Page 5 PRESIDENT MORDECHAI ROZANSKI RIDER UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE xxx Page 6 2007-2008 DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DON HARNUM RIDER UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE 2007-2008 Following a highly successful eight year career as Rider’s head men’s basketball coach, Don Harnum is now finding success while leading the Rider Department of Athletics and the University’s 20 NCAA Division I programs, 355 athletes and 63 administrators, coaches and support staff. In September 2005, Harnum was named interim director of athletics upon the retirement of Curt Blake and, following a national search, President Mordechai Rozanski officially named Harnum Rider’s new director of athletics in April 2006. “It was difficult to leave the sidelines,” Harnum said. “But having been a part of the bigger picture for the last few years, I felt I could make a positive contribution to Rider, the athletics program, and most importantly, to the lives of our more than 350 student-athletes.” Under Harnum’s guidance thus far, the semester grade point average for all Rider student-athletes in the spring 2007 was a best-ever 3.04, compared to the 2.96 grade point average for Rider’s non-student-athlete population. In addition, 55 percent of Rider’s student-athletes received a 3.0 or better grade point average and 14 of the 20 squads had a team grade point average at 3.00 or above. “We are extremely proud of the academic performance of our teams,” said Harnum. “It is a credit to our coaches for recruiting quality student-athletes, to the efforts of the students, and a testament to the dedication of everyone involved in the area of academic support at Rider.” Harnum has already coordinated several initiatives during his brief term, including a new athletics logo which was unveiled in July 2007. He also led the creation of the new Athletics Hall of Fame display, oversaw renovations to the Alumni Gym lobby, established the annual Captains’ Leadership Seminar, hired Rider’s first-ever strength and conditioning coordinator and has increased corporate sponsorships and donor support over the last two years. A few of the most notable facility improvement projects completed since his appointment as athletics director include major renovations to the Maurer Center, specifically in the areas of the swimming and diving team locker rooms and hallway, and the creation of a state-of-the-art varsity athletics strength and conditioning center complete with new flooring, logos on all pieces of equipment, central air conditioning, recessed lighting and a sound system. In the fall, renovations to Sonny Pittaro baseball field and the softball field began including the addition of stadium seating and press boxes for both fields and an irrigation system, field re-grade and new fencing for the softball field. Meanwhile, Harnum has also been involved in the planning and design of a new Rider athletics arena and served as a member of the Mercer County Sports and Entertainment Commission when Rider and the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) hosted the 2006 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament First and Second Rounds at Trenton’s Sovereign Bank Arena. Rider and the MAAC will team up again in 2009 to host the NCAA Women’s Basketball Regional at Sovereign Bank Arena. Additionally, Rider will serve as the host institution for the 2008 MAAC Baseball Championship to be held at Waterfront Park, home of the Trenton Thunder minor league baseball team, and the 2009 MAAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championship which will take place once again at Sovereign Bank Arena. Harnum joined Rider’s Department of Athletics in 1989 as an assistant men’s basketball coach and continued to rise steadily through the ranks over the years following his arrival on campus. He became associate head coach in 1993 and head men’s basketball coach in 1997 following the departure of Kevin Bannon, a Rider Athletics Hall of Fame coach. As head coach, Harnum led the Broncs to two MAAC titles in his last four years and to the first championship game appearance in Rider’s MAAC history. Rider basketball compiled the second best winning percentage in MAAC play during Harnum’s eight seasons as head coach and he was named MAAC Coach of the Year in 2002. He recruited and coached the 2002 MAAC Player of the Year, Mario Porter, and also recruited 13 All-Rookie Team members, including the 2002 MAAC Rookie of the Year and eventual 2,000-point career scorer, Jerry Johnson. Porter and Johnson join several of Harnum’s graduates playing in the professional ranks overseas. Harnum also guided his team to its first National Invitation Tournament bid during his inaugural year as head coach. He compiled an overall record of 127-104 while at the helm for the Broncs. While wins, championships and post-season awards are always great achievements, Harnum is most proud to have established a 100 percent graduation rate for seniors during his coaching years at Rider. A native of Selingsgrove, Pa., Harnum received his master’s degree at Trenton State College where he was a graduate assistant coach. He earned his bachelor’s degree at Susquehanna University where he was a First Team All-America selection, an Academic All-American and an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship recipient. Harnum and his wife, Janet, have two children, Abigayle and Lucas.

Saint Joseph’s earned a berth in the WNIT five times in the last six seasons. “I am very confident that as an alum and someone who has 15 years of college coaching experience with successful programs, Lynn is the right person to lead the renewal of the women’s basketball program,” Harnum said. At Saint Joseph’s, Milligan was directly responsible for recruiting and guard play for a program that compiled 111 wins in the last six seasons. Three of her last five recruiting classes were nationally ranked. She assisted with all aspects of the Hawks’ program, including on-court instruction, scouting, game-plan preparation, academic support and fundraising. “She has the necessary knowledge of the game, the ability to teach and connect with student-athletes, and the energy and relationships in recruiting to be successful,” Harnum said. “Her passion for Rider and her dedication to the development of the total student-athlete came through loud and clear during the interview process and will be a tremendous asset for Rider University.” At Rider, Milligan earned a bachelor’s degree in communication in 1992 and earned a master’s degree in counseling in 1994. Also a three-year member of the Bronc softball team, Milligan collected more than 100 career hits in just three seasons and helped lead the team to the 1990 East Coast Conference Championship as the team’s leading hitter and to the 1991 Eastern College Athletic Conference Championship. “Being able to return to my alma mater is a unique opportunity that I am thankful for and I am ready to embrace the journey ahead,” Milligan said. The 1992 Rider basketball team was the most successful in 10 years when Milligan was a senior and went 9-3 in the East Coast Conference. In her two seasons as a Rider graduate assistant coach, the Broncs were a combined 35-20, including a 25-11 record in the Northeast Conference. Prior to joining Saint Joseph’s, Milligan spent the previous six years as the top assistant coach at Drexel University. In her final season, 2007-2008 Patrick and Lynn Milligan she helped guide Drexel to a 19-10 record overall and a 13-5 mark in the America East Conference, tying for second place and advancing to the semifinal round of the league tournament. Milligan arrived in Philadelphia following a one-year stint as an assistant coach at Central Connecticut State. “We have a lot of work to do,” Milligan said. “We will attempt to outwork our opponents every day in the classroom, in the community, and on the basketball court.” The native of Voorhees, N.J., Milligan is a member of Eastern High School’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Milligan, has a twin sister, Aileen, who played basketball at Loyola College Md. Milligan is an active member of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association. She currently resides in Voorhees with her husband, Patrick. Q & A WITH LYNN MILLIGAN 2007-2008 RIDER UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE their support is constant. Academically and athletically the memories are too many to name, but the common denominator is the wonderful people who touched my life and helped me achieve success as a student, an athlete and most importantly as a person. Q WHAT IS YOUR COACHING PHILOSOPHY? My coaching philosophy is based on the quote: “Choice, not chance, determines destiny.” We will make the choice to focus on achieving the goals we set for the success of the Rider women’s basketball program both on and off the court. Our main goal will be to run a first-class program where we give our players the chance to succeed, not only at Rider, but in life after Rider. Our destiny will be defined through our fundamentals, our discipline, our hard work and our good solid decision making. Q WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY AS A PLAYER AT RIDER? I remember Coach Price taking over our program my sophomore year when we only won four games the year before. He taught us how to compete and win. By the time we were seniors we were 14-14. I remember going 9-3 in the East Coast Conference my senior year and feeling a true sense of accomplishment and achievement. Q HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE HEAD COACH AT YOUR ALMA MATER? Being named head women’s basketball coach at Rider University is a dream come true. To be able to come back to Rider and build a successful program will be a challenge I embrace. Rider University helped shape who I am today. To have the opportunity to have that same impact on our student athletes is something I take very seriously. Q WHAT IS YOUR RECRUITING PHILOSPHY? Recruiting is key to any successful program. My philosophy is to find the student-athletes who will succeed at Rider University as people, as students, and as athletes. I love recruiting. Being an assistant for the last 15 years, recruiting was my number one responsibility. As a head coach I will have that same mentality. Our goal will be to outwork people in finding and identifying quality student-athletes who fit into who we are and what we are about both on and off the court here at Rider. Q WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF? The former Lynn Donovan making a jump shot against FDU. Q WHAT CAN RIDER OFFER A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE? Rider University offers a terrific combination of academics and athletics. We are committed to the development of our student-athletes as people and players. Our goal is for all of our players to become the best players and people they can be. Rider women’s basketball will prepare you for life through hard work and discipline. Once you are a Bronc – you are always a Bronc. We take pride in everyone associated with our program and want our players to be successful in everything they do. I have a terrific staff whose job it is to help our student-athletes achieve their goals and to prepare for success in basketball and in life. Q WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE RIDER MEMORY? My favorite memory at Rider revolves around the friends I made and the relationships I developed. The life lessons and opportunities I received at Rider made my time as a studentathlete here unforgettable. My teammates of yesterday are still my best friends of today and I am most proud of the people in my life. Family is everything and to know you have the support of your family makes the good days better and the bad days manageable. My husband, Patrick, along with my parents, twin sister Aileen, and brother-in-law Jason are a comfort and constant in everything I do. I have my nephew Lucas Donovan and my niece Jamie Lynn to bring me back to basics and remind me of what is important. I am blessed with a terrific group of friends that I can count on unconditionally. Q WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM RIDER WOMEN’S BASKETBALL IN 2007-08? We will be a team that will compete every day and attempt to outwork our opponents. Our practices and work ethic will prepare us for game day. My staff and I will teach our players to compete on a daily basis through challenge and adversity. We will be ready for the challenges that lie ahead and take the steps necessary to achieve our goals of a successful program. It is a privilege to wear the Rider uniform, and when we do, we will represent our team and the University to the best of our ability.

I have known Page 12 Pam since her playing days here at Rider and have watched her grow into a terrific coach.” Durkin comes to Rider from Drexel University where she served as an assistant coach for seven seasons. “I am thrilled to come full circle and return to Rider in a coaching capacity,” said Durkin, who was Drexel’s recruiting coordinator and assisted with scouting, but was also involved with all aspects of on-court coaching, primarily with the forwards. “I am especially excited to be working with Lynn Milligan, who shares my personal connection with the program and whose enthusiasm and passion will be felt on campus and in the community.” At Drexel, Durkin was also in charge of alumni relations for the team, including coordination of Alumni Day and production of the team’s Hoop Scoop newsletter. She played an important role in the recruiting and development of a pair of All-Conference selections and the team’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2004-05, as well as two guards from the All-Star Girls Report Top 100. “I am grateful for the experience and exposure that I was afforded during my seven-year stay at Drexel and I look forward to my new opportunity with Rider basketball,” Durkin said. “It is a great fit for me professionally and personally.” While at Rider, Durkin was an All-Northeast Conference selection and also garnered NEC All-Academic Team honors. In addition, she was chosen as the 1996-97 South Jersey Collegiate Player of the Year by the Al Carino Basketball Club. She culminated her career with the Broncs in 1997 when she ranked seventh in the nation in rebounding average, pulling down 11.7 boards per game. That year she was inducted into the Sterling High School Athletic Hall of Fame. “Her experience and success as a player and a coach will benefit our entire program from top to bottom,” Milligan said. After graduating from Rider with a bachelor’s degree in biology, Durkin continued her education at The College of New Jersey. She served as a graduate assistant while earning a master’s degree in physical education and athletic administration. Her first coaching job came during the 1999-00 season when she became an assistant at Niagara University. At Niagara, Durkin was in charge of recruiting and also took part in on-court player development. 2007-2008 Pam Durkin drains a three during her junior season. A native of Somerdale, N.J., Durkin led Sterling High to four league championships and two state titles during her high school career. She currently resides in Bala Cynwyd, Pa. ASSISTANT COACH RASHANA BARNES RIDER UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE R ashana Barnes was named an assistant coach of the Rider University women’s basketball team on May 21, 2007. A 2002 graduate of Penn State University, Barnes comes to Rider from Loyola University Chicago where she served two years as an assistant coach. “I am very excited to have Rashana join our staff at Rider,” said Head Coach Lynn Milligan. “She has a great enthusiasm and love for the game. Rashana is a competitor and a proven winner who will teach our student-athletes how to succeed.” At Loyola, Barnes was primarily responsible for the Ramblers’ post players in addition to recruiting and game preparation responsibilities. Barnes served for two seasons as the director of basketball operations at Saint Joseph’s University. “Having worked with Rashana at Saint Joseph’s, I have seen first-hand the positive effect she has on young people,” Milligan said. “I am truly excited to have the opportunity to return to the East Coast and work with Lynn,” Barnes said. “I’ve always admired her work ethic and energy. She has a pure passion for the game and a commitment to fully develop student-athletes.” A four-year letterwinner at Penn State, Barnes broke the Nittany Lions’ 17-year freshman record for blocked shots and earned the Unsung Hero award as a sophomore when PSU reached the 2000 NCAA Final Four in Philadelphia. Barnes was named AllBig Ten her junior and senior years, ending her career third on the PSU all-time blocked shots list (189) while becoming just the 11th Nittany Lion to record 1,000 points and 700 rebounds in a career. The Los Angeles Sparks made her their third-round selection (48th overall) in the 2002 WNBA Draft. Barnes is a 1998 graduate of West Catholic High School in Philadelphia and currently resides in West Trenton, N.J. Rashana Barnes drives for a layup during the 2000 NCAA Final Four as a Penn State sophomore. Page 13 ASSISTANT COACH JOHN MILLER RIDER UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE R ider University Head Coach Lynn Milligan named John Miller as an assistant coach on June 15, 2007. “I am thrilled to add John to our staff,” said Milligan, “He is a young, energetic, hard working coach who has a love for the game.” Miller comes to Rider from Mount St. Mary’s University where he served as an assistant coach last season. Miller graduated from Mount St. Mary’s in 2006 with a degree in business and a minor in communication. Miller was responsible for weight training and physical fitness sessions, helping out with daily practices, handling videotape exchange with opponents and monitoring study halls. “I am very honored to be here at Rider,” said Miller, who played two years on the Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers varsity golf team. “Coach Milligan is a great coach and a great person, and I hope to learn from her and help in building a strong program.” “John will be a huge asset to the Rider basketball family,” Milligan said.

We will work hard on and off the court to be the best conditioned team we can be to help us succeed. ‘Proper preparation prevents poor performance.’ ” -Coach Milligan The Fall 2005 opening of the Student Recreation Center provided Rider University with the opportunity to relocate recreational fitness activities from the Maurer Center and consolidate strength and conditioning training for its student-athletes by utilizing the space formerly occupied as the Rider Fitness Center. To convert it into a state-of-the-art facility for all 20 of Rider’s NCAA Division I varsity athletics teams, major renovations took place which included: the removal of one wall and expansion of the facility from 2,600 to 4,200 square feet; the purchase of new equipment customized with the Rider logo; installation of a quiet and Page 16 energy-efficient central air conditioning system; new flooring, a drop ceiling, and lighting; improved circuit training flow from station to station; the transformation of the entrance to the facility; attractively painting all the walls in the Rider University color scheme; and strategically placing logos on the walls to identify the facility as an athletics strength and conditioning center. This facility now rivals any mid-major strength and conditioning center in the country and will allow Rider to enhance the competitive advantage of its existing programs.

All of the little things, banging in the post and playing solid defense, we feel she can do while pulling down eight to 10 rebounds a game. She is strong and runs the floor very well.” Anderson led the Broncs in field goal percentage and was third on the team in blocks and rebounds. Kowalczyk, a 6-2 center, was third on the team in field goal percentage shooting over forty-two percent from the field. “Melissa is a solid post player,” Milligan said. “She can be one of our defensive stoppers on the inside. We will need her to use her size to rebound for us.” Llamas, a 6-3 center, played eight minutes in the opener as a rookie before injuring her back, missing the rest of the season. “Ilda got hurt early last season and has been working to get herself back into basketball shape,” said Milligan. “We need her to be healthy in order to know what she can do for us.” Sepulveda, a 5-5 guard, was third on the team last season in three-point field goal percentage. “Amanda is a gym rat and loves the game of basketball and, because of that, she is going to be very successful,” said Milligan. “She is heady, strong, can get to the rim or pull up in the paint. We are going to work with her to make better decisions and see the whole floor. She is fast, athletic and works very hard. She has the potential to be a terrific point guard in the league.” Wisniewski, a 6-2 forward/center, led the Broncs in blocks, finishing seventh in the MAAC with .77 blocks per game. “Stephanie has worked very hard this summer,” Milligan said. “She has the size and skill and is working on her strength to go with those facets of her game. She will give us a true inside presence and will be a legitimate post scorer for us. We are looking for a great season from Stephanie.” The newcomers include sophomore transfer Tammy Meyers along with freshmen Cintella Spotwood and Shannon Ferguson. Meyers, a 5-9 guard from Willingboro in Burlington County, transferred to Rider from George Mason University where she appeared in 11 games as a freshman in 2005-06. “Tammy is one of our leaders,” said Milligan. “She is chomping at the bit and can’t wait to put her uniform on and play. She is an extremely talented guard. She is big and strong; she has range, can go off the dribble and finish and knows how to win.” Spotwood, a 5-8 guard from Trenton Central High, earned Associated Press AllState honors as a senior, leading Trenton to the NJSIAA Group IV state title. “We are thrilled to have Cintella as an addition to the team,” Milligan said. “She knows how to win, coming out of a very successful program at Trenton Central. She has led all of her teams both on and off the floor. She is a bigger guard who can do a lot of things and she is going to be a special player.” Ferguson, a 5-11 small forward from Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, earned First Team All-League honors at Upper Dublin High. “Shannon is a true blue-collar worker,” said Milligan. “She can probably play the two, three, four or five spots on the floor. She works hard and does things the right way. She is a terrific athlete that can do a little bit of everything and comes from winning programs both on the high school and AAU levels. She can come in and do the dirty work and make an impact right away.” Milligan fully expects that the team will use the experiences of a 2-28 season last year to motivate them and move forward. “We are excited,” said Milligan who returned to her alma mater as the 19th head coach on April 24, 2007. “We have a talented group who are working really hard and have changed attitudes in the hopes of changing perceptions and expectations. Their work ethic has increased to where they can be a successful Division I team so we are thrilled with where we are now. We obviously still have a lot of work to do, but the foundations that we are putting in place now will bring us a lot closer to our competition. One of our themes this season is ‘play in the present’. We can only control what the present holds for us. We can’t control the past, but can learn from it. Our focus is going to be all about moving forward and we will work very hard so that the present and beyond is where we feel it should be.” In addition to the 18 game MAAC schedule, the Broncs open the season at home against in-state rival Monmouth on November 9 before traveling to UMBC November 11. Other non-conference home games include Hofstra (November 15), Central Florida (November 23), Towson (December 2), Army (December 12), Princeton (December 29) and Virginia (January 2). Road games include the U.S. 2007-2008 Maura Gillooly Page 19 OUTLOOK RIDER UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE Naval Academy (November 18), Penn (November 28) and Rice (December 20). “The non-conference schedule is going to be competitive,” Milligan said. “We have a good mix of teams from solid conferences like the Atlantic Coast (ACC), Colonial Athletic (CAA), Conference USA and the Patriot and Ivy Leagues. But no matter who we are playing, we need to look at every game like a ‘revenge game’ because over the last two seasons, almost all of these teams defeated Rider. It’s a strong schedule but there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be competitive. Everyone we play has a solid successful program from a solid conference so every day is going to be a test for us. And truth be told, it’s not going to really matter who we are playing and when. Game day is game day and that is one of the biggest obstacles that you have to overcome. It doesn’t matter what the other uniform says. It is game day and you can only worry about the uniforms that say RIDER.” Marist, which advanced to the Sweet 16 in last season’s NCAA Tournament, looks to be the conference favorite. “I think the MAAC is a terrific conference,” said Milligan. “I think everyone is excited about building on the success that Marist had in making the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament. I think the conference top to bottom is extremely competitive and through an 18-game schedule, anybody can beat anybody on any given day. Overall, our goal is to have four or five players average in double-digits so we are harder to guard and scout. If you have one player who averages 30 points a game, with the coaching level in the MAAC, you aren’t going to win many games. You have to have multiple players able to do different things.” Milligan looks to return Rider to its heyday when, as a player, the former Lynn Donovan helped the Broncs compile 36 wins and started Rider on a streak of seven seasons in a row with double-digits wins. “There is anxiousness and anticipation,” Milligan said. “Everything that you have worked for over the past 15 years is finally here and coming to fruition. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to come in and turn this around and it is pressure that we are looking forward to. It’s what I wanted to do, the challenge that I wanted to face. Rider Alumni Gym - Home of the Broncs Page 20 2007-2008 helped shape who I am so to be able to come back and shape the lives of the next generation of players is special. Our goal is to have the players be successful in school so they are prepared to be successful for life after Rider and we take that job very seriously. Every day has been a challenge and since the end of April, we’ve hit the ground running. Everyone has been extremely supportive of the program and we want the same things that they want. Having administrators that have the same goals as you do makes it that much easier. That support is going to change the culture of the program. From alumni to friends to the student body, we have the support to create a successful program and we are going to have a strong foundation on which to build on.” With a strong foundation and a team that will be prepared in all aspects of the game, both on and off the court, the 2007-08 basketball season looks to be an exciting time as the Broncs look to the past to bring the team into the future.

BRONCS OFF THE COURT 07-08 BRONCS IN THE COMMUNITY RIDER UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE 2007-2008 CLINIC WITH U.S. WOMEN’S SENIOR NATIONAL TEAM In September, 2007, in conjunction with the USA Women’s Senior National Team exhibition game against Australia at Sovereign Bank Arena (Trenton, N.J.), the Rider women’s basketball team and Head Coach Lynn Milligan conducted a clinic for girls in grades 1-8 at Alumni Gym. Attended by more than 100 participants, the clinic offered a unique opportunity to interact with the Rider squad along with several members of the USA National team who stayed after the clinic for an autograph session. The U.S. team is comprised of members of the 2007-08 USA Basketball Women’s Senior National Team, which lists 22 players including eight Olympic gold medalists, six World Championship gold medalists and all 12 members of the bronze medalist 2006 USA World Championship Team.

BRONCS IN THE COMMUNITY RIDER UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE 2007-2008 RACE FOR THE CURE “It is important for our program to give back and to be a positive, visible presence in our community. We are in a situation to be able to help people. We look forward to contributing and giving back to a community that embraces the University’s mission.” -Coach Milligan The Rider women’s basketball program takes the commitment to community service seriously. For 14 years, the players and coaches have volunteered their time at the New Jersey Race for the Cure organized by the Susan G. Komen Foundation as a major fundraiser in the fight against breast cancer. The Broncs lend their support by providing entertainment to and supervision of the participants’ children. They paint nails and faces, apply tattoos and keep the kids busy while the adults do their part by running or walking to raise money. Following the adult run and walk, the kids participate in age-appropriate races with the Broncs cheering them on every step of the way. Page 51 NATIONAL GIRLS AND WOMEN IN SPORTS DAY RIDER UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE 2007-2008 he Rider Department of Athletics celebrated National Girls and Women in Sports Day on Sunday, February 25, 2007, welcoming over 1,000 fans to Alumni Gym for the MAAC game against Marist. Prior to the game, several women’s teams at Rider put on clinics in the Student Recreation Center. The keynote speaker was Rider Athletics Hall of Famer and former Rider Board of Trustees member Meg Walsh ’85. Also in attendance were Dr. Mordechai Rozanski, president of Rider University, Don Harnum, director of athletics and Nancy Roberts, associate athletic director and senior woman administrator. “National Girls and Women in Sports Day is a wonderful tradition at Rider University,” said Roberts. “We wanted to showcase all of our women’s teams so we altered our program again this year and included an all-sports clinic for the second time. We received so many positive comments from our student-athletes who were involved as well as the parents of the young girls who participated that we’re already looking forward to making it even better next year.” NGWSD began in 1987, evolving into an effort to bring national attention to the achievements of female athletes, the positive influence of sports participation, and the challenges and issues facing females in sports. The 2008 celebration will mark the 12th consecutive year that Rider has recognized NGWSD. In the past, Olympic athletes such as World Cup soccer player and Olympic gold medal winner Julie Foudy, track & field star Joetta Clark, two-time USA Olympic swimmer Cristina Teuscher, paralympian Jean Driscoll and basketball star Teresa Weatherspoon have joined Rider in this celebration. In 2005, Joan Berger Knebl and Virginia “Jean” Ventura Manina, members of the 1952 Rockford Peaches who were featured in the movie A League of Their Own helped Rider celebrate NGSWD. Berger Knebl was an all-star second baseman in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League on which the 1991 film was based while Ventura Manina joined the Peaches in 1952 at the age of 15 and played two seasons at first base. The AAGPBL was formed in 1943 and ran for 13 seasons. T “Rider University women’s basketball has been associated with National Girls and Women in Sports Day for many years. This is a terrific way to share our commitment to women in sports with the youth in the community. We are anxious to continue this great tradition.” -Coach Milligan Page 52 MIDNIGHT MAACNESS RIDER UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE 2007-2008 Each year the Broncs mark the official beginning of the basketball season in a big way–with the annual Midnight MAACness celebration. Featuring a three-point shootout and a dunk contest by the men’s team, lots of music and huge crowds, Midnight MAACness is another reason they call Alumni Gym the Broncs’ Zoo–it’s crazy! “Midnight MAACness is an unbelievable way to showcase Rider basketball and kick off a new season. Everyone on campus looks forward to this amazing night and it’s a great atmosphere for our student-athletes. The support from the campus community is awesome. The Boncs’ Zoo is alive and well.” -Coach Milligan Page 53 METRO ATLANTIC ATHLETIC CONFERENCE RIDER UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE 2007-2008 With 10 institutions strongly bound by the sound principles of quality and integrity in academics and excellence in athletics, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference enters its 27th year of competition during the 2007-2008 academic year. The MAAC was founded in 1980 by six charter members: the U.S. Military Academy, Fairfield University, Fordham University, Iona College, Manhattan College and Saint Peter’s College. Competition followed one year later in the fall of 1981 with members competing in the sports of men’s cross country and men’s soccer. On January 2, 1982, Army traveled to Iona for the first MAAC men’s basketball game and the MAAC story had begun. Today, Conference members include: Canisius College, Fairfield University, Iona College, Loyola College (Md.), Manhattan College, Marist College, Niagara University, Rider University, Saint Peter’s College, and Siena College. In addition, associate members Duquesne University and LaSalle University compete in football. Mount St. Mary’s College, Providence College, Saint Joseph’s University, Virginia Military Institute and Wagner College compete in men’s lacrosse. St. Francis (N.Y.) College, Villanova University and Wagner College are all associate members of the MAAC Women’s Water Polo League. The MAAC will support 25 sports and conduct 24 championships during the 2007-2008 academic year. The 2008 MAAC Basketball Championships returns to the Times Union Center in Albany, New York, with Trenton’s Sovereign Bank Arena preparing to host the 2009 championship. By having an excellent working relationship with these facilities, the MAAC has been able to attract a number of NCAA Championship events. Most recently, the MAAC, Canisius College and Niagara University successfully hosted the 2004 and 2007 NCAA Division I Men’s Page 54 Basketball Championship First and Second Rounds at the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York. All three parties will host that event again in 2010. The MAAC and Rider University will co-host the 2009 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship Regional at the Sovereign Bank Arena, after recording the third highest attendance figure for the women’s championship with the First and Second Rounds in 2006. MAAC ASSOCIATE SPORTS In January of 1993, the conference announced the formation of the MAAC Football League, which began play in September 1993. The league consists of the two football-playing MAAC schools - Iona and Marist - and two associate members Duquesne and La Salle. The MAAC Football League keeps costs to a minimum through a series of innovative conference rules involving travel squad size, length of the practice season, and a limited number of full-time coaches. Most importantly, however, there are no athletic scholarships, just need-based financial aid. In June of 1995, the MAAC continued to develop opportunities for student-athletes as the conference announced the formation of the MAAC Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse Leagues. The men’s league began competition in the spring of 1996, while the women’s league commenced in the spring of 1997. The men’s league consists of four MAAC schools -- Canisius, Manhattan, Marist, and Siena - and five associate members - Mount St. Mary’s, Providence, Saint Joseph’s, Virginia Military Institute and Wagner. The women’s league consists of MAAC institutions Canisius, Fairfield, Iona, Manhattan, Marist, Niagara and Siena. In 2002, the MAAC added the MAAC Women’s Water Polo League, making it the 25th sport that the conference sponsors. The league is made up of three MAAC schools Iona, Marist and Siena - as well as three associate members, St. Francis (NY), Villanova and Wagner. ACADEMICS AND ATHLETICS The MAAC prides itself on the accomplishments of its student-athletes in the classroom, as well as on the field. Mary Beth Riley, a 1991 graduate of Canisius, was the first recipient of the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. In the fall of 1998, Erin Whalen, a member of the Iona women’s rowing team, was awarded one of the nation’s 32 Rhodes Scholarships for academic achievement and civic leadership. Jose Vargas, a Loyola student, was also awarded a Rhodes Scholarship in 1999. First-class facilities are the rule with MAAC schools, as teams regularly play in top-notch arenas, such as Madison Square Garden, the Continental Airlines Arena, HSBC Arena, Times Union Arena, the Arena at Harbor Yard and Sovereign Bank Arena. The other MAAC championships boast their share of outstanding locales as well, such as Waterfront Park in Trenton, home of the baseball championship, and the fabled Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, where the cross country championships are contested. This year, the MAAC will take its Men’s Soccer Championship as well as Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships to Orlando, Florida, where it will conduct its post-season championships at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex. In 2008, the MAAC Cross Country METRO ATLANTIC ATHLETIC CONFERENCE RIDER UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE Championships will be at Walt Disney World. In the past several years, several of the MAAC schools have also enjoyed success in NCAA Tournaments. MAAC schools have made a total of 71 NIT appearances and 39 NCAA appearances. Combined with recent bracket expansion in several sports, the MAAC possesses 12 automatic bids in men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis, women’s water polo and men’s lacrosse. Last season, the Marist women’s basketball team advanced to the Sweet 16 before falling to the eventual National Champion, the University of Tennessee. In 2003, the Iona College men’s cross country team finished fourth - just one point out of third place - at the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships. Canisius softball, Manhattan track, Manhattan and Marist baseball and Loyola soccer and lacrosse have also flourished on the national stage. 2007-2008 The MAAC has also been a leader in the forefront of technology, expanding the notoriety of the league into cyberspace. In 2007, the league retained XOS Technologies, Inc., to sponsor the MAAC web page. Launched in November 1999, www.maacsports.com has been a great success, providing fans with up-to-date contest results, fan polls and an online merchandise store. The MAAC president for the 2007-2008 academic year is Rev. Joseph L. Levesque, C.M., the president of Niagara University. The vice-president is Rev. Brian F. Linnane, S.J., the president of Loyola College. Bill Maher, director of athletics at Canisius College, will chair the Committee on Athletic Administration, and Teddi Burns, associate athletics director/senior woman administrator at Loyola College will serve as vice chair.

Trailing 10-9, Manhattan went on a 12-0 run, six points by junior forward Caitlin Flood, to take a 21-10 lead.

Senior Kara Borel had her eighth career ‘double-double’ with 11 points and 10 rebounds, but it was not enough to defeat Saint Peter’s at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, New Jersey. Tied at 41 with 14:05 left in the game, the Peahens went on a 10-0 run, four points by Natasha Morris to take a 51-41 lead with 8:30 left. Morris finished with 10 points and four rebounds. Up 10 with 1:54 left, the Peahens closed the game on a 7-2 run for the final score. Saint Peter’s opened the game with a 9-4 run in the first 3:30, eight of the nine points by Elyse Siciliano. Trailing 13-8, Rider went on a 10-2 run, with five different players scoring to take an 18-15 lead mid-way through the first half. The game was tied 29-29 at the half.

outstanding contributions to Rider athletics. JESSICA BECK ’96 INDUCTED 2003 In 2003 Jessica Beck became the seventh member of the Rider women’s basketball program to be elected to the Rider Athletics Hall of Fame. The 1995-96 Rider Athlete of the Year, Beck is the only Rider basketball player, male or female, to complete a ‘double-grand’ of 1,000 career points AND 1,000 career rebounds. A two-time AllNortheast Conference and two-time team MVP, Beck led the NEC in blocked shots and rebounding three consecutive years, graduating as the Rider career leader in both. She was Rider’s first First Team All-Metropolitan Sportswriters Association selection. Beck, inducted into the Somerville High School Athletics Hall of Fame in her first year of eligibility, became the 11th woman to join the Rider Athletics Hall of Fame. She is currently the head women’s basketball coach at Raritan Valley Community College. AGNUS MCGLADE-BERENATO INDUCTED 2002 The Rider University Department of Athletics inducted the former Rider women’s basketball and volleyball coach into the Athletics Hall of Fame on January 27, 2002. A former head coach at Georgia Tech, McGlade-Berenato is currently at the helm of the Pittsburgh Panthers. McGlade-Berenato compiled 128 wins in her four years at Rider, 60 on the basketball court and 68 on the volleyball court. She led the 1981-82 Rider basketball team to a 26-7 record, reaching the Eastern AIAW Division II Championship Game. Her 1982 volleyball team was 20-8, and her 1983 squad was 27-10. McGlade-Berenato was a three-year starter at Mount St. Mary’s College, twice serving as team captain before graduating in 1980. She played club basketball in Sens, France, and coached at Holy Cross High School in Delran before coming to Rider. McGlade-Berenato is a 1976 graduate of Gloucester Catholic High School where she won several state championships with her sisters. MARY ELLEN BAYNES TUTZAUER ’84 DEBBIE SNYDER ’94 INDUCTED 1992 The all-time assist leader for both men and women at Rider, Baynes compiled 632 assists in her career. At the time of her graduation, she also ranked second with 1,188 points, a number still good enough to put her eighth on the all-time list. Inducted in 1992, Baynes set a Rider record with 262 assists in her sophomore season, a record that stands 23 years after her graduation. LISA FEDERICI COOK ’84 INDUCTED 1994 As a sophomore, Federici led the Broncs to their finest record to date, a 26-7 season, and was named the team’s most outstanding player. She finished her career with 1,105 points and 504 assists, seventh and second on the respective all-time lists. Inducted in 1994, Federici is tied with Mary Ellen Baynes for most assists in a game, dishing off 15 against West Chester during the 1981-82 season. KELLY ECKARDT ZAWODNY ’90 INDUCTED 1996 Inducted in 1996, Eckardt once held both the scoring and rebounding records for Rider women. Though both marks have since been broken, her 1,652 points and 848 rebounds prove her to be one of the Broncs’ finest athletes. In her senior season, Eckardt scored 612 points and connected on 195 field goals, records that still stand today. INDUCTED 2000 In 2000, Debbie Snyder ’94 became the fifth women’s basketball player to enter the Rider Athletics Hall of Fame. Entering the Hall in her first year of eligibility, Snyder is Rider’s career scoring leader. She was the Rider Female Athlete of the Year and Rider’s New Jersey Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (NJAIAW) Woman of the Year in 1993-94, and graduated with a Rider-record 1,706 points. Snyder left Rider fifth in career assists and seventh in career rebounds and her 15.9 ppg average is the highest single season average in Rider’s Division I history. Snyder was the East Coast Conference Player of the Year as a sophomore, and was the team MVP three consecutive seasons. She graduated cum laude and worked Rider basketball games as a color analyst both for radio and telvision. MARGARET “MEG” WALSH ’85 INDUCTED 2001 Meg Walsh earned Second Team AllConference honors as a senior on the Rider basketball team, finishing eighth in the league in scoring. Walsh completed her basketball career with close to 800 points, having played in 100 Rider games. Walsh was also a four-year starter on the Rider softball team, and went on after graduation to serve as a member of the Rider Board of Trustees.

They are a part of the tradition that we want to build on and add to. As a Rider alum I want to have our alumni as a prominent part of not only our past but our future, and I want them to be proud of the team we put on the floor.” -Coach Milligan “I often reflect upon my days as a Rider basketball player to provide inspiration for the challenges encountered in everyday life”. Chelsea Brown Capstraw ’92 “I believe Rider paved the way for my future. It was the right choice for me for so many reasons. Studying Education and playing Rider basketball truly prepared me to coach at the Division I level for Army. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunities I was presented with as a student-athlete and for the people I met along the way who helped me to grow. Above all, I cherish the memories with my teammates and friends who so quickly became my sisters. Three years later and hundreds of miles away from each other, we still find time for a girls’ get-together!” Lauren Thomer ’04 “Rider became my home away from home. The Rider community was an ideal setting for me to grow as a studentathlete. The support of the faculty was tremendous and I developed friendships that last to this day.” Jen Feeney Lovell ’95 With Coach Milligan and her staff, “WELCOME BACK RIDER PRIDE AND TRADITION!” Jessica Beck ’96 Rider Athletics Hall of Fame member “Rider University gave me an incredible education that has enabled me to pursue and attain many of my personal and professional goals. The experience of competing at the Division I level in basketball enabled me to realize my potential as a student-athlete and develop qualities that I have carried with me since graduation. The social and learning atmosphere at Rider can only be described as ‘outstanding’. The teachers, mentors and coaches that were greatly responsible for making me who I am today, were very professional, patient and extremely knowledgeable. I certainly look back fondly on my years at Rider and the lifelong friendships I have made. I am very grateful to Rider and the women’s basketball program. Best wishes to Lynn and her staff for a great season.” Linda DiGiuseppantonio Genther ’86 Page 84
