THIS IS HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY

Hofstra University provides a dynamic college experience tailored for engaged and ambitious individuals. Students find pride and purpose at Hofstra, through small classes, a faculty whose

primary concern is teaching, cutting edge technology, extensive library resources, internships, and active and compelling educational programs that appeal to their interests and abilities. The Hofstra community is driven, dynamic and energetic, helping students find and focus their strengths to prepare them for a successful future.

In its relatively short 76-year history, Hofstra has established itself as a world-class institution of higher education and cultural enterprise. Each academic year, the Hofstra campus and the programs offered grow and change to meet the demands of our students and our community.

Hofstra opened in 1935 as a commuter school with all classes and offices housed in one building. Since those early days, Hofstra has evolved into an international institution with a student body hailing from 50 states and territories, and 72 countries around the world. The beautiful campus is an accredited arboretum with 115 buildings on 240 acres. There are approximately 4,000 students living on campus, and Hofstra offers them and all students an extensive array of academic and social activities. Additionally, Hofstra’s close proximity to Manhattan means that students have easy access to the wondrous cultural, social and career offerings of the city.

While the campus and its offerings have changed, what has remained consistent throughout the years is the sense of community on campus, the eagerness of our students to learn and the commitment of the Hofstra faculty and administration to provide a challenging education that encourages the pursuit of lifelong learning.

The Colleges and Schools of the University are: Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Frank G. Zarb School of Business, School of Communication, School of Education, Health and Human Services, School of Law, School for University Studies, Honors College, Hofstra University Continuing Education and Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University. Bachelor’s degrees are offered in about 150 areas of study. Graduate degrees are offered, including Ph.D.,

Ed.D., Psy.D., Au.D., J.D., and M.D. degrees, advanced certificates and professional diplomas, in more approximately 160 programs of study.

Hofstra joined with North Shore-LIJ Health System in announcing plans to establish a medical school on the University campus in October 2007. The new school, which welcomed its first class in July 2011, is the first allopathic (MD) medical school in Nassau County and the first in New York State since 1963.

In 2011 Hofstra announced that it would launch a School of Engineering and Applied Science with a co-op education program that will partner with a network of industry leaders to offer students substantial work experience before they graduate.

The new school, set to open in September 2012, will combine and expand the University’s existing Engineering and Computer Science departments to develop a curriculum that emphasizes high-tech research, practical work experience and inter-disciplinary study, integrating resources and faculty from other parts of the institution, including the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine and the Frank G. Zarb School of Business.

Hofstra’s School of Communication is one of the largest, most advanced non-commercial television facilities in the East. Students take classes and work in Dempster Hall, a sophisticated television production/post-production facility with two broadcast-quality studios and control rooms; two advanced online video edit suites; two Avid non-linear digital editing systems and several cuts-only video work stations. Two satellite dishes are available with one dish providing special news feeds for the broadcast journalism room, which also has access to Associated Press, Lexis-Nexis and Dow Jones services. In addition, the facility is capable of broadcasting student-produced programming to the entire campus on our own cable channels. Also located here is the University’s radio station (WRHU/88.7-FM), audio production studios, a film/


video screening room, film editing rooms, a computer laboratory, a speech performance studio and a large dance studio.

Hofstra’s C.V. Starr Hall offers academic facilities that are among the most technologically advanced in the nation. Every seat in every classroom allows students direct access to the Internet and Hofstra network, including the resources of Hofstra’s Axinn Library.

Hofstra’s growing computer facilities offer extensive high-tech training opportunities. There are computer terminals throughout the campus for student and faculty use, with more than 750 PC, Macintosh and UNIX workstations available in labs and classrooms.

Hofstra hosts more than 500 cultural events annually, bringing thousands of scholars, dignitaries and other participants to campus. More than 200 musical and dramatic performances take place on campus each year. The University recently completed a year-long celebration of its 75th anniversary, complete with a concert, academic convocation and cake, several conferences and signature events which brought together students, faculty, alumni and community. In October 2008 the eyes of the world were on Hofstra for the final presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain. The debate was a transformational moment for the University, highlighting the achievements of our students and faculty and their engagement in the political process. Leading up to the debate, students and the entire community were engaged by the year-long Educate ’08 program, almost 150 lectures, conferences, and events focused on the issues, history and politics of the presidency, followed by Define ’09, which looked at the first year of his presidency. The University continues to host important political events, such as the New York State Gubernatorial Debate in 2010.

The Hofstra Museum, which houses one of the largest art collections in the metropolitan area, coordinates approximately eight exhibitions annually and offers exhibition areas and an extensive outdoor sculpture collection, with 75 pieces. The Hofstra Museum is accredited by the American Association of Museums – one of only 94 universities in the nation and one of six in New York to hold that distinction.

Hofstra also has six theaters, a student newspaper, a lively student center, a recently renovated recreation center and numerous athletic facilities, including the 13,000-seat James M. Shuart Stadium and the 5,046-seat David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex. Hofstra also has an indoor, Olympic-sized (eight lane, 50-meter) swimming pool, one of the largest such facilities in the New York metropolitan area.

The Hofstra athletic program competes on the NCAA Division I level and is a member of the Colonial Athletic Association. The University sponsors 17 intercollegiate programs – eight men’s sports and nine women’s sports. Hofstra has men’s teams in basketball, baseball, lacrosse, golf, tennis, wrestling, soccer and cross country. Women’s sports include basketball, volleyball, softball, tennis, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, cross country and golf.

Hofstra’s academic programs are accredited by numerous national agencies and the University is one of only 280 schools, out of more than 3,600 colleges and universities nationwide, with a chapter of the national honor society Phi Beta Kappa. Of Hofstra’s 1,165 faculty members, 533 are full time and 93 percent hold the highest degree in their fields. The average undergraduate class size is 21 students, while student-faculty ratio is 14-to-1.

Hofstra University is 100-percent program accessible to persons with disabilities, and has been cited as a national model for this achievement.

Simon Riddiough is entering his sixth year as the Hofstra

Women’s Soccer Coach in 2011. He was named the second head coach in the history of the program when he was promoted to the position following JoAnne Russell’s retirement at the conclusion of the 2005 season. This past year, Riddiough guided Hofstra to the most successful season in school history (19-3). The Pride

set a school record with 19 wins, went 11-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association, becoming the first team to go undefeated and untied in CAA play since 1998, and won a school-record 18 straight games. Hofstra advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament with a 1-0 win over Connecticut, its second NCAA win in program history, and Riddiough was named the CAA Coach of the Year and the Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).

The 19-3 record improved Riddiough’s record to 67-29-8 in his five years, an average of over 13 wins a season.

The 2010 season became the most successful season in program history by surpassing the high standard that Riddiough’s team set in 2007. Hofstra finished with an 18-4 record, setting a school record that was passed in 2010, won the CAA championship and advanced to the second round of the NCAA

Tournament, defeating Ohio State 1-0 in the first round and taking regional top seed Penn State into overtime in the second round. He was named the Northeast Region Coach of the Year by the NSCAA.

In between the two landmark seasons, Riddiough led Hofstra to an 11-8-3 record in 2008, including a return trip to the CAA finals (where it fell 1-0 in double-overtime). He also guided the pride to another successful season in 2009, finishing 10-6-3, including 7-2-2 in conference play.

Riddiough has been a member of the Hofstra Women’s Soccer staff for 16 years, including the previous four as an associate head coach prior to his promotion to the head coaching position. Riddiough joined the coaching ranks in 1996 after spending two years as a graduate assistant in the Hofstra Sports Facilities Department, pursuing a master’s degree in counseling.

Riddiough, a 1994 Hofstra graduate with a degree in physical education, was a four-year letterman and captain on the Flying Dutchmen soccer team from 1990 through 1994. He was an All-New York Region performer in 1993 and 1994, and an All-East Coast Conference pick in 1993. Riddiough was also a member of the all-region academic squad. In his Hofstra career he recorded 13 goals and 15 assists.

A hard-nosed defender as a player, Riddiough has helped develop the Hofstra Women’s Soccer program into one of the top defensive teams in the nation in recent seasons. The Pride ranked third in the nation in team defense in 2003 (0.45 goals per game), while tying for the fewest goals allowed in the entire country (nine), and also ranked 16th in the nation in 2002 (0.69 goals per game). In 2005, Hofstra allowed only three goals in 11 conference games on its way to winning the CAA championship and earning its first-ever NCAA Division I tournament appearance. Iin 2007, Hofstra set a school record with 12 shutouts, including seven straight.

Riddiough played with the Greek American Atlas from 1995 through

HEAD COACH SIMON RIDDIOUGH

Coach Riddiough was the CAA Coach of the Year in 2010


1997 and won a USYSA Region I championship with the club. He also appeared in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open Cup with the Greek American Atlas. In 1998 and 1999, Riddiough played with the New York Freedoms of the United Soccer League and played on the 1999 PDL Northeast Division championship squad that placed third in the nation. In 2001 Riddiough played with the Long Island Rough Riders of the A-League.

In addition to his playing experience, Riddiough has been a head coach for the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association Girls Under-17 team, which serves as part of the New York Olympic Development Program (ODP), since 2000. In 2005 he helped coach the team to the ODP National Championship. He also previously coached several Long Island Select teams from 1996 to 1999 and served as a director for Noga Soccer Camps since 1991. In June 1992 he coached the New Hyde Park Girls Under-19 club to the New York State championship.

Riddiough, a native of Barnsley, England, and his wife, Heather, a former two-sport athlete at Hofstra, reside in Massapequa Park, New Yorkwith their two sons, Kain and Cole.


Tobias BishofAssistantCoach

Tobias Bischof joins the Pride in 2011 after a decade in which he has

been prominently involved in Long Island soccer, particularly at the youth level. This past summer, Bischof led two U-15 teams – the East Meadow Sparks U-15 Girls and the Massapequa Arsenal U-15 Boys – to state championships in the New

York State Open Cup.

Bischof has also coached the East Meadow Dynamite and Sachem Blazers in the Region 1 Premier League. Overall, he has had tremendous success with his youth programs, leading seven teams to the state finals in the last five years.

In addition, Bischof has served as the Select PDP program administrator for the Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL), a program that included more than 500 players, and has run a select coaching program to prepare athletes for collegiate soccer. He has helped place dozens of his youth players into college programs in his short time on Long Island.

A native of Winterstein, Germany, Bischof played soccer in his native country after graduating from high school. In 1997 he enrolled at Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena, Germany, where he earned a degree in sports science, finishing in the top 10 percent of his class. He also coached youth soccer in Germany, primarily with 16-17 year olds, before coming to the United States.

Bischof first moved to Long Island in 2002 to accept a position with Globall Soccer, an international training and management company. He worked with the Long Island Rough Riders of the Premier Development League (PDL) after Globall Soccer purchased the team.

Bischof currently resides in Long Beach, New York.

Tiffany YovinoAssistantCoach

After a well-decorated four-year career on the field at Hofstra,

Tiffany Yovino begins her first season as an assistant coach in 2011.

Yovino achieved a long list of accolades after a senior year that saw her lead Hofstra to a 19-3 record (setting a school record for wins in a season),

an 11-0 mark in the Colonial Athletic Association, and an appearance in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. She earned third-team All-America honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, and was named both the CAA Player of the Year and the Big Apple Soccer Player of the Year. She also became the first player in Hofstra history to earn all-region honors from the NSCAA four times.

Off the field, Yovino’s accolades were equally impressive. A dual major in history and early childhood education with a 3.69 grade point average, Yovino was a first-team ESPN/CoSIDA Academic All-American, a first-team NSCAA Scholar All-American, and became Hofstra’s first-ever recipient of a NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. She also earned membership into Phi Alpha Theta, a national honors society for exceptional university history students, and was named the Female College Athlete of the Year by the Nassau County Sports Commission for outstanding achievement in sport, academic excellence and community service.

Yovino, a four-time All-CAA selection, also graduated as the winningest player in the history of the program with 58 wins over her four seasons. She helped the Pride to a school record with 18 wins as a freshman, and then helped break that record with 19 wins as a senior, including wins in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in both seasons. She had the game-winning goal in a 1-0 win over Connecticut in the first round of the 2010 NCAA Tournament.

During her playing career, Yovino recorded 21 goals and eight assists for 50 points. She will become the 25th student-athlete in program history to have their jersey retired when she is honored this fall.

2011 OUTLOOK

Following up the greatest season in school history is always a challenge. Doing it without six of the starters who helped make it the greatest season makes the challenge that much tougher.

The 2010 Hofstra Women’s Soccer team went 19-3 on the year, setting a school record for wins in a season. The Pride won 18 straight games at one point, shattering the previous school record of 10 in a row, and finished 11-0 in CAA play, the first unbeaten and untied season in the CAA since 1998.

Much of the offensive production from a year ago came from its senior class, including All-American midfielder Tiffany Yovino and two-time first team All-CAA forward Salma Tarik, who each had 12 goals and two assists. All-CAA defender Dana Bergstrom led the Pride with 10 assists, while central defender Amy Turner was the team’s top defensive stopper and will need to be replaced as well.

Hofstra does have several key weapons returning, including senior All-CAA midfielders Brittany Butts and Courtney Breen, and standout forward Laura Greene (six goals, seven assists in 2010). For the Pride to lead the CAA standings again this year, though, several younger players who had complementary roles last season will need to step up and be more consistent contributors in 2011.

Here is a position-by-position look at the Hofstra Pride, heading into 2011.

Forward

Tarik has been the team’s center forward for the last two years, the type of player who would draw multiple defenders and make everyone else’s jobs easier. Kayla Pifer and Grace Hawkins were also part of the Pride’s regular forward rotation last year and will need to be replaced.

Greene will be a key part of Hofstra’s forward line this year after tallying nine goals and 15 assists in the last two years combined. Her speed on the outside has caused match-up problems for opponents her entire career, while her improved finishing ability in 2010 made her an even more dangerous weapon. Head Coach Simon Riddiough would like to keep her on the outside where her speed allows her to turn the corner, but she could also get a look as a center forward as well.

Sophomore Amber Stobbs had a solid freshman season off the bench and provides another speedy winger to use up front. She scored two goals last season and consistently provided a spark off the bench with her athleticism, which the coaching staff hopes will allow to be productive in a starting role this fall. Junior Erin Breen has been utilized in center forward spot during her career.

Newcomers expected to add to the competition at forward include freshman Lulu Echeverry of nearby East Meadow High School, Samantha Scolarici of Freedom High School in Virginia and Caylin Dudley of Kent Island High School in Maryland, although any of the three are versatile enough to play in an attacking midfield role as well. Sophomore transfer Ingrid Moyer will also be in the mix for playing time at forward.

Midfield

Despite the loss of Yovino, Hofstra still figures to be in solid shape in the midfield, where seniors Courtney Breen and Brittany Butts will be entering their fourth seasons as starters and have all-CAA accolades to their credit.

Breen has been the Pride’s starting defensive midfielder for her first three years and has been an All-CAA and all-region selection in both of her first three seasons. Her ability to cover large stretches of ground defensively has given the Pride the freedom to send numbers forward. She is Hofstra’s strongest player in the air, making her a dangerous weapon on set pieces, as she showed with a header goal in the second round of the NCAA Tournament against Boston College.

Laura Greene

Courtney Breen

Brittany Butts


Butts came into her own last season, earning first-team All-CAA accolades after a year which saw her consistently dominate possession in the midfield. Butts is Hofstra’s most creative player with the ball at her feet and her ability to beat defenders consistently was crucial in forcing teams to abandon their defensive alignments to bring help.

Junior Danielle Murino was a reserve midfielder as a freshman and went back to an outside defender position last year. This year, there’s a strong chance she will move back to her original position and give the Pride a dangerous three-player midfield. Murino is a sure tackler with a deceptive burst of speed that allows her to get free from defenders, and she also has the ability to shoot from distance.

Hofstra also hopes to have some depth in the midfield to utilize as well. Junior Nicki Choffel has missed the last two seasons with knee injuries after seeing some playing time off the bench as a freshman, but returned last spring and appears ready to rejoin the midfield rotation. Incoming freshmen Erin Havard and Anya Koren also figure to be in the hunt for playing time in their rookie seasons, while sophomore Kerry Cummings played in nine games for St. John’s last year and will give Hofstra a defensive midfielder who can also slide back to the central defense if needed.

Defense

Junior Brooke Bendernagel stepped into the starting line-up last year and did a sensational job, providing the athleticism on the back line that Hofstra needed for the final piece in its puzzle. This year, she may be the only person from last year’s back four that is returning to the defense (if Murino moves up to the midfield).

Two players who saw significant playing time off the bench as freshmen last year are projected to be starting defenders for the Pride this year. Tara Kerns saw action as both

an outside defender and a midfielder, and gave Hofstra many valuable minutes with her tenacity and work rate. Ruby Staplehurst, who also saw playing time at forward last year, is a technically sound player who has a burst of speed that should make her valuable on the outside.

Sophomore Brittany Farriella is a player who Hofstra may need to step up this season, the same way that Bendernagel did a year ago. She has the size and technical skill to be a prototype central defender, and could fill in to the central defense hole left behind by Turner’s departure. The Pride also has the option of moving one of its midfielders back onto the defensive unit.

The Pride will have a wide range of options to use in goal this season. Emily Morphitis split time last year as a freshman in a two-person platoon, and she showed veteran savvy in making key saves and helping the Pride preserve many second half leads. Returning sophomore Kylie Shuster saw action in 2009 as a freshman before being sidelined by a knee injury last year, and she could also see significant playing time as well. Incoming freshmen Jules Kantor and Lucy Gillett will make the battle for minutes in net even more competitive.

STUART RABINOWITZ

President of Hofstra University


HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Jack Hayes is in his eighth year as director of athletics at Hofstra University in 2011-12. Hayes was appointed by Hofstra

President Stuart Rabinowitz as the University’s director of athletics on October 4, 2004. Hayes came to Hofstra after serving as an associate director of athletics at the University of Connecticut for three years. Hayes, the eighth director of athletics at Hofstra, leads a department that includes 17 Division I teams, 90 coaches and administrative staff members and 350 student-athletes.

Hayes’ proven expertise in enhancing academic and athletic success of student-athletes, strategic planning, fund-raising, marketing, university relations, facility enhancement, budgetary management, and NCAA compliance complements Hofstra University’s athletic department in its quest to further enhance its athletic program, and assist Hofstra’s student-athletes both on and off the field.

The Hofstra Athletic program has flourished under Hayes’ leadership, winning 20 CAA Championships and making 33 postseason appearances, including 25 NCAA Tournaments, since the 2004-05 academic year. In 2010-11 four Pride teams advanced to postseason play with women’s soccer and men’s lacrosse reaching the NCAA Tournament as at-large selections. In addition, Hofstra hosted the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Quarterfinals in 2009 and 2011, setting a James M. Shuart Stadium attendance record in 2011.

Hayes has placed a significant emphasis on fund-raising during his tenure. Pride Club membership reached all-time highs, both in terms of the number of contributors and funds raised as the organization topped the $1 million mark for the three consecutive years. In addition, Hofstra Athletics signed its largest corporate sponsorship deal in department history when it partnered with W.B. Mason in 2010.

Resources generated through fund-raising efforts have been used to enhance programs and facilities available to student-athletes. Recent initiatives include the construction of the W.B. Mason Pride Lounge on the lower level of the Mack Sports Complex, baseball’s Quinn Family

Grandstand and the Fried Family Student-Athlete Development Center on the second floor of the James M. Shuart Stadium Building. Other recent renovations include locker rooms, the wrestling room, athletic training rooms in Margiotta Hall and the Physical Education Center, the basketball media room in the Mack Sports Complex, a press box at the Hofstra Soccer Stadium, replacement of the turf at James M. Shuart Stadium and the construction of the Hofstra Field Hockey Stadium.

In 2006 Hayes reintroduced the Hofstra Athletics Hall of Fame after more than a 50-year absence, inducting five classes since that time. He also led an effort to retire the uniform numbers of prominent Hofstra student-athletes with 20 jersey retirement ceremonies held during the 2008-09 academic year.

Active on a national level, Hayes served on the NCAA Division I Lacrosse Committee from September 2006 to September 2008.

In September 2010 he was appointed to the NCAA Leadership Council, which is an advisory body to the Division I Board of Directors.

Hayes came to Hofstra with more than 14 years of athletic administration experience, including management positions at four Division I institutions – Connecticut, Fordham, St. John’s and Fairfield. Hayes received a master’s degree in education in 1992 with a concentration in sport management from the University of Connecticut. He holds a bachelor’s degree (1989) from Providence College, where he was a member of Providence’s lacrosse team. He was also awarded a certificate of completion in 2001 from the Sports Management Institute, Consortium of the Universities of Michigan and Texas. A native of Providence, Rhode Island, Hayes graduated from the Providence Country Day School where he lettered in football, basketball and lacrosse. He was inducted, as a member of his high school basketball team, into the Providence Country Day Athletic Hall of Fame in October 2004. In October 2010 Hayes became a two-time member of Providence Country Day’s Athletic Hall of Fame when he was inducted along with the rest of his high school lacrosse team.

Hayes resides in East Northport, New York, with his wife Bridget, daughter Katie (9), and sons Matt (6), Tommy (3) and Michael, who was born in April 2011.

ATHLETIC ACADEMIC SUPPORT

Hofstra University is committed to the pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. The University views participation in intercollegiate athletics as benefiting the

student-athlete in an educationally enhancing experience beyond any other opportunity available. Hofstra also realizes the time commitment made by student-athletes and has committed the facilities and resources to support all students.

The University Tutorial Program (UTP) provides free tutoring in every subject area to any Hofstra student. Students are able to obtain up to 1 1/2 hours of individual tutorial assistance per week for up to three courses. They are also able to utilize the various help labs on campus, which specialize in providing assistance in writing, business and QM, and biology and chemistry. In addition to this service, student-athletes are assigned an academic advisor, through the Center for University Advisement, who helps address the various needs of student-athletes. The academic advisor emphasizes four areas in their efforts to ensure the academic success of Hofstra’s student-athletes.

Area one is academic counseling. Services are provided in the areas of academic planning, career planning, personal counseling, and campus and community referrals. The advisor also meets with prospective student-athletes, at the coach’s request, to share the many benefits of a Hofstra University education.

Area two is academic advising. The academic advisor serves as the primary advisor for first-year and undecided student-athletes, and also assists upperclassmen who have declared a major.

Area three is academic monitoring. The advisor monitors the academic progress of student-athletes to ensure compliance with Hofstra University, NCAA and conference regulations. The advisor’s regular communication with the faculty and coaches provide opportunities for early intervention should academic difficulties arise.

Area four is study halls. The University Tutorial Program supports athletic study halls by providing tutors in various subjects as necessary. The academic advisors also assess the needs of individual student-athletes to provide the most effective study environment. The assessment tool administered by the Center for University Advisement is also used to provide various enrichment seminars for the student-athletes such as time management, writing skills, campus resources, and surviving the college transition.

In 2010 The Fried Family Student-Athlete Development Center was opened on the second level of the James M. Shuart Stadium Building. The center houses the offices of the Student-Athlete Services Staff, as well as a large computer lab with printer access for use by Hofstra student-athletes, a quiet study area with wireless internet access and two group study/tutor rooms with power point access and white boards.


SPORTS MEDICINE/ATHLETIC TRAINING

Through a comprehensive athletic training program, Hofstra University student-athletes are provided excellent health care during their

time at the University. A coordinated effort between the University Health and Wellness Center, the Athletic Department and outside health care providers ensures every student-athlete the best medical attention possible. University student-athletes have direct access to a myriad of health care services. Managing the coverage of every practice and competition event is Hofstra University’s athletic training staff, which is led by ninth-year Head Athletic Trainer Evan Malings and features six full-time athletic trainers and numerous student athletic trainers. The athletic trainers provide injury management, rehabilitation and treatment to the entire Athletic program. Utilizing three state-of-the-art athletic training rooms, these professionals work tirelessly to ensure the safe participation of Hofstra’s student-athletes and to return injured athletes to play quickly and safely.

Supporting the athletic trainers is team physician Dr. Michael Yorio. Dr. Yorio, a physician with Pro Health Care, Inc. in Lake Success, New York, is in his third year on Hofstra’s medical team. Yorio is an internist with specialized training in sports medicine. He earned his undergraduate degree at Villanova University, and received his medical degree from the SUNY Health Science Center in Syracuse. Yorio previously served as a sports medicine fellow with the University of Maryland Orthopedics. Prior to that, he was a resident physician in internal medicine at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Yorio was named the Director of Player Medical Services for the 2008 U.S. Open Tennis Tournament in Flushing, New York, and is on the medical staff for the New York Islanders. He also worked as a team physician for the University of Maryland from 2003 to 2005.

Hofstra University sponsors a fully accredited, highly competitive undergraduate degree program for athletic training majors, in which Hofstra student athletic trainers participate in all aspects of the health care system.

HOFSTRA IN THE COMMUNITY

The Hofstra Soccer team is quite active in the Long island soccer community. The team conducts several clinics each year, working in conjunction with Big Brothers/Big Sisters

of Long Island, the Uniondale Police Athletic League and the Town of North Hempstead.

The Pride is also active in area schools, participating in the Read Across America program at the Jackson Main Elementary School in Hempstead, New York, and the Read Aloud event at the Meadow Drive School in Albertson, New York.

In addition to their on-field work with the community, Hofstra Soccer players also take part in charity fund raising events such as Alex’s Lemonade Stand, as well as volunteer with the Special Olympics.

The team also takes part in food drives in conjunction with Hofstra’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and partners with organizations such as Long Island Cares and The Interfaith Nutrition Network.

SERGIO VILLANUEVA SCHOLARSHIP FUND

The FDNY Soccer Club and Hofstra alumnus Jonathan

Kanovsky (‘86) have created a scholarship fund at Hofstra University in memory of firefighter Sergio Villanueva, who was among those who perished on September 11, 2001. This soccer scholarship will assist a deserving Hofstra University student-athlete in pursuing their goal of a college education. The recipient will demonstrate the work ethic, integrity, discipline and courage that exemplified Sergio’s life. To get more information or to donate to the fund go to www.fdnysoccer.com or contact the Hofstra University Office of Development at (516) 463-5542.


HOFSTRA SOCCER STADIUM/FACILITIES

The Hofstra Soccer Teams play at the Hofstra University Soccer Stadium, located on the University’s north campus, adjacent to the David S. Mack Physical Education Center. The Stadium,

constructed in 2003 through a partnership with the New York Jets, features a 120-yard by 74-yard FieldTurf surface, stadium lighting, metal bleachers the length of the field, the Gorman Memorial Gateway and the Hofstra Soccer Walls of Honor. In 2009 a new press box was installed. In addition, signs commemorating Hofstra’s conference championships, NCAA Tournament appearances and retired jerseys are displayed on the west end of the stadium. Since its’ opening, the Pride is 53-12-6 at the Stadium.

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

In June 2001 the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the worldwide governing body for the sport of soccer, gave its official recommendation to the artificial grass FieldTurf installation at Boston University’s Nickerson Field for international competition and domestic league play. The historic ruling, the first and only certification of an artificial surface in the world at this time, means that venues with FieldTurf can be used for all preliminary competition matches for the FIFA World Cup and Olympic Football Tournaments as well as for professional league play. There have been more than 500 FieldTurf installations worldwide in recent years.

The facility is lit with a system from the Iowa-based Musco Lighting Company. Musco is recognized as a world-class leader in sports lighting with lighting systems installed around the globe. A leader in developing sports-lighting technology – including solutions for permanent and temporary lighting, and sports facility management – Musco offers innovative systems, a comprehensive package of services, and decades of experience.

Working with organizations such as Amateur Softball Association, Babe Ruth League, Disney, England and Wales Cricket Board, Little League Baseball®, Major League Baseball, NASCAR, and the NBA, Musco has played a key role in developing guidelines for safe, efficient sports facilities. Musco is a Major Partner with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA); provides the Official Sports-Lighting System for Little League Baseball and was selected to light Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex — a state-of-the-art 200-acre complex with facilities for more than 30 sports.

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

The Hofstra Soccer Stadium served as the home site of first round Men’s NCAA Tournament games in 2005 and 2006, as well as hosting numerous high school playoff contests. The stadium also served as the practice field for the Jets during their public preseason camp workouts until the team moved its headquarters from Hofstra in 2008.


MACK SPORTS COMPLEX WEIGHT ROOM

Hofstra Soccer student-athletes conduct their weight training in the spacious, 3,024 square-foot Mack Sports Complex Weight Room. Located on the lower lever of the

complex, the weight room houses a wide variety of strength and conditioning equipment including free weights, Hammer Strength and 12 pieces of cardiovascular equipment. The team trains under the watchful eye of t Strength Coach Scott Wilks, who is in his third year on the Hofstra staff, and focuses on a blend of Olympic and power lifting that aims to increase strength and overall power development.

THE GORMAN MEMORIAL GATEWAY

The Gorman Memorial Gateway, named in honor of former Hofstra Soccer player Frank Gorman, who died tragically on January 5, 2003, was officially dedicated on Sunday, September 17, 2006.

The Gorman Memorial Gateway project included a gated entrance to the Hofstra Soccer Stadium and ticket windows, as well as a Hofstra Men’s and Women’s Soccer Walls of Fame, the Sergio Villanueva Memorial Garden and a picnic area behind the east side goal. Future plans include alumni bleachers behind the east goal.

Donors to the Gorman Memorial Gateway Fund have their names inscribed on a plaque at the Gateway entrance to the Hofstra University Soccer Stadium.

HOFSTRA INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY

The Pride has use of an indoor practice bubble located on the north campus, behind the Mack Sports Complex. The 50-yard turf field gives Hofstra a unique environment that many teams

in the Northeast do not have.

THE COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

The Colonial Athletic Association continues to build on its reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences both athletically and academically.

The CAA encompasses five of the nation’s nine largest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Atlanta. The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 12 national players of the year, 12 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 22 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2010-11, more than 1,900 of the league’s 4,000 student-athletes received the Commissioner’s Academic Award after posting at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport. The conference had 21 teams in 12 different sports receive NCAA Public Recognition Awards based on the latest Academic Progress Report released in 2011.

The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes six of the nation’s top 25 media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (7), Atlanta (8), Washington, D.C. (9) and Baltimore (25). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 20 million.

The CAA conducts championships in 23 sports. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. In 2010-11, 25 teams earned NCAA Tournament berths and 50 student-athletes received All-America honors in 13 different sports.

The conference has made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball with two teams – George Mason (2006) and VCU (2011) – advancing to the NCAA Final Four over the past five years. Three CAA teams earned NCAA Tournament berths for the first time in 2011 as conference champion Old Dominion was joined by VCU and George Mason. VCU knocked off USC, Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State and top-seeded Kansas, while Mason defeated Villanova. The Rams were ranked No. 6 in the final ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll, which was the highest ranking ever for a CAA team. In 2006, George Mason captured the nation’s imagination by becoming the first mid-major program since 1979 to reach the Final Four, posting victories over Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut along the way.

Six CAA women’s basketball teams advanced to postseason play in 2011. James Madison represented the conference in the NCAA Tournament after capturing its second straight conference championship. Delaware, Drexel, UNC Wilmington, Old Dominion and VCU participated in the WNIT, with the Seahawks advancing to the second round. ODU, which won an NCAA-record 17 straight CAA titles from 1992-2008, boasts three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and was national runner-up in 1997.

The conference also excels in many other sports. CAA squads have combined to win 10 field hockey national titles since the championship began in 1981. At least two women’s soccer teams have advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in three of the past four seasons and William & Mary gave the CAA a team in the final 16 of the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship for the sixth time in the last nine years. In men’s cross country, William & Mary advanced to the NCAA Championship for the 12th straight year and finished 19th overall. In the pool, Towson’s Meredith Budner finished as the runner-up in the 500 freestyle and 1650 freestyle at the 2011 NCAA Championship and received All-America honors along with George Mason’s Ashley Danner. Delaware and Towson have each reached the Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship in the past decade. The CAA has sent multiple teams to the NCAA Baseball Championship in nine of the last 14 years and has had at least 12 players selected in the eight of the last nine Major League Baseball drafts. The conference also boasts numerous All-Americans in lacrosse, tennis, golf, track and field, women’s lacrosse and wrestling.

CAA member institutions are committed to excellence in the classroom. The Colonial Academic Alliance was created in 2002 by the league’s presidents with a goal of expanding their partnership to all aspects of university life outside of intercollegiate athletics. Among the programs that have been established are an undergraduate research conference, coordination of study abroad programs and granting visiting academic status to student-athletes traveling to an away

contest so that they have access to libraries, academic resource centers and computer labs.

In 2002, two faculty members from CAA institutions were awarded academia’s most coveted distinction – the Nobel Prize. John B. Fenn, a research professor in the Department of Chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University, received the Nobel Prize for chemistry, and Vernon Smith, a professor of economics and law at George Mason University, shared the Nobel Prize in economic sciences.

Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. The conference traces its roots back to 1983 when three of its current members- George Mason University, James Madison University, and the College of William and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, the United States Naval Academy and the University of Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC South). During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquired two new members (the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and American University) and decided to form a new association. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985.

Charter members George Mason, James Madison, UNC Wilmington and William and Mary were joined by Old Dominion University in 1991 and by Virginia Commonwealth University in 1995. The conference added the University of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra University and Towson University in 2001. Georgia State University and Northeastern University became members of the conference on July 1, 2005.
