1981 REFLECTION - The birth of a national postseason competition for women’s athletics came from the passing of Title IX in 1972 and as 277 Division I institutions sponsored women’s sports entered the NCAA in 1981. It would be in that same year when, out of 95 participating Division I field hockey schools, the University of Connecticut would be selected to host the first-ever NCAA Division I Field Hockey Championship at Memorial Stadium on November 21 & 22, 1981 in Storrs, Connecticut. During that historical year in women’s college sports, under new national governance, seventh-year head coach Diane Wright would guide her Connecticut team to a 15-2-3 overall record and a berth in the home-hosted contest. The underdog UConn upset top-seeded and top-ranked Massachusetts, 4-1, in the championship final to seal the title for the Huskies. They became the first-ever NCAA Champion in the sport, the school’s first-ever NCAA National Championship team (men’s or women’s) and the first-ever college women’s team to be crowned as NCAA Division I Champions. UConn standouts Laurie Decker, Lynn Kotler, Lorie McCollum and Rose Smith were named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team, while Decker and McCollum became Connecticut field hockey’s first All-American selections. Since the 1981 National Championship season, Connecticut has qualified for 22 of the 30 national postseason tournaments held, with 11 appearances in the NCAA National Semifinals.

2013 National Champions

SCHULZ Entering her 17th season with the UConn field hockey coaching staff, Cheri Schulz works primarily with the goaltenders. During the 2004 season, Schulz’s expertise proved to be a key factor at UConn. The team allowed just 0.57 goals per game to its opponents, which ranked first nationally and helped earn goalkeeper, Melissa Bostwick, second-team All-America honors. The Huskies have consistently ranked among the nation’s leaders in fewest goals allowed during her tenure. More recently, Husky goalkeeper Sarah Mansfield was honored as a First Team All-American from 2011-13 and named to the 2011 All-NCAA Tournament Team. Mansfield was also selected as the BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Year in 2010. She was also Big East First Team in all four years. In 2014, the Huskies finished with nine shutouts, including back-to-back clean sheets in the NCAA National Semifinals and NCAA National Finals from redshirtfreshman keeper Nina Klein. In 2016, UConn ranked fourth in goals against average (1.22) in all of Division I with Klein as goalkeeper. “Cheri brings a wealth of goalkeeping experience to our program,” UConn head coach Nancy Stevens said. “She has developed two All-America goalkeepers during her five years on the coaching staff. Cheri is a tireless worker who always puts the needs of the team first. We are very fortunate to have her in our program.” Schulz came to UConn from Providence College, where she served as an assistant coach for two years under head coach Bill Davidson. The Friars made the BIG EAST Field Hockey Tournament, eventually losing to UConn in the championship game in 2000. Prior to her stint at Providence, Schulz was an assistant field hockey coach at Fairfield University during the 1998 season, when they captured their first-ever Patriot League title. She also served as a graduate assistant at Syracuse, her alma mater, from 1996-1998. While at Syracuse, Schulz was a four-year starter in goal for the Orangewomen. During her career, Syracuse went a combined 54-23-6, won two BIG EAST Championships and made two NCAA appearances under the direction of head coach Kathleen Parker. Schulz, a member of the BIG EAST All-Conference Team in 1993 and 1995 and an All-America selection in 1995, is Syracuse’s current record holder for career saves, save percentage, goals against average, single game saves and shutouts at Syracuse.

“During the recruiting process, we work hard to identify players who have a passion for the game. Our role as coaches is to create a supportive environment and give our players the freedom to reach their full potential. We encourage unselfish play. When you give up the ball to a teammate, you will always get it back. Putting the team first is the surest path to a championship.” - Nancy Stevens, Head Coach “I consider myself very privileged to have studied at the University of Connecticut and played at one of the best programs in the country. Playing hockey for Nancy (Stevens) was unbelievably special. The friendships made and the winning culture within the program are what made my four years so memorable. I will never forget being a part of the back-toback National Championship teams in 2013 & 2014.” Three-Time All-American Roisin Upton (‘16)

“Playing field hockey for one of the top athletic and academic institutions in the nation is something I will always be grateful for. It was one big adrenaline rush. All of the hard work and determination that my coaching staff and teammates possessed showed through until our very last moment together on the field. Thinking back about all of the old memories- the success and the adversity- I would not change a thing.” Two-Time All-American Rose Aspelin (‘96)

“Looking back upon my career at UConn brings a smile to my face and warmth to my heart. They were the most memorable years of my life, where I learned the most important lessons of life, including the value of friendship and family. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunities I had at UConn, both on and off the playing field. I will never forget how proud I was to put on a Husky uniform and represent the University of Connecticut. We valued not only our performance, but our relationships as well.” Three-Time All-American Laura Klein (‘01)

“Coming from Europe, I was never able to grasp the extent to which American varsity sports could draw you in and create an immense feeling of community. As a Husky, this part of University life has become the part I value the most. The connections I’ve made with the people I am surrounded with and influenced by every day are beyond anything I could have ever imagined.” Three-Time All-American Anna Middendorf (‘17)

“Walking out to the game field wearing the UConn colors is only one of the proud memories I have of being a Husky. In high school, this was what I dreamed about, taking my play to the next level and becoming a part of a union where everyone has the same dream- to become a champion. Not only did we become champions, but we survived the ups and downs of working our hardest and making sacrifices together. Playing for Nancy Stevens and for UConn taught me many lessons in leadership, friendship, trust and dedication.” All-American Nicole Castonguay (‘00)

“Reflecting back on my time at Connecticut makes me realize how special those four years really were. Through field hockey, I have gained so many precious memories and experiences that I will forever carry in my heart and mind. Many people that I have met there are now my closest friends and an extended part of my family. My years as a collegiate athlete are exactly as I dreamed they would be and I wouldn’t give them up for the world.” Three-Time All-American Amy Herz (‘01)

PRESIDENT

SUSAN HERBST S

usan Herbst was appointed as the 15th President of the University of Connecticut by its Board of Trustees in December of 2010, and arrived on campus in June of 2011. She is the first female president of the University, which was founded in 1881. Since that time, she has led multiple initiatives to strengthen teaching, research and service at the University. Chief among them is her four-year plan, approved by the University’s Board of Trustees in December 2011, to hire 300 new tenured or tenure-track faculty members at UConn – above and beyond filling vacancies – to significantly enhance course offerings and the University’s research capability. The initiative has resulted in new faculty hires across multiple disciplines, including both the sciences and humanities, building on existing faculty strengths as well as investing in emerging fields. President Herbst has also led the implementation of two recent major state investments in UConn: Next Generation Connecticut and Bioscience Connecticut, both of which were passed by the Connecticut state legislature and signed into law by Governor Dannel P. Malloy in 2013 and 2011, respectively. Next Generation Connecticut is a more than $1.5 billion endeavor that will expand educational opportunities, research, and innovation in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines at UConn over the next decade, as well as add new faculty in the humanities. The cornerstone of this effort is a major increase in the University’s enrollment, the expansion of our faculty – in addition to UConn’s current faculty hiring initiative – and new and updated facilities to accommodate enhanced STEM research and teaching, as well as UConn’s growing population. It also will support the academic missions, and the expansion of critical programs, at UConn’s Hartford and Stamford campuses. Bioscience Connecticut is an $864 million initiative that is revitalizing the UConn Health enterprise, expanding enrollment in the medical and dental classes, building new business incubators, creating centers of excellence with neighboring institutions, and more. Expansion plans include building a new world-class patient tower, an outpatient ambulatory center, and parking garages. Existing facilities will undergo major renovation, making room for updated infrastructure, state-of-the-art research laboratories, and modern educational spaces. Through Bioscience Connecticut, business incubator space at the University will double. Additional prominent clinician-scientists will also be recruited to the faculty to contribute toward UConn Health’s academic, clinical, and research programs. Bioscience Connecticut was critical to attracting The Jackson Laboratory to create a new billion-dollar personalized medicine laboratory on the UConn Health campus in Farmington as part of a new partnership with the University. In addition, President Herbst announced in 2012 that UConn would relocate one of its regional campuses, currently located in suburban West Hartford, back to downtown Hartford, where it was initially located in 1939 before being moved out of the city in the 1970s. In June 2014, it was announced that the new campus would be located and constructed at the site of the former Hartford Times building on

2013 National Champions

Prospect Street. The $115 million project will house 2,300 students and 250 employees, and be designed as a neighborhood campus anchored by a main building in the heart of downtown with other spaces located throughout the area. Classes are expected to begin in fall 2017. One of President Herbst’s other priorities is dramatically increasing the level of philanthropic giving to UConn through the UConn Foundation. Along with Joshua Newton, who began as president of the UConn Foundation in 2013, she has set the goal of eventually raising at least $100 million in new gifts per year, with a long-term goal of reaching an endowment value of $1 billion. Prior to her appointment at UConn, President Herbst served as executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer of the University System of Georgia, where she led 15 university presidents and oversaw the academic missions for all 35 public universities in Georgia. Before arriving in Georgia, she was provost and executive vice president at the University at Albany (SUNY), and also served as officer in charge of the university from 2006 to 2007, upon the death of Kermit L. Hall. She previously served as the dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Temple University. Born in New York City and raised in Peekskill, N.Y., Herbst received her B.A. in Political Science from Duke University in 1984, and her Ph.D. in communication theory and research from the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication in Los Angeles in 1989. Herbst spent 14 years at Northwestern University, joining the faculty in 1989 and serving until her departure to Temple in 2003. At Northwestern she held a variety of positions including professor of political science and chair of the department. She is a scholar of public opinion, media, and American politics, and is author of four books and many articles in these areas, most recently, Rude Democracy: Civility and Incivility in American Politics (2010). Along with Benjamin Page, Lawrence Jacobs, and Adam Berinsky, she edits the University of Chicago Press series in American Politics. She serves on the Board of Directors of the American Council on Education.

CLOSE TO

STORRS

In addition to all that the city of Hartford and the state of Connecticut has to offer, the region within two hours of Storrs is ripe with cultural and entertainment possibilities.

SPRINGFIELD (47 miles)

NEW YORK CITY (142 miles)

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is located less than an hour from Storrs in Springfield, Mass., just minutes from the YMCA where Dr. James Naismith invented the game in 1891. A must-see for any fan of the hardwood, the Hall of Fame reopened in the fall of 2002 in a $45 million home just off of Interstate 91 in Springfield. The pinnacle of any basketball career, the Hall’s long list of inductees includes former UConn men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun, a 2005 inductee, and women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma, a 2006 inductee. Once you finish your tour of the Hall of Fame, Springfield’s neighboring suburb of Agawam is the home of Six Flags New England, the region’s largest amusement park.

The largest city in the country and the “media capital of the world” is a UConn city. New York City is located approximately two hours from Storrs and when the Huskies are in town, they make their presence known. The UConn men’s basketball team returns to Madison Square Garden this December to play Syracuse and won the 2014 NCAA East Regional in the World’s Most Famous Arena on their way to the national championship. The UConn women’s basketball team has played in MSG seven times as it attracts the largest crowds for the sport in the Metropolitan area. The Husky football team made its Big Apple debut in 2014 when it played at Yankee Stadium and the men’s ice hockey team played last year in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center.

BOSTON (86 miles) The birthplace of the American Revolution, Boston’s historic Freedom Trail is a living history textbook, covering everything from the Battle of Bunker Hill to the midnight ride of Paul Revere. Meanwhile, the city blends its old world charm with a cosmopolitan new world attitude that is evidenced by some of the trendier shops and restaurants that line both historic Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the Back Bay’s Newbury Street. One of the world’s foremost centers of education, Boston is home to over 50 colleges and universities; perhaps the entire world’s most concentrated collection of colleges. The greater Boston area also includes the summer beach resorts on Cape Cod and the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. A hub of sporting activity, the 2004, 2007 and 2013 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox have called fabled Fenway Park home since 1912. A hub of sporting activity, the Boston Red Sox have called fabled Fenway Park home since 1912 while other offerings include the Celtics of the NBA and the Bruins of the NFL and the NFL’s New England Patriots in nearby Foxboro.

PROVIDENCE (51 miles) Rhode Island’s capital city shows that one of the nation’s smallest states also has plenty to offer its visitors. The multi-cultural capital city, which dates back to 1636, is the Ocean State’s centerpiece. The best known hamlet on the Rhode Island shore, the ocean town of Newport is world famous for its mansions and is a popular vacation destination for those seeking aquatic activities. Newport’s renowned music festival is also a well-attended annual event.
