22 BIG EAST Championships

UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT 2010 Season Preview

Expectations are as high as ever for the 2010

University of Connecticut field hockey team.

The 2009 season saw the team post a 19-3 overall record and win its 11th BIG EAST Tournament title on its way to the NCAA Tournament for the 21st time in program history. Winning championships will once again be the focal point of this squad as UConn returns nine starters, including six of its top seven scorers off last year’s team. The Huskies will miss the presence of First Team All-American and Mideast Region Player of the Year Loren Sherer, who managed to put together one of the most dominant seasons of all-time in her one year in Storrs. Sherer established new single-season records for goals (32) and points (82) en route to being named BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year. Sherer had played the previous three years at Durham University in England and had only one year of eligibility at UConn. Needless to say, she made it count. However, Connecticut will not be without its share of weapons. Six Huskies on the 2010 roster had some kind of experience with US Field Hockey over the summer. Melissa Gonzalez was selected to the 2010-11 USA Women’s National Team, while Ali Blankmeyer, Jestine Angelini, Cara Silverman, Rayell Heistand and newcomer MarieElena Bolles were each chosen to participate in the Junior National Camp. “Although we return six of the top seven scorers from last year’s team, we did graduate the nation’s top scorer, Loren Sherer,” head coach Nancy Stevens said. “We will have to work very hard to replace those 32 goals. However, a good number of our players are ready to do just that. They have spent the summer playing

Two National Championships

hockey at the next level. That being said, our expectations are the same each year. Our goal is to win the BIG EAST Regular Season, the BIG EAST Tournament Championship and advance in the NCAA Tournament.” Gonzalez, who was honored as a First Team All-American along with being named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year in 2009, spent most of the summer helping Team USA to a 4-1 record in test matches against England and Spain. Gonzalez will then compete with Team USA in the Pan American Games in Mexico, with the winner of that tournament qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Games in London. In addition to being the top defender in the BIG EAST, Gonzalez scored six goals and dished-out a pair of assists to finish 14 points in 2009. Two of her scores were of the game-winning variety, which was tied for the fourth-highest total on the team. She will be once again counted on to be a stopper on defense while still posing a legitimate threat offensively. In addition to being invited to the Junior National Camp, Blankmeyer helped lead Team USA to the bronze medal at the Women’s Indoor Pan American Championship in Venezuela. Blankmeyer was the starting right back for Team USA and should use that experience to propel her to yet another standout season. In 2009, Blankmeyer scored 11 goals and added four assists to finish fourth on the team with 26 points. Three of those 11 scores were game-winners, which was tied for the second-highest total on the team. Heistand was one of last year’s most valuable defenders as she was part of a backline that allowed only 1.06 goals per game. Heistand,

an All-BIG EAST First Team selection in 2009, will anchor a Husky defense with Gonzalez that should be a big strength yet again this year. “Clearly, our players made a significant commitment to improving this summer,” Stevens said. “They devoted countless hours to U.S. High Performance Training and were then selected to play at the Women’s National Championship. Rayell was named to the U.S. Under-21 Team again this summer. Both Ali and Melissa return to us with extensive international playing experience from their summer competitive opportunities.

will see playing time in goal, as well. Ali has had a terrific preseason and brings a great deal of experience to the GK position as a fifth-year senior.”

the highlights will be playing the 2009 National Champions, North Carolina. Competing against the best will prepare our team for the BIG EAST Tournament in November.”

As is the case year in and year out, the Huskies will play one of the most challenging schedules in the country this season. UConn will play six games against teams that advanced to the 2009 NCAA Tournament and will play eight contests against teams that finished last year ranked in the top-20. Additionally, six more teams on the Huskies’ 2010 schedule were receiving votes in the final 2009 Kookaburra/NFHCA Division I National Coaches Poll.

The Huskies also look forward to the addition of yet another talented crop of freshmen.

The regular season is highlighted by a trip to Chestnut Hill, Mass. on October 10 to take on defending national champion North Carolina. The showdown at Syracuse on October 23 figures to be a pivotal game in the BIG EAST standings as it will be the second-to-last league contest for both squads. The Huskies have won 11 BIG EAST Regular Season titles in their storied history. Silverman was the second-leading scorer on the team last season and was honored as an All-BIG EAST Second Team selection. She finished the season with 14 goals and three assists for 31 points and will be looked to as a premiere scorer in the conference this year.”

“We are excited about the challenges that our playing schedule will provide, Stevens said. “Our primary focus will be on the BIG EAST Conference games, as they pave the road to the NCAA Tournament. Our non-conference schedule provides a stiff test each week. One of

“In addition to Sarah, two additional freshman will make an immediate impact, Stevens said. “Anne Jeute arrived on campus after competing for Germany in the Junior European Championship. Anne is highly skilled and will provide us with a scoring threat in the red zone. MarieElena Bolles was invited to Junior National Camp in July and will give our offense a breakaway threat in each game. Once she gets a step on the defender, she is impossible to catch. MarieElena brings track speed to our team, as her 4x400 relay team won the Scholastic Division at the 2010 Penn Relays. Lindsay Kissinger will see playing time as a freshman, as well. She is highly skilled, fast and a great competitor.” UConn will look to defend its 2009 BIG EAST Tournament crown on November 6-7 at the George J. Sherman Family Sports Complex in Storrs. The Huskies have taken home the championship hardware from that event 11 times.

Jestine Angelini was third on last year’s squad with 11 goals and 29 points in her first year at UConn after transferring from Old Dominion. The Huskies will look for her to serve as yet another option in their deep offensive attack. Allison Angulo stepped in and flourished during her first year of competition, tying for the team lead with 18 assists. She should have just as many weapons at her disposal this year as she did last season and the Huskies will look for her to be a goal-scoring threat as well as Angulo scored a pair of goals on only five shots last year. Kim Kryzk and Angulo are cut out of the same mold. Both excel at setting up their teammates as Kryzk dished-out 17 helpers in 2009 to go along with a pair of defensive saves. With Angulo and Kryzk setting the table, the Husky attack should be in good shape. The Huskies lost goalkeeper Andrea Mainiero to graduation but have a few options to replace her. Allison Karpiak was the only other keeper who got experience in 2009 as the junior saw over 50-minutes of action in 2009 and did not allow a goal. Redshirt freshman Sydney Kolysher and true freshman Sarah Mansfield will also compete for time in net. “Our starting Goalkeeper will be Sarah Mansfield, who played for England’s Under 21 National Team,” Stevens said. “She is a superb goalkeeper with an outstanding skill set. She has a calm demeanor under pressure and directs the defense exceptionally well. Ali Karpiak

1981 REFLECTION - The birth of a national postseason competition for women’s athletics came from the passing of Title IX in 1972 and as 277 Division I institutions sponsored women’s sports entered the NCAA in 1981. It would be in that same year when, out of 95 participating Division I field hockey schools, the University of Connecticut would be selected to host the first-ever NCAA Division I Field Hockey Championship at Memorial Stadium on November 21 & 22, 1981 in Storrs, Connecticut. During that historical year in women’s college sports, under new national governance, seventh-year head coach Diane Wright would guide her Connecticut team to a 15-2-3 overall record and a berth in the home-hosted contest. The underdog UConn upset top-seeded and top-ranked Massachusetts, 4-1, in the championship final to seal the title for the Huskies. They became the first-ever NCAA Champion in the sport, the school’s first-ever NCAA National Championship team (men’s or women’s) and the first-ever college women’s team to be crowned as NCAA Division I Champions. UConn standouts Laurie Decker, Lynn Kotler, Lorie McCollum and Rose Smith were named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team, while Decker and McCollum became Connecticut field hockey’s first All-American selections. Since the 1981 National Championship season, Connecticut has qualified for 21 of the 29 national postseason tournaments held, with nine appearances in the NCAA National Semifinals. A 1985 National Championship would be added to the program’s growing list of accomplishments and that group will be honored in a ceremony this fall.

George J. Sherman Family Sports Complex The Home of UConn Field Hockey

Improvements made during the summer of 2008 at the George J. Sherman Family Sports Complex included a new Astroturf 12 field and watering system, which gives the Huskies the added advantage of having one of the best facilities in the nation. The facility now includes six water cannons, which will be utilized before each practice and game to create an optimal playing surface. The complex boasts seating for over 2,000 spectators and features a state-of-the-art lighting system, allowing the team to play night games. The George J. Sherman Family Sports Complex served as the host site of the 2008 BIG EAST Conference Tournament and will do so again in 2010.

UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT Head Coach Nancy Stevens

NANCY STEVENS Head Coach 21st Season at UConn University of Connecticut field hockey coach Nancy Stevens and the word success are synonymous. Entering her 21st season at Connecticut and her 32nd overall as a head coach, Stevens has firmly secured the tradition of UConn field hockey among the nation’s best. Recognized as one of the top collegiate field hockey coaches in the nation, she has compiled an impressive 500-159-24 record for a .750 winning percentage over her previous 31 seasons. Overall, she ranks second among active Division I coaches in overall wins (500) and ranks first in games coached (683) - entering 2010. Stevens has guided the Huskies to the NCAA Tournament in 13 of the last 14 seasons overall and during that span, Connecticut has earned nine NCAA quarterfinal berths and advanced to the NCAA National Semifinals four times. The Huskies are currently enjoying a streak of eight straight NCAA berths, dating back to 2002. Stevens became the second coach all-time to win 500 games when the Huskies defeated No. 5 Syracuse, 2-1, to win their fifth BIG EAST Tournament Championship in the last six years. Stevens is one of a select group of U.S. collegiate coaches to attend an International Hockey Federation (FIH) High Performance Coaching Course. The 25 coaches in attendance included top European club coaches as well as coaches preparing their teams for the Olympic Games. From this course, she received a further recommendation to attend an FIH Final Coaching Development Course. Stevens has taken two Division I programs to a No. 1 ranking (Connecticut in 1999 and Northwestern in 1985). Her record at UConn over 20 years stands at 320-110-8 (.740). Under Stevens, the Huskies have qualified for the BIG EAST Tournament in 19 of her 20 seasons, with a league record 11 different squads (2009, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2002, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1996 and 1992) winning the conference tournament title. UConn is regularly one of the nation’s leaders in both offense and defense and last season was no exception as the Huskies ranked fifth nationally in scoring offense (3.71 gpg) and seventh in scoring defense (1.06 gaa). The 2009 team was the 14th UConn squad under Stevens that earned a berth to the NCAA Division I Championship, as her 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996 and 1990 teams qualified as well. The 2007 campaign marked UConn’s second straight berth in the NCAA National Semifinals and the program’s fourth overall under Stevens. Since beginning BIG EAST play in 1989, the UConn field hockey team has captured 11 of the 21 BIG EAST Tournament titles, including three in a row from 1998-2000 and four straight from 2004-07. The Huskies have advanced to the conference championship game 16 times.

Paul Caddy is in his 10th season on the UConn staff and is entering his fourth as the associate head coach. His primary focuses are defense and player and team development, including technical and tactical advancements.

Entering her 10th season with the UConn field hockey coaching staff, Cheri Herr works primarily with the goaltenders.

“Paul has been a tremendous addition to our coaching staff,” UConn head coach Nancy Stevens said. “He spends countless hours with our players to help them develop their individual technique. Paul’s tactical creativity adds a great deal to our team-style of play. His coaching expertise has resulted in our defensive unit ranking among the nation’s best on a consistent basis.”

During the 2004 season, Herr’s expertise proved to be a key factor at UConn. The team allowed just 0.57 goals per game to its opponents, which ranked first nationally and helped earn goalkeeper, Melissa Bostwick, second-team All-America honors. The Huskies have consistenty ranked among the nation’s leaders in fewest goals allowed during her tenure.

Caddy is also a United States Field Hockey Association high performance coach and has assisted the United States U-16 National Team and was a member of the New England High Performance coaching staff that captured the 2008 National Championship. He is considered one of the top rated associate/assistant coaches in the nation and recently earned his U.S. Level III coaching certification, which is the top certification level nationally.

Caddy has competed in the North American Premier Indoor Hockey League where he helped guide his squad to back-to-back championships in 2003 and 2004. In 2008, Caddy served as a member of the Junior National Camp coaching staff. Always doing what he can to spread the sport, Caddy conducts U.S. Level 1 coaching courses across New England. Prior to Connecticut, Caddy was an assistant field hockey coach at Ohio State and was an assistant field hockey coach and team manager for the United States Under-18 Women’s Team. Prior to his experience at Ohio State, Caddy was an assistant coach at Quinnipiac University for the 1999 season when Quinnipiac captured the Northeast Conference Championship. Caddy is a 1999 graduate of the University of Wales, Swansea, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in American studies. In 2004, Caddy earned his Masters in science from Quinnipiac University. Caddy was a four-year field hockey sportsman, during which time Swansea was crowned champions of Wales in 1995-1996 and 1996-1997. In Caddy’s senior season, Swansea earned silver medallist honors at the European Club Championships in Hungary, Caddy received All-Wales First Team honors, as he had previously earned during his junior campaign.

“Cheri brings a wealth of goalkeeping experience to our program,” UConn head coach Nancy Stevens said. “She has developed two All-America goalkeepers during her five years on the coaching staff. Cheri is a tireless worker who always puts the needs of the team first. We are very fortunate to have her in our program.” Herr came to UConn from Providence College, where she served as an assistant coach for two years under head coach Bill Davidson. The Friars made the BIG EAST Field Hockey Tournament, eventually losing to UConn in the championship game in 2000.

During her career, Syracuse went a combined 54-23-6, won two BIG EAST Championships and made two NCAA appearances under the direction of head coach Kathleen Parker. Herr, a member of the BIG EAST All-Conference Team in 1993 and 1995 and an All-America selection in 1995, is Syracuse’s current record holder for career saves, save percentage, goals against average, single game saves and shutouts at Syracuse.

What Former Letterwinners Are Saying

“During the recruiting process, we work hard to identify players who have a passion for the game. Our role as coaches is to create a supportive environment and give our players the freedom to reach their full potential. We encourage unselfish play. When you give up the ball to a teammate, you will always get it back. Putting the team first is the surest path to a championship.” - Nancy Stevens, Head Coach “Every field hockey player will comment on how fulfilling and rewarding of an experience it was to play for their particular college. They will say how the lessons learned, the friends made, and the memories shared will stay with them forever. The same is true at UConn, but what separates UConn from other programs is the staff, who somehow manage a fun and nurturing, yet get-down-to-business attitude. Nancy Stevens’ unrelenting competitive edge inspired me to believe that my hard work will accomplish amazing feats both on and off the field. “ Two-Time All-American Katie Stephens (‘01)

“Walking out to the game field wearing the UConn colors is only one of the proud memories I have of being a Husky. In high school, this was what I dreamed about, taking my play to the next level and becoming a part of a union where everyone has the same dream- to become a champion. Not only did we become champions, but we survived the ups and downs of working our hardest and making sacrifices together. Playing for Nancy Stevens and for UConn taught me many lessons in leadership, friendship, trust and dedication.”

“Looking back upon my career at UConn brings a smile to my face and warmth to my heart. They were the most memorable years of my life, where I learned the most important lessons of life, including the value of friendship and family. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunities I had at UConn, both on and off the playing field. I will never forget how proud I was to put on a Husky uniform and represent the University of Connecticut. We valued not only our performance, but our relationships as well.” Three-Time All-American Laura Klein (‘01)

“Playing field hockey for UConn is an experience I will always treasure. Of course the memories and friendships will stay with me forever and so will the lessons learned from all the dedication and hard work. But what stands out the most in my mind as I look back on the past four years is that playing field hockey at UConn was fun. Practice was the time of day I looked forward to and putting on that Husky uniform for game time was a true honor. It is a tribute to Nancy Stevens and her staff and also to my teammates that we were able to play in an elite program and at such a high level while still being able to enjoy the moment. I will always be thankful for that.” All-American Meagan Hoffmann (‘06)

“Playing field hockey for one of the top athletic and academic institutions in the nation is something I will always be grateful for. It was one big adrenaline rush. All of the hard work and determination that my coaching staff and teammates possessed showed through until our very last moment together on the field. Thinking back about all of the old memories- the success and the adversity- I would not change a thing.” Two-Time All-American Rose Aspelin (‘96)

“Reflecting back on my time at Connecticut makes me realize how special those four years really were. Through field hockey, I have gained so many precious memories and experiences that I will forever carry in my heart and mind. Many people that I have met there are now my closest friends and an extended part of my family. My years as a collegiate athlete are exactly as I dreamed they would be and I wouldn’t give them up for the world.” Three-Time All-American Amy Herz (‘01)

ain Street is the heart and the soul of a community, a place to meet friends for dinner before the game, to run daily errands, to enjoy the local music scene, or to buy a newspaper to read while sipping your morning coffee. Main Street is the magic that can transform a street into a neighborhood, buildings into a village, or a small town into a regional destination. In 2001, the Town of Mansfield teamed with UConn to form the Mansfield Downtown Partnership and set about creating its own â&#x20AC;&#x153;Main Streetâ&#x20AC;? area, Storrs Center. Storrs Center will be a mixeduse town center and main street corridor at the crossroads of the Town and the University. Located along Storrs Road/Route 195 adjacent to the University, the Town Hall, E.O. Smith High School, and the Mansfield Community Center, Storrs Center will include a town square, pedestrian-oriented streets, small lanes, and public spaces. There will be a variety of shops, restaurants, cafĂŠs, and residential options, which will attract all ages and interests and provide spaces for the community to gather. The Mansfield Downtown Partnership and master developer LeylandAlliance have worked diligently to make the vision of Storrs Center a reality. Some of their recent progress includes the signing of letters of intent from several local, regional, and national businesses; the preparation of final construction documents for improvements to Storrs Road and Dog Lane; and initiation of the selection of a designer for the parking garage and intermodal center. As progress continues, excitement about the project has steadily grown. The Partnership has garnered support from a variety

of Mansfield residents, as evidenced by its 340 members. Another sign of the broad support this project enjoys is the over $22.5 million in state and federal funding the Storrs Center project has received. Mansfield residents, local, state, and regional officials, and proponents of sustainable development, such as 1,000 Friends of Connecticut and CT Main Street Center, all recognize the value the new downtown will bring to the town, region, and state. With major approvals in hand, businesses signed on, and a significant amount of grant monies received, the Partnership and LeylandAlliance are continuing to prepare for the beginning of construction. Negotiations between LeylandAlliance and prospective tenants are on-going. In addition to leasing agreements, other pre-requisites to construction include parking commitments for the first phase and financing commitments, both private and public.

Jeffrey Hathaway J

effrey A. Hathaway has provided effective leadership for the University of Connecticut Division of Athletics as he enters his eighth year in that position. At the same time, he has also become a leader for college athletics on both the national and conference level. He has played a vital role in the success story of UConn athletics for 19 of the past 21 years as he was the Executive Associate Director of Athletics at the school from 1990-2001.In his only two years away from the Storrs campus, Hathaway enjoyed a successful tenure as the Director of Athletics at Colorado State University from 2001-03. His first seven years as UConn’s Director of Athletics have arguably been the most successful in school history. The 2009-10 academic year was another successful campaign. The football team played in its third-straight bowl game and won its second consecutive while the women’s basketball team won the national championship with a perfect record for the second-straight year. In addition, the men’s soccer, women’s soccer, field hockey, men’s basketball and baseball teams all qualified for postseason tournament play. UConn was also selected as one of 16 regional hosts for the NCAA baseball tournament. The women’s ice hockey team also spent most of the year ranked in the top 10 of the country. Hathaway also directed UConn to reach an agreement with IMG College, a division of IMG Worldwide, during the 2009-10 academic year. This 10-year athletics multi-media rights partnership is worth more than $80 million in guaranteed payments to the University. In 2007-08, UConn successfully completed the NCAA certification process. The institution was previously certified, once every 10 years as set forth by the NCAA, in 1998. Hathaway provided leadership for a comprehensive, year-long self study of the operations in the Division of Athletics, a site visit by a peer review team, a NCAA certification committee’s review of the self-study and a report by the peer review team. The Division also reached new long-term agreements with two of its media partners in recent years – Connecticut Public Television for women’s basketball and WTIC radio for football and men’s and women’s basketball. UConn also completed a landmark ten-year, $46

million corporate partnership agreement with Nike, Inc. to exclusively provide footwear, apparel and equipment for Husky athletics. In addition to his leadership role at UConn, Hathaway is entering his fourth-year of a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee representing the BIG EAST Conference. As a member of the ten-person committee, Hathaway takes part in the selection and administration of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship and the administration of the CBS television contract. Hathaway will serve as chairman of that committee in 2011-12. He is only the fourth individual in the history of the BIG EAST Conference to serve on the committee, joining Dave Gavitt, Jake Crouthamel and Mike Tranghese. Hathaway is a member of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association Board of Trustees and on the Executive Committee of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Some significantly historic achievements have occurred during Hathaway’s time as Director of Athletics. UConn became the first school to win the NCAA Division I men’s and women’s basketball championships in the same year (2004) and the football team was victorious in its first ever bowl game - the 2004 Motor City Bowl. Private fundraising for UConn athletics continues to provide exceptional academic and athletic opportunities for student-athletes. UConn secured a gift of $2.5 million from alumnus Mark Shenkman in 2004 for the building of the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center, an intercollegiate and recreational services facility that serves the entire university community. Under Hathaway’s guidance, the Division of Athletics received the University’s Environmental Leadership Award for the construction of The Burton Family Football Complex and the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center. The two buildings are the University’s first projects certified as meeting the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards for “green” buildings. At its 13th annual awards ceremony in March of 2008, the Connecticut Real Estate Exchange presented UConn with the “Green Building Award” for these environmentally-friendly facilities. In his role as Director, Hathaway also oversees UConn’s Recreational

Serving the entire University community, approximately 580,000 individual uses were logged last year, reflecting the popularity of the diverse health and fitness offerings to students, faculty and staff. Hathaway leads a head coaching staff that is one of the most experienced in the country. UConn has 13 head coaches that have been in their current position 10 or more years as of the 2010-11 academic year, including women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma (26th year in 2010-11), men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun (25th) and football coach Randy Edsall (12th). The University recently completed a long term contract extension with Calhoun. UConn has the distinction of being the only school in the nation with two active Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame coaches in Calhoun (Class of 2005 inductee) and Auriemma (Class of 2006 inductee). Hathaway was also a key factor in the opening of Rentschler Field in 2003 – the country’s newest and most modern BCS college football facility. During Hathaway’s career, he has always made the student-athlete the top priority. In the spring and fall semesters of the 2009 calendar year, UConn’s student-athletes excelled in the classroom as nearly 50% of the 650 studentathletes achieved a 3.0 “B-or better” semester grade point average. In addition, the Division of Athletics has consistently maintained a 99 percent retention rate among its student-athletes. “My focus is on the student-athlete,” says Hathaway. “That’s the most important part of our program. Our primary mission is the continued academic success of our student-athletes. The challenge is to identify people early in the process and assist them in charting a career path. In addition, we want to provide a quality experience in intercollegiate athletics for our student-athletes.” The University of Connecticut was saluted for its community service efforts by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS) three times under Hathaway’s watch for its community service efforts. UConn was also honored by the NCAS in 2006 and ’07 for its efforts to assist former student-athletes in earning their college degree. In the 2006-07 academic year, Hathaway served on the University search committee to hire Vice President/Chief Operating Officer Barry Feldman and Executive Director of the Alumni Association Lisa Lewis. He is currently a member of the search committee for the University’s new president. Hathaway’s leadership has earned him respect and recognition both on the national and local levels. He was one of four finalists for the “Athletic Director of the Year” in the spring of 2008 at the inaugural Sports Business Awards by Street and Smith’s Sports Business Journal. In the summers of 2007 and ‘10, Hathaway was honored by NACDA as the AstroTurf Athletic Director of the Year for Division I-A in the Northeast region (which includes the New England states and New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Jersey). In 2004, The Sporting News named Hathaway to its “Power 100 List” comprised of the 100 most powerful people in sports. He received the Joseph J. Fontana Distinguished Service Award from the Connecticut High School Coaches Association in the spring of 2005. In the winter of 2006, Hathaway received the General Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award from the All-American Football Foundation. During his tenure at both Colorado State and UConn, he was a member of the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet, as well as the Postseason Football Licensing Subcommittee, which is responsible for

issues involving postseason football competition and the certification of bowl games. On the conference level, Hathaway was the chair of the BIG EAST Athletic Directors Executive Committee through November of 2009. He is also past chairman of the BIG EAST Championship and Competition Committee as well as the league’s Finance Committee. Hathaway has served as a guest presenter at both the NACDA and NACMA (National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators) conventions in the past. In addition, he has also served as a lecturer at the IA Institute sponsored by the Division I-A Athletic Directors’ Association, held annually in Dallas. Hathaway originally came to Connecticut in November of 1990 as Senior Associate Athletic Director. In that role, he oversaw the day-to-day operations of the Division of Athletics. He served internally as a program administrator for several sports, including men’s and women’s basketball and men’s and women’s soccer at UConn as the Huskies won four national championships in those sports during his tenure - two in women’s basketball (1995 and 2000) and one each in men’s basketball (1999) and men’s soccer (2000). Hathaway was also the program administrator for football. He played a critical role in the upgrade of the football program to Division I-A status as UConn became the first ever school to transition from the I-AA level to a BCS football conference. During Hathaway’s tenure at Colorado State, he oversaw a 15-sport program - nine women’s teams and six men’s. The Ram football team made a pair of bowl appearances while Hathaway was at CSU. The men’s basketball team won the Mountain West Conference tournament in March of ‘03 and advanced to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 13 years. The women’s basketball team advanced to postseason play twice, including a trip to the second round of the NCAA tournament in 2002 and the semifinals of the 2003 Women’s NIT. Hathaway was an extremely successful fundraiser during his time in Fort Collins. The school drew national attention for a $15.2 million gift from the Bohemian Foundation and president Pat Stryker for football stadium renovations and expansion. Prior to his first stint at UConn, Hathaway served in a number of capacities at his alma mater - the University of Maryland - from 1982-90, including Assistant Athletics Director for Marketing and Promotions, Acting Assistant Athletics Director for Business Affairs, Athletics Business Manager and men’s basketball trainer. Hathaway earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Administration from the University of Maryland in 1981. He later received a Master’s Degree in General Administration (1991) from the University of Maryland and is currently continuing work on a PhD in Educational Leadership from the University of Connecticut. He attended The Sports Management Institute at the Universities of Notre Dame and Southern California. Hathaway also completed the Management Development Program at Harvard University. Born June 20, 1959, in Cheverly, Md., Hathaway and his wife Paula have two children: Meghan (October 15, 1991) and Michael (June 11, 1995).

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 new and expanded 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 13 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 1981 men’s soccer team of Coach Joe Morrone, the 2000 men’s soccer team of Coach Ray Reid, the six national championship women’s basketball teams of Coach Geno Auriemma (1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009), and the 1999 and 2004 UConn men’s basketball teams of Coach Jim Calhoun. 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) and UConn Men’s Basketball (1999, 2004). The pinnacle achievement of UConn’s eight 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. 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.
