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
WORK ETHIC, ADAPTABILITY ARE HALLMARKS FOR CHAZ LYLES Chaz Lyles never takes a play off. But Lyles isn’t just a workhorse on game day. His work ethic and everyday devotion to getting better carry over to practice as well, and explain why Lyles has become one of the most prolific receivers in Stevenson’s nine-year football history. During his Stevenson career, the native of Washington, D.C. has caught 111 passes for 1,271 yards. Both totals are good for fourth place among all-time Mustang receivers. “I truly believe that going 100 percent all the time makes you that much better,” said Lyles, a senior wide receiver. “I’ve been taught never to give up. If you believe in something, you should go after it with everything you have.”
While Lyles worked hard from his first day at Stevenson, he had to wait for his opportunity. Lyles’ playing time was limited during his initial 2016 season, with veteran wide receivers Devin Salisbury, Preston Addo, Dequan Ellison, and Sebastien Vainqueur getting the bulk of the playing time. He caught just seven passes that season, but the lessons that he learned from Stevenson’s older receivers accelerated his transition from promise to production. “The leadership that Devin gave me was amazing,” Lyles recalled. “In my freshman year, Devin took time out of his day to sit down and help me with the plays. Dequan taught me grit, and a love for the game. Sebastien taught me patience, and making the most of an opportunity when you get it. Preston was a really good receiver, and I took some of his moves.” The 5-foot-10, 190-pound wide receiver showed the positive results of those lessons during the 2018 season, when he led the Mustangs with 65 catches, 672 yards, and six receiving touchdowns. Lyles was also a contributor to the Mustang ground game, gaining 65 yards on
19 carries and scoring two touchdowns, as Stevenson finished with an 8-3 mark and earned the program’s fifth consecutive postseason berth. Lyles, who earned second-team All-Middle Atlantic Conference honors in 2018, took his game to a new level during a 33-21 Homecoming victory over Wilkes. He caught a career-high 11 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown, rushed for another score, and threw a pair of scoring passes. “I think it’s the single most prolific offensive day I’ve seen,” said Ed Hottle, now in his ninth season as Stevenson’s head coach. “We’ve given three game balls out here in nine years. We gave Chaz a game ball for that one because we thought it was such an extraordinary performance, and it was born out of the tremendous work ethic and preparation that he exhibits every day. ” Lyles has continued to produce in his senior season. The graduate of Bishop McNamara High School leads the Mustangs with 39 receptions, 567 receiving yards, and five touchdown catches. During

Stevenson’s 55-7 Homecoming win over Albright on Oct. 19, Lyles totaled five catches for 122 yards and two touchdowns. Entering today’s Middle Atlantic Conference matchup against King’s (Pa.), Lyles ranks among the league leaders in receptions (tied for second) and receiving yards (third). “He’s been able to elevate his game through relentless work,” Hottle said. “I consider Chaz to be one of the hardest workers in the program, and the byproduct of his work ethic has rubbed off on his position group, our younger players, and throughout the entire team. Every rep is 1,000 miles an hour, and detail-oriented. I’ve tried to give him days off, because we don’t want to wear him out. We need him to be a 65-snap guy (on game day).” Lyles comes from a football family, and his desire to succeed starts at home. His father, Victor, played at Morgan State University in the early 1980’s. Lyles’ younger brother, Dominic, played at DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Md. and is now a starting wide receiver at Bucknell University. “Football gave me a brotherhood that you build with your teammates and coaches, and that really affected me,” said Lyles, who didn’t begin playing football until his freshman year of high school. “That was my big motivation (to play), besides my family.” Hottle, whose father and brother also played football, understands the importance of the family dynamic in making Lyles a better player.
“It factors in a great deal,” Hottle said. “It’s about the work ethic and the commitment to being the best player he can be. There’s a personal motivation there, but also the competition at home which is driving him to some degree.” Lyles isn’t Stevenson’s only outside threat. Seniors Keenan Franz (35 catches, 15.4-yard average, five touchdowns) and Vincent Lee (18 receptions, 13.6-yard average, two scores) have also been key contributors to the Mustangs’ passing offense. The receiving trio has put up consistent numbers despite having to adjust to three different starting quarterbacks since the beginning of the 2018 season in Dan Williams, Ty Crabb, and Ryan Sedgwick. “They’re all great players, and that’s helped me out,” said Lyles about the three quarterbacks. “I’ve had to adjust to their different techniques, and how they throw. We’ve put in after-practice work on timing, and once you get that down it’s not a challenge.” Lyles is about to go through another transition. The Information

Systems major will graduate from Stevenson in May 2020, and while he would like to continue playing football, Lyles’ main post-graduate goal is to make a lasting impact. “If the (football) opportunity presents itself, I would take the chance,” Lyles said. “But right now, I’m trying to focus on my career. I’m figuring out what my passion is and what I really want to do. In my career, I really want to find a way to help other people, benefit as many lives as possible, and have a positive impact on this world.” Hottle pointed out that Lyles’ willingness to listen and steady demeanor will be instrumental in his future direction. “Chaz is going to be successful in whatever he chooses to do,” Hottle said. “He allows himself to be exposed to differing opinions, in order to formulate his own path. I don’t ever think I’ve ever seen him upset or angry. He has the ability to control his emotions and be incredibly even-keeled, and that’s something that will serve him well professionally.”

The stadium includes 204 reserved seats and general admission seating for over 3,000 fans while the field boasts a synthetic, environmentally responsible, ecofriendly FieldTurf surface and state-of-theart scoreboard with programmable team names, statistical displays and penalty time. 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.”

“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.
