’s Marisol Doglioli will never forget. The sophomore established a new conference record, firing a six-under 210 (71-73-66) to win the NEC women’s golf individual title and help lead the Blackbirds to a three-peat. Her six-under 66 in the final round was also the lowest score in NEC championship history.

An NEC record eight baseball players were taken in the 2014 MLB Draft, including three in the first eight rounds. Bryant hurler Kevin McAvoy went to the Red Sox in the fourth round, followed by LIU Brooklyn shortstop John Ziznewski (8th round, White Sox) and Sacred Heart pitcher Kody Kerski (8th, Mariners).

In a remarkable feat, LIU Brooklyn’s Jenn Peters became the first student-athlete in league history to be named Rookie of the Year in multiple sports, claiming the honor in both women’s soccer and women’s lacrosse.

Sparked by a spring season that has netted the Bulldogs a remarkable six NEC championships, Bryant won its first Brenda Weare Commissioner’s Cup. The six titles were the most in a single season in NEC history and one shy of the calendar year mark shared by FDU (1991-92), UMBC (1999-00) and Monmouth (2006-07). The Bulldogs also captured the Men’s Cup for the first time. Saint Francis U claimed the Joan Martin Women’s Cup for the second straight year and third time in school history.

The NEC Hall of Fame announced its fourth Hall of Fame class in January, 2014. The three-member group included Robert Morris men’s basketball player Myron Walker, Sacred Heart women’s basketball player Amanda Pape and legendary Robert Morris football coach Joe Walton.

To wrap a year filled with #NECPride, former FDU soccer star Alejandro Bedoya competed for the USMNT over the summer at the 2014 World Cup. — 19 — 2 0 1 4 R o b e r t M o rr i s U n i v e r s i t y F OOTB A L L

On Campus & In The Community The NEC welcomed the class of 2017 to campus last summer as part of its annual outreach program designed to raise awareness and develop the league’s growing fan base. Over 8,000 students across the Conference were provided with NEC-logo drawstring bags filled with promotional products and coupons donated by a number of the league’s corporate partners along with an informative NEC Fan Guide.

The NEC, its member institutions and student-athletes have made community involvement an important piece of its mission. In 2013-14, the NEC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) spent time at the Children’s Cancer Recovery Foundation in Harrisburg, PA during its annual meeting. As part of the visit, SAAC leaders volunteered time to preparing care packages that went to children around the country. The SAAC also participated in a “Penny Wars” fundraiser for a fifth straight year that resulted in a significant donation to the Cancer Recovery Foundation. To assist in raising breast cancer awareness, NEC women’s volleyball teams supported “Dig Pink” and women’s basketball teams participated in the WBCA’s “Pink Zone” promotion.

For the fourth straight year, Sacred Heart was awarded the NEC Building Communities award. The award recognizes the institution which demonstrates the highest dedication to making an impact in the community through the efforts of its student-athletes, coaches and administrators. Over the course of the 2013-14 academic year, Sacred Heart donated over 11,000 hours of community service. In total, Conference members logged nearly 28,000 hours of community service.

Commitment to Sportsmanship The NEC continued its long-running participation in the NCAA’s Respect Campaign, an effort to promote an environment of respect and integrity at Conference events.

The NEC Team Sportsmanship Award program recognized those teams and student-athletes who adhere to the principles of sportsmanship and pursue victory with honor. The NEC honored 22 teams for their commitment to sportsmanship during the 2013-14 academic year. Robert Morris and Sacred Heart took home four awards apiece.

Since the NEC Team Sportsmanship program was instituted in 2008-09, Saint Francis U. has won a conference-best 29 awards. The Red Flash led the NEC in team sportsmanship honors each year from 2008-13.

The Brenda Weare Commissioner’s cup The NEC Commissioner’s Cup was instituted during the 1986-87 season with LIU Brooklyn winning the inaugural award. Monmouth and Fairleigh Dickinson lead all NEC schools with seven and six Cups to their credit, respectively. Cup points are awarded in each NEC sponsored sport. For men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, football, women’s bowling, softball, men’s and women’s lacrosse and baseball, the final regular season standings are used to determine Cup points. Starting with the 2012-13 season, the NEC began awarding three bonus points to the NEC Tournament champion in those sports. In all other sports, points are awarded based on the finish at the NEC Championship events. In June of 2009, the NEC Commissioner’s Cup was renamed in honor of former commissioner Brenda Weare, who passed away after a courageous battle with synovial cell sarcoma, a rare form of cancer.

Head Coach John Banaszak John Banaszak became the second head football coach in Robert Morris University history in December 2013. He served as an assistant coach for the Colonials for 11 consecutive years prior to taking over the top spot, including the past six as assistant head coach.

Banaszak was selected as Coach-In-Waiting in January 2012 at a press conference at the Charles L. Sewall Center, allowing for a simple transition following the 2013 campaign.

At the end of the 2013 season, not long before Banaszak was set to move into the head role, he was named as the Assistant Coach of the Year at the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) level as selected by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). He was one of five coaches selected, each at different levels of college football, for dedication to their teams and communities. He was the first Robert Morris coach, as well as the first from the Northeast Conference (NEC), to claim this honor.

The 2013 season was Banaszak’s sixth as assistant head coach for Robert Morris. Among his numerous duties with the program, he has been responsible for tutoring the defensive line and the special teams unit.

Under Banaszak’s guidance in 2013, Robert Morris led the NEC in net punting, punt return defense and punt return average while also placing second in the league in kickoff coverage. The Colonials ranked third nationally in punt returns as Banaszak guided Antwan Eddie to a single-season school record 405 punt return yards.

Banaszak was also a key component in instructing a RMU defense that finished second in the NEC in total

defense within league play. Robert Morris finished its regular season ranked among the top 25 nationally in a number of defensive categories, including third-down defense, first downs allowed, passing defense, red zone defense, passing efficiency defense, turnovers gained and total defense. He helped A.J. Holderman, a former fullback, enjoy a breakout campaign that saw him finish with 14.5 tackles for loss, the third-highest figure in RMU single-season annals.

With Banaszak’s assistance, RMU has led the NEC in total defense four times in the past 10 years (2004, 2006, 2009, 2010) and ranked among the top four nine times in the past 11 seasons.

Banaszak was a key component to a 2010 defense that led the NEC in total defense, allowing an average of 312.6 yards per game, and coaching a defensive line that recorded 13 of RMU’s 21 sacks as the Colonials claimed the NEC’s inaugural berth in the NCAA FCS Playoffs.

In 2006, Banaszak helped tutor an RMU defense that led I-AA (now the Football Championship Subdivision) in total defense, allowing an average of just 228.36 yards per game.

A total of 10 of the 13 players in school history to earn All-NEC recognition on the defensive line have come under the tutelage of Banaszak, including Nolan Nearhoof (2009-12), who was named the 2012 NEC Defensive Player of the Year after breaking both the school and league records for career sacks.

Nearhoof would go on to earn All-America honors courtesy of The Sports Network, becoming the third Colonial defensive lineman to claim an All-America nod under Banaszak in a seven year span.

Under Banaszak’s guidance, former defensive lineman Ray Gensler (2003-06) tied the RMU single-season school record for sacks with 11 in 2006 en route to earning All-NEC First Team honors. Gensler also established a career record in sacks with 19 thanks to 11 in 2006 prior to Nearhoof breaking the mark, and the Robert Morris defensive line that season recorded 28½ of RMU’s school record 34 sacks.

Former defensive linemen Jason Forrest (2002-05) and Mark Szymanski (2007-10) earned multiple All-NEC honors with the guidance of Banaszak, as Forrest was

a three-time All-NEC selection and Szymanski garnered All-NEC accolades twice.

In addition, also earning All-NEC honors on the defensive line with the help of Banaszak were Will Weathers (2003), Babafemi Odumeru (2004), Matt Brunck (2006), Colyn Haugh (2006) and Forrest Mason (2013).

As much as Banaszak’s presence has been felt on the defensive side of the ball, the same can be said on special teams. Eddie became the fifth different Colonial to win an award at return specialist within the past decade. Under Banaszak’s leadership, former Colonials Dante Settles (2000-04), Tyjuan Massey (2002-05), Mario Hines (2004-07) and Anthony Coleman (2008-11) garnered All-NEC honors at return specialist, the first players in RMU history to earn such a distinction.

Banaszak helped Coleman establish Robert Morris career records for kickoff returns (110) and kickoff return yards (2,422), while Hines owns Robert Morris single-game records for kickoff (165) and punt (112) return yards as well as the Colonial single-season mark for average punt return (16.29 yards). Banaszak has also tutored the only three Colonials, Settles, Hines and Eddie, to return a punt for a touchdown.

Former punter Nick Schirztinger (2007-10) thrived under the tutelage of Banaszak, as he finished his career as arguably RMU’s greatest punter ever. Schirtzinger, a two-time All-NEC selection, owns Colonial career records for punts (230), punting yards (9,290) and average yards per punt (40.4) and also owns four of the top seven marks in the RMU single-season record book for punting yards.

Tony LaMancusa also performed well in punting under Banaszak as he earned his first All-NEC nod after the 2013 campaign. True freshman Connor Shennan also contributed in his first season on special teams in 2013 as his 61.8 average on kickoffs and 15 touchbacks helped the Colonials lead the league in both of those categories.

Prior to RMU, Banaszak served as the 30th head coach in Washington & Jefferson football history, leading the Presidents to a record of 38-9 (.809) in his four

— 23 — 2 0 1 4 R o b e r t M o rr i s U n i v e r s i t y F OOTB A L L

seasons on the sidelines between 1999 and 2002.

In each of those four campaigns, he was named the Presidents’ Athletic Conference Coach of the Year and ranks third on the college’s all-time victory list.

A graduate of Eastern Michigan with a bachelor’s degree in health, physical education and recreation, Banaszak signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers prior to the 1975 season and was one of only three rookies to make the defending Super Bowl champion team out of training camp.

Primarily a special teams player on Pittsburgh’s Super Bowl X championship team, Banaszak started five games the following season and then started at both right end and inside tackle in 1977 before suffering a knee injury that forced him to the injured reserve list.

Between 1978 and 1980, Banaszak started 45 regular-season games at defensive end as the Steelers won back-to-back Super Bowl championships. In Super Bowl XIII, Banaszak recorded six tackles, including a pair of sacks, and a fumble recovery in a 35-31 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, which garnered him Defensive Player of the Game honors. The following year in Super Bowl XIV, Banaszak finished with five tackles and a sack in a 31-19 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.

Upon completion of his stint with the Steelers, Banaszak spent the 1983 and 1984 seasons with the Michigan Panthers of the USFL. He then moved on to serve as a player/coach with the Memphis Showboats, also of the USFL, in 1985. While with the Showboats, Banaszak mentored former NFL standout Reggie White.

Banaszak and his wife, Mary, have three children.

They reside in McMurray, Pa.

ASSISTANT COACHES In his 13th season with the RMU coaching staff is Scott Farison, and the 2014 campaign marks his eighth year as the program’s defensive coordinator. He served as the program’s recruiting coordinator for 10 years before relinquishing the role to Andrew Richardson in 2014. Under Farison’s tutelage, the Colonials have finished among the top 25 nationally in total defense a total of six times, including finishing among the top 11 on four occasions. In addition, Farison has been directly responsible for helping four Colonials earn NEC Defensive Player of the Year accolades. A native of Marion, Ohio, Farison, the longest tenured coach on the staff, is a 2001 graduate of Mercyhurst University, where for three years he played quarterback for the Lakers after transferring from Arizona State in 1998. Farison holds the Mercyhurst career record for total offense gained per play (6.17).

The 2014 campaign marks the first season for Darrin Hicks as an assistant at Robert Morris, and he serves as the program’s offensive coordinator. A native of Weirton, W. Va., Hicks brings 17 years of collegiate coaching experience to the Colonials, including 10 as an offensive coordinator. As an assistant coach with Delta State University from 2007 to 2009, Hicks twice helped lead the Statesmen to the Division II playoffs. Hicks began his coaching career at Emporia

State University from 1996 to 1998 and has also had coaching stops at California Lutheran (1999-2001), Washington & Jefferson (2002), Texas State (2003), SiTanka Huron (2004), the United States Merchant Marine Academy (2005), North Carolina Wesleyan (2010-12) and St. Augustine’s (2013).

In his eighth season as an assistant coach for Robert Morris is Andrew Richardson, who is responsible for coaching the offensive line. In January of 2009, Richardson joined the RMU coaching staff full time after spending the 2007 and 2008 seasons as a graduate assistant coach. In the spring of 2014, Richardson was named the program’s recruiting coordinator. A 2005 graduate of Penn State University and a native of Pittsburgh, Pa., Richardson was a four-year letterwinner for the Nittany Lions at offensive tackle. In 2005, Richardson started the final seven games at right tackle for a Penn State club that finished 11-1 and garnered a 26-23 triple overtime victory over Florida State in the 2006 FedEx Orange Bowl.

Hurley was a four-year starter at quarterback for Syracuse, establishing 23 school records and being honored as the 1979 ECAC Offensive Player of the Year. As a senior with the Orange, Hurley helped lead Syracuse to the Independence Bowl, the program’s first bowl appearance in 12 years.

TODAY’S GAME Monmouth (3-1) vs. Robert Morris (0-4) Saturday, October 4, 2014 at 3:00 p.m.

Joe Walton Stadium (3,000) - Moon Township, Pa. Radio: 970 ESPN (Chris Shovlin - play-by-play & Brian Cleary - color) Video: www.rmucolonials.com

The Robert Morris University football team returns home to Joe Walton Stadium for the first time in over a month when it hosts Monmouth in a 3:00 p.m. kickoff this afternoon as part of the University’s Homecoming festivities.

The Colonials are coming off the first of two bye weeks entering today’s game against the Hawks, as RMU will also have a bye Nov. 1, 2014. Today’s contest also marks the final non-conference game of the 2014 schedule for Robert Morris.

RMU closed out a three-game road trip in its last contest with a 31-7 loss at Dayton (9/20), and the Colonials return home to host the Hawks today in search of their first win of the season under new coach John Banaszak.

Against the Flyers, Robert Morris was led on the ground by sophomore running back Forrest Barnes, who gained 61 yards on 16 carries, an average of 3.8 yards per rush. He scored RMU’s lone touchdown of the game with a two-yard run at the 7:14 mark of the third quarter.

Barnes was making his collegiate debut against the Flyers and got the majority of the carries after subbing for freshman running back Rameses Owens, who left the game early due to injury. Owens has compiled 277 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 69 attempts so far this season to pace the Robert Morris ground attack, including 199 yards on an RMU single-game record 39 carries in a 16-13 setback at North Dakota (9/6) in the second game of the season. For those efforts, Owens was tabbed both the Northeast Conference Offensive Player and Rookie of the Week (9/22) while also being selected as The Sports Network National Freshman of the Week.

Today’s game features each of the top two rushers in school history on opposing sidelines, as RMU assistant coach and all-time leading rusher Myles Russ tutors the running backs for the Colonials, while Sam Dorsett is in his second season as running backs coach for Monmouth. Combined, Russ and Dorsett rushed for 8,118 yards and 50 touchdowns on 1,542 attempts, an average of 5.3 yards per carry.

While Barnes and Owens have solidified the backfield this season, a veteran is solidifying his place

Did You Know?

as one of the top wide receivers in school history.

Senior Duane Mitchell enters this afternoon’s game against Monmouth leading the Colonials in receptions (24) and receiving yards (193) and ranks fourth in the NEC in receptions per game (6.0). Mitchell also owns RMU’s only receiving touchdown so far this season, which opened the scoring at North Dakota.

Mitchell ranks third all-time in school history in receiving yards (1,497) while ranking fourth in receptions (103). He is just the fourth player in school history to eclipse 100 career catches and is 10 shy of moving into second place in the Robert Morris career record book. Former tight end Rupert Rickards (2002-05) ranks third with 107 receptions, while former wide receiver Tyjuan Massey (2002-05) ranks second with 112.

A trio of linebackers have paced the Robert Morris defense so far this season, as senior linebacker Jake Tkach leads the way with 32 tackles. Senior linebacker Mike Stojkovic has tallied 31 takedowns, while sophomore linebacker Nic Lamica has tallied 30 stops. Lamica is tied for the team lead in solo stops with sophomore defensive back Andy Smigiera, as each have posted 19. While Lamica has been a solid presence on defense in RMU’s first four games this season, he moves to the other side of the ball this afternoon against the Hawks, getting his first career start at wide receiver.

RMU returns to the road after hosting the Hawks, opening NEC play in Fairfield, Conn., against defending champion Sacred Heart Saturday, Oct. 11, at Campus Field.

RMU INSIDER The Annual Fall Pilgrimage

By Paul Meyer RMUColonials.com

Moon Township, Pa. – Tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. will be a remarkable time for Elijah Minnie, Ryan Skovranko, Marcquise Reed, Jafar Kinsey and Andre Frederick.

Tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. marks the start of the first official practice for the 2014-15 Robert Morris basketball team, and those five make up RMU’s freshman class.

Thus, the Sunday 10:00 a.m. “tip” officially begins their first Division I basketball practice.

It will be …

“Brutal,” said senior David Appolon, recalling his first practice in 2011. “One of the longest days in your life. Brutal, man.”

“The first day of practice is very hard,” said senior Lucky Jones, who also came to Robert Morris as a freshman that fall.

Will it be a shock for Minnie, Skovranko, Reed, Kinsey and Frederick?

“Yes,” said coach Andrew Toole, embarking on his fifth season as the Robert Morris head coach.

“Obviously, a lot of it depends on what your high school program was like, but even if you went to a very good high school program I still think there’s a shock in terms of the physicality and in terms of the intensity.

“You go from being a big man in a program and the strongest, most athletic guy in the gym and now you flip that over and you’re playing against a junior or a senior in college and you’re playing against a man. Some of those things you took for granted -- maybe getting open on the wing or grabbing a rebound in traffic -- become a little bit different. I think there is a little bit of a shock to the system at times. Maybe for some guys who haven’t been through environments where they’ve been made uncomfortable on the high school level it’s even more of a shock once they get to college.”

Appolon can attest to that.

“I came in like it was a high school practice.

It was a rude awakening, to be honest,” Appolon said. “I’m not going to lie, I was second-guessing myself. ‘Do I really want to play this game or not?’

It was a lot of running and stuff I wasn’t used to back in high school.”

Jones, who prepped at famed St. Anthony High School in New Jersey under legendary Bob Hurley

Sr., found the transition to Division I basketball a bit smoother.

“One thing I knew was that I was prepared for anything,” Jones said. “Any kind of challenge or anything that was thrown at me my freshman year was like ‘OK. I’m going to do this.’ We had upperclassmen and even people in my class (who) were like ‘How is he doing this?’ Because my (high school) coach trained me for it. He made it possible for me to come to college and be able to play right away.”

So perhaps Jones actually welcomed his first day of practice.

“I was like, ‘Wow!’” Jones recalled.

He looked around the court and saw upperclassmen Velton Jones, Russell Johnson, Lijah Thompson, Coron Williams, Anthony Myers-Pate and Lawrence Bridges.

And he thought …

“For the next four years, I’m going to be competing against people like this every day,” Jones said. “You just have to come prepared with your mind and your body and get ready to work and not take anything for granted. The first day of practice is exciting because you don’t know what to expect. It’s going to be a great experience (for the new freshmen) because they’ve never had the competition level raised so high, and the yelling and the screaming and the battling is going to be so fun.”

Lucky Jones

Jones, however, did have some downs with his ups during his freshman preseason basketball practices.

Toole kicked him out of one practice for some transgression or another.

“It was a wakeup call,” Jones said. “I wasn’t mad, but I was a little upset because I didn’t understand why or what I did wrong. But it as a humbling experience. (Toole) took me into his office and he spoke to me. We let out all our differences. I learned from that opportunity, and I just took off from there because I knew I wanted to play on this court and I knew we were going to do some remarkable things here.”

Which, of course, Jones has. We’ll cover all that in the coming weeks. One reason he has? That day Toole kicked him out of practice.

“It kind of woke him up,” Appolon said. “He did a better job than I did about taking advice from the older guys. Freshman year, you just have to learn from the older guys. My thing was, I didn’t listen my freshman year. Basically, you just have to listen. I didn’t listen. That was my problem. I was just trying to go my own way like in high school, thinking I was a man coming in. Once I adjusted to it, it started getting better.”

Now, three years later, Jones and Appolon are the older guys for the new guys. They’re the “been there, done that” guys.

Never hurts to have people like that around.

“They can definitely be resources,” Toole said.

“As much as everyone on our staff played at some point in time we’re not going through practice the way players are going through practice. Guys who have faced the adversity we’re talking about and who have come through it and had success on the court -- your upperclassmen, your returning guys -- they’re such a resource because they can go over to somebody and say, ‘I was exactly where you are two years ago or three years ago. Trust that what you’re doing is going to help you be successful in the games.’

“They also can show guys how to do things the right way in terms of detail, technique and communication. Guys can not only listen to them, but they can also look to them as we’re going through a practice about how to do things the right way that will be productive for our team. We talk to our upperclassman a lot about how they can help.”

That should help Minnie and Skovranko and Reed and Kinsey and Frederick.

“As much as they don’t know they at least can kind of follow directions and maybe feel a little bit

better because someone is reaching out to them and helping them through times when they’re unsure about what’s going on,” Toole said.

“I think I’ve already been doing a good job as far as taking care of the freshmen,” Appolon said.

“Telling them how to make it through runs, telling them it’s not hard because in your mind you know what you have to do as far as doing whatever the coach wants you to do. They have to come prepared and ready to work.”

“We had a couple (moments) this summer where we had some young guys who were struggling to get through workouts and Dave just went over to them and you could tell he had a little bit of a smirk on his face because he felt their pain,” Toole said. “He’d been exactly where they were, and he’s trying to motivate them to get through the workout and encourage them to finish.

“I think that’s some of the fun part for us as coaches to see guys develop and mature. Now it’s like second nature for them to make a time in a run or to push their body in a difficult fast break drill. Now the young guys are going through it and everyone’s trying to lend a hand to help them through.”

However, summer games, conditioning sessions and even the pre-practice individual drills aren’t like the regular practices that begin tomorrow.

Possibly the individual drills do begin giving the new guys some idea of what’s to come.

“We hope it does,” Toole said a few weeks ago. “In the time we have allotted right now and the numbers we have allotted, you can’t really simulate what practice will be like. Obviously we hope the topics we’re trying to cover or the pace of the workouts simulate practice. But everything’s on a small scale. It’s broken down to such a small scale in the individuals that sometimes it’s hard to see the total picture.”

The first practice will be difficult enough, although there’s a newness to it that removes some of the edge.

“They’re excited and eager to get on the floor,” Toole said. “It’s the start of the season, so the first one we try to get in as much high-energy drills as we can and stir up competition to try and set the tone for what we want to do for the practices going forward.”

The tedium begins soon after.

“I’d say the ‘grind practices’ come the third or fourth practice when they’re a little bit fatigued and, as crazy as it sounds, the newness wears off after a couple days,” Toole said. “Maybe you try and challenge them a little bit with some more difficult drills or you try to change the format of practice and see how they respond.”

David Appolon

Watching that response can be, uh, interesting.

“I think in everything when you first get to college there’s that moment,” Toole said. “Whether it’s in the weight room your first week and you get up in the morning and you can’t move. Whether it’s your first couple of individual workouts where you want to go lay on the ground. We’ve had guys do that before. Then you get into practice and you’re going to be tested even more. It’s that next step in the process of becoming a Division I player -- the weight room, individual workouts, conditioning, then practice, then the games. In each step, I think there’s always that moment where a player thinks ‘How did that just happen?’ or ‘What just happened?’ or ‘What am I doing?’

We’ve seen all those kinds of emotions occur in our time here.”

It’s obvious when it happens.

“Oh, 100 percent,” Toole said. “It will manifest itself in a couple ways. A guy being in a drill and really having no idea what’s going on in the drill and trying to survive, looking completely like a fish out of water. Probably one of the biggest places you see it is fatigue. When a guy starts to fatigue halfway through a practice or three-quarters of the way through a practice, and you see how they respond. As coaches, something you want is to get your team in some of those situations because you want to see how they’re going to respond.

“We’ve had young guys who all of a sudden in the middle of a drill walk out of the drill. They just can’t do it anymore. They can’t fight their way out.

They can’t get that defensive stop that they need to give themselves a break that they are trying to earn. Some of that is how we set up and manage — 47 — 2 0 1 4 R o b e r t M o rr i s U n i v e r s i t y F OOTB A L L

practice so they get put in some of those situations and they have to figure out a way to respond.”

There will be some weird moments in all that.

“It’s incredible how time can (impact) all this stuff,” Toole said. “We have a minute run, and that minute might seem like it’s 25 minutes. Or you get a minute rest after that minute run and that minute you’re resting seems like it’s four seconds. Time plays tricks on you when you’re unsure of what’s going on and your brain’s moving 100 miles an hour and you’re trying to get your body to compete and do the things it needs to do.

“When you’re in the middle of a grind or a difficult situation, it’s really hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel or see down the road. You’re just trying to survive. We try to remind them all the time how quickly this goes by so no matter how crazy it is or how tired you are or how difficult you might think it is, it’s going to be over before you know it. We try to remind them of that so they take advantage of the workouts and the practices and the days they have to be a college athlete.

“I think it gets through to some of the guys, but it really gets through as you get older.”

Appolon and Jones have talked to the freshmen about practice, and they’ve talked to themselves.

“I think (the freshmen) are ready as far as the advice we’ve giving them,” Appolon said. “Lucky and Chuck (Oliver) and I have also sat down and said ‘We have to focus. This is our last year. We need everybody to come together so we can have good preparation going into the season and don’t have to start out lacking in the beginning of the season.’ Practice is going to dictate who’s going to play, who’s ready to play. We’re going to try to make some noise.”

Again.

The Colonials have enjoyed seven consecutive seasons of spectacular success. In that span, they were 163-81 overall, including a phenomenal 99-25 in regular-season Northeast Conference games.

Jones knows what it will take to sustain that level of success, and he knows it begins on the first day of practice. That means the freshmen had better be ready.

“It’s hard, but I’ve been trying to help them out,” Jones said. “You let them know to not say anything back. Just listen. Observe the message. Go out there and play your game. Have fun. If you’re not having fun playing this game, then it becomes ‘Why am I doing this? What is wrong with me?’

It’s going to be hard. You’re not going to ever experience anything like it. It’s their first time in college. It’s not high school. It’s college. You just have to grow up and put your big-boy pants on.”

The Blue Devils have two wins over CAA members this season and Hollomon has totaled more than 200 yards from scrimmage in each of the victories. The Walter Payton Award candidate, who piled up 209 yards from scrimmage in a season-opening win at Towson, was at his best again in Week 5. Powering the Blue Devils to a 38-14 win over Rhode Island, Hollomon rushed for a career-high 236 yards and two touchdowns while becoming only the third 3,000yard rusher in program history.

The Blue Devils bottled up Rhode Island for much of their 38-14 victory and Celerin made key contributions to the effort. The veteran safety logged five total tackles, including 1.5 hits for a loss, and one pass breakup. He made a pair of stops in the first half as CCSU took a 10-0 lead into the break. Setting the tone for a stalwart defensive showing that limited the opposition to only 60 yards rushing, Celerin made a solo stop on Rhode Island’s first play from scrimmage as he dropped the ball carrier for a three-yard loss. The safety broke up a 1st-and-10 pass play early in the fourth quarter, leading to a three-and-out.

NEC Special Teams Player of the Week A.J. Firestone, Wagner Sr., P, 6’1”, 210 Mercersburg, Pa. / Mercersburg Academy (Penn State) Firestone had one of the finest performances by an NEC punter this season during Wagner’s game at Lafayette.

The fifth-year senior averaged 41.5 net yards per punt in a night away contest against the defending Patriot League champions. Firestone punted six times in the 35-23 setback and Lafayette did not return any of the kicks, pinning the Leopards inside their own 20-yard line on four occasions.

His first kick traveled 47 yards and went out of bounds at the 10-yard line. His next punt, a 42-yarder, pinned the Leopards at their own eight-yard line. He also booted a 47-yarder that was fair caught at the 12-yard line as well as a 41-yarder that was downed at the 14.

NEC Rookie of the Week Shacor Privott, Central Connecticut State Fr., LB, 6’2”, 250 Middletown, Conn. / Wilbraham & Monson Privott logged his first career sack during CCSU’s home win over CAA member Rhode Island. The freshman linebacker totaled three tackles as part of Central Connecticut State’s dominant defensive effort, which limited URI to only 266 yards of total offense. After Ed Groth’s 26-yard field goal gave Central a 10-0 lead late in the second quarter, Privott produced a drive-debilitating play on Rhode Island’s ensuing possession. He plowed through the line on a 1st-and-10 play and dropped the quarterback for a six-yard loss, helping preserve CCSU’s first-half shutout of the Rams. Privott delivered another key hit with CCSU nursing a 10-6 lead late in the third quarter. His assisted tackle limited the URI ball carrier to three yards on a first down play, helping to force a three-and-out.

TIM HALL MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP Tim Hall came to Robert Morris University as an unheralded player. Yet from the inaugural 1994 season until being drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the sixth round of the 1996 NFL Draft, Hall entered his name beside virtually every Robert Morris rushing record, some of which still stand today.

In addition to his football skills, Hall was admired and respected by all those who came in contact with him.

Tragically, in 1998, Hall was shot and killed in his home of Kansas City. In 2001, friends of Tim Hall established a scholarship in his honor. Each year gifts put toward this scholarship will result in an award to a minority running back at Robert Morris.

The Tim Hall Memorial Scholarship Fund is awarded to a minority football student-athlete who plays the running back position. The award can be renewed each year for four years, or until the student graduates, whichever comes first, as long as the following criteria are maintained. The RMU football coaching staff will determine the recipient of the award.

Criteria

• The awardee must continue to be a member of the Robert Morris football team • The awardee must maintain a minimum 2.50 grade point average • The awardee must maintain good standing with the football team and University • The awardee must demonstrate financial need In the summer of 2011, the inaugural Tim Hall Scholarship was awarded to redshirt senior running back Jamar Cromwell. The second student-athlete to earn the Tim Hall Scholarship was fullback Ryan Thermil, who was bestowed the honor in the summer of 2012. The 2014 season will be his third with the scholarship.

If you would like to contribute to the Tim Hall Memorial Scholarship Fund, please complete the form below and return it to: Robert Morris University Football Office Joe Walton Stadium 6001 University Boulevard Moon Township, PA 15108-1189

Over his four years, Newman completed 426 of his 833 passing attempts (51.1 percent) for 5,771 yards and ranks second all-time at Robert Morris with 64 career touchdown passes.

John O’Connell (1995-98) Linebacker • Induction Year: 2004 A four-year letterwinner at linebacker for Robert Morris, O’Connell finished his career with 272 tackles, which ranks sixth in the RMU career record book. A native of Ronkonkoma, N.Y., O’Connell was named a First Team All-American by Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football Gazette and garnered All-Northeast Conference First Team honors in both 1996 and 1997.

Tim Levcik (1998-2001) Quarterback • Induction Year: 2008

HANK FRALEY

Hank Fraley (1996-99) Offensive Line • Induction Year: 2006 Fraley was a three-year starter for Robert Morris on the offensive line and spent 11 years in the National Football League (NFL) with the Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns and St. Louis Rams. An All-Northeast Conference selection at offensive tackle in 1997, 1998 and 1999, he helped guide RMU to NEC championships each of those years as well as the 1999 mid-major national championship according to Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football Gazette. Fraley became the second Colonial football student-athlete in school history to have his jersey number retired, as his No. 75 was enshrined prior to RMU’s game against Sacred Heart Sept. 22, 2001. Fraley was the starting center for five seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, playing in four NFC Championship games and starting in Super Bowl XXXIX. A native of Gaithersburg, Md., Fraley is in his first season as assistant offensive line coach for the Minnesota Vikings in 2014.

Brian Cleary (1994-97) Offensive Line • Induction Year: 2008 A native of Glassport, Pa., Cleary was a four-year letterwinner for Robert Morris as a member of the offensive line. He started 38 career games from 1994 to 1997 at either offensive guard or tackle.

An All-Northeast Conference and All-ECAC selection in 1997, Cleary was also tabbed a I-AA Mid-Major AllAmerican by Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football Gazette. He helped lead the Colonials to back-to-back victories in the ECAC Bowl (1996 & 1997) and was also a member of the outdoor track and field team at Robert Morris, competing in the javelin. He currently serves as the color analyst for RMU football broadcasts alongside play-by-play announcer and RMU Athletic Hall of Famer Chris Shovlin.

Arguably the greatest quarterback to don a Robert Morris uniform in the program’s short history, Levcik owns almost every passing record in the RMU record book. A native of Ford Cliff, Pa., Levcik owns RMU career records for completions (537), attempts (970), passing yards (7,222) and touchdown passes (76). His 22 touchdown passes as a senior in 2001 stands as the single-season school mark, while he owns three of the top five totals for passing yards in a game. His career high came in a 45-19 victory over Stony Brook (11/3/01), when he passed for 363 yards, a total that stood as the single-game record until being broken in 2003. A two-time NEC Offensive Player of the Year (2000, 2001) as well as the 1998 NEC Offensive Newcomer of the Year, Levcik led the Colonials to a 26-10 (.722) record over his four seasons as the starting quarterback, including a perfect 10-0 record in 2000.

Sam Dorsett (1999-2003) Running Back • Induction Year: 2009 A native of Hollywood, Fla., Dorsett served as the program’s all-time leading rusher from 2003 to 2010, finishing his career with 3,847 yards rushing on 724 carries, an average of 5.3 yards per attempt. He owns RMU career school records for rushing touchdowns (29) and 100-yard rushing games (19) and ranks second all-time in all-purpose yards (4,255). A three-time AllNortheast Conference selection (2000, 2001, 2003), Dorsett is in his second season as an assistant coach at Monmouth in 2014 after stints at Robert Morris (2006-11) and Saint Francis (2012).

TIM LEVCIK

Nick Downs (1997-2000) Defensive Back • Induction Year: 2010 A four-year letterwinner as a member of the Robert Morris secondary from 1997 to 2000, Downs was a part of RMU’s ECAC Bowl win over Georgetown in 1997 and a member of two I-AA Mid-Major National Championship teams (1999, 2000) according to Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football Gazette. A native of Hughesville, Md., Downs ranks second all-time at Robert Morris with 14 career interceptions and during RMU’s undefeated season in 2000 tied the single-season school mark with seven. Downs returned four of his 14 career interceptions for touchdowns, the most in school history, and over his four years with the program the Colonials posted an overall record of 30-11 (.732).

Ray Thomas (1997-2000) Defensive Back • Induction Year: 2012 The third member of the Robert Morris secondary to join the RMU Athletic Hall of Fame, Thomas was a four-year letterwinner from 1997 to 2000. He was a part of RMU’s ECAC Bowl win over Georgetown in 1997 as well as a member of a pair of I-AA Mid-Major National Championship teams (1999, 2000) according to Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football Gazette.

Thomas led the Colonials in tackles in both 1999 and 2000, finishing with 71 and 80 takedowns, respectively.

Over his four-year career, Thomas compiled 240 tackles, which ranks 10th all-time at RMU. A native of Jamaica, N.Y., Thomas earned All-Northeast Conference First Team honors in both 1999 and 2000 and also added career totals of five forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries and three interceptions.

ROBERT MORRIS Athletic Hall of Fame Joe Walton • Class of 2013 The 23rd annual class of inductees into the Robert Morris University Athletic Hall of Fame featured just one individual, as former head coach Joe Walton served as the Class of 2013.

The first head coach in program history, Walton spent 20 seasons on the sidelines at RMU from 1994 to 2013.

In 20 years guiding the Colonials, Walton compiled an overall record of 114-92-1 (.553), including a mark of 73-47 (.608) in the Northeast Conference. Included in that 18-year stretch against league foes were six NEC regular-season championships (1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2010).

The one constant associated with the program for the first 20 years, Walton was named the first head coach July 27, 1993. He started the program from scratch, completing everything from hiring assistants to purchasing equipment to recruiting student-athletes for the program’s inaugural season in 1994. His fingerprints are all over the program, and to prove that, Robert Morris has played its home games since 2005 in a stadium that bears his name.

Under Walton’s tutelage, the Colonials claimed outright NEC regular-season titles three times (1997, 1999, 2000) while sharing three others (1996, 1998, 2010). Walton led RMU to back-to-back ECAC Bowl victories in 1996 and 1997, and in 1999 and 2000 he guided Robert Morris to a pair of NCAA I-AA mid-major national crowns according to Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football Gazette.

In 2010, Walton secured his legacy by engineering the Colonials on an eight-game winning streak for a

share of the NEC regular-season title and the NEC’s inaugural bid in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Playoffs. In the process he picked up his 100th career victory in the collegiate ranks.

During his tenure Walton has also helped a fledgling program send a pair of its brightest stars to the National Football League (NFL). Inaugural running back Tim Hall (1994-95) was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the sixth round (183rd player overall) of the 1996 NFL Draft, while former offensive lineman Hank Fraley (1996-99) spent 10 years in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Cleveland Browns and the St. Louis Rams.

Also to see time in NFL camps from Robert Morris under Walton include wide receiver DeLonte Perkins (Green Bay Packers), quarterback Tim Levcik (Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers), defensive back Robb Butler (San Diego Chargers, Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs) and offensive lineman A.J. Dalton (Detroit Lions).

Walton became just the second inductee ever to be active at Robert Morris at the time of enshrinement, joining 2012 RMU Athletic Hall of Fame honoree Chris Shovlin, RMU’s radio play-by-play announcer for football and men’s basketball who enters his 28th season behind the microphone in 2014-15.

Walton was inducted Friday, Nov. 15, 2013, at the inaugural RMU Athletic Hall of Fame Dinner, which took place at the Marriott Pittsburgh Airport. The emcee of the event was former Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann.

RMU ALL-SPORTS BANQUET

The Robert Morris University All-Sports Banquet will celebrate its 21st year in 2015 as the hallmark sporting event of the season.

The first 20 banquets, held in the Charles L. Sewall Center on the Moon Township Campus, drew better than 8,500 attendees combined.

The first six banquets featured a keynote speaker, which in the past has included former Steelers Robin Cole and Tunch Ilkin, former University of Pittsburgh football coach Johnny Majors, former Pirates All-Star shortstop Dick Groat, former Colonial Tony Gliozzo and amateur golf champion Carol Semple Thompson.

At the 2014 RMU All-Sports Banquet, which was led by master of ceremonies Chris Shovlin, the radio playby-play voice of Colonial athletics for the last 27 years, Robert Morris presented most valuable player plaques to each of its 23 intercollegiate sports, while 13 individuals and one team were also honored, respectively, with major awards.

Garnering the Presidential Scholar-Athlete Award, presented by Robert Morris University President Dr. Greg Dell’Omo, was senior Thea Imbrogno of the women’s ice hockey team and senior Sean Meagher of the men’s lacrosse squad.

Imbrogno compiled a 3.87 cumulative GPA as a biology major and finished her career with the Colonials as the program’s all-time leader in points (122), assists

(71) and power-play goals (25). Meagher finished with a 3.80 GPA while studying both accounting and finance and owns RMU career records for caused turnovers (94) and caused turnovers per game (2.09).

Earning the honors for the Highest GPA Awards, which are bestowed to the senior student-athletes with the highest cumulative grade point average, are Anneline Lauziere of the women’s ice hockey team and Carolina Mourao Teixeira of the women’s tennis squad and Travis Denny of the men’s tennis squad.

Lauziere and Mourao-Teixeira each posted cumulative GPA’s of 3.98. Lauziere’s major is biology, while Mourao-Teixeira studies engineering. Denny compiled a 3.93 cumulative GPA over the last four years while studying biology.

The Robert Morris volleyball team earned the Team GPA award, presented by Robert Morris Assistant Director of Athletics Ryan Fleischer. The Colonials posted a 3.65 team GPA during the 2012-13 academic year, the highest of RMU’s 23 Division I programs.

Taking home the RMU Athletic Department Appreciation Award, handed out by RMU Associate Athletic Director Addie Muti, was Pete Bubb of the RMU Maintenance Department. The RMU Athletic Department Appreciation Award is bestowed annually to an individual or individuals from outside the athletic department that display exemplary service.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS The Robert Morris University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is not all about winning on the field, court or ice.

Success in the classroom through academics is as much a triumph as the athletic competitions themselves.

Robert Morris University is committed to the total development of its student-athletes.

The 2013-14 academic year followed the trend set before it as for the second time in three years, Robert Morris claimed the Northeast Conference (NEC) Institutional Academic Award. RMU student-athletes that competed in 19 league sports combined to post a 3.295 grade point average (GPA) during the 2013-14 academic year, edging out LIU Brooklyn (3.248) and Wagner (3.245).

In addition to earning the NEC Institutional Academic Award, a total of nine teams from Robert Morris were recognized by the conference for compiling the best GPA in their respective sports. The RMU women’s tennis team led the way with a team GPA of 3.722 and was joined by men’s cross country (3.337), women’s soccer (3.450), volleyball (3.564), men’s indoor and outdoor track & field (3.240), women’s indoor and outdoor track & field (3.428) and softball (3.505).

In 2013-14, a total of 81 Colonials were named to the 2013 Northeast Conference (NEC) Fall Academic Honor Roll, 61 to the 2014 NEC Winter Academic Honor Roll and 118 to the 2014 NEC Spring Academic Honor Roll.

To be eligible for an NEC Academic Honor Roll, a student-athlete that participates in a sport must own a cumulative grade point average of 3.20 or better.

Likewise, to be named to an NEC Commissioner’s Honor Roll, the student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or better.

For Robert Morris in 2013-14, 27 student-athletes were named to the 2013 NEC Fall Commissioner’s Honor Roll, 16 to the 2014 NEC Winter Commissioner’s Honor Roll and 38 to the 2014 NEC Spring Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

In addition in 2013-14, 21 student-athletes from the RMU women’s ice hockey team were named to the 2014 College Hockey America (CHA) Academic Team, while 25 Colonials from the Robert Morris men’s ice hockey squad were tabbed to 2014 Atlantic Hockey Association (AHA) All-Academic Team.

The Metro Atlantic Athletic Association (MAAC) also named 14 student-athletes from RMU to its 2014 Women’s Rowing All-Academic Team, while a total of 49 Colonials from the field hockey and women’s rowing squad were tabbed to the 2014 MAAC Academic Honor Roll.

As a department, Robert Morris posted an average cumulative GPA of 3.332 among its 23 Division I programs. A total of 21 of RMU’s 23 athletics programs finished with team GPA’s or 3.0 or higher in 2013-14.

Zac Lynch

Overall, nearly 70 percent of RMU’s 550+ studentathletes posted a 3.00 or higher GPA in 2013-14.

The NEC also honored a pair of RMU’s studentathletes with the NEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year in their respective sport during the 2013-14 academic year, as Steve Mitchell garnered the honor for men’s indoor track & field and Halley Morell for women’s golf.

Katelyn Scott of the women’s ice hockey team was one of six student-athletes honored as the 2014 College Hockey America (CHA) Student-Athlete of the Year after compiling a perfect 4.00 GPA during the 2013-14 academic year.

Additionally in 2013-14, Robert Morris had six student-athletes named to their respective Capital One District II Academic All-America Teams by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Kyle Cooper and Nick Faraci earned the honor for football, Tess Apke and Nicole Sleith each garnered the award for softball, Rachael Kotula was honored in women’s track & field and Zac Lynch of the men’s ice hockey squad was an at-large selection.

Lynch went on to earn Capital One Academic AllAmerica Third Team honors, the first men’s ice hockey student-athlete to earn Academic All-American status.

RMU’s exploits in the classroom in 2013-14 should come as no surprise. Since 1988, a total of 25 Robert Morris student-athletes have been named the NEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year in their respective sports a total of 31 occasions.

The Robert Morris volleyball, football and softball programs have each had four student-athletes named the NEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year since 1988, which is — 88 — 2 0 1 4 R o b e r t M o rr i s U n i v e r s i t y F OOTB A L L

tops among RMU’s 16 intercollegiate programs.

Robert Morris has also placed 53 student-athletes on Capital One District II Academic All-America Teams since 1992, including 21 individuals that were honored in consecutive years.

Football has led the way with 16 student-athletes named to the Capital One District II Academic AllAmerica Team, followed by softball with 12 honorees and volleyball with six. CoSIDA’s District II covers Delaware, the District of Columbia, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

A total of four former Robert Morris student-athletes also garnered the honor of being named the NEC Scholar-Athletes of the Year in the first eight years the award has been distributed. Sponsored by the league’s faculty athletic representatives, the award is bestowed annually upon the NEC male and female student-athlete who has exhausted his or her eligibility, graduated and has posted the highest cumulative grade point average at the conclusion of the academic year.

In June of 2014, Travis Denny of the men’s tennis program was the first male student-athlete from Robert Morris honored with the award after compiling a 3.93 GPA in earning a Bachelor of Science degree in biology.

Denny joined former Colonials Lisa Jaszka (2007), Tara Maxwell (2009) and Una Japudnza (2013) as a winner of the award.

Jaszka was the inaugural winner of the accolade, earning the honor in 2007 for posting a perfect 4.00 GPA as an elementary education major throughout her four years at Robert Morris.

Maxwell, who competed for the Robert Morris women’s track & field team, earned the honor in July of 2009 after compiling a 3.99 grade point average as a manufacturing engineering major throughout her four years at RMU. Maxwell was one of three NEC female student-athletes to earn the award in 2009, joining Kathleen Henry of the Sacred Heart cross country program and Erin Reifsteck of the Saint Francis (Pa.) field hockey team.

Japundza, a former RMU volleyball student-athlete, was honored in 2013 after compiling a 4.00 GPA as a management major throughout her tenure at RMU. Japundza shared the honor with Carly Thibault of the Monmouth women’s basketball squad.

The reason for RMU’s success in the classroom is simple. Colonial student-athletes receive the very best support when it comes to their academic curriculum.

Evening study halls are monitored by the department’s student services personnel, and academic counseling is available from both the athletic department and the University’s enrollment management office.

Graduation is the goal, and Robert Morris University strives to ensure its student-athletes achieve that objective.
