ION

The 2009 season marks the Charger football program's 32nd season, and will be the fi rst time since the conclusion of the 2003 campaign that UNH has fi elded a team. The return of the football is of great interest and excitement to University of New Haven students, alumni, fans and friends of athletics. Charger football has a

storied tradition of gridiron success, including four NCAA Division II playoff qualifi cations in the 1990's. The program posts an all-time record of 172-135-5 in 31 seasons, including a 142-87-1 (.620) mark after moving to the Division II level in 1982.

When the Charger football team advanced to the NCAA Championship game in 1997, with now 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 advanced to the NCAA semifi nals in 1992 and the quarterfi nals in 1993 and 1995.

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. UNH has had a player fi nish in the top four in the Harlon Hill voting on fi ve occasions.

UNH has a proud tradition of coaches that have gone on to fi nd great success in the professional and college ranks as well. Tony Sparano, who led UNH to the 1997 national championship game and is second all-time in victories at UNH, is currently the Head Coach for the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. Chris Palmer (coach, 1986-87) has been an NFL head coach and is currently the quarterbacks coach for the New York Giants. The program’s all-time wins leader, Mark Whipple (coach, 1988-93), piloted UMass to a Division I-AA national championship in 1998 and won a Super Bowl as quarterbacks coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Whipple is currently the Offensive Coordinator at the University of Miami. Darren Rizzi (coach, 1999-2001) currently serves as assistant special teams coordinator for the Dolphins, joining Sparano in Miami.

RALPH F. DELLACAMERA STADIUM - FIRST SEASON

Newly renovated with state-of-the-art blue and yellow turf, Sprinturf, Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium will host its’ fi rst foot-ball game on Saturday, September 19, 2009. Sporting a large Charger logo in the center, the renovation was made possible by a gift from alumnus Ralph F. DellaCamera Jr., managing member and CIO of DellaCamera Capital Management LLC in Manhattan and a member of the university’s board of gover-nors.

After receiving turf inprovements 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 renovations in 2008, the then Robert B. Dodds Stadium was a natural grass surface and was home to the

Charger Football program up until 2003. Dodds Stadium was the longtime home of the UNH men’s and women’s soccer and women’s lacrosse programs until the fall of 2007, when Kayo Field became their new home after a multi-million dollar artifi -cial turf resurfacing. As the former home for the Charger Foot-ball team, Dodds Stadium saw a number of important games throughout its history, as UNH advanced to the NCAA Football playoffs four times during the 1990’s.

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 Gymnasium lot. Fans should not park on side streets around DellaCamera Stadium.


COACHING STAFF

University of New Haven President Steven H. Kaplan and Director of Athletics Deborah Chin introduced Peter

Rossomando as the university's head football coach at a press conference on Thursday, December 13, 2007, in UNH's Alumni Lounge & Conference Center.

Rossomando, 35, became the ninth head coach in program history and offi cially began his duties at UNH on January 1, 2008. He will lead the Chargers back onto the fi eld when football resumes play as a member of the Northeast-10 Conference in 2009.

For the last seven seasons, Rossomando has been on the coaching staff at 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, Peter served as associate head coach, offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for his last three seasonns at Albany. Rossomando has 14 seasons of highly-successful college coaching experience under his belt, and kicked off his career with a fi ve-year stint at the University of New Haven from 1994 to 1998. The Chargers were 41-14-1 in Rossomando's fi rst 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.

"I'm extremely happy with our decision to hire Peter Rossomando as the next head coach in UNH football history," said University of New Haven President Steven H. Kaplan. "In the past few years, the University has realized a remarkable transformation and will continue this growth with our entrance into the prestigious Northeast-10 Conference. Peter is an excellent coach with an impressive resume who is going to be an inspiration for us. He understands that student-athletes are more than just players, but they are members of our

community as well. We are confi dent he will lead a highly-successful football program that will make the entire UNH community proud."

Director of Athletics Deborah Chin noted during the press conference, "It was important for us to fi nd a head coach that was well-prepared in all facets of running a program, not only on the sidelines. He is going to be excellent at recruiting well-rounded student-athletes that will make us proud on and off the fi eld, as well as engaging our large and interested base of alumni and fans."

"I was lucky enough to work at UAlbany under a head coach that has been at the same school for 35 years," Rossomando said during the press conference. "And one of the things that Tony Sparano taught me is if you fi nd the right place, with the right people, you can stay forever. Today I've found the right place, and I think we've found the right people for our program to be successful."

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.

PETER ROSSOMANDOHEAD COACH FIRST SEASONRECORD: 0-0

ALMA MATER: BOSTON UNIVERSITY, 1994


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 at 254.7 yards per game, plus led 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 SUNY-Cortland prior to taking up his position at UAlbany. He handled weekly game plans, coached the kickoff return and fi eld goal special teams, 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, Peter served as both offensive line coach and academic coordinator during his fi rst three seasons with the program. He spent his fi nal two years as the Chargers' defensive line 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.

Sparano, UNH's head coach at the time and now the head coach for the NFL's Miami Dolphins, phoned in his remarks during the press conference. "I don't need to tell Pete about the University of New Haven, I need to tell all of you (in the room) about our new head coach. Pete has an impressive coaching background and he's a solid recruiter, and he's just the person to lead our program back to where we want it to be. I trusted him with my two sons who played for him up at UAlbany. He is a class guy who is going to make our University of New Haven family proud."

The Chargers saw three offensive linemen named All-ECAC and two on the All-New England squads with Rossomando as their position coach. In Rossomando's fi rst season, 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 runner-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. Sparano was offensive coordinator at Boston University during Rossomando's time with the Terriers.

"There's a lot of work to be done," Rossomando said, "but I'll be out on the road recruiting as soon as possible to get players on campus. And we'll fi nd the students who are already here that can play for us, be ready to hit the practice fi eld next fall and then play our fi rst game in 2009."

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.

SEASON PREVIEW

After a fi ve year absence, the Universi-ty of New Haven football team returns to the gridiron in 2009 as a member of the Northeast-10 Conference. The Chargers have spent the entire 2008 and 2009 calendar years to recruit over 80 student-athletes that make up the 2009 roster. One student-athlete returns from the ’03 squad, another recently celebrated his 43rd birthday and 19 student-athletes hail from the state of Connecticut.

Leading the way for the Chargers will be a core of student-athletes that reported last fall to begin the process of rebuilding the program. Nearly 15 coaches have helped to recruit and guide the student-athletes through the development process. The 2009 roster boasts 43 freshmen, 35 sophomores and seven upperclassmen.

Under fi rst-year head coach Peter Rossomando, the Chargers will feature multiple different offensive and defen-sive schemes. On the offensive side, UNH will often showcase one tailback and three-or-more receivers. On the defensive side, the Chargers will dis-play multiple three-man fronts. While captains will not be selected for the 2009 season, two Connecticut natives will fi nd themselves in leadership rolls as the season unfolds. Seymour High School graduate, Ryan Osiecki will lead the team as the starting quarter-back, while Weaver High School gradu-ate and the 2007 Hartford Courant Defensive Player of the Year, Raheem Stanley will anchor the UNH defense at nose guard.

OffenseOsiecki leads a talented pack of quar-terbacks in the 2009 season. With experience at the University of Louis-ville as a walk-on freshman last fall, Osiecki earned the starting quarter-back position after strenuous spring and offseason workouts. Battling for

the backup position is a trio of Brice DeRosa, Bernard Risco and Ronnie Nelson.

Leading the way in the backfi eld will be second-year running back, Mike DeCaro. A 2008 graduate of Cypress Bay High School in Weston, Fla., DeCaro will often be the only back in the Chargers’ single-back formations. Others in the backfi eld will be a pair of sophomores, Andrew Nass and Victor Jones, and two highly touted fresh-men, Brian Alston and Scott Lowery. Nass graduated from Hasbrouck Heights High School in New Jersey in 2008 and spent last season at Iona College, while Jones is a second-year player from Patterson, New Jersey. Alston rushed for over 2,000 yard in high school in Robbinsville, N.J. and Lowery was selected to the Bergen County All-Star Team at Paramus Catholic High School (N.J.).

The Chargers wide receiver corps will be anchored by a solid core of second year players, Chris Ruffi n and Sharieff Hall, who were both part of the Chargers spring roster. Hall played the 2008 season at Bethune Cook-man University in Daytona Beach, Fla., while Ruffi n played his prep ball in New York with the Harlem Hellfi ght-ers and led the state in receptions in 2007. The third part of the wide receiv-ing trio will be sophomore Demetrius Washington-Ellison who played at the University of Maine last season. The transfer was a 2007 All-State per-former at Rahway High School in New Jersey. Adding to the receiving corps depth is another second-year player in Kareem Cutler. An All-State honoree, Cutler played at Charlestown High School (Mass.). One of the Chargers’ great stories this season is senior wide receiver Devin Robinson, who will add senior leadership to the team. Robin-son played for the Chargers in 2003 and returns this season to complete

his fi nal year of eligibility. A variety of freshman, including Josh Smart, will add strength to the position as they develop throughout the season.

The offensive line will be spearheaded by sophomore left guard David Sted-man and sophomore center John Irwin. Stedman helped lead the Hasbrouck Heights Aviators to the New Jersey State Championship during his high school career. Irwin, who started with the Chargers last fall, attended Burlington Township High School in New Jersey. Completing the left side of the line will be the third sopho-more, Lance Chapman. Chapman was a three-year letter winner at South Glenns Falls High School in New York. After starting two seasons at Stone-hill College, junior transfer Branden Naraine adds experience at the right tackle position for UNH. The right guard position will most likely be fi lled by either Zach Conklin or Robert Pysz, who may share playing time through-out the season. Conklin, a freshman from Otisville, N.Y., was an All-State selection in high school, while Pysz, a transfer from Iona College, helped guide Seymour High School to the 2007 Connecticut State Champion-ship. Also vying for playing time on the offensive line will be freshmen James Malloy, Sami Caygoz, Greg Waters, Ryan Mousley and Thierry Andris.

The battle for the Chargers’ tight end position is a tight one. Four players will all see signifi cant playing time at the position, including second year players Kameel Lashley, Jake Stark, Zachary Vonder Linden and Brandon Ruberti. Prior to UNH, Lashley played at Brigh-ton High School and earned a place in the Shriners All-Star game, while Ruberti earned All-Conference and All-Area honors at Daniel Hand High School. A converted linebacker, Vonder Linden was an All-County selection at Vernon Township High School in New


SEASON PREVIEW

Jersey. Stark earned All-Sussex County honors at Kittatinny Regional High School in Newton, New Jersey two years ago.

DefenseAnchoring the defensive line at nose guard this season will be sophomore Raheem Stanley. Stanley was not only the Courant Defensive Player of the Year, but also a two-time All-Conference selection at Weaver High School. A freshman and sophomore duo, Angelo Cupo and Ahmet Basci will start at the defensive end posi-tions. Cupo, from Coral Springs, Fla., prepped at North Broward and earned Second Team All-Sun Sentinal honors. Basci has helped lead the Chargers since last fall and came to UNH after completing three All-League seasons at Fair Lawn High School in New Jer-sey. Forty-three year old sophomore, Wayne Parks will back up Stanley at the nose guard position. Parks, also a fi refi ghter in Fairfi eld County, joined the team last year and has helped play a leadership role on the defensive side of the ball. Chidoziem Ezemma and Alex Quinn will also vie for playing time at the defensive end positions.

Leading a group of second-year play-ers at the inside linebacker positions will be Cody Wallace out of New Milford, Connecticut. Wallace was an All-State and a two-time All-Conference selection and has been one of the team leaders since last fall. The sec-ond inside linebacker position is highly contested between Akaki Ramishvili, Joshua Turner and Moses White who will all be competing for quality playing time.

The outside linebacker position is one of the deepest positions on the team, if one exists. Robert Hill, Brian LaSure and Rich Long will all be see-ing signifi cant playing time at the two positions. Hill, a sophomore, spent

last season at Dean Junior College. LaSure will be a junior, after transfer-ring from Southern Connecticut State in the offseason. LaSure saw action in nine games during his tenure with the Owls. Long is another one-year trans-fer from Iona College. Richard Roberts and Tom Herd will also be vital parts to the outside linebacker corps, compet-ing for playing time and adding depth. Roberts played at Woodland Regional High School in Prospect, Conn., while Herd was an All-Sussex County Inter-scholastic League selection at Sparta High School (N.J.). The Chargers’ secondary will feature two second-year players at the corner positions and a group of fi ve compet-ing for playing time at the two safety positions. Desmond Anderson and Jon Jackson will be the Chargers starting cornerbacks. Anderson, a transfer from Becker College, played in nine games last season. Jackson was a team captain for the two-time state champions of Bunnell High School in Stratford, Conn. Josh Smith and Ron-nie Driesse-Darden are two outstand-ing freshmen that will also be pushing for playing time on the corners. Spear-heading the strong safety position this season will be second-year player Mike Gomes, of Brockton High School in Massachusetts. Anthony Fils, Lenroy Neysmith, David McKinnie and Tyler Parker will all compete for playing time at the free safety position this season.

SpecialistsTaking a majority of the kicking and punting responsibilities this season will be freshman Michael Herrera. Herrera, from Tamarac, Fla. was a two-time All-Broward County selection at J.P. Taravella High School. Splitting some of the place kicking duties, with Herrerea, will be junior Stephen Ward from Urbana High School in Ijamsville, Maryland.

With outstanding breakaway speed and ability to see the fi eld, wide receiver Sharieff Hall will be returning kicks for the Chargers this season. Also returning kickoffs will be quarter-back Bernard Risco.

Long snapping duties will be the responsibility of sophomore defensive back Mike Gomes and freshman of-fensive lineman Greg Waters.

ScheduleProjected to fi nish ninth in the North-east-10 Conference Preseason Poll, the Charger football program looks to improve from their preseason posi-tioning with wins over a variety of new and old opponents. The team offi cially returns to the fi eld on Saturday, Sep-tember 5, 2009 when they travel to Lincoln University (Pa.). The Lions, like the Chargers, took a 47-year hiatus before the program returned a season ago and went 1-9. Six days later the Chargers open their NE-10 schedule when they travel to Worcester, Mass. to take on Assumption College.

The Chargers home opener is in week three, when they host Bentley Univer-sity at the new DellaCamera Stadium. Homecoming will return to the West Haven campus in week four when UNH hosts Stonehill College on Saturday, September 26. On October 2 at 7 p.m. the Chargers renew their cross-town rivalry with NE-10 preseason favorites, Southern Connecticut State University at Jess Dow Field, with conference records on the line for the fi rst time in the rivalry. NE-10 preseason No. 2 American International College travels to DellaCamera Stadium the following week and New Haven takes a road trip to Merrimack College on October 17.

Pace University, St. Anselm College and a non-conference game with Ohio Dominican round out the Chargers’ fi nal three Saturdays.

NCAA DIVISION II

Life in the Balance.As a NCAA Division II institution, our emphasis for the student-athlete experience is a comprehensive program of learning and development in a personal setting. Our approach provides growth opportunities through academic achievement, learning in high-level athletic competition and development of positive societal attitudes in service to community. The balance and integration of these different areas of learning opportunity provide our student-athletes a path to graduation while cultivating a variety of skills and knowledge for life ahead.

LearningWe provide multiple opportunities to broaden knowledge and skills.

ServiceWe develop positive societal attitudes through contributions to community.

PassionWe possess enthusiastic dedication and desire in effort.

SportsmanshipWe have a respect for fairness, courtesy and ethical conduct toward others.

ResourcefulnessWe develop a versatile skill set drawn from a broad range of experiences.

BalanceWe place emphasis on collective knowledge and an integration of skills.

Why a Hexagon?The hexagon is a representation of the six attributes that defi ne the Division II experience. Those attributes are learning, passion, resourcefulness, sportsmanship, service and balance. The hexagon is an iconic symbol that can be utilized to express these attributes.

WHO ARE WE? WHAT DO WE STAND FOR?

“ As a young child growing up in Jacksonville, Florida I knew I wanted to play sports in college. Football came very natural to me and i pursued my dreams at age 7 to become a famous football player. Choosing a college was a big decision for me. I wanted to fi nd a school that fulfi lled my academic, athletic, and personal needs. The University of New Haven proved itself to be a perfect fi t for me. As a criminal justice major I was excited to hear that UNH had one of the top Criminal Justice programs in the nation, so that took care of the academic portion. With the focus being on the tradition held by the past football teams I really wanted to be apart of the rebuilding stage by joining the football team. The coaches understand the concept of being a student-athlete, but at the same time they also let me know that they want to win and they will push me to be the best player I could be to help the team win. I’m a very competitive person and having coaches that matched my level of competitiveness sealed the deal for me. With my academic needs and athletic dreams being fulfi lled I felt there wasn’t a better school out there for me. That is why I chose University of New Haven - an institution representing learning, passion, resourcefulness, sportsmanship, service, and balance. I Chose Division II.”

NORTHEAST-10 CONFERENCE

The Northeast-10 enters its 29th year as there is little surprise why the Northeast-10 Conference has continued to grow stronger year by year since it’s inception and now stands as a model conference of NCAA Division II.

The conference was built from the ground up with strong cornerstones and a vision of becoming the premier Division II NCAA athletic conference in the nation. A quick look around the league today will tell even the casual observer that the NE-10 has done so. The conference is a powerful union of strong academic and athletic colleges and universities that incorporates 16 institutions from New York and New England. The NE-10 sponsors the most championship sports of any Division II conference in the nation.

The Northeast-10 can look to a long history of successes – the growth from seven original schools to more than double its size 20 years later – the contention for and winning of national championships – the change in league structure from on-campus administration to a central governing location – the anticipation of, coping with and addition of modern technology - the recognition of student-athlete performances in the classroom where the real competitions are played out – all of them have been built thanks to the hard work and dedication through the years of thousands of people who have, at one time or another, called the Northeast-10 home for their athletics program or their livelihood.

The NE-10 history began with the vision of a few good men and women. It was back in 1979 that a handful of athletics directors realized that the world of college athletics was changing and that they, and their programs, would have to change as well.

In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s the NCAA began to emphasize the importance of conferences in organizing competition and determining bids to NCAA national tournaments. The NCAA required six teams to be recognized as a conference in order to award championships, and the creation of national tournaments with automatic qualifiers to league champions became a new goal towards which teams could strive.

The founding fathers of the NE-10 were only

happy to comply. Thus, a handful of athletic directors at smaller schools, classifi ed Division II and of similar scope, academic makeup and athletic abilities hatched the idea of a new athletics conference in New England. Therefore, on October 9, 1979, a simple press release announced that a new unnamed Division II conference was being formed. Eight months later, at the Pleasant Valley Country Club in Springfield, Mass., the league was publicly announced.

The Northeast-7 Conference established instant credibility in its membership and that credibility led to a slow but continued expansion through the years. The admittance of Saint Anselm in 1981 created the Northeast-8. In 1984, Hartford joined the ECAC Division I North Atlantic Conference but was immediately replaced by Merrimack.

The “Northeast-10” name came about when Saint Michael’s and Quinnipiac joined the league in 1987 and the conference remained stable until 1995 when Springfi eld left for Division III. The league stayed at 10 members as Le Moyne joined the league in 1996 from the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) and briefl y expanded to 11 when Pace joined in 1998 from the New York Collegiate Athletic Conference (NYCAC). Quinnipiac elevated to the Division I Northeast Conference (NEC) to again return the foundation of 10 until the last major expansion took place prior to 2001 when fi ve new schools joined the fold. Franklin Pierce, Southern New Hampshire University (formerly New Hampshire College), the University of Massachusetts Lowell and Southern Connecticut State University were joined by the College of Saint Rose.

In 2008, Bryant University departed for Division I and the University of New Haven immediately to replace Bryant in all sports, maintaining a 15 institutions in the conference.

Adelphi University, becomes the newest member of the conference this year, bringing membership to 16 full-time institutions.

November 25, 1995 - Ferris State 17, New Haven 9 The only stats that would indicate that New Haven lost this game would be the fi ve turnovers, three fumbles and two inter-ceptions. All the other statistics favored New Haven including time of possession (36:02), total yards (420 yards) and total plays (90). However, the most important stat favored the home team, a 17-9 fi nal score. Ferris State opened the scoring with a 22-yard fi eld goal by Jason Lipke. The Bulldogs boosted their lead on Chris Pulliams three-yard run, only the fourth rushing touchdown surrendered by the UNH defense in 12 games. Benny Roe’s 23-yard TD run in the third quarter gave the home team a 17-0 lead before New Haven fi nally lit its side of the scoreboard on Ron Jenkins fi ve-yard run with 9:00 remaining. Gene Adair brought the team to within one score with a 25-yard fi eld goal, making the score 17-9. New Haven had the ball inside the Ferris 20-yard line in the fi nal 2:00 but failed on a fourth-down attempt, securing the win for Ferris State.

1997November 22, 1997 - New Haven 47, Glenville State 7 The Chargers dominated play in their fi rst playoff appearance since 1995. New Haven led 27-0 at the half on touchdown receptions from Adam Roman and Ketric Barnes and a pair of touchdown runs from quarterback Cazzie Kosciolek. The lead went to 34-0 after Bill Woods caught a 29-yard touchdown pass from Kosciolek off a fake fi eld goal. Glenville State fi nally got on the board at 34-7 after a 68-yard touchdown pass to running back Byron Stevenson. Glenville State quarterback Wilkie Perez entered the game as the lead-ing passer in Division II. The Chargers limited Perez to one touchdown, while intercepting two passes. Don Highsmith ran for a career-high 212 yards on 32 carries as the Chargers racked up 271 yards rushing. UNH’s defense recovered two fumbles and intercepted two passes.

November 29, 1997 - New Haven 49, Slippery Rock 21 The second-ranked Chargers defeated No. 7 Slippery Rock 49-21 to advance to the semifi nals for only the second time

in school history. UNH amassed 523 yards of total offense as wide receiver Elvert Eden caught seven passes for 205 yards and three touchdowns. Cazzie Kosciolek completed 16 of 30 passes for 333 yards and four touchdowns, while Don High-smith ran for 134 yards on 29 carries. Highsmith was the fi rst running back this season to rush for over 100 yards against Slippery Rock.

December 6, 1997 - New Haven 27, UC Davis 25 The No.2 ranked University of New Haven football team de-feated UC Davis 27-25 in the NCAA Division II national semifi -nals in front of 4,712 at the Yale Bowl. It was the fi rst semifi nal win for New Haven. “This is the greatest win in UNH history,” head coach Tony Sparano said. Davis took a 3-0 lead on a Ray Hill 31-yard fi eld goal just 3:48 into the game. New Haven’s Adam Roman, a junior wide receiver from Laguna Hills, Calif., scored the next three touch-downs to give the Chargers a 21-3 lead. Roman, who fi nished the day with six catches for 96 yards, scored on an receptions of eight and 65 yards, then returned a punt 82 yards for his third touchdown. Davis (9-5) dominated the statistics, led by junior quarterback Kevin Daft who completed 43 of 64 passes for 468 yards (all school and DII playoff records) and three touchdowns. The Aggies totaled 575 yards of total offense, but committed four turnovers. With :23 left in the game, Daft completed a 1-yard pass to Wes Terrell on a 4th and two. Terrell was stopped just short of the fi rst down by Dennis Burney and Jason Pacourek (Sr., Yorba Linda, Calif.). New Haven quarterback Cazzie Kosciolek completed 11 of 26 passes for 161 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Don Highsmith rushed for 105 yards on 20 carries and a touch-down. It was the fi fth straight game Highsmith rushed for 100 yards or more.

December 13, 1997 - Northern Colorado 51, New Haven 0 UNH was the fi rst school from Connecticut to play in a college football title game and was the smallest school enrollment wise to ever play for the DII football title. New Haven won the coin toss and elected to kick off. The Chargers stopped Northern Colorado on their fi rst three plays, setting up a 4th and 2 from the UNC 36. Dirk Johnson faked a punt and ran 39 yards. Two plays later, Corte McGuffey con-nected with Dillon Micus on a 20-yard touchdown pass. It was only the second time all season that an opponent had scored fi rst against New Haven. Northern Colorado sacked Cazzie Kosciolek seven times, the most sacks UNH had allowed all season.

UNH HALL OF FAME MEMBERS

Anthony Mortali • Linebacker (1973-1976)Tony Mortali was the type of player that every coach would want on his squad. He was hard working willing and able to give the team his all. An intregal part of the football team’s fi rst ever varsity win, 13-7 in 1975 vs. Curry College, the linebacker/offensive guard was one of the unsung heroes of the sports fi rst few years of varsity status. His efforts on the gridiron were rewarded though, as he captained the team for two seasons, including the year the UNH team notched its fi rst victory. That same season, Tony was named All New England Football Conference team.

Inducted 1987

Miles McPherson • Defensive Back (1978-81)One of the fi nest defensive backs to play at New Haven, Miles McPherson recorded impressive numbers during his four year career. At one time he held 15 school records and still holds all the intercep-tion records - in a game (4), in a season (7), which he accomplished twice, and in a career (22). He was named to the All New England Conference First Team, New England Football Writers’ Association Division II-III team, Boston Herald III team. McPherson became the fi rst Charger to be drafted into the National Football League. He was taken as a 10th round pick by the Los Angeles Rams. He signed with the San Diego Chargers where he played from 1982 to 1985.

Inducted 1989

Rick Racioppi • Linebacker (1981-84)Rick Racioppi is considered to be one of the fi nest linebackers to wear a Charger uniform. The linebacker averaged 12.3 tackles per game during his sophomore season and 9.5 tackles per contest over his career. He surpassed 100 tackles in three different seasons, highlighted by a career-high 123 stops in 1982. Racioppi never missed a game during his four-year stay, playing in all 40 UNH contests. When he graduated, Racioppi held the single season and career records for both recovered fumbles and total tackles. He was named to the All-New England team in 1983, one of only three Chargers to earn those honors that season. He ended his career with 379 total tackles, including 210 solo stops, and four sacks.

Inducted 1992

Erik Lesinski • Linebacker (1984-87)Erik Lesinski can be rated as one of the best all-around players in New Haven football history. His career totals are among the best in school history, including 422 total tackles, 242 solo tackles and seven sacks. He was named to the All-New England and All-Eastern College Athletic Conference teams in 1986 and 1987. The linebacker became the third UNH football player to receive a Kodak All-America berth, earning the honor in his senior season, and was also a All-America honorable mention as a junior. In 1987, Lesinski registered 10 or more tackles in every contest with his best game of 21 tackles coming against Springfi eld.

Inducted 1992

Paul Bowman • Offensive Lineman (1975-78)Paul Bowman played an instrumental part in the Chargers early success. He was elected a tri-captain of the 1978 team which posted a 6-3 record, the fi rst winning record in the school’s young history. Bowman’s playing style and skills grabbed the attention of both players and coaches despite playing a position which rarely received recognition. His play on the offensive line helped the offense score 188 points, the highest production in school history to that point which allowed the squad to post a 5-0 start. During his career, Bowman played a major role in the Charger’s success as the team won 12 games, scored 362 points and gained over 7,800 total yards, statistics no other class could claim.

Inducted 1993

Stephen DiMugno • Defensive Back (1971-74)Stephen Di Mugno was a true pioneer for the University of New Haven football program. He joined the team before football was a varsity sport and earned All-Eastern Collegiate Club Football Conference honors as a defensive back.

Deborah Chin, Director of Athletics, University of New Haven

Steven H. Kaplan, Ph.D. President, University of New Haven Steven Kaplan, Ph.D., became the 6th president of the University of New Haven on July 1, 2004. Dr. Kaplan joined a then nearly 85-year-old institution dedicated to real-life learning and career-focused higher education. With enrollment of 4500 undergraduate and graduate students representing more

than 25 states and some 70 countries, UNH has several nationally ranked programs in a number of majors in business, engineering, public safety, and the liberal arts and sciences. Dr. Kaplan was presented to the community in March 2004 by then-Board of Governors Chairman Robert Alvine, who characterized the then president-designate as energetic, well-liked and respected, focused and remarkably effective in mobilizing an institution’s resources to achieve target results. His highest priorities for early action are strengthening the university’s endowment, growing enrollment to optimum levels, and engendering an atmosphere for excellence among all constituencies. In the fi rst months of his presidency he focused on establishing strong relationships with members and organizations within UNH’s circle of constituents – faculty, students, administrators, alumni, friends, campus neighbors and leaders of Connecticut’s business and public service communities. Within weeks of his arrival in Connecticut, an anonymous donor made a $500,000 cash gift signifying his delight in the University’s new leadership.

As president, he oversees a faculty of nearly 400 persons, 530 staff personnel and an annual budget of $65 million. Previously, Dr. Kaplan was chancellor and professor of English at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise, Virginia, 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. Dr. Kaplan also served as dean of Arts and Humanities at SUNY College at Buffalo, an institution with about 11,000 students; and as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and acting provost at Butler University, an independent comprehensive institution of fi ve colleges and 3,400 students, which is ranked by U. S. News & World Report as one of the top ten regional universities in the Midwest. He completed his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature at Eberhard-Karls Universität in Germany and holds the Master of Arts degree (with a concentration in philosophy, German, and English), also from Eberhard-Karls Universitat. He earned his Bachelor

of Arts degree from the University of California at Los Angeles. Dr. Kaplan is the author of a book on American translations of the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke, a number of scholarly essays, a book on Tim O’Brien’s fi ction with the University of South Carolina Press, and an anthology of international war stories with the University Press of Colorado. Dr. Kaplan and his wife, Anemone Schweizer-Kaplan, are both ardent opera buffs and love to ballroom dance, hike, and downhill ski. They share a great love for the visual and performing arts and have traveled to over twenty-fi ve countries in twenty-fi ve years, including Tanzania where they hiked up Mt. Kilimanjaro. They have a son and three daughters. Dr. Kaplan grew up in Chicago, the son of a shoe store owner and an actress-comedienne. His father, he said, taught him to love ideas and appreciate the contributions we all need to make to good causes. He was a good friend of Oskar Schindler, was instrumental in getting the story out in book and fi lm form (associate producer of the fi lm), and is the President of the Oskar Schindler Humanitarian Foundation. Dr. Kaplan also serves on the board of the foundation. His wife grew up in Southwest Germany. She holds the equivalent of an American M.A. in Secondary Education and taught at a German high school. She is a ceramics artist and taught German and pottery during their time in Wise.

Deborah Chin became the school’s fourth director o f a t h l e t i c s i n 19 9 3 , and currently oversees a department which sponsors 17 NCAA Division II varsity sports. She was elected to the prestigious position of Chair for the NCAA’s Division II Management Council for 2008.

UNH Athletics has enjoyed a high level of success across the board during Chin’s tenure as Director of Athletics, advancing to NCAA tournament play 50 times in 14-plus years. UNH has recently made a number of capital improvements to athletic and recreational facilities, including the construction of the multi-million dollar David A. Beckerman Student Recreation Center, a $1.3 million synthetic turf renovation of Kayo Field (soccer and lacrosse), as well as installation of state-of-the-art blue and yellow synthetic turf at the new Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. Chin spearheaded efforts to re-instate football as a varsity program and fi nd UNH a new athletics conference that best fi ts the institution’s long-term academic and athletic aspirations. Both goals were accomplished when UNH announced on November 13, 2007 that it had been accepted as a full member of the prestigious Northeast-10 Conference, effective the 2008-09 academic year. The Charger football team will return to the gridiron for the 2009 season.

A member of the University of New Haven staff since 1975, Chin began her UNH career as Coordinator of Women’s Athletics. She was responsible for starting the women’s intercollegiate athletic program at UNH, coaching volleyball, tennis, basketball and softball in the early years. Chin eventually surrendered all head coaching responsibilities, except volleyball, when she was promoted to Associate Director of Athletics in 1979.

Among her numerous honors, Chin was named the NACWAA NCAA Division II Administrator of the Year in 2009 after serving as the D-II Management Council Chair. In 2007, the Connecticut Sportswriters’ Alliance presented Chin with the Gold Key Award, the state’s top sporting honor which recognizes significant contributions to athletics in the State of Connecticut. Chin won the NACDA/Continental Airlines Athletic Director of the Year for the Northeast Region in 1998-99 and was awarded the NACWAA Josten’s District I Administrator of the Year Award in 1997. Chin won the National Association for Girls and Women in Sports Presidential Award in March 1997 and was the Connecticut Post Woman of the Year in 1993. Chin has also earned the U.S. Volleyball Association Meritorious Service Award and the YMCA Women in Leadership Award.

As head women’s volleyball coach, Chin fashioned a Hall of Fame resume - literally - earning induction into the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Hall of Fame in December, 2006. Chin is also a member of the Connecticut Volleyball Hall of Fame (Inducted October, 1998), the Connecticut Women’s

Basketball Hall of Fame (April, 1999), and the Athletics Hall of Fame at her alma mater, SUNY-Cortland.

In a 19-year career (1975-93) as head coach for the Chargers, she posted a 578-179 record (.764) and was at that time only the fi fth Division II coach to win 500 career matches. The Chargers made 10 trips to the NCAA tournament during Chin’s reign, reaching the top fi ve four times. Her awards include six AVCA Northeast Region Coach of the Year distinctions as well as eight New England Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year honors. Chin coached the Chargers to twelve 30-win seasons, including six straight. She is also recognized internationally as a top volleyball clinician.

As an administrator, Chin has served on over 30 national and regional committees. In addition to her most recent position as Chair of the Division II Management Council, her resume includes terms as chairperson for the NCAA Division II Volleyball Committee (1988-92), the NCAA Division II Baseball Committee (1997-2001), the NCAA Northeast Regional Football Committee (1999-2003), and the NACDA John McLendon Minority Scholarship Committee (1999-present). She served four years on the NACWAA Board of Directors (1993-96), and acted as the Volleyball Commissioner for the 1995 Special Olympics World Games held in New Haven.
