President Brendan J. Dugan After 40 years in commercial banking, Brendan J. Dugan decided to return to his alma mater, St. Francis College, as President in 2008. He had served as Chairman of the College’s Board of Trustees before that, and as a member of the Board played a leading role in the College’s $40 million fundraising Campaign for Big Dreams. President Dugan’s last banking position was Chairman & CEO of Sovereign Bank’s Metro NY/NJ Division. Sovereign had recently acquired Independence Bank where Mr. Dugan worked since 2003. Prior to joining Independence, he served as Chief Operating Officer of Citibank Commercial Markets (2001-2003), President of European American Bank (1991-2001) and President and Chief Executive Officer of NatWest USA (1974-1991). While at each of these institutions, Mr. Dugan helped develop and manage the implementation of growth strategies in the areas of Commercial and Retail Banking, Leasing and Real Estate Lending, all of which are integral to the New York economy. Mr. Dugan is also a Director of Cox and Company, a manufacturer of aerospace parts for military and civil applications. Reflecting a commitment to community involvement, Mr. Dugan is a board member of the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Regional Plan Association, Partnership for New York City, the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, and the Futures in Education Endowment Fund.

St. Francis College St. Francis College was founded in 1859 as St. Francis Academy by a group of newly arrived Franciscan Brothers from Ireland. The Brother’s mission was to educate young men from working-class families in the Brooklyn Diocese. St. Francis Academy provided a sound education with a rigorous curriculum and personal support, all for a modest tuition, characteristics that endure today. In 1884, St. Francis College received its Charter from New York State establishing a literary college which could award diplomas, honors, and degrees. In 1926, St. Francis College built a larger campus near its original site in Cobble Hill, where it remained until the 1960s when the College relocated to its current site on Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights. The new location and opening the College’s doors up to women for the first time led to an influx of students from all five boroughs of New York City and beyond, doubling the student population. The cornerstone of the St. Francis College experience is academics. All students complete a core curriculum that offers a foundation for intellectual and professional growth; once completed, they choose from one of 74 majors, many in the liberal arts and others geared to specific professions, included a five year combined Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Accounting. An honors program serves students of high achievement and a broad scholarship program supports those who are likely to perform well academically. An NCAA-Division I institution, St. Francis College offers students the opportunity to play for any of 19 varsity men’s and women’s athletic teams, including its men’s basketball team, whose program is among the oldest in New York City. Teams compete in many well-known New York City venues such as the USTA National Tennis Center, home of the U.S. Open, Icahn Stadium on Randall’s Island and Aviator Sports at Floyd Bennett Field. Today, first-generation college-goers and students of all backgrounds are among St. Francis College’s diverse population. Its Catholic-Franciscan heritage, central to life at the College, allows faculty and administrators to embrace, support, and encourage all students as they pursue fulfillment of their dreams.

TERRIER SPORTS NETWORK (TSN) St. Francis (N.Y) will continue its partnerships with Stretch Internet for audio and video streaming on SFCathletics.com during the 2010-2011 campaign. In addition to broadcasting most men’s and women’s basketball games live, the network will feature interviews with coaches and student-athletes throughout the year while being free of charge for Terrier fans. “The Terrier faithful can follow all the live-action this season as we look forward to giving all our student-athletes the exposure that they deserve,” said Director of Athletics Irma Garcia. Seth Cantor will embark on his second season behind the microphone as the voice of the Terriers. Cantor graduated from Ithaca College with a Broadcast Journalism degree and commentated football, basketball and baseball contests for his alma mater. He has ventured to other colleges along the east coast, including stints with Manhattan College, St. John’s University, Cornell University, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy along with the City University of New York Athletic Conference but has found a home with the Terriers. “This past season has been outstanding,” Cantor says. “Irma Garcia leads a first-class department that has made me feel part of the Terrier family while the coaching staffs granted me unlimited access to their programs and been enthusiastic to our coverage from Day One. I am looking forward to upcoming seasons here in Brooklyn Heights.” All the behind-the-scenes aspects of the Terrier Sports Network will be headed by the production team led by recent graduate Ashley Kalmar. “Kalmar has done a great job in elevating the Terrier Sports Network to new heights,” says Brian Morales, Assistant Sports Information Director. “He finds a way to incorporate spectacular graphics along with an abundance of stats that keep you informed during the entire game.” In addition, Jaden Daly, who embarked on his first full season behind the microphone covering the men’s water polo, men’s soccer and women’s volleyball games this season, will be on board to assist the TSN team as public address announcer and assist Cantor on select games. This will be the ninth season that Terrier athletics can be heard online, the fourth season with Stretch Internet as St. Francis provider. Interested parties will need to install QuickTime audio, in order to hear and watch the games. QuickTime can be downloaded from Stretch’s website at www.stretchinternet.com All archived shows can be heard through ITunes, and fans will have the ability to purchase old broadcast through the Stretch Internet website.

Garcia’s leadership, compassion and dedication to the St. Francis College Department of Athletics has touched many and her induction to the College’s Hall of Fame in 2005 was a well deserved honor. In 1976, Garcia entered St. Francis College as a student-athlete on the women’s basketball team to play for St. Francis Hall of Fame Coach Diane Nolan. Upon graduation, Irma began her career as a physical education teacher and girls’ basketball coach at St. Joseph by the Sea on Staten Island.

During Irma’s 11-year tenure, her players and teams received many individual and collective honors. Under her guidance, 12 of her women’s basketball players were honored on post-season Northeast Conference (NEC) teams (four NEC First-Team All-Conference Players, two NEC SecondTeam All-Conference Players, five NEC All-Rookie Team Players, and one Newcomer of the Year). Five former players were inducted into the College’s Hall of Fame. Irma’s women’s basketball teams were also among the NCAA elite in the classroom.

Garcia also coached the first St. Francis women’s basketball player recruited to play professional basketball, Carolyn Harvey. After the 1997-98 season, Garcia was honored by her colleagues as the Northeast Conference Coach of the Year. In addition to her responsibilities as head women’s basketball coach, Garcia also served as the College’s Department of Athletics Senior Woman Administrator.

This past April, Garcia was recognized as one of the recipients of the 2010 “Mujeres Destacadas Award” by El Diario La Prensa, the premier publication serving New York-area Latinos. In addition she was the recipient of the ECAC’s 2009 Katherine Ley Award, which honors an ECAC woman athletics administrator who exemplifies the values and characteristics displayed by Katherine Ley.

In his junior year he was named MVP for the terrier men’s cross-country team and received the Coaches Award for the Outdoor track & field season.

He also worked and coached with City Parks track & field camps, PAL, NATS Kids, and in the summer of 2005 was named Empire State Games head coach for the New York City track & field team.

Rather, the primary focus is a concern for student athlete welfare and personal development. In a truly successful program, the student-athletes display and develop leadership qualities, excel in the classroom and in the competitive arena, conclude their careers as student-athletes with a degree, and take their

places in society as professionals in their chosen fields, all the while bringing credit to themselves and to St. Francis College. To achieve these goals of success, the Department of Athletics is committed to providing a high quality education, both on and off the field. The College provides its student-athletes with a system of resources and services, including facilities and equipment, quality coaching, the best medical care possible, and academic support.

he Terriers enter the 20102011 campaign looking to forget last season’s record and open with a fresh new outlook and demeanor. With the addition of several exciting newcomers along with the majority of last year’s squad coming back, Coach Brenda Milano and her staff believe that they can vie for a Northeast Conference championship. “This team has the potential to do something very special if everyone continues to work hard in practice,” said head coach Brenda Milano. “When adversity occurs we need to learn to lean on each other, pick each other up and help push each other through. We want to bring St. Francis a Northeast Conference championship. With a full roster of talented and determined girls along with my wonderful coaching staff, we have the caliber to compete with anyone in the Northeast Conference. A big key for us will be maintaining our composure and continuing to improve our chemistry throughout the season.” The frontcourt for the Terriers starts with the sophomore tandem of Autumn Lau and Kim Snauwaert. Lau was impressive in her first season starting in all 29 games while leading the team in scoring, rebounding and minutes played. The native of Mt. Wolf, Pennsylvania scored in double figures in 20 of 29 contests while gaining two Choice Hotels Northeast Conference Rookie of the Week accolades. Snauwaert, a 6’1 forward from Belgium, proved to be a force on both sides of the ball. Playing in 21 of 29 contests, Snauwaert scored a career high 16 points against Sacred Heart. On defense, she recorded four blocks on three separate occasions en route to leading the Terriers in that department with 35. It was the eighth highest block total in St. Francis College women’s basketball history. Senior Barbora Galandakova, will be looked upon to continue her defensive dominance

while increasing her offensive production. Last season in limited action, Galandakova was able to change the game with her defensive presence on numerous occasions. The three new additions to the frontcourt to help Lau and Snauwaert are Ashley Wilcots, Kiley Grabbe and Emily Siegart. Wilcots, a 6-1 forward, sat out the 2009-10 season after transferring from nearby Hofstra University. The native of Virginia Beach, Virginia, will provide an interior presence with her ability to rebound and block shots as well as scoring from the low post. Grabbe is a 6’2 forward/ center from Clearview Regional High School in Mullica Hill, New Jersey, where she averaged 11.9 points per game as well as pulling down 9.0 rebounds and swatting four shots a contest as a member of the Pioneers. “We are very excited about the signing of Kiley,” said Milano. “She will prove to be a dominant force in the post. At 6’2, she has good size and footwork to display her offensive skills, as well as being able to step out and connect on the 15’ foot shot. We are also excited about here strong defensive presence and court awareness.” Milano added. “Kiley has a tremendous work ethic and shows valuable leadership qualities that will prove to be a key factor for us next year.” Siegart stands at 6’1 and hails from Winnacunnet, New Hampshire. She can play either the four or five position and tallied nearly twelve points per contest while pulling down ten rebounds. “Emily has the ability to come in and make an immediate impact for us this season,” Milano stated. “Her ability to score in the post while also extending defenses with her ability to hit from three gives us a great chance to execute our game plan.” The Terriers will look to their senior trio to run the offense and play hardnosed defense this season. The group, which includes Jacinda Williams, Kayla Williams and Tiara Dunson have shown they have the ability to be game-changers and in order for the Terriers to be successful this season, all three need to adapt to their new roles as senior leaders. Sophomores Amber Lau and Stefanie Bingham will be asked to contribute on both sides of the ball with their hard-nose style of play. The coaching staff has done a tremendous job this off-season bringing in quality players to assist their three senior guards. Newcomers include Brooklyn product Jasmin Robinson, and Ozana Marginean, who will each contribute this season to the Terriers new look in 2010-11. Robinson, a native of Brooklyn, New York, played her high school ball at Medgar Evers Prepartory School for head coach Barney Davis. A speed demon of a floor leader and sparkplug, she averaged 15.0 ppg in her four years as a member of the Rams while pulling down 3.3 boards and dishing out 5.5 assists. Her best game for the Rams was during last season’s playoff run as she scored 31 points, dished out five assists and pulled down five rebounds against Evanders Child. She helped lead Medgar Evers to the 2009-10 PSAL A Division Championship after scoring 13 points and dishing out four assists in a 54-32 win over Wings Academy (3/20/10). Marginean comes to Brooklyn Heights from Brasov, Romania, where she has played amongst top talent on the European circuit. During the 2007-08 season, she led her team to the U-20 National Championship and the season before, she helped lead BC Galactica Brasov to the ICIM Arad National Vice Championship and a 3rd place finish in the European Championship in the B Division. Her best performance overseas was when she scored 18 points, four rebounds, eight assists and three steals.

Brenda Milano Head Coach:

Eighth Season

Hometown:

Boonton, N.J.

Alma Mater:

Wagner College, Seton Hall University

T E R R I E R S Brenda Milano enters her eighth season as head coach of the St. Francis College women’s basketball program. In her first season, she led the 2003-2004 Terriers to an eight win season. The next season, the wins steadily increased to ten, while guiding St. Francis to the 2005 Northeast Conference Quarterfinals. It was the Terriers first appearance since 1999. Milano’s coaching style helped transform a new atmosphere in Brooklyn Heights as the 2006-07 season proved to be a year to remember. Milano’s bunch recorded a 13-18 overall record, her most successful season to date. St. Francis would enter the Northeast Conference Tournament as the eight seed, taking on the Long Island University Blackbirds, the tournaments top seed. The Terriers would pull out the upset, as it was the first time that the school has qualified for the semi-finals as well as being the only # 8 seed to upset the # 1 seed in Northeast Conference Tournament history. Despite having three starters on the injured list, the 2007-08 Terriers were resilient and made it back to Northeast Conference tournament. In 2009-10, Milano was able to achieve personal milestones in her coaching career. The Terriers ended a three-year drought in the Battle of Brooklyn as they defeated Long Island University, giving Milano her 35th Northeast Conference victory. A month later, with a last second free-throw, St. Francis would stun 2008 Northeast Conference Champions, Robert Morris, giving Coach Milano her 50th career victory, the most wins by a St. Francis College women’s head coach. Milano gained her early coaching experience at Northeastern University as a graduate assistant and at Seton Hall University where she earned a master’s degree in sports management. Before coaching, Milano spent time at Integrated Sports International, sports marketing firm where she put to work her B.S. in marketing from Wagner College (1995). In 1998, Milano came to St. Francis College as

John Thurston

Assistant Coach First Season Hometown: Bronx, New York Alma Mater: Seton Hall ‘70 John Thurston joined the Terriers this summer as an assistant coach on Coach Brenda Milano’s 2010-11 staff. Thurston will begin his 38th overall season on the sidelines after spending the past two seasons at Fordham University. Thurston is one of only a few coaches who has been a Head Coach at the NCAA DI, DII, DIII and NAIA levels in 26 years of coaching men’s college basketball from 1971-1997. During the early 1970’s, Thurston’s Fairleigh Dickinson-Florham teams were known for their high scoring offense, averaging almost 100 points per game. “We are extremely fortunate to have someone with John’s experience and success join our staff,” says Milano. “He brings a great balance having coached on both the men’s and women’s side of Division 1 programs. His teams have gone to the NCAA tournament and his system for team defense have ranked them nationally. John will be extremely instrumental in spearheading our team defense along with post player development. I love the new style and energy that he brings.” During the following ten years as an assistant and three as Head Coach at James Madison University, the Dukes went to four NCAA tournaments and one NIT. For his tremendous efforts in the 1986-87 season, Thurston was named the Colonial Athletic Association “Coach of the Year.” In nine years at Wingate University he served the dual role of Athletic Director and Head Basketball Coach and is credited with moving the athletic department from NAIA status to nationally competitive NCAA DII affiliation. From 2001-2003 Thurston held the position of General Manager at Atlanta’s Suwanee Sports Academy establishing widely respected basketball training programs and bringing national events such as the adidas Showtime Championships and adidas Top Ten All-Star game to the Atlanta area. After four years on the high school level, he returned to collegiate coaching in the fall of 2003 on Ann Hancock’s UNC-Wilmington staff and has been involved with the women’s game for seven years on both the major and small college levels. Thurston spent some time at Northwood University in West Palm Beach, Fla. At Northwood he developed the school’s first ever women’s basketball program. In their first two seasons of competition, the Seahawks, with twelve freshmen won back to back conference championships and had an appearance at the NAIA National Championships in Sioux City, Iowa. Thurston was named Florida Sun Conference “Coach of the Year” in 2008. In two years his recruits garnered two “Player’s of the Year,” one “Rookie of the Year” and six All-Conference awards. Thurston has gained respect through the years as an evaluator and developer of talent, ranging from NBA players, six overall NBA draft choices, seven European professionals, four “Rookies of the Year”, three “Players of the Year”, one “Defensive Player of the Year”, eighteen All-Conference selections, three 2000 pt. scorers and eight 1000 pt scorers. A 1966 graduate of Archbishop Molloy High School he was an All-City performer in both baseball and basketball and was a 1966 draft choice of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He continued his education at Seton Hall University where he played both baseball and basketball and was awarded the John F Kennedy Award in 1970 for the school’s outstanding student-athlete. He and his wife, Candice, have been married for 39 years and have two daughters, Clancy and Corey and three grandchildren, Jack, Rhone, Luke.

History of the Women’s Basketball Program

Athletic Hall of Fame Women’s Basketball

St. Francis College boasts one of the oldest basketball programs among New York City’s colleges. St. Francis put its first players on the court in 1896, only five years after Dr. Naismith invented the game. From the college’s inception in 1859 until September 1969, St. Francis was an all-boys’ school. The fall semester of 1969 marked the first time laywomen were admitted to the college. In 1973, five years later, the first St. Francis College women’s basketball team was formed.

Christine Cunningham (91-95) Pamela J. Curcio (85-90) Patricia Dolan Boyle (83-87) Rosemary Downing McCullagh (80-84) Patrice Erving (91-95) Karen Erving-Schiera (87-91) Margaret Flannery-Alaimo (84-86) Irma Garcia (player: 76-80,) (coach: 88-99) Claire F. Guerriero-Mitchell (90-93) Jane Harkins McDade (75-79) Elaine M. Hunt (83-87) Catherine Howley O’Brien (75-79) Mary Kawas Rotolo (82-86) Sharon McAdams (77-81) Patricia Moffatt Lesser (73-76) Coach Diane Nolan (74-79) Jean Riker O’Leary (73-76) Jeanne Zatorski (75-79)

The first women’s basketball coach was Christine McGowan, who led the team to a 9-5 record in its inaugural year. Jeanne Zatorski was the first woman in St. Francis College history to score more than 1,000 points in her collegiate career (1975-79). The 1975-76 season gave the women’s team their first postseason play-off bid. That season, the team also turned in the highest win total in school history with 16. In 1977-78, the team played in their first regional tournament, where they eventually lost to Fordham University and ended the season with a 14-13 record. The most prolific scorer, male or female, to wear a St. Francis basketball uniform was Karen Erving (’87-91). During her four-year Terrier career, Erving amassed 1,929 career points. In addition to owning the school’s all-time scoring record, Erving also holds career records in rebounds, field goals made, field goals attempted and free throws attempted. Former Terrier coach Christine Cunningham ‘(91-95) was one of the most dominant players in St. Francis women’s basketball history; she currently ranks among the leaders in most of the school’s women’s basketball records. In the last five years, four prolific players have etched their names in St. Francis College history. Katja Bavendam ’08 is the all-time career leader in block shots with 236 , while also setting a new career mark for rejections in a season with 93, as she accomplished that milestone during the 2006-2007 season in addition to becoming the 11th member of the 1,000 point scorers club. Tiffany Hill ’08, the second leading scorer in St. Francis history with 1,764 and 10th member of the 1,000 point club, enjoyed a stellar career in Brooklyn Heights. Hill was named to the 2004-05 All-Rookie Team, and followed up with a 2005-06 and 2007-08 NEC Second Team All-Conference selection while being ranked 10th in three-point field goals in the entire NCAA in 2008. Galloway, New Jersey native Kara Ayers ’09, was the 12th member of the 1,000 point club, while attaining the second-highest free-throw percentage for a career at 79%, and the third highest free-throw percentage for a season at close to 85% (137 of 162). Kristen Miah ’09, the Chester, Pennsylvania native set a career total of 431 assists, thanks to a remarkable 2006-07 and 2008-09 season in which Miah dished out 138 and 131 assist, respectively.

Year-long Promotional Plans Announced

The logo will be prominently featured in all of the NEC’s broadcast, digital, social and print media platforms throughout the 2010-11 campaign. The mark will also be displayed at conference championships and special events.

To further commerorate the milestone, a host of promotional and multimedia activities will take place in 2010-11 as the Conference pays tribute to its rich heritage. “The Northeast Conference has grown tremendously over the last 30 years, and we are excited to use this anniversary to recognize and celebrate the historical accomplishments of our student-athletes, coaches and administrators,” said Morris, now in her second year as Commissioner of the conference. “Additionally, the unveiling of the NEC Hall of Fame will give us a forum to continue to celebrate those achievements on an annual basis.” When the Northeast Conference was first established as the ECACMetro Conference in 1981, the league’s founders had one simple goal in mind: to create a competitive Division I men’s basketball conference for unaffiliated schools - which included charter members and current NEC institutions Fairleigh Dickinson, Long Island, Robert Morris, St. Francis (NY), Saint Francis (PA) and Wagner - on the Eastern seaboard. A singlesport entity at its inception, even the league’s most ardent supporters during its formative years could not have envisioned a transformation into a burgeoning 12-member, 23-sport conference. Now, 30 years later, membership and sport sponsorship continues to grow and access to NCAA automatic bids has expanded to 14 sports. While times have changed, the goals of the Conference have remained remarkably consistent over the past 30 years. The NEC and its member institutions remain committed to enhancing the experience of its student-athletes, while operating programs that are fully integrated in the academic mission of each institution. Likewise, the Conference continually strives to be an NCAA Division I leader for athletic success, academic achievement and integrity, sportsmanship, equity and diversity, community partnership and national engagement.
