2016 SAINT JOSEPH’S MEN’S LACROSSE MEDIA GUIDE 1
2016 SEASON OUTLOOK The Saint Joseph’s men’s lacrosse team will open the 2016 season at home this Saturday, February 20 against VMI, the first of eight home games to be played on Sweeney Field this spring. Under the direction of fifth-year head coach Taylor Wray, Saint Joseph’s returns 31 Hawks, including seven starters, and welcomes 14 newcomers for the 2016 season. Senior midfielder Rich Gabelman, senior defenseman Joe McErlean, senior attackman Pat Swanick, senior defenseman John Winchell and junior attackman Mike Rastivo were selected captains for the 2016 season. “We're excited to begin the 2016 season,” said Wray. “We feel like our team has a lot to prove. Right now, all we are focused on is improving and coming together as a group. Our approach is taking it one day at a time, one practice at a time, getting better inch by inch, and working to be prepared for the season opener on February 20th.” The Hawks will embark on their third year in the Northeast Conference this spring. Last year, Saint Joseph's posted an 11-6 record and went 6-0 in regular-season league play en route to clinching the NEC regular-season title and advancing to the NEC championship game. Recording back-to-back 11-win seasons, the Hawks are 22-10 overall and an undefeated 12-0 in the NEC regular season over the last two years. SJU will open NEC action at Hobart in Geneva, N.Y. on March 26 and will see an even three-home, three-road match schedule for league play. The Hawks were voted second in the NEC preseason poll. OFFENSE The Hawks return four of last season’s five 20+ point scorers in 2015 NEC Offensive Player of the Year junior Mike Rastivo (43g, 19a), 2015 NEC Rookie of the Year sophomore Chris Blewitt (18g, 12a), and All-NEC Second Team picks in seniors Kevin Forster (18g, 17a) and Pat Swanick (19g, 3a). This core combined for over half of SJU’s total goals (98-of-182) and points (149-of-284) in 2015. After posting a team-best 62 points in 17 starts last season en route to leading the NEC in points per game (3.65) and goals per game (2.53), Rastivo will be expected to lead the Hawks on the offensive end of the field this season. Rastivo reached single-game career highs in points (9), goals (6), assists (3), and shots (13) last as a sophomore last year and scored in 16 consecutive games. Last season’s point (62) and goal (43) totals rank second in SJU’s alltime single-season records. Blewitt led all SJU freshmen in all offensive categories last season and will look to continue last season’s momentum into his sophomore season. He made all 17 appearances with 16 starts and scored in 11 games, including a behind-the-back, overtime gamewinner against Hobart in the regular-season home finale to clinch SJU’s right to host the NEC Championships on Sweeney Field.
Mike Rastivo
Three-year starting attackman Swanick will round out SJU’s attacking trio. Last year, Swanick made 16 starts and matched a single-game career high four goals against Wagner and added three scores against then-#7 UVA. The senior captain has scored 15+ goals in each of his three seasons on Hawk Hill. Forster wasted no time breaking into SJU’s midfield after arriving at Hawk Hill from Maryland last season en route to making 14 starts for Crimson and Gray. He recorded a career-high eight points on two goals and a career-high six assists against Robert Morris and added a hat trick and two assists against then#7 UVA. Junior Ray Vandegrift tallied 10 points (8g, 2a) in 16 appearances, including nine starts, last season while junior Kevin Reidinger, who scored four goals in 14 appearances, and redshirt sophomore transfer Hayes McGinley (University School/Syracuse (N.Y.)), will also be in the midfield mix.
2016 SAINT JOSEPH’S MEN’S LACROSSE MEDIA GUIDE 2
2016 SEASON OUTLOOK Junior Anthony Joaquim has appeared in all 32 games over his
first two seasons and is a factor on both the offensive and defen-
sive ends of the field; as a sophomore last season, Joaquim turned in 11 points (5g, 6a) and added 47 ground balls.
From the defensive midfield position, sophomore Davis
Stoner (22GB, 9CT) and junior Evan Wolf (14 games played) played
at high levels for the Hawks last season, and expectations for both
are high this year. Junior Tyler Cliggett has joined the defensive midfield this season and brings great speed and offensive ability to the transition game.
The Hawks have significant depth with their veteran duo of
seniors Bryan Garrahan (career 10g, 2a) and Rich Gabelman (career 8g, 6a), who both saw time in more than half of last season’s games and own more than 35 career appearances apiece,
while juniors Marcus Milione and Robert Raucci and sophomores
Jason Kelly, Kyle Cain, and Mike Bano will round out SJU’s returning attackmen and midfielders.
Despite the loss of graduate Ryan McGee, one of the most
prolific scoring threats in SJU program history, Wray holds high expectations for SJU’s offensive unit in 2016.
“Our half-field offense has been a strength for our team, and
FACE-OFF 2015 All-NEC Second Team selection Mike Lanham returns to the X for his junior season this spring. Lanham went 159-of-290 at the face-off last season, winning over half (team-best .548) of his opportunities for the Crimson and Gray, to go with 70 ground balls in all 17 games. He earned double-digit wins at the X nine times, including a career-matching 17 wins at Delaware. In the NEC opener at Bryant, Lanham won the game’s final face-off with six seconds to play to set up the buzzer-beater gamewinner. He owns a career percentage of 54.9% (212-of-386) to go with 100 ground balls. Classmate Danny Manning saw face-off action in all but one game last season and went 33-of-82 (.402) from the X in 16 games. Manning won a season-high eight face-offs (8-of-15) and added a season-high four ground balls against Michigan and owns a career percentage of 43.9% (82-of-187) to go with 40 ground balls. Freshman Daniel Lanham (Garnet Valley, Pa./Garnet Valley) will also look for opportunities at the X after registering a .780 winning percentage (320-of-410) from the face-off to go with 17 points (5g, 12a) for Garnet Valley last season. “We are counting on our face-off group to help control momentum and keep us ahead in the possession battle,” said Wray. “We feel like we have three great options there.”
we believe it will continue to be a strength,” said Wray. “As
always, Coach Keating is doing a terrific job of putting our players in positions to be successful. Having our starting attack together
again this year gives us solid leadership and continuity at that end,
and that's important as our midfield group continues to come together.”
The Hawks bring in a pair of decorated attackmen in 2015 U.S.

2016 SEASON OUTLOOK DEFENSE For the second consecutive season, Saint Joseph’s defensive unit led the nation in Extra Man Defense in 2015, holding opponents to 12 goals in 60 opportunities (80%). Two-time All-NEC First Team senior defenseman John Winchell returns to lead the Hawks’ back line in 2016. Winchell recorded 26 ground balls and a single-season career-best 23 caused turnovers in all 17 starts last season en route to ranking fourth in the NEC in caused turnovers per game (1.35). Juniors Charles Giunta and Shane Taggert will also start on the back line. Giunta earned significant experience in his first two seasons, filling the role of injured players, and made 12 starts last season, including against Bryant in the NEC Final. Taggert owns 22 games worth of experience through his first two seasons, including 13 games last year. Sophomore transfer Nick Buckley (Oreland, Pa./La Salle College Prep/Bellarmine (Ky.)) and senior Joe McErlean can also be in the mix come opening day. Buckley was a 2014 All-Catholic First Team defenseman at La Salle College Prep and arrived on Hawk Hill by way of Bellarmine University this fall. McErlean scooped up 29 ground balls in 24 games throughout his first two seasons before missing most of last season due to injury. Junior Connor Kubikowski was utilized in all 17 games last year and owns 35 ground balls and 10 caused turnovers in 32 career games played while classmate Jared Wolf, now a long stick midfielder, will add to SJU’s depth with his solid transition game and a shot that can reach 109mph. Senior Cameron Riley and sophomores Sam Camp, Brendan McNicholas, and Austin Smith will add depth to SJU’s defensive unit while three rookies in 2015 High School All-American Dustin Buchanan (Pipersville, Pa./Central Bucks East), 2015 U.S. Lacrosse High School All-American Zack Reiss (Warrenton, Va./TrinityPawling), and 2015 All-New Jersey State First Team selection Thomas Tarleton (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) will also compete for time on SJU’s back line. Despite losing the leadership and talent of a trio of graduates in two-time All-NEC First Team LSM Will Farrell, two-time All-NEC Second Team defenseman Kevin Barrow, and two-year team captain Jack Moran, Wray expects his defensive unit to continue to reach high levels of success this spring. “We definitely miss Will, Kevin, and Jack,” said Wray. “Those guys logged a lot of minutes for us over the last four years, and it’s tough to replace that kind of experience. With that said, we've been pleased with how our returning defenders have stepped up into those roles. Giunta and Winchell have been very solid and I'm
John Winchell
really excited about how Taggert has emerged thus far. We have an ongoing competition for the 3rd spot down low, and I think it’s bringing out the best in all those guys. We return the core of our transition group in. Joaquim, E. Wolf, Stoner, and Kubikowski, and bringing J. Wolf up top has been a positive move. Smith and Buchanan are right there at LSM as well, so we feel we can be pretty good at that end of the field.”

2016 SEASON OUTLOOK GOALKEEPERS Junior T.J. Jones returns for his third season between the pipes for the Crimson and Gray in 2016. In 15 appearances with 11 starts last season, Jones went 9-4 (6-0 NEC) en route to posting a 7.89 goals against average and .537 save percentage in 753:09. Jones’ 7.89 GAA led the NEC and ranked sixth nationally at the end of the 2015 campaign and ranks second in SJU program history for single-season GAA. “T.J. has really matured over his first two season, and he seems very poised in and out of the goal this year,” said Wray. “He is our leader back there and our defense thrives on his communication and energy.” Sophomore Pat Dallon, who made two starts and seven appearances last season for a 6.81 GAA and .600 save percentage, and freshman Niklas Hedengren (Brookside, N.J./West Morris Mendham) will back up Jones in net.
T.J. Jones
SCHEDULE The Hawks’ 14-game schedule features eight home contests – including the February 20 home opener against VMI – to be played on Sweeney Field. St. Joe’s will play seven non-conference games to open the season and will see an even three-home, three-away game slate in Northeast Conference play. The bulk of non-conference action will run from February 20 through March 19, while regular-season NEC action will run from March 26 through April 30. Saint Joseph’s will kick off the 2016 campaign with four consecutive home games, featuring VMI (Feb. 20), Manhattan (Feb. 27), St. John’s (Mar. 2), and Drexel (Mar. 5). The Hawks will open road play at the University of Virginia’s Klöckner Stadium (Mar. 8) and will face Monmouth (Mar. 12) in West Long Branch, N.J. just four days later before closing out the seven-game non-conference stretch at home vs. Delaware (Mar. 19). “We're excited to add another regional opponent and Big East Conference foe in St. John’s University,” said Wray. “I think we can grow that into another great regional rivalry. With Manhattan, Monmouth, Drexel, Penn and Delaware, we are playing a lot of the top teams in our area, and that makes for an exciting non-conference line-up. We're also looking forward to making the trip down to Charlottesville again over our spring break. They are terrific hosts, and to keep an ACC team on the schedule is really exciting for our players.” Of Saint Joseph's eight non-conference opponents, the Hawks faced six last season en route to posting a 3-3 record, with wins over VMI, Monmouth, and Delaware. SJU’s losses to then-#7/7 Virginia and then-#14/12 Penn were decided by just one goal. This year will mark the first meeting between Saint Joseph's and St. John’s in program history while SJU and Manhattan will meet for the first time since 2010 and for the first time under the direction of Coach Wray. “Overall, I think the schedule will prepare us well for conference play, and that's what really matters most for us right now,” added Wray. The back-to-back 2014-15 NEC regular-season champion Hawks will kick off their third season in the NEC with a pair of road games at Hobart (Mar. 26) in Geneva, N.Y. and Wagner (Apr. 2) in Staten Island, N.Y. The Hawks will then return home for a pair of league contests, hosting Sacred Heart (Apr. 9) and four-time defending champion Bryant (Apr. 16) on Alumni and Family Day. Saint Joseph’s will then head to Robert Morris (Apr. 23) before facing city-rival Penn in non-conference play (Apr. 26) at Franklin Field. The Hawks will close out the regular-season four days later vs. Mount St. Mary’s (Apr. 30). The 2016 Northeast Conference Championship will be held on Thursday, May 5 and Saturday, May 7. The top four teams from the regular season qualify for the playoffs, with the highest seed earning the right to host the tournament.

Taylor Wray enters his fifth season as head coach for the Saint Joseph’s men's lacrosse team in 2016. Wray was named the head men's lacrosse coach at Saint Joseph's University on August 1, 2011, becoming the fourth coach in the program's history. Wray owns a four-year record of 33-30 and has produced 11-win seasons over the last two years. Currently 12-0 in two Northeast Conference regular seasons, Wray has coached two NEC Offensive Player of the Year selections, the 2015 Rookie of the Year, and 21 All-Conference picks as well as a two-time NEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year and 21 NEC Honor Roll honorees. For the second consecutive year, Wray led Saint Joseph's to an 11-win season in 2015, matching the second-highest single-season win total in program history. Under Wray’s direction, the Hawks led the nation in man-down defense (.800) for the second consecutive year and ranked in the top 15 in scoring defense, caused turnovers per game, clearing percentage, man-up offense, scoring margin, and winning percentage. For the second straight year, SJU went undefeated in April and own an 11-0 two-year record during games played in April. In their second season in the NEC, Wray coached the Hawks to another undefeated 6-0 league record to clinch the NEC regular-season title and earn the right to host the NEC Tournament as the top seed. The Hawks concluded the NEC regular season undefeated for the second consecutive year and earned its first postseason win since 2007. Wray was voted the 2015 NEC Coach of the Year and coached nine Hawks to AllConference honors, including the NEC Offensive Player of the Year, Mike Rastivo, and Rookie of the Year, Chris Blewitt. In 2014, one of the most historic seasons in SJU men’s lacrosse history, Wray led Saint Joseph’s to an 11-4 overall record as the program more than doubled its winning percentage from 2013 (.313) to 2014 (.733); those numbers of wins and winning percentage are secondbest only to the 2000 team in program history. Inside Lacrosse magazine tagged SJU as the national leader of Most Improved Offenses with a 10.4 percentage improvement rating from 2013 to 2014 while LaxPower’s computer rankings saw Saint Joseph’s atop the charts in changes in record, power ratings, and PR rank. Under Wray’s direction, SJU led the nation in man-down defense (.793), ranked in the top ten in scoring defense, scoring margin, and winning percentage, and set a record for lowest goals-against average in program history (8.15). Wray coached the Hawks to a 5-1 regular-season home record and 6-2 regular-season road record. Those respective .833 and .750 winning percentages mark the best percentages in program history. The Hawks went 5-0 throughout the month of April to become the only team in program history to win every game in April and owned two five-game winning streaks throughout the season, never losing back-to-back games at any point. In their inaugural season in the NEC Wray coached the Hawks to a 6-0 league record to clinch the NEC regular-season title and earn the right to host the NEC Tournament as the top seed. One of those NEC victories came in the form of a 9-7 win over #12/11 Bryant as Wray led the SJU men's lacrosse program to its first ever win over a nationally ranked opponent. Under Wray’s direction, SJU also scored a season-high 21 goals – the most goals scored by SJU in a single game since 2000 – in a victory over Sacred Heart and downed Hobart on the road in the regular-season finale to set a new program record for consecutive road wins in a single season (6). Wray was voted the 2014 NEC Coach of the Year and coached 11 Hawks to All-Conference honors, including the NEC Offensive Player of the Year, Ryan McGee. With 11 overall wins in 2014, SJU matched his total amount of wins from Wray’s first two seasons combined. As a member of the Colonial Athletic Association, Wray and his staff led the 2013 squad to a five-win season and its second victory against a conference opponent and the 2012 squad to a six-win season and its first victory against a conference opponent as a member of the CAA.

HEAD COACH Entering a 2012 program that saw just nine wins in the previous three seasons combined, Wray led a 2012 Hawk team that tied for eighth in the country in overall improvement, led the nation in win percentage increase, and tied for fourth in the nation in biggest jump in total number of wins with six overall victories. Wray began his coaching career at Saint Joseph’s after serving as an assistant coach at Lehigh University from 2008-11. Wray possesses a wealth of high-level playing and coaching experience, having played on the collegiate level at Duke University and professionally in the National Lacrosse League. "We are thrilled and honored to have Taylor join the Saint Joseph's athletic community," said director of athletics Don DiJulia. "He has achieved great things as both a player and a coach." "I can't thank Don Dijulia and the search committee enough for giving me the opportunity to be the next head coach of the Saint Joseph's men's lacrosse team," Wray said. "It is an honor and a privilege to lead this program and I am excited to get started. I know we have a tremendous amount of hard work in front of us, but I am confident we can rebuild a winning tradition. This is an exciting time for me and my wife as we are thrilled to be joining the Hawks' lacrosse family, and we can't wait to get to know the team, parents and alumni." Wray joined the Lehigh staff in September 2007 and served as the defensive coach and recruiting coordinator. The Mountain Hawks made great strides during his tenure and, in 2011, registered the nation's eighth biggest improvement according to LaxPower's computer ratings. Lehigh qualified for the Patriot League Tournament for the first time since 2006, while the defense lowered its goals against average by almost one goal. "It has been an honor to have my good friend Taylor Wray on staff here at Lehigh for the last four years," said Lehigh head coach Kevin Cassese. "He has been a key component to the overall growth of the program and I have no doubt that he will make a terrific head coach at the Division I level. I wish him all the best as he gets set to take over the lacrosse program at Saint Joseph's University." From 2003-06, Wray was an assistant coach at Queens University of Charlotte (N.C.) before serving as the lacrosse coach, academic coordinator, and strength and conditioning specialist at the National Sport Academy for one year in 2007. Wray enjoyed a successful playing career at Duke, helping the Blue Devils to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and winning ACC Tournament titles in 2001 and 2002. Serving as the team captain in 2003, he earned the Eric Tyler Hardy Defensive Player of the Year award and was a four-time selection to the ACC Academic Honor Roll. "For the people who know Taylor like I do, it is understood that he is going to be a star in this profession," said Mike Pressler, Wray's coach at Duke and the current head coach at Bryant University. "In my 29 years of college coaching, I've never come across a better leader. He is a young man of impeccable character and high moral fiber and just one of the true gentlemen in our game today. It's going to be very exciting for me to follow Taylor's coaching career from afar as he very quickly takes the Saint Joseph's program to the next level, as we know he will." Upon graduating from Duke in 2003 with a bachelor's of science degree, he was drafted second overall by the Calgary Roughnecks of the National Lacrosse League. He made an immediate impact, being named the 2004 Rookie of the Year, the Defensive Player of the Year and a First Team All-Star while helping Calgary to the NLL Championship. A three-time NLL All-Star, Wray played for the Philadelphia Wings from 2008-11 and served as the team captain in 2011. A native of Edmonton, Alberta, Wray has also excelled internationally. He is currently the head coach for the Canadian U-19 National Team and is an assistant coach for the Canadian National Team; he was the defensive coordinator for the 2012 U-19 Team and most recently served as the defensive coordinator for the 2014 Men's National Team that won the gold medal with an 8-5 win over Team USA at the 2014 FIL World Championships. He served in the same role for the 2010 National Team, which finished second at the 2010 World Championships. As a player, he was a member of the National Team that captured the International Lacrosse Federation World Championship for field lacrosse in 2006 and for indoor lacrosse in 2007. He was named to the All-World Team in 2007. Wray received a master's degree in teaching from Queens University in 2006. His wife, Lauren (nee Gallagher), was an All-American lacrosse player at Duke. They have two sons, Jackson and Ryan. Year 1993-97 1998-2004 2005-11

HEAD COACH Dan Keating Associate Head Coach - 5th Year Duke ‘99
Dan Keating enters his fifth season with the Hawks in 2016 and his fourth year as associate head coach, where he serves as the recruiting coordinator and offensive coordinator. Keating has developed back-to-back Northeast Conference Offensive Player of the Year selections in Mike Rastivo (2015) and Ryan McGee (2014) as well as the 2015 Rookie of the Year, Chris Blewitt. In four years at Saint Joseph's, Keating has helped guide the Hawks to a 33-30 record, including back-to-back 11-win seasons, and 21 All-Conference selections. For the second consecutive season, Saint Joseph's turned in 11 wins in 2015, matching the second-highest single-season win total in program history. The Hawks led the nation in man-down defense (.800) for the second consecutive year and ranked in the top 15 in scoring defense, caused turnovers per game, clearing percentage, man-up offense, scoring margin, and winning percentage. For the second consecutive year, the Hawks went undefeated in April and currently own an 11-0 two-year record during games played in April. Under Keating's guidance, the Hawks ranked 12th nationally in both scoring margin and manup offense and 24th in scoring offense to lead the Northeast Conference in all three categories. In their second season in the NEC, the Hawks once again went 6-0 in the league's regular season to clinch the NEC regular-season title and earn the right to host the NEC Tournament as the top seed. The Hawks concluded the Northeast Conference regular season undefeated for the second consecutive year and earned its first postseason win since 2007. In 2014, one of the most historic seasons in SJU men’s lacrosse history, Keating led Saint Joseph’s 2014 squad to increases in all major offensive categories. SJU saw its overall goal production increase by an astounding 4.65 goals per game, as the Hawks improved from 6.48 goals per outing in 2013 to 11.13 last season. Under Keating’s direction, SJU totaled 167 overall goals, 64 more than last season, and improved upon its Extra Man Offense by 43 points. The Hawks concluded the season ranked 10th nationally in scoring margin, 19th in shot percentage, and 20th in scoring offense. Saint Joseph’s led the NEC in all three categories. Saint Joseph’s finished the 2014 season with an overall record of 11-4 as the program more than doubled its winning percentage from 2013 (.313) to 2014 (.733); those numbers of wins and winning percentage are second-best only to the 2000 team in program history. Inside Lacrosse magazine tagged SJU as the national leader of Most Improved Offenses with a 10.4 percentage improvement rating from 2013 to 2014 while LaxPower’s computer rankings saw Saint Joseph’s atop the charts in changes in record, power ratings, and PR rank. The Hawks led the nation in man-down defense (.793), ranked in the top ten in scoring defense, scoring margin, and winning percentage, and set a new record for lowest goals-against average in program history (8.15). The Hawks posted a 5-1 regular-season home record and 6-2 regular-season road record. Those respective .833 and .750 winning percentages mark the best percentages in program history. The Hawks went 5-0 throughout the month of April to become the first team in program history to win every game in April and owned two five-game winning streaks throughout the season, never losing back-to-back games at any point. 2016 SAINT JOSEPH’S MEN’S LACROSSE MEDIA GUIDE 8
ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH In their inaugural season in the NEC, Keating helped the Hawks to a 6-0 league record to clinch the NEC regular-season title and earn the right to host the NEC Tournament as the top seed. One of those NEC victories came in the form of a 9-7 win over #12/11 Bryant, the Saint Joseph's men's lacrosse program's first ever win over a nationally ranked opponent. SJU also scored a season-high 21 goals – the most goals scored by SJU in a single game since 2000 – in a victory over Sacred Heart and downed Hobart on the road in the regular-season finale to set a new program record for consecutive road wins in a single season with six. In 2012, Keating helped SJU increase its overall goal production by nearly two goals an outing (6.75), and the Extra Man Offense nearly doubled its conversion percentage (.304), good for a 17-spot improvement in the national polls. In 2013, Keating coached SJU’s offensive unit to an increase in overall goals. Keating comes from Lehigh University, where he worked as the extra man offensive coordinator and assistant offensive coordinator. In 2011, the Lehigh Extra Man Unit finished ninth in the country in terms of scoring percentage and second in the Patriot League in terms of goals scored. As the assistant offensive coordinator, Keating helped develop the Lehigh offense that finished the 2011 season averaging 10.44 goals per game. Prior to joining the Mountain Hawks’ staff, Keating served as the head coach at Malvern Prep. In 2010, Malvern won the regular season Inter-Ac Championship. Under his leadership, Malvern produced two High-School All-Americans, one Underarmour All-American, three AllState players, and five All Inter-Ac First Team selections. In addition to coaching at Malvern Prep, Keating has also served as the head coach at St. Joseph's Prep and The Taft School. During his three years at St. Joseph's Prep, his teams compiled a record of 61-22, including a 4-3 record in the Pennsylvania state playoffs. While at St. Joseph's Prep, Keating coached 24 All-Catholic First Team players, three of whom earned All-State honors. A 1999 graduate of Duke University, Keating was a member of three NCAA Tournament teams, including the Blue Devils' 1997 squad that reached the NCAA Final Four. Keating was a member of the ACC Academic Honor Roll and earned his master's degree in Secondary Education from Saint Joseph's University. Keating is the founder and owner of Keating Lacrosse Clinics, LLC, which focuses on teaching the fundamentals of the game to aspiring youth lacrosse players. He, his wife, Kristin, and son, Daniel, reside in Philadelphia.

THE HAWK
One of the most famous mascots in college sports, the Saint Joseph's Hawk has been flapping its wings for 59 years. The Hawk, which celebrated its golden anniversary in 2005-06, is best known for staying in constant motion by flapping its wings throughout every basketball game and representing the Saint Joseph's motto, "The Hawk Will Never Die." Saint Joseph’s athletic teams have been recognized with the nickname “Hawks” since 1929. At that time, the school’s yearbook editor initiated a contest among the student body for a symbol. More than 100 submissions were narrowed, with “Hawks” winning out over “Grenadiers” by a slim margin. The name was appropriate because it typified “the fighting spirit of our crimson and gray athletes and it is suggestive of the aerial attack which has made our football team famous.” Football, ironically, was discontinued at SJU following the 1939 season. The Hawk mascot has garnered numerous accolades in its over 50-year history. It has been selected as the nation’s top mascot by The Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, Sports Illustrated for Kids, Street & Smith’s Basketball Yearbook, ESPN College Basketball magazine and was nominated for the Mascot Hall of Fame in 2008. 2016 SAINT JOSEPH’S MEN’S LACROSSE MEDIA GUIDE 11
SWEENEY FIELD Sweeney Field, formerly known as Finnesey Field, has been home to 10 different varsity squads at Saint Joseph’s University in over 80 years of use. Opened in 1929 as home to the SJU football squad, the field has undergone numerous changes over the years and is the current home of the men’s and women’s soccer teams and the men’s and women’s lacrosse teams. The most recent upgrade occured this summer, as the TigerTurf that was laid down in 2008 was replaced with FieldTurf and Saint Joseph’s track was resurfaced. The field was renamed Sweeney Field in Fall 2013 upon completion of an extensive expansion project. The venue has significantly increased the seating capacity for SJU’s varsity lacrosse and soccer programs. The new name recognizes the contributions of Sean S. Sweeney ’94 (MBA), a member of the University’s Board of Trustees and the lead benefactor to the renovation project. Sweeney Field was blessed in conjunction with Hawktoberfest on October 12, 2013 while a formal dedication was held on April 5, 2014. The current expansion includes the addition of 1,200 permanent seats to the hillside nearest to the University’s iconic Barbelin Hall as well as the addition of 1,100 portable seats on the opposite side of the field, increasing total seating capacity to 3,000. In addition, the facility includes a new state of the art press box and enhanced sound system. Opened in 1929 and planned as the centerpiece to a 70,000-seat football stadium, SJU was forced to eliminate the field’s original grandstand and hillside seating in 1960 due to the construction of Villiger (now Post) Hall/Bluett Theater. Since 1990, the field has undergone a number of upgrades and enhancements designed to expand usage and functionality, including installation of AstroTurf artificial surface prior to the currently TigerTurf surface, lights, and bleachers. Additionally, the track received a new coat of rubber material in 2009 to better suit the athletes who use it for all seasons. Currently the home of SJU men’s and women’s varsity soccer and lacrosse teams, Sweeney Field has also served as the home venue for Hawk baseball, field hockey, football and softball, in addition to peripheral usage by the men’s and women’s track teams, along with countless club, intramural and recreational activities. Legend has it that a 1777 Revolutionary War skirmish took place on the site. Finnesey Field had been named after the late James T. Finnesey. A native of Wyncote, Pa., parishioner at the Gesu and president of a local auto manufacturer, he was a member of the Saint Joseph’s Foundation Committee which was established in 1922 to raise support for the College’s relocation to Philadelphia’s Wynnefield neighborhood. Finnesey was a lead donor to the stadium project in 1927. In 1990, artificial turf replaced the grass, making Sweeney a truemulti-purpose facility. In 1994, the installation of lights furthered the use of the grounds, while new bleachers in 2003 on the hill next to Mandeville Hall added another touch of renovation to a historic stadium.

Baseball re-occupied the space in 1947, calling Sweeney home until 1959, and the Saint Joseph’s men’s soccer program was started in 1958 and played every season but except 1960 at Sweeney. Leading up to the 2015 season, the squad had compiled an overall mark of 171-199-37 in 57 seasons, at Hawk Hill, the most victories of any program on Sweeney Field. SJU opened its playing grounds with a 6-0 victory over Rutgers-South Jersey in October 24, 1958. In 1990, artificial turf replaced the grass, making Sweeney a truly multi-purpose facility. In 1994 the installation of lights furthered the use of the grounds, while new bleachers in 2003 on the hill next to Mandeville Hall were another touch of renovation to a historic stadium. The field hockey team played on Sweeney Field until 2007 and now practices and hosts games on the new Ellen Ryan Field on the Maguire Campus. The location has also been home to women’s soccer since 1996 and the field hockey team wrapped up its last season on Sweeney Field in 2007. The women’s lacrosse squad is 78-110 in 23 seasons on Hawk Hill. The best season came in 2009 when the Hawks went 10-8 and played their way to the Atlantic 10 championship game. The first game was played on March 23, 1993 when SJU defeated Gwynedd Mercy, 18-4. The men’s lacrosse team has compiled an overall 72-91 mark in 23 seasons on Hawk Hill. SJU’s 5-1 regular-season home record in 2014 marked the best winning percentage in program history. Also in 2014, the Hawks earned their first win over a nationally-ranked opponent in program history with a 9-7 victory over #12 Bryant on April 5, the day that Sweeney Field was officially dedicated. Overall, the site has seen 1,298 games entering the 2015-16 academic year, and SJU teams put together a total record of 589-650-59.

NORTHEAST CONFERENCE Northeast Conference History Now entering its 35th year as an NCAA Division I athletic entity, the Northeast Conference mission remains unchanged: to provide opportunities for student-athletes to achieve their fullest potential in the classroom, in athletic competition and in the community. Focusing on the areas of student-athlete achievement, academic excellence, integrity, sportsmanship, equity and diversity, innovation, community partnership and national engagement, the NEC has made significant strides in recent years under the leadership of Commissioner Noreen Morris. As the Conference builds around the theme of #NECPride, the 2015-16 academic year presents new opportunities for the NEC to stand out among its peers, while fostering a sense of pride amongst its student-athletes, coaches, administrators and fans. When the Northeast Conference (NEC) was first established as the ECAC-Metro Conference back in 1981, the league’s founders had one goal in mind: to create a competitive NCAA Division I men’s basketball conference for unaffiliated schools on the Eastern seaboard. A single-sport entity at its inception, the NEC has grown far beyond expectations over the past three plus decades, having transformed itself into a 10-member, 22-sport conference. The remarkable success story of the Conference began to unfold in 1985, when the league began sponsoring additional sports. Three years later, a change of name was in order and the Northeast Conference as we know it today was born. With membership and sport sponsorship continuing to grow over the years, the NEC now enjoys qualification or play-in access to 14 different NCAA Championships (baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, football, men’s and women’s golf, men's and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s volleyball). Though the NEC has featured various incarnations since its inception, charter members Fairleigh Dickinson, LIU Brooklyn, Robert Morris, St. Francis Brooklyn, Saint Francis U and Wagner remain part of the current 10-school alignment. They are joined by Mount St. Mary’s (admitted in 1989), Central Connecticut (1997), Sacred Heart (1999) and Bryant (2012). The NEC's six-state geographic footprint includes access to such major media markets as New York City, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Hartford and Providence. NEC member institutions now compete in 22 championship sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s bowling, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.

Success in the Classroom It was a landmark year for NEC’s 4,000+ student-athletes in the classroom. NEC student-athletes averaged a record 3.19 GPA for the 201415 academic year and 76 percent of NEC teams finished with a 3.0 GPA or better. Over 1,900 student-athletes were named to the NEC Academic Honor Roll in 2014-15, and nearly 500 were tabbed to the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll with GPAs of 3.75 or higher. Likewise, five NEC student-athletes were tabbed Capital One Academic All-Americans. The NCAA honored 34 NEC teams with public recognition awards for exceptional academic performance with respect to their latest Academic Progress Rate scores. NEC institutions also ranked among the nation’s elite in Graduation Success Rate (GSR) figures released by the NCAA with 32 teams achieving a perfect 100 percent GSR in their respective sports and 44 percent earning a GSR of over 90 percent. Student-athletes at Sacred Heart and Wagner posted identical 3.28 GPAs to share the 2014-15 NEC Institutional Academic Award. Athletic Achievement To have #NECPride is to live it, and NEC student-athletes did just that on the field of play during the 2014-15 season, a year that yielded 19 All-American selections, five Capital One Academic AllAmericans, and eight teams which earned national rankings in their respective sports.
Saint Joseph's enters its third season as an associate member in the Northeast Conference. SJU competes against Bryant, Hobart, Mount St. Mary's, Robert Morris, Sacred Heart, and Wagner in the NEC.
Commitment to Sportsmanship The NEC continued its long-running participation in the NCAA’s Respect Campaign, an effort to promote an environment of respect and integrity at Conference events. The NEC Team Sportsmanship Award program recognized those teams and student-athletes who adhere to the principles of sportsmanship and pursue victory with honor. The NEC honored 22 teams for their commitment to sportsmanship during the 2014-15 academic year.

THE UNIVERSITY Founded in 1851, Saint Joseph’s is an independent, Catholic, Jesuit university teaching disciplined reasoning, effective communication and a love of learning. From Willings Alley in Old City Philadelphia to Stiles Street in North Philadelphia to its current location on City Avenue, Saint Joseph’s has continued to grow and change with the times. The University combines the Jesuit tradition of academic excellence, a history of service and an ideal campus location to produce successful students who strive to make a good world even better. Full-time, undergraduate day enrollment comprises approximately 4,670 students. Graduate, evening and executive programs push total enrollment to more than 8,000 students. THE JESUIT TRADITION OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Saint Joseph’s nationally-recognized academic reputation is confirmed by ongoing acknowledgment in Barron’s, U.S. News & World Report and Peterson’s. The Jesuit tradition of intellectual inquiry and personal concern manifests itself in small, challenging classes taught by a caring faculty. Graduate assistants do not teach, so undergraduates can be sure they are receiving the very best educational experience from trained experts. One-on-one interaction between students and faculty is a reality at Saint Joseph’s. A solid liberal arts curriculum provides across-the-board learning for every student. Supporting that curriculum are comprehensive academic majors and learning facilities. The result is a broad education that prepares students not only for employment and graduate school, but for life itself. In the fall of 1998, SJU opened the $25 million Owen A. Mandeville Hall, which houses the Erivan K. Haub School of Business, the Center for Food Marketing and the region's first "Teletorium" and "Moot Boardrooms." An 87,000-square-foot international academic center featuring state-of-the-art distance learning technology, it is located near the corner of 54th Street and City Avenue.
A HISTORY OF SERVICE The students of Saint Joseph’s University are dedicated to making today’s world even better. A natural spirit of volunteerism has enabled the University’s community service programs to become the most popular extracurricular activities on campus. In addition, a Service Learning program allows students to receive academic credit for their work outside the classroom. SJU offers local, national and international opportunities for student service. From
North Philadelphia to Camden, N.J.; from New Orleans to the Appalachian Mountains, Saint Joseph’s students embrace the Jesuit mission of serving those in need. The Thanksgiving Dinner Dance for area senior citizens and the Hand-in-Hand Festival for the handicapped are two annual student-run events that draw thousands of special visitors to campus for fun and friendship.
IDEAL CAMPUS LOCATION SJU’s City Avenue location combines the best of dynamic Philadelphia with the suburban, residential setting of the elegant Main Line. Saint Joseph’s 65 acres span two counties, allowing students to literally enjoy the best of both worlds. The city of Philadelphia, with its tremendous wealth of historical, cultural, social and athletic attractions, is easily accessible, while the safety, serenity and greenery of a suburban campus are right at hand. The friendly atmosphere and close-knit campus ensure that students don’t get lost in either the literal or the figurative sense at Saint Joseph’s. Expanded library, computer and athletic facilities add a big-time “feel” to this growing university.
SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS Men and women leave Saint Joseph’s prepared. The University boasts an excellent record of placing its graduates in first-time jobs, professional schools and other
advanced degree programs. Part-time work and internships provide real-world experiences, the kind which delight future employers. And with its many diverse student organizations, SJU offers ample opportunities to assume leadership positions. An extensive on-campus recruitment program provides graduates with a head start in their employment search. Regular meetings with faculty advisors, along with advisory programs in the health professions and in pre-law, assist students who wish to further their schooling.
PHILADELPHIA SJU’s Philadelphia location gives students access to two worlds. The campus resembles a park, surrounded by the stately homes of Philadelphia’s historic Main Line suburbs. Yet students have access to the cultural, commercial and recreational activities of downtown Philadelphia -– only a short ride away. SJU students take frequent advantage of the artistic and cultural resources Philadelphia offers, as well. They visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; the Franklin Institute Science Museum; the Academy of Music, which houses ballet and opera; and the new Kimmel Center, home to the Philadelphia Orchestra. In addition, SJU students enjoy rooting for Philadelphia’s teams in the four major professional sports leagues.
