2012 UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE2

The University of New Hampshire volleyball team, which opened conference play last season by winning seven of eight matches en route to a second-place finish, is coming off a remarkable turnaround season. The Wildcats ripped through the league slate and qualified for their second America East Tournament appearance in the last three years. Now, equipped with four standout upperclassmen, eight returnees and a promising group of newcomers, all signs point to continued success this season. Head coach Jill Hirschinger, who returns for her 17th season at the helm, fields a talented roster including a pair of all-conference second team selections in Jansan Falcusan and Morgan Thatcher as the team makes a run toward a fourth league title.

Outside Hitters/Right-Side Hitters: Junior right-side hitter Morgan Thatcher (Brockton, Mass.) is coming off a breakout campaign and should continue to be a powerful force for the Wildcats up front. Thatcher, named one of the team’s tri-captains following an all-conference campaign, racked up 289 kills for 2.56 kills per set and notched double-digit kills 17 times during the season. Joining Thatcher will be a group of four freshmen, consisting of outside hitters Abigail Brinkman (Brecksville, Ohio), Victoria For-rest (Powder Springs, Ga.), Elizabeth Kennerly (Westlake, Calif.) and Margaret Kenney (Nashua, N.H.). Brinkman was a two-time all-conference selection, including first team as a senior, and helped her team to a pair of State Final Four appearances. Forrest, a two-time 5-A All-Area Player of the Year, set school records for single-season kills, career kills and single-season serve receive percentage. Kennerly was a former All-Tournament player as a junior, while Kenney earned All-State First Team honors as a senior. A local product, Kenney was also the runner-up for the Gatorade Player of the Year award.

Middle Blockers: UNH will turn to junior Destiny Tolliver (Rochester, Mich.) and sophomore Delaney Dameron (Alpharetta, Ga.) to provide a strong presence in the middle this season. Tolliver, coming off an all-rookie team selection as a freshman, fought through injuries during the second half of the season and still managed to post 79 kills and 135 digs. Dameron recorded 26 kills, 23 blocks and an impressive .243 attack percentage in 10 matches. Joining the duo in the middle will be freshmen Brenna Buckwalter (Evergreen, Colo.) and Cassidy Croci (Sylvania, Ohio). Buckwalter earned All-Conference First-Team honors during her junior year at Evergreen Senior High School. Croci was named to the OHSVCA Division I All-Ohio First Team and was also selected as both the District 7 and Three Rivers Athletic Conference Player of the Year.

Setters: Returning as a team captain and the starting setter is senior Jansan Falcusan (Plym-outh, Mich.), who is coming off an impressive 2011 season after two years of waiting in the wings as the backup. Falcusan ranked fifth in the America East with 8.71 assists per set and second in conference matches with 10.46 assists per set, helping her earn a spot on the America East All-Conference Second-Team. Throughout the season, Falcusan recorded 10 double-doubles on the season including a 62-assist, 12-dig performance. Sophomore Taylor Dunklau (Mukowonago, Wis.) will serve as the backup setter this fall after logging some valuable playing time last year. Dunklau re-corded 111 assists and 3.47 assists per set in 32 sets played during her rookie season.

Defensive Specialists: Senior Jessie Schnepp (East Longmeadow, Mass.), who will serve as a team captain, is back to provide solid defense on the back line this season. A forceful server with plenty of experience, Schnepp led the team with 28 service aces last fall and also ranked third with 2.41 digs per set. Sophomore Sam Henke (Millersville, Md.) took over as the team’s libero midway through her rookie campaign and is primed for an even stronger season with one year of experience under her belt. Henke enjoyed a standout freshman season as she led the team with 365 digs, which ranked fifth in the conference, and ranked second with 25 service aces. Sophomore Katie Sattora (Avon, N.Y.) returns after appearing in 23 matches in 43 sets as a freshman. Sattora was a solid contributor off the bench for the Wildcats, playing in the final 10 matches down the stretch

and logged 24 kills during the year. The defensive trio is joined by freshman Madison Lightfoot (Clarkston, Mich.), who was named to the All-Region First Team last year. Lightfoot is a four-time league champion out of Clarkston High School, while fellow freshman Forrest will also see some time as a defensive specialist this season.

Schedule: New Hampshire will kick off the 2012 campaign on Friday, Aug. 24 at the Villanova Classic. UNH will take on the host lineup as well as Maryland and Robert Morris in the two-day invite on the campus of Villanova University. The Wildcats then open up home action on Tuesday, Aug. 28 when they welcome Northeastern to Lundholm Gymnasium for a single non-conference match.

From there, UNH heads back out on the road (Aug. 31- Sept. 1) to take part in the Rutgers Invitational with Iona and Rhode Island before returning home to take on top-level competition at the annual Holly Young Invitational. New Hampshire opens the Holly Young Invite with Patriot League opponent Holy Cross (Sept. 7 – 7 p.m.) before facing Central Connecticut State (Sept. 8 – 12:30 p.m.) and William & Mary (Sept. 8 – 7 p.m.). The ‘Cats will then travel to Smithfield, R.I. for a non-conference matchup at Bryant on Tuesday, Sept. 11, followed by a trip to Washington D.C. for the George Washington Invitational. UNH will face off against the host Colonials as well as Princeton and BYU over the weekend (Sept. 14-15).

The Wildcats then kick off a three-match homestand when they take on Harvard on Tuesday, Sept. 18. New Hampshire opens America East Conference play on Saturday, Sept. 22 when it hosts Providence at 2:00 p.m. before wrapping up non-conference action against intrastate rival Dartmouth on Sept. 23. After two straight road matches to round out September, the ‘Cats host Stony Brook on Friday, Oct. 5 for the first of six matches in the month of October. UNH ends the regular season with three matches in November, capped off with a home tilt against reigning conference champion Albany on Sunday, Nov. 11.

The Wildcats will look to earn a spot in the four-team America East tournament slated for Nov. 16-17 at the site of the highest seed.

Overall, UNH will play seven teams in the top half of the RPI, including four in the top 100 (BYU – 57, Northeastern – 76, Albany – 85, Villanova – 100, George Washington – 116, Princeton – 155, Dartmouth – 160). The Wildcats have won three America East Tournament titles (1998, 2002, 2003) and earned three NCAA appearances in school history, all of which have come under Coach Hirschinger.

Jill Hirschinger, a four-time America East Coach of the Year, enters her 17th season as head coach of the University of New Hampshire volleyball program, marking her 34th season as a head vol-leyball coach. Hirschinger was named the head coach of the Wildcat volleyball program in the spring of 1996 by former athletic director Judy Ray, in the second season that UNH regained its varsity status. In her 17 years at UNH, she has become the program’s winningest coach and the first to surpass the 200-win milestone as she currently has 250 victories. Not to mention she has guided the Wildcats to 20-win seasons six times during her tenure in Durham. Hirschinger earned her 200th career win at UNH when the team captured a 3-1 win over Southern Method-ist University in the deciding match of the UNH Tournament on Sept. 15, 2007. Hirschinger has spent the past 34 seasons as a head coach at both the Division I and II lev-els. She has accumulated an impressive 659-481-10 overall record, owning a .578 winning per-centage. Hirschinger’s 659 career-coaching victories rank her 11th on the all-time active NCAA wins list. She reached the 600 win plateau in the second-to-last match of the regular season in 2006 with a 3-2 win over America East rival Binghamton on Nov. 11 at Lundholm Gym. She also coached a pair of All-American honorable mentions (Aly Coler and Beth Cole) during her tenure at UNH. Last season Hirschinger coached her Wildcats to a record of 10-20, including an 8-4 mark in conference play. The Wildcats won seven of their first eight games to kick off league action,

highlighted by a 3-0 sweep over reigning America East Champion Albany to hand the Great Danes their only conference loss of the season. UNH earned the second seed in the America East Tournament but fell to Stony Brook, 3-1, in the semifinal round. Hirschinger won the 2003 America East Coach of the Year after guiding the program to its second-straight championship with a 23-12 overall record and a 12-2 mark in conference play. UNH faced No. 1- and eventual national champion- Southern California in the team’s third appearance in the NCAA Tournament under Coach Hirschinger. In 2002, Hirschinger guided the ’Cats to a 23-11 overall record and the team earned its second America East title in school history, along with the second NCAA Tournament berth in UNH history. The Wildcats fell to Big Ten champion Minnesota in four games, becoming the first team in America East to win a game in the NCAA Tournament since the NCAA went to a 64-team format. In 1998, Hirschinger led UNH to a 24-11 overall record with a perfect 14-0 mark in America East action. The Wildcats had a banner season, defeating conference rival Hofstra for the school’s first-ever America East championship and first appearance in the NCAA Tournament against the nationally ranked University of Arkansas. The Wildcats tallied the second-most wins in school history with 24 (26 in 1980). Hirschinger also earned America East Coach of the Year for the second year in a row, while several players garnered all-conference awards. She also guided the ‘Cats to a school-record 14 consecutive wins in 1998. Hirschinger took over the Wildcat program in 1996, when the team was in just its second year at the Division I varsity level since 1984. She led the young team to a 6-26 overall record, which included victories in four of the Wildcats’ final six matches. Hirschinger recorded her 500th career coaching victory Oct. 15, 2000 vs. Drexel and she posted her 100th career victory at UNH on Nov. 18, 2000 vs. Northeastern in the America East semifinal match. She was appointed to the 17-member AVCA Board of Directors in May of 2005. Hirschinger also served as Chair for the AVCA All-America committees as well as on the regional ranking advisory committee for the NCAA. She served three years as the Senior Women’s Administrator in UNH’s Athletic Department from 2001-2004. She currently represents America East on the AVCA Division I Head Coaches Committee. Before coming to Durham, Hirschinger spent the previous 12 seasons at Ferris State University, located in Big Rapids, Mich. Hirschinger registered 11 winning seasons and ended her stay at Ferris as the winningest coach in Bulldog history with a 330-151 (.686) overall record. She led FSU to seven Division II postseason playoff appearances and recorded a milestone 400th victory in that span. Hirschinger was named Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year (GLIAC) on four occasions, regional Coach of the Year three times, and led the Bulldogs to an NCAA Final Four appearance in 1987 and Elite Eight appearance in 1989. She also coached nine All-Americans and two academic All-Americans while coaching the Bulldogs. Hirschinger also owns the NCAA record with 46 consecutive wins, while at FSU. In addition to her coaching duties at Ferris State, Hirschinger served as an Assistant Athletic Director and was in charge of NCAA compliance at the school. She was a member of the NCAA Division II national volleyball committee, and also served on the All-America and National Golf Committees. Hirschinger was inducted into the FSU Athletic Hall of Fame in the summer of 2008. Prior to her arrival at Ferris State, Hirschinger began her collegiate volleyball coaching career at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. During her five-year stint at Drake, she guided the NCAA Division I program to two appearances at the U.S. Volleyball Asso-ciation’s National Tournament and an Iowa Division I state title. She compiled a 79-90-10 (.469) record during her tenure at Drake. A 1979 graduate of Utah State University, Hirschinger compiled

an impressive athletic resume during her collegiate career, excel-ling in volleyball, garnering all-conference, all-region and team captain recognition while helping the Aggies claim the AIAW Di-vision I national championship and Collegiate Classic North America Cup championship in 1978. Hirsch-inger was also a standout in track and field, qualifying nationally (1976-79) in the javelin and placing 10th in 1977. She received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education at Utah State. In the winter of 2008, Hirschinger and the rest of the 1978 National Championship team were inducted into the Utah State Athletic Hall of Fame.

assoCiate Head CoaCH staCy BarnettStacy Barnett enters her eighth season overall at UNH and her fifth season in which she has served as Associate Head Coach. Barnett was promoted to her current position after serving three seasons as the top assistant coach with the Wildcat volleyball program. She returned to her alma mater after a successful playing career (1997-2000) as the starting setter on the school’s first America East title-winning team in 1998 and was also a part of the Wild-cat coaching staff that won the 2002 America East Championship. Barnett plays an integral part in the day-to-day operations of the program with a strong work ethic and a competitive edge to help UNH get to the next level. Barnett is primarily responsible for assisting Coach Hirschinger as the team’s recruiting coordinator, coaching the Wildcat setters, developing the ‘Cats offensive systems and working with the players on skill development and technical training. Over the past four seasons, she coached Kate Uitti, who was named a three-time America East All-Conference honoree and finished her career second on the all-time assists list at UNH behind only Barnett, and Sara Heldman, who was named the 2010 America East Setter or the Year. Barnett is also active nationally as she serves on the assistant coaches’ committee for the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA). Prior to UNH, Barnett served as the graduate assistant coach at the

University of Delaware for two seasons under head coach Bonnie Kenny. In her second year at Delaware, Barnett helped the team to its first appearance at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships in school history. Barnett has also coached with the Seacoast Junior Olympic Volleyball Program for seven years (1999-2006) and now sits on the board of directors. While at UNH, Barnett was the starting setter in three of her four years in Durham and she helped guide the team to the school’s first-ever America East championship and NCAA ap-pearance in 1998. During her playing tenure in Durham, the Wildcats appeared in the America East Championship match all four years. Barnett was named to the America East All-Confer-ence Team in 1998, 1999 and 2000. She captained the Wildcats in 1998 and 2000, received the Coaches’ Award in 1997 and was part of the best four-year record in program history. Barnett earned Most Valuable Player at the 2000 annual team awards banquet. Barnett, who graduated from UNH in 2001 with a B.A. degree in Communications, was the first player in school history to post 3,000 assists and the third player in the 1,000-dig club. Barnett completed her Master’s Degree in Education from Delaware with an emphasis in Leadership in the fall of 2006. Her 3,977 career assists still stand as a school record and she also holds the top two single-season assists marks with 1,350 in 2000 and 1,291 in 1999. Barnett, a native of Crystal Lake, Ill., played club volleyball for Sky High and was MVP of the Tampa Bay National Qualifier tournament in 1996 and 1997.

Hirschinger about Barnett:“Stacy has made an impact since returning to UNH volleyball. As the recruiting coordinator, we have had great success in our recruiting classes. She has a good eye for not just recruiting good players but good players with heart and attitude. Responsible of the setters she really demands a lot from them, not just as setter, but being masters of ‘how to beat the game.’ There is so much more to setting that Stacy takes to another level.”

The Sports Medicine Department at the University of New Hampshire consists of eight full- and part-time certified and licensed ath-letic trainers. The department works out of two locations – the Field House and the Whittemore Center. Both athletic training rooms utilize currently available modalities, including muscle stimulators, ultrasound, heat, cryotherapy, and hydrotherapy. The Certified Athletic Trainer provides a myriad of services to the department and the student-athlete. These include, but are not limited to, initial injury assessment and management, emergency injury/illness management, referral to appropriate professionals, interface with associated physicians and others, rehabilitation, counseling, administrative duties, including insurance coordination, supervision of practices and games, development and implementation of emergency plans, as well as student athletic trainer supervi-sion. The athletic training room is considered to be “a designated facility where comprehensive health care services are provided. Comprehensive health care services include practice and game preparation, injury/illness evaluation, first aid and emergency care,

follow-up care, rehabilitation and related services.” (National Athletic Trainer’s Association Education Council). The University has two athletic training rooms in use, one at the Whittemore Center Arena, which primarily serves the Wildcat hockey, field hockey and lacrosse teams, and one in the Field House, which is the headquarters of UNH Athletic Training and for the Wildcat volleyball program. All of the athletic training facilities utilize the currently available modalities, including muscle stimulators, ultrasound, heat, cryotherapy and hydrotherapy. The athletic training rooms also serve as the primary site for all post-injury rehabilitation. Christine Alarcon, a 2010 graduate of the University of New Hampshire, joined the UNH Sports Medicine staff in summer 2010. Alarcon is a licensed athletic trainer in the state of New Hampshire. She also has a NATABOC cerrtification and is certified as a CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer & Healthcare Provider as well as a First Responder. She was a National Athletic Trainer’s Association (NATA) Student Member and is currently a Career Starter Member. Her primary responsibilities at UNH include providing preventative care, treatment, evaluations and rehabilitation for the women’s volleyball and women’s lacrosse teams. As a three-year student athletic trainer at New Hampshire, Alarcon worked specifically with the football, women’s basketball, men’s soccer as well as men’s and women’s track & field teams. She also worked at UNH’s football and volleyball summer camps.

Sports Medicine

John Ciani is entering his 11th year directing the strength and conditioning program for the UNH volleyball program. He received his Bachelorate degree in Psychology from Long Beach State and worked on his Master’s Degree in Exercise Science at the University of North Dakota. Ciani, a native of the San Diego, Calif. area, came to UNH after a stint as Assistant Strength Coach at the University of North Dakota. During his tenure at UND, Coach Ciani worked primarily with the 2001 Division II national championship football team, women’s volleyball and men’s basketball teams. In 2000, Ciani began his career in Strength and Conditioning at Long Beach State as a graduate assistant working with the perennial national power women’s volleyball team, where he trained many All-American and national team-level volleyball players, including Misty May.

Paul Chapman enters his 11th year as the director of strength and conditioning at the University of New Hamp-shire and John Ciani is entering his 11th year with the UNH athletic department. After four years as an assistant coach in the University’s strength and conditioning office, Ciani was promoted to the position of Associate Director of Strength and Conditioning in 2006.

Chapman and Ciani helped coordinate the building of the state-of-the-art Jerry Azumah Performance Center and both have been key in guiding UNH student-athletes to NCAA appear-ances in both women’s and men’s ice hockey, football, gymnastics, women’s volleyball, women’s lacrosse, skiing and track and field.

Coach Ciani is very passionate about his commitment to Volleyball Strength and Condition-ing. He has taken his wide range of experiences to come up with very distinct volleyball-specific training philosophies. In conjunction with the coaching staff, Coach Ciani develops individualized

training programs depending on the athlete’s initial evaluation, experience level, and current athletic ability. Under Ciani’s program, improvement is not based on how much weight is on the bar or how high an athlete can jump, but rather the health of the player and their performance on the court.

The volleyball strength and conditioning program created by Ciani utilizes all facets of training, from basic strength training and Olympic Weightlifting to simple conditioning and volleyball-specific conditioning that enhances the athlete’s abilities during competition. No single training style dominates the program; Ciani uses a combination of all training techniques for the total development of the volleyball player.

When asked about UNH volleyball, Ciani said, ”UNH volleyball’s commitment to strength and conditioning is second to none because of their high level of intensity, effort, and innate desire to be better than anyone else.” In addition, Ciani said, “Volleyball athletes have to be able to produce, absorb, and distribute an immense amount of power and to do this they have to physically and mentally be at their best.”

In response to Ciani’s training program and coaching style, former volleyball player and member of the 1,000-kill club, Emmy Blouin, comments, “Ciani creates an incredible atmosphere that encourages a strong focus on technique and form, but also brings an intensity and enthusiasm that is unrivaled. The team really looks forward to working with him because of his dedication to personalizing each program to the player and his eagerness for our success.”

Athletic excellence is one-half the formula for success in the collegiate experience for University of New Hampshire athletes.

In both the Fall 2004 and Winter/Spring 2005 semesters, UNH placed the highest number of student-athletes on the America East Honor Roll; the University accomplished the feat again in Fall ‘06 and Fall ‘09. New Hampshire also boasts one of the top graduation rates in the country. UNH is dedicated to enhancing the student-athlete’s ability to achieve academic excellence. Realizing the time commitment the players give to the school, the University administers a comprehensive program of academic support services that is available to Wildcat football players and all other student-athletes. This program includes the monitoring of academic progress and providing tutorial services, as well as interacting with the academic advisors within the various colleges.

Marty Scarano - Director of Athletics The 2012-13 academic year marks the 13th season Marty Scarano has served as the Director of Athletics at the University of New Hampshire. During his tenure, Scarano has heightened national exposure for UNH athletics with academics, facility renovations and programmatic advancement be-ing top priorities. His many accomplishments played a key role in UNH being named one of the Top 20 Athletic Departments in the Country in U.S. News and World Report college athletics rankings. With a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 89 percent among its student-athletes in 2011-12, UNH ranked third in the America East Conference and fourth in the Colonial Athletic Association. The men’s soccer, women’s cross country/track, gymnastics, women’s ski, and volleyball teams all posted perfect 100 percent GSRs while five additional programs tallied scores of 90 or above. The NCAA honored four Wildcat teams for multi-year Academic Progress Rates (APRs) in the top 10 percent of all teams in its respective sports. The Wildcat men’s ice hockey team and gymnastics both recorded perfect APRs of 1,000, while the men’s outdoor track & field team tallied 997 points and women’s indoor track & field notched 995. In 2012, the football program garnered its second-consecutive Academic Progress Rate Award for the Colonial Athletic Association. UNH became one of only five FCS programs in the nation to earn the title for a second straight year and the only FCS team in the country to both reach the postseason and capture an APR award in back-to-back seasons. UNH finished third in the America East Academic Cup for their third consecutive top-three finish, achieving a 3.14 cumulative grade-point average. The Wildcats had the highest number of honorees on the 2011 America East Fall Academic Honor Roll and the highest percentage of student-athletes on the 2011-12 America East Winter/Spring Academic Honor Roll. In the fall, 52 student-athletes were named to the America East Commissioner’s

Honor Roll for achieving a GPA mark of 3.5 or higher while 76 student-athletes accomplished the feat on the winter/spring honor roll. Scarano has focused on moving UNH athletics into the collegiate national arena. To accomplish that goal, the University has taken on the task of hosting major NCAA championships. The Wildcat athletic department has played host to highly successful NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Northeast Regionals at the Verizon Wireless Arena (Manchester, N.H.) in 2004, 2007, 2009 and 2011 and will host again in 2013. UNH has also had the opportunity to host two NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey Frozen Fours at the Whittemore Center in 2002 and 2005. In addition, UNH successfully hosted the 2007 NCAA Skiing Championships in Washington Valley as well as the 2005 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Northeast Regional at the Whittemore Center Arena. The women’s hockey team also played in the first outdoor game in the history of NCAA women’s hockey in 2010 at the Sun Life Frozen Fenway game against Northeastern while the men’s squad played in the 2012 Sun Life Frozen Fenway game against Maine. Football also competed in Colonial Clash games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. in 2010 and 2011 against UMass. During the Scarano Era, UNH teams have made 40 NCAA post-season appearances and have captured 11 conference titles. Gymnastics has participated in 11 NCAA tournaments, leading all programs over the span. Men’s hockey holds a pair of Hockey East titles and has made 10 trips to the NCAA tournament, a pair of Frozen Four appearances in 2002 and 2003. The football program has qualified for the NCAA FCS postseason for a nation leading eight consecutive seasons, advancing to the quarterfinals six times during the streak. Women’s ice hockey has seen NCAA action five times with two Frozen Four appearances. The squad also captured consecutive Hockey East Championships from 2006-09. The field hockey team captured its second ever America East crown in 2011 en route to their second national tournament appearance under Scarano’s tutelage. Volleyball has made a pair of NCAA appearances after capturing back-to-back conference titles in 2002 and 2003 Women’s lacrosse has too earned a pair of NCAA berths (2004, 2008), one coming after an America East championship victory in 2004. Additionally, 24 coaches have won 63 Coach of the Year awards during Scarano’s tenure, ranging from conference coach of the year to New England and Northeast Regional Coach of the Year honors. Furthermore, head football coach Sean McDonnell garnered the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year by The Sports Network in 2005 after a stellar 11-2 campaign. There have been over $9 million in capitol improvements since Scarano’s hiring in the summer of 2000. Recently, a new scoreboard was put in at Cowell Stadium while the football locker room received a facelift as part the most recent renovation phase. Changes to the locker room included a new lighting system while a 55-inch flat-screen TV and Fathead-designed murals featuring former players and UNH historical were added to the walls. A memorial of Todd Walker was also added in honor of the former Wildcat wide receiver who suffered an untimely and heroic death in March of 2011. In the summer of 2007, the Cowell Stadium grass field was replaced with a $1 million Field Turf synthetic surface. As part of a $650,000 renovation project in the summer of 2011, the field turf at Bremner Field was replaced with a new state-of-the-art surface used by many varsity teams and for student recreational activities. In the fall of 2008, the Paul Sweet Oval renovation was completed to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture. The total cost of the project exceeded $500,000. Additionally in 2007, a complete renovation of Lundholm Gymnasium was undertaken. The $600,000 overhaul included a new state-of-the-art bleacher system, new scoreboards, competition baskets and other aesthetic enhancements. In 2007, Scarano was named the All-American Football Foundation Athletic Director of the Year for FCS football in the Northeast region. Scarano was also awarded the National As-sociation of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) AD of the Year for the FCS. Scarano has also been an active member in the leadership of UNH’s three major conferences and was the chair of the executive committees for Atlantic 10 football, Hockey East and America East from 2003 to 2007. He also served as chair of the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Committee in 2005-06 and 2006-07 and is currently on the America East Executive Council. Most recently, Scarano was a member of the Hockey East Restructuring team that successfully recruited Notre Dame and the University of Connecticut to the conference. Outside of athletics, Scarano is in his 10th year on the Board of Corporators at Canterbury Shaker Village, a non-profit museum located in Canterbury, N.H. Before arriving at the University of New Hampshire, Scarano held the position of Athletics Director at Colorado College from July 1996 through June 2000. During his tenure, Colorado College was ranked among the top 20 Division III programs in the Sears Cup national standings and produced several All-Americans, all-academic award winners and NCAA post-graduate scholarship recipients. Prior to his stay in Colorado Springs, Scarano worked for 13 years at Colgate University, where he served as assistant director of athletics, director of physical education, associate director, and senior associate director. Scarano, a native of Pittsburgh, Pa., is a 1978 graduate of Penn State University, where he started his athletic career as assistant ticket manager and the athletics events manager from 1980-83. Scarano holds a Master’s Degree in Environmental History from Colgate. He and his wife, Cydney, have three children, Lyndon, Kyle, a sophomore at UNH, and Corey.

Mark W. Huddleston became the 19th president of the University of New Hampshire in July 2007, bringing three decades of experi-ence in public and private education as a faculty member, dean, and senior administrator. Huddleston has been a strong advocate for increasing affordability and accessibility in higher education, and has argued that we need to rethink much of what we do to protect our core missions, and to ensure that higher education remains vital and financially sustainable in the 21st century. In February 2010, he presented a 10-year strategic plan for UNH, the result of an intensive collaboration between faculty, students, staff, alumni, and the University’s wider communities. Emphasizing innovation and entrepreneurship, the plan is helping to guide the Univer-sity’s response to a historic state budget cut passed by the 2011 New Hampshire Legislature. “The strategic plan commits us to finding new ways to teach, learn, discover, create, and engage in the 21st century—and positions UNH to become a national leader in the redefinition of American higher education,” Huddleston says. Huddleston was raised in Syracuse, N.Y., and was the first member of his family ever to attend college. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from the State University of New York-Buffalo, and both a master’s degree and Ph.D. in political science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He began his academic career at SUNY-Buffalo in 1977 as an assistant professor of political science. In 1980, he joined the faculty of the University of Delaware, where he served for the next 24 years. There, he chaired the Department of Political Science and International Relations and served as associate provost for international programs. In 2001, he was named dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, overseeing 45 academic departments and centers with nearly 900 full-time faculty and staff, and serving in that capacity until he was named president of Ohio Wesleyan University in 2004. An author of numerous books and articles, he has been a consultant for both the U.S. government and international organizations. He also served as an adviser in Bosnia on rebuilding financial and administrative infrastructures after the Dayton accords.Huddleston is chair of the Presidents Council of the America East Conference, an incorporator of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Speedway Children’s Charities. Huddleston and his wife, Emma Bricker, have three children, Andy, Kate, and Giles.

The University of New Hampshire was originally founded as a land-grant college whose mission was to shape and educate citizenry among the state’s farmers, business people and engineers. Today, the University is a land-, sea-, and space-grant university serving a growing undergraduate stu-dent body of about 11,942 and a graduate population of 2,257 in addition to 621 full-time faculty members, 86% of which have earned their doctorate degree. The University has grown into a top public research university occupying 2,600 acres of classic living and learning space, while still maintaining the look and feel of a New England liberal arts college with a faculty dedicated to teaching. UNH’s student to faculty ratio registers at 18:1 with 85% of its classes having 50 students or less.

History As one of the most prestigious institutions in the Northeast, the University of New Hampshire has always been recognized as a leader in education and research, spanning all fields of study and uniting them through interdisciplinary programs, labs, farms, theatres, research centers, and libraries. Founded in 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, UNH was among the early state institutions of higher educa-tion whose formation was made possible by federal government land grants. The purpose for the grants was to establish colleges that would serve the sons and daughters of farming and laboring families. New Hampshire College was originally situated in Hanover, N.H. Here it was in connection with Dartmouth College before moving to Durham in 1893 after Benjamin Thompson bequeathed land and money to further the development of the college. The state legislature then granted its new charter as the University of New Hampshire in 1923. The University hosts 733 international students from more than 45 countries and boasts a population of students from all 50 states. Along with over 100 majors offered, UNH encompasses seven schools and colleges that undergraduates can choose from: the College of Liberal Arts, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, School of Health and Human Services, College of Life Sciences and Agricultures, Whittemore School of Business and Economics, and the Thompson School of Applied Science. And at the very heart of the University’s undergraduate studies is the General Education Program. The GEP is a core program with a breadth of academic subjects that aims to acquaint the student with some of the major modes of thought necessary to understand oneself, others, society, and the world. The University prides itself as being a top 10 entrepreneurial campus (Forbes.com and The Princeton Review) and is among the top 30 universities nationally in science research funding from NASA. UNH is home to the NASA-recognized Space Science Center; the Institute for Study for Earth, Oceans and Space; and the Institute of Marine Science and Engineering. The English program is staffed by an inspiring faculty of winners of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the MacArthur Fellowship, the Edgar Allen Poe Award and the Young Poets Award. In addition, the Whittemore School of Business and Economics, established in 1962, was recently selected second among all business schools in a nationwide pool of business school deans. UNH also graduates students who attend top-notch graduate schools, including Law School at Harvard and Cornell, Engineering at Stanford, and Medical School at Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, and Harvard.

Campus In recent years, several of the athletic facilities have received major upgrades and improvements. In September of 2001, the University completed a new $2.15 million track and field facility. The Jerry Azumah Performance Center, a strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House,

was dedicated on July 8, 2003. Renovations to the Center included the addition of 5,000 pounds of Olympic weights, 7,000 pounds of dumbbells, 14 Powerlift platform stations, 12 Hammer strength machines and an additional 15,000 pounds of weights. UNH athletics also added two $1.5 million outdoor artificial fields, Memorial Field and Bremner Field. Lundholm Gymnasium has received some major overhauls, including a new playing surface, new lights, new sound system, new bleacher system, new backboards and new scoreboards. The Paul Sweet Oval was also renovated to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture. In the 2012 offseason, Cowell Stadium was fitted with a brand new scoreboard while the football locker rooms were renovated as well. In the locker rooms, a new lighting system was installed while a 55-inch flat-screen TV and Fathead-designed murals featuring former players and UNH historical were added to the walls. A memorial of Todd Walker was also added in honor of the former Wildcat wide receiver. Walker suf-fered an untimely and heroic death March 18, 2011, in Boulder, Colo., when he stopped an attempted robbery and saved the life of a woman he was walking home. In November of 1995, construction of the $27 million Recreation and Sport Complex reached completion. The Whittemore Center includes a state-of-the-art 6,500 to 7,500 seat arena for hockey, concerts and convocations, as well as a new three-level

recreational sports facility within the structure that had housed the old Snively Arena. In addition to the incredible improvements of its athletic facilities, the University has upgraded and renovated a large part of its academic campus as well. The latest addition to the expanding campus is the Paul College of Business and Economics, a 115,000 square foot academic building located on Garrison Avenue. Slated for completion in January 2013, the building will feature 16 technology-rich classrooms, totaling 950 new instructional seats.

There will also be 25 high-tech groups study rooms along with a two-story “Great Hall” for informal and special events. Outside of the facility, there will be a courtyard for outdoor activities and events. The building will be a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold facility, maintaining the University’s commitment to sustainable programs and facilities. The University broke ground on the project in May 2011. Thompson Hall, one of the standing historical landmarks of the University, has also been beautifully refurbished and restored. The University completed a $52 million renovation of Kingsbury Hall in October of 2007, adding 6,000 square feet of student project space for students in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, as well as a $4.5 million revamp of Hewitt Hall to expand the School of Health and Human Services. In addition, the 120,000 square foot Biological Sciences Building, Rudman Hall and the Spaulding Life Sciences Renovation project now provide state-of-the-art teaching and researching laboratories. The University also spent $15 million to complete Morse Hall, a new science and engineering building as well as $8.2 million to modernize the Memorial Union Building. The revision to the existing student union building consisted of several upgrades including top kitchen and dining facilities, two theaters, student mailboxes, lounges and meeting rooms, as well as additional retail spaces such as the University Bookstore. Additionally, the Uni-versity completed construction of the new dining facility on Main Street, Holloway Commons, as well as the renovation of the Dimond Library. Combining the atmosphere of a small New England liberal arts college with the resources and opportunities of a major research university, the University of New Hampshire is a place where all students can find or create their own niche and succeed. While the University offers an extremely broad academic base with an inspiring faculty, it also provides students with thousands of opportunities to get involved, either through athletics, campus recreation, student life, or research. The University is a dynamic community that not only challenges its members academically but also expands their understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity and leads to incredible growth as students, faculty, staff, and as a community.

Mission Statement The mission of the intercollegiate athletics program at the University of New Hampshire is to provide student-athletes a collegiate experience that is enriched by their participation in programs which are competitive at the NCAA Division I level both regionally and nationally. The intercollegiate athletics program also plays an important role by enhancing the quality of life for the University and statewide community by being a source of pride and identification with the University while always maintaining high standards of academic scholarship and integrity. To fulfill its mission, the intercollegiate program must:1. Provide student-athletes every opportunity to meet academic and athletic demands with the goal of graduating every student-athlete.2. Provide resources necessary to field competitive teams with league affiliations, and to gain regional and national recognition.3. Provide equitable opportunities for all intercollegiate athletics by the active recruitment of minority athletes, and provide equitable opportunities for all women student-athletes commensurate with that of their male counterparts.4. Provide excellent facilities for all athletes to train, practice and play.5. Conduct all operations within state and federal law, University policies, rules of the NCAA, and athletics conferences in which the University competes.
