New Haven posted a 15-4 record last season and made the program’s third NCAA quarterfinal appearance while tying its highest-ever national ranking at No. 4. The Chargers went 11-2 in conference play to earn the third seed in the conference championship. UNH defeated four nationally-ranked opponents during the season, including No. 1 Adelphi, snapping the Panthers 36-game winning streak. The Chargers earned their third at-large bid to the NCAA postseason and finished the season ranked No. 5 in the IWLCA Division II Coaches’ Poll, the program’s highest ranking in the final poll. ATTACK Junior Caitlin O’Brien will lead the attack for the Chargers. She blossomed last season, starting all 19 games, delivering 52 points on 33 goals and 19 assists. She will be asked to carry a large portion of the scoring load for New Haven. Senior Maya Syzmanski should expect to see a boost in her offensive output this season after scoring 26 goals a year ago. She is described by head coach Jen Fallon as “crafty and quick, a slippery attacker and difficult to defend.” Sophomore Jessica Mazliah will be asked to increase her role for New Haven in the attacking zone after appearing in 11 games a year ago. She scored four goals including three against cross-town rival Southern Connecticut State and has been described as “a very creative attacker with an incredible stick, great vision and the ability to score,” by Coach Fallon. The Blue and Gold also look to get contributions on offense from

freshman Samantha Galler who was an All-Atlantic Coast League performer as a junior and senior at Marshfield High School. She is a smart player and decision maker who does not turn the ball over and has the ability to find the back of the net. Fellow freshman Kayla Pjatak will be counted on to provide depth on the front line. MIDFIELD Senior Corinne Fisher and junior Nicole Belanger look to power the Chargers through the middle. Fisher was an IWLCA Second Team and Northeast-10 Conference Second Team member last season and was a key contributor, netting 32 goals while dishing 11 assists. She also finished second on the team with 60 draw controls. Belanger garnered IWLCA Third Team All-North Region accolades to go along with Second Team NE-10 honors. She scored 31 goals and handed out four assists while also scooping up 25 ground balls. She will be counted on to help provide scoring punch for a balanced New Haven offense. Seniors Devon Previte and Alicia Busco are expected to play significant roles this season giving depth to a talented offensive group. Both could see some time in the midfield with Previte adding to the attack as well. New Haven also has high hopes for freshman Mackenzie Reh who will provide depth in the midfield. An athletic and talented player, she can help out on both sides of the ball. DEFENSE Graduating three senior starters including the IWLCA Division II Defensive Player of the Year leaves a tall task for New Haven on the back line. The defense will be anchored by juniors Hannah Johnson and Meredith Michel. Johnson was an IWLCA Third Team All-North Region selection a year ago, appearing in all 19 games, causing 17 turnovers and collecting 21 ground balls. Michael started all 19
2009 NORTHEAST-10 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS • 2009, 2014, 2015 NCAA PLAYOFFS
games last season with 12 caused turnovers and 18 ground balls. The Chargers will look for an increased contribution from sophomore Courtney Duffy, She is a smart defender who will step out of a reserve role that she played last year after gaining some valuable experience in 2015.
McDermott started eight games, posting a 6-1 record with a 7.96 goals against average. She made 42 saves including a season-high six stops each against Saint Anselm, Southern New Hampshire and Pace. Freshman Alexa Carbone will serve as the backup to the two seniors, gaining valuable experience under their tutelage.
2016 PLAYERS
GOALKEEPER Much like the previous three seasons, New Haven’s goalkeeper position has been tightly contested between seniors Alyssa Gianotti
Gianotti started 11 games a year ago and totaled over 658 minutes between the pipes. She went 9-3, making 70 saves and posted a 7.93 goals against average. The Monkton, Md. native was also named to the IWLCA Academic Honor Roll.
2016 COACHES
Seniors Maria Troisi and Christina Luca along with junior Alicia Mortali will all see time on the defensive side of the ball, bringing both maturity and experience. New Haven will also look for depth from freshman Marie Cox and Madison Unterstein.
and Marissa McDermott. The two will likely split time once again this season with the possibility of changing depending on the opponents.

Deborah Chin, Associate Vice President, Director of Athletics and Recreation
38
Deborah Chin became the University of New Haven’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 of the NCAA’s Division II Management Council for 2008 and currently serves as Chair of the NCAA Division II Membership Committee. She 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 75 times in 20-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. During the previous two years, the Chargers have seen great accomplishments on the playing field and in the classroom. In each of the previous two athletic seasons, at least 14-of-16 teams advanced to the postseason and the New Haven student-athletes have boasted over a 3.10 cumulative grade point average. 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 three conference championships and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals.
Hall of Fame resume - literally - earning induction into the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Hall of Fame in December, 2006. Chin is also a member of the Connecticut Volleyball Hall of Fame (Inducted October, 1998), the Connecticut Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame (April, 1999), and the Athletics Hall of Fame at her alma mater, SUNY-Cortland.
A member of the University of New Haven staff since 1975, Chin began her UNH career as Coordinator of Women’s Athletics. She was responsible for starting the women’s intercollegiate athletic program at UNH, coaching volleyball, tennis, basketball and softball in the early years. Chin eventually surrendered all head coaching responsibilities, except volleyball, when she was promoted to Associate Director of Athletics in 1979.
In a 19-year career (1975-93) as head coach for the Chargers, she posted a 578-179 record (.764) and was at that time only the fifth Division II coach to win 500 career matches. The Chargers made 10 trips to the NCAA tournament during Chin’s reign, reaching the top five four times. Her awards include six AVCA Northeast Region Coach of the Year distinctions as well as eight New England Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year honors. Chin coached the Chargers to twelve 30-win seasons, including six straight. She is also recognized internationally as a top volleyball clinician.
Among her numerous honors, Chin was named the NACWAA NCAA Division II Administrator of the Year in 2009 after serving as the D-II Management Council Chair. In 2007, the Connecticut Sportswriters’ Alliance presented Chin with the Gold Key Award, the state’s top sporting honor which recognizes significant contributions to athletics in the State of Connecticut. Chin won the NACDA/Continental Airlines Athletic Director of the Year for the Northeast Region in 199899 and was awarded the NACWAA Josten’s District I Administrator of the Year Award in 1997. Chin won the National Association for Girls and Women in Sports Presidential Award in March 1997 and was the Connecticut Post Woman of the Year in 1993. Chin has also earned the U.S. Volleyball Association Meritorious Service Award and the YMCA Women in Leadership Award. In 2010, she was honored as an Elm City Legend, an event which recognizes the greater New Haven region’s best in sports and community dedication. As head women’s volleyball coach, Chin fashioned a
As an administrator, Chin has served on over 30 national and regional committees. In addition to her current position as Chair of the NCAA Division II Membership Committee, her resume includes terms as Chair of the NCAA Division II Management Council (2008), chairperson for the NCAA Division II Volleyball Committee (1988-92), the NCAA Division II Baseball Committee (1997-2001), the NCAA Northeast Regional Football Committee (1999-2003), and the NACDA John McLendon Minority Scholarship Committee (1999-present). She also served four years on the NACWAA Board of Directors (1993-96), and acted as the Volleyball Commissioner for the 1995 Special Olympics World Games held in New Haven. A graduate of SUNY-Cortland with a Bachelor’s of Science in Physical Education, Chin earned her Master’s of Science degree in Physical Education from UNC-Greensboro.

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.
