CHARGER FOOTBALL

A WINNING TRADITION

2013 OUTLOOK

The Charger football program was reestablished in 2009 and the program’s winning tradition began right where it left off. Led by the 2012 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year, Peter Rossomando, the Chargers have won three-straight Northeast-10 Conference Championships and advanced to the NCAA tournament each of the previous two seasons.

2012 REVIEW

After a five-year hiatus, the 2009 season marked the football program’s 32nd season and was the first year since the conclusion of the 2003 campaign that UNH fielded a team. The return of the football was of great interest and excitement to University of New Haven students, alumni, fans and friends of athletics.

HISTORY & RECORDS

Charger football has a storied tradition of gridiron success, including six NCAA Division II playoff appearances. The program posts an all-time record of 205-140-5 in 35 seasons, including a 176-98-1 mark after moving to the Division II level in 1982.

THE UNIVERSITY

When the Charger football team advanced to the NCAA Championship game in 1997, with Rossomando serving as defensive line coach, UNH was at that time the smallest school in NCAA history to play for a national title. UNH also advanced to the NCAA semifinals in 1992 and the quarterfinals in 1993, 1995 and 2011. In addition to team success, many individuals in UNH Football history have earned national and regional accolades. UNH had 126 All-New England award winners in 19 seasons between 1983 and 2001, and 63 All-ECAC picks during the same time period. Perhaps the program’s most famous alum is running back Roger

Graham, who won Division II’s most prestigious award - the Harlon Hill Trophy - after leading the NCAA in scoring and ranking second in rushing in 1993. UNH has had a player finish in the top four in the Harlon Hill voting on five occasions. UNH has a proud tradition of coaches that have gone on to find great success in the professional and college ranks as well. Tony Sparano, who led UNH to the 1997 national championship game and is second all-time in victories at UNH, is currently the assistant head coach and offensive line for the NFL’s Oakland Raiders. Chris Palmer (coach, 1986-87) has been an NFL head coach, NFL quarterback coach and most recently the offensive coordinator for the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. The program’s all-time wins leader, Mark Whipple (coach, 1988-93), piloted UMass to a Division I-AA national championship in 1998 and won a Super Bowl as quarterbacks coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Whipple was most recently the quarterback coach for the NFL’s Cleveland Browns. In four short seasons back on the gridiron, the Chargers have made their presence known across the collegiate football world. New Haven was ranked as high as No. 3 in the AFCA Coaches Poll in 2012, after winning their third-straight conference championship and advancing to the NCAA Division II playoffs. A finalist in 2011, Rossomando was named the 2012 Liberty Mutual Division II National Coach of the Year for his sportsmanship, integrity, responsibility and excellence on and off the field. Additionally, numerous studentathletes earned postseason accolades and three earned tryouts for NFL teams.

2013 SEASON PREVIEW

The three-time Northeast-10 Conference Champions will attempt to make it four in a row in 2013. The Chargers, despite losses all over the field, look to make another run at the NCAA tournament this season. With four offensive starters returning and four defensive starters returning, the 2013 squad will feature a lot of new faces. Ranked No. 12 in the preseason coaches’ poll and No. 19 in the D2Football.com poll, the Chargers begin the season with the highest ranking since the program returned in 2009.

Saturday, Nov. 16. The top seeded team will host the second seed in a true championship game format. The remaining teams will also play games in the final weekend of the regular season. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth seeded teams will host the seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th seeded teams, respectively. The NCAA Division II Football Championship tournament begins on Saturday, Nov. 23 with the first round, while the Division II Champion will be crowded on Saturday, Dec. 21 at Braly Municipal Stadium in Florence, Ala.

THE SCHEDULE The 2013 season will officially kickoff on Saturday, Sept. 7 with a non-conference showdown with perennial Pennsylvania State Athletics Conference power West Chester University. The Chargers will travel to West Chester, Pa. for the opener for the 14th meeting between the two schools. The matchup has a rich history, dating back to 1990, with New Haven holding an 8-4-1 record against the Golden Rams. The two teams last met in 2011 at DellaCamera Stadium and the Chargers pulled off a 35-32 overtime victory in the season opener. The NE-10 schedule gets underway in week two with New Haven’s home opener against Pace University on Saturday, Sept. 14. UNH leads the four-year series with the Setters 4-0 since 2009. UNH is also 4-0 in home openers since bringing back the program in 2009. The conference games will then continue in the remainder of the regular season for New Haven. In week three, the Chargers travel to Saint Anselm for a Saturday night game in Manchester, N.H. at Grappone Stadium. The Chargers are 3-1 against the Hawks since joining the conference in 2009. New Haven then returns home to take on LIU Post (formerly C.W. Post) in the teams’ first-ever conference battle. The 2013 season will mark the first year for the Pioneers as a member of the NE-10, bringing the total number of regular season conference games to nine. LIU Post holds a 3-0 record against UNH dating back to 1983. As the season takes full swing, New Haven will travel to Assumption College in the first weekend of October. One of three night games on New Haven’s 2013 schedule, the Chargers and Greyhounds will play Friday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. in Worcester, Mass. New Haven plays back-to-back road games as it travels to North Andover, Mass. for a meeting with Merrimack College in week six. The Chargers hold a 3-1 record against the Warriors since first meeting in 2009. The Chargers will then host homecoming at DellaCamera Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 19 against Stonehill College. New Haven has held the upper hand in the four year series with the Skyhawks, but last year’s game in Easton, Mass. went down to the final seconds as UNH scored the go-ahead touchdown with six second on the clock. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. The Elm City Trophy will be awarded in week eight with the Chargers traveling to crosstown rival Southern Connecticut State University on Friday, Oct. 25. The third night game on the schedule will kickoff at 7 p.m. at Jess Dow Field. UNH and SCSU have a storied history dating back to 1981. New Haven holds a 16-6-1 record against the Owls, including three straight wins. The November schedule includes two NE-10 home games for the Chargers. American International travels to West Haven on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 1 p.m. The Chargers and Yellow Jackets have met 18 times since 1983 with UNH holding a 12-6 advantage in the series. Bentley University will round out the regular season for the Chargers on Saturday, Nov. 9 at DellaCamera Stadium. UNH and Bentley have also met every year since 2009 and the Chargers hold a 3-1 record against the Falcons. For the second straight season, the NE-10 Conference will host a championship weekend on

QUARTERBACKS Senior Ronnie Nelson will assume the full-time starting duties under center for the first time in his career, though he has appeared in all but one game over the past three seasons. Nelson saw action in all 10 games last fall, including four starts in place of injured Ryan Osiecki. He was 71-for-103 passing for 987 yards with 18 touchdown passes and just three interceptions. Nelson also ran the option for the Chargers to the tune of 266 yards and three rushing touchdowns. For his career, Nelson averages 5.5 yards per carry.

Joey Bradley is Coach Rossomando’s No. 2 signal caller in his first season at New Haven. The junior transfer from the University of North Dakota started seven games for the Fighting Sioux in 2011, compiled 791 yards and three touchdowns through the air and another score on the ground. RUNNING BACKS A 2013 Preseason All-America selection by D2Football.com and a First Team All-Northeast-10 honoree last fall, Mike DeCaro helms a stable of Charger rushers in his senior season. DeCaro, who also tops the depth chart as a kick returner, accounted for a team-high 616 rushing yards with seven touchdowns on the ground in addition to hauling in 22 passes for 224 yards and three scores in 2012. He also averaged 27.3 yards per kick return last fall, punctuated by a program-record 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the Northeast-10 Championship Game against American International. Anthony Tillman has rushed for over 300 yards in each of the last two seasons and will return for his final campaign in Blue and Gold as a second option in the running game. Tillman has broken the plane four times in his career and has also collected 17 receptions for 121 yards through the air. New Haven boasts additional experience in the backfield with Trevor Officer and Brian Alston both returning to the fold in 2013. WIDE RECEIVERS After losing four student-athletes who accounted for 128 catches, 1,865 yards and 26 touchdowns last season, the wide receiving corps looks to reload with graduate student Nick Music leading the way. Music owns the most collegiate experience of the bunch with 32 grabs for 331 yards and two touchdowns over the past three seasons. He will be joined by Roshawn Wilson and Ty Headen as the starting wideouts with Henry Adegunle and Rishawn Harris and Andre Anderson providing additional depth in the passing game.

SIX NCAA APPEARANCES • THREE-TIME NE-10 CHAMPIONS

The third defensive tackle, who will continue to rotate heavily with Berglund and Harris, is graduate student Alex Dyer. Dyer had 1.5 sacks as a part of 7.5 tackles-for-loss, a forced fumble and a blocked kick in 2012. Jelani Blandin is expected to be a factor up front after making six tackles in eight appearances last season.

SPECIAL TEAMS The Chargers will look to freshman Brian Roberts to take over for AllNE-10 placekicker Chris Scifo. Roberts was a First Team All-Ahmerst Bee specialist as a senior at Amherst Central High School.

Rushing off the edge for the New Haven defense is senior Brent MacLeod. MacLeod picked up six sacks in 2012 with 10 total tackles-for-loss and an interception. Kervin Edouard will move from linebacker to the front four to start at the other defensive end position. Edouard made 12 tackles with a pass breakup and one sack in an injury-shortened campaign last fall.

Nick Music is slotted as New Haven’s primary long snapper with Greenfield as the holder for field goals and PATs. Chris Higgins and Brandon Fowler are the backups at those respective positions. RETURNERS Mike DeCaro will be receiving both punts and kickoffs, with Ty Headen joining him for kick returns. Trevor Officer and Roshawn Wilson both appear on the depth chart as return specialists as well.

Providing depth at the linebacker position are senior Sherwood Jonathas and two Chargers slated to see game action for the first time

LINEBACKERS The linebacking corps is led by senior Matthew Fallico, who made 48 tackles with two sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery last season. He will be joined in the starting lineup by converted safety Jacob Weaver, who appeared in seven games last season, and graduate student Andre Lawrence, a three-year letterwinner at Boston College.

HISTORY & RECORDS

Two more defensive ends will take to the turf at DellaCamera Stadium for the first time. Ralph Jonathas was a redshirt as a freshman last fall, and junior Michael Intrieri is a transfer from Dean College, where he was a First Team All-New England Football Conference honoree.

Anthony Greenfield will handle the punting duties once again this fall. The junior averaged 37.4 yards per punt in 38 opportunities, landing 15 inside the 20-yard line and booming three punts for at least 50 yards.

2012 REVIEW

Rounding out the defense is rover Heberns Antenor, who will line up at linebacker, safety and nickel back in different situations. Antenor rated second in tackles – and tops among returners – with 51 stops last fall. He also forced and recovered one fumble and recorded five pass breakups. Kendall Marks will also see time as the Chargers’ rover.

DEFENSIVE LINE Sean Berglund will be back in the middle of the Chargers’ front four at one defensive tackle slot. The senior had four sacks and eight total tackles-for-loss with a pair of forced fumbles. He will be alongside junior Drake Harris, who notched 2.5 sacks and forced a fumble last fall.

SECONDARY Locking down the outside for Coach Daleen and the Chargers’ defense will be senior Rodney Lanham and freshman Najae Brown. Lanham made 22 tackles last fall with two pass breakups, a fumble Brandon Ruberti, also a key member of the kicking game, will see recovery and a punt blocked and returned for a touchdown.

GAME RECAP: WEST HAVEN, Conn. - University of New Haven senior quarterback Ronnie Nelson (Stuart, Fla./South Fork ) threw for six touchdowns and 255 yards to lead the nationally ranked Chargers to a 65-7 victory over Assumption College at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. In front of the Fourth Annual Community Day crowd, the Chargers improved to 5-0 overall and 4-0 in the Northeast-10 Conference, while the Greyhounds dropped to 1-5 overall and 1-4 in conference play. The Chargers’ win marked the 200th victory in Charger football history, which dates back to 1973. The win brought the programs all-time record to 200-139-5 or a 58.9 winning percentage. Longtime head coach Mark Whipple leads a select group of nine coaches with 48 wins at UNH, while five-year head coach and current New York Jets offensive coordinator Tony Sparano led the team with 41 wins. Current head coach Peter Rossomando now stands one win away from his 30th victory. Nelson went 18-of-22 in the game and was sacked just once, while six touchdown passes is just one shy of the Chargers’ single game record and the most since football returned to the gridiron in 2009. his favorite receiver was Jason Thompson (Indiantown, Fla./South Fork ) who finished the day with five catches for 106 yards and two touchdowns, including a 48-yard long. Demetrius Washington-Ellison (Rahway, N.J./Rahway / Univ. of Maine) was second on the team with four catches for 67 yards and one score, while three other receivers also caught touchdowns. Mike DeCaro (Weston, Fla./Cypress Bay ) led the UNH rushing attack with 51 yards and one touchdown, while Anthony Tillman (Piscataway, N.J./ Piscataway) chipped in with 49 yards on nine carries and one touchdown.

Defensively, the Chargers were very spread out as 16 defenders recorded multiple tackles. J.D. Chalifoux (Mansfield, Mass./Mansfield) and Matt Stevko (Shelton, Conn./Shelton ) led the way with five total tackles.

DellaCamera Stadium. The Chargers’ Northeast-10 Championship season ends with a 10-1 overall record.

Ryan Osiecki (Seymour, Conn./Seymour / Univ. of Louisville) and Jason Thompson (Indiantown, Fla./South Fork ) connected on both Charger touchdowns. Osiecki finished the day with 194 yards on 15-of-32 passing, and Thompson hauled in two receptions for 69 yards and two scores. Josh Smart (Hamden, Conn./Hamden ) led the receiving corps with five grabs for 54 yards, and Nick Music (West Milford, N.J./West Milford ) had four catches for 29 yards. A platoon of rushers combined for 158 yards on the ground for the Chargers. Mike DeCaro (Weston, Fla./Cypress Bay ) ran for 54 yards, Victor Jones (Paterson, N.J./Passaic County Tech) picked up 45, Anthony Tillman carried four times for 32 yards and Osiecki netted 22 with his legs. The Crimson Hawks entered the game as the nation’s top-ranked defense, ceding 243.33 yards from scrimmage per contest. In total, the Chargers topped that mark by over 100 yards with 352 yards of total offense. Defensively, New Haven held the one of the best rushing attacks in Division II to 155 yards on the ground; Indiana averaged 278.5 rushing yards per outing entering today’s game. Richard Long (New Rochelle, N.Y./New Rochelle / Iona College) led the Chargers with six tackles, while Brent MacLeod (Winchester, Mass./Winchester) had five stops – including a pair of tackles-for-loss. Sean Berglund (Wolcott, Conn./Wolcott) and Carlos Lozada (New London, Conn./New London) each had a sack. IUP gained 252 yards from scrimmage, 125 of which came on the ground courtesy of De’Antwan Williams, who also caught one pass for 14 yards and started the game with an 86-yard kickoff return that set up the Crimson Hawks’ first score. Harvie Tuck – the 10th leading rusher in Division II – had eight carries for 39 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Mike Box was 6-of-13 for 97 yards and a touchdown pass to Tyler Dummermuth. The Chargers’ 2012 season marked their third-consecutive Northeast-10 Conference Championship – including a win in the inaugural NE-10 Championship Game – and second trip to the NCAA Championships. The program’s 27 seniors, many of whom came to New Haven when Charger football returned in 2009, finish their careers with a 34-10 record.

November 25, 1995 - Ferris State 17, New Haven 9 The only stats that would indicate that New Haven lost this game would be the five turnovers, three fumbles and two interceptions. All the other statistics favored New Haven including time of possession (36:02), total yards (420 yards) and total plays (90). However, the most important stat favored the home team, a 17-9 final score. Ferris State opened the scoring with a 22-yard field goal by Jason Lipke. The Bulldogs boosted their lead on Chris Pulliams three-yard run, only the fourth rushing touchdown surrendered by the UNH defense in 12 games. Benny Roe’s 23-yard TD run in the third quarter gave the home team a 17-0 lead before New Haven finally lit its side of the scoreboard on Ron Jenkins fiveyard run with 9:00 remaining. Gene Adair brought the team to within one score with a 25-yard field goal, making the score 17-9.

It was the first semifinal win for New Haven. “This is the greatest win in UNH history,” head coach Tony Sparano said. Davis took a 3-0 lead on a Ray Hill 31-yard field goal just 3:48 into the game. New Haven’s Adam Roman, a junior wide receiver from Laguna Hills, Calif., scored the next three touchdowns to give the Chargers a 21-3 lead.

New Haven quarterback Cazzie Kosciolek completed 11 of 26 passes for 161 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Don Highsmith rushed for 105 yards on 20 carries and a touchdown. It was the fifth straight game Highsmith rushed for 100 yards or more.

Dirk Johnson faked a punt and ran 39 yards. Two plays later, Corte McGuffey connected with Dillon Micus on a 20-yard touchdown pass. It was only the second time all season that an opponent had scored first against New Haven. Northern Colorado sacked Cazzie Kosciolek seven times, the most sacks UNH had allowed all season. New Haven also lost three fumbles, the most it had lost all season.

On Saturday, November 26, 2011, the nationally ranked Chargers hosted their first-ever playoff game on the UNH campus. In front of a standing-room only crowd, the Chargers put on a show behind quarterback Ryan Osiecki who led the team to a 44-37 victory at DellaCamera Stadium.

December 3, 2011 - Winston-Salem 27, New Haven 7 The quarterfinal round matched the fifth-ranked Chargers against the third-ranked Rams of Winston-Salem State. The 7-27 loss was New Haven’s only loss to a Division II opponent all season. The Rams opened scoring with a 48-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, but missed the point-after attempt. Ryan Osiecki and Demetrius Washington-Ellison then connected on a 36-yard touchdown strike later in the first quarter and the extra point gave the Chargers a 7-6 lead. UNH held the lead until the 14:49 mark of the second quarter when Winston-Salem punched in another score to take a 13-7 lead, a lead they held at halftime. Both teams were held scoreless in the third quarter, while the Rams opened the first minutes of the fourth with another touchdown pass. After intercepting the Rams, New Haven marched all the way down to the Rams’ five-yard line, but an errant pass was picked off by WSSU and the Chargers’ hopes at a comeback fell short. The Rams added another score in the final minutes and sealed a 20-point victory. The Chargers amassed 330 total yards, while the Rams racked up 444 yards, including 170 on the ground.

November 26, 2011 - New Haven 44, Kutztown 37 The Chargers made their first postseason appearance in the “new era” of Charger football. The team earned the second seed in the region, a first round bye and for the first time in Charger football history, hosted a home game on the University’s own campus. The storylines were numerous and in front of a standing-room only crowd, the Chargers fell behind 20-21 with just 17-seconds left in the first half. The Chargers, however, did not give up and a last-second hail mary pass from 44-yards out connected Ryan Osiecki and Jason Thompson for the Chargers go-ahead score. The Chargers 26-21 halftime lead was wiped out in the third quarter as Kutztown scored a touchdown to regain the lead, 28-26. Kutztown split the uprights in the first minutes of the fourth quarter to improve its lead to 31-26, but the Chargers then began to rally. Back-to-back touchdown passes by Osiecki, including a 64-yard connection with Thompson, put the Chargers back in the lead, 41-31, with seven minutes left. The Chargers added a field goal and Kutztown scored on the final play of the game to bring the Chargers a seven-point victory. Osiecki was the player of the game with five touchdown passes, 433 passing yards and no interceptions. His favorite target, Thompson, grabbed a remarkable six catches for 214 yards and four touchdowns. As a team, UNH amassed 538 total yards on just 58 offensive plays. Defensively, the Chargers picked off three passes and kept the Golden Bears under pressure with three sacks and five total tackles-for-loss.

2012 REVIEW

Deborah Chin, Associate Vice President, Director of Athletics and Recreation Deborah Chin became the school’s fourth Director of Athletics in 1993, and currently oversees a department which sponsors 16 NCAA Division II varsity sports. She was elected to the prestigious position of Chair for the NCAA’s Division II Management Council for 2008 and was promoted to Associate Vice President, Director of Athletics and Recreation in 2010. UNH Athletics has enjoyed a high level of success across the board during Chin’s tenure as Director of Athletics, advancing to NCAA tournament over 50 times in 17-plus years. UNH has recently made a number of capital improvements to athletic and recreational facilities, including the construction of the multi-million dollar David A. Beckerman Student Recreation Center, a $1.3 million synthetic turf renovation of Kayo Field (soccer and lacrosse), as well as installation of stateof-the-art blue and gold synthetic turf at the new Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. In 2007, Chin spearheaded efforts to re-instate football as a varsity program and find UNH a new athletics conference that best fits the institution’s long-term academic and athletic aspirations. Both goals were accomplished when UNH announced on November 13, 2007 that it had been accepted as a full member of the prestigious Northeast-10 Conference, effective the 2008-09 academic year. After a five-year hiatus, the Charger football team returned to the gridiron in 2009, and have since won back-to-back conference championships and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals.

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. DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS HIGHLIGHTS • Women’s Basketball won the NCAA Division II National Championship in 1987, becoming the first team from the Northeast Region to win the title. • Women’s track and field has produced arguably the most successful individual student-athlete in Charger athletics history. Shannon Gagne won an unmatched five national championships during the 2010-11 academic year and helped bring the program a fourth place finish at the 2011 NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field National Championship meet - the highest finish in program history. • The UNH women’s volleyball team has reached the NCAA Sweet 16 nineteen times since 1983, and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight twelve times. • Baseball has consistently been ranked as one of the winningest Division II programs in NCAA history. Baseball Coach Emeritus Frank “Porky” Vieira retired after the 2006 season as Division II’s all-time winningest coach by percentage, and logged 1,127 career victories. The team has appeared in 17 College World Series and made 33 Regional appearances, including their most recent run in 2013. • Baseball has also produced nine major league players, including former Cy Young winner Steve Bedrosian of the Philadelphia Phillies and First Round Draft Pick Cameron Drew. • The football program has appeared in six NCAA championship playoffs, earning runner-up status in 1997. At the time, the titlegame appearance made UNH the only football team in the State of Connecticut to ever compete for a national title and the smallest school (in terms of enrollment) to compete for an NCAA Championship. Most recently, the football program has appeared in the NCAA tournament in both 2011 and 2012. • Tailback Roger Graham won the 1993 Harlon Hill Trophy as the top Division II Football Player in the nation. • Men’s Soccer reached the NCAA finals in 1976 and finished third in 1977.
