About Joseph J. Morrone Stadium
Joseph J. Morrone Stadium, with its seating capacity of just under 4,500 and a natural grass playing surface, is one of the finest college soccer facilities in the nation. The natural grass playing surface measures 75 by 120 yards, the maximum dimensions for a collegiate soccer field. The stadium has undergone major improvements over the past several years. This new-look Stadium has been funded by both state monies and by private contributions through the UConn Friends of Soccer support organization. The latest part of the new-look to Morrone Stadium are its visual enhancements which provide recognition of historical team and individual achievements. These enhancements are panels that have been placed in each end zone as well as on the front side of the press box. Prior to the 2010 additions, Morrone Stadium’s last feature added was a full field lighting system, installed right before the 2000 soccer season. The addition of lights to Morrone Stadium was a tremendous boost to the soccer program. The facility is one of the top collegiate sites in the nation and the ability to play matches under the lights means the national-level soccer program has a national-level, state-of-the-art home surface, day and night. In addition, the matches played under the lights create an enjoyable atmosphere which can involve the entire soccer community and generate a positive effect on home game attendance. The enhancements over the years at Morrone Stadium include: a state-ofthe-art scoreboard and message center; aluminum bleachers; replacement of Coach Morrone the natural grass surface, with new grass and an irrigation and automatic watering system installed; and one of the top press boxes in the country. The fully enclosed and heated aluminum-sided press box measures 120 feet. It includes a 60-foot midsection for working media, rooms for television and home and visiting radio, an enclosed upper camera deck, and special hospitality areas for guests. Additionally, television monitors are positioned throughout the press box for viewing the game action below. On April 11, 1997, the University of Connecticut Board of Trustees approved the naming of the Connecticut Soccer Stadium as the Joseph J. Morrone Stadium. The naming of the stadium enables the Division of Athletics to recognize the significant contributions that Joe Morrone has made to the growth of soccer on all levels, but more specifically at the University of Connecticut. Coach Morrone retired as head coach of men’s soccer at Connecticut following the 1996 season. In 28 years directing the UConn program, Morrone compiled an overall record of 358-178-53, and in 39 years as a collegiate head soccer coach he compiled a 422-199-64 record, ranking him as one of only four collegiate soccer coaches with more than 400 career victories. In 1981, he led Connecticut to the NCAA Division I National Championship.

Len Tsantiris Head Coach 34th Season UConn ‘77 Head coach Len Tsantiris embarks on his 34th year as the head coach of the women’s soccer program at Connecticut. In 2012, Tsantiris became only the second coach in collegiate women’s soccer to reach the illustrious milestone of 500 career victories. Under his leadership, UConn has advanced to 28 NCAA National Tournaments, including 26 straight from 1982-2007. Four of those postseason appearances included visits to the NCAA Championship Game in 1984, 1990, 1997 and 2003. During his tenure, Tsantiris has created a women’s soccer program that has received national attention for the team’s successes on and off the field. In his 33 seasons in charge of the UConn women’s soccer program, Tsantiris, an inductee of the Class of 2012 for AHEPA Hellenic Athletic Hall of Fame, has compiled an outstanding 511-180-50 record. Tsantiris guided UConn to an 11-9-0 record in the school’s first year as a member of the American Athletic Conference in the fall of 2013. UConn finished fourth in the regular season league standings and hosted a home quarterfinal game in The American Tournament. The squad finished with a 5-4 record in league play. In 2012, Tsantiris led the Huskies to a 9-8-2 record and guided the squad to their eighth appearance in the BIG EAST Quarterfinal in the past 10 years. UConn went 4-5-1 in conference action in the team’s final year in the BIG EAST, including a 3-1 win over Rutgers which clinched a trip to the quarters and earned Tsantiris his 500th win. The Huskies struggled in the 2011 campaign posting a 7-8-2 record as it was the first time the squad failed to reach the BIG EAST Tournament with a 4-5-2 conference mark. Under Tsantiris’ direction, Connecticut finished the season 4-2-2 at home at Morrone Stadium, including a thrilling 3-0 victory over No. 20 Boston University. The 2010 season saw Connecticut reach the NCAA Tournament for the 28th time. The Huskies recorded one of the most momentous victories in BIG EAST history on October 31 when UConn ousted eventual National Champion Notre Dame from the BIG EAST Tournament with a 2-0 victory in South Bend. UConn became the first BIG EAST team to defeat the Irish in 77 games. The 77-game conference winning streak was the longest of its kind in any sport. UConn continued the long history of academic success as well. The Huskies finished the year with the highest GPA of any team at Connecticut. Twenty-two players earned BIG EAST All-Academic Honors while graduate student Annie Yi was named the BIG EAST Scholar Athlete of the Year.

The 2006 Huskies earned a berth in their 25th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance after finishing the season with an 11-7-4 overall record, 7-3-1 in the BIG EAST. UConn reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament, posting a 1-1 tie against top-seeded Texas. The Longhorns, however, advanced to the next round after winning in penalty kicks.

In that game, UConn took a 2-0 lead into halftime, handing the Tar Heels their first two-goal halftime deficit since October 18, 1999. Later in the year, UConn played to a 0-0 draw with national runner-up Notre Dame at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium. The scoreless draw marked the first time an opponent had held Notre Dame without a goal since October 22, 2004. The tie would be the only blemish on the Notre Dame record until falling to North Carolina in the national championship game. In 2005, the Huskies advanced to their 24th consecutive NCAA tournament appearance and earned a BIG EAST divisional regular season championship. The team held a 10-game unbeaten streak from Sept. 9 through Oct. 9 and posted a 15-5-2 overall record. In BIG EAST play, the Huskies finished 10-1. The 2004 Huskies had a remarkable run through the season and finished with an 18-7-1 overall record. UConn maintained a nine-game winning streak, a seven-game shutout streak in the middle of the season and captured their second BIG EAST Tournament Championship by beating Notre Dame. The Huskies advanced to the third round of the NCAA tournament before being knocked out by Notre Dame, who went on to win the 2004 National Championship.

Under Tsantiris’ direction, in the first game of the NCAA Tournament, a double-overtime game winner by Brittany Taylor handed the Huskies the 500th program win and Tsantiris his 474th career victory. Under Tsantiris’ direction in 2008, a young squad returned to the BIG EAST Championship match for the first time since 2005. After starting the season slowly, the team rallied back earning some key road victories which helped the Huskies into the BIG EAST tournament for the 15th time in program history. During the BIG EAST Championship game, the Huskies forced overtime with the nationally ranked No. 1 Notre Dame shutting the Fighting Irish out in regulation, the only team to do so during the 2008 season. The Huskies fell during the overtime period ending their season prior to the NCAA tournament for the first time in the school’s history. The 2007 Huskies advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals for the first time since 2003. It was their 26th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The team finished with a 14-6-2 overall record, 8-2-1 in the BIG EAST. UConn advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament on penalty kicks after playing to a 0-0 tie with Boston College. They then defeated Wake Forest 1-0 two days later in the second round. The following weekend they went across the country to defeat top seeded Stanford 2-0 in the third round. Traveling again in the quarterfinals, the Huskies led Florida State 2-1 with eight minutes to go before the Seminoles were able to score the tying goal.

In the first two rounds, the Huskies faced local rivals Boston University and Central Connecticut. In the third round, the Huskies dominated Michigan with a 5-0 victory to advance to the quarterfinals against BYU. After beating the Cougars, 3-1, the Huskies went on to defeat Florida State 2-0 in the semifinals to advance to their fourth NCAA title game against North Carolina. The Huskies won their first-ever BIG EAST Tournament Championship in 2002, as they also claimed the regular season Northeast Division title. UConn made their 21st consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament, being tabbed the fourth seed in the 64-team bracket. The team bowed out in the NCAA quarterfinals, ending the season at the hands of Penn State in a 2-1 loss. The Huskies compiled a 21-3-1 record for the year. The 2001 season added another winning effort to Tsantiris’ resume, as the Huskies finished 18-6-0 overall and captured their third straight BIG EAST Northeast Division title. In addition to leading the team to its 20th straight NCAA Tournament appearance, Tsantiris became only the second women’s soccer head coach to win 350 games in his career. In 2000, the team was nationally-ranked for the majority of the season, compiling an overall record of 17-7-2, and 5-0 in the BIG EAST. The Huskies were crowned the BIG EAST Northeast Division Champions and earned a berth to the NCAA Tournament. After upsetting No. 2 Nebraska in the Sweet 16 of the tournament, Connecticut advanced to the Elite Eight for the eighth straight season, the 15th time under Tsantiris. The 1999 season was another in a long line of highly successful campaigns for Tsantiris and the UConn women’s soccer program. The Huskies won the BIG EAST Northeast Division title and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals for the seventh consecutive season. The Huskies won the BIG EAST Conference regular season championship in 1998 with a 10-0-1 record and Tsantiris was honored as the BIG EAST Coach of the Year. He also posted his 300th career win during the season and UConn concluded the overall year 212-2, advancing to the NCAA quarterfinals. In 1997, Tsantiris fielded one of his best teams ever as the Huskies posted a single-season school record 23 wins en route to an overall record of 23-4-0. Connecticut won four NCAA contests and advanced to the NCAA Division I National Championship game for the third time. For his efforts, Tsantiris was named the 1997 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Division I Women’s National Coach of the Year. As the architect of the Connecticut women’s soccer program, Tsantiris has also been honored as the NCAA Division I Northeast Coach of the Year four times (1983, 1987, 1995 and 1996) and BIG EAST Coach of the Year in 1995 and 1998. In 1981, Tsantiris, a highly successful scholastic soccer coach, took over the reigns of the women’s soccer program at Connecticut, his alma mater. Going into
the 2008 season, the Tsantiris-led Huskies have averaged 16.9 wins per season. The 26 consecutive NCAA appearances under Tsantiris resulted in an impressive three consecutive national championship semifinal appearances in 1982, 1983 and 1984 and four more semifinal appearances in 1990, 1994, 1997 and 2003. The Huskies were NCAA Tournament runners-up in 1984, 1990, 1997 and again in 2003.

Both Tsantiris’ 1982 and 1983 Connecticut squads completed the regular season with undefeated records and the No. 1 ranking in the final NCAA National Top 20 poll, earning the top seed in their respective NCAA national tournaments. In 1982, the Huskies went 14-0-1 in regular season play while the 1983 squad fashioned an 18-0-1 record at the end of the regular season and finished the season with a then school-record 19 wins (19-2-1). In 1983, Tsantiris was awarded the Jorgensen Award, which is given by the UConn Alumni Association to an alumnus who has made outstanding contributions to the improvement of intercollegiate athletics at UConn. Tsantiris holds an “A” coaching license from the United States Soccer Federation and serves on numerous soccer boards and organizations.

In October of 1989, Tsantiris received an award from the Connecticut Soccer Ambassadors in recognition of outstanding contributions to the development of women’s soccer in the state of Connecticut. Success followed Tsantiris to Connecticut in 1981 after a four-year stint as girls’ head soccer coach at E.O. Smith High School in Storrs, Conn. While at E.O. Smith, his Panthers captured three straight state championships. The Panthers also set a Connecticut state record for most consecutive games without a loss (56) while out-scoring their opposition by an incredible 254-18 margin over a three-season span. A 1977 UConn graduate with a B.S. in physical education, Tsantiris was a varsity soccer forward under former men’s soccer mentor Joe Morrone. A four-year letterwinner, Tsantiris received All-New England and All-Yankee Conference honors. During those four seasons, the Husky squad qualified for the NCAA national tournament three times, advancing to the Final Eight in 1971 and 1974 and to the Final Sixteen in 1975.

UConn is also one of the few schools that have the major that I would like to pursue, speech and language pathology. My love for UConn soccer and the academic programming offered makes UConn a perfect fit for me.”

“I chose UConn because when I was young one of my idols competed here and it was always a dream to come here and follow her footsteps, and some how through fate I ended up here. The coaching staff as well as the team played a major roll in my decision as well by welcoming me into the family comfortably. I love the athletic atmosphere and the all-around community on campus.

Alumni on UConn... “For me, the decision to attend UConn was an easy one. After visiting many different schools and meeting several coaches, it became clear to me that the coaches at UConn were special. As Coach Tsantiris sat in my living room and talked with my family and me, there was something about him that let me know he really cared about me and wanted what was best for me. After making my decision to attend UConn, I saw nothing less than that. Growing up, I played in the National Pool with many talented players who also went to great programs, many of whom did not play right away. Coach Tsantiris gave me a chance and constantly showed his confidence in me. That is why I was able to be successful and enjoy playing in college. Playing at UConn was the best experience I have had and it would not have been possible without the coaches. I am truly grateful for the opportunity and the relationships I have gained, which will last a lifetime.”
“I chose UConn because I wanted to win a national championship. For me it was about finding the right fit of coaching with the right group of players, and UConn has proven to have both. You can pull all the stats and the records and the accomplishments of other top teams, but when the decision needed to be made it wasn’t about numbers at all. The decision for me was about the atmosphere, the players and the support which gave me a sense of home for the next four years. I wanted to have a team that I felt would be there battling next to me on the field, and when it was all said and done, still be at my side as we move on from this journey. UConn has given me that and more.”

When I made my recruiting trip, I stayed with four older players in the apartments, saw the team play two games and practice and saw the men’s team play. I loved watching them play and loved how they played. But most importantly, I felt so comfortable that I already felt a part of everything. I had a feeling that this was going to be the right place for me. After the recruiting trip was over and I left for home, as soon as we got in the car, I told my parents that this is where I was going. I canceled my other recruiting trips and I chose UConn.”
“My desire to play at the highest level of collegiate competition is what attracted me to UConn. Their soccer program’s high national ranking was appealing, but even more impressive was the strong tradition and the high level of expectation. I was positive that my talents would be maximized through the competition from my teammates, the strength of the opponents, and the guidance of Coach Tsantiris. Playing for a national championship was a thrill of a lifetime.”
- Brittany Taylor, (2005-2009)
- Wendy Logan (1988-1991)
“Playing soccer at UConn was one of the best decisions that I ever made in my life. I knew going in how competitive it would be and what an honor it would be. What I didn’t know back then was that I was making life long friends.”
“I chose UConn because of the strength and intensity of the girls on the soccer team. My teammates and coaches have never allowed me to stop becoming the best version of myself; as a person, athlete, or player. And I don’t think they’ll ever stop pushing me to set a higher bar for myself in soccer or life. I am extremely grateful for what my teammates and coaches have taught me the past few years at UConn.”

2014 Season Preview FORWARDS (eight returning, two newcomers) The UConn attack will figure to be led in 2014 as it was a year ago by sophomore standout Rachel Hill. During her freshman campaign in 2013, Hill burst onto the scene to the tune of a 13-goal, 31-point season. Her outstanding first spell in Storrs led to a First Team All-American Athletic Conference nod, a spot on the NEWISA All-New England First Team and an All-Rookie laurel from The American. Hill returns in 2014 after competing with the U-20 United States Women’s National Team at the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. She was also a member of the Stars and Stripes at the 2014 U-20 CONCACAF Championship, tallying a goal and five assists in five games to help the Yanks win the tournament and qualify for the U-20 Cup. In addition to Hill offensively, UConn can reliably turn to junior Stephanie Ribeiro, who finished second behind Hill with six goals, four assists and 16 points last season. Ribeiro joined Hill on the All-Conference First Team and was an All-New England Third Team member. Back as a starter on the attack as well is fellow junior Samantha McGuire, who started all 20 games for Connecticut in 2013 and scored a goal and dished out three assists. Ribeiro has found the back of the net nine times in her UConn career, while Maguire has notched five career tallies. Also returning to bolster the attack is redshirt junior Andrea Plucenik, who will aim to regain the form of an outstanding 2012 campaign after an injury limited her to four games last season. In 2012, Plucenik scored five teams and added five assists to finish second on the team with 15 points en route to an All-Conference Third Team nod. Sophomore Faith McCarthy earned a pair of starts during her freshman campaign, as she played in 16 games overall and recorded an assist and eight shots. Other returners at forward include junior Allison Gallo, redshirt freshman Alexa Keney and sophomore Caroline Massey, who bring valuable game experience and depth to the unit. Freshmen Tanya Altrui and Brittany Moreau round out the forwards and will look to crack the rotation during their first seasons in Storrs.
MIDFIELDERS (six returning, four newcomers) Another unit with plenty of experience, UConn returns three players who started at least 10 contests in the midfield and six who played in 18 or more contests. Redshirt senior Julie Hubbard returns to anchor the unit after starting all 20 contests last season, during which she recorded four goals and finished third on the on the squad with 65 shots. The Penn State transfer also potted a pair of game-winning goals for the Huskies. Senior Riley Houle provides an offensive punch from the midfield, and her 4g-5a-13p scoring line from a year ago was third on the squad. Overall for her career, Houle has scored 11 goals and dished out eight assists to give her 30 points over 54 games in National Flag Blue and White. Junior Ruby Fee is the third returning starter in the midfield after making 16 starts in 19 total appearances last year to give her 26 career starts. Juniors Brianna Butler and Miranda Tarpey combined to appear in all but three contests between them last season, and each made at least four starts in the midfield. Senior Lindsey Watkins is also back to bolster the midfield, with 22 career appearances under her belt. A talented group of newcomers at the position includes versatile Syracuse transfer junior Megan Hunsberger and freshmen Danielle Gottwik, Noriana Radwan and Sabrina Toole.

2014 Season Preview (Cont.) DEFENDERS (four returning, six newcomers) Another unit stocked with returning starters, the UConn back line features four defenders who started nine or more contests a season ago. Leading the way is redshirt sophomore Gabriella Cuevas, who bounced back from consecutive season-ending injuries to start all 20 contests at center back and led field players with 1,777 minutes in 2013. Senior Gabrielle Charno provides plenty of experience and some offensive prowess to the back four, with 16 starts in 18 overall appearances last year and 35 career starts in 49 games. Overall in her career, she has fired 22 shots and scored a pair of goals, including a game-winner last season. Classmate Gianna Roma started nine games in 2013, and has started 41 contests in her 49-game career. Sophomore Liana Hinds will also return as a starter, after making 11 starts and playing in all 20 contests in 2013. A converted forward, she has played in 34 career games with 21 total shots including 12 on goal. Like Hill, she spent the early part of 2014 at the 2014 U-20 CONCACAF Championship, where she represented Trinidad & Tobago for the second time. Hinds previously scored two goals for Trinidad in the 2010 U-17 Women’s World Cup. Six newcomers on the defense will bolster the Husky defense, with Eastern Kentucky transfer junior Annie Wickett joining Georgia transfer and redshirt-sophomore Toriana Patterson to give UConn two fresh faces with collegiate experience. Also joining the fray are a quartet of freshmen; Youn-Jae Baek, Emily Maier, Breanne Moreau and Sara Rothery.
GOALKEEPERS (two returning, one newcomer) Back to man the cage after a strong freshman season is redshirt-sophomore Emily Armstrong, who started all 20 contests and played all but 31 minutes for the Huskies in 2013. Armstrong was named to The American All-Rookie Team following the season, and was also a NEWISA All-New England First Team member. Overall, Armstrong compiled an 11-9 record with a 1.49 GAA, 68 total saves and six shutouts. Joining her in the goalkeeping ranks is junior Allison Saucier, who played in two games in 2013 after starting six times in 2012. Saucier holds a career record of 4-2-1 with a 1.56 GAA. Redshirt-sophomore Kasey O’Brien is the third member of the unit, joining UConn from TCU after not appearing in any games in two years with the Horned Frogs.

U
UConn women’s soccer concluded its inaugural season as a member of the American Athletic Conference with an 11-9 overall record and an 5-4 marker in conference play. The Huskies finished fourth in The American standings, hosting a home quarterfinal game against South Florida on Sunday, Nov. 3.
Fittingly for a season that featured the most Connecticut home games (13) since 1987, the Huskies opened their 2013 campaign against Wisconsin within the friendly confines of Joseph J. Morrone Stadium on August 23. The Badgers jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first half and added an insurance goal to start the second frame of play, but Samantha McGuire cut the deficit in half with UConn’s first goal of the season. The assist on McGuire’s goal went to freshman forward Rachel Hill, representing her first points as a Husky. UConn would go on to tie the game at two apiece when Riley Houle recorded her first goal of the season, but a late Wisconsin goal sank the Huskies, 3-2, in their season opener. UConn had to rebound quickly, as the squad hosted No. 2 Stanford just two days later. UConn played the Cardinal tough, falling in an eventual 1-0 loss. Rookie goalkeeper Emily Armstrong proved her mettle in the loss, posting five saves to keep the game close as the Huskies outshot Stanford 17-1 but could not find the back of the net.
Stephanie Ribeiro #18
Heading out on the first road trip of the season, the Huskies broke into the win column in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts with a 1-0 shutout win over Boston College on August 28. Rachel Hill scored her first collegiate goal in the second half to lead the triumph. Her tally would be the first of a team-leading total four game-winners for the young freshman. Following the victory over B.C., the Huskies rattled off a trio of shutout wins in a three game home stand from September 1-8 at Morrone Stadium. The Huskies overpowered Central Connecticut State University in a big 3-0 win that saw Hill and Houle record their second goals of the season. Freshman Faith McCarthy also posted her first collegiate point when she was credited with an assist on Hill’s goal. Dominant UConn defense helped the Huskies to a 1-0 win over Maine on September 6. The backline ceded just two shots on goal to the Black Bears in the 90 minute contest. Scoring for the third time in five games, Riley Houle notched an early game-winner to once again lead Connecticut UConn picked up its fourth consecutive victory in a close game against former Big East rival Syracuse on September 8. Rachel Hill tacked on her second game-winner of the season when she put home an unassisted goal at the 42:28 mark to lift the Huskies past the Orange. Emily Armstrong continued to impress in the cage for Connecticut, stopping three shots to earn her fourth career shutout. A trip back to Boston would not prove as fruitful for the Huskies, as Boston University snapped the Huskies’ four-game win streak in a 1-0 loss. Despite that the Huskies once again outshot their opponent, 10-8, five big saves from the Terriers’ keeper and an early B.U. goal within the opening minutes proved fatal. UConn wrapped up its non-conference schedule with three home contests before embarking on its first-ever foray in The American. Hill continued her hot streak with her ninth goal of the season in a 2-0 win over Dartmouth on September 15, but it was Stephanie Ribeiro who was just beginning to warm up for Connecticut. Her game-winner in a 1-0 victory against LaSalle in the waning minutes of the second extra frame sparked a 15-point outburst throughout the remainder of the season. A hard fought 2-1 loss at the hands of No. 10 Georgetown wrapped up UConn’s non-conference schedule on September 22. In the first-ever American Athletic Conference matchup, the Huskies took a 2-1 win over Southern Methodist University to open the inaugural conference season. Rachel Hill and Julie Hubbard added goals for the Huskies, as UConn peppered SMU with 28 shots to the Mustangs’ eight.

Next up Connecticut hosted Houston for the first-ever meeting between the two programs on September 29. Hill exploded for her first career hat trick in a 4-1 rout of the Cougars, with Riley Houle contributing a goal and two assists in her first four-point performance in Connecticut uniform. A two-game road set in Florida proved troublesome for the Huskies, as UConn fell to No. 24 Central Florida, 4-1, on October 4 before dropping a 3-2 double overtime heartbreaker at South Florida on October 6. In Orlando, the Knights took advantage of a UConn defensive breakdown to score three quick goals over a 2:12 span in the second half. The story in Tampa two days later played out differently, as Julie Hubbard opened the scoring just 2:38 into the contest. USF notched a pair of goals to push ahead 2-1, but Ribeiro delivered a header from eight yards out to knot the score at 2-2 to open the second half. The Bulls used a goal late in double overtime to take the win. Ribeiro bombarded the Bulls with a season-high eleven shots and Emily Armstrong made six stops in the setback. Even at 2-2 in conference play, UConn returned home to close out the regular season with a trio of conference matchups. The Huskies made quick work of Temple in a 3-1 win on October 11 before Stephanie Ribeiro supplied the heroics in a 1-0 overtime win over Cincinnati on October 17. A tough 3-2 senior day loss to Louisville sent UConn back out on the road with the opportunity to secure a home quarterfinal game in the conference tournament.
Emily Armstrong #1
Looking to return to Morrone Stadium for conference tournament play, the Huskies delivered with a 2-1 win at Rutgers that guaranteed a home playoff game. Gabrielle Charno recorded her lone goal of the season to net the game winner, while Hill once again contributed a goal in the win. From New Jersey the Huskies continued on to Tennessee to face Memphis in the regular season finale. After a Rachel Hill goal tied the contest at one apiece, Memphis poured on four goals in the second half for a 5-1 win over UConn. The first-ever American Athletic Conference Tournament witnessed fourth-seeded UConn host fifth-seeded South Florida in Storrs on the third day of November. USF wasted little time taking control of the contest, as the Bulls scored a pair of first half goals to take the 2-0 lead headed into the second stanza. Rachel Hill was able to cut the deficit in half when she scored just over ten minutes into the second half, but USF quickly responded with two goals as USF advanced past Connecticut, 4-1. The squad collected a number of postseason honors as four Huskies earned spots on All-Conference teams. Rachel Hill and Stephanie Ribeiro, who combined for 19 goals and nine assists (47 points), took home First Team All-Conference honors from The American. Senior defender Devin Prendergast earned a spot on the second team after a superb campaign in the UConn backfield. Hill also headlined the American All-Rookie team, which also featured fellow freshman Emily Armstrong. The quartet went on to earn All-New England recognition from the New England Women’s Intercollegiate Soccer Association. Prendergast, Armstrong and Hill all earned First Team choices while Ribeiro received a spot on the Second Team.

The 2013-14 school year marked a new chapter in UConn Athletics history, as the school officially joined the new American Athletic Conference after the former Big East Conference disbanded. Several familiar foes carried over from the Big East, with Cincinnati, Louisville, Rutgers and South Florida joining the league. UConn women’s soccer finished with a 5-4 record against conference opponents, facing such schools as the University of Houston, Southern Methodist University, and Temple University for the first time in program history. Of those three inaugural meetings, the Huskies went 2-1 on the season. Connecticut soccer finished fourth at the conclusion of the regular season and hosted a home quarterfinal game against the South Florida Bulls in the American Athletic Conference Tournament. Central Florida, the host institution for the semifinals and finals, swept both the men’s and women’s titles in the first-ever championship. Four Huskies were recognized as with postseason awards from The American, including a pair of first team nods to Rachel Hill and Stephanie Ribeiro. Senior Devin Prendergast took second team all-conference honors, while Hill and goalkeeper Emily Armstrong earned places on the All-Rookie squad. The 2014-15 school year will bring new foes to the mix for Connecticut. Louisville and Rutgers depart for the Atlantic Coast Conference and Big Ten, respectively. Eastern Carolina State, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa come aboard, all three of whom the Huskies have never faced previously.

Celebrating 30 Years of UConn Women’s Soccer During the weekend of September 12-14, 2008, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team celebrated its 30th anniversary as a varsity program. The celebration took place during the weekend of the 17th annual UConn Classic featuring three top-25 programs in the country as No. 1 UCLA, No. 11 Penn State, No.25 and Brown all competed. The weekend kicked off at the UConn vs. Virginia football game at Rentschler Field on Saturday, September 13. Prior to the game, over 80 alumnae and their families gathered at a pre-game tailgate to reunite with past teammates and to meet the 2008 team and current UConn staff and administrators. During halftime of the football game, all former UConn women soccer players in attendance were honored in front of a crowd of 40,000. Head Coach Len Tsantiris, a 1977 UConn graduate and coach of the Huskies for the past 28 years, was recognized with a 30th Anniversary poster that included pictures of every team in the history of the program. Also during the halftime ceremony, four standout former players were honored for their significant contributions to the program. Sara Whalen, Felice Duffy and Moira and Tara Buckley each received a commemorative bowl to honor their excellence in a Husky uniform. The weekend celebration continued on Sunday, September 14 as UConn hosted a brunch at the Nathan Hale Inn. The brunch included memorable speeches from former Director of Athletics Jeffrey Hathaway, Head Coach Len Tsantiris and three former Huskies. Melissa Morrone Taintor, Jill Gelfenbien Laufer and Meghan Schnur each recounted stories from their days as a Husky. The weekend culminated at the UConn vs. Penn State soccer game, with recognition of all alumni in attendance during halftime of the game. Overall, the weekend celebration was an amazing tribute to the women’s soccer program and was enjoyed by all.

UConn Retires Two Numbers In the 30-year history of the Connecticut women’s soccer program, Tara Buckley (right) was the first women’s soccer player to have her number retired. Tara Buckley’s number 5 jersey was retired after her stellar four-year career at UConn ended in 1983. Buckley, who played with sister Moira, has the distinction of being the only UConn women’s soccer fourtime All-America selection. Sara Whalen (left) is the only other Husky to have her jersey retired.
Sara Whalen • 1997 HONDA AWARD WINNER
• 1997 NSCAA NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR In 1997, University of Connecticut three-time women’s soccer All-American Sara Whalen was named the Women’s Soccer National Player of the Year by the Honda Awards Program and was selected as the 1997 National Soccer Coaches Association National Player of the Year. Whalen was one of 11 finalists for the Honda Cup Broderick Trophy awarded to the female collegiate Athlete of the Year. Whalen led the 1997 UConn women’s soccer team to a single-season school record 23 wins and a spot in the NCAA Division I National Championship game. Connecticut concluded the 1997 season with an overall record of 23-4. The National Player of the Year honor for Whalen, as awarded by Honda, marked the first time a UConn women’s soccer star had received the award.
Whalen, who hails from Greenlawn, N.Y., led Connecticut with 64 points (21 goals, 22 assists) on the year, second best in the nation. Her 22 assists also ranked second in the country for that category. Early in the 1997 season, Whalen made the transition from her more traditional post in the UConn defense (where she was selected a twotime First-Team All-American at back) to a new post in the UConn offense as a forward. The move paid dividends for Connecticut as Whalen had both goals in UConn’s 2-1 National Semifinal upset win over previously unbeaten Notre Dame, advancing UConn to the National Championship game. Connecticut fell to North Carolina 2-0 in the NCAA Championship game. In 1997, Whalen was tabbed First Team All-American as a forward, marking the third consecutive season she was a First-Team All-America selection. Among her accomplishments in 1997, Whalen was named Soccer America Magazine’s National Player of the Year, the Connecticut Sportswriters’ Alliance Female Athlete of the Year, a FirstTeam All-BIG EAST Selection, a First Team All-New England selection, Missouri Athletic Club National Player of the Year finalist, Hermann Award National Player of the Year finalist, Soccer Digest Magazine’s “Best collegiate soccer player in America” and USA Today’s “Most Versatile Player”.

The Huskies and the U.S. National Team Throughout the years, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer program has established itself as one of the premier programs in the country. In addition to the postseason appearances and perennial player accolades, several Huskies throughout the years have participated on the highest level of women’s soccer competition with the U.S. National Teams. These players have traveled internationally and across the United States where they have exhibited their skills and talents. Sara Whalen, a 1997 UConn graduate, helped the U.S. Women’s National Team to take home the 1999 World Cup Championship title and the Silver Medal in the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Former Husky three-time All-American forward Mary-Frances Monroe has also made several national team appearances. Most recently, midfielder Meghan Schnur played with the U-19 US Team that competed in the FIFA World Championship in 2004. Additionally, Kristen Graczyk was called in three times in 2005 to participate in the Under-21 National Team camp. During the summer of 2009, Brittany Taylor was called up to play for the National Team, while Elizabeth Eng participated on the youth National Squad. In 2014, current Husky Rachel Hill was selected to compete with the Yanks in the 2014 U-20 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

C o n CONNECTICUT n Trips Abroad UNIVERSITY UOF UCONN WOMEN’S SOCCER • 2014 MEDIA GUIDE
Foreign Tours
In August of 1992, Len Tsantiris added a new dimension to Connecticut women’s soccer by bringing the team on an international tour of Denmark. Since 1992, the program has had the privilege of traveling to different parts of the world three additional times. The NCAA rule limits a foreign tour to once every four years, which allows Coach Tsantiris to bring each class once. He believes that it is an integral part of the education that his players receive during their four years at UConn: “Not only can we prepare for the regular season and play against some of the best women’s teams in the world, but our players have the opportunity to learn about different cultures, see how the game is appreciated in other countries, and experience parts of the world that they may never see again.” The foreign tour typically commences two days into preseason and lasts between 10 and 14 days. Players report to UConn in early August, complete compliance certification and fitness testing before the trip and then return to campus several days before classes begin. The following is a summary of the past four trips that Coach Tsantiris and his teams have taken.
1992: DENMARK In 1992, Coach Tsantiris made history and ventured into his first international tour. The team played a challenging six-game schedule against top Division I and II clubs which included national team players from Denmark, Australia and Finland. The team finished the trip 3-1-2. Coach Tsantiris was very pleased with the outcome of the trip, “I was excited to expose the team to international soccer,” said Tsantiris. “We chose Denmark because the women’s club leagues there play some of the best women’s soccer in the world. They play a thinking kind of game.”
1996: DENMARK AND NORWAY The success and benefits of the program’s first trip to Denmark encouraged Coach Tsantiris and his team to return to the Scandinavian countries four years later. Accompanied by many friends and family of the women’s soccer team, the Huskies began their Scandinavian tour in Copenhagen, Denmark. Highlights of the trip included attendance at a professional game, a scenic ferry ride from Denmark to Norway that included sights of the Oslo Fjord, and sightseeing in Copenhagen and Oslo. On the field, the Huskies improved on their international record from 1992 and came away from the trip with a 4-1 record. The Huskies beat Vejle (4-1), the No. 2 ranked women’s soccer professional club team in Denmark’s first division, along with Mejrup (2-1) and FFI (3-1). The team’s only loss came to a very experienced and talented Fortuna squad, the #1 ranked club team in Europe at the time. Though the Huskies lost this game, they quickly identified areas that needed improvement for the regular season by gaining tremendous experience. Consequently, UConn challenged for a national championship the following year. In addition, a relationship between UConn and Fortuna extended into a return trip from Fortuna to Morrone Stadium on the UConn campus for an exhibition game on September 10, 1998.

2000: GREECE AND ITALY In 2000, Coach Tsantiris decided that it was time to take the team to his homeland. He is originally from a small island in Greece, but the team did not visit his island. They spent time in Athens, Leptokaria Pieria and Thessaloniki. During a two week tour of Greece and Italy, the Huskies played eight games, winning all eight and were crowned champions of the 3rd AEGEAN Olympus Cup. Coach Tsantiris valued the opportunity to go overseas and reflected on the importance of the trip shortly before leaving, “We are going to Greece and Italy to play games. We will play four in each country in order to gain competitive game experience that you can’t get from practicing. It will be very valuable. This experience will help us next year and the year after and will benefit all of our classes.” Sightseeing on this trip included Mt. Olympus, the ancient site of Dion, the ancient castle of Platamon, the Acropolis, and the Parthenon. After 7 days in Greece, the team traveled to Italy and spent time in Udine, Venice and Rome. With excellent food and amazing sites, the trip proved to be an invaluable experience for the team as they developed a more possession style of play and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinal, losing to the eventual National Champions. As coach Tsantiris foresaw, three years later the team played in the national championship game.
2004: BRAZIL The men’s Brazilian national team has seen dominance with the likes of Pele, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, and the women’s national team has emerged over the past seven years as a World Cup and Olympic contender. On the field, the Brazilians display technical superiority, creativity and a confidence in their abilities to which most players aspire. Believing that his players would learn from and pick up some of Brazil’s savvy play, Coach Tsantiris decided that a trip to South America would be a new and exciting opportunity for the program. A 12-day tour of Rio de Janeiro, Buzios and Teresopolis proved to be an amazing experience for the group. “Everyday we were doing something. A lot of good things came out of it and it was a very educational experience for everyone. The kids were able to experience a different culture and create camaraderie with one another. And at the same time, we were in the richest soccer country in the world. It gave us an opportunity to play against a totally different level of competition” said Tsantiris. The highlights of the trip included attendance at two professional games at Maracana Stadium, including a game in which former World Cup Champion Romario played. The team visited the Brazilian Soccer Hall of Fame within the Maracana, played beach soccer games against local players, visited the Corcovado and Christ the Redeemer tourist spots and practiced and played at the Brazilian National Training Center in Teresopolis.

THE
LONG ISLAND CONNECTION In his 34-year history with Connecticut women’s soccer, Len Tsantiris has had 16 natives of New York’s Long Island play for the Huskies. Not only have these 17 competed as members of the team, they have each had a major impact on the program. Twelve have earned postseason honors and six of the Long Island products have been named All-Americans. All-Americans hailing from Long Island include three-time All-American Sara Whalen and Mary-Frances Monroe, former assistant coach and 1991, 1992, and 1993 All-American Karen Ferguson, 1991 All-American Cathy Cambria, 1988 and 1990 All-American Beth Grecco, and 1987, 1988, and 1989 All-American Kim Prutting. The Huskies had their seventh different Long Island athlete named All-American in 2007 when Brittany Taylor earned the honor. The Long Island tradition continued in 2008 with the addition of Michelle Reynolds and Heather Kasper and again in 2010 and 2011 when Devin Prendergast and Gabrielle Charno joined the Huskies.

Huskies in the Community Balancing athletics with academics is undoubtedly one of the most time consuming and challenging experiences a student-athlete will ever encounter. Despite the rigorous demands associated with learning in the classroom and competing at the Division I level, the UConn women’s soccer team always finds time to give back to the community.
In the past, many members of the team have traveled to Mansfield Middle School to spend time in classrooms teaching children life lessons that are necessary to be successful both on and off the field. The student-athletes stressed the importance of teamwork and cooperation in the classroom, on the soccer field and in everyday life.

HUSKYSPORT HuskySport is a program that connects UConn students and student-athletes with North End Hartford youths through school-based, after school, and summer activities. HuskySport’s goal is to expose these youths to a variety of sports and physical activity in general. While involved in sport and physical activity, participants are also assisted in developing healthier lifestyles and forming positive relationships with current UConn graduate and undergraduate students, current UConn student-athletes, and former student-athletes, now graduate students, who serve as mentors.
In 2014, UConn women’s soccer partnered with the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation. The organization pairs children battling pediatric brain tumors with high school and college sports teams as a means of providing love, friendship and support throughout treatment. The squad held an official adoption ceremony in February, welcoming four-year-old Quinn Ostergren from nearby Tolland. Quinn received her very own UConn women’s soccer jersey and began lasting relationships with all of the players. She has been present at several of UConn’s spring training sessions and exhibition matches and will continue to be in attendance throughout the season. As Connecticut embarks on its 2014 campaign, Quinn will continue her quest to beat the disease with the Huskies’ support as she proceeds with chemotherapy sessions.
“She’s just like any other kid. She’s so full of life. Having her around makes you appreciate the little things that slip your mind everyday. Watching someone as little as her be so strong is amazing. She has so much love and support we couldn’t be any happier to have her as a part of the team.” - Sam McGuire ‘16
Quinn is interviewed by Huskies All-Access on her adoption day. To see the video of her adoption ceremony, log on to the UConn Huskies YouTube Channel.

Storrs Center: A New Downtown
Our Campus is Connecticut In addition to the main campus in Storrs, the University of Connecticut has a number of other campuses and schools around the state, which truly makes the state into the campus. The UConn Health Center and John Dempsey Hospital is located in Farmington, just west of Hartford. Today, Bioscience Connecticut, an $864 million initiative, is transforming the campus of the UConn Health Center. Bioscience Connecticut is a forwardthinking plan to create thousands of construction and related jobs in the short-term and generate long-term, sustainable economic growth based on bioscience research, innovation, entrepreneurship and commercialization. It is a multifaceted plan that also includes initiatives to improve access to healthcare services in the region and beyond. Renovations have begun in the original research tower and work is underway to build the new outpatient care center and the new hospital tower. In addition, groundbreaking ceremonies were held in January 2013 for the new $1.1 billion Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine, the first return on the state’s Bioscience Connecticut investment, which will be housed on the UConn Health Center campus.

Its campus, listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, is among the most beautiful of any law school in the United States. The newly-completed law library is perhaps the finest facility of its kind in the world. Two miles from the center of Hartford, the Law School is located in a neighborhood of large Victorian homes. UConn has long had an undergraduate campus in the Greater Hartford region and plans have been announced to relocate that campus to downtown Hartford in the former home of the The Hartford Times. That campus is expected to open in 2017. The UConn campus in downtown Stamford is surrounded by a cluster of corporate headquarters including a number of Fortune 500 companies, such as Pitney-Bowes and Charter Communications.

The program attracts visits by some of the country’s most preeminent writers including Roxana Robinson and the late Madeline L’Engle and Arthur Miller.
“If You Can Make It There, You’ll Make It Anywhere” The University of Connecticut does make it in New York City and has a strong foothold on the entire Metropolitan Region. When the Huskies are in town – the “city that never sleeps” certainly takes notice.
“A lot of people don’t understand what makes
New York tick. The two schools with the biggest impact in the New York market have been Syracuse and Connecticut.

Director of Athletics Warde Manuel
W
arde J. Manuel, who has had a distinguished career in intercollegiate athletics that ranges from being a student-athlete to a director of athletics, became the Director of Athletics at the University of Connecticut in March of 2012. Manuel, a 1990 graduate of the University of Michigan where he played both football and track and field, had most recently been the Director of Athletics at the University at Buffalo for six years. His first academic year of 2012-13 was a highly successful one for UConn teams, highlighted by the women’s basketball team winning the NCAA Championship. In addition, UConn teams from men’s soccer, field hockey, women’s lacrosse and baseball all took part in NCAA tournament play while the women’s diving and men’s and women’s track and field programs were all represented in NCAA individual championships. This success more than continued into the 2013-14 academic year as UConn won three national championships for the first time in school history – men’s basketball, women’s basketball and field hockey. In addition, the men’s soccer team advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals. UConn was just one of four schools nationally that finished in the top ten of the Capital One Cup on both the men’s and women’s side. Manuel directed UConn’s acceptance into membership of Hockey East, the nation’s premier men’s ice hockey conference, as the Huskies begin play in the league in 2014-15. Ground was broken for the UConn Basketball Champions Center in the spring of 2013 and the facility opened in the summer of 2014 to service both the Huskies’ men’s and women’s championship basketball teams. Manuel oversaw a coaching transition in men’s basketball with the retirement of Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun and the hiring of former Husky student-athlete, NBA player and UConn assistant coach Kevin Ollie. In December of 2013, Manuel hired former Notre Dame defensive coordinator Bob Diaco as UConn’s new football coach. During his tenure, Manuel also hired new head coaches for the UConn men’s and women’s ice hockey, volleyball, women’s track and field and softball program. The UConn Division of Athletics once again had an outstanding rate performance in the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) in 2014 as all three national championship teams posted a perfect 1000 single-year score while field hockey also had a perfect 1000 four-year score. A total of 14 UConn teams posted perfect single-year scores of 1000 and five had multi-year scores of 1000. The men’s basketball team has had APR scores of 978, 947 and 1000 in the past three years as Manuel has helped develop a comprehensive academic plan for all UConn programs. Manuel has already become a key leader in the American Athletic Conference and has been named a member of the league’s Finance Committee.
Manuel led a 20-sport program at Buffalo, an institution that is a member of the prestigious American Association of Universities. Buffalo enjoyed an unparalleled period of success during his time there from an athletic, academic and community service perspective. From an academic standpoint, teams at Buffalo enjoyed incredible success. When Manuel arrived at UB, there were four programs - football, men’s basketball, wrestling, and baseball - that fell far below the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) cut score of 925. With a focused academic plan, all four teams posted a four-year APR rate above the cut score and at the end of 200910, 10 of UB’s 20 sports had scores of 975 or above. Buffalo enjoyed great on-field success during Manuel’s time as the football team participated in the 2009 International Bowl and the men’s basketball team made postseason appearances in three of the past seven years. Olympic sports also thrived under Manuel’s leadership with accomplishments such as three-straight Dad Vail Regatta titles by the rowing team, six wrestlers earning spots at the 2011 NCAA Championship and the women’s tennis team making an appearance in the 2008 NCAA tournament. The sports of baseball and softball won a record number of games during his tenure and student-athletes earned All-American and all-conference honors at record rates. Manuel was honored by Sports Business Journal as a 2008 national 40-Under-40 honoree after receiving the same honor from Business First of Buffalo in Fall of 2007. Manuel has served on a number of national and conference committees and boards. In September of 2011, he was one of only three Athletic Directors asked to serve on the Collegiate Model Rules committee, a working group of the Division I Committee on Academic Performance, charged with broad overview of the current NCAA Rules Manual. He also currently serves on the NCAA Division I Championships/Sports Management Cabinet and served for four years as a member of the NCAA’s Academic Cabinet. During that time, he was selected as Chair of the NCAA Academic Eligibility & Compliance Transfer Ad Hoc Committee. He is a member of the Boards of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and the D1A Athletic Directors Association. He also serves as a member of the Council of Presidents Budget & Finance Committee and served for three years as the Chair of the Mid-American Conference Director of Athletics Finance Committee. In June of 2007, Manuel accepted the Opportunity Award by all-time tennis great Billie Jean King, as Buffalo was recognized by the Women’s Sports Foundation as one of four “standout” colleges and universities in the nation for outstanding achievement in providing equitable athletic opportunities for its female student-athletes. Prior to his time at Buffalo, he was the assistant and associate director of athletics for the University of Michigan, where he oversaw that school’s football and men’s basketball programs. In February 1998, he was named an assistant athletic director at Michigan with responsibilities for overseeing operational facets of the university’s athletic program. He was named an associate athletic director in September 2000. Born May 22, 1968, Manuel is a native of New Orleans, who was a high school All-American football player and played for the University of Michigan under its legendary coach, Bo Schembechler. Manuel earned multiple letters and started at defensive end in his sophomore year. His football career was cut short by a neck injury and he subsequently earned two letters on the Wolverines’ track and field team. After graduating from Michigan, Manuel was coordinator of the university’s Wade H. McCree, Jr., Incentive Scholars Program from June 1990 to August 1993. The program is a partnership with The President’s Council of State Universities and Detroit Public Schools that helps students prepare for higher education at public universities in Michigan. He subsequently worked briefly as an academic advisor with the Georgia Tech Athletic Association before being named assistant athletic director of academic affairs. In the course of working on a PhD in social work and psychology at Michigan, he earned a master’s degree in social work in 1993 and an MBA from Michigan’s Ross School of Business in April 2005. Manuel and his wife, Chrislan, have a daughter, Emma (19), who is in her junior year at UConn, and a son, Evan (15).

Close to Storrs In addition to all that the city of Hartford and the state of Connecticut has to offer, the region within two hours of Storrs is ripe with cultural and entertainment possibilities.
SPRINGFIELD (47 miles)
NEW YORK CITY (142 miles)
The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is located less than an hour from Storrs in Springfield, Mass., just minutes from the YMCA where Dr. James Naismith invented the game in 1891. A must-see for any fan of the hardwood, the Hall of Fame reopened in the fall of 2002 in a $45 million home just off of Interstate 91 in Springfield. The pinnacle of any basketball career, the hall’s long list of inductees now includes UConn men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun, a 2005 inductee, and women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma, a 2006 inductee. Once you finish your tour of the Hall of Fame, Springfield’s neighboring suburb of Agawam is the home of Six Flags New England, the region’s largest amusement park.
The largest city in the country and the “media capital of the world” is a UConn city. New York City is located approximately two hours from Storrs and when the Huskies are in town, they make their presence known. UConn took over Madison Square Garden in March 2014 when the Huskies won the NCAA East Regional on their way to the national championship. The Huskies make their football debut in the Big Apple this year when they play Army in November at the new Yankee Stadium. From the glimmer of Times Square, to the vast expanse of Central Park, to the majestic skyline, New York City can be easily reached by the Metro-North train lines that run into southern Connecticut. The metro New York area also boasts 10 major professional sports franchises.
BOSTON (86 miles) The birthplace of the American Revolution, Boston’s historic Freedom Trail is a living history textbook, covering everything from the Battle of Bunker Hill to the midnight ride of Paul Revere. Meanwhile, the city blends its old world charm with a cosmopolitan new world attitude that is evidenced by some of the trendier shops and restaurants that line both historic Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the Back Bay’s Newbury Street. One of the world’s foremost centers of education, Boston is home to over 50 colleges and universities; perhaps the entire world’s most concentrated collection of colleges. The greater Boston area also includes the summer beach resorts on Cape Cod and the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. A hub of sporting activity, the 2004, 2007 and 2013 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox have called fabled Fenway Park home since 1912. The 2008 NBA Champion Boston Celtics and the 2011 Stanley Cup Champions Boston Bruins also call Beantown home, while the 2002, 2004 and 2005 Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots and MLS’ New England Revolution play outside of the city in Foxboro’s Gillette Stadium.
PROVIDENCE (51 miles) Rhode Island’s capital city shows that one of the nation’s smallest states also has plenty to offer its visitors. The multi-cultural capital city, which dates back to 1636, is the Ocean State’s centerpiece. The best known hamlet on the Rhode Island shore, the ocean town of Newport is world famous for its mansions and is a popular vacation destination for those seeking aquatic activities. Newport’s renowned music festival is also a well-attended annual event.

UConn Athletics T
he University of Connecticut Division of Athletics enjoyed one of its finest years ever in 2013-14. UConn was just one of four schools nationally to finish in the top ten of the Capital One Cup standings on both the men’s and women’s side. UConn won NCAA national championships in three different sports for the first time in school history – men’s basketball, women’s basketball and field hockey. Far Left, Top to bottom: UConn won NCAA Division I Championships in men’s basketball, women’s basketball and field hockey in 2013-14 – marking the first time in school history that three national titles were won in the same year. Left, Top to Bottom: UConn athletes were featured on the cover of Sports Illustarted three times in the span of four months in 2014 with Shabazz Napier of men’s basketball, Breanna Stewart of women’s basketball and baseball’s George Springer, now a member of the Houston Astros.
Clockwise Starting from Top Right: The men’s track and field team won the first-ever American Athletic Conference indoor championship. Goalkeeper Andre Blake earned All-America honors and led the UConn men’s soccer team to the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament in 2013. Celina Emerson was among the members of the women’s track and field team that earned All-America honors . UConn men’s ice hockey begins a new era in 2014-15 as members of Hockey East, the nation’s top college conference.

J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum
T
he sights and sounds of more than a century of intercollegiate athletics competition come alive during a visit to the J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum. Located in the UConn Alumni Center in the heart of the University of Connecticut’s main campus in Storrs, the Husky Heritage Sports Museum is the ultimate library documenting the wide-ranging successes of Connecticut’s athletic programs. The state-of-the-art design and layout of the 2,700 square foot Husky Heritage Sports Museum, named after benefactor and 1940 Connecticut basketball and football captain J. Robert (Bob) Donnelly (shown above with wife M.J.), vividly captures all of the energy, excitement and enthusiasm that is associated with “Huskymania”. Donnelly passed away on Sept. 26, 2005. The visitors’ UConn experience begins with the University of Connecticut “National Champions” Gallery. This unique museum addition, located in the entrance foyer of the Husky Heritage Sports Museum, was unveiled in December of 2004 and will serve as a permanent tribute to all University of Connecticut varsity teams that climbed to the mountaintop and earned the right to be called National Champions. Currently, a total of 17 national champion squads, representing four different UConn sports, have team photos and national championship logos on display in the National Champions gallery. Included in the National Champions Gallery is the unbeaten 1948 men’s soccer team of Coach John Squires, the 1981 and 1985 UConn women’s field hockey teams of Coach Diane Wright, the 2013 field hockey team of Coach Nancy Stevens, the 1981 men’s soccer team of Coach Joe Morrone, the 2000 men’s soccer team of Coach Ray Reid, the eight national championship women’s basketball teams of Coach Geno Auriemma (1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014), the 1999, 2004 and 2011 UConn men’s basketball teams of Coach Jim Calhoun, and the 2014 UConn men’s basketball team of Coach Kevin Ollie. Upon entering the Husky Heritage Sports Museum, visitors are greeted by a full figure statue of Jonathan, the legendary mascot of all Husky athletic teams. Oversized banners proudly hang from the ceiling, displaying action images that feature 88 of Connecticut’s All-American stars representing 17 different intercollegiate sports. A tour of the various sections of the Husky Heritage Sports Museum is a walk down memory lane for long-time followers of Connecticut athletics. For fans just becoming acquainted with UConn’s tradition of excellence, the various themes and areas of the museum, when woven together, narrate a complete and compelling sport-by-sport story line. The growth and development of Connecticut athletics is traced via text, photographs and select artifacts from its humble beginnings in the 1890s to its present day ranking among the elite major college athletic programs in the nation. Included among the “must see” memorabilia in the Husky Heritage Sports Museum main concourse are the 1981 and 2000 NCAA National Championship Men’s Soccer trophies; the 1981 and 1985 NCAA National Championship
Women’s Field Hockey trophies; the 1950s era baseball gloves belonging to Connecticut’s three Dropo brothers-including Walt Dropo’s first baseman’s mitt when he was the American League Rookie of the Year with the Boston Red Sox in 1950; the 1935 Ramnapping Trophy, awarded annually to the winner of the Connecticut-Rhode Island football game; a 1931 football signed by the entire Connecticut squad; team photos of Connecticut’s first men’s (1901) and women’s (1902) basketball squads; and the Waterford Crystal NCAA National Championship trophies won by UConn Women’s Basketball (1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014) and UConn Men’s Basketball (1999, 2004, 2011, 2014). The pinnacle achievement of UConn’s 13 NCAA National Championships in both men’s and women’s basketball is preserved and promoted in a unique circular sanctuary–the Connecticut Basketball Rotunda, a gift of Herb and Marcia Dunn. Championship trophies and related artifacts that chronicle UConn’s men’s and women’s national titles are prominently featured in the rotunda, as are life-size cutouts of Husky All-American stars Ray Allen and Rebecca Lobo. Celebratory paintings of head coaches Jim Calhoun and Geno Auriemma are on display along with a one-of-a-kind watercolor team photo of the 25-member UConn Men’s Basketball All-Century team. Also within the Husky Heritage Sports Museum experience is a video wall featuring a 65-inch high definition television. Visitors can view numerous historical moments in UConn history as captured on a variety of highlight films and documentaries. Each display case of memorabilia and every historical photograph located within the walls of the J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum describe a portion of a truly remarkable story. That story of the teams, the coaches, and student-athletes who have been part of the rich history that constitutes the University of Connecticut athletic experience is now being told on a daily basis at UConn’s Husky Heritage Sports Museum. In addition, there is a display on the history of football at UConn – from its starts in 1897, to its time in Division I-AA and now as a team that has played in a Bowl Championship Series game. The J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum is open free of charge to the general public during regular business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) of the UConn Alumni Center. Since the Husky Heritage Sports Museum opened in January of 2002, several important artifacts have been donated from UConn loyalists to help expand the scope of the Connecticut Athletics storyline. The University of Connecticut Division of Athletics continues to seek additional memorabilia/artifacts to help expand the story of the UConn Huskies. Anyone wishing to donate specific Connecticut Athletics items to the J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum should contact: Tim Tolokan, Phone: (860) 486-1500, e-mail: tim.tolokan@uconn.edu.
