WE ARE

NEW HAMPSHIRE Nestled in New Hampshire’s seacoast region, the UNH campus offers a pleasing mix of classic and modern buldings and college greens that gradually gives way to 2,600 acres of woods, fields, and farms.

The University prides itself as being a Top-10 entrepreneurial campus (Forbes.com and The Princeton Review). The Whittemore School of Business and Economics was recently selected second among all business schools in a nationwide pool of business school deans.

Students who choose UNH often do so because of the seemingly endless options offered through an accessible system of schools and colleges. UNH offers literally thousands of courses in more than 100 majors.

UNH is one of the leading research schools on the East coast. A land-, sea- and space grant university, our University engages under graduates in the intellectual excitement of research.

The Wildcat sculpture, commissioned by the UNH alumni association, was created by Matthew Grey Palmer and is displayed on Main Street in front of the Whittemore Center and Memorial Field.

HEAD COACH SEAN McDONNELL

Sean McDonnell, a 1978 University of New Hampshire graduate, completed his 14th season as the head coach of his alma mater in 2012 with a career record of 104-66. Under his mentorship, the Wildcats have qualified for the NCAA Division I FCS postseason for nine straight seasons, the longest streak in the nation. The ‘Cats have been ranked in the Top 25 for 126 consecutive polls, the longest streak in FCS football, which dates back to Sept. 13, 2004. In May 2013, McDonnell was honored by the Joe Yukica-New Hampshire Chapter of the National Football Foundation, which presented him with the Andy Mooradian Award for his contributions to amateur football.

The 2012 Wildcats earned a share of the CAA championship, the second in Coach Mac’s career (2005), with a 6-2 league mark and extended their longest-in-the-nation streak of consecutive NCAA D-I playoff appearance to nine. The ‘Cats compiled an 8-4 overall record that included an NCAA second-round game at Wofford. As a result, Coach Mac was tabbed the New England Division I Coach of the Year by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston for the fourth time (2000, ‘04, ‘09, ‘12), earned his fourth New England Football Writers Division I FCS Coach of the Year honor (‘05, ‘08, ‘10, ‘12) and was feted as the AFCA Regional Coach of the Year for the third time (‘04, ‘05, ‘12). McDonnell reached milestone coaching victory No. 100 with a 44-21 win over Georgia State at the Georgia Dome on Oct. 6, 2012. Senior linebacker Matt Evans became the school’s all-time tackle leader (460) when he surpassed Steve Doig on Nov. 3, 2012, in Coach Mac’s first career victory against William & Mary (28-25). Evans had his No. 52 retired at the team awards banquet in March 2013, and fellow senior Chris Zarkoskie (OL) was the recipient of the CAA’s inaugural Chuck Boone Leadership Award.

The 2011 Wildcats matched a school record for the second straight year by knocking off five ranked opponents en route to an 8-4 mark, including 6-2 in the CAA. The ‘Cats put a bow on their rivalry with Massachusetts by knocking off the Minutemen, 27-21, in the second Colonial Clash at Gillette Stadium, which was also the 74th and final scheduled meeting between the longtime rivals. UNH reclaimed the Brice-Cowell Musket with a 30-27 defeat of Maine in the regular-season finale and came within a blocked PAT of forcing overtime in a playoff loss at Montana State. Junior linebacker Matt Evans became the first Wildcat to ever be named the nation’s top defensive player when he won the Buck Buchanan Award, and senior quarterback Kevin Decker was crowned the CAA Offensive Player of the Year.

In 2010, McDonnell’s Wildcats collected victories against five ranked opponents, a University record, en route to an 8-5 campaign. UNH advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA postseason for the sixth time in seven years after dispatching Bethune-Cookman, 45-20, in a second-round encounter before suffering a 16-3 quarterfinal loss at eventual national championship game participant Delaware.

McDonnell was feted as the 2010 Division I FCS Coach of the Year by the New England Football Writers, his third such honor (2005, ’08). During the course of the ’10

UNH FOOTBALL - NATION-LEADING 9 STRAIGHTNCAAAPPEARANCES campaign, the ‘Cats earned their 12th straight home victory –a school record- by shutting out No. 11 Richmond, 17-0, on Homecoming.

Two weeks later, UNH made history by topping No. 12 UMass, 39-13, in the inaugural Colonial Clash at Gillette Stadium. The game was witnessed by 32,848 fans, the largest football crowd in CAA history.

UNH finished 10-3 in 2009 and won its second straight CAA North Division championship. The Wildcats continued to be giant killers by knocking off an FBS opponent for the fifth straight time, securing a hard-fought 23-16 triumph at Ball State. Previous FBS opponents to feel the wrath of the Wildcats during the amazing upset run were Army (2008), Marshall (’07), Northwestern (’06) and Rutgers (’04). UNH was the only team to defeat eventual FCS national champion Villanova (28-24) on Homecoming. The Wildcats also posted an impressive win on the road at McNeese State, defeating the Cowboys, 49-13, in the first round of the NCAA playoffs.

New Hampshire notched a 10-3 record in 2008, including a defeat of Southern Illinois in the first round of the NCAAs before a quarterfinal-round setback at Northern Iowa. UNH finished the season ranked No. 7 in most national polls, and McDonnell was honored as the New England FCS Coach of the Year for the second time.

In 2007, the Wildcats were 7-5 overall and just narrowly missed upsetting No. 1 Northern Iowa in the first round of the NCAAs, losing on a last-minute TD, 38-35, at the UNI Dome. The Wildcat offense, ranked 16th in the nation, averaged over 400 yards per contest.

The Wildcats were ranked as high as No. 1 in the nation in 2006 and finished the season ranked sixth after defeating Hampton in the first round (41-38) of the NCAAs. Among the regular-season highlights was senior All-America wide receiver David Ball making history by surpassing legendary Jerry Rice with 58 career TD receptions and junior quarterback Ricky Santos claiming the Walter Payton Award as the FCS football national player of the year.

In 2005, McDonnell was honored as the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year by The Sports Network after leading his Wildcats to a record-breaking 11-2 season, an Atlantic 10 Championship, a second straight NCAA appearance in the I-AA quarterfinals and the country’s No. 1 ranking at the end of the regular season. The Wildcats played host to two nationally-televised NCAA postseason games on ESPN at Cowell Stadium, beating Colgate in the first round before succumbing to Northern Iowa in the NCAA quarterfinals.

McDonnell’s hard work rebuilding the program paid off in 2004 with a 10-3 overall record and a 6-2 mark in the Atlantic 10, which earned the team the Northern Division championship and a bid to the NCAA I-AA Championships for the first time since 1994. The ‘Cats advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time in the history of the program by winning its first-ever NCAA contest under McDonnell, a 27-23 upset at Georgia Southern. McDonnell was named a finalist for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year and was selected District Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA).

In 2003, UNH began turning the corner by winning three of its last four contests, including an upset victory over nationally-ranked Maine. The team’s 5-7 record could have easily been above .500, as the ‘Cats narrowly lost to No. 1 Delaware on a missed field goal in the closing seconds, and UNH was driving for a potential game-winning TD late at Division I-A Central Michigan before running out of time.

In 2002, McDonnell’s offense was one of the most prolific in I-AA football and averaged 449.2 yards per contest and 36.7 ppg. In victories over the likes of Hampton, James Madison, Dartmouth and Massachusetts the ‘Cats scored 37 points/game and scored over 40 points in two of the victories. UNH finished with a 4-7 overall record in 2001.

In 2000, the Wildcats were ranked as high as 23rd in the nation and knocked off three top-25 opponents, including Hampton (3117), Massachusetts (24-16) and No. 2 Delaware on Nov. 4 (45-44 OT). Injuries squashed UNH’s chances for a playoff berth down the stretch, but UNH opened the campaign with a 4-0 record, its best start since 1977 when the Wildcats won seven straight games. UNH finished the season with a 6-5 record and finished tied for fourth in the Atlantic 10. McDonnell was named the Gridiron Club Of Greater Boston College Head Coach Of The Year.

In his rookie season, McDonnell led the Wildcats to a 5-6 overall record and oversaw a wide-open offensive attack that led the Atlantic 10 with an average of 457.3 yards per game.

McDonnell was named the 19th head coach of the UNH football program April 22, 1999.

McDonnell replaced legendary head coach Bill Bowes, who retired after 27 years as the mentor of the Wildcats.

McDonnell served eight seasons as a Wildcat assistant and completed his fifth year as the team’s offensive coordinator in 1998. McDonnell rejoined the Wildcats as an assistant coach before the 1991 spring camp and worked with the quarterbacks and receivers for his first three seasons. In 1997, McDonnell was named the recipient of “The College Assistant Coach Award” by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston in recognition of his quality of performance, loyalty and longevity.

A native of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., McDonnell was a standout defensive back for UNH. He started for the 1975 and 1976 Yankee Conference championship teams and came back to start for the 1978 squad. After his graduation from UNH, he spent one year as an assistant coach at Manchester (N.H.) Memorial High School and followed that up with a three-year stint at Manchester West (1980-82). McDonnell worked as the defensive coordinator at Hamilton College for two seasons (1983-84) and subsequently spent three years (1985-87) coaching the receivers and tight ends at former conference-rival Boston University. During the 1988 campaign, McDonnell served as a graduate assistant coach at Boston College. He spent two seasons as an assistant at Columbia (1989-90) prior to his coaching debut in Durham.

Sean and his wife, Jenny, reside in Durham and are the parents of two sons: Timmy and Tommy, who is a member of the UNH men’s basketball team.

UNHFOOTBALL-2012CAAFootballCo-Champions

2013 SEASON PREVIEW

The University of New Hampshire football program has been a model of consistency in excellence over the past nine seasons.

Despite playing in the Colonial Athletic Association, widely considered the nation’s premier and most competitive Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) conference, the Wildcats have strung together nine straight appearances in the NCAA Division I Football Championship tournament, the country’s longest active streak. Further, the ‘Cats have appeared in the Top-25 for a nation-leading 126 consecutive polls, a stretch that dates back to Sept. 13, 2004.

After claiming the CAA co-championship in 2012, the Wildcats look to become Durham’s first repeat gridiron champs since the 1976 squad repeated as Yankee Conference champions. Fifteenth-year head coach Sean McDonnell, who was a member of that ’76 team, will lead a squad that has to deal with the graduation of such talented players as NFL draft selection Jared Smith and all-time tackle leader Matt Evans. But the 2013 Wildcats are dedicated to extending the program’s near decade-long run of excellence and taking that next step among the top teams in FCS football.

Sean Goldrich

two TDs while rushing for 71 yards in the Wildcats’ 38-17 win at Holy Cross.

Goldrich, though, was knocked out of commission a week later at Minnesota, which allowed Vailas to step in and take command. After guiding the ‘Cats to a convincing 43-10 triumph versus Central Connecticut State in the home opener, the Phillips Academy product passed for 336 yards and five touchdowns to go along with a 67-yard rushing score in a wild 64-61 loss at No. 5 Old Dominion. Vailas won the CAA Offensive Player of the Week award the very next week when he went 23 of 36 for 315 yards and two TDs in a 34-14 defeat of No. 8 Delaware at Cowell Stadium.

Six weeks after suffering his shoulder injury at Minnesota, Goldrich reclaimed the starting role and led UNH to a comefrom-behind 28-21 victory at Maine with four touchdown tosses to win his second CAA Rookie of the Week award.

Vailas finished the season ranked third in the CAA in passing efficiency (143.0), second in points responsible for/game (14.2), seventh in total offense/game (182.5) and ninth in passing average/game (141.6); Goldrich was ninth in the league in total offense/game (152.9) and 10th in both passing average/ game (133.6) and pass efficiency (124.6).

Joining the veteran duo are redshirt freshmen Adam Riese (Hamilton, N.J.) and Chris McCormick (Winooski, Vt.).

Andy Vailas

QUARTERBACKS A year ago, the quarterback position was up for grabs as the team sought to replace 2011 CAA Offensive Player of the Year Kevin Decker with unproven signal callers Sean Goldrich (West Haven, Conn.) and Andy Vailas (Bedford, N.H.) among those who competed right through fall camp. The QB battle is once again wide open between Goldrich and Vailas, only this time the competition is between two proven men under center.

Goldrich won the neck-and-neck battle for the starting post in 2012 and promptly won the CAA Rookie of the Week award in week one after completing 21 of 31 passes for 193 yards and

Chris Setian RUNNING BACKS Once reputed to be an offense that carved through defenses almost exclusively with its diverse aerial attack, the Wildcats found consistent balance in 2012 with a suddenly potent and deep running attack. The trio of Nico Steriti (Toms River, N.J.), Chris Setian (East Longmeadow, Mass.) and Jimmy Owens (West Deptford, N.J.) spearheaded the CAA’s third-ranked and

2013 SEASON PREVIEW

nation’s No. 15 rushing attack, as the ‘Cats averaged 220.8 rushing yards/game under first-year offensive coordinator Ryan Carty.

Steriti, a junior, rushed for 921 yards and ranked sixth in the CAA in rushing yards/game (76.8) to along with a team-leading nine rushing touchdowns.

Setian, a senior co-captain, battered his way to 490 rushing yards and five touchdowns to go along with 22 receptions for 185 yards and four TDs –all top receiving numbers among UNH running backs.

Owens, a junior, averaged a backfield-leading 6.8 yards/ carry en route to 411 yards on 60 rushes.

The running back stable promises to get deeper with the maturation of redshirt freshman Dalton Crossan (Lake Ronkonkoma, N.Y.), who was tabbed the backfield’s most improved player by the coaching staff in the spring after scoring a pair of touchdowns in the Blue-White Game, and junior Jim Earley (Hopkinton, N.H.).

Giansante (Jefferson Hills, Pa.) battled through injuries last season to notch 14 catches for 200 yards in eight games, including seven starts. Senior Justin Mello (Dartmouth, Mass.) proved durable and reliable by making at least one reception in 10 of 12 games, including seven multi-catch efforts; he ranked fourth on the squad with 21 receptions for 215 yards and a pair of TDs. After his junior season was decimated by injury, Tim Farina (Plymouth, N.H.) is set to make the most of his senior campaign.

Jared Allison (Cliffwood, N.J.) figures to play a larger role as a slot receiver in his sophomore season after collecting three receptions for 50 yards in the ’12 campaign. Mike Kelly (Merrimack, N.H.), who flashed his big-play ability with five catches for 103 yards and two TDs in last fall’s Blue-White Game and added a team-high 69 receiving yards and a TD in the spring game, will join a young crop of talented receivers that includes Kyon Taylor (Springfield, Va.), Mike DeTroia (Barnegat, N.J.), Cam Seymour (Hyannis, Mass.), Anthony Pante (Manalapan, N.J.) and Mark Accino (Hyde Park, Mass.).

TIGHT ENDS Harold Spears (Perkasie, Pa.) made the most of his first year as the starter by earning a berth on the All-CAA Third Team last season. The junior will be seeking to build on a season in which he registered 20 catches (four TDs) for 305 yards. Brian Ciccone (Manchester, Mass.) is in line to serve as backup once again in ’13, and up-and-comers Andrew Lauderdale (Concord, N.H.), Ekene Nwokoye (Hanover, N.H.) and Jordan Powell (Forked River, N.J.) will be seeking a chance to climb the depth chart as well.

R.J. Harris WIDE RECEIVERS The most prolific quarterback in school history, Ricky Santos, is the new wide receivers coach. And he will find the cupboard full in 2013. R.J. Harris (Odenton, Md.) enters his junior season within 21 catches and 140 receiving yards of UNH’s all-time Top-10 on the heels of a ’12 campaign in which he garnered All-CAA First Team, All-New England and ECAC D-I All-Star honors. Harris made 84 receptions for 1,059 yards, which ranked fourth and sixth in school single-season history, respectively. He ranked second in the CAA in receptions/game (7.0) and receiving yards/game (88.2) while his nine receiving touchdowns ranked third in the league.

While Harris headlines the WR corps, he is far from alone in supplying the offense with air weaponry. Junior Jimmy

UNHFOOTBALL-2012CAAFootballCo-Champions

2013 SEASON PREVIEW

New Hampshire’s front line brings back three starters: AllCAA and All-New England left tackle Seamus O’Neill (Manchester, N.H.), a senior co-captain; third-year starting center and All-CAA Third Team member Mike Coccia (Bethlehem, Pa.) and right tackle Rob Bowman (Cheshire, Conn.).

A host of candidates are in line to replace graduated guards Chris Zarkoskie and Mickey DiLima, beginning with senior Sean Ryan (Londonderry, N.H.), who is slotted as the first-string left guard. Converted defensive tackle Tim Johnson (Oakdale, Pa.) is making a strong case for the right guard position, and the fierce competition for playing time in the trenches also features Austin Heter (McKees Rocks, Pa.), George Kallas (Beverly, Mass.), Alex Blane (North Andover, Mass.), Zach Hundertmark (West Windsor, N.J.) and Tad McNeely (Whitehall, Pa.).

Among the other o-line candidates are Curtis Nealer (Pitman, N.J.), Alexander Morrill (Lebanon, N.H.) and Ricky Archer (The Plains, Va.), a 2011 All-CAA Second Team and All-New England lineman who was ineligible last season.

ielsville, Pa.) should also see action on the defensive interior this season.

The ‘Cats have the fortune of returning both starting defensive ends in seniors Jay Colbert (Langhorne, Pa.) and Cody Muller (Telford, Pa.). The Keystone State bookends teamed up for 62 tackles and five sacks and proved their durability by playing in all 12 games a year after missing the entire 2011 season.

Junior Robbie Zauck (Ocean City, N.J.) is back in the fold after amassing 16 tackles, including two sacks, and sophomore Dab Ukwuani (Gaithersburg, Md.) is primed for an increased role after playing in three games last season. Cam Shorey (Calais, Maine), who was a tight end during his true freshman season, has transitioned to DE for his redshirt-freshman campaign.

LINEBACKERS The biggest shakeup comes at linebacker, where the ‘Cats are forced to replace a pair of three-year starters, one of whom just happened to be the school’s all-time tackle leader, Matt Evans. Evans and Alan Buzbee graduated after combining for 195 tackles for the CAA co-champions. Shane McNeely (Whitehall, Pa.) will be expected to step up at one starting MLB position after notching 33 tackles during his sophomore season.

Akil Anderson (Morristown, N.J.) is penciled in at the other middle linebacker slot, but competition will be lively among DeVaughn Chollette (Scranton, Pa.), Ryan Farrell (Westwood, Mass.), Steve Collister (Rochester, N.Y.) and Kevin McNally (Cornwall, N.Y.).

Jay Colbert DEFENSIVE LINE Though the Wildcats need to offset the departure of Seattle Seahawks’ draft pick Jared Smith, there is still much depth and experience in the front four. Sean McCann (Avon Lake, Ohio) and Matt Kaplan (Franklin, N.H.) bring five combined years of valuable playing time to the tackle position. Kaplan led all UNH linemen with 47 tackles while starting all 12 games a season ago, and McCann chalked up 33 stops in 10 games.

Jullian Turner (East Pittsburgh, Pa.) and Rashid Armand (Brooklyn, N.Y.) played significant snaps last season, and each will be leaned upon heavily in ’13. Jimmy Vailas (Bedford, N.H.), Ryan Welch (Dunstable, Mass.) and Danny Riley (Dan-

WORCESTER, Mass. – The No. 14/12 UNH football team scored touchdowns on back-to-back drives of 98 yards and 95 yards in the second half to pull away from Holy Cross for a 38-17 Thursday night victory in the season opener for both schools at Fitton Field.

The Wildcats (1-0, 0-0 CAA) outscored the Crusaders (0-1, 0-0 Patriot League) 19-7 after halftime and amassed 531 yards of offense (279 rushing, 252 passing) to improve to 11-3 all-time in season-opening games under head coach Sean McDonnell.

Sean Goldrich shined in his collegiate debut, completing 21 of 31 passes for 193 yards and two TDs. The redshirt freshman added a team-high 71 rushing yards on 10 carries. Joey Orlando hauled in seven receptions for 102 yards and two touchdowns, while R.J. Harris collected 102 receiving yards and a score on a team-high and career-high-matching 12 catches to go along with a personal-high 57 rushing yards on four carries. Nico Steriti and Chris Setian both notched rushing scores.

Chris Beranger and Matt Evans shared team-high honors with nine tackles apiece. Evans moved into a tie for fourth place on the University’s all-time tackle list with 343 stops (Aaron Thomas, 2000-04).

Dontra Peters, making his first career start at cornerback, snared one of the team’s two interceptions on the night, with Manny Asam securing the other pick.

Jared Smith applied a QB pressure on Peters’ INT and later forced a fumble that was recovered by Jimmy Vailas.

UNH claimed a 6-0 lead with eight minutes left in the first quarter on a three-yard touchdown run from Steriti. Crusader freshman Mike Galantini blocked the PAT. After holding New Hampshire on a fourth-and-1 from the 26-yard line, Holy Cross compiled a nine-play, 74-yard drive that concluded with quarterback Kevin Watson’s four-yard keeper for a 7-6 lead with 11:59 remaining in the second.

UNH recaptured the lead on its next drive when backup quarterback Andy Vailas entered the game and orchestrated a six-play, 73-yard drive. The sophomore went 4-for-4 for 59 yards, capping the drive with a 38-yard scoring strike to Orlando. The PAT from Mike MacArthur staked the ‘Cats to a 13-7 lead with 10:04 left in the half.The Wildcat defense forced its first turnover of the season on the ensuing drive when Watson was jarred on a pass attempt by Smith, leading to an errant throw that was intercepted by Peters, who returned to the Holy Cross 41.

This time it was Goldrich’s turn to spearhead a nine-play scoring drive. The signal caller completed 2 of 3 passes for 15 yards, including a tipped ball that was corralled

by Harris for an eight-yard TD that built UNH’s lead to 19-7 with 3:43 left in the second following a failed two-point conversion.

The Crusaders scored the final points of the half on the final play of the half courtesy of a 32-yard field goal from John Macomber that sliced New Hampshire’s lead to 19-10. The eight-play, 65-yard drive took only 66 seconds to complete.

The second half was all UNH. Pinned to its own 2-yard line, the Wildcats embarked on an eight-play, 98-yard drive that lasted more than three minutes before Jimmy Owens (eight rushes-26 yards, TD) found the end zone on a one-yard carry. Despite the missed PAT, the ‘Cats owned a 25-10 lead with 7:34 left in the third. Goldrich’s 40-yard strike to Orlando was the highlight of the drive.

New Hampshire’s next drive began at its own 5. Thirteen plays, 95 yards and five-and-a-half minutes later, Goldrich found Orlando in the far right corner of the end zone for a five-yard strike and a 32-10 lead with 14:10 left in the game.

Asam’s interception at the Holy Cross 44 set up the Wildcats’ third TD drive of the second half. Five plays later, Setian carried in from two yards out for a 38-10 advantage.

The Crusaders managed a TD with 1:48 remaining on a two-yard run from Matt Bellomo.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – University of Minnesota quarterback MarQueis Gray passed for two touchdowns and ran for two more to lead the Golden Gophers to a 44-7 victory against UNH in Saturday afternoon’s football matchup at TCF Bank Stadium.

UNH -- now 5-5 against FBS teams, including 1-1 against the Big Ten – fell to 1-1 overall in the 2012 season. Minnesota improved to 2-0.

UNH’s offense was led by sophomore quarterback Andy Vailas, who was forced into action when redshirt freshman Sean Goldrich was injured on the Wildcats’ second offensive play. Vailas was 18-for-34 for 158 yards.

R.J. Harris was his top target with six catches for 61 yards. Jimmy Giansante followed with three receptions for 55 yards. Nico Steriti was the top ground gainer with six carries for 34 yards and Chris Setian accounted for UNH’s touchdown with a five-yard scamper late in the first quarter.

The Wildcats’ defensive effort was spearheaded by Matt Evans and Alan Buzbee with nine tackles apiece; Evans finished with a personal-best two sacks. Cody Muller recorded a career-high seven tackles, including a sack, and also forced a fumble that was recovered by teammate Chris Beranger.

Minnesota outgained UNH, 412-231, with a 240-68 edge in rushing yards. Gray finished 6 of 8 for 100 passing yards and had 17 carries for 109 yards. Donnell Kirkwood also had 17 rushes for a total of 70 yards and a touchdown.

The Golden Gophers quickly built a 9-0 lead in the first quarter with a safety and touchdown spanning 18 seconds. With UNH facing 4th-and-6 at its 15-yard line, the long snap went between the hands of punter Mike MacArthur, who retreated to the end zone and threw the ball out of bounds for a Minnesota safety and a 2-0 lead at 10:12.

Troy Stoudermire returned the ensuing kickoff 48 yards and a personal foul against the ‘Cats gave the home team 1st-and-10 at the UNH 27. Gray lofted a pass down the left sideline for a 27-yard touchdown completion to Isaac Fruechte, and Jordan Wettstein’s PAT extended the Gophers’ lead to 9-0 at 9:54.

The Wildcats responded with an eight-play, 76-yard drive to pull within 9-7 with 34 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Steriti carried the ball eight yards to create 1st and goal, and Vailas pitched the ball right to Setian, who won the race to the pylon and MacAruthur’s kick was successful.

Minnesota reestablished a nine-point lead, 16-7, just 11 seconds later when Gray opted to keep the ball, broke through a hole in the middle of the line and raced to the end zone for a 75-yard touchdown.

Gray orchestrated an eight-play, 67-yard TD drive that consumed 4:04 off the clock and extended the advantage to 23-7 at 6:50. On 3rd & 2 at the UNH 35, Gray found John Rabe down the right seam for a 33-yard gain. One play later, Rabe came out of the backfield in the wishbone formation to catch the ball in the right flat for a two-yard score from Gray.

Minnesota’s defense forced a turnover on a strip-sack of Vailas and Gray scored three plays later on an 11-yard keeper up the middle to give the Gophers a 30-7 lead at 4:56. Minnesota consumed more than eight minutes off the clock on a 16-play, 85-yard drive that culminated in a two-yard TD run by Kirkwood that gave the home team a 37-7 lead.

Minnesota closed the scoring at 6:40 of the fourth quarter on a 12-play, 86-yard drive capped by a 19-yard pass from Max Shortell to A.J. Barker.

DURHAM, N.H. – Nico Steriti rushed for a team-leading 104 yards, and four other UNH running backs scored touchdowns as the 18th-ranked Wildcats knocked off Central Connecticut State, 43-10, in Saturday afternoon’s home opener at Cowell Stadium.

UNH, which claimed its eighth consecutive victory in a home opener, upped its record to 2-1 on the season by defeating CCSU (0-3) for the seventh time in seven all-time meetings.

Steriti (12 rushes-104 yards) paced a Wildcats’ rushing attack that accumulated 331 yards and averaged 6.4 yards/rush. Jimmy Owens carried 11 times for a careerhigh 91 yards and two touchdowns, and Chris Setian tallied a rushing score as part of his 11-carry, 81-yard effort. It was the most rushing yards by a UNH team since Sept. 16, 2006, when the ‘Cats ran for 417 yards in a win over Stony Brook. The five rushing TDs are the most since Nov. 12, 2011, at Towson.

Making his first career start, quarterback Andy Vailas went 14-for-20 for 122 yards and a TD. R.J. Harris pulled down six catches for 67 yards to lead all UNH receivers.

New Hampshire had four interceptions and limited the Blue Devils to 234 yards of total offense. Nick Cefalo grabbed the first two interceptions of his career, while Chris Houston and Steven Thames added picks. Matt Evans notched a team-high nine tackles, and Matt Kaplan added four tackles, one sack and two fumble recoveries.

The Wildcats built a 6-0 lead with 3:48 left in the opening quarter on a five-yard touchdown run from Vailas.

The Blue Devils drew within, 6-3, when Juan Duque booted a 33-yard field goal with 3:43 left in the first.

UNH’s lead increased to 13-3 on a 30-yard TD run from Jared Allison with 1:58 left in the opening quarter. Allison, on his first collegiate touch, took an end around to the left side, switched directions when he was hemmed in and dashed around the right corner to the end zone.

The ‘Cats bumped their advantage to 20-3 with 11:58 left in the first half when Vailas completed a third-and-one pass to tight end Harold Spears in the back of the end zone. It was Spears’ first career scoring reception and put a ribbon on a nine-play, 80-yard drive.

Mike MacArthur drilled his first field-goal attempt of the season, a 28-yarder on the final play of the half, to give New Hampshire a 23-3 halftime lead.

CCSU’s initial second-half drive ended on a Cefalo interception, his second of the game. Owens scored six plays later on a 5-yard run at 10:29 of the third to make it 30-3.

Setian found a hole off right tackle and raced 30 yards for a TD with 14:22 left in the contest to stake UNH to a 37-3 lead.

Owens scored his second TD of the day on a 6-yard run just two plays later to extend it to 43-3.

The Blue Devils would conclude scoring as David Rose recovered a UNH fumble and returned it 38 yards with 1:08 left.

Andrew Clements completed 10 of 21 passes for 98 yards and three INTs for CCSU. Rob Hollomon led the Devils’ rushing attack with 47 yards on 18 carries.

NORFOLK, Va. – Andy Vailas passed for 336 yards and five touchdowns Saturday afternoon at S.B. Ballard Stadium, but Old Dominion quarterback Taylor Heinicke set an NCAA Division I record by amassing 730 passing yards as the fifth-ranked Monarchs outlasted No. 18/19 UNH, 64-61, in the highest-scoring game in CAA history. The Wildcats, who led by as many as 23 points (47-24) in the second half, dropped to 2-2 on the season and 0-1 in the league despite setting a school record with 35 first downs. ODU upped its overall record to 4-0 by winning its conference opener, and the Monarchs established an FCS record by racking up 824 yards of total offense. Jarod Brown snapped a 61-61 tie by kicking a 25-yard field goal with 41 seconds remaining to cap a record-shattering game that featured an astounding 1,549 yards of total offense –another NCAA FCS record. Heinicke completed 55 of 79 passes for five touchdowns without an interception. The sophomore set an FCS record with 791 yards of total offense. ODU’s Nick Mayers snared 12 passes for 271 yards and three touchdowns, and Antonio Vaughan posted 12 catches for 143 yards and a score. Vailas went 23-for-38 and added 14 carries for 80 yards and a TD to finish with 416 yards of total offense. Nico Steriti led all ball-carriers with 21 rushes for a career-high 201 yards and two TDs, and R.J. Harris caught eight passes for a career-high 191 yards and a pair of TDs. The Wildcats made an instant impact on the opening kickoff when Lamar Edmonds drilled Colby Goodwyn, forcing a fumble that was recovered by Akil Anderson at the Monarchs’ 25. One play later, Vailas found Joey Orlando on a post-pattern scoring toss and a 7-0 lead just 16 seconds into the game. Steriti accounted for all 76 yards of a four-play drive capped by his one-yard touchdown run with 9:06 remaining in the first for a 13-3 lead. The twopoint attempt failed. The Wildcats parlayed the Monarchs’ second turnover of the game into a touchdown with 10:15 left in the second. Mayers fumbled a punt return that was recovered by Jimmy Vailas at the Monarchs’ 25. Chris Setian rumbled for 12 yards on the first play of the next drive before taking a screen pass from Vailas on the next play 13 yards into the end zone, which staked the ‘Cats to a 23-10 lead.

New Hampshire recaptured the momentum when Vailas completed a 73-yard touchdown pass to Harris on a third-and-23 play to build the lead to 37-17 with 2:50 left in the half. It was the longest passing play for the Wildcats since a 77-yard hookup between R.J. Toman and Chris Jeannot on Nov. 15, 2008, against Massachusetts.

Chris Houston led the Wildcats with 14 tackles, while Dontra Peters (13 tackles), Matt Evans (12 tackles) and Alan Buzbee (10 tackles) all finished with double-digit stops. The 61 points scored by UNH represented the most ever in a defeat and the highest totaled by the ‘Cats since a 63-21 win at Rhode Island on Nov. 11, 2006.

ODU’s 64 points were the most allowed by New Hampshire since a 64-42 loss to Massachusetts on Nov. 19, 1988.

DURHAM, N.H. – R.J. Harris hauled in a pair of second-half touchdown passes and racked up 129 receiving yards to help 20th-ranked UNH post a convincing 34-14 victory against No. 8 and previously unbeaten Delaware at Cowell Stadium on Saturday afternoon. UNH upped its record to 3-2 on the season and 1-1 in the CAA, while Delaware dipped to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the CAA. The Wildcats won their eighth consecutive home game and improved to 20-1 in their last 21 games at Mooradian Field.

Andy Vailas matched a career best with 23 completions on 36 attempts for 315 yards and two TDs. The sophomore signal caller added 14 carries for 36 yards and a score.

Joey Orlando added six catches for 74 yards as UNH amassed 409 of its 472 yards of total offense in the second half. The Wildcats’ defense held the Blue Hens to 234 yards and a mere 92 yards in the second half. Manny Asam spearheaded the attack and tied a career high by notching 11 tackles and a personal-best 1.5 sacks. Dontra Peters tallied two interceptions and three tackles, including a half sack, Matt Evans chipped in with nine tackles, and Robbie Zauck collected two of UNH’s six sacks of Delaware quarterback Trent Hurley (18-for-27, 140 yards, TD, INT).

Trailing 7-0 at halftime, the Wildcats scored touchdowns on their first three possessions of the second half to open a 21-7 lead with 14:50 left in the game. UNH tied the game, 7-7, when Harris snared his first TD catch of the contest on a 32-yard pass to conclude an eight-play, 72-yard drive at 11:02 of the third quarter. On third-and-12, Vailas fired a strike down the left sideline that Harris caught in stride on his way to the end zone. The ‘Cats took the lead for good, 14-7, when Vailas capped a seven-play, 77-yard drive with a one-yard TD rush with 5:08 left in the third. The signal caller faked a handoff to Chris Setian and walked in untouched for the score. Vailas and Harris would connect for the second time early in the fourth for a seven-yard reception and a 21-7 Wildcats’ advantage. On third-and-goal, Vailas zipped a scoring pass to the open Harris just inside the goal line to wrap up a 12-play, 67-yard drive that lasted more than four minutes.

Mike MacArthur improved to 5-for-5 in field goal kicking on the season by successfully hitting from 23 yards out with 8:16 left for a 24-7 lead and a 28-yarder that staked New Hampshire to a 27-7 lead with 4:54 to go.

The Wildcats capped a 34-0 run when Jimmy Owens (team-leading 72 rushing yards on four carries) took a handoff up the middle, angled left and outraced the Blue Hen secondary for a career-high 60-yard run with 3:52 left.

Delaware managed to avoid a second-half shutout on a 26-yard pass from Hurley to Mike Milburn (two catches-32 yards) with 34 seconds left. Andrew Pierce paced Delaware with 18 rushes for 82 yards.

The Blue Hens led 7-0 at halftime thanks to Hurley’s one-yard run with 1:05 left in the first quarter. It marked the first time the Wildcats had been blanked at home in the opening half of a game since Oct. 14, 2000, against Richmond.

7/50 4/26 ATLANTA – Andy Vailas threw for four touchdowns, Nico Steriti scored three times and UNH head football coach Sean McDonnell earned his 100th career victory as the No. 14/17 Wildcats defeated Georgia State, 44-21, on Saturday at the Georgia Dome.

With its second straight win, UNH improves to 4-2 on the season and 2-1 in the CAA. GSU falls to 0-5.

McDonnell, in his 14th season, joins his former head coach, Bill Bowes (175 victories in 27 seasons), as the only UNH coaches to ever reach the century mark in career wins.

The Wildcats totaled 624 yards on offense while holding the Panthers to 299 yards.

UNH accumulated 332 rushing yards, as both Steriti and Jimmy Owens eclipsed the 100-yard mark.

The New Hampshire defense forced five turnovers, with three interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Jared Smith notched a forced fumble and two sacks among his five tackles. Matt Evans and Cody Muller also registered sacks. Chris Houston, Hayden Knudson and Alan Buzbee each intercepted a pass.

Vailas went 18 of 35 for 252 yards and four TDs. Harold Spears set career highs with six receptions for 94 yards and a TD. Jimmy Giansante tallied four grabs for 65 yards.

UNH snapped a 7-7 tie early in the second quarter by parlaying the game’s first turnover into points. Smith blindsided GSU quarterback Ronnie Bell, forcing a fumble that was recovered by Muller at the Panthers’ 21. Steriti then picked up 13 yards on a sweep around the right end before nabbing a Vailas pass on a shallow crossing route from right to left for an eight-yard TD and a 14-7 lead.

Steriti scored his second touchdown of the game by reversing direction on a leftside rush, slamming on the brakes, cutting to his right and maneuvering his way for a seven-yard TD and a 21-7 advantage with 8:54 left in the second.

The lead ballooned to 28-7 just 26 seconds into the second half on a five-yard TD pass from Vailas to Justin Mello.

The Wildcats would push the lead to 35-7 when Vailas tossed his fourth TD pass of the day to a fourth different receiver, Chris Setian, who hauled in a screen pass and raced a career-best 25 yards for a TD with 3:17 remaining in the third quarter.

Mike MacArthur tacked on a season-high 43-yard field goal with 40 seconds remaining in the third to push the New Hampshire cushion to 38-7.

Georgia State received a brief spark on a 26-yard TD pass from Ben McLane to Emmanuel Ogbuehi that cut the deficit to 38-14 at 13:52 of the fourth quarter.

But New Hampshire retaliated nine seconds later courtesy of a 63-yard kickoff return by Jared Allison, followed by Steriti’s third TD of the contest, a 34-yard run jaunt for a 44-14 lead.

The teams exchanged touchdowns on their initial possessions. First, UNH marched 68 yards on four plays, with a career-long 29-yard rush by R.J. Harris that set the stage for a Vailas-to-Spears 26-yard TD pass.

GSU drew even, 7-7, when Bell found Albert Wilson for a 54-yard touchdown pass with 11:01 left in the opening quarter.

Andy Vailas, who completed 15 of 26 passes for 188 yards, threw for three first-half touchdowns, added a 38-yard rushing TD in the third quarter and converted a crucial fourth-down conversion on UNH’s go-ahead drive in the final quarter to lead the Wildcats to their third straight victory.

Richmond fought back from a 34-17 deficit to grab a 40-34 lead with 10:21 remaining. Special teams saved the ‘Cats. Lamar Edmonds blocked the PAT that followed a 48-yard touchdown run from Kendall Gaskins that put the visitors in front. Then Mike MacArthur pinned the Spiders back to their 1-yard line with a 51-yard punt at the 7:55 mark.

On the subsequent drive, Randi Vines stuffed Gaskins for a one-yard gain on 3rdand-2 at the Richmond 10. That forced a punt that staked UNH to good field position at its 49 with 5:58 left.

Sean Goldrich then entered the game for the first time and handed off to Chris Setian for a 35-yard pickup down to the Spiders’ 16. Goldrich completed a three-yard pass to Joey Orlando and called his own number for a six-yard gain, setting the stage for a 4th-and-2 play at UR’s 8. Following a timeout, Vailas returned to action and converted a QB draw for three yards before Setian plowed in for a five-yard TD and a 41-40 lead with 2:57 remaining.

MacArthur provided the game’s final points with a 27-yard field goal with 1:08 left.

Matt Evans tallied a season-high 16 tackles -15 solo- to headline UNH’s defensive effort. CAA rushing leader Nico Steriti produced his fourth 100-yard rushing game in five weeks by carrying 15 times for 122 yards. The sophomore notched a 21-yard TD scamper with 13:10 left in the second quarter to stake the ‘Cats to a 20-10 lead.

R.J. Harris spearheaded the receiving game with five catches for 94 yards, highlighted by a 14-yard scoring reception in the first quarter and a nine-yard TD catch in the second period. Orlando, who was the recipient of a Vailas 16-yard TD throw with 2:01 left in the first, moved into 10th place in school history in all-time receptions (151) and receiving yards (1,909).

The Wildcats took control on the Vailas scoring run with 8:54 left in the third to open their biggest lead.The Spiders retaliated with 23 consecutive points. John Laub (27-for-44, 269 yards, TD) threw a two-yard touchdown strike to Seth Fisher, which trimmed UNH’s lead to 34-24 with 6:22 left in the third.

With 59 seconds remaining in the third, Remington Hinshaw booted a 41-yard field goal to make it 34-27. After Laub departed with an injury, Strauss threw a four-yard TD pass to Stephen Barnette on his first attempt of the day, as Richmond knotted the score, 34-34, with 11:19 left in the fourth.

But the Spiders, who outgained the Wildcats, remained winless at Cowell Stadium since 2000. UNH recorded its ninth straight home victory and improved to 21-1 in its last 22 contests at “The Dungeon.”

UNH (6-2, 4-1 CAA) registered its fourth straight victory to retain possession of the Brice-Cowell Musket.

Goldrich, who was making his first start since suffering an injured shoulder at Minnesota on Sept. 8, went 18 of 39 and rushed eight times for 13 yards with a teamlong 12-yard rush.

Harold Spears notched three catches, including two for touchdowns, for a careerhigh 107 yards, and R.J. Harris nabbed a team-high seven catches for 88 yards and a TD.

Chris Setian carried a team-leading 17 times for 76 yards, including six straight carries for 24 yards as the Wildcats ran out the clock to preserve their ninth win in the last 10 meetings with Maine (2-5, 1-3).

Matt Evans amassed a team-high 11 tackles, and Jared Smith chipped in with nine stops, including 1.5 tackles for loss and three pass breakups.

UNH scored 28 unanswered points after falling behind, 14-0, in the first half. Alan Buzbee and Steven Thames each recorded an interception that led to touchdowns.

The Black Bears scored the only points of the opening quarter on Justin Perillo’s 15-yard touchdown catch. Perillo hauled in Marcus Wasilewski’s pass with 5:20 left for a 7-0 lead.

Perillo tallied his second TD of the contest with 10:57 left in the second when he took a screen pass from Wasilewski in the left flat, broke a tackle and registered a 16-yard score for a 14-0 Black Bears’ lead.

The Wildcats got on the scoreboard with 9:09 remaining in the first half when an open Spears caught Goldrich’s pass along the left hash marks and outran the Black Bears defense 79 yards for UNH’s longest play of the season and a 14-6 deficit following the failed PAT.

New Hampshire compiled a 12-play, 81-yard drive on its game-tying drive. Harris, who had a potential 33-yard TD reception negated by a holding penalty, found his way to the end zone two plays later on a 22-yard pass from Goldrich. The Wildcats successfully added the two-point conversion on a Goldrich-to-Setian pass to square the score, 14-14, with 57 seconds left in the second.

The Wildcats would strike for the go-ahead touchdown just 38 seconds later when Buzbee picked off Wasilewski’s first-down pass and rumbled 46 yards to the Maine 1.

After an incompletion and a fumble, the ‘Cats regrouped with Goldrich hitting Setian (three catches-21 yards, TD) for a five-yard TD and a 21-14 lead at halftime.

UNH’s second interception of the game set up the only TD of the third quarter.

Thames collected a tipped ball and dashed 17 yards to the Black Bear 18. Wasilewski’s pass, intended for Arthur Williams, was broken up by Tim Pike, leading to Thames’ second INT of the season and a red-zone opportunity that New Hampshire would cash in on Goldrich’s fourth TD pass of the day –and second to Spears- a six-yard hookup with 2:44 left in the third for a 28-14 lead.

Maine snapped the 28-point UNH run with 14:22 left in the fourth quarter when Williams was on the receiving end of a 23-yard slant TD pass from Wasliewski that trimmed the Bears’ deficit to 28-21.

UNH, which recorded its fifth straight victory, improved to 7-2 overall and maintained at least a share of first place in the CAA with a league mark of 5-1. URI dropped to 0-8, 0-5.

Sean Goldrich completed 17 of 27 passes for 245 yards and a touchdown while rushing six times for 24 yards and a TD.

R.J. Harris registered his fourth 100-yard receiving game of the season by snaring a team-leading eight catches for 131 yards.

Matt Evans totaled 12 tackles, eight of the solo variety, for team-high honors. The senior co-captain, with 427 career stops, moved to within seven tackles of UNH all-time leader Steve Doig (434, 1978-81).

New Hampshire’s defense turned three Rhode Island turnovers into 17 points.

Mike MacArthur staked UNH to a 3-0 lead by kicking a 28-yard field goal with 13:15 remaining in the first quarter.

Rhody’s initial drive was thwarted when Jared Smith (two tackles) blocked a 29-yard field goal try by Dylan Smith, but the Rams alertly recovered the ensuing fumbled return by Peters at the UNH 16-yard line.

Rhode Island capitalized on that turnover to take a 6-3 lead two plays later on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Bob Bentsen (24-for-38, 266 yards, two INT, TD) to Brandon JohnsonFarrell (nine catches-92 yards, TD) with 10:59 left in the first. Bentsen’s two-point conversion pass attempt fell incomplete.

The Wildcats came right back with a 10-play, 72-yard drive which culminated in Setian’s two-yard scoring rush with 7:53 remaining in the opening stanza. The failed PAT left UNH’s advantage at 9-6.

Peters (five tackles) atoned for his earlier fumble when he intercepted Bentsen’s pass in the UNH end zone to snuff out Rhode Island’s 13-play, 75-yard drive that chewed up nearly seven minutes. The pick was Peters’ fourth of the season, which is tied for the most in the CAA.

New Hampshire then covered 80 yards on seven plays, climaxing in an 11-yard rushing touchdown from Nico Steriti (five rushes-19 yards, TD) for a 16-6 lead with 14:36 left in the second quarter.

Peters caused a second Rhode Island turnover deep in UNH territory to halt the Rams’ following possession when he ripped the ball loose from URI running back Assani Mudimbi on a rushing play. Manny Asam (six tackles) recovered the fumble on the Wildcats’ 21.

UNH parlayed that turnover into more points courtesy of MacArthur’s 31-yard field goal with 8:08 left in the half that staked the Wildcats to a 19-6 advantage.

New Hampshire seized a commanding 26-6 lead on Goldrich’s nine-yard TD pass to Setian (two catches-25 yards, TD) with seven seconds left in the half. That put a bow on a seven-play, 71-yard scoring drive that took only 44 seconds to materialize.

URI scored on its initial possession of the second half when Bentsen scored on a six-yard keeper to trim the deficit to 26-13 at 9:10 of the third.

Vailas got into the scoring action with a 19-yard TD pass to Justin Mello (two catches-27 yards, TD) with 7:22 left in the third for a 33-13 lead. Mello made a full-extension grab in the far left corner of the end zone for his second scoring reception of the year. Jared Allison (55 kick-return yards; 103 all-purpose yards) set the stage for the four-play, 52-yard drive by virtue of his 40-yard kickoff return to the UNH 48.

The Wildcats took advantage of favorable field position on their next scoring drive, which began when Alan Buzbee (four tackles) picked off Bentsen’s fourth-down pass and brought it back 12 yards to the URI 35. It was Buzbee’s third interception in the last four games.

It took all of five plays, 33 yards and 53 seconds to score the fifth TD of the day. Goldrich called his own number for a nine-yard score to push the lead to 40-13 with 2:46 left in the third.

The Rams made it 40-20 with 11:05 left on a five-yard keeper by Bentsen.

The Wildcats improved to 8-2 overall and upped their CAA-leading mark to 6-1, while the Tribe fell to 2-7, 1-5. With its 10th straight home victory, New Hampshire snapped a nine-game losing skid against William & Mary and gave head coach Sean McDonnell his first career victory against the College. The eighth victory also likely punched New Hampshire’s ticket to the NCAA Football Championship tournament for a nation-leading ninth consecutive season.

Sean Goldrich completed 21 of 30 passes for 215 yards, and R.J. Harris notched a team-leading 10 catches for 77 yards. Harris moved into a tie for fifth place in UNH single-season history with 71 receptions and seventh place in single-season history with 961 receiving yards.

Evans, who now has 437 career tackles, surpassed Steve Doig as the University’s all-time tackles leader with just under 3:25 remaining in the third quarter and the game tied at 18-18. The senior co-captain combined with Nick Cefalo (six tackles) to wrap up Keith McBride on an eight-yard rush at UNH’s 38. Five plays later, W&M kicker John Carpenter missed wide left on a 46-yard field-goal attempt, preserving the deadlock.

William & Mary third-string quarterback Michael Graham, who replaced injured starter Brent Caprio late in the first half, went 13-for-25 for 167 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Mikal Abdul-Saboor carried 16 times for 87 yards and added four catches for 47 yards to pace the Tribe’s offense.

With UNH trailing 7-3, Steriti scored on an 18-yard run with 5:20 remaining in the second quarter to cap a nine-play, 92-yard drive. Andy Vailas connected with Harold Spears on the two-point conversion to stake UNH to its first lead, 11-7.

New Hampshire increased the lead to 18-7 with 16 seconds left in the opening half when Goldrich called his own number for a two-yard score.

Carpenter’s 23-yard field goal sliced UNH’s lead to 18-10 with 9:20 left in the third, and Tre McBride hauled in a 19-yard pass for his second touchdown catch of the contest with 4:06 left in the period. He was then on the receiving end of Graham’s two-point conversion pass to knot the score, 18-18.

Mike MacArthur broke the tie on a 24-yard field goal with 11:22 left in the fourth quarter to give the Wildcats a 21-18 lead.

The Tribe answered with a go-ahead, 13-play, 78-yard drive that concluded with Graham’s one-yard keeper on fourth-and-goal for a 25-21 lead with 6:00 to go.

Steriti’s second scoring run, a 19-yard rush, proved to be the game-winning score with 4:14 left to conclude a six-play, 84-yard drive and put the ‘Cats on top, 28-25. One play earlier, Goldrich hit Joey Orlando (eight catches-94 yards) on a 32-yard pass –the longest pass of the game- down the left sideline.

Keith Parkinson snuffed out the College’s next drive when he recorded his first career interception on Graham’s second-and-5 pass at the Wildcats’ 22 with 1:52 remaining in the contest.

The Tribe’s final drive ended on Graham’s Hail Mary incompletion from midfield as time expired.

Caprio’s 30-yard TD pass to Tre McBride allowed William & Mary to take a 7-0 lead at 4:12 of the first quarter.

MacArthur got UNH on the board with a 23-yard field goal with 13:45 left in the first to make the score 7-3.

DURHAM, N.H. – Andy Vailas scored a 77-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage and accounted for three TDs, but No. 19/16 Towson stormed past the No. 7/7 University of New Hampshire football team, 64-35, in Saturday’s CAA regularseason finale at Cowell Stadium.

Terrance West rushed 19 times for 236 yards and two touchdowns for Towson (7-4, 6-2 CAA), which claims a share of the CAA championship with UNH (8-3, 6-2), Richmond (8-3, 6-2) and Villanova (8-3, 6-2).

Vailas was the Wildcats’ leading rusher with a career-high 110 yards on eight carries, two of which went for TDs, and the signal caller went 3-for-9 through the air for 33 yards and a TD.

Vailas scored on a nine-yard rush late in the first quarter and completed an 18yard TD strike to Brian Ciccone with just under four minutes remaining in the second quarter. It was Ciccone’s first career TD reception.

Steven Thames (four tackles) scored on a 65-yard blocked field-goal return with no time left in the first half to draw the Wildcats within 30-28 at the intermission, but the Tigers outscored the ‘Cats 34-7 in the second half en route to their fourth consecutive victory.

Jared Smith (four tackles) blocked the aforementioned field goal and added a blocked PAT.

R.J. Harris (two catches-20 yards, TD) scored UNH’s final TD on a 16-yard reception from Sean Goldrich late in the fourth. Goldrich went 9 of 18 for 108 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

West, who set a career high with 261 rushing yards in last year’s game against New Hampshire, scored on a four-yard run in the first quarter that staked Towson to a 7-6 lead and added a five-yard scamper early in the fourth that ballooned the Tigers’ advantage to 50-28.

Towson quarterback Grant Enders went 20 of 28 for 245 yards and two TDs, and he added 11 carries for 39 yards and two rushing scores.

Dominique Booker rushed 13 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns as Towson racked up 415 rushing yards and 660 total yards of offense.

The Tigers held the Wildcats to 141 passing yards and forced three turnovers, highlighted by a 26-yard fumble recovery TD from Brian Boateng that capped a 27-point Tigers’ run for a 57-28 bulge with 8:08 left in the contest.

Matt Evans tallied a team-leading 12 tackles for New Hampshire, which saw its 10-game home winning streak snapped.

The Wildcats surrendered 64 points at Cowell Stadium for the first time since a 64-42 loss to Massachusetts on Nov. 19, 1988.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The 11th-ranked UNH football team forced three turnovers, highlighted by a 14-yard TD on a fumble recovery by Cody Muller, but No. 9 Wofford College defeated the Wildcats, 23-7, in Saturday’s NCAA second-round playoff game at Gibbs Stadium.

UNH, the co-CAA Champions, lost in the NCAA second round for the second straight season and dropped its third consecutive postseason contest to finish its season with a record of 8-4. Wofford, the co-Southern Conference champions, improved to 9-3.

Junior fullback Eric Breitenstein gashed UNH for 247 rushing yards and all three Wofford touchdowns on 22 carries. The Terriers, who only attempted six passes, accumulated 454 rushing yards on 77 carries.

Sean Goldrich went 17 of 29 for 113 yards; the redshirt freshman was intercepted twice, lost a fumble and was sacked four times.

Manny Asam racked up a game-high 12 tackles and forced a fumble. Playing in his final collegiate game, Matt Evans totaled 11 tackles and also forced a fumble.

Hayden Knudson established a career high with 10 tackles and recovered a fumble.

Muller added seven stops, five solo, and Jared Smith capped his UNH career with four tackles and a fumble recovery. Senior co-captain Alan Buzbee collected six tackles, including 1.5 for loss, and forced a fumble.

R.J. Harris notched 11 receptions for 78 yards; the All-CAA wide receiver ended his campaign with 84 catches (No. 4 in school single-season history) and 1,059 receiving yards (No. 6 in school single-season history).

An early gamble paid huge dividends for Wofford when Breitenstein took a fourth-and-one handoff through the middle of the line and scampered 54 yards for a touchdown at 11:51 of the first quarter for a 7-0 lead.

Wofford made it 13-0 on Breitenstein’s six-yard TD rush with 1:13 left in the half.

Kasey Redfern’s PAT clanked off the left upright, so the Terriers settled for a 13-0 lead.

UNH’s defense produced the first Wildcat points of the game. Buzbee forced a Donovan Johnson fumble that was scooped up by Muller and returned 14 yards for a TD that sliced Wofford’s lead to 13-7 at 12:15 of the third quarter.

Breitenstein scored his third touchdown of the contest when he rumbled 26 yards to restore Wofford’s 13-point lead, 20-7, with 9:58 left in the third.

The lead increased to 23-7 courtesy of Redfern’s 33-yard field goal at 2:57 of the third quarter.

The 454 rushing yards were the most surrendered by a UNH team since allowing 430 yards on the ground in a 49-36 victory against Rhode Island on Oct. 27, 2007. It also marked the second straight game an opponent eclipsed 400 yards rushing (Towson, 415, Nov. 17) and was five yards shy of the most rushing yards ever yielded by a New Hampshire team (459, vs Massachusetts, Nov. 13, 1965).

UNHFOOTBALL-2012CAAFootballCo-Champions

THE COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

Now six years under the CAA banner. CAA Football has raised the profile of what was once the Yankee Conference and later the Atlantic 10 Conference when it took the reins of the league in 2007. Over the past six years, the league has established itself as one of the nation’s premier FCS power conferences with regard to on-the-field success, television exposure, marketability and the success of its student-athletes on the field, in the classroom, in the community and at the next level.

Although CAA Football was not represented in the FCS National Championship game a season ago for just the second time since 2005, the league continued to enjoy tremendous success over the course of the 2012 season. This past fall was the first in CAA Football’s five-year agreement with the NBC Sports Group, in which six nationally televised tilts aired on the NBC Sports Network as part of the league’s 42 total televised contests. The CAA and CAA Football is the first collegiate athletic conference to sign a broadcast agreement with the NBC Sports Network, which launched on January 2, 2012.

CAA Football once again proved its prowess in matchups with nonconference foes, maintaining what has become a long tradition of success against non-league FCS opponents. The 2012 season saw the conference’s 11 member programs combine for an 18-7 (.720) mark in FCS nonconference play.

The league’s strong presence in the national polls remained another constant in 2012. The conference completed the season with six teams ranked in both The Sports Network and FCS Coaches polls. The six ranked programs represented an FCS best after as many as seven squads were ranked during the season. CAA Football remains the only league in the nation to have ever had six or more teams ranked in either top 25 poll. The league also leads the nation on another impressive front, as New Hampshire boasts FCS Football’s longest active streak at 126 consecutive weeks ranked in The Sports Network poll.

CAA Football had another heavy presence when it came to postseason awards as well, most notably after taking two of The Sports Network’s four national awards at the organization’s annual banquet in December. After the league locked up three of the four awards in 2011, Old Dominion quarterback Taylor Heinicke was named the Walter Payton Player of the Year and Villanova’s John Robertson received the Jerry Rice Freshman of the Year Award. Nova head coach Andy Talley would come up just short of winning his second Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award, finishing as the national runner-up for the honor.

The league has also set itself apart at the next level, as evidenced by reigning Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco and his four fellow CAA Football alums turned Baltimore Ravens who can now call themselves 2013 World Champions. This success in the professional ranks was also witnessed when four conference players in William and Mary’s B.W. Webb, James Madison’s Earl Watford, Richmond’s Cooper Taylor and New Hampshire’s Jared Smith were taken in April’s NFL Draft. The four draft selections were the league’s most since 2010.

CAA Football’s emphasis on its players’ off-the-field achievements was evident in 2012 as well. This fall, the league proudly introduced its inaugural Chuck Boone Leadership Award – honoring the player who best embodies the highest standards of leadership, integrity, teamwork and sportsmanship in his academic and athletic pursuits – to UNH’s Chris Zarkoskie, who was as active in the classroom and in the community as he was excellent on the field. In addition to his outstanding athletic accomplishments, UR’s Cooper Taylor was selected as CAA Football’s Student-Athlete of the Year after closing out his collegiate career with both Academic All-America and All-District accolades.

Following the departures of Georgia State and Old Dominion in the 2012-13 offseason, the league is now proud to welcome a pair of proven programs in UAlbany and Stony Brook to the conference this year. The Great Danes join the league after locking up a share of two straight Northeast Conference titles, while the Seawolves have secured four consecutive Big South Conference titles and two straight trips to the postseason. Both programs also closed out 2012 with a presence in the final national polls, as SBU finished No. 11/12 and UAlbany received votes in both polls.

The league has enjoyed a tremendous record in the postseason, earning 83 total postseason berths that includes 38 over the last decade. Playoff appearances aren’t where the success stops, however, which CAA Football’s 53 playoff wins since 2002 certainly prove. The conference has further established its presence at the national level by placing eight teams in the national semifinal round over the last six seasons and advancing a team to the national title game in four of the last six years.

Richmond’s 2008 National Championship and Villanova’s 2009 title mark the most recent national crowns for the league. In 2004, James Madison claimed the National Championship title with a 31-21 triumph over Montana, becoming the first team since the field expanded to 16 teams in 1986 to reach the championship game after winning three road playoff contests. Delaware rolled past Colgate, 40-0, to capture the National Championship in 2003, becoming the first team to ever post a shutout in the title game. No other conference has had two different teams win national titles in back-to-back years, and CAA Football has done it twice (2003-04 and 2008-09). Massachusetts earned a National Championship in 1998, defeating perennial power Georgia Southern, 55-43.

After Heinicke and Robertson received their respective national honors in December, CAA Football now boasts a total of 25 individual national award winners. In addition to Heinicke, New Hampshire quarterback Ricky Santos (2006), William and Mary quarterback Lang Campbell (2004), Villanova running back Brian Westbrook (2001), Villanova wide receiver Brian Finneran (1997), New Hampshire running back Jerry Azumah (1998) and Towson running back Dave Meggett (1988) have all won the prestigious Walter Payton Award under the league banner. James Madison linebacker Derrick Lloyd (2001) and defensive lineman Arthur Moats (2009) each received the Buck Buchanan Award prior to UNH linebacker Matt Evans’ honor in 2011. CAA Football has swept the Rice Award in both years of its existence after Robertson won it a year ago and Towson running back Terrance West did so in 2011. New Hampshire’s Sean McDonnell (2005), James Madison’s Mickey Matthews (1999 & 2008), Villanova’s Andy Talley (1997) and Boston University’s Dan Allen (1993) were Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award winners from the league before Towson head coach Rob Ambrose received the award in 2011. Delaware’s K.C. Keeler (2010), Richmond’s Mike London (2008), Matthews (2004), Massachusetts’ Mark Whipple (1998) and Talley (1997 & 2009) have all garnered the American Football Coaches Association National Coach of the Year honor as well.

The league continues to enjoy great success beyond the collegiate playing field, too. CAA Football has had 104 players drafted by NFL franchises dating back to 1948. A total of 28 players have been selected in the draft over the last 10 years, including the league’s second-highest draft pick ever in former Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco (18th overall to the Baltimore Ravens in 2008). There are more than 30 players currently on active NFL rosters as well.

With the additions of UAlbany and Stony Brook this year, CAA Football’s geographic footprint has only been further deepened up and down the East Coast, with schools located from Maine to Virginia. This season’s members include UAlbany, Delaware, James Madison, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Richmond, Stony Brook, Towson, Villanova and William and Mary. While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date back more than 60 years.

On December 3, 1946, the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Established as an all-sports conference for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except for football. Delaware and Richmond were admitted to the conference in 1986, Villanova was added in 1988 and James Madison, Northeastern and William and Mary joined the league in 1993. The Atlantic 10 assumed operation control of the conference from 1997-2006, with Hofstra becoming part of the league in 2001 and Towson joining the group in 2004.

PRESIDENT

THE ADMINISTRATION

Mark W. Huddleston was elected the 19th president of the University of New Hampshire in July 2007, bringing three decades of experience in public and private education as a faculty member, dean and senior administrator.

At UNH, President Huddleston oversees the implementation of a strategic plan that is transforming the University’s mission as the state’s flagship public research university and one the nation’s few land-, sea- and space-grant universities. Created through a collaboration of faculty, students, staff, alumni and the University’s wider communities, this effort challenges the University to be innovative, entrepreneurial and responsive so that it can remain vital and financially sustainable.

The plan continues to guide the University’s diverse work, from its response to a historic cut in state support in 2011 to the creation of groundbreaking new initiatives. Among these are: • the integration of UNH and the UNH School of Law (formerly Franklin Pierce Law Center), • an expansion of the UNH Manchester campus and the creation of the Emerging Technology Center, • the construction of the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics, • UNH’s participation in an agreement to double the number of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) graduates by 2025, • and the development of a comprehensive fundraising campaign.

President Huddleston has also advocated for a dramatic increase in international engagement. In 2010, UNH launched the state’s only Confucius Institute with a partnership with Chengdu University, entered a partnership with Navitas, an Australian firm that recruits and supports international students, and celebrated the 25th anniversary of the International Affairs Dual Major.

In May 2013, President Huddleston’s leadership as a strategic thinker, fiscal steward and collaborative problem-solver was recognized with his appointment to the newly formed Governor’s Commission on State Government Innovation, Efficiency and Transparency.

President Huddleston was raised in Syracuse, N.Y., and was the first member of his family to attend college. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from the State University of New York-Buffalo, and both a master’s degree and Ph.D. in political science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

He began his academic career at SUNY-Buffalo in 1977 as an assistant professor of political science. In 1980, he joined the faculty of the University of Delaware, where he served 24 years. There, he chaired the Department of Political Science and International Relations and was associate provost for international programs. In 2001, he was named dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, overseeing 45 academic departments and centers, and serving in that capacity until he was named president of Ohio Wesleyan University in 2004.

An author of numerous books and articles, he has been a consultant for both the U.S. government and international organizations. He also served as an adviser in Bosnia on rebuilding financial and administrative infrastructures after the Dayton accords.

President Huddleston is an incorporator of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and serves on the board of directors of the New Hampshire Business Committee for the Arts. He and his wife, Emma Bricker, have three children, Andy, Kate and Giles.

UNH FOOTBALL - NATION-LEADING 9 STRAIGHTNCAAAPPEARANCES

THE ADMINISTRATION

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

The 2013-14 academic year will mark Marty Scarano’s 14th year as Director of Athletics at UNH. During his tenure, Scarano has heightened national exposure for UNH athletics with academics, facility renovations and programmatic advancement being top priorities. His many accomplishments have played a key role in UNH being named one of the Top 20 Athletic Departments in the Country in U.S. News and World Report college athletics rankings.

The Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of UNH athletes in 2012-13 was 87 percent. The football team’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) of 978 was second in the CAA. In the America East Academic Cup, UNH finished second for the third time in the last four years, achieving a 3.18 cumulative grade-point average, its highest GPA in the 18-year history of the award.

New Hampshire led all institutions with 108 student-athletes on the 2012 America East Fall Academic Honor Roll while earning the highest percentage (72%) of student-athletes named to the 2012-13 America East Winter/ Spring Academic Honor Roll.

Scarano has helped elevate UNH athletics into the collegiate national arena. To accomplish that goal, the University has taken on the task of hosting major NCAA championships. The Wildcat athletic department has played host to highly successful NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Northeast Regionals at the Verizon Wireless Arena (Manchester, N.H.) in 2004, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013. UNH was host of the NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey Frozen Four at the Whittemore Center in 2002 and 2005. In addition, UNH successfully hosted the 2007 NCAA Skiing Championships in Washington Valley as well as the 2005 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Northeast Regional at the Whittemore Center Arena.

The women’s hockey team also played in the first outdoor game in the history of NCAA women’s hockey in 2010 at the Sun Life Frozen Fenway game and defeated Northeastern, while the men’s squad played in the 2012 Sun Life Frozen Fenway game against Maine. Football competed in Colonial Clash games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., where it defeated Massachusetts in both 2010 and 2011 to wrap up its longtime gridiron rivalry with the Minutemen.

During Scarano’s tenure, UNH teams have made 44 NCAA postseason appearances and captured 14 conference titles. Gymnastics has participated in 12 NCAA tournaments, leading all programs over that span. Men’s hockey holds a pair of Hockey East titles and has made 11 trips to the NCAA tournament, including Frozen Four appearances in 2002 and 2003. The football program has qualified for the NCAA FCS postseason for a nation leading nine consecutive seasons and advanced to the quarterfinals six times during the streak. Women’s ice hockey has seen NCAA action five times with two Frozen Four appearances. The squad also captured consecutive Hockey East Championships from 2006-09. The field hockey team captured its second ever America East crown in 2011 en route to its second national tournament appearance under Scarano’s tutelage. Volleyball made a pair of NCAA appearances after capturing back-to-back conference titles in 2002 and 2003.

Women’s lacrosse has too earned a pair of NCAA berths (2004, 2008), one coming after an America East championship victory in 2004.

Additionally, 24 head or assistant coaches have won 65 “Coach of the Year” awards during Scarano’s tenure, ranging from conference coach of the year to New England and Northeast Regional Coach of the Year, honors. Furthermore, head football coach Sean McDonnell garnered the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year by The Sports Network in 2005 after a stellar 11-2 campaign.

There has been over $10 million in capital improvements since Scarano’s hiring in the summer of 2000. Recently, the athletic training room was completely renovated over the winter break of the 2012-13 academic year. With a redesigned layout, energy efficient lighting and stateof-the art equipment, the athletic training room is larger, more comfortable, enjoyable and efficient for student-athletes and staff.

In 2012, a new scoreboard was installed at Cowell Stadium while the football locker room received a facelift as part of the most recent renovation phase. Changes to the locker room included a new lighting system while a 55-inch flat-screen TV and Fathead-designed murals featuring former players and UNH historical images were added to the walls. A memorial of Todd Walker was also added in honor of the former Wildcat wide receiver who suffered an untimely and heroic death in March of 2011.

As part of a $650,000 renovation project in the summer of 2011, the field turf at Bremner Field was replaced with a new state-of-the-art surface used by many varsity teams and for student recreational activities. In the fall of 2008, the Paul Sweet Oval renovation was completed to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture. The total cost of the project exceeded $500,000. In the summer of 2007, the Cowell Stadium grass field was replaced with a $1 million Field Turf synthetic surface. Additionally in 2007, a complete renovation of Lundholm Gymnasium was undertaken. The $600,000 overhaul included a new bleacher system, new scoreboards, competition baskets and other aesthetic enhancements.

In 2007, Scarano was awarded the National Association of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) AD of the Year for the FCS. He was named the All-American Football Foundation Athletic Director of the Year for FCS football in the Northeast region. Scarano has been an active member in the leadership of UNH’s three major conferences and was the chair of the executive committees for Atlantic 10 football, Hockey East and America East from 2003-2007. He also served as chair of the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Committee in 2005-06 and 200607 and is currently on the America East Executive Council. Most recently, Scarano was a member of the Hockey East restructuring team that successfully recruited Notre Dame and the University of Connecticut to the conference. Outside of athletics, Scarano is in his 11th year on the Board of Corporators at Canterbury Shaker Village, a non-profit museum located in Canterbury, N.H. Before arriving at UNH, Scarano held the position of Athletics Director at Colorado College from July 1996-June 2000. During his tenure, Colorado College was ranked among the top 20 Division III programs in the Sears Cup national standings and produced several All-Americans, all-academic award winners and NCAA post-graduate scholarship recipients. Prior to his stay in Colorado Springs, Scarano worked for 13 years at Colgate University, where he served as assistant director of athletics, director of physical education, associate director, and senior associate director.

Scarano, a native of Pittsburgh, Pa., is a 1978 graduate of Penn State University, where he started his athletic career as assistant ticket manager and the athletics events manager from 1980-83. Scarano holds a Master’s Degree in Environmental History from Colgate. He and his wife, Cydney, have three children, Lynden, Kyle, a junior at UNH, and Corey who will be enrolling at UNH as well this fall.

FOOTBALL SUPPORT STAFF

Jon Dana has been involved with the UNH athletic program since 1984. He began his career as an assistant athletic trainer and was promoted to men’s head athletic trainer in 1987 and head athletic trainer for the entire program in 1989. In 2001, he was named UNH’s Director of Sports Medicine. In addition to overseeing operations and supervising the Sports Medicine staff, Dana works specifically with the football and ski teams.

The Sports Medicine Department at UNH consists of eight full- and part-time certified and licensed athletic trainers. The department works out of two locations – the Field House and the Whittemore Center. Both athletic training rooms utilize currently available modalities, including muscle stimulators, ultrasound, heat, cryotherapy, and hydrotherapy.

Jon Cindy The athletic department renovated its Field House athletic training facility in early 2013. The modernized space features Dana Michaud improvements in lighting and layout that have improved the room’s functionality while providing student-athletes with a safer, more pleasant environment for treatment and rehabilitation. Renovated staff offices were enclosed in glass, and the ‘wet area’ that consists of cold tubs, whirlpools and the ice machine was afforded its own encased area with improved ventilation.

The Certified Athletic Trainer provides a myriad of services to the department and the student-athlete. These include, but are not limited to, initial injury assessment and management, emergency injury/illness management, referral to appropriate professionals, interface with associated physicians and others, rehabilitation, counseling, administrative duties, including insurance coordination, supervision of practices and games, development and implementation of emergency plans, as well as student athletic trainer supervision. The athletic training room is considered to be “a designated facility where comprehensive health care services are provided. Comprehensive health care services include practice and game preparation, injury/illness evaluation, first aid and emergency care, follow-up care, rehabilitation and related services.”

(National Athletic Trainers’ Association Education Council).

He is certified by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association and is a licensed athletic trainer in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and New Hampshire. In addition, Dana has a CPR Re-Certification and a Massachusetts Teacher Certification in physical education, health and science.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

Paul Chapman is in his 12th year as the director of strength and conditioning at the University of New Hampshire and John Ciani, also in his 12th year, serves as Associate Director of Strength and Conditioning.

Chapman and Ciani helped coordinate the building of the state-of-the-art Jerry Azumah Performance Center and both have been key in guiding UNH student-athletes to NCAA appearances in both women’s and men’s ice hockey, football, gymnastics, women’s volleyball, women’s lacrosse, field hockey, skiing and track and field.

Chapman is a member of the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (strength and conditioning coach Paul John certified), USA Weightlifting (certified level 1 coach), the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and he was the state director of the National Strength and Conditioning Association in North Dakota from 1991-95. In 2005, he earned the Chapman Ciani title of Master Strength and Conditioning Coach from the CSCCA. He has also authored four publications related to strength and conditioning and has trained and consulted several NFL, CFL and NHL athletes, and prospective athletes preparing for all-star games, bowl games and pre-draft testing.

Prior to UNH, Chapman was the director of strength and conditioning for the University of North Dakota from 1992-2001 and served there on an interim basis during the 1991-92 season. His efforts were an integral part of a winning tradition at UND, as the football team was the Division II national champions in 2001, the men’s ice hockey team won a Division I national title in 1997 and 2000 and the women’s basketball team was the Division II national champion in 1997, 1998 and 1999.

Chapman is a 1990 graduate of Dickinson State University in North Dakota with a B.S. degree in Biology. He then went on to earn at M.S. in Exercise Science from North Dakota in 1994.

An outstanding college athlete, Chapman was inducted into the Dickinson State Athletic Hall of Fame for his efforts on the football field. He was a two-time AllAmerica First Team selection as well as an All-America Second Team honoree in his four-year playing career. Upon graduation, he was a fourth-round draft choice of the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Canadian Football League, where he played for two seasons.

Ciani is very passionate about his commitment to strength and conditioning. He has taken his wide range of experiences to come up with a distinct sport-specific training philosophy. In conjunction with the coaching staff, Ciani develops individualized training programs depending on the athlete’s initial evaluation, experience level and current athletic ability. Under Ciani’s program, improvement is not based on the weight on the bar, but rather how injury resistant the student-athlete is and his/her athletic performance.

Strength and conditioning programs designed by Ciani utilize all facets of training, from conventional strength training and Olympic Weightlifting to simple conditioning and sport-specific metabolic runs that enhance the athlete’s abilities during competition. No single training style dominates the program; Ciani uses a combination of all training techniques for the total development of the student-athlete.

Ciani, a native of the San Diego, Calif. area, came to UNH after a stint as assistant strength coach at the University of North Dakota. During his tenure at UND, Ciani worked primarily with the 2001 Division II national championship football team, women’s volleyball and men’s basketball teams. In 2000, he began his career at Long Beach State as a graduate assistant working with the perennial national power women’s volleyball team, where he trained many All-American and national team level volleyball players, including Misty May. Ciani received his B.A. degree in Psychology from Long Beach State and attended graduate school at both Long Beach State and the University of North Dakota.

JERRY AZUMAH PERFORMANCE CENTER

As a starting tailback at the University of New Hampshire, Jerry Azumah ‘99 earned a reputation as an unstoppable record-breaker. By the time he graduated from the University and joined the Chicago Bears as a fifth-round draft pick, he had already smashed four NCAA FCS career records and been awarded the Walter Payton Award for his outstanding achievement as the nation’s top offensive player. At the age of 25, he did it again. With a gift to fund the Jerry Azumah Athletic Performance Center, he was the youngest UNH alum on record to give a gift of more than $100,000 to his alma mater. The gift provided funding for the renovation and complete overhaul, including state-of-the-art equipment of the University’s strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House.

The Azumah Performance Center opened in the summer of 2003. The massive workout facility, which was originally 4,000 square feet, grew to over 6,000 square feet during a summer renovation in 2009. The renovated center features 5,000 pounds of Olympic weights, 7,000 pounds of dumbbells, 18 Powerlift platform stations, 12 Hammer strength machines, an additional 15,000 pounds of weights and 1,500 square feet of warmup area.

“His National Football League profile will tell you that Jerry Azumah was 5-11, weighed 195, and played defensive cornerback with the Chicago Bears,” said Marty Scarano, University of New Hampshire athletic director. “What those statistics miss is the size of Jerry Azumah’s heart. We are so proud to have Jerry’s name affiliated with the University of New Hampshire.

Jerry was a leader while attending UNH and continues to set a great example as a graduate.”

Azumah is the son of Theophilius and Bertha Azumah, natives of Ghana who settled in Worcester, Mass. He came to UNH in 1995 as a freshman, majored in sociology, and minored in justice studies.

“My scholarship at UNH allowed me to pursue my interests in the classroom, build a successful college football career and changed my life on every level,” said Azumah. “I’m pleased to be able to make a major contribution to my university and to bring new opportunities to today’s student-athletes.”

During his four years at UNH, Azumah was an All-American tailback and has been referred to as a player who comes along once in a coach’s lifetime by former UNH football coach Bill Bowes. He holds numerous school records, including the record for touchdowns rushing (60) and overall TDs (69), and FCS records for rushing yards (6,193), all-purpose yards (8,376) and points scored (424). He had the six best — and eight of the top 10— UNH rushing games ever and holds the all-time FCS rushing record of 6,193 yards. At that time, he was the only runner in FCS history to have four 1,000-yard seasons.

Azumah is one of the only players in the history of the NFL to make the transition from offense to being a starting cornerback. In 2003 he became the first Wildcat to ever play in the Pro Bowl, where he excelled as a return specialist. He was a full-time starter at cornerback from 2001 through 2005 and made significant contributions on defense. Azumah holds the distinction of being the last Chicago Bear to score a touchdown at Soldier Field when he intercepted Donovan McNabb in a divisional playoff game versus the Philadelphia Eagles and ran 39 yards for a touchdown Jan. 19, 2002. The play gave the Bears a 14-13 lead in the third quarter.

Azumah announced his retirement from NFL football in 2006 due to injuries, but he continues to keep in touch with his alma mater and is always looking for new ways he can help the University, the athletic department and the Wildcat football program.

FOOTBALL FACILITIES

Cowell Stadium/Mooradian Field

The home of Wildcat football for the past 77 years is historic Cowell Stadium, located at the west end of the UNH campus in Durham. Thanks to a generous donation by the late Ed Fish, the field had a facelift in the form of a brand new FieldTurf surface, which was installed prior to the start of the 2007 season.

Known as Alumni Field until 1952, the stadium was made possible by contributions of the UNH Alumni and was the first project of the Alumni Fund in the history of the University. Dedicated as a part of the Lewis Fields on Oct. 10, 1936, the stadium replaced what is now Memorial Field, the current home for the women’s lacrosse and field hockey teams. The largest crowd for a football game in Cowell Stadium occured on Nov. 12, 1977, when 20,000 watched the Wildcats fall to UMass, 19-6, in a showdown for the Yankee Conference crown. The stadium is named for the former Wildcat athletics director and football coach, William H. “Butch” Cowell, who came to Durham from the Haskell Institute in 1915 and proceeded to change the face of athletics at the University.

Over the first 22 years of intercollegiate football, New Hampshire managed just 23 victories. At the end of his 22-year coaching career (1915-36), Cowell had amassed an 84-67-22 mark, including stunning upsets over Army, Holy Cross and Brown. A founder of the American Football Coaches Association, Cowell served as the organization’s president in 1925 and, until his death, served as the AFCA’s permanent secretary-treasurer (1925-40). On Oct.18, 1952, at the Homecoming game versus Springfield College, the stadium was rededicated in Cowell’s honor during halftime ceremonies. UNH honored former athletics director Andy Mooradian by dedicating the playing field in his name during halftime ceremonies on Homecoming (1996). Mooradian was involved with Wildcat athletics for 45 years as a player, coach and administrator. He served as UNH’s athletics director from 1966-86, guiding the program from the NCAA II level to Division I during his tenure. A national leader on the intercollegiate athletic scene, Mooradian was president of NACDA, the ECAC and the Yankee Conference and was a member of several prominent NCAA committees.

The James H. “Red” Hayes Locker Room

Solely for the use of the football players and staff is the James H. “Red” Hayes Football Locker Room, located on the bottom level of the Field House adjacent to Cowell Stadium.

Constructed in 1988, the locker room was a gift of Red Hayes (‘32), a former Wildcat player under legendary coach William Cowell, who went on to a successful business career and gave distinguished service to the State of New Hampshire. The locker room features 110 separate lockers that accommodate each player’s equipment and uniform, as well as a players’ lounge adjacent to the locker area.

Locker room renovations during the summer of 2012 led to the installation of a new lighting system, the addition of a 55-inch flat screen TV and Fathead-designed murals (pictured right) featuring historical Wildcat moments. The Brice-Cowell Musket (below), which goes to the winner of the annual UNH-Maine gridiron battle, resides on the wall of the locker room.

A locker memorial for Todd Walker was added in honor of the former Wildcat who suffered an untimely and heroic death in March 2011 while protecting a female friend.

UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

The University of New Hampshire was originally founded as a land-grant college whose mission was to shape and educate citizenry among the state’s farmers, business people and engineers. Today, the University is a land-, sea-, and space-grant university serving a growing undergraduate student body of about 11,942 and a graduate population of 2,257 in addition to 621 full-time faculty members, 86% of which have earned their doctorate degree. The University has grown into a top public research university occupying 2,600 acres of classic living and learning space while still maintaining the look and feel of a New England liberal arts college with a faculty dedicated to teaching. UNH’s student to faculty ratio registers at 18:1 with 85% of its classes having 50 students or less.

HISTORY

As one of the most prestigious institutions in the Northeast, the University of New Hampshire has always been recognized as a leader in education and research, spanning all fields of study and uniting them through interdisciplinary programs, labs, farms, theatres, research centers and libraries.

Founded in 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, UNH was among the early state institutions of higher education whose formation was made possible by federal government land grants. The purpose for the grants was to establish colleges that would serve the sons and daughters of farming and laboring families.

New Hampshire College was originally situated in Hanover, N.H. Here it was in connection with Dartmouth College before moving to Durham in 1893 after Benjamin Thompson bequeathed land and money to further the development of the college. The state legislature then granted its new charter as the University of New Hampshire in 1923.

The University hosts 733 international students from more than 45 countries and boasts a population of students from all 50 states. Along with over 100 majors offered, UNH encompasses seven schools and colleges that undergraduates can choose from: the College of Liberal Arts, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, School of Health
