WCU 35 - UNH 30 WEST HAVEN, Conn. – Before a crowd of 3,291 fans at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium, the University of New Haven football team was edged in its season opener, 35-30, by nationally-ranked (10/11) West Chester. Joey Bradley went 32-for-48 for 311 yards with one touchdown in addition to a rushing touchdown in his first career start for the Chargers. The outing marked the first game at the helm for Head Coach Chris Pincince. Bradley’s 32 completions and 48 passing attempts are the most by a New Haven quarterback since Ryan Osiecki went 37-for-61 at Southern Connecticut State on Oct. 2, 2009. DeeJay White was the recipient of seven balls for 83 yards, while Henry Adegunle reeled in six passes for 54 yards and a score. Also on the outside, Ty Headen snagged five passes of 44 yards. Brandon Fowler added three receptions, and Isaiah Austin and Roshawn Wilson each caught two. Rounding out the action for the receiving corps was Courtney Moshood with a 16-yard catch. Out of the backfield, Andre Anderson (New Haven, Conn./James Hillhouse) and Trevor Officer (Monroe, N.Y./Monroe-Woodbury) had three grabs apiece for 34 and 30 yards, respectively. Officer was New Haven’s leading rusher with 42 yards and a touchdown, while Anderson picked up 32 yards and a score on the ground and Moshood scampered for 14 yards on an end around. Defensively, three players making their New Haven debuts led the way. Matt Zakrzewski made a team-best 10 tackles to go along with a fumble forced and recovered. Tarik Pusey also pounced on a pivotal fumble in the fourth quarter, and Matt Olivo reeled in an interception. Tyler Condit added eight tackles from the linebacker position, and Dave Calderon picked up a sack. For West Chester, quarterback Sean McCartney went 17-for-31 for 262 yards with four touchdowns to four different receivers. The Golden Rams’ defense was led by D2Football. com Preseason All-America Al-Hajj Shabazz, who had an interception, recovered a blocked punt for a touchdown and later blocked a second punt.

Andre Anderson rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns, while Ty Headen had 10 catches for 114 yards and a receiving score in front of a standing room only crowd of 3,876 at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium.

Anderson’s 105 yards came on just 12 carries, fueled by a 47-yard scamper on a thirdquarter drive to set up his second touchdown of the day. He added three catches for 10 yards out of the backfield. Fellow running back Trevor Officer chipped in with 35 rushing yards and four receptions for 20 yards. Quarterback Joey Bradley set new career marks for completions and attempts with a 35for-49 day. The senior signal caller amassed 264 yards and a touchdown through the air to go along with an 11-yard scramble on his only rushing attempt. Bradley’s top target was Headen, whose 10 catches mark the most by a Charger since Sharieff Hall reeled in 12 passes from Ryan Osiecki at Assumption on Sept. 11, 2009. Headen’s 114 yards are a career high. DeeJay White had five receptions for 43 yards, and Brandon Fowler and Rishawn Harris each caught four passes for 32 and 31 yards, respectively. Rounding out the production for the receiving corps were Courtney Moshood with two receptions and one grab apiece from Henry Adegunle, Jonathan Badyna and Roshawn Wilson. Tyler Condit and Tarik Pusey led the defense with seven tackles apiece. In the secondary Herbens Antenor made six stops to go along with an interception and a pass broken up in the end zone on third down to force a Greyhounds’ field goal attempt. Matt Olivo also picked up a turnover, pouncing on a fumble at the one-yard line with Assumption poised to extend its lead to two possessions in the fourth quarter. 2013 First Team All-Northeast-10 punter Anthony Greenfield did his job of reversing field position for the Blue and Gold. Greenfield averaged 45.6 yards per punt of his five tries, including a career-best 66-yard boomer from his own end zone. The Assumption offense was led by its ground game, as Alex Shain, Matt Heriveaux and quarterback Trevor Vasey each ran for a touchdown. Vasey was 17-of-27 passing for 303 yards and an interception. Dave Call and Eddy Frazier each turned in 100-yard receiving performances.

As a team, New Haven ran for 104 yards on 33 carries and threw for 205 yards on 33 pass attempts. The UNH defense held Stonehill to 345 yards on 70 plays, while more importantly forcing four fourth quarter turnovers by the Skyhawks. Joey Bradley paced the UNH offense with 205 passing yards on 19-of-33 with a touchdown. Ty Headen was his favorite target with 11 catches for 116 yards and a score. Thomas and Andre Anderson led the UNH rushing attack combining for 104 yards on 31 carries.

WEST HAVEN, Conn. – The University of New Haven football team scored touchdowns on its first four drives and never looked back en route to a 42-14 win over visiting Merrimack. The Chargers picked up their fifth consecutive victory before a Homecoming crowd of 4,358 at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. With the Northeast-10 triumph, New Haven improves to 5-3 overall and 5-2 in conference play. The Warriors drop to 3-5 on the season with a 3-4 NE-10 mark.

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.

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 with receiver Jason Thompson leading the way with 214 yards and four touchdowns in a 44-37 victory.

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.

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.
