ofstra University provides a dynamic college experience tailored for innately ambitious, outcome-oriented individuals. Students find their edge at Hofstra, through small classes, a faculty whose primary concern is teaching, cutting edge technology, extensive library resources, internships, and special educational programs that appeal to their interests and abilities. The Hofstra community is driven, dynamic and energetic, helping students find and focus their strengths to prepare them for a successful future. In its relatively short history, Hofstra has established itself as a world-class institution of higher education and cultural enterprise. Each academic year, the Hofstra campus and the programs offered grow and change to meet the demands of our students and our community. Hofstra opened in 1935 as a commuter school with all classes and offices housed in one building. Since those early days, Hofstra has evolved into an international institution with a student body hailing from 46 states and territories, and 65 countries around the world. The beautiful campus is an accredited arboretum with 113 buildings on 240 acres. There are approximately 4,200 students living on campus, and Hofstra offers them and all students an extensive array of academic and social activities. Additionally, Hofstra’s close proximity to Manhattan means that students have easy access to the wondrous cultural, social and career offerings of the city. What has remained consistent throughout the years, however, is the sense of community on campus, the eagerness of our students to learn and the commitment of the Hofstra faculty and administration to provide a challenging education that encourages the pursuit of lifelong learning. The Colleges and Schools of the University are: Hofstra College of Liberal Arts

and Sciences, Frank G. Zarb School of Business, New College of Hofstra, School of Communication, School of Education and Allied Human Services, School of Law, School for University Studies, University College for Continuing Education, Honors College and Saturday College. Bachelor’s degrees are offered in 140 areas of study. Graduate degrees are offered, including Ph.D., Ed.D., Psy.D., Au.D., and J.D. degrees, advanced certificates and professional diplomas, in more than 150 programs of study. In October 2007, Hofstra joined with North Shore-LIJ Health System in announcing plans to establish a medical school on the University campus. The new school, which is expected to enroll its first students in 2011, pending preliminary accreditation with the Liaison Committee on Medical Education and requisite New York State approval, will be the first allopathic (MD) medical school in Nassau County and the first in New York state since 1963. In November 2007, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced that it had selected Hofstra to be the site of the third and final debate of the 2008 presidential election campaign, scheduled for October 15. The debate provides a unique opportunity to learn about the issues in the election, history and presidential politics. To maximize this

opportunity, Hofstra launched Educate ’08, a comprehensive, in-depth series of lectures, academic coursework, events and public programs that places the debate in context. A month earlier, Hofstra announced that it had awarded its first Guru Nanak Interfaith Prize to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. The new international award, which recognizes efforts at interfaith dialogue, received 75 nominations for individuals and organizations from around the world. The Dalai Lama is expected to visit Hofstra in 2009. Hofstra University Honors College welcomed its first class in 2001 and proved to be an immediate success, not only with University faculty and administrators, but also among the 93 inaugural students. Every fall since, the number of entering freshmen has increased substantially. Hofstra’s School of Communication is one of the largest, most advanced non-commercial television facilities in the East. Students take classes and work in Dempster Hall, a sophisticated television production/postproduction facility with two broadcast-quality studios and control rooms; two advanced online video edit suites; two Avid non-linear digital editing systems and several cuts-only video work stations. Two satellite dishes are available with one dish providing special news feeds for the broadcast journalism room, which also has access to Associated Press, LexisNexis and Dow Jones services. In addition, the facility is capable of broadcasting studentproduced programming to the entire campus on our own cable channels. Also located here is the University’s radio station (WRHU/88.7FM), audio production studios, a film/video screening room, film editing rooms, a computer laboratory, a speech performance studio and a large dance studio. Hofstra’s C.V. Starr Hall offers academic facilities that are among the most technologically advanced in the nation. Every seat in every classroom allows students direct access to the Internet and Hofstra network, including the resources of Hofstra’s Axinn Library.

ichard Nuttall, a former professional soccer player in England and a former member of the Long Island Rough Riders, is entering his 20th season as Hofstra University Head Soccer Coach. Nuttall has guided the Pride to a 178-157-35 record in his 19 seasons and has built the program into one of the most competitive in the Northeast. Prior to his arrival in Hempstead, the soccer program had posted five losing seasons in nine years, including a 3-9-6 season in 1988. Hofstra has had just seven losing seasons in the last 18 years and four of those came during the first four years of Nuttall’s tenure. Nuttall’s teams have finished .500 or better 11 times in the last 14 seasons, including a streak of seven straight at one point – a remarkable feat considering that Hofstra has been in three conferences (East Coast, America East, Colonial) during that time, each more competitive than the last. In addition, Hofstra Soccer players have flourished under Nuttall’s guidance, as several are either playing professionally or are members of their respective National teams. The 2007 season was a bit of a rebuilding year, though Nuttall kept his squad in contention for a CAA playoff berth until late in the year and finished with a 6-5 mark in league play. The Pride was especially tough at home, compiling a 6-2-1 record at the Hofstra Soccer Stadium. In 2006 Nuttall led Hofstra to its third consecutive Colonial Athletic Association championship and NCAA Division I

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY

Tournament berth, making Hofstra one of only three schools in the nation with three straight conference titles from 2004 to 2006 (joining Western Illinois and New Mexico). The Pride finished the 2006 campaign with a 12-6-3 record, and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament with a 2-0 home win over Providence in front of 1,450 fans at Hofstra Soccer Stadium. The Pride finished the 2005 season with a 14-5-3 record, tying for the most wins in school history at the Division I level, while also earning its highest ranking in school history at #13 in the final National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll. Hofstra earned its CAA championship with a 1-0 win over #7 Old Dominion in the championship game, the highest ranked team that the Pride has ever defeated. Nuttall was one of eight coaches to earn Regional Coach of the Year honors from the NSCAA. During the 2004 campaign, Nuttall guided the Pride to

Nuttall, who moved to Long Island permanently in 1988 after spending summers in the United States since 1983, taught physical education at North Shore High School. He is also a partner in the highly successful NOGA summer soccer camp on Long Island and is active in working with many Long Island communities.

one of their most memorable seasons in school history. After an up-and-down regular season, Hofstra rallied to win the Colonial Athletic Association championship with a dramatic postseason run, outscoring their three opponents (all of which were nationally ranked) by a combined 4-0. Hofstra then went on to receive its first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament berth (and second overall) and defeated nationally ranked Seton Hall, 2-1, in the opening round, before finally seeing its run end with a loss at third-seeded Maryland. That loss snapped a six-game win streak, with five of those six wins coming against teams that were nationally ranked. The Pride finished 2004 with a 12-10-1 record. The 1997 campaign saw Nuttall’s lead the then-Flying Dutchmen to a 14-4-3 record, including a 9-0 mark in America East play. The team was the top seed in the postseason tournament, but lost a close game to defending champion Boston University in the finals. Nuttall was named Division I Coach of the Year in Region II by the NSCAA. In 1999 Nuttall led Hofstra to an early season national ranking, before finishing with a 9-9 record. The 2000 season saw Nuttall lead the Pride back to the America East Championship game, a 2-1 overtime loss to Vermont, and an 11-6-3 overall record. In 2001, Hofstra’s last season in the America East Conference, Nuttall led his team to a 9-9-1 record and a berth in the America East Tournament for the fourth time in five years. Hofstra joined the Colonial Athletic Association in 2002 and posted a 10-7-1 overall record and a 3-6 conference mark that saw the Pride lose four one-goal games. After a sub-.500 season in 2003, the Pride began their run of three consecutive CAA championships in 2004.

Nuttall and his wife, Christine, reside in New Hyde Park, New York, with their son, Jack (9) and daughters, Caroline (7) and Grace (1).

Hofstra’s primary recruiter, Suskiewicz is also involved in all aspects of the program including scheduling, practice and game planning and implementation, coordinating travel plans, organizing off-season training, alumni activities, fundraising and various administrative tasks. He joined the Pride after serving for three years as an assistant coach at Bucknell University, where he also helped the Bison achieve unprecedented success. Bucknell set school records with 13 wins and 10 shutouts in 2002, and then finished the 2003 season undefeated in Patriot League play (5-0-2) for the first time in school history. The 24 combined wins the Bison had in 2002 and 2003 were the most wins in program history over a two-year period. Suskiewicz also helped Bucknell tie for the third best singleseason improvement in the nation in 2002, a six-and-a-half game improvement over its 2001 campaign. Bucknell also had the fifth best team defense in the country in 2002 (0.62 goals against average), as well as the sixth best shutout percentage in the nation (10 shutouts in 19 games). Bucknell had success off the field under Suskiewicz’s guidance as well, as its 3.31 team grade point average in 2002-03 was the second highest in the country in Division I. The Bison received a National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Team Academic Award for its efforts in the classroom. Prior to coaching at Bucknell, Suskiewicz served as an assistant coach at Washington & Lee University, where he helped his team to a 19-2 record, the best in the 56-year history of the program. The 19 wins shattered the previous school record of 12, while the program also earned a No. 8 national ranking in the final NCAA Division III poll. His squad captured the Old Dominion Athletic Conference championship, earned its first-ever NCAA Tournament berth and advanced to the regional finals.

he Hofstra Men’s Soccer team won three straight Colonial Athletic Association titles from 2004 to 20066, but suffered through an injury-plagued season last fall and was unable to make it four in a row. This season Hofstra will be trying to ascend back to the top of the CAA standings and return to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in the last five years. The Pride will face two primary obstacles: a young team with only two seniors on the roster (defender Corey Gudmundson and forward Justin Flood), and the most difficult schedule in school history. Hofstra’s non-conference slate includes three teams that ended the 2007 regular season ranked in the top 10 in the country (#6 SMU, #8 Virginia Tech and #9 Tulsa), as well as 25th ranked Virginia. Despite having only two seniors, Hofstra will have a good amount of experience in its lineup with four juniors who are in their third years as starters, as well as sophomore forward Johannes Grahn (10 goals in 2007). A deep, talented recruiting class will also give 20th year head coach Richard Nuttall and his staff plenty of options at every position on the field. Here is a position-by-position look at the 2008 Hofstra Men’s Soccer team:

Forward After the graduation of AllAmerican Michael Justin Flood Todd following the 2006 season, Hofstra entered last fall with a huge void in the goal-scoring department. Grahn, though, stepped right in and had an immediate impact, scoring 10 goals in his freshman campaign – the most for a Pride freshman since 1995. Grahn had the first three Hofstra goals of the season, and was named the CAA Player of the Week after back-to-back two-goal games in wins over UNC Wilmington and Georgia State. Flood is in his third season at Hofstra after transferring from Boston College and has played both the midfield and forward

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY

positions. He is an excellent setup man, who can create space off the dribble and find Grahn or other finishers open in the box. Last season Flood scored one goal and added three assists. Sophomore John Alberda also saw action in every game last year and is one of the most skilled players Demont Mitchell on the roster. The coaching staff expects him to emerge as another goal-scorer in the Pride’s offensive arsenal after finding the back of the net once as a freshman. Adding to the options up front is a pair of players with international experience. Sophomore Demont Mitchell played on the Bahamas National Team this past year in World Cup qualifying after appearing in seven games for the Pride as a freshman. Incoming freshman Brett Carrington, meanwhile, has played on the Barbados National Team.

Midfield Hofstra has two of its midfield Rory McCrea spots solidified with the return of Rory McCrea and Rob Youhill for their junior years. McCrea has been a two-year starter at the defensive midfield position and should handle that role fulltime this fall. An intelligent player with a knack for winning 50-50 balls, McCrea is a vital cog in Hofstra’s lineup. Youhill, meanwhile, was a second team All-CAA player last season after tallying seven assists. His speed and ability to serve balls into the box make

Rob Youhill

the Pride especially dangerous in transition.

Incoming freshman Gareth James from New Zealand is a talented attacking midfielder who could get a long look from the coaching staff this preseason. Freshman Taylor Diem is also expected to be a valuable addition to the roster this fall due to his ability to play on the left side.

Defense Senior Corey Gudmundson will be the team leader this season from his center back position, where he is entering his fourth season as a starter. A rugged defender with the ability to mark one-on-one and win balls in the air, Gudmundson will be asked to be more of a vocal leader this year. Juniors Richard Martinez and Jamal Neptune are in their third seasons as starters and help give the Pride an experienced back line. Neptune has played on the outside both seasons at Hofstra, where his speed and ability to get forward has helped the Pride generate numerous scoring chances over the last two years. Martinez moved from outside back to center back last season and made the Puerto Rico National Team earlier this year, joining the squad for World Cup qualifying and earning five CAPS. Martinez also contributed to the Pride’s offense with four assists. Sophomore Joseph Amendolare began last season as a starter before suffering an injury, and could move back into the

Hofstra also has several new faces that will look to earn roles on the Hofstra defensive unit. Junior Brian Gundich redshirted last year after graduating Corey Gudmundson from Louisburg College and has a year in the Hofstra system already under his belt. Sophomore Erik Rengifo transferred from Division II Molloy College and is a former member of the Richard Martinez United States Under-18 team. Freshmen Matt Cook (6-0) and Thomas Bekas (511) give Hofstra plenty of size to utilize on defense. The Pride has several players who can play either in the back or in the midfield, which will help give the coaching staff plenty of options as it tinkers with its lineup.

Goalkeeper

2008 Men’s Soccer Media Guide | Outlook

The other midfield spots should be wide-open to competition this year. Returning players Bill Pinto, Paul Alexander, Steven Ehrichs, Kevin Mira and Evan Jaep saw playing time last season off the bench and will be looking to increase their roles this year. Pinto started eight of 18 games played and contributed an assist, while Alexander appeared in nine contests. A member of Barbados’ National Player pool, Alexander should have benefited from playing against highlevel competition in the offseason. Ehrichs, who played in 12 games in 2007 and tallied one goal, also gained international experience this past year, earning two Caps as a member of the Puerto Rico National Team. Mira saw action in eight contests last season, while Jaep played in nine games in 2007.

starting lineup as an outside back. A relentless defender with a strong work rate, Amendolare will be looking to solidify his role on the Pride’s back four.

Hofstra starter Tom Johansen graduated from last season’s team, but sophomore James Winters is in the fold to help replace him. Winters went 5-1 as a starter in 2006 when Johansen was injured before red-shirting last season, and he has the experience needed to step in and make a seamless transition for the Pride. Two incoming freshmen will also look to compete for playing time, including All-Connecticut goalkeeper Greg Cumpstone and local product Adam Janowski of Longwood High School on Long Island.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS JACK HAYES

J

ack Hayes is in his fifth year as director of athletics at Hofstra University in 2008-09. Hayes was appointed by Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz as the University’s director of athletics on October 4, 2004. Hayes came to Hofstra after serving as an associate director of athletics at the University of Connecticut for three years.   Hayes, the eighth director of athletics at Hofstra, oversees Hofstra’s 18 Division I teams, an athletic administration of more than 70 professional staff members, and 430 student-athletes.  Hayes’ proven expertise in enhancing academic and athletic success of studentathletes, strategic planning, fund-raising, marketing, university relations, facility enhancement, budgetary management, and NCAA compliance complements Hofstra University’s athletic department in its quest to further enhance its athletic program, and assist Hofstra’s student-athletes both on and off the field. The Hofstra Athletic program has flourished under Hayes’ leadership, winning 17 CAA Championships and making 22 postseason

Hayes has placed a significant emphasis on fundraising during his tenure. Pride Club membership reached all-time highs, both in terms of the number of contributors and funds raised as the organization topped the $1 million mark for the first time in the 19-year history of the organization. Resources generated through fund-raising efforts have been used to enhance programs and facilities available to student-athletes. Recent initiatives include the construction of Hofstra’s new field hockey stadium, as well as the replacement of the artificial turf in Shuart Stadium. In the last three years there have also been renovations to the study lab in Margiotta Hall and construction of a new academic study area in the Physical Fitness Center. Active on a national level, Hayes has served on the NCAA Division I Lacrosse Committee since September 2006.

2008 Men’s Soccer Media Guide | Hofstra Symbols and Heritage 24

The Symbols of Hofstra University The Shield Logo

In 2005 Hofstra introduced a new logo as part of a University-wide re-imaging. Both the University’s logo as well as the Pride logo were designed by advertising agency Powell New York, a full-service branding and marketing agency, noted as one of the ten firms to watch in 2005 in Advertising Age.

The new University logo features an “H” within a shield design. Hofstra University has always been known for both a tradition of academic excellence and a willingness to evolve to meet the needs of students and the greater society. This shield represents the University’s commitment to our heritage and a tradition of academic excellence, while the dynamic representation of the H within the shield embodies the evolutionary, changing nature of the University. Hofstra University has both honored its traditions and heritage while embracing changing disciplines, using new technology and remaining relevant to scholarly pursuits and the demands of industry.

The Seal

The Hofstra seal was designed from the royal Dutch emblem by art instructor Constant Van de Wall. The seal is modeled on the coat of arms of the House of Orange-Nassau. The round seal includes the coat of arms, flanked by lions on either side. A lion also stands in the center of the coat of arms, holding a sword in its right claw and a bundle of seven arrows, which represent the seven provinces of Holland, in its left. The seal also carries the motto of the House of Orange-Nassau in Old French: “Je maintiendray” (I stand steadfast). In 1988 one of the two lions on the seal was officially replaced with a lioness. The Hofstra seal is still in use today, though not as a logo. The seal will be affixed to formal documents, and used for official purposes such as commencement, convocations, and official University functions.

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY

The Pride

Hofstra’s athletic teams are officially known as the Pride, providing our teams with a strong, consistent image that resonates with the Hofstra community. The new Hofstra Athletics logo consists of a graphic mark of a male and female lion in powerful, synchronized motion with the word mark of the Hofstra Pride or the specific sports team. This logo will be the only one used by Hofstra Athletics. The Hofstra Pride refers to a pack of lions, male and female, which work together towards a common goal and symbolize determination and strength. The Pride conveys both the teamwork and togetherness that is a trait of lions living in prides, who have a close bond and work together for the good of the entire group. The teamwork evident in prides is a trait of Hofstra’s studentathletes, who support each other in furtherance of a common goal, while working tirelessly to represent their teams and, in turn, the University. Lions also possess speed, tenacity, and agility, and are relentless in their pursuit of a goal, which are traits our studentathletes demonstrate both on and off the field. The first consistent use of the word “Pride” relating to athletics was in 1989 when the University’s athletic booster club was founded and called itself The Pride Club, which at the time simply referred to the pride that alumni and fans had for our teams. The Pride identity has progressed over the past decade in a more specific fashion than just the expression of a feeling. After one lion on the Hofstra seal was changed into a lioness to symbolize gender equity, the University mascots -- Kate and Willie Pride, a lioness and lion – were introduced. 

2008 Men’s Soccer Media Guide | Hofstra Symbols and Heritage

Hofstra’s Dutch Heritage Ties to Dutch heritage and the Netherlands began with William S. Hofstra, after whom the school is named and on whose property the University was started. William Hofstra died in 1932 and when his wife, Kate, died 16 months later, her will provided that their house, 15-acre estate, and bulk of her inheritance were to be used for a “public, charitable, benevolent, or scientific purpose” as a memorial to her husband. The idea for a college came from Truesdel Peck Calkins, former Hempstead superintendent of schools, who was then with New York University. He suggested that NYU might offer extension courses on the Hofstra property. Hofstra opened in September 1935, as a two-year extension branch of NYU; its official name was “Nassau College – Hofstra Memorial of New York University at Hempstead, Long Island.” When the doors opened, the sole building on campus was Hofstra’s mansion, which he had affectionately named the Netherlands after his homeland, and all classes were held there. The mansion, which houses administrative offices, is now the center of Hofstra’s 240-acre campus, and has been renamed Hofstra Hall.

H

ofstra University is committed to the pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. The University views participation in intercollegiate athletics as benefiting the student-athlete in an educationally enhancing experience beyond any other opportunity available. Hofstra also realizes the time commitment made by student-athletes and has committed the facilities and resources to support all students. The University Tutorial Program (UTP) provides free tutoring in every subject area to any Hofstra student. Students are able to obtain up to 1 1/2 hours of individual tutorial assistance per week for each subject. They are also able to utilize the various help labs on campus, which specialize in providing assistance in writing, business and QM, and biology and chemistry. In addition to this service, student-athletes are assigned an academic advisor who helps address the various needs of student‑athletes. The academic advisor emphasizes four areas in their efforts to ensure the academic success of Hofstra’s student-athletes. Area one is academic counseling. Services are provided in the areas of academic planning, career planning, personal counseling, and campus and community referrals. The counselor also meets with prospective student‑athletes, at the coach’s request, to share the many benefits of a Hofstra University education. Area two is academic advising. In an effort to ease the demand on the Office of Advisement, the academic advisor also advises first‑year and undecided student‑athletes. Area three is academic monitoring. The UTP counselor monitors the academic progress of student‑athletes to ensure compliance with Hofstra University, NCAA and conference regulations. The counselor’s regular communication with the faculty and coaches provide an opportunity for early intervention should academic difficulties arise.

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY

Area four is study halls. The University Tutorial Program provides all athletic study halls with tutors in various subjects and assesses the needs of individual student‑athletes to provide the most effective study environment. The assessment tool administered by the UTP is also used to provide various enrichment seminars for the student‑athletes such as time management, writing skills, campus resources, and surviving the college transition. In the fall of 1999 a computer lab opened on the second floor of Margiotta Hall. Funded in part by proceeds from the Joe Gardi Golf Open, the state-of-the-art computer lab and learning center features a projection system and 18 computer workstations, which are connected to the University network for easy research access to the Internet. The room was refurbished in 2005 with new furniture and computers. In addition to the Margiotta Hall computer lab, a new study area was constructed in 2006, located in the Physical Fitness Center, which features numerous computer workstations and office space for University academic advisement personnel.

T

he Hofstra Soccer program places a great deal of emphasis on the academic development of its players in addition to their on-field performance. In recent years many players have personified the meaning of student-athlete.

Michael Todd, a 2007 graduate who majored in exercise science, was a CoSIDA Academic All-American in 2005 and 2006, and was also selected to the NSCAA Scholar All-America steam. In 2004 he was the CAA Men’s Soccer Scholar-Athlete of the Year and a second team CoSIDA Academic All-District selection. A four-time All-CAA selection, Todd led the Pride in scoring in each of his seasons at Hofstra. Matthias Gumbrecht, who graduated in May 2006, was a CoSIDA Academic All-District selection and holds Hofstra career records for games played as a keeper (69) and career shutouts (23). In addition to those accolades, last season six student-athletes were recipients of the CAA Commissioner’s Academic Award.

Michael Todd was an Academic All-American in 2005 and 2006.

Arni Gunnarsson was a first team Academic All-American in 2002 and 2003. Matthias Gumbrecht earned Academic All-District accolades in 2006.

hrough a comprehensive athletic training program, Hofstra University student-athletes are provided excellent health care during their attendance at the University. A coordinated effort between the University Health and Wellness Center, the Athletic Department and outside health care providers ensures every student-athlete the best medical attention possible. University student-athletes have direct access to a myriad of health care services. Managing the coverage of every practice and competition event is Hofstra University’s athletic training staff, which is led by sixthyear Head Athletic Trainer Evan Malings and features eight full-time athletic trainers and numerous student athletic trainers. The athletic trainers provide injury management, rehabilitation and treatment to the entire Athletic program. Utilizing three state-of-theart athletic training rooms, these professionals work tirelessly to ensure the safe participation of Hofstra’s student-athletes and to return injured athletes to play quickly and safely. Supporting the athletic trainers is team physician Dr. Damion Martins. Dr. Martins, a physician with Pro Health Care, Inc. in Lake Success, New York, is in his sixth year on Hofstra’s medical team. Martins experience in the sports medicine field includes serving as team physician for the University of Maryland, University of Maryland-Baltimore County and Coppin State University athletic departments. He was also on the medical staff of the National Football League’s Baltimore Ravens.

but offers the durability and cost benefits of synthetic fields. FieldTurf is a safe alternative, resulting in a documented reduction of sports injuries. The sand and rubber infill system is the biggest technical development that the sport surfacing industry has seen in the last 25 years. This patented technology sets FieldTurf apart from all other sports surfaces.

T

he Hofstra Men’s and Women’s Soccer Teams play at the Hofstra University Soccer Stadium, located on the University’s north campus, adjacent to the Hofstra Physical Fitness Center. The Stadium, constructed in 2003 through a partnership with the New York Jets, features a 120-yard by 74-yard FieldTurf surface, stadium lighting, metal bleachers the length of the field, the Gorman Memorial Gateway and the Hofstra Soccer Walls of Honor. Since its opening, the Pride is 27-11-4 at the Stadium.

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY

“We are very pleased to be able to add to our campus a first-rate soccer facility with lights and seating for approximately 1,600 spectators,” said Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz. “This facility will enhance our soccer programs, and will also permit us to host exhibitions and other community contests. We are most grateful to the New York Jets for their generosity in making this facility possible.” The FieldTurf system, which was installed by Landtek of Amityville, New York, replicates a natural grass surface,

In June 2001 the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the worldwide governing body for the sport of soccer, gave its official recommendation to the artificial grass FieldTurf installation at Boston University’s Nickerson Field for international competition and domestic league play. The historic ruling, the first and only certification of an artificial surface in the world at this time, means that venues with FieldTurf can be used for all preliminary competition matches for the FIFA World Cup and Olympic Football Tournaments as well as for professional league play. There have been more than 500 FieldTurf installations worldwide in recent years. The facility is lit with a system from the Iowa-based Musco Lighting Company. Musco is recognized as a world-class leader in sports lighting with lighting systems installed around the globe. A leader in developing sports-lighting technology – including solutions for permanent and temporary lighting, and sports facility management – Musco offers innovative systems,

a comprehensive package of services, and decades of experience.

The facility is outfitted with a seating system from the Southern Bleacher Company of Graham, Texas. Since 1946, Southern Bleacher has set the standard of excellence in the design and manufacturing of sports stadiums and entertainment venues. Southern Bleacher products grace professional baseball diamonds and soccer fields, college campuses, school districts, NASCAR tracks and rodeo arenas across the United States.

NEW YORK JETS PRACTICE BUBBLE The Pride has use of the New York Jets indoor practice bubble. The 50-yard turf field gives Hofstra a unique environment that many teams in the Northeast do not have. The practice bubble is located on the North Campus, behind the Mack Sports Complex.

The Hofstra Soccer Stadium served as the home site of first round NCAA Tournament games in 2005 and 2006, as well as hosting numerous high school playoff contests. The stadium also serves as the practice field for the Jets during their public preseason camp workouts. MACK SPORTS COMPLEX WEIGHT ROOM Hofstra Soccer student-athletes conduct their weight training in the spacious, 3,024 square-foot Mack Sports Complex Weight Room. Located on the lower lever of the complex, the weight room houses a wide variety of strength and conditioning equipment including free weights, Hammer Strength and 12 pieces of cardiovascular equipment. The team trains under the watchful eye of Assistant Strength Coach Joe Makovec, who is in his fourth year on the Hofstra staff, and focuses on a blend of Olympic and power lifting that aims to increase strength and overall power development.

THE GORMAN MEMORIAL GATEWAY The Gorman Memorial Gateway, named in honor of former Hofstra Soccer player Frank Gorman, who died tragically on January 5, 2003, was officially dedicated on Sunday, September 17, 2006. The Gorman Memorial Gateway project included a gated entrance to the Hofstra Soccer Stadium and ticket windows, as well as a Hofstra Men’s and Women’s Soccer Walls of Fame, the Sergio Villanueva Memorial Garden and a picnic area behind the east side goal. Future plans include alumni bleachers located behind the east goal. Donors to the Gorman Memorial Gateway Fund have their names inscribed on a plaque at the Gateway entrance to the Hofstra University Soccer Stadium.

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY

The CAA encompasses five of the nation’s nine largest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Atlanta. The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 12 national players of the year, 11 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Even more impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 20 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 200708, the CAA had five ESPN the Magazine Academic All-Americans and more than 1,700 of our 4,000 student-athletes received the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport. The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes six of the nation’s top 25 media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (7), Washington, D.C. (8), Atlanta (9) and Baltimore (24). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 19.7 million. The CAA currently sponsors 22 sports with the addition of a 12-team football league in 2007. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. In 2007-08, 26 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 46 student-athletes received AllAmerica honors. The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with at least three teams advancing to post-season play for the past five years. Last season, conference champion George Mason earned its third NCAA Tournament trip since 2001, VCU received its fourth post-season berth in five seasons with a spot in the NIT and Old Dominion reached the quarterfinals of the inaugural CBI for its fourth consecutive postseason appearance. In 2006, George Mason became the first

mid-major program since 1979 to reach the Final Four, knocking off powerhouses Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut along the way. The Patriots were ranked No. 8 in the final ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll, which was the highest ever for a CAA team. The CAA has also had at least three women’s basketball teams participate in post-season play for the past three years. Perennial power Old Dominion, which has won three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and was national runner-up in 1997, captured its 17th consecutive CAA title last season and reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002. James Madison made its third consecutive post-season appearance and advanced to the third round of the WNIT, while VCU advanced to the second round of the WNIT in just its second post-season trip in school history. The conference also excels in many other sports. CAA squads have combined to win 10 field hockey national titles since the championship began in 1981. Delaware and Towson have each reached the Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship. For the first time, three women’s soccer teams reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2007 and at least one men’s soccer team has advanced to the final 16 of the NCAA Championship in five of the last six years. Hofstra finished 15th overall at the NCAA Wrestling Championship and William & Mary placed 15th nationally in men’s cross country. In baseball, the CAA had 23 players chosen in the 2008 Major League draft, which was the second-highest total in league history. Hofstra won its NCAArecord 11th-straight conference title in softball and reached the NCAA regional finals. Individually, the W&M women’s tennis duo of Megan Moulton-Levy and Katarina Zoricic reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Doubles Championship in 2008 to earn All-America status for the second straight season, and Georgia State golfer Joel Sjoholm placed 13th overall at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship.

CAA member institutions are committed to excellence in the classroom. The Colonial Academic Alliance was created in 2002 by the league’s presidents with a goal of expanding their partnership to all aspects of university life outside of intercollegiate athletics. Among the programs already established are an undergraduate research conference, coordination of study abroad programs and granting visiting academic status to student-athletes traveling to an away contest so that they have access to libraries, academic resource centers and computer labs. In 2002, two faculty members from CAA institutions were awarded academia’s most coveted distinction – the Nobel Prize. John B. Fenn, a research professor in the Department of Chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University, received the Nobel Prize for chemistry, and Vernon Smith, a professor of economics and law at George Mason University, shared the Nobel Prize in economic sciences. Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. The conference traces its roots back to 1983 when three of its current membersGeorge Mason University, James Madison University, and the College of William and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, the United States Naval Academy and the University of Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC South). During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquired two new members (the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and American University) and decided to form a new association. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985. Charter members George Mason, James Madison, UNC Wilmington and William and Mary were joined by Old Dominion University in 1991 and by Virginia Commonwealth University in 1995. The conference added the University of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra University and Towson University in 2001. Georgia State University and Northeastern University became members of the conference on July 1, 2005. From all-star athletes to Nobel Prize winning faculty, the CAA takes great pride in producing performers who stand out both on the playing field and in the classroom.
