2014 NEW HAMPSHIRE FOOTBALL QUICK FACTS AND CONTACT INFORMATION

UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE FOOTBALL QUICK FACTS




Sean McDonnell, a 1978 UNH graduate, enters his 16th sea-son as head coach of his alma mater in 2014 with a career record of 114-71 (.616 winning percentage) that includes a 71-52 conference mark (.577). He has guided the Wildcats to 10 consecutive winning seasons – with five double-digit win totals – and the ‘Cats advanced to the NCAA Division I FCS tournament each of those 10 years, which is the longest active streak in the nation. Furthermore, UNH has been ranked in the Top 25 for 139 con-secutive polls, the longest streak in FCS football, which dates back to Sept. 13, 2004. The ‘Cats closed the 2013 season with a No. 5 national ranking, which matched the best year-end ranking in Uni-versity history.

In May 2013, McDonnell was honored by the Joe Yukica-New Hampshire Chapter of the Na-tional Football Foundation with the Andy Mooradian Award for his contributions to amateur foot-ball. His collegiate accolades include Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year (2005), AFCA District Coach of the Year (2004-05-12), CAA Coach of the Year (2004), New England Football Writers Coach of the Year (2005-08-10-12) and Gridiron Club of Greater Boston Head Coach of the Year (2000-04-09-12). Last year, UNH won multiple playoff games (three) in a single season for the first time in pro-gram history en route to the Wildcats’ first appearance in the FCS semifinals. The ‘Cats recorded five wins against nationally-ranked foes, including three vs. the Top 10, to finish with a 10-5 over-all record as well as a 6-2 CAA mark for the third consecutive year. New Hampshire recorded a six-game win streak for the second consecutive season and went a perfect 6-0 at home. After a 1-3 start, the 2013 season turned when Coach Mac’s Wildcats went for – and con-verted – a 2-point PAT with 14 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to defeat 12th-ranked Villanova, 29-28. UNH closed the regular season with a convincing 24-3 win at Cowell Stadium against fourth-ranked Maine to retain the Brice-Cowell Musket before recording playoff wins against Lafayette (45-7 at home), eighth-ranked Maine (41-27) and seventh-ranked Southeastern Louisiana (20-17). The 2012 Wildcats earned a share of the CAA championship – the second in Coach Mac’s career (2005) – with a 6-2 league mark. The ‘Cats compiled an 8-4 overall record that included an NCAA second-round game at Wofford. McDonnell reached coaching milestone victory No. 100 with a 44-21 win against Georgia State at the Georgia Dome on Oct. 6, 2012. Senior linebacker Matt Evans became the school’s all-time tackle leader (460) when he surpassed Steve Doig on Nov. 3, 2012, in Coach Mac’s first career victory against William & Mary (28-25). Evans had his No. 52 retired at the team awards banquet in March 2013, and fellow senior Chris Zarkoskie (OL) was the recipient of the CAA’s inaugural Chuck Boone Leadership Award. The 2011 Wildcats matched a school record for the second straight year by knocking off five ranked opponents en route to an 8-4 mark, including 6-2 in the CAA. The ‘Cats put a bow on their rivalry with Massachusetts by knocking off the Minutemen, 27-21, in the second Colo-nial Clash at Gillette Stadium, which was also the 74th and final scheduled meet-ing between the longtime rivals. UNH reclaimed the Brice-Cowell Musket with a 30-27 defeat of Maine in the regular-season finale and came within a blocked PAT of forcing overtime in a playoff loss at Montana State. Junior linebacker Matt Evans became the first Wildcat to ever be named the nation’s top defensive player when he won the Buck Buchanan Award, and senior quarterback Kevin Decker was crowned the CAA Offensive Player of the Year. In 2010, McDonnell’s Wildcats col-lected victories against five ranked oppo-

UNH-44, Georgia State-21 Coach McDonnell and the Wildcats celebrate his 100th career coaching victory in the

Georgia Dome on Oct. 6, 2012




nents, a University record, en route to an 8-5 campaign. UNH advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA postseason for the sixth time in seven years after dispatching Bethune-Cookman, 45-20, in a second-round encounter before suffering a 16-3 quarterfinal loss at eventual national champion-ship game participant Delaware. McDonnell was feted as the 2010 Division I FCS Coach of the Year by the New England Football Writers, his third such honor (2005, ’08). During the course of the ’10 campaign, the ‘Cats earned their 12th straight home victory –a school record- by shutting out No. 11 Richmond, 17-0, on Homecoming. Two weeks later, UNH made history by topping No. 12 UMass, 39-13, in the inaugural Colonial Clash at Gillette Stadium. The game was witnessed by 32,848 fans, the largest football crowd in CAA history. UNH finished 10-3 in 2009 and won its second straight CAA North Division championship. The Wildcats continued to be giant killers by knocking off an FBS opponent for the fifth straight time, securing a hard-fought 23-16 triumph at Ball State. Previous FBS opponents to feel the wrath of the Wildcats during the amazing upset run were Army (2008), Marshall (’07), Northwestern (’06) and Rutgers (’04). UNH was the only team to defeat eventual FCS national champion Villanova (28-24) on Homecoming. The Wildcats also posted an impressive win on the road at McNeese State, defeat-ing the Cowboys, 49-13, in the first round of the NCAA playoffs. New Hampshire notched a 10-3 record in 2008, including a defeat of Southern Illinois in the first round of the NCAAs before a quarterfinal-round setback at Northern Iowa. UNH finished the season ranked No. 7 in most national polls, and McDonnell was honored as the New England FCS Coach of the Year for the second time. In 2007, the Wildcats were 7-5 overall and just narrowly missed upsetting No. 1 Northern Iowa in the first round of the NCAAs, losing on a last-minute TD, 38-35, at the UNI Dome. The Wildcat offense, ranked 16th in the nation, averaged over 400 yards per contest. The Wildcats were ranked as high as No. 1 in the nation in 2006 and finished the season ranked sixth after defeating Hampton in the first round (41-38) of the NCAAs. Among the regular-season highlights was senior All-America wide receiver David Ball making history by surpassing legendary Jerry Rice with 58 career TD receptions and junior quarterback Ricky Santos claiming the Walter Payton Award as the FCS football national player of the year. In 2005, McDonnell was honored as the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year by The Sports Network after leading his Wildcats to a record-breaking 11-2 season, an Atlantic 10 Championship, a second straight NCAA appearance in the I-AA quarterfinals and the country’s No. 1 ranking at the end of the regular season. The Wildcats played host to two nationally-televised NCAA postseason games on ESPN at Cowell Stadium, beating Colgate in the first round before succumbing to Northern Iowa in the NCAA quarterfinals. McDonnell’s hard work rebuilding the program paid off in 2004 with a 10-3 overall record and a 6-2 mark in the Atlantic 10, which earned the team the Northern Division championship and a bid to the NCAA I-AA Championships for the first time since 1994. The ‘Cats advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time in the history of the program by winning its first-ever NCAA contest under McDonnell, a 27-23 upset at Georgia Southern. McDonnell was named a finalist for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year and was selected District Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). In 2003, UNH began turning the corner by winning three of its last four contests, including an upset victory over nationally-ranked Maine. The team’s 5-7 record could have easily been above .500, as the ‘Cats narrowly lost to No. 1 Delaware on a missed field goal in the closing seconds, and UNH was driving for a potential game-winning TD late at Division I-A Central Michigan before running out of time. In 2002, McDonnell’s offense was one of the most prolific in I-AA football and averaged 449.2 yards per contest and 36.7 ppg. In victories over the likes of Hampton, James Madison, Dartmouth and Massachusetts the ‘Cats scored 37 points/game and scored over 40 points in two of the victories. UNH finished with a 4-7 overall record in 2001. In 2000, the Wildcats were ranked as high as 23rd in the nation and knocked off three top-25 opponents, including Hampton (31-17), Massa-chusetts (24-16) and No. 2 Delaware on Nov. 4 (45-44 OT). Injuries squashed UNH’s chances for a playoff berth down the stretch, but UNH opened the campaign with a 4-0 record, its best start since 1977 when the Wildcats won seven straight games. UNH finished the season with a 6-5 record and finished tied for fourth in the Atlantic 10. McDonnell was named the Gridiron Club Of Greater Boston College Head Coach Of The Year. In his rookie season, McDonnell led the Wildcats to a 5-6 overall record and oversaw a wide-open offensive attack that led the Atlantic 10 with an average of 457.3 yards per game. McDonnell was named the 19th head coach of the UNH football program April 22, 1999. McDonnell replaced legendary head coach Bill Bowes, who retired after 27 years as the mentor of the Wildcats. McDonnell served eight seasons as a Wildcat assistant and completed his fifth year as the team’s offensive coordinator in 1998. McDonnell rejoined the Wildcats as an assistant coach before the 1991 spring camp and worked with the quarterbacks and receivers for his first three seasons. In 1997, McDonnell was named the recipient of “The College Assistant Coach Award” by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston in recognition of his quality of performance, loyalty and longevity. A native of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., McDonnell was a standout defensive back for UNH. He started for the 1975 and 1976 Yankee Conference championship teams and came back to start for the 1978 squad. After his graduation from UNH, he spent one year as an assistant coach at Manches-ter (N.H.) Memorial High School and followed that up with a three-year stint at Manchester West (1980-82). McDonnell worked as the defensive coordinator at Hamilton College for two seasons (1983-84) and subsequently spent three years (1985-87) coaching the receivers and tight ends at former conference-rival Boston University. During the 1988 campaign, McDonnell served as a graduate assistant coach at Boston College. He spent two seasons as an assistant at Columbia (1989-90) prior to his coaching debut in Durham. Sean and his wife, Jenny, reside in Durham and are the parents of two sons: Timmy and Tommy, who is a member of the UNH men’s basketball team.

UNH Depth Chart - End 2013




The University of New Hampshire football team boasts the na-tion’s longest active playoff streak of 10 consecutive years and the Wildcats made their deepest run in the NCAA FCS tourney with three postseason wins and a trip to the semifinals in 2013. UNH ended the year with a No. 5 national ranking and has been ranked in the Top 25 for 139 consecutive weeks – the longest streak in FCS – dating back to Sept. 13, 2004. Voters expect that success to continue into this season, as New Hampshire received 15 of 24 first-place votes to sit atop the 2014 CAA Preseason Poll. Offensively, the ‘Cats return eight starters from a unit that ranked No. 8 nationally in first downs (329) as well as third in the CAA in both scoring (30.8 points per game) and rushing (192.9 yards/game). Eight starters also return on defense, which ranked 14th in the nation in sacks (2.87 per game) and second in the CAA in turnovers (26), including second in fumbles (11) and third in interceptions (15). The top two tacklers – and eight of the top 10 – are back in the lineup in ‘14.

QUARTERBACKS For the second consecutive year, the Wildcats have two very experienced quarterbacks on their roster with junior incumbent Sean Goldrich (West Haven, Conn.) and senior Andy Vailas (Bedford, N.H.). Goldrich played in 14 of 15 games with nine starts last season while Vailas saw action in nine games with six starts; overall, Goldrich has taken a snap in 23 games (15 starts) and Vai-las has 22 career games played (13 starts). In the 2013 season, Goldrich led the team in completions (158), pass attempts (264), passing yards (2,076) and passing TDs (14). The 6-foot-3, 217-pound QB averaged 148.3 pass yards per game and completed 59.8% of passes with a pass efficiency rating of 138.10. Despite splitting time at quarterback, Goldrich ranked second on the team in carries (134) and third in both rushing yards (417) and rushing TDs (six). The signal caller excelled in the post-season with a career-high 291 passing yards in the second round at Maine in which he recorded a season-high three TDs and 186.46 rating. One week later in the quarterfinals at Southeastern Louisi-ana, Goldrich finished with a career-high 24 completions and sea-son-high 35 pass attempts for 276 yds to complement his career highs in carries (21), rushing yards (99) and rushing TDs (three).

2014 SEASON PREVIEW In the 2014 Blue-White spring scrimmage, Goldrich was a per-fect 12 of 12 for 139 yards and a TD. Vailas, who saw action in nine games (six starts), completed 130 of 218 pass attempts (.596) for 1,397 yards and nine touch-downs. At 6-2, 191 pounds, he also rushed for 171 yards and two TDs on 56 carries. Vailas recorded career highs in completions (28), attempts (49) and passing yards (397) vs. James Madison; he threw a pair of touchdowns that game vs. the Dukes. In the opener against FBS foe Central Michigan, Vailas tallied a season-high 68.2% completion percentage for 156 yards and a TD. Sophomores Adam Riese (Hamilton, N.J.) and Chris McCor-mick (Winooski, Vt.), as well as redshirt freshman Brad Wilson (Costa Mesa, Calif.), are the QB understudies. Of the three, only Riese saw game action a year ago; he played in four games and completed his only pass attempt (for one yard). In the most recent Blue-White spring scrimmage, McCormick went 11-for-16 for 99 yards, Riese was 5 of 10 for 22 yards and Wilson completed 2 of 3 passes for 20 yards.

RUNNING BACKS New Hampshire has a versatile and veteran backfield. Nico Steriti (Toms River, N.J.) epitomizes that statement with three years experience and a blend of speed and power. He became the first ‘Cat to eclipse 1,000 rushing yards since 2002 when he totaled 1,028 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in 2013; the 5-foot-11, 224-pound RB garnered CAA All-Conference Second Team hon-ors for the second consecutive year. Steriti led UNH in those two stats, as well as all-purpose yards (1,400) as he was the Wildcats’ top receiver out of the backfield with 17 catches for 213 yards and also had 11 kickoff returns for 159 yards. Steriti ranked fifth in the CAA in rushing yards and was also fifth in conference-only rushing yards (566). He surpassed 100 all-purpose yards six times, includ-ing three 100-yard rushing efforts. The rising senior ranks eighth all-time in UNH history with 2,319 career rushing yards and he was selected to the 2014 CAA Preseason All-Conference Team. At 5-11, 213, Dalton Crossan (Lake Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) pos-sesses breakaway speed that fueled three rushes of 50-plus yards and a 93-yard kickoff return for a TD at Albany. He ranked fourth on the team in all-purpose yards (930) and averaged a team-leading 12.0 yards per carry with 32 rushes for 385 yards. Crossan also contributed to the aerial attack with 12 catches for 118 yards (9.8/

Goldrichsteriti




2014 SEASON PREVIEWcatch). He was atop the team leaderboard in kickoff returns (18), kickoff return yardage (427) and kickoff return average (23.7). Crossan scored six total TDs (rush-4, receive-1, kick return-1) and recorded 100+ all-purpose yards five times, including season-high 185 at Albany with the aforementioned 93-yard kickoff return for a TD and 51-yd rushing TD that game. Jimmy Owens (West Deptford, N.J.; 5-9, 220) averaged 5.4 yards per carry by gaining 156 yards on 29 rushes last year as a junior. He recorded a season-high 69 rushing yards on nine carries in the NCAA first round playoff game vs. Lafayette. Jim Earley (Hopkinton, N.H.; 5-10; 181), another senior, has seen limited playing time in his Wildcat career. He played in two games last season and had three rushes for seven yards. In the spring scrimmage, Earley had six rushes for 18 yards and two catches for 17 yards. Redshirt freshmen Donald Goodrich (York, Maine; 5-10, 185) and Cody Rothwell (Merrimack, Mass.; 5-10, 188) look to make an impact. Goodrich matched Earley’s rushing numbers in the spring game and had a two-yard touchdown run.

WIDE RECEIVERS UNH quarterbacks lost one of their top targets with the gradu-ation of Justin Mello, who had a team-high 1,038 receiving yards on 73 catches a year ago; he also led the ‘Cats – and the CAA – with 10 TDs. The Wildcats had teammates eclipse 1,000 receiving yards for the first time and the other part of that duo returns in senior R.J. Harris (Odenton, Md.), who joined Steriti on the CAA Preseason All-Conference Team. Harris (6-0, 203) played in 12 of 15 games and led the squad in receptions (76) and receiving yards per game (83.7); he also was second in receiving yards (1,004), receiving TDs (five) and all-purpose yardage (1,131). With those numbers, Harris was an All-America Honorable Mention for three publica-tions; his other accolades included All-New England and All-Con-ference First Team. His explosiveness was on display in his first game back from injury, when he recorded 10 catches for 183 yards and three TDs vs. James Madison. Senior Jimmy Giansante (Jefferson Hills, Pa.; 6-2, 200) ranked fourth on the squad in both catches (31) and receiving yards (306) last season to average 20.4 yards/game and 9.9 yds/reception. Expect junior Jared Allison (Cliffwood, N.J.) to be a key re-ceiver to watch this season. The 5-8, 173 pound wideout totaled

200 receiving yards and one score on 20 catches in 2013. That was part of 555 all-purpose yards in which he also recorded 19 carries for 118 yards and 12 kickoff returns for 237 yards. Allison was a triple threat at Lehigh with 119 all-purpose yards – 57 rushing, 21 receiving and 41 kick return. Classmate Mike DeTroia (Barnegat, N.J.; 6-3, 206) played in 13 of 15 games last season and caught seven passes for a total of 50 yards, including four catches for 26 yards versus William & Mary. Mike Kelly (Merrimack, N.H.; 5-9, 191), another junior, is making the transition from running back to wide receiver. He saw action in 14 games a year ago and had seven carries for 13 yards. Sophomore Kyon Taylor (Springfield, Va.; 5-11, 178) saw action in 13 games last season but did not record a catch. In the spring game, he led all ‘Cats with six catches for 77 yards, and that included a 22-yard TD. Other wide receivers to watch include sophomores Brian Ferreira (Mansfield, Mass.), Anthony Pante (Manalapan, N.J.) and Mark Accino (Hyde Park, Mass.) as well as redshirt fresh-men Max Avin (Coral Springs, Fla.), Chris Redding (Bennington, Vt.), Brian Henry (Newfields, N.H.), and Aaron Lewis-Cenales (Odenton, Md.).

TIGHT ENDS Harold Spears (Perkasie, Pa.) will continue to be the primary option at tight end for the Wildcats; the 6-foot-4, 246 pound se-nior was a CAA All-Conference Third Team selection the past two years. He totaled 478 yards last season while hauling in four touch-downs on 34 catches – those numbers ranked third on the squad in all three stats. Spears caught a pass 13 of 15 games with multiple catches 11 times, 31.9 receiving yards/game and 14.1 yds/recep-tion. Sophomore Jordan Powell (Forked River, N.J.; 6-3, 241) played all 15 games in 2013 with three catches for 14 yards and one TD. Junior Ekene Nwokoye (Hanover, N.H.), another big target at 6-5, 218, saw action in three games a year ago and has played in five career games.

OFFENSIVE LINE In the trenches, the Wildcats boast four players with significant starting experience. Senior co-captain Rob Bowman (Cheshire, Conn.), who checks in a 6-5, 302, has transitioned to left tackle

2014 SEASON PREVIEWafter 27 straight starts at right tackle. Mike Coccia (Bethlehem, Pa.), another senior, started 30 con-secutive games spanning the 2011-13 seasons before being side-lined by injury the last nine games a year ago. The 6-3, 300 pounder was a CAA All-Conference Third Team honoree as a sophomore in 2012. Tad McNeely (Whitehall, Pa.) and Alexander Morrill (Leba-non, N.H.) stepped into the starting lineup last year as redshirt fresh-men. McNeely (6-2, 282) played in 13 of 15 games with 12 starts; he received the starting nod at left guard the initial four games of 2013, then filled in for Coccia at center the last eight games of the season. Morrill (6-2, 305) was inserted into the starting lineup at left guard the fifth game of the year and remained there the rest of the way. The only other ‘Cats with game experience on the offensive line are upperclassmen. Seniors Alex Blane (North Andover, Mass.; five games) and Tim Johnson (Oakdale, Pa.; four games) saw limited action last year, as did juniors George Kallas (Beverly, Mass.; three games), Austin Heter (McKees Rocks, Pa.; three games) and Zach Hundertmark (West Windsor, N.J.; one game). Sophomores Curtis Nealer (Pitman, N.J.) and Andrew Lau-derdale (Concord, N.H.) are battling to see game action. Lauder-dale made the transition to the offensive line this past spring; last year, he played in six games as a backup tight end and did not catch a pass. The group of offensive linemen also consists of redshirt fresh-men Mike Zaloga (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.), Jake Kennedy (Am-herst, N.H.) and Will McInerny (Bedford, N.H.).

DEFENSIVE LINE Cody Muller (Telford, Pa.), who received a medical hardship waiver for a sixth year in 2014, will lead the defensive end rotation as a co-captain after totaling 54 tackles, including 10 for loss and 6.5 sacks, last season. The 6-4, 250 pounder tied for the team lead in sacks and ranked second among defensive linemen in tackles. Brian Ciccone (Manchester, Mass.) took major strides during spring camp in hopes of building on a ’13 campaign that saw him collect 25 tackles. Now standing 6-3, 244, Ciccone was part of the tight end corps in 2011 and ‘12. Robbie Zauck (Ocean City, N.J.; 6-2, 243) is fully recovered from an injury that sidelined him all of last season; he played all 12

games in ‘12 with 16 tackles. Junior Dab Ukwuani (Gaithersburg, Md.; 6-3, 252) will be relied upon to take on added reps, while younger ends Riley Pritchett (Berwyn, Pa.), Harry Theodhosi (Londonderry, N.H.), Mike Lynch (Nashua, N.H.) and Mike Bo-ryeskne (Sparta, N.J.) will also get a chance to make an impact. Among defensive tackles, senior Matt Kaplan (Franklin, N.H.) returns after registering 36 tackles last season. The 6-1, 302 pounder was credited with seven tackles for a loss, including 6.5 sacks. Veteran DTs Jullian Turner (East Pittsburgh, Pa.) and Rashid Armand (Brooklyn, N.Y.) combined for 52 stops last season, mak-ing the middle of the line a strong suit. Turner, a junior who stands 6-1, 300, recorded a tackle 14 of 15 games to finish with 29. Ar-mand (6-1, 293) tallied a tackle in 10 games and totaled 23. Juniors Ryan Welch (Dunstable, Mass.) and Danny Riley (Danielsville, Pa.), sophomore Cam Shorey (Calais, Maine) and redshirt freshman Rick Holt (Portsmouth, N.H.) look to fortify the position.

LINEBACKERS The top two tacklers from a year ago return at the linebacker position. Akil Anderson (Morristown, N.J.; 6-1, 213) led the Wild-cats in total tackles (124) to average 8.3 per game and earn a spot on the CAA All-Conference Third Team. Anderson recorded 13.5 tackles for a loss, including 5.5 sacks, and was also credited with six pass breakups. He finished with double-digit tackles five times, including a career-high 13 in the NCAA second round game, won at Maine. Shane McNeely (Whitehall, Pa.; 6-2, 248) ranked second in tackles (120) with a team-high 14 tackles for a loss, including six sacks (which ranked third). The senior was also credited with a team-leading three forced fumbles as well as one fumble recov-ery and two interceptions. McNeely recorded 7+ tackles 12 of 15 games, including 10 at FBS school Central Michigan and 12 at Al-bany. DeVaughn Chollette (Scranton, Pa.; 6-0, 233), the third key member of last season’s LB rotation, ranked seventh on the team in total tackles (63) and averaged 5.1 tackles/game in CAA conference games in his first collegiate campaign. He tallied 4+ tackles eight times, including a career-high 12 at William & Mary and seven in the NCAA semifinal at North Dakota State. Sophomores Ryan Farrell (Westwood, Mass.) and Kevin Mc-

Nally (Cornwall, N.Y.) should bolster the position with another camp under their belts; McNally had six tackles in 12 games while Farrell made five tackles in 11 games. Junior Jesse Arsenault (Ber-lin, N.H.) as well as redshirt freshmen Antonio Natale (Bridgewa-ter, N.J.) and Odaine Franklyn (White Plains, N.Y.) each look to make positive impressions.

CORNERBACKS UNH’s collection of cornerbacks is young but experienced. Casey DeAndrade (East Bridgewater, Mass.) played 14 of 15 games with 13 starts last year as a redshirt freshman while Steven Thames (Fort Washington, Md.) had 12 starts in 14 games. Both Lamar Edmonds (Worcester, Mass.) and Dougie Moss (Hunts-ville, Ala.) saw action all 15 weeks with Edmonds inserted into the starting lineup four times. DeAndrade (5-11, 199) had an impactful rookie season in which he ranked fourth on the team in tackles (69) and ranked sec-ond in the nation with a team-high 20 pass breakups. He also ranked second in interceptions (three) and was credited with a fumble re-covery. Thames, a 6-0, 187 pound senior, led the ‘Cats with four inter-ceptions, was second in pass breakups (11) and was also credited with 55 tackles and one forced fumble. Edmonds, a junior standing 5-10 and 192 pounds, posted 38 tackles, 25 solo, with one interception and five pass breakups. Moss notched 16 tackles and should take another step in his development heading into his junior season. Junior Kalil Bailey (Lancaster, Pa.), sophomore Horace Chal-strom (Annapolis, Md.) and redshirt freshmen Geno Miller (Fort Washington, Md.), Patrick Mensah (New City, N.Y.) and Marquis Carr (Naples, Fla.) also figure to see time in the defensive back-field.

SAFETIES Senior Nick Cefalo (Basking Ridge, N.J.) ranked sixth on the team in tackles (65) and third in pass breakups (nine) last season. He also recorded one interception and two fumble recoveries. Among all returning safeties, junior Hayden Knudson (Alex-andria, Va.) topped the charts with 68 tackles while recording one interception, one forced fumble and six pass breakups.

Keith Parkinson (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./18 tackles, two INTs), Tre Williams (Syracuse, N.Y./24 tackles) and Daniel Rowe (Or-ange, N.J./18 tackles) supply reinforcement at the position. Other players to watch include Eric Burgos (Danvers, Mass.) and Nick Marino (Hudson, N.H.).

SPECIAL TEAMS UNH can win the battle for field position with the punting of senior Brad Prasky (Groton, Mass.) but the Wildcats need to find the successor to placekicker Mike MacArthur, who handled the field goal, PAT and kickoff duties the past four years. Prasky ranked 30th in the nation and fourth in the CAA in punt-ing with an average of 41.3 last season, his first as the Wildcats’ primary punter. He totaled 72 punts for 2,975 yards and recorded 22 punts inside the 20 as well as 17 fair catches. Junior Christian Breda (Needham, Mass.), redshirt fresh-man Max Pedinoff (Newtown, Pa.) and sophomore Joe Ghiloni (Warwick, N.Y.) will battle for placekicking responsibilities. Breda, the only one with game day experience (four games, all last year), made 2 of 3 PATs last year in three games played; he also had four kickoffs for an average of 53.0 yards.

In June 2014, the University System of New Hampshire board of trustees approved UNH’s plan to renovate its athletic complex as part of its campus master plan. The approval came after the University successfully raised $5 million in private donations. The renovated complex will replace Cowell Stadium with a seating capacity of more than 10,000 and offer increased and improved seating in a new home grandstand on the west side to include state-of-the art broadcast and WiFi capability, concessions, rest rooms, and a special student section. Installation of lights and new seating on the east side is being completed in summer 2014. Construction on the west side will begin after the completion of the 2014 football season. The athletic complex will be a resource for the University and entire state of New Hampshire to host more state, regional and national competitions and events such as Special Olympics, concerts and high school championships. Fans, alumni and students can track progress of the stadium project at UNHStadium.com, a joint venture between UNH Athletics and Pack Network that provides exclusive content on the ongoing fundraising and planning efforts for the stadium project.
