SARA
DOELL HEAD COACH • THIRD SEASON • PENN STATE ‘00
Sara Doell is currently in her third 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. In her second year at the helm of the Pirates, the program took a major step forward. For the 2011-12 academic year, Seton Hall’s team stroke average per round was 313.15, an improvement of more than 27 strokes over its 2010-11 average. The Pirates were an average of 67.80 strokes over par per tournament last year, compared to 161.50 in their inaugural campaign. Furthermore, after just one top-10 finish in tournaments with fields larger than 10 teams in their first year, the Pirates had eight top-10 finishes in 2011-12, and their only other two tournaments had eight-team fields, of which they finished in second and fourth place respectively. In only the 15th tournament since the program’s inception, Doell’s hard work paid off when the Pirates took home their first tournament team championship, an impressive 32-stroke victory at the Homewood Suites Siena Invitational. Last year also provided Doell’s first individual tournament champion when Hannah Basalone earned a playoff victory at the Lehigh University Invitational. Basalone also became the first Seton Hall women’s golfer to be named to the All-BIG EAST Team. 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. 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. 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. 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!” Doell is a Class A Teaching Member of the LPGA. She currently lives in Brooklyn, N.Y.

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.

SETON HALL
2012-13 TEAM PREVIEW
The Seton Hall women’s golf team sails into its third year since the program’s inception with a new outlook. In year one, the Pirates struggled mightily as a young, new program. Year two saw significant improvement, their first team and individual title, and a fostering reputation as a team on the rise. Now, Seton Hall is being viewed a legitimate title contender every time it takes the course. Head Coach Sara Doell has witnessed the team’s dramatic turnaround first hand and likes the program’s chances this year and beyond. “I truly believe that we have the experience, the talent and the drive to compete at an even higher level than last season,” Doell said. “We have all five starters from last year’s squad returning… add two talented freshmen to the mix, and a year of experience to our returning players, and that is a recipe for success.” Recruiting has been a boon for Doell since starting the program in 2010. After starting primarily the same five women during the program’s inaugural season, all three of Doell’s 2011 recruits were immediately inserted into the starting lineup last year and played every tournament for the Pirates. Although only time will tell how the 2012 recruiting class will perform, both new members will crack the starting lineup for the Pirates season-opening tournament at Bucknell. One of the newcomers, Megan Tenhundfeld (Loveland, Ohio), has been excelling at Ursuline Academy of Cincinnati and has four top-10 finishes in the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) and Plantations Junior Golf Tour (PJGT) events during the 2011 season.
“Last summer, I saw Karlie compete at a PGA Callaway series event in State College, Pa.,” Doell said. “Ironically, I was there to watch McKenzie compete and they happened to be paired together. I was very impressed with how far Karlie hit the ball and how she handled herself on the course. After speaking with her parents and having her on campus, I knew that she was a great fit for our program. She has made a few adjustments this past summer in her swing that will only help her game. I am excited to see how Karlie’s career unfolds as a Pirate.” As a team however, the Pirates will only go as far as their battle-tested veterans take them. The undisputed leader of the group is Hannah Basalone (Brea, Calif.), who has led the team in stroke average each of the last two seasons, and last fall, became the first Seton Hall women’s golfer to win a tournament individual title. Her summer success at the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship may foreshadow what could be a dominant junior year. “Over the past two years, Hannah has laid the foundation for this women’s golf program by setting a strong, positive example both on the golf course and in the classroom,” Doell said. “She works hard, makes great decisions, and has had tremendous success… doing so with great humility. Hannah has written and re-written the record books for this young program and I know she will continue to do so this year.” Providing an impressive one-two punch at the top of the Pirates order is fellow junior Christina Cantũ (Houston, Texas). Cantũ has ranked second, only to Basalone, on the team each of the last two years in stroke average, and just last year, logged three, top-10 finishes.
“Megan played great this past summer with three Top-3 finishes, including a win at a Golfweek Junior Tour event in Oxford, Ohio,” Doell said. “Megan’s junior golf experience and success has prepared her to make the transition to college golf. “She certainly has the potential to be an integral part of the team’s success this year. I really enjoyed getting to know her in the recruiting process and look forward to having her on campus this fall.” Seton Hall’s other freshman will also likely make an immediate splash. Karlie Zabrosky (Erie, Pa.) qualified for the Pennsylvania High School State Championships the last three years and was named District 10 Golfer of the Year for a third consecutive time in 2012.

2012-13 TEAM PREVIEW
“When Christina is healthy, she is certainly a force to be reckoned with,” Doell said. “She proved that last spring when she led the team in three of our five events. She is a competitor and has an extreme amount of self-confidence that has helped her get through some tough injuries the past two years.” Seton Hall’s trio of sophomores started every tournament for the Pirates last year and will be expected to steady the lineup once again in 2012-13. The performance of Ali Kruse (Overland Park, Kan.), Erin McClure (Tucson, Ariz.) and McKenzie Cutter (Waldorf, Md.) was one of the main reasons why the Pirates took such an emphatic step forward last year. Kruse notched her first top-five finish with a career-best 6-over par, 75-75-150, to tie for third place at the Lehigh Invitational, the highest finish by a freshman at the time in program history. “Ali was a very consistent competitor for us averaging 80 in her freshman year,” Doell said. “With an added year of experience and a strong summer, I know she can be an integral part of this year’s success.”
McClure also recorded one top-10 finish, a seventh place tie at the Homewood Suites Siena Invitational. Her score helped lead the Pirates to their first-ever team championship. “Erin is the type of player that brings more to the team than just good golf scores,” Doell said. “While Erin was a very consistent and strong player for us last year, she was also a huge part of helping with team morale and cohesiveness.” The third of the sophomore trio was arguably the most successful of the group in 2011-12. McKenzie Cutter ranked third on the team in top-10 finishes (two) as well as fall (78.23), spring (80.75) and overall (79.44) stroke average. Her second place finish at the Homewood Suites Siena Invitational paced Seton Hall to its first-ever tournament team victory. Unfortunately, a nagging back injury may keep her limited this fall. “McKenzie has spent most of the summer rehabbing her back and taking care of her physical self,” Doell said. “Although she was not able to play much golf this summer, she has an incredible amount of confidence and is very strong. I know she will use that to spring back from this injury.” Pushing the back of the Pirates’ lineup and ensuring that the regular starters don’t get too comfortable in their position will be juniors Stacie Ballou (Staten Island, N.Y.), Samantha Massei (Allen, Texas) and Haley Van Es (Granger, Ind.). Massei and Van Es are well-experienced veterans as they started every tournament for the Pirates during the team’s inaugural year and enjoyed spot starts as sophomores. Ballou has made great strides in her game and continues to practice hard in anticipation of an opportunity. “Although Sam only competed in a handful of events last season, she certainly made great strides in her golf game,” Doell said. Her swing has improved tremendously since she first stepped onto campus two years ago. Last fall, Haley came back from a strong summer and made the starting line-up in our first event. That performance shows her talent and ability to be a strong competitor for this team. Stacie is the type of player that every coach loves to have on the squad. She is a hard worker, a strong student and has a strong passion for the game of golf.”

Coach Doell on Tenhundfeld: “Megan played great this past summer with three Top-3 finishes, including a win at a Golfweek Junior Tour event in Oxford, Ohio. Megan’s junior golf experience and success has prepared her to make the transition to college golf. She certainly has the potential to be an integral part of the team’s success this year. I really enjoyed getting to know her in the recruiting process and look forward to having her on campus this fall.”

Ironically, I was there to watch McKenzie compete and they happened to be paired together. I was very impressed with how far Karlie hit the ball and how she handled herself on the course. After speaking with her parents and having her on campus, I knew that she was a great fit for our program. She has made a few adjustments this past summer in her swing that will only help her game. I am excited to see how Karlie’s game unfolds as a Pirate.”

Seton Hall was paced by sophomore Hannah Basalone (Brea, Calif.), tied for seventh place among all individual golfers with a 15-over-par, 75-76-74225. Her performance is the third top-10 finish of her career. As a team, Seton Hall was consistent throughout firing a 77-over-par, 306-307-304-917, to finish 11 strokes behind the team champion, Bucknell, and 10 strokes behind second place finisher and BIG EAST foe, Rutgers.

The Pirates finished in eighth place in the 16-team field at the Yale Women’s Intercollegiate, with a 79-over-par, 318-311-314-943. Seton Hall finished 49 strokes behind the team champion, Harvard, but was only eight shots away from finishing in the top-5.
PRINCETON, N.J. - Sophomore Christina Cantú (Houston, Texas) fired a third round 74 to pace the Seton Hall women’s golf team to a seventh place finish at the highly-competitive Princeton Women’s Invitational. Collectively, the Pirates finished with a 69-over-par, 310-310-313-933, 27 strokes behind the team champion, Harvard. Most significantly however, was the fact that they bested their only other BIG EAST competition, Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights placed ninth, seven strokes behind Seton Hall. The performance marks Seton Hall’s third top-10 team finish in three tournaments this fall. The Pirates had only one top-10 finish in tournaments with fields larger than 10 teams in all of last year.

As a team, the Pirates finished second, their best-ever finish. Basalone fired a 3-over-par, 73-74-147, to tie Hsieh. In the first hole of the playoff, in front of a large crowd which included the Seton Hall men’s golf team, she edged her competitor with a birdie compared to Hsieh’s par. A celebration ensued which included a “Gatorade bath” by her fellow Seton Hall student-athletes. A “bath” similar to the one received by Seton Hall men’s golfer Brandon Park earlier in the day, who also won the Lehigh Invitational individual crown. Basalone’s victory comes one tournament after her previous best finish. Last week, she tied for fourth at the Rutgers Invitational. Collectively, the Pirates fired a 35-over-par, 305-306-611, to finish four strokes behind Brown for the team title. It took a tremendous performance by Brown to unseat the Pirates, who were the leaders in the clubhouse following round one. The Bears fired a 298 on Sunday.

first round scorecard
BASALONE 11th; CANTU 13th
“I’m so incredibly proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish this year,” said Head Coach Sara Doell. Our stroke averages came way down, our Golfstat ranking improved and we won our first tournament. Now, to place in the top half of the BIG EAST leader board in only our second year of existence is really a testament to our progress.” Sophomore Hannah Basalone (Brea, Calif.) finished her second BIG EAST Championship at 15-over-par, with a 74-79-78-231, and placed 11th overall. Basalone finished eight strokes behind Ashley Armstrong of Notre Dame and Emily Haas of Louisville. Basalone’s performance is a vast improvement from a sickness marred 2011 event when she tied for 26th place. “Once again, Hannah set the pace for us,” Doell said. “She has been such an important part of our success this year and she was simply fantastic in this tournament.” No one was more consistent throughout the three-round event than sophomore Christina Cantu (Houston, Texas). Cantu fired a trio of 78’s to place 13th overall at 18-over-par with a 78-7878-234. Freshman Ali Kruse (Overland Park, Kan.) did a fine job of rebounding from a very rough first round. After firing a first round 85, she responded with a 79 in round two and a 78 in round three to finish the tournament in a 24th place tie with a 26-overpar, 85-79-78-242. Teammate Erin McClure (Tucson, Ariz.) also tied for 24th with a 26-over-par, 78-81-83-242. Mckenzie Cutter (Waldorf, Md.) also rebounded in the final round after struggles in the first and second rounds. Her third round 78 contributed to the team score. Cutter finished at 31-over-par with an 8485-78-247. “I think our freshmen showed significant growth throughout this three-day event,” Doell said. “It shows a lot of poise and mental toughness for freshmen like Ali and Mckenzie to shoot a higher score early in the tournament and respond with a 78 in round three. Up and down our lineup, I really couldn’t be happier with our performance.”

Seton Hall provides a values-based education. Service learning is an intrinsic element of this. Value-neutral learning is like a ship at seat with no rudder. Krystal kramer International Relations Prescott, Arizona
Our focus is ethical leadership. Increasingly, using a strong moral compass to direct your lifestyle and work ethic is an important component in forging a successful career. This is why we offer classes in ethics and, beyond that, education guided by Catholic ideals and universal values.

SETON HALL
FOR THE MIND We offer more than 60 majors and concentrations taught by 860 full-time faculty, in five undergraduate schools - with practical, realworld emphasis.
FOR THE HEART We offer a compassionate, divers and collaborative environment that focuses on academic and ethical development.
FOR THE SPIRIT Our faith and spiritual commitments inspire faculty to educate students to become servant leaders in their personal and professional lives, in their community and in their global society. 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.
SETON HALL
We encourage ongoing, across-the-curriculum discussions on the ethics of business, medicine, teaching and other disciplines and urge you to use your personal morals and values in debating issues and making decisions. Underscoring our national prominence in emphasizing service learning and nurturing the spirit, the John Templeton Foundation has named Seton Hall as one of the country’s leaders in developing the character of its students.

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. Since his arrival, Lyons has been dedicated in his efforts to implement his vision for Seton Hall’s athletics and recreation department by introducing a number of initiatives designed to enhance the college experience for Seton Hall’s 14 NCAA Division I athletics programs and the student body as a whole. In Lyons’ first full year as Director of Athletics, the Pirate Blue Athletic Fund, Seton Hall’s athletic fundraising vehicle, experienced the most successful year of its history, receiving record contributions to fund critical initiatives to help make the Pirates competitive in the BIG EAST conference and at a national level. When Lyons arrived at Seton Hall, he established improvements and upgrades to the Pirates’ athletic and recreation facilities as a primary goal. Thanks in large part to contributions to Pirate Blue and a commitment from the University to make athletics and recreation a priority for the student-body, Seton Hall has already begun a large number of those enhancements. A new student fitness center is scheduled to be completed by summer 2013 and plans are in place to add a new scoreboard to Owen T. Carroll Field, revamp the student-athlete training room facility and create additional space for Academic Support Services. The men’s basketball locker room and women’s basketball coaching suite were each renovated during the 2011-12 season. The Pirates have also experienced a number of on field successes since Lyons came to Seton Hall. The men’s basketball team finished the 201112 season with a 21-13 overall mark, matching the program’s highest win total since the 2003-04 season and advancing to the second round of the National Invitational Tournament. The baseball team captured the BIG EAST Championship at the conclusion of the 2011 season, the third in program history and first since 2001. The women’s soccer, volleyball and baseball programs all qualified for BIG EAST Championship competition during the 2011-12 season, with the women’s soccer program posting its most successful campaign since 1999. Lyons has instituted a number of new events to help honor both its current and former student-athletes. In addition to the annual SAAC Student-Athlete Awards Banquet, Seton Hall held its first Senior Awards Banquet as a way to recognize its graduating seniors. He also refined the 2012 SHU Athletics Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony by hosting it in conjunction with a golf tournament at the Fairmount Country Club in Chatham, N.J. Seton Hall’s student-athletes have exhibited success in a number of ways off the court as well, through community service initiatives and achievement in the classroom. The Pirates’ community outreach programs demonstrated outstanding involvement from every varsity program during the 2011-12 academic year, as Seton Hall’s student-athletes participated in an array of activities to benefit the community.

its First Annual Student-Athlete Leadership Forum, providing its studentathletes with a chance to learn from and meet speakers from across the sports landscape. Lyons arrived at Seton Hall after spending seven years as Iona College’s Director of Athletics, establishing its department as one of the top programs in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. He was the chief administrator for the Gaels’ 21 NCAA Division I athletics programs. 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 also displayed a deep commitment to student-athlete development and academic standards through additional support services and facilities in both the compliance and academic services offices. Under Lyons, the Iona athletics department saw unprecedented growth and success both on and off the fields of play. Lyons also made his mark at Iona 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. Before elevating to Director of Athletics at Iona, 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. Prior to that role, Lyons served as Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance. 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 is married to the former Rachel Cintolo, who is a member of the faculty at Rutgers University.

BIG EAST CONFERENCE BIG EAST institutions reside in 18 of the nation’s top 50 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain more than one-fourth of all television households in the U.S. The BIG EAST will welcome UCF, Houston, Memphis, SMU and Temple in all sports in 2013-14. Temple football will join the league in 2012, with Boise State and San Diego State joining the following year and Navy in 2015. Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 32 national championships in six different sports and 137 student-athletes have won individual national titles through 2011-12.
The 2012-13 academic year is the 34th in the history of The BIG EAST Conference as the unique consortium marches on competing at the highest level with integrity and sportsmanship. The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth and continues to make strides in improving the quality and depth of the storied league. The BIG EAST Conference has been always been driven by lofty goals. The outstanding performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are evidence of the league’s proud tradition of success. The league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The 2011-12 year was no different. In the athletic arena, BIG EAST student-athletes again enjoyed success on the national stage. The Georgetown women’s cross country team captured its first NCAA Championship. The win by the Hoyas marked the third-straight year a BIG EAST team has won the women’s cross country championship, with Villanova winning the past two. The Louisville men’s basketball team advanced to the Final Four in New Orleans. Connecticut field hockey reached the NCAA semifinals, as did the Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team. The Irish women’s basketball team and Syracuse women’s lacrosse team each reached the NCAA finals. USF softball reached the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla., for the first time in program history. The BIG EAST placed two teams in the NCAA Women’s Final Four for the third time in the last four years as Connecticut joined Notre Dame in Denver, with the Fighting Irish advancing to the national title game for the second-straight year. BIG EAST student-athletes won five NCAA championships. Sheila Reid won her secondstraight NCAA Women’s Cross Country title. Syracuse hurdler Jarret Eaton won the 60-meter hurdle championship in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship. Notre Dame won the distance medley relay at the same championship. Georgetown’s Emily Infeld won the 3,000-meter run. Carlos Almeida of Louisville won the 200-yard breaststroke at the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships. BIG EAST football maintained its national profile as a competitively balanced group. Three BIG EAST teams won bowl games, while the BIG EAST representative in the Bowl Championship Series won its bowl game for the fourth time in the last seven years- a streak that includes wins against the ACC, Big 12 and SEC champions. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing – the University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, the University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida.

BIG EAST basketball squads have captured 11 titles in the last 13 years. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. The BIG EAST placed three men’s basketball teams in the Final Four in 1985, the only time this has occurred in NCAA history. Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. The conference currently crowns champions in 24 sports. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics. Any successful organization has had the good fortune to have outstanding leadership. The BIG EAST primarily was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, who was the conference’s first Commissioner. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. John Marinatto was the third commissioner of the BIG EAST, serving from 2009-2012, after seven years as the conference’s senior associate commissioner. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyed longstanding relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past nine years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 student-athletes.
