As an athlete, I learned the importance of teamwork, preparation, time management and commitment. I am proud to be a part of the Pirate tradition and a network that has been and continues to be incredibly rewarding.”

AMBER HARRIS ‘08 Amber Harris currently works for Team Walker Inc., a nonprofit organization that was created by former Seton Hall men’s basketball player Jerry Walker and targets the youth population in Jersey City, N.J.

Two of the three programs are designed specifically for youth. The After-School program provides them with homework help, test preparation, life skills, recreational activities, and a snack program. Summer fun is a summer camp providing breakfast and lunch, recreational activities, field trips, and some educational work to keep their skills sharpened throughout the summer. Weatherization is an energy efficiency program to help low income families maintain their energy bills. “I love the opportunity that I have had at Team Walker because it’s feeding directly into what I studied at Seton Hall. After redshirting my freshman year I had the opportunity to pursue my MBA in my fifth year of eligibility. I studied Public Administration Nonprofit Management and was thankful that I was able to get the first year of my master’s program paid for while still playing basketball for Seton Hall. With that I was able to seal a position within Team Walker and fulfill my dream of giving back to youth. When I was growing up there was a program just like Team Walker in my neighborhood that I believe helped me develop into the person I am today. ”

Pirate Spirit WHAT’S IN A NAME?
BIG EAST CONFERENCE
On April 29, 1931 Seton Hall was trailing regional power Holy Cross by four runs in the ninth inning before a five run rally gave SHU the win and handed Holy Cross their first loss in four years. The outcome prompted a local sportswriter in attendance to exclaim, “This Seton Hall team is a gang of Pirates!” Upon hearing of the proclamation after the game, the SHU team decided that their newfound name was fitting, and that they would return to South Orange and be known as the Pirates thereafter.
Seton Hall University has been a proud member of the BIG EAST Conference since 1979, when it helped charter the league as one of seven founding mem-bers, along with Boston College, Connecticut, Georgetown, Providence, St. John’s and Syracuse; all prestigious college rich in both athletic and academic tradition. Since Seton Hall joined the BIG EAST as a proud founding member more than thirty years ago, SHU has seen all of its athletic programs grow in national prominence.
In many ways, the origin of the Pirate nickname is representative of the Seton Hall spirit. On that New England afternoon, the original gang of Pirates did not shy away in the face of adversity. Instead, they continued forward, rising to the occasion and emerging victorious.
16
ALMA MATER Originally written by Charles A. Byrne in 1936, the Seton Hall University Alma Mater was officially adopted by the University in 1937 when the dean read it before the student body. The original music was com-posed by Nicola A. Montani and was revised by Walter Cohrssen in 1978. A new choral and brass arrangement was added by John Nowik in 2000. The alma mater is frequently sung at Seton Hall men’s and women’s basketball games and it is tradition for the song to be performed after each game.
FIGHT SONG Although there is no known date for the publishing of the most modern version of the Seton Hall University fight song, the cheer represents a culmination of a number of SHU chants and cheers dating all the way back to the 1920’s. The earliest version of the modern fight song dates back to that era of the 1920 just as athletics were becoming an important tradition in South Orange. One chant closely resembles today’s battle cry.
Walsh Gym As the home court of the women’s basketball team, historic Walsh Gymnasium seats 2,600 fans in an on-campus setting. The recently renovated women’s basketball offices, team locker room and Walsh lobby give the facility a modern feel while honoring the gymnasium’s long-standing tradition. Walsh Gym, like Seton Hall’s library, is named for Rev. Thomas J. Walsh, Fifth Bishop of Newark and former President of the Board of Trustees.

The BIG EAST Conference ®
The 2012-13 academic year is the 34th in the history of The BIG EAST Conference as the unique consortium marches on competing at the highest level with integrity and sportsmanship. The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth and continues to make strides in improving the quality and depth of the storied league. The BIG EAST Conference has been always been driven by lofty goals. The outstanding performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are evidence of the league’s proud tradition of success. The league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The 2011-12 year was no different. In the athletic arena, BIG EAST student-athletes again enjoyed success on the national stage. The Georgetown women’s cross country team captured its first NCAA Championship. The win by the Hoyas marked the thirdstraight year a BIG EAST team has won the women’s cross country championship, with Villanova winning the past two. The Louisville men’s basketball team advanced to the Final Four in New Orleans. Connecticut field hockey reached the NCAA semifinals, as did the Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team. The Irish women’s basketball team and Syracuse women’s lacrosse team each reached the NCAA finals. USF softball reached the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla., for the first time in program history. The BIG EAST placed two teams in the NCAA Women’s Final Four for the third time in the last four years as Connecticut joined Notre Dame in Denver, with the Fighting Irish advancing to the national title game for the second-straight year.
BIG EAST student-athletes won five NCAA championships. Sheila Reid won her second-straight NCAA Women’s Cross Country title. Syracuse hurdler Jarret Eaton won the 60-meter hurdle championship in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship. Notre Dame won the distance medley relay at the same championship. Georgetown’s Emily Infeld won the 3,000-meter run. Carlos Almeida of Louisville won the 200-yard breaststroke at the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships. BIG EAST football maintained its national profile as a competitively balanced group. Three BIG EAST teams won bowl games, while the BIG EAST representative in the Bowl Championship Series won its bowl game for the fourth time in the last seven years- a streak that includes wins against the ACC, Big 12 and SEC champions. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing – the University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, the University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida. BIG EAST institutions reside in 18 of the nation’s top 50 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain more than one-fourth of all television households in the U.S. The BIG EAST will welcome UCF, Houston, Memphis, SMU and Temple in all sports in 2013-14. Temple football will join the league in 2012, with Boise State and San Diego State joining the following year and Navy in 2015.
Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 32 national championships in six different sports and 137 student-athletes have won individual national titles through 2011-12. BIG EAST basketball squads have captured 11 titles in the last 13 years. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. The BIG EAST placed three men’s basketball teams in the Final Four in 1985, the only time this has occurred in NCAA history. Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. The conference currently crowns champions in 24 sports. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven‑school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad‑based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student‑athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics.
Any successful organization has had the good fortune to have outstanding leadership. The BIG EAST primarily was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, who was the conference’s first Commissioner. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. John Marinatto was the third commissioner of the BIG EAST, serving from 2009-2012, after seven years as the conference’s senior associate commissioner. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student‑athletes. The conference has enjoyed longstanding relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past nine years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 studentathletes.

Since his arrival, Lyons has been dedicated in his efforts to implement his vision for Seton Hall’s athletics and recreation department by introducing a number of initiatives designed to enhance the college experience for Seton Hall’s 14 NCAA Division I athletics programs and the student body as a whole.
Lyons has instituted a number of new events to help honor both its current and former student-athletes.

The Pirates’ community outreach programs demonstrated outstanding involvement from every varsity program during the 2011-12 academic year, as Seton Hall’s student-athletes participated in an array of activities to benefit the community. Seton Hall also hosted its First Annual Student-Athlete Leadership Forum, providing its student-athletes with a chance to learn from and meet speakers from across the sports landscape.

Olympic gold medalist and Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame member Anne Donovan enters her third season at the helm of the Seton Hall University women’s basketball program. In just seasons she has already begun to leave her mark, developing Jasmine Crew into an AllBIG EAST and All-Met Second Team member in 2012 and helped Ka-Deidre Simmons to the AllBIG EAST Freshman Team in 2011. Donovan was named just the third head coach in program history on March 29, 2010. The announcement came on the same day that Kevin Willard was named head men’s basketball coach at Seton Hall. Donovan was formerly the head coach of the WNBA’s New York Liberty, having taken over on an interim basis halfway through the 2009 regular season. The Liberty reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 2010. “I am very pleased to have the opportunity to come home to New Jersey and coach at Seton Hall,” said Donovan. “The outlook for the women’s basketball program is bright and I look forward to becoming a part of the university community.”
ANNE DONOVAN HEAD COACH 24
Donovan owns a remarkable 132-10 (.930) alltime record on the sidelines for USA Basketball. As head coach, she led the 2008 United States Women’s Olympic Team to gold in Beijing and as a result was chosen with Mike Krzyzewski as co-recipient of the 2008 USA Basketball National Coach of the Year award. Donovan was
an assistant coach who helped the U.S. capture gold at the Olympics 2004 and the World Championships in 1998 and 2002. As a student-athlete at Old Dominion University, the 6-8 Donovan quickly made her presence known both on and off the court as a collegian. She was recognized by virtually every post-season and All-American squad in the nation during her career, earning Kodak All-American honors for three years and Academic All-American honors for two straight seasons. Her honors culminated in 1983 when she claimed the Naismith Trophy as the national Player-of-the-Year and was awarded an NCAA post-graduate scholarship for her academic achievements. Donovan completed her four years at Old Dominion with a 3.5 cumulative average in her major of recreational services and became the all-time leading scorer and rebounder in Monarchs’ history with 2,719 points and 1,976 rebounds. She remains the NCAA’s all-time shot blocker with 801. Donovan won gold medals as a player with the 1984 and 1988 U.S. Olympic Teams, the 1983 and 1987 Pan American Games Teams, the 1986 World Championship Team and was a member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team as well. She played six years of professional basketball in Japan and Italy, before returning to Old Dominion in 1987 as a part-time assistant coach. In 1989, Donovan was elevated to a full-time

assistant coach, and she remained at her alma mater until taking the head position at East Carolina University in 1995. The Pirates made one appearance in the Colonial Athletic Association tournament championship game during her three-year stint at the helm. Donovan began her WNBA coaching career as the interim head of the expansion Indiana Fever in 2000, followed by head coaching positions with the Charlotte Sting (2001-2002) and the Seattle Storm (2003-2007). She amassed a regular-season record of 93-77 (.547) with four playoff appearances in Seattle, including the 2004 WNBA Championship title. Donovan became the first female coach in WNBA history to reach the 100-win mark with the Storm’s victory over Minnesota on August 18, 2005. She also was the head coach of the Philadelphia Rage in the former American Basketball League (ABL) in 1998. 26
On May 15, 1995, Donovan was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. She was one of the twenty-six inductees in the inaugural class of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in June of 1999. Additionally, she is a member of the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame, the New Jersey Sports Hall of Fame, the Old Dominion Sports Hall of Fame, the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame and the CoSIDA Academic All-American Hall of Fame. In 2004, Donovan was named by the Sun Belt Conference as its All-Time Women’s Basketball Player, and in 2008, she received the NCAA 25-year Award in Nashville, Tenn. Donovan was presented with an honorary Doctorate’s degree from Old Dominion University on Dec. 13, 2008. Donovan is a native of Ridgewood, N.J. and a graduate of Paramus Catholic High School.

In so doing we strive to limit risk and exposure to injury mechanisms, provide immediate response to all medical needs of the student-athlete and rehabilitate any and all injuries suffered by the student-athlete. The three main goals of the Seton Hall University sports medicine staff are that all student-athletes are safe and free of injury, all student-athletes achieve their maximum athletic potential, and all Seton Hall University Athletic teams achieve BIG EAST Conference success.

Annie’s Angels Pirate Blue
THE STORY OF ANNIE’S ANGELS Hall of Fame player and coach Anne Donovan’s arrival at Seton Hall in April 2009 brought a renewed sense of optimism for the future of Seton Hall women’s basketball. There was no doubt that the program would eventually be able to hold its own in the BIG EAST, the nation’s toughest conference. Sensing a need to ignite a spark, a group of alumni and friends founded Annie’s Angels in 2010, the support club for the Seton Hall women’s basketball program. Annie’s Angels’ primary mission is to raise awareness for Anne Donovan’s program and encourage Seton Hall supporters to attend home games at Walsh. So far, the results have been tremendous. Working in partnership with the Department of Athletics marketing and promotions staff, home attendance jumped drastically in 2010-2011, there was an 85% increase over the prior season, but there is more work to be done.
The Seton Hall men’s basketball team, whose home court is the Prudential Center in Newark, played two NIT games to packed houses Walsh Gym last season. The noise from the crowd was deafening - the enthusiasm and fan support overwhelming. Seeing the unequivocal home court advantage that Walsh Gym delivered - a raucous, sold out crowd is now the ultimate goal for our women’s program for every game at Walsh. And Annie’s Angels is helping us achieve that goal. It is up to us, our volunteers and supporters to do all that we can to help Coach Donovan build the Seton Hall women’s basketball program into one of the premier college teams in the nation. To find out what you can do to be a part of Annie’s Angels, email Chuck Guariglia, ’64 at : guarigliac@yahoo.com.
