Each of the nine institutions - University at Albany, Binghamton University, Boston University, University of Hartford, University of Maine, University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), University of New Hampshire, Stony Brook University, and University of Vermont - offers a unique blend of academic and athletic tradition. Progressive in its approach to its more than 3,200 student-athletes, America East recognizes champions in each of its 21 sports: men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, women’s golf, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball. America East also conducts the nation’s most comprehensive academic recognition program for student-athletes. With a geographic footprint covering the MidAtlantic to Northeast regions of the United States, America East has a population base of more than 50 million people and nearly 30 million television homes. America East member institutions include more than 106,000 students on the nine campuses and boast nearly one million living alumni. Athletic Success America East enters its 21st year of all-sports championship competition on the heels of one of the most successful seasons in history, as five of its 10 team sport champions won at least one game in the NCAA Championship and two other teams received at-large tournament bids. In addition, one student-athlete won a national championship and 64 • 2008-09 Hartford Basketball 20 others garnered All-America recognition. America East sent multiple teams to the NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Championship for the first time since 2000 as league champion Boston University and runner-up New Hampshire each received bids. The Terriers, who finished the season ranked sixth in the IWLCA Poll, advanced to the quarterfinal round before falling to national runner-up Penn. Boston University’s Sarah Dalton received first-team IWLCA All-America accolades, while teammate Lauren Morton took home second-team honors and New Hampshire’s Michaela Hardy garnered third-team recognition. Hartford defeated Syracuse in the first round of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship. It marked the second time in three years the Hawks had won a game in the NCAA Tournament. Vermont earned a bid to the WNIT and defeated Dartmouth, 69-50, in a first-round game at Patrick Gymnasium. America East is only one of four Non-Football Bowl Subdivision Conferences to have received multiple postseason bids in each of the past four years. Hartford’s Danielle Hood was selected in the third round (32nd overall) by the Atlanta Dream of the WNBA, becoming just the second America East player to be drafted. Vermont and Boston University each earned berths in the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship. It marked the first time since 1996 that America East received multiple bids. Vermont downed Dartmouth in the first round to give America East at least one win in the NCAAs in six of the last seven years. America East finished the season ninth out of 22 Division I conferences in the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) and was one of just two leagues to have five teams in the Top 55 of 202 schools (38. Boston University, 40. Vermont, 48. Hartford, 53. New Hampshire, 54. Binghamton). UMBC won its first-ever America East Men’s Basketball Championship and recorded a programbest 24 victories. Vermont’s Marqus Blakely became the first player to win both Defensive Player of the Year and Player of the Year honors in the same America East season. He also garnered All-America honors from the Associated Press. UMBC overcame a nine-goal deficit to upend Albany, 14-13, in the finals of the America East Men’s Lacrosse Championship. The Retrievers, who won a school-record 12 games, were edged by national semifinalist Virginia, 10-9, in the first round of the NCAA Championship. UMBC finished the season ranked No. 6 in the USILA poll. Albany and Stony Brook were also ranked at one point during the season. Five America East standouts were chosen All-Americans by the USILA with UMBC’s Terry Kimener receiving second-team recognition. Boston University defeated New Hampshire, 2-1, to claim its second America East Women’s Soccer title in three years and its third straight NCAA berth. It was just the second time the top-seeded team did not win the tournament and the first time a team has won the title on the road since 1996. Boston University advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Field Hockey Championship with a 1-0 win over Iowa in the first round. The Terrier’s Pam Spuehler was one of four finalists for the Honda Broderick Award, given to the nation’s top player. She was joined by four others as NFHCA AllAmerica selections. Albany defeated Cleveland State, 3-0, in the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship to become the first America East team to win a match in the tournament. Stony Brook’s Jackie Ahlers, a unanimous choice as America East Player of the Year, earned AVCA All-America accolades. Academic Success America East institutions boasted a pair of Academic All-Americans in 2007-08 while another 19 were tabbed All-District selections. A total of 18 America East teams received Public Recognition Awards by the NCAA under the Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR). The APR provides a real-time snapshot of a team’s academic success and the academic progress of studentathletes. America East honored a top-scholar athlete in each of its championship sports: Alex Felce (Stony Brook men’s cross country), Cathy Parker (New Hampshire women’s cross country), Sarah Hudak (Boston U. field hockey), Connor Tobin (Vermont men’s soccer), Elizabeth Cook (Hartford women’s soccer), Jacqueline Kane (Binghamton volleyball), Brian Lillis (Albany men’s basketball), May Kotsopoulos (Vermont women’s basketball), Rory Quiller (Binghamton men’s indoor track & field), Carmen Lagala (Vermont women’s indoor and outdoor track & field), Brenno Varanda (Binghamton men’s swimming & diving), Tina Cantwell (UMBC women’s swimming & diving), Michael Stephan (Stony Brook baseball), Juliana Carrillo (Hartford women’s golf), Steve Ammann (Albany men’s lacrosse), Michaela Hardy (New Hampshire women’s lacrosse), Ashley Waters (Maine softball), Ilan Shvartz (Stony Brook men’s tennis), Cornelia Carapcea (UMBC women’s tennis) and Jordan Horwitz (New Hampshire men’s outdoor track & field). More than 2,250 of America East’s 3,200 student-athletes were named to the Academic Honor Roll after receiving grade-point averages of 3.0 or better. Included in that total were 1,015 student-athletes who earned a 3.5 or better and were named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Vermont was awarded the America East Academic Cup for the fourth-straight year as its student-athletes compiled a 3.14 grade-point average, which tied for the best mark in the award’s 13-year history. Overall, America East student-athletes compiled a 3.02 GPA during the 2007-08 academic year. Commissioner’s CUP Boston University took home the Stuart P. Haskell, Jr. Commissioner’s Cup for the third straight year and sixth time in the last seven years. The conference award annually recognizes the highest scoring athletic program in America East as determined by a points system, which rewards a school for success both during the regular season and at championship competition in the league’s sports. Boston U., which won six league titles, three regular-season crowns and had four runner-up finishes, tallied 378 points, the most in three years under the current nine-member configuration. America East in the Pros Several America East athletes have extended their playing careers beyond the collegiate level. Former two-time America East Players of the Year Craig Claxton, of the Atlanta Hawks, Malik Rose, of the New York Knicks and three-time all-conference selection, Jose Juan Barea, of the Dallas Mavericks, continue to make their impact in the NBA today. Former Hartford star Vin Baker and three-time America East Player of the Year Reggie Lewis, who captained the Boston Celtics at the time of his premature death, made five combined All-Star appearances during their careers. America East has also been well-represented in the WNBA as current Hartford head coach Jennifer Rizzotti and former America East Players of the Year Cindy Blodgett (Maine), Jamie Cassidy (Maine) and Katasha Artis have played in the top women’s professional league. In 2008, Danielle Hood (Hartford) became the second player to be selected in the WNBA Draft, as she was taken in the third round (32nd overall) by the Atlanta Dream. Former Hartford baseball star Jeff Bagwell, the 2004 National League Most Valuable Player, hit 449 career home runs in 15 seasons for the Houston Astros. Joe Nathan, who played at Stony Brook, has been selected to three All-Star games in five seasons as the closer for the Minnesota Twins. Carlos Pena slugged 46 home runs and drove in 121 runs to earn Comeback Player of the Year honors with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2007. Former America East Players of the Year Mark Sweeney (Maine) of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Kevin Mench of the Toronto Blue Jays are also on 2008 Major League rosters. Hartford’s Jerry Kelly, who has two career PGA Tour victories and 66 Top 10 finishes, joined the tour in 1996 after turning professional in 1989. Kelly, who has earned over $17 million during his career, is joined by former Hawks golfers Tim Petrovic and Patrick Sheehan on the PGA Tour. History To see how far America East has progressed, consider the conference was established in 1979 as the ECAC North. The conference at that time consisted of 10 institutions and sponsored league competition only in men’s basketball, with the champion receiving an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship. Men’s basketball remained the lone league sport until the 1988-89 academic year. At that time, the conference’s Board of Directors made a new commitment to an all-sports association, creating the North Atlantic Conference by establishing an office, hiring a full-time commissioner, and embarking on a building program. The North Atlantic Conference merged with the Seaboard Conference (the league in which Boston University, Hartford, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, among others, competed in women’s basketball) in 1989 and the NAC looked to establish conference championships in several men’s and women’s sports. The conference changed its name to America East prior to the 1996-97 academic year and moved the conference headquarters to downtown Boston in 1997. In 2005, America East hired Patrick Nero, most recently the Director of Athletics at Maine, as the conference’s third commissioner. The conference office moved its headquarters to Cambridge, Mass. in July, 2007. 2008-09 Hartford Basketball • 65 2007-08 Wrap-Up First Team 2007-08 final standings America EastOverall Team W L % H A W L Pct.
