he first full-time Athletic Director in Stevenson’s history, Adams arrived at the start of the 1994-95 academic year - the same time that the Mustangs moved to the NCAA Division III. That year, Adams oversaw an 11-sport department and quickly committed the Athletic Department to growth in order to provide students with the opportunity to compete. Since then, Stevenson has added 16 more sports and now boasts 27 NCAA intercollegiate sports with men’s ice hockey and women’s beach volleyball being the latest. This has resulted in 33 NCAA Tournament berths, resulting in five Final Fours and a National Championship. Adams has also been instrumental in the Mustangs’ move from the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC) for men’s lacrosse and North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) to its membership in the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) and its current membership in the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC). Adams played a major role in launching the NEAC, serving as the first chair of the Athletic Directors’ Committee and as the Executive Committee’s chair from 2004-06. In its three years in the NEAC, Stevenson won the conference’s President’s Cup all three seasons. Following the 2006-07 academic year, Stevenson moved to the highly competitive CAC. In July 2012, the Mustangs moved to the MAC for 21 of its 23 NCAA Division III sports as a member of the Commonwealth Conference, which was newly named the MAC Commonwealth in 2015. Adams’ career in intercollegiate athletics began shortly after his graduation from York (Pa.) in 1989. He was a three-year member of the Spartan men’s basketball program, serving as co-captain during the 1989-90 season. Following his graduation, he remained at his alma mater as an assistant coach from 1989-94. In addition to coaching basketball, Adams also took on the position of head women’s tennis coach, receiving CAC Coach of the Year honors in 1994. In addition to his responsibilities as athletics director at Stevenson, Adams served as the head men’s basketball coach from 1994-2011, guiding the Mustangs to two consecutive NCAA Tournaments in 2005-06 and 2006-07. Adams also was president of the Maryland Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. Adams and his wife, Linda, a 1981 Stevenson graduate, live in Timonium and have a daughter, Emma Rose, a senior at Stevenson and a member of the field hockey team.

FEATURE STORY

BY STEVE JONES, Special Correspondent

RYAN NOWICKI’S RETURN TO STEVENSON PROVIDES BOOST TO MUSTANGS When he first came to Stevenson in 2015, Ryan Nowicki was looking forward to being a collegiate studentathlete. Nowicki was coming to a school that had a strong program in his chosen major of Accounting, and had the opportunity to play college football for a team that was coming off its first postseason appearance. But the native of Hatfield, Pa. didn’t get to play for the Mustangs right away. A back injury sustained while weightlifting prior to his freshman year at Stevenson interrupted Nowicki’s football career. “I played through the first two weeks of camp, and I just couldn’t take it anymore,” Nowicki said. “The trainers told me that I shouldn’t be playing football right then. I went to see a doctor after the MRI came back, and he told me that I prob-

ably shouldn’t be playing football forever.” Nowicki completed his 2015-16 freshman year at Stevenson, and then returned home. He enrolled at Temple University, a much larger school that was closer to his hometown, and consulted another doctor in the Lehigh Valley about his back. “He told me that he saw this kind of injury all the time from kids who (return to) play football,” said Nowicki, a graduate of North Penn High School. “At that time, it had been over a year, and I was getting tired of it. We ended up going with the back surgery (in March 2017), and then I came back to Stevenson.” Nowicki admitted that the family atmosphere, the appeal of a smaller school, and the friendships that he formed in his freshman year were the main factors in his transfer from Temple to Stevenson. The 6-foot-1, 250-pound center was cleared to resume his football career.

“His decision to leave was healthrelated,” said Stevenson head coach Ed Hottle, now in his ninth year at the helm. “But I think the temptation of football was too much for him. He came back (to Stevenson), and we asked him if he wanted to play. He agreed to give it a shot.” When Nowicki returned to the Mustangs for the 2017 season, he was a reserve offensive lineman. But it didn’t take long for him to claim a starting spot. Nowicki started at center in the second game of the season, a 38-9 win over visiting King’s (Pa.), and has been the anchor of the offensive line ever since. “I think he practiced five times (in 2017), and then started a game,” Hottle recalled. “Whenever you get back into playing after a layoff, there are some challenges. His back was a little sore, and we limited his reps. But he was functioning at a pretty high level for a guy who had back surgery. It made sense for us to move him in there, and he


2 0 1 9 ST E VE N SO N F O O T BAL L

made us significantly better.” The player who once thought his collegiate football career was over will make his 27th consecutive start in today’s Homecoming matchup against Albright. Nowicki is thankful for the help that the Stevenson trio of head athletic trainer Kira Olds, assistant athletic trainer Eva Martinez, and assistant strength and conditioning coach Tony Pedrotti have provided to keep him healthy throughout his long stretch of consecutive games. “I definitely spend a lot of time with Kira and Eva in the training room,” Nowicki said. “Working out with coach Pedrotti has definitely helped my game, because if you’re bigger, faster, and stronger than everybody else, you will have a bigger influence (on the field).” Nowicki had his finest campaign in 2018, earning All-Middle Atlantic Conference second team honors from the league’s coaches. Nowicki’s superior run and pass blocking skills, and his ability to lead a veteran offensive line, have impressed his head coach. “I think that he’s probably the best center in the East Region,” Hottle said. “Ryan understands football, and he puts us in the right protections and the right schemes on every play. His preparation and his willingness to watch film makes him

the voice that you have to listen to. Guys will listen to him, and follow him.” The leadership qualities and dedication to his schoolwork that Nowicki has displayed should serve him well in his post-college life. During his college years, he has worked part-time with two Baltimore-area businesses, Cohen & Company and Stout Causey and Horning. Following his December graduation from Stevenson, Nowicki will begin working full-time in January in the information systems auditing field at the Sparks, Md. location of Stout Causey and Horning. During his three-year Stevenson football career, Nowicki has passblocked for the program’s all-time leading passer, now-graduated quarterback Dan Williams. He has helped create holes for a cadre of talented running backs. But what Nowicki will miss the most are the times that he has spent with his fel-

low offensive linemen. “We spend a lot of time in the film room, and we meet for at least an hour a day,” Nowicki said. “We’re really good friends off the field, and we’ve established a tradition where we go out to eat one night a week before each game, on a Thursday or Friday, which really helps build the camaraderie between us.” Although his football days are nearing an end, Nowicki has left a lasting impression on his teammates and head coach. “There’s a certain joy to his game,” Hottle said. “Ryan loves to play football, and he’s really good at it. I don’t think he likes the spotlight, but he’s the first offensive lineman down the field when we score on a big play. He’s unselfish, and he understands that (his teammates’) successes have become his successes.”

During his tenure, he has overseen the growth from 11 sports in 1994-95 to the current 27 offered today, in addition to vast club and intramural options for students. As men’s basketball coach, Adams guided the Mustangs to 138 wins, including back-to-back NCAA appearances in 2006 and 2007. He also has served as head tennis coach. Bevacqua was a member of the Mustangs from 2007-09 and earned Second Team All-America honors as a senior after recording 31 goals and eight assists for 39 points, 24 ground balls and 16 caused turnovers. A two-time All-Capital Athletic Conference team member, Bevacqua totaled 70 goals and 27 assists in three years, and also compiled 50 ground balls and 31 caused turnovers. He competed in the 2009 North-South All-Star Game. Cohen was a four-time team MVP of the men’s tennis team and totaled 39 singles wins and 36 doubles victories from 200307.

Woodford was a two-year member of the women’s lacrosse program, earning CAC First Team and IWLCA All-Region accolades in each of her two seasons. She wrapped up her career with 44 caused turnovers, including 31 in 2008, a mark that is third-best in a single season in the program record book. She also finished her career with 65 ground balls. The 2009 men’s lacrosse team finished 17-2 and reached the NCAA semifinals for the first time in program history, starting a run of reaching at least the semifinals four times in a five-year span. The Mustangs finished the regular season 13-0 and were ranked No. 1 in the country for the first time. After falling to Salisbury in the Capital Athletic Conference title game, Stevenson avenged that loss in the NCAA quarterfinals before falling to Gettysburg in the semifinals. The Mustangs had six All-America selections, the most of any team, and junior Steve Kazimer was the Division III Attackman of the Year. Three seniors competed in the North-South Game, with Greg Furshman named MVP.

Each team room is equipped with their own restroom and shower facilities, LCD televisions with cable, built-in stereos, scoreboard clocks and Internet access.

In its first year, the stadium hosted the Baltimore Ravens, the Ed Reed Football Camp and the Baltimore Touchdown Club Senior All-Star Game. “Tremendous facility,” said Baltimore Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh. “This stadium is really, really special. I know the indoor, what they have is really neat. They’ve just done a great job with their athletic facilities.” The Ravens occupied the facility from 1996-2004 upon their arrival from Cleveland. The complex was originally built by the Baltimore Colts in 1979 and served as their base of operations until 1983. After the Ravens’ moved down the road to “The Castle,” the complex was purchased by Stevenson University in 2006 for use by the school’s growing athletics department.

THE BUBBLE

CAVES CONSTRUCTION The site of Stevenson’s Caves Athletics Complex and Mustang Stadium in Owings Mills was originally occupied in 1980 by the then-Baltimore Colts, who won the NFL title in 1958 and captured Super Bowl V over Dallas 13 years later. After the Colts left town, the facility was used by the Baltimore Stallions, who became the only U.S.-based team to win the Canadian Football League (CFL) title with a 37-20 win over the Calgary Stampede in the 1995 Grey Cup.

The Stallions headed to Montreal after Art Modell, then the owner of the Cleveland Browns, announced plans to move his team to Baltimore in time for the 1996 season. The winning tradition continued as the Ravens beat the Giants 34-7 in 2001 in Super Bowl XXXV. Bill Tessendorf, the former Ravens’ trainer who was one of 17 Browns employees who made the move to Baltimore, helped adapt what had been used by the Colts and Stallions for use by the Ravens. “When the franchise relocated to Baltimore one of the things that was offered to the franchise, besides a new stadium, was a practice facility that had belonged to the Colts,” Tessendorf said. “Even though the Colts had not been there for nine years it was appealing to us. As part of franchise relocation, one of my jobs was to convert that place from a police academy for the city of Baltimore to a workable NFL facility we could use.”

One of the best facilities in Division III, Mustang Stadium was opened in September 2011 and serves as the home for the University’s football, men’s and women’s soccer, field hockey and nationally-ranked men’s and women’s lacrosse teams. The multi-million dollar, 3,500-seat stadium was designed by Curry Architects of Towson and built by Howard S. Brown Enterprises. “Give credit to the administration: When these facilities opened up they got the facilities and were able to expand their campus,” Tessendorf said. “I remember meeting the president (Kevin Manning) and athletic director (Brett Adams) a few years ago as they came walking through to see the facilities. Then a few years later they had a football team and a stadium. Kudos to the administration; they were able to take the existing buildings and construct new ones.” “Tremendous facility,” said Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. “This stadium is really, really special,” Harbaugh said. “I know the indoor, what they have is really neat. They’ve just done a great job with their athletic facilities.”

FIRST GAME GUESTS

“When (Stevenson) took over, its athletic teams were able to use those facilities,” said Bill Tessendorf, the former Ravens’ trainer who moved with the team from Cleveland. “They adjusted to what they needed. They have more athletes than an NFL team and they had to adjust the locker rooms. But they had the basics. They were able to tailor the facilities.” “It is kind of cool,” Hottle said of the connections to the Ravens. “We talk about it in recruiting. Kids think they may have a locker that was used by Ray Lewis or Jonathan Ogden. It is a big part of recruiting.” Hottle is optimistic that the ties for Stevenson to the Colts, Stallions and Ravens will mean a fourth winner on the field in the years to come.

The Mustangs celebrated their first home game in the program’s history with the help of some of Baltimore’s greatest players. On Sept. 10, 2011, 11-time Pro Bowler and 2013 Hall of Fame Inductee Jonathan Ogden, as well as former Raven O.J. Brigance and former Colt Tom Matte delivered the game ball. Stevenson would go on to win its first game, 46-43 in double overtime. “This is just a great night for football and it’s a beautiful campus,” Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said. “The stadium is beautiful. Everyone here at Stevenson University has just been fantastic, all the way through. A lot of great people and we love them over here.” “We love working with the staff here and this is such a wonderful environment,” said Ravens Vice President of Marketing Gabrielle Dow.

RAY LEWIS The Super Bowl XLVII champion Ravens have held an open practice at Stevenson in 2012 and 2013. One of the highlights from 2012 came before the start of practice when 13-time Pro Bowler and two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Ray Lewis posed for a picture with Stevenson President Dr. Kevin Manning in front of what were the original lockers used by the Ravens when they were headquartered at the school’s Owings Mills campus from 1996-2004. Both of the Ravens’ Super Bowl championships in 2001 and 2013 came the same year when the team practiced on the ground that is now Mustang Stadium. In other words, the Ravens have not won a Super Bowl without starting a season on the Hallowed Ground that now is home to Stevenson athletics. “It means a great deal to Stevenson to have a relationship with one of the best organizations in the NFL,” said Director of Athletics Brett Adams.

JOHN HARBAUGH Ravens head coach John Harbaugh spoke to Stevenson’s nationally-ranked men’s lacrosse team in May 2013, giving the Mustangs a pep talk before the team headed off to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia where the team would go on to win the school’s first national championship. Just nine months later, Harbaugh led the Ravens to their second Super Bowl title with a 34-31 victory over his brother Jim and the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII at the Superdome in New Orleans. It was also the final game in Ray Lewis’ brilliant 17-year career.
