Withoutquestionthefocusofopposingteams in 2009 will be on the potent StonyBrook running game. The Seawolves willfeaturenotone,buttworeturning1,000-yardrushers;givingStonyBrookthebestreturn-ing running back duo in the nation at theFCSlevel.Infact,seniorConte Cuttinoandsophomore Ed Gowins were the only twobacks from thesame team to rush forover1,000yardsin2008.

His powerful run-ning last season madeit nearly impossible foropponents to bring himdownforaloss–helostjust16yards in140at-tempts–andcombinedwith his burst of speedthru the line resulted ina school record 1,310yards and 11 scores.Notonlydidhisrushingtotalsetaschoolrecord,it ledall freshmeninallofDivisionIatboththeFCSandFBSlevels.

ChuCk Priore

head CoaChalbany, ‘824th SeaSon

Set to begin his fourth season at Stony Brook, Chuck Priore has been the guiding force behind football’s growth to a full-scholarship Football Championship Subdivision program and is quickly developing the Seawolves into one of the top FCS programs in the Northeast. Priore’s third season at the Stony Brook helm was a historic one as the team played its first season as a member of the Big South Conference. He guided Stony Brook to a second-place finish in its first year in the league and saw his team gar-ner four all-conference selections as well as the league’s Rookie of the Year, Ed Gowins. The Seawolves broke a number of school rushing records, was the only FCS team with two backs gaining over 1,000 yards and finished ninth in the nation in rushing as a team. In just his second season and against the toughest schedule Stony Brook has ever had, he led the team to a 6-5 record in 2007. In his first sea-son at the helm of the Stony Brook football program, Priore guided the Seawolves to a 5-6 overall record, including a 5-2 mark in their final season in the Northeast Conference. Two of his athletes garnered all-NEC honors, one was Defensive Rookie of the Year, and one, quarterback Josh Dudash, was named the Stony Brook University Male Athlete of the Year. Under Priore’s guidance, the Seawolves gained over 1,300 yards on the ground and nearly 2,500 yards in the air. In addition, the Seawolves led the conference in passing offense and red zone offense, putting points on the board in 24 out of 27 visits.

Priore was named the second head football coach in Stony Brook Football history on December 10, 2005. He came to Stony Brook after compiling an impressive 39-9 record in six seasons at Trinity College in Hartford, Con-necticut where he led the Bantams to four consecutive New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) titles and a 30-game winning streak, the longest active winning streak in the country at the time. The three-time NESCAC Coach of the Year, Priore guided Trinity to a No. 1 ranking in New England, four straight conference titles and three consecutive undefeated seasons, going 31-1 during that four-year stretch. For two straight years (2004-05) he was named the America Football Coaches Associa-tion (AFCA) Division III Region I Coach of the Year. During his six years at Trinity, he elevated the pro-gram to new heights, implementing a new, exciting, and prolific offensive system that produced some of the top performances in the region. The Bantams boasted five All-America selections on the offensive line in as many seasons and sent players to the AFCA Senior Aztec Bowl in Mexico against a Mexican All-Star team four times. In 2005, Trinity’s defensive unit led the nation in total defense and boasted the NESCAC Defensive Player of the Year while three members of the team landed NESCAC All-Ac-ademic honors. The Bantams’ winning streak was the subject of a one-hour documentary, which was broadcast nationally on College Sports Television (CSTV). The program focused on the Trinity football game against Williams College, which the Bantams won, 34-6, to break the New England

Division III win streak record of 23 victories. Prior to Trinity, Priore served as the offensive line coach and offensive coordina-tor at the University of Pennsyl-vania from 1992 to 1999. Dur-ing Priore’s tenure at Penn, the Quakers compiled an impres-sive record of 52-27, including three Ivy League titles and a 24-game winning streak. In 1998, the Penn offense set a school record for points in a season with 297. Penn also produced two NFL players on the offen-sive side of the ball under Pri-ore; wide receiver Miles Macik who played for the Detroit Li-ons, and tailback Jim Finn has seen action for the Indianapolis Colts, the Chicago Bears and the New York Giants.

Returning for a fourth season as Stony Brook’s offensive coor-dinator/quarterbacks coach is Jeff Behrman. Under his guidance last season Stony Brook’s offense con-

tinued to put up impressive numbers. For a second straight sea-son the Seawolves saw their total offense numbers go up, led by a rushing attack that produced a pair of 1,000-yard rushers and finished ninth in the nation. Against the school’s toughest-ever schedule in 2007, Beh-rman saw the Stony Brook offense increase its total offensive yardage by 464, an average of over 42 yards per game. Quar-terback Josh Dudash passed for 2,342 yards (third all-time) and running back Conte Cuttino rushed for 940 yards (fifth all-time) as the team increased its scoring output by 46 points over 2006. In his first year with Stony Brook, Behrman was instrumental in the development of quarterback Josh Dudash. Dudash gar-nered all-conference honors for a second straight year and was named the Stony Brook Male Athlete of the Year after throwing for 2,231 yards and 15 touchdowns. Behrman’s offense was the top rated passing attack in conference and ranked first in red zone efficiency as the Seawolves put points on the board in 24 out of 27 visits inside the 20. Behrman saw his squad amass over 1,300 yards on the ground and his balanced attack saw 13 rushing touchdowns and 17 passing touchdowns. Under his direction, 11 different Seawolves found the back of the endzone, 11 different players made receptions and 15 players carried the ball as the Seawolves utilized a complete team effort. Prior to Stony Brook, Behrman was the offensive coordina-tor at Trinity College for four seasons during two stints at the school. Behrman was the offensive coordinator at Trinity from 2000-01 before moving on to coach wide receivers at Hofstra for two seasons. He then returned to Trinity as the offensive co-ordinator and quarterbacks coach for two more seasons, help-ing lead the Bantams to a perfect 16-0 mark during that stretch. In 2005, Trinity’s offense led the NESCAC in scoring, averaging 34.5 points per game. Behrman’s offense also led the league in

Stony brook football philoSophy

Our football program exists for our players. As coaches, we are responsible for preparing

each individual to become the best football play-er he can be. Football is a microcosm of life. The most successful people in life exhibit discipline, a strong work ethic, loyalty, and teamwork. We demand that our players exhibit these charac-teristics. In our program, we teach our players to set goals, and they learn how to keep these goals in focus and achieve them. The ultimate purpose of our program is to have each student-athlete leave with a superior education and a feeling that his four years at Stony Brook, and our football program, have been the best four years of his life. The top priority of the student-athletes is to enhance their education. The academic suc-cess of our players is, therefore, our primary focus. The support we give to student-athletes can contribute greatly to their accomplishments in the classroom. One way that our program seeks to nurture our players’ academic success is through regular study halls for all freshmen. In recruiting student-athletes, our coaching staff looks for well-rounded individuals. In addi-tion to athletic ability, maturity is of paramount importance to us. Great players are more than just superior athletes. They understand what it takes to excel in the classroom, to be active in the campus community, and to perform on the football field.

O F F E N S E – Offensively, we will employ a multiple attack that will utilize dif-ferent combina-tions of players. A good offense appears more complicated than it is to the de-fense and cre-ates confusion in the minds of defenders. And while the balance between run and pass is partially based on game situations, a quality team must be able to run the football when it needs to, and a champion-ship team also must be able to throw the ball ef-fectively. Our running game will be based on our ability to stretch a defense and create running lanes. Our passing attack will be based on our ability to overload zones by releasing the maxi-mum number of receivers into patterns. DEFENSE – Great defensive teams must be able to stop the run and force an offense to pass the football. Keeping this in mind, our defense will be attack-oriented and will utilize multiple

looks and simple schematics. We will de-fend the pass with a number of zone and man-to-man schemes. We want to be a big-play defense that minimizes the big plays generated by the opponent’s of-fense. KICKING – The kicking game is criti-cal to our success. Special teams are just as important as our offense and defense. A starter on special teams is a starter in our program. Consistency on these teams will allow us to maintain field posi-tion and control the tempo of a game. It is less important to win games with spe-cial teams than it is to avoid losing games with them.

The Big South Conference took a big step in its young history in the Fall of 2002 when, for

the first time in its 19-year history, the League crowned a football champion. Football had always been a long range goal of the Conference. In the early 1990s, football seemed on the horizon in the Big South, as Charleston Southern fielded its first team in 1991 and the Conference added Liberty as a new member, which was already playing on the gridiron. However, football never got off the ground in the early part of the decade as other issues came to the forefront, including the Big South’s emergence as a basketball conference. The League was awarded its first automatic bid to the NCAA men’s basketball championship in 1992 and football was put on the back burner while basketball began to flourish. The idea was revived in 1997 when Elon joined the Big South. That gave the Conference three full-time members with football programs -- half the number needed to be recognized as a Conference by the NCAA. Two years later on November 10, 1999, Coastal Carolina Uni-versity announced it would add football by the Fall of 2003. The wheels were set in motion to establish a Conference home for the League’s football-playing members. After attempts to form a joint football league with the Atlantic Sun Conference failed, the Big South began recruiting more members to join its fledgling football league. On May 23, 2001, the dream became a reality when the Big South’s Council of Chief Executive Officers voted unani-mously to add football as the Conference’s 18th championship sport. It became the first sport added since 1997 when men’s and women’s in-door track were incorporated as championship sports. Shortly after the approval of football, the Big South’s recruiting efforts paid off, as the ad-dition of Gardner-Webb University as an asso-ciate football member was announced in June 2001. There were hopes that with the addition of the Bulldogs, a four-team League could be-gin play later that Fall, with Coastal Carolina coming into the fold in the 2003 season. How-ever, scheduling conflicts could not be worked out, so the Fall of 2002 was designated as the kick-off to Big South Football. The Big South continued to look for additional members, with a goal of eventually having seven or eight play-ing members. In December of 2001, one of the oldest programs in the state of Virginia, Virginia Military Institute, announced it would join the Big South in all sports in 2003 and maintain the Conference’s football membership at five fol-lowing Elon’s departure. In 2006, the League moved one step closer to solidying its status as a viable football Conference. First, Coastal Carolina Athletic Di-rector Warren Koegel was appointed to the FCS Football Selection Committee, the Big South’s first-ever representative on a national football committee. On April 6, the Big South added Presbyterian College as its sixth football mem-ber. Presbyterian, currently in the midst of its transition to Division I, officially joined the Big South in all sports in 2008. On May 26, the Big

South announced that associate football mem-ber Gardner-Webb would join the Conference as full members on July 1, 2008, solidifying the Big South’s football make-up for years to come. With membership coming together, the Big South received a huge boost at the conclusion of the 2006 campaign. League champion Coastal Carolina became the first football member to ad-vance to the postseason when the Chanticleers received an at-large berth in the NCAA Division I Football Championship. The Big South took an-other step closer to becoming eligible for an au-tomatic berth when on March 20, 2007, the Con-ference announced the addition of Stony Brook University as an associate football member be-ginning in 2008. All the efforts came to fruition in the spring of 2008 when the NCAA announced the expansion of the FCS Playoffs from 16 to 20 teams beginning in 2010 and granting the Big South an automatic bid starting that year. The growth of Big South football has been exceptional since its inception just seven years ago. The Big South experienced its most suc-cessful campaign in 2006 with Coastal Carolina’s FCS playoff berth; two teams (Coastal Carolina and Charleston Southern) were ranked in the na-tional Top 25 in the same week for the first time; the Big South appeared on the ESPN family of networks on four different occasions; and the League had its first-ever NFL Draft pick and first finalist for the Walter Payton Award in Coastal Carolina’s Tyler Thigpen. In 2007, Liberty won its first-ever Big South football championship in record-breaking fashion two years after finishing 1-10 overall; Coastal’s Jerome Simpson (sec-ond round) and Gardner-Webb’s Brian John-ston (seventh round) were selected in the NFL Draft, and the League’s five football members combined to average a Big South-record 7,488 fans per game. The Big South produced another nationally-ranked program in 2008 in Liberty, as well as its fourth NFL draft pick in three years – Liberty’s Rashad Jennings (seventh round). With the numerous successes and solidified membership, the Big South is continuing its as-cension as a national competitor in FCS football.

RudolPH and jaMes diPIeTRo fund

A member of Stony Brook’s football team in the early 70’s, Jim DiPietro ‘76 was named an All-American running back in 1974. He ranked fourth in the nation in rushing among small colleges,

averaging more than 100 yards per game. The Stony Brook Statesman described him as one of the “toughest running backs in

the league.” In the summer of 2009, Stony Brook Athletics announced the formation of the Rudolph and

James DiPietro Football Fund, in honor of Jim and his father, that will support Stony Brook Football well into the future.

all-aMeRIcanschuck downey ‘88

sBu all-american &Hall of famer

Chuck Downey ‘88 was one of a kind. As a two-way standout for Stony Brook from 1984-87, Downey still holds or shares 15 NCAA football records - 17 seasons after he finished his career. In today’s era of “specialists,” the true two-way player is nonexistent. Some offensive players will give defense a try, and vice versa, but only a hand-ful play both sides of the ball for a four-year career. What makes Downey’s accomplishments even more amazing is that all of his records came as a return man. He played both offense and defense and still had enough left to be one of the most dan-gerous return men in the history of college football. Downey is one of six Stony Brook footballplayers in the Stony Brook Athletic Hall of Fame. He was inducted in May of 1996 after being unani-mously selected by the Hall of Fame Committee. As a 5-9, 180-pound running back/defensive back/punt returner/kick returner, Downey’s list of records is endless. In addition to his 16 Division III records, healso shares the all-time, all-divisions NCAA record for punt returns for touchdowns. His sevencareer touchdowns on punt returns tie him withOklahoma’s Jack Mitchell (1946-48), Widener’s Bill ‘White Shoes” Johnson (1971-73) and Nebraska’s Johnny Rodgers (1970-72), the 1972 Heisman Tro-phy winner. Downey’s touchdowns measured 88, 80, 75, 62, 60, 60 and 54 yards. Downey also had three kickoff-return touch-downs (98, 90 and 90), which combined with his seven punt return touchdowns equals the all-divi-sions record of 10 set by Virginia Union’s Anthony Leonard from 1973-76.

RalPH Menendez ‘00 Stony Brook University lost one of its former football greats when Ralph Menendez ’00 passed away in March 2008. One of the great running backs of all-time at Stony Brook, Menendez is second all-time at SBU with 2,623 yards. He is also second in career carries (497) and is third in career rushing TDs (20) and fifth in total career TDs (22). In 1999 Menendez rushed for 207 yards against Sacred Heart, the second-highest single-game total at Stony Brook and one of just nine 200-yard rushing games currently in the SBU record books. In all he had nine 100-yard rushing games in his career, second all-time at SBU.

Jim Fioredirector of Athletics

hoFStra, ‘91

On July 23, 2003, President Shirley Strum Kenny introduced Jim Fiore as the ninth Director of Athletics in Stony Brook University history stating “Jim has the energy, drive, enthusiasm and intelligence to take this program, in the tradition of Stony Brook, very far, very fast.” At the time of his hire Fiore was one of the youngest Directors of Athlet-ics in NCAA Division I. Since his arrival at Stony Book from Princeton University in August 2003, Fiore has hit the ground running and pointed Stony Brook on an aggressive course for success in all aspects of in-tercollegiate athletics. He has undertak-en a major restructuring of the intercol-legiate athletics program including the hiring of new coaching and administra-tive staff, dramatic facility upgrades and improved revenue generation. Fiore has also turned his attention to department-wide fundraising efforts, with his efforts seeing a dramatic in-crease in major gifts, annual giving rev-enue and overall volume of donors. In an effort to take a lead role in the uni-versity’s $300 million capital campaign, the Department of Athletics has secured several major gifts, three of which were the largest philanthropic gifts given to athletics in its history. In July 2005, the athletic department adopted a new philosophy for the annual Providing Athletes With Support (P.A.W.S.) fund-raising campaign, a philosophy that streamlined the annual fundraising pro-cess to prepare Stony Brook to exceed all fundraising expectations in the fu-ture. In addition, he created the Athletic Director Advisory Council; a 19-member board comprised of Stony Brook alumni, staff and community members that will advise Fiore in the fundraising advance-ment process. His attention to the bottom line resulted in a new athletic department budget process that relieved the depart-ment of a multi million dollar debt and an annual systemic deficit, resulting in a balanced budget. The first time that Stony Brook has realized that goal since

moving to the Division I level. Fiore has seen the department balance its budget every year since 2004 and has overseen a dramatic budget growth to $23 million. Beginning in the ‘04-’05 academic year Stony Brook University Athletics realized a near 20 percent increase in its operat-ing budget due to new revenue streams for the department. Additionally, Stony Brook has teamed up with Islanders Me-dia Inc. as the athletic department con-tinues to nurture and foster strong bonds with the Long Island corporate commu-nity. Under Fiore’s leadership, Stony Brook student-athletes have also at-tained new levels of achievement in the classroom. Since his arrival to Stony Brook, the GPA for America East Sea-wolf student-athletes has risen from 2.86 in 2003 to a 3.08 in the Fall of 2008. In the fall of 2008, 15 of 20 teams earned team GPAs above 3.0 and 57 percent of Stony Brook’s America East Fall student-athletes were named to the America East Honor Roll or the America East Commis-sioner’s Honor Roll for earning above a 3.0 or 3.5 GPA respectively. The ‘07-’08 academic year proved to be Stony Brook’s most successful season aca-demically as its student-athletes com-piled a department best overall G.P.A. of 3.06 and saw over 250 student-athletes named to the America East Honor Rolls - the most since joining the America East in 2001. Coinciding with this success, the 6,000-square foot state-of-the-art Goldstein Student-Athlete Development Center has proven to be an advantage in recruiting and for current Seawolves student-athletes. Fiore currently serves on University President Samuel L. Stanley Jr.’s Cabi-net and was also appointed by former President Kenny to co-chair the strate-gic plan for image and identity commit-tee. He has also served on the honorary degree, weekend life, NCAA certification and the university sponsorship commit-tees. In 2005 he was appointed to the Ex-ecutive Committee of the America East Conference and currently serves as the

Chairman of the group. Fiore also is a member of the NCAA Division I Cham-pionships/Sports Management Cabinet and has been appointed to the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel. In Au-gust of 2008 he was appointed to the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) executive board. Prior to his arrival at Stony Brook, he provided department-wide leadership in support of the director of athletics at Princeton University from 1999-2003, a program that supports 38 sports, 40 club sports programs and more than 1,000 student-athletes. A member of the senior management team, he was responsible for all athletic programming oversight of all varsity intercollegiate programs. In addition, Fiore directed all personnel matters including the coordi-nation of national searches for coaches, staff and administrative positions. Along with the director of athletics, he also assisted in the planning for short and long-term capital improvements. During Fiore’s tenure, Princeton achieved ex-traordinary success on the fields of play and in the classroom. A native of Long Beach, N.Y., Fiore graduated from Long Beach High School and went on to attain his Bach-elor of Arts degree from Hofstra Uni-versity, where he played free safety for the football team. Upon graduation from Hofstra, Fiore went on to receive a mas-ter’s degree in Education from Spring-field College. Additionally, he received a certificate from The Sports Management Institute held at the University of Notre Dame and University of South Carolina. Fiore and his wife Lisa have a son Michael who is seven years old. They currently reside in Stony Brook.

Certified Athletic Train-ers (ATC’s) are the liaison

between the student-athlete and the medical community. The primary goal of the sports medicine staff is to provide health care for student-athletes competing at the intercolle-giate level for Stony Brook University. The Seawolves sports medicine staff consists of BOC (Board of Certification) certified athletic trainers and athletic training students from the Athletic Training Education Program who are under the supervision and direction of Dr. Stuart Cherney, Head Team Physician, In addition, the Stony Brook Student Health Service and many medical specialists in the community assist the ath-letic trainers and team physicians in providing quality health care for the Seawolves. Athletic trainers are an integral part of every intercollegiate athletic program to ensure that student-athletes are competing in a safe and healthy environment. Each Stony Brook student-athlete is monitored with yearly athletic physicals, medical questionnaires, and orthopaedic baseline examinations. On a daily basis, the sports medicine staff directly supervises all high-risk sport activities and serves as the primary healthcare practitioner for all student-athletes. Preventive measures are taken to reduce the risk of injury and/or re-injury. Should a student-athlete become injured, the certified athletic trainer recognizes and diagnoses the injury, provides immediate care, makes a timely referral (if necessary), initiates treatment and develops/directs a rehabilitation plan for all injuries. Education of student-athletes is extremely important in the areas of injury prevention, nutrition, hygiene, substance abuse, etc. This is coordinated through the done through the sports medicine staff. Stony Brook University has two (2) Athletic Training Rooms. Both have state of the art equipment for injury treatment, such as cold compression units, electrical modalities and emergency equipment. The Intercollegiate Athletic Training Room is located in the Indoor Sports Complex just off the Arena floor to the rear of the building. It houses more specialized rehabilitation devices such as: Biodex, treadmill, exercise bikes, balance devices, and Exogen units; as well as a diagnostic Flouroscan machine. The Stadium Athletic Training Room is located on the field level

of the LaValle Stadium. Both facilities are fully equipped and functional for everyday practice and game-day operations. Stony Brook University, through the School of Health Technology and Management, offers an Athletic Training Edu-cation Program (ATEP), which became CAATE accredited in September 2004. The program has four full time faculty mem-bers in addition to several ad-junct professors with an Athletic Training Lab to help guide the ATEP students towards becom-

ing Certified Athletic Trainers. A notable alumnus of the Stony Brook athletic training program is Lisa White, MA, ATC, Stony Brook ‘87, inducted into the Stony Brook Hall of Fame in May ‘98. Lisa is the Head Ath-letic Trainer with the WNBA New York Liberty. Lisa was a superb student athletic trainer dur-ing her undergradu-ate years at Stony Brook, where she a lso exce l led in Women’s Basket-ball. In addition, several other alum-ni of the Athletic Training program have gone on to become cert i f ied athletic trainers at the high school, college and clinic levels, as well as entered other allied health care professions such as: medical doctor, physician assistant, physical therapy, occupational therapy and respiratory therapy.
