Dear Pirate Blue Nation, First, let me take a moment to say how excited I am that I get to write this letter to all of you. As you probably have heard me say before, becoming the Director of Athletics at Seton Hall is a dream come true. Being able to serve my alma mater and its incredible studentathletes, coaches and administrators is a dream come true. Getting to reconnect with all of our generous Pirate Blue supporters who help make everything possible for our student-athletes is also a dream come true. While I may have been at Saint Peter’s University the last two years, I have always kept a close eye on the Pirates, and 2018-19 was another successful year at The Hall. The department’s academics have never been stronger; men’s basketball is enjoying success that only one other era of Pirates have ever seen; women’s basketball notched another postseason appearance; baseball, men’s & women’s golf and men’s swimming & diving were all top-three in the BIG EAST; student-athletes continue to devote time to make an impact in the community; and our seniors are graduating at or near the top of their class ready to take on the world. You can read more about all the department’s 2018-19 achievements in the pages following this letter. But, remember that the time for resting on these accomplishments ends upon finishing this book. We as a department must strive for even greater success in academics, athletics and servant leadership. We must continue to seek ways to improve the lives of our student-athletes, give them the resources necessary to compete for championships and position them for success post-graduation. None of our goals as a department will be possible without the continued support from you, our Pirate Blue members. We need you now more than ever to ensure that Seton Hall Athletics continues its upward trajectory towards greatness not only in the BIG EAST Conference, but also across the national landscape. It’s time to hit the ground running because we have a lot of work to do! Thank you again for supporting Seton Hall Athletics and its studentathletes. I look forward to seeing you all at a game, a Pirate Blue event or on campus! GO PIRATES!

NEW LOOK PIRATES NOTCH
FOURTH STRAIGHT NCAA TOURNAMENT
Myles Powell said it best before the end of the 2018-19 men’s basketball campaign: “The story of our season was we never gave up.” Before the year began, there was uncertainty. After the senior core of Angel Delgado, Khadeen Carrington, Desi Rodriguez and Ismael Sanogo graduated with a BIG EAST Championship and three NCAA Tournament appearances, no one knew what to expect for a team that would feature four new starters and was picked eighth in the BIG EAST pre-season poll. In the end, as young and inexperienced the team was at the start, everyone could expect the Pirates to succeed due to their greatest attribute: resilience. 4
To begin the season, the non-conference schedule was believed to be one that could be the most difficult in program history. After defeating Wagner 89-49 in Walsh Gymnasium in its opener, the Pirates traveled to play Nebraska as part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games and were defeated 80-57. After arriving home from Nebraska at 3 a.m. the next day and having only one full day of practice, the Pirates dropped their Prudential Center opener to eventual Atlantic 10 champion Saint Louis, 66-64. The Hall responded by winning its first in-season tournament since 2014 at the Wooden Legacy. In their first contest, the Pirates got by Grand Canyon on the strength of Powell’s career-high 40 points, which tied James Harden for most points in regulation for a Wooden Legacy game. The
next night the program downed Hawai’i 6454 to advance to the championship against Miami (FL). In the final, Michael Nzei made all eight of his field goal attempts and scored a career-high 21 points to lead the Pirates past the Hurricanes, 83-81. Powell was named Most Outstanding Player of the tournament after averaging 25 points in the three games. Although the Pirates were unable to get by Louisville once they returned home, they defeated New Hampshire in their next game to set up a memorable seven-game winning streak. On December 8th, The Hall went up against No. 9 Kentucky in Madison Square Garden. In a competitive, back and forth game, it looked like the Pirates would squeeze
by the Wildcats as Powell hit a contested three with 1.4 seconds left, until Kentucky hit a shocking half court buzzer beater. In the overtime period, down two, a Taurean Thompson shot fake and pass to the right wing led to a three from Myles Cale with 9.5 seconds left. After Kentucky inbounded and sprinted down the court, Keldon Johnson’s three-point attempt was blocked by Quincy McKnight. The 84-83 victory gave the Pirates their first Associated Press top 10 win on its non-conference schedule since 1992. Other highlights of the winning streak included taking the Garden State Hardwood Classic against Rutgers, defeating Maryland on the road, and a BIG EAST opener victory against St. John’s on a Shavar Reynolds, Jr., three with 0.4 seconds left after trailing by 14 points. The Pirates were sitting strong at 12-4 overall and 3-1 in the BIG EAST after an early January win over Butler, but Seton Hall lost its next four games, sliding into a sixth-place tie with four other teams at the bottom of the conference. The Pirates then split two before reeling off three straight. The Hall had two of those victories in come from behind efforts in a series sweep of Creighton. In the first contest, the Pirates allowed no field goals in the final 4:35 minutes of the game and Powell scored the team’s last nine points as The Hall climbed back from six points down to win, 63-58. On the road against the Bluejays, Seton Hall was down six with 4:33 remaining and proceeded to go on a 14-2 game-ending run fueled by McKnight making four steals in a
two-minute span and Powell hitting the goahead three with under a minute to play. Seton Hall was now 7-6 in BIG EAST play but suffered a three-game swoon to set up a do-or-die situation: defeat two nationally ranked teams at home to draw even in the BIG EAST. With its season on the line against No. 16 Marquette, Seton Hall erased a nine-point deficit with a game ending 18-0 run to secure a 73-64 victory as Powell went off on the Golden Eagles with 34 points, including 10 points in the 18-0 run. Three days later against No. 23 Villanova on Senior Day, The Hall made a seasonhigh 13 three-pointers in front of the second largest crowd in Prudential Center history at 16,114 to trounce the Wildcats, 79-75, while moving from the NCAA Tournament bubble to likely participants. The victory clinched a .500 or better BIG EAST conference record and third-place conference finish for a fourth consecutive season, neither of which Seton Hall had accomplished before. The Pirates then took their talents to the ‘World’s Most Famous Arena’, Madison Square Garden, and put on a show in the BIG EAST tournament. In the quarterfinal against Georgetown, Powell electrified the crowd with a tournament record for most points in a half, dropping 29 on the Hoyas in an eventual 73-57 win. In a wild semifinal against Marquette, the teams combined for 49 total fouls and three ejections, but the Pirates captured the game, 83-81. The victory brought the team to 20 wins, the first time in program history that Seton Hall had four straight 20-win
seasons. In a rematch of the 2016 title game, The Hall once again squared off with Villanova, and the Pirates took the Wildcats down to the final play of the game in a 7472 defeat. For the fourth straight year, Seton Hall was called on Selection Sunday, an accomplishment the program has only reached once before. The Pirates were also one of only 13 teams in the nation to make the NCAA Tournament each of the past four seasons (2016-19). Through all the ups and downs of the season, the Pirates could never be counted out. Even though it was unknown how the program would bounce back in 2018-19, the student-athletes proved they are a team that will always scratch and claw against any competitor, while also proving they are one of the premier programs in all of college basketball.
“We have gotten down, down, and these guys keep fighting, they keep believing, no matter what’s going on within the flow of the game,” said head coach Kevin Willard after the BIG EAST championship game. “They seem to fight everything and stay together and just keep making great plays. It’s been an absolute pleasure to be along for the ride with them.”

ACADEMIC SUCCESS VISION
To foster the overall development of all student-athletes, Academic Support Services for Student-athletes supports a holistic approach to empower each individual’s pursuit of personal success. Growth toward autonomy and focus on personal accountability remain the highest priorities. We see comprehensive support services as integral components of assisting students to developing into mature, thoughtful and independent learners and contributors to their communities. MISSION The Mission of the Office of Academic Support Services for Student-athletes and the Charles W. Doehler Academic Center for Excellence is to aid in the overall development of the student-athlete from orientation to commencement. We serve our student-athlete community guided by the principles of Catholic education and the standards of excellence set forth by the Division of Student Services, the Department of Athletics, the NCAA and the BIG EAST Conference. We recognize that all students are unique, and therefore we provide a holistic approach to supporting their efforts toward earning a degree from Seton Hall and becoming productive members of their communities. Academic Support Services for Student-athletes embraces the core values of Seton Hall University and her Catholic mission to collectively support the growth of servant leaders and socially conscious and responsive citizens.

MICHAEL NZEI...
THE WHOLE PACKAGE “He is the main reason why we are where we are as a program.” Head coach Kevin Willard understands the impact redshirt senior Michael Nzei had on the program while spending half a decade on the men’s basketball team. Yet, the impact was not only just due to basketball performance, but also the perspective Nzei brought to the individuals he came across while spending time getting better in the practice gym, bonding in the locker room and competing at Prudential Center. “Michael is as good a character, as good a person, as good a student,” Willard said. “He changed the direction of our program, not just on the basketball court, but within the university. He was the first person that I had in a long time that embraced academics and the social life of a college student and not just being a basketball player. It rubbed off on every single player that has stepped foot on campus five years ago.” In 2014, Nzei was one of six members in perhaps the greatest recruiting class Seton Hall has ever had. Featuring Isaiah Whitehead, Angel Delgado, Khadeen Carrington, Desi Rodriguez, and Ismael Sanogo, Nzei was overshadowed at first in the nationally ranked class, as he was the only player of the bunch to be redshirted for 2014-15. After sitting out one year, Nzei was active for the 2015-16 season, when he was an important role player for the eventual BIG EAST champions, as he appeared in 34 games while making three starts. The next season, Nzei played in every game for the Pirates, starting 14, including the last 12 contests down the stretch. Efficient
on both ends of the court, Nzei led the team in blocks and finished fourth on the squad in rebounding while shooting 65.9% inside the three point line, the 32nd highest mark in the nation according to KenPom. In his junior campaign, he produced an offensive rebounding percentage above 10 for the third straight year while starting half of the team’s games. In his final season, Nzei took over as one of the primary voices on the team and as one of the primary starters. The Nigerian native set career marks in scoring and rebounding, as he averaged 9.0 points and 5.2 rebounds on the season. The highlight of his regular season was his career high of 21 points on 8-of-8 shooting in the Wooden Legacy Championship against Miami that secured the tournament crown for the program while helping Nzei in being named to the All-Tournament first team. The common thread in all four of Nzei’s seasons at Seton Hall is that they all ended in trips to the NCAA Tournament. At the end of his playing career, Nzei played the most games, 135, of any individual in program history, as he also accumulated the third most wins of any player with 88 victories while being the third Pirate to ever appear in four NCAA Tournaments. He finished his career with 700 points, ranking 80th in school history. Yet, as Willard had said, it was not just basketball for Nzei. Nzei was a five-time selection to the BIG EAST All-Academic Team, the most selections any men’s basketball has ever garnered at Seton Hall. Back in March, he was named the 2019 BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the program’s first winner since 1996. Then he was crowned the recipient of the 2019
BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Award, which recognizes academic and athletic achievement as well as community service. Nzei’s dedication to the classroom was contagious as Seton Hall men’s basketball has held a cumulative grade point average above 3.0 each of the last four years, earning the NABC Team Academic Excellence Award four years running as well as the 2019 BIG EAST Academic Team Excellence Award for having the best GPA among the 10 basketball programs. Nzei was an active member of the StudentAthlete Advisory Committee and invested significant time in community service projects, especially Seton Hall’s pen pal program, which pairs student-athletes with children in the hopes of making an impact on children’s lives. He also went to Florida with his church group to connect with children and discuss the importance of faith and academics while also conducting basketball clinics. He even went back to Nigeria to donate gear and shoes that he had collected from the Seton Hall community. All of those things helped him earn a nomination for the 2019 Senior CLASS Award. Nzei, who has both his Bachelor of Science degree in economics and a Master of Business Administration, now is turning his focus to the business world, landing a position at Goldman Sachs, one of the most well-known investment firms in the country. For Michael Nzei, basketball was a platform to become the best version of himself. In his five years at Seton Hall, he worked on every aspect of himself, from his athletics to his academics, to go down as an all-time Pirates great.

PIRATE STANDOUTS
MYLES POWELL In 2017-18, Seton Hall had four premier seniors who brought the program incredible success. They led the Pirates as a collective, and there was never one player who had the keys to the team. But in 2018-19, Myles Powell grabbed those keys from head coach Kevin Willard and sped down the Garden State Parkway into the Pirate record books. Seton Hall was officially Powell’s team. Before his breakout junior campaign, Powell was the BIG EAST Most Improved Player after increasing a freshman year total of 10.7 points per game to 15.5 points per game his sophomore season. Despite the continuous evolution of the Trenton native’s game, he knew he would have to take another step with the graduation of Angel Delgado, Khadeen Carrington, Desi Rodriguez, and Ismael Sanogo. From the onset of the 2018-19 season, Powell proved he had the ability to propel the Pirates into the national
12
spotlight. Making his presence known in the Wooden Legacy tournament, Powell dropped a career-high 40 points in the first round as the Pirates went on to win the tournament title, and Powell was named Most Outstanding Player. In December, Powell once again displayed his superstar prowess against then-No. 9 Kentucky, dropping 28 points in an overtime victory over the Wildcats at Madison Square Garden, one of the largest upsets the university has ever had. Later in the season, with Seton Hall vying for a fourth straight bid in the NCAA Tournament, the Pirates had to defeat No. 16 Marquette and No. 23 Villanova in order to force their way through the bubble. The Hall did just that behind the performances of Powell, who was named BIG EAST Player of the Week after averaging 21 points in the two victories. Powell then went on to carry the Pirates to the BIG EAST Tournament final with another epic Madison Square Garden
performance. He scored a league tournament record 29 points in the first half of Seton Hall’s quarterfinal win over Georgetown and finished the three games with a tournament-high 78 points, the eighth-most in BIG EAST history. At season’s end Powell became the first Pirate since 2009 to finish in the NCAA’s top 20 in scoring, averaging 23.1 points per game that was good for 13th. He also finished in the NCAA top 35 in steals and three-pointers made, tying the school’s single-season record with 107 triples. The lethal scoring machine also shot up 43 spots in the university’s all-time scoring leaderboard to 12th from the constant production. Powell ended the season with prestigious accolades. He was named an Associated Press All-America honorable mention, unanimous first-team All-BIG EAST, NABC and USBWA All-District, and he was the 2019 recipient of the Lieutenant Frank J. Haggerty Award as the Met Writers Player of the Year.
It was the softball program’s best season of the decade, and Hailey Arteaga made sure of it. The Hall’s left fielder led the offense to the tune of team-bests of 38 RBIs and a .408 batting average, becoming the second Pirate to ever hit over .400 in a season. The all-time breakout performance came after hitting a hair under .300 in both her freshman and sophomore campaigns. Arteaga hit early and often for the Pirates and had 22 multi-hit games, hitting safely in 37 of the 47 games she played in. She made every BIG EAST pitcher earn an out against her, with only four strikeouts in 19 conference games. Arteaga provided some pop as well for The Hall. She hit six home runs on the season, collecting 17 doubles and a triple to round out her extra base hits. Arteaga’s 17 doubles would have set a program record for the Pirates, but teammate Janae
Barracato also had a monster season of two-baggers with 20 doubles. By the end of the season, Arteaga broke into the school’s record books by becoming top-five in single season statistics for average, doubles, and total hits. The historic campaign culminated in a First Team All-BIG EAST honor and a Second Team NFCA All-Region laurel.

HAILEY ARTEAGA
During the year, Arteaga and the outfield dubbed the 2019 campaign, ‘Savage Season’. Arteaga described the moniker as an “evolution of the outfield”. She said it helped her play more aggressive, along with the rest of the outfielders. Head coach Paige Smith loved the personality Arteaga and the group displayed, showing their love for the game and each other, “They are savage in everything they do, mostly because they are having fun,” Smith said during the season. “They play the game like it is meant to be.”
DAVID ARVIDSSON David Arvidsson only spent one year at Seton Hall, but made nearly four years worth of contributions in his short stint. Before transferring to the Pirates as a graduate student-athlete, Arvidsson played three seasons at LIU Post under the watch of current Seton Hall head coach Andreas Lindberg. With the Pioneers, Arvidsson developed one of the most impressive reputations on the Division II level: Two-time D2CCA AllAmerican, two-time NSCAA All-Region selection, 2016 East Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year, and three-time All-ECC selection. Once he arrived in South Orange, Arvidsson’s impact was immediately felt around the locker room, on the pitch, and in the classroom. He took his experience as a two-time captain at LIU Post and implemented his guidance to his new teammates, as he was named captain for the 2018 season with the Pirates.
up the accolades in Division II. The Sweden native started every BIG EAST game at center back for the Hall, solidifying and strengthening the backline from the previous season. The addition of Arvidsson in the back helped The Hall drop its collective GAA by more than half a goal per game. His efforts landed him on the All-BIG EAST Second Team, an impressive accomplishment and a testament to his respect from other BIG EAST coaches. In the classroom, his performance was just as impressive as it was on the pitch. Arvidsson was Seton Hall’s selection at BIG EAST Male ScholarAthlete of the Year, becoming the eighth male soccer player to win the award. He also involved himself around the campus as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Diplomacy & International Relations and was a member of the executive board for the International Affairs Graduate Diplomacy Council.
On the pitch, Arvidsson was every bit of the player he was while racking

TAYLOR CUTCLIFF A captain is someone who leads by example, is trusted by teammates, and someone to look up to. Senior Taylor Cutcliff was not just the captain of the women’s soccer team this past year, but a captain the student body at Seton Hall. By all accounts, she is the ideal studentathlete. A young woman that any parent would be proud of for her efforts in the classroom, in the community and on the field of competition. As an athlete, the Pennsylvania native was a cemented fixture on the Pirate squad, starting 16 games as a senior while registering the third most minutes on the team. Each year, Cutcliff became more and more instrumental in the team’s efforts, going from just four appearances as a freshman, to ten starts as a junior, and a full-time starter during final campaign. A crucial element in the back line, Cutcliff helped the Pirates register four shutouts in 2018. Although she gradually became more involved as an athlete as she spent more time at the university, Cutcliff demonstrated academic success during her first semester in South Orange, and was one of just four studentathletes honored by Seton Hall for posting a perfect GPA during the fall semester as a freshman. At the end of the second semester, she would be named Freshman ScholarAthlete of the Year.
Only more was to come for the senior captain in the classroom, as she was named a member of the Seton Hall Athletics Academic All-Star team as a sophomore, junior, and senior, and was top-10 in GPA of all Seton Hall athletes each of those three years. Cutcliff was also named to the All-BIG EAST Academic team all four years during her tenure at The Hall. Cutcliff earned Dean’s List honors every single semester of her collegiate career and was the president of three separate clubs on campus. Her involvement earned Cutcliff the 2017-18 Celebratory Student of the Year, honoring her achievements as a student worker. The next year, Cutlciff represented the university as the school’s Woman of the Year for National Women and Girls in Sports Day Celebration, presented by the NJAIAW. At the conclusion of the 2018-19 academic and athletic year, Cutcliff was named the Most Valuable Pirate, given to the studentathlete whom excels the most on the field, in the classroom and in the community. Her contribution to the Seton Hall family goes beyond her athletic abilities, and will be forever valued by the university, her classmates, and community.
SHADEEN SAMUELS For Shadeen Samuels, describing her junior season as a ‘breakout’ would do injustice to her. Samuels’ ascension from steady contributor to BIG EAST star happened nearly overnight. The result was one of the greatest seasons in Seton Hall women’s basketball history. After displaying moments of greatness in her sophomore campaign, where her play garnered her the opportunity to start all 32 games, Samuels’ junior year cemented her as an elite player among the conference. Although she established herself as an elite defender in her sophomore season, Samuels may also be the best offensive player in the BIG EAST. A year removed from averaging 7.5 points per game, Samuels earned the conference scoring title with 20.3 points per game in league play in 2018-19. She became only the second Pirate in school history to be the BIG EAST’s number one scorer. In the process of becoming the most prominent scorer in the BIG EAST, Samuels drastically improved her shooting efficiency. Her sophomore year, Samuels shot 46.7 percent from the field, which elevated to 54.5 percent this past season. That was the fourth highest percentage in the conference.

Samuels also added another aspect to her arsenal in becoming a threat from behind the arc. Freshman year, Samuels only attempted five 3-pointers and did not register her first basket from outside the perimeter until her sophomore season, where she shot 27.6 percent on 29 attempts. Junior season, Samuels registered a 35.5 percent 3-point percentage on 93 attempts, proving she can score within the paint and from the outside. Samuels was not just a scorer on offense, she was also an elite rebounder. Continuing the rebounding success she had her sophomore campaign, Samuels averaged 8.6 rebounds as a junior, fourth in the BIG EAST. Almost half of her rebounds came off shots from the Pirates, as she ranked fourth in the league in offensive rebounds. Samuels finished with nine doubledoubles on the year, with seven of those double-doubles ending as ‘20 and 10’ games. The recognition Samuels received for her skills was well deserved at the end of the season. Not only was she awarded BIG EAST Most Improved Player, but Samuels was named First Team All-BIG EAST and First Team All-Met. With her senior year next, Samuel’s potential is limitless while at the forefront for the Pirates.

GEN NAGAI It is impossible to mention Gen Nagai without also mentioning Chris Yeom, and vice versa. For four years, they were instrumental in Seton Hall’s meteoric rise to the top of the BIG EAST golf standings. Along with former teammate Lloyd Jefferson Go, they presided over arguably the greatest era of Seton Hall men’s golf. Three of the four lowest single-year scoring averages for Seton Hall came during the careers of Nagai and Yeom, including a program record 290.68 during their sophomore year. In each of the last three years with Nagai and Yeom in the lineup, The Hall has tallied top-four finishes at the BIG EAST Championship. As seniors, both Nagai and Yeom were named to the All-BIG EAST First Team, PING All-Region Team and both were named Academic Merit Award recipients. Yeom ranked third in the BIG
CHRIS YEOM EAST with a 72.72 stroke average, while Nagai finished fifth with a 73.16 mark. Yet it was Nagai who finished with four top-10 finishes to Yeom’s one, and seven sub-par rounds, to Yeom’s five. Nagai had two sub-par tournaments during the 2018-19 year. He fired a 5-under-par, 69-70-139, at the Hartford Hawks Invitational, and tied for second with a 7-under-par, 71-72-66-209, at the Loyola Intercollegiate. His third-round, 66, tied for the third-lowest par-72 score in Pirate history. Yeom broke Seton Hall’s par-72, tworound record by tying for second place with an 8-under-par, 67-69-136, at the rain-shortened Hartford Hawks Invitational. Historically, the parallels of the careers of Nagai and Yeom are unavoidable. Yeom’s career 73.58 stroke average ranks second-lowest in Seton Hall
history, just .05 ahead of Nagai, whose 73.63 ranks third. Nagai ranks second all-time with 122 rounds played, three more of Yeom, whose 119 ranks third. Nagai ranks second with 30 career subpar rounds and third with eight sub-par tournaments, while Yeom is third with 25 sub-par rounds and fourth with seven sub-par tournaments. Yeom is a three-time All-BIG EAST performer, four-time BIG EAST AllAcademic Team member and the 2018 BIG EAST Championship runnerup. Nagai is a two-time All-BIG EAST performer, four-time BIG EAST AllAcademic Team member and the 2017 BIG EAST Championship runner-up. Needless to say, the Seton Hall men’s golf team wouldn’t be the successful program it is today without the remarkable careers of Gen Nagai and Chris Yeom.

TYLER SHEDLER-MCAVOY In his first two years at Seton Hall, Tyler Shedler-McAvoy established himself as a strong defender with elite speed on the base paths. As a junior however, the Pirate outfielder’s entire game blossomed, and he evolved into one of the top hitters in the BIG EAST Conference and a Player of the Year candidate. Death, taxes and Shedler-McAvoy starting in center field for the Seton Hall Pirates… those are three guarantees in South Orange as the speedster started all 53 games, and often batted in the heart of the order. In the field, he did not commit a single error in 115 defensive chances, which is the seventh-most chances without an error in Seton Hall history. He only has two career errors in the last three years. Shedler-McAvoy continued to terrorize on the base paths in 2019, leading the BIG EAST with a career-high 22 stolen bases, which contributed to a team-best 40 runs scored. One of the contributing factors to his high stolen base total was a career-best .406 onbase percentage. Shedler-McAvoy walked (28) more times than he struck out (24) for the first time in his career.
The largest maturation in Shedler-McAvoy’s game in 2019 was his performance at the plate. The Pirate speedster led Seton Hall in batting average, hits, triples and RBIs. His .324 batting average ranked seventh in the BIG EAST, while his 37 RBIs were fifth and his six triples were second-most. ShedlerMcAvoy led Seton Hall with 18 multi-hit games and 11 multi-RBI contests in 2019. Twice, the outfielder had hit streaks of at least 10 consecutive games. He’ll carry a 10-game hit streak, and a team-best 22-game on-base streak into the 2020 season. On May 6, Shedler-McAvoy became the first player in Seton Hall history to be named BIG EAST Player of the Week in back-toback weeks after batting .500 with 18 hits, 12 RBIs and six stolen bases in nine games. Among several standout performances, he had three hits and drove in a career-high five runs in a series clinching victory at Iona on May 31, and he missed the cycle by just a single, going 3-for-5 with a home run, a triple, a double and three RBIs at Xavier on May 4. For his many efforts this season, ShedlerMcAvoy was named to the All-BIG EAST First Team.
ABBY THELEN How does a legendary volleyball player follow up a historically impressive junior season? She repeats it. That’s exactly how Abby Thelen closed out her remarkable collegiate career, earning unanimous First Team All-BIG EAST accolades for the second time. Thelen became the first Seton Hall nonlibero to be named to the BIG EAST Conference All-First Team in back-to-back seasons since Pirate great Perette Arrington in 1993 and 1994. The versatile Thelen has started at middle blocker and outside hitter, and seen action playing all six rotations in her career, which spans 120 matches and 441 sets played. In 2018, she was at the top of her craft, setting a new career-high with 3.72 kills per set, which ranked fourth-best in the BIG EAST. Showing supreme efficiency, she also set a career-best with a .277 attack percentage and notched her fewest attack errors since her freshman year. Named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll three times, Thelen had 11 matches in which she recorded at least 15 kills, a team-high.

She was named to a pair of All-Tournament Teams during the non-conference portion of the season, and was a member of the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team. Thelen closed out her career with arguably her greatest match. On November 17 at DePaul, she had a match-high 23 kills, with only one attack error and a .647 attack percentage in only three sets. Named Seton Hall’s Senior Female Athlete of the Year, Thelen is equally impressive off the volleyball court. A three-time BIG EAST All-Academic Team member and Academic Merit Award recipient, she was one of only 30 players nationwide to be named a candidate for the Senior CLASS Award, which honors athletes for their work on the court, in the classroom and in the University community. Thelen closes out her remarkable career at Seton Hall ranked sixth all-time with over 1,300 career kills and fifth-most with more than 3,500 career attacks.
The caliber of an athlete, as seen through a spectator, is largely based on how “clutch” they are. When the team is most vulnerable, or most in need, how they perform in those situations will reflect their talents and ultimately their legacy. When the Seton Hall men’s swimming & diving team needed an impressive effort from Dakota Williams in pivotal moments, Williams delivered while shattering records along the way. From the time he was just a sophomore, Williams performed best in the team’s most important meets. At the 2016-17 BIG EAST Championship, Williams won an incredible three different gold medals for the Pirates. In the 50 & 100 freestyle, Williams beat out the best the conference had to offer, and in a team effort, aided The Hall in a school record for the 400 freestyle relay as the University would capture the BIG EAST title. As Seton Hall attempted to repeat as BIG EAST Champions in 2017-18, Williams once again used his best performances of the year in hopes of a repeat. In the 50 free, he recorded a winning time of 20.11, and also walked away victorious in the 100 free with another record time
of 44.26. Williams would also repeat in the 400 free relay, as he played a major part in guiding the Pirates to back-toback BIG EAST Championships. During the 2019 BIG EAST Championship, Williams lowered his own school records again in the 50 & 100 free with times of 20.05 and 44.24, respectively. He also placed top-three in the 200 freestyle relay and the 400 medley relay.

DAKOTA WILLIAMS
Without question, Williams has left a lasting impact as one of the best swimmers to ever step foot on campus at The Hall. In total, he placed in the top-10 all-time in six different races. Four of those performances came when it mattered most, as they were recorded at the BIG EAST Championship. Williams also owns school records in the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 400 freestyle relay, and 400 medley relay. During one of the greatest runs in program history, Williams peaked when it mattered most, delivered on the biggest stages with eight BIG EAST gold medals, and solidified his legacy at Seton Hall.
LIZZIE WIN With every passing year, the legend of Lizzie Win continues to grow at Seton Hall. Already sitting atop the Pirate record books, Win took another step towards stardom last year, winning her first tournament and playing in a Ladies Professional Golf Tour (LPGA) event. Named to the All-BIG EAST Team for a third consecutive year, Win broke Seton Hall’s single-year record with a 74.92 stroke average, which ranked second in the BIG EAST Conference. She was the individual runner-up at the 2019 BIG EAST Championship, which earned her a berth on the All-Tournament Team for a second straight year. In 10 tournaments, Win notched six top-10 finishes, four subpar rounds and was twice named BIG EAST Women’s Golfer of the Week. On October 21, Win won her first collegiate tournament in recordbreaking fashion. With a 3-overpar, 69-74-73-216, she claimed the individual title of the Delaware Lady Blue Hen Invitational and broke Seton Hall’s par-71, three-round record.
Win even started the year with a bang. On September 23 on the Nittany Lion Invitational’s par-3, No. 4 hole, she shot the first hole-in-one during tournament play in Seton Hall history. A three-time Women’s Golf Coaches’ Association All-American Scholar and BIG EAST All-Academic Team member, Win enters her senior year needing just three top-10 finishes and two top-5 finishes to reach the top of those respective lists at Seton Hall. She’s also vying with current teammates Mia Kness and Carolina Ronchel Salas for the lowest career stroke average, currently sitting at 76.08. Even when not representing Seton Hall, Win has become a force on the course. This past summer, she qualified for the Marathon LPGA Classic for a second straight year. She remains the only current or former Pirate to play an LPGA event. Win also played in the British Amateur in the summer of 2019.

COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT For the sixth consecutive academic year, student-athletes set records for participation and volunteering in the community. In total, they amassed 3,233 volunteer hours, which averaged out to 12.98 hours per student-athlete. This continues to reinforce the university-led Servant Leadership core principle. In addition to a continued record growth in community outreach participation from student-athletes, they also went through significant trainings throughout the year that focused on career development and overall student-athlete welfare. These events included, the following educational seminars and training events:
LEADERSHIP & CAREER DEVELOPMENT This year, the H.A.L.L.

LEADERSHIP FORUM A signature event of the Helping Athletes Learn to be Leaders (H.A.L.L.) Program, the Seton Hall University Department of Athletics hosted its ninth annual Patrick M. and Mary Ann Pfaff Murray Leadership Forum for Student-Athletes on Feb. 6, 2019, welcoming a trio of distinguished professionals and Seton Hall University graduates to Bethany Hall for a career-oriented discussion and networking opportunity.
• What it takes to obtain success in leadership positions • How to network in today’s fast-paced world • How technology shapes today’s workforce • Learning from mistakes and becoming better because of them • Changing jobs and careers midlife
Those invited to participate were:
• How to be adaptable in today’s workplace
• Shannon Boyle, a private wealth advisor at Morgan Stanley and a four-year women’s golfer at North Carolina
• Being knowledgeable about current events
• Bryan Price, Ph.D, a the founding executive director of the Buccino Leadership Institute here at Seton Hall University, a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Military, and a threeyear starter on the Army West Point baseball team • Darrell K.

Throughout the evening, the panelists shared insight and advice derived from their own experiences and their respective paths to becoming leaders in their fields. But rather than simply be a lecture to the student-athletes, the event offered the opportunity for student-athletes to participate in an open dialogue with the panelists. Topics included: • The benefits of being a student-athlete and how it impacts life in the workforce • Leadership skills for millennials compared to other generations • Working your way up the corporate ladder
In addition to the event’s question and answer session, there was also a reception held in the Bethany Hall lobby, where student-athletes were afforded the opportunity to have one-on-one conversation with each of the speakers. One of the many professional development initiatives H.A.L.L. Program calendar, the forum was open to student-athletes of all classes and saw all 14 varsity teams represented. “It’s really important to build connections with people and also maintain those connections throughout your career because you may have a lot of accolades, but it’s not all about what you know; it’s also about who you know,” said Gianna Tomeo, a senior on the women’s golf team. “They talked a lot about adaptability, flexibility, resilience, and I think those are the most important characteristics that someone could take from a night like this. It was amazing having the three panelists here with such diverse experiences and being able to talk to them and ask questions throughout the night is definitely one of a kind and I’m very grateful for it,” said Christian Kopecki, a freshman on the men’s swimming & diving team. The Leadership Forum was re-named in September 2015 in honor of Pat ‘64, MBA ‘72 and Mary Ann Murray, who generously made a gift to the Pirate Blue Athletic Fund in support of the event.

“ SHE CAN” WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP EVENT By Robert Fallo For a second straight year, Seton Hall Athletics and the H.A.L.L. Program presented the “SHE Can” Women’s Leadership Series event. This year’s occurrence featured four women who held leadership positions in male dominated industries, demonstrating how to give the female-athletes at the University, in the words of Senior Associate Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator Rachelle Paul, “a sense of what it is like to be a woman” in such fields.
Compliance Officer at ITT Inc., Laura Moffat, Co-Founder and Director of Marketing at Kirrin Finch, Rocio PortelaBerrios, Attorney at Millbank LLP and Jen Zudonyi, Director of Brand Marketing at Bleacher Report, discussed their experiences and how they broke through in their respective fields. An important aspect of getting to where they were was by overcoming challenges due to gender. “To have those female relationships, which have gone through the same type of trials and tribulations, if you will, that other women would have gone through, is helpful,” said Paul. “It’s always helpful to have another person to lean on and other people to rely on and talk to and use to help you understand you are not going through it alone. Someone else has done it and gone through it before you, and there are certainly people that are behind you going to go through it.” Paige Smith, The Hall’s head softball coach, sees on a personal level how the women leadership events have affected her players.
“We really wanted them to discuss their experiences as females and being former student athletes and what they have learned, how they have used those skills in their current role,” said Paul. “Let our female students athletes see how other women got in other industries and see how they survived.” The speakers at the event, which included Mary Beth Gustafsson, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief 32
“Being an athlete on campus is a full time job,” said Smith. “Adding extra events, as much it is to help them, their immediate thought is going to be ‘oh but I have that test to study for, or that paper to write, or, I have to see my friend.’ I think the best thing for this event is that when we plan it, these girls are looking forward to the event and are excited for it. You give them opportunities to meet high level professionals they would never have the chance to meet.”
The ability for the female athletes to come together at an event like this will also have the potential to create life-long relationships. “I think it is important for our female student-athletes to build a foundation, whether it be with their colleagues, their teammates, their classmates,” said Paul. “It is important for females to have a network of other females to help. It is important we instill in these young female athletes how important it is to grow this network of other females to help us all rise as we go.” Paul and Smith are among Seton Hall administrators and coaches planning to continue this women’s leadership series, with possibly adding events in upcoming years.

PIRATE BLUE STORY The Pirate Blue Athletic Fund is the fundraising arm of the Seton Hall Department of Athletics and directly supports the department and its student-athletes. Pirate Blue strives to embrace and engage the most dedicated Pirate fans within the Seton Hall community to further promote the passion and camaraderie that makes the University so unique. The success that Seton Hall student-athletes have been able to achieve would not be possible without the loyal Pirate Blue members who have generously supported the programs. The 2018-19 fiscal year proved to be another banner achievement for Pirate Blue, which raised $3 million for a third consecutive year! The numbers are a reflection of the enthusiasm Pirate Blue members have for the athletic prowess, academic excellence and servant leadership that Seton Hall
student-athletes display each and every day. Once again, funds raised by Pirate Blue played a major role in facility upgrades within the athletics department in 2018-19, most notably the transformation of Owen T. Carroll Field into a stadium fit for Seton Hall’s baseball, men’s soccer and women’s soccer programs. The project will include chairback seating, press boxes, restrooms and new dugouts. As Pirate Blue turns the page to 2019-20, the focus is on the renovation of historic Walsh Gymnasium that will take place over the summer. The project, which includes new seating, a new videoboard, a new court floor and new baskets, will help modernize the facility and deliver a better experience for both the student-athletes of women’s basketball and volleyball and the fans who
attend the games. In addition, Pirate Blue is aiming to raise money towards a new men’s basketball practice facility, which will strengthen the program’s efforts to remain a national power and an annual contender for the BIG EAST Championship. As always, Pirate Blue is also trying to identify new Pirate Blue members who are passionate about Seton Hall Athletics and its mission to provide quality opportunities and programs that enable student-athletes to maximize their personal potential. In addition to supporting student-athletes, there are many great benefits to becoming a member of Pirate Blue, including exclusive events and ticket opportunities, gifts and more.

2019 SETON HALL ATHLETICS
HALL OF FAME CLASS On June 19, In a fun-filled evening in front of family and friends inside Bethany Hall on the campus of Seton Hall University, six distinguished individuals took their place in Seton Hall history with their inductions in the Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Fame. Joining the list of all-time Pirates greats are Larry Keating, Joe LaSala J.D. ‘72, Eoin Monahan ‘91, Rich Scheid ‘94, Ka-Deidre Simmons ‘15 and Laura Taylor ‘05. The Hall of Fame, which was established in 1973, now stands at 243 individuals and two teams. Larry Keating, a native of Long Island, N.Y., was Director of Athletics at Seton Hall from 198597 during a very prosperous time for the department that included 10 BIG EAST championships and 15 NCAA Tournament appearances. Seton Hall challenged for national 34
championships multiple times during his tenure, including the men’s basketball team playing in the national championship game in 1989 and the Elite Eight in 1991, the women’s basketball team reaching the Sweet Sixteen in 1994 and the men’s soccer team advancing to the NCAA quarterfinals in 1988. Keating was also influential in staff and facility enlargements, expansion of season ticket growth and fundraising and the addition of women’s soccer as a varsity sport. Joseph LaSala J.D. ‘72, originally from Cedar Grove, N.J., sits on the Seton Hall University Law School Board of Visitors as former chair and previously was a member of the Seton Hall Board of Regents and chaired the Athletics Subcommittee from 1993-2000. During that time period, athletics experienced great success, including nine NCAA
Tournament appearances and BIG EAST Championships in men’s basketball, men’s golf and women’s track & field. A well respected attorney, LaSala is a partner at McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter and has received numerous awards and honors for his work, including the 2017 New Jersey State Bard Foundation’s Medal of Honor. Eoin Monahan ‘91, originally from Bray, Ireland, helped Seton Hall to three NCAA Tournament appearances and a pair of BIG EAST Tournament championships in his four years in South Orange and was one of the top offensive threats on the team. At the time of his graduation, he was fourth in program history in points (84) and is still ninth today. He also is top 10 in goals scored (30) and assists (24). His four assists in a single match
against St. John’s set a school record that has only been matched twice since. He was the 1987 BIG EAST South Division Rookie of the Year, a 1990 All-BIG EAST selection as well as a 1988 All-New Jersey and AllMid-Atlantic Region pick. Rich Scheid ‘94, a Staten Island, N.Y., native, was part of the pitching-rich era of Seton Hall baseball and proved to be one of the best. The left-hander was second all-time in career strikeouts (234, now sixth) and complete games (13) when he was drafted by the New York Yankees in the second round of the 1986 MLB Draft. Also tied for ninth in career wins (21), he was a two-time All-BIG EAST selection in 1985, when his 117 strikeouts were second-most in single-season history, and in 1986, when he led the team in wins, ERA, strikeouts and complete games
and was named New Jersey Pitcher of the Year. He went on to play in parts of three seasons in Major League Baseball, mostly with the Florida Marlins. Ka-Deidre Simmons ‘15, from right down the road in Newark, led Seton Hall women’s basketball back into national prominence, guiding the Pirates to a national ranking and the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance in 20 years in 2015. She is the school’s all-time leader in assists (562) and free throws made (502), third in points (1,717) and second in steals (257). Her 2015 season is one of the best in school history with averages of 17.0 points, 5.7 assists and 2.2 steals as the Pirates won the BIG EAST co-regular season championship and earned an NCAA Tournament at-large bid. She was a 2015 Associated Press All-America
honorable mention, two-time All-BIG EAST first team pick and the 2015 Met Writers Women’s Basketball Player of the Year. Laura Taylor ‘05, a native of Hockessin, Del., was a powerhouse offensive player at Seton Hall, helping the Pirates to back-toback BIG EAST Tournament championships and NCAA Tournament appearances in 2004 and 2005. She is the program’s alltime leader in home runs (59) and runs batted in (160) as well as top 10 in batting average (.309), base hits (180), doubles (33) and walks (103). She was the 2005 BIG EAST Player of the Year, a three-time All-BIG EAST first team selection and finished her career as the BIG EAST’s all-time leader in conference home runs (24). She also was the NCAA’s home run champion as a freshman in 2002 (0.40 per game).

We will always strive to have Pirate Pride and Excellence in everything we do. Therefore, what we have now is the “Pride and Excellence” campaign for Seton Hall Athletics.
Your annual support of Pirate Blue will continue to remain critical to Seton Hall University Athletics success, while the Pride & Excellence campaign will enable us to raise capital funds for larger facility projects on a regular basis. Your generous support of the Seton Hall Athletics Capital Campaign will play a key role in the continuing advancement of our entire athletic program and in the lives of more than 200 young men and women who wear a Seton Hall uniform.
Many projects have already been completed, with the construction of new locker room facilities for all of Seton
Pirate Blue is proud to recognize those who have gone the extra mile in support of the Pirates. All gifts and pledges to our past capital projects and the current “Pride & Excellence” campaign are essential to the overall success of our teams and programs. The following page is a listing of generous donors who have contributed over the past year.

Hall’s Olympic sports, a new varsity weight room and team video room were completed in 2015. Renovations to the Mike Sheppard Softball Field and varsity tennis courts, in addition to the creation of a high-tech Golf Lab occurred in 2016. In 2017, we unveiled a new lobby for the Richie Regan Recreation Center, a dedicated Hall of Fame area and new administrative offices. We installed a new scoreboard for the Arthur E. Imperatore Natatorium, renovated batting cages for baseball and softball, and opened a refueling station designed to replenish student-athletes after practices and workouts. Massive enhancements to Owen T. Carroll Field are underway and a new-look Walsh Gymnasium is down the road.
