Bryant has enjoyed tremendous growth and success in athletics over the past few years withquite fruitful results, the apex of which came in

2008-09 with its move up to the Division I ranks.

On the field, bountiful Bulldog teams and individualshave qualified for a number of NCAA Championships.In its final four years of Division II competition, 55teams qualified for the postseason, including all 22sports in the Bulldogs’ unprecedented 2007-08 campaign. Six teams captured Northeast-10 Conference titles in Bryant’s final year of Division IIplay, three of them winning both the regular seasonand the league tournament.

In 2007-08, Bryant athletic teams made 16 NCAATournament appearances, featured seven All-America picks, 15 all-region selections, 60 all-conference accolades, two conference Coach of theYear honors, two tournament MVPs and one conference Player of the Year en route to its fourthNortheast-10 President’s Cup Trophy in the last fiveyears. That year alone, the Bulldogs boasted 24 academic all-conference selections.

The University saw the men’s lacrosse team earn anational No. 1 ranking in its final year of Division II,while women’s soccer enjoyed its highest nationalranking in program history, grabbing the No. 2 spot.Other nationally ranked teams in 2007-08 includedbaseball, field hockey and men’s tennis.

The Bulldogs opened up a new era of Bryant

Athletics in 2008-09, and to amazing results. Witheach of Bryant’s 22 programs earning its first Division I win, the Bulldogs knocked off teams fromthe Big East, Ivy League, America East, Patriot League,ACC, Atlantic 10 and CAA en route to a truly impressive year, both on the field and off. Four teamswould finish .500 or better, including football, baseball and men’s lacrosse, while golf took firstplace at the New England Championships.

Tupper, the Bryant University bulldog mascot,was named after Earl Tupper, president and founder of the

Tupperware Corpora-tion. Mr. Tupper donated his 220-

acre Smithfield farmestate to what was then

Bryant College on October24, 1967. Tupper, who had

originally planned to sell hisestate, was so impressed

with Bryant that he decided todonate the land instead, allowing

Bryant to move from its original locationon Providence’s East Side to its current

Smithfield, R.I. residence.

Originally nicknamed the Indians, Bryant became the Bulldogs in 1995. Out of appreciation for Earl Tupper and his generosity, when the school made the move,Tupper the Bulldog was born.

Ahighlight of Bryant University’s stellar athletic facilities, the Bryant Turf Complex was completed in2006 to provide a new home for Bulldog field hockey, men’s and women’s soccer and men’s andwomen’s lacrosse.

Made from Sprinturf technology, the field provides a consistent G-max level that trumps even the mostprestine of natural grass fields. The playing surface is surrounded by a state-of-the-art track, rennovated in 2006 as part of the Turf Field project, which houses both the men’s and women’s track

and field programs, while the field also serves as a practice facility for a number of Bryant teams.

With the recent addition of stadium lights, the Complex also allows for athletic practice and competition throughout the seasons. A new scoreboard provides the Bulldogs with timing and scoringnot just for field hockey, soccer and lacrosse, but also for track timing up to eight lanes. Meanwhile,Bryant’s recently installed bleachers accomodate its many fans — the Bulldogs drew a crowd of over 1,000for its men’s lacrosse contest against crosstown Brown University in 2009.

The Bryant Turf Complex is located adjacent to Bulldog Stadium, and the complex shares the stadium’sconcourse, training room, concession stand and restrooms. An upgrade to the stadium’s concourse, completed in 2009, also gives Turf Field teams new and improved locker rooms of their own inside the com-plex, offering cutting edge video technology, coaches lockers and comfortable and accomodating team rooms.

In addition to serving as the home of Bryant field hockey, soccer and lacrosse, the Bryant Turf Complexhas played host to the Rhode Island Special Olympics, Relay for Life and several conference and NCAAchampionships.

Hon. Ronald K. MachtleyBryant University President U

nder the leadership of President Ronald K.Machtley, Bryant University has evolved intoone of the most progressive and leading in-

stitutions of higher learning in New England.

Hardly a president who remains behind thescenes when it comes to intercollegiate athletics,Machtley — a former collegiate student-athlete inhis own right — has been an ardent supporter ofBulldog sports since becoming the University’sseventh president in 1996.

Mr. Machtley’s “New Century Plan For Excellence”initiated the most significant enhancements to theBryant campus and community since the univer-sity’s move to Smithfield, and athletics was no ex-ception. His New Century Plan saw the Bulldogs’varsity athletics program expand to 22 teams withthe addition of football, field hockey, men’s andwomen’s lacrosse, and in 2005 men’s andwomen’s swimming.

The addition of the new varsity programs broughtabout an overhaul of the university’s athletics fa-cilities as well. These renovations are highlightedby the construction of Bulldog Stadium, whichserves as the home of the Bryant football, soccerand lacrosse teams, as well as state-of-the-artfields for baseball, softball and field hockey.Changes to Bulldog athletics also inspired andsupported the introduction of the Wellness Center,which provides Bryant with a health and fitnesscenter that is second to none.

Before assuming the presidency at Bryant in Juneof 1996, Mr. Machtley was best known as one ofRhode Island’s leading public servants. He served

as a member of the United States House of Rep-resentatives from 1988 to 1995 and was a mem-ber of the House Armed Services Committee. Hewas also the ranking Republican on the Small Busi-ness Committee’s Minority Enterprise, Finance andUrban Development Subcommittee and co-founder of the first House Working Group on Men-tal Health. As a reflection of the esteem in whichhis congressional colleagues held him, Mr. Macht-ley was elected president of his congressional classduring each of his terms in the House.

Upon completion of his term in Congress, Mr.Machtley served as a partner in the internationaltelecommunications law firm Wilkinson, Barker,Knauer & Quinn in Washington, D.C. He is admit-ted to practicing law in Rhode Island, Massachu-setts and Florida.

President Machtley is a 1970 graduate of theUnited States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. Heearned a juris doctorate from Suffolk University in1978 and served on active duty in the UnitedStates Navy. Mr. Machtley also completed 25 yearsof service as a captain in the U.S. Naval Reserves.He was a member of the board of visitors of theUnited States Naval Academy from 1992 to 1995and currently serves on the boards of several cor-porations, as well as on the boards of many civicand charitable organizations.

President Machtley and his wife, Kati, have twochildren and reside on the Bryant campus withtheir two dogs, Sandy and Paddington. Their son,Todd, is an undergraduate at Muhlenberg College.Their daughter, Erin, graduated from Villanova Uni-versity in 1998.

2009 SEASON PREVIEW

12 2009 Bryant University Women’s Soccer

After becoming the first team at Bryant University torecord a Division I victory, a 3-2 overtime win over-Northern Colorado on Aug. 22, 2008, the Bryant

women's soccer team finished off its inaugural DI seasonby winning three of its final four contests, going 4-2-1 overits final seven. In 2009, the Bulldogs will look to utilize theexperience they gained in 2008 to pick up right where theyleft off.

After a long and difficult travel schedule, the Bulldogs fin-ished 2008 with a 5-9-3 record, including a perfect 2-0-1versus Northeast Conference opponents. This season, theteam will play a 19-game schedule that includes 10 homegames and a full NEC slate. The Bulldogs will also face threeNCAA tournament participants in Central Connecticut, Fair-field and Boston University.

Taking it to the next level will be the theme of the year forthe Bulldogs this season, as they look to replace a stronggraduating class, including All-American and 2007 NE-10Defensive Player of the Year Danielle Malta, midfield cap-tain Amy Orzechowski, and goalkeepers Jessica Clark andJessica Neales. In 2009, the Bulldogs will look to not justcompete in the NEC, but to play at a high level and contendat the next level of play.

FORWARDSHead coach Chris Flint should have the experience heneeds at the forward position this year and hopes to getplenty of contributions from three-year starter and formerall-region selection Holly Tyser (Somers, Conn.). Tyser hasscored 24 points in her 63-game career (9 goals, 6 assists)and hopes to add to those numbers in her final campaign.The Bulldogs also return sophomore Kaitlyn Hinck (Bow,N.H.) to their arsenal of forwards. Last season, Hinck ledthe team in points (13), goals (6) and game-winning goals(3). The battle for the third forward spot will be betweensophomore Amanda Worrall (Hamilton Square, N.J.) andfreshmen Morgan Derick (Ashland, Mass.), Bianca Gallo(Peabody, Mass.), Jennifer Harding (Lancaster, Mass.)and Krista Johnstone (Dover, N.H.).

MIDFIELDSenior captain and three-year starter Alex DiPippo (Shel-ton, Conn.) returns to the Bulldogs this year to anchor themidfield. DiPippo will look to control the game’s tempoand be a team leader from the midfield position. DiPippohas played in 65 games in her career and tallied 21 points(10 goals, 1 assist). She has become one of the major play-makers for the Bulldogs and will be looked upon to take onthe same role in 2009.

Along with DiPippo, the Bulldogs return junior starter SarahDonovan (Storrs, Conn.). Donovan was second on theteam in points last season with 11 coming off three goalsand a team-high five assists. She started in 16-of-17 gameslast season and appeared in all 24 games as a freshman.

Sophomore NatalieWooster (Monu-ment, Colo.) andfreshmen AlexBengston (Andover,Mass.), ElizabethGaines (East Long-meadow, Mass.),Regan Marin (Bed-ford, N.Y.) and AlisonMelley (Centerville,Mass.) will battle itout for the two re-maining midfieldslots.

DEFENSE The backline for the Bulldogs has big shoes to fill with thegraduation of Malta. In 2009, senior captain Molly Wallace(Sandwich, Mass.) will look to fill that spot after spendingthree years at Malta’s side. Wallace has played in 64 gamesthroughout her career and recorded four points on four as-sists as a defender. Wallace and the Bulldog defense willplay a vital role in the Bulldogs’ success this season. Along-side Wallace will be junior Steph Del Mistro (East Willis-ton, N.Y.). Del Mistro looks to follow up a breakoutsophomore season where she finished third on the teamin points with seven, scoring two goals and dishing outthree assists. She also tallied the game winner in the Bull-dogs’ lone home game last season, a 1-0 win over Cornell.Del Mistro has appeared in 30 games in her career andlooks to continue her success at the Division I level. Soph-omore Mary Green (Merrick, N.Y.) also looks to be a fa-vorite for the backline, starting 16-of-17 games last season.

Seniors Brianne Lustenring (Massapequa, N.Y.) and Ash-ley Montgomery (Hollis, Maine) will both look for valu-able minutes on the backline in 2009. Sophomore KalieWhitehouse (Braintree, Mass.) as well as freshmen Kait-lyn Fare (Milstone Township, N.J.), Carolyn Giuliano(Wethersfield, Conn.) and Marissa Slayton (Auburn, N.Y.)will all compete for playing time of their own.

GOALKEEPERSSenior Katie Mitchell (Deer Park, N.Y.) will see the ma-jority of action between the pipes after splitting time with2009 graduates Clark and Neales the last two seasons.Mitchell has posted good numbers over her career andlooks to do the same in 2009. She has recorded 66 savesand seven wins, five of which were shutouts, in her 24-game career. Mitchell recorded the school’s first Division Iwin in net for the Bulldogs in a 3-2 overtime victory overNorthern Colorado in 2008. Freshman Kelsi Jacob (Mah-wah, N.J.) will be looking to share time and compete withMitchell for the starting goalkeeper spot.

Entering his 10th season at the helm of the women’s soc-cer program, Flint has compiled a record of 101-64-18 atBryant. Leading the Bulldogs into their inaugural seasonof Division I play, Flint guided the squad to a 5-9-3 record,including wins over Northern Colorado, Wagner, NJIT, Cor-nell and Quinnipiac.

Bryant University will a become full mem-ber of the Northeast Conference in 2012-13.

Under Flint’s direction, the Bulldogs have produced 13 ormore wins six times in his nine-year career. In 2007,Bryant set a program record with 17 victories and receivedits second-consecutive and third-overall NCAA tourna-ment berth (2001, 2006, 2007). The 2007 season wasalso the second-straight appearance in the NE-10 tour-nament finals. During the course of the season, Bryantreached a No. 2 national ranking, thanks in part to a 2-1win over nationally-ranked Franklin Pierce.

Flint and the 2007 Bulldogs placed two standouts, then-junior defender Danielle Malta and then-senior midfielderTricia Spada, on the NSCAA All-American First Team, whileMalta was also named an Academic All-American.
