Sara Doell is currently in her second year as the head coach of Seton Hall’s women’s golf program. She was named the first head coach in the new program’s history on March 26, 2010. Doell came to Seton Hall with a wealth of golf knowledge, having spent the prior four and a half years as an assistant coach at her alma mater, Penn State. Before her work as an assistant coach with the Nittany Lions, Doell spent more than four years as an assistant golf professional at Ballantyne Country Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. She was the professional liaison for the women’s golf league and the lead instructor of the junior golf program.

SARA

DOELL CLARK, NJ / PENN STATE ‘00

2010-11 REVIEW

In 1998, she was the New York State Amateur Champion. Doell also became the Women’s Rochester District Amateur Champion in both 1997 and 2000. She carded her first hole-in-one on March 28th, 2005 at Waterford Golf Club in Rock Hill, S.C.

RECORD BOOK

SECOND SEASON

With competitive playing, teaching and coaching experience, Doell has developed a coaching style that matches her core values. “I value hard work, balance, mindfulness and positive energy. I believe that my role as a coach is to integrate those values into my coaching. It is important to give each individual athlete the tools she needs to improve her skills and approach to the game. Practices will be designed to help each player work on her individual needs while helping the team as a whole. We will focus on short game, course management and target awareness. I also stress the importance of staying with the process instead of being so focused on outcome. I am a strong believer in positive energy and how it directly correlates to success. I can guarantee you one thing - the team will have fun in the process!”

SETON HALL UNIVERSITY

head coach

Doell graduated from Penn State University in 2000 with a degree in Media Studies, focusing on the portrayals of women in sports media. On scholarship from 1996-2000, Doell left a lasting impression on the Nittany Lion golf program as she had more than 10 top-10 finishes. Not only does Doell currently hold the Penn State record for the lowest 54-hole score (215), she was team captain for the Lions from 1999-2000. That same year, Doell won the Women’s Golf Academic and Athletic Achievement award, the Mary Kennedy-Zierke award and the Penn State Spiritus Lionus Academic Leadership Award. The Kennedy-Zierke award is given annually to the student-athlete who provides outstanding leadership and dedication as a varsity golfer.

Doell is a Class A Teaching Member of the LPGA. She currently lives in Clark, New Jersey.

“I am both honored and excited to have the chance to add Debby Murphy as a volunteer assistant coach to the Seton Hall women’s golf program,” said Doell. “Debby was my swing instructor and coach from the time I was ten years old through my college golf career. She has had a very positive impact on me both as a player and a teacher. Debby has always been a strong ambassador for the game of golf and I look forward to working alongside her. I know that she will be very influential in helping to develop the individuals on this team both on and off the course.”


In its first season of competition, the Seton Hall women’s golf program enjoyed a number of successes that point to a bright future on the links. Head coach Sara Doell guided a roster composed primarily of freshmen last year, and she will welcome three talented newcomers to a group of six returnees in 2011-12.

“Stacie is striking the ball very solidly and played some great golf this summer as she competed in a collegiate players tour event at Radley Run Country Club and carded three rounds that averaged 20 shots lower than her freshman year average,” Doell said. “The dedication and hard work that she put in this summer has shown and I am excited to see her compete this fall.”

“This fall season looks to be very promising as we have six returning players and three freshmen on the roster,” Doell said. “With a year of experience for our returning players and a very talented freshman class coming in, we have the potential to be very competitive this fall season. We are competing in five strong events with solid fields and have an exciting opportunity to advance this program to the next level.”

Freshman McKenzie Cutter joins the program from North Point High School in Maryland, where she was a four-year varsity letter winner. Cutter finished third in the state championship as a junior and has nine top-10 finishes in national junior events.

Despite battling injuries, sophomore Christina Cantú displayed plenty of potential as a rookie. She was second on the team with a 79.68 stroke average and was the team’s top individual finisher at the Yale Fall Intercollegiate and the Cincinnati Spring Invitational. “Christina is coming in off of a recent win at the Houston Golf Association Eddie Burke, Sr. Young Houstonian in late July,” Doell said. “I know this gave her some renewed confidence in her ability to compete with the best and she will take that into the fall season. After suffering several injuries last season, Christina worked hard in the gym and on the golf course and has come back to campus injury free and ready to compete.” Sophomores Samantha Massei and Haley Van Es represented the Pirates in every event during the 2010-11 season. Massei provided one of the year’s most exciting moments when she carded the program’s first hole-in-one at the Bucknell Invitational on the fall season’s opening weekend. Van Es showed steady improvement throughout the year, posting her best round at the Cincinnati Spring Invitational. “Sam started of her freshman season with a bang as she carded the first hole-in-one in Seton Hall women’s golf history during the Bison Invitational,” Doell said. “With the guidance of Coach Murphy, she made some significant swing changes during her first year, and as she left for the summer, I know that she felt good about these changes.”

COACHING STAFF 2011-12 SEASON

Ali Kruse, a freshman from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Kansas, has four top-10 and eight top-20 finishes in national junior events. The 2010 Missouri Junior Amateur champion, Kruse won the Kenneth Smith Award, presented annually to a Greater Kansas City Area High School female and male golfer who demonstrate excellence on and off the course. “When Ali decided to commit to the Pirates last year, I knew that we were very fortunate to sign her,” Doell said. “She has improved her game dramatically since the summer of 2009 as she fired a career-low 71 in the final round of the 2010 AJGA - Lockton tournament to finish fifth place in a very strong field. I believe she has the potential to step into this line up as a freshman and compete at a very high level.” Freshman Erin McClure arrives at the Hall from Catalina Foothills High School in Arizona. A four-year varsity letter winner, McClure helped her school to state championships in 2009 and 2010 and placed third individually as a senior. She boasts three top-10 finishes in AJGA qualifiers.

PIRATE PROFILES

“Hannah had a very impressive freshman debut with four top-10 finishes, including a fifth place showing at the Spider Invitational,” Doell said. “She will look to improve on her first year scoring average as she has worked very diligently this past summer on her game. Hannah sets a great example in the classroom as she finished with a 4.0 GPA last spring and earned a spot on the NGCA Academic All-Scholar Team. I look to Hannah to lead this team into our second season both on the golf course and in the classroom”

“I have tracked McKenzie for several years through her junior career and have seen her golf game, swing, short game and attitude make tremendous improvements,” Doell said. “I had the chance to see her compete at the PGA Callaway event this past July in State College where she finished second, shooting a 70-76-76-222. She has added impressive distance off the tee, has a creative short game, and with some guidance on course management, I believe McKenzie has the potential to be a very strong competitor for us this fall.”

“Having Erin on campus is exciting as she is such a positive and energetic person,” Doell said. “When she left campus after her recruiting trip last fall, I knew that she was going to have a positive impact on this team, not only on the golf course but also through her attitude.” The Pirates will compete in fall tournaments at Bucknell, Yale, Princeton, Rutgers and Lehigh.

2010-11 REVIEW

Sophomore Hannah Basalone was the Pirates’ most consistent performer in year one. Basalone competed in every tournament and led the team with a 78.88 stroke average, while also recording the first two top-10 finishes for the new program. In her collegiate debut, she tied for ninth in the Bucknell Invitational, before later placing fifth at the Spider Invitational to close out the fall. Basalone will remain a strong contender for the Hall’s number one spot in her second season.

2011-12 PREVIEW

“I look forward to leading this program into its second season,” Doell said. “We begin on September 10th at the Bison Invitational hosted by Bucknell. Last year, we finished 10th in a field of 18 at this event and we can make significant improvements on that finish with the strength of this team.”

RECORD BOOK

“Haley worked hard her freshman year as she represented the team in the starting line-up in every event,” Doell continued. “I know that Haley worked very hard on her swing, short game and fitness level over the past summer and is ready to come back with a strong performance this fall. I look to Haley to lead these incoming freshmen with her energy and infectious enthusiasm.” Senior Nicole Longobardo and sophomore Stacie Ballou also return after sharing time in the Hall’s lineup last year.

SETON HALL UNIVERSITY

“Nicole’s improvement from the fall of 2010 to the spring of 2011 was significant,” Doell said. “She returns as our only upperclassman and I know that she will step into a leadership role this year. She is an excellent student, a hard worker and has a positive attitude.” Seton Hall newcomers (r-to-l) Ali Kruse, McKenzie Cutter and Erin McClure

“I have tracked McKenzie for several years through her junior career and have seen her golf game, golf swing, short game and attitude make tremendous improvements leading to her impressive performance this past summer. I had the chance to see her compete at the PGA Callaway event this past July in State College where she finished second shooting 70-76-76. I was very excited to see how well she was playing and the way that she represented herself on the course. She has added impressive distance off the tee, has a creative short game and with some guidance on course management, I believe McKenzie has the potential to be a very strong competitor for us this fall.�

“When Ali decided to commit to the Pirates last year, I knew that we were very fortunate to sign her. She has improved her game dramatically since the summer of 2009 as she fired a career-low 71 in the final round of the 2010 AJGA - Lockton tournament to finish fifth place in a very strong field. She also finished second place in the PGA-Callaway series event in Iowa. It is those types of performances that gave Ali great confidence as she enters her freshman year. I believe she has the potential to step into this line up as a freshman and compete at a very high level.”

“Having Erin on campus is exciting as she is such a positive and energetic person. When she left campus after her recruiting trip last fall, I knew that she was going to have a positive impact on this team, not only on the golf course but also through her attitude. She had a strong summer and competed in several events, including shooting her career low 70. I’m excited to lead her through her career here as a Pirate.”

The extraordinarily picturesque Island has played host to numerous U.S. Open qualifiers and NCAA Championships, and has also been ranked among the country’s top 50 resort courses by Golf Digest.

In our valued-centered curricula, programs and extracurricular activities, we focus on academics and devleopment of the individual. Our graduates continue to prove themselves as leaders in their professions and communities. Seton Hall gives you all the resources you would find in a large university. But, with only 5,200 undergraduates and a 15:1 student-faculty ratio, you get the personal attention of a small liberal arts college.

ON CAMPUS THE SIGHTS OF ONE OF NEW JERSEY’S BEAUTIFUL AND MOST HISTORIC CAMPUSES


Seton Hall is about caring and sharing - to pass a torch to students that is burning brighter than the one passed to us. Tony Lovisick, PH.D. Chair, Finance and Legal Studies Stillman School of Business

Our faculty comprised of a distinguished group of scholars that have earned advanced degrees both in the U.S. and abroad. You will study alongside these learned men and women collaborating with them in developing new concepts and researching meaningful topics. And don’t think they won’t be involved in your academic careers - personal attention is at the heart of academic excellence.

I give the highest importance to my contact with students ... they are the school’s most important asset. Ambassador s. azmat hassan Senior Faculty Associate Whitehead School of Diplomacy and International Relations


The Hall’s campus expands dramatically when you include the surrounding areas. Hop the train to the next town west, Maplewood, for a slice of pizza, or two stops and you are in Millburn with great sushi restaurants or just a few more and your are in Summit where you can do shopping at clothing stores like Benetton or Roots, Inc. And don’t forget about the Jersey Shore or skiing in Northern New Jersey in the winter.

Combine a student-discounted New Jersey transit ticket, with 30 minutes train-time, and you’re at Penn Statiion in Midtown Manhattan. From there, train, bus or walk to the neighborhood of your choice. Time Square’s Theater District: plays and musicals. Upper Fifth Avenue, dubbed Museum Mile; venerable institutions like the Metropolitan and the Guggenheim. Head Downtown and check out the financial district including the New York Stock Exchange. Besides the cultural and entertainment opportunities New York’s burrough of Manhattan provides, many students take advantage of internships with museums, nonprofit and government agencies, law and accounting firms, television and print media - the list goes on and on.

PATRICK

Director of Athletics and Recreational Services

Patrick G. Lyons was named Director of Athletics and Recreational Services at Seton Hall University on February 22, 2011.

of the soccer and lacrosse programs. In addition, Iona created Rice Oval Softball field, the first on-campus home for the softball program.

Lyons comes to Seton Hall after spending seven years as Iona College’s Director of Athletics. Lyons’ student-athlete centered vision was incorporated into several initiatives at Iona. Working closely with the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), Lyons emphasized a community service element for all of Iona’s 400+ student-athletes and 21 Division I athletic programs. He has also shown a deep commitment to student-athlete development and academic standards through additional support services and facilities in both the compliance and academic services offices.

Before elevating to his current role, Lyons was the Associate Athletic Director for External Affairs. In that role, he was responsible for all revenue generation by the athletics department with primary oversight of the department’s fundraising arm - The Goal Club. This included, but was not limited to, all fundraising activities and marketing for the department including the annual golf tournament, sponsorships, and the annual fund.

Under Lyons, the Iona athletics department has seen unprecedented growth and success both on and off the fields of play. The men’s cross country team continued its storied success earning a second straight national runner-up finish at the NCAA Championship in November 2008. The program has finished in the Top-10 at the national championship in each of the last nine years. Along with the University of Wisconsin, no other program has seen the same success. The men’s and women’s basketball programs have established a reputation for being one of the top programs in the MAAC. The women enjoyed their most successful five-year stint in program history and have made three postseason appearances in the last four seasons. The men’s program earned an NCAA Championship appearance in 2006, won 21 games in 2009-10 and has continued to rank among the leaders in the MAAC and the New York Metropolitan Area. Other Gael programs that saw success under Lyons tutelage have been the women’s cross country team with five straight MAAC Championships, the softball program earning its first ever bid to the NCAA Championship in 2010, the men’s soccer program with a MAAC Regular Season Championship in 2009 and a MAAC finals appearance in 2010. The volleyball team reached the NCAA Championship in 2004 and returned to the MAAC finals in 2010. In addition, Iona’s women’s lacrosse and women’s water polo programs continued to excel in 2009-10. Where Lyons truly made his mark at Iona has been in fundraising and improvements made to athletics facilities. The Iona Gaels Capital Improvements Fund was created by Lyons as the first capital fundraising effort in the department’s history. Among several enhancements, the most dramatic and impressive changes were the opening of both the Hynes Athletics Center and the Judge Student-Athlete Academic Center in January of 2006. Lyons also oversaw the complete renovation of the varsity locker rooms - where each program now has its own space for the first time in school history, the addition of a video screening room for its athletic programs as well as the resurfacing of both the Hynes Center basketball/volleyball arena floor and the surface of Mazzella Field, home

Prior to that role, Lyons served as Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance. He oversaw all NCAA, MAAC, and institutional policies and regulations, as well as team scheduling, student-athlete financial aid, the student-athlete advisory committee, and payroll for all staff as well as student-workers. Lyons also coordinated the NCAA certification process, from the self study to on-campus visits. As a coach, Lyons led the Iona golf team to its most successful four-year span. At the helm of the Gaels from 1998-02, he directed the squad to three MAAC Championships and earned a berth in the NCAA Golf Championship in each of his three full seasons. A native of Providence, R.I., Lyons was a two-sport standout in hockey and golf. One of the most prolific scorers in school history, Lyons tallied 80 goals and 90 assists during his 86-game career and led all of NCAA Division I hockey in goals per game during the 1995-96 season. He captained the golf team during his junior and senior seasons and in 1996, received the Joseph O’Connell award, given annually to Iona’s most outstanding student-athlete. In 1999, Lyons earned his master’s degree in teaching from Iona and earned an MBA from the Hagan School of Business in 2004. Lyons has also served as an adjunct professor in both the Biology department at Iona and the Sports Business Management program at Manhattanville College. Lyons has served on several committees at the national and conference level. He is a member of the NCAA Division I Championships and Sports Management Cabinet where he serves as a liaison to the men’s and women’s ice hockey committees. Lyons served as the Chairman of MAAC Cross Country Committee and previously as chairman of the MAAC Committee on Athletics Administration. He also serves on the MAAC Marketing and Strategic Planning Committees. Lyons is married to the former Rachel Cintolo, a pediatric nurse practitioner and clinical faculty at Columbia University.
