Letter from Pat Lyons Dear Pirate Blue Members, This is my eighth Seton Hall Athletics Annual Report since becoming Director of Athletics, and though I am not one to spend much time looking back, I want to reflect for a second on 2011 and the first annual report letter I wrote to you: “My goal as athletics director, and our goal as a department, is to build a culture of excellence.” Here we are, seven years later, and I am proud to say that we exhibit excellence in so many areas. Our academic excellence has never been better. At the end of every spring semester for the last seven years, our department grade point average has risen. And the Spring 2018 semester brought us a new benchmark as our talented student-athletes combined for a 3.405 GPA, surpassing 3.4 for the first time ever. This is the result of incredible hard work, attention to detail, organization and time management that our student-athletes display each and every day. Over 80 percent of our student-athletes had a 3.0 GPA or better this past academic year, a feat that few athletics departments can claim. Our athletic excellence continues to shine. Both our men’s & women’s basketball programs reached national postseason with our men advancing to the NCAA Tournament a third consecutive year and winning the program’s first tournament game since 2004. The men were ranked as high as No. 13 in the country during the season, bringing Seton Hall Athletics into the national spotlight throughout the winter months. Our men’s swimming & diving team brought home a second straight BIG EAST

Championship, this year in thrilling fashion with a final-day comeback. Our baseball and women’s golf teams both finished as the BIG EAST Championship runner-up in their respective sports; women’s golf earned first or second now for the fourth time in the last five years and baseball reached the title game for the first time since 2011. Individually, 37 student-athletes earned All-BIG EAST honors and 10 were crowned individual BIG EAST champions in swimming & diving. The excellence our student-athletes exhibit in the community is second to none. One of our core principles as a University is servant leadership, and a record 3,213 volunteer hours performed in 2017-18 speaks to the dedication our young men and women have for making a difference. Whether it is serving as a pen pal, picking vegetables for the hungry, reading to children in class or helping incoming freshmen on move-in day, our student-athletes are impactful. The excellence our student-athletes exhibit is also reflected in the facilities they utilize. We are proud that we have been able to modernize and upgrade most of the areas that our studentathletes need to learn and compete. This past year, we opened a new batting cage that better serves our baseball and softball teams, and we opened the Pirate Refueling Station, a space that will help our student-athletes replenish after a workout or practice and also serve as a team meal space. We are now excited to commence work on renovating Owen T. Carroll Field to create a stadium that will benefit our baseball and soccer programs. The project will include new chair back seating, press boxes, restrooms and a new turf surface. This will help

elevate the student-athlete experience when competing and give our fans a better experience when coming to support the Pirates. One area that does not get talked about enough is the excellence our Pirate Blue members show with their tremendous support. Whether it has been a financial gift, a season ticket, participating in one of our events, even a simple message of encouragement, Pirate Blue Nation has been there to ensure that our studentathletes receive the best possible experience. And as we turn the page to 2018-19, we look forward to your continued support and to cultivating more relationships with folks who are eager to get behind a thriving athletics department that is focused on academic, athletic and community excellence. On behalf of all our student-athletes, coaches and administrators, thank you for supporting Seton Hall Athletics and Pirate Blue. I hope that you enjoy our 2017-18 annual report and re-live all the wonderful accomplishments from this past year.

he 2017-2018 season was arguably the most anticipated season Seton Hall men’s basketball has seen since the early 1990’s, led by the core group of seniors in Angel Delgado, Khadeen Carrington, Desi Rodriguez, and Ismael Sanogo, who felt like they still had something to prove. They had captured a BIG EAST Tournament championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in back-to-back seasons, but this group was after some March Madness glory.

against Butler due to injury, their fellow seniors filled the void. Carrington dropped a team-high 25 points and nailed the dagger three-pointer with 1:03 left to put the Pirates up 69-59. Delgado was a force in the paint scoring 21 points and snatching 10 rebounds as the Pirates won, 77-70.

The Pirates came out firing early in the season compiling an 11-2 record in non-conference action. The end of November into early December provided electricity as the Pirates knocked off No. 22 Texas Tech at Madison Square Garden in the Under Armour Reunion and then won at No. 17 Louisville three days later on a last-second Rodriguez shot to complete one of the most thrilling weeks in recent time. It was the first time the Pirates had defeated top-25 opponents in back-to-back games since the 2016 BIG EAST Tournament.

As the No. 8 seed in the Midwest Regional, the Pirates traveled to Wichita. Kan., to face No. 9 seed NC State with only one thing in mind: win the program’s first NCAA Tournament game in 14 years.

The Pirates opened BIG EAST play at home in a matchup with No. 25 Creighton, the first time a ranked Seton Hall team faced a fellow ranked team since 2001. After struggling on defense in the first half, allowing 53 points, the Pirates kicked it into high gear in the second half and finally took the lead back, 77-76, with 6:51 to play on a Rodriguez steal and fastbreak layup. The Pirates then locked down defensively down the stretch, holding the Bluejays scoreless for the final 3:32 of the game to close out a 90-84 victory. Ten days later, the Pirates were 3-0 in the BIG EAST for the first time since 1998-99 after dispatching Butler on the road for a second straight year, 9087, with Delgado posting 28 points, 15 rebounds and six assists and Carrington draining a careerhigh seven threes en route to a 29-point day. The hot start catapulted the Pirates to No. 13 in the Associated Press top 25 poll, their highest ranking since 2000.

With RPI and KenPom ratings in the top 30, it was clear that Seton Hall belonged with the big boys, and the Pirates received their third consecutive bid to the NCAA Tournament, something the program had only done once before when they made four straight appearances from 1991-1994.

The Pirates came out of the gates swinging, shooting 52 percent from the floor in the first half to take a 51-41 halftime lead. With the Wolfpack making a charge in the second half to cut the Pirate lead to three, the Pirates had to call on their veterans to lead the way. Sanogo delivered his first career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Carrington took over down the stretch, scoring 13 of his team high 26 points over the final eight minutes of the game to close out a 94-83 victory for The Hall. Seton Hall’s second-round opponent was topseed Kansas, also ranked No. 4 in the country. The game took place only 163 miles away from the Jayhawks campus in front of predominantly Jayhawks fans. However, Seton Hall would not be intimidated, and big man Delgado would not go down quietly. The best center in the country dominated with 24 points and a career-high 23 rebounds, the first player to produce a 20-20 against a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament since 1983. The herculean effort, alongside 28 points from Carrington, just wasn’t enough against a loaded Kansas squad that shot 50 percent for the game and received 10 more free throw attempts than The Hall, resulting in a 83-79 loss.

The Hall split its next six games, including a road win at DePaul on a day Delgado became the BIG EAST Conference’s all-time leader in rebounds, and a demolition of Providence at home, 73-57, on the strength of 23 points and seven assists from Carrington. February got off to a rough start as a four-game slide put The Hall under .500, but the Pirates proved to be resilient, especially on the road. After an injury to Rodriguez led to The Hall’s road game at Providence being suspended due to unsafe floor conditions, the Pirates came back the next morning and topped the Friars in a new venue. Only 48 hours later, they went to Madison Square Garden and took down St. John’s in overtime to climb back to 9-7 in the league.

Even in defeat, these seniors showed the fight and determination that it takes to be a Seton Hall Pirate, persevering through adversity.

The Pirates took No. 4 ranked Villanova to the limit in front of a raucous Prudential Center crowd, and then on an emotional Senior Night that featured a touching pregame ceremony, the Pirates had an opportunity to secure third place in the conference for a third straight year. Although both Rodriguez and Sanogo were unable to play in the game

“The guys left everything on the floor, and I’m really proud of my teammates,” Delgado said. “I would not change these guys for anybody in the country.”

“It’s why I love these guys,” a tearful Kevin Willard expressed after that game back in March. “They never, ever walked off the floor without giving it their all, and I think that’s something that not a whole lot of kids can say for their careers.” While their times wearing the blue and white had come to an end, one thing about these student-athletes that will be remembered just as much as their play is their love for one another.

Pirates fans would say the same thing as the era that came to a close will not soon be forgotten.

Pirates Complete Comeback, Repeat as BIG EAST Champions BIG EAST Conference championships are very difficult to win.

As well as anyone, Seton Hall swimming & diving understands how challenging it is to reach the pinnacle after capturing its first title in program history last year. In order to bring the crown back to South Orange, the Pirates had some major work to do after falling to third in the team standings halfway through competition at the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio this past February. One of the program’s strongest events, the 200 free provided a much-needed spark on Day Three when the Pirates went 1-2-4 to score massive points and shift momentum towards the Blue & White. Senior Vadim Jacobson (Arnold, Md.) won gold after touching the wall in 1:36.41, and was followed by classmate Noah Yanchulis (Arnold, Md.) in second place and junior Dakota Williams (Noank, Conn.) in fourth. A rising star in the program, sophomore Josh Tosoni (Arnold, Md.) broke through with his first career BIG EAST titles this year including a crucial victory in the 100 breast (54.92) near the end of Day Three to help cut Villanova’s

lead in the standings from 85 points on Friday morning down to just 23.5 heading into Championship Saturday. With just six events remaining in the meet the Pirates delivered a dominating effort in the 100 free as Williams (44.26), Yanchulis (44.50) and Jacobson (44.67) finished 1-2-3 to give Seton Hall its first lead of the competition. In respective order, the three times in the event are three fastest recorded in program history. Tosoni then came through in the clutch again to pick up his second BIG EAST gold medal – this time it was the 200 breast where he swam an incredible 1:59.41 to keep momentum going The Hall’s way. Next up was the 200 fly – and it could not have been more thrilling. Senior Matt Zebrowski (Sayreville, N.J.) came through with an effort that was in some ways a microcosm of how the meet had played out for the entire team to that point. He trailed the leader for approximately 199 yards of the event, but as the pack pounded through the water down the stretch his incredible effort and drive allowed him to out-touch

his competition and earn the title. His effort brought his boisterous teammates and supporters to their feet as they could hardly hold back optimism that the team’s lead would hold true.

With one event remaining, all the Pirates had to do was finish the 400 free relay and not have a disqualification in order to clinch the championship. Yanchulis, Jacobson, sophomore John Redoutey (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Williams promptly capped an unforgettable finish to the meet with another victory as the Pirates claimed the 2017-18 BIG EAST Championship. In all, a total of seven different Pirates combined to win nine titles and set seven program records. Seton Hall won gold in each of the final four events of the meet to complete the comeback and keep the championship trophy in South Orange. “The team’s effort at the BIG EAST Championship says a lot about the character of our men,” said first-year head coach Derek Sapp. “They never gave up, believed in each other and kept fighting for every second of the meet.” seton hall university 2017-2018 annual report | 9

pirate standouts

Desi Rodriguez Khadeen Carrington I

n every year of college athletics there is an expectation that a studentathlete will improve upon his/ her skills and be better than the previous year. Desi Rodriguez showed that exact trajectory, going from a freshman averaging only 16.6 minutes per game to one of the most dominant players in the BIG EAST as a senior. Rodriguez was a walking highlight for the Pirates, starting the year with four 20-point efforts in the first eight games. This included a particularly huge week for the Bronx native: he dropped 24 points on No. 23 Texas Tech in the Under Armour Reunion at Madison Square Garden; then he poured in 29 points, including the gamewinning two with 7.5 seconds left at No. 17 Louisville. The two victories were immense in lifting Seton Hall’s non-conference resume, and it landed him BIG EAST Player of the Week honors. Rodriguez continued to score, rebound and even pass the ball. He had eight more 20-point games, grabbed at least seven

rebounds in 10 games and had four or more assists eight times. In one of his most complete efforts ever, he delivered 33 points on 12-of-21 shooting, grabbed eight rebounds and had two assists and two steals in a win over DePaul. A sudden injury on the slippery Dunkin’ Donuts Center court in Providence sidelined Rodriguez for the final three regular season games, but his outstanding performance throughout his senior year did not keep him from earning second-team All-BIG EAST honors, his first conference season award of his career. He then triumphantly returned to score 20 points in Seton Hall’s win over NC State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the program’s first tournament victory since 2004. Rodriguez concluded his career 12th all-time at Seton Hall in scoring with 1,657 points, with 1,051 of them coming in the last two years alone. He also ends up 13th in field goals made (609), 14th in three-pointers made (139) and 18th in steals (138).

hadeen Carrington has been doubted his entire career, but he embodies what Seton Hall is all about: he worked hard, he stayed humble and he developed each and every day to finish his career as one of the all-time Pirates greats. Tasked with being the point guard and floor general for the Pirates in 2017-18, Carrington sacrificed some of his scoring to become more of a facilitator, and he flourished with a career-best 150 assists against only 79 turnovers. He had five or more assists in 16 of his 34 games. When Seton Hall needed him to score though, he came through. He torched Butler to the tune of an average of 23.7 points and 5.0 assists over three games and made a career-best seven threepointers in the road win on Jan. 6. He did the same thing to Providence over two games with averages of 24.0 points and 4.5 assists. He also dominated in the NCAA Tournament, scoring 26 points in a win over NC State and

28 points in the narrow defeat to No. 1 seed Kansas. Over the final seven games of his Seton Hall career, Carrington showed why he never should have been doubted: averages of 23.7 points and 3.9 assists while shooting 50.5 percent from the field and 53.6 percent from three all while helping Seton Hall not only reach the NCAA Tournament for a third straight year but also win the program’s first tournament game since 2004. At season’s end, Carrington finished his Seton Hall career with 1,846 points, which is now ninth all-time in Seton Hall history. He also is tied with his teammate Angel Delgado for the most games played ever by any Pirate student-athlete (132), and he is 12th in field goals made (612), seventh in threes made (189) and 13th in assists (388). In addition, his 21.0 points per NCAA Tournament game average is second only to Terry Dehere. Not bad for an overlooked student-athlete.

ngel Delgado left no doubt about what his Seton Hall legacy will be; he concluded his four-year career with the Pirates as one of the most dominant big men in school and BIG EAST history. After flirting with turning pro in May 2017, Delgado returned to help the Pirates win their first NCAA Tournament game since 2004, and along the way, he set records, wowed fans and opposing teams and cemented his place alongside the alltime greats. On January 28 at DePaul, Delgado became the BIG EAST’s all-time leader in rebounds, surpassing Syracuse legend Derrick Coleman, who had 701 rebounds in 64 games. Delgado grabbed rebound No. 702 in just his 62nd game. He went on to finish with 828 rebounds in 72 career conference games, a number that may prove to be insurmountable. On February 22 at Providence, he notched his 69th all-time double-double, which pushed him past NBA legend Larry Bird and current NBA stars David West and Paul Millsap, who all had 68. He went on to finish with 72 career double-doubles, which is tied for 16th all-time in NCAA Div. I history. Then Delgado saved his best performance for last. In the NCAA Tournament second round, in front of mostly fans from the opposing Kansas Jayhawks, he dominated the No. 1 seed to the tune of 24 points and a career-high 23 rebounds. It was only the second-ever 20-20 game a student-athlete has had against a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, joining Hakeem Olajuwon, who did it back in 1983. Overall it was only the fifth 20-20 game in the last 40 NCAA Tournaments. College basketball’s experts recognized Delgado’s dominance not only this past season but also his entire career when he was named the 2018 recipient of the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award as the National Center of the Year. When the dust had settled, Delgado finished his Seton Hall career with 1,593 points, 1,455 rebounds and 227 assists. He was a two-time AllBIG EAST selection, three-time All-Metropolitan selection, the 2015 BIG EAST Rookie of the Year, the 2017 Haggerty Award Metropolitan Player of the Year and a two-time Associated Press AllAmerica honorable mention. Delgado, who is one of only 11 Pirates ever to play in three consecutive NCAA Tournaments for The Hall, will now take his talents to the NBA after signing a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Clippers. seton hall university 2017-2018 annual report | 13

Ricky DeVito Christiana Rutkowski A

s a freshman in 2017, Ricky DeVito set a Seton Hall record with a 0.00 earned run average in 15.0 innings pitched out of the bullpen. With such lofty expectations, how did he follow that performance? In 2018, he was crowned the best pitcher in the BIG EAST Conference.

Cundari (1985) and Kevin Morton (1989 & 1990).

Last year, DeVito made the transition from the bullpen to the Pirates’ weekend starting rotation and was virtually unhittable in BIG EAST play. In six conference starts, spanning 36.0 innings, DeVito allowed only three earned runs. He led the BIG EAST in ERA (0.75) and wins (four), while ranking second in opposing batting average (.176), third in strikeouts (40) and fourth in innings pitched.

For the entire season, DeVito made 12 starts, and allowed more than one earned run only three times. He finished with a 6-3 record with a 1.88 ERA and 67 strikeouts in 62.1 innings. After his shutout of Butler on April 21, DeVito recorded a career-high nine strikeouts over six shutout innings against Villanova on April 28.

For his efforts, the hard-throwing right-hander was named BIG EAST Pitcher of the Year and to the NCAA Division I All-America Second Team by the Collegiate Baseball newspaper. DeVito is the first Seton Hall player to receive both prestigious recognitions since Josh Prevost in 2014. He’s only the fifth Pirate to be named BIG EAST Pitcher of the Year, joining Prevost, Ted Klamm (1992), Phil

The Hall’s regular Saturday starter, DeVito was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll five times last year, and was BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week on April 24 after shutting out Butler over eight innings with eight strikeouts.

A big-game pitcher, DeVito started Seton Hall’s second game of the 2018 BIG EAST Tournament, an elimination game victory over Georgetown, before coming back only two days later to start the Championship Game against St. John’s. DeVito’s 1.51 career earned run average currently ranks secondbest all-time at Seton Hall.

ruly an exemplary student-athlete, Christiana Rutkowski could seemingly do no wrong during her tenure at The Hall. The two-time team captain was one of the most delightful personalities on campus, and was also ahead of the pack both in the classroom and on the cross country course. Rutkowski was the first Pirate to cross the finish line in every single one of the team’s nine meets in 2017. She also won four different races individually, came in second in another, and placed fifth at the prestigious Metropolitan Championship at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx. In the opening meet of the year, the Middletown, N.J. native set the tone for her final campaign in South Orange. At the Monmouth Kick-Off she completed the 4K course in a career-best 14:27.7, nearly 10 full seconds ahead of the 76 runner field and helped the Pirates place second among seven competing teams. Next, Rutkowski posted a seasonbest time of 17:44.8 to win the 5K Wolfie Invitational at Stony Brook and led Seton Hall to its first team victory of the year. At NYIT, she delivered her third individual win when she beat out 66 competitors with a 5K time of 18:15.50. At the

5K Cappy Anderson Invitational hosted by Maryland Eastern Shore, Rutkowski shined once again and her 5K performance of 18:30.9 was good for second and led to a team victory as the Pirates out-scored seven other teams. Seton Hall doubled up with Rutkowski’s individual title and the team title at the 6K Blue & Gold Invitational at Delaware as the first three runners to cross the finish line were all Pirates. Rutkowski completed the course with a time of 22:47.50 to take home her fourth win of the year. At the Metro Championship, Rutkowski finished fifth out of a field of 129 runners with a 5K time of 18:48.4. The Pirates furthermore placed fifth out of 14 teams, the best finish at the meet in more than five years. A psychology major, Rutkowski graduated in May with a 3.725 GPA and was a four-time BIG EAST All-Academic selection and a member of Chi Alpha Sigma, the national student-athlete honor society. She was also very generous with her personal time, and spent over 100 hours volunteering with the National Eating Disorders Association, and was heavily involved with numerous H.A.L.L. initiatives throughout her four years at Seton Hall.

SHADEEN SAMUELS SYDNEY SIMPSON T

he term “sophomore slump” is commonplace in collegiate athletics. A freshman will burst onto the scene, only to struggle in year number two as the opposition learns their game and counters it. The complete opposite was true for women’s basketball forward Shadeen Samuels, who turned a quiet freshman campaign around in a big way during her breakout sophomore season. Samuels nearly doubled her output across the board in 2017-18 and went from an endof-the-bench rotation player to one of the best interior players in the BIG EAST in the span of one season. As a freshman in 2016-17 Samuels scored a touch over four points a night, playing 15.7 minutes per game over 26 outings. She scored in double-figures just once, an 18-point spurt that was the only time all season she eclipsed six points in a contest. That would change in a hurry. Samuels had a tremendous offseason, consistently performing throughout the summer and earning a starting spot during preseason workouts and practices. She would go on to start all 32 games in her sophomore season and averaged 7.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game. Samuels ranked top-10 in the BIG EAST in rebounding, field goal percentage (46.7 percent) and blocked shots (27). A true dual threat, she scored in double-figures 11 times while drawing a defensive assignment against an opponent’s top scorer night in and night out. Samuels had a quiet start to her breakout season, averaging 4.8 points per game in limited minutes as The Hall cruised to a 4-1 start. The first glimmer

of what was to come in ’17-18 came against a physical Jacksonville State squad in the SHU Thanksgiving Classic title game. Samuels proved to be the perfect antidote against the size of the Gamecocks, using her elite athleticism in the post to score 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting and grabbing 11 rebounds for her first career double-double. Her performance sparked The Hall to a 7354 triumph and the tournament crown. One of the most impressive aspects of Samuels’ big year was her ability to impact a game in unselfish ways. A mere four days after her breakout game against JSU she took only one shot against Marist, but dished out six assists and grabbed seven rebounds to set the tone in an 85-60 rout. Samuels also proved how much her overall game had improved, evidenced in a tight setback to Creighton (Jan. 2) that saw the sophomore score 19 points and knock down a pair of 3-pointers. She did not make a single trifecta during her freshman year. The finest star turn of Samuels’ season came on Feb. 4 in a home game against Butler. In front of a sellout crowd, Samuels dazzled with 22 points, 11 rebounds, three steals and a blocked shot as The Hall rallied from a sevenpoint second half deficit to sweep a BIG EAST weekend. She would go on to play another key role in a BIG EAST Tournament victory over Xavier by narrowly missing a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds. Her performances over the course of the season helped The Hall reach the 2018 WNIT and increase its win total by four over her freshman year. With an evolving game and commitment to continue to improve, Samuels will look for even bigger and better things in the 2018-19 season and beyond.

ne of the most decorated and accomplished swimmers in program history, Sydney Simpson wrapped up her outstanding career with an incredible display at the 2018 BIG EAST Championship in Geneva, Ohio. She won one gold, two silvers, broke three individual schoolrecords and one relay record as Seton Hall had its best point total at the conference championship meet in program history and finished in third place. Simpson owns the school record in the 100 breast (1:02.00), 200 breast (2:15.84), 100 fly (54.23), 200 medley relay (1:43.00) and 400 medley relay (3:44.97). She is a three-time individual BIG EAST champion and four-time All-BIG EAST selection. A breaststroke specialist, Simpson incredibly finished in the top-five in the event at the conference meet on seven occasions throughout her career. As a junior, Simpson won five events during dual meet season, and achieved an NCAA “B”

standard in the 100 fly after reaching the podium on three occasions at the BIG EAST Championship. During her final season in South Orange, she was named BIG EAST Swimmer of the Week after she won the 100 breast, 100 fly, and was part of the winning 200 medley relay in dominating victories over Providence and Georgetown on Feb. 5. She furthermore went on to achieve NCAA “B” cuts in the 100 and 200 breast and 100 fly following her performance at the BIG EAST Championship. The Tallahassee, Fla. native spent much of her time outside the pool committed to her studies and the community. She participated in The H.A.L.L. Program’s Grow-ARow, Relay For Life and Pen-Pal program, and maintained an extraordinary 3.34 GPA while earning a degree in biochemistry. Simpson was inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma, the National StudentAthlete Honor Society, and was a four-time BIG EAST All-Academic selection.

abby thelen I

n 2017, the Seton Hall volleyball team proved that the more junior Abby Thelen was on the floor, the better for the Pirates. A solid player through her first two years in South Orange, Thelen took her game to a new level as a junior, often never leaving the floor, playing all six rotations. After asserting herself as a dominant defensive force as a middle blocker her freshman year, Thelen was moved to outside hitter as a sophomore to better showcase her offensive prowess. That moved proved most fruitful in 2017 as she became one of the most potent offensive players in the BIG EAST, ranking fourth in the conference in kills and kills per set. Thelen became the first non-senior offensive player at Seton Hall to earn First Team All-Conference honors since Shelbey Manthorpe in 2012. The primary offensive option for the Pirates, Thelen led the team in kills and kills per set for a second straight year. Her 430 kills for the year is the seventh-highest single-season total in Seton Hall history, and her 1,196 attacks in 2017, ranked fourth-most ever. Additionally,

Thelen was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll a team-high four times, and she was named to the All-Tournament Team at three early season tournaments, the Oklahoma Nike Invitational, Seton Hall Classic and Redbird Classic. Often playing six rotations also meant a spike in Thelen’s dig statistics since she was playing in the back row. Her 163 digs were a career-high, and she recorded the first six double-doubles of her career. Thelen tallied at least 15 kills in a match 14 times, by far the most of any Pirate, and there were only four matches all season that she didn’t reach double-figures, and she had nine kills in three of those matches. On Sept. 1 against Butler, Thelen erupted to record career-highs of 24 kills and 21 digs against Buffalo. It’s the first 20-kill, 20-dig match for a Pirate in over 13 years. Thelen enters her senior year needing just 58 kills to become the 11th player in Seton Hall history to record 1,000 for her career. She also ranks just outside Seton Hall’s career top-10 in kills per set and total attacks.

alexis walkden A

lexis Walkden used her senior season to stake her claim as the greatest all-around hitter in Seton Hall softball history. It’s hard to argue otherwise. Rattling off the numbers for Walkden’s four years in South Orange are truly staggering. She is top-three in every major offensive category and set program records for walks and runs scored during her final run in Pirate Blue and White. Walkden hit over .300 in 2018 and clubbed 10 home runs, knocking in 25 and scoring a team-best 30 runs. Despite an injury that cost her seven games and limited her in several others, the third baseman still managed to put together a .301/.414/.574 slash line and rank among the league leaders in home runs, slugging percentage and onbase percentage.

rival St. John’s. In vintage fashion she had a huge series against Villanova near the end of the season, hitting two home runs in three games against the BIG EAST rival against whom she homered the most of any career opponent. Walkden’s career numbers in 202 games finished with a .351 average, 43 doubles, 206 total hits, 147 runs scored, 51 home runs, 153 RBIs and 114 walks drawn. She missed out on the all-time home run record by eight long balls and was 13 hits shy of The Hall’s record – but her combination of average, power and speed (32 career stolen bases) make her the most complete hitter to ever don Pirate blue.

She ended her career with 51 home runs overall and 20 in BIG EAST play, becoming only the second Pirate to hit the half century mark. Her 20 home runs in league play also rank ninth all-time in conference history.

Perhaps even bigger than her onfield accomplishments, Walkden was named the BIG EAST Female Scholar Athlete of the Year in her senior season. She became the first softball Pirate to ever win the award and only the second female student-athlete at The Hall to take home the honor. She graduated with a 3.85 GPA and a degree in Mathematics and Secondary Education.

Marquee performances for the Cibolo, Texas native included a three-RBI day in a win over ACC foe Virginia, a two-home run performance at home against Fairfield and a four-hit outing at

In June, Walkden became one of only 29 women across all spring sports in all NCAA Divisions to be awarded a $7,500 scholarship by the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Committee.

relay events over the course of his career.

The Pirates needed every point they could get in order to complete their comeback on the final day of competition at the BIG EAST Championship in Geneva, Ohio this past February, and Yanchulis delivered in the clutch. He took second in the 100 free to give the Pirates the lead with just three events remaining, and helped put the nail in the coffin to seal the victory by winning the 400 free relay in the final event of the meet.

Yanchulis was heavily involved with The H.A.L.L Program, and participated in community-based initiatives such as America’s Grow-ARow, BIG EAST Serves, Relay For Life, Pen-Pal, Write-On-Sports, and was the Seton Hall representative at the inaugural BIG EAST Social and Digital Summit.

A two-time BIG EAST Most Outstanding Swimmer, Yanchulis owns the school record in the 200 free, 100 IM, and the 200, 400 and 800 free relay. He is in the top-3 in the program record book in eight events including the 200 IM, 100 and 500 free. Furthermore, Yanchulis finished in the top-3 while competing for The Hall on 96 occasions across 13 different events (not including relays).

A double major in business administration and information technology management & marketing, Yanchulis earned his degree in May with a 3.43 GPA. A team-captain in 2017-18, Yanchulis has strong leadership ability and extensive knowledge in the sport. He spent his summers in South Orange working as a swimming instructor at the YMCA, and will continue to build his coaching resume this fall at Oklahoma Christian where he will attend graduate school and serve as an assistant coach with the swimming program.

hen Lloyd Jefferson Go, arguably the greatest golfer in Seton Hall history, graduated last year, there was some question as to who, if possible, would fill the void. Enter Chris Yeom, who took a mammoth step forward and evolved into one of the top golfers in the BIG EAST Conference, putting up “go-like” scores all year long. Named to the All-BIG EAST First Team in 2018, Yeom shaved more than two full strokes off his scoring average from a year ago, and finished the year leading the BIG EAST Conference with a 71.66 average, which edged Go’s program record for a junior by just .01. Yeom was named BIG EAST Men’s Golfer of the Week three times during the course of the 2017-18 academic year and also earned PING All-Northeast Region honors by the Golf Coaches Association of America. Yeom finished a tournament under par five times in 2017-18

after doing it just one in his first two year as a collegian. Yeom had eight top-10 finishes and four top-5 finishes this year, and 10 of his 17 rounds this spring were under par. In his final event of the year, he was named to the All-Tournament Team and tied for second at the 2018 BIG EAST Championship, shooting even-par at Callawassie Island. Yeom’s crowning moment of the year was a historic 13-underpar, 66-69-68-203 at the Loyola Invitational. His 203 broke Go’s par-72, three-round record score of 205 set just last spring at the same event. Furthermore, Yeom’s 13-under-par score tied the Pirate mark for the most strokes under for any par in a tournament. Named Seton Hall’s Junior Male Co-Athlete of the Year, Yeom’s historic performance sets him up for what could be a memorable senior campaign in South Orange. The Flushing, N.Y. native currently ranks third all-time with a career 73.86 scoring average. He also is tied for third in both career sub-par tournaments and sub-par rounds.

HALL Program A staple of the Seton Hall studentathlete experience, the Helping Athletes Learn to be Leaders (H.A.L.L.) Program continued to impact Seton Hall student-athletes, and in turn the local community in 2017-18. With an emphasis on leadership development, career development, community enrichment, academics and athletics success initiatives, and spiritual development, student-athletes are able to participate in all five components throughout their time at Seton Hall. This year, the H.A.L.L. Program introduced a Women’s Leadership Networking night to the almost 125 female student-athletes. This program focused on providing a networking opportunity by exposing them to the knowledge and information of over 30 female leaders in the community. These executives are involved in industries including, but not limited to, law, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and education. This one-night event allowed the student-athletes to learn what it takes for them to be successful in their desired fields following the conclusion of their playing careers. Additionally, the Student-Athlete Leadership Academy continued its evolution in developing student-athlete leaders in athletics, the classroom, and in the community. Thirty student-athletes participated in the academy after an extensive application process. The curriculum included text-based discussions, leadership personality assessments, an

administrative leaders panel where the student-athletes were able to learn first-hand a best-practices approach on leadership, and leadership training courtesy of the United States Marine Corps. For the fifth consecutive academic year, student-athletes set records for participation and volunteering in the community. In total, they amassed 3,213 volunteer hours, which averaged out to 12.96 hours per studentathletes. This continues to reinforce the university-led Servant Leadership core principle.

In addition to record growth in community outreach participation from student-athletes, they also went through significant training throughout the year that focused on career development and overall student-athlete welfare. These events included, the following educational seminars and training events: The first ever Women’s Leadership Series Networking Night * The Student-Athlete Leadership Academy * The Student-Athlete Leadership Forum * Student-Athlete Mentoring Program * Resume Workshops * Interview Seminars * LinkedIn and Networking Workshops * Sexual Assault Prevention & Bystander Intervention Training * Implementation of the One Love Relationship Violence Prevention Curriculum

* Stress Relief and Management Seminars with The Wellness Center * Mental Health Education Seminars * Mental Health Awareness Session with Chamique Holdsclaw * Team Building Sessions with Dr. Derek Greenfield * Drugs & Alcohol Educational Sessions with Elaine Pasqua Some of the major organizations and initiatives that the student-athletes collaborated with the past year include: * Seton Hall’s Hunger & Homelessness Week * Read Across America * Seton Hall Campus Ministry & Varsity Catholic * America’s Grow-A-Row * Reading with the Pirates * Essex County Public Schools * Orange District Public Schools * The town of South Orange, NJ * The Pierre Toussaint Food Pantry in Newark, NJ * Our Lady of Sorrows in South Orange, NJ * Pen Pal Program with St. Francis Xavier in Newark, NJ * It’s On Us National campaign to stop sexual violence * The One Love Foundation * South Mountain YMCA * St. Barnabas Hospital in Livingston, NJ * St. Joseph’s Hospital in Paterson, NJ * Fuel Up to Play 60 – American Dairy Association * Fundraising for various hurricane relief efforts in the Fall

THE STUDENT-ATHLETE EXPERIENCE

PATRICK M. AND MARY ANN PFAFF MURRAY LEADERSHIP FORUM

signature event of the Helping Athletes Learn to be Leaders (H.A.L.L.) Program, the Seton Hall University Department of Athletics hosted its sixth annual Patrick M. and Mary Ann Pfaff Murray Leadership Forum for Student-Athletes, welcoming a group of three distinguished professionals to Walsh Gymnasium for a career-oriented discussion and networking opportunity. Panelists included Val Ackerman, commissioner of the BIG EAST Conference, Len DeLuca, college athletics consultant and former vice president at both CBS Sports and ESPN, and Nancy Holecek, senior vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer at RWJ Barnabas Health. Glenn Horine, former President of Arena Football League Properties and current President of H & H Consulting and Executive Director of the Iona College Center for Sports, Entertainment and Media Business, moderated the evening. 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 studentathletes, the event offered the opportunity for student-athletes to participate in an open dialogue with the panelists. In addition to the event’s question and answer session, there was also a reception held in the Walsh Lobby where student-athletes were afforded the opportunity to have one-on-one conversation with each of the speakers. The Leadership Forum was re-named in September 2015 in honor of Pat ‘64, MBA ‘72 and Mary Ann Pfaff Murray, who generously made a gift to the Pirate Blue Athletic Fund in support of the event. One of the many professional development initiatives H.A.L.L.

WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP NETWORKING NIGHT

he Seton Hall Athletics department and the H.A.L.L. Program held a first-of-its-kind Women’s Leadership Networking Night on Wednesday, May 2 in Bethany Hall. Over 30 top industry professionals were present for the event to meet with over 120 of The Hall's female student-athletes and discuss their journey, career challenges, networking and leadership skills, and professional development. “Networking is an essential and critical part of business. We wanted to provide our female student-athletes with an opportunity to meet and socialize with female professionals in various industries that interest them now, while also exposing them to other professional and career possibilities,” said Senior Associate Director of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrator Rachelle Paul. “Our goal was to utilize our female studentathlete alumni base and to develop a foundation of strong, influential professional women who can assist our current studentathletes,” Paul added. Among the professionals in attendance were several former Seton Hall student-athletes who were able to share first-hand their experiences going from student-athlete to the professional world.

“I loved this event. There was a great mix of professionals who could provide diverse viewpoints and feedback on some of the same topics. I even left learning something,” said Kristen May, a Production Planner at Heat Makes Sense, Inc. and former CrossCountry Student-Athlete at Seton Hall. “This type of event was long overdue. The student-athlete network is strong, so to have us come back and support our current female athletes is exactly what we want to do. We want to give back in ways like this. I am glad Athletics put this event together,” added Erica Cosgrove, Manager of Pressboard Media and former Women’s Golf Student-Athlete at Seton Hall. During the event, student-athletes were placed into groups based on their major or desired career field. Two or three professionals at each group led the conversation and answered any questions the student-athletes had. “This night provided me with the opportunity to learn how important it is to maintain a positive attitude while at work. As a woman, no matter what your job may entail, it’s important to be confident in yourself, your abilities, and your decisions when it comes to handling a difficult situation with a patient or a co-worker,” said Courtney Regan, Swimming & Diving Senior and Biology Major.

“I talked to Nicki Gross, who said pay attention to detail, it will help you stand out! I took this as great advice coming from someone who works in a male dominated sports industry, which is my dream to do,” said softball sophomore Reganne Camp, a Management major. Mary Ellen Clyne, President and CEO of Clara Maass Medical Center made sure to teach the athletes how to give a proper handshake while Marjorie Perry, President & CEO, MZM Construction & Management Company, Inc. explained to the future business leaders, “if you remember anything from today, never stop asking questions. That’s networking.” “It’s a wonderful time to be a young woman. The turnout tonight shows how powerful a female network is in any field, being Business, Sports, Healthcare, Law, and so on. Pirates like taking care of Pirates,” said Kelly Childs, Athletics Director, Oak Knoll School of Holy Child. “We had the opportunity to work on our networking skills with some of the most successful women who graduated from Seton Hall. I left this event feeling excited, empowered, and more prepared for the future. I really look forward to this event in coming years,” said Lizzie Win, a Women’s Golf Sophomore majoring in Marketing and Information Technology.

the pirate blue story

he 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 studentathletes have been able to achieve would not be possible without the loyal Pirate Blue members who have generously supported the programs. 2017-18 was another banner year for Pirate Blue, which raised $3 million for a second 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 2017-18. The fiscal year saw the opening of a renovated batting cage to benefit the baseball and softball teams, the installation of a new videoboard in Arthur E. Imperatore Natatorium to benefit the men’s & women’s swimming & diving teams and the opening of the Pirates Refueling Station, which helps all studentathletes get the replenishment they need

after a workout or practice. In addition, funds have been secured to move forward with renovating Owen T. Carroll Field into a modern facility that will benefit the baseball and men’s & women’s soccer teams and their fans. As Pirate Blue turns the page to 2018-19, it hopes to raise money towards a renovation project of historic Walsh Gymnasium that would help modernize the facility and deliver a better experience for both the studentathletes of women’s basketball and volleyball and the fans who attend the games. Pirate

Blue also hopes to continue identifying 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. You can make a gift to Pirate Blue any time by visiting PirateBlue.com.

n a fun-filled evening in front of family and friends at Maplewood Country Club on June 6, five distinguished individuals took their place in Seton Hall history with their inductions into the Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Fame. Joining the list of all-time Pirates greats are Keisha Caine ‘95 of the women’s track & field team, Tommy Houston ‘97 of the men’s soccer team, Kyle Morris ‘08 of the men’s golf team, Stacey Nagle ‘99 of the women’s soccer team and Phyllis Sheppard, the matriarch of the baseball program. The Hall of Fame, which was established in 1973, now stands at 237 individuals and two teams. Keisha Caine ‘95 is one of the greatest athletes in Seton Hall history regardless of sport. She was a nine-time All-American with the Pirates, a member of two 4x400 relay teams that won NCAA national championships and part of the 4x400 relay team that won the 1994 Championship of America at the Penn Relays. A part of two BIG EAST Championship winning teams, she was the 1995 BIG EAST Championship Most Outstanding Performer and finished her career winning nine total conference championships. Tommy Houston ‘97 was an All-American midfielder at Seton Hall and three-time All-BIG EAST performer, finishing his career with 20 goals and 24 assists. At the time of his graduation, his 20 assists ranked fifth most in program history. His sophomore

season ranks as one of the best in school history with 12 goals and nine assists, including a streak of seven straight matches with a goal scored. Kyle Morris ‘08 ranks in the top five of the men’s golf team’s record book in almost every individual category, including most tournament victories, most sub-par tournaments, most sub-par rounds, stroke average and most top-five and top-ten finishes. His 63 on a par-71 on March 9, 2007 still ranks as the lowest single-round score in program history. Stacey Nagle ‘99 is one of the best goalkeepers in the history of the women’s soccer team and the program’s first-ever All-BIG EAST selection in 1995. She was a part of the best season in program history in 1997, when the Pirates won 14 matches, including nine in the BIG EAST. She recorded 7-1/2 shutouts during that magical season and is the program’s career leader in clean sheets (25-1/2) and saves (536). For over 50 years, Phyllis Sheppard has served as the matriarch of Seton Hall baseball and has been a positive influence on hundreds of student-athletes that have come through the University while also dedicating a wealth of time towards philanthropic efforts that have benefited the athletics department. She is the wonderful wife to Mike Sheppard, Sr., who was the head coach of the Pirates from 1973-2003, and mother to current head coach Rob Sheppard.

ith a tradition of nationallyranked teams in both men’s and women’s sports, AllAmerica and All-Academic recognition for our studentathletes, and a growing number of alumni garnering headlines in the professional ranks, it is an exciting time to be associated with Pirate Athletics. Seton Hall University Athletics is in the midst of its first major comprehensive campaign to raise funds for essential student-athlete facility projects and renovations, and we are reaching out to our loyal alumni and friends for your support of our Pride & Excellence campaign. Pirate Pride defines what it means to be a Pirate. It was, and continues to be, that same pirate pride that guides us in our everyday activity now. We have also made it our mission to achieve excellence in everything we do as it is our leading principle in our everyday department activity. 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. Many projects have already been completed, with the construction of new locker room facilities for all of Seton 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. Most recently, 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.

DONORS of the PRIDE & EXCELLENCE CAMPAIGN

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. 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 throughout the campaign.

NEW REFUELING STATION, BATTING CAGES AND NATATORIUM VIDEOBOARD

eton Hall Athletics is committed to maximizing the potential of its student-athletes, and the department has made nutrition a priority with the opening of the Pirates Refueling Station, a space within the Richie Regan Recreation & Athletic Center designed to replenish student-athletes after practices and workouts. Serviced by Gourmet Dining Services at Seton Hall University, the Pirates Refueling Station features snacks and beverages intended to help student-athletes recover following workouts and practices. The space also serves as a spot for teams to hold a pregame meal. The Pirates Refueling Station is the latest facility upgrade at Seton Hall Athletics, which is determined to providing the best possible student-athlete experience. Over the last five years, the department has upgraded spaces dedicated to academics, weight training, skill development, preparation, game competition and recovery. For more information on all the student-athlete facilities at Seton Hall, visit SHUPirates.com/facilities. The Seton Hall Athletics Batting Cages were renovated during the summer of 2017 to provide the baseball and softball teams a fresh indoor space to conduct hitting drills. The impressive space received a complete refresh with new flooring, turf, netting, padding and pitching machine. The batting cage is located in the Richie Regan Recreation & Athletic Center, mere steps away from the baseball and softball offices. Another major facility enhancement was the addition of a new, state-of-the-art LED videoboard at the Arthur E. Imperatore Natatorium, home of Seton Hall’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams. The 10mm video display was added to the existing Colorado Time Systems timing and scoring solution at the Natatorium and measures approximately 2.7m x 5.1m. The video display is used to show scoring information, live video, video replays, and animations.
