tom shifflet-heaD wrestling coach

Tom Shifflet, a four-time NCAA Championships

qualifier and a three-time All-American as a student-athlete at Edinboro University, became the 10th head wrestling coach in Hofstra University’s storied wrestling history on May 17, 2006.

During his tenure, the Pride has captured three Colonial Athletic

Association championships with 13 student-athletes claiming individual conference titles. He has also coached a total of 24 Pride wrestlers to the NCAA Championships including seven or more Pride wrestlers in three of the four years. Hofstra wrestlers have earned All-America honors six times during his tenure and the Pride has recorded a 47-30-4 record in the four seasons.

His first season as the Hofstra Head Wrestling Coach in 2006-07 was one for the record books. Shifflet directed the Pride to an 18-4-2 dual record, a final record season ranking of ninth, the program’s sixth straight Colonial Athletic Association championship and the school’s seventh consecutive conference title, an upset victory of top-ranked Minnesota in November, a sixth-place finish at the NWCA National Duals and, most importantly, a seventh-place finish at the 2007 NCAA Championships in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Along the way, the Pride developed four All-Americans, seven conference champions including the CAA Wrestler of the Year and the Rookie of the Year. For Shifflet’s efforts, he was named the Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year. In 2007-08 Shifflet directed the program to its 11th consecutive winning season with a 13-8 overall record and a 6-0 conference while leading Hofstra to its seventh straight CAA wrestling championship and eighth consecutive conference title. Along the way the Pride faced 13 Top 25 opponents and posted victories over #4 Iowa State, #13 Edinboro and #22 Old Dominion. Hofstra placed third at the Southern Scuffle, 10th in the Cliff Keen-Las Vegas Invitational, first in the CAA Championships with three conference champions and seven national qualifiers, and 15th in the

NCAA Championships with two All-Americans and the Gorrarian Award winner.

In 2008-09 Shifflet, faced with a rebuilding season, captured the University’s ninth consecutive conference championship with three individual champions, posted a 10-6 dual record and a 5-1 mark in the CAA and sent eight wrestlers to the NCAA Championships in St. Louis.

He was also named CAA Coach of the Year. Last season was a year filled with injuries to starters in three weight classes, while a fourth was red-shirted, as the Pride struggled through a 6-12-2 season. Nonetheless, three Pride wrestlers qualified for the NCAA Championships. Shifflet came to Hofstra after four seasons as head wrestling coach at UNC Greensboro, where he was directly responsible for all aspects of the Spartans’ programs including instruction, recruiting, scheduling, academic counseling and community relations. His tenure at UNCG was marked by annual improvements in recruiting, recognition and success. He also created and organized the annual 35-team Southern Scuffle wrestling tournament, which is one of the largest and more competitive Division I regular season tournaments in the country. During his tenure at UNC Greensboro Shifflet recorded a 32-32 dual meet record and had nine wrestlers qualify for the NCAA Championships. A three-time All-American and a four-time national qualifier as a student-


athlete at national powerhouse Edinboro University from 1992 through 1995, Shifflet began his coaching career as an assistant at Georgia State University in1995, helping the Panthers post back-to-back winning seasons, and develop three conference champions and four NCAA qualifiers. In 1997 Shifflet left Georgia State to begin a five-year tenure as an assistant coach at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. During his time with the Big Red, Shifflet coached 24 NCAA qualifiers, three NCAA All-Americans and helped head coach Rob Koll to a pair of Ivy League championships in 1999 and 2001. More importantly, Cornell was also consistently ranked among the nation’s top-15 programs. The final Big Red recruiting class that he was involved with placed fifth at the 2006 NCAA Championships in Oklahoma City. After five seasons at Cornell, the Amherst, New York native was named the head wrestling coach at UNC Greensboro on May 17, 2002. After a typical transitional season in his first year at UNCG, Shifflet managed to sign one of the top recruiting classes in the nation in 2003. That class, which included one high school All-American, four honorable mention high school All-Americans and seven state

champions, received an honorable mention based on InterMat’s 2003 final rankings.

In 2003-04 the Spartans claimed their first winning season since 1998-99, posting a 9-6 overall record with the nine victories ranking as the third most in the program’s 12-year history. In addition, two of his recruits, Kevin Artis (141 lbs.) and Daren Burns (197 lbs.), captured conference championships in their respective weight classes with Burns being named the Southern Conference Freshman of the Year.

Shifflet guided UNCG to the most wins in school history during the 2004-05 season as the Spartans recorded a 12-5 overall record, 4-1 in the Southern Conference. He produced the Southern Conference Freshman of the Year for the second consecutive year as Joe Kemmerer earned the award following a 31-7 season. Kemmerer, along with teammates Daren Burns and Joe Lowe, each won their respective weight classes at the Southern Conference Mat Jam and qualified for the NCAA Tournament. In 2005-06 UNCG tied a school-record by sending four wrestlers to the NCAA Division I Championships in Oklahoma City and the Spartans finished tied for 31st with Harvard in the final Championship standings. The Spartans finished the season with an 11-6 dual match record and a 4-1 mark in the Southern Conference and had two wrestlers miss out on all-American honors by one victory. Shifflet graduated from Edinboro University in 1995 with a degree in health and physical education. As a wrestler, he registered 118 wins for the Edinboro Fighting Scots and was coached by the legendary Bruce Baumgartner. Competing at 142 pounds, Shifflet finished seventh at nationals as a freshman, sixth as a sophomore and third as a senior. He is one of four three-time All-Americans in school history. Shifflet also received the Eastern Wrestling League Freshman of the Year Award in 1992 and the EWL Wrestler of the Year Award in 1995. He was inducted into both the Edinboro University and the EWL Halls of Fame in 2006. In 1996 Shifflet placed seventh in the final U.S. Olympic Trials in freestyle wrestling at 149.5 pounds. One year later he placed sixth in both the World Team Freestyle Trials and the U.S. Open. During July 2008 the Hofstra mentor served as an assistant coach for the New York State Junior National Freestyle Team that competed in Fargo, North Dakota. Shifflet and his wife, Alice, reside in Point Lookout, New York, with their two children, Owen and Elouise.

2010-11 outlook

With 13 returnees including seven starters returning for the 2010-11 season, Hofstra Head Wrestling Coach Tom Shifflet will have no problem forgetting about a

most trying season a year ago. The Pride, who basically had the same returnee and starter numbers as this season, had their season turned upside down when three starters were lost for the season in the first month due to injury or red-shirt, and a fourth was lost as the start of January. But Shifflet is not one to dwell on the past but rather, look ahead to the potential that is the 2010-11 season. He’ll be armed with more experience, more depth, more talent and yes, more potential. “There’s not much you can do about last year except forget it and use it as motivation to work harder and get ready for the coming season,” Shifflet commented. While seven starters are returning, the Pride will have 12 returnees with starting experience plus a junior-transfer with starting experience as well. The Pride roster is up six from last year’s meager 20 and fills the key holes left from last season. Most importantly, six of those returnees have been to the big stage of the NCAA Division I National Championships and will be looking for encores in 2010-11.

125The 125-pound weight class was one of the divisions affected by injury last season. Before the start of the season, sophomore Steve Bonanno (Wantagh, NY), who had 29 victories as a true freshman, suffered a knee injury. When he returned in December, he suffered a season-ending elbow injury in his first match forcing freshman Jamie Franco (Monroe, NY) into the line-up. Bonanno, a 2009 CAA finalist and NCAA qualifier, returns to his starting role in 2010-11 but will be challenged by Franco, who wrestled in 22 matches last season, and freshman Pete DeTore (East Moriches, NY), who placed sixth in the 2009 New York State High School Championships out of Westhampton Beach High School. “At 125, like some other weights as well, it is a good change to have some depth this year,” Shifflet said. “Having Jamie and Pete, who are getting better, in the room to push Steve will be a great thing. We look for big things from Steve this year.”

133Senior Lou Ruggirello (Walden, NY), a three-time CAA champion and NCAA qualifier, returns for his final season after red-shirting last year. Ruggirello, who has posted three 30-win seasons including a career-best 38-7 mark as a sophomore in 2007-08, will be looking to get to the All-American stand this season. Senior Jeff Rotella (West Windsor, NJ), who wrestled 17 of his 24 matches at 133 pounds last year, is a three-year letter-winner and will back up the durable Ruggirello. “Lou took last year to do some extra work on some areas that needed some attention,” Shifflet said. “He’s done a tremendous job getting ready for this season. Lou is a great leader. He is feeling strong and confident and is excited about this season.”

141The 141-pound weight class is a division that provides much depth for 141 and gives several options for 149 and 157 as well. Three wrestlers competed at this weight last year with sophomore Luke Vaith (Hastings, MN) wrestling in 26 matches before dropping down to 133 pounds to close the season. Vaith, an All-CAA Rookie Team selection with a 16-18 overall mark including a 13-13 record at 141, was a 133-pound finalist in the CAA, which qualified just one wrestler to the NCAA Championships. The Minnesota native will be challenged by several newcomers including Arizona State junior transfer Vince Varela (Rio Rancho, NM). Varela was 20-13 for the Sun Devils last season and placed sixth in the Pac-10 Championships. Look for junior Michael Doria (Massapequa, NY), a transfer from Nassau Community College, freshman Cody Ruggirello (Walden, NY), the New York State High Schools career victory record holder with 275 and a five-time New York State Championship top three finisher including a state title in 2007, and sophomore Daniel Manley (Dobbs Ferry, NY), a two-time all-sectional pick in high school who did not compete last season. “We have a great depth at 141 this year,” Shifflet commented. “Vince has a strong work-ethic, is disciplined and has been showing some great signs in the wrestling room. Luke will use this as motivation to challenge for the starting job. With the depth we have, we can move some guys around, if needed.”

Lou Ruggirello


149When Justin Accordino (Wilkes-Barre, PA) suffered a season-ending knee injury in the first month of last season, after losing Bonanno and Ruggirello, Hofstra’s prospects took a turn for the worse. A NCAA qualifier and a third-place finisher in the CAA Championships as a red-shirt freshman in 2008-09, Accordino posted a 25-13 record and just missed out on All-American honors by one victory. He will be challenged by red-shirt freshman and Virginia transfer Zach Clemente (Troy, NY) and two other newcomers sophomores Matt Spataro (Garfield, NJ) and freshman Jordan Colon (West Babylon, NY). Clemente, a two-time New York State high school champion, posted a 10-6 record as a red-shirt with the Cavaliers of Virginia last season. Spataro, a transfer from Western New England College, was a three-time county champion and a two-time New Jersey State Championship place-winner. Colon comes to Hofstra from West Babylon High School where he was an All-Suffolk County selection. “Justin is another guy who has experience, has been to the NCAA Tournament and who we expect great things from,” Shifflet says. “Zach is very talented and I think we have to get

him some experience, either at 149 or 157. I believe you will see some great wrestling out of him.”

157The graduation of Jonny Bonilla-Bowman leaves the 157-pound weight class wide open. While the starter could come from the group at 149 pounds, sophomore Tyler Banks (Griswold, CT) and freshman Nick Terdick (East Northport, NY) will also be battling for the starting job as well. Banks wrestled in 30 matches last season at 141 and 149 pounds and posted an 11-19 record. Bumping up to 157 pounds this year may put this former three-time Connecticut State high school champion in the strong spot for the starting job. Terdick, who recorded a 141-10 scholastic record and was a two-time New York State place-winner as well as a freestyle champion at John Glenn High School, will also challenge at 157 and 165 pounds. “I’m pleased to have quality wrestlers in Tyler, Zach and Nick at 157 pounds,” Shifflet said. “It will be a competitive weight class and I am sure they will battle each other for time on the mat this season.”

165Junior P.J. Gillespie (Long Beach, NY), a two-time NCAA qualifier, returns to his starting role at 165 pounds after a stellar 31-15 mark and a runner-up spot at the CAA Championships last year. The 2009 CAA Rookie of the Year and champion at 149 pounds made the jump to 165 pounds last year and will be looking to get to the All-American stand in 2011. Look for a wrestler from 157 or 149 pounds to back up the durable Gillespie. “P.J. has made the commitment to move to the next level and has become a great team leader in the process,” Shifflet says. “His hard-work and sacrifice will pay off for him.”

174The 174-pound weight class does not have much depth but does return a two-time NCAA qualifier and three-year starter in senior Ryan Patrovich (Bohemia, NY). The fifth-year senior was enjoying the best start to a season in his career last year before suffering a season-ending knee injury in early January. A two-time NCAA qualifier at 165, Patrovich was well on his way to a third NCAA appearance with a 16-7 mark when his injury occurred. “Ryan is another of our guys who is coming back from an injury,” Shifflet said. “He has worked hard, putting in the extra time in rehab and on the mat to get ready for this season. He has experience on the national stage and, with continued hard-work and dedication, there is no reason why he can’t be on the All-American stand in March.”

184Junior Ben Clymer (Germansville, PA), a two-year starter and an NCAA qualifier last season, returns to his starting role at 184 pounds in 2010-11. The CAA Championship runner-up posted a 24-9 record as a sophomore with 25 of his 33 results coming by decision. The consistent Clymer tied for the team-high with 16 dual match victories. Sophomore Pat Murphy (Nazareth, PA), who wrestled in six matches last year at 184 and 197 pounds,

returns to back-up Clymer after posting a 1-3 mark at 184 pounds last season. “Ben has the ability to beat the best wrestlers in the country,” Shifflet said. “It’s just a question of Ben figuring a couple of things out. I think he has made the decision to be more disciplined, work harder and put the extra time in. I think he is on his way to the next level.”

197The 197-pound weight class is another division that has been left wide open by the graduation of last year’s starter Anthony Tortora. This season, four wrestlers will fill the weight class with two freshmen having the upper hand for the starting job. True freshman Matt Loew (Wantagh, NY), a two-time New York State Championship runner-up and a two-time Fargo All-American, posted a 165-35 record a Wantagh High School. The three-time Junior Nationals All-American may be the leading contender heading into the season. Red-shirt freshman and Edinboro-transfer Tim Murphy (Nazareth, PA) comes to Hofstra after a 6-11 mark as a red-shirt with the Fighting Scots last year. The three-time Pennsylvania High School District XI winner will challenge Loew for the starting nod. Two sophomore newcomers, Marcus Furze (Simsbury, CT) and Matt Goldberg (Brooklyn, NY) will be looking for time in a reserve role this season. Furze was a Connecticut State champion in 2008 and was 75-6 during his final two seasons at Simsbury High School. Goldberg posted a 59-8 mark while at James Madison High School in Brooklyn. “There is no doubt that Matt or Tim will be in a tough weight class this season,” Shifflet said. “As freshmen, they will have to go out, be confident and wrestle hard for seven minutes. If they

do that they will continue to get better and make some breaks for themselves and get good results along the way.”

285Sophomore Paul Snyder (Greensburg, PA) returns to his starting job at 285 pounds but will be challenged by a newcomer in freshman Zeal McGrew (Glenville, NY). Snyder rebounded from a knee injury in 2008-09 to start 27 matches at 285 pounds as a red-shirt freshman last season. The All-CAA Rookie Team selection posted an 11-16 record last year including a 5-2 mark in the CAA. McGrew, a two-time New York State High School Championship place-winner, placed second in 2010 and third in 2009. He posted 133 victories in his three-year scholastic career at Burnt Hills Ballston Lake High School. “With the changes that Paul has made and the time that he has put in, we expect better results from him this year,” Shifflet commented. “He looks noticeably bigger and stronger and that’s because he has made the commitment to be better. Zeal will push Paul and, in the process, will get better for the future as well.”

this is hofstra university

Entering its 75th year, Hofstra University provides a dynamic

college experience tailored for engaged and ambitious individuals. Students find their edge at Hofstra, through small classes, a faculty whose primary concern is teaching, cutting edge technology, extensive library resources, internships, and special educational programs that appeal to their interests and abilities. The Hofstra community is driven, dynamic and energetic, helping students find and focus their strengths to prepare them for a successful future.

In its relatively short history, Hofstra has established itself as a world-class institution of higher education and cultural enterprise. Each academic year, the Hofstra campus and the programs offered grow and change to meet the demands of our students and our community.

Hofstra opened in 1935 as a commuter school with all classes and offices housed in one building. Since those early days, Hofstra has evolved into an international institution with a student body hailing from 47 states and territories, and 67 countries around the world. The beautiful campus is an accredited arboretum with 115 buildings on 240 acres. There are approximately 4,200 students living on campus, and Hofstra offers them and all students an extensive array of academic and social activities. Additionally, Hofstra’s close proximity to Manhattan means that students have easy access to the wondrous cultural, social and career offerings of the city.

What has remained consistent throughout the years, however, is the sense of community on campus, the eagerness of our students to learn and the commitment of the Hofstra faculty and administration to provide a challenging education that

encourages the pursuit of lifelong learning.

The Colleges and Schools of the University are: Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Frank G. Zarb School of Business, New College for Interdisciplinary Studies, School of Communication, School of Education, Health and Human Services,

School of Law, School for University Studies, Honors College, Hofstra University Continuing Education and Hofstra University School of Medicine in partnership with the North Shore-LIJ Health System. Bachelor’s degrees are offered in about 140 areas of study. Graduate degrees are offered, including Ph.D., Ed.D., Psy.D., Au.D., and J.D. degrees, advanced certificates and professional diplomas, in more approximately 150 programs of study.

Hofstra joined with North Shore-LIJ Health System in announcing plans to establish a medical school on the University campus in October 2007. The new school, which will enroll its first students in 2011, will be the first allopathic (MD) medical school in Nassau County and the first in New York State since 1963.

In October 2008 the eyes of the world were on Hofstra as the University hosted the final presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain. The October 15 debate, moderated by Bob Schieffer, was a transformational moment for the University, highlighting the achievements of our students and faculty and their engagement in the political process. Leading up to the debate, students and the entire community were engaged by the year-long Educate ’08 program, almost 150 lectures, conferences, and events focused on the issues, history and politics of the presidency. Hofstra has followed the Educate ’08 program with Define ’09, a year-long series of programs designed to examine the new presidential administration, its policies and initiatives, the challenges we currently face and ways of addressing our country’s most pressing issues.

2008 also saw Hofstra award its first Guru Nanak Interfaith Prize to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. The new international award, which recognizes efforts at interfaith dialogue, received 75 nominations for individuals and organizations from around the world.

Hofstra’s School of Communication is one of the largest, most advanced non-commercial television facilities in the East. Students take classes and work in Dempster Hall, a sophisticated


television production/post-production facility with two broadcast-quality studios and control rooms; two advanced online video edit suites; two Avid non-linear digital editing systems and several cuts-only video work stations. Two satellite dishes are available with one dish providing special news feeds for the broadcast journalism room, which also has access to Associated Press, Lexis-Nexis and Dow Jones services. In addition, the facility is capable of broadcasting student-produced programming to the entire campus on our own cable channels. Also located here is the University’s radio station (WRHU/88.7-FM), which is celebrating its 50th

anniversary in 2009, audio production studios, a film/video screening room, film editing rooms, a computer laboratory, a speech performance studio and a large dance studio.

Hofstra’s C.V. Starr Hall offers academic facilities that are among the most technologically advanced in the nation. Every seat in every classroom allows students direct access to the Internet and Hofstra network, including the resources of Hofstra’s Axinn Library.

Hofstra’s growing computer facilities offer extensive high-tech training opportunities. There are computer terminals throughout the campus for student and faculty use, with more than 750 PC, Macintosh and UNIX workstations available in labs and classrooms.

Hofstra hosts more than 500 cultural events annually, bringing thousands of scholars, dignitaries and other participants to campus. More than 200 musical and dramatic performances take place on campus each year.

The Hofstra Museum, which houses one of the largest art collections in the metropolitan area, coordinates approximately eight exhibitions annually and offers exhibition areas and an extensive outdoor sculpture collection, with 75 pieces. The Hofstra Museum is accredited by the American Association of Museums – one of only 94 universities in the nation and one of six in New York to hold that distinction.

Hofstra also has six theaters, a student newspaper, a lively student center, a recreation center and numerous athletic facilities, including the 13,000-seat James M. Shuart Stadium and the 5,045-seat David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex.

Director of athletics

Jack Hayes is in his seventh year as director of athletics at Hofstra University in 2010-11. Hayes was appointed by Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz as the University’s director of athletics on October 4, 2004. Hayes came to Hofstra after serving as an associate director of

athletics at the University of Connecticut for three years. Hayes, the eighth director of athletics at Hofstra, leads a department that includes 17 Division I teams, 90 coaches and administrative staff members and 350 student-athletes.

Hayes’ proven expertise in enhancing academic and athletic success of student-athletes, strategic planning, fund-raising, marketing, university relations, facility enhancement, budgetary management, and NCAA compliance complements Hofstra University’s athletic department in its quest to further enhance its athletic program, and assist Hofstra’s student-athletes both on and off the field.

The Hofstra Athletic program has flourished under Hayes’ leadership, winning 19 CAA Championships and making 28 postseason appearances, including 21 NCAA Tournaments, since the 2004-05 academic year. In 2009-10 four Pride teams qualified for postseason play, while in 2008-09 the Pride wrestling team won the CAA Championship for an eighth consecutive year and the men’s lacrosse program advanced to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large selection. In addition, Hofstra hosted the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Quarterfinals in 2009, which saw nearly 12,000 people fill James M. Shuart Stadium for the event.

Hayes has placed a significant emphasis on fund-raising during his tenure. Pride Club membership reached all-time highs, both in terms of the number of contributors and funds raised as the organization topped the $1 million mark for the third consecutive year in 2009-10. Resources generated through fund-raising efforts have been used to enhance programs and facilities available to student-athletes. Recent initiatives include the construction of baseball’s Quinn Family Grandstand and an academic center on the second floor of the James M. Shuart Stadium Building. Other recent renovations include locker rooms, the wrestling room, athletic training rooms in Margiotta Hall and the Physical Fitness Center, the basketball media room in the Mack Sports Complex, a press box at the Hofstra Soccer Stadium, replacement of the turf at James M. Shuart Stadium and the construction of the Hofstra Field Hockey Stadium.

In 2006 Hayes reintroduced the Hofstra Athletics Hall of Fame after more than a 50-year absence, inducting four classes since that time. He also led an effort to retire the uniform numbers of prominent Hofstra student-athletes with 20 jersey retirement ceremonies held during the 2008-09 academic year.

Active on a national level, Hayes served on the NCAA Division I Lacrosse Committee from September 2006 to September 2008. In September 2010 he was appointed to the NCAA Leadership Council, which is an advisory body to the Division I Board of Directors.

Hayes came to Hofstra with more than 14 years of athletic administration experience, including management positions at four Division I institutions – Connecticut, Fordham, St. John’s and Fairfield. Hayes received a master’s degree in education in 1992 with a concentration in sport management from the University of Connecticut. He holds a bachelor’s degree (1989) from Providence College, where he was a member of Providence’s lacrosse team. He was also awarded a certificate of completion in 2001 from the Sports Management Institute, Consortium of the Universities of Michigan and Texas. A native of Providence, Rhode Island, Hayes graduated from the Providence Country Day School where he lettered in football, basketball and lacrosse. He was inducted, as a member of his high school basketball team, into the Providence Country Day Athletic Hall of Fame in October 2004. In October 2010 Hayes became a two-time member of Providence Country Day’s Athletic Hall of Fame when he was inducted, along with the rest of his high school lacrosse team.

Hayes resides in East Northport, New York, with his wife Bridget, daughter Katie (8), and sons Matt (5) and Tommy (2).

athletic acaDemic suPPort

Hofstra University is committed to the pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. The University views

participation in intercollegiate athletics as benefiting the student-athlete in an educationally enhancing experience beyond any other opportunity available. Hofstra also realizes the time commitment made by student-athletes and has committed the facilities and resources to support all students.

The University Tutorial Program (UTP) provides free tutoring in every subject area to any Hofstra student. Students are able to obtain up to 1 1/2 hours of individual tutorial assistance per week for up to three courses. They are also able to utilize the various help labs on campus, which specialize in providing assistance in writing, business and QM, and biology and chemistry. In addition to this service, student-athletes are assigned an academic advisor, through the Center for University Advisement, who helps address the various needs of student-athletes. The academic advisor emphasizes four areas in their efforts to ensure the academic success of Hofstra’s student-athletes.

Area one is academic counseling. Services are provided in the areas of academic planning, career planning, personal counseling, and campus and community referrals. The advisor also meets with prospective student-athletes, at the coach’s request, to share the many benefits of a Hofstra University education.

Area two is academic advising. The academic advisor serves as the primary advisor for first-year and undecided student-athletes, and also assists upperclassmen who have declared a major.

Area three is academic monitoring. The advisor monitors the academic progress of student-athletes to ensure compliance with Hofstra University, NCAA and conference regulations. The advisor’s regular communication with the faculty and coaches provide

opportunities for early intervention should academic difficulties arise.

Area four is study halls. The University Tutorial Program supports athletic study halls by providing tutors in various subjects as necessary. The academic advisors also assess the needs of individual student-athletes to provide the most effective study environment. The assessment tool administered by the Center for University Advisement is also used to provide various enrichment seminars for the student-athletes such as time management, writing skills, campus resources, and surviving the college transition.

In 2010 a new Academic Center was opened on the second level of the James M. Shuart Stadium Building. The center houses the offices of the Student-Athlete Services staff, as well as a large computer lab with printer access for use by Hofstra student-athletes, a quiet study area with wireless internet access and two group study/tutor rooms with power point access and white boards.


sPorts meDicine/athletic training

Through a comprehensive athletic training program, Hofstra University student-athletes are provided excellent health care during their time at the University. A coordinated effort between

the University Health and Wellness Center, the Athletic Department and outside health care providers ensures every student-athlete the best medical attention possible.

University student-athletes have direct access to a myriad of health care services. Managing the coverage of every practice and competition event is Hofstra University’s athletic training staff, which is led by eighth-year Head Athletic Trainer Evan Malings and features seven full-time athletic trainers and numerous student athletic trainers. The athletic trainers provide injury management, rehabilitation and treatment to the entire Athletic program. Utilizing three state-of-the-art athletic training rooms, these professionals work tirelessly to ensure the safe participation of Hofstra’s student-athletes and to return injured athletes to play quickly and safely.

Supporting the athletic trainers is team physician Dr. Michael Yorio. Dr. Yorio, a physician with Pro Health Care, Inc. in Lake Success, New York, is in his second year on Hofstra’s medical team. Yorio is an internist with specialized training in sports medicine. He earned his undergraduate degree at Villanova University, and received his medical degree from the

SUNY Health Science Center in Syracuse. Yorio previously served as a sports medicine fellow with the University of Maryland Orthopedics. Prior to that, he was a resident physician in internal medicine at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Yorio was named the Director of Player Medical Services for the 2008 U.S. Open Tennis Tournament in Flushing, New York, and is on the medical staff for the New York Islanders. He also worked as a team physician for the University of Maryland from 2003 to 2005.

Hofstra University sponsors a fully accredited, highly competitive undergraduate degree program for athletic training majors, in which Hofstra student athletic trainers participate in all aspects of the health care system.

hofstra heritage

The Shield LogoIn 2005 Hofstra introduced a new logo as part of a University-wide re-imaging. Both the University’s logo as well as the Pride logo were designed by advertising agency Powell New York, a full-service branding and marketing agency, noted as one of the ten firms to watch in 2005 in Advertising Age.

The new University logo features an “H” within a shield design. Hofstra University has always been known for both a tradition of academic excellence and a willingness to evolve to meet the needs of students and the greater society. This shield represents the University’s commitment to our heritage and a tradition of academic excellence, while the dynamic representation of the H within the shield embodies the evolutionary, changing nature of the University. Hofstra University has both honored its traditions and heritage while embracing changing disciplines, using new technology and remaining relevant to scholarly pursuits and the demands of industry.

The SealThe Hofstra seal was designed from the royal Dutch emblem by art instructor Constant Van de Wall. The seal is modeled on the coat of arms of the House of Orange-Nassau. The round seal includes the coat of arms, flanked by lions on either side. A lion also stands in the center of the coat of arms, holding a sword in its right claw and a bundle of seven arrows, which represent the seven provinces of Holland, in its left. The seal also carries the motto of the House of Orange-Nassau in Old French: “Je maintiendray” (I stand steadfast). In 1988 one of the two lions on the seal was officially replaced with a lioness. The Hofstra seal is still in use today, though not as a logo. The seal will be affixed to formal documents, and used for official purposes such as commencement, convocations, and official University functions.

The PrideHofstra’s athletic teams are officially known as the Pride, providing our teams with a strong, consistent image that resonates with the Hofstra community. The new Hofstra Athletics logo consists of a graphic mark of a male and female lion in powerful, synchronized motion with the word mark of the Hofstra Pride or the specific sports team. This logo will be the only one used by Hofstra Athletics.

The Hofstra Pride refers to a pack of lions, male and female, which work together towards a common goal and symbolize determination and strength. The Pride conveys both the teamwork and togetherness that is a trait of lions living in prides, who have a close bond and work together for the good of the entire group. The teamwork evident in prides is a trait of Hofstra’s student-athletes, who support each other in furtherance of a common goal, while working tirelessly to represent their teams and, in turn, the University. Lions also possess speed, tenacity, and agility, and are relentless in their pursuit of a goal, which are traits our student-athletes demonstrate both on and off the field.

The first consistent use of the word “Pride” relating to athletics was in 1989 when the University’s athletic booster club was founded and called itself The Pride Club, which at the time simply referred to the pride that alumni and fans had for our teams. The Pride identity has progressed over the past decade in a more specific fashion than just the expression of a feeling. After one lion on the Hofstra seal was changed into a lioness to symbolize gender equity, the University mascots – Kate and Willie Pride, a lioness and lion – were introduced.

HOFSTRA SYMbOLS AND HERITAGEThe Symbols of Hofstra University


Ties to Dutch heritage and the Netherlands began with William S. Hofstra, after whom the school

is named and on whose property the University was started. William Hofstra died in 1932 and when his wife, Kate, died 16 months later, her will provided that their house, 15-acre estate, and bulk of her inheritance were to be used for a “public, charitable, benevolent, or scientific purpose” as a memorial to her husband.

The idea for a college came from Truesdel Peck Calkins, former Hempstead superintendent of schools, who was then with New York University. He suggested that NYU might offer extension courses on the Hofstra property. Hofstra opened in September 1935, as a two-year extension branch of NYU; its official name was “Nassau College – Hofstra Memorial of New York University at Hempstead, Long Island.” When the doors opened, the sole building on campus was Hofstra’s mansion, which he had affectionately named the Netherlands after his homeland, and all classes were held there. The mansion, which houses administrative offices, is now the center of Hofstra’s 240-acre campus, and has been renamed Hofstra Hall.

AbOUT LONG ISLAND

Long Island has a rich history as an active, vibrant community, a summer playground, and home to some of New York’s most prominent families.

Five distinct regions make up Long Island:• North Shore, otherwise known as the Gold Coast, with dozens

of historic sites dating back to colonial days and Gatsby-era mansions.

• South Shore, the Island’s spectator sports and entertainment center, with world-famous Jones and Fire Island Beaches, and home to the New York Islanders.

• Central Suffolk, with beautiful forests and natural inlets, the world’s largest factory outlet center and a huge water park.

• North Fork, with an array of vineyards, waterfront ports and farm stands.

• South Fork, widely known as “The Hamptons,” with its pristine beaches and exclusive villages.

You can catch a Hofstra shuttle bus to Jones Beach – a state park with six miles of gorgeous coastline, a boardwalk, swimming pools, golf and outdoor concerts.

With everything from museums, historical sites and lighthouses, to sophisticated malls, designer outlets and shopping villages, to wineries and farm stands, to family fun parks, aquariums and zoos, there is plenty to do on Long Island.

On January 2, 2000 the Hofstra Wrestling program moved into the 5,045-seat Hofstra Arena, which

was renamed the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition complex in 2006. Construction of the $15 million, 93,000 square-foot facility began in the fall of 1998 and was completed in December 1999. The Complex also houses the Hofstra Basketball teams, and hosts commencements, exhibitions, trade shows, concerts and other special events.

“Mr. Mack has been extremely generous to Hofstra over the years, and the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex will serve as just the latest reminder on our campus of that generosity,” said Hofstra University President Stuart Rabinowitz, referring to the David S. and Sondra Mack Student Center and Mack Hall, which houses the University Club.

In October 2008 the Mack Sports Complex hosted the third and final debate between presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain, which was broadcast live around the world. This past September the Mack Sports Complex hosted a performance by NBC Late Night talk show host and comedian Jimmy Fallon as part of the University’s 75th Anniversary celebration.

The Mack Sports Complex includes full-chair back seating for spectators in an arena configuration. The air-conditioned facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art electronic scoreboard, men’s and women’s locker rooms, a

media room, an athletic training room, a large weight room, dressing rooms for stage events, four concession stands, five ticket windows, six luxury boxes and offices for Hofstra’s athletic administration and basketball staffs.

match summaries

Sunday, November 15 vs. Buffalo: Each team won five matches but freshman Andrew Schutt’s come-from-behind victory in the final 15 seconds in the final match of the day allowed the Bulls of Buffalo to tie the Hofstra Pride, 16-16, at the David S. Mack Sports Complex. Schutt trailed 3-0 in the 141-pound finale after Hofstra red-shirt freshman Tyler Banks’ takedown with 16 seconds remaining in the third period. But the newcomer reversed the Pride wrestler three seconds later and then added three back-points for a 5-4 victory after Banks took the riding time point. Sunday’s contest opened up at 149 pounds with Buffalo’s 16th-ranked Desi Green posting an escape with 1:51 in the third period to take a 3-2 victory over Hofstra sophomore Justin Accordino. Ninth-ranked Hofstra senior Jonny Bonilla-Bowman started a four-match Pride winning streak and tied the match at 3-3 with a 10-5 victory over Andrew Stella at 157 pounds. Sophomore P.J. Gillespie posted a 5-2 win over John Martin Cannon at 165 before junior Ryan Patrovich, ranked 10th by Intermat, cruised to a 10-3 victory over Matt Bogardus at 174 pounds.

But Buffalo sophomore Kevin Smith tallied a 27-12 tech fall win over Hofstra junior Jeff Rotella at 133 pounds but didn’t have any back-points for a four-point victory to close the deficit to 16-13 setting up Schutt’s match-tying win.

The Pride defeated Northern Colorado, 27-9 but dropped decisions to #18 Virginia (28-6) and #8 Nebraska (29-6). Clymer, the only Hofstra wrestler to go undefeated in the Northeast Duals, is now 8-0 on the season. In the Pride’s first match against Northern Colorado, Hofstra jumped out to a 9-0 lead. Freshman Jamie Franco (4-2) posted a reversal

in overtime for a 2-0 victory over #15 Tony Mustari and junior Jeff Rotella (1-3) won by injury default over Casey Cruz. The Bears came back as Kenny Hashimoto notched a 4-1 victory over Pride freshman Luke Vaith (5-3) at 141 and Justin Gonzales downed red-shirt freshman Tyler Banks (4-3), 6-2 at 149 pounds to close to 9-6.

But Hofstra captured five of the next six matches to win going away.

Red-shirt freshman Paul Snyder (3-3) closed the match with a 5-2 victory over Justin Tuell at 285. In the second match, the Cavaliers of Virginia won eight of the 10 matches and displayed their superb riding ability on the way to victory. Virginia won the first five matches, including an tech fall upset by Danny Gonsor over # 8 Jonny Bonilla-Bowman at 157 pounds. Sophomore P.J. Gillespie put Hofstra on the board with a 5-1 victory over Mike Chaires at 165 to close the deficit to 19-3. But 2009 All-American and #6 Chris Henrich defeated #10 Ryan Patrovich, 7-0, at 174-pounds before Clymer posted Hofstra’s last victory of the match with a 4-2 decision over Mike Salopek at 184. Virginia All-American and #15 Brent Jones defeated Anthony Tortora, 7-5 and Jack Danilkowicz downed Paul Snyder, 5-2, at 285 to close out the match.

Justin Accordino


The Pride’s final match of the day, against #8 Nebraska, was similar to the Virginia match with the Cornhuskers winning eight of the 10 matches. Once again, the Pride dropped the first five matches of the contest to jump out to a 17-0 lead with C.J. Napier posting a 12-4 major decision over Jeff Rotella at 133 and defending national champion and top-ranked Jordan Burroughs posting a 22-9 major decision over Bonilla-Bowman.

Patrovich, the fifth seed in the tournament, opened the second day with a win by medical forfeit over Navy’s Luke Rebertus in the fifth round of the consolations. He was then pinned by the sixth seed, Purdue’s Luke Manual in 1:27. Patrovich then defeated Justin Zeerip from Michigan, 4-1, in the fifth-place match. He is now 11-4 on the season. Gillespie, who was unseeded in the tournament, opened his second day with a 9-5 decision over Navy’s Oscar Huntley, who was seeded 11th. He then dropped a 3-2 decision on the riding time point to Wyoming’s seventh-seeded Shane Onufer. Gillespie, who is 14-4 on the season, then dropped an 8-5 decision to fifth-seed Paul Young from Indiana in the fifth-place match. The Pride finished with 30.5 points in 24th place as Ohio State won the tournament with 122.5 points. Cornell was second with 121.5 points and Oklahoma was third with 109.5. Sunday, December 13 vs. Lock Haven: Senior Jonny Bonilla-Bowman and sophomore P.J.

Lock Haven sophomore Brock Parker, ranked 20th by Amateur Wrestling News at 149 pounds, tallied three points in the third period and added the riding time (1:29) point to put the Bald Eagles on the board with a 4-2 win over Pride red-shirt freshman Tyler Banks (4-6).

match summaries

Hofstra lead to 10-3 with a dominating 24-11 major decision over Seth Creasy at 157 pounds. Gillespie, ranked 17th by InterMat at 165 pounds, took a 12-0 lead after two periods on the way to a 13-1 major decision over Kevin Dufresne. Gillespie, a sophomore, improved to 15-4 on the season and bumped the Pride lead to 14-3. Junior Ryan Patrovich, ranked 10th at 174 pounds by InterMat, cruised to a 5-0 victory over Aaron Ernest to improve to 12-4 on the year. Sophomore Ben Clymer (11-2) claimed Hofstra’s last victory of the day, taking a 3-1 lead after two periods and holding on for a 3-2 win over Jeremie Cook to give the Pride a 20-3 advantage. Lock Haven battled back, though, beginning with a 5-1 decision by Harry Turner over Pride senior Anthony Tortora (4-8) at 197 pounds. Turner had a takedown in the second and third periods and an escape in the second to close the gap to 20-6. Sophomore Dan Craig improved to 9-2 on the year with a 16-7 major decision over Hofstra red-shirt freshman Paul Snyder (4-8) at 285 pounds. The 125 pound match was the most costly match of the contest for the Pride as sophomore Steve Bonanno, making his 2009-10 debut after a preseason leg injury, suffered an arm injury just 24 seconds into his match against Nick Hyatt and took an injury default. After Hyatt’s default win, the Bald Eagles trailed by four at 20-16 heading into the match finale at 133 pounds. Lock Haven sophomore John Trumbetti jumped out to a 5-0 lead after one period and expanded it to 8-1 after two periods. But Hofstra freshman Jamie Franco held Trumbetti off and would not let him get the major victory in the 8-2 decision as the Pride pulled out the one-point match victory.

Patrovich, ranked 10th in the country at 174 pounds, recorded a 5-2 decision over Indiana’s Trevor Perry, in Wednesday morning’s quarterfinals. He was then sent to the consolation bracket with a 4-0 loss to Virginia’s fourth-ranked Chris Henrich in the semifinals. Patrovich then dropped a 6-5 decision to Minnesota’s Scott Glasser, placing him in the match for fifth place, which he won when George Mason’s Bagna Tovuujav gave a medical forfeit. Patrovich is now 16-6 on the season. Gillespie, ranked 16th in the nation at 165 pounds, dropped a 4-2 decision to Old Dominion’s 10th-ranked Chris Brown in the

championship quarterfinals. He then defeated North Carolina’s Kyle Kiss, 9-2, in the fifth round of the consolation bracket before dropping a 5-2 decision to Cornell’s ninth-ranked Justin Kerber. Gillespie then dropped a 3-1 decision to Penn’s Stephen Burak in the seventh-place match. Gillespie is now 18-7 on the year. The Pride, who competed with just five wrestlers at the Scuffle, finished with 24.5 points as the Big Red of Cornell captured the team title with 164 points. Minnesota (151.5) was second followed by Indiana (131.5), Edinboro (97.5) and Virginia (96.5). Sunday, January 3 vs. Ohio State: Hofstra senior Jonny Bonilla-Bowman and sophomore Ben Clymer each posted decision victories but the Buckeyes won the rest as #3 Ohio State defeated the Pride, 32-6, at the Mack Sports Complex. The Buckeyes won the first four matches to jump out to a commanding 20-0 lead. Starting at 125 pounds, Ohio State junior Nikko Triggas (16-9) took home a forfeit win for a 6-0 lead. The Pride, who have already lost their starters at both 125 and 149 pounds to season-ending injuries this season, lost their 133-pounder, freshman Jamie Franco for at least one week with a shoulder injury in his match against sophomore Ian Paddock (11-4). Franco (4-8) was forced to take a medical default at the 5:40 mark. OSU senior Reece Humphrey (16-0), ranked number one at 141 pounds, gave the Buckeyes a 16-0 advantage with an 18-7 major decision over Pride freshman Luke Vaith (6-7). Buckeye senior Lance Palmer (16-1), ranked fourth at 149 pounds, boosted the Ohio State lead to 20-0 with a 12-4 major decision over Hofstra red-shirt freshman Tyler Banks (6-9). Hofstra got on the scoreboard at 157 pounds behind senior Jonny Bonilla-Bowman (4-2). Following a 6-6 tie after one period, the 19th-ranked Bonilla-Bowman took the lead in the second with an escape and two takedowns on the way to an 18-11 victory over sophomore Sean Nemac (10-4).

But the Buckeyes would bounce back to with consecutive victories at 165 and 174. At 165, seventh-ranked Colt Sponseller (12-2) posted a third period escape and a takedown and benefitted from riding out Pride sophomore P.J. Gillespie (18-8) in the second period for a 4-0 victory. Senior Dave Rella (11-4) notched a third period escape and held on for a 3-2 victory over Hofstra’s 10th-ranked junior Ryan Patrovich (16-7) at 174 pounds. The Pride posted their second and final victory of the day at 184 pounds when 20th-ranked sophomore Ben Clymer (12-4) escaped with 1:07 to play in the third period to snap a 3-3 tie and held on for a 4-3 win over sophomore T.C. Pendleton. The Buckeyes captured the last two matches with sophomore C.J. Magrum (9-5) cruising to a 6-1 victory over Pride senior Anthony Tortora (4-9) at 197 pounds, and OSU senior Corey Morrison (9-6) posting a 10-3 win over Hofstra red-shirt freshman Paul Snyder (4-9) at 285 pounds.

Brown senior Branden Stearns edged Pride senior Anthony Tortora, 3-2, at 197 pounds to give the Bears an 18-13 lead heading into the final match of the contest at 285 pounds. Hofstra red-shirt freshman Paul Snyder needed a tech fall over Larry Otsuka to tie or a pin to win the match.

In the nightcap against Harvard, the visitors from Massachusetts took the first two matches as Chadwick Eason took a forfeit win at 125 and freshman Stephen Keith notched a 12-2 major decision over the Pride’s Jeff Rotella (1-10) at 133 pounds for a 10-0 lead.

The Crimson added to the lead at 165 when Michael Sadler tagged Pride red-shirt freshman Ryan Colmer (0-2) with a 13-6 victory. Hofstra sophomore P.J. Gillespie (21-8), who moved up one weight class to 174 for the match, posted a 12-4 major decision over Bryan Panzano to bring the Pride to within six at 16-10.

With the Crimson forfeiting the 285-pound match, the contest came down to the 197-pound bout between Hofstra sophomore

Ben Clymer, who went up one weight class, and Harvard’s Sean Murphy. Clymer (15-4) jumped out to an 8-0 lead with riding time after two periods. But Murphy prevented the Pride’s tech fall bid as Clymer had to settle for a 13-0 major decision. The Crimson forfeit allowed the Pride to tie the match at 20-20.

Saturday, February 6 at Cornell: The seventh-ranked Big Red of Cornell won nine of ten matches on the way to a 37-6 victory over the Pride. Only a Bonilla-Bowman win by injury default at 157 pounds prevented a Cornell shutout victory. The Big Red, which has six nationally-ranked wrestlers including two number one ranked wrestlers and a number two, posted two wins by fall, two by major decision, one tech fall and four decisions in the contest. The most exciting match of the contest was at 165 pounds where Hofstra’s 17th-ranked sophomore P.J. Gillespie squared off against unranked junior Justin Kerber. After a scoreless first period, each wrestler recorded escapes in the ensuing periods, Gillespie in the second and Kerber in the third, to send the match into sudden victory. Hofstra’s Long Beach, New York native, who was wrestling in his second straight sudden victory match, wouldn’t be as lucky in this one as Kerber recorded a takedown with 30 seconds remaining for the 3-1 decision.

Friday-Saturday, March 5-6 at CAA Championships: Three Hofstra wrestlers qualified for the 2010 NCAA Championships in Omaha, Nebraska as the Pride finished fifth at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships at Rider University’s Alumni Gymnasium. The Pride, who saw their streak of consecutive conference championships end at nine including eight in the CAA, will send senior Jonny Bonilla-Bowman, and sophomores P.J. Gillespie and Ben Clymer to the 2010 NCAA Championships. Hofstra, which finished in fifth place with 41 points, trailed CAA champion Binghamton (87.5), Old Dominion (73), Rider (58.5) and Drexel (46.5) in the standings while George Mason (29.5), Boston U. (28), Sacred Heart (21.5) followed the Pride. Three Pride wrestlers were in the championship matches with four others in the consolation bracket on the final day of the CAA Championship. At 133 pounds, freshman Luke Vaith gave top-seed Steve Mytych from Drexel all he could handle for three periods. But after a 1-1 tie through

seven minutes, Mytych copped the CAA title on the riding time point. With the CAA granted one automatic bid to the NCAA Championships at 133 pounds, Vaith (16-18) will have to wait to see if he has earned at at-large bid to Omaha. At 165 pounds where the CAA had two automatic bids, Gillespie (31-13) battled top-seeded Chris Brown from Old Dominion before dropping a 2-1 decision in the second tiebreaker. The Long Beach native then downed Rider’s Rob Morrison in the “true second place” match, 9-5 to earn his second NCAA Championship bid. At 184 where the CAA had two bids to the NCAA Championships, Clymer fell to Binghamton’s Nate Schiedel, 4-3, in the title match. Clymer (24-7) will make his first NCAA Championship appearance. At 157 pounds where three NCAA bids were on the line in the CAA, senior Jonny Bonilla-Bowman (18-6), who dropped a 12-9 decision to Drexel’s Joe Booth Friday night, earned his way into the NCAA Championships by defeating Rider’s Zac Cibula, 8-4 in the consolation semifinals, and Sacred Heart’s Anthony Priore in the third-place match to get his fourth bid to the NCAA Championship. Three other Pride wrestlers ended their seasons in the consolation bracket Saturday. At 125 pounds, freshman Jamie Franco ended his season with a 6-5 loss to Sacred Heart’s Patrick Feeley in the consolation semifinals. Franco wraps up his season with a 6-16 mark. At 141 pounds, red-shirt freshman Tyler Banks (10-20) dropped a 3-1 decision to Rider’s Matt Bradley in the consolation semifinals. At 285 pounds, red-shirt freshman Paul Snyder (11-16) dropped a 5-2 decision to Binghamton’s Corey Waite in the consolation semifinals to end his season. The CAA received 18 automatic bids to the NCAA Championships as part of 284 automatic bids the NCAA granted to 11 conferences and regionals. Hofstra’s three NCAA qualifiers in 2010 mark the 14th consecutive year that three or more Pride wrestlers have qualified for the NCAA Championships.

the cOLONiaL athLetic assOciatiON

Coming off the celebration of its 25th Anniversary in 2009-10, the Colonial Athletic Association has

built a reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences both athletically and academically.

The CAA encompasses five of the nation’s nine largest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Atlanta. The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 12 national players of the year, 12 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 20 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2009-10 the CAA had more than 1,700 of the league’s 4,000 student-athletes receive the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport. The conference had 28 teams in 15 different sports receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards based on the latest Academic Progress Report released in 2010.

The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes six of the nation’s top 25 media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (7), Atlanta (8), Washington, D.C. (9) and Baltimore (25). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 20 million.

The CAA currently sponsors 23 sports with the addition of a football league in 2007 and women’s rowing in 2009. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. In 2009-10, 20 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 32 student-athletes received All-America honors.

The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with a league-record six teams advancing to postseason play in 2009-10. Conference champion Old

Dominion made its third NCAA Tournament appearance in the last six years and knocked off Notre Dame in the first round. Northeastern and William and Mary received berths in the NIT. VCU posted five straight victories and captured the CBI championship. Hofstra also took part in the CBI and George Mason played in the CIT. In 2006, George Mason captured the nation’s imagination by becoming the first mid-major program since 1979 to reach the Final Four, knocking off powerhouses Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut along the way. The Patriots were ranked No. 8 in the final ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll, which was the highest ever for a CAA team.

A league-record seven CAA women’s basketball teams advanced to postseason play in 2009-10. James Madison represented the conference in the NCAA Tournament after capturing its first CAA championship since 1989. Delaware, Drexel, Hofstra, Old Dominion and VCU participated in the WNIT, with VCU advancing to the third round. Towson took part in the WBI. ODU, which won an NCAA-record 17 straight CAA titles from 1992-2008, boasts three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and was national runner-up in 1997.

The conference also excels in many other sports. CAA squads have combined to win 10 field hockey national titles since the championship began in 1981. Delaware and Towson have each reached the Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship. Three women’s soccer teams have reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament in two of the past three seasons and at least one men’s soccer team has advanced to the final 16 of the NCAA Championship in five of the last eight years. In men’s cross country, William & Mary placed fifth nationally as a team in 2009 and had three runners earn All-America status. In the pool, George Mason’s Ashley Danner finished as the runner-up in the 100 breaststroke at the 2010 NCAA Championship and received All-America honors along with Towson’s Meredith Budner. The CAA has sent multiple teams to the NCAA Baseball Championship in nine of the last 13 years and has had at least 12 players selected in the last eight Major League Baseball drafts. The conference also boasts numerous All-

Americans in tennis, golf, track and field, women’s lacrosse and wrestling.

CAA member institutions are committed to excellence in the classroom. The Colonial Academic Alliance was created in 2002 by the league’s presidents with a goal of expanding their partnership to all aspects of university life outside of intercollegiate athletics. Among the programs already established are an undergraduate research conference, coordination of study abroad programs and granting visiting academic status to student-athletes traveling to an away contest so that they have access to libraries, academic resource centers and computer labs.

In 2002, two faculty members from CAA institutions were awarded academia’s most coveted distinction – the Nobel Prize. John B. Fenn, a research professor in the Department of Chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University, received the Nobel Prize for chemistry, and Vernon Smith, a professor of economics and law at George Mason University, shared the Nobel Prize in economic sciences.

Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. The conference traces its roots back to 1983 when three of its current members- George Mason University, James Madison University, and the College of William and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, the United States Naval Academy and the University of Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC South). During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquired two new members (the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and American University) and decided to form a new association. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985.

Charter members George Mason, James Madison, UNC Wilmington and William and Mary were joined by Old Dominion University in 1991 and by Virginia Commonwealth University in 1995. The conference added the University of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra University and Towson University in 2001. Georgia State University and Northeastern University became members of the conference on July 1, 2005.


histOry Of hOfstra wrestLiNg

The history of Hofstra Wrestling, which dates back more than 60 years,

began as a club team in 1946 and grew quickly to become nationally recognized within two decades. The first season of Hofstra Wrestling saw Walter “Brick” Stone as the team’s head coach. In its first season as a club team, Hofstra went undefeated in six matches. Home matches were held at Hempstead High School. Three members who helped initiate the first team were Dick Bemson, Frank Fusco and Jim Geiger.

Wrestling became a varsity sport during the 1947-48 season. That year Hofstra entered the NCAA Championships held at Lehigh University after compiling a 5-2-1 record. Under Stone’s direction, the wrestlers set a school record of 16 straight victories during the early 1950s. The 1951-52 squad suffered only two losses en route to a 10-2 season. One of the early program’s outstanding wrestlers was Art Strunk. The next Hofstra wrestlers to enter the national spotlight were Dan Notine and Pete Damone. In 1956 Notine became the first Hofstra wrestler to capture a coveted Middle Atlantic Conference Championship. Damone replaced Stone as the team’s coach in 1960. The early tradition of success continued during Damone’s six-year reign as head coach. Damone produced several fine wrestlers, including Don Hannon (‘60), Tom Haseman (‘61), Dick Snyder (‘63) and Ken Robinson (‘64). The 1965-66 squad won the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Championship and crowned its first Metro title winner, Art Rudolph. In 1966 Bob Getchell became the program’s third coach. Getchell’s first squad produced two Metro Conference winners, Butch Jemmott and Ken Robinson. His second team won the Metro title with Jemmott, Dave Berman and Marty Willigan all taking individual titles, and wrestlers such as Steve Molello offering great contributions to the team. Willigan was named the 1968 Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler. He then went on to the NCAA Championships where he took fourth place, becoming Hofstra’s first All-American. In 1969 the team finished third in the Metropolitan and Middle Atlantic Conference Championships. Willigan captured second place in the NCAA Championships, losing in the final round to Iowa State’s legendary Dan Gable, the top wrestler in the United States. Gable would later coach Hofstra’s current head coach, Tom Ryan, while he attended Iowa. The wrestling program continued to develop under Getchell’s direction. Joel Kislin became Hofstra’s second All-American when he placed third at the NCAA Championships in 1973. In 1972-73, Hofstra hosted the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships and placed second. In the mid-1970s, standouts Nick Gallo, a 126-pounder, and Don Mayorga, a heavyweight, began to make their presence felt. They

powered Hofstra to three East Coast Conference Championships. (The Middle Atlantic Conference formed the East Coast Conference during this time.) Gallo went on to become an alternate for the United States team in the 1976 Olympic Games. In 1977 he captured the NCAA Championship at 126 pounds. He also earned the Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler Award. Bob Getchell then left the coaching ranks to become Hofstra’s Director of Athletics. Al Bevilacqua replaced him and continued the winning tradition.

Hofstra won six straight ECC Championships from 1975 through 1980. After missing a year at the top in 1981, Hofstra captured two more titles in 1982 and 1983. Hofstra standout Nick Gallo returned to his alma mater in 1979 to direct the program. In his five years at Hofstra, the team posted a 57-32 record and captured three ECC championships. As head coach, Gallo sent 11 wrestlers to the NCAA Championships. Among these 11, Ed Pidgeon, a 1981 All-American, finished fourth nationally while Peter Capone, a two-time All-American, finished seventh and second at the NCAAs. Joe Bavaro took over the reigns as head coach from 1984 through 1987, and led the Dutchmen to another ECC Championship in 1985. Under Bavaro’s leadership, Capone, a 167-pounder, was named the ECC Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler. Mike Arena, a 150-pounder and three-time conference champion, was also named the ECC Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler under Bavaro. In 1987 former Hofstra wrestler and three-time conference champion Tony Arena replaced Joe Bavaro as head of the Hofstra Wrestling program. In his two years at Hofstra, Arena led the team to a 15-17-1 record. Javier Armengau returned to his alma mater in 1989 to take over the Flying Dutchmen program. Armengau wrestled under Gallo and Bavaro and was a three-time captain. As coach at Hofstra, Armengau guided wrestlers such as Ralph Tubello to outstanding careers. The 1992-93 season saw Tubello break 100 career wins and freshman Jason Wartinger become Hofstra’s second first team freshman All-American. (The first was Mike Hogan in 1977.) Tom Ryan, a Long Island native and a two-time All-American at Iowa, took over the reigns of the program in 1995. Ryan brought in fine recruiting classes and in 1997 was able to coach three wrestlers – Joe Catalanotto, Ryan Edmundson and Mike Quaglio – to NCAA Tournament berths. Catalanotto won an automatic berth by winning the 126-pound title at the ECWA Championships, while Quaglio and Edmundson were at-large selections. In 1998 the Dutchmen were again well represented at the NCAA Championships. Sophomore Eric Schmiesing and senior Russell Jones both received at-large bids, while junior James Hieronymous and senior Mike Quaglio received automatic

bids as ECWA Champions. Hofstra finished the year ranked 24th in the NCAA dual meet rankings. In 1999 Hofstra Wrestling reached new heights. Hofstra placed second at the ECWA Championships and crowned five individual champions who would represent the conference at the NCAA Championships. Roman Fleszar, Jason DeBruin, Eric Schmiesing and Zach Miller won four out of the first five weight classes, and a victory by Russell Jones gave the Flying Dutchmen their five champions. Roman Fleszar and Eric Schmiesing advanced to the quarterfinals at the NCAA Championships, lifting the Flying Dutchmen to a 26th-place finish out of the 79 competing institutions. Jason DeBruin was also named New York State Freshman of the Year after compiling a 43-8 record.

Hofstra met and surpassed its 1999 accomplishments in 2000. The Pride crowned four ECWA Champions, Fleszar, Schmiesing, DeBruin and Rob Anspach, and sent six wrestlers to the NCAA Tournament. Fleszar and Schmiesing each placed at their respective weight classes, becoming Hofstra’s first All-American wrestlers since 1985. As a team, Hofstra placed 21 out of 73 teams. The Pride also won the New York State Championship for the second time in three years.

2001 saw Hofstra win its ninth ECWA Championship and first since 1983, and sent a then school-record seven wrestlers (Tom Noto, Roman Fleszar, Eric Schmiesing, Dennis Papadatos, Jason DeBruin, Noel Thompson and Rob Anspach) to the NCAA Tournament. Fleszar and Schmiesing repeated as All-Americans and the team placed 22nd overall at the NCAA. On the year, Hofstra finished ranked 15th in the nation. Tom Ryan was named ECWA Coach of the Year for the second straight year. The 2000-01 season also marked the final season of the ECWA, as the league merged with the Colonial Athletic Association beginning with the 2001-02 season. The Pride won the Colonial Athletic Association title in 2002 and sent seven wrestlers (Tom Noto, Jon Masa, Jason DeBruin, Paul Siemon, John Garriques, Ralph Everett and Chris Skretkowicz) to

the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year. Noto, Masa and DeBruin each won individual championships at the CAA Tournament with DeBruin, the tournament’s most outstanding wrestler, becoming Hofstra’s first four-time conference champion. Skretkowicz was named the CAA Rookie of the Year, while Tom Ryan was the CAA Co-Coach of the Year.

The 2002-03 season once again saw Hofstra surpass the achievements of the last season as the team won the Colonial Athletic Association Championship for the second straight year, sent a school-record eight wrestlers (Pat Flynn, Ricky LaForge, Jon Masa, Mike Patrovich, Noel Thompson, Ralph Everett, Brad Christie and Chris Skretkowicz) to the NCAA Championships, and saw Masa and Skretkowicz come home All-Americans. In addition, LaForge was the CAA Championships co-Most Outstanding Wrestler and Tom Ryan won his fourth consecutive conference coach of the year award.

In 2003-04 the Pride continued their winning ways with a 15-5 record in duals, extended their conference match winning streak to 34 by posting an 8-0 conference dual record, captured their third consecutive CAA Championship and in the process had four champions and tied the school mark by sending eight wrestlers (Tom Noto, John Manarte, James Strouse, Paul Siemon, Ralph Everett, Noel Thompson, Brad Christie, and Chris Skretkowicz) to the NCAA Championships in St. Louis. Skretkowicz, who was the CAA Wrestler of the Year, placed fifth to capture his second All-American award as Hofstra finished 20th in the final NCAA Championship standings. Coach Tom Ryan added his fifth straight conference Coach of the Year award to his trophy case.

2004-05 saw the Pride repeat as CAA champions, break the school-record with nine NCAA qualifiers (Dave Tomasette, Charles Griffin, Ricky LaForge, Jon Masa, James Strouse, Mike Patrovich, Paul Siemon, Joe Rovelli, Chris Skretkowicz), place 17th at the NCAA’s as a team and compile a 13-5 dual meet record. Masa, who was named the CAA Wrestler of the Year, placed third at the NCAA Championship to earn All-America honors for the second time in his career. Hofstra swept the CAA awards as in addition to Masa, Griffin was named the CAA Rookie of the Year and Coach Ryan took home his sixth straight (four CAA and two ECWA) conference Coach of the Year Award.

In 2005-06 the Pride took a giant leap toward the top 10 and finished

in 11th place at the NCAA Championships, just one point out of a tie for ninth place. Hofstra, which prepared for the Championships with a challenging schedule all season long as its 11-9 dual meet record indicates and captured its fifth consecutive CAA title, winning seven individual titles and qualifying eight wrestlers for nationals. In addition, the Pride, for the first time in school history, had three All-Americans in Jon Masa, Mike Patrovich and Chris Weidman, and recorded the highest team finish (11th) and most points (52.3) at nationals. Patrovich, who finished fourth at the NCAA Championships, would earn CAA Wrestler of the Year honors, Masa was named the CAA Championship Most Outstanding Wrestler, and Tom Ryan was named the CAA Coach of the Year.

The 2006-07 season was another year for the record books. Under first-year coach Tom Shifflet the Pride set several school records including four All-Americans (Charles Griffin, Chris Weidman, James Strouse and Mike Patrovich) and a best-ever seventh-place finish at the NCAA championships. The tone of the season was set early when the Pride, competing against one of the toughest schedules in school history, defeated #1 Minnesota in the second week of the season at the Northeast Duals. Hofstra would wrestle 11 nationally-ranked opponents and post an 18-4-2 record in dual matches. The team won a sixth consecutive CAA title, posted a 3-2 record and a sixth place finish at the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals in Cedar Falls, Iowa; and a ninth-place finish at the 47-team Cliff Keen/Las Vegas Invitational with four Pride wrestlers placing in the top seven. Griffin would be named the CAA Wrestler of the Year, Patrovich the CAA Championship Tournament Most Outstanding Wrestler, Ruggirello the CAA Rookie of the Year, and Shifflet the CAA Coach of the Year. In 2007-08 the Pride posted their 11th consecutive winning season with a 13-8 record including victories over nationally-ranked opponents Iowa State (4th), Edinboro (13th), Old Dominion (22nd), Bloomsburg (25th) and Harvard (25th). They also went 2-1 at the Northeast Duals, placed third in the Southern Scuffle and 10th at the Cliff Keen/Las Vegas Invitational. Hofstra continued its conference excellence, extending its league undefeated dual match streak to 60 (59-0-1) by posting a perfect 6-0 regular season and then capturing its seventh consecutive CAA Championship and the eighth straight conference title overall. The Pride captured three individual CAA titles and Charles Griffin was named the CAA Wrestler of the Year for the second consecutive season. Seven Hofstra wrestlers competed in the NCAA Championships with

Griffin (3rd) and Alton Lucas (8th) earning All-America honors and Lou Ruggirello, who became Hofstra’s first top-ranked wrestler early in the season, winning the Gorrarian Award at the national championships for the most pins in the shortest amount of time. The 2008-09 season was a rebuilding year for the Pride with six first-time starters making their debut for Hofstra. The Pride defeated #7 Penn State and battled a pair of #5 teams in Missouri and Ohio State down to the wire before falling. But Hofstra’s 63-conference match undefeated streak, including 60 consecutive league wins came to an end in a loss to #21 Old Dominion at the CAA Duals. But the Pride regrouped for the CAA Championships to capture three individual conference titles, their eighth consecutive CAA team title and the ninth straight conference championship. Hofstra, which finished the regular season with a 10-6 overall mark and a 5-1 record in CAA duals, sent eight wrestlers to the NCAA Championships in St. Louis. Red-shirt freshman P.J. Gillespie was named the 2009 CAA Rookie of the Year, Tom Shifflet was voted the CAA Coach of the Year and newcomers Steve Bonanno, Justin Accordino, Ben Clymer, Jordan Enck and Gillespie were named to the CAA All-Freshman team. The 2009-10 season, on paper, had great potential. Unfortunately, injuries dictated a a different finish. After just two weeks of the season, three starters were done, two to injuries and one to a red-shirt, and by the first week of January a fourth starter was finished for the year. With a shuffling, inexperienced line-up, the Pride battled through a 6-12-2 season including a 4-3 mark in the CAA. Hofstra’s streak of nine consecutive conference titles including eight in the CAA ended as the Pride placed fifth at the conference championships. Three Hofstra wrestlers, Jonny Bonilla-Bowman, P.J. Gillespie and Ben Clymer, qualified for the NCAA Championships. Freshmen Luke Vaith and Paul Snyder were named to the CAA All-Rookie team at 133 and 285 pounds, respectively.

THE RAY DOWNEY, SR. MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP AND WRESTLING FUND

The Hofstra University wrestling program is proud to honor the memory of an American hero FDNY Deputy Chief Ray Downey with the Ray Downey Memorial Scholarship. Chief Downey, who served as Chief of Special Operations Command, lost his life

heroically during the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

Ray Downey was appointed to the FDNY on April 7, 1962. In August 2001, he was placed in charge of all SOC (Special Operations Command) operations - Rescue, Squad, Haz Mat and Marine - and promoted to Deputy Chief. Chief Downey’s phenomenal 39-year career with the FDNY was built upon success after success and rescue after rescue. One of the most - if not the most decorated men in the Department, Chief Downey received five individual medals for valor and 16 unit citations.

A devoted family man who lived in Deer Park, New York, with his wife, Rosalie; father of five married children, Joseph, Marie, Chuck, Ray Jr. and Kathy; and adored grandfather of nine, Chief Downey was an avid fan of the sport of wrestling and supporter of the Hofstra wrestling

program, where his sons Joe and Ray Jr. were outstanding athletes. Chief Downey loved wrestling, and he always attended their matches. He continued to support the Hofstra wrestling program long after his sons graduated.

After his passing, the Downey family, longtime supporters of Hofstra University and the Pride wrestling program, created a scholarship fund to honor Chief Downey’s memory. Funds contributed are used to endow scholarships in Chief Downey’s name and will provide financial assistance to the Hofstra University wrestling program. Chief Downey’s sons, Joseph, Chuck and Ray Jr., were successful athletes at Deer Park High School, and earned bachelor’s degrees from respected universities through athletic scholarship opportunities. Recipients of these funds will demonstrate the integrity, work ethic, discipline and courage that Deputy Chief Raymond Downey exemplified throughout his life. The 2010 recipient of the Ray Downey Scholarship Award was senior Anthony Tortora from Long Beach, New York.

The Ray Downey Sr. Memorial Scholarship Fund Day, which is scheduled for Wednesday, January 28 against Army, is a unique opportunity to honor Chief Downey’s memory as well as to support student-athletes. For more information on the Ray Downey Sr. Scholarship and Wrestling Fund, please visit www.downeywrestlingfund.org.
