•big east/fox sports partnership

Seton Hall University was part of a landmark conference realignment during the 2012-13 academic year. Joined by six longtime league members (DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, St. John’s and Villanova) and three new associates (Butler, Creighton and Xavier), Seton Hall helped form the NCAA’s 32nd Division I conference officially on July 1, the reincarnated BIG EAST Conference. The shift in conference affiliation was a result of the defection of six original BIG EAST schools, within a 15-month span, that departed to join higher caliber football conferences. To protect the athletic interests of the student-athletes and to align the University with like-minded institutions, Seton Hall was part of the eightmonth movement to complete the transition to a new, but familiar conference home. The ‘Catholic Seven’, as media reports tabbed the pioneering institutions, sought to retain the renowned BIG EAST Conference name. Four of these Universities, including Seton Hall, were founding members of the original conference making it only fitting to still be affiliated with a conference name representative of the rich athletic history and tradition these schools helped create. Then focus turned to securing Madison Square Garden to remain the home for the BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Tournament. The “World’s Most Famous Arena” was a key to the original conference’s explosion, after BIG EAST founder and former commissioner, the late Dave Gavitt, took the tournament to midtown Manhattan in 1983. It is the site where the Pirates have celebrated memorable moments, including two BIG EAST Championships. Extending the existing lease agreement with Madison Square Garden through 2026 to keep the marquee tournament at center stage in the media capital of the world was a high priority for the future of the revamped conference.

•big east/fox sports partnership

FOX Sports became the lynchpin to making the new BIG EAST Conference a reality. The official announcement of the unprecedented partnership that granted the national network exclusive media rights came on March 20 at the FOX News studio in New York City. It was a historic day as the league also introduced Butler, Creighton and Xavier. The 12-year deal with FOX Sports came in conjunction with the launch of a new national cable network, FOX Sports 1, which acquired rights to all BIG EAST action. FOX Sports 1 made its debut on August 17 with distribution in over 90 million homes at its launch date, putting the conference on a premier platform to showcase its teams and studentathletes. BIG EAST commissioner Val Ackerman was appointed on June 26 to lead the reconstituted 10-team conference. A high-level sports executive with 25 years of experience, Ackerman’s distinguished and accomplished career includes executive posts at the National Basketball Association, the Women’s National Basketball Association and USA Basketball. During Ackerman’s introductory press conference she announced the BIG EAST Conference would be headquartered in New York City. Competition in the new BIG EAST Conference will commence during the 2013-14 academic year. It will serve as the home to all 14 of Seton Hall’s athletic programs.

SETON HALL ATHLETICS 2012-13 Annual Report

•student-athlete academic performance The 2012-13 academic year saw Seton Hall University’s student-athletes excel in the classroom; collectively the Pirates posted a combined cumulative grade point average of 3.251, the highest in school history. Three individual studentathletes truly stood out as academic and community leaders in softball’s Brittany Hammer, women’s basketball’s Alexandra Maseko and baseball’s Ryan Sullivan. Hammer, who served consecutive terms as Seton Hall’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee President, picked up a litany of postseason honors based on her outstanding academic and athletic achievements. She was named a Capital One Second-Team Academic All-American and was one of just 29 female spring winners of the prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. Hammer was named the Seton Hall Athletics Female Student-Athlete of the Year and received the SHU Most Valuable Pirate Award. The BIG EAST Academic All-Star was also the recipient of a BIG EAST Sports Excellence Award. A Third-Team All-BIG EAST selection for her exploits on the field, Hammer served as one of the cornerstones for the Pirates offensively and defensively. She started all 51 games for Seton Hall at shortstop, ranking third on the team with a .335 average while racking up a team-high nine doubles and 37 runs scored to go along with 16 RBI. Hammer’s 37 runs scored were the fifth-most in a single season in program history and she graduates ranked seventh in school history in doubles (29) and batting average (.310) and eighth in base hits (161) and runs scored (93).

Brittany Hammer

Maseko was the 2013 BIG EAST Nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year award after she wrapped up a career-best year on the court. She was one of just seven finalists selected to interview for the Rhodes Scholarship in her native country Zimbabwe, flying home to interview for the award in person just before the start of BIG EAST play. Maseko is a member of Chi Alpha Sigma, the National Collegiate Honor Society, and was one of Seton Hall’s two female nominees for BIG EAST Scholar Athlete of the Year. Averaging a career-high 5.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, Maseko started all 31 games at forward for the Pirates. She recorded a team-best three doubledoubles, including a 16 points, 10 rebound performance in a victory over Pittsburgh, which landed her on the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll. Maseko was nominated for the BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Sportsmanship Award in large part because of her commitment to community service; her most notable activity was collecting basketball shoes to distribute to Zimbabwean youth basketball players when she was home to interview for the Rhodes Scholarship.

Alexandra Maseko

Sullivan was named the Seton Hall Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year and was also tabbed as a Seton Hall Academic Merit Award winner. The broadcast and visual media production major was a three-time BIG EAST Academic All-Star and graduated in May with honors. Sullivan started 44 of his 50 games played and finished the season with a .239 batting average, four triples and 12 stolen bases, which ranked fourth on the team. His performances as the Pirates’ designated hitter in the 2013 BIG EAST Championship resulted in a spot on the All-Tournament Team. Sullivan hit .357 at the BIG EAST Championship including a 3-for-5 day at the plate with two runs scored in Seton Hall’s 7-2 victory over St. John’s. Ryan Sullivan

TOP MOMENTS

9/18 East Meadow, N.Y.

Sophomore Ali Kruse shot back-to-back rounds of two-over par 74 to capture the St. John’s Intercollegiate Tournament individual title. She became just the second student-athlete in program history to claim a tournament’s individual crown and she led the Pirates to a second-place team finish, just one stroke behind host St. John’s.

1/27 South Orange, N.J. Behind 19 points from senior Brittany Morris and 11 points and five assists for sophomore Ka-Deidre Simmons the women’s basketball team defeated Rutgers University, 45-42, snapping a 12-game losing streak to the Scarlet Knights that dated back to the 2002 season.

2/26 Newark, N.J. Junior Fuquan Edwin drained a go-ahead three-pointer with just under nine seconds remaining to lift the men’s basketball team to a 66-65 victory over Villanova University, snapping a 10-game skid against the Wildcats. Edwin finished with 18 points and seven rebounds in the winning effort.

4/24-5/14 South Orange, N.J. The baseball team went on an incredible run, winning 13-straight games, the nation’s longest win streak, over a 23-day stretch. The streak included nine straight wins over conference foes and a 5-3 victory over Michigan on May 14, at Citi Field to conclude the impressive run.

5/5 Washington, D.C. The softball team wrapped up its first trip to the BIG EAST Tournament since 2009 in dramatic fashion, beating Georgetown, 2-1, in the regular season finale. Sophomore Sara Haefeli smacked a solo home run in the top of the seventh inning to break a 1-1 deadlock and lift SHU to the win.

Fuquan Edwin thrived in a focal role for the Pirates emerging as one of the premier players in the BIG EAST Conference last season. The rising senior from Paterson, N.J. is making a legitimate case to be considered one of the top-four year players in Seton Hall men’s basketball history.

the eighth-highest mark in the conference. He became the 40th player in Seton Hall history to score 1,000-points and just the 23rd to do so in less than three full seasons. Edwin reached the plateau on Jan. 27 against St. John’s at Madison Square Garden.

One year after becoming the first BIG EAST player to lead the nation in steals (3.0 spg, 2011-12), Edwin again put his defensive tenacity on display finishing second in the conference averaging 2.4 steals. It topped off a stat line that also included six rebounds and two assists per game.

Edwin has quickly climbed the Pirates’ statistical charts excelling on both ends of the court. The 6-6 guard will enter his final season in South Orange on pace to break Seton Hall’s career steals record, a mark that has stood for over 30 years. He is also in striking distance with his 1,213 career points to advance into the top-10 on the program’s illustrious scoring list.

A starter in all 33 contests, he torched the nets for 63 three-pointers, and finished fifth on Seton Hall’s single-season chart with a 41.2% mark from downtown. Edwin buried his biggest three of the season in game-winning fashion. With eight seconds remaining on Feb. 25 at the Prudential Center, he capped off a thrilling come-frombehind victory over BIG EAST foe Villanova, 6665. The win snapped a 10-game skid against the Wildcats.

Edwin collected First Team All-Metropolitan honors and garnered three weekly awards from the conference in 2012-13. He was named BIG EAST Player of the Week on Dec. 10 after averaging 23.0 points and 8.5 rebounds in a pair of victories over Wake Forest and NJIT, becoming only the 19th player in Seton Hall history to be named BIG EAST Player of the Week. At the annual Student Athlete Advisory Committee Awards Banquet, Edwin was recognized as Co-Junior Athlete of the Year.

In the top all-around season of his career, Edwin collected 2012-13 All-BIG EAST honors after leading the Pirates with 16.5 points per game,

morris Seton Hall’s prolific three-point shooting senior Brittany Morris enjoyed a spectacular final season donning the blue & white, leaving her mark on the women’s basketball program’s record books while leading the Pirates to some of their most impressive wins over the last decade. Morris scored over 400 points during the 201213 season, draining an SHU single-season record 74 three-point field goals to finish ranked 20th in program history with 997 career points. She earned Second-Team All-BIG EAST honors and was also named Second-Team All-Met, averaging 13.7 points per game and starting at guard in all 31 of the Pirates’ contests.

2012-13 Annual Report Seton Hall Athletics

Morris saved many of her top performances of the season for when the lights shined the brightest, guiding the Pirates to a number of critical victories in big spots. Seton Hall defeated Rutgers, 45-42, on Jan. 27, marking the first time SHU picked up a victory over its in-state rival in 11 years; Morris led the way with a game-high 19 points.

In the first round of the 2013 BIG EAST Championship it was Morris once again leading her team to a critical 60-55 win over the Cincinnati Bearcats. She scored a game-high 18 points and was 4-for-4 from the free throw line during the final 60 seconds of action, lifting Seton Hall to its first postseason victory since 2009.

Senior night saw St. John’s enter Walsh Gymnasium for a regular season finale showdown and Morris torched the Red Storm for a career-best 28 points behind a 5-for-11 shooting performance from beyond the arc. It was Seton Hall’s first win over St. John’s in 10 attempts.

Morris finished her career ranked first in school history in three-point field goals made with 178 and three-point field goal attempts, firing 571 over a four-year stretch. She led Seton Hall in scoring 20 times during her senior campaign, scoring in double figures 22 times and compiling 20 or more points on six occasions.

Giuseppe

Papaccio In May, Giuseppe Papaccio (Nutley, N.J.) completed one of the most impressive singleseasons in Seton Hall baseball history. Among several honors, he became the first Seton Hall student-athlete recognized as an All-American by Collegiate Baseball since David Kim in 1997. Unanimously named a First Team All-BIG EAST selection and New Jersey Collegiate Baseball Association’s (NJCBA) Player of the Year, Papaccio finished ranked third in the BIG EAST with a .365 batting average and led the conference in doubles. Further showing his prowess for the two-base hit, he set Seton Hall’s career record with 56 doubles and tied the aforementioned Kim’s single-season Pirate record with 24.

Named BIG EAST Player of the Week following his seven-hit, 11-RBI performance in three wins at Cincinnati, Papaccio helped guide the Pirates to one of their most successful seasons in program history. Batting primarily in the cleanup position in the Seton Hall lineup, he helped pace the Pirates to the second-best team batting average in the BIG EAST. Papaccio led Seton Hall in seven offensive categories, including batting average, slugging percentage and RBIs.

Papaccio graduates as one of the finest position players to ever wear a Seton Hall uniform. With 237 career hits, only three players in Pirates’ history have garnered more. Only two Pirates have played in more games and only former teammate A.J. Rusbarsky has had more at bats. On June 8, Papaccio was selected in the 18th round of the 2013 Major League Baseball FirstYear Player Draft by the Chicago Cubs.

One of the finest defensive shortstops in the conference, Papaccio started all 56 games in the field and led Seton Hall’s defense to the top fielding percentage in the BIG EAST and by far the fewest errors.

Alyssa

Warren In its first year under head coach Allison Yaeger, the Seton Hall volleyball program posted its highest win total in a decade, registering 18 victories behind a stout defense that finished the season atop the BIG EAST in opponent hitting percentage. The unquestioned anchor of SHU’s stingy defensive unit was junior Alyssa Warren (Joliet, Ill.) who stood out for the Pirates for many more reasons besides her distinctive libero jersey. Warren was a relentless force for The Hall throughout 2012, playing in all 28 matches and leading the team in digs in all but one of those appearances. She went on to lead the BIG EAST and set a new school record with 659 total digs on the year, a record-breaking run of excellence that included two single-match performances of 40 digs or more.

With her play, Warren firmly entrenched herself in the conversation among the upper echelon of defensive players in the nation. Her 5.88 digs per set average was the seventh-highest among all Division I females, and the most by a studentathlete competing in a BCS conference. Her defensive wizardry did not go unnoticed within the league as at year’s end she was dubbed the BIG EAST Libero of the Year, becoming the first Pirate ever to earn the honor, and also landed a spot on the All-BIG EAST Second Team.

Assistant Coach Allie Matters (1,945) on the school’s all-time list.

Truly a model student-athlete, Warren’s impact extends far beyond the court. A perennial BIG EAST Academic All-Star, the Illinois product served as Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) Vice President in 2012-13, was inducted into the National College Athlete Honor Society – Chi Alpha Sigma – in the spring and also was one of four SHU student-athletes who participated in a Varsity Catholic mission trip to Puerto Rico, Already one of the most prolific defenders ever to helping run a free sports camp for area youth. suit up for Seton Hall, Warren was named Seton Hall Junior Female Athlete of the Year. She will enter her senior year with 1,742 career digs to her credit, trailing only former SHU great and current

•FIVE SIGN MLB CONTRACTS After a historic Seton Hall baseball season, which saw the Pirates win their most games since 2000, five student-athletes signed professional contracts with Major League Baseball franchises.

Four players Brian Gilbert (Toms River, N.J.), Jon Prosinski (Skillman, N.J.), Zack Granite (Staten Island, N.J.) and Giuseppe Papaccio (Nutley, N.J.) were selected in the Major League Baseball (MLB) First-Year Player Draft on June 7 and 8. A fifth, Greg Terhune (Washington, N.J.) signed as a free agent a week later. The five signings are the most since six signed following the 1997 season. Closer Brian Gilbert was the first Pirate selected in the Draft, a seventh round choice of the Minnesota Twins on June 7. The dominant right-hander excelled at Seton Hall for three seasons in multiple roles, before establishing himself as one of the top closers in the BIG EAST Conference. Named to the All-BIG EAST Third Team, he led the conference with 25 games finished and tied for sixth in the BIG EAST with six saves. Named NJCBA Fireman of the Year, Gilbert pitched to a career-low 2.40 ERA. Jon Prosinski was also selected on June 7, a 10th round pick by the Philadelphia Phillies. One of the greatest pitchers in Seton Hall history, Prosinski made a school record 57 career starts with the Pirates over four seasons. A two-time BIG EAST First Team selection, no pitcher in Seton Hall history has thrown more innings or struck out more batters, and only one pitcher has won more games. Appointed to the All-BIG EAST First Team for a second straight year, he was named NJCBA Pitcher of the Year and Seton Hall’s Senior Male Athlete of the Year. ”Pretty much Seton Hall turned out to be the perfect place for me,” Prosinski said. “I could not have been happier. I am grateful for the coaches and teammates I had there. I had a great four years to help me get to this point. To finish there and go play professional baseball is a dream come true.” On June 8, Zack Granite became the second Pirate to be selected by the Minnesota Twins, joining teammate Brian Gilbert, with a 14th round selection. In just three seasons, Granite became one of the top leadoff men in Seton Hall baseball history. As a junior, he was named First Team All-BIG EAST and All-NJCBA, while setting career-highs of 35 stolen bases and 59 runs scored, both second-most in the conference. Giuseppe Papaccio was the final former Pirate to be selected in the MLB Draft. He was chosen in the 18th round by the Chicago Cubs. Named a Third Team All-American by the American Baseball Coaches Association and Collegiate Baseball, Papaccio is coming off one of the finest offensive seasons in Seton Hall history. Unanimously named a First Team All-BIG EAST selection and New Jersey Collegiate Baseball Association’s (NJCBA) Player of the Year, he finished ranked third in the BIG EAST with a .365 batting average and led the conference in doubles. “This has been such an amazing experience,” Papaccio said. “For me, it was made sweeter because I was drafted on my 22nd birthday.” A week after the MLB Draft, Greg Terhune signed a free agent contract with the Los Angeles Angels. After spending much of his time as a reliever in the prior three seasons, Terhune became one of the most dominant weekend starters in the BIG EAST in 2013. A First Team All-NJCBA selection, he led Seton Hall’s regular starters with a 2.33 ERA, tied for fifth-best in the BIG EAST, and a .218 opponent batting average, tied for fourth-best. “Playing baseball for my profession… it’s a dream come true,” Terhune said. “It’s weird to say that I’m playing professional baseball and it’s my job. I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else and I’m just having a great time.”

•pirates in the community In 2012-13, Seton Hall Athletics reaffirmed its commitment to being an active force in the community. During the year, members of Seton Hall’s varsity athletic programs continued to aggressively seek outlets through which to make a positive impact, totaling more than 2,000 hours of service while raising in excess of $25,000 to help benefit a diverse set of charitable causes. SHU student-athletes united to support a multitude of departmentwide endeavors. Among these collective efforts were a number of exciting new initiatives, highlighted by the “Reading with the Pirates” Program and a budding relationship with America’s Grow A Row Program. First implemented by the women’s basketball program in 201112, Seton Hall Athletics introduced the revamped “Reading with the Pirates” Program early in the fall, expanding the participant pool to members of all 14 varsity programs. Representatives from various teams traveled together throughout the year to area schools, interacting with students while also imparting the importance and value of reading. In the first of what will be many joint ventures between the Pirates and the Grow A Row Program, more than 50 student-athletes helped prepare vegetables from a local farm for distribution to area food banks. In their four hours on the farm, the studentathletes in attendance helped the organization set a new record for produce harvested in a single day. SHU also continued the fight against hunger through its fifth-annual “Peanut Butter and Jelly Challenge” as members of each team combined to make nearly 1,800 sandwiches for those in need.

Other highlights of the many cooperative projects included the second-annual Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Gatorade Pong Tournament. In support of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), over 60 student-athletes made donations and competed in the event. Four student-athletes, baseball’s Scott Kalamar and Jamie Froning, Olivia Trudeau, and Alyssa Warren of volleyball, took a mission trip to Puerto Rico, where they worked with Varsity Catholic to coordinate a sports camp for kids. A number of SHU programs were also unified in the fight against cancer. Both the men’s and women’s soccer programs “laced up” for pediatric cancer, once again donning gold shoelaces to assist the Go 4 The Goal Foundation in raising awareness for pediatric cancer. To further the fight, the entire baseball team shaved their heads in solidarity with children who live with cancer as a part of a BaseBald event in conjunction with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. Volleyball hosted its annual Dig Pink match and women’s basketball once again participated in the national Play4Kay campaign, both in support of breast cancer research while women’s tennis held a fundraiser to help battle ovarian cancer. Earlier this summer, community outreach projects such as these were reclassified as a part of the newly unveiled Helping Athletes Learn to be Leaders (H.A.L.L.) Program.

•the student-athlete experience Pirate Blue Senior Awards Dinner

The Seton Hall University Department of Athletics hosted its secondannual Pirate Blue Senior Awards Banquet on May 7, at the Maplewood Country Club in Maplewood, N.J. The event was introduced in 2012 and aims to provide a platform to recognize the seniors from all 14 of Seton Hall’s varsity athletic programs for their outstanding achievements as student-athletes in front of their coaches, teammates, family and friends. Each senior student-athlete is also presented with a framed jersey or team specific commemorative item to honor their contributions to the university. The marquee awards of the night honored Seton Hall’s Female and Male Student-Athletes of the Year. The 2013 recipients were Brittany Morris of women’s basketball and baseball’s Jon Prosinski. Morris took a tremendous step forward as an individual in her final season at The Hall, the culmination of a career in which she steadily improved from year to year. A starter in all 31 games for SHU in 2012-13, Morris led the Pirates in scoring and established herself as one of the most dynamic guards in the conference, capturing Second Team All-BIG EAST and Second Team All-Metropolitan honors at year’s end. Morris leaves South Orange as the program’s all-time leader in three-pointers and ranks 20th in school history with 997 career points. On the diamond, Prosinski continued to cement his status as one of the most prolific hurlers to don a Seton Hall uniform. The Skillman, N.J. native more than lived up to his distinction as BIG EAST Preseason Pitcher of the

Year, taking the ball each Friday and delivering with unrivaled consistency for The Hall. He ascended to the top of the program’s all-time games started, innings pitched, strikeouts and shutout lists, and only one Pirate has ever posted more wins. In addition to these two awards, Brittany Hammer of softball was selected to receive the second-ever Student Most Valuable Pirate Award. Every year at the SAAC Awards Banquet, a member of the Athletics staff is given the Most Valuable Pirate Award in recognition of their service to the department. The Student Most Valuable Pirate Award highlights a senior student-athlete who has displayed leadership and dedication, and made exemplary contributions not only in the field of competition, but also in the classroom and in the Seton Hall community. The banquet also included academic recognition from Director of Academic Support Services Matthew Geibel. In addition to recognizing Hammer, Alexandra Maseko of women’s basketball and Prosinski as Seton Hall’s BIG EAST Scholar Athlete of the Year nominees, Hammer and Ryan Sullivan of baseball were honored as SHU’s Scholar Athletes of the Year, a distinction given to the female and male senior student-athletes with the highest cumulative GPAs. Geibel also announced Seton Hall’s 26 recipients of an Academic Merit Award, given to senior student-athletes who have maintained at least a 3.2 cumulative grade point average.

The Seton Hall University Department of Athletics hosted its Second-Annual Leadership Forum for current student-athletes on March 25, welcoming an all-SHU alum panel of business professionals to Walsh Gymnasium for a night of discussion, interaction and networking opportunities. After the successful inaugural edition was limited to seniors and juniors only, this year’s forum was expanded to include sophomores as well. Consistent with the vision behind the introduction of the event, student-athletes in attendance had the opportunity to listen to and meet with a diverse group of industry leaders that could impart valuable knowledge regarding the wealth of opportunities available to current students as well as recent graduates and the steps an aspiring professional can take to help differentiate themselves in a highly-competitive landscape. “The Leadership Forum is an unique opportunity to listen and get in touch with successful alumni who once were in the same position as many of us,” said Marie Klemme, a junior on the women’s soccer team and marketing major. The panel discussion, moderated by the voice

of the Pirate Sports Network Jon Schaeffer, included Joe Abruzzese, a veteran and leader of the broadcasting industry who currently serves as the President of Advertising Sales for Discovery Communications; Lisa LaBruno, Senior Vice President of Retail Operations at Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) and a former member of the SHU faculty; Richard C. McMahon, who in 15 years at retail giant Bed Bath & Beyond has risen to the position of Chief Strategy Officer & V.P. Corporate Operations and President/Chairman – International and Michael Lucciola, a member of the Seton Hall University Board of Regents who has served as the Managing Director of the Firefly Group, a private investment and advisory company, for over a decade. During the discussion, the panelists were asked to share their personal thoughts on being proactive during the undergraduate years, how to best network and create valuable, lasting relationships in an increasingly digitalized business environment and the importance of being prepared and having an educated plan when entering the job market. In addition to the question and answer session

as a part of the formal event, there was also a cocktail reception held in the Walsh Lobby where the student-athletes were afforded an opportunity to have one-on-one conversation with each of the speakers. “I enjoyed the opportunity to speak with so many of our student-athletes and to be a part the alumni panel,” said Lucciola who earned his MBA in Finance Concentration from Seton Hall in 1986 after graduating with a BS in Political Science two years earlier. “Seton Hall student-athletes develop unique, transferable skills throughout their undergraduate experience that make them very marketable when they enter the workplace,” he continued. “An event like this is a great opportunity for them to hear advice and insight that can outline the steps for their professional development.” “I really appreciate events like this,” added Klemme. “They inspire, and motivate myself and others to create a personal brand that will help us acheive our goals once we leave Seton Hall.”

•the student-athlete experience pirate Blue Thank-A-Thon

The Pirate Blue Athletic Fund held its third annual Student-Athlete Thank-A-Thon on Monday, April 8 in the Seton Hall Sports Polling Center. All 14 Seton Hall athletic programs were represented as over 25 studentathletes volunteered their time to call Pirate Blue donors to thank them for their financial support of Seton Hall Athletics. “The Thank-A-Thon is an annual event that has become a tradition for student-athletes directly affected by our supporters to reach out and say “Thank You”. Our student-athletes get to know those donors who generously give to Pirate Blue and are able to interact with them on a personal level,” said Patrick Lyons, Director of Athletics. “This is also a great way for our athletes to speak to our supporters about their experience here at Seton Hall as a student-athlete.” Throughout the evening, each student-athlete delivered a simple but sincere message: “Thank You.” “It was great to speak to a variety of supporters from various sports and generations to hear about Seton Hall and to say “Thank You”. I enjoyed getting to know those people who have, and will continue to help Seton Hall grow,” said Jon Ropson, a junior on the swim team. The student-athletes were able to call approximately 1,100 donors to thank them for all their annual contributions to Pirate Blue. Studentathletes also wrote to more than 150 randomly selected donors to thank them for their support of Seton Hall Athletics.

“The success of this event in years past has made it a highlight each year for not only the student-athletes but the donors as well,” added Lyons. “With all of the great things going on in the athletic department with the current construction, the Pride and Excellence Capital Campaign and the Pirate Pride Challenge, we have a lot to thank our donors for and to ask for their constant support as we continue to improve the athletic department and Seton Hall.” Pirate Blue donors should know that regardless of their gift amount and/or if they received a call/thank you note through the Thank-AThon, their contributions make a difference in the student-athletes lives. The next time the phone rings, it might very well be a Seton Hall student-athlete calling to say thank you.

SETON HALL ATHLETICS 2012-13 Annual Report

Seton Hall Athletics is proud to introduce the newly founded H.A.L.L. (Helping Athletes Learn to be Leaders) Program. The culmination of a dedicated effort to centralize a number of student-athlete development initiatives, the H.A.L.L. Program will serve to further supplement the student-athlete experience at SHU in areas that transcend any workout room or field of play. In accordance with the university’s mission of cultivating servant leaders, the stated mission of the H.A.L.L. Program is to “be the catalyst that transforms high school graduates into student-athlete leaders, and then leaders in the professional world.” Through a carefully crafted, five-pronged system, the H.A.L.L. Program is intended to not only guide studentathletes through their time as a Pirate, but provide first-hand experiences that will enable them to become trailblazers in their chosen fields as well. The program’s efforts will be focused on offering continued opportunities for education and participation in the following areas: Leadership Development, Student-Athlete Welfare Enhancement, Academic and Athletic Success Initiatives, Community Enrichment, and Spiritual Growth. By employing this concentrated approach, Seton Hall Athletics aims to continue its tradition of providing a wellbalanced experience that provides student-athletes the opportunity to compete at the highest level, and equips them with the tools and skills necessary to continue to do so once their playing career has concluded. “We are very excited about the launch of our H.A.L.L. program,” said Director of Athletics Patrick Lyons. “We have introduced a number of initiatives in this area over the last few years and getting this program off the ground was

considered a priority for all involved. Here at Seton Hall, we remain dedicated to not only promoting athletic success, but creating an atmosphere that stimulates and supports the growth of our student-athletes as individuals as well.” “This is something that I, along with the department, feel strongly about,” Lyons continued. “We look to continue to set a standard in student-athlete development and I believe this program will serve to further that pursuit.” “Seton Hall places an emphasis on providing its studentathletes with the resources they need to succeed during and after their college careers,” added Roberto Sasso, Assistant Athletic Director/Student-Athlete Development & Leadership. “Our primary function as an institution is to offer a diverse experience that will empower students to be successful after graduation and the implementation of the H.A.L.L. program is another example of Seton Hall Athletics’ commitment to this endeavor.” Sasso, who played a major role in the development of the program and will function as its director, joined the SHU staff in the spring of 2013 and brought with him a wealth of experience in dealing directly with student-athletes. A former student-athlete himself at Florida International University, he came to The Hall after playing a similar role for the BIG EAST Conference. While an employee at the league office, he served on the BIG EAST Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) of Administrators and was charged with a wide array of responsibilities related to the conference’s personal development projects.

Mission Statement The mission of the H.A.L.L. Program is to over the course of the student-athletes’ time at Seton Hall University, be the catalyst that transforms high school graduates into student-athlete leaders, and then leaders in the professional world.

Program Components Leadership The H.A.L.L. Program places a heavy importance on Leadership and building leaders in the community while they are student-athletes. The goal is for the student-athletes to take what they’ve learned, and their experiences, and make a difference in the community and the professional world after they graduate. Student-Athlete Welfare Enhancement The Student-Athlete Welfare component of the H.A.L.L. Program is broken down into two sub components, Student Life and Professional Development and Career Planning. It is important to educate the student-athletes on general life skills for college and beyond, as well as preparing them for life after graduation are considered valuable educational elements of the program. Academic & Athletic Success Initiatives An important component of the H.A.L.L. Program is the close relationship with Academic Support for Student-Athletes. This office focuses on successfully balancing the student-athletes’ commitments to academics and athletics. With that goal in mind, they monitor classroom performance by maintaining contact with faculty, monitoring and administering study halls, facilitating advisement, and overseeing compliance with university and NCAA academic regulations. Community Enrichment Service to the community has long been at the core of Seton Hall’s mission. This is a sentiment that extends into the athletics community and is deeply rooted in the experience of a Seton Hall student-athlete. In recent years, there has been a renewed focus among the 14 varsity programs regarding community involvement. Each team has adopted a variety of causes, ensuring that their impact is not limited to the confines of the playing field. Each year, student athletes participate in a number of on-campus and off-site events in support of causes ranging from cancer awareness and fighting hunger to promoting literacy. Spiritual Development In partnership with Seton Hall University’s Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS), the completely optional Ministry will work to further Seton Hall’s Catholic mission based on the Catholic tradition. Some goals of the program are to: • Establish a “student chaplain” for each team who is responsible for prayer and other ministry related activity • Encourage coaching staffs to allow for prayer, bible study, and mass attendance while on team travel whether a priest is present or not • Offer formation to coaching staffs related to sharing their own faith and how it impacts their own lives as models of inspiration for athletes

SETON HALL ATHLETICS 2012-13 Annual Report

anthony bozzella Anthony Bozzella (Seton Hall ’89) on March 27 was named the fourth head women’s basketball coach in Seton Hall history. He brings with him more than 20 years of head coaching experience and a proven track record of turning his teams into perennial contenders while ensuring that his student-athletes maintain an exceptional level of academic success.

The ability of Bozzella to completely transform a program is well documented. When he became the head women’s basketball coach at Long Island University in 2000 the Blackbirds had failed to post a winning season in the first 21 years of the program’s history. In the very first season Bozzella guided the team to 2001 Northeast Conference Championship and a berth into the NCAA Tournament.

Bozzella spent the past 11 seasons as the head coach at Iona College where he enjoyed four postseason berths and three 20-win seasons, all after taking over the reins of a program that had not produced a winning record in its history prior to his arrival.

His first head coaching job came at Division II Southampton, yet another institution that had failed to enjoy a winning season before Bozzella came onto the scene. In his third season Southampton broke through with a 17-11 overall mark, the first of six-straight winning campaigns for the Colonials.

The results on the court were bolstered by his team’s academic achievements. Bozzella boasted a 100 percent graduation rate for the student-athletes he recruited at Iona and the Gaels had a perfect NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) score during five of his last six seasons, including four-straight NCAA APR Public Recognition Awards. Additionally, Iona saw 64 student-athletes earn Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) All-Academic honors during Bozzella’s tenure. Bozzella plans to establish that same winning culture at Seton Hall and put a team on the court that Seton Hall fans and alumni will be proud to cheer on. There will be an emphasis on recruiting the best local talent and putting the Pirates in a position to succeed.

2012-13 Annual Report Seton Hall Athletics

Now Bozzella has come home to lead his alma mater into a new era of BIG EAST basketball while at the same time accepting the challenge of turning the Pirates into contenders to win the BIG EAST title. “It is an honor to have the opportunity to come home and coach at this great University,” Bozzella said the day he was introduced as head coach. “Seton Hall has always been a very special place to me. This is where I grew up, met my wife and now I have a beautiful family that I look forward to sharing this wonderful experience with. Our goal is to eventually win a BIG EAST championship. If you have any goals less than that, than you really shouldn’t play.”

•60th anniversary

of 1953 Seton Hall NIT Championship

In 2012-13, the Seton Hall men’s basketball program celebrated the 60th anniversary of its 1953 National Invitation Tournament (NIT) Championship. Arguably the most accomplished team in Seton Hall basketball history, the Pirates set a program record with 31 victories and finished the season ranked second in the nation by the Associated Press and United Press International Polls. Behind legendary Pirate co-captains Walter Dukes and Richie Regan, Seton Hall won its first 27 games and alternated the top two spots in the national polls throughout the season with Indiana, the eventual NCAA Tournament Champion. Seton Hall earned the top seed in the NIT, which was regarded as the premier postseason tournament at the time, and defeated Niagara and Manhattan to advance to a championship game matchup with St. John’s. On March 14, 1953 before a record crowd of 18,496 at Madison Square Garden and a live television audience in the tristate area on WPIX, Seton Hall downed St. John’s 58-46 to capture its first major championship. Dukes led the way with 21 points and pulled down 20 rebounds, while Regan scored 13 points and had seven assists to upend the Redmen. Dukes was the Most Valuable Player of the NIT, he was named All-America and won the Haggerty Award given to the top player in the metropolitan area. The 6’11” center set an NCAA single season record with 734 rebounds and a program record 861 points in 1952-53, both records still stand today. Regan became the third Seton Hall player to score over 1,000 points that season, finishing his career with 1,167.

•1992-93 anniversary In the BIG EAST Tournament Championship Game, Seton Hall routed Syracuse, 103-70, before 18,958 fans at “The World’s Most Famous Arena.” The Pirates unleashed a sweltering 60.3% (41-68) team shooting performance en route to the most lopsided championship game victory (33 points) in BIG EAST history. Arturas Karnisovas led the way with 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Jerry Walker poured in 19 points in the triumph. During the 2012-13 season, Seton Hall celebrated the 20th anniversary of one of the most storied men’s basketball teams in Pirate history. The 199293 team made a memorable run under legendary head coach P.J. Carlesimo to the program’s second BIG EAST Championship. That magical year the Pirates posted a program best 14-wins against BIG EAST opponents, including a perfect 9-0 home ledger, en route to the regularseason title for the second straight year. Seton Hall entered Madison Square Garden as the top seed at the BIG EAST Tournament, coasting to the conference crown behind BIG EAST Player of the Year Terry Dehere.

The 1952-53 team was guided by the program’s alltime winningest coach John “Honey” Russell (294 victories, 1934-43, 1949-60). The championship roster featured four Seton Hall Athletic Hall of Famers, including Dukes and Regan, along with Harry Brooks, who scored 856 points during his career, and Arnie Ring who was a member of three NIT teams in his time at Seton Hall. Henry Bockrath, Dick Brownley, Henry Cooper, Gus Eppinger, Bill Hammersley, Mickey Hannon, Bill Loeffler, Ronnie Marra, Jack Milani, Ronnie Nathanic, Joe O’Hare, Charles Tavers and Cappy Trowbridge rounded out the squad.

Karnisovas, an All-BIG EAST Second Team selection, and Walker, an All-BIG EAST Third Team honoree, joined Dehere on the All-Tournament Team. Dehere was named the Tournament’s Most Valuable Player averaging 22.7 points in the Pirates’ three victories. Overall, Seton Hall compiled a 28-7 record and earned a #2 seed in the 1993 NCAA Tournament before being upset by #7 Western Kentucky in the event’s second round. Arguably the most talented team in Pirate history, the roster featured five eventual 1,000-point scorers, four Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Famers, two NBA first round draft picks, the BIG EAST Player of the Year (Dehere), the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year (Walker) and the BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete of the Year (Karnishovas).

On February 2, 2013, at a special halftime ceremony during Seton Hall’s game with Cincinnati, several members of the 1992-93 team, including Dehere, Walker, Karnisovas and Luther Wright, were paraded onto the court and honored. Carlesimo also took part in the reunion and addressed the crowd at the Prudential Center.

However, Pirate Blue contributions make up only a portion of the department‘s annual operating budget, and the competitive landscape in college athletics has raised the bar nationwide. While Pirate Blue annual support is still critical to the Athletic Department’s success, capital giving is an additional opportunity to support Seton Hall’s athletic programs. 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.

SETON HALL ATHLETICS 2012-13 Annual Report

•Pirate Blue Membership: Completed Projects Installation of new Scoreboard

As part of the Pride & Excellence Capital Campaign, the Pirates were greeted by a striking new presence on Owen T. Carroll field where a comprehensive new scoreboard was officially installed in March. The new scoreboard, which will be utilized for Seton Hall soccer and baseball games, features a 10’x16’ cutting-edge LED video board that will greatly enhance the ingame viewing experience for Pirate fans both in attendance and watching live on the Pirate Sports Network. A big thank you goes out to all of our supporters who made fiscal contributions to this project.

•Pirate Blue Membership: Completed Projects Center for Sports Medicine

Another exciting part of the Pride and Excellence campaign is the new athletic training room facility. The training room serves as a cutting-edge onsite medical facility exclusively for intercollegiate student-athletes. It features an expansion of the old training center along with the addition of cutting-edge fitness and medical apparatuses. Such equipment includes three 14-foot in-ground Hydro Worx tubs that will supplement and greatly enhance rehabilitation efforts. Of these tubs, one is a “Polar Plunge” and one is a “Thermal Plunge,” providing the full spectrum of care. The third includes a state-of-the-art underwater treadmill. In addition to operating with variable water depths, the tub features a video system allowing for real-time monitoring of the student-athlete’s progress on the treadmill both above and beneath the water line. New treatment tables and taping stations have also been installed and the repurposed space includes offices for the Seton Hall sports medicine staff and the Pirates’ physicians.

•Pirate Blue Membership: Completed Projects Men’s basketball Locker Room

The men’s basketball locker room underwent a major facelift in 2012. The extensive improvements to the facility resulted in a renovation of nearly every space, including upgrades to the meeting and video room, lounge, kitchen, and the team’s lockers.

The new locker room space now features hard wood flooring, with the Pirate emblem on display in the center of the new floor. The mahogany lockers provide ample storage space and the unique branding feature of a transparent whicker Pirate logo in the storage area beneath the benches.

“In an effort to give our athletes the best resources to succeed at the highest level, this is the first of what we hope to be several new and exciting capital projects to enhance our facilities,” said Director of Athletics Patrick Lyons. “Thanks to the generosity of many alumni and friends of Pirate Blue, our men’s basketball team will have a locker room that rivals the best in the BIG EAST.”

“Thanks to the generosity of numerous loyal contributors, we now have a very impressive locker room to call our own,” said Head Coach Kevin Willard. “It is a fabulous facility that we can use as a recruiting tool and will assist in studentathlete development and game preparation. This is another symbol of the Seton Hall community’s commitment to building a top-tier program.”

•Pirate Blue Membership: in development

Construction is underway on the Charles W. Doehler Academic Center for Excellence, a cornerstone for Pride & Excellence Campaign which will feature a new Academic Advising Center for Seton Hall student-athletes. Named after former Pirate baseball student-athlete, coach, administrator and loyal supporter, Charles W. Doehler; the Academic Center for Excellence will be a highlight of Seton Hall’s commitment to the success of its studentathletes both on and off the playing field. The new space will feature a main study area, two group meeting spaces, two private tutoring rooms and offices for the department’s full-time academic advisors. The renovation will result in doubling the current size and creating a state of the art environment to enhance student’s academic and personal development. “Throughout his life, Chuck built an incredible network of friends and mentored countless student-athletes during his time with Seton Hall. I personally learned a great deal from Chuck and look forward to honoring his legacy with this project”, said Bryan Felt, Associate Athletic Director for Development. The Charles W. Doehler Academic Center for Excellence project will be followed by new locker room facilities for all of Seton Hall’s Olympic sports, a new varsity weight room and a new team video room. The Charles W. Doehler Academic Center for Excellence is set to open in the Fall of 2013.

We all work so hard as studentathletes, and it’s very rewarding to see that the University works just as hard to make sure we have all the resources necessary that we need to succeed. It’s so important to have the support of alumni, friends and family. I’m grateful to the members of Pirate Blue and all the supporters of Seton Hall Athletics for their generosity.

Coming from Ireland I was very excited to attend Seton Hall University, but was a little nervous. I can tell you that when I leave Seton Hall, I will have had the greatest experience of my life and will be prepared for every aspect of my future. The support of so many Pirate Blue members has provided me the tools to be successful and I will always be grateful. Gary Dunne men’s golf Robert E. ‘53 and Jean A.

SETON HALL ATHLETICS 2012-13 Annual Report

•promoting the pirates The Seton Hall Athletic Department unveiled a fresh look for SHUPirates. com through its new partnership with the CBSSports.com College Network. The Pirates’ customized official athletics website was strategically designed to enhance functionality with a concise navigation. The new SHUPirates.com was built on a comprehensive digital network that will allow fans to consume the latest information on Seton Hall’s 14 athletic programs through a multitude of platforms.

@SHUATHLETICS

The ‘Connect’ tab is a one-stop destination that features all of Seton Hall athletics’ digital offerings (E-Newsletter, AD Newsletter, mobile alerts, social media, and iPhone, iPad and Android apps) where fans can subscribe to their preferred method for keeping up with the Pirates. Additionally, the dropdown panel was revamped for easy navigation to specific pages, such as the ‘Sports’ menu where one touch of the mouse sends fans directly to their favorite team’s homepage, roster, schedule, stats or twitter page.

along with quick tabs located in the ‘Headlines’ box for easy access to the latest on-demand video content. The rapidly growing Pirate Sports Network produces a complete package of live event broadcasts, pre-game and postgame commentary, highlights, and a variety of video features that spotlight Seton Hall’s teams and studentathletes. One of the objectives for SHUPirates. com was to integrate a stronger social media presence for the Pirates into the site. Every team page is now customized with the program’s official Twitter and Facebook accounts. The @SHUAthletics twitter feed scrolls through the bottom of every page, and within the “sticky bar” there are icons linked to the Seton Hall Athletics Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. SHUPirates.com extended its reach in the mobile and tablet arenas with iPhone, iPad and Android applications. The apps feature everything from news updates, live scoring, in-app alerts, as well as live and on-demand video content. Additionally, SHUPirates.com’s revamped mobile website, which is available for any device, will enhance the visiting experience. Pirate Sports Network video content will also be available in native web browsers on most mobile devices through CBSSports.com College Network’s latest rollout of HTML5.

The Pirate Sports Network embedded video player was also placed in a centralized location on the site,
