On November 30, 2006 it was announced that The Catholic University of America, Drew University, Goucher College, Juniata College, Moravian College, Susquehanna University and The United States Merchant Marine Academy had formed a soon-to-be-named Division III conference, with The University of Scranton becoming the eighth member in November 2006.
The conference's eight institutions are located throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, stretching from King's Point, N.Y. in the north to Washington, D.C. in the south. The geographic diversity creates even greater opportunity for growth for .7 the Landmark's student-athletes. When the conference . 53 began competition in the Fall of 2007, it marked a new . 54 chapter in the history of each of the eight institutions as the . 48 programs grow together in their unique athletic and aca. 31-45 demic enterprise.

HEAD COACH CARL DANZIG
Carl Danzig took over a University of Scranton men's basketball program steeped in tradition in 2001. In ten seasons, he's continued the work of his predecessors. His overall record of 179-85 (.663) includes five NCAA tournament appearances (2003, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2011), three Landmark (2008, 2009, 2011) and two Freedom Conference (2003, 2006) titles, and five 20-or-more win seasons (2003, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2011). His 2003 team also advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament, while a 21-win season in 2006 earned him the Freedom Conference co-Coach of the Year award. Individually, twelve of his players have earned all-Freedom/Landmark Conference honors, including Derek Elphick, the 2003 player of the year; Brian O’Donnell, the 2002 rookie of the year; and Zach Ashworth, the 2010 and 2011 player of the year. This past season, Ashworth become the first player under Danzig's tutelage to earn all-America honors by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Ashworth (2009, 2010, 2011) and Randy Arnold (2006) have also been named all-Mid-Atlantic region by the NABC, while Elphick, O'Donnell, Ashworth, Tom Bicknell and Eli Londo have earned all-regional honors by D3hoops.com Records and accomplishments, however, don't always tell the whole story. Hard hit by graduation following 2003’s 24-win season, Scranton suffered through a 5-20 campaign. Yet, Danzig continued to work hard, and his diligence paid off when the Royals won 20 games, a 14-game turnaround the following season. He built upon that progress by leading the Scranton to 21 wins in 2006 and 2009

and 19 victories in 2007 and 2008, including back-to-back Landmark Conference championships in 2008 and 2009 and another conference title in 2011.

Danzig’s ascension to his first head coaching job mirrored that of many in his profession. He worked his way up through the ranks by starting as a graduate assistant with the men's basketball program at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where he earned a Master of Arts degree in education before landing as an assistant at Bucknell University.
Freedom Tournament Berths (5) 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007
During his 11-year tenure, the Bison posted an overall record of 180-135 (.571) under head coaches Charlie Woollum and Pat Flannery, including seven winning seasons and 20-ormore wins twice (21 in 1992 and 23 in 1993). Bucknell also advanced to the Patriot League championship game four times during Danzig's tenure, losing to Fordham, 70-65, in 1992; Holy Cross, 98-73, in 1993; Navy, 76-75, in 1997; and Lafayette, 67-63, in 1999. His major duties were recruiting, scheduling, scouting and film exchange. He also assisted in the coordination of the Bison summer camp program, community service projects and alumni activities and fund-raising efforts. While an undergraduate at Baker University in Kansas, he was a twoyear captain on the men's basketball team and finished his career as the second all-time leading scorer in Wildcat history with 1,732 points. A three-time all-Heart of America Conference selection and a first team all-district pick in 1987, he led the team in scoring and rebounding three times. He was also a four-year letterman on the men's golf team. A native of Overland Park, Kansas, Carl and his wife, Lynette, a certified public accountant, are the parents of three sons: Ross, Ethan and Jackson. The family resides in Clarks Green, Pennsylvania.

ASSISTANT COACHES Lewiston, New York native Joseph Mihalich is the newest addition to the Royal coaching staff. He spent the past two seasons as a graduate assistant with the men’s basketball program at Villanova University, working directly with the Wildcats’ director of basketball operations, organizing and overseeing team and summer camps, and helping out with academics, scouting and recruiting. During his tenure, Villanova posted a 46-20 record, including two NCAA tournament appearances, under head coach Jay Wright. Mihalich has also worked numerous summer camps at Villanova (2007, 2008), Notre Dame (2006-2008), for Michigan head coach John Beilen (2006, 2008), Nazareth College (2006, 2007) and Niagara University (2005-2008).
SCRANTON BASKETBALL 2011-2012 New Orleans native Greg Griffith will begin as second season as a volunteer assistant coach. He graduated from Tampa Catholic High School in Tampa, Florida, where he lettered in basketball, football, and track and field, and attended Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, where he played one season of intercollegiate basketball. For seven years, he served as head coach of Sumerfield, an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) team for boys under the age of 14 in Florida. Greg married to Tashika Smith, director of multicultural affairs here at the university, last November. The couple resides in Wilkes-Barre.
Mihalich holds a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in mathematics, cum laude, from Nazareth College in Rochester, New York, and a Master of Education degree from Villanova. He was a four-year letterman on the basketball team at Nazareth. In his junior year, the Golden Flyers won the Empire 8 Conference championship, advanced to the NCAA Division III championships, and capped off the season with a 20-8 record under then head coach Mike Daley. Mihalich was twice named the team’s Hustle, Heart and Harmony award recipient, received Nazareth’s Emily Haskins Inspirational Athlete award as a senior, and was named to the Empire 8 President’s List for academic achievement in 2007. He also served as a studentathlete mentor. Joe, the son of Niagara University head men's basketball coach Joe Mihalich, resides in Scranton.

SEASON OUTLOOK A change has certainly done The University of Scranton men's basketball program good. The Royals ended their long-time affiliation with the Middle Atlantic Conference in 2007 and joined the newly-formed Landmark Conference. And in four seasons, Scranton has won three league titles (2008, 2009, 2011), finished runnerup on the other occasion (2010), and advanced to the NCAA Division III championships three times (2008, 2009, 2011). Scranton is also 78-31 (.716) during this span, including a 42-14 mark (.750) in the conference. In looking ahead to the 2012 season, veteran head coach Carl Danzig faces quite a challenge, needing to replace one of the conference's most dominating players who was instrumental in the program’s aforementioned success. That player is Zach Ashworth, a two-time Landmark Conference Player of the Year (2010, 2011) and 2011 secondteam all-American by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). Not only will the Royals miss his 20.8 per game scoring average, but his remarkable ability to deliver much-needed leadership in clutch situations. A prime example was his performance in the 2011 Landmark Conference championship game, where he scored 24 of his career-high tying 31 points in the second half as the Royals broke away from a two-point halftime lead en route to an 82-71 victory over Catholic University. Whereas Danzig will surely miss Ashworth, he does have plenty of other weapons returning that should keep the Royals in the hunt for another Landmark crown. First, there's senior guard Luke Hawk (Audubon, Pa./Methacton), who complimented Ashworth well by averaging nearly 16 points and 5.5 rebounds and who shot a teamleading 57 percent from the field to earn first-team all-conference honors a year ago. His ability to post-up opposing team's guards down low made Scranton's inside-outside game nearly unstoppable. Then there's junior Travis Farrell (Middletown, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy), who has developed into one of the top all-around guards in the conference. He earned second-team all-league honors after leading the Royals in rebounding (6.1) and steals (2.3) last season. He also shot over 48 percent from the field, including 40 percent from beyond the 3-point arc, en route to averaging nearly 12 points per game. Joining him as returning starters are senior forward Matt Swaback (Kingston, Pa./Wyoming Seminary) and sophomore guard/forward Tommy Morgan (Greenlawn, Pa./Chaminade). At 6-8, Swaback puts additional pressure on most opponents with his ability to stretch defenses by knocking down perimeter jump shots. He connected on 37 percent of his attempts from beyond the 3-point arc and averaged nearly 10 points per game, but he will be asked to pick up his rebounding output this year. Morgan had a solid freshman season cut short by a season-ending injury against Susquehanna University on February 11, but he still managed to start 17 of 21 games and average a steady 6.2 points and 3.5 rebounds.
SCRANTON BASKETBALL 2011-2012 Three other players—senior guard Dan Hilferty (Ardmore, Pa./Episcopal Academy), junior guard Tim Lavelle (Clarks Green, Pa./Scranton Preparatory), and senior forward Edmond O’Connell (Somers, N.Y./Kennedy Catholic)—also saw considerable action as key reserves. Hilferty is a traditional point-guard who has plenty of game experience and is comfortable running the offense, while Lavelle’s late-season exploits added another dimension to the offense last season. He scored in double figures in his last three games, including 11 points in Scranton’s win over Catholic in the Landmark title game. O’Connell, a twoyear letterman, provides much-needed bulk inside and should take some of the rebounding pressure off Swaback. Other veterans battling for playing time include senior forward Nick Jaskula (Jenkintown, Pa./Jenkintown), and sophomore guards Michael Barr (North Wales, Pa./Lansdale Catholic) and Michael Marchman (Blauvelt, N.Y./St. Joseph Regional). Danzig’s recruiting class got off on the right foot when he convinced his eldest son Ross (Clarks Green, Pa.) to stay close to home. It got even better when Ross's teammate at Blair Academy (NJ), forward Mark Bevacqua (Lenoxville, Pa.), decided to join him. Prior to his stint at Blair Academy, Bevacqua dominated the local high school scene, earning Player of the Year honors twice by the Scranton Times-Tribune. After a highly successful career at Abington Heights High School, the younger Danzig averaged 13 points and five rebounds per game at Blair Academy against top-notch prep competition last year. He has the talent and ability to challenge immediately for starting spot in the lineup. Ross’s teammate from Abington Heights, guard Justin Klingman (Clarks Summit), will challenge for playing time at point-guard. Rounding out the newcomers is Michael Fee (Richboro, Pa.), a 6-2 guard from St. Joseph’s Preparatory School in the Philadelphia area; Kyle Ranck (Lewisburg, Pa./Lewisburg), a 6-5 transfer from Ithaca College; and 6-5 sophomore forward Jack McKenna (Netcong, NJ/Lenape Valley). The Royals’ non-conference schedule should once again toughen them up for the conference play, along with an opportunity to face a Division I opponent when they unofficially open the season with an exhibition (non-counting) game against St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia on November 14. Scranton will meet two NCAA tournament teams on the road—Ramapo (20-7) on November 28th and Cabrini (24-6) on December 17—and will play five other nonconference teams that posted winning records last year, including renewing its rivalry with former Middle Atlantic Conference foes King’s College (15-10) and Wilkes University (15-10) in the first cross-county challenge to be held at nearby Marywood University in early January. The Royals will also host Centenary, SUNY-Maritime and New Paltz in the annual season-opening Radisson Invitational and will take on North Central (Ill.) and Westfield State (Mass.) at the Daytona Beach Classic in December.

books. Some newspaper accounts, however, even those after 1979, may not include the statistical leader in a game for rebounding, assists, steals and blocks.
Editor’s Note: The following records were gleaned from a majority of official NCAA box scores and some newspaper accounts. Official NCAA box scores prior to 1979 are very scarce. Tracking down single-game records is an on-going process and we will attempt to fill in the void between 1945-1979 through newspaper and other published accounts such as press guides and yearbooks. Some newspaper accounts, however, even those after 1979, may not include the statistical leader in a game for rebounding, assists, steals and blocks.

*Please note: During the 1999-2000 season, the MAC Freedom League regular-season champion earned an automatic berth to the NCAA tournament. There was no post-season tournament within the Freedom League. The cross over with the Commonwealth League teams was still in effect for the tournament, so the regular-season champions for the Freedom and Commonwealth leagues were declared the champions in order to receive automatic bids to the NCAA tournament.
