Northeast Conference Fans:

Welcome to the 2010 Northeast Conference Softball Championship!

The NEC looks forward to an exciting championship here at Fairleigh Dickinson University, hosted by Long Island.We hope it is a memorable experience for fans and student-athletes alike. During the next two days, [#] talentedplayers on four different teams will compete in a double-elimination tournament. By Satday evening, we will knowwho has claimed the 2010 title in the Northeast Conference Softball Championship.

Now in its 29th season, the NEC consists of 11 institutions of higher learning located throughout five states. TheConference is committed to providing opportunities for student-athletes to achieve their fullest potential both inathletic competition and in the classroom, as well as becoming an NCAA Division I leader for athletic success,academic achievement and integrity, sportsmanship, equity and diversity, community partnership and nationalengagement. NEC member institutions include Central Connecticut State, Fairleigh Dickinson, Long Island, Monmouth, Mount St. Mary's,Quinnipiac, Robert Morris, Sacred Heart, St. Francis (NY), Saint Francis (PA) and Wagner. Bryant University will become a core memberof the NEC in 2012 upon completion of the five-year NCAA Division I reclassification period.

NEC institutions span a number of diverse locations, from the urban bustle of Brooklyn, NY to the rural settings of Loretto, PA andEmmitsburg, MD, to the beaches and shoreline of West Long Branch, NJ. But when it comes to intercollegiate athletics, the goal of the NECis consistent - to provide its members the opportunity to participate in quality competition at the Division I level while operating programsthat are fully integrated in the academic mission of each institution. The NEC's commitment to academic excellence has translated intonational recognition for both individual student-athletes and the league's member institutions as a whole. NEC student-athletes consis-tently graduate at well above the national average and its athletic programs continue to be honored for their Graduation Success Rate(GSR) and Academic Progress Rate (APR) figures. On a conference-wide level, more than 2,000 student-athletes qualified for the NECAcademic Honor Roll in 2008-09, nearly a 25 percent increase from the previous year. Saint Francis (PA) posted the highest GPA in theconference to claim the NEC Institutional Academic Award for the first time.

On the field of play, the NEC has enjoyed many successes both regionally and nationally, competing in 21 NCAA championships each year.The future of the NEC looks even brighter with new facilities and improvements recently completed, under construction or in planningstages at a majority of the league's member institutions.

We also would like to thank you, the fans, for your support and tremendous enthusiasm of the sport of softball.Enjoy the action!

Sincerely,

Noreen Morris, Commissioner

Message To SpectatorsNortheast Conference member institutions value the principles of sportsmanship and the ideal ofpursuing victory with honor in intercollegiate athletics. The Conference believes that athleticsshould be conducted in a way that reflects positively on the individual participants and institutions.The essential elements of sportsmanship and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept ofcharacter building and seven core principles: respect, responsibility, fairness, honesty, integrity,caring and civility. The highest potential of sports is achieved when competition reflects theseseven principles.

The NEC has communicated this message through public service announcements that air on televisedfootball and basketball games, public address announcements at all events and signage on eachmember campus. The Conference also implemented a new Team Sportsmanship Award program in2008-09 to recognize those teams and student-athletes who adhere to the principles of sportsman-ship and pursue victory with honor. Saint Francis (PA) finished the year with a league-high sixsportsmanship awards, which are voted on by student-athletes and coaches following the conclusionof each athletic season.

In 2009-10, the NEC is partnering with the NCAA on a "Respect" campaign to address sportsmanship and fan behavior issues through education,communication and enforcement when problems arise.
