This was indeed a year to celebrateand remember --- 100 years of varsitysports on Hawk Hill!

Who would have imagined in 1910that an athletic program with threesports, 50 student-athletes and nofacilities to call their own would growto 20 varsity sports, 450 student-ath-letes and multiple on-campus facili-ties by 2010? Much has changed, yetmuch has stayed the same!

The spirit, pride and passion of our fans has stayed the same; the spirit, intellect andpurpose of the Ignatian education that we provide for all our students remains at theforefront; our commitment to strive for the ‘magis’ - the more, remains constant; ourgoal to help mold student-athletes who are men and women for others is unwaver-ing, and finally, our work with alumni who are faith-filled leaders that aspire to maketheir communities better is the same!

The 2009-10 Annual Report highlights the many accomplishments of today’s student-athletes, coaches and staff. We are extremely proud of their success in the classroom,on the playing fields and in the community.

This report is also a salute to the many alumni and friends who played a role in thefacility enhancements that we dedicated this past year. Many have helped providethe financial support needed to enhance the student-athlete experience and preparethem for the next step in their development. The quality of their experience isenhanced because of your financial support – both in these facility enhancements andon-going operational support.

Much has been accomplished and much more is planned, so stay tuned and read on.

On behalf of everyone who has worn the Crimson and Gray, we thank you for yourcommitment to SJU Athletics. It is indeed because of you that “The Hawk Will NeverDie!”

Sincerely,

Don DiJulia - Associate Vice President/Director of Athletics

A new era of Saint Joseph's basketball officially began on October 17, 2009 with thededication of the Michael J. Hagan '85 Arena. The ribbon-cutting ceremony wasattended by more than 1,000 Hawk supporters, with many former players and coach-es taking part, including Hall of Fame coach Dr. Jack Ramsay '49.

The opening of Hagan Arena was the climax of a 16-month project of expanding andrenovating Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse. Hagan Arena has a capacity of 4,200, whichis an increase of 1,000 from the Fieldhouse. It has many more amenities to enhancethe Saint Joseph's fan experience, while providing the basketball program with a top-notch facility that still preserves the homecourt advantage enjoyed for so many yearsat Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse.

Among the amenities now in Hagan Arena isa new premium seating section with chairbacks; a new upper level concourse withadditional restrooms and concessionstands; a fully air-conditioned arena; a newwill-call entrance as well as additional ticketentrances in the back of the arena; renovat-ed locker rooms both home and away; andan expanded media room.

"The Arena is spectacular in every way. But the main thing is that the spirit that isSaint Joseph's University has not changed," said Hawk basketball coach Phil Martelli.

Michael J. Hagan, and his wife, Joyce, were the lead benefactors for the most com-prehensive enhancement of athletic facilities in Saint Joseph's history. A 1985 gradu-ate of SJU, he received his bachelor's degree in accounting and was a member of theHawks' golf team. The former chairman and chief executive officer of NutriSystem,Inc., Hagan was named the 2006 Entrepreneur of the Year by Forbes magazine.

The event ended with the blessing of the building by University president Timothy R.Lannon, S.J. The members of the 2009-10 men's and women's basketball teams heldthe ribbon that was cut by Fr. Lannon, and Michael J. Hagan.

"I dare anyone who participated in or watched this ceremony to honestly say thattheir eyes didn't fill up," said Martelli.

The inaugural game at Hagan Arena took place on November 13, as the Hawks' men'sbasketball team topped Drexel, 77-67, in overtime. The women’s basketball teamdefeated UMBC, 77-55, in its first home game on November 21 and hosted the firstpostseason game at Hagan Arena against VCU in the Women’s National InvitationTournament on March 18, 2010.

We are alsonow able, because of the new facilities, to maximize the opportunities for match play,so we have an expanded schedule.”

With the addition of the SJU Tennis Complex, the Hawks now offer 10 courts andyear-round state-of-the-art training facilities for student-athletes, including the previ-ous four courts alongside Finnesey Field.
