Expectations are high at SUNY Cortland as the 2006 football season gets underway. The Red Dragons fi nished the 2005 regular season with a 7-2 mark, including a tie for fi rst in the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) at 5-1 with eventual national semifi nalist Rowan. Cortland earned an at-large berth into the NCAA Division III playoffs – its fi rst NCAA bid since 1997. Cortland returns 20 starters (nine offense, nine defense and two kicking) from last year’s squad for 10th-

year head coach Dan MacNeill. Among that group are 13 players who earned NJAC all-conference recognition last year, including seven fi rst or second team choices.

Senior defensive tackle Adam Haas, a fi rst team All-American and the NJAC Defensive Player of the Year last fall, leads a unit that ranked second nationally in Division III in rushing defense (40.9 yards/game), ninth in total defense (253.6 yards/game) and 20th in scoring defense (15.5 points/game). Haas fi nished 11th nationally with 1.1 sacks per game (10.5 total) to help Cortland total a school-record 52 sacks. He also led the Red Dragons with 14.5 total tackles for losses and 17 quarterback hurries.

Senior safety Stef Sair and senior linebacker Matt Montpetit joined Haas on the All-NJAC fi rst team last season. Sair, an honorable mention All-American, picked off four

passes and broke up six others. He enters the season tied for fi rst in school history with 12 career interceptions. Montpetit made 73 tackles last season, including 7.5 for lost yardage, and also recorded three interceptions.

Senior end Rich Coyne and senior tackle Mike Connolly both return to starting spots on the defensive line along with Haas. Twelve of Coyne’s 40 tackles last fall were for lost yardage, including 6.5 sacks. He earned NJAC honorable mention all-league honors. Connolly registered 27 tackles, including two sacks. Among other returners competing for playing time on the line include senior end Rich DeJesus and junior tackle Brad Robison. DeJesus made 19 tackles last season and his 6.5 sacks tied Coyne for second on the team. Robison had three quarterback hurries in nine games.

Senior linebacker Bill Hauser received second team All-NJAC honors after leading Cortland last season with 86 tackles. He fi nished second on the team with seven pass breakups and also intercepted a pass and made 6.5 tackles for losses. Senior linebacker Josh Jablonski was third on the team with 57 tackles, and his 11 tackles for losses included 5.5 sacks. An honorable mention All-NJAC selection, Jablonski also blocked a school single-season record six kicks and is the school’s career leader with nine blocks. Junior linebacker Dave D’Aurelio fi nished with 31 tackles, three interceptions and two pass breakups in 10 games.

Cortland intercepted 23 passes in 2005, one shy of the school

record set in 1981. The Red Dragons’ returning defensive backs accounted for 13 of those takeaways. Junior cornerback Jeff Beck recorded a team-high fi ve picks, while Sair and junior cornerback Greg Steward fi nished with four apiece. Beck also broke up fi ve passes and made 31 tackles, while Steward made 34 tackles and notched a team-high eight pass breakups.

On offense, junior Alex Smith returns for his third year as Cortland’s starting quarterback. Smith only connected on 48 percent of his throws last year, but still fi nished with 1,720 yards and 11 touchdowns through the air and proved to be a formidable threat on the ground with 274 net rushing yards and four touchdowns on 96 carries. Senior Matt Rickert and junior Dustin Bowser combined to rush for 1,224 yards and 14 touchdowns last year. Rickert, a second team All-NJAC tailback, ran 161 times for 631 yards and seven scores and caught 11 passes for 84 yards and a score. Bowser, an honorable mention All-NJAC recipient, rushed for 593 yards and seven touchdowns on 128 carries and caught fi ve passes for 72 yards and a touchdown. Second team All-NJAC fullback Mike Sveda returns for his senior season after starting nine games. Sveda served

primarily as a blocking back with only three carries all season, although he did catch eight passes for 77 yards.

Cortland returns all of its top pass catchers from a year ago. Senior Anthony Morat led the team with 43 catches for 563 yards and six touchdowns. Senior Drew Lascari, after serving as a backup quarterback for two seasons, made a successful conversion to wide receiver in 2005 with 24 catches for 348 yards in nine games. Sophomore Zak Carter added 19 receptions for 188 yards and two touchdowns and junior Paul Caughell, a second team All-NJAC tight end, made 14 catches for 185 yards and a touchdown.

Senior offensive tackle Matt Ciquera, an honorable mention All-NJAC lineman, returns for

his fourth year as a starter, and senior tackle David Holleran begins his fourth year with the program and second as a starter. Junior center Dan DiFalco started all 10 games last season, with junior center Steve Longinott also seeing action in nine games. Junior Tom Drew is the lone returning guard from last year’s end-of-season two-deep chart.

Senior punter Jimmy Cunneen earned NJAC honorable mention status after averaging 34.6 yards per attempt last year. He pinned opponents inside the 20-yard line 15 times with only four touchbacks. Senior Matt Librock, Cortland’s starting punter in 2004, will also compete for playing time. Juniors Derek Ziders and Matthew Mintz both return to battle for placekicking duties. Ziders, who earned All-NJAC honorable mention honors, made 8-of-13 fi eld goals and 13-of-17 PAT kicks. Mintz started later in the season and made 14-of-15 PAT attempts. He made only 1-of-6 fi eld goals, but four of his fi ve misses came from 38 yards or farther.

About SUNY CortlandLocated atop one of the rolling hills in central New York’s “City of Seven Valleys,” the State University of New York College at Cortland was founded in 1868 as the Cortland Normal School, which included among its earliest students inventor and industrialist Elmer A. Sperry of Sperry-Rand Corp. fame.

Over the decades, the campus expanded and in 1941, by an act of legislature and the Board of Regents, the institution offi cially became a four-year college providing courses leading to the bachelor’s degree. In 1948, Cortland was a founding member of the State University of New York. Today, approximately 7,500 students are pursuing degrees within the College’s three academic divisions — arts and sciences, professional studies and the school of education. Twenty-three departments with a faculty of more than 400 offer the SUNY Cortland student body 70 majors and 44 minors from which to choose. The College’s main campus covers 191 acres and includes 31 traditional and modern buildings. Fifteen of these structures are residence halls providing on-campus housing for approximately 3,000 students. Cortland also operates its Outdoor Education Center at Raquette Lake in the Adirondacks, the Hoxie Gorge Nature Preserve outside Cortland, and the Brauer Memorial Geological Field Station on the Helderberg Escarpment near Albany. At Cortland, athletics are viewed as having an important role in the educational mission of the College. During the fall, winter and spring seasons, Cortland participates in 25 intercollegiate sports — 14 women’s and 11 men’s — in an attempt to provide a broad program which meets the needs, interests and abilities of its students.

The Cortland athletic program placed fi fth nationally out of 438 colleges and universities in the 2005-06 all-sport United States Sports Academy Directors’ Cup Division III standings. The award was formerly known as the Sears Directors’ Cup from 1995-2002 and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of

Athletics (NACDA) Directors’ Cup in the 2002-03 school year. Cortland is the only New York school and one of only six nationwide to fi nish in the top 20 each of the last 11 years. Since 1989, the Red Dragons have captured 13 NCAA Division III team titles.

The College offers its student-athletes excellent athletic facilities. The newly-constructed on -campus stadium features two artifi cial turf fi elds. One fi eld seats 6,500 spectators, the other 1,500. The Cortland football, fi eld hockey, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s track and fi eld teams are among those who utilize the facility, which the New York Times called “...a new stadium worthy of a major university power.”

The Bessie L. Park Physical Education and Recreation Center, opened in 1973, features the Whitney T. Corey Gymnasium with a 3,500 seating capacity; the Olympic-sized Harriet Holsten swimming pool with gallery seating for 1,500; the Alumni Ice Arena, a facility which can accommodate 2,500 spectators; a 500-seat gymnastics arena, racquetball and squash courts, a wrestling room, modern athletic training facilities and the state-of-the-art Francis Woods Fitness Facility.

Nearby Clayton R. Lusk Field House, with its tartan-textured surface, is home for the indoor track teams, varsity practice sessions and recreational activities. Cortland’s soccer teams play on T. Fred “Prof” Holloway Field, which has lights for night contests and newly installed bleachers. The College also has 22 outdoor tennis courts and two outdoor basketball courts and boasts Robert H. Wallace Field (baseball) and Dragon Field (softball) as part of its 51 acres of athletic fi elds.
