4 SIX NCAA APPEARANCES • THREE-TIME NE-10 CHAMPIONS

The Charger football program was reestablished in 2009 and the program’s winning tradition began right where it left off. The Chargers won three-straight Northeast-10 Conference Championships from 2010-12 and advanced to the NCAA tournament in both 2011 and 2012.

Afterafive-yearhiatus,the2009seasonmarkedthefootballprogram’s32ndseasonandwasthefirstyearsincetheconclusionofthe2003campaignthatUNHfieldedateam.Thereturnoffootballwasofgreatinterest and excitement to University of New Haven students, alumni, fans and friends of athletics. Charger football has a storied tradition of gridiron success, including six NCAA Division II playoff appearances. The program posts an all-time record of 214-148-5 in 36 seasons, including a 184-101-1 mark after moving to the Division II level in 1982.

When the Charger football team advanced to the NCAA Championship game in 1997, UNH was at that time the smallest school in NCAA history to play for a national title. UNH also advancedtotheNCAAsemifinalsin1992andthequarterfinalsin1993,1995and2011.

In addition to team success, many individuals in UNH Football history have earned national and regional accolades. UNH had 126 All-New England award winners in 19 seasons between 1983 and 2001, and 63 All-ECAC picks during the same time period. Perhaps the program’s most famous alum is running back Roger Graham, who won Division II’s most prestigious award - the Harlon Hill Trophy - after leading the NCAA in scoring and ranking second in rushing

in1993.UNHhashadaplayerfinishinthetopfourintheHarlonHillvotingonfiveoccasions.

UNHhasaproudtraditionofcoachesthathavegoneontofindgreatsuccess in the professional and college ranks as well. Tony Sparano, who led UNH to the 1997 national championship game and is second all-time in victories at UNH, is currently the assistant head coach and offensive line for the NFL’s Oakland Raiders. Chris Palmer (coach, 1986-87) has been an NFL head coach, NFL quarterback coach and most recently the offensive coordinator for the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. The program’s all-time wins leader, Mark Whipple (coach, 1988-93), piloted UMass to a Division I-AA national championship in 1998 and

won a Super Bowl as quarterbacks coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. After spending seven seasons in the NFL, Whipple returned to UMass for the 2014 season in hopes to return to Minutemen to the national spotlight.

In five short seasons back on the gridiron,the Chargers have made their presence known across the collegiate football world. New Haven was ranked as high as No. 3 in the AFCA Coaches Poll in 2012, after winning their third-straight conference championship and advancing to the NCAA Division II playoffs. Former head coach Peter Rossomando was named the 2012 Liberty Mutual Division II National Coach of the Year for his sportsmanship, integrity, responsibility and excellence on and off the field. Additionally, numerous student-athletes earned postseason accolades and four have been invited to NFL training camps.

Sporting a large Charger logo in the center, the renovation was made possible by a gift from alum-nus Ralph F. DellaCamera Jr., managing member and CIO of Del-laCamera Capital Management LLC in Manhattan and a member of the university’s board of governors.

OnSaturday,September26,2009,thestadiumwasofficiallyded-icated in Ralph F. DellaCamera’s name. In front of a sell-out crowd, over3,500fansalsosawthefirstvictoryatthenewstadiumasthe Chargers pulled off a 23-18 win over Stonehill College.

After receiving turf improvements in 2008, a new press box and a cutting edge scoreboard were installed to improve upon the game environment at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium prior to the 2009 opener. Prior to the 2010 season, a one-of-a-kind video board was also installed at DellaCamera Stadium.

In three seasons on the blue and gold turf, New Haven has post-ed a 17-6 record. In 2011, the Chargers posted an undefeated 7-0recordathome.Theyearalsomarkedthefirsthomeplayoffgame for the Chargers who defeated Kutztown, 44-37, in front of a standing room only crowd. The Charger faithful showed their sup-port throughout the season as New Haven was one of just 12 Divi-sion II programs to draw 96-percent or more of stadium capacity.

Prior to the renovations in 2008 and 2009, the stadium was known as Robert B. Dodds Stadium. Dodds Stadium was a natu-ral grass surface and was home to the Charger Football program up until 2003. As the former home for the Charger Football team, Dodds Stadium saw a number of important games throughout its history.

DellaCamera Stadium is located on UNH’s North Campus, directly across Boston Post Road from UNH’s main campus. Parking for events at DellaCamera Stadium is available in the Charger Gym-nasium lot.

Under first-year head coach Chris Pincince, the Chargers will look to return to the NCAA postseason for the third time in four years this season. New Haven will be led by captains Joey Bradley, Herbens Antenor and Zach Guy as they battle a 10-game regular season schedule and the Northeast-10 Conference Championship week-end.

QUARTERBACKSJoey Bradley will begin his senior campaign as the Chargers’ primary signal caller. He spent time under center in three games as backup to standout Ronnie Nelson last fall, completing 4-of-9 passes for 54 yards and two touchdowns. Bradley, whose collegiate career also includes time at the University of North Dakota, started seven con-tests for the FCS squad in 2011.

Returners Ajee Patterson and Logan Hill and newcomers Tynen Greer and Davelle Hooks have all taken reps at quarterback for the Chargers this preseason, looking to lock down the second slot on the depth chart.

RUNNING BACKSTrevor Officer and Andre Anderson will lead the New Haven running game in 2014. Officer averaged 5.6 yards per carry en route to 254 yards on the ground last fall. He scored a rushing touchdown in three straight Charger wins in September, including a career-best 113-yard performance at Saint Anselm. Officer also caught five passes out of the backfield for 47 yards last fall.

Anderson racked up 213 rushing yards on 29 carries, picking up 7.3 yards per attempt in his first active campaign with the Blue and Gold. He scored touchdowns in the conference victories over Saint Anselm and Bentley and posted a rush of 10 yards or longer in six of the seven contests in which he had a carry. Anderson also took a screen pass for a 63-yard gain against Stonehill to highlight his five receptions for 94 yards in 2013.

New Haven’s stable of running backs also includes Lemar Thomas, who did not see game action during a redshirt season last fall, and Nikita Stallings, Marcus Fulton, Alec Maisonet and Trevon Moe.

WIDE RECEIVERSAn experienced receiving corps features five student-athletes that hauled in at least one two touchdown through the air in 2013. Ty Headen led all returning Chargers with 22 receptions last season, amassing 346 yards and four touchdowns. Courtney Moshood was New Haven’s most potent deep threat, racking up his 378 yards and four scores on just 10 grabs.

Henry Adegunle added two touchdowns in his first active campaign, while Roshawn Wilson and Rishawn Harris each collected one scor-ing catch.

DeeJay White will also enter the fray at wide receiver after appearing primarily on special teams last season – a campaign highlighted by scooping up a blocked punt and rumbling 30 yards for a touchdown at Southern Connecticut State. The versatile athlete also completed a 41-yard pass on the back end of an end around in his only passing attempt of 2013.

Adding depth to the position will be returners Brandon Fowler, Col-lin Hill and Brett Parenteau and newcomers Muna Anosike, Isaiah Austin, Devin Martin and Jahir Blanton.

TIGHT ENDSNew Haven will look to replace its top three tight ends, including current San Diego Charger Michael Flacco, in 2014. Steve Gaines lined up at tight end in four games last fall, while Jonathan Badyna will see his first collegiate action at the position. The third tight end on the Chargers’ roster is freshman Austin Pagano.

OFFENSIVE LINEThe Chargers’ offensive line paved the way for the highest-scoring team in the Northeast-10 last season. The 2013 New Haven squad posted 40.6 points per game while ranking second in the confer-ence in terms of yardage with 467.9 yards per contest and second in rushing with 209.7 yards on the ground per game. This fall, 2013 Second Team All-Northeast-10 honorees Zach Guy and Zach Voytek both return to the trenches alongside fellow starter Tim Moores.

Returners Najee Murchison, Jared Orazio and Logan Smith all con-tributed up front for New Haven last fall, and the Chargers will also regain the services of James Pusz, who appeared in nine games in 2012 before missing last season due to injury.

Jake Crisco, Shane Fisher, Eliot Leuber, Daniel Pomposello and Ste-phen Rossi will all return to the squad after their redshirt seasons last fall, while true freshman Elden Baker is the lone newcomer in the mix.

DEFENSIVE LINEThe Chargers boast plenty of experience up front, despite the loss of all four starters. Coming off the edge, Michael Intrieri made 21 tackles in 10 games last fall, including three sacks and five total tackles for loss, and Christian Bish took the field in nine games and totaled 16 stops. Ralph Jonathas also appeared in nine contests, totaling six stops, and Dave Calderon made nine tackles with three sacks and a blocked kick in seven games.

Moving from linebacker to defensive end is sophomore Cory Jasudo-wich. Jasudowich racked up 12 tackles in 2013 and blocked a pair of punts, both of which were returned for touchdowns, at Southern Connecticut State.

Senior Drake Harris will be charged with plugging the gap in the cen-ter of the defensive line. Harris had two sacks and 4.5 tackles for loss in total as a part of his 16 stops last fall. Harris will be joined in the interior by Chad Woodfine, who made 16 tackles with one sack and a blocked kick last season, and Javon Rodd. Rodd appeared in two games to begin his Charger career in 2013.

Additional depth on the line will come from redshirt freshman Mat-thew Rossi and newcomers Kevin Eristil, Rujel Henry, Vince Parrotta and Jalani Roman.

LINEBACKERSThe linebacker corps with be new to the Chargers’ starting lineup but boasting plenty of collegiate experience in 2014. Tyler Condit made 43 tackles bolstered a pair of double-digit tackle outings and Jaylen Johnson had a 12-tackle game – the Chargers’ 48-41 win at Merrimack – en route to 32 tackles in 2013. Sherwood Jonathas made 55 tackles for the Blue and Gold last season, including 12 stops against American International.

The middle of the defense will also feature two transfers poised to make an immediate impact. Matt Zakrzewski played three seasons at fullback in the Big 10 Conference for Indiana and will complete his eligibility as a linebacker for the Chargers while pursuing a grad-uate degree at New Haven. Tarik Pusey appeared in 18 games over the past two seasons for Division I FCS Rhode Island, capped by 26 stops for the Rams in 2013.

Rounding out the New Haven linebackers are returners Joscil Jack-son and Greg Pease and newcomers Tim Cox and C.J. Fitzpatrick.

SECONDARYThe New Haven defensive backfield returns three senior starters this fall. On the outside, Rodney Lanham made 51 tackles in 2013 with two interceptions and a team-leading 10 pass breakups. Safety Herbens Antenor topped all returning Chargers last season with 70 tackles in addition to a pick, and David Nooks had 54 tackles with seven pass breakups.

A fourth defensive mainstay, Jacob Weaver, will slide into a more versatile role in the secondary after starting 11 games as a part of the linebacker corps last season. Weaver had 50 tackles, including one sack and three total tackles for loss, and blocked a kick against Bentley on senior day.

The experience runs beyond the returning starters with Carlos Lo-zada, Kendall Marks and Matt Stevko. Lozada’s 2013 was highlight-ed by a two-interception day against Pace, while Marks returned a fumble for a touchdown in the win over Bentley. Stevko appeared in nine games last fall, making four tackles with a fumble recovery.

Darrius Pritchett and Tyjee Williams both return as well in 2014 to bring additional depth to the secondary.

Looking to make their first appearances for the Blue and Gold are returners Marcus Cudjoe, Jordan Dunn, Vail Grafton and Luis Mer-cer as well as six newcomers: Austin Allen, Stefano Bicknese, Mark Clements, Nigel Davis, Isiah Oliver, Matt Olivo and Miles Pease.

SPECIAL TEAMSThe First Team All-Northeast-10 punter last fall, Anthony Greenfield will reassume his duties as a specialist in his senior season. He boomed 39 punts with nine landing inside the 20-yard line in 2013, blasting a long of 64 yards. His average of 41.9 yards per punt was tops in the Northeast-10. Greenfield also served as the Chargers’ placekicker for the first seven weeks of the season and booted 36 extra points. He threw a touchdown pass on a fake field goal in the NE-10 win over Pace.

Brian Roberts returned from injury to claim placekicking responsi-bilities for the final four weeks of his freshman campaign. He went 4-for-5 on field goal attempts with a long of 40 yards and pushed through 17 of his 20 extra point attempts.

Brandon Fowler is the Chargers’ holder for field goal and extra point attempts, and Christian Bish will handle long-snapping duties.

In the return game, Ty Headen, Trevor Officer, Andre Anderson and Courtney Moshood will challenge each other for primary returning responsibilities. With only kick return experience among the four, Officer leads the group with 11 kickoff returns for 194 yards a sea-son ago.

GAME RECAP: WEST HAVEN, Conn. – The University of New Haven football team began the defense of its three-straight Northeast-10 Championships with a 65-0 shutout of visiting Pace at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. Mike DeCaro (Weston, Fla./Cypress Bay ) racked up 154 all-purpose yards with three touchdowns and Ronnie Nelson (Stuart, Fla./South Fork ) threw for four scores before a home crowd of 3,020. With the win, the Chargers improve to 1-1 and begin the NE-10 slate at 1-0 for the third-consecutive fall. New Haven has also won its home opener for the fourth-straight campaign. Pace drops to 0-2 overall and 0-1 in the conference with the loss. DeCaro’s 154 all-purpose yards, all garnered in the first half, came courtesy of 102 receiving yards out of the backfield with two scores and 52 yards on the ground with a two-yard scamper to paydirt. Nelson also only played prior to the intermission, connecting with DeCaro on touchdown passes of 50 and 51 yards as well as a 62-yard hookup with Courtney Moshood (Miami, Fla./Miami Palmetto) and a 15-yard strike to Nick Music (West Milford, N.J./West Milford ). Nelson added 10 rushing yards to his 10-for-17 day for 234 yards through the air. Trevor Officer (Monroe, N.Y./Monroe-Woodbury) colleted 50 yards on seven careers with a touchdown and Anthony Tillman (Piscataway, N.J./Piscataway) ran for 10 yards on five carries. Joey Bradley (Issaquah, Wash./Issaquah / University of North Dakota) took the reins under center in the second half. He went 3-for-5 for 50 yards and two touchdowns. The junior transfer from the University of North Dakota had a 30-yard touchdown pass to Michael Flacco (Audobon, N.J./Gateway Regional / The Community College of Baltimore County - Catonsville) and a 15-yard pitch-and-catch to Rishawn Harris (Springfield, Mass./Putnam Vocational Technical Academy). Earlier in the game, Flacco caught a 19-yard touchdown pass from Anthony Greenfield (Bloomfield, N.J./Paramus Catholic / Wagner) on a fake field goal. He finished with four grabs for 68 yards. As an offensive unit, New Haven outgained the Setters, 425-228. On the defensive side of the ball, Carlos Lozada (New London, Conn./New London) had two second-half interceptions, while Rodney Lanham (Bridgeport, Conn./Bridge Academy) added a late pick of his own. Sean Berglund (Wolcott, Conn./Wolcott) led the effort up-front with three sacks, a forced fumble and four total tackles-for-loss. Chad Woodfine (Springfield, Mass./Chicopee / Suffield Academy) and Kervin Edouard (Somerville, Mass./Somerville ) each had a sack as well, and Edouard also forced the fumble that led to New Haven’s first touchdown. Berglund, DJ Brown (Washington Township, N.J./Washington Township), Andre Lawrence (Hartford, Conn./Hartford Public / Boston College) and Mat-thew Fallico (Syracuse, N.Y./Fayetteville Manlius / Hudson Valley) shared the team-high of seven tackles. The Chargers racked up 16 tackles-for-loss, including six sacks, to limit the Setters to 25 net yards rushing and 203 through the air. In addition to a touchdown pass on the first throwing attempt of his career, Greenfield went 9-for-9 on extra points and boomed five punts for an average of 49.8 yards per try, including a 64-yarder with no return.

GAME RECAP: MANCHESTER, N.H. – For only the third time in program history, and the first time since 1993, the University of New Haven football team scored 70-points in a 70-26 Northeast-10 Conference victory at Saint Anselm College Friday night.

Senior quarterback Ronnie Nelson (Stuart, Fla./South Fork ) shined with 312 passing yards and 171 rushing yards with five total touchdowns. The Stuart, Fla. native went 17-for-28 in the pocket and tossed a game-long 72 yard strike to Courtney Moshood (Miami, Fla./Miami Palmetto). The team’s leading rusher, senior running back Mike DeCaro (Weston, Fla./Cypress Bay ) amassed 205 rushing yards with three touchdowns on 19 carries. The team’s third 100-yard rusher, Trevor Officer (Monroe, N.Y./Monroe-Woodbury) saw most his time in the second half and totaled 113 yards on 14 carries with one score. Friday night marked the first time three UNH players have amassed 100-plus yards rush-ing since the program returned to the gridiron in 2009.

One of two, and possibly three, remaining undefeated Northeast-10 Conference teams, the Chargers improved to 2-1 overall and 2-0 in conference play. The Hawks dropped to 0-3 overall and 0-2 in the NE-10.

On his third carry of the first series, DeCaro became the fourth player in New Haven foot-ball history to rush for 2,000 yards in a career. After his nightly total, he moved in to fourth place in the UNH record book with 2,179 career rushing yards.

Tight end Michael Flacco (Audobon, N.J./Gateway Regional / The Community College of Baltimore County - Catonsville) was the leading receiver for New Haven with four catches for 107 yards and one touchdown. Nick Music (West Milford, N.J./West Milford ) added three grabs for 48 yards and two scores. Ty Headen (Newark, N.J./American History) also recorded multiple catches in the win.

The Chargers amassed an amazing 821 total yards on 81 offensive plays for a 10.1 per play average. The total yardage is also a team-high since 2009. They ran for an astonish-ing 509 yards and seven touchdowns on 53 carries.

On special teams, Anthony Greenfield (Bloomfield, N.J./Paramus Catholic / Wagner) came on PAT shy of tying to program’s all-time record as he went 10-for-10 in the win. He also recorded a 50-yard average on 10 kickoffs in the win.

Defensively, Najae Brown (Mount Vernon, N.Y./Mount St. Michael / Trinity Pawling) led the team with nine total tackles. Kervin Edouard (Somerville, Mass./Somerville ) added seven total tackles including one sack.

GAME RECAP: NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. - The University of New Haven football team, led by two big defensive stands inside its own 10-yard line in the fourth quarter, defeated Mer-rimack College 48-41 Saturday afternoon at a wet Martone-Mejail Field.

Down by seven, Merrimack marched to New Haven’s one-yard line with over four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. On two consecutive plays, the Chargers’ defense stopped the Warriors and an incomplete pass on fourth down gave the ball back to New Haven. Af-ter a quick three-and-out by New Haven, Merrimack again got the ball inside UNH territory with 2:40 left on the clock. The Warriors brought the ball inside New Haven’s 10-yard line and was faced with second-and-four with 1:08 left. On three-straight plays, the Chargers forced incomplete passes by Joe Clancy. The Chargers took over with 47-seconds remain-ing and sealed the win in victory formation.

Senior Mike DeCaro (Weston, Fla./Cypress Bay ) added 270 all-purpose yards with three touchdowns to lead the Chargers offense. He ran for a team-best 57 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries. He caught four passes for 72 yards and one touchdown, while returning five kickoffs for 141 yards.

Quarterback Ronnie Nelson (Stuart, Fla./South Fork ) added 281 yards and three touch-downs on 16-of-25 passing, while Nick Music (West Milford, N.J./West Milford ) led all receivers with five catches and 102 yards.

Defensively, Jaylen Johnson (Linden, N.J./Linden) led the team with 12 total tackles, while Najae Brown (Mount Vernon, N.Y./Mount St. Michael / Trinity Pawling) added 11 total tackles, including a team-high 10 solo stops.

GAME RECAP: WEST HAVEN, Conn. – In a game featuring over 1,000 yards of total of-fense, the University of New Haven football team fell seven yards short in a 29-26 loss to visiting Stonehill on Saturday afternoon at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. The Chargers were led offensively by 153 rushing yards and 52 receiving yards by Mike DeCaro (Weston, Fla./Cypress Bay ). After today’s results, New Haven, Stonehill and American International all stand atop the Northeast-10 Conference at 5-2 overall and 5-1 in the Northeast-10. The Chargers, who will host the Yellow Jackets on Nov. 2, remain in control of their own destiny for a spot in the NE-10 Championship Game with three contests remaining in the regular season. In addition to live, high-definition coverage on NewHavenChargers.com, today’s homecom-ing game was broadcast throughout Connecticut on CPTV Sports. For the third time in as many weeks for New Haven, the outcome came down to the game’s final snap. After a Stonehill scoring drive and two-point conversion staked the visi-tors to a 29-26 lead, the Chargers took over with 23 seconds to play at their own 40-yard line. Ronnie Nelson (Stuart, Fla./South Fork ) started the march with a 26-yard strike to Ty Headen (Newark, N.J./American History), and a connection with DeCaro brought the ball to the Skyhawks’ seven-yard line with two seconds remaining. A pass intended for Nick Music (West Milford, N.J./West Milford ) in the corner of the end zone hit the turf incom-plete, and Stonehill escaped with a three-point victory. Nelson finished 17-for-31 passing for 320 yards and three touchdown passes. The Char-gers’ signal caller also ran for 69 yards on the day. Tight end Michael Flacco (Audobon, N.J./Gateway Regional / The Community College of Baltimore County - Catonsville) led the receiving corps with five catches for 62 yards and a score, with Music and Henry Adegunle (Rockaway, N.Y./Channel View) each reeling in a touchdown grab as well. Andre Anderson (New Haven, Conn./James Hillhouse) had the biggest offensive day of his young career a 63-yard reception to setup a touchdown as well as 26 yards rushing on three carries. On the defensive side of the ball, cornerback Najae Brown (Mount Vernon, N.Y./Mount St. Michael / Trinity Pawling) made seven tackles with three pass break-ups and an intercep-tion in the end zone to stifle a Stonehill drive at the three-yard line in the closing seconds of the first half. Herbens Antenor (Malden, Mass./Malden) made a team-leading nine tackles to go along with a pass break-up from the rover spot in the Chargers’ secondary.

Up front, Jaylen Johnson (Linden, N.J./Linden) and Drake Harris (Union, N.J./Union) each picked up a sack, with Sean Berglund (Wolcott, Conn./Wolcott) and Alex Dyer (Westbrook, Conn./Westbrook) teaming up to dump Stonehill quarterback Logan Meyer a third time. Matthew Fallico (Syracuse, N.Y./Fayetteville Manlius / Hudson Valley) had a team-best 1.5 tackles-for-loss, and Kervin Edouard (Somerville, Mass./Somerville ) picked up three quarterback hurries.

GAME RECAP: NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The University of New Haven football team got back on the winning track and claimed the Elm City Trophy for the fourth consecutive season with a 40-21 win at Northeast-10 and crosstown rival Southern Connecticut State. Ronnie Nelson (Stuart, Fla./South Fork ) accounted for 311 yards of offense and three touch-downs in the Friday night victory at Jess Dow Field.

With the win, the Chargers improve to 6-2 overall in 2013. At 6-1 in the Northeast-10 Conference, New Haven remains in control of its own destiny for a berth in the NE-10 Championship Game with two regular-season contests remaining. Southern Connecticut State falls to 3-5 on the season with a 3-4 NE-10 mark.

Nelson finished the day at 15-of-30 passing for 259 yards and two touchdowns. He was also the Chargers’ leading rusher with 52 yards and a score. Andre Anderson (New Haven, Conn./James Hillhouse) added 29 rushing yards as well as 13 receiving yards.

Nelson completed passes to 10 different receivers, with Nick Music (West Milford, N.J./West Milford ) hauling a team-best three passes for 54 yards. Ty Headen (Newark, N.J./American History) had two receptions for 79 yards and a touchdown, and tight end Bran-don Ruberti (Madison, Conn./Daniel Hand ) snagged his first career touchdown pass.

New Haven broke the game open on special teams in the first half. Cory Jasudowich (North Branford, Conn./Cheshire Academy) broke through the line to block a pair of SCSU punts that were returned for touchdowns. The first scoop-and-score went to DeeJay White (Brooklyn, N.Y./Sheepshead Bay / Bowling Green State University) and the second was returned by Anthony Tillman (Piscataway, N.J./Piscataway). The Chargers have blocked at least one kick in each of the last three meetings with their crosstown rivals.

Sherwood Jonathas (Everett, Mass./Everett) led the New Haven defense with eight tackles. Brent MacLeod (Winchester, Mass./Winchester) picked up a solo sack, with the tandems of Drake Harris (Union, N.J./Union) and Michael Intrieri (Westerly, R.I./Westerly / Dean College) and then Jasudowich and Tyler Condit (Caldwell, N.J./James Caldwell) each combining to dump the quarterback behind the line of scrimmage. The Blue and Gold also forced two turnovers – a Matt Stevko (Shelton, Conn./Shelton ) fumble recovery in the red zone and an interception hauled in by Rodney Lanham (Bridgeport, Conn./Bridge Academy).

John Moscatel paced the SCSU offense with 175 rushing yards on 23 carries. Quarterback Brandon Basil was 14-of-26 through the air for 150 yards.

As a unit, the Owls held a slight 369-351 edge in total yards and garnered 21 first downs to New Haven’s 16. However, two special teams touchdowns and a 2-1 edge in the turn-over battle more than accounted for the 18-yard difference in yards from scrimmage.

GAME RECAP: WEST HAVEN, Conn. – The University of New Haven football team scored the final 17 points of the afternoon to surge past visiting Assumption, 27-17, as a part of Northeast-10 Championship Weekend. Ronnie Nelson (Stuart, Fla./South Fork ) threw a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown passes in his collegiate finale. With the win, the Chargers improve to 8-3 and clinch their fourth consecutive season with at least eight wins. The victory is also the 42nd of Head Coach Peter Rossomando’s career as he moves past Tony Sparano (1994-98) and into second place on the program’s all-time list. Mark Whipple owns the program record with 48 victories on the sidelines at New Haven from 1988-93. Assumption conclude its 2013 campaign at 6-5. The Chargers also claimed the regular-season matchup between the two teams, 21-18, in Worcester on Oct. 4. Nelson was 15-of-27 through the air for 239 yards with fourth-quarter touchdown strikes to Courtney Moshood (Miami, Fla./Miami Palmetto) and Nick Music (West Milford, N.J./West Milford ). He added 60 yards rushing.

Mike DeCaro (Weston, Fla./Cypress Bay ) led the way on the ground with 94 yards on 14 carries. Andre Anderson (New Haven, Conn./James Hillhouse) pitched in with 55 yards, and Anthony Tillman (Piscataway, N.J./Piscataway) posted 36 yards with a rushing touchdown. Music made four receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown, and DeCaro also hauled in four passes for 16 yards. Moshood had a 43-yard grab in the first half and a 35-yard touchdown catch that proved to be the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. Chris Higgins (Cumberland, Maine/Bridgton Academy ) had two receptions for 35 yards, with Michael Flacco (Audobon, N.J./Gateway Regional / The Community College of Baltimore County - Catonsville), Ty Headen (Newark, N.J./American History) and Tillman rounding out the passing attack with one catch apiece. In total, New Haven racked up 242 rushing yards and 239 passing yards for 481 yards of total offense. Defensively, the Chargers limited Assumption to just 61 yards of offense in the second half and 249 for the game. Herbens Antenor (Malden, Mass./Malden) and Najae Brown (Mount Vernon, N.Y./Mount St. Michael / Trinity Pawling) shared the team high of eight tackles and combined for five pass breakups in the secondary. David Nooks (Brooklyn, N.Y./Boys & Girls / Lackawanna College) added four breakups from the safety spot. Up front, Kervin Edouard (Somerville, Mass./Somerville ) had three tackles-for-loss.

1995November 18, 1995 - New Haven 27, Edinboro 12 Edinboro scored on its first possession of the game, taking a 6-0 lead on a one-yard dive by Gerald Thompson. New Haven cut the lead in half on Gene Adair’s 37-yard field goal near the end of the first quarter. Edinboro doubled its scoring total when Keith Cushenberry grabbed the ball away from receiver Bobby Barnette and raced 31 yards for a touchdown with 2:34 left in the half, giving the Scots a 12-3 lead at halftime. New Haven answered with a 47-yard FG on its first possession of the second half. With under a minute left in the third quarter, Ron Jenkins dashed seven yards for a touchdown giving the Chargers the lead 13-12. Jenkins and Dave Menard each added a touchdown in the fourth quarter to complete the scoring, giving UNH its third NCAA first round victory in three tries. Jenkins finished with 150 yards on 30 carries with two TDs while Jesse Showerda completed 19 of 32 passes for 229 yards.

November 25, 1995 - Ferris State 17, New Haven 9 The only stats that would indicate that New Haven lost this game would be the five turnovers, three fumbles and two inter-ceptions. All the other statistics favored New Haven including time of possession (36:02), total yards (420 yards) and total plays (90). However, the most important stat favored the home team, a 17-9 final score. Ferris State opened the scoring with a 22-yard field goal by Jason Lipke. The Bulldogs boosted their lead on Chris Pulliams three-yard run, only the fourth rushing touchdown surrendered by the UNH defense in 12 games. Benny Roe’s 23-yard TD run in the third quarter gave the home team a 17-0 lead before New Haven finally lit its side of the scoreboard on Ron Jenkins five-yard run with 9:00 remaining. Gene Adair brought the team to within one score with a 25-yard field goal, making the score 17-9. New Haven had the ball inside the Ferris 20-yard line in the final 2:00 but failed on a fourth-down attempt, securing the win for Ferris State.

1997November 22, 1997 - New Haven 47, Glenville State 7 The Chargers dominated play in their first playoff appearance since 1995. New Haven led 27-0 at the half on touchdown recep-tions from Adam Roman and Ketric Barnes and a pair of touch-down runs from quarterback Cazzie Kosciolek. The lead went to 34-0 after Bill Woods caught a 29-yard touchdown pass from Kosciolek off a fake field goal. Glenville State finally got on the board at 34-7 after a 68-yard touchdown pass to running back Byron Stevenson. Glenville State quarterback Wilkie Perez entered the game as the leading passer in Division II. The Chargers limited Perez to one touch-down, while intercepting two passes. Don Highsmith ran for a career-high 212 yards on 32 carries as the Chargers racked up 271 yards rushing. UNH’s defense recovered two fumbles and intercepted two passes.

Dirk Johnson faked a punt and ran 39 yards. Two plays later, Corte McGuffey connected with Dil-lon Micus on a 20-yard touchdown pass.

New Haven also lost three fumbles, the most it had lost all season.

2011November 26, 2011 - New Haven 44, Kutztown 37 The Chargers made their first postseason appearance in the “new era” of Charger football. The team earned the second seed in the region, a first round bye and for the first time in Charger football history, hosted a home game on the University’s own campus. The storylines were numerous and in front of a standing-room only crowd, the Chargers fell behind 20-21 with just 17-seconds left in the first half. The Chargers, however, did not give up and a last-second hail mary pass from 44-yards out connected Ryan Osiecki and Jason Thompson for the Chargers go-ahead score. The Chargers 26-21 halftime lead was wiped out in the third quarter as Kutztown scored a touchdown to regain the lead, 28-26. Kutztown split the uprights in the first minutes of the fourth quarter to improve its lead to 31-26, but the Chargers then began to rally. Back-to-back touchdown passes by Osiecki, includ-ing a 64-yard connection with Thompson, put the Chargers back in the lead, 41-31, with seven minutes left. The Chargers added a field goal and Kutztown scored on the final play of the game to bring the Chargers a seven-point victory. Osiecki was the player of the game with five touchdown passes, 433 passing yards and no interceptions. His favorite target, Thompson, grabbed a remarkable six catches for 214 yards and four touchdowns. As a team, UNH amassed 538 total yards on just 58 offensive plays. Defensively, the Chargers picked off three passes and kept the Golden Bears under pressure with three sacks and five total tackles-for-loss.

December 3, 2011 - Winston-Salem 27, New Haven 7 The quarterfinal round matched the fifth-ranked Chargers against the third-ranked Rams of Winston-Salem State. The 7-27 loss was New Haven’s only loss to a Division II opponent all sea-son. The Rams opened scoring with a 48-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, but missed the point-after attempt. Ryan Osiecki and Demetrius Washington-Ellison then connected on a 36-yard touchdown strike later in the first quarter and the extra point gave the Chargers a 7-6 lead. UNH held the lead until the 14:49 mark of the second quarter when Winston-Salem punched in another score to take a 13-7 lead, a lead they held at halftime. Both teams were held scoreless in the third quarter, while the Rams opened the first minutes of the fourth with another touch-down pass. After intercepting the Rams, New Haven marched all the way down to the Rams’ five-yard line, but an errant pass was picked off by WSSU and the Chargers’ hopes at a comeback fell short. The Rams added another score in the final minutes and sealed a 20-point victory. The Chargers amassed 330 total yards, while the Rams racked up 444 yards, including 170 on the ground.

2012November 24, 2012 - Indiana (Pa.) 17, New Haven 14 A drive that started at the six-yard line came within inches of resulting in the game-winning score, but the No. 3/4 University of New Haven football team ultimately fell, 17-14, to No. 11/12 Indi-ana (Pa.) in an NCAA Division II Football Championship Second Round game on at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. The Chargers’ Northeast-10 Championship season ended with a 10-1 overall record. Ryan Osiecki and Jason Thompson connected on both Charger touchdowns. Osiecki finished the day with 194 yards on 15-of-32 passing, and Thompson hauled in two receptions for 69 yards and two scores.

Mike DeCaro ran for 54 yards, Victor Jones picked up 45, Anthony Tillman carried four times for 32 yards and Osiecki netted 22 with his legs. The Crimson Hawks entered the game as the nation’s top-ranked defense, ceding 243.33 yards from scrimmage per con-test. In total, the Chargers topped that mark by over 100 yards with 352 yards of total offense. Defensively, New Haven held the one of the best rushing at-tacks in Division II to 155 yards on the ground; Indiana averaged 278.5 rushing yards per outing entering today’s game. Richard Long led the Chargers with six tackles, while Brent MacLeod had five stops – including a pair of tackles-for-loss. Sean Berglund and Carlos Lozada each had a sack.

140 SIX NCAA APPEARANCES • THREE-TIME NE-10 CHAMPIONS

Anthony MortaliLinebacker (1973-1976)

Inducted 1987Tony Mortali was the type of player that every coach would want on his squad. He was hard working willing and able to give the team his all. An intregal part of the football team’s first ever varsity win, 13-7 in 1975 vs. Curry College, the linebacker/offensive guard was one of the unsung heroes of the sports first few years of varsity status. His efforts on the gridiron were rewarded though, as he captained the team for two seasons, including the year the UNH team notched its first victory. That same season, Tony was named All New England Football Conference team.

Miles McPhersonDefensive Back (1978-81)

Inducted 1989One of the finest defensive backs to play at New Haven, Miles McPherson recorded impressive numbers during his four year career. At one time he held 15 school records and still holds all the interception records - in a game (4), in a season (7), which he accomplished twice, and in a career (22). He was named to the All New England Con-ference First Team, New England Football Writers’ Association Division II-III team, Boston Herald III team. McPherson became the first Charger to be drafted into the National Football League. He was taken as a 10th round pick by the Los Angeles Rams. He signed with the San Diego Chargers where he played from 1982 to 1985.

Rick RacioppiLinebacker (1981-84)

Inducted 1992Rick Racioppi is considered to be one of the finest linebackers to wear a Charger uniform. The linebacker averaged 12.3 tackles per game during his sophomore season and 9.5 tackles per contest over his career. He surpassed 100 tackles in three different seasons, highlighted by a career-high 123 stops in 1982. Racioppi never missed a game during his four-year stay, playing in all 40 UNH contests. When he gradu-ated, Racioppi held the single season and career records for both recovered fumbles and total tackles. He was named to the All-New England team in 1983, one of only three Chargers to earn those honors that season. He ended his career with 379 total tackles, including 210 solo stops, and four sacks.

Erik LesinskiLinebacker (1984-87)

Inducted 1992Erik Lesinski can be rated as one of the best all-around players in New Haven football history. His career totals are among the best in school history, including 422 total tackles, 242 solo tackles and seven sacks. He was named to the

All-New England and All-Eastern College Athletic Conference teams in 1986 and 1987. The line-backer became the third UNH football player to receive a Kodak All-America berth, earning the honor in his senior season, and was also a All-America honorable mention as a junior. In 1987, Lesinski registered 10 or more tackles in every contest with his best game of 21 tackles coming against Springfield.

Paul BowmanOffensive Lineman (1975-78)

Steven H. Kaplan, Ph.D., University PresidentSince becoming president of the University of New Haven in 2004, Steven H. Kaplan, Ph.D. has led the University of New Haven through a period of remarkable growth and development. In the past seven years alone, enrollment has grown by 42 percent to more than 6,400 undergraduate and graduate students, who

hail from 35 states and some 45 countries. Full-time undergraduate enrollment has grown by 86 percent and applications have increased by 176 percent. During this time, the University has completed over $110 million in construction projects and has launched 17 new academic programs.

UNH now ranks among the top comprehensive universities in the North and boasts nationally ranked programs in a number of majors across business, criminal justice, engineering, forensic science, and the liberal arts and sciences. In recognition of his contributions to transforming the University, Dr. Kaplan was named “Businessman of the Year” by Business New Haven magazine in 2008.

President Kaplan also was awarded the 2011 William M. Burke Presidential Award for Experiential Education by the National Society for Experiential Education. The award recognizes President Kaplan’s efforts to make UNH a national leader in experiential education, requiring every undergraduate student to complete an internship, an academic service learning experience, international study or a faculty-mentored research

project before graduation.

Previously, Dr. Kaplan was chancellor and professor of English at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise, the only four-year branch campus of the University of Virginia and one of the nation’s best public colleges, according to U. S. News & World Report.

Dr. Kaplan began his teaching career in 1982 as an Instructor of English at the University of Maryland, European Division. From 1985-1989, he served as Visiting Lecturer in American Studies at Eberhard-Karls Universität, Tübingen, Germany – one of the oldest and most highly regarded universities in Europe. After completing his doctoral studies at Eberhard-Karls Universität, he returned to the U.S. to teach English at the University of Southern Colorado. Within three years, he was made department chair, serving in that capacity for two years before becoming Director of the Center for International Studies.

In addition to earning his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature at Eberhard-Karls Universität, Dr. Kaplan holds a Master of Arts degree (with a concentration in philosophy, German and English) from Eberhard-Karls Universität and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California at Los Angeles.

Dr. Kaplan is the author of a book on American translations of the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke; a book on Tim O’Brien’s fiction, published by the University of

South Carolina Press; and an anthology of international war stories, published by the University Press of Colorado. He also has written a number of scholarly essays.

Dr. Kaplan and his wife, Anemone Schweizer-Kaplan, are both ardent opera buffs and love to ballroom dance, hike and downhill ski. They share a great love for the visual and performing arts and have traveled to more than 30 countries during their 35 years together, including Tanzania, where they hiked up Mt. Kilimanjaro. They have a son and three daughters.

Dr. Kaplan grew up in Chicago, the son of a shoe store owner and an actress-comedienne. He said his stepfather, Irving Glovin, taught him to love ideas and appreciate the contributions we all need to make to good causes. Irv Glovin was a good friend of Oskar Schindler, was instrumental in getting the story out in book and film form (he was associate producer of the film), and is President of the Oskar Schindler Humanitarian Foundation. Dr. Kaplan also serves on the board of the Foundation.

144 SIX NCAA APPEARANCES • THREE-TIME NE-10 CHAMPIONS

Deborah Chin became the school’s fourth Director of Athletics in 1993, and currently oversees a department which sponsors 16 NCAA Division II varsity sports. She was elected to the prestigious position of Chair for the NCAA’s Division II Management Council for 2008 and was promoted to Associate Vice President, Director of

Athletics and Recreation in 2010.

UNH Athletics has enjoyed a high level of success across the board during Chin’s tenure as Director of Athletics, advancing to NCAA tournament over 50 times in 17-plus years. UNH has recently made a number of capital improvements to athletic and recreational facilities, including the construction of the multi-million dollar David A. Beckerman Student Recreation Center, a $1.3 million synthetic turf renovation of Kayo Field (soccer and lacrosse), as well as installation of state-of-the-art blue and gold synthetic turf at the new Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium.

In 2007, Chin spearheaded efforts to re-instate football as a varsity program and find UNH a new athletics conference that best fits the institution’s long-term academic and athletic aspirations. Both goals were accomplished when UNH announced on November 13, 2007 that it had been accepted as a full member of the prestigious Northeast-10 Conference, effective the 2008-09 academic year. After a five-year hiatus, the Charger football team returned to the gridiron in 2009, and won three-straight conference championships and

made a pair of NCAA appearances.

A member of the University of New Haven staff since 1975, Chin began her UNH career as Coordinator of Women’s Athletics. She was responsible for starting the women’s intercollegiate athletic program at UNH, coaching volleyball, tennis, basketball and softball in the early years. Chin eventually surrendered all head coaching responsibilities, except volleyball, when she was promoted to Associate Director of Athletics in 1979.

Among her numerous honors, Chin was named the NACWAA NCAA Division II Administrator of the Year in 2009 after serving as the D-II Management Council Chair. In 2007, the Connecticut Sportswriters’ Alliance presented Chin with the Gold Key Award, the state’s top sporting honor which recognizes significant contributions to athletics in the State of Connecticut. Chin won the NACDA/Continental Airlines Athletic Director of the Year for the Northeast Region in 1998-99 and was awarded the NACWAA Josten’s District I Administrator of the Year Award in 1997. Chin won the National Association for Girls and Women in Sports Presidential Award in March 1997 and was the Connecticut Post Woman of the Year in 1993. Chin has also earned the U.S. Volleyball Association Meritorious Service Award and the YMCA Women in Leadership Award. In 2010, she was honored as an Elm City Legend, an event which recognizes the greater New Haven region’s best in sports and community dedication.

As head women’s volleyball coach, Chin fashioned a Hall of Fame resume - literally - earning induction into the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Hall

of Fame in December, 2006. Chin is also a member of the Connecticut Volleyball Hall of Fame (Inducted October, 1998), the Connecticut Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame (April, 1999), and the Athletics Hall of Fame at her alma mater, SUNY-Cortland.

In a 19-year career (1975-93) as head coach for the Chargers, she posted a 578-179 record (.764) and was at that time only the fifth Division II coach to win 500 career matches. The Chargers made 10 trips to the NCAA tournament during Chin’s reign, reaching the top five four times. Her awards include six AVCA Northeast Region Coach of the Year distinctions as well as eight New England Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year honors. Chin coached the Chargers to twelve 30-win seasons, including six straight. She is also recognized internationally as a top volleyball clinician.

As an administrator, Chin has served on over 30 national and regional committees. In addition to her most recent position as Chair of the Division II Management Council, her resume includes terms as chairperson for the NCAA Division II Volleyball Committee (1988-92), the NCAA Division II Baseball Committee (1997-2001), the NCAA Northeast Regional Football Committee (1999-2003), and the NACDA John McLendon Minority Scholarship Committee (1999-present). She served four years on the NACWAA Board of Directors (1993-96), and acted as the Volleyball Commissioner for the 1995 Special Olympics World Games held in New Haven.

A graduate of SUNY-Cortland with a Bachelor’s of Science in Physical Education, Chin earned her Master’s of Science degree in Physical Education from UNC-Greensboro.

The Northeast-10 Conference is an NCAA Division II conference that was established in 1979. The conference consists of 15 member institutions located throughout the Northeast in the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont.

The institutions that make up the Northeast-10 are Adelphi University (Garden City, N.Y.), American International College (Springfield, Mass.), Assumption College (Worcester, Mass.), Bentley University (Waltham, Mass.), Franklin Pierce University (Rindge, N.H.), Le Moyne College (Syracuse, N.Y.), Merrimack College (North Andover, Mass.), University of New Haven (West Haven, Conn.), Pace University (Pleasantville, N.Y.), Saint Anselm College (Manchester, N.H.), Saint Michael’s College (Colchester, Vt.), The College of Saint Rose (Albany, N.Y.), Southern Connecticut State University (New Haven, Conn.), Southern New Hampshire University (Manchester, N.H.), and Stonehill College (Easton, Mass.).

The conference’s 15 member institutions are spread geographically from Syracuse, N.Y. to Waltham, Mass. and from Colchester, Vt. to Garden City, N.Y. Many of the members are located in or around the metropolitan areas of Albany, Boston, Manchester, New Haven, Worcester and New York City. The Northeast-10 was proud to welcome the New Haven and Adelphi in the conference’s latest expansion, adding to the powerful union of strong academic and athletic institutions.

The Northeast-10 has evolved into a membership committed to competitive athletics programs that emphasize the education, both on and off the field, of more than 6,000 student athletes. Among the many accomplishments of these institutions are NCAA Division II national championships in women’s basketball, women’s cross country, field hockey, men’s lacrosse, women’s lacrosse, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s track and field, and men’s and women’s swimming and diving.

The conference is coming off a banner season in 2013-14, as the Northeast-10 saw three teams claim national championships. First, the Southern New Hampshire University men’s soccer program won the NCAA Championship this past December, followed by the Bentley University women’s basketball team claiming its first-ever

title in March to cap an undefeated season. The Adelphi University women’s lacrosse program made it No. 3 after defeating Lock Haven, 7-5, in the title game in May.

A pair of Southern Connecticut State University student-athletes also won national championhips this past winter, as Nick Lebron won the individual national title in the haptathlon at the 2014 Men’s NCAA Division II Men’s Indoor Track & Field Championship and Raymond Cswerko finished first in the 400 IM at the 2014 NCAA Division II Men’s Swimming & Diving Championship.

From the field of play to inside the classroom, the Northeast-10 honored a number of student-athletes for their academic accomplishments. Over 50 percent of all conference student-athletes earned a 3.0 GPA throughout the 2012-13 academic year and were named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll as a result. An astounding 138 student-athletes earned a perfect 4.0 GPA in the fall before 184 reached the benchmark in the spring. The Northeast-10 also honored 247 student-athletes as members of its academic all-conference teams.

The Northeast-10 also remains focused on its community endeavors, as its fundraising donations for Make-A-Wish is more than any other Division II conference in the country the past decade. The conference also announced a formal partnership last fall with Team IMPACT, a non-profit organization that matches children with life-threatening illnesses with college sports teams. Currently, more than 40 Northeast-10 programs are currently matched with a Team IMPACT child.

Through the establishment and enforcement of regulations, the conference aims to encourage policies that enable intercollegiate athletics programs to contribute to and be considered an integral part of the total educational offerings at our member institutions. The Northeast-10 can look to a long history of success including the growth from seven original member institutions to more than double its size 34 years later, the contention for and winning of multiple national championships, and the recognition of student-athlete performances off the field and in the classroom.

UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAVEN DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICSDEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the department of intercollegiate athletics is to support the mission of the university and to integrate intercollegiate athletics into higher education so that the educational experience of the student-athlete is paramount. The department will provide growth opportunities to achieve in a nationally competitive intercollegiate program that attracts, nurtures and graduates student-athletes who under the guidance of a quality staff, represent the University of New Haven with character and integrity while achieving academic excellence, serving the community and pursuing excellence in their respective sports.

DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS PHILOSOPHYHigher education has lasting importance on an individual’s future success. For this reason, the emphasis for the student-athlete experience at the University of New Haven is a comprehensive program of learning and development in a personal setting. As an NCAA Division II program, our approach provides growth opportunities through academic achievement, learning in high-level athletic competition and development of positive societal attitudes in service to community. The balance and integration of these different areas of learning opportunity provide our student-athletes a path to graduation while cultivating a variety of skills and knowledge for life ahead.

The University of New Haven seeks to provide the world with leaders who can make a positive difference in a global society. Student-athletes are afforded unique opportunities for leadership because of the visibility provided through athletics competition. UNH’s intercollegiate program provides opportunities for its student-athletes to develop moral virtues, such as courage, self-confidence, and integrity and to learn communication and teamwork skills associated with outstanding leadership. Thus the Department of Athletics helps the University satisfy its primary aspiration, which is to prepare students to lead purposeful and fulfilling lives in a global society through experiential, collaborative, and discovery-based learning.

The Department of Athletics is committed to delivering intercollegiate athletics programs that are consistent with the University’s mission and generates the trust and support of its various constituencies. The goal of the department is to field sports teams that compete successfully against other NCAA Division II teams while upholding the academic standards of the University of New Haven. The department is also committed to conducting its programs in strict adherence to the policies, rules and regulations set by the University’s administration, Board of Governors, the NCAA and the Northeast-10 Conference.

Through its programs, the department gives its student-athletes of different genders, races, religions, national origins and sexual orientation opportunities to participate in intercollegiate competition. The intercollegiate program will function free of discrimination with a University commitment to the adherence to Title IX and the Office of Civil Rights guidelines. A major goal of the Department of Athletics is to help student-athletes realize the full potential of their athletic abilities while also increasing their intellectual capabilities and providing them a meaningful opportunity to earn a baccalaureate degree. The department will not compromise its commitment to educate and graduate its student-athletes.

Department of Athletics personnel are expected to represent the University in a manner consistent with UNH’s principles and values. All personnel are expected to perform their responsibilities with the highest standards of integrity, ethical behavior and sportsmanship at all times. Coaches and staff are expected to treat student-athletes fairly and with respect and to facilitate leadership that helps them mature physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially.

DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS HIGHLIGHTS• Women’s Basketball won the NCAA Division II National Championship in 1987, becoming the first team from the Northeast Region to win the title.• Women’s track and field has produced arguably the most successful individual student-athlete in Charger athletics history.
