4 SIX NCAA APPEARANCES • THREE-TIME NE-10 CHAMPIONS

The Charger football program was reestablished in 2009 and the program’s winning tradition began right where it left off. The Chargers won three-straight Northeast-10 Conference Championships from 2010-12 and advanced to the NCAA tournament in both 2011 and 2012.

Afterafive-yearhiatus,the2009seasonmarkedthefootballprogram’s32ndseasonandwasthefirstyearsincetheconclusionofthe2003campaignthatUNHfieldedateam.Thereturnoffootballwasofgreatinterest and excitement to University of New Haven students, alumni, fans and friends of athletics. Charger football has a storied tradition of gridiron success, including six NCAA Division II playoff appearances. The program posts an all-time record of 214-148-5 in 36 seasons, including a 184-101-1 mark after moving to the Division II level in 1982.

When the Charger football team advanced to the NCAA Championship game in 1997, UNH was at that time the smallest school in NCAA history to play for a national title. UNH also advancedtotheNCAAsemifinalsin1992andthequarterfinalsin1993,1995and2011.

In addition to team success, many individuals in UNH Football history have earned national and regional accolades. UNH had 126 All-New England award winners in 19 seasons between 1983 and 2001, and 63 All-ECAC picks during the same time period. Perhaps the program’s most famous alum is running back Roger Graham, who won Division II’s most prestigious award - the Harlon Hill Trophy - after leading the NCAA in scoring and ranking second in rushing

in1993.UNHhashadaplayerfinishinthetopfourintheHarlonHillvotingonfiveoccasions.

UNHhasaproudtraditionofcoachesthathavegoneontofindgreatsuccess in the professional and college ranks as well. Tony Sparano, who led UNH to the 1997 national championship game and is second all-time in victories at UNH, is currently the assistant head coach and offensive line for the NFL’s Oakland Raiders. Chris Palmer (coach, 1986-87) has been an NFL head coach, NFL quarterback coach and most recently the offensive coordinator for the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. The program’s all-time wins leader, Mark Whipple (coach, 1988-93), piloted UMass to a Division I-AA national championship in 1998 and

won a Super Bowl as quarterbacks coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. After spending seven seasons in the NFL, Whipple returned to UMass for the 2014 season in hopes to return to Minutemen to the national spotlight.

In five short seasons back on the gridiron,the Chargers have made their presence known across the collegiate football world. New Haven was ranked as high as No. 3 in the AFCA Coaches Poll in 2012, after winning their third-straight conference championship and advancing to the NCAA Division II playoffs. Former head coach Peter Rossomando was named the 2012 Liberty Mutual Division II National Coach of the Year for his sportsmanship, integrity, responsibility and excellence on and off the field. Additionally, numerous student-athletes earned postseason accolades and four have been invited to NFL training camps.

90 SIX NCAA APPEARANCES • THREE-TIME NE-10 CHAMPIONS

In his second-year at the helm of the Chargers, head coach Chris Pincince looks to return New Haven to the NCAA post-season for the first time since 2012. Pincince will turn to the leadership of captains Drake Harris, DeeJay White, Tyler Condit and Jared Orazio as the Chargers battle a 10-game regular season schedule and the Northeast-10 Conference Championship weekend.

QUARTERBACKSDespite not having a quarterback that has seen action in a Blue and Gold uniform, the Chargers have three quality op-tions behind center in 2015. Junior transfer Shazzon Mum-phrey is possibly the most skilled on the ground among the three, but also has precision when taking to the air. Mum-phrey spent last fall at Florida A&M University where he did not see action. The year prior he was at Dakota College at Bottineau where he started 11 games and threw for more than 1,600 yards and six touchdowns.

Sophomore’s Ajee Patterson and Kellen Croce will also battle to run the offense. Patterson has been with the Chargers for two seasons under Joey Bradley and has seen a number of reps during the preseason. Patterson and Croce both have accuracy in the air, while Patterson adds another option on the ground. Croce, a left handed option, comes to New Ha-ven after spending last fall with the Maine Black Bears and this past spring as a reliever on the Chargers baseball team.

RUNNING BACKSOne of the most experienced position with the return of the top three running backs from 2014, with the trio combin-ing for more than 1,500 yards on the ground and 20 touch-downs. The leading returning comes in the fashion of junior Andre Anderson who rushed for more than 500 yards and 10 touchdowns. Anderson averaged 57.6 yards per game and on 83 attempts lost just nine yards all season.

Next in line for coach Pincince is Trevor Officer who returns to the Chargers sideline to complete his eligibility while begin-ning graduate school. Officer, a first team All-Northeast-10 selection, led New Haven in 2014 gaining 681 yards on the ground, averaging 68.1 per game and scoring four touch-downs. Rounding out the leading three is the reigning NE-10 Rookie of the Year and All-Rookie team selection Lemar Thomas. In his inaugural campaign last season, Thomas rushed for 334 yards six touchdowns, second most scores from the running back corps.

Rounding out the New Haven running back squad is junior Justen Wilson, who returns to the Blue and Gold for the first

time since 2012, sophomore Trevon Moe and a pair of true freshman Chris Liggio and Alex Maisonet.

WIDE RECEIVERSPerhaps the most experienced position with the return of the top eight targets from 2014 and all 20 touchdowns hauled out of the air, the Chargers will have plenty of options in their receiving corps. A Northeast-10 All-Conference Second Team selection, senior Ty Headen is the leading returner af-ter making 60 catches for 625 yards and tying junior Henry Adegunle with six touchdowns. Adegunle was second overall last season with 455 yards on 32 catches.

Senior Courtney Moshood and junior Rishawn Harris will also be common targets in the Chargers offense. Moshood pulled in the third most yards on the team with a total of 391 coming on 21 catches and converting one into six points. Included in Moshood’s 21 catches was the longest of the season for New Haven, a 65 yard grab against Merrimack. Harris was third overall on the receiving corps with three touchdowns while grabbing 32 catches for 357 yards.

Senior’s DeeJay White and Brandon Fowler are also among the leading returners, combining for more than 350 yards in 2014 with White also pulling in one of the 20 touchdowns. In addition to the return of juniors Logan Hill and Colin Hill and sophomore Isaiah Austin, a total of seven Chargers will be looking to pull in their first collegiate catches; Devin Mar-tin, Jawad Chisholm, Muna Anosike, Andrew Parent, Marcel-lus Morris, Kieran Ryan and Davelle Hooks.

TIGHT ENDSThe Chargers roster includes a total of four tight ends, how-ever just one returns after seeing action in 2014, junior Jon-athan Badyna. Seeing his first action last season, Badyna hauled in 11 catches for a total of 60 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns. Sophomore Austin Pagano joins a pair of true freshman, Jake Lareau and Kyle Stadford, Jr., all looking for their first collegiate action.

OFFENSIVE LINEThe Chargers offensive line returns three key pieces in 2015, led by senior Zach Voytek who was named Northeast-10 co-Offensive Lineman of the Year. Joining him in leading the way is junior Eliot Leubner who was named to the NE-10 Second Team All-Conference and Jared Orazio who returns to complete his eligibility while beginning graduate school.

Also returning to the line will be sophomore Elden Baker, juniors Daniel Pomposello, Stephen Rossi and Shane Fisher

and graduate student Logan Smith. Seven players will look to make their first appearance in a Charger uniform with ju-nior Avery Jackson joining true freshmen Dan Iannone, Me-lik Mavruk, Ricky Homan, Will Myhre, Gavin Down and Will Shill, all looking for their first collegiate action.

DEFENSIVE LINEDrake Harris, returning in 2015 as a graduate student, will be tagged with leading a defensive line that returns limited experience. Harris, who will finish out his eligibility in 2015, is the leading returner after making 40 total stops last sea-son. On the first line, Harris will be joined by senior Javon Rodd, junior Dave Calderon and a transfer from Iowa Dean Tsopanides.

Also making a return to the defensive line options is juniors Matt Rossi and Jalani Roman, while a trio of transfers will provide additional experience; Willie Maxen who comes to New Haven after finishing his undergraduate work at Cen-tral Connecticut State, Ari Nwobi from comes to UNH from Temple and Dan McCourt who comes from Dean College.

Additional depth on the line will come from senior Kevin Er-istil, sophomore Vince Parrotta and freshman Christian Sul-livan who all are looking for their first collegiate action.

LINEBACKERSThe linebacker corps boasts a surplus of experience with all three first team options starting every game they appeared in a year ago. Leading the trio will be senior Tyler Condit who led the Northeast-10 in tackles as a junior with 133 total stops. The All-Conference first team selection also collected First Team All-New England, and All-Super Region honors from Daktronics, Don Hansen and College Football USA.

Just to his side will be Matt Zakrzewski who returns for his second year at New Haven and final year of eligibility. Last season, Zakrzewski was named to the NE-10 All-Conference second team defense after finishing just behind Condit with 96 total tackles. Rounding out the first team options is senior Tarik Pusey who started nine games last season, amassing 31 tackles.

Looking to make his mark in the linebacker rotation will be another graduate student in transfer Devon Porchia who comes by way of the Pittsburgh Panthers. Rounding out the linebacker options is junior Greg Pease, sophomore CJ Fitz-patrick and rookie Kevin Robinson.

SECONDARYJacob Weaver, a graduate student, and sophomore Stefano Bicknese will anchor a defensive backfield that forced 16 fumbles and picked off 13 passes last season. Weaver re-turns after finishing last season third on the team with 73 tackles including 50 solo stops. Bicknese recorded 30 stops over 10 games in his first season with the Chargers.

Also providing assistance in the backfield will be sopho-mores Mark Clements and Matt Olivo. Clements finished his rookie campaign fifth on the team with 42 tackles, while Olivo added 12 tackles, an interception and a fumble recov-ery last year.

Among those who will also see time roaming the backfield will be graduate student Carlos Lozada, sophomore Nigel Davis and transfers Leo Lorenzo and DJ Doman. Lozada fin-ished last season with 22 tackles, 18 of which were solo stops, while Davis finished with 10 tackles and recovered a blocked punt for a touchdown. Doman comes to New Haven by way of Brigham Young University, while Lorenzo spent the last two years at Monroe College.

SPECIAL TEAMSSophomore transfer Danny Stock will be the first boot that Head Coach Chris Pincince turns to, while a quality second option comes from junior Brian Roberts. Stock comes to New Haven from Buffalo State College where he did not see action as a freshman in 2014. Roberts saw limited time with the Chargers last season, finishing 5-of-7 in field goal at-tempts with his longest from 37 yards.

Senior Brendon Fowler returns as the Chargers’ holder for field goal and extra point attempts, while redshirt freshman Tyler Hill will handle long-snapping duties.

On the return side, the Chargers will leave that responsibil-ity to junior Andre Anderson. Other options for New Haven come in the form of Trevor Officer, Ty Headen and Matt Olivo. Last season, Headen served as the primary return option, marching back nine punts for an average of five yards and 12 kickoffs for an average of 19.6 yards. Officer provided the longest run back of the season, a 55-yard return.

WEST HAVEN, Conn. – Before a crowd of 3,291 fans at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium, the University of New Haven football team was edged in its season opener, 35-30, by nationally-ranked (10/11) West Chester. Joey Bradley went 32-for-48 for 311 yards with one touchdown in addition to a rushing touchdown in his first career start for the Char-gers. The outing marked the first game at the helm for Head Coach Chris Pincince.

Bradley’s 32 completions and 48 passing attempts are the most by a New Haven quarter-back since Ryan Osiecki went 37-for-61 at Southern Connecticut State on Oct. 2, 2009. DeeJay White was the recipient of seven balls for 83 yards, while Henry Adegunle reeled in six passes for 54 yards and a score. Also on the outside, Ty Headen snagged five passes of 44 yards. Brandon Fowler added three receptions, and Isaiah Austin and Roshawn Wilson each caught two. Rounding out the action for the receiving corps was Courtney Moshood with a 16-yard catch. Out of the backfield, Andre Anderson (New Haven, Conn./James Hillhouse) and Trevor Officer (Monroe, N.Y./Monroe-Woodbury) had three grabs apiece for 34 and 30 yards, re-spectively. Officer was New Haven’s leading rusher with 42 yards and a touchdown, while Anderson picked up 32 yards and a score on the ground and Moshood scampered for 14 yards on an end around. Defensively, three players making their New Haven debuts led the way. Matt Zakrzewski made a team-best 10 tackles to go along with a fumble forced and recovered. Tarik Pusey also pounced on a pivotal fumble in the fourth quarter, and Matt Olivo reeled in an inter-ception. Tyler Condit added eight tackles from the linebacker position, and Dave Calderon picked up a sack. For West Chester, quarterback Sean McCartney went 17-for-31 for 262 yards with four touchdowns to four different receivers. The Golden Rams’ defense was led by D2Football.com Preseason All-America Al-Hajj Shabazz, who had an interception, recovered a blocked punt for a touchdown and later blocked a second punt.

WEST HAVEN, Conn. – The University of New Haven football team was on the short side of its third one-possession game to open 2014, dropping a 24-20 decision to visiting North-east-10 foe Assumption. Andre Anderson rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns, while Ty Headen had 10 catches for 114 yards and a receiving score in front of a standing room only crowd of 3,876 at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. With the loss, New Haven falls to 0-3 on the season with an 0-2 NE-10 mark. Assumption notches its first win of the year, improving to 1-2 with an 1-1 conference tally. Anderson’s 105 yards came on just 12 carries, fueled by a 47-yard scamper on a third-quarter drive to set up his second touchdown of the day. He added three catches for 10 yards out of the backfield. Fellow running back Trevor Officer chipped in with 35 rushing yards and four receptions for 20 yards. Quarterback Joey Bradley set new career marks for completions and attempts with a 35-for-49 day. The senior signal caller amassed 264 yards and a touchdown through the air to go along with an 11-yard scramble on his only rushing attempt. Bradley’s top target was Headen, whose 10 catches mark the most by a Charger since Sharieff Hall reeled in 12 passes from Ryan Osiecki at Assumption on Sept. 11, 2009. Headen’s 114 yards are a career high. DeeJay White had five receptions for 43 yards, and Brandon Fowler and Rishawn Harris each caught four passes for 32 and 31 yards, respectively. Rounding out the production for the receiving corps were Courtney Moshood with two receptions and one grab apiece from Henry Adegunle, Jonathan Badyna and Roshawn Wilson. Tyler Condit and Tarik Pusey led the defense with seven tackles apiece. In the secondary Herbens Antenor made six stops to go along with an interception and a pass broken up in the end zone on third down to force a Greyhounds’ field goal attempt. Matt Olivo also picked up a turnover, pouncing on a fumble at the one-yard line with Assumption poised to extend its lead to two possessions in the fourth quarter.

2013 First Team All-Northeast-10 punter Anthony Greenfield did his job of reversing field position for the Blue and Gold. Greenfield averaged 45.6 yards per punt of his five tries, including a career-best 66-yard boomer from his own end zone. The Assumption offense was led by its ground game, as Alex Shain, Matt Heriveaux and quarterback Trevor Vasey each ran for a touchdown. Vasey was 17-of-27 passing for 303 yards and an interception. Dave Call and Eddy Frazier each turned in 100-yard receiving performances.

EASTON, Mass. - For the second time in as many weeks, the University of New Haven football team came from behind and earned a victory on the final offensive play of the game in a 23-17 triumph over Stonehill at a rain-soaked W.B. Mason Stadium. After the Chargers’ defense held the Skyhawks scoreless in their first offensive possession of over-time, Lemar Thomas capped a three-play overtime drive with a 1-yard touchdown plunge for the victory.

With the win, the Chargers improve to 2-3 overall and 2-2 in the Northeast-10 Conference. The Skyhawks fall to 2-3 overall and 2-2 in conference action.

As a team, New Haven ran for 104 yards on 33 carries and threw for 205 yards on 33 pass attempts. The UNH defense held Stonehill to 345 yards on 70 plays, while more importantly forcing four fourth quarter turnovers by the Skyhawks.

Joey Bradley paced the UNH offense with 205 passing yards on 19-of-33 with a touch-down. Ty Headen was his favorite target with 11 catches for 116 yards and a score. Thomas and Andre Anderson led the UNH rushing attack combining for 104 yards on 31 carries.

Defensively, the Chargers held the Skyhawks to seven, second-half points with Tyler Condit leading the way with 12 total tackles and an interception. Jacob Weaver added 10 stops, while two additional Chargers recorded interceptions. Herbens Antenor and Matt Zakrze-wski each ended Stonehill drives in the fourth quarter with picks.

The victory marked the first overtime game for UNH since the 2011 opener and the first time since 1998 that the Chargers have played five consecutive one-possession games.

WEST HAVEN, Conn. – For the fifth consecutive season, the University of New Haven football team has claimed ownership of the Elm City Trophy. The Chargers upended cross-town and Northeast-10 rival Southern Connecticut State, 27-14, at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. With the victory, New Haven improves to 3-3 on the season and 3-2 in the Northeast-10 Conference. The Owls drop to 1-5 this fall with a 1-4 NE-10 mark. The Chargers now own an 18-6-1 lead in the all-time series with Southern Connecticut State, which dates back to New Haven’s entry into the NCAA Division II ranks in 1981. Quarterback Joey Bradley was 22-of-38 for 256 yards and three touchdowns. His primary target was Ty Headen, who made 11 grabs for 128 yards and a score. Courtney Moshood and Jonathan Badyna also reeled in touchdown receptions, and Henry Adegunle had four catches for 29 yards. Rounding out the air attack was Trevor Officer with two receptions, and Collin Hill and Rishawn Harris with one catch apiece. On the ground, Officer had 23 carries for 118 yards and a 20-yard touchdown run. Defensively, linebackers Tyler Condit and Matt Zakrzewski had 12 tackles apiece, and Jacob Weaver added eight stops. The Chargers forced three turnovers on the day, as Rodney Lanham came away with his second interception of the fall, and Mark Clements and Isaac Coates each pounced on a fumble. Up front, Matthew Rossi had the only sack of the afternoon. The Chargers’ defense stopped Southern Connecticut State on all three of its fourth-down attempts and limited the Owls to a 4-for-12 day on third down. Anthony Greenfield did his part in the field position game. The First Team All-Northeast-10 punter boomed seven punts with an average of 43.9 yards per kick, including two that pinned the Owls inside their own 20-yard line and three longer than 50 yards.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Trailing by seven in the final five minutes, the University of New Haven football team scored back-to-back touchdowns in the final two minutes for a thrill-ing 31-24 victory at American International Saturday afternoon on homecoming day in Springfield. Henry Adegunle scored the game-winner on a 40-yard touchdown pass from Joey Bradley with 54 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.

Winners of four straight, the Chargers improve to 4-3 overall and 4-2 in the Northeast-10 Conference. Previously unbeaten in Division II this season, the Yellow Jackets drop to 5-2 overall and 5-1 in conference play.

On the first drive of the fourth, AIC took nearly half of the quarter to go 60 yards on 16 plays and take a 24-17 lead with a 26-yard field goal. UNH answered with its own long drive, a 13-play, 78-yard series which was capped by a 5-yard touchdown catch from Bradley to Ty Headen with 1:50 left to play. After a short kickoff return, the Yellow Jackets took began their possession at their own 29-yard line. On the first play of the drive, wide receiver Stephen Davis found space and the last defender in his way was Herbens Antenor who forced a fumble and recovered in AIC territory. With 1:40 on the clock, the Chargers needed just three plays before Adegunle broke free down the middle of the field for the go-ahead score.

New Haven, who controlled the ball for over 36 minutes in the game, managed 30 first downs on 76 offensive plays. UNH ran for 214 yards on 44 carries, while the Yellow Jack-ets were held to 128 yards on 29 carries.

With a career-high 136 rushing yards, Trevor Officer averaged 5.7 yards on 24 carries. Andre Anderson added 59 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 13 carries, while Bradley chipped in with 13 yards on four keepers. Through the air, Bradley finished the day with 257 yards and two touchdowns on 23-of-32 passing. His top target was once again Ty Headen with five catches for 38 yards and a touchdown. Courtney Moshood recorded four catches for 36 yards and Adegunle brought in two for 74 yards and the game-winning score.

Defensively, the Chargers surrendered just 336 total yards and forced four fumbles, three of which were recovered by UNH. Herbens Antenor forced and recovered the Yellow Jackets final fumble which set up the go-ahead drive in the final minute. Matt Zakrzewski led the defense with 10 total tackles, including eight solo stops. Jacob Weaver and Tyler Condit each added seven stops.

WEST HAVEN, Conn. – The University of New Haven football team scored touchdowns on its first four drives and never looked back en route to a 42-14 win over visiting Merrimack. The Chargers picked up their fifth consecutive victory before a Homecoming crowd of 4,358 at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. With the Northeast-10 triumph, New Haven improves to 5-3 overall and 5-2 in conference play. The Warriors drop to 3-5 on the season with a 3-4 NE-10 mark. Quarterback Joey Bradley led the Chargers’ offensively with 268 yards passing and two touchdowns as a part of an 18-for-22 performance. He also scrambled for a 21-yard score to highlight his three carries for 42 yards. Bradley spread the ball around to six different receivers, including four receptions apiece for Henry Adegunle, Ty Headen and Rishawn Harris. Adegunle and Headen both reeled in touchdowns for the Chargers. Courtney Moshood grabbed three balls for 89 yards, Brandon Fowler had two catches for 12 yards and Andre Anderson caught one pass for three yards. Anderson led the effort on the ground with a game-best 92 rushing yards. The vast major-ity came on an 88-yard touchdown rumble to the house in the first quarter. Lemar Thomas and Trevor Officer each added a rushing score for the Blue and Gold. The Chargers’ defensive unit posted its most dominant effort of the season against the traditionally high-powered Merrimack offense. New Haven racked up a season-high nine sacks – the most for the Chargers since picking up nine sacks in a 53-10 win over Millersville on Sept. 20, 1997 en route to an appearance in the NCAA Division II National Championship Game. Leading the defensive effort was Tyler Condit, who made a career-best 16 tackles. His tackling output was the most by a Charger since Steve Cedor racked up 19 stops at Youngstown State on Oct. 24, 1998. Condit made 1.5 tackles-for-loss, including a half-sack. Michael Intrieri had a career-best three sacks in the outing, with Drake Harris posting 2.5 sacks. Matt Zakrzewski had 12 total tackles, including a sack, and Matthew Rossi and Chad Woodfine each picked up a sack. In the secondary, Mark Clements made eight tackles with a pass breakup, and Herbens Antenor had six stops. Collectively, the New Haven defense limited Merrimack to just 33 rushing yards. Warriors’ freshman quarterback Joe Capobianco led his club with a 35-for-44 passing day totaling 270 yards and a touchdown. Punter Anthony Greenfield did his job in reversing the field position with an average of 43.3 yards per punt. He boomed three punts on the day, all clearing 40 yards with Mer-rimack gaining zero punt return yards on two attempts (and one fair catch). Carlos Lozada (New London, Conn./New London) raced down field and made the stop on both punt returns to keep the Warriors’ returners at bay.

WEST HAVEN, Conn. - A 48-yard pitch-and-catch from Yianni Gavalas to Brandon Gomes on the final play of the afternoon propelled visiting Saint Anselm to a 37-34 decision over the University of New Haven football team at Ralph F.

Saint Anselm improves to 6-4 overall and 5-4 in NE-10 play and will host Stonehill next weekend. The Hawks’ last-second score came following a five-play, 66-yard march for the Chargers, capped by a four-yard Bradley touchdown pass to Lemar Thomas on fourth down to stake New Haven to a 34-31 lead with 20 seconds remaining. The Saint Anselm drive began in New Haven territory at the 48-yard line with 13 seconds to go. Herbens Antenor broke up the visitors’ first Hail Mary attempt, but Gavalas then connected with Gomes, who scampered down the sideline into the end zone as time expired.

On the ground, Andre Anderson had a game-best 78 yards on nine carries highlighted by a 48-yard scamper to set up a New Haven fourth-quarter touchdown. Trevor Officer added 58 yards, and Thomas had 42 rushing yards and a touchdown. Linebackers Tyler Condit and Matt Zakrzewski led the Chargers’ defense, which forced five turnovers on the afternoon. Condit had a game-high 16 tackles, while Zakrzewski made 15 stops with one forced fumble and three fumble recoveries. In the secondary, Kendall Marks and Mark Clements each had an interception. Stefano Bicknese forced two fumbles and Antenor forced one in addition to making 10 tackles. Mike Intrieri led the battle in the trenches as New Haven amassed four sacks. Intrieri had 1.5 sacks, Matthew Rossi had one, and Dave Calderon, Drake Harris and Isaac Coates each picked up a half-sack. Gavalas finished the day with 439 yards on 42-of-56 passing with three touchdowns and an interception. The Hawks had three receivers with more than 100 yards – Gomes (125), Justin Bernard (151) and Ahkeen Williams (102). All three wideouts reeled in a touchdown as well.

1995November 18, 1995 - New Haven 27, Edinboro 12 Edinboro scored on its first possession of the game, taking a 6-0 lead on a one-yard dive by Gerald Thompson. New Haven cut the lead in half on Gene Adair’s 37-yard field goal near the end of the first quarter. Edinboro doubled its scoring total when Keith Cushenberry grabbed the ball away from receiver Bobby Barnette and raced 31 yards for a touchdown with 2:34 left in the half, giving the Scots a 12-3 lead at halftime. New Haven answered with a 47-yard FG on its first possession of the second half. With under a minute left in the third quarter, Ron Jenkins dashed seven yards for a touchdown giving the Chargers the lead 13-12.

Jenkins finished with 150 yards on 30 carries with two TDs while Jesse Showerda completed 19 of 32 passes for 229 yards.

November 25, 1995 - Ferris State 17, New Haven 9 The only stats that would indicate that New Haven lost this game would be the five turnovers, three fumbles and two inter-ceptions. All the other statistics favored New Haven including time of possession (36:02), total yards (420 yards) and total plays (90). However, the most important stat favored the home team, a 17-9 final score. Ferris State opened the scoring with a 22-yard field goal by Jason Lipke. The Bulldogs boosted their lead on Chris Pulliams three-yard run, only the fourth rushing touchdown surrendered by the UNH defense in 12 games.

Gene Adair brought the team to within one score with a 25-yard field goal, making the score 17-9. New Haven had the ball inside the Ferris 20-yard line in the final 2:00 but failed on a fourth-down attempt, securing the win for Ferris State.

1997November 22, 1997 - New Haven 47, Glenville State 7 The Chargers dominated play in their first playoff appearance since 1995. New Haven led 27-0 at the half on touchdown recep-tions from Adam Roman and Ketric Barnes and a pair of touch-down runs from quarterback Cazzie Kosciolek. The lead went to 34-0 after Bill Woods caught a 29-yard touchdown pass from Kosciolek off a fake field goal. Glenville State finally got on the board at 34-7 after a 68-yard touchdown pass to running back Byron Stevenson. Glenville State quarterback Wilkie Perez entered the game as the leading passer in Division II. The Chargers limited Perez to one touch-down, while intercepting two passes. Don Highsmith ran for a career-high 212 yards on 32 carries as the Chargers racked up 271 yards rushing. UNH’s defense recovered two fumbles and intercepted two passes.

2011November 26, 2011 - New Haven 44, Kutztown 37 The Chargers made their first postseason appearance in the “new era” of Charger football. The team earned the second seed in the region, a first round bye and for the first time in Charger football history, hosted a home game on the University’s own campus. The storylines were numerous and in front of a standing-room only crowd, the Chargers fell behind 20-21 with just 17-seconds left in the first half. The Chargers, however, did not give up and a last-second hail mary pass from 44-yards out connected Ryan Osiecki and Jason Thompson for the Chargers go-ahead score. The Chargers 26-21 halftime lead was wiped out in the third quarter as Kutztown scored a touchdown to regain the lead, 28-26. Kutztown split the uprights in the first minutes of the fourth quarter to improve its lead to 31-26, but the Chargers then began to rally. Back-to-back touchdown passes by Osiecki, includ-ing a 64-yard connection with Thompson, put the Chargers back in the lead, 41-31, with seven minutes left. The Chargers added a field goal and Kutztown scored on the final play of the game to bring the Chargers a seven-point victory. Osiecki was the player of the game with five touchdown passes, 433 passing yards and no interceptions. His favorite target, Thompson, grabbed a remarkable six catches for 214 yards and four touchdowns. As a team, UNH amassed 538 total yards on just 58 offensive plays. Defensively, the Chargers picked off three passes and kept the Golden Bears under pressure with three sacks and five total tackles-for-loss.

December 3, 2011 - Winston-Salem 27, New Haven 7 The quarterfinal round matched the fifth-ranked Chargers against the third-ranked Rams of Winston-Salem State. The 7-27 loss was New Haven’s only loss to a Division II opponent all sea-son. The Rams opened scoring with a 48-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, but missed the point-after attempt. Ryan Osiecki and Demetrius Washington-Ellison then connected on a 36-yard touchdown strike later in the first quarter and the extra point gave the Chargers a 7-6 lead. UNH held the lead until the 14:49 mark of the second quarter when Winston-Salem punched in another score to take a 13-7 lead, a lead they held at halftime. Both teams were held scoreless in the third quarter, while the Rams opened the first minutes of the fourth with another touch-down pass. After intercepting the Rams, New Haven marched all the way down to the Rams’ five-yard line, but an errant pass was picked off by WSSU and the Chargers’ hopes at a comeback fell short. The Rams added another score in the final minutes and sealed a 20-point victory. The Chargers amassed 330 total yards, while the Rams racked up 444 yards, including 170 on the ground.

2012November 24, 2012 - Indiana (Pa.) 17, New Haven 14 A drive that started at the six-yard line came within inches of resulting in the game-winning score, but the No. 3/4 University of New Haven football team ultimately fell, 17-14, to No. 11/12 Indi-ana (Pa.) in an NCAA Division II Football Championship Second Round game on at Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. The Chargers’ Northeast-10 Championship season ended with a 10-1 overall record. Ryan Osiecki and Jason Thompson connected on both Charger touchdowns.

Anthony MortaliLinebacker (1973-1976)

Inducted 1987Tony Mortali was the type of player that every coach would want on his squad. He was hard working willing and able to give the team his all. An intregal part of the football team’s first ever varsity win, 13-7 in 1975 vs. Curry College, the linebacker/offensive guard was one of the unsung heroes of the sports first few years of varsity status. His efforts on the gridiron were rewarded though, as he captained the team for two seasons, including the year the UNH team notched its first victory. That same season, Tony was named All New England Football Conference team.

Miles McPhersonDefensive Back (1978-81)

Inducted 1989One of the finest defensive backs to play at New Haven, Miles McPherson recorded impressive numbers during his four year career. At one time he held 15 school records and still holds all the interception records - in a game (4), in a season (7), which he accomplished twice, and in a career (22). He was named to the All New England Con-ference First Team, New England Football Writers’ Association Division II-III team, Boston Herald III team. McPherson became the first Charger to be drafted into the National Football League. He was taken as a 10th round pick by the Los Angeles Rams. He signed with the San Diego Chargers where he played from 1982 to 1985.

Rick RacioppiLinebacker (1981-84)

Inducted 1992Rick Racioppi is considered to be one of the finest linebackers to wear a Charger uniform. The linebacker averaged 12.3 tackles per game during his sophomore season and 9.5 tackles per contest over his career. He surpassed 100 tackles in three different seasons, highlighted by a career-high 123 stops in 1982. Racioppi never missed a game during his four-year stay, playing in all 40 UNH contests. When he gradu-ated, Racioppi held the single season and career records for both recovered fumbles and total tackles. He was named to the All-New England team in 1983, one of only three Chargers to earn those honors that season. He ended his career with 379 total tackles, including 210 solo stops, and four sacks.

Erik LesinskiLinebacker (1984-87)

Inducted 1992Erik Lesinski can be rated as one of the best all-around players in New Haven football history. His career totals are among the best in school history, including 422 total tackles, 242 solo tackles and seven sacks. He was named to the

Kaplan, Ph.D. has led the University of New Haven through a period of remarkable growth and development. In the past seven years alone, enrollment has grown by 42 percent to more than 6,400 undergraduate and graduate students, who

hail from 35 states and some 45 countries. Full-time undergraduate enrollment has grown by 86 percent and applications have increased by 176 percent. During this time, the University has completed over $110 million in construction projects and has launched 17 new academic programs.

UNH now ranks among the top comprehensive universities in the North and boasts nationally ranked programs in a number of majors across business, criminal justice, engineering, forensic science, and the liberal arts and sciences. In recognition of his contributions to transforming the University, Dr. Kaplan was named “Businessman of the Year” by Business New Haven magazine in 2008.

President Kaplan also was awarded the 2011 William M. Burke Presidential Award for Experiential Education by the National Society for Experiential Education.

Previously, Dr. Kaplan was chancellor and professor of English at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise, the only four-year branch campus of the University of Virginia and one of the nation’s best public colleges, according to U. S. News & World Report.

Dr. Kaplan began his teaching career in 1982 as an Instructor of English at the University of Maryland, European Division. From 1985-1989, he served as Visiting Lecturer in American Studies at Eberhard-Karls Universität, Tübingen, Germany – one of the oldest and most highly regarded universities in Europe. After completing his doctoral studies at Eberhard-Karls Universität, he returned to the U.S. to teach English at the University of Southern Colorado. Within three years, he was made department chair, serving in that capacity for two years before becoming Director of the Center for International Studies.

He also has written a number of scholarly essays.

Dr. Kaplan and his wife, Anemone Schweizer-Kaplan, are both ardent opera buffs and love to ballroom dance, hike and downhill ski. They share a great love for the visual and performing arts and have traveled to more than 30 countries during their 35 years together, including Tanzania, where they hiked up Mt. Kilimanjaro. They have a son and three daughters.

Dr. Kaplan grew up in Chicago, the son of a shoe store owner and an actress-comedienne. He said his stepfather, Irving Glovin, taught him to love ideas and appreciate the contributions we all need to make to good causes. Irv Glovin was a good friend of Oskar Schindler, was instrumental in getting the story out in book and film form (he was associate producer of the film), and is President of the Oskar Schindler Humanitarian Foundation. Dr. Kaplan also serves on the board of the Foundation.

Anemone Schweizer-Kaplan grew up in Southwest Germany. She holds the equivalent of an American M.A. in Secondary Education and taught at a German high school. She is a ceramics artist and taught German and pottery as an adjunct faculty member in Colorado and Virginia.

Deborah Chin became the University of New Haven’s fourth Director of Athletics in 1993, and currently oversees a department which sponsors 16 NCAA Division II varsity sports. She was elected to the prestigious position of Chair of the NCAA’s Division II Management Council for 2008 and currently serves as Chair of the NCAA Division II Membership

Committee. She was promoted to Associate Vice President, Director of Athletics and Recreation in 2010. UNH Athletics has enjoyed a high level of success across the board during Chin’s tenure as Director of Athletics, advancing to NCAA tournament over 75 times in 20-plus years. UNH has recently made a number of capital improvements to athletic and recreational facilities, including the construction of the multi-million dollar David A. Beckerman Student Recreation Center, a $1.3 million synthetic turf renovation of Kayo Field (soccer and lacrosse), as well as installation of state-of-the-art blue and gold synthetic turf at the new Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. During the previous two years, the Chargers have seen great accomplishments on the playing field and in the classroom. In each of the previous two athletic seasons, at least 14-of-16 teams advanced to the postseason and the New Haven student-athletes have boasted over a 3.10 cumulative grade point average. In 2007, Chin spearheaded efforts to re-instate football as a varsity program and find UNH a new athletics conference that best fits the institution’s long-term academic and athletic

aspirations. Both goals were accomplished when UNH announced on November 13, 2007 that it had been accepted as a full member of the prestigious Northeast-10 Conference, effective the 2008-09 academic year. After a five-year hiatus, the Charger football team returned to the gridiron in 2009, and have since won three conference championships and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals. A member of the University of New Haven staff since 1975, Chin began her UNH career as Coordinator of Women’s Athletics. She was responsible for starting the women’s intercollegiate athletic program at UNH, coaching volleyball, tennis, basketball and softball in the early years. Chin eventually surrendered all head coaching responsibilities, except volleyball, when she was promoted to Associate Director of Athletics in 1979.

142 SIX NCAA APPEARANCES • THREE-TIME NE-10 CHAMPIONS

Page 143: 2015 New Haven Football Media Guide

The Northeast-10 Conference is an NCAA Division II conference that was established in 1979. The conference consists of 15 member institutions located throughout the Northeast in the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont. With the addition of women’s golf in 2014-15, the NE-10 now sponsors a total of 24 sports.

The institutions that make up the Northeast-10 are Adelphi University (Garden City, N.Y.), American International College (Springfield, Mass.), Assumption College (Worcester, Mass.), Bentley University (Waltham, Mass.), Franklin Pierce University (Rindge, N.H.), Le Moyne College (Syracuse, N.Y.), Merrimack College (North Andover, Mass.), University of New Haven (West Haven, Conn.), Pace University (Pleasantville, N.Y.), Saint Anselm College (Manchester, N.H.), Saint Michael’s College (Colchester, Vt.), The College of Saint Rose (Albany, N.Y.), Southern Connecticut State University (New Haven, Conn.), Southern New Hampshire University (Manchester, N.H.), and Stonehill College (Easton, Mass.).

The conference’s 15 member institutions are spread geographically from Syracuse, N.Y. to Waltham, Mass. and from Colchester, Vt. to Garden City, N.Y. Many of the members are located in or around the metropolitan areas of Albany, Boston, Manchester, New Haven, Worcester and New York City. The Northeast-10 was proud to welcome the New Haven and Adelphi in the conference’s latest expansion, adding to the powerful union of strong academic and athletic institutions. In addition, LIU Post (Brookville, N.Y.) is an associate member of the NE-10 in the sports of field hockey and football.

The Northeast-10 has evolved into a membership committed to competitive athletics programs that emphasize the education, both on and off the field, of more than 6,000 student-athletes. Among the many accomplishments of these institutions are NCAA Division II national championships in women’s basketball, women’s cross country, field hockey, men’s lacrosse, women’s lacrosse, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s track and field, and men’s and women’s swimming and diving.

The conference is coming off yet another banner season in 2014-15. The Adelphi women’s lacrosse team repeated as national champions by defeating Lock Haven, 5-4, in the title game. Also, Southern Connecticut’s Chrystle Hill, Georgette Nixon, Sarah Hill and Shatajah Wattely claimed the national title in the 4x400 relay at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships.

When it came to NCAA postseason selections, the NE-10 once again had another sensational year with 48 teams chosen to participate in national tournaments during the year. On top of that, representatives from 34 different swimming and diving, cross country and track & field teams competed for national titles. Of those 48 teams, 13 different Northeast-10 institutions were represented, while nine teams from the conference advanced to at least the national quarterfinal round in national tournament play – a new NE-10 record.

From the field of play to inside the classroom, the Northeast-10 honored a number of student-athletes for their academic accomplishments. A record-breaking 73 percent of the league’s 287 athletic teams garnered a team grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Overall, nearly 59 percent of all conference student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA throughout the 2014-15 academic year and were named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll (CHR) as a result. An astonishing 164 student-athletes earned a perfect 4.0 GPA in the fall before 205 more did so in the spring. The Northeast-10 also honored 247 student-athletes as members of its academic all-conference teams.

The Northeast-10 also remains focused on its community endeavors. The conference has built a strong partnership with Team IMPACT, a non-profit organization that matches children with life-threatening illnesses with college sports teams. In 2015, the NE-10 became the first ‘fully-matched’ conference in Division II, as at least one team from each member institution has matched with a Team IMPACT child. More than 60 NE-10 teams currently have matches through Team IMPACT. The conference’s fundraising efforts for Make-A-Wish are also more than any other Division II conference in the country over the past decade.

Through the establishment and enforcement of regulations, the conference aims to encourage policies that enable intercollegiate athletics programs to contribute to and be considered an integral part of the total educational offerings at our member institutions. The Northeast-10 can look to a long history of success including the growth from seven original member institutions to more than double its size 35 years later, the contention for and winning of multiple national championships, and the recognition of student-athlete performances off the field and in the classroom.

UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAVEN DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICSDEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the department of intercollegiate athletics is to support the mission of the university and to integrate intercollegiate athletics into higher education so that the educational experience of the student-athlete is paramount. The department will provide growth opportunities to achieve in a nationally competitive intercollegiate program that attracts, nurtures and graduates student-athletes who under the guidance of a quality staff, represent the University of New Haven with character and integrity while achieving academic excellence, serving the community and pursuing excellence in their respective sports.

DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS PHILOSOPHYHigher education has lasting importance on an individual’s future success. For this reason, the emphasis for the student-athlete experience at the University of New Haven is a comprehensive program of learning and development in a personal setting. As an NCAA Division II program, our approach provides growth opportunities through academic achievement, learning in high-level athletic competition and development of positive societal attitudes in service to community. The balance and integration of these different areas of learning opportunity provide our student-athletes a path to graduation while cultivating a variety of skills and knowledge for life ahead.

The University of New Haven seeks to provide the world with leaders who can make a positive difference in a global society. Student-athletes are afforded unique opportunities for leadership because of the visibility provided through athletics competition. UNH’s intercollegiate program provides opportunities for its student-athletes to develop moral virtues, such as courage, self-confidence, and integrity and to learn communication and teamwork skills associated with outstanding leadership. Thus the Department of Athletics helps the University satisfy its primary aspiration, which is to prepare students to lead purposeful and fulfilling lives in a global society through experiential, collaborative, and discovery-based learning.

The Department of Athletics is committed to delivering intercollegiate athletics programs that are consistent with the University’s mission and generates the trust and support of its various constituencies. The goal of the department is to field sports teams that compete successfully against other NCAA Division II teams while upholding the academic standards of the University of New Haven. The department is also committed to conducting its programs in strict adherence to the policies, rules and regulations set by the University’s administration, Board of Governors, the NCAA and the Northeast-10 Conference.

Through its programs, the department gives its student-athletes of different genders, races, religions, national origins and sexual orientation opportunities to participate in intercollegiate competition. The intercollegiate program will function free of discrimination with a University commitment to the adherence to Title IX and the Office of Civil Rights guidelines. A major goal of the Department of Athletics is to help student-athletes realize the full potential of their athletic abilities while also increasing their intellectual capabilities and providing them a meaningful opportunity to earn a baccalaureate degree. The department will not compromise its commitment to educate and graduate its student-athletes.

Department of Athletics personnel are expected to represent the University in a manner consistent with UNH’s principles and values. All personnel are expected to perform their responsibilities with the highest standards of integrity, ethical behavior and sportsmanship at all times. Coaches and staff are expected to treat student-athletes fairly and with respect and to facilitate leadership that helps them mature physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially.
