J oseph J. Morrone Stadium, with its seating capacity of just under 4,500 and a natural grass playing surface, is one of the fi nest college soccer facilities in the nation. The natural grass playing surface measures 75 by 120 yards, the maximum dimensions for a collegiate soccer fi eld.

The stadium has undergone major improvements over the past several years. This new-look Stadium has been funded by both state monies and by private contributions through the UConn Friends of Soccer support organization. The latest part of the new-look to Morrone Stadium are its visual enhancements which provide recognition of historical team and individual achievements. These enhancements are panels that have been placed in each end zone as well as on the front side of the press box.

Prior to the 2010 additions, Morrone Stadium’s last feature added was a full fi eld lighting system, installed right before the 2000 soccer season.

The addition of lights to Morrone Stadium was a tremendous boost to the soccer program. The facility is one of the top collegiate sites in the nation and the ability to play matches under the lights means the national-level soccer program has a national-level, state-of-the-art home surface, day and night. In addition, the matches played under the lights create an enjoyable atmosphere which can involve the entire soccer community and generate a positive effect on home game attendance.

The enhancements over the years at Morrone Stadium include: a state-of-the-art scoreboard and message center; aluminum bleachers; replacement of the natural grass surface, with new grass and an irrigation and automatic watering system installed; and one of the top press boxes in the country.

The fully enclosed and heated aluminum-sided press box measures 120 feet. It includes a 60-foot midsection for working media, rooms for television and home and visiting radio, an enclosed upper camera deck, and special hospitality areas for guests. Additionally, television monitors are positioned throughout the press box for viewing the game action below.

On April 11, 1997, the University of Connecticut Board of Trustees approved the naming of the Connecticut Soccer Stadium as the Joseph J. Morrone Stadium.

The naming of the stadium enables the Division of Athletics to recognize the signifi cant contributions that Joe Morrone has made to the growth of soccer on all levels, but more specifi cally at the University of Connecticut.

Coach Morrone retired as head coach of men’s soccer at Connecticut following the 1996 season. In 28 years directing the UConn program, Morrone compiled an overall record of 358-178-53, and in 39 years as a collegiate head soccer coach he compiled a 422-199-64 record, ranking him as one of only four collegiate soccer coaches with more than 400 career victories. In 1981, he led Connecticut to the NCAA Division I National Championship.

HEAD COACH LEN TSANTIRIS

Head coach Len Tsantiris embarks on his 30th year as the head coach of the women’s soccer program at Connecticut. Under his leadership, UConn advanced to 26 consecutive NCAA National Tournaments from 1982-2007, including four visits to the NCAA Championship Game in 1984, 1990, 1997 and 2003. During his tenure, Tsantiris has created a women’s soccer program that has received national attention for the team’s successes on and off the fi eld.

In his 29 seasons in charge of the UConn women’s soccer program, Tsantiris has compiled an outstanding 474-145-43 record and is only the second women’s soccer coach to record over 450 wins.

In 2009, the Huskies made their return to the NCAA Tournament. UConn fi n-ished their regular season with a 10-7-1 record going 9-1-1 at home in Morrone Stadium. Under Tsantiris’ direction, in the fi rst game of the NCAA Tournament, a double-overtime game winner by Brittany Taylor handed the Huskies the 500th program win and Tsantiris his 474th career victory.

Under Tsantiris’ direction in 2008, a young squad returned to the BIG EAST Championship match for the fi rst time since 2005. After starting the season slowly, the team rallied back earning some key road victories which helped the Huskies into the BIG EAST tournament for the 15th time in program history. During the BIG EAST Championship game, the Huskies forced overtime with the nationally ranked No. 1 Notre Dame shutting the Fighting Irish out in regula-tion, the only team to do so during the 2008 season. The Huskies fell during the overtime period ending their season prior to the NCAA tournament for the fi rst time in the school’s history.

The 2007 Huskies advanced to the NCAA quarterfi nals for the fi rst time since 2003. It was their 26th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The team fi nished with a 14-6-2 overall record, 8-2-1 in the BIG EAST. UConn ad-vanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament on penalty kicks after playing to a 0-0 tie with Boston College. They then defeated Wake Forest 1-0 two days later in the second round. The following weekend they went across the country to defeat top seeded Stanford 2-0 in the third round. Traveling again in the quarterfi nals, the Huskies led Florida State 2-1 with eight minutes to go before the Seminoles were able to score the tying goal. Florida State then won the game with a goal in the second overtime. During the course of the regular season, UConn shut out their opponents 11 times and allowed only 14 goals, the fewest they’ve allowed since giving up 12 in 1998.

The 2006 Huskies earned a berth in their 25th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance after fi nishing the season with an 11-7-4 overall record, 7-3-1 in the BIG EAST. UConn reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament, post-ing an 1-1 tie against top-seeded Texas. The Longhorns, however, advanced to the next round after winning in penalty kicks. In an early season tournament, the Huskies nearly defeated eventual national champion North Carolina. In that game, UConn took a 2-0 lead into halftime, handing the Tar Heels their fi rst two-goal halftime defi cit since October 18, 1999. Later in the year, UConn played to a 0-0 draw with national runner-up Notre Dame at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium. The scoreless draw marked the fi rst time an opponent had held Notre Dame without a goal since October 22, 2004. The tie would be the only blemish on the Notre Dame record until falling to North Carolina in the national championship game.

In 2005, the Huskies advanced to their 24th consecutive NCAA tournament ap-pearance and earned a BIG EAST divisional regular season championship. The team held a 10-game unbeaten streak from Sept. 9 through Oct. 9 and posted a 15-5-2 overall record. In BIG EAST play, the Huskies fi nished 10-1.

The 2004 Huskies had a remarkable run through the season and fi nished with an 18-7-1 overall record. UConn maintained a nine-game winning streak, a sev-en-game shutout streak in the middle of the season and captured their second BIG EAST Tournament Championship by beating Notre Dame. The Huskies advanced to the third round of the NCAA tournament before being knocked out

by Notre Dame, who went on to win the 2004 National Championship.

In 2003, UConn fi nished the season with an impressive 15-6-3 overall record. They won the Northern Division BIG EAST title and advanced to the NCAA tour-nament, fi ghting their way into the fi nals of the College Cup tournament. In the fi rst two rounds, the Huskies faced local rivals Boston University and Central Connecticut. In the third round, the Huskies dominated Michigan with a 5-0 vic-tory to advance to the quarterfi nals against BYU. After beating the Cougars, 3-1, the Huskies went on to defeat Florida State 2-0 in the semifi nals to advance to their fourth NCAA title game against North Carolina.

The Huskies won their fi rst-ever BIG EAST Tournament Championship in 2002, as they also claimed the regular season Northeast Division title. UConn made their 21st consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament, being tabbed the fourth seed in the 64-team bracket. The team bowed out in the NCAA quarterfi -nals, ending the season at the hands of Penn State in a 2-1 loss. The Huskies compiled a 21-3-1 record for the year.

The 2001 season added another winning effort to Tsantiris’ resume, as the Hus-kies fi nished 18-6-0 overall and captured their third straight BIG EAST Northeast Division title. In addition to leading the team to its 20th straight NCAA Tour-nament appearance, Tsantiris became only the second women’s soccer head coach to win 350 games in his career.

In 2000, the team was nationally-ranked for the majority of the season, compil-ing an overall record of 17-7-2, and 5-0 in the BIG EAST. The Huskies were

crowned the BIG EAST Northeast Division Cham-pions and earned a berth to the NCAA Tournament. After upsetting No. 2 Nebraska in the Sweet 16 of the tournament, Connecticut advanced to the Elite Eight for the eighth straight season, the 15th time under Tsantiris.

The 1999 season was another in a long line of highly successful campaigns for Tsantiris and the UConn women’s soccer program. The Huskies won the BIG EAST Northeast Division title and advanced to the NCAA quarterfi nals for the seventh consecutive season.

The Huskies won the BIG EAST Conference regular season championship in 1998 with a 10-0-1 record and Tsantiris was honored as the BIG EAST Coach of the Year. He also posted his 300th career win dur-ing the season and UConn concluded the overall year 21-2-2, advancing to the NCAA quarterfi nals.

In 1997, Tsantiris fi elded one of his best teams ever as the Huskies posted a single-season school re-cord 23 wins en route to an overall record of 23-4-0. Connecticut won four NCAA contests and advanced to the NCAA Division I National Championship game for the third time. For his efforts, Tsantiris was named the 1997 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Division I Women’s National Coach of the Year.

As the architect of the Connecticut women’s soccer program, Tsantiris has also been honored as the NCAA Division I Northeast Coach of the Year four times (1983, 1987, 1995 and 1996) and BIG EAST Coach of the Year in 1995 and 1998.

In 1981, Tsantiris, a highly successful scholastic soccer coach, took over the reigns of the women’s soccer program at Connecticut, his alma mater. Go-ing into the 2008 season, the Tsantiris-led Huskies have averaged 16.9 wins per season.

During his 29-year tenure, the Huskies have ad-vanced to the NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Na-tional Championship Tournament 27 times. Since the fi rst NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Cham-pionship in 1982, Connecticut and North Carolina were the only two schools to have been invited to every national tournament until the Huskies’ streak ended last season.

The 26 consecutive NCAA appearances under Tsan-tiris have resulted in an impressive three consecu-tive national championship semifi nal appearances in 1982, 1983 and 1984 and four more semifi nal ap-pearances in 1990, 1994, 1997 and 2003. The Hus-kies were NCAA Tournament runners-up in 1984, 1990, 1997 and again in 2003. In addition to its sev-en NCAA national semifi nal appearances, UConn advanced to the NCAA quarterfi nals in 1986, 1987, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007.

Both Tsantiris’ 1982 and 1983 Connecticut squads completed the regular season with undefeated re-cords and the No. 1 ranking in the fi nal NCAA Na-tional Top 20 poll, earning the top seed in their re-spective NCAA national tournaments.

In 1982, the Huskies went 14-0-1 in regular season play while the 1983 squad fashioned an 18-0-1 re-cord at the end of the regular season and fi nished the season with a then school-record 19 wins (19-2-1).

In 1983, Tsantiris was awarded the Jorgensen Award, which is given by the UConn Alumni Asso-ciation to an alumnus who has made outstanding contributions to the improvement of intercollegiate athletics at UConn.

Tsantiris holds an “A” coaching license from the United States Soccer Federation and serves on nu-merous soccer boards and organizations.

Tsantiris is also a member of the Connecticut Soc-cer Ambassadors, a statewide organization created to promote soccer at all levels. In October of 1989, Tsantiris received an award from the Connecticut Soccer Ambassadors in recognition of outstanding contributions to the development of women’s soccer in the state of Connecticut.

Success followed Tsantiris to Connecticut in 1981 after a four-year stint as girls’ head soccer coach at E.O. Smith High School in Storrs, Conn. While at E.O. Smith, his Panthers captured three straight state championships. The Panthers also set a Con-necticut state record for most consecutive games without a loss (56) while out-scoring their opposition by an incredible 254-18 margin over a three-season span.

A 1977 UConn graduate with a B.S. in physical education, Tsantiris was a varsity soccer forward under former men’s soccer mentor Joe Morrone. A four-year letterwinner, Tsantiris received All-New England and All-Yankee Conference honors. During those four seasons, the Husky squad qualifi ed for the NCAA national tournament three times, advanc-ing to the Final Eight in 1971 and 1974 and to the Final Sixteen in 1975.

Upon graduation from UConn, Tsantiris played pro-fessional soccer with the Connecticut Yankees in the former American Soccer League.

During the summer months, Tsantiris serves as the director of the Pioneer Girls’ Soccer School at the University of Connecticut. He and his wife, Susan, reside in West Hartford, with their son Chris, 24; and daughters: Tina, 22, and Kathy, 19.

CURRENT PLAYERS ON UCONN

“When I was younger, I remember going to a UConn women’s soccer game and now I get to be a part of that. I chose UConn not only for its soccer reputa-tion, but also for its competitive academics. I love the athletic atmosphere on campus. I couldn’t be happier with the group of girls and coaches I get to play for.

“UConn has a great tradition of being one of the top programs in the country. I knew that coming on my visit. I wanted to be a part of that and have the privilege to play for this school. The academic side of UConn is also well-known. It is the top-ranked public school in New England. The university’s caliber for both the academic and athletic side lured me here. I am proud to be a Husky and will always be!” - Annie Yi, 2010 Graduate Student

“I chose UConn because I knew it had the resources to help me succeed as a student-athlete. The coach-ing staff and players made me feel welcome and cre-ated a comfortable environment for me. UConn has a long tradition of winning and making it to the NCAA Tournament and I wanted to be a part of that tradition. After visiting many other schools, my heart told me to go to UConn.”

- Kacey Richards, 2010 Senior

“I chose UConn not only for their top-ranked soccer program, but for being a top-ranked academic school as well. UConn has a long-rooted winning tradi-tion and I wanted to become a Husky and be part of that tradition.”

“Moving to the U.S. and studying and playing soccer was an option for me for many years. After some research about UConn, I realized that it might be the best school for me. The more I learned about it, the more convinced I was. During my visit to UConn, I was impressed by both its athletics and academics and finally knew that I wanted to join the program.”- Linda Ruutu, 2010 Sophomore

Alumni on UConn...Alumni on UConn...“I chose UConn because I wanted to win a national championship. For me it was about fi nding the right fi t of coaching with the right group of players, and UConn has proven to have both. You can pull all the stats and the records and the ac-complishments of other top teams, but when the decision needed to be made it wasn’t about numbers at all. The decision for me was about the atmosphere, the players and the support which gave me a sense of home for the next four years. I wanted to have a team that I felt would be there battling next to me on the fi eld, and when it was all said and done, still be at my side as we move on from this journey. UConn has given me that and more.”- Meghan Schnur, 2007 Senior & BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year

MEGHAN SCHNUR

“My desire to play at the highest level of collegiate com-petition is what attracted me to UConn. Their soccer program’s high national ranking was appealing, but even more impressive was the strong tradition and the high level of expectation. I was positive that my talents would be maximized through the competition from my teammates, the strength of the opponents, and the guidance of Coach Tsantiris. Playing for a national championship was a thrill of a lifetime.”

- Wendy Logan (1988-1991)

WENDY LOGAN

“For me, the decision to attend UConn was an easy one. After visiting many differ-ent schools and meeting several coaches, it became clear to me that the coaches at UConn were special. As Coach Tsantiris sat in my living room and talked with my family and me, there was something about him that let me know he really cared about me and wanted what was best for me. After making my decision to attend UConn, I saw nothing less than that. Growing up, I played in the National Pool with many talented players who also went to great programs, many of whom did not play right away. Coach Tsantiris gave me a chance and constantly showed his confi dence in me. That is why I was able to be successful and enjoy playing in college. Playing at UConn was the best experience I have had and it would not have been possible without the coaches. I am truly grateful for the opportunity and the relationships I have gained, which will last a lifetime.”- Kristen Graczyk (2001-2004)

KRISTEN GRACZYK

“There are several different reasons why I chose UConn. I love the school itself, the size of it, how the campus is set up and, of course, the academic and soccer aspects - the coaches, the players, the facilities, everything! When I made my recruiting trip, I stayed with four older players in the apartments, saw the team play two games and practice and saw the men’s team play. I loved watching them play and loved how they played. But most importantly, I felt so com-fortable that I already felt a part of everything. I had a feeling that this was going to be the right place for me. After the recruiting trip was over and I left for home, as soon as we got in the car, I told my parents that this is where I was going. I canceled my other recruiting trips and I chose UConn.”- Brittany Taylor, (2005-2009)

The 2010 Connecticut Huskies enter the season as a uni-fi ed, confi dent and focused team laden with experience and skill. UConn will welcome a crop of excellent newcomers highlighted by midfi elders Devin Prendergast (Babylon, N.Y.) and Jennifer Skogerboe (Leesburg, Va.) along with a Division II All-American forward in transfer Angelika Johansson (Falkenberg, Sweden). With a nationally renowned coaching staff led by Coach Len Tsantiris and an offensive arsenal that returns 90-percent of the scoring from last year, UConn is poised to make a run into the winter months of postseason soccer. While the loss of the graduating seniors will need to be accounted for, particularly the graduation of Brittany Taylor - two-time BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year and the sixth over-all selection in the Women’s Professional Soccer League draft this past year - Connecticut returns 20 players who saw action in 2009. Of those 20 players, nine found the back of the net, fuel-ing the third-most potent offense in the league last season as the Huskies generated 1.52 goals per game. With one of the most dangerous eleven in the BIG EAST, UConn will be in search of ways to tighten up a defense that allowed 1.18 goals per game en route towards a fi fth-place fi nish in the American Division. The loss of Taylor and center back Lauren Ebert will provide the opportunity for underclassmen to establish themselves on the back line. UConn will also welcome back 2008’s leading scorer in graduate student Annie Yi (Indianapolis, Ind.). Yi suffered a season-ending injury during preseason in 2009. She fi nished the 2008 campaign with 13 points on six goals and one assist.

FORWARDS The 2009 Husky forwards were a constant threat on the pitch. The 2010 version looks to improve on their of-fensive prowess of a year ago. The strikers were led in 2009 by current junior Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec). Busque fi nished 2009 with six goals and a team-high six assists for 18 points. She came through when it mattered as a sophomore, netting four game-winning goals. Busque’s season was highlighted by a stretch of fi ve straight games with a point based on three goals and three assists. If she can replicate that form throughout the 2010 season, she will undoubtedly be at the top of the scoring leaders. Senior Erin Clark (Somers, Conn.) fi nished last season with two goals and four assists for eight points. Clark put home the game winner against No. 8 Wake Forest in Storrs on September 13. The spark off the bench in 2009 came from current junior Jessica Shufelt (Rochester, N.Y.). Shufelt started only fi ve games as a sophomore but managed to rank third on the team with 10 points on three goals and four assists. Rounding out the returning forwards are senior Cory Bildstein (Stockton, N.J.), juniors Alexandra Garufi (Milton, Mass.) and Samantha Kelley (Simsbury, Conn.) and sophomore Hillary Lackman (Willington, Conn.). Bildstein played in nine games last year while Lackman saw action in four. Garufi and Kelley each played in two games in 2009. Garufi made the most of her playing time as a junior, netting a goal in only eight minutes of action. Kelley will be another option up front in 2010. She is poised with her back to pres-sure and possesses good strength on the ball. Tsantiris and his staff added a trio of forwards to this year’s squad. The Huskies expect all three to contribute this year, led by graduate student Angelika Johansson. Johansson transferred to UConn after a stellar career at Division II Franklin Pierce University in which she was named a Daktronics and NSCAA Third-Team All-American in 2009 after scor-ing 20 goals. In 2008, Johansson was named a NSCAA First-Team All-American and the East Region Player of the Year for her 29-goal season. Amanda Carvalho (Cheshire, Conn.) and Jessica Frech (Bethesda, Md.) will both bring added fi repower to the front line. Carvalho set the Cheshire High School record with 33 goals in a season as a senior and is a transfer from UMass while Frech is a three-time member of the 1992 Maryland ODP Regional Championship team.

MIDFIELD With the return of graduate student Annie Yi, Tsantiris and the Huskies have the enviable problem of too many tal-ented players in a loaded midfi eld. Seniors Meghan Cunningham (Simsbury, Conn.), Elise Fugowski (Stockholm, N.J.) and Becky Gundling (Farmington, Conn.) combined with sophomore Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland) to form a formative midfi eld throughout the season. Ruutu immediately established herself as a force in the BIG EAST. She fi nished the year as UConn’s leading scorer with eight goals and four assists for 20 points. For her efforts, she was named a Second-Team All-BIG EAST selection and a member of the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team. Fugowski started all 21 games last season as an attacking midfi elder. She fi nished the year with six points on two goals and two assists. After back-to-back seasons

with six points, Fugowski will look to make another consistent impact in her fi nal season as a Husky. Gundling started 20 of 21 games this past season as the team’s primary holding midfi elder. She was named to the NEWISA All-New England Second Team as a junior. Cunningham fi nished the season tied for third on the scoring charts with three goals, including the game winner in a 2-1 victory at DePaul on October 18. Yi will look to reestablish herself as a dominant player in the middle in her fi nal season of collegiate action. She fi nished 2008 with a team-leading six goals and one assist in 22 games as a junior. Sophomore Georgina Giddings (Feltham, England) will also look to earn time as a returning midfi elder. Giddings has solid technical ability and is an excellent striker of the ball. She fi nished 2009 with two goals and two assists in 18 games. Joining the Huskies this season is a group of three players including a transfer from Siena College, sophomore Michelle Baj (South Windsor, Conn.). Joining Baj are freshmen Devin Prendergast and Jennifer Skogerboe. Prender-gast is the reigning Long Island Player of the Year and was named All-State in her sophomore and senior seasons. Pren-dergast was a standout at the high school and club level with the versatility to impact both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. Skogerboe was named to the Virginia High School All-District and All-Region Teams as a senior and has been a member of the Region I Olympic Development Team from 2006-2009. Skogerboe is a very technical midfi elder with excellent vision on and off the ball.

DEFENSE Graduation hurt the back line more than any other position. The Huskies will have to make up for the loss of NSCAA All-American Brittany Taylor and starting center back Lauren Ebert. The two mainstays of the back line saw more time on the fi eld than any other players. The Huskies do have the luxury of returning NEWISA Third-Team All-New England center back Kacey Richards (Williamstown, N.J.). The junior back played in 20 games last season, starting 19. She made the move from midfi eld to defense in 2009 and made immediate contributions. Joining Richards on defense will be sophomore Danielle Dakin (Wilbraham, Mass.). Dakin started all 21 games as a freshman, registering one goal for two points. Dakin and Richards will be steady performers on the back line in 2010. The quest to fi ll the gap left by Taylor and Ebert will start with redshirt-junior Courtney Wilkinson-Maitland (Can-diac, Quebec) and redshirt-sophomore Karen Gurnon (Tolland, Conn.). Wilkinson-Maitland came on strong during the second half of last season, playing over 45 minutes in each of the last six games, including the full 90 minutes against Boston College in the NCAA Second Round. Gurnon red-shirted in 2009 after starting all 22 games as a freshman in 2008. Sophomore Courtney Lazos (Medford, N.J.) will look to earn time as a defender in 2010. The lone defender joining the Huskies in 2010 is freshman Taylor Mazursky (Castle Creek, N.Y.). Mazursky joins UConn after a successful career at Chenango High School where she set the school record with 120 goals on the way to being named All-New York on two occasions.

GOALKEEPING The Huskies saw steady play from two goalkeepers in 2009. Junior Jessica Dulski (Pittsford, N.Y.) saw the majority of the action, starting 18 of the 21 games. Prior to going down with an injury in the waning seconds of the BIG EAST First Round against Villanova, Dulski owned a 9-7-1 record with fi ve shutouts based on a 1.11 goals against average and a .810 save percentage. Follow-ing her injury, current sophomore Ally Mancino (Belle Mead, N.J.) stepped into a starting role for the NCAA First and Second Rounds. Mancino fi nished the season with one shutout and a 2-1-1 record to go along with a 1.52 goals against average. Joining the last line of defense this year is a player with international experience be-tween the posts in Leigh-Ann Jaggon (Windsor, Conn.). Jaggon was a member of the Under-20 Jamaican National Team. She was also named All-Conference at Windsor in 2006, 2007 and 2009.

WRAP UP The Huskies return a group of veterans with post-season experience primed to make a deeper run into the BIG EAST and NCAA Tournaments come November. Connecticut has a schedule laden with top-25 teams as the Huskies play seven teams ranked or receiving votes at the end of last season. With the returning players and a crop of fresh talent, the future certainly looks promis-ing for the Connecticut Huskies.

2009 Season Review2009 Season Review



The 2009 University of Connecticut Huskies reached the NCAA Tournament for the 27th time in the 28 years of tournament play. UConn fi nished the year with a respectable, yet unsatisfying, record of 11-8-2. The Huskies were nearly unbeatable at home in 2009, fi nishing the year with a 9-1-1 record and falling just once at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium in a 1-0 overtime defeat against Pitts-burgh. While the traditional home dominance continued, the play away from Morrone Stadium was less than what UConn has come to expect. Connecticut went through a stretch in which it won nine of ten games from September 5 through October 4 but lost momentum following a pair of weekend road trips that saw UConn come away with a 1-3 record. The Huskies fi nished the year 2-6-1 on the road and 0-1 at neutral sites. The Huskies were ousted in the fi rst round of the BIG EAST Tournament, falling to Villanova, 4-1, in penalty kicks following a 1-1 tie after 110 minutes. The home performances led to a birth in the NCAA Tournament where Connecticut defeated Boston University, 1-0, before falling in the second round to eventual quarterfi nalists Boston College, 2-0. The 2009 season saw the end of a terrifi c career for se-nior defender Brittany Taylor (’10). Taylor suffered a season-end-ing injury in 2008 and came back in 2009 to earn NSCAA Third-Team All-America honors. In the process, she was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year for the second time in her career while also being named to the All-BIG EAST First Team, NSCAA All-Northeast First Team and the NEWISA All-New Eng-land First Team. Taylor was selected sixth overall in this year’s Women’s Professional Soccer League draft by the Sky Blue FC. She fi nished her career with 18 goals, including nine game winners and nine assists for 45 points. She was named First-

Second and Rookie Team honors.

2009 Season Review Team All-BIG EAST all four years of her stellar career. Connecticut also saw the graduation of three other Huskies. Lauren Ebert (’10), a steady force on the backline, fi nished her career with three goals and fi ve assists for 11 points. Ebert was a four-year starter on defense who started every game as a senior, play-ing 1945 of a possible 1981 minutes. Along with Ebert and Taylor, the Husky defense saw the departure of Jessica Diakun (‘10). Diakun fi nished her career with two goals and one assist for 5 points. The fi nal de-parting senior was forward Brianna Gray (’10). Gray saw action in 18 games as a senior after hitting the fi eld 18 times combined in her fi rst three seasons in Storrs. Along with Taylor’s list of awards and honors, several other players were honored for their individual achievements and excellence. Individually, several Huskies were selected for All-Region and All-Confer-ence teams. Lauren Ebert (’10) joined current seniors Becky Gundling (Farmington, Conn.) and Kacey Rich-ards (Williamstown, N.J.) on the NEWISA All-New Eng-land Second Team. Richards would earn recognition from the BIG EAST as well for her outstanding season. She was named to the All-BIG EAST Third Team follow-ing a year in which she moved from midfi eld to defense. Joining Richards and Taylor on the BIG EAST All-Star Teams was freshman standout Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland). Ruutu had a tremendous fi rst year, leading Connecticut with eight goals and adding four assists for 20 points. She was chosen as an All-BIG EAST Second-Team selection and was named to the All-Rookie Team.



While the season failed to provide the outcome the players and coaches had visualized, there were several memorable highlights from 2009. The Huskies brought drama and upsets to this past year’s UConn Classic. In game one, UConn’s Melissa Busque provided the drama with an overtime goal in the 98th minute to lift the Huskies over Boston University, 1-0, on Friday, September 11th. On Sunday, in the fi nal game of the UConn Classic, the Huskies upset No. 8 Wake Forest in convincing fashion with a 4-2 victory over the Demon Deacons. UConn went up 3-0 in the fi rst half and current sophomore Georgina Giddings (Feltham, England) found the net twice in the game for her only two goals of the season. Senior Erin Clark (Somers, Conn.) put home the game winner with seven minutes remaining in the fi rst half. Connecticut would hand Boston University another dramatic de-feat when the two teams faced off in the NCAA First Round. After earn-ing an at-large bid to the tournament, UConn faced off against the Terriers for the second time this season. In similar fashion to their fi rst encoun-ter, the Huskies came away with a dramatic overtime victory. Neither team was able to put one on the board until UConn’s senior leader and All-American Brittany Taylor fi red a blast from 25 yards out in the 107th minute to put the Huskies into the second round against Boston College. The women’s soccer program was once again a scholastic bench-mark for the University of Connecticut Athletics Department in 2009. As a team, the Huskies were honored with a NCAA Public Recognition Award. This award is given each year to teams scoring in the top 10 percentile in each sport with their Academic Progress Rates. The Huskies also re-ceived the NSCAA 3.0 Award for accumulating a collective GPA above 3.0. At the 57th Annual UConn Club Awards Dinner, Taylor was honored as the Outstanding Senior Athlete for women’s soccer while Ebert was honored as the Outstanding Senior Scholar-Athlete for women’s soccer. The pro-gram also had 19 players earn BIG EAST All-Academic honors in 2009.

OVERALL BIG EAST CAREER



2009 GAME RECAPS

A late header by Brigham Young freshman midfi elder Carlee Payne off of a corner kick in the 86th minute of the game handed the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team their fi rst loss of the 2009 season. The Huskies fell to 0-1-0 on the year while the Cougars earned their fi rst victory in 2009 improving to 1-0-1. Brigham Young controlled much of the game outshooting the Huskies 9-6. UConn was only able to manage two shots in the fi rst half and didn’t have a shot on goal the entire game. During the second half, the Huskies brought more offense but the majority of their shots taken were blocked by the BYU defense. The Husky underclassmen took fi ve of UConn’s six shots on the day. Freshman Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland) led the offense with two shots taken, one in each half. Near the end of the game, the Cougars made some late substitutions that proved to be benefi cial as Payne reentered the game with just seven minutes remaining. Less than three minutes later, at 85:17, she headed in the game winner off of a corner kick taken by Anderson sealing the victory for BYU. UConn sophomore Jessica Dulski (Pittsford, N.Y.) got the start between the posts for the Huskies, the fi rst start of her career, making three saves.

UConn had the advantage for the majority of the game until the 79th minute when a header into the net by Christine Nairn gave the Nittany Lions the advantage they needed to hang on for the win. The Huskies struck early in the game as sophomore Jessica Shufelt (Rochester, N.Y.) put UConn ahead in the 3rd minute of play knocking in a shot to the lower right corner of the goal off of a rebound. They held the one goal advantage until the 16th minute when Danielle Toney scored her second goal of the season sending a shot through the UConn goalkeeper Jessica Dulski’s (Pittsford, N.Y.) legs off of a through ball from Katie Schoepfer. In the second half, the Nittany Lions came out fi ring once again but it was the Huskies that struck fi rst when junior forward Elise Fugowski (Stockholm, N.J.) broke away from the pack and capitalized on a through ball from senior Lauren Ebert (Hillsborough, N.J.) that split the Penn State defense. Penn State’s offense came on strong, once UConn went ahead fi ring off shot after shot until they scored the game tying goal in the 76th minute of play. Just two shots and three minutes later, PSU went ahead for the fi rst time all game and held on to that lead for the victory. Penn State outshot the Huskies 30-6 while Dulski fi nished the game with a career-high 10 saves.

Two three-point efforts by sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) and rookie Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland) helped the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team to a 3-1 victory over Harvard, Saturday. Three different Huskies scored in the victory, their fi rst of the season. The Huskies are now 25-4-2 in home openers. UConn got out to a quick lead in the fi rst half scoring two goals in a matter of fi ve minutes. Senior Lauren Ebert (Hillsborough, N.J.) scored fi rst for the Huskies netting a shot from the center of the box to the lower left hand corner of the net in the sixth minute. Senior Brittany Taylor (Campbell Hall, N.Y.) set up the play passing her free kick attempt off to Rutuu who sent a cross right to Ebert. Ebert crossed up the Harvard goalie Lauren Mann and in the process netted her fi rst goal of the season. Less than fi ve minutes later, at 10:03, the Huskies scored again when Busque netted her fi rst career goal on a header over the outstretched fi ngers of Mann. Sophomore Jessica Shufelt (Rochester, N.Y.) was there to help Busque setting up the score while Elise Fugowski (Stockholm, N.J.) also aided on the play. The Huskies continued with their strong play controlling the ball the majority of the second half. They knocked out a fl urry of shots in the 51st minute of play but Busque turned a two-man trap in the corner into a goal scoring opportunity in the 69th minute when she found an open Ruutu. Ruutu controlled the pass from Busque and chipped a shot over Mann sealing the victory for the Huskies and scoring her fi rst career goal. The three goals scored by the Huskies in this game is the most since Oct. 17, 2008 when UConn scored a season high three goals against DePaul.

Led by freshman Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland), the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team coasted to a hard fought 3-1 victory over Central Connecticut. Ruutu, who scored two goals on the night, has now recorded seven points in the last two games. The international connection was working in the win as sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) helped to set up both of Ruutu’s goals on the night. In just the 11th minute of play, junior Meghan Cunningham (Simsbury, Conn.) stole the ball away from a CCSU defender near the midfi eld and dribbled it up to the top of the box where she sent a rocket shot to the upper right corner of the goal over Central Connecticut goalie Caity Casey’s outstretched hands to give the Huskies the 1-0 lead. The goal was the fi rst since Nov. 23, 2007 for Cunningham, who’s last goal for the Huskies was the game-winner against Stanford in the third round of the 2007 NCAA tournament. Less than four minutes later, the Huskies struck again. This time Busque sent a pass from the left side of the fi eld that took one bounce in the box and was blasted into the top left side of the goal by Ruutu for her fi rst goal of the game and second on the season. Busque and Ruutu would connect again before the end of the fi rst half when in the 24th minute, Busque sent up exactly the same play that gave the Huskies the two-goal advantage. Before the end of the fi rst half, the Blue Devils would cut into the three-goal lead when they scored a goal of their own in the 27th minute. In the fi rst start of her college career, rookie Ally Mancino (Belle Mead, N.J.) earned the fi rst win of her college career making three saves in the process. This win for the Huskies also means something to assistant coach Margaret Rodriguez, as it is the fi rst time as a coach that she has beaten her twin sister Jen. The two played at UConn from 1995-98.

The international connection was back in action Friday when sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) and freshman Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland) connected for the fourth time this season to score the game-winner against Boston University. Sophomore Jessica Shufelt (Rochester, N.Y.) set up the whole play getting the ball to Ruutu who sent a cross to the center of the box where Busque tapped in the game winning goal for the second time this season. This was the fi rst overtime game for the Huskies in 2009 and the fi rst shutout recorded by a UConn goalie during the season. Sophomore Jessica Dulski (Pittsford, N.Y.) made three saves in her fi rst career shutout. Despite some even play in the second half, the Huskies outshot BU 12-5 tallying 14 total shots in regulation to the Terriers’ eight. The Huskies came out fi ring in overtime and had a few opportunities to score at the beginning of the extra time period. Busque and Shufelt had strong shots to begin the period and in the 96th minute it appeared as though junior Meghan Cunningham (Simsbury, Conn.) was going to win the game for the Huskies when she drew BU’s Reilly out of the goal but her shot didn’t have enough on it and defender Laura Schwartz was there to kick the ball away and save the game. Just a minute later, Busque knocked in the game winner for the Huskies. The goal was her second of the season.

2009 GAME RECAPS

After scoring a season high four goals, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team knocked off previously undefeated and No. 8 Wake Forest 4-2 in front of 1,735 fans in the fi nale of the UConn Classic on Sunday. The victory, was the fi rst regular season win over a top-10 ranked opponent since the Huskies recorded a 1-0 win on the road at No. 6 West Virginia on Oct. 20, 2006, their 16 shots on the day were the most shots Wake Forest has allowed this season, and the four goals doubled the number of goals Wake Forest had let up all year to their previous seven opponents. The four goals scored by UConn were the most since they recorded four against Fairfi eld in the fi nal game of the UConn Classic on September 16, 2007. In the 16th minute the Huskies made a statement when junior Meghan Cunningham headed in her second goal of the season to give the Huskies a 1-0 lead. The Huskies extended their lead to two goals in the 31st minute when freshman Georgina Giddings recorded her fi rst goal of the day and the season. Giddings started things off by sending a pass up to sophomore Jessica Shufelt who tapped it back to Giddings in the left side of the box who then sent it into the bottom left corner of the net. Just a minute later, it looked like the Deacs were going to get on the board as Marisa Park sent a shot that looked like it was going to sneak past UConn goalkeeper Jessica Dulski but a perfectly timed jump by Dulski saved the potential goal as she punched the ball up and over the net. Dulski ended the game with 10 saves which tied her career high set previously this season at Penn State. Before the end of the half, the Huskies tacked on yet another goal, this time as junior Erin Clark stripped the ball from Wake Forest’s Caitlin Farrell, dribbled it up the fi eld, juked around another Wake Forest defender and beat the Demon Deacon goalie in the middle of the box with a shot to the center of the net to earn her fi rst goal of the season. The Huskies would regain their three-goal lead as Giddings recorded her second goal of the game.

Behind the goals of senior Jessica Diakun (Glastonbury, Conn.) and junior Erin Clark (Somers, Conn.) the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team earned their 16th straight victory over Providence, Friday. This is the 22nd time that Huskies have shut out the Friars. Providence has not scored a goal against UConn since 2004 and has only scored six goals in the 28 matches between the two teams. The Huskies got on the board fi rst, for the sixth-straight game, when Diakun headed in her fi rst goal of the season in the 16th minute. Senior Brittany Taylor started the play off with a pass into the box that bounced high and was knocked in by Diakun to give the Huskies an early 1-0 lead. Before the end of the fi rst half, UConn would add another goal to the scoreboard. This time, freshman Georgina Giddings (Feltham, England) sent a cross from the left side that Clark headed into the goal to boost the Husky lead to two. This is the second-straight game that Clark has recorded a goal and the second-straight game where Giddings has tallied at least one point. The shot total was about even in the fi rst half between the two teams, but Providence piled on the shots in the second half outshooting the Huskies 19-11. UConn only had four shots on goal during the game, scoring goals on two of them. Sophomore Jess Dulski (Pittsford, N.Y.) recorded seven saves in the game, making fi ve in the second half.

On her third game-winning goal of the year sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) helped the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team to their sixth-straight win, a 1-0 decision over Yale on Sunday. The game winner came in the 67th minute for the Huskies. Junior Erin Clark (Somers, Conn.) sent a pass up to Busque who drilled a shot at the Yale goalkeeper Ayana Sumiyasu. Sumiyasu made the initial save but Busque gathered the rebound and tapped it in to put the Huskies on the board. UConn dominated the fi rst half controlling the ball for the majority of the 45 minutes. The Huskies outshot Yale 21-1 in the fi rst half but could not get anything into the goal.In the 55th minute, Busque knocked in a goal from about 1 yard out of the goal but it was taken away after a late offsides call.

Despite a strong offensive effort by the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team, a golden goal by St. John’s midfi elder Amanda Pasciolla in the fi rst overtime period handed the Huskies their fi rst BIG EAST loss of the season and ended their six-game win streak. The goal by Pasciolla was only the sixth Red Storm shot of the night and only the second shot on goal of the entire game for St. John’s. The Huskies came out fi ring in the fi rst half taking two shots on goal in the fi rst minute and a half that were saved by St. John’s goalie Kristin Russell. UConn’s shots kept coming throughout the game as sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) led the team in shots taken with six including one that clanged off the post in the 77th minute. St. John’s and UConn traded shots in the fi rst overtime period. Just a minute after junior Elise Fugowski (Stockholm, N.J.) sent a shot high over the net, Pasciolla blasted a shot of her own high over sophomore goalkeeper Jessica Dulski’s (Pittsford, N.Y.) head for the win. The Huskies dominated St. John’s in the shot column taking 17 compared to St. John’s six. The loss is the fi rst in the month of September for UConn and the fi rst overtime loss of the season.

Led by Jessica Shufelt, the No. 25/16 University of Connecticut women’s soccer team put together one of their best games of the season. The Huskies scored a season-high fi ve goals in the wet conditions, with Shufelt recording a career-high two goals on the day. Linda Ruutu started things off for the Huskies recording the fi rst goal of the game in the 27th minute of play. Erin Clark sent a pass to the right side of the box where Ruutu juked past a defender and sent a shot to the lower right corner of the goal. Nine minutes later, in the 36th minute, Shufelt put her fi rst goal on the board to boost the Husky lead to two before the end of the fi rst half. After two quick passes from Melissa Busque and Georgina Giddings (Feltham, England), Shufelt rounded up the ball and sent a long distance strike from 25 yards out that hit the bottom of the crossbar and bounced into the goal. At the beginning of the second half, the Huskies earned their fi rst penalty kick of the season. During a free kick, Busque was held by one of the Syracuse defenders in the box, drawing the foul and earning her fi rst try at a penalty kick during her collegiate career. Busque easily sent the shot past the Syracuse goalkeeper Eliza Bennett-Hattan in the 50th minute for the Huskies third goal of the game. A quick pass from Clark drew Bennett-Hattan out of the goal. Shufelt corralled the pass and took another long shot that lasered over the head of the retreating Bennett-Hattan to give the Huskies a 4-0 lead. UConn’s fi fth goal of the season came from Alex Garufi who was playing in the second game of her college career. Off of a free kick pass from Brittany Taylor near midfi eld, Garufi snagged the ball and tapped it in from the left side of the goal past a diving Bennett-Hattan to earn the fi rst goal of her career.

2009 GAME RECAPS


An early fi rst half goal by rookie Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland) was all that the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team would need en route to their 1-0 victory over BIG EAST foe Villanova in front of 1,412 people at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium. The victory was the fi rst for the Huskies over the Wildcats since the 2004 season. Ruutu scored the lone goal of the game for the Huskies just into the 14th minute of play. Sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) started things off for the Huskies dishing the ball out to Ruutu. Ruutu sent a pass to junior Erin Clark (Somers, Conn.) who fl icked it right back to Ruutu where the rookie found some space and sent a laser shot to the top of the net from about 15 yards out. This is the fourth time, in fi ve chances that Busque has connected with Ruutu on a goal during the 2009 season. It is also the second straight game that Clark and Ruutu have connected. With the goal, Ruutu becomes the team’s leading scorer in 2009 tallying her fi fth goal of the season.

A gamewinning goal by University of Connecticut sophomore Melissa Busque in the 77th minute gave the Huskies the 2-1 lead and the victory over Georgetown Sunday. The goal was Busque’s fourth gamewinner this season. UConn had a few opportunities early into the fi rst half but it wasn’t until the 38th minute that they were able to get on the board. Linda Ruutu put the Huskies on the board with some help from Elise Fugowski and Jessica Shufelt. The goal was the sixth of the season for the Husky rookie and put the Huskies up by one before the half. UConn and Georgetown were evenly matched throughout the game. The Hoyas outshot the Huskies 18-16 thanks to seven unanswered shots in the fi nal 11 minutes of play. This is the fi rst time the Huskies have been outshot since September 18 when Providence outshot them 19-11. After halftime, there was a multitude of chances for the Huskies to lengthen their lead but in the 76th minute, Georgetown tied the game up at one-all when Sara Jordan sent a laser shot that went right through the hands of Jessica Dulski. The Huskies fi red back a little more than a minute later in the 77th minute when Busque chipped the ball over the hands of the Georgetown goalkeeper Jackie DesJardin with some help from Brittany Taylor. Taylor stole the ball away from Georgetown and streaked up the fi eld dishing the ball out to Busque who corralled it and got it past DesJardin to retake the lead from Georgetown.

2009 GAME RECAPS

An insurance goal by junior Meghan Cunningham (Simsbury, Conn.) off of a penalty kick in the 81st minute turned out to be the game-winner as the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team downed DePaul 2-1 to earn their 10th victory of the season and fi fth BIG EAST win of the year. The Huskies were a mere 24 seconds away from earning their sixth shutout of the season before DePaul’s Tara Strickland got one on the board for the Blue Demons just before the end of regulation. In a slow offensive game, neither team was able to score in the fi rst half, but freshman Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland) got the Huskies on the board fi rst for the 13th time this season when she recorded a strike from 22 yards out. The goal was the eighth of the season for the rookie who leads the team in goals and points recorded. After a foul in the box by DePaul, Cunningham capitalized on her penalty kick opportunity to give the Huskies a two-goal advantage. UConn is a perfect two-for-two on the season in penalty kick chances. What looked like an insurance goal turned out to be the game winner as Strickland notched DePaul’s fi rst goal of the game, on their fi rst shot on goal of the game. But the Huskies held on for the remaining 24 seconds to earn the victory. This is the 29th time in the 31 year history of the UConn women’s soccer program that the Huskies have earned at least 10 victories in a season.

For the third-straight game between the two teams, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team and West Virginia battled to an exciting, double overtime tie. The two teams ended in a scoreless tie, Friday, in front of the 1,722 people, the second largest crowd at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium this season. With the Huskies’ tie and the Pittsburgh loss, UConn clinched their spot in the BIG EAST tournament for the 17th straight season. At the end of the fi rst, the Huskies were ahead of West Virginia in shots taken leading 8-6. In the second period, something clicked for the Mountaineers and they came out fi ring recording the fi rst 11 shots of the period before the Huskies were able to take their fi rst shot of the second half in the 73rd minute. Once the Huskies began shooting, they couldn’t be stopped. First Lauren Ebert spun around fi ring at the goal with a shot that went just left. Next, Linda Ruutu fi red a shot from about 30-yards out that was punched out by the WVU goalie Butler. Busque then sent a pass way upfi eld to Elise Fugowski who was quickly defended by three Mountaineers but dished the ball back to Busque who sent a laser shot just high of the goal. Erin Clark had a shot in the fi nal minute of play that was saved by Butler and a last second attempt by Brianna Gray was just saved sending the game into overtime. In the fi rst overtime, Jessica Dulski was drawn out of the goal a couple of times leaving a wide open net for the Mountaineers but Caroline Szwed and Megan Mischler sent their shots way high of the goal.In the second overtime period, Kacey Richards had a chance to score after a corner kick but her shot went just left of the goal. Finally, after drawing Butler out of the goal, Fugowski had another shot to score with about ten seconds left to play in the game but out of nowhere Butler dove and saved the would be game winner to seal the 0-0 tie.

In their fi nal game of the regular season, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team fell 1-0 in the fi rst overtime period to Pittsburgh in front of 1,058 people at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium. With the loss, the Huskies fi nished the year fi fth in the American Division with 16 points and will face off at Villanova in the fi rst round of the BIG EAST Tournament on Thursday, October 29 at 2 p.m. Katie Caslin recorded the gamewinner for Pittsburgh in the 94th minute of play. After the Huskies started the overtime period off strong, Pittsburgh stole the ball back and dribbled up the fi eld. Ashley Cuba, Pittsburgh’s leading scorer, dished off a pass to Liz Carroll who then fl icked a pass to Caslin in the middle of the box. Caslin reeled up and fi red blasting a shot to the upper left corner of the goal. Both teams had opportunities throughout the game to score but neither could capitalize on them in regulation. The Huskies took 22 shots on the day and 12 on goal, but the Pittsburgh goalkeeper Morie Kephart recorded 12 saves on the day to shut out the Huskies. Sophomore goalkeeper Jessica Dulski (Pittsford, N.Y.) recorded fi ve saves on the day for the Huskies but was unable to get a hand on the laser shot by Caslin.

After 110 minutes of action, the fi rst round of the BIG EAST Tournament was decided by a 4-1 penalty kick decision in favor of Villanova as the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team fell for the fi rst time in program history in the fi rst round. The Huskies had a slew of chances throughout the game to score and controlled the ball for the majority of the game but just couldn’t net the game winner in the fi rst 110 minutes.Following a fl urry in front of the Villanova net, the Huskies put pressure on the Wildcat defense and in turn made them record an own goal to tie the game up at one-apiece with 13:26 remaining in the game. This is the fi rst time this season that the Huskies have recorded a goal via the own goal and couldn’t have come at a better time for UConn.After having one of the best games in her career, sophomore Jessica Dulski (Pittsford, N.Y.) came out of the game with 36.3 seconds remaining in regulation as freshman Ally Mancino came into the game in relief of Dulski who fi nished the day with fi ve game-changing saves. The Huskies forced the overtime period with Villanova and fi nished the fi rst 90 minutes of play outshooting the Wildcats 15-14 and taking four corner kicks to Villanova’s one. Villanova was the fi rst team to get on the board just 26 seconds in to the game when the Wildcats’ leading scorer, Katie Ryan, fl icked a shot past a diving Dulski which gave Nova a very early 1-0 lead.

With a sense of urgency in her, Brittany Taylor took the ball and dribbled up the fi eld fi ring a laser of a shot at the BU goal to record her fi rst goal of the season and fi rst goal since September 21, 2007. The captain not only helped her team to the second round of the NCAA Tournament but helped to win the 500th game in the 31-year history of UConn women’s soccer. This is the second time that UConn has defeated Boston University in the fi rst round of the NCAA Tournament and now holds a 2-1 record against the Terriers. UConn now holds a 14-5-1 career record in the fi rst round of the NCAA Tournament. The two teams battled to a 0-0 tie in the fi rst half but both squads had some good chances on goal. UConn’s best chance in the fi rst half came in the 41st minute of play when Taylor came streaking up the fi eld to take a shot that looked like it went past the goal line to give the Huskies the lead. But before the entire ball could cross the plane, the BU goalkeeper Janie Reilly stopped it to keep the game knotted at one entering the second half. Sophomore Melissa Busque (St. Bruno, Quebec) had her chance in the second half. Taylor dished out a pass to Busque and after a slight miscue; the forward turned and fi red a shot on goal that was stopped by Reilly. BU responded with some pressure of their own, but were unable to get the ball near the goal thanks to the strong Husky defense. UConn brought the offense in the second overtime period after neither team was able to score in the fi rst. After a passback by junior Kacey Richards (Williamstown, N.J.), Taylor took the ball and streaked down the fi eld fi ring a shot that no one could have stopped. Richards’ assist was the fi rst of the season for the All-BIG EAST Third Team honoree. This is also the fourth straight overtime game for the Huskies. UConn registered a 0-1-2 record in their three previous games earning ties against West Virginia and Villanova. In just her second start of the season, Mancino fi nished the game with a career-high fi ve saves for the Huskies.

2009 GAME RECAPS / MEDIA INFORMATION

The tremendous success of UConn women’s soccer over the last 20-plus years has attracted a great deal of media attention to head coach Len Tsantiris and his program. The Huskies boast the largest media following of any women’s collegiate soccer program in the BIG EAST Conference, Northeast and New England regions, and quite possibly, in the nation, with no fewer than four outlets at each home contest.

Huskies on Television and RadioThe Huskies also can be seen on several television outlets in the New England area. UConn women’s soccer is regularly covered on WFSB Channel 3, WTNH Channel 8, WVIT Channel 30 and WTIC Channel 61. UConn’s 2000 BIG EAST Championship game against Notre Dame was televised live on MSG, Fox Sports New England, Sports Channel Florida and Empire Sports Network. The 2004 BIG EAST final was televised live on College Sports Television. The Huskies also have had features on PRIME/Sports, ESPN2, Worldwide Soccer, the Discovery Channel and in several news reports. In 1998, Fox Sports Net carried two Husky games, including a contest with an entire eastern seaboard television audience. UConn women’s games during the 2010 fall season will be broadcast live on WHUS-FM Radio (91.7 FM). The WHUS signal carries 60 miles from Storrs, and its broadcasts can be heard in Central Massachusetts, Vermont and Long Island.

Huskies in PrintConnecticut’s home games attract between three and six daily newspapers, two to three television stations, and one radio station to report on UConn women’s soccer. In addition to the many state daily newspapers that cover the Huskies, UConn has received print in several regional and national publications such as The New York Times, New York Newsday, The Boston Globe, USA Today, SOCCER AMERICA Magazine, Sidekicks Magazine, Soccer Digest, Soccer Junior Magazine and The Soccer News.

For the fi rst time in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team lost. The Huskies dropped a 2-0 decision to Boston College at the Newton Campus Soccer Field in front of a crowd of 600 ending their postseason run. UConn’s NCAA second round unbeaten streak was snapped in today’s game. In their fi rst 26 appearances, the Huskies posted a 12-0-1 record in the second round. The Huskies fi nish their season with an 11-8-2 record, to fi nish with an over .500 record for the 30th time in the 31 year history of the program. UConn is now 26-6-3 all time against Boston College and fall to the Eagles for the fi rst time in postseason play. The Eagles took the lead in the fi rst half at the 32nd minute. As freshman goalkeeper Ally Mancino (Belle Mead, N.J.) came out to cut off a pass by Amy Caldwell, Natalie Crutchfi eld stormed up the fi eld intercepting the pass and tapping it into the net. Crutchfi eld was about six yards out in the box and sent the ball to the lower left corner of the goal for the 1-0 lead. The Huskies were unable to get a shot off in the fi rst half of play as BC had the 9-0 advantage. UConn had their fi rst chance at a goal in the 54th minute of play. Freshman Linda Ruutu (Espoo, Finland) set up a beautiful cross from the right side that curved to the middle of the box where three Huskies were waiting. Junior Meghan Cunningham (Simsbury, Conn.) got a head on the ball and it looked like UConn had tied the game up on their fi rst shot of the game, but from nowhere Jillian Mastroianni dove to make the game changing save. The Eagles added to their lead in the 68th minute. Mancino came out to scoop up the ball when BC’s leading scorer Victoria DiMartino took a shot on goal that Mancino blocked. The ball was defl ected back out into play and with Mancino at the edge of the box, she did not have enough time to retreat as Victoria’s sister Gina DiMartino blooped a shot over everyone’s head and into the open net for the second BC goal of the game.UConn was limited to just four shots on the day, a season low, while BC took 16. Mancino fi nished the game with a career-high six saves in goal.

30TH ANNIVERSARY

Celebrating 30 Years of UConn Women’s SoccerCelebrating 30 Years of UConn Women’s Soccer

During the weekend of September 12-14, 2008, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer team celebrated its 30th anniversary as a varsity program. The celebration took place during the weekend of the 17th annual UConn Classic featuring three top-25 programs in the country as No. 1 UCLA, No. 11 Penn State, No.25 and Brown all competed.

The weekend kicked off at the UConn vs. Virginia football game at Rentschler Field on Saturday, September 13. Prior to the game, over 80 alumnae and their families gathered at a pre-game tailgate to reunite with past teammates and to meet the 2008 team and current UConn staff and administrators.

During halftime of the football game, all former UConn women soccer players in attendance were honored in front of a crowd of 40,000. Head Coach Len Tsantiris, a 1977 UConn graduate and coach of the Huskies for the past 28 years, was recognized with a 30th Anniversary poster that included pictures of every team in the history of the program. Also during the halftime ceremony, four standout former players were honored for their signifi cant contributions to the program. Sara Whalen, Felice Duffy and Moira and Tara Buckley each received a commemorative bowl to honor their excellence in a Husky uniform.

The weekend celebration continued on Sunday, September 14 as UConn hosted a brunch at the Nathan Hale Inn. The brunch included memorable speeches from Director of Athletics Jeffrey Hathaway, Head Coach Len Tsantiris and three former Huskies. Melissa Morrone Taintor, Jill Gelfenbien Laufer and Meghan Schnur each recounted stories from their days as a Husky.

The weekend culminated at the UConn vs. Penn State soccer game, with recognition of all alumni in atten-dance during halftime of the game. Overall, the weekend celebration was an amazing tribute to the women’s soccer program and was enjoyed by all.

RETIRED NUMBERS

UConn Retires Two NumbersIn the 30-year history of the Connecticut women’s soccer program, Tara Buckley (right) was the first women’s soccer player to have her number retired. Tara Buckley’s number 5 jersey was retired after her stellar four-year career at UConn ended in 1983. Buckley, who played with sister Moira, has the distinction of being the only UConn women’s soccer four-time All-America selection. Sara Whalen (left) is the only other Husky to have her jersey retired.

Sara Whalen• 1997 HONDA AWARD WINNER

• 1997 NSCAA NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEARIn 1997, University of Connecticut three-time women’s soccer All-American Sara Whalen was named the Women’s Soccer National Player of the Year by the Honda Awards Program and was selected as the 1997 National Soccer Coaches Association National Player of the Year. Whalen was one of 11 finalists for the Honda Cup Broderick Trophy awarded to the female collegiate Athlete of the Year.

Whalen led the 1997 UConn women’s soccer team to a single-season school record 23 wins and a spot in the NCAA Division I National Championship game. Connecticut concluded the 1997 season with an overall record of 23-4. The National Player of the Year honor for Whalen, as awarded by Honda, marked the first time a UConn women’s soccer star had received the award.

Whalen, who hails from Greenlawn, N.Y., led Connecticut with 64 points (21 goals, 22 assists) on the year, second best in the nation. Her 22 assists also ranked second in the country for that category. Early in the 1997 season, Whalen made the transition from her more traditional post in the UConn defense (where she was selected a two-time First-Team All-American at back) to a new post in the UConn offense as a forward. The move paid dividends for Connecticut as Whalen had both goals in UConn’s 2-1 National Semifinal upset win over previously unbeaten Notre Dame, advancing UConn to the National Championship game. Connecticut fell to North Carolina 2-0 in the NCAA Championship game. In 1997, Whalen was tabbed First Team All-American as a forward, marking the third consecutive season she was a First-Team All-America selection. Among her accom-plishments in 1997, Whalen was named Soccer America Magazine’s National Player of the Year, the Connecticut Sportswriters’ Alliance Female Athlete of the Year, a First-Team All-BIG EAST Selection, a First Team All-New England selection, Missouri Athletic Club National Player of the Year finalist, Hermann Award National Player of the Year finalist, Soccer Digest Magazine’s “Best collegiate soccer player in America” and USA Today’s “Most Versatile Player”.

In the 2000 season, Jen Carlson moved up to second on the all-time list with 153 points. One of UConn’s original stars, Moira Buckley, set the bar high during her career, collecting 166 points from 1980 to 1983. She has held the record for over 20 years.

HUSKIES AND THE U.S. NATIONAL TEAM

Throughout the years, the University of Connecticut women’s soccer program has established itself as one of the premier programs in the country. In addition to the postseason appearances and perennial player accolades, several Huskies throughout the years have participated on the highest level of women’s soccer competition with the U.S. National Teams. These players have traveled internationally and across the United States where they have exhibited their skills and talents. Sara Whalen, a 1997 UConn graduate, helped the U.S. Women’s National Team to take home the 1999 World Cup Championship title and the Silver Medal in the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Former Husky three-time All-American forward Mary-Frances Monroe has also made several national team appearances. Most recently, midfielder Meghan Schnur played with the U-19 US Team that competed in the FIFA World Championship in 2004. Additionally, Kristen Graczyk was called in three times in 2005 to participate in the Under-21 National Team camp. During the summer of 2009, Brittany Taylor was called up to play for the National Team, while Elizabeth Eng participated on the youth National Squad.

FOREIGN TOURS

In August of 1992, Len Tsantiris added a new dimension to Connecticut women’s soccer by bringing the team on an inter-national tour of Denmark. Since 1992, the program has had the privilege of traveling to different parts of the world three additional times. The NCAA rule limits a foreign tour to once every four years, which allows Coach Tsantiris to bring each class once. He believes that it is an integral part of the education that his players receive during their four years at UConn: “Not only can we prepare for the regular season and play against some of the best women’s teams in the world, but our players have the opportunity to learn about different cultures, see how the game is appreciated in other countries, and experience parts of the world that they may never see again.”

The foreign tour typically commences two days into preseason and lasts between 10 and 14 days. Players report to UConn in early August, complete compliance certifi cation and fi tness testing before the trip and then return to campus several days before classes begin. The following is a summary of the past four trips that Coach Tsantiris and his teams have taken.

1992: DENMARK

In 1992, Coach Tsantiris made history and ventured into his fi rst international tour. The team played a challenging six-game schedule against top Division I and II clubs which included national team players from Denmark, Australia and Finland. The team fi nished the trip 3-1-2. Coach Tsantiris was very pleased with the outcome of the trip, “I was excited to expose the team to international soccer,” said Tsantiris. “We chose Denmark because the women’s club leagues there play some of the best women’s soccer in the world. They play a thinking kind of game.”

1996: DENMARK AND NORWAY

The success and benefi ts of the program’s fi rst trip to Denmark encouraged Coach Tsantiris and his team to return to the Scandinavian countries four years later. Accompanied by many friends and family of the women’s soccer team, the Hus-kies began their Scandinavian tour in Copenhagen, Denmark. Highlights of the trip included attendance at a professional game, a scenic ferry ride from Denmark to Norway that included sights of the Oslo Fjord, and sightseeing in Copenhagen and Oslo. On the fi eld, the Huskies improved on their international record from 1992 and came away from the trip with a 4-1 record. The Huskies beat Vejle (4-1), the No. 2 ranked women’s soccer professional club team in Denmark’s fi rst division,

along with Mejrup (2-1) and FFI (3-1). The team’s only loss came to a very expe-rienced and talented For-tuna squad, the #1 ranked club team in Europe at the time. Though the Huskies lost this game, they quickly identifi ed areas that needed improvement for the regular season by gaining tremen-dous experience. Conse-quently, UConn challenged for a national championship the following year. In addi-tion, a relationship between UConn and Fortuna extend-ed into a return trip from Fortuna to Morrone Stadi-um on the UConn campus for an exhibition game on September 10, 1998.

Foreign ToursForeign Tours



2000: GREECE AND ITALY

In 2000, Coach Tsantiris decided that it was time to take the team to his homeland. He is originally from a small island in Greece, but the team did not visit his island. They spent time in Athens, Leptokaria Pieria and Thessaloniki. During a two week tour of Greece and Italy, the Huskies played eight games, winning all eight and were crowned champions of the 3rd AEGEAN Olympus Cup. Coach Tsantiris valued the opportunity to go overseas and refl ected on the importance of the trip shortly before leaving, “We are going to Greece and Italy to play games. We will play four in each country in order to gain competitive game experience that you can’t get from practicing. It will be very valuable. This experience will help us next year and the year after and will benefi t all of our classes.” Sightseeing on this trip included Mt. Olympus, the ancient site of Dion, the ancient castle of Platamon, the Acropolis, and the Parthenon. After 7 days in Greece, the team traveled to Italy and spent time in Udine, Venice and Rome. With excel-lent food and amazing sites, the trip proved to be an invaluable experience for the team as they developed a more posses-sion style of play and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfi nal, losing to the eventual National Champions. As coach Tsantiris foresaw, three years later the team played in the national championship game.

2004: BRAZIL

The men’s Brazilian national team has seen dominance with the likes of Pele, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, and the women’s national team has emerged over the past seven years as a World Cup and Olympic contender. On the fi eld, the Brazil-ians display technical superiority, creativity and a confi dence in their abilities to which most players aspire. Believing that his players would learn from and pick up some of Brazil’s savvy play, Coach Tsantiris decided that a trip to South America would be a new and exciting opportunity for the program. A 12-day tour of Rio de Janeiro, Buzios and Teresopolis proved to be an amazing experience for the group. “Everyday we were doing something. A lot of good things came out of it and it was a very educational experience for everyone. The kids were able to experience a different culture and create camara-derie with one another. And at the same time, we were in the richest soccer country in the world. It gave us an opportunity to play against a totally different level of competition” said Tsantiris.

The highlights of the trip included attendance at two professional games at Maracana Stadium, including a game in which former World Cup Champion Romario played. The team visited the Brazilian Soccer Hall of Fame within the Maracana, played beach soccer games against local players, visited the Corcovado and Christ the Redeemer tourist spots and practiced and played at the Brazilian National Training Center in Teresopolis.

FOREIGN TOURS



THE LONG ISLAND CONNECTION

THELONG ISLAND

CONNECTIONIn his 29-year history with Connecticut women’s soccer, Len Tsantiris has had 16 natives of New York’s Long Island play for the Huskies. Not only have these 16 competed as members of the team, they have each had a major impact on the program. Twelve have earned postseason honors and six of the Long Island products have been named All-Americans. All-Americans hailing from Long Island include three-time All-American Sara Whalen and Mary-Frances Monroe, former assistant coach and 1991, 1992, and 1993 All-American Karen Ferguson, 1991 All-American Cathy Cambria, 1988 and 1990 All-American Beth Grecco, and 1987, 1988, and 1989 All-American Kim Prutting. The Huskies had their seventh different Long Island athlete named All-American in 2007 when Brittany Taylor earned the honor. The Long Island tradition continued in 2008 with the addition of Michelle Reynolds and Heather Kasper and again in 2010 when Devin Prendergast joined the Huskies.

ACADEMIC COUNSELING

The University of Connecticut’s Counseling Program for Intercollegiate Athletes (CPIA) was established in 1986 to provide comprehensive support to all UConn student-athletes. CPIA’s staff includes nine full time counselors, a learning special-ist, three graduate assistants and an extensive complement of tutors. The program boasts a large computerized writing lab with electronic access to the reference tools of the Homer Babbidge Library. Individual tutors in all subjects are readily available to student-athletes upon their request. A CPIA counselor is assigned to each intercollegiate team. He or she monitors stu-dent-athlete academic performance; provides academic, career, and personal coun-seling while also making appropriate referrals to other University support programs including Career Services, Study Abroad, and discipline-specific advising; facilitates, in consort with faculty and staff advisors, registration in courses that accommodate practice times while optimizing progress toward a degree; coordinates tutor requests and assignment; assists in the development of learning and time management skills; and ensures individual student-athlete compliance with NCAA satisfactory academic progress rules. The UConn women’s soccer coaches and team members take great pride in the team’s academic, service, and leadership accomplishments. The team completed an academic Triple Crown of sorts in 2009-2010. First, they were recognized for academic excellence by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Second, they were recognized during the spring 2010 semester by the University as UConn’s top academic team, boasting a 3.26 spring 2009-fall 2009 cumulative team grade point average (the team has gone on to post a remarkable 3.44 team GPA for the spring 2010 semester). And third, the team was recognized by the NCAA in its Public Recognition Program as being in the top 10% among women’s soccer teams nationally with respect to Academic Progress Rate (APR). Indeed, fifteen members of the team achieved the Dean’s List in their school or college last year, the high-est number of Dean’s List achievers for the team since its academic heyday in the mid-1990’s. Leading the team this past year with perfect 4.0 spring semester GPA’s were seniors Annie Yi and Lauren Ebert. Brittany Taylor, Corey Bildstein and Jessica Shufelt followed closely in the spring semester with near perfect 3.93, 3.93 and 3.88 GPAs, respectively. Joining these five students in averaging at or above 3.5 over the full academic year were Melissa Busgue, Danielle Dakin, Becky Gundling, Karen Gurnon, Sam Kelley, Hillary Lackman, Kacey Richards, Linda Ruutu, and Courtney Wilkinson-Maitland. Annie Yi received the team’s individual Scholar-Athlete Award, recognizing sustained academic excellence, at the team’s annual banquet. She was accepted into UConn’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program last spring and completed her initial coursework in the program this summer with perfect grades.

UConn women’s soccer members have a long tradition of garnering academic, lead-ership, service, and holistic honors within and outside the athletics realm. Shannon Algoe, Karen Gurnon, and Annie Yi were named New England Scholars for hav-ing achieved consecutive 3.7 or better semesters in the 2009 calendar year. With

regard to service, Courtney Wilkinson-Maitland, Meghan Cunningham, and Alexis Garufi all serve as teacher/facili-tators on the Enrichment Team, teach-ing the Personal Growth for Student-Athletes freshmen year experience course and maintaining the distinction of being one of the very few UConn undergraduate students entrusted to conduct classroom sessions in a credit-bearing course without direct supervision. Significantly, three of the six members of this elite teaching/mentoring unit, selected after a rigor-ous screening process, are women’s soccer players. Wilkinson-Maitland, Cunningham, and Garufi along with senior Corey Bildstein also serve as Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Small Group Facilitators, helping freshmen student-athletes as well as non-ath-letes optimize their use of individual personality type testing results in aca-demic, career, and personal realms.

Less than a year ago, UConn’s School of Law announced that Kate Foley, UConn’s 2002 women’s soccer Academic All-American, finished first in her law school class. Foley, who led the team in minutes played as a

senior, previously completed UConn’s Pharm.D. program in 2006. She is now with the prestigious Boston law firm Ropes & Gray. Meanwhile, 2007 women’s soccer graduate Courtney Sands made the Law Review last year at New England School of Law. Also In recent years UConn’s Neag School has honored Brittany Tegeler, Kathleen Frank, Lani Fortier, and Kristen Gracyk as the top student in their Kinesiology Department’s academic field. Notably, UConn’s Kinesiology program is ranked #1 ranked in the nation. Further, UConn women’s soccer players have cap-tured 11 of the 19 Kinsman Awards since that prestigious award was established. The Kinsman Award is CPIA’s highest award, presented annually to one female and one male from among all seniors in UConn’s 24 varsity sports. The award rec-ognizes academic and athletic achievement and improvement, leadership, service, perseverance and character. UConn women’s soccer players- including current Women’s Professional Soccer’s Meghan Schnur and Kristen Graczyk- have also captured 5 of the last 9 female UConn Big East Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards (given to only one UConn female student-athlete each year). Since the spring 2003 semester, women’s soccer teammates have supported each other academi-cally through a “learning group” program, first proposed by for-mer goalkeeper Maria Yatrakis and initiated by Coach Tsantiris and team counselor John Miceli. These groups have proven tre-mendously effective in facilitating academic achievement motivation and team unity, and enhancing team GPA. In fact, the learning group program has been so suc-cessful that it is now emulated by the men’s and women’s swimming & diving teams and the women’s cross-country and track & field teams. Annie Yi, Samantha Kelly, Cory Bildstein, Courtney Maitland-Wilkinson, and Karen Gurnon will lead the team’s learning groups this fall.

Since 1988, John Miceli has served as the team’s academic counselor. Coaches Tsantiris, O’Brien, and Rodriguez work closely with John to create a nurturing environment in which each individual team member can grow personally, academically and athletically. John travels with the team, providing continuous holistic support and often proctoring exams on the road, attends practices and is available in the CPIA office daily for individual consultation. A 1974 U.S. Coast Guard Academy gradu-ate, Miceli co-captained the soccer team there and was a New England-ranked hurdler. He holds a Master’s degree in counseling from Northeastern University and a Sixth Year Professional Diploma in sport studies/sport psychology from UConn.

Balancing athletics with academics is undoubtedly one of the most time consuming and challenging experiences a student-athlete will ever encounter. Despite the rigorous demands associated with learning in the classroom and competing at the Division I level, the UConn women’s soccer team always fi nds time to give back to the community.

In the past, many members of the team traveled to Mansfi eld Middle School to spend time in classrooms teaching children life lessons that are necessary to be successful both on and off the fi eld. The student-athletes stressed the importance of teamwork and cooperation in the classroom, on the soccer fi eld and in everyday life.

Jeffrey A. Hathaway has provided effective leadership for the University of Connecticut Division of Athletics as he enters his eighth year in that position. At the same time, he has also become a leader for college athletics on both the national and conference level.

He has played a vital role in the success story of UConn athletics for 19 of the past 21 years as he was the Executive Associate Director of Athletics at the school from 1990-2001.In his only two years away from the Storrs campus, Hathaway enjoyed a suc-cessful tenure as the Director of Athletics at Colorado State University from 2001-03.

His first seven years as UConn’s Director of Athletics have arguably been the most suc-cessful in school history.

The 2009-10 academic year was anoth-er successful campaign. The football team played in its third-straight bowl game and won its second consecutive while the women’s basketball team won the national champion-ship with a perfect record for the second-straight year. In addition, the men’s soccer, women’s soccer, field hockey, men’s basket-ball and baseball teams all qualified for post-season tournament play. UConn was also selected as one of 16 regional hosts for the NCAA baseball tournament. The women’s ice hockey team also spent most of the year ranked in the top 10 of the country.

Hathaway also directed UConn to reach an agreement with IMG College, a division of IMG Worldwide, during the 2009-10 academic year. This 10-year athletics multi-media rights partnership is worth more than $80 million in guaranteed payments to the University.

In 2007-08, UConn successfully com-pleted the NCAA certification process. The institution was previously certified, once every 10 years as set forth by the NCAA, in 1998. Hathaway provided leadership for a compre-hensive, year-long self study of the opera-tions in the Division of Athletics, a site visit by a peer review team, a NCAA certification

committee’s review of the self-study and a report by the peer review team.

The Division also reached new long-term agree-ments with two of its media partners in recent years – Connecticut Public Television for wom-en’s basketball and WTIC radio for foot-ball and men’s and women’s basketball. UConn also com-pleted a landmark ten-year, $46 million corporate partner-ship agreement with Nike, Inc. to exclu-sively provide foot-wear, apparel and equipment for Husky athletics.

In addition to his leadership role at UConn, Hathaway is entering his fourth-year of a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee representing the BIG EAST Conference. As a member of the ten-person committee, Hathaway takes part in the selection and administration of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship and the administration of the CBS television contract. Hathaway will serve as chairman of that committee in 2011-12. He is only the fourth individual in the history of the BIG EAST Conference to serve on the com-mittee, joining Dave Gavitt, Jake Crouthamel and Mike Tranghese.

Hathaway is a member of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association Board of Trustees and on the Executive Committee of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA).

Some significantly historic achievements have occurred during Hathaway’s time as Director of Athletics. UConn became the first school to win the NCAA Division I men’s and women’s basketball championships in the same year (2004) and the football team was victorious in its first ever bowl game - the 2004 Motor City Bowl.

Private fundraising for UConn athletics continues to provide exceptional academic and athletic opportunities for student-ath-letes.

UConn secured a gift of $2.5 million from alumnus Mark Shenkman in 2004 for the building of the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center, an intercollegiate and recreational services facility that serves the entire univer-sity community.

Under Hathaway’s guidance, the Division of Athletics received the University’s Environmental Leadership Award for the construction of The Burton Family Football Complex and the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center. The two buildings are the University’s first projects certified as meeting

the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards for “green” build-ings. At its 13th annual awards ceremony in March of 2008, the Connecticut Real Estate Exchange presented UConn with the “Green Building Award” for these environmentally-friendly facilities.

In his role as Director, Hathaway also oversees UConn’s Recreational Services pro-gram. Serving the entire University commu-nity, approximately 580,000 individual uses were logged last year, reflecting the popular-ity of the diverse health and fitness offerings to students, faculty and staff.

Hathaway leads a head coaching staff that is one of the most experienced in the country. UConn has 13 head coaches that have been in their current position 10 or more years as of the 2010-11 academic year, including women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma (26th year in 2010-11), men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun (25th) and football coach Randy Edsall (12th). The University recently completed a long term contract extension with Calhoun. UConn has the distinction of being the only school in the nation with two active Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame coaches in Calhoun (Class of 2005 inductee) and Auriemma (Class of 2006 inductee).

Hathaway was also a key factor in the opening of Rentschler Field in 2003 – the country’s newest and most modern BCS col-lege football facility.

During Hathaway’s career, he has always made the student-athlete the top priority. In the spring and fall semesters of the 2009 calendar year, UConn’s student-athletes excelled in the classroom as nearly 50% of the 650 student-athletes achieved a 3.0 “B-or better” semester grade point average. In addi-tion, the Division of Athletics has consistently maintained a 99 percent retention rate among its student-athletes.

“My focus is on the student-athlete,” says Hathaway. “That’s the most important part of our program. Our primary mission is the continued academic success of our student-athletes. The challenge is to identify people early in the process and assist them in charting a career path. In addition, we want to provide a quality experience in intercollegiate athletics for our student-athletes.”

Hathaway earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Administration from the University of Maryland in 1981. He later received a Master’s Degree in General Administration (1991) from the University of Maryland and is currently continuing work on a PhD in Educational Leadership from the University of Connecticut.

He attended The Sports Management Institute at the Universities of Notre Dame and Southern California. Hathaway also completed the Management Development Program at Harvard University.

Born June 20, 1959, in Cheverly, Md., Hathaway and his wife Paula have two chil-dren: Meghan (October 15, 1991) and Michael (June 11, 1995).
