PROVIDENCE COLLEGE Responding to the needs of Rhode

Island, the Dominican Order of Preach-ers made a special commitment to the state in 1917 and founded Providence College — the only institution of higher learning in North America that is con-ducted by the Order. In 97 years, Provi-dence College has steadily moved to a position of national prominence, while maintaining a personal, community-like atmosphere that fosters growth and development among its student population.

Providence College’s rich heritage dates back to 1216, or the origins of the Dominican Order in Spain. Through the ages, the Dominican Friars became known as the “champions of the faith,” spreading the gospel message through the centuries into every corner of the globe. Today, Dominican Friars con-tinue to spread the gospel in a wide range of remote areas of the world, to teach at every level of the United States educational system.

With the Dominican tradition as its foundation, Providence College focuses on developing the entire per-

son through its values-oriented education. The college seeks to complement a student’s knowledge with knowledge of his/her own values — values that will remain the foundation for sound judgement throughout a lifetime.

To that end, Providence College aims to relate its curriculum to the problems of contemporary so-ciety, offering diverse programs of study that remain grounded in the liberal arts. Students may choose from some 60 concentrations ranging from computer science to labor relations to theatre arts.

In addition, qualified students who wish to structure a program not specifically provided under the regular concentrations may develop their own program with the approval of the dean of the college.

As part of the core curriculum, all students take a two-year, team-taught course, Development of Western Civilization (DWC) which integrates the study of literature, philosophy, history and religious studies through the ages into a cohesive interdisciplinary unit.

Situated just on the fringe of downtown Providence, the College’s location enables students to have easy access to the many social, cultural, educational and recreational amenities of urban life - the Providence Public Library; entertainment at the Providence Performing Arts Center; sporting events, entertainment and trade shows at the Dunkin' Donuts Center and the Providence Convention Center, Providence Place Mall and dozens of fine restaurants. With several other major educational institutions located in Providence, the city has become a hub of collegiate activity.

THE MISSION OF THE COLLEGE

Providence College is a primarily undergraduate, liberal arts, Catholic institution of higher education. Committed to fostering academic excellence through the sciences and humanities, the College provides a variety of opportunities for intel-lectual, social, moral and spiritual growth in a supportive environment.

The College actively cultivates intellectual, spiritual, ethical and aesthetic values within the context of the Judaeo-Christian heritage. These values are nurtured by the unique tradition of the Dominican Order which emphasizes quality teaching and scholarship.

Providence College recognizes the unity of the human family that proceeds from its one Creator. It therefore encourages the deepest respect for the essential dignity, freedom and equality of every person and welcomes qualified women and men from all religious, racial and ethnic backgrounds. Providence College prepares its students to be responsible and productive citizens to serve in their own society and the greater world community.

Prior to his arrival at Providence, Father Shanley served as an associate professor in the School of Philosophy at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.

Father Shanley is a native of Warwick, Rhode Island. A parishioner at St. Gregory the Great Church, he attended local public schools, graduating from Toll Gate High School in 1976.

In 1980, Father Shanley earned his undergraduate de-gree in history at Providence College. He holds a doctorate

ROBERT G. DRISCOLL, JR. / ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT / ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

Entering his 13th season as Providence College’s Associate Vice President & Athletics Director, Bob Driscoll has transformed and reinvigorated Providence College’s athlet-ics program. Having established a vision of student-athlete success in the classroom, in the community and in competing for champi-onships, Driscoll maintains focus on fostering one of the nation’s most respected programs.

During the 2013-14 academic year, Driscoll was the architect of one of the most

successful seasons in Friar history. The women’s cross country team claimed the College’s second NCAA Championship, the men’s basketball team won the 2014 BIG EAST Tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament and the men’s hockey team advanced to the NCAA East Regional Final. The men’s soccer team made a run to the BIG EAST Tournament title game and to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, while the men’s cross country team placed 16th at the NCAA Championship. Additionally, the women’s cross country and track teams combined to earn seven All-America honors in 2013-14. Men’s basketball senior guard Bryce Cotton, who led the BIG EAST in assists and led the nation in min-utes played (39.9 mpg), earned Associated Press Honorable Mention All-America accolades and was named the BIG EAST Tournament Most Outstanding Player.

Providence College finished 71st (out of 297) in the 2013-14 Division I Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup. The Friars finished second in the nation among Division I non-FBS/FCS institutions and their 71st-place finish marked the highest final ranking under the direction of Driscoll. During Driscoll’s tenure, the Friars have finished in the top-100 of the Division I Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings six times and inside the top-125 during 10 of his 13 years as athletics director.

The Friars also have excelled in the classroom and Providence’s student-athletes have combined for an average GPA of 3.02. Following the 2013-14 competition year, a school-record six Providence College athletic programs received Public Recognition Awards as part of the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) program. Multiple Friar teams have been honored in each of the nine years that the NCAA has given out the Public Recognition Awards. Epitomizing the drive for success in athletics and in the classroom, the 2013 women’s cross country team won the 2013 NCAA Championship, boasted three All-Americans, earned a NCAA Public Recognition Award for the third-consecutive season, was named the USTFCCCA Division I Scholar Team of the Year and senior co-captain Emily Sisson was named the BIG EAST Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Aside from excelling in the classroom and competing for championships, Driscoll’s student-athletes are very active in the local community. Last season alone, Friar student-athletes combined for over 2,300 hours of community service and raised over $17,000 for charitable causes. Some of the charitable ef-forts included working with Team IMPACT, taking part in Rhode Island’s reading week, volunteering at the Special Olympics and participating in Relay for Life.

Driscoll helped position the College’s athletics program for success as a mem-ber of the reorganized BIG EAST Conference, where the Friars compete against top-flight academic and athletic institutions in a new era of rivalries built on rich athletic traditions. With a long-term television contract with FOX Sports and its marquee men’s basketball championship tournament at Madison Square Garden, the BIG EAST is poised for success. Additionally, Friar hockey will continue to compete in the Hockey East Association, one of the premier hockey conferences in the nation.

One of the biggest impacts Driscoll has had on the Providence College Athletics Department, and the College as a whole, has been with facility de-velopment, construction and renovation. Since his arrival in 2001, Driscoll has transformed the College’s athletics facilities. Most recently, the initial phases of construction for a new soccer and lacrosse complex began in the summer of 2014.

In September of 2013 a state-of-the art renovation and 30,000-square foot addition project to Schneider Arena was completed. The project included new locker rooms, new coaches’ offices, a renovated press box, a state-of-the-art video board and sound system, luxury boxes, as well as a new hockey and lacrosse strength and conditioning room. The Ray Treacy Track was built over the sum-mer of 2013 to give the men’s and women’s cross country and track programs an improved place to train and race, as well as serving the whole Providence College

community. Taylor Natatorium also underwent extensive renovations in 2013. Other facility upgrades that have highlighted Driscoll’s tenure include an

$80million renovation of the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, the home of Friar men’s bas-ketball. The project was the result of Driscoll working strategically with lead officials in the City of Providence and the State of Rhode Island. The renovations enhanced the game-day experience by adding 20 luxury boxes, new seats, a video scoreboard, sound system, updated restaurant and concession stands, team store, locker rooms and new weight training/fitness areas. These renovations enabled Providence College to successfully serve as host for the First and Second Rounds of the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. In September of 2012, renovations of Alumni Hall were completed. Alumni Hall, which is the practice facility for men’s basketball and the home of the Friar women’s basketball and volleyball teams, is now a state-of-the-art facility.

Kicking off Driscoll’s vision for the improved athletic facilities footprint at Providence College, the Concannon Fitness Center, an $18 million facility, opened in August of 2007, adjacent to the $6 million Lennon Family Field (As-troturf facility), which was completed in August 2005. The Fitness Center houses the Friars’ Jimmy Walker Strength and Conditioning Center for varsity student-athletes as well as administrative and coaching offices, conference rooms and locker rooms. Additionally, the Concannon Fitness Center serves the whole Providence College community and houses the recreation sports staff, further-ing the bond between the campus community and Friar Athletics. Next, the Canavan Sports Medicine Center was completed in August of 2008.

Driscoll established the athletic fundraising philosophy and department that has been instrumental in making program upgrades possible. He and his staff have exceeded fundraising goals on a yearly basis, achieving a 1,000% increase in fundraised dollars over a 12-year period. In July of 2014, Driscoll and his fundraising staff announced that they reached their goal of raising $4.2 million for the 2014 fiscal year. The additional revenue remains critical to building and supporting cham-pionship programs and providing the best opportunities to Providence College’s student-athletes. The funds Driscoll and his staff raise help directly support all 19 of Providence College’s Division I programs, the Friars Forever Fund and capital projects.

On June 10, 2008 Driscoll was named the 2007-08 Astro Turf Athletics Director of the Year for the Division I Northeast Region at the 43rd National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Annual Convention. He also was honored in 2009 by his alma ma-ter, Ithaca College, when he received the Distinguished Sport Industry Leader award.

Currently, Driscoll is serving his first year as the President of the Divi-sion I-AAA Athletics Directors Association. He also represents the BIG EAST’s athletic directors on the Student-Athlete Advisory Council, serves as a men-tor for the Division I-AAA mentoring program and serves on the Hockey East Television Negotiations and Marketing Committees. He previously served on the NCAA Division I Management Council, the NCAA Ice Hockey Champion-ship Committee (Chair 2010-11) and was the Chair of the BIG EAST Athletic Directors in 2011-12. Driscoll was an NCAA Fellows Programs Executive Mentor.

Driscoll joined the Providence community after 14½ years in athletic administration at the University of California, Berkeley, culminating in serving as the Acting Executive Director for Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreational Sports. Prior to that, he was Cal’s Executive Associate Athletic Director and was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the department as well as oversee-ing football, men’s basketball, men’s and women’s swimming, men’s and women’s water polo, rugby, strength training, equipment and the sports medicine programs.

Driscoll was hired at Cal as the Associate Athletic Director for Student Services, a position he held for five years. He then assumed the position of Executive Associate Athletic Director, at which point he was responsible for the administration of 27 varsity sports, a staff of 250 and a $36 million budget. Prior to coming to Providence, he served as the Acting Executive Director for Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreational Sports. During his tenure, Cal won over 20 national championships and competed in the Citrus, Copper, Alamo and Aloha Bowls. The Bears also finished as high as 12th in the NACDA Directors’ Cup.

Before arriving at Cal, Driscoll served six years (1981-87) as the Athletic Direc-tor and Chair of the Department of Physical Education, Recreation and Intramural Sports at Mills College in Oakland, Calif. Prior to Mills, Driscoll was Assistant Athletic Director and Head Baseball and Hockey Coach at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y. from 1977-81. Driscoll played hockey and baseball at Ithaca College (N.Y.), where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education in 1974. He earned his Master of Science in Physical Education/Psychology of Sports from Ithaca in 1975.

A native of West Concord, Mass., Driscoll was inducted into the inaugu-ral class of Concord-Carlisle High School’s Athletic Hall of Fame (football, ice hockey and baseball) in 1993. He and his wife Cathy have three grown children.

Responding to the needs of Rhode Island, the Dominican Order of Preachers made a special commitment to the state in 1917 and founded Providence College; the only institution of higher learning in North America that is conducted by the Order. In 97 years, Providence College has steadily moved to a position of national prominence, while maintaining a personal, community-like atmosphere that fosters growth and development among its student population.

Providence College’s rich heritage dates back to 1216, or the origins of the Dominican Order in Spain. Through the ages, the Dominican Friars became known as the “champions of the faith,” spreading the gospel message through the centuries into every corner of the globe. Today, Dominican Friars continue to spread the gospel in a wide range of remote areas of the world, including Kenya, Nigeria and the Solomon Islands, as well as to teach at every level of the United States educational system.

With the Dominican tradition as its foundation, Providence College focuses on developing the entire person through its values-oriented education. The college seeks to complement a student’s knowledge with knowledge of his own values, values that will remain the foundation for sound judgement throughout a lifetime.

To that end, Providence College aims to relate its curriculum to the problems of contemporary society, offering diverse programs of study that remain grounded in the liberal arts. Providence College students may choose from some sixty concentrations ranging from computer science, to labor relations, to theatre arts. In addition, qualified students who wish to structure a program not specifically provided under the regular concentrations may develop their own program with the approval of the dean of the college.

The Grand Reopening of Providence College’s Schneider Arena was held on Friday, Sept. 27 to celebrate the renovation of the 40-year old arena. It was a festive evening as more than 500 fans attended the event.

The celebration included a ribbon cutting ceremony and a blessing of the building, featuring President Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P. ‘80, and Athletics Director Bob Driscoll. The renovation project was completed in just under eight months and has transformed the home of the Friar lacrosse program into one of the finest facilities in the nation.

The renovation and 30,000 square-foot addition include a new atrium, ticket office, concession stands, coaches offices, locker rooms, meeting rooms, athletic training room and a strength and conditioning facility.

Schneider Arena was dedicated and is named in memory of the late Rev-erend Herman D.

The first game to take place in the arena was a 1-0 victory by the men’s team over the University of Pennsylvania on September 24, 1973. Dan Kennedy scored the game-winning goal for the Friars, with assists from Steve Heggison and Shawn Howard, and Michael Zyburra made 26 saves to earn the shutout.

CHRISGABRIELLI Head Coach (3rd Season)Massachusetts ‘01

Providence College Athletics Director Bob Driscoll an-nounced the hire of Chris Gabrielli on June 21, 2012. Gabrielli becomes the eighth head coach of the Providence men’s la-crosse program.

“I am thrilled to welcome Chris Gabrielli to the Friar family as head coach of our men’s lacrosse program,” Driscoll said. “His championship-level experience as an assistant coach, especial-ly at Duke University, will aid him in the continued growth of our program here at Providence. The BIG EAST Men’s Lacrosse Conference is one of the premier leagues in the country, and our vision for the program is to compete for championships. I believe that Chris possesses all of the tools necessary to bring

our lacrosse team to the next level.”Gabrielli comes to Providence College after spending six seasons as an assistant coach at Duke University, where he worked primarily with

the Blue Devils’ defensive unit. He also served as the program’s recruiting coordinator, under the direction of current Duke Head Coach John Danowski.

“First I would like to thank those that have guided and prepared me for this incredible opportunity,” Gabrielli said. “My family, coaches, and mentors, specifically Greg Cannella, Stan Ross and John Danowski, who gave me a chance to find myself as a coach, while directing my development every step of the way. Providence College is a special place, and that is a direct result of the leadership and the people. Bob Driscoll, Steve Napolillo and the entire athletic department have impressed me thoroughly with their family and team approach, and have presented Providence College to me and my family with class. I am humbled by their trust in my leadership and I am eager to build upon the strong foundation that exists in Friartown. I will be forever grateful for this opportunity.”

While at Duke, Gabrielli helped guide the program to six NCAA Final Four appearances (2007-12) and two trips to the National Champion-ship game (2007, 2010). The Blue Devils went on to win the National Championship in 2010. Duke also captured five ACC regular-season titles (2007-09, 2011-12) and four ACC Tournament titles (2007-09, 2012).

Under the watchful eye of Gabrielli, Duke’s defense consistently ranked among the best nationally. Annually one of the stingiest defenses in Division I lacrosse, Duke was among the top 10 in scoring defense in 2007 and 2008 and has been among the top 25 every year under Gabrielli. In the 2010 NCAA finals, the Blue Devils held Notre Dame to just five goals in their 6-5 overtime victory, tying for the second fewest goals allowed in a NCAA championship game.

During his six seasons with the Blue Devils, Gabrielli mentored seven players to 11 All-America awards. Some of these players include Nick O’Hara, a first-team All-America choice and the 2008 William F. Schmeisser Award recipient as the national defenseman of the year, 2012 ACC Co-Defensive Player of the Year and four-time All-American CJ Costabile and 2008 ACC Rookie of the Year and two-time All-America selection Michael Manley. Four of Gabrielli’s former student-athletes currently suit up for Major League Lacrosse squads, including Manley who was picked third overall in this year’s MLL draft.

“We are pleased to have someone with Coach Gabrielli’s background and track record take the reins of our lacrosse program,” said Provi-dence College President Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P. “I am especially impressed with Chris’ recruiting experience, which will be an important element as we seek to strengthen and improve our program. I’d like to formally welcome him to the Providence College community and wish him all the best as he begins his tenure here at PC.”

Gabrielli spent the 2006 season as an assistant coach at Butler where he served as the recruiting coordinator, while working primarily with the defense. Under his mentorship, three Butler defensemen earned All-GWLL honors.

Gabrielli was a member of the coaching staff at his alma mater, Massachusetts, from 2003-05, helping the Minutemen to a 33-13 overall record with two NCAA quarterfinal berths.

Gabrielli was a member of the practice squad for the Boston Cannons of Major League Lacrosse during the 2004 season before being drafted again by the Cannons in the 2005 Supplemental Draft. In 2004, he co-founded the Mid-Summer Classic, a high school la-crosse tournament currently held on the UMass campus.

A four-year letterwinner as a defenseman at Massachusetts, Gabrielli picked up 127 ground balls and added five assists in his career. As a senior in 2001, he captained the Minutemen to a 12-2 overall record and a share of the ECAC Championship, while earning Second-Team All-Conference and First-Team All-New England honors. A two-time winner of the Eric Sopracasa “Heart and Soul Award,” an honor presented annually to the UMass player who displays the most leadership and dedication to the program, Gabrielli went on to play in the 2001 North-South All-Star game and the MLL Major League Challenge.

“The chance to lead a program that has committed itself to excellence is a dream come true. Bob Driscoll, Father Shanley and Providence College have dedicated ample resources to ensure the success of Providence lacrosse. The BIG EAST Conference demands respect, and a renewed commitment to Providence lacrosse in the form of scholarships, facilities and staff has invigorated the program with an energy and excitement for the future. Our location, academic reputation and complete college experience here at Providence College will attract the finest student-athletes that our sport has to offer.”

A native of Farmingdale, N.Y., Gabrielli graduated from Massachusetts in 2001 with a de-gree in sport management. He and his wife, Candice, have one daughter, Grace.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT CHRIS GABRIELLI“Personally, I am thrilled for Chris. He has been with me since 2006. While I am sad to see him leave our program, Providence College has made a great choice. He is a wonderful person, who is a great teacher of the game, with a voracious appetite to learn. This is an amazing opportunity for Chris as he will be leading a BIG EAST pro-gram. The BIG EAST needs to be prepared as the Providence Col-lege Friars are going to be very competitive.” - John Danowski • Head Coach, Duke University

“Providence College has hit a home run with the hiring of Chris Gabrielli. To be sure, we are ecstatic for Chris, Candice and Grace to have this wonderful opportunity. During his time at Duke, Chris was instrumental in the team’s success, with six-consecutive trips to Memorial Day Weekend [NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Final Four], includ-ing the 2010 national championship. While we will miss Chris and his family greatly, we wish them all the best in this new endeavor.” - Kevin M. White • Vice President and Director of Athletics, Duke Uni-versity

“Providence College is very lucky to have Chris Gabrielli as the new leader of their lacrosse program. There is not a better person, men-tor and coach that PC could have hired. The future of Providence College is in great hands. Chris will work extremely hard, demand respect and lead with integrity - all of which he will ask of his new players! I could not be happier for Chris and Providence College!” - Greg Cannella • Head Coach, University of Massachusetts

“I am thrilled for Chris, Candice and Grace that Providence College has selected Chris to be their next head lacrosse coach. Chris has a tremendous pedigree as both a player and a coach, and success in this game has followed him at every level. His exposure to Greg Can-nella, Stan Ross, and John Danowski have undoubtedly prepared him for the challenges he will face as the head coach at Providence, in every facet of the job. His ability to relate to the players and un-derstand their demands and perspectives will quickly earn him their respect and admiration. Under Chris’ direction, no one in the BIG EAST should be surprised to see Providence College lacrosse reach new heights.” - Jason Miller • Head Coach, St. John’s University

“Chris Gabrielli is a tremendous coach and an even more impressive person. Providence College is getting one of the brightest young coaches in the game. I had a strong feeling this day would come when I was lucky enough to coach him at UMass. He was a tre-mendous captain at UMass in 2001, and has continued to forge his leadership style at every coaching stop he has made. All the while, Chris has been governed by an uncompromising moral compass, an intense work ethic, and a desire to be the best. I couldn’t be hap-pier for Chris, Candice and Grace.” - Andy Shay • Head Coach, Yale University

“Chris Gabrielli has been an incredibly hard worker for as long as I have known him. He is very passionate about his profession as an educator and as a coach of our great game of lacrosse. I am certain that Chris will bring tremendous energy, effort and enthusiasm to the Providence lacrosse program.” - Kevin Cassese • Head Coach, Le-high University

JOHNGALLOWAYAssistant Coach (3rd Season)Syracuse ‘11

John Galloway joins the Providence College men’s lacrosse staff as an assistant coach and will embark on his third season with the Friars during the 2014-15 academic year.

Galloway comes to Providence after one season as a volunteer assistant coach at Duke University. While at Duke he worked close-ly with the goalkeepers and defensive unit. His stint at Duke fol-lowed a stellar four-year career as a goalkeeper at Syracuse Univer-sity. A two-time First-Team All-America goaltender for the Orange, Galloway departed Syracuse as one of the most decorated players in program history. In 2011, he was the winner of the Ensign C. Markland Kelly Jr. Award as the nation’s best goalkeeper. He also became just the second goalkeeper in history to be named a final-ist for the Tewaaraton Trophy, lacrosse’s highest honor.

“I couldn’t be more appreciative of the opportunity that Coach Gabrielli and Providence College have given me,” Galloway said. “I look forward to working at a prestigious academic institution with a sincere passion for college athletics. I believe that under the lead-ership of Coach Gabrielli, Providence lacrosse student-athletes are bound to compete and achieve great success on the playing field, in the classroom and in the community. I am honored to accept the challenge of helping Coach Gabrielli establish Providence la-crosse as a model program for student-athletes of outstanding character and success.”

The native of Syracuse, N.Y., finished his career with a NCAA record 59 victories and played a NCAA record 3,776 minutes throughout his four seasons. He ranks seventh in the NCAA records book and is tops among Orange goalkeepers in goals against aver-age (7.33). He also holds the Syracuse record for NCAA Tournament goals against average (7.20) and is seventh on the all-time saves list with 601. The only goalie in NCAA history to win a NCAA title as a freshman and sophomore, Galloway is the lone goalkeeper in Syracuse history to earn First-Team All-America recognition twice. In 2008, he became the fifth true freshman goalie in NCAA history to lead his team to a national championship as the Orange won a school-record 16 games. Galloway was equally successful off the field. He was a two-time national Academic All-America choice and was a finalist for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. He earned a spot on the SU Athletic Director’s Honor Roll in all eight semesters and was named to the BIG EAST All-Academic team as a junior and se-nior.

“John Galloway’s lacrosse upbringing at West Genesee High School and Syracuse University will be invaluable to our program here at Providence College,” Gabrielli said. “John has lead his team’s to multiple Championships at both levels, while earning All-Amer-ica honors, and he is currently pursuing a Major League Lacrosse Title with the Rochester Rattlers. John is a student of the game who loves to coach, loves the sport and values the impact that he will have on the development of our student athletes.”

The Providence College men’s lacrosse team kicked off the fall season by getting involved in the local community.The Friars teamed up with the Cumberland Boy’s and Girls’ Club to raise money for the community center. All proceeds from the race will go to supple-

menting the club’s operating budget for youth activities and programs.On Sunday, Oct. 19, the team attended the annual Blackstone Valley Boy’s and Girls Club’s Rubber Ducky race in Cumberland, R.I. Head Coach Chris

Gabrielli and the team spent the day preparing and cleaning up the race which typically raises over $30,000 for the youth center and its programming.The staff then hosted its second free coaches clinic on Thursday, Oct. 30 at Schneider Arena, the home of the Friar lacrosse program. The event ran from

7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and focused on the fundamentals of lacrosse. Drills and concepts were presented to coaches working with players ranging from newcomers to those competing at the collegiate level.

The Friar lacrosse program looks to build relationships within the community and is eager to spread its love and passion for the game of lacrosse to the youth in the area.

2014 SEASON REVIEW

THE BIG EAST CONFERENCE

The brainchild of former Providence College men’s basketball coach and athletic director Dave Gavitt, the BIG EAST Conference be-came a reality on May 31, 1979, as Providence, St. John’s, Georgetown, Syracuse, Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College formed the origi-nal seven-school alliance. While the membership has evolved, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad-based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a steadfast emphasis on academic integrity. In 2012, the seven BIG EAST schools that do not compete in FBS foot-ball decided to return to the type of conference alignment that existed when Gavitt helped form the league in 1979 and quickly surged to na-tional prominence as a college basketball force. On December 15, 2012, these seven institutions (DePaul University, Georgetown University, Marquette University, Providence College, St. John’s University, Seton Hall University and Villanova University) announced their intention to separate from the football-playing schools in the previous BIG EAST and form an independent association. On March 20, 2013, the seven schools reached an agreement that en-abled them to keep the BIG EAST name and establish a new conference entity beginning on July 1, 2013. The schools also assumed the old con-ference’s long-term agreement with Madison Square Garden to host the BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Tournament, one of the premier events in college athletics. The schools also announced the addition of three distinguished institutions that share the same academic and athletic values -- Butler University, Creighton University and Xavier University -- and forged a landmark, long-term broadcast partnership with FOX Sports. FOX Sports and its recently established national cable network, FOX Sports 1, acquired the television rights to all BIG EAST contests in all sports in early 2013. The television agreement helped usher in the new BIG EAST era by making the league accessible to a national audience with complete coverage of all BIG EAST men’s basketball regular-season and Tournament contests. A selection of regular-season women’s bas-ketball games as well as the semifinals and final of the BIG EAST Tourna-ment were all shown via the FOX Networks, which reaches 90 million homes. Soccer, lacrosse, softball and baseball also had their conference championships aired on the FOX Sports channels in 2013-14. Dividends were paid immediately as BIG EAST teams enjoyed a significant jump in the number of nationally televised games on their schedules, with many seen on countrywide broadcasts four times as frequently as sea-sons past.Starting in 2014-15, the BIG EAST and FOX Sports will launch a digi-tal platform which will include 30 regular-season women’s basketball games and over 80 Olympic sport contests, including postseason championship coverage. Fans will be able to access the live broadcasts as well as feature content and highlights free of charge. BIG EAST institutions are located in seven of the nation’s top 35 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washing-ton, D.C., Indianapolis, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. Under the direction of Commissioner Val Ackerman, the BIG EAST moved its headquarters prior to the 2013-14 academic year from its original location in Provi-dence, R.I., to Midtown Manhattan in New York City. Ackerman was named the BIG EAST’s fifth Commissioner on June 26, 2013, following Gavitt, the Conference’s first Commissioner who served until 1990, Michael Tranghese, John Marinatto and Mike Aresco. Trang-hese was the league’s first full-time employee and the right-hand man to Gavitt for 11 years, taking over for Gavitt as Commissioner until 2009. Marinatto was the third Commissioner of the BIG EAST, serving from 2009-2012, when he was succeeded by Aresco.It was with the BIG EAST’s founder and first commissioner in mind when Ackerman, who previously served as President of USA Basketball and was the founding President of the WNBA, teamed with Big Ten Com-missioner Jim Delany to establish the Gavitt Tipoff Games. Beginning in 2015-16, the Gavitt Tipoff Games will be an annual early-season series of eight men’s basketball games played between the two conferences.The BIG EAST will embark on its second year as a 10-team consortium in 2014-15. The league, which has always competed with integrity and sportsmanship at the highest levels of intercollegiate sports, began a new era in 2013-14, returning to its heritage, focusing athletically on basketball while forging into the future with leadership and vision.

The 2013-14 academic year marked the BIG EAST’s first season since realignment. The conference crowned champions in 22 sports last year, the 35th season in its history, with its student-athletes achieving success in the classroom as well as the athletic arena. Eight different schools won regular-season titles, including first-year member Creigh-

ton, which claimed the baseball regular-season crown, and 10 different schools won BIG EAST postseason championships. Fellow newcomer Xavier won the BIG EAST Baseball Championship. The Musketeers were one of 34 different BIG EAST teams to earn NCAA Championship bids in 2013-14, with a remarkable nine teams (five men, four women) earning invites to the NCAA Soccer Tournaments. Nine different national postseason championships saw multiple BIG EAST teams participate, including four league squads in men’s basketball and women’s cross country, and two in volleyball, women’s basketball, men’s cross country, field hockey and women’s lacrosse. Additionally, a plethora of individuals earned national postseason invitations in tennis, cross country and track and field. Two BIG EAST teams and one individual performer won NCAA Cham-pionships in 2013-14, beginning with the Providence women’s cross country team. The Friars claimed their second national championship in program history, as three PC runners were tabbed All-Americans and 30th-year head coach Ray Treacy was named National Coach of the Year by the USTFCCCA. Affiliate member Connecticut won its third NCAA ti-tle in field hockey in 2013, with Nancy Stevens named NFHCA National Coach of the Year and Marie Elena Bolles National Player of the Year. Including the three Friar runners, 83 BIG EAST student-athletes across 16 sports were named All-Americans in 2013-14, including Villanova’s Emily Lipari. A four-time All-American in 2013-14, Lipari won the na-tional title in the mile at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in March, marking the Wildcats’ 20th indoor national champion. In March, all eyes were on the hardwood as the BIG EAST Men’s Bas-ketball Tournament returned to Madison Square Garden for the 32nd consecutive season. It was a tale of old versus new as conference char-ter member Providence advanced to the BIG EAST Championship for the first time in 20 years, while first-year participant Creighton, led by consensus National Player of the Year Doug McDermott, marched its way through the opening rounds to reach the final in its BIG EAST Tour-nament debut. In the end, the Friars, led by All-American Bryce Cotton, captured their first title since 1994. Cotton won the Dave Gavitt Trophy as the BIG EAST Tournament Most Outstanding Player.Along with the Bluejays and Friars, Villanova and Xavier earned NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament bids, while on the women’s side, BIG EAST Tournament and regular-season champion DePaul punched its NCAA ticket, along with runner-up St. John’s. The BIG EAST Women’s Basket-ball Tournament was held for the first time at Allstate Arena in Rose-mont, Ill., as the Blue Demons claimed their first tourney title in league history in front of a hometown crowd. Successful strides were made academically as well, as 10 BIG EAST student-athletes were named CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, includ-ing four first-team members. Butler’s Katie Clark and Mara Olson (cross country, track and field) and Marquette’s Charlie Lyon (soccer) and Katie Reigle (soccer) all garnered first-team honors. The triumphs enjoyed by the BIG EAST in 2013-14 add to an already illustrious legacy steeped in men’s basketball and expanded to other sports since the conference’s founding. BIG EAST men’s basketball teams have enjoyed extraordinary success over the years. Georgetown, Marquette and Villanova have won the national championship, and DePaul, Providence, St. John’s and Seton Hall have all made it to the Final Four. The BIG EAST placed three men’s basketball teams in the Final Four in 1985 - Georgetown, St. John’s and Villanova -- the only time this has occurred in NCAA history. Over the past 11 years, Butler, Georgetown, Marquette and Villanova have each reached the Final Four, with Butler making two trips (in 2010 and 2011). Xavier has also advanced to the Elite Eight twice and the Sweet 16 three other times. BIG EAST student-athletes have achieved recent success in other sports, as well. A BIG EAST team has won the NCAA women’s cross country championship four of the last five years (Villanova won twice; Provi-dence and Georgetown once), with one runner-up finish (Providence). Creighton’s men’s soccer team has reached the NCAA College Cup in two of the past three seasons. Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 36 national championships in six different sports, and 138 student-athletes have won individual national titles through 2013-14. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those ef-forts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for the conference and BIG EAST student-athletes. BIG EAST student-athletes sport significantly high graduation rates, and the league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes.
