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).

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

HANIF JONES BRINGS AGGRESSIVENESS, LEADERSHIP TO STEVENSON DEFENSE Hanif Jones came to the Stevenson University football program as a safety. He was comfortable in that spot, but the Mustangs had other needs. Before his sophomore season, Stevenson head coach Ed Hottle approached Jones about moving from safety to outside linebacker. “The transition from safety wasn’t something that he initially embraced,” Hottle said. “We really felt that if we could get him around the line of scrimmage, he could be far more impactful. We thought that he was such a physical presence that we needed to get him around the ball. Fortunately for us, we were right. I think he’s one of the most physically dominant players in the league.” Jones was initially reluctant about the position switch, but understood the reasons why it was proposed. The senior from Prince George, Va. has certainly made an impact from

another spot on the field. “I grew to become a bigger person and to do what was best for my team,” Jones said. “My team needed the help in that spot. I was an aggressive player to begin with, and to play the outside linebacker position you need to be aggressive. It’s a faster pace (at outside linebacker), and you have to zone into your keys faster. At the back end, I had time to recover if I made the wrong read. Playing on the line of scrimmage, you can’t make the wrong read because everything happens so fast.” In his final collegiate season, Jones has become the anchor of a Stevenson defensive unit that has allowed just 20 points per game entering today’s Middle Atlantic Conference matchup against Widener at Mustang Stadium. Jones and fellow linebacker Ryan Schoppert are Stevenson’s co-leaders with 17 tackles, and Jones paces the Mustangs with four tackles for loss. Jones also blocked an extra-point attempt in Stevenson’s 49-15 rout at conference foe FDU-Florham, a victory that evened the Mustangs’ overall

record at 2-2 and 1-1 in conference play. Jones has built a standout career at Stevenson. He played in all 11 games during his freshman season, which culminated with the Mustangs’ initial MAC football title and first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division III playoffs. Injuries limited Jones to just seven games during his sophomore season, but he still recorded 35 tackles for the Mustangs. “During my first two seasons, I really learned how to work to become a better football player,” Jones said. “Before I came here, I just made plays with my athleticism. I learned that my athleticism is going to carry me, but what was going to take me to the next level is what I do off the field: studying my playbook, watching film, talking with my coaches, and trying to understand the game plan.” Jones’ more complete approach to football paid off during his breakout junior season. The 6-2, 200-pound Jones became one of Stevenson’s most productive defenders, finish-

role and really take control.” ing the 2018 season with 50 tackles and a team-high four interceptions. He earned the Middle Atlantic Conference’s Defensive Player of the Week honors twice during the Mustangs’ 8-3 campaign. Jones was chosen the league’s top defensive player after scoring on a 31-yard interception return during a Sept. 15 win at Albright. Jones repeated the MAC honor after recording six tackles, two sacks, and a fumble recovery in Stevenson’s Oct. 20 Homecoming victory over Wilkes. With the graduation of seven defensive starters from the 2018 squad, Jones needed to become a team leader. Hottle recalled a moment during the preseason when Jones, the leading returning tackler from the 2018 squad, stepped to the forefront. “We didn’t have a great end to one of our practices,” Hottle said. “Hanif stood up in front of the team, and he let them have it a little bit, in a very positive way. He’s one of those guys who have the ability to speak when it’s most relevant, and when he talks there’s a lot of ears listening. His power is in his ability to pick the right spots. Hanif is coming from a place of passion, and his message is grounded in all of the right things.” As his senior year dawned, Jones knew that his time to be a team leader had arrived. “I used to lead by example, because we always had other vocal leaders on the team,” Jones recalled. “This year, I had to step into a more vocal

Jones’ football skills and leadership abilities aren’t the only qualities that make him stand out. In addition to a taking on a full academic load and living the time-consuming life of a college football player, Jones works at least 30 hours per week for PMM Companies, a commercial cleaning and facility maintenance organization. “I believe that by God’s grace, I have achieved the balance of academics, football, and work,” said Jones, who is paying his own way through school. “I give a lot of credit to my managers (at PMM), because they understand where I’m coming from as a student and as an athlete.” That balance was important to Jones when he began looking at his potential college destinations. The emphasis on academics was the main factor that led him to Stevenson. “A lot of schools that were recruiting me were talking about football,

football, football,” said Jones, who is majoring in Business Administration. “They didn’t tell me a lot about the academic side of the school. Coming to Stevenson, I learned that you get one-on-one help with your professors and that the school will help you with job placement. That was big for me, to get my degree and get a good job when I leave school.” Hottle is not surprised that Jones has been able to successfully juggle so many responsibilities. “He’s very unselfish, and a teamoriented guy,” Hottle said. “Much of what we see in his character as a person, we also see as a football player. It’s a testament to his work ethic that he’s still here. How many guys walk off the practice field and then go to work for six or seven hours? He works almost around the clock, and his grades are great. I think his family should be very proud of the young man that they’ve raised.”

MUSTANG SPORTS FEATURE The Stevenson athletic department recently announced two new head coaches. Tori Emoff ‘16 took over in the summer as the third head coach of the women’s ice hockey program, while Clarke Nyman was recently named the interim head coach of the men’s and women’s swimming programs. A three-year captain and inaugural member of the Stevenson women’s ice hockey team, Emoff appeared in 96 career games on defense, which ranks tied for sixth in program history. She led the Mustangs to a 23-3-1 record and the inaugural Colonial Hockey Conference (CHC) championship in her senior season when she posted a program-best plus-24 rating. During that season she was named an All-CHC First Team selection and to the CHC All-Tournament Team. In four seasons, Emoff finished with 31 points on nine goals and 22 assists while netting six power play goals and a plus-14 rating. At Trine, Emoff helped guide the Thunder in their inaugural season in 2017-18 before assisting the team to 10 wins in the program’s second season. While at Trine, Emoff was responsible for creating and conducting practice plans and off-ice workouts. She oversaw recruiting for the program and was responsible for the defensive side of the bench. Prior to Trine, Emoff served as the co-head coach of St. Timothy’s Catholic High School girls’ varsity ice hockey for a year. For the past two seasons, she has co-coached

Each team room is equipped with their own restroom and shower facilities, LCD televisions with cable, built-in stereos, scoreboard clocks and Internet access. They also feature custom built, hand-stained, wooden lockers personalized for each student-athlete. In constructing the football team room, the University repurposed the original lockers

used by the Super Bowl XXXV champion Baltimore Ravens in what is now the Caves Sports and Wellness Center. The concourse level has a full-service ticket office and concession stand as well as spacious restroom facilities, team store and security office. The third floor is a 6,400-square foot fitness center overlooking Owings Mills Boulevard complete with state-of-the-art workout equipment, sound system and LCD televisions with cable. There are also restroom and shower facilities as well as office space for a strength and conditioning coach. The two-story press box features a President’s Suite on the fourth level, complete with theatre-style seating, outdoor patios, two LCD televisions with cable, scoreboard clocks, granite countertops and bathroom tile, buffet and bar service. The fifth floor contains one of the best media facilities in Division III.

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.”

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.
