Th e Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St. George (RCB Ballpark) is a baseball stadium located on the

north-eastern tip of Staten Island. Th e ballpark is the home of the Staten Island Yankees, the NY-Penn

League affi liate of the New York Yankees, and of Wagner College Seahawks Baseball.

THIS IS WAGNER COLLEGEAs tenacious as any Seahawk, Wagner College enjoys a bucolic perch atop Grymes Hill overlooking Manhattan and the other boroughs of New York City. Founded in 1883 as a Lutheran proseminary, Wagner has evolved to become an independent residential liberal arts college enrolling a capacity of over 2,000 students. Th e location of the College above the gateway to one of the world’s greatest fi nancial and cultural capitals was the work of alumnus Frank Sutter who convinced the College’s Board of Trustees to relocate Wagner here from Rochester in 1918. In this, the Rev. Sutter and the trustees were extraordinarily prescient. Th eir wisdom provided Wagner with a distinct geographical advantage over all other all liberal arts colleges in the country. Wagner is New York State’s southernmost college and its 105 park-like acres represent the highest elevation on the eastern seaboard from Maine to Key West Florida.

Th e College’s signature curriculum – the Wagner Plan for the Practical Liberal Arts – capitalizes on the best of a traditional, suburban, liberal arts college campus and the infi nite array of educational opportunities aff orded by New York City. Students intern in the world’s leading fi nancial institutions. Th ey observe and experience diversity from the sophisticated workings of the United Nations to melting pots of multicultural neighborhoods. Th ey circulate in the city’s unparalleled creative environment of museums, media, and performing arts. Th is is their laboratory. Th ey immerse themselves and are inspired by the city’s sheer energy.

Th e contrast between the frenetic life of the city and the almost pastoral setting of the campus is the perfect metaphor for the melding of experiential and theoretical education that is the hallmark of Th e Wagner Plan. In small learning communities, students and faculty explore the conceptual foundations of the arts, humanities, and sciences. Th e faculty challenges students to consider new ideas, to master new skills and technologies, and to refl ect and draw meaning from what they have experienced in and out of the classroom.

A lush canopy of mature maples and oaks shades Wagner’s 105-acre campus of manicured lawns and gardens; historic and modern buildings; and sweeping views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New York Harbor. In early 2009, former U.S. President Bill Clinton recognized Wagner College and President Richard Guarasci, at the second annual Clinton Global Initiative University. Wagner was cited for the Port Richmond Partnership, an innovative program that will focus the school’s community resources in an eff ort to improve quality of life in a specifi c Staten Island neighborhood.

Movie companies have frequently used the campus as a classic college setting, most recently for a movie titled “School of Rock” starring Jack Black (Shallow Hal). Th e picturesque campus was also used in a fall 2001 television series, Th e Education of Max Bixford, starring Richard Dreyfus and as the site of a prospective private military school in the HBO series, Th e Sopranos.

Since the adoption of the Wagner Plan in 1997, enrollment has increased by nearly 40 percent and student quality as measured by high school average and SAT scores have improved as well. Once largely a commuter campus, now 82 percent of all undergraduates live on campus in residence halls that off er “million dollar” views. Th ough continuing to serve students from metropolitan New York, the college draws most of its enrollment from beyond the immediate region. By every measure – enrollment, endowment, and national reputation – Wagner is ascending the ranks of America’s strongest small colleges that blend the liberal arts with a commitment to service and preparation for the professions. Campus life includes the array of sports provided by an NCAA Division I program which is housed in a 93,000-square-foot sports center featuring an extensive fi tness center, an indoor NCAA swimming pool and a basketball arena. A football and track & fi eld stadium showcases a variety of playing fi elds throughout the campus including baseball, soft ball, lacrosse and soccer venues.

Wagner’s alumni include Broadway Tony award winners, movie stars, film producers, playwrights, and Fortune 500 CEO’s including the chairman of GE Investments, the chairman of Dupont Europe, the chairman Emeritus of Th e Oppenheimer Management Company and the chairman of the New York Power Authority. Visitors to and residents of New York City alike enjoy access to a rich and diverse array of museums, cultural organizations, arts performances, sports teams, societies and attractions. Some of the best and most famous attractions in the world call New York City home. We encourage you to fi nd out more about them, so that you can plan a visit to what is one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world. To get to Manhattan from Staten Island, you can take a ride on the world-famous Staten Island Ferry, a well-recognized icon of New York City transportation, and incidentally, a free ride into the heart of New York City.

Walt Hameline, who announced on November 24, 2014 that he was stepping down as Wagner College head football coach, continues to amass an astounding record of achievement and consistency as the Seahawks’ athletic director, a position he has held since 1981.

Th e results derived from this energetic leader, who approaches each day with relentless energy, passion and enthusiasm, are profound.

“Walt Hamline represents the best of what Wagner is all about - high achievement, integrity and hard work,” said Wagner College President Richard Guarasci. “He has been an excellent teacher, mentor and leader, and one of the truly great infl uences on the development and history of Wagner College. It has been my good fortune to work alongside him.

“He is a Wagner treasure and he will continue as Athletics Director to leave his indelible mark of character and commitment on this special place,” Guarasci continued. “I look forward to many years of his fi ne leadership in athletics and on all aspects of our campus community.” For the last eight years, the Northeast Conference (NEC) has presented the Institutional Academic Award to the league member who attains the highest overall institutional grade-point average amongst student-athletes competing in sports sponsored by the NCAA Division I conference. In 2012-2013, for an NEC-record third time, Wagner claimed this award with an NEC-record 3.305 grade point average in its 19 sponsored sports. Additionally, the 2012-2013 Seahawks’ soccer (3.540), indoor women’s track & fi eld (3.457), outdoor women’s track & fi eld (3.457) and men’s lacrosse (3,230) paced their respective sports. In 2013-2014, the Seahawks’ Swimming & Diving (3.537), Men’s Lacrosse (3.221) and Football (2.969) squads all won the Team GPA Award for their respective sports. Th e 2013-2014 academic year was a high-water mark for

Seahawk student-athletes on a variety of fronts as Wagner claimed both the SAAC Student-Athlete of the Year (Meredith Ketchmark – Swimming & Diving) and the NEC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year (Ellen Huff man – Golf) Awards. Wagner also had three student-athletes earn NEC Scholar-Athlete of the year Award in their respective sports this past academic year in Huff man (Golf), Kelsey Parker (Soft ball) and Matthew Kane (Track & Field).

Each year, the NCAA recognizes teams that score in the top 10 percent in their sport with respect to Academic Progress Rates (APR). In 2013-2014, fi ve Wagner athletic teams – men’s and women’s tennis, women’s basketball, women’s cross country and women’s golf – were cited by the NCAA with public recognition awards.

Additionally, a total of 237 Seahawk student-athletes earned spots on the 2013-2014 NEC Academic Honor Roll, with 64 being named in the fall, 54 in the winter, and 119 in the spring. Of the 64 members of the 2013 Fall NEC Honor Roll, 29 were members of the Wagner football team that is coached by Hameline. In April of 2012, Hameline, who has enjoyed a long and proud association with metropolitan area basketball and the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), was the recipient of the 2012 Distinguished Service Award from the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association (MBWA). Distinguished Service Awards are presented by the MBWA to individuals that have made signifi cant contributions to college basketball.

For more than two decades, he was one of fi ve metro area athletic directors, along with his peers at NYU, Fordham, Manhattan and St. John’s, who helped comprise the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Association (MIBA). Along with NIT Executive Director Jack Powers, Hameline helped select teams for both preseason and postseason NIT’s, while directing other functions such as the NIT All-Star Summer Tour.

Under Hameline’s leadership, the Wagner Athletic Department has undergone an ambitious expansion in both sport off erings and facility improvements. Most recently, and thanks to the generosity of one of his former off ensive lineman and now highly-successful business man, Marc Lebovitz, Wagner College Stadium was the benefi ciary of a striking state-of-the-art video scoreboard in 2010.

Th e scoreboard, donated by Lebovitz, a member of the Seahawks’ 1987 Division III National Championship football team and a 1991 Wagner graduate, represented a major facility upgrade for the Green & White football program, while also benefi ting the women’s soccer, men’s lacrosse, women’s lacrosse and men’s & women’s track and fi eld programs.

Hameline completed his 34th season on Saturday as the Seahawks posted a riveting 23-20 win at Bryant, giving the Seahawks a 7-4-record and a share of the 2014 Northeast Conference (NEC) regular season title at 5-1, Wagner’s second league crown in the last three years.

Th e 2014 campaign was the 24th winning season that the Green & White have enjoyed under Hameline, who has amassed an all-time record of 223-139-2 (.615) on Grymes Hill. At the conclusion of the 2014 regular season, those 223 victories ranked fi ft h among active head Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) head coaches. During a stirring ceremony prior to kickoff of the September 15, 2012, Wagner vs. Monmouth game, the fi eld at Wagner College Stadium was named Hameline Field in honor of his long-time success at the helm of the Seahawk gridiron program.

November 6, 2010 was another historic day in Hameline’s career, another that also involved Monmouth, as the Seahawks’ 31-20 win over the Hawks’ that was career victory number 200.

In 2012, Hameline, who has coached more than 100 All-Americans and nearly 100 All-NEC players, led the Seahawks to their fi rst-

ever Northeast Conference (NEC) Football Championship with a thrilling 23-17 come-from-behind victory over Duquesne on November 17, 2012, while clinching a berth in the 2012 Division I FCS Championship. Th e win personifi ed the Green & White’s exhilarating season. Wagner began the season with three straight losses, before winning its next nine games.

In defying the odds throughout its triumphant march to the school’s fi rst-ever Northeast Conference (NEC) title and the conference’s fi rst-ever NCAA FCS win, Wagner compiled a 9-4 record, including a 7-1 mark in the NEC. Th e Seahawks fi nished the season ranked 21st in Th e Sports Network Final Top-25 Poll and 22nd in the Final FCS Coaches Poll, an achievement that marked the fi rst time an NEC team has ended the season with an appearance in both offi cial Top-25 polls.

Th e accolades soon began to pour in for Hameline. Aft er being named the 2012 NEC Football Coach of the year, he was tabbed the 2012 Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) National Coach of the Year by both College Football News (CFN) and the College Sports Journal (CSJ). Hameline was also named as one of

the 20 nominees for the Eddie Robinson Award, which since 1987 has been awarded annually to college football’s top head coach in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).

Hameline also saw his fi rst former player crack the NFL ranks when Julian Stanford made the 2012 Jacksonville Jaguars’ 53-man roster, becoming the fi rst Seahawk in the NFL since Wagner Hall of Famer Rich Kotite suited up for the New York Giants in 1972. Currently a member of the Detroit Lions, Stanford is one of two former Seahawks currently playing in a major professional football league, along with C.O. Prime of the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Prior to the momentous 2012 season, Hameline’s overall coaching ledger included fi ve ECAC Titles and three NCAA Tournament Appearances, highlighted by 1987 NCAA Division III National Championship. In the magical Championship Season of 1987, Wagner posted a 19-3 win over heavily-favored Dayton in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl to earn the NCAA Division III National Championship. Against one of the toughest schedules in the nation, Hameline’s Seahawks rolled to a 13-1 record, winning more games than any college football team in America.

Th e team earned the school’s second Lambert Trophy, symbolic of football superiority in the East among Division III schools, and ECAC Team of the Year recognition. Following the season, in addition to Sports Illustrated writing a feature story, a host of national and regional organizations recognized Hameline, highlighted by him being named the Chevrolet National Coach of the Year. In 1990, just three years aft er winning the school’s only National Championship, Hameline became the winningest coach in school history.

2015 Wagner College SoftballSeason OutlookSeason Outlook

I. Overall Expectations for the 2015 SeasonHead Coach Glen Payne, who embarks on his twentieth season in the dugout, is confi dent that the 2015 squad, comprised of a blend of talented newcomers and several experienced returners, will form a cohesive squad that will have a chance to vie for a Northeast Conference championship.

“With the caliber of players coming back (including six to seven players that started last season as freshmen) and our pitching staff , we think we will make a run in the playoff s,” Payne expressed. “Th at’s our team goal. With the leadership of my coaching staff (John Pisano and former Wagner standout Judith Betz), and of our senior class, we as a team should reach the playoff s because once you’re in, you just never know what’s going to happen.”

Payne affi rms that his girls are a young team, but they are experienced and powerful. He believes they will be ready come game-time based on their performances in practice and throughout the fall.

“We had a nice fall, despite a few rain-outs, but at the end of the day, we got our work done,” coach emphasized. “Th ere is a lot of competition for playing time and positions,” Payne says. “Whether you’re a freshman or a senior, the best nine are going to walk on that fi eld come game time. Th is in part teaches two important aspects, the fi rst, it gives our newcomers an opportunity to realize if they are ready for the challenge ahead of them then they can take it from the very beginning, and second, it keeps the upperclassmen motivated to continue to play at the utmost highest level, knowing that someone is chasing them for their spot.”

“One common thread that all these players have this season is that they aren’t satisfi ed” concluded Payne. Th e message for the team is simple in 2015, and as Head Coach Payne puts it, “Complacency breathes contentment which breathes failure – they are hungry and we want them hungry.”

II. Returning PlayersTh e Seahawks return 13 solid playmakers for the 2015 campaign. Th e senior class is comprised of standout shortstop Kelsey Parker, who garnered NEC Most Improved Athlete, three-time NEC athlete of the week, named Second Team All-Conference while leading the NEC in batting average (.444). She is very consistent, has no drop off , shows great leadership and is a huge asset to this team. Beth Lewis is a senior for the squad who hit over .300 last season for the Seahawks and splits time between fi rst base and catcher. She is the foundation for the team’s consistency and stabilizes the squad. Th e last senior is pitcher Sam Bedker, the lone senior on the pitching staff this season that Head Coach Payne thinks very highly of. She went 10-8 last year but has the potential to win anywhere between 15-20 ball games. Th e coaching staff has very high expectations and are expecting great things from these seniors this season.

Th e junior class brings a ‘multipurpose edge’ to the squad being able to play in various positions in the fi eld. Th e class consists of third basemen/catcher Brenda Bott, who also earned Second Team All-Conference honors last year and has a lot of power in the batter’s box, according to Payne. Junior Taylor Secemski is practicing at fi rst base but is able to pitch a couple innings of relief if needed and can really hit the ball. Th e last junior, Megan Moore, spends most of her defensive time as a catcher as she has the best arm, stated Payne, but can also play fi rst base.

2015 Wagner College Softball

Most of squad’s depth comes from the sophomore class. McKaleigh Goodale leads the way as she was recruited to be a shortstop and ended up as the team’s number one pitcher last year. She fi nished last season ranked No.87 in the country with a 2.83 era. Taylor Beeson, a second basemen, hit over .300 last season and has a lot of pop in her bat according to the coaching staff . Brian-na Tredway is also part of the sophomore class, an outstanding centerfi elder that can go gap-to-gap, play the game, really un-derstands it and can hit the ball on top of it all. Pitcher Gina Massero threw some quality innings, came along at a nice pace and overall is a player that the coaches are very happy and excited about. Hana Gilbert’s power in the batter’s box brings her into the lineup as she batted over .300 last season while playing off ensively splitting time between left and right fi eld. Aerika High became the team’s third basemen as she has a solid arm defensively to make plays and also brings power in the box. Camille Kiyota made her presence at the plate as well and helps add depth for the Green & White.

NEWCOMERS:Rounding out the 2015 squad is a fairly large and very well respected freshmen class consisting of infi elder Maddie Marable, out-fi elder’s Maite Reece and Laura Petri, pitcher/utility Abby Boyer, catcher/infi elder Drew Duff y and pitcher Morgan Brown. Th e freshmen have already made signifi cant improvements just during the fall season, the coaching staff is very excited to see what the rest of season will bring.

ScheduleWagner opens its 2015 campaign at the Norfolk State Spartan Classic in Norfolk, Virginia (February 20-22), with contests against host Norfolk State, Delaware State and Marist. Th e following weekend, the Seahawks travel to Rock Hill, South Carolina for the Winthrop Tournament (Feb. 27-March 1). As part of the fi ve-game tournament, the Seahawks will take on University of Mary-land-Eastern Shore, Winthrop, Hartford, Coppin State and Harvard.

Th e Green & White escape the cold of New York and head down to Clearwater, Florida for the University of South Florida Under Armour Invitational from March 6-8. Under warmer temperatures, the Seahawks will take on Dayton and Maine on the opening day. On March 7, Wagner will take on Ivy League member Pennsylvania and fi nish the day against Georgetown before concluding the tournament against Saint Joseph’s.

A week aft er leaving Florida, Wagner’s fourth tournament of the season has them returning to the state of Virginia as they will compete in the Cherry Blossom George Mason University Tournament. Th ere, they will take on the Hoyas of Georgetown for the second time in a week while concluding the day against Akron. To kick-off the second day of action, the Seahawks and Hoyas will meet for the third time this season and they conclude the tournament with a pair of meetings against the host Patri-ots.

On March 18, the team welcomes Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) member, Fairfi eld, to Staten Island in the team’s fi rst home contest of the season. Th ree days later, the squad embarks on their fi ft h and fi nal in-season tournament, traveling to New Haven, Connecticut for the Yale Invitational from March 21-22. Over the two days, the team will face Holy Cross and the host Bulldogs.

Th e Seahawks will host back-to-back games, starting on March 25 as they welcome their second MAAC opponent, Manhattan, to the island and open their Northeast Conference slate against Fairleigh Dickinson on the 28th. On the 29th, the squad makes the short trip into Brooklyn to take on LIU Brooklyn.

April kicks off with two home games, the fi rst coming against Saint Peter’s University, the team’s third MAAC opponent and wel-come the defending Northeast Conference champions, Bryant University, on April 3rd. On the 8th, Wagner travels up to New Rochelle, NY for their fi nal non-conference aff air against the Iona Gaels, the fi ft h MAAC school they scheduled this season.

Th e Seahawks welcome Central Connecticut on the 11th before embarking on a four-game conference road trip, starting in Fair-fi eld, Connecticut against the Sacred Heart University Pioneers on the 12th, followed by the Western Pennsylvania tour against Saint Francis U. (April 18) and Robert Morris (April 19). Th e team concludes the regular season at home on April 25 as they welcome Mount St. Mary’s.

ABOUT THE NORTHEAST CONFERENCE

Northeast Conference History

There is plenty to be excited about as the Northeast Conference enters its 34th year as an NCAA Division I athletic conference. Under the leadership of Commissioner Noreen Morris, the NEC’s ten core members remain dedicated to growth, innovation and achievement, and strengthening the Conference both on and off the fi eld. Following a successful 2013-14 campaign, the NEC now looks forward to writing the next chapter in the league’s evolution while building around the theme of #NECPride.

The NEC and its member institutions are committed to providing opportunities for student-athletes to achieve their fullest potential both in athletic competition and in the classroom. Likewise, the Conference continually strives to be an NCAA Division I leader for student-athlete achievement, academic excellence, integrity, sportsmanship, equity and diversity, community partnership and national engagement.

When the Northeast Conference (NEC) was fi rst established as the ECAC-Metro Conference back in 1981, the league’s founders had one goal in mind: to create a competitive NCAA Division I men’s basketball conference for unaffi liated schools on the Eastern seaboard. A single-sport entity at its inception, the NEC has grown far beyond expectations over the past three plus decades, having transformed itself into a 10-member, 22-sport conference.

The remarkable success story of the Conference began to unfold in 1985, when the league began sponsoring additional sports. Three years later, a change of name was in order and the Northeast Conference as we know it today was born. With membership and sport sponsorship continuing to grow over the years, the NEC now enjoys qualifi cation or play-in access to 14 different NCAA Championships (baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s volleyball).

Though the NEC has featured various incarnations since its inception, charter members Fairleigh Dickinson, LIU Brooklyn, Robert Morris, St. Francis Brooklyn, Saint Francis U and Wagner remain part of the current 10-school alignment. They are joined by Mount St. Mary’s (admitted in 1989), Central Connecticut (1997), Sacred Heart (1999) and Bryant (2012). The NEC’s six-state geographic footprint includes access to such major media markets as New York City, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Hartford and Providence.

NEC member institutions now compete in 22 championship sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s bowling, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s indoor track and fi eld, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s outdoor track and fi eld, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.

An Innovative LeaderThe NEC has embraced new and social media to convey its message to a growing fan base. The conference has attracted a loyal following in recent years on its Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube pages, and the NEC Overtime! blog continues to grow in popularity.

Likewise, the growth of NEC Front Row continues to be one of the most remarkable stories in the history of the Northeast Conference.After launching to rave reviews in August, 2012, the NEC’s state-of-the-art digital network has attracted a loyal following for its rich set of content, which includes live regular season and NEC Championship events, on-demand video, highlight packages, coaches shows, features, original programming and access to league’s extensive digital library, all free of charge to users. The network gives fans inside access to the NEC and its student-athletes on the fi eld, in the classroom, across campus, and in the community.

By the end of the 2013-14 academic year, over nearly 1,400 live events had been broadcast on NEC Front Row with nearly a half million viewers tuning in to the network.

The second year of NEC Front Row saw viewership increase by a staggering 40.8 percent, with an increase in viewership numbers in every NEC sponsored sport. The NCAA men’s lacrosse match between Bryant and Siena shattered the Front Row single-event viewership record with close to 6,000 tuning in to see the Bulldogs advance to the round of 16.

Last March, the Conference launched a companion NEC on the Run iOS mobile app that provides free, one-click access to live events and on-demand content from NEC Front Row. Fans can also join the conversation through the app’s social media integration. The NEC on the Run app can be downloaded on the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

For the second straight year, the NEC hosted a basketball preseason media day, but with a special twist. Combining social media and a state-of-the-art venue, the NEC hosted “Social” Media Day last October at the Barclay’s Center on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. The festivities aired live on NEC Front Row and a tape-delayed broadcast received multiple airings on Fox College Sports. The Front Row broadcast was an interactive one during which fans were encouraged to tweet comments and questions with the best making it on air.

NEC Front Row was there when the basketball season tipped off at “Social” Media Day, and returned for the climax as well via NEC Front Row Live! The online digital network was on the scene at the men’s and women’s title games, providing live pre- and post-game coverage via an ESPN-style fl oor level set.

The 2013-14 season also saw the debut of NEC-hosted Google+ Hangouts on Air, featuring one-on-one interviews with NEC student-athletes, coaches and media members. The Google+ Hangouts aired live on Google+ and YouTube, and upon completion, were immediately archived and available for on-demand viewing on the aforementioned platforms as well as NEC Front Row. By year’s end, the Conference hosted 58 Google+ Hangouts that received nearly 12,000 views, beginning with the NEC Football Coaches to kickoff the 2013 season last August.

Having provided an alternate take on the world of NEC sports since 2011, the NEC Overtime! Blog continued to be a favorite destination for fans of the Conference and its members. The blog showcases top news and the best of social media from around the NEC, and serves as a home for numerous fan-based contests, including the HersheyPark #SweetGetaway Contest, a smash hit during the 2014 NEC Basketball Tournament. The blog also rewarded the most rabid NEC fans who participated in social media-related activities (#NEC13 Sixth Man Award, #NECPridePix, #NECElite) throughout the NEC Basketball Tournament.

The NEC launched its most comprehensive radio advertising campaign ever last winter. The Conference maintained a season-long radio presence in every market it serves with NEC Notebook segments airing in New York (WFAN Sports Radio 66 & 101.9 FM), Pittsburgh (93.7 FM “The Fan”), Baltimore (CBS Radio/ESPN Radio), Hartford (ESPN Radio/Fox Sports Radio), Altoona (ESPN Radio) and Providence (WPRO).

For the fi rst time in league history, every single NEC football and basketball televised game aired nationally in 2013-14. Football games aired exclusively on ESPN3, and the NEC partnered with ESPNU, ESPN3, Fox College Sports (FCS) and CBS College Sports to deliver over 20 basketball broadcasts. In 2014, ESPN2 broadcast the NEC men’s basketball championship game for the 27th straight year, while ESPNU carried the women’s championship for the seventh year in a row. MSG has been the NEC’s fl agship regional network for 15 years, and was joined by Root Pittsburgh, MASN and Comcast SportsNet New England in airing an assortment of hoops games last season. FCS simulcast all regional games on its growing national network.

Success in the ClassroomThe NEC and its member institutions raised the bar once again with respect to the academic excellence displayed by the 4,000+ student-athletes who represented the Conference during the 2013-14 academic year.

Athletic AchievementThere was no shortage of #NECPride during the 2013-14 season, a year that yielded 20 All-American selections, fi ve Capital One Academic All-Americans, and 10 teams which earned national rankings in their respective sports.

The NEC sent representatives to NCAA Championship events in 14 different team sports in 2013-14, highlighted by Bryant men’s lacrosse shocking Syracuse to advance to the NCAA quarterfi nals. After winning its third straight NEC championship, Bryant knocked off MAAC champion Siena in the NCAA play-in game, setting the stage for one of the biggest victories in conference history in any sport. The Bulldogs went into the Carrier Dome to face national power and #2 seed Syracuse, and before a nationwide audience on ESPNU, stunned the Orange, 10-9, to advance. Along with Bryant, which ranked as high as 11th in the USILA poll, NEC newcomer Saint Joseph’s also earned a national ranking, reaching 19th in the same poll. The Hawks, in their fi rst year as an associate member, won the NEC regular season title with a perfect 6-0 record. The 2014 season also marked the fi rst for Hobart as an associate under the NEC men’s lacrosse banner. The on-fi eld success of the Bryant men’s lacrosse team translated into individual recognition for two of its best. Two-time NEC Player of the Year Kevin Massa and 2014 NEC Defensive Player of the Year Gunnar Waldt were both named semifi nalists for the Tewaaraton Award and tabbed USILA All-Americans. For the second straight year, Massa led the country in faceoff win percentage and faceoffs won.

Talk about an amazing feat. Incredibly, every member of the 2014 NEC Women’s Bowling membership ranked among America’s Best in National Tenpin Coaches Association (NTCA) polls that were released during the 2013-14 season. Fairleigh Dickinson (as high as No. 3), Kutztown (9th), Saint Francis U (10th), Sacred Heart (12th), St. Francis Brooklyn (13th), Adelphi (13th) and LIU Brooklyn (16th) all represented the NEC in the NTCA Top-20 this past season. FDU was one of eight teams to qualify for the NCAA women’s bowling championship, marking their 10th national appearance in 11 years.

In men’s and women’s basketball, a combined fi ve teams competed in the postseason, and the Robert Morris men’s basketball squad knocked off St. John’s in the Postseason NIT one year after stunning Kentucky in the same event. That wasn’t the only marquee win in NEC men’s hoops last season with St. Francis Brooklyn beating Miami, and Fairleigh Dickinson taking down Rutgers and Seton Hall in back-to-back games. Seeded fourth and competing on the road before a raucous, SRO crowd at the Sewall Center in Moon Township, Mount St. Mary’s won its fourth NEC men’s basketball championship with an 88-71 victory over top-seeded Robert Morris. Individually, LIU Brooklyn’s Jason Brickman led the nation in assists for the second straight year and became just the fourth player in NCAA history to fi nish with 1,000 career assists.

Playing before a coast-to-coast audience on ESPNU, two-time NEC Player of the Year Artemis Spanou and Robert Morris completed their incredible turnaround in women’s basketball, winning the program’s fi fth NEC championship on its home fl oor with a 78-64 win over Saint Francis U. Spanou led the nation in rebounding for the second consecutive year.

Three of the nine NEC football players to earn All-American status came from NEC co-champion and FCS playoff qualifi er Sacred Heart. Led by running back Keshaudas Spence, defensive tackle Troy Moore and defensive back J.D. Roussel, the Pioneers went from one win in 2012 to a 10-3 season in 2013, a year which ended with a close setback to Fordham in the FCS playoffs.

For the second straight year, Robert Morris women’s lacrosse player Jessica Karwacki led the nation by a wide margin in draw controls, averaging 12.71 per game. She also broke her own single season NCAA record with 216 draw controls. Wagner’s Shea Gegan ranked fi rst in the nation with 3.61 caused turnovers per game as Wagner went from an eighth place fi nish in 2013 to its fi rst-ever title game this past season.

The CCSU men’s cross country dynasty extended to fi ve as the Blue Devils edged Saint Francis U for the NEC championship in Loretto, PA. Blue Devil senior Craig Hunt broke his own course record in winning the event and became the fi rst NEC harrier since 2006 to qualify for the NCAA Cross Country Championships. In perhaps the most dominant individual performance of the year in the conference, Bryant senior Elmear Black left the fi eld in her wake in winning a second straight NEC women’s cross country individual title. She broke her own course record, crossing the tape in 17:46, over a minute ahead of her nearest competitor.

Cementing her status as a future NEC Hall of Fame candidate, Saint Francis U senior forward Tesa McKibben won NEC Women’s Soccer Player of the Year honors for the fourth straight season. It marked the fi rst time in NCAA history a player has earned Conference MVP honors in each of her four years. She also claimed an unprecedented fourth straight NEC Golden Boot honor and ranked fi rst in the nation with 2.45 points per game.

RMU’s Chris Carper fi nished fourth in the nation in the javelin at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships and was named a fi rst team USTFCCCA All-American. For the second straight year, LIU Brooklyn sprinter Brendon Rodney was named a second team All-American after fi nishing 13th in the 200 meters at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. LIU teammate Mica-Jonathan Petit-Homme earned second team All-America honors following a 12th place fi nish in the 400 hurdles at the NCAA outdoor meet.

It was three rounds of golf that LIU Brooklyn’s Marisol Doglioli will never forget. The sophomore established a new conference record, fi ring a six-under 210 (71-73-66) to win the NEC women’s golf individual title and help lead the Blackbirds to a three-peat. Her six-under 66 in the fi nal round was also the lowest score in NEC championship history.

An NEC record eight baseball players were taken in the 2014 MLB Draft, including three in the fi rst eight rounds. Bryant hurler Kevin McAvoy went to the Red Sox in the fourth round, followed by LIU Brooklyn shortstop John Ziznewski (8th round, White Sox) and Sacred Heart pitcher Kody Kerski (8th, Mariners).

In a remarkable feat, LIU Brooklyn’s Jenn Peters became the fi rst student-athlete in league history to be named Rookie of the Year in multiple sports, claiming the honor in both women’s soccer and women’s lacrosse.

Sparked by a spring season that has netted the Bulldogs a remarkable six NEC championships, Bryant won its fi rst Brenda Weare Commissioner’s Cup. The six titles were the most in a single season in NEC history and one shy of the calendar year mark shared by FDU (1991-92), UMBC (1999-00) and Monmouth (2006-07). The Bulldogs also captured the Men’s Cup for the fi rst time. Saint Francis U claimed the Joan Martin Women’s Cup for the second straight year and third time in school history.

The NEC Hall of Fame announced its fourth Hall of Fame class in January, 2014. The three-member group included Robert Morris men’s basketball player Myron Walker, Sacred Heart women’s basketball player Amanda Pape and legendary Robert Morris football coach Joe Walton.

To wrap a year fi lled with #NECPride, former FDU soccer star Alejandro Bedoya competed for the USMNT over the summer at the 2014 World Cup.

On Campus & In The CommunityThe NEC welcomed the class of 2017 to campus last summer as part of its annual outreach program designed to raise awareness and develop the league’s growing fan base. Over 8,000 students across the Conference were provided with NEC-logo drawstring bags fi lled with promotional products and coupons donated by a number of the league’s corporate partners along with an informative NEC Fan Guide.

The NEC, its member institutions and student-athletes have made community involvement an important piece of its mission. In 2013-14, the NEC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) spent time at the Children’s Cancer Recovery Foundation in Harrisburg, PA during its annual meeting. As part of the visit, SAAC leaders volunteered time to preparing care packages that went to children around the country. The SAAC also participated in a “Penny Wars” fundraiser for a fi fth straight year that resulted in a signifi cant donation to the Cancer Recovery Foundation. To assist in raising breast cancer awareness, NEC women’s volleyball teams supported “Dig Pink” and women’s basketball teams participated in the WBCA’s “Pink Zone” promotion.

For the fourth straight year, Sacred Heart was awarded the NEC Building Communities award. The award recognizes the institution which demonstrates the highest dedication to making an impact in the community through the efforts of its student-athletes, coaches and administrators. Over the course of the 2013-14 academic year, Sacred Heart donated over 11,000 hours of community service. In total, Conference members logged nearly 28,000 hours of community service.

Commitment to SportsmanshipThe NEC continued its long-running participation in the NCAA’s Respect Campaign, an effort to promote an environment of respect and integrity at Conference events.

The NEC Team Sportsmanship Award program recognized those teams and student-athletes who adhere to the principles of sportsmanship and pursue victory with honor. The NEC honored 22 teams for their commitment to sportsmanship during the 2013-14 academic year. Robert Morris and Sacred Heart took home four awards apiece.

Since the NEC Team Sportsmanship program was instituted in 2008-09, Saint Francis U has won a conference-best 29 awards. The Red Flash led the NEC in team sportsmanship honors each year from 2008-13.
