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
STEVENSON TO HONOR DEEP, SUCCESSFUL SENIOR CLASS For all of their success during the last four years, the stellar group of Stevenson football seniors who will be making their final regular-season appearance at Mustang Stadium today aren’t talking only about the 30-12 record, the 2016 Middle Atlantic Conference championship and subsequent NCAA Division III Tournament berth, and four consecutive postseason appearances that they have made possible. Chaz Lyles will miss the long bus rides. His teammate, Izaiha Pitts, will miss the everyday interaction of the locker room. “The brotherhood that we built in there is something that we will never find again,” Pitts said. “The locker room is a sacred place.” The 18 seniors who will be honored today when Stevenson hosts Middle Atlantic Conference opponent
Lycoming are one of the deepest and most productive groups in the nine-year history of the program. The group includes Lyles, one of the leading receivers to ever play at Stevenson; two of the most productive defensive players in school history in Pitts and linebacker Hanif Jones; and all-conference offensive linemen Connor Davis and Ryan Nowicki. But today’s matchup, and the Centennial-MAC Bowl Series contest that Stevenson will host on November 23, will be the last games on their home turf for wide receivers Lyles, Keenan Franz, and Vincent Lee, offensive linemen Davis, Nowicki, Manny Essien, Dominic Griffo, and Tyre Maull, running back Josh Ofori, linebackers Pitts, Jones, Isaac Boyd, Tyler Burton, and Ryan Schoppert, defensive backs Kobe Bolanos and Gradi Tshilombo, and defensive linemen Chikwado Nsoedo and Austin Raines. Although their football-playing days are nearing an end, their impact on the Stevenson program will be felt for years to come. “This has been a transformative group,” said Ed Hottle, the only head coach in the history of the Stevenson program. “They were the first group of recruits to come in after our first successful seasons (in 2014 and 2015). They came in to
a program with a higher standard.” The large senior class had various reasons for coming to Stevenson, but the chance to play for a program that was experiencing success on a regular basis was a motivating factor for many of the players. “The winning attracted me to Stevenson,” Davis said. “I wanted a ring in high school, and I didn’t get one. I knew that coming here, I’d have that opportunity, and we got one my freshman year.” Unlike the players that Hottle and his staff recruited during the beginning days of the program, the current senior class didn’t get on the field right away. Hottle praised the group for their patience. “Many of these guys had to wait for their chance,” Hottle said. “This is the first class that had a chance to develop. They had an opportunity to get bigger, faster, and stronger before we threw them into a game situation.” Lyles and Franz are prime examples of talented players that had to wait their turn behind more experienced players. Lyles caught just seven passes in his sophomore season, but has 127 receptions and 16 touchdowns during the last two years. Franz, who transferred to Stevenson from FCS program

Valparaiso, caught five passes in his junior year but has 50 catches and nine scores in his senior season. “It’s the work ethic, just being able to put your head down and grind for what you really want,” said Lyles, who is third on the program’s all-time receptions list. “I learned to work for what you believe in, and never let anybody tell you that you can’t.” The senior class came in at a special time. During their freshmen year, Stevenson went 9-2, won the Middle Atlantic Conference championship, and made the program’s first appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament. The 2017 season didn’t equal the previous success. The Mustangs reached the postseason for a fourth straight year, making an appearance in the ECAC Bowl. But the final record of 6-5 didn’t sit well with the current seniors. “What rubbed them the wrong way was that it (the 2017 season) wasn’t their time to lead,” Hottle recalled. “The following year, we started spring practice in February because they were so ready to make a change in the culture. They wanted to transform the program for longterm success, and they’ve done a remarkable job of that.” With this year’s senior class moving into positions of team leadership, the Mustangs rebounded strongly during the 2018 season. Despite losing standout senior quarterback Dan Williams to a season-ending injury midway through the campaign, Stevenson finished with an 8-3 mark and earned a Centennial-MAC Bowl Series berth. “This program has standards and expectations,” Raines said. “We try to grow off of those expectations every year.”

The success has continued in 2019. After losing two of its first three starts, Stevenson has won six straight games and clinched second place in the conference behind league champion Delaware Valley. A seventh consecutive victory in today’s game would leave the Mustangs just one win shy of the program’s single-season record, set by the 2016 squad.
no way that one man can run the whole show. In this sport, everybody has to count on each other, and the guys who are probably the most important often get the least amount of attention, like the linemen.”
Nowicki can see the growth and maturity that has been critical to the seniors’ development during the journey from freshman year to final season.
“They think beyond themselves,” Hottle said. “This group thinks about what they do today, and the effect it will have on the program. They’ve welcomed the freshmen class in, they’ve mentored them, and they have set the example. The first thing they’ve done is make sure that (the freshmen) can make it through the tough times.”
“You become a student of the game, and you understand different things that you didn’t necessarily understand when you were a freshman,” Nowicki said. “As a person, you learn to take responsibility for a lot more things as you get older.” The past four years have also given the seniors an appreciation of the uniqueness of the sport that they play. “You insert LeBron James into the Cleveland Cavaliers’ lineup, and they’re instantly a (NBA) Finals team,” Franz said. “In tennis, golf, and track, it’s about one person. In baseball, a pitcher can control the game. But in football, there’s really
Hottle has been impressed by the selflessness of this senior class, and their global view of the program.
Their desire to look out for others has improved the lives of each senior, and given them special memories of their time spent on and off the field. “The past four years have been the best years of my life,” said Pitts, whose younger brother Saadiq is a freshman running back at Stevenson. “I’m very appreciative of my teammates, and I love them all. This program has helped me become a better brother, and a better guy in general.”

MUSTANG SPORTS FEATURE
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL BLENDS VETERANS, NEWCOMERS IN 2019-20 The Stevenson University women’s basketball team has at least one thing this season that it didn’t have last winter, and that’s depth. The Mustangs enter the season with 20 players, including a total of 12 newcomers. As head coach Jackie Boswell enters her ninth season, she’s excited about what she’s seen so far. “We’re really excited about having depth, and we’re excited about some of the things we see from our younger players. Depth is always going to make a coaching staff feel more comfortable,” said Boswell. “It comes down to on-the-court chemistry and being able to play with each other and understand where we can go on the court and get scoring from depending on the personnel that’s out there.” What the Mustangs do return though, brings a lot of experience to the lineup. All eight returners averaged at least eight minutes a game in 2018-19, and Stevenson returns nearly 77% of its scoring output from a season ago. The roster features a pair of seniors in guards Hannah Crist and Savana Herndon. Crist was a MAC Commonwealth Honorable Mention All-Conference selection after averaging 12.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game, while Herndon played in all 27 games, averaging just over eight minutes per contest. “You can never replace senior leadership,” said Boswell. “Hannah’s been a starter since her freshman year and has gotten better every year. She’s improved something about her game every season.” “Savana has really had to bide her time over her first couple years, and got some more minutes last year. She brings that experience that you just can’t have as a freshman. Savana’s done a good job in our two scrimmages.” Stevenson also welcomes back five juniors in post players Olivia Coleman and Laila Abdul-Rahman and guards Denia Campbell, Brandi Hall and Alexa Sanmartin. Coleman averaged 9.8 points and 9.1 rebounds per game and also blocked a team-high 57 shots. She ranked second in the MAC Commonwealth in blocked shots and seventh in rebounding. Abdul-Rahman appeared in all 27 games and made a pair of starts last season. “Olivia is really going to be the key to this year as far as her inside presence. Our hope is that she can really take control of the conference and for us to be able to rely on her as much as we may have relied on
Jonyae last year to come up with a basket,” said Boswell. “Laila got a lot of minutes last year. She’s looked pretty good in our scrimmages, and she’ll be able to complement Olivia and our other post players.” Campbell missed the final four games last season and is still working her way back but averaged 11.6 points per game last season. Hall averaged 8.0 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, while Sanmartin added 4.9 points per contest and was tied with Campbell for second on the team with 20 three-pointers. “Denia we hope to get back in a couple of weeks, but we can’t rush her back. We are a little bit less experienced at the guard spot without her, but we need her at the end of the season,” said Boswell. “Brandi’s a competitor, so she’s going to want to get out there and do as much as she can. She wants to win and do as much as she can to help the team win.” “Alexa had a great season last year as fas as being able to come off the bench and hit some shots. She’s a great shooter and I know she’s worked hard this summer to get into really good shape and be quicker. We need her to be able to defend on the perimeter.” Stevenson also returns sophomore Kellie Johnson, who averaged 4.1 points and 5.7 rebounds as a freshman and made eight starts while playing in every game. “Kellie got thrown into the fire as a freshman,” said Boswell. “She’s got to come in and use the experience that she got last year to try to bring a little bit more. We
won’t allow her to play that freshman role, we need some production from her as well.” With such a large group of newcomers, getting them up to speed quickly can be a challenge. Boswell and her coaching staff have been pleased with the way they have come in, and how the veterans have helped in that transition. “We’re really working hard right now. We are very young, so there’s a lot of teaching, there’s a learning curve going into this preseason. Everybody is trying to come up to speed pretty quickly. Our returning kids are doing a great job of leading and trying to get everyone up to speed,” said Boswell. Stevenson has made six straight postseason appearances, including a MAC Commonwealth title and NCAA appearance in 2015 and an ECAC South title in 2016. Last season, the Mustangs reached the ECAC quarterfinals, and while continuing to reach the postseason is the goal, Boswell is looking for more from this group. “We’ve been pretty consistent over the last five or six years about making postseason, but one of the things we’ve talked about is that that’s just not good enough anymore,” said Boswell. “We’ve got to get back to making an impact in the postseason.” Stevenson opens its 2019-20 season Tuesday night at future MAC Commonwealth foe York, while its home opener is set for Sunday, December 1 against D3hoops.com preseason No. 15 Christopher Newport.

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.
