JEN STAREK HEAD COACH

Jen Starek enters her tenth season as head coach of the Chargers’ softball program in 2016. The winningest coach in program history, Starek has been at the helm for the club’s most successful season as a part of New Haven’s first-ever string of four consecutive trips to NCAA postseason from 2008-11.

Starek took over the Chargers’ program in 2007 and led the team to a 26-19 record – an eight-win improvement from the previous campaign. Prior to her arrival at New Haven, Starek spent two years as head softball and field hockey coach at Simmons College in Boston. The Sharks’ 2006 softball team won the Colleges of the Fenway Tournament and scored an opening-round win in the Great Northeast Atlantic Conference (GNAC) Playoffs. The team posted a 19-19 record overall, including wins in seven of the team’s last nine games, to improve upon a 17-22 mark from 2005. She was also the co-head coach of Pressure Softball’s 16U Team during 2005 and 2006.

In 2011, New Haven advanced to the Northeast-10 Championship as the fourth seed and was one of three teams left standing on the tournament’s final day of action. The Chargers also claimed the seventh seed in the NCAA East Region Championship, marking the club’s fourth-straight NCAA postseason trip. After concluding the season with a 34-19 overall record, Chelsea Harold and Christina Gelardi both earned NFCA All-America honors and were two of the four Chargers to claim All-Northeast-10 recognition.

Starek was a standout softball and field hockey player at Springfield. As a catcher and outfielder in softball, she was twice a NEWMAC First Team All-Conference selection (2000, 2001), NFCA All-New England Second Team (2001), and NEISCA Division III second team All-Star (1999). The Pride won their first-ever NEWMAC Tournament in 2000, advancing to the NCAA Tournament with a 30-17-1 record. The following season as a senior, Starek led Springfield to a 41-10 record, their highest win total in at least 17 years.

The 2010 campaign was a landmark season for the Chargers. Starek claimed Northeast-10 Conference Coach of the Year honors after guiding New Haven to its first NE-10 Regular Season Championship. Despite being upset at the NE-10 Championship, the Chargers’ regular season résumé merited the top seed in the NCAA Division II East Region Championship. New Haven swept the competition at the regional before dropping the Super Regional to Molloy in the deciding game of a best-of-three series. The Chargers won a program-record 42 games and made the deepest NCAA postseason run in program history, finishing the spring ranked No. 16 in the NFCA Division II Top 25 Poll.

Starek led the Pride field hockey team to NEWMAC titles 1998, 1999 and 2000. They advanced to the national championship game in 2000, her final season. She is an NATA certified athletic trainer and an NSCA certified strength and conditioning coach.

The 2010 season also marked the end of arguably one of the best four-year

New Haven’s all-time wins leader on the softball diamond at 260-139 (also her Division II head coaching record), Starek is 303-201 (.601) overall in ten seasons as a collegiate head coach. Starek is a native of Holliston, Mass., and currently resides in West Haven, Conn.

Starek graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor of science degree in athletic training from Springfield College in 2001, and earned an MS in athletic administration in 2003.

HISTORY & RECORDS

The Chargers finished 29-19 in 2012 and earned the seventh seed in the Northeast-10 Championship, going on to knock off second seeded Adelphi and advance to the championship weekend tournament. Starek mentored Shannon Angehr to First Team All-NE-10 and Second Team NFCA All-East Region laurels in the outfield.

2015 REVIEW

Previously, Starek has been head softball coach, assistant athletic director and an adjunct professor of sports management at Mount Ida College (2003-04). She was an assistant softball coach at her alma mater, Springfield College, from 2001-03. In 2003, the Pride went 33-12 overall to register its second-highest win total in a 17-year span.

2016 OUTLOOK

In 2013, Starek produced the Chargers’ seventh-straight winning season – a stretch that began when she took over the program in 2007. The team finished 38-15 and reached both the Northeast-10 and NCAA Regional championship games. New Haven earned its first NFCA national ranking (No. 24) since landing at No. 21 in the 2011 preseason poll. Starek also guided the program’s first-ever NFCA All-America First Team selection, Christina Gelardi, to Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Year laurels. Gelardi led the nation with a .649 on-base percentage. Pitcher Micah Stonesifer and first baseman Jess Spivey also collected All-Region accolades in 2013.

Earlier in her New Haven career, Starek guided the Chargers to the 2009 Division II East Region Championship final and an underdog run to the 2008 East Region final that included wins in four consecutive elimination games.

2016 PLAYERS

The 2014 season marked Starek’s second Northeast-10 Coach of the Year honor as the Chargers won the NE-10 Southwest Division regular-season title for the first time since divisional play began in 2013. The Chargers came one win shy of recording Starek’s second back-to-back 30-win season at 29-18 overall. With an 18-8 conference slate, New Haven hosted the conference championship, but fell to eventual champion Southern New Hampshire. The Chargers also earned the fourth seed in the NCAA East Region Championship and hosted the tournament on campus. The appearance was the sixth in a seven year stretch. Three players earned All-Region Second Team honors by Daktronics.

She was also the 20th NCAA Division II pitcher to record 1,000 career strikeouts and the 22nd to register 100 wins. Gleason was a four-time All-Region selection, a two-time First Team All-NE-10 honoree and recorded the most recent perfect game in New Haven history – a 3-0 win over Dowling on March 17, 2010.

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.
