Rob Anspach, a 2001 Hofstra alumnus with

a degree in American studies, became the 11th Head Wrestling Coach in Hofstra history on March 25, 2011 following the resignation of Tom Shifflet, who he served as an assistant under for five seasons including

three as associate head coach. “Rob Anspach has been the link between two very successful Hofstra coaches during the past nine years,” Hayes said. “He brings solid experience as a coach and administrator and has great knowledge of the talent-rich East Coast wrestling community. We are confident that he will continue the Pride’s winning tradition. In addition, as a Hofstra wrestling alumnus, he will continue to bridge the rich history of our fine program.”His tenure on the Pride coaching staff, which began in 2001-02, has resulted in a 112-58-6 dual meet record, eight conference championships and 33 league champions. A total of sixty-three wrestlers have reached the NCAA Championships during his nine years on staff including 13 that earned All-America honors.

“I am truly grateful to Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz and Director of Athletics Jack Hayes for this opportunity and the confidence they have expressed in me to lead the Pride Wrestling program,” Anspach said. “I am excited about the challenges that lie ahead and I feel I have the ability to continue leading Hofstra in the right direction. I would also like to thank both Tom Shifflet and Tom Ryan, both mentors and friends, for helping me get to this day.”

As a student-athlete, Anspach compiled a 69-51 record and made two trips to the NCAA Championships during his five-year career at Hofstra. As a freshman in 1996-97 he recorded a 20-13 record, placed third in the ECWA Championships, and was named to the ECWA All-Freshman Team at 158 pounds. A year later, he posted an 18-12 mark, placed third again in the ECWA Championships and captured the New York State Championships title at 167 pounds.

After red-shirting in 1998-99, Anspach recorded his best collegiate season with a 20-15 mark and captured the ECWA title at 174 pounds to earn his first NCAA Championship bid. He also captured the title at the Congressional Cup in Washington, D.C., and placed second at the New York State Championships. As a senior in 2000-01 Anspach posted an 11-11 record, finished second at the ECWA Championships and earned a wild-card selection to the NCAA Championships. That season he also won his weight class at the Bearcat Open, compiling a perfect 4-0 record.

The Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, native, who is now a resident of Hauppauge, New York, married the former Alexandra Overkamp on August 5, 2011.


Assistant Coaches

ZACH TANELLIAssistant Coach

Three-time NCAA Championship qualifier and 2009 All-American

Zach Tanelli is in his third year as an assistant coach on the Hofstra Wrestling coaching staff in 2011-12. A University of Wisconsin graduate Tanelli placed fourth at the 2009 NCAA Division I

Wrestling Championships in St. Louis, Missouri, in March. The Short Hills, New Jersey, native recorded a 6-2 record, including five straight victories, in the National Championships to earn his first All-America honor. Tanelli, who was the top-ranked wrestler at 141 pounds for eight weeks through the conference tournament, placed second in the Big 10 Championships. The 2008 Midlands champion finished the year with a 31-6 record, including a 15-1 mark in duals and a 7-0 record in the Big 10 and ranked second in the country. Tanelli earned his first NCAA Championship bid in 2007 as a wildcard after placing eighth in the Big Ten Championships. He recorded a 21-10 overall record including a 19-3 mark in dual matches and a 5-3 record in the Big 10. Tanelli also led the Badgers in dual points with 80. As a junior in 2007-08, he earned his second NCAA Championship bid by finishing fifth in the Big

10 Championships. Tanelli posted a 3-2 record at Nationals to finish the season with a 28-12 record including a 13-5 mark in duals and a 5-3 record in conference action.

A two-time New Jersey State Championship runner-up out of Millburn High School, Tanelli notched an 8-3 record and captured the Pointer Open title as a red-shirt freshman at Wisconsin in 2005-06. During his four-year career at Wisconsin, Tanelli posted an 88-31 overall record including a 49-10 mark in duals and a 17-6 record in the Big 10. Tanelli holds a degree in sociology from Wisconsin.


DAN VALLIMONTAssistant Coach

Former two-time Penn State All-American Dan Vallimont is in his first

season as an assistant coach on the Pride staff in 2011-12.

Vallimont, a native of Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, was a four-time NCAA qualifier for

the Nittany Lions of Penn State from 2005 through 2010 who recorded a 110-36 mark during his collegiate career. A team captain in 2008-09 and 2009-10, Vallimont placed second at the 2010 NCAA Division I Championships at 165 pounds and finished the season with a 30-9 mark. As a sophomore, he placed third at the 2008 NCAA Championships at 157 pounds and posted a 32-3 record.

A three-time top three finisher at the Big Ten Championships, Vallimont placed second in 2008 and third in 2009 and 2010. As a red-shirt freshman in 2006-07, he placed fourth in the Big Ten Championships and tallied a 22-12 record. Vallimont advanced to the NCAA Championships as the 12th-seed at 157 pounds and came within one win of All-America accolades. As a junior, he placed third in the Big Ten, advanced to the NCAA Championships at 165 pounds and, again, came one victory shy of All-America status, finishing with a 26-12 slate on the season.

Vallimont, who graduated from Penn State in 2010 with a degree in architectural engineering, was a two-time New Jersey State High School champion at Jefferson Township High School in Oak Ridge, New Jersey. A three-year team captain and a four-year member of the National Honor Society, he posted a 134-9 career record in high school.

GREGOR GILLESPIEAssistant Coach

Four-time All-American and former NCAA champion Gregor

Gillespie is in his first season as an assistant coach on the Pride staff in 2011-12.

Gillespie, a native of Webster, New York, comes to Hofstra

after serving as a coach and administrator for the Edinboro Scotsman Wrestling Club during the 2010-11 season. A 2011 graduate of Edinboro University, Gillespie earned NCAA All-America honors from 2006 through 2009 and captured the 2007 NCAA championship at 149 pounds with a 3-1 overtime decision over Michigan’s Josh Churella.

The two-time team captain for the Fighting Scots, Gillespie helped lead Edinboro to top 10 team finishes at the NCAA Championships in 2006, 2007 and 2009, and Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) and Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) team titles in all four of his seasons. Individually, he was a three-time champion in both the EWL and the PSAC, and was the EWL Tournament Most Outstanding Wrestler award winner in 2007.

Gillespie began his college career with a bang, winning his first 23 matches on the way to a 40-4 record which is the most wins by a freshman in school history. He won his first EWL and PSAC titles and placed seventh at the NCAA Championships becoming Edinboro’s first true freshman to earn All-America honors. As a sophomore, Gillespie tallied a 34-2 record, his second EWL title and was named both the EWL and the PSAC Wrestler of the Year on the way to the national title at 149 pounds.

In 2007-08, Gillespie moved up to 157 pounds, posted a 37-4 record and placed fifth at the NCAA Championships. He won his third straight EWL title and was named the EWL Tournament Most Outstanding Wrestler, and recorded his second PSAC crown and was named the PSAC Wrestler of the Year for the second consecutive year. As a senior in 2008-09, Gillespie recorded a 41-3 record, was an EWL finalist, captured his third PSAC championship and was named the PSAC Tournament Most Outstanding Wrestler, and placed fourth at the NCAA Championships.

Gillespie finished his collegiate career with a 152-13 record, breaking Jason Robison’s Edinboro record for career victories and set a new mark with a .921 winning percentage. A former Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) representative, Gillespie has a bachelor’s degree in individualized studies with a concentration in psychology.

2011-12 Alphabetical Roster

Jermaine John


Change is inevitable in life and the Hofstra Wrestling program is certainly not exempt from that as the Pride enters the 2011-12 NCAA Division I season. Coming off a 14-4-1 season that

saw the Pride return to the top of the Colonial Athletic Association, have seven NCAA Championship qualifiers and two All-Americans, Hofstra had a change at the top of the program following the national tournament. Former coach Tom Shifflet resigned to enter private business as Hofstra handed the reins to longtime assistant coach Rob Anspach. One of the first things Anspach, the 11th head wrestling coach in Hofstra history, did was assemble an outstanding staff that includes: returnee Zach Tanelli, a three-time NCAA qualifier and 2009 All-American at Wisconsin; Dan Vallimont, a four-time NCAA qualifier and two-time All-American (2008, 2010) at Penn State; and Gregor Gillespie, a four-time All-American and 2007 NCAA champion from Edinboro. Anspach and staff will have 17 returnees, including seven starters, coming back from last year’s squad. Leading the way is senior All-American P.J. Gillespie, who placed eighth at 165 pounds. Hofstra has six NCAA qualifiers on its roster, which displays a solid foundation of experience in 2011-12. “We lost two student-athletes, in Lou Ruggirello and Ryan Patrovich, to graduation who had a ton of success and had been the faces of the program,” Anspach says. “So we will have a couple of wrestlers in the line-up that people have not seen before. But the strength of this year’s team is experience and leadership. We have many wrestlers who have been in the program for three, four or five seasons. They know what is expected and that experience will bring along the younger wrestlers quicker.” Even with experience, Anspach had an important message to get through to all his wrestlers during the off-season. “The biggest thing that we stressed to the entire team this summer was confidence. We know that they are a talented group. But they have to believe in themselves and their abilities and continue to work hard towards their goals.”

125While the 125-pound weight class is not the deepest, it does have experience with the return of two-year starter and two-time NCAA qualifier Steve Bonanno (Wantagh, NY). The two-time CAA finalist at 125 pounds in 2009 and 2011 enters the 2011-12 season at the

conference top seed in the conference preseason poll. Bonanno, who was 24-13 last season after bouncing back from an injury and redshirt year in 2009-10, enters the new season ranked 13th in the country at 125 pounds. Bonanno, who has been fairly durable except for his season-ending elbow injury in 2009, has a 53-29 record in two seasons. If Bonanno needs a replacement, look for redshirt sophomore Jamie Franco (Monroe, NY) or freshman Joey Gosinski (Bartlett, IL) to drop down a class from 133. “Steve will be looking to make the jump from NCAA qualifier to All-American this season,” Anspach says. “Jamie has worked hard during the off-season to unseat Steve so we expect a good battle during the season.”

133The graduation of 2011 All-American and four-time CAA champion Lou Ruggirello leaves a big void in the Pride lineup at 133 pounds. But the cupboard is far from empty as Franco is ready to step in at 133 after two seasons at 125 pounds. Franco, a three-time New York State Championship finalist and 2008 state champion, is starting his third year with the Pride and stepped in for the redshirted Steve Bonanno in 2009-10. During a redshirt season last year, he posted an 8-6 record and finished third in the New York State Collegiate B Championships at 125. Challenging Franco will be Gosinski. A two-time Illinois State champion who was 101-2 during his final two seasons at Glenbard North High School, Gosinski also placed fifth at the Fargo Nationals in 2010. “Joey brings a great work-ethic, has bought into the system and is working hard to develop his career quickly,” Anspach commented. “Jamie has experience as a college starter and knows the system. Whoever we put out there at 133 pounds is going to be solid for us.”

141Senior Vince Varela (Rio Rancho, NM) moves up a weight class to 149 this season leaving an open battle for the starting job at 141 pounds. Redshirt sophomore Luke Vaith (Hastings, MN), who posted a 15-8 during a redshirt season last year, is the front-runner to return to a job that he had as a freshman. Vaith posted a 13-13 mark at 141 pounds in 2009-10 before finishing the season at 133 pounds (3-5) and placing second in the CAA Championships. Vaith enters the season as the top-ranked 141-pounder in the CAA in the preseason poll. Challenging Vaith are junior Daniel Manley (Dobbs Ferry, NY) and redshirt freshman Cody Ruggirello (Walden, NY). Manley wrestled in 11 matches last season, posting a 5-6 mark at 149 pounds and a 2-2 slate at 141 pounds. Ruggirello posted a 4-2 mark at the East Stroudsburg Open last November before suffering an injury and being shut down for the season. “We feel that Luke has a ton of potential to make a splash on the national scene,” Anspach says. “This is his third year in the program including a season where he was a starter and CAA finalist. This is his time and opportunity to shine.”

149Varela moves up a weight class to 149 for his final season at Hofstra in 2011-12. Varela made his first trip to the NCAA Championships last season by placing second in the CAA Championships and earning an at-large bid based on his 21-15 slate. The former Arizona State transfer, who is starting his second season with the Pride placed sixth at the Cliff Keen-Las Vegas Invitational last December. Backing up Varela is junior Matt Spataro (Garfield, NJ). The Western New England College transfer, who is starting his second season at Hofstra, posted a 7-16 record last season while filling in at 149, 157 and 174 pounds. Ruggirello could also

Steve Bonnano


challenge for a spot here as well. “Vince had many good wins at 141 last year and we expect him to adjust to the new weight class nicely,” Anspach said. “He worked hard during the off-season and is now bigger and stronger. Matt is an unorthodox, athletic wrestler who is hard to score upon and good to have in the program.”

157The battle for the starting job in 157-pound weight class should be one of the fiercest on the Pride team in 2011-12. Junior Tyler Banks (Griswold, CT) relieved now-departed sophomore Zach Clemente at 157 pounds in January last season following the injury to Justin Accordino at 149 pounds. While Clemente slipped back to fill the void left by Accordino’s injury, Banks posted a 21-16 record on the season including an 18-15

mark at 157. He placed third at the CAA Championships and dedicated himself during the off-season for a run at returning to the starting job at 157. Challenging Banks will be fifth-year junior Justin Accordino (Wilkes-Barre, PA), who was shut down at the end of December with a knee injury for the second consecutive season. Accordino, who was wrestling well after bouncing back from a season-ending knee injury in the second week of 2009-10, went down with a knee injury at the Southern Scuffle last December. Like Banks, Accordino, a 2009 NCAA qualifier, has the ability to be a conference champion and NCAA qualifier. Also looking to bust into a starting role are redshirt freshman Nick Terdick (East Northport, NY), who posted a 13-11 mark in open tournaments and placed third in at the New York State Collegiate Championships Freshman division last season, and freshman George Palyok (Chesterfield, NJ), a two-time district finalist who was 32-5 as a senior at Northern Burlington County Regional. “The 157-pound weight class is going to be interesting this season,” Anspach commented. “Justin has worked hard during the past 10 months to rehab and get prepared to move up to 157 pounds. He enjoys lifting weights so we don’t see a strength issue and he looks great during the preseason. Tyler has won some good matches for us in the past and when he is wrestling well he is difficult to beat. He needs to do that more consistently.”

1652011 All-American and three-time NCAA qualifier P.J. Gillespie (Long Beach, NY) earned his first All-American honor with an eighth-place finish at the national championships. Gillespie, a three-time CAA finalist, posted a 28-10 record last season and placed second in the CAA Championships, fourth in the Southern Scuffle and sixth at the Cliff Keen-Las Vegas Invitational. He enters the 2011-12 season as the number one-ranked wrestler in the CAA and the fifth-ranked wrestler in the country. Backing up Gillespie will be several wrestlers led by sophomore newcomer Brandon Bright (Livingston, NJ). Bright was a two-time district and county champion at Livingston High School. Other back-ups to Gillespie could come from the 157-pound weight class. “We are looking for P.J. to bring Hofstra a national title this year,” Anspach says. “He has the ability to do it and we think he can beat anyone in the weight class.”

174Three-time NCAA qualifier and 2011 CAA champion Ryan Patrovich has graduated leaving the 174-pound weight class wide open to be taken by a newcomer this year. Freshman Jermaine John (Brooklyn, NY), an All-New York State selection and three-time All-Nassau County pick, is the front-runner for the starting job over freshman Joe Kavanagh (Wantagh, NY). John, who posted a 125-18 record at Bethpage High School on Long Island, was 45-3 as a senior and placed fifth at the New York State Championships. Kavanagh, a two-time NHSCA All-American and a 2011 New York State champion out of Wantagh High School, looked to be the heir apparent to Patrovich but an injury has stymied his preseason preparations. “Jermaine John could be one of the most important newcomers on the team,” Anspach said. “He was expected to be a back-up at 165 but is looking at a starting role at 174 pounds. He is dedicated, works hard and has the ability to be a success. We think this weight class will provide a great battle for the starting job in the near future.”

184The 184-pound weight class returns three-year starter and NCAA qualifier Ben Clymer (Germansville, PA). Clymer had a consistently strong season culminating in his first CAA championship. He posted a 22-10 record and ranked in the top 25 in the final RPI last season. While he made his debut at the NCAA Championship in 2011, Clymer, the CAA’s top-ranked wrestler in their preseason poll, will be looking to reach the All-American podium in March. Junior Pat Murphy (Nazareth, PA) will be backing up Clymer again in 2011-12. Murphy wrestled in nine matches last season and is the ultimate team wrestler and is ready when needed. “Ben’s CAA championship and NCAA appearance affirmed all the hours that he has spent on the mat and in the weight room over the years,” Anspach said. “We need him to be more offensive and score more. Nationally, we think he is very close and, with a couple of adjustments, we think he can place in the top eight at nationals. Pat is a great team wrestler. He wrestles hard every day and he more than willing to fill in at any weight that we need him.”

197Sophomore Matt Loew (Wantagh, NY) had a baptism by fire as a true freshman last season. The two-time Fargo All-American had a rough go of it during his first two months of his college career, posting a 4-16 record. But his second half development was much better as he posted an 11-7 mark on the way to a fourth place finish at the CAA Championships. “Matt is coming off an interesting season,” Anspach said. “He struggled early with the physicality of the weight class. But by the end of the year he started to find his groove. He put in a good summer and preseason and we are looking forward to continued development from Matt.” Loew returns to his starting role but will be pushed by redshirt sophomore Tim Murphy (Nazareth, PA). Murphy wrestled in 13 matches last year and is expected to make a strong challenge for the starting job.

285Redshirt junior Paul Snyder (Greensburg, PA) is coming off the best season of his young career and is expected to return to the starting role at 285 pounds. The 2011 CAA champion and NCAA qualifier had a shaky first half of the season, going 11-10, but gained confidence and was 14-6 during the second half of the year. That confidence and added year of development has placed Snyder as the top seed at 285 in the CAA preseason poll. Expected to challenge Snyder once again this season is redshirt freshman Zeal McGrew (Glenville, NY). McGrew, who benefitted from a year of development last season, posted a 20-9 record in Open tournaments as a true freshman. “I think the biggest thing that Paul developed as the season went along was confidence,” Anspach said. “As his confidence improved so did his number of wins leading up to the CAA title and into his first NCAA Championship. Zeal (McGrew) is a smaller heavyweight but he is athletic and takes a lot of shots.”

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, Maurice A. Deane 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 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 (1).

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 Center for Student-Athlete Development 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.

Athletic Academic Support


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.

Wrestling Facilities

The Hofstra Wrestling Program calls the 5,054-seat Mack Sports Complex its home. Opened in 2000 as Hofstra Arena, the building was renamed the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition

complex in 2006. Construction of the $15 million, 93,000 square-foot facility began in the fall of 1998 and was completed in December 1999. The Complex houses the Hofstra Wrestling and Basketball teams, and also hosts commencements, exhibitions, trade shows, concerts and other special events.

“Mr. Mack has been extremely generous to Hofstra over the years, and the David S. Mack Arena will serve as just the latest reminder on our campus of that generosity,” said Hofstra University President Stuart Rabinowitz, referring to the David S. and Sondra Mack Student Center and Mack Hall, which houses the University Club.

In October 2008 the Mack Sports Complex hosted the third and final debate between presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain, which was broadcast live around the world. The Mack Sports Complex has also hosted performances by NBC Late Night talk show host and comedian Jimmy Fallon and comedian Louis C.K., as well as the 2010 New York Gubernatorial Debate.

The Mack Sports Complex includes full-chair back seating for spectators in an arena configuration. The air-conditioned facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art electronic scoreboard, men’s and women’s locker rooms, a media room, an athletic training room, a large weight room, dressing rooms for stage events, four concession stands, five ticket windows, six luxury boxes and offices for Hofstra’s athletic administration and basketball staffs.

TEAGUE RYAN WRESTLING COMPLEX

The Teague Ryan Wrestling Complex was completed in September 2009 and provides the Pride with one of the finest training facilities in the northeast. The project, which was named in honor of former Head Coach Tom Ryan’s son, Teague, who passed away suddenly in 2004, features the Ray Downey, Sr. Wrestling Room, the Rudy Fiorvanti Strength and Conditioning Room, the Jon Masa Student-Athlete Lounge, renovated office space for the coaching staff, an athletic training area, and a refurbished team locker room.

Hofstra was led by a pair of double-winning juniors in P.J. Gillespie at 165 pounds and Vince Varela at 141 pounds

In the nightcap against the host Fighting Scots of Edinboro, the Pride looked much sharper in their second match of the evening, losing only the matches at 157 and 197 pounds. Hofstra opened up the Edinboro match with four straight wins as red-shirt sophomore Steve Bonanno, blew his match open with a seven-point third period plus the riding time point for a 10-3 victory over freshman Evan Yenolevich to even his record at 1-1. At 133 pounds, senior Lou Ruggirello recorded his 100th victory at Hofstra with a 4-2 victory over senior Eric Morrill on a takedown in the last 35 seconds of the match.

Varela, the transfer from Arizona State, posted his second win of the season with a commanding 12-4 major decision victory over junior Vinny Pisani. Varela yielded just four escapes in the contest to boost the Pride lead to 10-0.

At 149 pounds, red-shirt sophomore Justin Accordino took a 1-0 lead into the third period against #6-ranked junior Torsten Gillespie and then added a takedown and a two-point near-fall for a 5-1 victory over the 2010 All-American. Accordino is now 1-1 on the season.

Edinboro got on the board at 157 pounds as sophomore Johnny Greisheimer downed red-shirt freshman Zach Clemente, 12-6. But the Pride rebounded to capture the next three matches as Gillespie won his second of the day with a 7-4 decision over red-shirt freshman Matt Laird at 165 pounds. Pride senior Ryan Patrovich evened his season record at 1-1 with a strong 6-2 decision over junior Chris Hrunka at 174 pounds.

Hofstra freshman Matt Loew suffered his second loss of the day at 197 pounds, losing by tech fall to junior Shawn Fendone, 15-0 in 5:18 to close the lead to 22-8.

In the first match of the day, the Pride met the Boilermakers of Purdue University, who are tied with Edinboro for 23rd place in the InterMat preseason poll. Only juniors Vince Varela and P.J. Gillespie were able to record decision victories as the Pride fell, 28-6. Starting at 125 pounds, Hofstra red-shirt sophomore Steve Bonanno’s two-point near-fall at the start of the third period gave him a 3-2 lead over Purdue freshman Camden Eppert. But Eppert’s reversal a short time later gave the Boilermaker wrestler a 4-3 victory.

At 133, sixth-ranked Hofstra senior Lou Ruggirello returned to the Pride line-up after red-shirting the 2009-10 season and dropped a hard-fought 2-1 decision to Purdue junior Jake Fleckenstein on a takedown with 30 seconds remaining in the third period.

Varela scored all of his points in the second period and held Eren to escapes in the second and third periods.

Red-shirt sophomore Justin Accordino returned to the Hofstra line-up after wrestling in just four matches and red-shirting after a knee injury last year. The 18th-ranked Accordino was defeated by senior Sam Patacsil, who jumped out to a 5-0 lead after one period on the way to a 9-3 victory at 149 pounds. Red-shirt freshman Zach Clemente, a transfer from Virginia, also made his Hofstra debut and dropped an 11-6 decision to #16 senior Colton Salazar at 157 pounds.

Gillespie, ranked 10th at 165 pounds, closed the gap in the match to 12-6 with a 6-1 victory over freshman Patrick Kissel. Gillespie took a 2-1 lead after one period and then added an escape, takedown and earned the riding time point in the third period. In another hard-fought battle, Hofstra senior and 15th-ranked Ryan Patrovich squared off against Purdue’s 12th-ranked senior Luke Manuel at 174 pounds. Each wrestler recorded escapes in regulation sending the match into overtime tied at 1-1. After a scoreless first sudden victory period and escapes by each wrestler in their tie-breaker periods, Manuel was able to pull out the victory on a takedown with 34 seconds remaining in the second sudden victory period for the 4-2 decision and a 15-6 lead in the match.

At 184 pounds, Hofstra junior Ben Clymer allowed just a first period takedown but could only muster a third period escape as Purdue’s seventh-ranked junior A.J. Kissel recorded a 2-1 decision. At 197 pounds, Hofstra freshman Matt Loew made his collegiate debut against ninth-ranked Purdue senior Logan Brown. Brown rolled to a rare four-point tech fall (no near falls) victory, downing the Pride newcomer, 25-10 at the 6:34 mark.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY, MARCH 4-5 AT CAA CHAMPIONSHIPS: The Hofstra Pride Wrestling Team returned to the top of the Colonial Athletic Association when they captured the 2011 CAA Wrestling Championship at Rider University’s Alumni Gymnasium.

The Pride had four champions, three runners-up, one third place and two fourth place finishers to capture their ninth CAA title in the past 10 seasons. It was also the Pride’s 10th conference title in the last 11 years, missing only the 2010 CAA title which went to Binghamton. Hofstra finished with 94 points followed by Binghamton (78.5), Old Dominion (52.5), Boston U. (46), Rider (43.5), Drexel (25.5), and George Mason (6). Five number one seeds won their weight classes while four number two seeds won.

Leading the way for the Pride was senior Lou Ruggirello , who recorded his fourth CAA title at 133 pounds to advance to his fourth NCAA Championship. Ruggirello (28-3), the top seed, defeated #2 seed Kyle Hutter from Old Dominion, 2-1 on the riding time point in the 133-pound final Saturday. Ruggirello enters the NCAA Championships riding a 14-match winning streak.

Senior Ryan Patrovich, the #2 seed at 174 pounds, will make his third trip to the NCAA Championships later this month but his first as a CAA champion following a 5-4 victory over Boston University sophomore and #4 seed Hunter Meys in the title match. Patrovich (15-5) has competed

in the NCAA Championships as a former CAA finalist, an at-large selection and now as champion.

Sophomore Paul Snyder the top seed at 285 pounds, will make his first NCAA Championship appearance after defeating Drexel sophomore and #2 seed Jack Callender, 11-5 in the championship match. Snyder (25-14) has won six consecutive matches entering the NCAA Championships.

Sophomore Steve Bonanno will be going to his second NCAA Championship after going as a CAA finalist in 2009 after a second-place finish at 125 pounds Saturday. Bonanno (24-10), the #2 seed, dropped a 5-3 decision to Old Dominion senior and #1 seed James Nicholson in the championship match.

Junior P.J. Gillespie will be making his third NCAA Championship appearance following a 3-1 loss in the 165-pound championship match to Binghamton junior and #4 seed Justin Lister. Lister captured the 157-pound title last year. Gillespie (25-7) will be going to nationals as a CAA finalist for the second straight year after going as the 149-pound CAA Champion in 2009.

Junior Vince Varela, the #1 seed at 141 pounds, received an at-large bid on March 9 after dropping an 8-6 decision to Binghamton senior and #2 seed Anwar Goeres. Varela is now 20-13 on the season.

Sophomore Tyler Banks (21-16) posted two wins in the consolation bracket on Saturday to place third at 157 pounds. Banks, the #2 seed, defeated Boston freshman and #5 seed Nick Tourville, 13-5, and George Mason sophomore and #4 seed Jaaziah Bethea, 4-2 in the third place match.

Freshmen Zach Clemente at 149 and Matt Loew at 197 each placed fourth in their respective weight classes. Clemente (16-14) majored Boston sophomore and #6 seed Nestor Taffur, 16-5 before dropping a 6-5 decision to Old Dominion senior and #5 seed Joey Metzler in the third-place match. Loew (15-23) defeated Rider junior and #6 seed Joe Ferber, 3-1 in overtime before dropping an 8-3 decision to Drexel freshman and #2 seed Brandon Palik in the third-place match.

Rider’s 149-pound red-shirt freshman Zac Cibula, the second seed, won his weight class with a 5-4 overtime decision over the seventh ranked wrestler in the nation, top-seeded Donnie Vinson, to earn the CAA Tournament Most Outstanding Wrestler award. Cibula won by fall in the semifinals.

2010-11 Match Summaries 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.

The history of Hofstra Wrestling, which dates back more than 60 years, began as a club team in 1946 and grew quickly to become nationally recognized within two decades.

The first season of Hofstra Wrestling saw Walter “Brick” Stone as the team’s head coach. In its first season as a club team, Hofstra went undefeated in six matches. Home matches were held at Hempstead High School. Three members who helped initiate the first team were Dick Bemson, Frank Fusco and Jim Geiger.

Wrestling became a varsity sport during the 1947-48 season. That year Hofstra entered the NCAA Championships held at Lehigh University after compiling a 5-2-1 record. Under Stone’s direction, the wrestlers set a school record of 16 straight victories during the early 1950s. The 1951-52 squad suffered only two losses en route to a 10-2 season. One of the early program’s outstanding wrestlers was Art Strunk. The next Hofstra wrestlers to enter the national spotlight were Dan Notine and Pete Damone. In 1956 Notine became the first Hofstra wrestler to capture a coveted Middle Atlantic Conference Championship. Damone replaced Stone as the team’s coach in 1960. The early tradition of success continued during Damone’s six-year reign as head coach. Damone produced several fine wrestlers, including Don Hannon (‘60), Tom Haseman (‘61), Dick Snyder (‘63) and Ken Robinson (‘64). The 1965-66 squad won the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Championship and crowned its first Metro title winner, Art Rudolph. In 1966 Bob Getchell became the program’s third coach. Getchell’s first squad produced two Metro Conference winners, Butch Jemmott and Ken Robinson. His second team won the Metro title with Jemmott, Dave Berman and Marty Willigan all taking individual titles, and wrestlers such as Steve Molello offering great contributions to the team. Willigan was named the 1968 Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler. He then went on to the NCAA Championships where he took fourth place, becoming Hofstra’s first All-American.

In 1969 the team finished third in the Metropolitan and Middle Atlantic Conference Championships. Willigan captured second place in the NCAA Championships,

losing in the final round to Iowa State’s legendary Dan Gable, the top wrestler in the United States. Gable would later coach Hofstra’s current head coach, Tom Ryan, while he attended Iowa. The wrestling program continued to develop under Getchell’s direction. Joel Kislin became Hofstra’s second All-American when he placed third at the NCAA Championships in 1973. In 1972-73, Hofstra hosted the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships and placed second. In the mid-1970s, standouts Nick Gallo, a 126-pounder, and Don Mayorga, a heavyweight, began to make their presence felt. They

powered Hofstra to three East Coast Conference Championships. (The Middle Atlantic Conference formed the East Coast Conference during this time.) Gallo went on to become an alternate for the United States team in the 1976 Olympic Games. In 1977 he captured the NCAA Championship at 126 pounds. He also earned the Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler Award. Bob Getchell then left the coaching ranks to become Hofstra’s Director of Athletics. Al Bevilacqua replaced him and continued the winning tradition. Hofstra won six straight ECC Championships from 1975 through 1980. After missing a year at the top in 1981, Hofstra captured two more titles in 1982 and 1983. Hofstra standout Nick Gallo returned to his alma mater in 1979 to direct the program. In his five years at Hofstra, the team posted a 57-32 record and captured three ECC championships. As head coach, Gallo sent 11 wrestlers to the NCAA Championships. Among these 11, Ed Pidgeon, a 1981 All-American, finished fourth nationally while Peter Capone, a two-time All-American, finished seventh and second at the NCAAs. Joe Bavaro took over the reigns as head coach from 1984 through 1987, and led the Dutchmen to another ECC Championship in 1985. Under Bavaro’s leadership, Capone, a 167-pounder, was named the ECC Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler. Mike Arena, a 150-pounder and three-time conference champion, was also named the ECC Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler under Bavaro. In 1987 former Hofstra wrestler and three-time conference champion Tony Arena replaced Joe Bavaro as head of the Hofstra Wrestling program. In his two years at Hofstra, Arena led the team to a 15-17-1 record. Javier Armengau returned to his alma mater in 1989 to take over the Flying Dutchmen program. Armengau wrestled under Gallo and Bavaro and was a three-time captain. As coach at Hofstra, Armengau guided wrestlers such as Ralph Tubello to outstanding careers. The 1992-93 season saw Tubello break 100 career wins and freshman Jason Wartinger become Hofstra’s second first team freshman All-American. (The first was Mike Hogan in 1977.)

History of Hofstra Wrestling

Coach Brick Stone and the 1959 Team

Nick Gallo


Tom Ryan, a Long Island native and a two-time All-American at Iowa, took over the reigns of the program in 1995. Ryan brought in fine recruiting classes and in 1997 was able to coach three wrestlers – Joe Catalanotto, Ryan Edmundson and Mike Quaglio – to NCAA Tournament berths. Catalanotto won an automatic berth by winning the 126-pound title at the ECWA Championships, while Quaglio and Edmundson were at-large selections. In 1998 the Dutchmen were again well represented at the NCAA Championships. Sophomore Eric Schmiesing and senior Russell Jones both received at-large bids, while junior James Hieronymous and senior Mike Quaglio received automatic bids as ECWA Champions. Hofstra finished the year ranked 24th in the NCAA dual meet rankings. In 1999 Hofstra Wrestling reached new heights. Hofstra placed second at the ECWA Championships and crowned five individual champions who would represent the conference at the NCAA Championships. Roman Fleszar, Jason DeBruin, Eric Schmiesing and Zach Miller won four out of the first five weight classes, and a victory by Russell Jones gave the Flying Dutchmen their five champions. Roman Fleszar and Eric Schmiesing advanced to the quarterfinals at the NCAA Championships, lifting the Flying Dutchmen to a 26th-place finish out of the 79 competing institutions. Jason DeBruin was also named New York State Freshman of the Year after compiling a 43-8 record.

Hofstra met and surpassed its 1999 accomplishments in 2000. The Pride crowned four ECWA Champions, Fleszar, Schmiesing, DeBruin and Rob Anspach, and sent six wrestlers to the NCAA Tournament. Fleszar and Schmiesing each placed at their respective weight classes, becoming Hofstra’s first All-American wrestlers since 1985. As a team, Hofstra placed 21 out of 73 teams. The Pride also won the New York State Championship for the second time in three years.

2001 saw Hofstra win its ninth ECWA Championship and first since 1983, and sent a then school-record seven wrestlers (Tom Noto, Roman Fleszar, Eric Schmiesing, Dennis Papadatos, Jason DeBruin, Noel Thompson and Rob Anspach) to the NCAA Tournament. Fleszar and Schmiesing repeated as All-Americans and the team placed 22nd overall at the NCAA. On the year, Hofstra finished ranked 15th in the nation. Tom Ryan was named ECWA Coach of the Year for the second straight year. The 2000-01 season also marked the final season of the ECWA, as the league merged with the Colonial Athletic Association beginning with the 2001-02 season. The Pride won the Colonial Athletic Association title in 2002 and sent seven wrestlers (Tom Noto, Jon Masa, Jason DeBruin, Paul Siemon, John Garriques, Ralph Everett and Chris Skretkowicz) to the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year. Noto, Masa and DeBruin each won individual championships at the CAA Tournament with DeBruin, the tournament’s most outstanding wrestler, becoming Hofstra’s first four-time conference champion. Skretkowicz was named the CAA Rookie of the Year, while Tom Ryan was the CAA Co-Coach of the Year.

The 2002-03 season once again saw Hofstra surpass the achievements of the last season as the team won the Colonial Athletic Association Championship for the second straight year, sent a school-record eight wrestlers (Pat Flynn, Ricky LaForge, Jon Masa, Mike Patrovich, Noel Thompson, Ralph Everett, Brad Christie and Chris Skretkowicz) to the NCAA Championships, and saw Masa and Skretkowicz come home All-Americans. In addition, LaForge was the CAA Championships co-Most Outstanding Wrestler and Tom Ryan won his fourth consecutive conference coach of the year award.

In 2003-04 the Pride continued their winning ways with a 15-5 record in duals, extended their conference match winning streak to 34 by posting an 8-0 conference dual record, captured their third consecutive CAA Championship and in the process had four champions and tied the school mark by sending eight wrestlers (Tom Noto, John Manarte, James Strouse, Paul Siemon, Ralph Everett, Noel Thompson, Brad Christie, and Chris Skretkowicz) to the NCAA Championships in St. Louis. Skretkowicz, who was the CAA Wrestler of the Year, placed fifth to capture his second All-American award as Hofstra finished 20th in the final NCAA Championship standings. Coach Tom Ryan added his fifth straight conference Coach of the Year award to his trophy case.

2004-05 saw the Pride repeat as CAA champions, break the school-record with nine NCAA qualifiers (Dave Tomasette, Charles Griffin, Ricky LaForge, Jon Masa, James Strouse, Mike Patrovich, Paul Siemon, Joe Rovelli, Chris

Skretkowicz), place 17th at the NCAA’s as a team and compile a 13-5 dual meet record. Masa, who was named the CAA Wrestler of the Year, placed third at the NCAA Championship to earn All-America honors for the second time in his career. Hofstra swept the CAA awards as in addition to Masa, Griffin was named the CAA Rookie of the Year and Coach Ryan took home his sixth straight (four CAA and two ECWA) conference Coach of the Year Award.

In 2005-06 the Pride took a giant leap toward the top 10 and finished in 11th place at the NCAA Championships, just one point out of a tie for ninth place. Hofstra, which prepared for the Championships with a challenging schedule all season long as its 11-9 dual meet record indicates and captured its fifth consecutive CAA title, winning seven individual titles and qualifying eight wrestlers for nationals. In addition, the Pride, for the first time in school history, had three All-Americans in Jon Masa, Mike Patrovich and Chris Weidman, and recorded the highest team finish (11th) and most points (52.3) at nationals. Patrovich, who finished fourth at the NCAA Championships, would earn CAA Wrestler of the Year honors, Masa was named the CAA Championship Most Outstanding Wrestler, and Tom Ryan was named the CAA Coach of the Year.

The 2006-07 season was another year for the record books. Under first-year coach Tom Shifflet the Pride set several school records including four All-Americans (Charles Griffin, Chris Weidman, James Strouse and Mike Patrovich) and a best-ever seventh-place finish at the NCAA championships. The tone of the season was set early when the Pride, competing against one of the toughest schedules in school history, defeated #1 Minnesota in the second week of the season at the Northeast Duals. Hofstra would wrestle 11 nationally-ranked opponents and post an 18-4-2 record in dual matches. The team won a sixth consecutive CAA title, posted a 3-2 record and a sixth place finish at the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals in Cedar Falls, Iowa; and a ninth-place finish at the 47-team Cliff Keen/Las Vegas Invitational with four Pride wrestlers placing in the top seven. Griffin would be named the CAA Wrestler of the Year, Patrovich the CAA Championship Tournament Most Outstanding Wrestler, Ruggirello the CAA Rookie of the Year, and Shifflet the CAA Coach of the Year. In 2007-08 the Pride posted their 11th consecutive winning season with a 13-8 record including victories over nationally-ranked opponents Iowa State (4th), Edinboro (13th), Old Dominion (22nd), Bloomsburg (25th) and Harvard (25th). They also went 2-1 at the Northeast Duals, placed third in the Southern Scuffle and 10th at the Cliff Keen/Las Vegas Invitational. Hofstra continued its conference excellence, extending its league undefeated dual match streak to 60 (59-0-1) by posting a perfect 6-0 regular season and then capturing its seventh consecutive CAA Championship and the eighth straight conference title overall. The Pride captured three individual CAA titles and Charles Griffin was named the CAA Wrestler of the Year for the second consecutive season. Seven Hofstra wrestlers competed in the NCAA Championships with Griffin (3rd) and Alton Lucas (8th) earning All-America honors and Lou

Ruggirello, who became Hofstra’s first top-ranked wrestler early in the season, winning the Gorrarian Award at the national championships for the most pins in the shortest amount of time. The 2008-09 season was a rebuilding year for the Pride with six first-time starters making their debut for Hofstra. The Pride defeated #7 Penn State and battled a pair of #5 teams in Missouri and Ohio State down to the wire before falling. But Hofstra’s 63-conference match undefeated streak, including 60 consecutive league wins came to an end in a loss to #21 Old Dominion at the CAA Duals. But the Pride regrouped for the CAA Championships to capture three individual conference titles, their eighth consecutive CAA team title and the ninth straight conference championship. Hofstra, which finished the regular season with a 10-6 overall mark and a 5-1 record in CAA duals, sent eight wrestlers to the NCAA Championships in St. Louis. Red-shirt freshman P.J. Gillespie was named the 2009 CAA Rookie of the Year, Tom Shifflet was voted the CAA Coach of the Year and newcomers Steve Bonanno, Justin Accordino, Ben Clymer, Jordan Enck and Gillespie were named to the CAA All-Freshman team. The 2009-10 season, on paper, had great potential. Unfortunately, injuries dictated a a different finish. After just two weeks of the season, three starters were done, two to injuries and one to a red-shirt, and by the first week of January a fourth starter was finished for the year. With a shuffling, inexperienced line-up, the Pride battled through a 6-12-2 season including a 4-3 mark in the CAA. Hofstra’s streak of nine consecutive conference titles, including eight in the CAA, ended as the Pride placed fifth at the conference championships. Three Hofstra wrestlers, Jonny Bonilla-Bowman, P.J. Gillespie and Ben Clymer, qualified for the NCAA Championships. Freshmen Luke Vaith and Paul Snyder were named to the CAA All-Rookie team at 133 and 285 pounds, respectively. The Pride rebounded during the 2010-11 season and returned to wrestlers to the NCAA Championship All-America stand at seasons end. Hofstra, wrestling a challenging schedule that included five nationally-ranked opponents including top-ranked Cornell, posted a 14-4-1 dual match record including a 5-1 mark in the Colonial Athletic Association. The Pride’s regular season tournaments prepared them for the post-season as Hofstra placed 11th at the Cliff Keen-Las Vegas Invitational, ninth at The Southern Scuffle, and fifth at the New York State Championships. Hofstra returned to the top of the CAA, after a one-year absence, recording four conference champions in Lou Ruggirello, Ryan Patrovich, Ben Clymer and Paul Snyder. Three more Pride grapplers, Steve Bonanno (NWCA All-Academic), Vince Varela and P.J. Gillespie, also qualified for the NCAA Championships bringing the Hofstra total to seven. Ruggirello, who ended his illustrious career by winning his fourth conference title and earning Capital One-CoSIDA Academic All-America and NWCA All-Academic honors, reached the NCAA Championship All-American stand, placing seventh at 133 pounds. Gillespie also reached the All-American stand for the first time, placing eighth at 165 pounds.

The Hofstra University wrestling program is proud

to honor the memory of an American hero FDNY Deputy Chief Ray Downey with the Ray Downey Memorial Scholarship. Chief Downey, who served as Chief of Special Operations Command, lost his life heroically during the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

Ray Downey was appointed to the FDNY on April 7, 1962. In August 2001, he was placed in charge of all SOC (Special Operations Command) operations - Rescue, Squad, Haz Mat and Marine - and promoted to Deputy Chief. Chief Downey’s phenomenal 39-year career with the FDNY was built upon success after success and rescue after rescue. One of the most - if not the most decorated men in the Department, Chief Downey received five individual medals for valor and 16 unit citations.

A devoted family man who lived in Deer Park, New York, with his wife, Rosalie; father of five married children, Joseph, Marie, Chuck, Ray Jr. and Kathy; and adored grandfather of nine, Chief Downey was an avid fan of the sport of wrestling and supporter of the Hofstra wrestling program, where his sons Joe and Ray Jr. were outstanding athletes. Chief Downey loved wrestling, and he always attended their matches. He continued to support the Hofstra wrestling program long after his sons graduated.

After his passing, the Downey family, longtime supporters of Hofstra University and the Pride wrestling program, created a scholarship fund to honor Chief Downey’s memory. Funds contributed are used to endow scholarships in Chief Downey’s name and will provide financial assistance to the Hofstra University wrestling program. Chief Downey’s sons, Joseph, Chuck and Ray Jr., were successful athletes at Deer Park High School, and earned bachelor’s degrees from respected universities through athletic scholarship opportunities. Recipients of these funds will demonstrate the integrity, work ethic, discipline and courage that Deputy Chief Raymond Downey exemplified throughout his life. The 2011 recipient of the Ray Downey Scholarship Award was senior Jeff Rotella from West Windsor, New Jersey.

The Ray Downey Sr. Memorial Scholarship Fund Day, which is scheduled for Wednesday, January 28 against Army, is a unique opportunity to honor Chief Downey’s memory as well as to support student-athletes.
