The 2009 season marked the Charger football program’s 32nd seasonandwasthefirstyearsincetheconclusionofthe2003campaign that UNH fielded a team. The return of the footballwas of great interest and excitement to University of New Haven students, alumni, fans and friends of athletics. Three years later, the Chargers are two-time defending conference champions and ranked among the nation’s top 25.

Charger football has a storied tradition of gridiron success, includingfiveNCAADivisionIIplayoffappearances.Theprogramposts an all-time record of 195-139-5 in 34 seasons, including a 166-97-1 mark after moving to the Division II level in 1982.

When the Charger football team advanced to the NCAA Championship game in 1997, with current head coach Peter Rossomando serving as defensive line coach, UNH was at that time the smallest school in NCAA history to play for a national title. UNH also advancedtotheNCAAsemifinals in1992and the quarterfinals in 1993, 1995 and2011.

In addition to team success, many individuals in UNH Football history have earned national and regional accolades. UNH had 126 All-New England award winners in 19 seasons between 1983 and 2001, and 63 All-ECAC picks during the same time period. Perhaps the program’s most famous alum is running back Roger Graham, who won Division II’s most prestigious award - the Harlon Hill Trophy -

after leading the NCAA in scoring and ranking second in rushing in 1993.UNHhashadaplayerfinishinthetopfourintheHarlonHillvotingonfiveoccasions.

STADIUMNewly renovated with state-of-the-art blue and gold Sprinturf, RalphF.DellaCameraStadiumhosted its’first footballgameonSaturday, September 19, 2009. Sporting a large Charger logo in the center, the renovation was made possible by a gift from alum-nus Ralph F. DellaCamera Jr., managing member and CIO of Del-laCamera Capital Management LLC in Manhattan and a member of the university’s board of governors.

OnSaturday,September26,2009,thestadiumwasofficiallyded-icated in Ralph F. DellaCamera’s name. In front of a sell-out crowd, over3,500fansalsosawthefirstvictoryatthenewstadiumasthe Chargers pulled off a 23-18 win over Stonehill College.

After receiving turf improvements in 2008, a new press box and a cutting edge scoreboard were installed to improve upon the game environment at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium prior to the 2009 opener. Prior to the 2010 season, a one-of-a-kind video board was also installed at DellaCamera Stadium.

In three seasons on the blue and gold turf, New Haven has post-ed a 13-4 record. In 2011, the Chargers posted an undefeated 7-0recordathome.Theyearalsomarkedthefirsthomeplayoffgame for the Chargers who defeated Kutztown, 44-37, in front of a standing room only crowd. The Charger faithful showed their sup-port throughout the season as New Haven was one of just 12 Divi-sion II programs to draw 96-percent or more of stadium capacity.

Prior to the renovations in 2008 and 2009, the stadium was known as Robert B. Dodds Stadium. Dodds Stadium was a natu-ral grass surface and was home to the Charger Football program up until 2003. As the former home for the Charger Football team, Dodds Stadium saw a number of important games throughout its history.

DellaCamera Stadium is located on UNH’s North Campus, directly across Boston Post Road from UNH’s main campus. Parking for events at DellaCamera Stadium is available in the Charger Gym-nasium lot.

Ryan Osiecki ranked 14th in total offense.

For the seven seasons prior to arriving at UNH, Rossomando was on the coaching staff at the University at Albany - a member of the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS, formerly Division I-AA). Serving under program founder and 35-year head coach Bob Ford, Rossomando served as associate head coach, offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for his last three seasons at Albany.Rossomando has 16 seasons of highly-successful college coaching experience under his belt, and kicked off his career withafive-yearstintattheUniversityofNewHaven from 1994 to 1998. The Chargers were 41-14-1 in Rossomando’s first go-round at UNH, when he was a member of head coach Tony Sparano’s staff that went to the 1997 NCAA Division II Championship game and the 1995 NCAA playoffs.

During Rossomando’s tenure at UAlbany (2001-2007), the Great Danes posted a 46-32 overall record and a 36-12 mark (.750) in the Northeast Conference (NEC). He helped lead UA to three NEC championships (2002, 2003, 2007) and the 2002 ECAC title. As NEC champions in the fall of 2007, UAlbany played Pioneer League champs Dayton for the mid-major national championship and rose as high as No. 3 in both the Sports Network and Football Gazette Division I FCS Mid-Major polls.

While at UAlbany, Rossomando coached several NCAA FCS mid-major All-Americans, including Geir Gudmundsen, Mike Laroche, Brandon Shaw, Aaron Kimball, Jacob Anderson, Jacob Hobbs and Sam Pagano. Gudmundsen, who was on the 2004 AFCA All-America First Team, and Hobbs went on to sign professionally as NFL free agents with Buffalo and Philadelphia, respectively. UAlbany had ten linemen selected First Team All-NEC under Rossomando’s tutelage.

In 2007, UAlbany was 8-4 overall and ran through the NEC with a 6-0 league record, scoring 39.2 points per game in conference play. The Great Danes rushed for 275 yards per game and averaged 413 yards of total offense in NEC play, while leading the conference in total offense and turnover margin. Rossomando’s offensive unit came alive in the second half of the 2006 season, averaging 296.0 total yards and 193.7 rushing yards against Northeast

Conference opponents. In 2004, the Great Danes ranked seventh nationally in rushing with 254.7 yards per game, while leading the Northeast Conference for the sixth-straight year in that category. UAlbany shattered the NEC rushing record with 3,215 yards on the ground the previous year.

Rossomando served as the offensive coordinator and line coach at Cortland State prior to taking up his position at UAlbany. He handled weekly game plans, coached the kickoff return and field goal specialteams, and recruited New York City and Long Island. He also coached the offensive line and was video coordinator at Division I-AA Northeastern for one season (1999) following his stint at UNH (1994-98).

In his previous stop at UNH, Rossomando served as both offensive line coach and academiccoordinatorduringhisfirstthreeseasons with the program. He spent his final twoyearsas theChargers’defensiveline coach and special teams coordinator, and also spent those two seasons as recruiting coordinator. UNH reached the NCAA Division II playoffs in both 1995 and 1997, and won the Lambert Cup Trophy twice.

The Chargers saw three offensive linemen named All-ECAC and two on the All-New England squads with Rossomando as theirpositioncoach.InRossomando’sfirstseason, 1994, UNH all-time great Roger Graham earned his third all-America honor and rushed for 1,607 yards to narrowly miss winning his second-straight Harlon Hill Trophy. During the 1997 national runners-up season, Rossomando was special teams and defensive line coach. He helped lead a defensive unit that recorded 41 sacks during the 10-game regular season, limiting opponents to just 9.8 points per game while recording three shutouts.

From 1990-93, Rossomando played on the offensive and defensive lines at Division I-AA Boston University, where he earned a B.S. in clinical exercise physiology. The Terriers won the 1993 Yankee Conference championship with an undefeated record.

A native of Staten Island, N.Y., Rossomando received All-America and all-state scholastic honors and was the 1989 Staten Island Player of the Year. He and his wife, Jessica, have three children, Reese, Gianna and Nicholas.

Year four in the second era of Charger football has arrived and the Chargers are back in the national spotlight. With the return of 16-of-22 starters, including all-but one on the offensive side of the ball, the University of New Haven football team will look to further their legacy in 2012. As back-to-back Northeast-10 Conference Champions and NCAAquarterfinalistslastyear,theChargersaretheclearfavoritesinthe conference preseason and were picked No. 13 in the American Football Coaches Association’s Preseason Top 25 Poll. Led by four captains, Mike Gomes, Tom Herd, Bernard Risco and David Stedman, New Haven is set for its challenging 11-week schedule in 2012.

THE SCHEDULEThe Chargers feature a 10-game slate, the first-ever Northeast-10Conference Championship weekend and four home games through-out the 2012 season. The season officially kicks off on Saturday,September 1 when the Chargers host Merrimack College in a NE-10 showdown at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. The season-opener is followed by the team’s only non-conference game of the season at Saint Augustine’s College in Raleigh, N.C. The conference schedule continues in week three with a trip to Pleasantville, N.Y. to face the Pace University Setters. On the fourth Saturday of September, Saint Anselm College travels to West Haven for a 1 p.m. kickoff at DellaCam-eraStadium.Inweekfive,theChargershaveabyeweekonSaturday,September 29, 2012. New Haven’s third home game of the regular season is against Assumption College on Saturday, October 6. The 1 p.m.kickoffatDellaCameraStadiumwillofficiallykickoffthemonthof October at UNH as well. The Northeast-10 Conference schedule continues for the Chargers on Saturday, October 13 at Bentley Uni-versity and on Thursday, October 18 at Stonehill College, on national television. The Chargers and Falcons will kickoff at 1 p.m. in Waltham, Mass., while UNH travels to Easton, Mass. for an 8 p.m. night game against the Skyhawks in week seven of the schedule. Homecoming 2012 will likely be the game of the year at DellaCamera Stadium as the Chargers host on cross-town rival Southern Connecticut State Uni-versity.Thegamewillkickoffat1p.m.inWestHaven.Thefinalsched-uled game of the season is a NE-10 game at American International CollegeonSaturday,November3.Forthefirsttimeinconferencehis-tory,thefinalweekendoftheregularseasonwillshowcaseaNE-10Championship weekend.

The remaining teams will alsoplaygamesinthefinalweekendoftheregularseason.Thethird,fourthandfifthseededteamswillhostthesixth,seventhandeighthseeded teams, respectively.

OFFENSEWith quite possibly the most veteran offense in the nation, New Ha-ven returns 10 offensive starters, for the second time in as many years. The depth charts include three starters who have started every game for the last three seasons and seven players who have started over 20 career games. The lineup of returners includes eight All-Con-ference selections and four preseason All-Americans - Ryan Osiecki (QB), Zach Conklin (OG), Jason Thompson (WR) and Kameel Lashley (TE).

After claiming every passing record at UNH over the last three years, Osieckientershisfinalseasonwearingtheblueandgold.Thereign-ing NE-10 Offensive Player of the Year threw for 3,336 yards and 36 touchdowns last season. His career numbers are astonishing – 8,022 passing yards, over 1,000 more yards than the next closest, 75 pass-ing touchdowns and 633 completions. The senior ranked second in

With an outstanding spring and preseason, the Char-gers’ option quarterback, Ronnie Nelson, is also expected to see sig-nificanttimeastheChargers’signalcallerin’12.Theseniorplayedin all 13 games last season, ran for 359 yards and threw for another 278 yards on 17 completions. The team’s second leading rusher aver-aged 7.6 yards per carry and scored two rushing touchdowns.

Experience in no stranger to the UNH receiving corps, headlined by the 6-foot-3 senior Jason Thompson. The Indiantown, Fla. native came alive and sparked the offense last year with over 1,000 receiv-ing yards and 14 touchdowns off just 43 catches. He averaged 24.3 yards per catch and ranked 41st in Division II with 80.5 yards per game. The returning starters also include Josh Smart and Chris Ruf-fin.Smartledtheteamwith50receptions,including24catchesforfirstdownsa yearago.Ruffin, theoldestmemberof theChargers’roster,alsoentershisfinalseasonwithUNH.Heamassed571yardsand two touchdowns off 40 catches last season. Also entering their finalseasonsandexpectingtomakesignificant impactsareDeme-trius Washington-Ellison and Nick Music, along with tight end Ka-meel Lashley. Washington-Ellison was second on the team with eight receiving touchdowns a year ago. He also averaged 18.5 yards per catch. Lashley, an All-American in 2011, was one of the most domi-nant receiving tight ends in the nation with 25 receptions and 16.2 yards per catch. Freshman Ty Headen and junior Roshawn Wilson so-lidifiedtheirrolesonthetwo-deeprosteraswell.A6-footflankerfromNewark, N.J., Headen will add to Smart’s depth and clutch catching. Wilson, who recovered from a season-ending injury he suffered last preseason,willseetimebackingupRuffin.

Inthebackfield,theChargersonceagainreturnanotherveryexpe-rienced group. Coming off his most impressive season to date, Mike DeCaro will start, but UNH will use any combination of four running backs in 2012. DeCaro led the Chargers in rushing and all-purpose yards last season. He amassed 806 yards on the ground and another 244 through the air. Add in his kick return yardage and DeCaro aver-aged nearly 150 all-purpose yards per game. The senior ran for 10 touchdowns, caught two touchdown passes and returned two kickoffs fortouchdowns.Alsoreturninginthebackfieldwillbe2010NewHa-ven Gridiron Club Offensive Player of the Year, Victor Jones. Two sea-sons ago Jones became the third running back in UNH history to rush for 1,000 yards in a single season, but two knee injuries limited him last season. After offseason surgery and rehabilitation, Jones has lookedverypromising turningpreseasonandwill againseesignifi-canttimeinthebackfield.JuniorsAnthonyTillmanandBrianAlstonwill add to the four-headed backfield at UNH. Both saw significanttime last season, including over 300 yards by Tillman and over 4.0 yards per carry by Alston.

The heart and soul of the Chargers’ scoring machine, the offensive line, is once again very experienced and a strength of the Chargers’ squad. Despite losing one starter to graduation, New Haven’s four re-turning starters were each All-Conference selections on the offensive line and have combined for over 100 starts in the last three seasons. A2011finalistfortheGeneUpshawDivisionIILinemanoftheYear,David Stedman joins preseason All-American Zach Conklin at the two offensive guard positions.

needed depth across the offensive line as well. The only newcomer among the offense, Zach Guy, will start at center for the Chargers in 2012. The Rochester, N.Y. native appeared in three games last fall and has showed progress throughout spring ball and in preseason. A combinationofsophomoresandjuniorswillbackupthestartingfive,including James Pusz, Chris Biondi, Logan Smith and Tim Moores.

Senior tight end Kameel Lashley is one of just four players to start every game over the last three seasons. He started all 13 games last season and each of the previous 20. A preseason All-American, Lash-leyhopestoputthefinalchapteronhiscareer.In2011hewasfourthon the team with 25 receptions for 404 yards and four touchdowns. Junior Chris Higgins has also been impressive in the offseason after averyproductive2011campaignandwillseesignificantsnapsthisyear. The Cumberland, Maine native appeared in 12 games and aver-aged 18.7 yards per catch last year.

DEFENSEThe UNH defense is the less-experienced side of the ball in 2012, but with three of the four team captains and two preseason All-Amer-icans, the defense is led by a very skilled group. The starters include Tom Herd (DE), Mike Gomes (OLB) and Bernard Risco (FS).

The experience starts up front with the Chargers’ four down linemen. Preseason All-American and defensive end Tom Herd is prepared to conclude a very successful four years at New Haven. The Sparta, N.J. native led the conference and ranked ninth in Division II with 12 sacks last season. He also led the team with three fumble recover-ies, including scoop-and-score at Southern Connecticut State. Interior linemen Raheem Stanley and Ahmet Baki Basci are two of the most experienced defenders in the conference as well. Both have seen sig-nificantplayingtimeoverthelastthreeseasonsandcombinedfor18starts a season ago. Stanley was an All-Conference First Team selec-tion with 53 total tackles and a team second-best 15 tackles-for-loss. Throughoutpreseason, transferErikMcCloud solidifiedhis spot asthe other defensive end. He’ll replace All-Conference selection Rob Hill from last season and brings with him two years of experience at Lackawanna College in Scranton, Pa. Four additional defensive linemenarealsoexpectedtoseesignificantplayingtimein2012–Kervin Edouard, Alex Dyer, Sean Berglund and Alex Quinn. The four haveseensignificantplayingtimeoverthelastthreeseasonsandwilladd much needed depth to the positions.

The Chargers’ second line of defense, the linebackers, lost two start-ers in the offseason. Entering the starting lineup at inside linebacker will be senior Rich Long and Hudson Valley transfer Matthew Fallico. Long’s played a number of roles on the defense throughout the last threeseasons,butsolidifiedhisstartingroleduringthespringandpreseason. He’s recorded 74 total tackles in three seasons and eight tackles-for-loss. Fallico, a 5-foot-11, 220-pound inside backer, also earned the starting spot during the spring. While at Hudson Valley Community College, Fallico was named to the All-Northeast Confer-ence Second Team and the All-Region Three First Team. He was sec-ond on the team with 58 tackles in eight games as a sophomore and totaled 89 tackles in two seasons. Senior captain Mike Gomes con-cludes his career in 2012 in his outside linebacker role. The Brockton, Mass. native has been a staple on the Chargers’ defense over the last three seasons. He’s the only defender to start all 33 games over the last three seasons and was an All-Conference First Team selec-tion in 2011. Another two Charger veterans will also see lots of time

as inside linebackers. Senior Scott Lowery and junior Jaylen Johnson are expected to contribute as well. Gomes will be backed up by fresh-man Karlos Locke, whose impressed coaches throughout the 2012 preseason.

In the UNH secondary, three-of-four returners will look to keep oppos-ing receivers and quarterbacks out of sync. Another captain and two-year starter, Bernard Risco will lead the group from his new free safety position. The senior transitioned from his rover position last year and has demonstrated outstanding ability in the offseason. An All-Region and preseason All-American selection, Risco is the Chargers’ top re-turning tackler with 79 total stops last season. The Philadelphia, Pa. native also broke up six passes, recovered three fumbles and forced two fumbles last season. Returning seniors J.D. Chalifoux and Ken-drick Butler will both be starting at cornerback, while Herbens An-tenor will take over Risco’s vacated rover position. Chalifoux led the Chargers with six interceptions last season and broke up a total of 10 passes. Butler broke up nine passes, while Antenor played in all 13 games and recorded 38 total tackles. Returners Matt Stevko and Rodney Lanham, and freshman Chris Maldonado will also be compet-ing for snaps in the secondary this season.

SPECIAL TEAMSThe Chargers’ special teams were one of the best in the Northeast-10 Conference last season, in part to kicking specialist and 2012 pre-season All-American Chris Scifo. The junior from Coral Springs, Fla. was named an All-Region Second Team selection in 2011 and was a two-time NE-10 Special Teams Player of the Week. Scifo ranked 31st inNCAADivisionIIwith1.08fieldgoalspergameandconnectedon14-of-17 attempts, including a perfect 10-of-10 between the 20 and 39 yard lines. He also went 63-of-65 on PATs and led the team in scoring with 105 points. Scifo also led the Chargers’ kickoff team with an average of 60.7 yards per kick. He forced nine touchbacks and totaled over 5,500 kickoff yards. Scifo will relinquish his punt-ing responsibilities in 2012 to sophomore Wagner transfer Anthony Greenfield.

After taking over the kickoff return responsibility in 2011, Mike DeCa-ro and Demetrius Washington-Ellison will look to carry their success into the 2012 season. DeCaro, who earned All-Conference honors as a return specialist last season, amassed 829 kickoff return yards, while Washington-Ellison contributed 233 return yards. DeCaro re-turned two for touchdowns, including a 90-yard long against South-ern Connecticut State. Both averaged over 20-yards per return and with new kickoff rules in 2012, the two will hope to continue earning greatfieldposition forUNH.Punt return responsibilitieswill stay inthe hands of veteran Josh Smart. Smart’s average of 11.5 yards per return in 2012 led the team.

Tight end Chris Higgins will once again long snap for UNH, while Greenfield will take over holding responsibilities from senior BriceDeRosa who suffered a season-ending injury during preseason.

The Northeast-10 Conference is an NCAA Division II conference that was established in 1979. The NE-10 consists of 16 member institutions that are located throughout the Northeast including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont.

The institutions that make up the Northeast-10 are Adelphi University (Garden City, N.Y.), American InternationalCollege (Springfield,Mass.), Assumption College (Worcester, Mass.), Bentley University (Waltham, Mass.), Franklin Pierce University (Rindge, N.H.), Le Moyne College (Syracuse, N.Y.), University of Massachusetts Lowell (Lowell, Mass.), Merrimack College (North Andover, Mass.), University of New Haven (West Haven, Conn.), Pace University (Pleasantville, N.Y.), Saint Anselm College (Manchester, N.H.), Saint Michael’s College (Colchester, Vt.), College of Saint Rose (Albany, N.Y.), Southern Connecticut State University (New Haven, Conn.), Southern New Hampshire University (Manchester, N.H.), and Stonehill College (Easton, Mass.).

The 16 member institutions are spread geographically from Syracuse, New York to Boston, Massachusetts and from Burlington, Vermont to Long Island, New York. Many of the members are located in or around the metropolitan areas of Albany, Boston, New Haven, Worcester, and New York.

The Conference most recently welcomed the University of New Haven in 2008 and Adelphi University in 2009, adding to the powerful union of strong academic and athletic colleges and universities.

The Northeast-10 has evolved into a membership committed to competitive athletics programs that emphasize the educationonandoffthefieldofitsmorethan5,500 student athletes.

Steven H. Kaplan, Ph.D., University PresidentSince becoming president of the University of New Haven in 2004, Steven H. Kaplan, Ph.D. has led the University of New Haven through a period of remarkable growth and development. In thepast fiveyears alone, enrollment has grown by 34 percent to more than 6,400 undergraduate and graduate students, who

hail from 35 states and some 45 countries. Full-time undergraduate enrollment has grown by 59 percent and applications have increased by 176 percent. During this time, the University has completed over $100 million in construction projects and has launched 15 new academic programs.

UNH now ranks among the top comprehensive universities in the North and boasts nationally ranked programs in a number of majors across business, criminal justice, engineering, forensic science, and the liberal arts and sciences. In recognition of his contributions to transforming the University, Dr. Kaplan was named “Businessman of the Year” by Business New Haven magazine in 2008.

President Kaplan also was awarded the 2011 William M. Burke Presidential Award for Experiential Education by the National Society for Experiential Education. The award recognizes President Kaplan’s efforts to make UNH a national leader in experiential education, requiring every undergraduate student to complete an internship, an academic service learning experience, international study or a faculty-mentored research

project before graduation.

Previously, Dr. Kaplan was chancellor and professor of English at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise, the only four-year branch campus of the University of Virginia and one of the nation’s best public colleges, according to U. S. News & World Report.

Dr. Kaplan began his teaching career in 1982 as an Instructor of English at the University of Maryland, European Division. From 1985-1989, he served as Visiting Lecturer in American Studies at Eberhard-Karls Universität, Tübingen, Germany – one of the oldest and most highly regarded universities in Europe. After completing his doctoral studies at Eberhard-Karls Universität, he returned to the U.S. to teach English at the University of Southern Colorado. Within three years, he was made department chair, serving in that capacity for two years before becoming Director of the Center for International Studies.
