A WINNING TRADITION

2014 OUTLOOK

The Charger football program was reestablished in 2009 and the program’s winning tradition began right where it left off. The Chargers won three-straight Northeast-10 Conference Championships from 2010-12 and advanced to the NCAA tournament in both 2011 and 2012.

2013 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 football was of great interest and excitement to University of New Haven students, alumni, fans and friends of athletics.

HISTORY & RECORDS

When the Charger football team advanced to the NCAA Championship game in 1997, 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.

THE UNIVERSITY

Charger football has a storied tradition of gridiron success, including six NCAA Division II playoff appearances. The program posts an all-time record of 214-148-5 in 36 seasons, including a 184-101-1 mark after moving to the Division II level in 1982.

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. After spending seven seasons in the NFL, Whipple returned to UMass for the 2014 season in hopes to return to Minutemen to the national spotlight. In five 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. Former head coach Peter 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 four have been invited to NFL training camps.

CHRIS PINCINCE HEAD COACH FIRST SEASON BOSTON ‘94

On February 6, 2014, Chris Pincince became the 10th head football coach at the University of New Haven. He brings over 20 years of collegiate coaching experience to the post, including many at the NCAA Division I level. With two previous stints as an assistant at New Haven, Pincince began his career with the Chargers in 1995 as an assistant for UNH Athletics Hall of Famer and current Oakland Raiders Assistant Head Coach Tony Sparano. He spent three additional seasons with the Chargers from 1999 to 2001 under Darren Rizzi, current special teams coordinator for the Miami Dolphins. Prior to his most recent position as offensive coordinator at NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) member Elon University in North Carolina, Pincince was the offensive coordinator at the University of Rhode Island and the College of the Holy Cross. At Elon, Pincince was the offensive coordinator as well as the quarterbacks and running backs coach for three seasons. In his first year Elon’s offense led the Southern Conference and ranked 14th nationally with 281 passing yards per game. Pincince’s offensive scheme was anchored by All-America wide receiver Aaron Mellette, who led all of FCS in receptions per game (10.27) and receiving yards per game (149). His season totals also set new school and conference records in 2011. Quarterback Thomas Wilson also led the conference and ranked 14th nationally in total offense. In his second season at Elon, the offense ranked 12th in the FCS in passing yards per game (296), with Mellette again earning All-America honors. The receiver became the first Elon player invited to the Senior Bowl and was later selected in the seventh round of the NFL draft by the Baltimore Ravens. In Pincince’s final season at Elon, the Phoenix ranked second in the conference in passing yards per game (231) and averaged over 350 total yards per contest.

Pincince also spent four years at the College of the Holy Cross, including two seasons as the Crusaders’ offensive coordinator.

Crusaders quarterback Dominic Randolph led the league in passing (3,604 yards), touchdown passes (30) and total offense (340 ypg) and finished 12th in the balloting for the Walter Payton Award. Pincince’s first two seasons at Holy Cross were spent as the wide receivers coach. Prior to his tenure at Holy Cross, Pincince served as the offensive coordinator at Ursinus College in 2003. The season before, Pincince was the quarterbacks coach at Brown University. He also spent two seasons at Fairfield University. During his five previous seasons at New Haven, the Chargers combined for a 32-18-1 record and advanced to the NCAA Division II quarterfinal round in 1995. The Chargers finished the regular season undefeated and earned a 2712 victory over Edinboro in the opening round of the NCAA playoffs. In his second stint, the Chargers averaged over 30 points and 350 yards per game during his three-season stretch. A native of Woonsocket, R.I., Pincince earned his bachelor’s degree from Boston University in 1994. He was a member of the Terriers’ 1993 Yankee Conference Championship team and played on two NCAA Division I-AA (now FCS) playoff teams. He and his wife, Jennifer, have two sons, Zachary and Owen, and a daughter, Emma.

2014 SEASON PREVIEW

LINEBACKERS The linebacker corps with be new to the Chargers’ starting lineup but boasting plenty of collegiate experience in 2014. Tyler Condit made 43 tackles bolstered a pair of double-digit tackle outings and Jaylen Johnson had a 12-tackle game – the Chargers’ 48-41 win at Merrimack – en route to 32 tackles in 2013. Sherwood Jonathas made 55 tackles for the Blue and Gold last season, including 12 stops against American International. The middle of the defense will also feature two transfers poised to make an immediate impact. Matt Zakrzewski played three seasons at fullback in the Big 10 Conference for Indiana and will complete his eligibility as a linebacker for the Chargers while pursuing a graduate degree at New Haven. Tarik Pusey appeared in 18 games over the past two seasons for Division I FCS Rhode Island, capped by 26 stops for the Rams in 2013.

Brian Roberts returned from injury to claim placekicking responsibilities for the final four weeks of his freshman campaign. He went 4-for-5 on field goal attempts with a long of 40 yards and pushed through 17 of his 20 extra point attempts. Brandon Fowler is the Chargers’ holder for field goal and extra point attempts, and Christian Bish will handle long-snapping duties. In the return game, Ty Headen, Trevor Officer, Andre Anderson and Courtney Moshood will challenge each other for primary returning responsibilities. With only kick return experience among the four, Officer leads the group with 11 kickoff returns for 194 yards a season ago.

Rounding out the New Haven linebackers are returners Joscil Jackson and Greg Pease and newcomers Tim Cox and C.J. Fitzpatrick. SECONDARY The New Haven defensive backfield returns three senior starters this fall. On the outside, Rodney Lanham made 51 tackles in 2013 with two interceptions and a team-leading 10 pass breakups. Safety Herbens Antenor topped all returning Chargers last season with 70 tackles in addition to a pick, and David Nooks had 54 tackles with seven pass breakups. A fourth defensive mainstay, Jacob Weaver, will slide into a more versatile role in the secondary after starting 11 games as a part of the linebacker corps last season. Weaver had 50 tackles, including one sack and three total tackles for loss, and blocked a kick against Bentley on senior day. The experience runs beyond the returning starters with Carlos Lozada, Kendall Marks and Matt Stevko. Lozada’s 2013 was highlighted by a two-interception day against Pace, while Marks returned a fumble for a touchdown in the win over Bentley. Stevko appeared in nine games last fall, making four tackles with a fumble recovery. Darrius Pritchett and Tyjee Williams both return as well in 2014 to bring additional depth to the secondary. Looking to make their first appearances for the Blue and Gold are returners Marcus Cudjoe, Jordan Dunn, Vail Grafton and Luis Mercer as well as six newcomers: Austin Allen, Stefano Bicknese, Mark Clements, Nigel Davis, Isiah Oliver, Matt Olivo and Miles Pease. SPECIAL TEAMS The First Team All-Northeast-10 punter last fall, Anthony Greenfield will reassume his duties as a specialist in his senior season. He boomed 39 punts with nine landing inside the 20-yard line in 2013, blasting a long of 64 yards. His average of 41.9 yards per punt was tops in the Northeast-10. Greenfield also served as the Chargers’ placekicker for the first seven weeks of the season and booted 36 extra points. He threw a touchdown pass on a fake field goal in the NE-10 win over Pace.

PAC 0 - UNH 65 GAME RECAP: WEST HAVEN, Conn. – The University of New Haven football team began the defense of its three-straight Northeast-10 Championships with a 65-0 shutout of visiting Pace at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. Mike DeCaro (Weston, Fla./Cypress Bay ) racked up 154 all-purpose yards with three touchdowns and Ronnie Nelson (Stuart, Fla./South Fork ) threw for four scores before a home crowd of 3,020. With the win, the Chargers improve to 1-1 and begin the NE-10 slate at 1-0 for the third-consecutive fall. New Haven has also won its home opener for the fourth-straight campaign. Pace drops to 0-2 overall and 0-1 in the conference with the loss. DeCaro’s 154 all-purpose yards, all garnered in the first half, came courtesy of 102 receiving yards out of the backfield with two scores and 52 yards on the ground with a two-yard scamper to paydirt. Nelson also only played prior to the intermission, connecting with DeCaro on touchdown passes of 50 and 51 yards as well as a 62-yard hookup with Courtney Moshood (Miami, Fla./Miami Palmetto) and a 15-yard strike to Nick Music (West Milford, N.J./West Milford ). Nelson added 10 rushing yards to his 10-for-17 day for 234 yards through the air. Trevor Officer (Monroe, N.Y./Monroe-Woodbury) colleted 50 yards on seven careers with a touchdown and Anthony Tillman (Piscataway, N.J./Piscataway) ran for 10 yards on five carries. Joey Bradley (Issaquah, Wash./Issaquah / University of North Dakota) took the reins under center in the second half. He went 3-for-5 for 50 yards and two touchdowns. The junior transfer from the University of North Dakota had a 30-yard touchdown pass to Michael Flacco (Audobon, N.J./Gateway Regional / The Community College of Baltimore County - Catonsville) and a 15-yard pitch-and-catch to Rishawn Harris (Springfield, Mass./ Putnam Vocational Technical Academy). Earlier in the game, Flacco caught a 19-yard touchdown pass from Anthony Greenfield (Bloomfield, N.J./Paramus Catholic / Wagner) on a fake field goal. He finished with four grabs for 68 yards. As an offensive unit, New Haven outgained the Setters, 425-228. On the defensive side of the ball, Carlos Lozada (New London, Conn./New London) had two second-half interceptions, while Rodney Lanham (Bridgeport, Conn./Bridge Academy) added a late pick of his own. Sean Berglund (Wolcott, Conn./Wolcott) led the effort up-front with three sacks, a forced fumble and four total tackles-for-loss. Chad Woodfine (Springfield, Mass./Chicopee / Suffield Academy) and Kervin Edouard (Somerville, Mass./ Somerville ) each had a sack as well, and Edouard also forced the fumble that led to New Haven’s first touchdown. Berglund, DJ Brown (Washington Township, N.J./Washington Township), Andre Lawrence (Hartford, Conn./Hartford Public / Boston College) and Matthew Fallico (Syracuse, N.Y./Fayetteville Manlius / Hudson Valley) shared the team-high of seven tackles. The Chargers racked up 16 tackles-for-loss, including six sacks, to limit the Setters to 25 net yards rushing and 203 through the air. In addition to a touchdown pass on the first throwing attempt of his career, Greenfield went 9-for-9 on extra points and boomed five punts for an average of 49.8 yards per try, including a 64-yarder with no return.

Senior quarterback Ronnie Nelson (Stuart, Fla./South Fork ) shined with 312 passing yards and 171 rushing yards with five total touchdowns. The Stuart, Fla. native went 17for-28 in the pocket and tossed a game-long 72 yard strike to Courtney Moshood (Miami, Fla./Miami Palmetto). The team’s leading rusher, senior running back Mike DeCaro (Weston, Fla./Cypress Bay ) amassed 205 rushing yards with three touchdowns on 19 carries. The team’s third 100-yard rusher, Trevor Officer (Monroe, N.Y./Monroe-Woodbury) saw most his time in the second half and totaled 113 yards on 14 carries with one score.

GAME RECAP: NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. - The University of New Haven football team, led by two big defensive stands inside its own 10-yard line in the fourth quarter, defeated Merrimack College 48-41 Saturday afternoon at a wet Martone-Mejail Field. Down by seven, Merrimack marched to New Haven’s one-yard line with over four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. On two consecutive plays, the Chargers’ defense stopped the Warriors and an incomplete pass on fourth down gave the ball back to New Haven. After a quick three-and-out by New Haven, Merrimack again got the ball inside UNH territory with 2:40 left on the clock. The Warriors brought the ball inside New Haven’s 10-yard line and was faced with second-and-four with 1:08 left. On three-straight plays, the Chargers forced incomplete passes by Joe Clancy. The Chargers took over with 47-seconds remaining and sealed the win in victory formation. Senior Mike DeCaro (Weston, Fla./Cypress Bay ) added 270 all-purpose yards with three touchdowns to lead the Chargers offense. He ran for a team-best 57 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries. He caught four passes for 72 yards and one touchdown, while returning five kickoffs for 141 yards. Quarterback Ronnie Nelson (Stuart, Fla./South Fork ) added 281 yards and three touchdowns on 16-of-25 passing, while Nick Music (West Milford, N.J./West Milford ) led all receivers with five catches and 102 yards. Defensively, Jaylen Johnson (Linden, N.J./Linden) led the team with 12 total tackles, while Najae Brown (Mount Vernon, N.Y./Mount St. Michael / Trinity Pawling) added 11 total tackles, including a team-high 10 solo stops.

GAME RECAP: WEST HAVEN, Conn. – In a game featuring over 1,000 yards of total offense, the University of New Haven football team fell seven yards short in a 29-26 loss to visiting Stonehill on Saturday afternoon at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. The Chargers were led offensively by 153 rushing yards and 52 receiving yards by Mike DeCaro (Weston, Fla./Cypress Bay ).

In addition to live, high-definition coverage on NewHavenChargers.com, today’s homecoming game was broadcast throughout Connecticut on CPTV Sports.

Nelson finished 17-for-31 passing for 320 yards and three touchdown passes. The Chargers’ signal caller also ran for 69 yards on the day. Tight end Michael Flacco (Audobon, N.J./Gateway Regional / The Community College of Baltimore County - Catonsville) led the receiving corps with five catches for 62 yards and a score, with Music and Henry Adegunle (Rockaway, N.Y./Channel View) each reeling in a touchdown grab as well.

On the defensive side of the ball, cornerback Najae Brown (Mount Vernon, N.Y./Mount St. Michael / Trinity Pawling) made seven tackles with three pass break-ups and an interception in the end zone to stifle a Stonehill drive at the three-yard line in the closing seconds of the first half. Herbens Antenor (Malden, Mass./Malden) made a team-leading nine tackles to go along with a pass break-up from the rover spot in the Chargers’ secondary.

2013 REVIEW

For the third time in as many weeks for New Haven, the outcome came down to the game’s final snap. After a Stonehill scoring drive and two-point conversion staked the visitors to a 29-26 lead, the Chargers took over with 23 seconds to play at their own 40-yard line. Ronnie Nelson (Stuart, Fla./South Fork ) started the march with a 26-yard strike to Ty Headen (Newark, N.J./American History), and a connection with DeCaro brought the ball to the Skyhawks’ seven-yard line with two seconds remaining. A pass intended for Nick Music (West Milford, N.J./West Milford ) in the corner of the end zone hit the turf incomplete, and Stonehill escaped with a three-point victory.

Ronnie Nelson (Stuart, Fla./South Fork ) accounted for 311 yards of offense and three touchdowns in the Friday night victory at Jess Dow Field. With the win, the Chargers improve to 6-2 overall in 2013. At 6-1 in the Northeast-10 Conference, New Haven remains in control of its own destiny for a berth in the NE-10 Championship Game with two regular-season contests remaining. Southern Connecticut State falls to 3-5 on the season with a 3-4 NE-10 mark. Nelson finished the day at 15-of-30 passing for 259 yards and two touchdowns. He was also the Chargers’ leading rusher with 52 yards and a score. Andre Anderson (New Haven, Conn./James Hillhouse) added 29 rushing yards as well as 13 receiving yards. Nelson completed passes to 10 different receivers, with Nick Music (West Milford, N.J./ West Milford ) hauling a team-best three passes for 54 yards. Ty Headen (Newark, N.J./ American History) had two receptions for 79 yards and a touchdown, and tight end Brandon Ruberti (Madison, Conn./Daniel Hand ) snagged his first career touchdown pass. New Haven broke the game open on special teams in the first half. Cory Jasudowich (North Branford, Conn./Cheshire Academy) broke through the line to block a pair of SCSU punts that were returned for touchdowns. The first scoop-and-score went to DeeJay White (Brooklyn, N.Y./Sheepshead Bay / Bowling Green State University) and the second was returned by Anthony Tillman (Piscataway, N.J./Piscataway). The Chargers have blocked at least one kick in each of the last three meetings with their crosstown rivals. Sherwood Jonathas (Everett, Mass./Everett) led the New Haven defense with eight tackles. Brent MacLeod (Winchester, Mass./Winchester) picked up a solo sack, with the tandems of Drake Harris (Union, N.J./Union) and Michael Intrieri (Westerly, R.I./Westerly / Dean College) and then Jasudowich and Tyler Condit (Caldwell, N.J./James Caldwell) each combining to dump the quarterback behind the line of scrimmage. The Blue and Gold also forced two turnovers – a Matt Stevko (Shelton, Conn./Shelton ) fumble recovery in the red zone and an interception hauled in by Rodney Lanham (Bridgeport, Conn./Bridge Academy). John Moscatel paced the SCSU offense with 175 rushing yards on 23 carries. Quarterback Brandon Basil was 14-of-26 through the air for 150 yards. As a unit, the Owls held a slight 369-351 edge in total yards and garnered 21 first downs to New Haven’s 16. However, two special teams touchdowns and a 2-1 edge in the turnover battle more than accounted for the 18-yard difference in yards from scrimmage.

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. New Haven had the ball inside the Ferris 20-yard line in the final 2:00 but failed on a fourth-down attempt, securing the win for Ferris State.

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.

UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAVEN DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the department of intercollegiate athletics is to support the mission of the university and to integrate intercollegiate athletics into higher education so that the educational experience of the student-athlete is paramount. 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.

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.
