WILDCAT
S TADIUM
In June 2014, the University System of New Hampshire board of trustees approved UNH’s plan to renovate Cowell Stadium as part of its campus master plan. On Sept. 10, 2016, the UNH football team kicked off the inaugural season at Wildcat Stadium with a 39-28 victory against Holy Cross; 13,242 is the program’s highest home opener attendance. Dalton Crossan carries the offense with 24 rushes for 199 yards and two TDs. On Oct. 1, 2016, a home game record crowd of 21,943 sees the Wildcats defeat William & Mary, 21-12, on Homecoming. Two weeks later, UNH scored 27 points in the last seven minutes of the game, but the furious rally falls short in a 42-39 loss to James Madison; the ‘Cats break team records for both completions (44) and pass attempts (70). On Nov. 26, 2016, UNH amasses 637 yards of offense and is a 64-21 victor against Lehigh in the first ever playoff game at Wildcat Stadium, an NCAA FCS Division I first round game. In the 2016 season, a total of 57,782 fans entered the gates of Wildcat Stadium for a record average of 9,630. New Hampshire also established a program record for highest regular-season average attendance (11,108). On Aug. 31, 2017, UNH kicks off the 2017 season against arch rival Maine in the inaugural Thursday Night Throwdown; it will be the first time the ‘Cats play their home opener on a weeknight. Construction of Wildcat Stadium began in May 2015 with the demolition of the previous visitor’s bleachers on the west side of Mooradian Field, and the official groundbreaking ceremony was held May 29. Blasting cleared the area in June and concrete was poured for the foundation in July. One month later, the lighting of the stadium was upgraded as one light pole was relocated and another was installed to increase the number to six light poles. With the football team in San Jose, Calif. for its season opener on Sept. 3, 2015, the first steel beams were raised back in Durham. The last steel beam was installed in October. Construction on the infrastructure continued through winter, and windows were installed for the Service Credit Union Victory Club, suites and top level in March 2016. In the next two months, the bleachers, seats and speakers were installed. The 30x50 foot video board was erected in June and the previous concrete press box on the east concourse was torn down. Wildcat Stadium was completed on schedule in August 2016.

WELCOME TO THE DUNGEON
UNH’s Cowell Stadium – now Wildcat Stadium – became known as The Dungeon, a fittingly foreboding name for visiting teams because, in the past decade, very few have left The Dungeon with a win. New Hampshire won a school-record 14 consecutive home games spanning the 2013-14 seasons to surpass the benchmark of 12 established during the 2008-10 seasons; seven of those 14 wins were against-nationally-ranked teams, including four in the Top 10. In the 2015 season, the ‘Cats knocked off another top-5 team with a 30-25 victory against Richmond ( Nov. 7). In 2016, UNH toppled three nationally-ranked teams in The Dungeon.
The record streak began Sept. 14, 2013 with a 53-23 victory in the home opener against Colgate University. The Wildcats went on to an unblemished 6-0 record at The Dungeon that season, when they outscored the opposition 243-97 and scored more than 50 points in a game twice – season-high 59 vs. Rhode Island (Oct. 12).
In 2014, UNH won all six regular-season home games to tie the previous record for most consecutive home wins (12) and went on to NCAA postseason wins against both Fordham and Chattanooga to establish the new mark (14). The ‘Cats outscored the opposition 328-156 with five games of 40+ points, including a season-high 52 against Dartmouth College (in the first ever night game at The Dungeon) and 44 in the NCAA second round vs. ninth-ranked Fordham. Since the start of the 2007 season, the Wildcats are 51-8 at The Dungeon. UNH has had tremendous success at home against non-conference teams the past 12 years (2005-16) with a 22-3 record that included 16 consecutive wins spanning the 2006-14 seasons.

McDonnell was feted as the 2010 Division I FCS Coach of the Year by the New England Football Writers, his third such honor (2005, ’08). During the course of the ’10 campaign, the ‘Cats earned their 12th straight home victory –a school record- by shutting out No. 11 Richmond, 17-0, on Homecoming.

In 2003, UNH began turning the corner by winning three of its last four contests, including an upset victory over nationally-ranked Maine. The team’s 5-7 record could have easily been above .500, as the ‘Cats narrowly lost to No. 1 Delaware on a missed field goal in the closing seconds, and UNH was driving for a potential game-winning TD late at Division I-A Central Michigan before running out of time. In 2002, McDonnell’s offense was one of the most prolific in I-AA football and averaged 449.2 yards per contest and 36.7 ppg.

In addition, Fordham led the league in defensive passing efficiency, ranked second in scoring defense and third in total defense. McCarty’s extensive coaching experience at the college level includes stops at Cornell, Western Michigan, Stanford, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Illinois, Syracuse, Central Florida and Holy Cross.

Chris Zarkoskie is in his third season as tight ends coach in 2017. While veteran Jordan Powell missed the first four games of the 2016 season, Zarkoskie had to prep two sophomores and a redshirt freshman for battle. Powell went on to rank fourth on the team in both receptions and receiving yards. Under Zarkoskie’s tutelage, Powell enjoyed a breakout junior campaign in 2015. Powell hauled in 46 receptions (tied for second on team) for a teamleading 461 yards (10.0 yards/catch) and five TD grabs, which also led the team. He was subsequently tabbed a College Sporting News Fabulous Fifty All-America Honorable Mention, College Sports Madness All-America Third Team, D-I All-New England Team, All-CAA First Team and an ECAC Second Team All-Star. Zarkoskie worked as a strength & conditioning intern for the UNH athletic department in the 2014-15 academic year.

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 13 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES
2017 SEASON PREVIEW
THE CAPTAINS / OVERVIEW The captains are in place. Four seniors – center Jake Kennedy, running back Trevon Bryant, running back Donald Goodrich and safety D’Andre Drummond-Mayrie – have been elected captains by their teammates. “They’re four kids that I think have done a great job in taking over the leadership role since January, four kids that have emerged,” McDonnell said. “The good thing is there’s a different style from each kid. I think Bryant and Goodrich are very vocal and lead by energy and effort. Kennedy and Drummond, I think, are guys that are well respected for how they go about doing their daily business here, the work they do on the team.” The different styles and four captains are good, the coach said. “It’s needed,” McDonnell said. “Not one or two guys can do it anymore. Last year we were very fortunate that the three guys we had were well respected by the whole team because of how they did everything.” Casey DeAndrade, Ryan Farrell and Adam Riese led the Wildcats to an 8-5 season, a 13th straight appearance in the FCS tournament – the longest mark in the country - and a first-round win over Lehigh in Wildcat Stadium. “They did such a great job and set the bar so high,” Drummond-Mayrie said. “We know we have to raise that bar. Like coach Mac always says, great players, great teams, don’t rise to low expectations.” The goals of chasing a CAA title, tournament berths and a national championship never change, nor does the pressure that comes with those pursuits. “The playoff streak is a big part of our tradition here.” Kennedy said. “But the bigger part of our tradition is the biggest game is the next one. So we’re taking it one step at a time. Coach Mac puts us through a lot of rigorous, strenuous, stressful situations to create some pressure on us and I think we’ve handled adversity pretty well.” Bryant suffered a knee injury in spring practice and will be sidelined this fall. “It (being elected captain) is definitely an honor, but I think it’s going to be a challenge as well,” Bryant said. “Dealing with this injury and also having to lead the guys at the same time. I think it’s going to force me to become more mature mentally, become stronger. Just going through this myself is going to make me be a better athlete and a better leader for my teammates.” The captains are looking forward to the season ahead. “I’m excited to get ready for this year,” Goodrich said. “I’m excited about the team that we have. I’m really looking forward to the season. I think we’ve got a lot of young talent right now. I’m excited about Trevor (Knight) coming back. He’s going to be a great talent again. I think he’s going to really open up this year.” Goodrich awaits the opener for another reason. “I’m also just excited to start off with Maine,” Goodrich added. “That’s going to be an exciting game. I’m from Maine, so that makes the rivalry a little bit more real for me.”
QUARTERBACKS Trevor Knight, in his first season as starting quarterback, came on strong as the 2016 progressed. Head coach McDonnell and offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Ryan Carty are looking for continued improvement from the junior. “It’s the good thing about playing a young quarterback,” Carty said. “He got a lot of game-time reps last year. He got put in a lot of situations that were good for his development and good for our team’s development. Hopefully we can keep him healthy and keep him progressing the right way. I don’t see any reason we

shouldn’t expect a very good season from Trevor. “He’s an extremely athletic, fast and explosive type of player,” Carty added. Knight competed with Adam Riese last year and won the starting job. The competition these days is for the backup job behind him. Redshirt freshman Christian Lupoli has closed the gap on sophomore Ivan Niyomugabo in that race. Redshirt freshman Will Pollard is also in contention. “We’ll see how that all shakes out. You look at the history of our quarterback position,” Carty said. “There’s not many years where we’ve played one kid for 11 to 15 games. We’ve got to make sure we have some solid depth.” “Trevor’s been good,” McDonnell said. “I’m always wanting more from him, as you do from every starting quarterback. When he’s had time to throw the football, has had time to get it off, he knows where it’s going and has been accurate.” Some of Knight’s improvement last year showed up in turnover numbers. He threw for eight touchdowns, but also had eight interceptions, in his first six games of the season. In his last six, he passed for six scores and was intercepted just twice. WIDE RECEIVERS & TIGHT ENDS Last year, they combined for 117 catches, 1,354 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. Junior Neil O’Connor and sophomore Malik Love are back to lead UNH’s crew of receivers into the 2017 season. Love had a team-high 59 catches for 520 yards and a score a year ago. O’Connor had 58 catches for a team-leading 834 yards and six TDs. “The meat of our production comes back at the receiving positions,” said Michael Ferzoco, the assistant coach who works with wide receivers. “Neil obviously had a tremendous year and Malik was very productive in the slot. They’re two guys who are very smart. They’re savvy. They know how to play the game and they can play multiple positions for us, inside and outside.” “Malik Love had an outstanding spring, running routes and competing,” McDonnell said. “Every time we put him in position to do something with the football, he’s been productive.” Love, O’Connor et al will look to generate more big plays. “We’ll look for them to expand on that this year and hopefully add some more X-play potential with their games and we can get some home runs,” Ferzoco said. “Malik has a knack for catching the ball in traffic and being able to maneuver his body around safeties and linebackers to find open windows,” Ferzoco added. “Unfortunately he played most of the year last year nicked up so you didn’t get a chance to see some of his big-play ability.” O’Connor averaged 14.4 yards a catch last season. “He’s very smooth and has a great ability to track the ball in the air and come down with it,” Ferzoco said. “He had a lot of deep ball catches last year on the sidelines or on the perimeter. He’s also a player that knows how to find open windows and get to open spaces and make himself a good target for the quarterback. Neil has a way of weaving in and out of traffic and not getting tackled by the first defender.” The Wildcats are also looking to people like junior Kieran Presley, injured most of last season, and sophomore tight end Justin Malone-Woods, for big plays. “Kieran’s probably our most explosive receiver,” Ferzoco said. “If we’re able to keep him healthy, we should have a pretty good group, especially with the young guys that are coming along.” Malone-Woods leads the tight end group. “We have three or four guys who had a strong spring season,” said assistant coach Chris Zarkoskie, who works with the tight ends. “Justin came back to us

2017 SEASON PREVIEW
from wide receiver so that’s exciting. He played really well with the starters. He’s a fast guy. He’s a long body. He’s not afraid to stick his nose in there in the run game. He works really hard at it. With his speed and explosion he can be a threat down the field.” Juniors John DiCaro, Nick Derocher and Matt Torrey, sophomore Brendan Hill and redshirt freshman Jack Cavallaro are also battling for playing time at tight end. Redshirt freshman Nick Lorden is one of the young wide receivers who impressed this past spring. Sophomores Nick Lubischer and Brandon Gallagher are also in the mix.
RUNNING BACKS Two-hundred ninety-five. Assistant coach Chris Setian wrote the number on the board at running backs meeting during spring ball. “All the guys saw that big number, that 295, there,” Setian said. “Everyone wants a piece of that.” The 295 represents the number of times Dalton Crossan, a standout senior running back a year ago, got his hands on the ball last season; he rushed 233 times for 1,281 yards, caught 42 passes for 266 yards and returned 20 kickoffs for 430 yards. Big numbers. Big production. Those carries and catches are up for grabs heading into 2017. The running back group took a hit midway through the spring when senior Trevon Bryant went down with a knee injury during practice. His loss shuffles the depth chart at running back. Sophomore Evan Gray moves up and is penciled in as the starter. Seniors Donald Goodrich and Jerickson Fedrick are listed as backups. In addition, redshirt freshman DeUnte Chatman was switched from linebacker to running back after the Bryant injury. Gray had 14 carries for 66 yards and an impressive touchdown last season when he broke free for a 22-yard score in UNH’s FCS playoff win over Lehigh. “It was explosive and it was fast,” Setian said. “He’s big and he’s deceptively quick. He’s got great feet in the hole. We’re really excited about him. He’s really smooth. He has good hips. And what he can do is re-accelerate his feet in the hole. If he can continue to do that, it’s going to be a really bright future for him.” Goodrich has been a standout on special teams and has contributed on offense as well throughout his career. “Donald Goodrich is a do-it-all guy,” Setian said. “He is a leader on special teams, a leader in our offense. He’s probably one of the more experienced guys we have. He’s another guy that we can trust and put him in any different sort of spot. At H-back, at running back. We can put him out wide. We can have him lead block. We can give him the ball. We can throw him the ball.” Fedrick, who played at Salem (N.H.) High School, transferred in from Maine a year ago. “When he gets downhill and moving fast it’s hard to tackle him,” Setian said. “He gets hit and then he still goes for six yards. It’s flashes of really good downhill, tough football.” A resident of Houston, Chatman spent a prep year at Loomis Chaffee in Windsor, Conn. He rushed 92 times for 1,132 and 16 TDs and also had 76 tackles with 34 for loss, including 16 sacks.

OFFENSIVE LINE The Wildcats took a hit – or four, to be more exact – on the offensive line. Gone are Andrew Lauderdale, Tad McNeely, Curtis Nealer and Alexander Morrill, all of whom were multiple-year starters. Offensive line coach Alex Miller and the Wildcats spent the offseason and spring rebuilding the unit, a process that will continue into preseason camp. There are a couple of big returning starters – senior Will McInerny and junior Dayne Herron – to help the process along. Herron has moved from right tackle to left tackle and McInerny is at right tackle on the depth chart. Between Herron and McInerny on the depth chart, senior Jake Kennedy is penciled in at center, sophomore Nick Velte is at one guard spot and redshirt freshman Jack Carroll at the other. “We’ve got a little bit of experience, but we don’t have that three-year starter or anything like that coming back,” Miller said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do. It’s one of those things with the offensive line: If you’re willing to put the work in it will come out the other side. But these guys have a lot of work to do ahead of them.” Herron, McInerny and Kennedy bring the most size and experience to the group. McInerny, 6-foot-7 and 305 pounds, and Herron, 6-foot-4 and 307, started last season. Kennedy, 6-foot-3 and 309 pounds, was named one of the team’s captains. “Dayne’s got a good tackle body,” Miller said. “He’s got long arms. He’s extremely athletic. He’s a former basketball player. Those are the guys that we usually like taking at tackle. His athleticism, his effort, that’s something that sets him apart. I think last year that’s what kept him starting for 10 games: He gave great effort and just kind of kept attacking things. That’s something he’s got to continue to do.” McInerny started 11 games last season and five as a sophomore, sometimes at guard and sometimes at tackle. “Will’s a big guy, Miller said. “He can play inside and outside so he gives us a little flexibility. If we get better depth inside, we’ll probably play him at tackle. But if we have a little more depth at tackle, maybe we’ll play him at guard. His versatility is good right now as we kind of work out the kinks with the young guys.” Kennedy has fit in nicely at center. “The good thing for Jake is he had Mike Coccia and Tad McNeely, All American, All-Conference guys ahead of him, so he’s kind of seen how to practice and how to carry himself and the responsibility and the pressure we put on the center in our offense,” Miller said. “He’s done a pretty good job. He was solid this spring.” Velte and Carroll are among the youngsters of the group. Velte started five games last year as a redshirt freshman. Carroll worked on the defensive side and dealt with a foot injury last fall. “Nick’s a smart kid and he was able to pick the offense up really well,” Miller said. “As a young kid, it’s usually the other way. They’re trying to figure out the offense, so they’re not playing with good confidence and technique.” Carroll’s been a welcome addition to the offense. “He’s been a pleasant surprise,” Miller said. “He’s a former rugby player in high school so he’s a pretty athletic kid. He can play with a base really well and use his power in his hips. He’s a tough kid. He’s a strong kid. He reminds me a lot – it’s not just because he has the same number – of Morrill when he came in as a freshman. He was a D-tackle for half a year and came over, but just kind of kept attacking things and eventually it worked itself out. If he keeps doing that, I think we’ll be fine.”

2017 SEASON PREVIEW
Redshirt freshman Matt Mascia and sophomores Noah Robison, a transfer from Coastal Carolina, Jeff Carter, Mike McGuinness and Clayton Jimerson are among the others in the mix, pushing for starting jobs and minutes. “You’ve got a lot of moving parts,” Miller said. “But we’ve got to keep putting these guys in situations and scenarios to see who can come out the other side. Ultimately I think over the years what has made us good is the pressure we apply to our kids during practice almost makes the game a little easier at times. The more we can add that pressure, as long as they continue to meet it, they’ll be OK in the long run.”
DEFENSIVE LINE One of the goals for UNH’s defense a year ago was to shore up its efforts against the run. Thanks in large part to the men in the middle – first-time starters Rick Holt and Ryan Sosnak – the Wildcats were able to do that. Holt, 6-foot-4 and 293 pounds and now a senior, and Sosnak, 6-foot-2 and 300 pounds and a junior, are back to anchor the defensive line from their tackle spots again. “In the interior, Holt and Sosnak have done a real good job of getting better at the things that we asked them to get better at,” McDonnell said. “We talked about gap control. Talked about bull rushing. We talked about using hands and staying in and the integrity of the defense and both have done a real good job with that.” Holt leads the returning defensive linemen with 27 unassisted tackles and 20 assisted for a total of 47. Sosnak had 16-12-28 totals and his 39-yard return of a fumble for a touchdown against Towson University was one of the defensive highlights of the season. Sophomore Elijah Lewis and junior Cyrus Boone, who missed all of last season with a foot injury, look to be part of the rotation as well. At defensive end, the Wildcats need to replace the production and leadership of Cam Shorey, who led the team with 10 tackles for a loss and was named the Colonial Athletic Association co-Scholar Athlete of the Year for football. Juniors Jae’Wuan Horton and Kyle Reisert saw the most time of those returning at defensive end and sophomore Josh Kania was very productive when he got his chances. Reisert had 36 tackles with a team-leading 4.5 sacks and Horton had 28 tackles and four sacks. Kania made 37 tackles with 2.5 sacks. Redshirt freshman Brian Carter, sophomore Robbie Schumacher and redshirt freshman Riley Ammerman are also in the picture for playing time at defensive end. The defense improved from last in the league at 199 yards allowed rushing in 2015 to fourth at 137.7 in 2016. The mission for 2017 is to continue that improvement and get more of a pass rush. Holt and Sosnak will be called upon once again. “Those two guys did an outstanding job last year,” said Pete McCarty, the assistant coach in charge of defensive tackles. “They did a great job in the run game. I’ve told both of those guys that I anticipate a higher level of play from them. They’re a year older and a year older being smart, too. I think they have to be the leaders in the forefront for young guys.” Lewis, who played as a true freshman last year, is one of the young players. Redshirt freshmen Jacob Bradshaw and Patrick Kaplan and sophomore Sean Burns are among the others. “The biggest thing is we want to be able to get a third and a fourth guy in there so those other two guys (Holt and Sosnak) can be taken off the field and not fear
WWW.UNHWILDCATS.COM
we’re going to get a significant dropoff,” McCarty said.
LINEBACKERS Linebackers DeVaughn Chollette and Ryan Farrell both started every game of their senior year in 2016. The good news for the 2017 football team is that the two players who backed them up – junior Jared Kuehl and sophomore Quinlen Dean – not only got a lot of playing time as reserves but were very productive in their roles. Kuehl was part of a regular rotation at linebacker and was fourth on the team with 60 tackles last season. He returned an interception for a touchdown and forced a couple of fumbles. Dean was involved in 38 tackles, forced and recovered a couple of fumbles and had a breakout game against Stony Brook. “Right now, Jared Kuehl and Quinlen Dean are doing really good things,” McDonnell said. “They’re both athletic as all get-go. They get to the ball. Both of them are good-sized linebackers. Both can run. Both have picked up and taken to the coaching very, very well.” Garrett Gillick coaches the UNH linebackers and he’s been impressed by his two leaders as well the linebackers overall. “I think they’re a talented group,” Gillick said. “They’re probably as athletic as any kids I’ve had, including freshman Stephen Harper.” Harper redshirted last season and is part of the linebacking group with sophomore Cameron Brusko and classmates Jackson Housman and Carson Leary. Kuehl got off to a fast start last season as he tied for the team lead with 10 tackles in the season opener at San Diego State. Two games later, he picked off a pass against Dartmouth and returned it 61 yards for a touchdown. “Jared’s a guy that’s very slippery inside,” Gillick said. “He makes people miss. He’s got great feet. He uses his hands really, really well. That allowed him last year to get involved in some packages that maybe got him on the field a little earlier. Jared’s a kid who has progressed each year in the program, whether it’s in the weight room, during mat drills or just even physically putting on weight. And he just has a knack to rush the passer.” Kuehl does well in school and that spills over onto the field, Gillick said. “He’s been able to pick up the defense relatively quickly for a kid who really hasn’t played a whole lot of snaps,” the coach said. “I think the thing with him is the intelligence he brings on the field and his ability to find the football, whether it’s blitzing or running through gaps or in pass coverage, he does a real good job.” Dean had three interceptions last season. Two of them came in a 43-14 win over No. 22 Stony Brook in Wildcat Stadium on Oct. 29. “He got here and he was very athletic,” Gillick said. “I think the first play he ever had in one of our thuds he picked off a pass and scored a touchdown. I think with him, he’s long and he just had to learn the defense. He and Jared have done a real good job picking up schemes and understanding what we want from them, which then allows them to get on the field and make plays.” Brusko, Harper and the others will try to follow their lead. “It’s just really a matter of who are the next two guys,” Gillick said. “It’s up for grabs. Now that we’ve got most of our stuff in it’s a matter of who’s going to pick it up faster.” DEFENSIVE BACKS The coaches knew going into last season that they were going to be working with a young and inexperienced group in the defensive backfield. And then their

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 13 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES
2017 SEASON PREVIEW
group got a whole lot younger and less experienced. By the third game of the season, cornerback Prince Smith, Jr. and safety Pop Lacey – a pair of true freshman – had entrenched themselves in the starting lineup. At times, the Wildcats were playing Smith, Jr. and Lacey alongside redshirt freshmen safeties Michael Balsamo and Rick Ellison with senior cornerback Casey DeAndrade. With the graduation of DeAndrade, the Wildcats are looking at a defensive backfield that is still young, but much more experienced than a year ago. The depth chart, which lists two cornerbacks and the three safeties in UNH’s defensive backfield, has five sophomores, including Isiah Perkins at cornerback. It’s extremely rare that a true freshman steps in and plays regular time in the UNH defensive backfield. Lacey and Smith, Jr. both did it and were very productive last season. “At times they were outstanding and then at times... that happens,” said John Lyons, the defensive coordinator who works specifically with cornerbacks. “Both kids have a good understanding of what we’re doing. There’s a lot of things going on back there and a lot of things that have to happen at once. Everybody’s got to be on the same page and make sure we’re playing things the proper way.” Lacey led UNH in tackles with 82. Smith, Jr. had five interceptions, the most for a Wildcat since 2011 and the third best in the Colonial Athletic Association. Smith, Jr. was the CAA Defensive Rookie of the Year. Lacey was All-CAA Third Team. Both players have improved as they’ve gotten more familiar with the defense and what the team is trying to accomplish, Lyons said. “Prince really plays hard,” Lyons said. “He’s very quick, very explosive as far as his ability to change direction. I think he likes the challenge of being out there and playing a man one on one. That type of thing doesn’t bother him, where some guys kind of back away from that, he doesn’t. He never panics. He’s patient. If the receiver is ahead of him he’s going to run and play him. He keeps his composure that way.” Lacey served as the “quarterback” of the secondary. “Pop is a tremendous athlete,” said assistant coach Scott James, who works with the safeties. “He’s intelligent, both on and off the field. He’s engaging with his teammates, he’s engaging with his coaches. He has a great football IQ, so giving him things, whether its new assignments, new adjustments, whether it’s giving him new focus points as an individual, it’s easy for him to wrap his head around it, it’s easy for him to grasp. He doesn’t lose sight of how it all works together.” Lyons and James and the rest of the staff are excited about the defense overall and the young backfield – including Balsamo, Ellison and Perkins – in particular. Redshirt freshman safety Evan Horn draws high praise from the coaches, too, and is expected to play a key role, as is redshirt freshman cornerback Alonzo Addae. Seniors D’Andre Drummond-Mayrie, Geno Miller, Marquis Carr and Nick Marino add valuable leadership and experience to the mix. “We have some pretty good competition at cornerback,” Lyons said. “At the safety spot, all of those guys played, which is a big plus because they’re all better than they were.” The group has impressed overall. “Last year was certainly a unique year, in that we played so many freshmen as a defense,” James said. “That experience has lent itself to this year where we’re seeing a lot of growth, fast growth in formation recognition, schematic recognition, it can put a lot more on their plate. The best thing about the group is that they are engaged in what we’re doing, they’re easy to coach, they manage themselves in

terms of motivation. It’s a tremendous group.”
SPECIAL TEAMS Head coach McDonnell figures his team has the best of both worlds when it comes to the kicking game in 2017: The Wildcats have experienced guys back at kicker and punter, and they also have players to compete with them. Senior Morgan Ellman is back as the kickoff man and field goal kicker and classmate Max Pedinoff is the punter. “Both have experience, both did a good job for us last year,” McDonnell said. “The good thing is we’ve got returning starters. The even better thing is we’ve got guys pushing them and making them a little bit better.” Pedinoff has pushed Ellman as a kicker and, in turn, sophomore Drew Sanborn has been pushing Pedinoff as a punter. “That’s the great thing about competition,” McDonnell said. “Drew Sanborn played a little bit last year. Talented kid. He’s going to give Max a run for his money at the punting position. At the kicking position, I was very, very pleased with the way Pedinoff kicked this past spring. He was very accurate, hit some long kicks.” Sophomore Mitch McPike adds depth to the kicking spot and has turned it into a three-way competition and redshirt freshman Jason Hughes has joined the picture as well. Ellman made all five of the field goals he attempted as a sophomore and last year made seven of his 10 field goal attempts with a long of 40 yards. He was 38for-40 on his conversion kicks. Pedinoff averaged 38.4 yards per punt on his 62 kicks and knocked 19 of them inside the 20-yard line. “Field position is a huge, huge part of the game,” McDonnell said. “One of the things I think we did extremely well last year was punt the ball inside the 10-yard line. Max had a real good feel for it. Drew had two of them in the Elon game when he played.” The Wildcats lost two of the best punt and kickoff returners in the Colonial Athletic Association – DeAndrade and Crossan – to graduation. “That one’s going to be very interesting because you don’t know until they get in the heat of the battle,” McDonnell said. “For the punt returners, I think Malik Love and I think Pop Lacey have done a really nice job of catching the ball and making us feel comfortable. Neil O’Connor’s back there. But you don’t really know until the bullets start flying in the game. “With kickoff return, there’s a lot of young guys that I think will be pretty good,” McDonnell added. “I think Kieran Presley will be good at it. I think DeUnte Chatman with his speed might be pretty good at it. We’ve got to find out through next fall what the guys are doing, if they understand how to hit it and go and then get into a game and see what happens. It’s hard to simulate.” There are at least a couple of other aspects to special teams as well. “Who’s blocking for the returners?” McDonnell quipped. “How much better are we going to get up front, staying on blocks and making sure there are some holes for these guy to run through.” Then there’s the matter of getting the ball to the punters and holders. “The other thing that we never talk about is snappers,” McDonnell said. “We had a guy, Ryan Farrell, last year that snapped for four years and didn’t have a bad snap. Jared Kuehl, Evan Horn, Nick Lubischer will be battling for the starting long snapping thing. Kuehl’s got a little bit of a heads up on that. In the short snapping, I feel really good with Kyle Reisert and Jacob Bradshaw. Those guys go unnoticed, but they’re really important.”

Senior running back Dalton Crossan ran for a career-high 199 yards on a careerhigh 24 carries to lead a punishing UNH rushing attack. The Wildcats rolled up 362 yards on the ground on the way to 552 total yards of offense. Sophomore quarterback Trevor Knight completed 11 of his 18 passes for 190 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Senior defensive back Casey DeAndrade closed out the scoring and sealed the win with a 28-yard return of an interception for a touchdown with 2:10 left in the game. The Wildcats trailed 21-6 early in the second quarter and outscored Holy Cross 33-7 the rest of the way. After falling behind 28-19 with 6:44 left in the third quarter, UNH scored twice in the last three minutes of the third to take the lead. Crossan scored UNH’s first two TDs of the season on runs of 3 and 56 yards in the first half. He made a nice cut at the line of scrimmage and broke a couple of tackles downfield on the 56-yarder, which came one play after a Knight 51-yard TD run was called back because of a penalty. Crossan’s previous career highs were 22 carries and 140 yards. In the first half, Knight completed eight of his 11 passes for 84 yards. Sophomore receiver Neil O’Connor led UNH with four catches for 56 yards and classmate Rory Donovan caught two passes for 98 yards. O’Connor (eight yards) and Donovan (62 yards) caught UNH touchdown passes. Donovan’s TD catch with 1:17 left in the third quarter gave UNH its first lead of the game at 32-28. Junior running back Trevon Bryant rushed nine times for 79 yards and a 1-yard score. Sophomore Jae’Wuan Horton had one of two UNH quarterback sacks in the game. Redshirt freshman Josh Kania had the other. Freshman Prince Smith, Jr. had the second UNH interception, on the last Holy Cross play of the game. Legendary UNH football coach Bill Bowes was honored at halftime in recognition of his being selected into the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame.

UNH had won 13 straight in the series and was unbeaten the previous 20 meetings (18-0-2) dating back to Dartmouth’s previous win in 1976. The Wildcats are now 1-2, while this was the season opener for the Big Green, who outscored their guests 15-0 in the fourth quarter. UNH outgained Dartmouth 55-53 in the opening 15 minutes of the game, but the Big Green capitalized on a Wildcat turnover and subsequent short field to hold a 7-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Big Green faced 3rd-and-6 at the UNH 39 and the Wildcat duo from Plymouth, N.H. combined to produce the Wildcats’ first score of the game. Kyle Reisert forced his way through the middle of the line to hurry Heneghan’s throw, and Jared Kuehl stepped in front of the intended receiver at the UNH 39 and raced down the right sideline into the end zone. Morgan Ellman made the ensuing PAT to tie the score, 7-7. With DC facing 3rd-and-22 at its 11, Ryder Stone broke free down the right sideline, but Casey DeAndrade punched the ball out from behind at the UNH 25 and Rick Ellison fell on the ball at the 14 to give possession to the ‘Cats two minutes to the half. Knight orchestrated a 10-play, 86-yard drive that culminated in a 27-yard pass from Trevor Knight to Kieran Presley on a post pattern, and Ellman’s PAT gave the ‘Cats a 14-7 lead with 17 seconds on the clock. UNH scored the only points of the third quarter to extend its lead to 21-7 through 45 minutes. The Wildcats marched 88 yards in 10 plays to create the 14-point margin. On 3rd-and-goal from the 8, Knight stepped up in the pocket, fired a pass and Justin Malone-Woods made a diving catch in the middle of the end zone. Dartmouth began its comeback with a 15-play, 48-yard drive that ended with Smith’s 28-yard field goal at 13:45 that trimmed the deficit to 21-10. Heneghan floated a pass to Emory Thompson for a 4-yard TD to narrow the deficit to 21-16. Dartmouth’s two-point pass conversion failed. Heneghan rolled to his left and drilled a 1-yard TD pass to Charles Mack to give the Big Green a 22-21 lead with 1:40 remaining. Dartmouth once again was stopped short on Heneghan’s keeper on the 2-point PAT attempt. With the ‘Cats facing 4th & 3 at the UNH 37, Knight reentered the game at quarterback and completed a four-yard pass to Malik Love to extend the Wildcats’ possession. UNH faced 4th & 1 at the 50 with 34 seconds on the clock, but a false start pushed the ‘Cats back five yards. Knight was sacked by Brennan Cascarano to secure victory for Dartmouth. The pick-six was Kuehl’s first career interception. Both Presley and Malone-Woods scored a TD on their first career receptions. Love finished with career highs in both receptions (13) and receiving yards (108). Dalton Crossan had 188 all-purpose yards with 12 carries for 45 yards, 10 catches for 44 yards and four kickoff returns for 89 yards.

UNH improved to 2-2 overall and 1-0 in the CAA with its sixth consecutive victory against URI, which is now 0-4, 0-2. New Hampshire took a 7-0 lead at 4:51 on a 16-play, 80-yard drive with a mix of nine runs and seven passes that consumed 7:01 off the clock. Facing 3rd-and-13 from the URI 22, Knight dropped back into the pocket and found Neil O’Connor in the left side of the end zone. Morgan Ellman kicked the ensuing PAT. Rhode Island responded immediately with a 10-play, 75-yard drive to tie the score at 1:21 on T.J. Anderson’s leap over the line from the UNH 1. On its next possession, URI advanced the ball to the 15 but was denied the goahead score when Pop Lacey stripped the ball from Harold Buckner III at the UNH 1 and Isiah Perkins recovered the loose ball in the end zone. The Wildcats regained the lead, 15-7, at 5:10 when Knight faked the inside handoff to Crossan and bounced off a defender for the one-yard TD run. On the ensuing PAT, UNH lined up the swinging gate to the left and Kyle Reisert snapped the ball directly to O’Connor on the left side. O’Connor hesitated briefly then lofted a pass to an open Reisert in the back of the end zone for the two points and a 15-7 margin. URI opened the third quarter scoring with a 24-yard field goal by Justin Rohrwasser that lifted the home team within 15-10 at 11:59. New Hampshire responded with an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive capped by Trevon Bryant’s three-yard TD run to extend the lead to 22-10 at 7:53. The Wildcats then marched 61 yards in 15 plays and took 6:15 off the clock to build a 25-10 advantage on Ellman’s first field goal of the season, a 24-yarder. The Rams closed within one score, 25-17, at 9:54 of the fourth quarter on Paul Mroz’s 12-yard keeper. UNH’s offense scored its third TD of the second half – with its fourth scoring drive of 10+ plays – to reestablish a 15-point lead, 32-17, at 5:29. Knight connected with O’Connor for the second time in the game, this time from 12 yards, to cap the 10-play, 63-yard drive. The Wildcats’ defense scored for the third consecutive week when Josh Kania forced a Markey Clarke fumble at the URI 5, D’Andre Drummond-Mayrie picked up the ball at the 10 and ran into the end zone for a 39-17 lead. O’Connor finished with career highs in receptions (six), receiving yards (85) and receiving TDs (two); he also converted his first career two-point PAT. Knight eclipsed 200 passing yards for the first time in his career with 207. He threw for two TDs for the third consecutive week. With the two-point conversion, Reisert scored his first career points.

Attendance for the Homecoming game in the new Wildcat Stadium was 21,943. Knight carried the ball 16 times for 95 yards and a 28-yard score.

The UNH offense settled down after turning the ball over on its first three possessions of the game with a fumble, interception and fumble. William & Mary’s Kendell Anderson scored on a 36-yard run with 6:46 left in the first period to open the scoring. Kris Hooper’s conversion kick was wide. Knight scored on a nice 28-yard run with 4:37 left to get UNH on the board. He scrambled on a 4th and 9 and got to the left sideline for the first down and then cut back to the middle and raced into the end zone. Justin Malone-Woods had a pair of key blocks on Knight’s run.

UNH, which outgained the hosts 391-241, won its third consecutive game to improve to 4-2 overall and 2-0 in the CAA. Elon is now 2-4, 1-2. Dalton Crossan carried the ball a career-high 28 times for 152 yards as part of 189 all-purpose yards. Trevor Knight completed 22 of 43 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown; he also had 12 carries for 45 yards. Pop Lacey recorded a game-high 13 tackles while Jared Kuehl had eight tackles, including two for a loss, with a forced fumble and fumble recovery. On the game’s opening drive, UNH marched 75 yards on 14 plays to take a 7-0 lead at 9:28, and that was the score at the end of the quarter. Knight completed 3 of 5 passes for 25 yards and carried the ball twice for seven yards on the scoring drive, which was capped by a 7-yard pass to Jelani Greene for his first career TD. Elon closed within 7-3 at 7:03 of the second quarter on John Gallagher’s 39-yard field goal that capped an 8-play, 35-yard drive, which was set up by Khalil Moore’s interception at the Elon 43. UNH responded with a 13-play, 70-yard drive but lost the ball on downs to keep the score 7-3. Facing 4th-and-goal from the Elon 3, the Wildcats lined up for a 20-yard field goal attempt. Knight rose from the kneeling position when the ball was snapped and angled for the left pylon, but Moore knocked him out of bounds short of the goal line. Elon’s defense converted its third turnover into a TD when Daniel Everett scored on a 21-yard fumble return to give the Phoenix a 10-7 lead at 4:08 of the third. UNH was held to a 3-and-out on the next possession, but Cody Rothwell recovered the fumbled punt return to give the ‘Cats 1st-and-10 and the Elon 31. Eight plays later, Ellman’s 46-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Malcolm Galloway. UNH’s defense forced a 3-and-out to start the fourth quarter, then New Hampshire marched 56 yards in 14 plays as Ellman’s 40-yard field goal tied the score, 10-10, at 10:07. Elon responded with a drive that stalled at the UNH 10 and Gallagher booted a 27-yard field goal attempt wide left to keep the score deadlocked. Including his second quarter field goal, Gallagher was 9-for-9 on the season prior to that miss. Bolstered by Crossan’s 30-yard run, the Wildcats quickly advanced the ball to the Elon 25. Then on 4th-and-3 from the 18, Ellman kicked a 35-yard field goal attempt between the uprights to put the ‘Cats back in front, 13-10, at 2:09. Elon converted 4th-and-8 with a 21-yard completion to move the ball to midfield, and that was followed by a 13-yard pass to advance into UNH territory at the 37. Three straight incompletions led to fourth down with 43 seconds on the clock. Daniel Thompson’s pass intended for Cole Taylor as he entered the end zone on the right side was deflected away by Smith, Jr. to force the Phoenix to lose possession on downs. Knight took one knee to run out the remaining 36 seconds and secure the victory.

Schor threw a 54-yard touchdown pass to Terrence Alls at 10:40 to quickly extend the advantage to 28-12. Alls caught a second TD pass from Schor at 10:04 of the fourth quarter and Charles Tutt returned a fumble on the ensuing kickoff six yards for a TD and JMU’s lead was 42-12 with exactly 10 minutes to play. Riese relieved Knight, who was shaken up after a roughing the passer penalty, and scored on a 2-yard run with 7:01 left. After Schor lost a fumble, UNH drove to a TD. Riese connected with Dalton Crossan for a 19-yard score. The ‘Cats recovered an onsides kick and marched to another score, a 1-yard run by Crossan, and the lead was down to 42-31. The UNH defense forced a punt and the offense took over again. Riese hit sophomore Rory Donovan, who made a nice catch in the corner of the end zone. A Riese to O’Connor conversion pass cut it to 42-39 with 1:15 left. JMU recovered an onsides kick and ran out the clock.

UNH is now 5-3 overall and 4-1 in the Colonial Athletic Association. Towson is 1-6, 0-4. In addition to scoring a pair of TDs, UNH’s defense limited Towson to 191 total yards of offense (80 rushing, 111 passing) – the lowest by an opponent this season – and 12 first downs. UNH dominated in total yards (109-37) and time of possession (8:12) to take a 7-0 lead through 15 minutes. Knight completed passes of 12, 6 and 20 yards to three different receivers, then pulled the ball down and ran to the left, side-stepped a defender inside the 5 yard-line and dove into the end zone for a 29-yard score. The PAT kick by Morgan Ellman gave UNH a 7-0 lead at 3:42. The teams scored touchdowns on consecutive plays – UNH’s defense and Towson’s special teams – to account for all the second-quarter scoring. There were three consecutive game-changing plays in the second quarter. Towson’s 32-yard pass play was negated by a holding penalty to set up 1st-and-20 at the TU 10. On the next play, Prince Smith, Jr. intercepted the ball at the 16 and raced into the end zone for his third INT and team’s third pick-six of the season. Ellman’s PAT made it 14-0 at 7:21. Shane Simpson fielded the ensuing kickoff two yards deep in the Towson end zone, found a wedge and sprinted past the UNH coverage team for a touchdown to make the score 14-7 at 7:06. The New Hampshire defense struck again on the opening drive of the second half. On 2nd-and-5 at the UNH 43, Ryan Farrell broke through the line on the right side and jarred the ball loose from quarterback Ellis Knudson at midfield. Ryan Sosnak picked up the fumble at the 39 and, with a few teammates blocking downfield, rumbled into the end zone to give the ‘Cats a 21-7 lead at 12:48. UNH’s D made a big stand at the start of the fourth quarter, which opened with Towson facing 3rd-and-10 at the UNH 37. Knudson completed a pass to Deshaun Wethington, but Jared Kuehl made a diving effort for a shoe-string tackle that held the Tigers to a three-yard gain. On fourth down, Casey DeAndrade broke up the pass and TU lost the ball on downs. New Hampshire made its fourth fourth-down stop of the game with 6:36 remaining when Knudson’s long throw into the wind on 4th-and-14 from the UNH 48 was too long for Summers. UNH’s offense ran 10 plays – all rushes, including a kneel down on the last play – to maintain possession the rest of the way. The Wildcats converted three third downs on the drive, the last of which set up 1st-and-goal at the TU 10.

Dean, a redshirt freshman, and Smith, a true freshman, each had a pair of interceptions. Dean also forced a fumble that he recovered. Smith grabbed his first interception on Stony Brook’s second play of the game and returned it 43 yards for a touchdown. The Wildcats shut down Stony Brook’s running game, collected five turnovers and turned four of them into touchdowns. The fifth stopped a Stony Brook drive at the end of the first half. UNH improved to 6-3 overall and 5-1 in the Colonial Athletic Association. The Wildcats handed the Seawolves their first CAA loss. Stony Brook is 5-3 and 4-1. Sophomore quarterback Trevor Knight completed 13 of his 27 passes for 144 yards and a career-best three touchdowns and also ran for a score. Senior running back Dalton Crossan scored on a 9-yard pass from Knight to cap UNH’s first possession. Smith picked off a Joe Carbone pass on Stony Brook’s second play of the game and returned it 43 yards for a TD. Neil O’Connor passed to Kyle Reisert for a two-point conversion and it was 15-0 less than five minutes into the game. Steve Marino caught a 9-yard pass from Carbone for a Stony Brook TD at 1:33 of the opening quarter. UNH outscored Stony Brook 21-7 in the third quarter to extend its lead to 36-14. Both of Dean’s two interceptions set up a touchdown and so did a 91-yard kick return by senior cornerback Casey DeAndrade. Knight connected with O’Connor for an 18-yard TD pass at 13:35 and then scored on a 1-yard run at 6:26. Stony Brook’s Carbone threw a 38-yard TD pass to Tim Keith at 3:21. After DeAndrade’s aforementioned kick return, Knight passed to Malik Love for a 6-yard TD at 3:04. Crossan scored the only points of the fourth quarter on a 14-yard run at 6:56. Dean forced the fumble and made the recovery that set up the drive that resulted in the score. The Wildcats led all of FCS in touchdowns scored by the defense coming into the game. Smith’s interception for a score was the defense’s sixth score this year and third in the last two games. Six is the most defensive touchdowns in a season by the Wildcats since the 2008 team also had six. Smith now has five interceptions for the season. Dean’s interceptions were the first two of his career. The defense held Stony Brook to 103 yards rushing. The Seawolves entered the game averaging 161.9 rushing yards per game. Junior Stacey Bedell was averaging 86.4 yards a game. He had 12 carries for 15 yards.

The Wildcats retained the Brice-Cowell Musket that goes to the winner of the series and made a strong case for getting a 13th straight trip to the NCAA Division I FCS tournament. UNH finished the regular season with a 7-4 overall record and 6-2 mark in the Colonial Athletic Association. Maine wrapped up at 6-5 and 5-3. It was an impressive team win for the Wildcats, who scored one touchdown passing, one rushing, one on defense – on a 44-yard interception return by true freshman safety Pop Lacey – and then closed it out with the field goal. Senior quarterback Adam Riese came on in relief of injured starter Trevor Knight and completed 20 of his 37 passes for 218 yards and a touchdown. Earnest Edwards’ wide receiver 13-yard pass to Jared Osumah opened the scoring at 2:07 of the first quarter. Lacey’s 44-yard interception return with Ellman’s conversion kick evened score at 7-7 with 46 seconds left. Crossan broke free for a 35-yard TD run and Ellman’s kick UNH tied it 14-14 at 5:31 of the third quarter. He had 61 yards in first half, then 61 in the third quarter alone. Riese connected with sophomore Neil O’Connor for 10-yard TD pass at 12:22 of the fourth quarter.

UNH’s second-half TD drives went 8 plays for 95 yards and 16 plays for 74 yards.

UNH improves to 8-4 on the season and advances to a second-round game at Colonial Athletic Association rival James Madison University. The Wildcats snapped Lehigh’s nine-game win streak and the Mountain Hawks finish the season at 9-3. Senior Dalton Crossan rushed 24 times for 184 yards and junior Trevon Bryant 11 times for 113 yards, and each running back scored two rushing touchdowns. Crossan scored a third time on a nine-yard pass from Riese in the first quarter. Sophomore receiver Neil O’Connor caught seven passes for 171 yards and a TD. Riese completed 18 of his 30 passes for a career-high 273 yards and a career-matching three TD passes. The 64 points were the most since the Wildcats matched their record of 70 in a win over Central Connecticut on Aug. 30, 2003, and the 637 total yards are the most since putting up 646 vs. Lehigh on Sept. 13, 2014. The defense was impressive as well. The Wildcats came up with four turnovers on interceptions by senior cornerback Casey DeAndrade, freshman safety Pop Lacey and redshirt freshman linebacker Quinlen Dean as well as a fumble recovery by redshirt freshman defensive end Josh Kania. Lehigh had turned the ball over only eight times – a number that led all of FCS – coming into the game. DeAndrade ended Lehigh’s opening possession of the game with an interception. The Wildcats turned the pick into a Crossan 5-yard touchdown run and never relinquished the lead. Crossan scored on a nine-yard pass from Riese at 6:28 of the first quarter to extend the advantage to 14-0. Riese hit O’Connor for a 35-yard passing TD five minutes into the second quarter. The TD completed a scoring drive that started after Lacey’s interception and covered 98 yards in 10 plays. Dom Bragalone scored on a 37-yard run for Lehigh at 7:19 of the second, but Riese scored on a 16-yard run at 5:25 and Crossan scored his third TD of the game on a 1-yard run with 2:58 to go to make it 36-7. Lehigh’s Troy Pelletier scored on a 20-yard pass from Brad Mayes with 1:43 left and the Mountain Hawks cut the lead to 36-21 early in the third quarter on a Nick Shafnisky three-yard run. The Wildcats answered with two touchdowns to push it to 50-21 at the end of the period.

UNH was eliminated from the NCAA Division I FCS tournament with the loss and finished the season with an 8-5 record. The Wildcats were competing in the FCS playoffs for a nation’s-best 13th straight season. They won their first-round game against Lehigh, 64-21, last Saturday in Wildcat Stadium to earn the shot against JMU in the second round. James Madison improves to 11-1 overall and advances to the quarterfinal round. The Dukes won the CAA regular season title with an 8-0 record. JMU junior quarterback Bryan Schor passed for 371 yards and five touchdowns. Senior defensive end Cam Shorey intercepted a pass to end JMU’s second possession early. He jumped to deflect the ball and made a nice play to catch the ball and set UNH up on the JMU 16-yard line. Crossan ripped off a 15-yard run and then scored on a 1-yard run and UNH led 7-0. The Dukes drove to a first down on the UNH 3-yard line, but the Wildcats’ D held and allowed only an 18-yard field goal. The Dukes outscored UNH 28-0 in the period to grab a 31-7 lead at the half. The Wildcats drove down the field on the opening possession of the second half and scored on a Crossan 14-yard TD run. Knight passed to Crossan for a two-point conversion and it was 31-15. The Dukes answered with three more touchdowns, including Ravenel’s 86-yard kickoff return after the Crossan score. Senior quarterback Adam Riese closed out the scoring with an 11-yard touchdown run with 20 seconds left in the game. Crossan finished the season with 1,281 yards, the sixth best UNH single season total ever. He had 2,617 rushing yards for his career. Crossan scored 10 rushing touchdowns and had four touchdown catches this year.

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 13 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES
THE COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION CAA Football has established itself as one of the nation’s premier FCS power conferences over the past decade due to its on-field success, broadcast exposure, marketability and the achievements of its student-athletes in the classroom, in the community and at the next level. James Madison capped an outstanding 2016 season for the conference by capturing the league’s sixth FCS national title with a 28-14 victory over Youngstown State. CAA Football sent four programs to the NCAA Division I Football Championship for the third straight season and each of them won at least one playoff game. In addition to the Dukes’ national title, New Hampshire extended the nation’s longest FCS playoff streak with its 13 straight appearance, Richmond advanced to the FCS quarterfinals for the second year in a row and Villanova earned a playoff berth for the sixth time in nine years. CAA Football continued its success against non-conference opponents in 2016, finishing 24-7 against FCS foes and 27-18 overall. The mark was the best of any FCS conference. The league posted a pair of victories over FBS competition for the first time since 2013 as Richmond knocked off ACC member Virginia, 37-20, and UAlbany defeated Buffalo, 22-16. CAA Football teams have now recorded 34 wins over FBS opponents in its history. A strong presence in the national rankings remained another constant for CAA Football in 2016. James Madison finished the year as the unanimous #1 team in the country, while Richmond, Villanova and New Hampshire were also ranked in the final FCS top 25 polls. Eleven different CAA teams were either ranked or receiving votes in the national polls at some point during the 2016 season. A total of 20 CAA Football players were named to one or more All-America teams in 2016, led by consensus first-team All-America selections, offensive lineman Mitchell Kirsch of James Madison and defensive lineman Tanoh Kpassagnon of Villanova. In addition, Towson’s Jake Ryder was chosen to the FCS ADA Academic All-America team. CAA Football continues to provide a path to the next level, with two players selected in the 2017 NFL Draft. Kpassagnon was drafted in the second round (59th overall) by the Kansas City Chiefs and Villanova offensive lineman Brad Seaton went to the Tennessee Titans in round seven. The conference has now had multiple players picked in each NFL Draft since 2006. CAA Football reached a national audience last fall with 30 regular-season games televised by various outlets. In addition, numerous others were distributed on CAA.tv. In 2015, the CAA’s national appeal was showcased when ESPN’s iconic College Gameday aired live from James Madison on Oct. 24 prior to the Dukes’ conference showdown with Richmond. It marked the show’s first trip to a CAA campus. CAA Football’s emphasis on its players’ off-the-field achievements was evident again in 2016. New Hampshire’s Casey DeAndrade was the recipient of the Chuck Boone Leadership Award, which honors the player who best embodies the highest standards of leadership, integrity, teamwork and sportsmanship in his academic and athletic pursuits. Towson’s Jake Ryder and New Hampshire’s Cam Shorey were selected as CAA Football’s Student-Athlete of the Year. Showing a desire to unite behind a common cause, all 12 CAA Football schools partnered with the Be the Match Foundation and its “Get in the Game, Save a Life” program in 2016. Former Villanova coach Andy Talley has been a driving force nationally for the program, which raises awareness of the need for bone marrow donors. CAA Football has enjoyed a tremendous record in the postseason, earning 98 total playoff berths and at least three in every year since 2006. The league’s 99 all-time wins in the NCAA playoffs are second-most of any FCS conference, and the league has further established its presence at the national level by placing 12 teams in the national semifinals over the past 11 seasons. James Madison’s national title in 2016 was the third in the past decade and sixth overall for CAA Football. Villanova captured the 2009 national championship and Richmond claimed its first FCS

Delaware rolled past Colgate, 40-0, to capture the first title-game shutout in 2003. Former league member Massachusetts earned a national championship in 1998.

The league remains successful beyond the collegiate playing field. CAA Football has had 113 players drafted by NFL franchises dating back to 1948. A total of 35 players have been selected in the draft over the last 12 years, including 2013 Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco of Delaware (18th overall to the Baltimore Ravens in 2008). More than 30 players currently join Flacco on active NFL rosters. CAA Football’s geographic footprint extends up and down the East Coast, with schools located from Maine to North Carolina. Members include UAlbany, Delaware, Elon, James Madison, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Richmond, Stony Brook, Towson, Villanova and William and Mary. Joe D’Antonio begins his second year as commissioner of CAA Football and the Colonial Athletic Association. While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date back more than 60 years. On December 3, 1946, the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Established as an all-sports conference for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except for football. Delaware and Richmond were admitted to the conference in 1986, Villanova was added in 1988 and James Madison, Northeastern and William and Mary joined the league in 1993. The Atlantic 10 assumed operational control of the conference from 1997-2006, with Hofstra becoming part of the league in 2001 and Towson joining the group in 2004. With the conference under the CAA Football banner, UAlbany and Stony Brook were welcomed in 2013, followed by Elon in 2014.

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 13 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES
UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
The University of New Hampshire was originally founded as a land-grant college whose mission was to shape and educate citizenry among the state’s farmers, business people and engineers. Today, the University is a land-, sea-, and space-grant university serving a growing undergraduate student body of about 11,942 and a graduate population of 2,257 in addition to 621 full-time faculty members, 86% of which have earned their doctorate degree. The University has grown into a top public research university occupying 2,600 acres of classic living and learning space while still maintaining the look and feel of a New England liberal arts college with a faculty dedicated to teaching. UNH’s student to faculty ratio registers at 18:1 with 85% of its classes having 50 students or less. HISTORY As one of the most prestigious institutions in the Northeast, the University of New Hampshire has always been recognized as a leader in education and research, spanning all fields of study and uniting them through interdisciplinary programs, labs, farms, theatres, research centers and libraries. Founded in 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, UNH was among the early state institutions of higher education whose formation was made possible by federal government land grants. The purpose for the grants was to establish colleges that would serve the sons and daughters of farming and laboring families. New Hampshire College was originally situated in Hanover, N.H. Here it was in connection with Dartmouth College before moving to Durham in 1893 after Benjamin Thompson bequeathed land and money to further the development of the college. The state legislature then granted its new charter as the University of New Hampshire in 1923. The University hosts 733 international students from more than 45 countries and boasts a population of students from all 50 states. Along with over 100 majors offered, UNH encompasses seven schools and colleges that undergraduates can choose from: the College of Liberal Arts, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, School of Health and Human Services, College of Life Sciences and Agricultures, Whittemore School of Business and Economics, and the Thompson School of Applied Science. At the very heart of the University’s undergraduate studies is the General Education Program. The GEP is a core program with a breadth of academic subjects that aims to acquaint the student with some of the major modes of thought necessary to understand oneself, others, society and the world.
University of New Hampshire Athletic Department Mission Statement and Diversity Statement Mission Statement The mission of the intercollegiate athletics program at the University of New Hampshire is to provide student-athletes a collegiate experience that is enriched by their participation in programs which are competitive at the NCAA Division I level both regionally and nationally.

To fulfill its mission, the intercollegiate program must: 1. Provide student-athletes every opportunity to meet academic and athletic demands with the goal of graduating every student-athlete. 2. Provide resources necessary to field competitive teams with league affiliations, and to gain regional and national recognition. 3.

UNH FOOTBALL – NATION-LEADING 13 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES
UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
The University prides itself as being a top-10 entrepreneurial campus (Forbes.com and The Princeton Review) and is among the top 30 universities nationally in science research funding from NASA. UNH is home to the NASA-recognized Space Science Center; the Institute for Study for Earth, Oceans and Space; and the Institute of Marine Science and Engineering. The English program is staffed by an inspiring faculty of winners of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the MacArthur Fellowship, the Edgar Allen Poe Award and the Young Poets Award. In addition, the Whittemore School of Business and Economics, established in 1962, was recently selected second among all business schools in a nationwide pool of business school deans. UNH also graduates students who attend top-notch graduate schools, including Law School at Harvard and Cornell, Engineering at Stanford, and Medical School at Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins and Harvard. CAMPUS In the last decade, several of the athletic facilities have received major upgrades and improvements. In September of 2001, the University completed a new $2.15 million track and field facility. The Jerry Azumah Performance Center, the strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House, was dedicated on July 8, 2003. UNH athletics has also added two $1.5 million outdoor artificial fields, Memorial Field and Bremner Field. Lundholm Gymnasium has received some major overhauls, including a new playing surface, new lights, new sound system, new bleacher system, new backboards and new scoreboards. The Paul Sweet Oval has been completely renovated to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture. In 2013, UNH unveiled the new Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics. The $50 million building came is LEED “Gold” certified, a standard of environmentally friendly design and construction. The project was largely funded through private gifts, including a record-setting $25 million gift from alumnus and philanthropist Peter T. Paul, for whom the building is named. The building has 900 classroom seats with thousands of business and non-business students coming in and out each day. Breakout rooms equipped with video screens and recording equipment provide advanced technology to enhance the way students interact with each other, faculty and members of the business community. Its Great Hall features comfortable seating areas for studying, and an on-site café supplies students with a convenient dining option. Thompson Hall, one of the standing historical landmarks of the University, has been beautifully refurbished and restored. The University also completed a $52 million renovation of Kingsbury Hall, adding 6,000 square feet of student project space for students in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, as well as a $4.5 million revamp of Hewitt Hall to expand the School of Health and Human Services. In addition, the new 120,000 square foot Biological Sciences Building, Rudman Hall and the Spaulding Life Sciences Renovation project now provide state-of-the-art teaching and researching laboratories. The University also spent $15 million to complete Morse Hall, a science and engineering building as well as $8.2 million to modernize the Memorial Union Building. This revision to the existing student union building consisted of several upgrades including top kitchen and dining facilities, two theaters, student mailboxes, lounges and meeting rooms, as well as additional retail spaces such as the University Bookstore. The University has also completed construction of the new dining facility on Main Street, Holloway Commons, as well as the renovation of the Dimond Library. In November of 1995, construction of the $27 million Recreation and Sport Complex reached completion. The Whittemore Center includes a stateof-the-art 6,500 to 7,500 seat arena for hockey, concerts and convocations, as well as a three-level recreational sports facility within the structure that had housed the old Snively Arena. Combining the atmosphere of a small New England liberal arts college with the resources and opportunities of a major research university, the University of New Hampshire is a place where all students can find or create their own niche and succeed. While the University offers an extremely broad academic base with an inspiring faculty, it also provides students with thousands of opportunities to get involved, either through athletics, campus recreation, student life, or research. The University is a dynamic community that not only challenges its members academically but also expands their understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity and leads to incredible growth as students, faculty, staff, and as a community.

PRESIDENT
THE ADMINISTRATION
Mark W. Huddleston was elected the 19th president of the University of New Hampshire in July 2007, bringing three decades of experience in public and private education as a faculty member, dean and senior administrator. At UNH, President Huddleston oversees the implementation of a strategic plan that is transforming the University’s mission as the state’s flagship public research university and one of the nation’s few land-, sea- and space-grant universities. Created through a collaboration of faculty, students, staff, alumni and the University’s wider communities, this effort challenges the University to be innovative, entrepreneurial and responsive so that it can remain vital and financially sustainable. The plan continues to guide the University’s diverse work, from its response to a historic cut in state support in 2011 to the creation of groundbreaking new initiatives. Among these are: • the integration of UNH and the UNH School of Law (formerly Franklin Pierce Law Center), • an expansion of the UNH Manchester campus and the creation of the Emerging Technology Center, • the construction of the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics, • UNH’s participation in an agreement to double the number of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) graduates by 2025, • and the development of a comprehensive fund raising campaign. President Huddleston has also advocated for a dramatic increase in international engagement. In 2010, UNH launched the state’s only Confucius Institute with a partnership with Chengdu University, entered a partnership with Navitas, an Australian firm that recruits and supports international students, and celebrated the 25th anniversary of the International Affairs Dual Major. In May 2013, President Huddleston’s leadership as a strategic thinker, fiscal steward and collaborative problem-solver was recognized with his appointment to the newly formed Governor’s Commission on State Government Innovation, Efficiency and Transparency. Huddleston has announced that he is vacating the presidency at the conclusion of the 2017-18 academic year. President Huddleston was raised in Syracuse, N.Y., and was the first member of his family to attend college. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from the State University of New York-Buffalo, and both a master’s degree and Ph.D. in political science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He began his academic career at SUNY-Buffalo in 1977 as an assistant professor of political science. In 1980, he joined the faculty of the University of Delaware, where he served 24 years. There, he chaired the Department of Political Science and International Relations and was associate provost for international programs. In 2001, he was named dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, overseeing 45 academic departments and centers, and serving in that capacity until he was named president of Ohio Wesleyan University in 2004. An author of numerous books and articles, he has been a consultant for both the U.S. government and international organizations. He also served as an adviser in Bosnia on rebuilding financial and administrative infrastructures after the Dayton accords. President Huddleston is an incorporator of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and serves on the board of directors of the New Hampshire Business Committee for the Arts. He and his wife, Emma Bricker, have three children, Andy, Kate and Giles.

THE ADMINISTRATION
DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS
The 2017-18 academic year marks the 18th year Marty Scarano is serving as the director of athletics at the University of New Hampshire. During his tenure, Scarano has heightened national exposure for UNH athletics with academics, facility renovations and programmatic advancement being top priorities. There has been over $41 million in capital improvements since Scarano’s hiring in the summer of 2000. The largest-scale renovation – Wildcat Stadium, a $25 million athletic complex that is home to multiple UNH teams and multi-purposed for other events – was completed in August 2016. The structure, built on the west side of Mooradian Field, offers increased and improved seating, state-of-the-art broadcast capability, concessions and restrooms, as well as a 30’ by 50’ video board. A new astroplay surface was installed in summer 2017. In July 2017, the University announced the approval of a new soccer and lacrosse facility that will be built adjacent to Wildcat Stadium on the site of Lewis Field. In the spring of 2015, UNH finished construction on the $2 million Watkins Center for Student-Athlete Excellence at the Field House for its Division I and Northeast Passage studentathletes, funded entirely on private donations. That fall, the Whittemore Center – home to both ice hockey teams and site of the 2016 Women’s Frozen Four – received a substantial facelift ($1.3 million) in the form of a four-sided, center-hung video board, a high resolution end zone
board and LED display band. Scarano has helped elevate UNH athletics onto the collegiate national stage. To accomplish that goal, the University has taken on the task of hosting many major NCAA championships and that includes the 2017 NCAA Skiing Championships. Also 2017, UNH hosted the Men’s Ice Hockey Northeast Regional at the Verizon Wireless Arena (Manchester, N.H.) – for the seventh time the past 14 years – and assisted Hockey East with the Men’s Ice Hockey Frozen Four at TD Garden (Boston, Mass). UNH was host of the NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey Frozen Four at the Whittemore Center in 2002, 2005 and 2016. In addition, UNH successfully hosted the 2007 NCAA Skiing Championships in Washington Valley as well as the 2005 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Northeast Regional at the Whittemore Center. The NCAA recently announced that UNH will host another NCAA men’s ice hockey regional in 2019 as well as a women’s gymnastics regional in 2021. The women’s hockey team played in the first outdoor game in the history of NCAA women’s hockey in 2010 at the Sun Life Frozen Fenway game and defeated Northeastern, while the men’s squad played at Fenway Park in ’12 and ‘17. Football also competed in Colonial Clash games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., in 2010 and 2011; the Wildcats were victorious on both occasions against the University of Massachusetts. Student-athletes have excelled both in academics and athletics during Scarano’s tenure. A total of eight UNH teams (men’s cross country, women’s cross country, football, gymnastics, women’s soccer, men’s track & field, women’s track & field and volleyball) received NCAA Public Recognition for posting a multi-year Academic Progress Rate score in the top 10 percent of their respective sport, and five squads received a perfect score in the NCAA Academic Progress Rate. UNH has won the America East Academic Cup each of the last three years (2015, 2016, 2017) by recording the highest GPA among all conference student-athletes; the Wildcats placed the highest number of representatives on the America East Fall Academic Honor Roll seven consecutive years and then had the highest percentage of representatives on the Winter/Spring Honor Roll. New Hampshire won four sport-specific Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards in addition to the Female ScholarAthlete of the Year in 2016-17.

JERRY AZUMAH PERFORMANCE CENTER
As a starting tailback at the University of New Hampshire, Jerry Azumah ‘99 earned a reputation as an unstoppable record-breaker. By the time he graduated from the University and joined the Chicago Bears as a fifth-round draft pick, he had already smashed four NCAA FCS career records and been awarded the Walter Payton Award for his outstanding achievement as the nation’s top offensive player. At the age of 25, he did it again. With a gift to fund the Jerry Azumah Athletic Performance Center, he was the youngest UNH alum on record to give a gift of more than $100,000 to his alma mater. The gift provided funding for the renovation and complete overhaul, including state-of-the-art equipment of the University’s strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House. The Azumah Performance Center opened in the summer of 2003. The massive workout facility, which was originally 4,000 square feet, grew to over 6,000 square feet during a summer renovation in 2009. The renovated center features 5,000 pounds of Olympic weights, 7,000 pounds of dumbbells, 18 Powerlift platform stations, 12 Hammer strength machines, an additional 15,000 pounds of weights and 1,500 square feet of warmup area. “His National Football League profile will tell you that Jerry Azumah was 5-11, weighed 195, and played defensive cornerback with the Chicago Bears,” said Marty Scarano, University of New Hampshire athletic director. “What those statistics miss is the size of Jerry Azumah’s heart. We are so proud to have Jerry’s name affiliated with the University of New Hampshire. Jerry was a leader while attending UNH and continues to set a great example as a graduate.” Azumah is the son of Theophilius and Bertha Azumah, natives of Ghana who settled in Worcester, Mass. He came to UNH in 1995 as a freshman, majored in sociology, and minored in justice studies. “My scholarship at UNH allowed me to pursue my interests in the classroom, build a successful college football career and changed my life on every level,” Azumah said. “I’m pleased to be able to make a major contribution to my university and to bring new opportunities to today’s student-athletes.” During his four years at UNH, Azumah was an All-American tailback and has been referred to as a player who comes along once in a coach’s lifetime by former UNH football coach Bill Bowes. He holds numerous school records, including the record for touchdowns rushing (60) and overall TDs (69), and FCS records for rushing yards (6,193), all-purpose yards (8,376) and points scored (424). He had the six best – and eight of the top 10 – UNH rushing games ever and holds the all-time FCS rushing record of 6,193 yards. At that time, he was the only runner in FCS history to have four 1,000-yard seasons. Azumah is one of the only players in the history of the NFL to make the transition from offense to being a starting cornerback. In 2003, he became the first Wildcat to ever play in the Pro Bowl, where he excelled as a return specialist. He was a full-time starter at cornerback from 2001 through 2005 and made significant contributions on defense. Azumah holds the distinction of being the last Chicago Bear to score a touchdown at Soldier Field when he intercepted Donovan McNabb in a divisional playoff game versus the Philadelphia Eagles and ran 39 yards for a touchdown Jan. 19, 2002. The play gave the Bears a 14-13 lead in the third quarter. Azumah announced his retirement from NFL football in 2006 due to injuries, but he continues to keep in touch with his alma mater and is always looking for new ways he can help the University, the athletic department and the Wildcat football program.
The James H. “Red” Hayes Locker Room Solely for the use of the football players and staff is the James H. “Red” Hayes Football Locker Room, located on the bottom level of the Field House adjacent to Wildcat Stadium. Constructed in 1988, the locker room was a gift of Red Hayes (‘32), a former Wildcat player under legendary coach William Cowell who went on to a successful business career and gave distinguished service to the State of New Hampshire. The locker room features 110 separate lockers that accommodate each player’s equipment and uniform, as well as a players’ lounge adjacent to the locker area. Locker room renovations during the summer of 2012 led to the installation of a new lighting system, the addition of a 55-inch flat screen TV and Fathead-designed murals (pictured right) featuring historical Wildcat moments. The Brice-Cowell Musket (below), which goes to the winner of the annual UNH-Maine gridiron battle, resides on the wall of the locker room. A locker memorial for Todd Walker was added in honor of the former Wildcat who suffered an untimely and heroic death in March 2011 while protecting a female friend. The locker room received another facelift in summer 2017.
