RAPHAEL CERRATO

HEAD COACH FIFTH SEASON RECORD OVERALL: 105-79 (.571) CONFERENCE RECORD: 67-43 (.609) ALMA MATER: RHODE ISLAND, 1994 Raphael Cerrato enters his fifth season as head coach of the University of New Haven baseball team in 2011. During his three years at UNH, Cerrato has posted a record of 10579, including a 67-43 conference mark. In 2009, the Chargers joined the Northeast-10 Conference and instantly made their presence by earning a trip to the conference tournament semi-finals. Last season, UNH completed the regular season in third place and earned a selection to the NCAA Tournament, its first appearance since the 2006 season. Furthermore, standout closer Mitch Rossi collected All-America honors, another feat that hadn’t been accomplished in three years. In 2008, standout catcher Michael Moras conclude an outstanding career at UNH and has drafted in the 20th round of the MLB First-Year Player Draft. UNH had four players earn All-Conference recognition and fell one win short of the conference championship finishing with a 24-25 record. After a very difficult early season schedule the team rebounded and advanced to the conference championship game. In Cerrato’s first season (2007), Tommy Myette, in his only season as a Charger, broke the school’s single-season batting record by leading the nation at .503. David Anderson broke the school’s single-season home runs record with 17. UNH had two First Team and two Second Team All-Conference award winners, two Daktronics Third Team All-Americans, and one ABCA/Rawlings First Team All-Northeast Region. Cerrato became just the second head coach in the history of the UNH baseball program on July 1, 2006. He replaced Frank “Porky” Vieira, who founded the Charger baseball program and served UNH for 44 years. Cerrato joined Vieira’s staff as UNH’s associate head coach in June of 2005 following a five-

year stint as an assistant coach at Brown University. He served as the Bears’ hitting, outfield and infield instructor and coordinated student-athlete recruitment. In 2006, Cerrato helped UNH post a 35-12 overall record, win the New York Collegiate Athletic Conference’s regular season title and advance to the NCAA Championship Tournament for the 26th time in the program’s history. According to Vieira, the New Haven baseball program is in good hands. Said Vieira, “Raphael is one of the best young coaches in the business. He is sharp as a tack in his knowledge of all parts of the game, and most importantly, he has created a great relationship with our players which is a big part of a winning program.” Before his time at Brown, Cerrato served as the top assistant at the University of Massachusetts for three years, coordinating recruiting and the organization of UMass youth clinics. He has also served as the head coach of the Rhode Island Gulls of the New England Collegiate Baseball League, a prestigious summer league sanctioned by the NCAA and funded by Major League Baseball. In addition, he spent time as the assistant baseball coach at his alma mater, the University of Rhode Island, and worked as an assistant coach with the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of the Northeastern Collegiate Baseball League. A 1994 graduate of the University of Rhode Island with a Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education and Health, Raphael was a member of the URI baseball team from 1989-1993. He was an All-Conference performer in 1992 and was the Rams’ captain in 1993. Cerrato is a native of Enfield, Connecticut and currently resides in East Haven.

The Northeast-10 enters its 30th year as there is little surprise why the Northeast-10 Conference has continued to grow stronger year by year since it’s inception and now stands as a model conference of NCAA Division II. The conference was built from the ground up with strong cornerstones and a vision of becoming the premier Division II NCAA athletic conference in the nation. A quick look around the league today will tell even the casual observer that the NE-10 has done so. The conference is a powerful union of strong academic and athletic colleges and universities that incorporates 16 institutions from New York and New England. The NE-10 sponsors the most championship sports of any Division II conference in the nation. The Northeast-10 can look to a long history of successes – the growth from seven original schools to more than double its size 20 years later – the contention for and winning of national championships – the change in league structure from on-campus administration to a central governing location – the anticipation of, coping with and addition of modern technology - the recognition of student-athlete performances in the classroom where the real competitions are played out – all of them have been built thanks to the hard work and dedication through the years of thousands of people who have, at one time or another, called the Northeast-10 home for their athletics program or their livelihood. The NE-10 history began with the vision of a few good men and women. It was back in 1979 that a handful of athletics directors realized that the world of college athletics was changing and that they, and their programs, would have to change as well. In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s the NCAA began to emphasize the importance of conferences in organizing competition and determining bids to NCAA national tournaments. The NCAA required six teams to be recognized as a conference in order to award championships, and the creation of national tournaments with automatic qualifiers to league champions became a new goal towards which teams could strive.

The founding fathers of the NE-10 were only happy to comply. Thus, a handful of athletic directors at smaller schools, classified Division II and of similar scope, academic makeup and athletic abilities hatched the idea of a new athletics conference in New England. Therefore, on October 9, 1979, a simple press release announced that a new unnamed Division II conference was being formed. Eight months later, at the Pleasant Valley Country Club in Springfield, Mass., the league was publicly announced. The Northeast-7 Conference established instant credibility in its membership and that credibility led to a slow but continued expansion through the years. The admittance of Saint Anselm in 1981 created the Northeast-8. In 1984, Hartford joined the ECAC Division I North Atlantic Conference but was immediately replaced by Merrimack.

The “Northeast-10” name came about when Saint Michael’s and Quinnipiac joined the league in 1987 and the conference remained stable until 1995 when Springfield left for Division III. The league stayed at 10 members as Le Moyne joined the league in 1996 from the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) and briefly expanded to 11 when Pace joined in 1998 from the New York Collegiate Athletic Conference (NYCAC). Quinnipiac elevated to the Division I Northeast Conference (NEC) to again return the foundation of 10 until the last major expansion took place prior to 2001 when five new schools joined the fold. Franklin Pierce, Southern New Hampshire University (formerly New Hampshire College), the University of Massachusetts Lowell and Southern Connecticut State University were joined by the College of Saint Rose. In 2008, Bryant University departed for Division I and the University of New Haven immediately to replace Bryant in all sports, maintaining a 15 institutions in the conference. Adelphi University, becomes the newest member of the conference this year, bringing membership to 16 full-time institutions.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHARGER BASEBALL: 48 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE ... AND COUNTING Compiling a complete history of University of New Haven Baseball would take far more than one page, and the countless stories could go on and on, so we’ll call this a “Brief History” of Charger Baseball.

UNH Baseball: By The Numbers Seasons: 48 (1963 - 2010) All-Time Record: 1,232 - 403 - 6 (1,641) Winning Percentage: 75.1% Regional Appearances: 32 (27 NCAA, 5 NAIA) World Series Berths: 17 (15 NCAA, 2 NAIA) Postseason Wins: 81 (2nd all-time) Consec. Winning Seasons: 42 (1963-2004) Winning Seasons Overall: 46 All-American Awards: 39 All-Region Awards: 77

The University of New Haven has one of the most storied baseball programs in the history of NCAA Division II. Ask any fan of UNH Baseball, or really any fan of a team in the Northeast, and they’ll tell you that a discussion of Charger Baseball begins and ends with one man - legendary former head coach Frank “Porky” Vieira. The New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) and the East Coast Conference (ECC). Vieira is the true “father” of the UNH Baseball program, and until the 2007 season, the only Over the program’s first 45 seasons, UNH coach the school had ever known. He founded Baseball has made 31 Regional Tournament the program in 1963. Under Vieira, who retired appearances (26 NCAA, 5 NAIA) and earned 17 following the 2006 season, the UNH baseball College World Series berths (15 NCAA, 2 NAIA). program posted an all-time record of 1,127-324- UNH has 81 postseason wins in all, the third6 in 44 seasons. That included a string of 42 most of any school in NCAA Division II history, straight winning seasons from 1963 to 2004, and advanced to the College World Series a and 43 winning seasons overall. school-record seven consecutive times from 1984 to 1990. The team’s best finishes came No matter how you break down the numbers, as NCAA Runners-Up in 1980 and 1989, when Vieira is one of the all-time greatest in the college game.

UNH fell to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, which later had its participation vacated due to ineligible players. Coach Vieira is the first one to tell you that a great coach can’t do anything without great players - and UNH has certainly had its share. UNH has produced over 80 players who have gone on to play professional baseball, including 10 players who made it to Major League Baseball. Notably, UNH is one of only 14 schools to have produced a player that would later go on to win the Major League Baseball Cy Young Award. Former Charger great Steve Bedrosian went on to earn the NL Cy Young award while a member of the Philadelphia Phillies in 1987, saving 40 of the team’s 80 wins that season. Cameron Drew was the program’s first-ever First Round Draft Pick with his selection in 1985. Dave Wallace has been a respected professional coach since 1981, and won a World Series as pitching coach with the Boston Red Sox in 2004. This list goes on and on. (For a more complete list of players in the pros, see the “Chargers in the Pros” page in the back of this media guide) Even some of those players who didn’t go on to play professionally had standout careers on the diamond for UNH. Further evidence of the Chargers’ contributions to the sport can be found in the NCAA Record Book, where you’ll see the words “New Haven” 34 times among the various team and individual records.

At the start of the 2010 season, he is third among all-time Division II coaches with a career winning percentage of .776, and third among D-II coaches in total victories. “Coach V” also ranks eighth on the all-time, all-division coaching records list in terms of winning percentage and 31st in total wins. He is one of only 33 coaches to ever win at least 1,100 games at any division of college baseball. Vieira’s achievements have not gone unrecognized by the media or his peers. Featured in several publications including Sports Illustrated, he received the “Gold Key” from the Connecticut Sports Writers Association and was named Coach of the Year numerous Over 250 people, including 45 former players and coaches, turned out on December 8, 2006 to times for the NCAA Northeast Region as well as help send Coach Vieira off into retirement with a “Toast & Roast” Celebration.

Steven H. Kaplan, Ph.D., University President Steven H. Kaplan, Ph.D., became the sixth president of the University of New Haven (UNH) on July 1, 2004. Dr. Kaplan joined a nearly 85-yearold institution dedicated to experiential education. With enrollment of over 5,200 undergraduate and graduate students representing more than 35 states and some 45 countries, UNH has several nationally ranked programs in a number of majors in business, engineering, public safety, and the liberal arts and sciences. Dr. Kaplan was presented to the community in March 2004 by then Board of Governors Chairman Robert Alvine, who characterized the president-designate as energetic, well-liked and respected, focused and remarkably effective in mobilizing an institution’s resources to achieve target results. His highest priorities are strengthening the University’s endowment, growing enrollment to optimum levels, and engendering an atmosphere for excellence among all constituencies. He has focused on establishing strong relationships with members and organizations within UNH’s circle of constituents – faculty, students, administrators, alumni, friends, campus neighbors and leaders of Connecticut’s business and public service communities. As president, he oversees a faculty of nearly 400, 530 staff, and an annual budget of $84 million. Previously, Dr. Kaplan was chancellor and professor of English at the University of Virginia’s College at

Wise, Virginia, the only four-year branch campus of the University of Virginia and one of the nation’s best public colleges, according to U. S. News & World Report.

fiction with the University of South Carolina Press, and an anthology of international war stories with the University Press of Colorado.

Dr. Kaplan began his teaching career in 1982 as an Instructor of English at the University of Maryland, European Division. From 1985-1989, he served as Visiting Lecturer in American Studies at Eberhard-Karls Universitat, Tübingen, Germany – one of the oldest and most highly regarded universities in Europe. After completing his doctoral studies at Eberhard-Karls Universität, he returned to the U.S. to teach English at the University of Southern Colorado. Within three years, he was made department chair, serving in that capacity for two years before becoming Director of the Center for International Studies.

Dr. Kaplan and his wife, Anemone Schweizer-Kaplan, are both ardent opera buffs and love to ballroom dance, hike, and downhill ski. They share a great love for the visual and performing arts and have traveled to over twenty-five countries in twenty-five years, including Tanzania where they hiked up Mt. Kilimanjaro.

The department will provide growth opportunities to achieve in a nationally competitive intercollegiate program that attracts, nurtures and graduates student-athletes who under the guidance of a quality staff, represent the University of New Haven with character and integrity while achieving academic excellence, serving the community and pursuing excellence in their respective sports. DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS PHILOSOPHY Higher education has lasting importance on an individual’s future success. For this reason, the emphasis for the student-athlete experience at the University of New Haven is a comprehensive program of learning and development in a personal setting. As an NCAA Division II program, our approach provides growth opportunities through academic achievement, learning in high-level athletic competition and development of positive societal attitudes in service to community. The balance and integration of these different areas of learning opportunity provide our student-athletes a path to graduation while cultivating a variety of skills and knowledge for life ahead. The University of New Haven seeks to provide the world with leaders who can make a positive difference in a global society. Studentathletes are afforded unique opportunities for leadership because of the visibility provided through athletics competition. UNH’s intercollegiate program provides opportunities for its student-athletes to develop moral virtues, such as courage, self-confidence, and integrity and to learn communication and teamwork skills associated with outstanding leadership. Thus the Department of Athletics helps the University satisfy its primary aspiration, which is to prepare students to lead purposeful and fulfilling lives in a global society through experiential, collaborative, and discovery-based learning. The Department of Athletics is committed to delivering intercollegiate athletics programs that are consistent with the University’s mission and generates the trust and support of its various constituencies. The goal of the department is to field sports teams that compete successfully against other NCAA Division II teams while upholding the academic standards of the University of New Haven. The department is also committed to conducting its programs in strict adherence to the policies, rules and regulations set by the University’s administration, Board of Governors, the NCAA and the Northeast-10 Conference. Through its programs, the department gives its student-athletes of different genders, races, religions, national origins and sexual orientation opportunities to participate in intercollegiate competition. The intercollegiate program will function free of discrimination with a University commitment to the adherence to Title IX and the Office of Civil Rights guidelines. A major goal of the Department of Athletics is to help student-athletes realize the full potential of their athletic abilities while also increasing their intellectual capabilities and providing them a meaningful opportunity to earn a baccalaureate degree. The department will not compromise its commitment to educate and graduate its student-athletes. Department of Athletics personnel are expected to represent the University in a manner consistent with UNH’s principles and values. All personnel are expected to perform their responsibilities with the highest standards of integrity, ethical behavior and sportsmanship at all times. Coaches and staff are expected to treat student-athletes fairly and with respect and to facilitate leadership that helps them mature physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially.
