The mission of Endicott College is to instill in students an understanding of and an appreciation for professional and liberal studies. Deeply woven within this philoso-phy is the concept of applied learning, which has been the hallmark of Endicott. Linking classroom and off-campus work experience through required internships remains the most distinguishing feature of the College.

Endicott has a vision for the total development of the individual within a commu-nity that fosters an appreciation of diversity, international awareness, community service, and moral and ethical values. Endicott is an innovative and vibrant, student-centered institution that supports undergraduate and graduate students in their pursuit of knowledge.

Common threads run through the fabric of the Endicott experience: increased self-confidence, stronger professional skills and technological competencies, and perhaps the most valued of all, lives open to change.

Mission stateMent

U.S. News and World Report ranks Endicott among “The top tier of Best Regional Universities (North).”

I chose to play at Endicott because on my visit, I felt a sense of balance between a quality education and a com-petitive athletic experience. When looking for a school, I wanted to play at a level that kept my passion for the game but also allowed me to pursue my academic responsibilities. Endicott was the right fit because it offers a sense of com-munity and many unique experiences that I know will help me create a successful future.

The passion to be a student-athlete really drove me in the direction of Endicott. It didn’t matter what division I chose to play, as long as I could continue to pursue the love of the game. Over the years, I have found that the balance and atmosphere of both academics and athletics here at the DIII level, has helped me build strong bonds with my teammates, as well as excel in the classroom. The support from faculty, the education, and the athletic program at Endicott is something that I admire.

– Amanda Glynn ‘14

Playing field hockey at the Division III level at Endicott was not so much a choice as it was something that just made a lot of sense; I couldn’t find a reason to not participate. After I decided to come to Endicott for its academics and internship programs, the opportunity to play field hockey seemed like a bonus. I chose to play because Division III athletics allow student-athletes to compete at a high level, but also allow them to focus on their academics and explore other opportunities. I have been able to try all the things I’ve wanted to throughout my time at Endicott in addition to being fully invested in a team. What I saw as a “bonus” at the beginning of my time here has turned into one of the most meaningful experiences of my college life and my life as a whole. Not many people can say they were able to fully experience academics and athletics during their time in higher education, but I am certainly one of those lucky few. Endicott and Division III expect their student-athletes to maintain a balance of high academic and athletic perfor-mances, and I feel very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to rise to that challenge.

The Gulls are coming off an impressive 2012 season closing with a 15-5 overall record while going 9-1 in the Commonwealth Coast

Conference (CCC) and adding another title to the championship banner.

Endicott will welcome back six seniors and seven juniors. Despite losing five seniors that contributed to a thrilling CCC championship overtime win over Nichols and a trip to Utica, N.Y. for the NCAA tourney, Coach Cipolla will create a strong lineup.

Coach Cipolla is hoping that the team’s ability to show true camaraderie and teamwork will be the winning ticket for the Gulls.

“I think that one of the reasons we have been so successful is because of our teamwork, when someone is struggling on the field our team works together to get back on track” said Cipolla, who brought the field hockey program their first ever conference championship title in 2011. “We have been lucky to be able to rely on people stepping up when we need it. Last year Kathryn Walker only scored five goals, however two of them were in the playoffs when we needed it the most. Having multiple scoring threats balanced by a solid defensive unit will make us very dangerous.”

The Gulls who led the conference in goals last season (68) will have depth in the offensive circle by juniors Emily Sawchuck who netted 11 goals last year and led the team in assists (7), Kathryn Walker who found the back of the net five times and Mackenzie Hurst who tallied four points last season. Their strength in the circle will be sure to give them a scoring punch.

Also looking to help with the offensive push will be senior Beth Farr and sophomore Morgan Bresnahan who each tallied a goal last season. Co-Captain senior Amanda Glynn will also be moving up to the offensive line from defense to add some tallies in the goals column for the Gulls.

Taking charge between the posts for the Gulls will be senior goalkeeper Lizetta Solarik and sophomore Rose Bradley who will be battling for minutes. They each saw time in 2012 and recorded a .667 save percent-age a piece.

In front of the goalkeepers will be a strong experienced defensive line comprised of Co-Captain senior Emily O’Halloran, senior Robin Hunt and junior Alyssa Clark. Clark is coming off a great season where she started in all 20 games for the Gulls in 2012 and assisted on offensive corners for her ability to pound the ball into the back of the net, tallying four points last season. O’Halloran will be critical in the back for her ability to direct traffic and Hunt poses a strong stick on the line where she recorded a team high two defensive saves.

Hoping to feed the ball into the circle and support the attack will be Co-Captains senior Stacie Teevens (4) and junior Meghan Leary (3). Leary will take hold of the reins in the midfield coming off a second consecu-tive First Team All-Conference accolade and First Team All-Region recog-nition. The midfield is set to be quick and experienced. Teevens who earned a CCC Second Team All-Conference nod is known for her ability to move the ball up the field quickly and force offensive corners.

Defense and the midfield will possess great versatility, juniors Liz LeClair

and Jess Linden (Second Team All-Conference) will come in handy. Their ability to play multiple positions and their speed will give an edge for the Gulls in transition.

The Gulls will again play one of the toughest strength of schedules in New England, starting off with their home opener against Babson on August 30th. They will also come across MIT who hit the national rank-ings last year, UMass Dartmouth and North Shore rival Salem State who upset the Gulls last year in another overtime thriller.

The Gulls will be tested in the CCC, where every team will be gunning to take them down as the title holders for the second straight year. Endicott will face each team twice and will battle with the University of New England who gave the Gulls their only conference loss last season, and Nichols who the Gulls edged in another OT thriller CCC champion-ship match in 2012. They will also look to face cross town rival Gordon College who almost gave Endicott an upset in the semi-final match in OT last year.

Cipolla also discussed what she expects from this 2013 flock of Gulls. “My goal for this team is to continually get better as the season progresses so we are playing our best field hockey at the end of the season.”

In terms of the big target of their back Cipolla is confident it will only make the team stronger, “Being the top target of our conference op-ponents is exactly what we want. It is a standard that we will continue to work for and will make us an even stronger team down the line. We have to step on the field ready to be challenged each and every day.”

Jodi Cipolla

Head Coach Jodi Cipolla found that she had a passion for teaching, player development, and promoting life lessons through athletic

participation early in her career. At Endicott, Cipolla is able to use those passions towards her own program and the student-athletes that undoubtedly benefit from them.

“I love my job,” says Cipolla, who is entering her seventh year at the helm of the Gulls field hockey program. “I hope to create an environment for my players that is comfortable, yet challenging. Balancing fun with hard work is really important to me, especially at this level.”

The comfort, Cipolla says, comes from an open door communica-tion policy that invites conversation off the field. “I do individual meetings three times per year in order to check in, evaluate performance and outcomes, speak about academics, and any other issues that come up.”

On the field, the physical challenges differ from day-to-day in terms of game preparation, skill development, maintenance, and fitness depending on the time of season.

“In the beginning of the season, my assistant coaches and I set benchmarks for different parts of the season and plan where we want the team in specific areas by those specific points. We then tailor practices on a weekly basis, but depending on the given situation that may change on a daily basis in terms of skill mastery, change in personnel, or any other issues that may arise.”

The challenge is not just in the physical demands of pre-

season workouts, in-season practice, game day competition, and off-season training but also in terms of team camaraderie, an area of focus each and every year for Cipolla’s team.

“We try to build in team activities every day to promote cohesion and chemistry. My assistant coaches and I want to create a culture, a pattern of behavior that will lead to maximum performance, a sense of pride, and respect for what the Endicott field hockey program stands for.”

Leadership, however, won’t just come from the coaching staff.

“This team will be led by a core of seniors with a junior class that has been the backbone of our team for the past two seasons. We have some young players who are ready to make an impact as leaders and as solid statistical contributors.”

It is an exciting time to be a part of the field hockey program at Endicott as the team is coming off their second straight conference championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. The team is 79-44 (.642) overall in six seasons under Cipolla with an even more impressive 41-11 (.788) mark in Commonwealth Coast Conference games. Cipolla was named CCC Coach of the Year in 2008 and has coached 30 all-conference, 22 academic all-confer-ence, and 11 all-region players during her tenure at Endicott thus far.
