Letter from Patrick Lyons This is truly an exciting time for our department as we continue our transition to the next chapter of Seton Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storied athletic program. Over the past year, we took great strides in reshaping the landscape of Seton Hall Athletics, beginning with the progressive movement of the BIG EAST Conference, completing major facility enhancements, as well as forging new partnerships that will be integral in lifting the department to new heights. The accomplishments highlighted in this report were made possible because of the overwhelming support of our generous alumni, students, parents and fans. Our student-athlete centered vision has never been more focused on providing premier resources and services to enable Seton Hall student-athletes to excel in all aspects of life. Coming off another record setting year, the Pirate Blue Athletic Fund remains a driving force in fulfilling our commitment to the student-athlete. As we continue to strengthen the foundation for Seton Hall Athletics, it is important to reflect on the achievements and successes of the department. This report allows us to celebrate our athletic, academic and community accomplishments, which epitomize the standard of excellence we all take great pride in. Thank you for your continued support of Seton Hall Athletics and commitment to providing an atmosphere of success for our student-athletes.

Go Pirates! PATRICK LYONS Vice President and Director of Athletics & Recreational Services

FACILITY ENHANCEMENTS The transformation of Seton Hall Athletics has never been so visible in a calendar year. The unveiling of three major facility enhancements within the Richie Regan Athletic Center has continued to propel the department in an upward direction. A cohesive effort to fulfill the strategic vision of providing top resources to Seton Hall student-athletes took great strides in 201314 with the opening of the state-of-the-art Center for Sports Medicine and Charles W. Doehler Academic Center for Excellence, thanks to the generous contributions made to the Pride and Excellence Campaign. The University’s brand-new, multi-million dollar

fitness center also made its debut. The stylish facility with a sleek glass façade overlooking Seton Drive, will serve as a hub for activity for the entire Seton Hall community for years to come. Considered one of the focal points for the Pride and Excellence Campaign, the Center for Sports Medicine opened in August prior to the return of Seton Hall’s student-athletes. A cornerstone to the overall success of our athletic programs, Seton Hall’s new medical facility rivals those of its counterparts, as it doubled in size and features innovative technology that provides the opportunity for student-

athletes to receive the top injury prevention and rehabilitation resources available. The modernized facility is equipped with new taping stations and treatment areas, as well as a contemporary hydrotherapy room and a dedicated physicians’ area for a full complement of on-site care. The hydrotherapy room features three 14foot in-ground HydroWorx tubs, offering student-athletes a “Polar Plunge” for cold therapy, a “Thermal Plunge” for heat therapy, and the third is equipped with an underwater treadmill that operates in variable water depths with a video monitoring system to track progress.

center for sports medicine

Soon after the Center for Sports Medicine was introduced, construction culminated on the Charles W. Doehler Academic Center, which was established to serve as a foundation for the continuous academic success of Seton Hall student-athletes. With the collective grade point average for the department surpassing all-time highs, the renovation and expansion of the space better facilitates the support services available to student-athletes who are striving to raise the bar even higher. Named for Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Famer and proud alumnus Charles Doehler, the academic center was strategically designed to establish an atmosphere devoted to empower and inspire success in the classroom. Outfitted with contemporary furniture and branded displays honoring past academic award winners, the Charles W. Doehler Academic Center features two group meeting rooms, two private tutor areas, a set of study lounges and offices for the academic support staff and director of student-athlete development. One of the most significant structures developed on the South Orange campus in recent years was completed in January, when the University’s new Fitness Center officially opened its doors to the Seton Hall community. The 12,000 square foot addition reshaped the face of the Richie Regan Athletic Center and is one of the top recreational facilities in the Northeast.

The two-tier facility was established in an entirely new space and features new men’s and women’s locker rooms, dedicated cardio stations, as well as circuit and free weight training options and a set of 1,250 square foot dance studios. Powered by cutting edge equipment with the latest technology integrated into each cardio apparatus, the University’s new fitness center has a multitude of offerings to accommodate demands of the campus community, which logged an upward of 50,000 workouts in its first six months of operation. To complement the myriad of equipment options, over 30 group fitness classes are offered on a weekly basis by certified instructors.

As documented, the completion of one enhancement project triggers the beginning of the next phase of the Pride and Excellence Campaign, a vital initiative to raise funds for the development of essential student-athlete facility projects and renovations. Construction is underway to create a new varsity weight room, team-specific locker rooms, as well as a team video room in an amphitheater setting. Each enhancement project contributes to the overarching goal of providing an atmosphere and resources for Seton Hall student-athletes to reach their full potential in competition, in the classroom and in the community.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE The 2013-14 academic year saw Seton Hall University’s student-athletes continue to raise the standard in the classroom; collectively the Pirates posted a combined cumulative grade point average of 3.29, the highest in school history. Two individual student-athletes truly stood out as academic and community leaders in Erin McClure of women’s golf and women’s tennis standout Chloe Sher.

Academic All-Star and member of the national student-athlete honor society Chi Alpha Sigma, Sher became the first Seton Hall student-athlete to receive the BIG EAST Michael Tranghese Postgraduate Leadership Award in recognition of her “leadership through excellence in academic credentials, athletic performance and depth of commitment to service within the institution or the community.”

Sher, a senior who capped her career with a third consecutive All-BIG EAST selection and fourthstraight team Most Valuable Player Award, helped shepherd a women’s tennis team that posted one of its most successful seasons since the turn of the century. A native of Hong Kong, Sher recorded a gaudy total of 79 singles victories – the second-highest total in program history – and combined with classmate Rocio Portela to register a school record 62 doubles wins in her time on the court for The Hall.

As part of the award, she will receive $5,000 to help support her plans to attend the University of British Columbia where she will work towards a Master of Arts in resource management and environment studies.

What made Sher exceptional is that she combined her athletic exploits with outstanding academic achievement. Part of a squad that garnered yet another Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Team Academic Award, Sher graduated with Magna Cum Laude honors in the spring with a degree in environmental studies. A four-time BIG EAST

On the national level, Sher was an NCAA Woman of the Year and Postgraduate Scholarship nominee and within the conference; she also took home the BIG EAST Sport Excellence Award for women’s tennis, an honor bestowed upon one student-athlete in each BIG EAST-sponsored sport based on academic credentials, athletic accolades or performances and volunteer service to the community. In addition to helping power the women’s golf program to the pinnacle of the conference in just its fourth year of existence, junior Erin McClure was also recognized with a BIG EAST Sports Excellence Award. The Tucson native

embodied a standard of excellence, emerging as one of the team leaders both on and off the course. McClure led the Pirates with a stroke average under 76.00 with the individual highlight of her campaign coming at the Rutgers Invitational where she finished at 2-over-par to collect the third win in school history. She tallied a teambest seven, top-10 finishes and five, top-five finishes in 2013-14 and tied for second among all golfers at the 2014 BIG EAST Championship with a 13-over-par, 229 to earn All-BIG EAST honors along with the team title. In the classroom, the three-time BIG EAST Academic All-Star continued to excel. A business marketing major, she earned an induction into Chi Alpha Sigma as well and was named an All-American Scholar by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) for the second-straight year. Both the women’s golf and women’s tennis programs received a second-consecutive NCAA’s Public Recognition Award for posting an Academic Progress Rate that ranked in the top-10 percent nationally. Each team was also extremely active in the community, participating in a number of department-wide efforts as well as spearheading their own initiatives to help support research in the fights against ovarian cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

PIRATE STANDOUTS

FUQUAN

edwin Fuquan Edwin left a lasting impression on the Seton Hall men’s basketball program as the four year starter topped off a remarkable career at The Hall with a stellar senior campaign. One of the top guards in the BIG EAST, Edwin helped propel the Pirates to their first BIG EAST Tournament semifinal appearance since 2001 while engraving his name in the record books along the journey. The accolades poured in for the 6-foot-6 guard from Paterson, N.J., none more significant than BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year honors. He became only the second Seton Hall player to earn the prestigious award. Edwin was also named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll a team-high six times during the regular-season. For the second time in the last three seasons, Edwin led the BIG EAST in steals (77) and ranked fifth in the nation with a 2.66 average. He broke Seton Hall’s career steals record (295), which stood for over 30 years, and graduated seventh all-time on the BIG EAST’s career steals list with 153 against

league opponents. An All-BIG EAST Second Team selection, Edwin led the Pirates in scoring for the second straight year with 14.5 points per game. He elevated his average to 15.8 points against BIG EAST competition, which was the 10th best in the conference. Edwin scored in double-digits 18 times, including nine 20+ point performances and a pair of 30+ point breakouts in 29 appearances. In the Pirates three BIG EAST Tournament contests, he put up 12.3 points per game, including a team-high 20 points in the semifinals versus Providence. Edwin shined the brightest in conference play with marquee performances coming in wins over Georgetown and Xavier. Edwin guided the Pirates to their first sweep of the Hoyas since 2002-03, beginning with a game-high 24 points, six rebounds and five steals in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 18. He took control in the second half erupting for 19 points en route to a 67-57 victory. Then on Feb. 20, he helped the Pirates run away with a 15-point

triumph over the Hoyas at the Prudential Center, delivering a game-high 21 points hitting 9-of-13 field goals. Against Xavier on Feb. 1, Edwin led the Pirates to another memorable road victory scoring a team-high 18 points in a 68-60 decision at the Cintas Center, snapping the Musketeers 13-game home win streak. His decorated senior campaign was also recognized with All-Metropolitan First Team honors, as well as being named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division I All-District 5 Second Team. The two-time All-BIG EAST honoree leaves The Hall ranked 12th on the all-time scoring list with 1,633 career points and 10th with 172 three-point field goals. He is only the seventh player to come through the program who has recorded over 1,500-points and 600-rebounds, joining an elite group which includes Pirate greats Walter Dukes (1950-53), Nick Werkman (1961-64), Ken House (1969-72), Andre McCloud (1982-86), Mark Bryant (1984-88) and Arturas Karnisovas (1990-94).

KERRIE

of the BIG EAST Swimmer of the Week Awards that the conference doled out during the year while pushing her impressive career total over the 70-win plateau.

Hailing from Franklin Square, N.Y., Kolackovsky had already entrenched herself among most productive swimmers in school history over her first three years competing for the Pirates – her diminutive frame generating awe-inspiring power that often left her a step above the competition.

By late February, the lead up had concluded. The wait was over. After Ben Mitchell and Gabby Signorelli led Seton Hall to a sweep of all four diving titles, Kolackovsky, her teammates, and the top swimmers from around the league descended upon the pool at the Gloucester Institute of Technology to vie for the right to be called a champion.

The team’s wins and points leader in each of those seasons, she entered her valedictory campaign as the owner of a multitude of school records. With her name already littered across the record board that hangs inside the Arthur E. Imperatore Natatorium, only one thing remained missing; an elusive conference title. It had been two decades since newly enshrined Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Famer Jen Heider had brought home the last BIG EAST championship for a female swimmer at The Hall. Kolackovsky was resolute in her efforts to be the one who ended the drought, producing a routinely dominant regular season that saw her earn half

2013-14 Annual Report Seton Hall Athletics

Seeded first in the 200-yard IM and both the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke events, all eyes were on the second-generation Pirate whose sister Jessica had competed for the blue & white before her. First up on the psych sheet was the individual medley race, one that featured a standout performance from Kolackovsky who finished just .13 seconds off her own school record pace. The near miss mirrored that of her quest for a championship though as she came in as the runner-up behind Sara Jurek of Villanova.

With her trademark breaststroke events still remaining however; Kolackovsky was undeterred. The following day, she thoroughly outclassed the field in the 100-yard breaststroke, ranking first in preliminaries before racing to a momentous first-place finish in the final. A climb thousands of practices, hundreds of races and four years in the making, she had reached the top of the podium. Far from satisfied though, Kolackovsky followed up by eclipsing her nearest competitor in the 200-yard breaststroke by nearly four seconds to capture a second gold medal and put the finishing touches on a storied career. The superlative showing entered her in the same pantheon as Heider as the only female swimmers in program history with multiple conference titles. At the conclusion of the conference meet, she was named Co-Most Outstanding Female Swimmer and earned All-BIG EAST honors in six different events. With a career ledger that includes six individual school records, four relay marks and two BIG EAST titles, it is safe to say that Kerrie Kolackovsky has established a new gold standard for Seton Hall swimming & diving.

PIRATE STANDOUTS

LLOYD JEFFERSON

It’s rare that a freshman joins a team and immediately becomes its dominant performer. Not only did Lloyd Jefferson Go (Guadalupe Cebu City, Philippines) immediately become the Seton Hall men’s golf team’s top player, but in just 11 tournaments, he became one of the program’s greatest golfers of all-time. Named unanimous BIG EAST Freshman of the Year and All-BIG EAST, Go averaged a team-best 72.6 strokes per round. Named Seton Hall Freshman Athlete of the Year, he led the Pirates as the low scorer in 10 of the 11 events throughout the 2013-

go 14 academic year. Go had four tournaments where he shot under par, which ties him for third-most in Seton Hall history despite being only a freshman. He’s tied with Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Famer Mike Costigan and trails only Hall of Famer Eugene Smith (nine) and Kyle Morris (six). On October 21, Go finished third at the Barnabas Health Intercollegiate with a 5-under-par score. His tournament score of 139 tied the Seton Hall record for the program’s lowest two-round, par-72 score. Furthermore, his 5-under-par score is tied for the third-lowest against par in Seton Hall history.

A Ping Division I All-Region Team selection, Go also proceeded to shoot under par at The Doc Gimmler tournament, hosted by St. John’s, the Princeton Invitational and the highly competitive Rutherford Intercollegiate, hosted by Penn State. He recorded six, top-10 finishes. Although the sample size is small, Go’s 72.60 career stroke average is currently the lowest of any golfer in Seton Hall history.

KA-DEIDRE

simmons Last season, the Seton Hall University women’s basketball team experienced a level of success not seen for nearly two decades, and in the center of it all was redshirt junior point guard Ka-Deidre Simmons (Newark, N.J.), who turned in arguably the greatest single-season performance for a point guard in program history. Under first year head coach Anthony Bozzella, the Pirates ran a high scoring, fast paced offense, and Simmons thrived, eventually claiming all of the accolades that come along with being one of the best point guards in the BIG EAST. Starting all 34 games at the point, Simmons ranked fifth in the BIG EAST in scoring at 16.7 ppg, and she set a new SHU single-season assist record with 174,

averaging better than five per game. The Pirates scored 71.1 ppg as a team, the highest average in 20 years, and the third-best offensive season in program history. Simmons scored in double figures in all but one game, including 29 in a row to end the year. Her career-best effort came in the form of a 25-point performance at Villanova, a 64-56 Seton Hall victory in front of a national television audience. On Jan. 13, two days after leading The Hall to the road win at Villanova, Simmons was tabbed as the BIG EAST Athlete of the Week for the first time of her career, and she landed on the conference’s weekly honor roll on four occasions.

Her consistency throughout the season eventually led to First-Team All-BIG EAST recognition, making her the first Pirate to receive that distinction since Dana Wynne in 1996. Simmons also landed on the BIG EAST All-Tournament team, another first since Wynne accomplished the same 18 years prior. During the course of the season, Simmons eclipsed 1,000-career points, becoming just the 20th studentathlete in team history to do so. By the time the dust settled on the season and SHU’s deep run in the WNIT, she ranked 14th in school history in scoring with 1,139 points, and fifth in assists with 368.

PIRATE STANDOUTS

JOSH

prevost Arguably the single most-impressive studentathlete performance during the 2013-14 academic year was the breakout performance of baseball pitcher Josh Prevost in 2014. After collecting just five wins in nine starts in his first three years in South Orange, Prevost blossomed into one of the most-dominating pitchers in the nation as a senior. After overcoming personal heartache over the loss of his father in January, Prevost elevated his game to a new level and guided the Pirates to a 39-15 record in 2014, the most wins by the program since 2000. As the team’s ace and regular Friday starter, he pitched to a 12-2 record with a microscopic 1.62 earned run average with 111 strikeouts and just 20 walks. A consensus All-American, Prevost was named a semifinalist for the prestigious Golden

Spikes Award, which honors the nation’s best college baseball player. Named Seton Hall’s first BIG EAST Pitcher of the Year since 1992, Prevost was named conference Pitcher of the Week six times and to the Weekly Honor Roll and additional three times. Named Seton Hall’s Senior Student-Athlete of the Year, he has been named to the watch list for the College Baseball Hall of Fame’s National Pitcher of the Year Award. Prevost was also named ECAC Pitcher of the Year, among 300 member schools, and NJCBA Pitcher of the Year as the top hurler in the State of New Jersey. A unanimous First Team All-Conference selection, Prevost finished the 2014 season as the BIG EAST leader in wins, ERA, strikeouts, opponent batting average, innings

pitched, complete games and shutouts. His final career start was one for the ages. In the first round of the BIG EAST Championship, Prevost tossed a four-hit, completegame shutout as Seton Hall held on for a 1-0 victory over St. John’s. His seven strikeouts in the game gave him 111 for the season, third-most in Seton Hall history. Prevost’s 12th victory ties him with former Pirates Phil Cundari and Rich Vichroski for most all-time. His 116.1 innings pitched is the second-most ever for a Pirate, trailing only Joe DiRocco’s 118.2, but Prevost had two fewer starts. On June 6, Prevost was drafted in the fifth round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft by the New York Mets. Many have pitched for Seton Hall, but precious few have matched Prevost’s magical 2014 season.

ALYSSA

Warren As a junior, Alyssa Warren (Joliet, Ill.) was named the first BIG EAST Libero of the Year in the history of the Seton Hall volleyball program. How would she follow up such a historic performance? The cum laude graduate repeated as BIG EAST Libero of the Year becoming only the fourth multiple-year winner of the award in conference history. A participant in all 125 sets for Seton Hall in 2013, Warren became the Pirates’ all-time career digs leader in a match vs. Columbia on Sept. 21. She topped 20 digs in a single-match 16 times as a senior, and became the only player in Seton Hall history with over 2,000 career digs. Warren recorded two of her four career

double-doubles in 2013 (assists and digs) and finished the season leading the BIG EAST in digs per set for a second straight season.

career digs record, her 659 digs in 2012 is the singleseason record and her 45 digs vs. Boston College on Sept. 16, 2011 is the single-game record.

Furthermore, she finished the 2013 campaign ranked 26th in the nation in digs per set. In one particularly impressive match, she recorded a season-high 32 digs and 10 assists against BIG EAST powerhouse, Xavier, on Oct. 26. Warren was a team co-captain and the lone senior on the 2013 team.

Truly a model student-athlete, Warren’s impact extends far beyond the court. A perennial BIG EAST Academic All-Star and Academic Merit Award recipient, the Illinois product served as Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) Vice President in 2012-13, was inducted into the National College Athlete Honor Society – Chi Alpha Sigma –and also was one of four SHU studentathletes who participated in a Varsity Catholic mission trip to Puerto Rico, helping run a free sports camp for area youth.

A First Team All-Conference selection in 2013 and a Second Team pick in 2012, Warren has re-written the Seton Hall volleyball record book. In addition to her

SETON HALL WOMEN’S GOLF WINS BIG EAST CHAMPIONSHIP

A program that began only four years ago, the Seton Hall women’s golf team won the 2014 BIG EAST Championship. The Pirates defeated the rest of the new-look BIG EAST field by seven strokes to claim its first conference title. Seton Hall led the three-round event wire-to-wire and entered the final round leading by 13 strokes. The Pirates fired a 24-over-par, 312, in round three to comfortably win the title by seven strokes over Georgetown. The Hall finished the event at 64-overpar, with a 314-302-312-928. Georgetown finished at 71-over-par, while St. John’s was third at 73-over-par. “I am ecstatic for our team,” said Head Coach Sara Doell following the championship performance. “This is proof that hard work and determination pays off in the end. I am truly overwhelmed with pride right now.” The title is Seton Hall’s first team championship since the baseball team won the 2011 BIG EAST Championship. Erin McClure and Megan Tenhundfeld led the Pirates in the final round. McClure shot a 4-overpar, 76, while Tenhunfeld fired a 5-over-par, 77. Both golfers tied for second place among all individual golfers. They finished the three-round event three strokes behind Harin Lee of St. John’s, who won the

individual championship for the second time in her impressive career. “It’s hard to explain my emotion on what was such an incredible experience,” McClure said. “It’s truly amazing to come together as a team and win. It’s an incredible feeling.” McClure finished the three-round event with a very consistent 13-over-par, 77-76-76-229, while Tenhundfeld was 13-over-par with a 79-73-77-229. “We’re extremely happy with the results,” Tenhundfeld said. “I believe everyone contributed to this win, whether it’s through their score or simply their support. Personally, I was really happy with how I was able to contribute. I’m really glad to see my hard work paying off.” Ali Kruse placed ninth overall with a 16-overpar, 78-74-80-232. Kruse led Seton Hall in scoring average this year, has an individual tournament championship and now can add a BIG EAST title to her impressive list of career accolades. “I feel beyond blessed to be a member of this BIG EAST Championship team,” Kruse said. “Deep down, we all knew we could win and I couldn’t be more proud of my teammates. We stayed in the moment, took everything one shot at a time and are bringing home a trophy for The Hall! Go Pirates!”

Hannah Basalone, arguably the program’s most decorated golfer in history, graduated as a champion after being one of the founding members of the team in 2010. Basalone tied for 13th place among all individual golfers with a 22-over-par, 80-79-79-238. “I still can’t really believe we just won,” Basalone said. “To see this program develop and be a part of it from the very beginning has been so cool. If you had told me four years ago we’d win the BIG EAST before I graduated, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. I’m so proud of my entire team for what we’ve been able to accomplish. I couldn’t think of a better way to end my time at Seton Hall.” Karlie Zabrosky shaved nearly two full strokes off her scoring average from her freshman year to her sophomore year and was a major contributor all season long. Zabrosky tied for 19th with a 30-overpar, 83-82-81-246. “When I came to Seton Hall last year, I didn’t think I’d experience anything quite this awesome,” Zabrosky said. “I couldn’t be more proud to be on this team.”

THE H.A.L.L. PROGRAM

YEAR IN REVIEW

The 2013-14 academic year marked the first in the history of the newly instituted Helping Athletes Learn to be Leaders (H.A.L.L.) Program, an initiative which has already significantly transformed what it means to be a Seton Hall Pirate. Introduced last June in an effort to further enhance and enrich the student-athlete experience, the H.A.L.L. Program employs a multifaceted approach to promoting personal and professional development. These integrated methods which center on five major components - Leadership Development, Student-Athlete Welfare Enhancement, Academic and Athletic Success Initiatives, Community Enrichment, and Spiritual Growth - were constructed with one clear overarching objective; to best prepare studentathletes for success following graduation. “Here at Seton Hall, we remain dedicated to not only promoting athletic success, but creating an atmosphere that stimulates and supports the growth of our student-athletes as individuals as well,” said Director of Athletics Patrick Lyons when the program was introduced. Through an array of service efforts and sponsored activities, the past year saw the ambitious yet pragmatic vision of the H.A.L.L. Program put into practice. Seton Hall student-athletes benefited from a consistent stream of opportunities to engage the community, their faith and the university’s extensive alumni base. Whether it was a

joint effort with the America’s Grow-A-Row organization to assist in harvesting crops for distribution to local food banks or a packed Walsh Gymnasium for the Third Annual Leadership Forum; the H.A.L.L. Program calendar of events provided for a stimulating environment which helps to shape balanced individuals. In conjunction with the Seton Hall University mission of developing servant leaders, the athletics department and student-athletes placed a significant emphasis on giving back to the community during the 2013—2014 academic year. All together, the 14 teams and 260 student-athletes completed over 2,800 hours of community outreach during the period beginning in July of 2013 and concluding in June of 2014. Each team selected a specific charity or non-profit organization and either raised funds, or participated in various hands-on activities that benefitted thousands of individuals around the country. Some of the major organizations and initiatives that the student-athletes partnered with this past year include: • America’s Grow-A-Row • Reading with the Pirates • Seton Hall’s Hunger & Homelessness Week • Pen Pal Program with St. Francis Xavier School in Newark, N.J. • South Mountain YMCA • St. Barnabas Hospital in Livingston, N.J. • Essex County Public Schools

THE H.A.L.L. PROGRAM

STUDENT-ATHLETES TESTIMONIALS

“Coming in as a freshman, it took some time to get used to all of the new responsibilities that student-athletes have. Through the H.A.L.L. Program, we were provided with opportunities that helped us learn strategies that eased the transition while also helping us understand all that is expected of you as a Seton Hall Pirate.” Joelle Arrante Freshman Softball Elkton, Md.

“As student-athletes, the introduction of the H.A.L.L. Program offered us a diverse set of experiences throughout the year. Whether it was community service outings, workshops and activities dealing with the issues we face every day, or support in creating a professional path – it was a consistent presence. Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in classes and competition but the addition of the H.A.L.L. Program helped show the importance of balance.” Madison Shoemaker Junior Women’s Tennis Halfmoon Bay, British Columbia

“I think one of the biggest changes I saw after the H.A.L.L. Program was introduced was that we became much more of a student-athlete family. There are so many programs and initiatives that bring us all together and I think that carried over into us supporting each other more at games and feeling like we were part of something bigger than just our own teams.” Danny Bartok Sophomore Men’s Soccer Union, N.J. “Entering your senior year, plans for after graduation are something that weighs heavily on your mind. Through the H.A.L.L. Program I was able to participate in a number of career-driven programs that helped me take steps to stand out from other candidates. We received essential tips on preparing for the job-seeking process and how to manage our online presence effectively. We were afforded an opportunity to connect with successful alumni who shared valuable insight that we could use as we look to begin the next phase of our lives.” Joey Lacus Senior Men’s Swimming & Diving Wethersfield, Conn.

THE STUDENT-ATHLETE EXPERIENCE SAAC AWARDS BANQUET

The Seton Hall University Department of Athletics held its annual Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Awards Banquet on Thursday, April 24, recognizing student-athletes for their achievements in the classroom and on the field of play during the 2013-14 academic year. The SAAC Awards Banquet honors both scholastic and competitive accomplishments. This year, Seton Hall Athletics also introduced the The Saint John Paul II Sport and Spirituality Award recognizing a senior who exemplifies the virtues lauded by the “Athlete Pope.” The inaugural award was given to men’s soccer goalkeeper Kevin Bonder who among other ventures has been an active member of Varsity Catholic, a studentathlete centered division of the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (F.O.C.U.S.).

3.29, a new all-time high. The banquet provided the opportunity to highlight their collective commitment to academic excellence and reward those who have performed at an exceptional level in the classroom.

THE STUDENT-ATHLETE EXPERIENCE

PIRATE BLUE SENIOR AWARDS DINNER The Seton Hall University Department of Athletics hosted its third-annual Pirate Blue Senior Awards Banquet on Wednesday, May 14, at the Maplewood Country Club in Maplewood, N.J. The event was introduced in 2012 and aims to provide a platform to recognize the seniors from all 14 of Seton Hall’s varsity athletic programs for their outstanding achievements as student-athletes in front of their coaches, teammates, family and friends. As part of the ceremony, each senior is presented with a framed jersey or sportspecific memorabilia to commemorate their experience as a Seton Hall student-athlete. The marquee awards of the night honored Seton Hall’s Female and Male Student-Athletes of the Year. Following a pair of record-setting campaigns, Kerrie Kolackovsky (Franklin Square, N.Y.) of swimming & diving and volleyball’s Alyssa Warren (Joliet, Ill.) shared the honors on the women’s side while baseball standout Josh Prevost (Belle Meade, N.J.) took home the men’s award. Unquestionably one of the most accomplished swimmers ever to take the block for The Hall, Kolackovsky concluded her decorated career in the most fitting way possible. A holder of a of a staggering six individual program records, she swam her way to two gold medals at the 2014 BIG EAST Championships in February, outclassing the field in her trademark breaststroke events. The elusive titles were the first by a Seton Hall female swimmer in two decades, joining newly inducted Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Famer Jen Heider as the only swimmers in program history with multiple BIG EAST championships to their credit. The long-awaited first championship came as she beat runner-up and teammate Megan Mallon (Glen Mills, Pa.) to the wall in the 100-breast and was followed by a 200-breast showing in which the Franklin Square native clocked a time of 2:19.60 in the final, winning gold by nearly a four second margin over Xavier’s Natalie Hyde. Her outstanding effort at the championships also included a silver medal in the 200-yard individual medley and a starring role on school-record setting 800-free, 200-medley and 400-medley relay teams; earning her a share of the conference’s Most Outstanding Female Swimmer Award. By the end of the meet, she had also earned All-BIG EAST honors in all six aforementioned events; the third-highest individual total in the league. Warren upheld a similar standard of excellence throughout her career on the volleyball court and capped an impressive four-year stretch in which she anchored the Seton Hall defense with yet another exceptional season. Even without the distinctive libero jersey, one would not have had to look very hard to find Warren on the floor as she continued to make plays at an unprecedented rate. One season after being named BIG EAST Libero of the Year and earning a Second Team All-Conference nod, she seized the opportunity to establish herself as the premier player at her position in a new-look league, making her way onto the All-BIG EAST First Team and garnering a second-straight Libero of the Year award. Also named Freshman and Junior Female Athlete of the Year during her time in South Orange, Warren led the BIG EAST with 639 digs as a senior; nearly 100 more than the runner-up. In a victory over Columbia on September 21, she recorded 27 digs – one of 16 20+ digs performances the Joliet native registered in 2013 – usurping the top spot on the program’s all-time digs list from current assistant coach Allie Matters in the process. As a team co-captain, Warren played in all 31 matches for the Pirates and by season’s end, she pushed her career total to an unrivaled 2,381 digs; becoming the first Seton Hall player to surpass the 2,000-digs plateau. Josh Prevost becomes the second-straight Pirates’ pitJosh Prevost became the second-straight Pirates’ pitcher to win the men’s award after former Seton Hall hurler and current Philadelphia Phillies prospect Jon Prosinski earned the distinction in 2012-13. A consensus All-American, Prevost amassed a gaudy 12-2 record for a squad that finished the season with an impressive 39-15 record. His 12 wins led the conference and tied Seton Hall’s single-season record. The 6-foot-8 right-hander baffled opposing hitters all season, striking out 111 batters in 116.1 innings; both

totals which lead the BIG EAST and rank among the top single-season performances by a Seton Hall pitcher. A Golden Spikes Awards semifinalist, Prevost led the BIG EAST in wins (12), earned-run average (1.62), innings pitched (116.1), strikeouts (111), opponent batting average (.158), complete games (six) and shutouts (three). Named BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week on six separate occasions in 2014, the Belle Meade product’s excellence has transcended the confines of the conference landscape. After striking out a career-high 13 batters in a two-hit shutout that kicked-off a three-game sweep of Villanova, Prevost was named National Player of the Week. In addition to these awards, swimmer Joey Lacus (Wethersfield, Conn.) was selected to receive the Student Most Valuable Pirate Award. Every year at the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Awards Banquet, a member of the Athletics staff is given the Most Valuable Pirate Award in recognition of their service to the department. The Student Most Valuable Pirate Award highlights a senior student-athlete who has displayed leadership and dedication, and made exemplary contributions not only in the field of competition, but also in the classroom and in the Seton Hall community. In his time at The Hall, Lacus has immersed himself in a number of different facets of athletics, embodying what it means to be a Pirate. A team captain and school record holder in the pool, the Wethersfield native served as SAAC President in 2013-14. A three-time BIG EAST Academic AllStar, he also held the position of President within the Pirate Blue Student Club for the last two years, a continuation of his extensive work with the department’s fundraising vehicle. The banquet also included academic recognition from Director of Academic Support Services Matthew Geibel. Men’s cross country captain Carl Johnston (Surrey, British Columbia) and women’s golfer Hannah Basalone (Brea, Calif.) were honored as the Scholar Athletes of the Year, a distinction given to the female and male senior student-athletes with the highest cumulative GPAs. Special recognition was also given to men’s basketball’s Patrik Auda (Brno, Czech Republic), Kevin Matthews (Ambler, Pa.) of men’s soccer and women’s tennis player Chloe Sher (Tin Shui Wai, Hong Kong) who have been nominated for BIG EAST Scholar Athlete of the Year awards. Geibel also announced Seton Hall’s 27 recipients of an Academic Merit Award, given to senior student-athletes who have maintained at least a 3.2 cumulative grade point average, a list that included representation from 12 different varsity teams.

THE STUDENT-ATHLETE EXPERIENCE

LEADERSHIP FORUM

The Seton Hall University Department of Athletics hosted its Third-Annual Leadership Forum for current student-athletes on Thursday, March 27, welcoming a group of four distinguished alumni to Walsh Gymnasium for a night of discussion, interaction and networking opportunities. The decorated panel of professionals included Bob Ley ’76 of ESPN, Jim O’Brien ’82, the Senior Managing Partner of Napier Park Global Capital, former swimmer Shannon Morris ‘92/M.A. ’94 who now heads the Sigma Group and Bob Sloan MBA ’86, a Senior Marketing & eCommerce Executive with over 25 years of experience at telecommunications leader AT&T. Throughout the evening, the panelists shared unique insight derived from their own experiences en route to becoming industry leaders. Consistent with the vision behind the introduction of the event, student-athletes in attendance spent the majority of the event participating in an open discussion that ranged in focus from optimizing one’s time as a student to measures that aspiring professionals can take in order to differentiate themselves in a job market saturated with comparable candidates. During the discussion which was moderated by noted entrepreneur Glenn Horine, the panelists were asked to share their personal thoughts on being proactive during the undergraduate

years, how to best network and create valuable, lasting relationships in an increasingly digitalized business environment and the importance of being prepared and having an educated plan while embarking on their professional careers.

and professional development is our primary objective and we are extremely grateful to have had such an impressive group of alums offer their time and come back to participate in this year’s event.”

Another recurring theme of the dialogue was how translatable and marketable the skills acquired and developed during the studentathlete experience are when transitioning into the work force and how to best present those competencies in the job seeking process.

“I think our student-athlete base recognized how beneficial the leadership forum can be,” he continued. “The fact that all our speakers were in their shoes at one time as students here at Seton Hall and have risen to the height of their respective fields definitely helped the message home. Our student-athletes were engaged throughout the program and their interactions showed an appreciation for the value of the first-hand knowledge that was being made available to them and a desire to extract as much information as possible.”

In addition to the question and answer session as a part of the formal event, there was also a reception held in the Walsh Lobby where the student-athletes were afforded an opportunity to have one-on-one conversation with each of the speakers. Now a staple of the Helping Athletes Learn to be Leaders (H.A.L.L.) Program calendar, the forum was opened to student-athletes of all classes for the first time; and saw all 13 varsity teams who were not in competition represented. “This event embodies the essence of what we aim to accomplish through the H.A.L.L. Program,” said Roberto Sasso, Assistant Athletics Director / Student-Athlete Development & Leadership. “Continuing to expose our student-athletes to opportunities that will aid their personal

“As Seton Hall student-athletes, we are extremely fortunate to have programs such as this available to us,” added Joey Lacus, a senior swimmer and President of the StudentAthlete Advisory Council. “Events like this are representative of the commitment the athletic department has to helping us succeed even when we are done competing. As a senior who is preparing to go out and start my career, I can say the feedback from the panelists spoke directly to what I am going through now and a lot of what they shared will help shape my approach moving forward.”

PIRATE BLUE THANK-A-THON

The Pirate Blue Athletic Fund held its fourth annual Student-Athlete Thank-A-Thon on Thursday, April 10 in the Seton Hall Sports Polling Center. All 14 Seton Hall athletic programs were represented as 30 student-athletes volunteered their time to call Pirate Blue donors to thank them for their financial support of Seton Hall Athletics. “The Thank-A-Thon is an important component of our development efforts and it’s great to see our student-athletes embrace this new tradition,” said Pat Lyons, Director of Athletics. “It offers a unique opportunity for our student-athletes to reach out and thank those donors who contribute

each year to Pirate Blue, while also educating them on the importance of private support and the impact it has on their experience at Seton Hall.” The student-athletes were able to call approximately 1,100 donors during the night to thank them for all their annual contributions to Pirate Blue. Throughout the evening, each student-athlete delivered a simple but sincere message: “Thank You.” Pirate Blue donors should know that regardless of their gift amount, their contributions make a difference in the studentathletes lives. The next time the phone rings, it might very well be a Seton Hall student-athlete calling to say thank you. Seton Hall Athletics 2013-14 Annual Report

SETON HALL ATHLETICS 2013-14 Annual Report

BIG EAST CONFERENCE

The brainchild of former Providence College men’s basketball coach and athletic director Dave Gavitt, the BIG EAST Conference became a reality on May 31, 1979, as Providence, St. John’s, Georgetown, Syracuse, Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College formed the original seven-school alliance. While the membership has evolved, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad-based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a steadfast emphasis on academic integrity. In 2012, the seven BIG EAST schools that do not compete in FBS football decided to return to the type of conference alignment that existed when Gavitt helped form the league in 1979 and quickly surged to national prominence as a college basketball force. On December 15, 2012, these seven institutions (DePaul University, Georgetown University, Marquette University, Providence College, St. John’s University, Seton Hall University and Villanova University) announced their intention to separate from the football-playing schools in the previous BIG EAST and form an independent association. On March 20, 2013, the seven schools reached an agreement that enabled them to keep the BIG EAST name and establish a new conference entity beginning on July 1, 2013. The schools also assumed the old conference’s long-term agreement with Madison Square Garden to host the BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Tournament, one of the premier events in college athletics. The schools also announced the addition of three distinguished institutions that share the same academic and athletic values -- Butler University, Creighton University and Xavier University -- and forged a landmark, long-term broadcast partnership with FOX Sports. FOX Sports and its recently established national cable network, FOX Sports 1, acquired the television rights to all BIG EAST contests in all sports in early 2013. The television agreement helped usher in the new BIG EAST era by making the league accessible to a national audience with complete coverage of all BIG EAST men’s basketball regular-season and Tournament contests. A selection of regular-season women’s basketball games as well as the semifinals and final of the BIG EAST Tournament were all shown via the FOX Networks, which reaches 90 million homes. Soccer, lacrosse, softball and baseball also had their conference championships aired on the FOX Sports channels in 2013-14. Dividends were paid immediately as BIG EAST teams enjoyed a significant jump in the number of nationally televised games on their schedules, with many seen on countrywide broadcasts four times as frequently as seasons past.

Ackerman was named the BIG EAST’s fifth Commissioner on June 26, 2013, following Gavitt, the Conference’s first Commissioner who served until 1990, Michael Tranghese, John Marinatto and Mike Aresco. Tranghese was the league’s first full-time employee and the right-hand man to Gavitt for 11 years, taking over for Gavitt as Commissioner until 2009. Marinatto was the third Commissioner of the BIG EAST, serving from 2009-2012, when he was succeeded by Aresco. It was with the BIG EAST’s founder and first commissioner in mind when Ackerman, who previously served as President of USA Basketball and was the founding President of the WNBA, teamed with Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany to establish the Gavitt Tipoff Games. Beginning in 2015-16, the Gavitt Tipoff Games will be an annual early-season series of eight men’s basketball games played between the two conferences. The BIG EAST will embark on its second year as a 10-team consortium in 2014-15. The league, which has always competed with integrity and sportsmanship at the highest levels of intercollegiate sports, began a new era in 2013-14, returning to its heritage, focusing athletically on basketball while forging into the future with leadership and vision. The 2013-14 academic year marked the BIG EAST’s first season since realignment. The conference crowned champions in 22 sports last year, the 35th season in its history, with its studentathletes achieving success in the classroom as well as the athletic arena. Eight different schools won regular-season titles, including first-year member Creighton, which claimed the baseball regularseason crown, and 10 different schools won BIG EAST postseason championships. Fellow newcomer Xavier won the BIG EAST Baseball Championship. The Musketeers were one of 34 different BIG EAST teams to earn NCAA Championship bids in 2013-14, with a remarkable nine teams (five men, four women) earning invites to the NCAA Soccer Tournaments. Nine different national postseason championships saw multiple BIG EAST teams participate, including four league squads in men’s basketball and women’s cross country, and two in volleyball, women’s basketball, men’s cross country, field hockey and women’s lacrosse. Additionally, a plethora of individuals earned national postseason invitations in tennis, cross country and track and field.

Starting in 2014-15, the BIG EAST and FOX Sports will launch a digital platform which will include 30 regular-season women’s basketball games and over 80 Olympic sport contests, including postseason championship coverage. Fans will be able to access the live broadcasts as well as feature content and highlights free of charge.

Two BIG EAST teams and one individual performer won NCAA Championships in 2013-14, beginning with the Providence women’s cross country team. The Friars claimed their second national championship in program history, as three PC runners were tabbed All-Americans and 30th-year head coach Ray Treacy was named National Coach of the Year by the USTFCCCA. Affiliate member Connecticut won its third NCAA title in field hockey in 2013, with Nancy Stevens named NFHCA National Coach of the Year and Marie Elena Bolles National Player of the Year.

BIG EAST institutions are located in seven of the nation’s top 35 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Indianapolis, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. Under the direction of Commissioner Val Ackerman, the BIG EAST moved its headquarters prior to the 2013-14 academic year from its original location in Providence, R.I., to Midtown Manhattan in New York City.

Including the three Friar runners, 83 BIG EAST studentathletes across 16 sports were named All-Americans in 201314, including Villanova’s Emily Lipari. A four-time All-American in 2013-14, Lipari won the national title in the mile at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in March, marking the Wildcats’ 20th indoor national champion.

In March, all eyes were on the hardwood as the BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Tournament returned to Madison Square Garden for the 32nd consecutive season. It was a tale of old versus new as conference charter member Providence advanced to the BIG EAST Championship for the first time in 20 years, while first-year participant Creighton, led by consensus National Player of the Year Doug McDermott, marched its way through the opening rounds to reach the final in its BIG EAST Tournament debut. In the end, the Friars, led by All-American Bryce Cotton, captured their first title since 1994. Cotton won the Dave Gavitt Trophy as the BIG EAST Tournament Most Outstanding Player. Along with the Bluejays and Friars, Villanova and Xavier earned NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament bids, while on the women’s side, BIG EAST Tournament and regular-season champion DePaul punched its NCAA ticket, along with runnerup St. John’s. The BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Tournament was held for the first time at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill., as the Blue Demons claimed their first tourney title in league history in front of a hometown crowd. Successful strides were made academically as well, as 10 BIG EAST student-athletes were named CoSIDA Academic AllAmericans, including four first-team members. Butler’s Katie Clark and Mara Olson (cross country, track and field) and Marquette’s Charlie Lyon (soccer) and Katie Reigle (soccer) all garnered first-team honors. The triumphs enjoyed by the BIG EAST in 2013-14 add to an already illustrious legacy steeped in men’s basketball and expanded to other sports since the conference’s founding. BIG EAST men’s basketball teams have enjoyed extraordinary success over the years. Georgetown, Marquette and Villanova have won the national championship, and DePaul, Providence, St. John’s and Seton Hall have all made it to the Final Four. The BIG EAST placed three men’s basketball teams in the Final Four in 1985 - Georgetown, St. John’s and Villanova -- the only time this has occurred in NCAA history. Over the past 11 years, Butler, Georgetown, Marquette and Villanova have each reached the Final Four, with Butler making two trips (in 2010 and 2011). Xavier has also advanced to the Elite Eight twice and the Sweet 16 three other times. BIG EAST student-athletes have achieved recent success in other sports, as well. A BIG EAST team has won the NCAA women’s cross country championship four of the last five years (Villanova won twice; Providence and Georgetown once), with one runnerup finish (Providence). Creighton’s men’s soccer team has reached the NCAA College Cup in two of the past three seasons. Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 36 national championships in six different sports, and 138 student-athletes have won individual national titles through 2013-14. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for the conference and BIG EAST student-athletes. BIG EAST student-athletes sport significantly high graduation rates, and the league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. Seton Hall Athletics 2013-14 Annual Report

hall of fame On the evening of Wednesday, June 18, Seton Hall Athletics honored the 1988-89 men’s basketball squad by inducting the entire team into the university’s Athletics Hall of Fame during a ceremony held inside Historic Walsh Gymnasium. Following the recent the 25th anniversary of their historic season, the now iconic team becomes the first in the 41-year history of the Hall of Fame to be collectively inducted. “We have instituted the Hall of Fame ceremony as an annual event in an effort to recognize those who made an exceptional impact on athletics here at Seton Hall,” Director of Athletics Patrick Lyons said. “Certainly nobody is more deserving than this group and with this being the 25th anniversary of their outstanding run we felt this would be a fitting time to induct our first team and commemorate their remarkable achievements.” Led in part by head coach P.J. Carlesimo as well as seniors John Morton and Ramon Ramos who already resided in the Hall of Fame as individuals, the 1988-89 Pirates helped shape the modern era of athletics at Seton Hall with their transcendent run to the national title game. A group rife with some of the most recognizable names ever to don the blue & white, players honored also included Anthony Avent, Michael Cooper, Trevor Crowley, Andrew Gaze, Gerald Greene, Khyiem Long, Nick Katsikis, Rene Monteserin, Jose Rebimbas, Frantz Volcy, Daryll Walker and Pookey Wigington. Assistant coaches Rod Baker, John Carroll, Bruce Hamburger and Tom Sullivan, former Athletic Director Larry Keating and student managers Wayne Brooks, Anthony Chaves, Chris Crowell, Robert Duffy, Dave Flood, Clark Holle, Lou LaForgia and Felix Roman were recognized for their valued contributions as well. “I think it’s great for the ‘89 team to be recognized by Seton Hall University,” said Morton. “It’s always good to see the guys and come together. This is a big night.”

PIRATE BLUE GIVING: BY THE NUMBERS DONOR MATCHING DAY

Pirate Blue’s third annual Donor Matching Day that occurred on Wednesday, April 30 generated record setting contributions for a single day in the athletic fund’s three decade history, thanks to the loyal supporters of Seton Hall Athletics. Donations poured in non-stop for 24 hours from nearly 450 alumni, family and friends of the program, donating a total that exceeded $193,000, all of which will play a vital role in enhancing the overall experience for Seton Hall studentathletes. Pirate Blue reached its overarching goal of receiving donations from supporters in all 50 states in order to meet the challenge

of one generous, anonymous donor who contributed $50,000 for the achievement. It took nearly 21 hours to complete the initiative with Hawaii, on a six-hour lag, coming in with the final donation around 9 p.m. eastern. However, the tremendous support of the Pirate faithful stretched beyond the United States borders, it became an international effort as the furthest donation was received from a proud alumnus currently serving the nation in Afghanistan. This historic day for the Pirate Blue Athletic Fund was made possible from the generosity of RTB Media which matched 30% of donations made on April 30. In

total, there was a 50% increase of Pirate Blue donors from last year’s event and the donation total escalated 170%. “The camaraderie of alumni and friends of the program elevated Donor Matching Day to a new level,” said Director of Athletics Patrick Lyons. “The generosity of our faithful supporters was overwhelming with a special thanks to RTB Media and the anonymous donor who infused excitement to the day with our 50 state challenge.

PIRATE PRIDE CHALLENGE The second annual Pirate Pride Challenge took place during the early months of 2014. This year the PPC was formatted as a bracket-style fundraising contest between all current and former studentathletes to help their teams. Each month teams matched up against another Pirate program, and competed for the higher participation rate from all current and former Student-Athletes. It commenced on Saturday, January 25, the night of the annual Pirate Varsity Club Event, and completed on Saturday, May 31 Statistics were cumulative throughout the PPC, as teams matched up against different opponents.

Women’s soccer also had the best improvement rate from the 2013 PPC of any other Pirate program in one of two secondary competitions. For their efforts women’s soccer was also awarded a $2,500 gift, as they had a 9.6% increase in alumni giving in 2014 in comparison to 2013.

WHY WE GIVE Seton Hall will always be near and dear to my heart. Donating to Pirate Blue is one of the best ways for the growing Pirate community to come together. I am grateful for the resources that were made available to me as a student-athlete and feel that it’s my turn to give back. Jenna Best ‘08

Giving to Pirate Blue has many benefits but none greater than seeing the benefit my gift has on the student-athletes. The opportunity to meet these hard working students at various events, makes giving to various projects such as the Academic Center a must as I know it will be directly helping these student-athletes. Robert Fetterly (pictured in middle) We give back to both academic programs and to Pirate Blue whenever we can. It’s important to help the school remain competitive in all aspects of higher education, particularly academics and athletics. ‘Barbara and Glen Kallas ‘85’

My family and I take great pride in supporting my alma mater by giving to Pirate Blue, attending events and being a season ticket holder for men’s basketball games. Our student-athletes are exceptional young men and women who are outstanding ambassadors for the University. Seton Hall’s Athletic Department and our student-athletes promote the real purpose and balance of academics and intercollegiate athletic competition, which deserves our support as alumni. Jack Lavery ‘68 (pictured far left)

There are so many reasons I give back to Pirate Blue. I met my wife at Seton Hall and our experience at basketball games and athletic events have always been some of our favorite college memories. We have been season ticket holders since we graduated and still attend games with many of our college friends. Our student-athletes do a tremendous job representing the university and it gives us great pride to be able to support the Athletic Department. George Manuelian ‘93 (pictured far left)

I support Pirate Blue because I believe that a strong academic and athletic program will continue to attract top talent to my alma mater. It is rewarding for me to see how my contributions have had a direct impact on the SHU student facilities that are on par with many top tier universities.

PRIDE & EXCELLENCE CAMPAIGN With a tradition of nationally-ranked teams in both men’s and women’s sports, All-America and All-Academic recognition for our student-athletes, and a growing number of alumni garnering headlines in the professional ranks, it is an exciting time to be associated with Pirate Athletics. Seton Hall University Athletics is in the midst of its first major comprehensive campaign to raise funds for essential student-athlete facility projects and renovations, and we are reaching out to our loyal alumni and friends for your support of our Pride & Excellence campaign. Pirate Pride defines what it means to be a Pirate. It was, and continues to be, that same pirate pride that guides us in our every day activity now. We have also made it our mission to achieve excellence in everything we do as it is our leading principle in our everyday department activity. We will always strive to have Pirate Pride and Excellence in everything we do. Therefore, what we have now is the “Pride and Excellence” campaign for Seton Hall Athletics. The initial projects have already been constructed, with a new athletic training room and the Charles W. Doehler Academic Center for Excellence completed in 2013. The next step will be the construction of new locker room facilities for all of Seton Hall’s Olympic sports, a committed space for the Seton Hall Athletic Hall of Fame and enhancements to historic Walsh Gymnasium. Your annual support of Pirate Blue will continue to remain critical to Seton Hall University Athletics success, while the Pride & Excellence campaign will enable us to raise capital funds for larger facility projects on a regular basis. Your generous support of the Seton Hall Athletics Capital Campaign will play a key role in the continuing advancement of our entire athletic program and in the lives of more than 200 young men and women who wear a Seton Hall uniform.

DONORS TO THE PRIDE & EXCELLENCE CAMPAIGN For many years, the Pirate Blue Athletic Fund has been the primary driving force behind Seton Hall University’s continued growth in athletics. However, Pirate Blue contributions make up only a portion of the department‘s annual operating budget, and the competitive landscape in college athletics has raised the bar nationwide. Capital giving is an additional opportunity to support Seton Hall’s athletic programs. Pirate Blue is proud to recognize those who have gone the extra mile in support of the Pirates. All gifts and pledges to our past capital projects and the current Pride & Excellence Campaign are essential to the overall success of our teams and programs.

PRIDE & EXCELLENCE CAMPAIGN: COMPLETED PROJECTS

CENTER FOR SPORTS MEDICINE The new Center for Sports Medicine serves as a cutting-edge on-site medical facility exclusively for intercollegiate student-athletes. It features an expansion of the old training center along with the addition of cutting-edge fitness and medical apparatuses. Such equipment includes three 14-foot in-ground Hydro Worx tubs that will supplement and greatly enhance rehabilitation efforts. Of these tubs, one is a “Polar Plunge” and one is a “Thermal Plunge,” providing the full spectrum of care. The third includes a state-of-the-art underwater treadmill. In addition to operating with variable water depths, the tub features a video system allowing for real-time monitoring of the student-athlete’s progress on the treadmill both above and beneath the water line. New treatment tables and taping stations have also been installed and the repurposed space includes offices for the Seton Hall sports medicine staff and the Pirates’ physicians.

CHARLES W. DOEHLER ACADEMIC CENTER Seton Hall Athletics recently opened the doors of the all-new Charles W. Doehler Academic Center for Excellence, greatly expanding the academic support options available to the more than 200 varsity student-athletes currently representing the university. Named for Seton Hall Athletics Hall of Famer and alumnus Charles Doehler, the space is more than twice the size than that previously dedicated to academic support and is replete with amenities aimed at facilitating the educational process. The completely renovated area includes two group meeting rooms, two private tutoring areas, and a set of study lounges and offices for the academic support staff as well as the director of student-athlete development. Each section features a sleek design and is filled with modern furniture as well as a host of Seton Hallspecific branding. Also included are branded plaques with inscriptions honoring past Seton Hall athletic and academic award winners that are hung prominently along the center’s corridors.

PRIDE & EXCELLENCE CAMPAIGN: COMPLETED PROJECTS FITNESS CENTER Over 12,000 square feet in total size, the fitness center is housed in an entirely new space following a multifaceted expansion to the structure of the Athletic Center. The two-tier facility boasts new men’s and women’s locker rooms, dual dedicated cardio stations as well as an array of circuit and free weight training options. The space is encased by a sleek glass façade which not only provides a view onto campus but also allows for natural lighting; serving the modern look, feel and functionality of the space as a whole. “We are thrilled to officially open our new Fitness Center,” said Patrick Lyons, Director of Athletics and Recreation Services. “Made possible by the generous support of the University and countless others who contributed to an extensive renovation process, we believe it rivals the top recreational facilities in the Northeast. The state-of-the-art fitness center is the largest of several recently completed capital improvement projects within the Richie Regan Athletic Center. The entire University community will benefit from the enhanced offerings of our recreational services program as this facility will stand as a cornerstone of Seton Hall Athletics and hub for recreational activity for years to come.” More than a simple relocation or re-design, the fitness center has been lined with a fleet of cutting-edge fitness equipment that improves the facility’s ability to meet the demands of the University community and will offer an enhanced workout experience as well. Each cardio apparatus is equipped with a customizable high-definition screen that can be used to watch live television, incorporate a variety of built-in, interactive fitness programs or connect to a mobile device while in use. Also included is a set of dance studios, both over 1,250 square feet in size. Among other functions, the studios will be home to a greatly expanded catalogue of regularly-scheduled, organized fitness courses

MEN’S BASKETBALL LOCKER ROOM & NEW SCOREBOARD

The men’s basketball locker room underwent a major facelift in 2012. The extensive improvements to the facility resulted in a renovation of nearly every space, including upgrades to the meeting and video room, lounge, kitchen, and the team’s lockers.

As part of the Pride & Excellence Capital Campaign, the Pirates were greeted last year with a striking new presence on Owen T. Carroll Field where a comprehensive new scoreboard has landed.

The new locker room space now features hard wood flooring, with the Pirate emblem on display in the center of the new floor. The mahogany lockers provide ample storage space and the unique branding feature of a transparent whicker Pirate logo in the storage area beneath the benches.

The new scoreboard, which was utilized for Seton Hall soccer and baseball games, features a 10’x16’ cutting-edge LED video board that has greatly enhanced the in-game viewing experience for Pirate fans both in attendance and watching live on the Pirate Sports Network.

PERFORMANCE TRAINING CENTER/ WEIGHT ROOM Construction has begun on a brand new performance training center / varsity weight room.

This state of the art performance training center and weight room will include branded free weights, platforms, benches, sprint track, cardio equipment and punching bags. The new space will allow for a better flow of a workout along with having the ability of splitting the room based upon upper body equipment and lower body equipment. The new center will be triple the size of our current weight room and allow for multiple teams to be in the room at the same time. This project is set to be completed by Spring 2015.

TEAM VIDEO ROOM Planned to be completed in January 2015, construction has begun on creating a dedicated video room for use by all of Seton Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic teams. Built in an amphitheater style, this will allow a space for all teams to meet, hear lectures or watch game film. The room will feature 40 custom leather seats with Pirate athletic branding and a projection system with surround sound.

Seton Hall Sports Properties is Learfield Sports’ local, dedicated entity representing the Pirates. In complete collaboration with the university, this team is committed to extending the affinity of the Seton Hall brand to businesses and corporations of all sizes looking to align with the undeniably loyal and passionate collegiate fan base. As Seton Hall University Athletics’ exclusive multimedia rights holder, Seton Hall Sports Properties manages all aspects of the rights relationship, providing corporate partners both traditional and new media opportunities with the Pirates in which to bolster their own brand and garner maximum exposure through inventory such as venue signage; event sponsorships and promotion; corporate hospitality; television; digital engagement and visibility via the official athletics website; and radio game broadcasts and coaches’ shows on the Pirate Sports Network.

Barnabas Health, the state’s largest hospital and health care system, was named “Official Health Care Provider” of Seton Hall Athletics, further expanding its longstanding relationship with the University. Barnabas Health provides health and wellness services to the University’s Athletics Department, including the Seton Hall Pirates’ 14 NCAA Division I intercollegiate men’s and women’s teams, club sports, intramurals and staff. Working closely with the director of sports medicine, team doctors and athletics administration, Barnabas Health offers access to a myriad of specialists for students, faculty and staff as well as health education, wellness and fitness programs to keep

students healthy while providing the best care possible. “We are excited to officially align the Seton Hall Athletic Department with a leader in the health care industry in Barnabas Health,” said Director of Athletics Patrick Lyons. “The wide array of services and health education Barnabas Health will offer the entire Seton Hall University community through our partnership is a tremendous benefit. Specifically, the first-class care that will be provided to our student-athletes by Barnabas Health will complement one of our most recent facility upgrades in the state-of-the-art Center for Sports Medicine.“

PROMOTING THE PIRATES

The Seton Hall Athletic Department unveiled a fresh look for SHUPirates.com through its new partnership with the CBSSports.com College Network last year. The Pirates’ customized official athletics website was strategically designed to enhance functionality with a concise navigation. The new SHUPirates.com was built on a comprehensive digital network that will allow fans to consume the latest information on Seton Hall’s 14 athletic programs through a multitude of platforms. The ‘Connect’ tab is a one-stop destination that features all of Seton Hall athletics’ digital offerings (E-Newsletter, AD Newsletter, mobile alerts, social media, and iPhone, iPad and Android apps) where

fans can subscribe to their preferred method for keeping up with the Pirates. Additionally, the dropdown panel was revamped for easy navigation to specific pages, such as the ‘Sports’ menu where one touch of the mouse sends fans directly to their favorite team’s homepage, roster, schedule, stats or twitter page. The Pirate Sports Network embedded video player was also placed in a centralized location on the site, along with quick tabs located in the ‘Headlines’ box for easy access to the latest ondemand video content. The rapidly growing Pirate Sports Network produces a complete package of live event broadcasts, pre-game and post-game

Optimizing the mobile experience for Pirate fans is a central focus of the Seton Hall Athletic Department’s digital strategy. Through a newly formed partnership with CBSi Advanced Media, the Pirate Sports Network expanded distribution platforms bringing its live and on-demand video content to mobile and tablet devices in 2013-14.

S.H.I.P.S. (Seton Hall Interactive Point System) is a free mobile application for all students currently enrolled at Seton Hall University. This application provides its registered users with an instant access to all things Seton Hall Athletics, from home athletic contests to special events around campus.

commentary, highlights, and a variety of video features that spotlight Seton Hall’s teams and student-athletes. The complete fall 2014-15 Pirate Sports Network live broadcast schedule is available at PirateSportsNet.tv. One of the objectives for SHUPirates.com was to integrate a stronger social media presence for the Pirates into the site. Every team page is now customized with the program’s official Twitter and Facebook accounts. The @SHUAthletics twitter feed scrolls through the bottom of every page, and within the “sticky bar” there are icons linked to the Seton Hall Athletics Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.

A brand new “Official Seton Hall Athletics” mobile application is available in the App and Google Play Stores. Enhanced for iOS7 and Android 4.0+, Seton Hall Gameday Live is tailored to deliver the latest happenings around the Pirates’ 14 athletic programs in a new and improved way. The free application also features social media integration of The Hall’s official athletic accounts.

The goal of S.H.I.P.S. is to reward students who regularly attend home sporting events by accumulating points that will go towards great prizes, such as officially licensed Under Armour gear, food discounts, gift cards, and more! To receive housing at Seton Hall University students earn Priority Points, rewarding them for academic success and involvement on campus. Athletic events count toward the campus involvement component, and students enrolled in S.H.I.P.S. will receive Priority Points.
