of higher education and cultural enterprise.
Each academic year, the Hofstra campus
and the programs offered grow and change
to meet the demands of our students and our

beautiful campus is an accredited arboretum
with 113 buildings on 240 acres. There are
approximately 4,200 students living on
campus, and Hofstra offers them and all
students an extensive array of academic and
social activities. Additionally, Hofstra’s close
proximity to Manhattan means that students
have easy access to the wondrous cultural,
social and career offerings of the city.
What has remained consistent throughout the

Head Wrestling Coach–Tom Shifflet
T
om Shifflet, a four-time NCAA
Championships qualifier and a
three-time All-American as a
student-athlete at Edinboro University,
and most recently the head wrestling
coach at the University of North Carolina
at Greensboro, became the 10th head
wrestling coach in Hofstra University’s
storied 58-year wrestling history on May
17, 2006.
“An All-American collegiate wrestler, a
top-notch recruiter and an outstanding
coach, Tom Shifflet has all the qualities
that we were looking for to continue the
winning tradition of Hofstra Wrestling,”
Hofstra Director of Athletics Jack Hayes
said. “He has been a winner at every
level, knows what it takes to get to the
top, and shares our vision and passion to
make the Pride program the best that it
can be.”
Shifflet came to Hofstra after four seasons as head wrestling coach
at UNC Greensboro, where he was directly responsible for all
aspects of the Spartans program including instruction, recruiting,
scheduling, academic counseling and community relations. His
tenure at UNCG was marked by annual improvements in recruiting,
recognition and success. He also created and organized the annual
35-team Southern Scuffle wrestling tournament, which is one of the
largest and more competitive Division I regular season tournaments
in the country. During his four seasons at UNC Greensboro, Shifflet
recorded a 32-32 dual meet record and had nine wrestlers qualify
for the NCAA Championships.
A three-time All-American and a four-time national qualifier as a
student-athlete at national powerhouse Edinboro from 1992 through
1995, Shifflet began his coaching career as an assistant at Georgia
State University in 1995, helping the Panthers post back-to-back
winning seasons, and developed three conference champions and
four NCAA qualifiers.
In 1997 Shifflet left Georgia State to begin a five-year tenure as an
assistant coach at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. During
his time with the Big Red, Shifflet coached 24 NCAA qualifiers,
three NCAA All-Americans and helped Head Coach Rob Koll
to a pair of Ivy League championships in 1999 and 2001. More
importantly, Cornell was also consistently ranked among the
nation’s top-15 programs. The final Big Red recruiting class that he
was involved with placed fifth at the 2006 NCAA Championships
in Oklahoma City.
After five seasons at Cornell, the Amherst, New York, native was
named the head wrestling coach at UNC Greensboro on May 17,
2002. After a typical transitional season in his first year at UNCG,
Shifflet managed to sign one of the top recruiting classes in the
nation in 2003. That class, which included one high school AllAmerican, four honorable mention high school All-Americans and
seven state champions, received an honorable mention based on
InterMat’s 2003 final rankings.
In 2003-04 the Spartans claimed their first
winning season since 1998-99, posting a
9-6 overall record with the nine victories
ranking as the third most in the program’s
12-year history. In addition, two of his
recruits – Kevin Artis (141 lbs.) and Daren
Burns (197 lbs.) – captured conference
championships in their respective weight
classes with Burns being named the
Southern Conference Freshman of the
Year.
Shifflet guided UNCG to the most wins
in school history during the 2004-05
season as the Spartans recorded a 125 overall record, 4-1 in the Southern
Conference. He produced the Southern
Conference Freshman of the Year for the
second consecutive year as Joe Kemmerer
earned the award following a 31-7 season. Kemmerer, along with teammates Burns
and Joe Lowe, each won their respective
weight classes at the Southern Conference Mat Jam and qualified
for the NCAA Tournament.
In 2005-06 UNCG tied a school-record by sending four wrestlers
to the NCAA Division I Championships in Oklahoma City and
the Spartans finished tied for 31st with Harvard in the final
Championship standings. The Spartans finished the season with an
11-6 dual match record and a 4-1 mark in the Southern Conference
and had two wrestlers miss out on all-American honors by one
victory.
“I am excited about continuing the tradition that Hofstra University
has in wrestling,” Shifflet said. “It is a great opportunity for me
to move the program along, like Tom Ryan did, without missing
a beat. I look forward to setting lofty goals and working with a
great group of student-athletes to achieve them. I want to move
the Hofstra Wrestling program into the top 10 and top five in the
nation. We certainly have that opportunity at Hofstra, which was
big reason why I took this position. I eagerly await the chance to
work with the alumni and the friends of Hofstra wrestling to keep
our program moving forward.”
Shifflet graduated from Edinboro University in 1995 with a
Bachelor of Science degree in health and physical education. As
a wrestler, he registered 118 wins for the Edinboro Fighting Scots
and was coached by the legendary Bruce Baumgartner. Competing
at 142 pounds, Shifflet finished seventh at nationals as a freshman,
sixth as a sophomore and third as a senior. He is one of four threetime All-Americans in school history. Shifflet also received the
Eastern Wrestling League Freshman of the Year Award in 1992 and
the EWL Wrestler of the Year Award in 1995. He was inducted into
both the Edinboro University and the EWL Halls of Fame in 2006. In 1996 Shifflet placed seventh in the final U.S. Olympic Trials in
freestyle wrestling at 149.5 pounds. One year later he placed sixth
in both the World Team Freestyle Trials and the U.S. Open.
Shifflet is married to the former Alice Faron of East Setauket,
New York.

NCAA
Division I
national champion
Joe Dubuque is in his first season as an
assistant coach at Hofstra University.
Dubuque, a three-time NCAA All-American
who captured national titles at 125 pounds
in 2005 and 2006, posted an overall record
of 114-18 including a 69-6 dual mark and a
19-6 Big Ten record in four years at Indiana
University.
Dubuque, a native of Bloomfield, New
Jersey, was a scholastic national champion
as a senior and a two-time state champion at
Glenn Ridge High School. After red-shirting
the 2001-02 season at Indiana, he tallied a
23-5 overall record and a 15-3 mark in duals
and ranked as high as 12th as a freshman but
J
missed the Big 10 championship due to an
injury.
A year later, Dubuque qualified for his
first NCAA appearance with a fourth place
finish at the Big 10 Championships and
then went on to earn All-America honors
with an eighth-place showing at the NCAA
Championships. He finished the year with
a 34-9 overall record and a 21-2 dual mark,
and captured the 125-pound title at the
Northern Iowa Open.
In 2004-05 Dubuque placed third in the
Big 10 Championships and then defeated
three ranked opponents on his march to
claim the 125-pound title at the national
championships. He became the first Hoosier
to appear in a NCAA final since Roger
Chandler did so in 1997, and the first IU
grappler to claim a national championship
since Brian Dolph captured the 150-pound
title in 1990. He finished the year with a 29-3
overall record, an 18-1 slate in duals, a 6-1
mark in the Big Ten and a 12-2 mark against
ranked opponents.
As a senior during the 2005-06 season, he
recorded a 28-1 mark, including a 7-1 record
against ranked opponents, and defeated
three ranked opponents at the NCAA
Championships en route to the 125-pound
crown. Dubuque became just the second
Hoosier in Indiana history to capture two
national titles and the first Hoosier to register
back-to-back NCAA crowns. Only the fourth
wrestler in Indiana history to earn three
All-American awards, he helped lead IU
to an 18th-place finish at the 2006 NCAA
Championships.
Dubuque, who earned a bachelor’s degree in
recreation sports management from Indiana,
resides in Hauppauge, New York.

2006-07 Hofstra Wrestling Outlook
W
hen former Hofstra Wrestling Coach Tom Ryan left Long
Island for Ohio State last April after 11 seasons and
building the Pride program into a budding national power
with an 11th place finish at the NCAA Championships, the Hofstra
Administration sought out a coach who would not only continue the
winning tradition of the program, but bring it to the next level.
On May 17, 2006, Tom Shifflet, a four-time NCAA qualifier and a
three-time All-American as a student-athlete at Edinboro University
in the early 1990s, a proven recruiter while an assistant coach at
Cornell University and Georgia State, and a successful head coach at
UNC Greensboro, became the 10th head wrestling coach in Hofstra
history.
The affable 36-year old comes into a situation with 11 returning
lettermen, six starters, six NCAA qualifiers, five Colonial Athletic
Association champions and two All-Americans from last year’s
squad that wrestled its way into the Top 10 for most of the NCAA
Championships before finishing 11th, one point out of a ninth-place tie.
While Shifflet has seen “what is”, he can also see “what can be”.
After retaining Assistant Coach Rob Anspach, who helped create
Hofstra’s rise in his previous five seasons, and hiring 2006 national
champion Joe Dubuque as a second assistant coach, Shifflet turned
his attention to the team that surprised many people last March. “As
I came to Hofstra, I knew that this team has a great deal of talent,”
Shifflet stated. “But I think I am really surprised at how good the
team’s work ethic is, and the great attitude they have toward winning.
They are all very talented and they all want to win and be better. It is
motivating for a coach to have a group of successful wrestlers who
are either All-Americans or are about to turn the corner and become
an All-American.”
While Ryan left the talent cupboard far from bare, he did create a
concern for Shifflet when two wrestlers and two recruits followed
him to the Buckeye state. “While we do have a lot of talent, depth
will be a concern throughout our line-up,” Shifflet comments. “We
lost several wrestlers during the coaching transition and that created
an issue for us.”
The hands-on coach will be looking at both on-the-mat and off-themat practices to improve and protect each individual this season.
“It’s a long season, we’ll be in shape and we’ll be looking to improve
every day,” Shifflet stated. “We will look at the way we train and
monitor the wrestlers. We will evaluate everything – the mental,
physical, and athletic aspects of the sport – and adjust accordingly to
reach our goals. But we can’t afford to have many injuries.”
With the talent on the team, achieving many of the goals will be tied
directly into the general health of the squad. “I think we have the
talent and potential to be a top 10 team, maybe even top 5 program,
in the country,” Shifflet said. “We have numerous guys who are
ranked in the top 20 in the country entering the season so we should
be setting our goals pretty high. One of our goals this year is, that
by the time the CAA Championships roll around that we have our
10 best wrestlers healthy, and competing for a shot at the NCAA
Championships. If you can do that, the sky is the limit and you have
a great opportunity to finish very high. If we get banged up it could
take us out of a dual meet, out of winning the conference title, or
doing well as the national championships.”
125
The 125-pound weight class is one of several weights in which
injuries could take a major toll. Two-time NCAA Championship
qualifier, Dave Tomasette (Sewell, NJ) returns to his starting role but
he is all alone in this division. The 2006 Colonial Athletic Association
champion posted a 14-8 record as a sophomore and enters the new
season ranked 20th in the nation in the InterMat preseason poll, and
number one in the CAA preseason rankings. Tomasette, who has
struggled with injuries his first two seasons, will benefit from the
arrival of Assistant
Coach Joe Dubuque.
“Dave is very tough
Charles Griffin
and has a strong work
ethic,” Coach Shifflet
says. “He has a great
deal of talent but the
main issue for him
to be successful is to
stay healthy. He will
benefit greatly from
the coaching of 2006
national champion
Joe Dubuque. The
two met on the mat
at nationals last
March with Dubuque
posting a 4-2 victory
in what he called his
toughest match of the
Championships.”
James Strouse
133
The 133-pound weight class was a major problem last season as
the Pride was forced to forfeit or throw a young and undersized
wrestler into the fray. The Pride will depend on high school senior
national champion Lou Ruggirello (Walden, NY) to fill the spot.
The freshman, who was a three-time New York State champion and
helped his Valley Central High School team to the New York State
Championship in 2006, was also a second team ASICS All-American
selection as a senior. “Lou is a guy who is going to surprise many
people this year,” Shifflet says. “Some may think he is undersized or
not strong enough, and I can tell you that is definitely not the case.
He is very talented and is going to do well this year.” Backing up
Ruggirello are sophomore Craig Kennedy (Parsippany, NY), an allarea and all-country selection as a senior, and a district champion
both as a freshman and senior at Parsippany High School, and redshirt freshman Mark Fontana (Palisades Park, NJ), a 2005 transfer to
Hofstra from Dominican College who did not wrestle last season.
141
The 141-pound weight class is one of the few divisions in which
Hofstra has some depth. Junior Charles Griffin (Reading, PA),
a two-time Colonial Athletic Association champion and NCAA
Championships qualifier, returns after a 27-8 season in 2005-06.
Griffin, who captured a conference title at 133 in 2005 and at
141 last season, enters the season ranked 14th in the country, and
second in the CAA. “Charles is focused and had a great preseason,”
Shifflet commented. “I think he is going to have a tremendous year.”
Challenging Griffin will be senior John Manarte (Farmingville, NY),
a CAA finalist and NCAA Championship qualifier as a freshman in
2004. Manarte, who wrestled behind Griffin last season and posted a
14-5 record, will be looking to upset the junior in preseason wrestle-
offs and get the starting nod. “John is a senior who has been working
hard to see action,” Shifflet said. “He has a unique, unconventional
wrestling style that creates problems for opponents.” Freshman
Ryan Brown (Cherry Hill, NJ), a two-time all-district selection who
finished eighth in the state as a senior at Camden Catholic High
School, will also be looking for match action. “Ryan is a hard-worker,
who gives us some depth at both 141 and 149,” Shifflet commented.
“He will benefit from being around Griffin and Manarte this year.”
149
The 149-pound weight class, along with 141, will be the most
competitive divisions in preseason drills. Red-shirt freshman Mitch
Smith (Sandyville, WV), a three-time West Virginia AAA state
champion, and a state finalist as a junior, returns and will be looking
to take over the spot that three-time All-American Jon Masa vacated
due to graduation. Smith posted a 12-3 mark in open tournaments last
year, and finished second at the Penn State Open. Battling Smith will
be senior Mike Parziale (Woburn, MA), who red-shirted last season
after transferring from Franklin & Marshall in 2005. Parziale, who
posted an 83-26 record at F&M over his three-year career, was 11-5
record in open tournaments last season, and placed second at the East
Stroudsburg Open. “This weight class will be interesting with Mitch,
who is very talented and tough to wrestle, and Mike, who is coming
down from 157 to 149, and has solid technique,” Shifflet said. “Both
are athletic and strong, and give us a solid 1-2 punch.”
157
Senior James Strouse (Levittown, NY), a three-time NCAA
Championship qualifier and a two-time Colonial Athletic Association
champion, returns to his starting role and will be looking to join
the All-American parade in March. Strouse, who enters the season
2006-07 Hofstra Wrestling Outlook
174
Mike Patrovich
ranked 11th by the Amateur Wrestling News, 12th by InterMat, and
first in the CAA preseason poll, posted a 29-12 mark as a junior,
placed fourth at the East Stroudsburg Open and seventh at the Cliff
Keen/Las Vegas Invitational. “James, who is strong and technically
solid, has set some high goals this year,” Shifflet stated. “He is a
proven wrestler who we will work with to alter some things to get
him on the podium at the end of the season.” Backing up Strouse is
freshman Rich Muzikar (North Caldwell, NJ), an all-county selection,
a two-time all-conference pick and the New Jersey Prep state
champion at Montclair Kimberly Academy.
165
The Pride lost an All-American at 174 pounds but picked up one at
165 pounds, and he is the same person. Returning All-American,
senior Mike Patrovich (Islip, NY) was given an NCAA waiver in
September to compete during the 2006-07 and that made Coach
Shifflet quite happy. “Getting Mike back this year is a big boost for
us,” Shifflet exclaimed. “After working with him, it is easy to see
that he is a very driven individual, with a strong work ethic. He, too,
has some high goals this year. We will work hard with him to attain
those goals. Mike is obviously the proven team leader and we will be
looking for him to guide the squad toward some very high team goals
as well.” Patrovich, who placed fourth in the NCAA Championships
last year at 174 to earn his first All-American honor, made his third
nationals appearance and captured his second Colonial Athletic
Association title. He posted a 34-5 record and enters the new season
ranked third by both InterMat and the Amateur Wrestling News at
165. Sophomore Jesse Koproski (Wilton, CT), who posted a 74-23
record and was a two-time team Most Valuable Wrestler at Wilton
High School, will back up Patrovich.
10
Sophomore Alton
Lucas (West Babylon,
NY), a former high
school All-American
and a finalist at the
senior nationals in 2005
who Coach Shifflet
says “enters the season
a little bit under the
national radar,” steps
into the starting role at
174 in 2006-07. Lucas,
a former member of
the Hofstra Football
team, got caught up in
the two-sport shuffle
last year, was bounced
from 165 to 174, and
needed more time
to get into wrestling
shape. With football
out of the picture this
season, Lucas, who was
10-6 overall at 165, 174 and 184 last year, went through preseason
wrestling drills and conditioning and is ready to go. “Alton has grown
into the complete 174 pound wrestler this year,” Shifflet says. “He
is very strong and athletic and I think opponents are going to a have
difficult time with him this year.”
184
Junior Joe Rovelli (Wilkes-Barre, PA), a two-time NCAA
Championships qualifier and Colonial Athletic Association champion,
returns to defend his conference title and take the next step on the
national stage. Rovelli, who captured the East Stroudsburg Open title
and placed sixth at the Cliff Keen/Las Vegas Invitational last year,
posted a 28-13 record and was a win away from the All-American
podium last year. He enters the season ranked fifth by InterMat,
eighth by both the Amateur Wrestling News and W.I.N. Magazine, and
is the top-ranked wrestler in the CAA at 184. “Joe is another guy with
a successful, unconventional wrestling style,” Shifflet commented.
“He is bigger and stronger and is having a great preseason. With some
refinement, All-American honors are definitely within his reach.”
197
Returning All-American, senior Chris Weidman (Baldwin, NY)
was the surprise wrestler of the NCAA Championships last March.
Entering the championships with a 15-11 mark, the unseeded
Weidman, who placed second in the Colonial Athletic Association
Championships, captured his first three matches, including upsets of
number one seed Wynn Michelak
from Central Michigan, and
eighth-seed Ryan Bader from
Arizona State, and placed sixth at
197 pounds. Weidman, who lost a
month with an injury early in the
season, was named to the NWCA’s
All-Effort Team for his NCAA
Championships performances.
“Chris had a great run at the end
of last season and it has motivated
him and made him believe how
good of a wrestler he really is,”
Shifflet said. “He enters the new
season confident that he can return
to the podium in the challenging,
but wide open, 197-pound
division.”
285
The Pride have struggled at 285 in recent years and it is Shifflet’s hope
that Cornell University transfer Matt Pollock (Fulton, NY) will end
that slide this year. A three-year All-Ivy League nose guard, Pollock,
who is working on a master’s degree at Hofstra, will be returning
to the mat full-time for the first time since high school. A former
All-New York State first team selection at Bodley High School, who
helped lead his team to two sectional titles and a fifth-place team
finish at the 2001 state championship, Pollock wrestled briefly for the
Big Red of Cornell after the football season last year. “Matt is strong
and athletic and has a solid background in wrestling,” Shifflet said.
“He was heavily recruited in wrestling coming out of high school
but decided to play football. The key to his success is getting back in
wrestling shape, getting the dust off of him and getting some more
Chris Weidman
Joe Rovelli
mat exposure. He is focused and has a great work ethic and I have
a lot of confidence in him.” Backing up Pollock will be sophomore
Gus Del Vecchio (West Caldwell, NJ). Del Vecchio wrestled in three
open tournaments last year, posting a 2-4 mark. “Gus is very talented,
aggressive and wrestles hard for seven minutes,” Shifflet says. “He
will challenge Pollock for the starting role.”
The Schedule
The Pride will face at least eight teams that are ranked in the NWCA
Preseason Top 25 in 2006-07. Ranked opponents include fourthranked Oklahoma, seventh-ranked Michigan, 12th-ranked Central
Michigan and 14th-ranked Pennsylvania on the road, and eighthranked Penn State, ninth-ranked Cornell and 21st-ranked Lehigh in
the metropolitan area and top-ranked Minnesota at the Journeymen/
Brute Northeast Collegiate Duals
in Albany over Thanksgiving
weekend. In addition, the Pride
could meet other ranked teams at
the NWCA National Duals at the
University of Northern Iowa in
January. The Pride will wrestle
two of their five home matches,
January 28 against Lehigh and
February 3 against Cornell, at
the New York Athletic Club in
Manhattan. “We have a difficult
schedule against some of the best
teams in the country,” Shifflet
says. “We’ll see some of the best
wrestlers in the country in those
matches, the National Duals and at
the Las Vegas Invitational. It’s the
best way to prepare for the NCAA
Championships. This will give us
what we need to be exposed to
when we get to March.”

2006-07 Hofstra Wrestling Notebook
NEW COACH, NEW SEASON: This is Hofstra’s 59th season of
intercollegiate wrestling. The Pride has had 10 coaches direct the
wrestling program, beginning with Walter “Brick” Stone in 1947 and
currently with Tom Shifflet, who is in his first season with the Pride.
Shifflet, who took over for Tom Ryan after his departure to Ohio State
last spring, was a three-time All-American and a four-time NCAA
Championship qualifier as a student-athlete at Edinboro University
in the early 1990s. He comes to Long Island after four successful
seasons at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
HOFSTRA’S 2006-07 SCHEDULE: Hofstra’s 2006-07 schedule
may be one of the best in school history. The Pride will face at
least eight teams that are ranked in the NWCA Preseason Top 25.
Ranked opponents this season include top-ranked Minnesota, fourthranked Oklahoma, seventh-ranked Michigan, 12th-ranked Central
Michigan and 14th-ranked Pennsylvania on the road, and eighthranked Penn State, ninth-ranked Cornell and 21st-ranked Lehigh in
the metropolitan area. In addition, the Pride could meet several other
ranked teams at the NWCA National Duals in January.
MANHATTAN MANIA: The Pride will wrestle two of their five
home matches at the New York Athletic Club (NYAC) in New York
City. The January 28 match against 21st-ranked Lehigh, and the
February 3 contest against number nine Cornell The NYAC was
founded in 1868 with a singular commitment to the growth and
development of amateur sport in the United States. Suffice it to
say that the Club holds a unique place in the sporting pantheon, a
position it bolsters with each passing year. Thirty-nine NYAC athletes
competed at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.
PRIDE RETURNEES: Hofstra returns 11 lettermen, six starters, six
NCAA qualifiers, five conference champions and two All-Americans
from last year’s squad that placed 11th at the NCAA Division I
Championships.
RETURNING ALL-AMERICANS: Seniors Mike Patrovich and
Chris Weidman are Hofstra’s returning All-Americans in 2006-07.
Patrovich, who earned a fourth place finish at 174 pounds at the
NCAA Championships last March, will drop down to 165 pounds
this year. Weidman, who placed sixth at 197 pounds last March,
earned All-Effort Team honors by the NWCA for his finish at the
Championships.
CONFERENCE UNDEFEATED STREAK NOW AT 47: Hofstra
enters its 2006-07 CAA regular season with a conference dual match
undefeated streak of 47 (46-0-1). The Pride has won 44 consecutive
conference dual matches. Hofstra, which lost its last conference dual
match in 1998-99, was 6-0-1 in 1999-2000, 6-0-0 in 2000-01 and
2004-05, 6-0-0 in 2001-02, 7-0-0 in 2002-03, 8-0-0 in 2003-04 and 60 in 2005-06. The last time Hofstra dropped a conference dual match
was on February 17, 1999 when the Broncs of Rider beat the Pride,
28-10 in an East Coast Wrestling Association (ECWA) match.

Director of Athletics–Jack Hayes
J
ack Hayes is in his third year
as director of athletics at
Hofstra University in 2006-07.
Hayes was appointed by Hofstra
President Stuart Rabinowitz as
the University’s new director of
athletics on October 4, 2004. Hayes
came to Hofstra after serving as an
associate director of athletics at the
University of Connecticut for three
years.
policies and procedures for the
annual giving program, assisting
with the cultivation and solicitation
of major gift prospects, coordinating
capital project campaigns, overseeing
special events, and managing the
athletic ticketing operation. While at
UConn, he served as a senior staff
member for a $40 million program
that supports 24 sports and 650
student-athletes.
From 1998 to 2001 Hayes served as
director of athletic administration at
Fordham University, where he was
responsible for the comprehensive
internal operations of the athletic
department, including fiscal
management, facilities management,
staff training and development, ticket
operations, and NCAA compliance
initiatives. Hayes, the eighth director of
athletics at Hofstra, oversees
Hofstra’s 18 Division I teams, an
athletic administration of more
than 70 professional staff, and 430
student-athletes. He also serves
on the NCAA Division I Lacrosse
committee.
Hayes’ proven expertise in
enhancing academic and athletic
success of student-athletes,
strategic planning, fundraising, marketing,
university relations, facility enhancement,
budgetary management, and NCAA
compliance will complement Hofstra
University’s athletic department in its quest
to further enhance its athletic program, and
assist Hofstra’s student-athletes both on and
off the field.
2005-06 was a banner year for Hofstra
Athletics as the Pride won Colonial Athletic
Association (CAA) championships in
men’s soccer, women’s soccer, wrestling,
softball and men’s lacrosse and competed
in NCAA Tournaments in each sport. In
addition, the men and women’s basketball
teams were selected to play in the
National Invitation Tournament
(NIT). In his first year (2004-05) as
Hofstra’s athletics director, the Pride
captured three CAA championships
and advanced to postseason play in
four sports – men’s soccer, wrestling
and softball took part in the NCAA
Tournament, while men’s basketball
participated in the NIT.
Hayes has placed a significant
emphasis on fundraising during
his first two years. Pride Club
membership reached all-time
highs, both in terms of the number
of contributors and funds raised.
Resources generated through
fundraising efforts have been used
to enhance programs and facilities
26
available to student-athletes. Recent
initiatives include the renovation of the
study lab in Margiotta Hall and a new
academic study area in the Physical Fitness
Center.
Hayes came to Hofstra University
with more than 14 years of athletic
administration experience, including
management positions at four Division I
institutions. The three years prior to taking
his current position were highlighted by
leading the University of Connecticut
Division of Athletics fund-raising efforts,
where his responsibilities included
managing the operations of the UConn
Athletic Development Fund, implementing

for early intervention should academic
difficulties arise.
Area four is study halls. The University
Tutorial Program provides all athletic
study halls with tutors in various subjects
and assesses the needs of individual
student‑athletes to provide the most
effective study environment. The
assessment tool administered by the UTP
is also used to provide various enrichment
seminars for the student‑athletes such as
time management, writing skills, campus
resources, and surviving the college
transition.
H
ofstra University is committed
to the pursuit of academic and
athletic excellence. The University
views participation in intercollegiate
athletics as benefiting the student-athlete
in an educationally enhancing experience
beyond any other opportunity available.
Hofstra also realizes the time commitment
made by student-athletes and has
committed the facilities and resources to
support all students.
The University Tutorial Program (UTP)
provides free tutoring in every subject
area to any Hofstra student. Students
are able to obtain up to 1 1/2 hours of
individual tutorial assistance per week
for each subject. They are also able to
utilize the various help labs on campus,
which specialize in providing assistance
in writing, business and QM, and biology
and chemistry. In addition to this service,
student-athletes are assigned an academic
advisor who helps address the various
needs of student‑athletes. The academic
advisor emphasizes four areas in their
efforts to ensure the academic
success of Hofstra’s studentathletes.
The counselor also meets with prospective
student‑athletes, at the coach’s request,
to share the many benefits of a Hofstra
University education.
Area two is academic advising. In an
effort to ease the demand on the Office
of Advisement, the academic advisor

Sports Medicine/Athletic Training
T
hrough a comprehensive athletic training program,
Hofstra University student-athletes are provided
excellent health care during their attendance at the
University. A coordinated effort between the University
Health and Wellness Center, the Athletic Department and
outside health care providers ensures every student-athlete
the best medical attention possible.
University student-athletes have direct access to a myriad
of health care services. Managing the coverage of every
practice and competition event is Hofstra University’s
athletic training staff, which is led by third-year Head
Athletic Trainer Evan Malings and features nine full-time
athletic trainers and numerous student athletic trainers. The
athletic trainers provide injury management, rehabilitation
and treatment to the entire Athletic program. Utilizing three
state-of-the-art athletic training rooms, these professionals
work tirelessly to ensure the safe participation of Hofstra’s
student-athletes and to return injured athletes to play quickly
and safely.
Supporting the athletic trainers is team physician Dr.
Damion Martins. Dr. Martins, a physician with Pro Health
Care, Inc. in Lake Success, New York, is in his fourth year
on Hofstra’s medical team. Martins experience in the sports
medicine field includes serving as team physician for the
University of Maryland, University of Maryland-Baltimore
County and Coppin State athletic departments. He was
also on the medical staff of the National Football League’s
Baltimore Ravens.
Hofstra University sponsors a fully accredited, highly
competitive undergraduate degree program for athletic
training majors, in which Hofstra student athletic trainers
participate in all aspects of the health care system.

Hofstra Symbols and Heritage
The Symbols of Hofstra University
The Shield Logo
I
n 2005 Hofstra introduced a new logo as part of a Universitywide re-imaging. Both the University’s logo as well as the
Pride logo were designed by advertising agency Powell New
York, a full-service branding and marketing agency, noted as one
of the ten firms to watch in 2005 in Advertising Age.
The new University logo features an “H” within a shield design.
Hofstra University has always been known for both a tradition
of academic excellence and a willingness to evolve to meet the
needs of students and the greater society. This shield represents
the University’s commitment to our heritage and a tradition of
academic excellence, while the dynamic representation of the H
within the shield embodies the evolutionary, changing nature of
the University. Hofstra University has both honored its traditions
and heritage while embracing changing disciplines, using new
technology and remaining relevant to scholarly pursuits and the
demands of industry.
The Seal
T
he Hofstra seal was designed from the royal Dutch
emblem by art instructor Constant Van de Wall. The seal
is modeled on the coat of arms of the House of OrangeNassau. The round seal includes the coat of arms, flanked by
lions on either side. A lion also stands in the center of the coat
of arms, holding a sword in its right claw and a bundle of seven
arrows, which represent the seven provinces of Holland, in its
left. The seal also carries the motto of the House of OrangeNassau in Old French: “Je maintiendray” (I stand steadfast). In
1988 one of the two lions on the seal was officially replaced with
a lioness. The Hofstra seal is still in use today, though not as
a logo. The seal will be affixed to formal documents, and used
for official purposes such as commencement, convocations, and
official University functions.
The Pride
A
s of July 1, 2005, our athletic teams are officially
known as the Pride, providing our teams with a strong,
consistent image that resonates with the Hofstra
community. The new Hofstra Athletics logo consists of a graphic
mark of a male and female lion in powerful, synchronized motion
with the word mark of the Hofstra Pride or the specific sports
team. This logo will be the only one used by Hofstra Athletics.
The Hofstra Pride refers to a pack of lions, male and female,
which work together towards a common goal and symbolize
determination and strength. The Pride conveys both the
teamwork and togetherness that is a trait of lions living in
prides, who have a close bond and work together for the good
of the entire group. The teamwork evident in prides are traits of
Hofstra’s student-athletes, who support each other in furtherance
of a common goal, while working tirelessly to represent their
teams and, in turn, the University. Lions also possess speed,
tenacity, and agility, and are relentless in their pursuit of a goal,
which are traits our student-athletes demonstrate both on and off
the field.
The first consistent use of the word “Pride” relating to athletics
was in 1989 when the University’s athletic booster club was
founded and called itself The Pride Club, which at the time
simply referred to the pride that alumni and fans had for our
teams. The Pride identity has progressed over the past decade
in a more specific fashion than just the expression of a feeling.
After one lion on the Hofstra seal was changed into a lioness
to symbolize gender equity, the University mascots -- Kate and
Willie Pride, a lioness and lion – were introduced. Hofstra’s Dutch Heritage
T
ies to Dutch heritage and the Netherlands began with William S. Hofstra, after whom the school is named and on whose
property the University was started. William Hofstra died in 1932 and when his wife, Kate, died 16 months later, her will
provided that their house, 15-acre estate, and bulk of her inheritance were to be used for a “public, charitable, benevolent, or
scientific purpose” as a memorial to her husband.
The idea for a college came from Truesdel Peck Calkins, former Hempstead superintendent of schools, who was then with New York
University. He suggested that NYU might offer extension courses on the Hofstra property. Hofstra opened in September 1935, as a
two-year extension branch of NYU; its official name was “Nassau College – Hofstra Memorial of New York University at Hempstead,
Long Island.” When the doors opened, the sole building on campus was Hofstra’s mansion, which he had affectionately named the
Netherlands after his homeland, and all classes were held there. The mansion, which houses administrative offices, is now the center of
Hofstra’s 240-acre campus, and has been renamed Hofstra Hall.

Wrestling Facilities
David S. Mack Sports and
Exhibition Complex
Home of Hofstra Wrestling
T
he Pride will begin play in their eighth season at the David
S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex. The $15 million,
93,000 square-foot facility, formerly known as Hofstra
University Arena, was renamed in August 2006 following a gift from
Hofstra Trustee David S. Mack, a senior partner of the real estate
development firm The Mack Company.
“Mr. Mack has been extremely generous to Hofstra over the years,
and the David S. Mack arena will serve as just the latest reminder
on our campus of that generosity,” said Hofstra University President
Stuart Rabinowitz, referring to the David S. and Sondra Mack Student
Center and Mack Hall, which houses the University Club.
Construction of the Mack Sports Complex began in the fall of 1998
and was completed in December 1999. The Mack Sports Complex
also hosts commencements, exhibitions, trade shows, concerts and
other special events.
The David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex features full
chair back seating for spectators in an arena configuration. The airconditioned facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art electronic
scoreboard, men’s and women’s locker rooms, a training room, a large
weight room, dressing rooms for stage events, four concession stands,
five ticket windows, six luxury boxes, a Hofstra Pride Club lounge
and offices for Hofstra’s Men’s and Women’s Basketball programs.
The Pride have hosted some of the biggest names in collegiate
wrestling at Hofstra Arena, welcoming Oklahoma State, Michigan,
Michigan State, Nebraska, Oregon State, Iowa and Iowa State in
recent years.

Hofstra Wrestling Room
L
ocated in the Physical Fitness Center, the Hofstra
Wrestling Room provides the Pride with a
year-round practice and training facility that is
available to the wrestlers to work out on their own time,
as well as scheduled practice times. The 40x80 room
contains double floor mats and wall mats. The walls
of the room are adorned with plaques commemorating
Hofstra’s Wrestling All-Americans and poster size photos
of current members of the Pride.
A new conditioning room is located next to the Hofstra
Wrestling Room. The conditioning room features
Airodyne stationary bicycles, StairMaster stair climbing
machines and treadmills. The room also contains
televisions and VCRs so the wrestlers can watch tapes of
their matches.

2005-06 CAA Year in Review
HOFSTRA CAPTURES FIFTH CONSECUTIVE CAA TITLE;
MASA NAMED CAA CHAMPIONSHIP OUTSTANDING WRESTLER
S
even of the eight
Hofstra wrestlers
who earned berths in
the 2006 NCAA Division I
Wrestling Championships
in Oklahoma City from
March 16-18 went
as Colonial Athletic
Association champions
after the Pride captured
its fifth consecutive CAA
Championship at Drexel
University’s Daskalakis
Athletic Center on
March 4.
With seven individual champions, one second-place finisher and a
fourth-place finish from its nine competitors in the 2006 conference
tournament, the Pride posted their second most points in a conference
championship in school history on the way to a sixth consecutive
conference title. Hofstra captured the East Coast Wrestling
Association Championship in 2001 before the league merged with
the CAA. The Pride also equaled the school record, set in 2005, with
seven individual champions.
Two-time All-American senior Jon Masa became just the second
wrestler in Hofstra history to capture four conference titles with a
pin of Drexel’s Chris Renninger at the 2:42 mark of the 149-pound
championship match. Masa joins Jason DeBruin (1999-2002) as the
only four-time league titlists. Masa, who would go on to earn his
third All-American honor, was named the CAA Championship Most
Outstanding Performer. At the CAAs, he won by a major decision, a
tech fall in the semi-finals and with a pin in the finals.
Four Hofstra wrestlers earned their second conference titles. Senior
Mike Patrovich, who was named the CAA Wrestler of the Year, won
for the second straight
year, this time in the 174pound final defeating Doug
Umbehauer from Rider,
7-3. Patrovich, made his
third NCAA Championship
appearance. Junior James
Strouse defended his
Jon Masa
2005 CAA title at 157pounds with a 7-3 title
match decision over Ryan
Hluschak from Drexel. Like
Patrovich, Strouse made his
third NCAA Championship
appearance. Sophomore Joe
Rovelli also defended his 2005 CAA title at 184-pounds with a 6-0
decision over Joe Maroney from Rider. Rovelli made his second trip
to the NCAA Championships. Sophomore Charles Griffin earned his
second CAA title at a new weight, defeating Chris Davis from Sacred
Heart, 7-3, in the 141-pound final. Griffin captured the 2005 CAA
Rookie of the Year award and the 133-pound championship.
Sophomore Dave Tomasette also made his second NCAA
Championship appearance, but this time, he went as the CAA
champion after defeating Bryan Lashomb from Old Dominion, 87, in the 125-pound title match. Tomasette was a CAA finalist in
2005. Senior Chris Vondruska earned his first trip to the NCAA
Championships with a CAA championship at 165-pounds. He
defeated Steven Tisdell from George Mason in the title match.
Junior Chris Weidman made his first NCAA Championship
appearance after earning a place in the CAA finals at 197-pounds.
Weidman, who lost in the final by fall in 2:54 to Adam Wright of
Old Dominion, went on to earn a sixth place finish and All-America
honors. Junior heavyweight Jon Andriac placed fourth in the CAA
Championship

PATROVICH NAMED CAA WRESTLER OF THE YEAR
H
ofstra University wrestler Mike Patrovich was selected the
2006 Colonial Athletic Association Wrestler of the Year in
a vote by conference coaches. Patrovich’s award marks the
fourth straight year that a Pride wrestler has been named the CAA
Wrestler of the Year following Chris Skretkowicz in 2003 and 2004,
and Jon Masa in 2005.
Patrovich, a native of Islip, New York, earned his first All-America
honor by placing fourth at 174 pounds at the NCAA Championships
in Oklahoma City in March. He advanced to the championship
semifinals before losing to eventual national champion Ben Askren
from Missouri. In the consolation semifinals, Patrovich defeated
Penn’s Matt Herrington, 9-4, before dropping an 11-2 decision to
Iowa’s third-seeded Mark Perry in the third place match. He finished
the season with a 34-5 record.
Mytych, a freshman 125 from Wyoming, PA (Northampton), placed
third in the CAA Championships and advanced to Nationals. Mytych
was 26-12 overall this year, including 19-8 in duals and 8-1 in the
CAA.

The Colonial Athletic Association
C
oming off one of the most
successful seasons in its 21-year
history, the Colonial Athletic
Association continues to enhance its
reputation as one of the nation’s top
collegiate conferences.
With a geographic footprint that stretches
from Boston to Atlanta, the CAA
encompasses five of the nation’s nine
largest metropolitan areas. On the playing
field, the conference has produced 16
national team champions in five different
sports, 33 individual national champions,
12 national players of the year, 11 national
coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award
winners. Even more impressive, however,
are the honors accumulated away from
competition, which include five Rhodes
Scholars and 19 NCAA post-graduate
scholars. In 2005-06, the CAA had 11
ESPN The Magazine Academic AllAmericans and more than 1,500 of our
4,000 student-athletes posted at least a
3.2 grade point average while lettering
in a varsity sport and received the CAA
Commissioner’s Academic Award.
The landscape of the conference stretches
along the majority of the East Coast, and
includes six of the nation’s top 25 media
markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4),
Boston (5), Washington, D.C. (8), Atlanta
(9) and Baltimore (23). The number of
television homes in the CAA market
exceeds 19 million.
The CAA conducts championships in
21 sports. Male athletes compete for
championships in baseball, basketball,
cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer,
swimming & diving, tennis, track & field
and wrestling. Female athletes battle
for conference titles in basketball, cross
country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse,
soccer, softball, swimming & diving,
tennis, track & field and volleyball. The
CAA will also begin sponsorship of a 12team Division I-AA football league in the
fall of 2007.
The conference made its presence known
nationally in men’s basketball, with four
teams advancing to post-season play for
the second year in a row. George Mason
became the first mid-major program since
1979 to reach the Final Four, knocking
off powerhouses Michigan State, North
Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut
along the way. The Patriots were ranked
50
#8 in the final ESPN/USA Today Top
25 poll, which was the highest ever for
a CAA team. UNC Wilmington claimed
its third league title in the past five years
before dropping an overtime decision in
the NCAA Tournament. Old Dominion
became the first conference team to reach
the final four of the NIT, defeating league
member Hofstra in the quarterfinals.
Drexel was the first CAA squad to make
the final four of the NIT Pre-Season TipOff Tournament, where it dropped close
decisions to national powers Duke and
UCLA. The CAA was ranked eighth out
of 31 conferences in the final RPI with six
teams among the top 88 in the country.
In women’s basketball, the CAA had a
league-record four teams earn post-season
berths and was ranked #8 in the final RPI.
Perennial power Old Dominion, which
claimed its 15th consecutive conference
title, has a storied history that includes
three national championships (1979, 1980,
1985) and a national runner-up finish
in 1997. Delaware, James Madison and
Hofstra received berths in the 2006 WNIT.
The conference also excels in many
other sports. CAA squads have won 10
field hockey national titles since the
championship began in 1981 and Old
Dominion advanced to the national
semifinals in 2005. In baseball, James
Madison’s Kellen Kulbacki was chosen as
the Co-National Player of the Year and the
league had 28 players chosen in the 2006
Major League Baseball draft. The CAA is
annually ranked among the nation’s top 10
conferences in men’s and women’s soccer,
and traditionally sends multiple teams to
the NCAA Tournament. Hofstra’s men’s
lacrosse team was ranked #2 in the nation
last season and tied an NCAA record
with 17 victories while CAA women’s
tennis players Megan Moulton-Levy of
William & Mary and Tatsiana Uvarova
of VCU both earned All-America honors
after facing off in the quarterfinals of the
NCAA Championship. In 2005-06, 21
league teams earned NCAA Tournament
berths in 16 sports. There were 37 CAA
student-athletes who earned All-America
honors.
CAA member institutions are committed
to excellence in the classroom. The
Colonial Academic Alliance was created
in 2002 by the league’s presidents with
a goal of expanding their partnership
to all aspects of university life outside
of intercollegiate athletics. Among the
programs already established are an
undergraduate research conference,
coordination of study abroad programs
and granting visiting academic status
to student-athletes traveling to an away
contest so that they have access to
libraries, academic resource centers and
computer labs.
In 2002, two faculty members from CAA
institutions were awarded academia’s most
coveted distinction – the Nobel Prize.
John B. Fenn, a research professor in
the Department of Chemistry at Virginia
Commonwealth University, received the
Nobel Prize for chemistry, and Vernon
Smith, a professor of economics and law
at George Mason University, shared the
Nobel Prize in economic sciences.
Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has
guided the CAA since its inception.
Long-time members George Mason
University, James Madison University,
the University of North Carolina at
Wilmington, Old Dominion University,
Virginia Commonwealth University and
the College of William & Mary were
joined by the University of Delaware,
Drexel University, Hofstra University and
Towson University in 2001. Georgia State
University and Northeastern University
became members of the conference on
July 1, 2005.
The CAA traces its roots back to 1983
when three of its current membersGeorge Mason, James Madison, and
William and Mary - were aligned with
East Carolina University, the United States
Naval Academy and the University of
Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC
South). During the next two years, the
league added 11 sports, acquired two
new members (UNC Wilmington and
American University) and decided to form
a new association. The transformation
from ECAC South to CAA took place on
June 6, 1985. Old Dominion became a
member of the CAA in 1991-92 and VCU
joined the conference prior to the 1995-96
season.
From all-star athletes to Nobel Prize
winning faculty, the CAA takes great
pride in producing performers who stand
out both on the playing field and in the
classroom.
The History of Hofstra Wrestling
T
he history of Hofstra
Wrestling dates back almost
60 years. The program,
which began as a club team in 1946,
grew quickly and became nationally
recognized within two decades.
The first season of Hofstra
Wrestling saw Walter “Brick” Stone
as the team’s head coach. In its first
season as a club team, Hofstra went
undefeated in six matches. Home
matches were held at Hempstead
High School. Three members who
helped initiate the first team were
Dick Bemson, Frank Fusco and Jim
Geiger.
Wrestling became a varsity sport during the
1947-48 season. That year Hofstra entered
the NCAA Championships held at Lehigh
University after compiling a 5-2-1 record.
Under Stone’s direction, the wrestlers set a
school record of 16 straight victories during
the early ‘50s. The 1951-52 squad suffered
only two losses en route to a 10-2 season.
One of the early program’s outstanding
wrestlers was Art Strunk.
The next Hofstra wrestlers to enter the
national spotlight were Dan Notine and Pete
Damone. In 1956 Notine became the first
Hofstra wrestler to capture a coveted Middle
Atlantic Conference Championship. Damone
replaced Stone as the team’s coach in 1960.
The early tradition of success continued
during Damone’s six-year reign as head
coach. Damone produced several fine
wrestlers, including Don Hannon (‘60), Tom
Haseman (‘61), Dick Snyder (‘63) and Ken
Robinson (‘64). The 1965-66 squad won the
Metropolitan Intercollegiate Championship
and crowned its first Metro title winner, Art
Rudolph.
In 1966 Bob Getchell became the program’s
third coach. Getchell’s first squad produced
two Metro Conference winners, Butch
Jemmott and Ken Robinson. His second
team won the Metro title with Jemmott,
Dave Berman and Marty Willigan all taking
individual titles, and wrestlers such as
Steve Molello offering great contributions
to the team. Willigan was named the 1968
Tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler. He then
went on to the NCAA Championships where
he took fourth place, becoming Hofstra’s first
All-American.
Nick Gallo
In 1969 the team finished third in the
Metropolitan and Middle Atlantic Conference
Championships. Willigan captured second
place in the NCAA Championships, losing in
the final round to Iowa State’s legendary Dan
Gable, the top wrestler in the United States.
Gable would later coach Hofstra’s current
head coach, Tom Ryan, while he attended
Iowa.
The wrestling program continued to develop
under Getchell’s direction. Joel Kislin became
Hofstra’s second All-American when he
placed third at the NCAA Championships in
1973. In 1972-73, Hofstra hosted the Middle
Atlantic Conference Championships and
placed second.
In the mid-1970s, standouts Nick Gallo,
a 126-pounder, and Don Mayorga, a
heavyweight, began to make their presence
felt. They powered Hofstra to three East
Coast Conference Championships. (The
Middle Atlantic Conference formed the East
Coast Conference during this time.) Gallo
went on to become an alternate for the United
States team in the 1976 Olympic Games. In
1977 he captured the NCAA Championship at
126 pounds. He also earned the Tournament’s
Outstanding Wrestler Award.
Bob Getchell then left the coaching ranks to
become Hofstra’s Director of Athletics. Al
Bevilacqua replaced him and continued the
winning tradition. Hofstra won six straight
ECC Championships from 1975 through
1980. After missing a year at the top in 1981,
Hofstra captured two more titles in 1982 and
1983.
Hofstra standout Nick Gallo returned to his
alma mater in 1979 to direct the program. In
his four years at Hofstra, the team posted a
48-16 record and captured three
ECC championships. As head
coach, Gallo sent 11 wrestlers
to the NCAA Championships.
Among these 11, Ed Pidgeon,
a 1981 All-American, finished
fourth nationally while Peter
Capone, a two-time All-American,
finished seventh and second at the
NCAAs.
Joe Bavaro took over the reigns
as head coach from 1983 through
1987, posting a 23-36 record, and
leading the Dutchmen to another
ECC Championship in 1983.
Under Bavaro’s leadership, Capone, a 167pounder, was named the ECC Tournament’s
Outstanding Wrestler. Mike Arena, a 150pounder and three-time conference champion,
was also named the ECC Tournament’s
Outstanding Wrestler under Bavaro.
In 1987 former Hofstra wrestler and threetime conference champion Tony Arena
replaced Joe Bavaro as head of the Hofstra
Wrestling program. In his two years at
Hofstra, Arena led the team to a 15-17-1
record.
Javier Armengau returned to his alma mater
in 1989 to take over the Flying Dutchmen
program. Armengau wrestled under Gallo
and Bavaro and was a three-time captain. As
coach at Hofstra, Armengau guided wrestlers
such as Ralph Tubello to outstanding careers.
The 1992-93 season saw Tubello break 100
career wins and freshman Jason Wartinger
become Hofstra’s second first team freshman
All-American. (The first was Mike Hogan in
1977.)
Tom Ryan, a Long Island native and a twotime All-American at Iowa, took over the
reigns of the program in 1995. Ryan has
brought in fine recruiting classes since his
arrival and in 1997 was able to coach three
wrestlers, Joe Catalanotto, Ryan Edmundson
and Mike Quaglio, to NCAA Tournament
berths. Catalanotto won an automatic
berth by winning the 126-pound title at the
ECWA Championships, while Quaglio and
Edmundson were at-large selections. In 1998
the Dutchmen were again well represented
at the NCAA Championships. Sophomore
Eric Schmiesing and senior Russell Jones
both received at-large bids, while junior
James Hieronymous and senior Mike

Champions. Hofstra finished the year ranked

The Ray Downey, Sr. Memorial
Scholarship and Wrestling Fund
T
he Hofstra University wrestling program is proud to honor
the memory of an American hero FDNY Deputy Chief Ray
Downey with the Ray Downey Memorial Scholarship. Chief
Downey, who served as Chief of Special Operations Command,
lost his life heroically during the terrorist attacks at the World Trade
Center on September 11, 2001.
Ray Downey was appointed to the FDNY on April 7, 1962.
In August 2001, he was placed in charge of all SOC (Special
Operations Command) operations - Rescue, Squad, Haz Mat
and Marine - and promoted to Deputy Chief. Chief Downey’s
phenomenal 39-year career with the FDNY was built upon success
after success and rescue after rescue. One of the most - if not the
most decorated men in the Department, Chief Downey received five
individual medals for valor and 16 unit citations.
A devoted family man who lived in Deer Park, New York, with
his wife, Rosalie; father of five married children, Joseph, Marie,
Chuck, Ray Jr. and Kathy; and adored grandfather of nine, Chief Downey was an avid fan of the sport
of wrestling and supporter of the Hofstra wrestling program, where his sons Joe and Ray Jr. were
outstanding athletes. Chief Downey loved wrestling, and he always attended their matches. He continued
to support the Hofstra wrestling program long after his sons graduated.
After his passing, the Downey family, longtime supporters of Hofstra University and the Pride wrestling
program, created a scholarship fund to honor Chief Downey’s memory. Funds contributed are used
to endow scholarships in Chief Downey’s name and will provide financial assistance to the Hofstra
University wrestling program. Chief Downey’s sons, Joseph, Chuck and Ray Jr., were successful athletes
at Deer Park High School, and earned bachelor’s degrees from respected universities through athletic
scholarship opportunities. Recipients of these funds will demonstrate the integrity, work ethic, discipline
and courage that Deputy Chief Raymond Downey exemplified throughout his life. The 2006 recipients
of the Ray Downey Scholarship Award are seniors Mike Patrovich, from Islip, New York, and James
Strouse, from Levittown, New York.
The Ray Downey Sr. Memorial Scholarship Fund Night, which is scheduled for Wednesday, November
15 against Army, is a unique opportunity to honor Chief Downey’s memory as well as to support studentathletes. For more information on the Ray Downey Sr. Scholarship and Wrestling Fund, please visit www.
