As the 2002 college lacrosse season approached, HofstraUniversity Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach John Danowski believedhis Pride team had the depth, talent and experience to be success-ful. His only concern, and it was a minor one at that, was chem-istry – to have the Pride play together as a team.

It was evident early in the season, even in one-goal losses to sec-ond-ranked Hopkins and number eight Loyola, that his beliefswere correct. For after a decisive loss at Princeton, the PrideTEAM rattled off a nine-game winning streak, including victoriesover No. 7 Duke, No. 12 North Carolina, No. 14 Towson and No.18 Notre Dame, to finish the regular season with an 11-3 record.

That record, an exciting season and the nine-game winning streakto end the year would have to be enough reward for the Pride asthey were snubbed at NCAA Tournament selection time in a mostcontroversial decision.

The 2002 season is long gone now. All that remains are the bitter-sweet memories of what was and what could have been. “We don’ttalk about it,and no one really brings it up,” Danowski says, “notbecause we are bitter, but because it is behind us. It’s in the pastso why dwell on it? Besides, most of the returnees this year eitherdid not play or saw just a little action last year. So it doesn’t haveas much of an impact on this year’s team as it did to the graduat-ing players. 2003 is truly a new year with a new team.”

There’s the rub. Despite the fact that Danowski has 24 playersreturning from last season, only a handful have any extensiveplaying experience, except for four returning starters. “This year’steam is unlike any other Hofstra team in recent years,” Danowskisaid. “In the past, we had starters back, we had depth, we hadexperience, we had leaders and they knew what they had to do towin. We have a great bunch of men on this year’s team. Theywork hard, they are very coachable but they are terribly inexperi-enced, even the upperclassmen. We will be using a lot of newfaces this season. The measuring stick that we have used to gaugeour success in the past is not applicable this year. We will measureour success in small victories of progress and improvements as theseason goes on.”

To bear out Danowski’s contention, the Pride return only 57 of theteam’s 178 goals from last season. If you thought the playmakerswere returning, guess again, as only 22 of the team’s 100 assistsare back. In goal, only Steve Izzo gives Hofstra any game timeexperience, and that was just 17 out of 840 minutes in 2002. Thenew season makes way for new groups of scorers, playmakers,defenders, goalies and stars to make a name for themselves. It willbe the Pride coaching staff’s job to mix and mold their youngcharges into a cohesive team. Danowski believes he has the talentbut that it may take some time.

ATTACKThere is good news and bad news about the Pride attack this year.The bad news is that all three of the starting attackmen from 2002have graduated and have taken their collective 73 goals and 51assists with them. Hofstra career goal scoring record holder TomKessler (28G-21A last year), Scott Dooley (31G-14A) who tallied157 points in his career, and Steve McTigue (14G-16A) have alldeparted. The good news is that the attack is the one area on thisyear’s team that possesses the most playing experience. ButDanowski cautions, “The attack is unbelievably young with verylittle chemistry of playing together.”

With the move of seniorKevin Dougherty from

midfield to attack, thereturn from injury ofsenior JoeKostolansky and thereturn of reserve JimFemminella, the

Pride have a solidif not strongfront line.Dougherty, whotallied 15 goalsand four assistslast year, wasthird on the team

in shots andshould get some bet-

ter scoring opportunitieson attack. Kostolansky

tallied 37 goals and 23assists in 2000 before suffer-

ing knee injuries that allowedhim to play in just six games the

past two seasons. Femminella(20G-4A) is the Pride’s leadinggoal-scoring returnee after denting

the twine 20 times in 2002.Sophomore James Morgan (1G-2A),

who saw limited time in 12 games lastyear, and red-shirt freshman Ryan Lucas

will be vying to break into the starting line-up.

MIDFIELDThe midfield area is, without a doubt, the deepest area on theteam with 19 players. “The midfield lines are really interchange-able,” Danowski says. “They are in great shape with no real stand-out, which will make the battle for playing time competitive. I cansee at least six freshmen stepping up into a playing rotation thisseason.”

Leading the midfield are seniors Bryan Walker and RyanO’Donnell. Walker started 12 of 14 games last year on the firstmidfield and tallied six goals and three assists. O’Donnell, whoalso played in all 14 games last year and posted one of the best fallseasons on the team, is expected to contribute more after scoringjust twice in 2002. Junior twins Rich (3G, 3A) and Keith Mekeel,who red-shirted last year with an ankle injury, are two of the hard-est workers on the team and should give the midfield a boost.Junior transfer Don Scott, a Long Island product who returns aftertwo years at Johns Hopkins, will give the Pride some additionalexperience. Sophomores Ryan Vilar and Mike Morrison shouldalso figure into the midfield mix. Vilar, who missed the 2002 sea-son with a back injury, tallied five goals in 16 games as freshmanin 2001. Morrison, who could also see action on attack in 2003,tallied two goals and five assists in limited action in 14 games lastyear.

But it’s the newcomers who can figure in big at midfield. Leadingthe freshmen are Tim Treubig, an all-league selection atFarmingdale (NY) High School; Chris Unterstein, a scholastic All-American from New York State Champion Shoreham-WadingRiver High School; Brian Crichlow, a two-time Team Colorado 9

selection; John Orsen, a sec-ond team All-American from

Cold Spring Harbor (NY)High School; Ryan Miller,an All-Nassau Countyselection out of Manhasset(NY) High School and thebrother of former Hofstrastandout and World Teammember Blake Miller; andCaleb Miller, an all-countyselection from Pikesville(MD) High School whowas a finalist for the C.Markland Kelley Awardlast year.

At the pole, senior MikeAllain will relieve Danowski

of any concern. Allain, whotallied five goals and picked up 47

ground balls last year, is a two-yearstarter and will bring poise and skill to

a young midfield. “We think MikeAllain is one of the top long stick mid-

dies in the country,” Danowski said. “He’sintelligent, a hard worker and a true All-American candidate.” Backing up Allainwill be two Long Island freshmen, Steve

Jacobs from Plainview John F. Kennedy andTom St. George from Baldwin.

DEFENSEJunior Brian Zuchelli, who started all 13 games that he played inlast season, anchors an inexperienced defense. Zuchelli,who is big and strong, pickedup 46 ground balls last sea-son and will be the manthe others look to for guid-ance when the pressure ison around the cage.Freshman Brett Moyer,a two-time All-American from Ridley(PA) High School anda member of the 2003United States NationalTeam, has the size,speed and skills tohave an immediateimpact on the Prideteam. Senior AaronKozlowski, who saw lim-ited action in sevengames last year, sopho-more Jon Edwards,who saw action in justthree games due toinjury, and seniorsDave Sweeney, whoplayed in 12 games,and AndrisDikmanis will battleit out for the last

starting spot. Newcomers Patrick Harnett, an All-Ohio pick fromWorthington High School, Kevin McDonaugh, an all-county selec-tion from Islip (NY) High School, and Bryan Read from St. Paul’sSchool in Brooklandville, Maryland, as well as red-shirt freshmanBobby DePasquale will challenge for playing time.

GOALThe goal area is the most inexperienced on the field and that,obviously, is not a good thing for the Pride. The two goalies haveseen a total of 17 minutes of college action and all that timebelongs to sophomore Steve Izzo. Izzo posted a 10.51 goalsagainst average last year during that time but will face a stern testfor the starting job by red-shirt freshman Matt Southard. Southardwas a two-time honorable mention All-American at Baldwin HighSchool.

THE SCHEDULELike the attack area, there is good news and bad news when talk-ing about the 2003 Hofstra schedule. The good news is that theyoung Pride will play 10 of their 15 games this season at James M.Shuart Stadium (formerly Hofstra Stadium). Playing at home,especially for an inexperienced team, can help ease Hofstra’s grow-ing pains.

Unfortunately, the bad news is that the Pride will be playing oneof the most ambitious schedules in school history. “The scheduleis, without a doubt, the toughest in school history,” Danowskisays. “To start, we will be playing No. 1 (Syracuse) and No. 2(Princeton) from last year. The schedule isloaded. Cornell, Fairfield, Princeton,Massachusetts and Syracuse were alltournament teams in 2002. We hopethe tough schedule will prepare ourteam for the Colonial AthleticAssociation schedule and the confer-ence tournament at the end of theseason.”

Speaking of the CAA, the Pride fin-ished with a 5-1 record and was sec-ond to Loyola in the league standingslast year. Loyola has left the league,but that won’t make the road any easi-er for the Pride in the quest to capturea conference title and the NCAAChampionship automatic bid thatgoes with it. “Our first goal this yearis to qualify for the CAATournament,” Danowski stated.“That means to finish in the topfour in the six-team league.“Towson is the team to beat thisyear; Sacred Heart andVillanova are much better, asare Delaware and Drexel. Ifwe make the CAATournament, our competitionall season should better pre-pare us to play our best foran NCAA bid.”

In February 2002 Hofstra University President Stuart Rabinowitzannounced that the University’s 15,000-seat stadium, home toHofstra’s Lacrosse (NCAA I), Football (NCAA Division I-AA) andField Hockey (NCAA I) teams, would be named the James M.Shuart Stadium at Hofstra University.

“During Dr. James M. Shuart’s 25 remarkable years as president ofHofstra University we grew from a fine regional institution to aninternationally recognized university. Although every aspect ofthis University has benefitted immeasurably from Jim Shuart’sleadership, we believe that his roots as a student athlete and hissupport of our fine athletic program makes the naming of thestadium particularly appropriate. By doing this we convey ouradmiration and respect forJames Shuart to thethousands of individualswho use the James M.Shuart Stadium at HofstraUniversity each year,” saidPresident Rabinowitz.

“When President EmeritusJames M. Shuart retired lastspring, the Board ofTrustees unanimouslyagreed that futuregenerations of Hofstrastudents, faculty, alumniand visitors to our campusshould be reminded of Jim’sgood work. Hofstra hasachieved recognition for thesuccessful integration of itsoutstanding academic andathletic programs. By naming the James M. Shuart Stadium atHofstra University we provide an ongoing testamentary to Dr.Shuart’s contribution to Hofstra, Long Island and the entire highereducation community,” said John J. Conefry, Jr., Chairman of theHofstra University Board of Trustees.

“Many remarkable dreams become reality at Hofstra thanks to thededication and hard work of the University’s Trustees,administrators and faculty. As President I worked closely with myHofstra colleagues on projects such as the stadium. Hofstra’smarvelous stadium provides students, alumni, visitors and friendswith a first-class venue. It is one of the top on campusintercollegiate sports facilities, indoor or outdoor, in the New Yorkmetropolitan area. I am truly honored that the Hofstra Board ofTrustees has decided to name its stadium the James M. ShuartStadium at Hofstra University,” said Hofstra President EmeritusDr. James M. Shuart.

James M. Shuart Stadium, then known as Hofstra Stadium, wasthe benefit of a major renovation and expansion plan that wascompleted in the fall of 1996, and has made James M. ShuartStadium one of the premier facilities in the nation.

The $9 million project included the expansion of the seatingcapacity from 7,000 to 15,000; the installation of a network-quality lighting system for television broadcasts; an AthleticDepartment office building, which includes a press level and a

club suite level; two entrance plazas on the south and west sidesof the Stadium; a facade around the outside of the Stadium;additional parking and landscaping; a pavilion in the southeastcorner of the Stadium; concession and souvenir areas; two lockerrooms; the installation of a state-of-the-art scoreboard in the southend zone; and the reinstallation of a scoreboard in the north endzone. James M. Shuart Stadium is the largest outdoor sports andentertainment complex on Long Island.

“The renovation and expansion of the Stadium provides ourstudents, alumni, visitors and friends with a first-class facility inwhich to practice, play or watch their favorite sport,” stated then-President Shuart. “It is one of the top on-campus intercollegiate

sports facilities, indoor oroutdoor, in the New Yorkmetropolitan area.”

Opened in 1963, ShuartStadium has served as thesite for NCAAChampionships, NassauCounty and New York StateHigh School Championshipsin football and lacrosse,world championships inmen’s and women’s lacrosse,professional soccer,commencement exercises andcultural events. In 1968Hofstra Stadium became thethird college facility in thenation to install an artificialplaying surface, following theUniversity of Houston (The

Astrodome) and Indiana State University (Memorial Stadium).

Shuart Stadium has become a focal point of the Long Island sportsscene, serving as the home of the NCAA Division I Men’s LacrosseChampionship Quarterfinals, conference championships, theOutback Steakhouse Long Island All-Star Football Game, theHero’s Bowl, the Long Island Lizards of Major League Lacrosse,various Long Island High School and New York Statechampionship games and the 1999 Empire State Games. TheStadium also served as a home for the Long Island Rough Ridersof professional soccer’s A-League.

The two largest crowds in Hofstra Stadium history occurredduring the hosting of the NCAA Lacrosse Quarterfinals. A crowdof 12,292, an NCAA men’s lacrosse championship quarterfinalrecord and the largest-ever lacrosse crowd on Long Island,witnessed the 1999 NCAA quarterfinals featuring Hofstra versusJohns Hopkins and Duke versus Georgetown, and 10,510 fansattended the 2001 quarterfinals that featured Hofstra againstSyracuse.

In addition to the recent renovations, within the past decade theStadium has received a new balsam turf playing surface, severalsections of new chair-back seating, a new sound system and the$3.8 million Joseph M. Margiotta Field House in the south endzone.

The Howdy Myers Pavilion


In October 1998 Hofstra University President Emeritus Dr. James

M. Shuart presided over the dedication ceremony for the Howdy

Myers Pavilion in the south end zone of James M. Shuart Stadium.

Howdy Myers served as Hofstra University’s Director of Athletics,

Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach and Head Football Coach for a

quarter of a century. His extraordinary coaching

talents in both lacrosse and football from 1950 to

1975 made Howdy Myers a legend in both sports.

Myers was personally credited with the

tremendous growth of lacrosse on Long Island,

through the creation of scholastic clinics and

demonstrations in the 1950s, and leading the

Hofstra Lacrosse program to national prominence.

He was years ahead of the intercollegiate athletic

world with his use of many coaching innovations

in both lacrosse and football.

As Hofstra Lacrosse Coach,

Howdy Myers coached 26

seasons (1950-75) and recorded

a 214-139-4 record. He coached

Flying Dutchmen teams that

captured eight divisional

championships and made four

NCAA Division I Championship

Tournament appearances. In

1970 he received the F. Morris

Touchstone Award as the United

States Intercollegiate Lacrosse

Association (USILA) Division I

Coach of the Year. In 1971

Howdy Myers received the

Governor’s Trophy for providing

continuous and meaningful

contributions to lacrosse. That

same year he received lacrosse’s

highest honor when he was

inducted into the United States

Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

As Hofstra’s Football Coach for 25 years (1950-

74), Coach Myers recorded 15 winning seasons

and a 141-98-4 record. In 1959 he led the Flying

Dutchmen to the first undefeated (9-0-0) season

in Hofstra Football history.

Dr. Shuart, who served as a team captain under

Coach Myers in both football and lacrosse in the

early 1950s, praised the coaching legend.

“Howdy Myers had a huge impact on intercollegiate and scholastic

sports,” Shuart said. “Renowned for his coaching abilities

throughout collegiate sports, Coach Myers will always be a

Hofstra legend.”

Howard “Howdy” Myers passed away in

1980. Hofstra’s connection to the Myers

family includes his son, Howard Myers III,

his daughter, Dorsey Donnelly, and his son-

in-law, William Donnelly, who are all

Hofstra alumni.

A portrait sculpture of Howdy Myers,

created by artist Peter Homestead, stands in

front of the Pavilion facing the Shuart

Stadium field. In creating the sculpture, Mr.

Homestead worked from photographs and

consultations with Coach Myers’ family and

friends. The completed sculpture captures

the spirit and strength of Howdy Myers.

Alumni and friends of Coach Myers have

joined together to establish the Howard M.

Myers Jr. Endowed Athletic Scholarship in

his honor.

The history of athletics at Hofstra is as old as the University itself,and is steeped in the Dutch heritage that helps to make Hofstrasuch a unique school.

Hofstra has always had strong roots in tradition. Ties to Dutchheritage and the Netherlands began with William S. Hofstra, afterwhom the school is named and on whose property the Universitywas started. When the doors opened in 1935, the solebuilding on campus was Hofstra’s mansion, which hehad affectionately named the Netherlands after hishomeland. The mansion, which housesadministrative offices, is now the center ofHofstra’s 240-acre campus, and has beenrenamed Hofstra Hall.

Also adopted in this early stage of Hofstra’shistory was the school alma mater, “TheNetherlands.” The lyrics were written by afaculty member to the music of the Dutchnational anthem by the 16th-century Dutchcomposer Valerius.

The Hofstra FlagThe Hofstra storm flag is modeled after an actual Dutch geus, aprivateer’s flag. In 1991 a representative of Holland’s QueenBeatrix presented the banner to then Hofstra President (nowPresident Emeritus) James M. Shuart. The history of the flag datesback to 1572, when a group of Dutch loyalists calledWatergeuzen used the flag’s mast to ram the gates ofa Dutch city in their opposition to Spanish rule.While the Netherlands Royal Navy flies theoriginal red, white and blue geus, theHofstra version has been redesigned inthe school colors of gold, white andblue.

The gold, white and blue Hofstracolors themselves spring fromDutch roots. The first officialHofstra flag appeared on April 19,1940, when Dr. AlexanderLoudon, an envoy for QueenWilhelmina of the Netherlands,presented his country’s flag toHofstra in a special ceremony.However, the flag he presented wasnot the red, white and blue flag of theNetherlands, but the orange, whiteand blue banner of William ofNassau with a Hofstra emblemplaced on the flag. The Universityhas used the design ever since,although President Shuart, afterresearching the colors, replacedthe orange hue with gold, makingthe flag truer to the originalHouse of Nassau. The flag is one

of Hofstra’s most recognizable symbols, utilized in publications,pins and souvenirs.

The Hofstra SealThe Hofstra seal, another easily recognizable emblem, was

designed from the royal Dutch emblem by artinstructor Constant Van de Wall. The seal is

modeled on the coat of arms of the House ofOrange-Nassau. The round seal includes the

coat of arms, flanked by lions on eitherside. A lion also stands in the center ofthe coat of arms, holding a sword in itsright claw and a bundle of sevenarrows, which represent the sevenprovinces of Holland, in its left. Theseal also carries the motto of the Houseof Orange-Nassau in Old French: “Je

maintiendray” (I stand steadfast). In1988 one of the two lions on the seal was

officially replaced with a lioness. The seal isnow the focal point of the “Hofstra Pride”

logo.

The Hofstra NicknamesThe Hofstra nickname has also evolved over the years. For

decades, Hofstra athletic teams have used thenicknames Flying Dutchmen, Dutchmen,

or Dutch. Recently, an additionalnickname of The Pride has becomepopular. We have not changed ournickname. We are both the Dutch (andits variations) and the Pride.

The Pride nickname started duringthe University’s dramatic recoveryand growth in the mid to late ‘80’sfrom a major fiscal crisis during theprevious decade. The firstconsistent use of the word “Pride”relating to athletics started in 1989when the University’s athleticbooster club was founded andcalled itself The Pride Club. At thattime it had no meaning associatedwith our teams. It was simplyconsistent with a general feelingabout all of our efforts.

The Pride nickname has also evolvedover the past decade in a morespecific fashion than just theexpression of the feeling. The wordpride is used to describe a sense ofhaving strong self-respect or asense of accomplishment. But in

1988 the lion on the right side of the shield on the Hofstra sealwas changed into a lioness to symbolize gender equity.This, in turn, led to the development of the Universitymascots — Kate and Willie Pride, a lion and lioness.The two lions led to extensive use of the word“Pride” in talking about Hofstra, as a group of lionsis called a pride. In 1995 bronze reproductions ofthe lion and lioness were added to the campusscenery. In fact, there are now four such pairs ofsculptures on campus.

However, the evolution continues even further.In 1997, the University purchased a sculptureby Paul Manship of “Atalanta,” a figure fromGreek mythology. It is an impressive 14-foottall figure of a running woman. It is on thewest side of Hofstra Stadium. To complementthis figure, in 1998, the Universitycommissioned Gregg Wyatt to sculpt asimilarly sized figure of a running man. Inthis case it was a representation of“Hippomenes” who was a central figure inthe myth. The myth of Atalanta andHippomenes relates closely to Hofstrasymbology.

As the myth goes, an Oracle told Atalanta,as a young girl, that she must never marry.Thus, Atalanta avoided men and devotedherself to the chase. Soon she couldoutrun any man. Yet because Atalantawas so attractive she had manysuitors. To deal with them sheimposed an almost impossiblecondition. She would onlymarry one who could beat herin a foot race. While shewould be the prize of sucha race, the penalty forlosing was death.Nonetheless therewere suitors andthere was need of ajudge for suchraces. Hippomeneswas chosen forthis role. However,when he sawAtalanta he

immediately fell in love with her. Knowing he could neverout run her, he sought the help of Venus.

Venus agreed, and gave him three golden apples, whichHippomenes was to throw in front of Atalanta during

the race. The apples were so desirable it would beimpossible for her to resist picking them up, and thus

she would lose the race. All this came to pass, andwhen the race was over and won by Hippomenes,

they fell deeply in love and the youth carried offhis prize. However, they angered Venus for their

failure to thank her. As punishment, sheturned Hippomenes into a lion and Atalanta

into a lioness.

With this strong identification with lionsand the multiple meanings of the wordpride, our coaches and players, as wellas the sports media, have begun to use itextensively over the last several years.Our women’s teams especially are morecomfortable calling themselves ThePride, which is genderless, than theyare calling themselves The FlyingDutchwomen or the Lady Dutch. Themen’s teams are also comfortable with

the nickname Pride.

However, as noted earlier, wehave not abandoned the Flying

Dutchmen or formallyadopted The Pride. There is

nothing wrong withhaving more than onenickname. It is notuncommon for aschool to have twonicknames asinstitutions such asYale, Virginia, GeorgiaTech and Army havemultiple monikers. Thebottom line is ourname is HOFSTRA.

Long Island offers the best of both worlds: it is a suburbanhaven that is also convenient to New York City. Location,however, is just one of many assets that makes Long Islandattractive to both native residents and visitors alike. Thepeople, the sites and the unique geography of Long Islandbring people back again and again.

Long Island is the largest island adjoining the continentalUnited States. Twenty miles wide and approximately 118 mileslong, Long Island is separated from the mainland on the northby the Long Island Sound and on thesouth by the Atlantic Ocean. It measures100 miles from the Nassau-Queensborder to Montauk Point, which lies onthe eastern tip of the South Fork. Theeastern tip of the North Fork is calledOrient Point. The forks are separated bythe beautiful waters of the GreatPeconic Bay and Gardiner’s Bay. Nestledin the bays between the two forks areShelter Island and Gardiner’s Island.

With a population of 2.6 million people,Long Island has a population larger than20 states. It has 19 colleges and universities with 150,000students, and 127 public school districts with more than415,000 students. The region is considered one of the nation’swealthiest areas with a perhousehold median income of$52,000. The work force onLong Island now exceeds 1.4million persons, and the regionboasts one of the lowestunemployment rates in thenation. The economy is madeup of more than 85,000businesses, has 50 millionsquare feet of office space, andhas more than 1,000 shoppingmalls. Roosevelt Field is thepremier mall on Long Island,featuring department stores andspecialty shops, and is only minutes from the HofstraUniversity campus.

The most distinguishing features of Long Island, however, areits scenic beauty and its many sites and attractions. It hasbecome a vacation spot for many, a “getaway” from big cityhassles and distractions. People travel to enjoy the 1,100square miles of shoreline on more than 150 different beaches.No area of the Island is more than 15 minutes from a world-class beach. Jones Beach, which lies on the south shore, is a2,400-acre park with six miles of ocean beach, boardwalk, baybeach, pool, golf and outdoor concerts. It is 10 minutes fromHofstra and, in the summer, students can catch a Hofstrashuttle bus to the beach.

In addition, Long Island is home to 20 state parks, 100 golfcourses, 100 tennis clubs and 400 yacht clubs. The activeperson can enjoy camping, canoeing, bicycling, water skiing,boating or fishing. Others might enjoy visiting any of thelighthouses, the millionaire mansions, the art galleries or oneof Long Island’s 14 wineries. The tourist may join the crowd attheaters and gourmet seafood restaurants, or hit one of themany exciting nightclubs. Families might cool off at the beachor the water park. The Hamptons, at the heart of the SouthFork, are considered a summer resort area and are famous as

the playground community of the rich andfamous.

Long Island is the place for the sports fan, aswell. The Nassau Veterans MemorialColiseum, which is literally across the streetfrom Hofstra, offers concerts, children’sshows and is home to the National HockeyLeague’s New York Islanders. Belmont Park,home of horse racing’s Belmont Stakes,

offers thethoroughbredhorse enthusiastan outlet inbeautifulsurroundings.Heading intoQueens, there’sShea Stadium,home of the NewYork Mets. Furtherwest, and a shortride via the Long

Island Rail Road, is New York City,where students can frequent museums,theaters, retailers, Madison SquareGarden, South Street Seaport andmore.

More than 24 million people visitLong Island each year pumpingapproximately $7 billion into its

economy through tourism. Long Island is not merely a placefor the tourist, however. Generations have settled down andmade their living on Long Island, enjoying the benefits ofmoderate climate, miles of beautiful beaches, easy access toNew York City, and a place to call home. With scores of majorattractions and distinctive sites, Long Island has it all for thetourist, as well as the year-round resident.

The Colonial Athletic Association


HOFSTRALACROSSE

Boasting a roster of 10 well-respected academic institutions,the Colonial Athletic Association continues to build on aproud history as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences.

With the addition of four new members last year, the CAA’sgeographic footprint stretches from the shadow of the Statue ofLiberty to the beaches of North Carolina. The landscape of theCAA is dotted with major metropolitan areas that include fourof the nation’s top 25 media markets – New York (1),Philadelphia (4), Washington, D.C. (8) and Baltimore (24).

The CAA showcases the athletic and academic skills of someof the nation’s top student-athletes. On the playing field, theconference has produced 15 national team champions in fourdifferent sports, 28 individual national champions, 11 nationalcoaches of the year and nine national players of the year. Inrecent years, the CAA has ranked as the top Division I non-football conference in the Sears Directors Cup standings.

Even more impressive, however, are the honors accumulatedaway from competition, which include fiveRhodes Scholars, 11 NCAA post-graduate scholars and 11Honda Award winners.Annually, there are morethan 600 CAA student-athletes who post atleast a 3.2 grade pointaverage and letter in avarsity sport to garnerCAA Scholar-Athleteaccolades.

Under the direction ofCommissioner Thomas E.Yeager, who has guided the CAAsince its inception, the league basked inthe national spotlight on December 13, 2000. TheUniversity of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra Universityand Towson University were introduced as the conference’snewest members during a live televised press conference fromthe MCI Center in Washington, D.C. The four new institutionsjoined George Mason University, James Madison University,University of North Carolina at Wilmington, Old DominionUniversity, Virginia Commonwealth University and the Collegeof William & Mary, expanding the CAA to 10 members forthe first time in its history.

The CAA conducts championships in 21 men’s and women’ssports. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball,basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming &diving, tennis, track & field and wrestling. Female athletesbattle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, fieldhockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis,track & field, volleyball and golf.

The CAA traces its roots back to 1983 when three of itscurrent members- George Mason, James Madison, and William

and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, theUnited States Naval Academy and the University of Richmondas a basketball league (ECAC South). During the next twoyears, the league added 11 sports, acquired two new members(UNC Wilmington and American) and decided to form a newassociation.

The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place onJune 6, 1985. A “Proclamation of Creation” was signed byrepresentatives of the eight charter institutions and bymembers of the media assembled for the announcement. Bythe fall of 1986, the league gained automatic bids to NCAAChampionships in men’s basketball, soccer, baseball andwomen’s basketball and formed an officials’ bureau. OldDominion became a member of the CAA in 1991-92 andVirginia Commonwealth University joined the conference in1995-96.

In men’s basketball, the CAA has earned a reputation as a“giant killer” in the NCAA Tournament. Since 1981, CAA

schools have posted 12 wins over higher-seededteams, including UNC Wilmington’s upset of

Southern California last March. Nine ofthe conference’s 10 teams have made

at least two NCAA Tournamentappearances since 1990.

The tradition is equally asstrong in women’s basketball,where Old Dominion andJames Madison represent two of

the top 10 winningest teams inthe history of Division I. The Lady

Monarchs have captured threenational championships (1979, 1980,

1985) and reached the title game in 1997.Last season, ODU advanced to the Elite Eight before

falling to eventual national champion Connecticut. JMU madefour Sweet 16 appearances between 1986 and 1991.

The conference has also excelled in many other sports. CAAsquads have won 10 field hockey national titles since thechampionship began in 1981, which is not only more than anyother conference but represents nearly half of all titles won. Inbaseball, the CAA has ranked as one of the nation’s top fiveconferences in four of the past five seasons, with six teamsrated among the top 100 in Division I last season. The CAA isannually ranked among the nation’s top 10 conferences inmen’s and women’s soccer, and has traditionally sent multipleteams to the NCAA Tournament. The conference finished the2001-02 campaign with teams ranked among the top 20nationally in cross country, field hockey, soccer, women’sbasketball, wrestling, tennis and lacrosse.

From all-star athletes to Nobel Prize winning faculty, the CAAtakes great pride in producing performers who not only standout on the playing field, but also in the classroom.

ALL-CONFERENCE SELECTIONS

Every few years a student-athlete comes along with extraordinary talentand skill. Hofstra enjoyed the presence of such an athlete in DougShanahan from 1997 through 2001. The Farmingville, Long Island nativewas a two-sport standout, starring in lacrosse andfootball, and was the first two-sport, two-time All-American in Hofstra history. As a matter of fact,Shanahan received All-American honors three timesin lacrosse.

Before one looks at Shanahan’s lacrosse credentials,it should be remembered that he was a two-time I-AAAll-American at safety for the Hofstra football team asthe Pride made three NCAA I-AA Championshipappearances during his four years in the secondary.His career was highlighted by big plays and he endedhis college football career as one of the more prolificdefensive scoring players in school history. During histenure, he returned five interceptions or fumbles fortouchdowns. In addition, Shanahan recorded 15career interceptions and was among the team leaderin tackles every season.

If Shanahan was outstanding in football, he excelled in lacrosse, In1999, he received

USILA All-Americahonorable men-

tion honorsafter leadingthe team inscoring with21 goals and14 assists,ground balls with106 and winning101 of 181 face-offs (61.3).

As a junior in2000, Shanahan’spoint productiondipped slightly buthis impact wasjust as large ashe tallied 16goals and eightassists, led theteam in groundballs with 143and was third inthe country inface-off winningpercentage with

a 64.2 mark, winning 181 of 282draws. He was named to the USILA’s All-

America Second Team.

Shanahan saved his best for his senior season, record-ing 43 goals and 13 assists, once again led the team in

ground balls with 125, ranked 14th in the country in face-offs winning 167 of 285 draws for a 56.6 percentage and led

the Pride to the NCAA Tournament Quarterfinals for the secondtime in three years. His hard work and his impact on Hofstra and in

the lacrosse world were recognized when he was named to the USILAAll-America First Team; received the USILA’s Lt. Donald McLaughlin Jr.Award as the Division I Midfielder of the Year; received the USILA’sLt. Raymond J. Enners Award as the Outstanding Lacrosse Player in

Division I; and received the 2001Tewaaraton Trophy from the Washington,D.C University Club as the Top MaleLacrosse Player in the country.

During his four-year career at HofstraUniversity, Shanahan played in 63 gamesand accumulated 95 goals, 44 assists, 139

points, a school-record 450 ground balls, 347 shots and won528 of 868 face-offs for a winning percentage of 60.8.Although all of his career statistical numbers are not superior,his contributions to the Hofstra teams and the program duringhis tenure were.

It was an added bonus when he was invited to tryout lastJune and made the United States Team for the 2002 World

Championships. Not one to miss an opportunity,Shanahan’s fine play in leading the UnitedStates to the World title earned him the ILFWorld Championships Best and Fairest Award,which is the equivalent of the Championships’Most Valuable Player Award, as well as a spoton the 2002 International Lacrosse Federation’sAll-World Team.

Doug Shanahan is undeniably the most hon-ored player in the history of Hofstra Lacrosse.He had the unique ability to make a play whenthe team needed one and his desire to com-pete and his will to win were second to no one.

A man with many options for his careerpath, Shanahan has been a member ofthe New York Jets of the NFL, the NewYork Dragons of the AFL, and the NewYork Saints of the MLL since the WorldChampionships last Summer. His nameand his successes have become synony-mous with Hofstra Lacrosse. His impactwill be felt for many years to come.
