Sports Medicine Certified Athletic Trainers (ATC’s) are the liaison between the student-athlete and the medical community. The primary goal of the sports medicine staff is to provide health care for student-athletes competing at the intercollegiate level for Stony Brook University. The Seawolves sports medicine staff consists of BOC (Board of Certification) certified athletic train-ers and athletic training students from the Athletic Training Ed-ucation Program who are under the supervision and direction of Dr. Stuart Cherney, Head Team Physician, In addition, the Stony Brook Student Health Service and many medical spe-cialists in the community assist the athletic trainers and team physicians in providing quality health care for the Seawolves. Athletic trainers are an integral part of every intercollegiate athletic program to ensure that student-athletes are competing in a safe and healthy environment. Each Stony Brook student-athlete is monitored with yearly athletic physicals, medical questionnaires, and orthopaedic baseline examinations. On a daily basis, the sports medicine staff directly supervises all high-risk sport activities and serves as the primary healthcare practitioner for all student-athletes. Preventive measures are taken to reduce the risk of injury and/or re-injury. Should a student-athlete become injured, the certified athletic trainer recognizes and diagnoses the injury, provides immediate care, makes a timely referral (if necessary), initiates treatment and develops/directs a rehabilitation plan for all injuries. Education of student-athletes is extremely important in the areas of injury prevention, nutrition, hygiene, substance abuse, etc. This is coordinated through the done through the sports medicine staff. Stony Brook University has two (2) Athletic Training Rooms. Both have state of the art equipment for injury treatment, such as cold compression units, electrical modalities and emer-gency equipment. The Intercollegiate Athletic Training Room is located in the Indoor Sports Complex just off the Arena floor to the rear of the building. It houses more specialized reha-bilitation devices such as: Biodex, treadmill, exercise bikes, balance devices, and Exogen units; as well as a diagnostic Flouroscan machine. The Stadium Athletic Training Room is located on the field level of the LaValle Stadium. Both facili-ties are fully equipped and functional for everyday practice and game-day operations.

Stony Brook University, through the School of Health Technology and Management, offers an Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP), which became CAATE accredited in September 2004. The program has four full time faculty members in addition to several adjunct professors with an Athletic Training Lab to help guide the ATEP students towards becoming Certified Athletic Trainers. A notable alumnus of the Stony Brook athletic training pro-gram is Lisa White, MA, ATC, Stony Brook ‘87, inducted into the Stony Brook Hall of Fame in May ‘98. Lisa is the Head Athletic Trainer with the WNBA New York Liberty. Lisa was a superb student athletic trainer during her undergraduate years at Stony Brook, where she also excelled in women’s basketball. In addition, several other alumni of the Athletic Training program have gone on to become certified athletic trainers at the high school, college and clinic levels, as well as entered other allied health care professions such as: medical doctor, physician assistant, physical therapy, occupational therapy and respiratory therapy.

Coaching Staff

Allison Comito enters her fifth season as head women’s lacrosse coach in 2010. The America East women’s lacrosse coach of the year in 2007, 12 different Seawolves have earned all-conference honors during Comito’s time.

Following the 2009 season in which Stony Brook posted a 4-12 record, she spent the early part of the summer as an assistant coach with the inaugural Irish women’s lacrosse team at the World Cup in the Czech Republic. Comito, alongside Stony Brook great Kaitlin Leggio, guided Ireland to a 6-1 record and a fifth-place finish.

Comito helped Stony Brook to a 9-6 record including wins over rivals Binghamton and Albany and the program’s first victory over Hofstra to cap the 2008 season. Five players earned all-confer-ence honors including the selection of Leggio to the first team for the third straight year.

The 2007 season was marked by unprecedented success as the team went 13-4 and won the conference’s regular season champi-onship. Under Comito’s guidance, seven players were named to all-America East honors including Leggio’s selection as the Player of the Year. In 2006, Comito reshaped the Seawolves as interim head coach, going 9-9 in her first season and in doing so, guided Leggio to America East Rookie of the Year honors, a first in the program’s history. Prior to joining Stony Brook, Comito spent three years as a teach-ing assistant at the North Shore Middle School in Glen Head, N.Y., while serving as the varsity girls assistant coach. As a player, Comito enjoyed a standout career at the University of Maryland as one of its best players in school history. Comito amassed 176 goals and 89 assists in her four years at Maryland and is fourth all-time in goals scored. A two-time first-team All-America and three-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection, Comito was part of four consecutive national championships at Maryland along with lacrosse greats Quinn Carney, Christie Jen-kins and Jen Adams, arguably the best women’s lacrosse player ever. As a senior, she scored the game-winning goal with eight seconds left in double overtime to give the Terrapins a 14-13 win over Georgetown in front of 7,000 fans at Johns Hopkins in the national championship game. Prior to graduating from Maryland in July of 2002 with a degree in sociology, Comito served as an undergraduate assistant at her alma mater, creating offensive plays, one-on-one sessions with players and coordinating team travel.

Molly Lambert is in her fifth season as assistant coach in 2010. Working with the midfield and defense, Lambert has helped es-tablish a defensive mentality as Stony Brook has consistenly been one of the nation’s leaders in ground balls per game, ranking third in 2008. In 2007, she helped goalie Jen Sandtorv to a .515 save percentage good for 10th in the country. Prior to Stony Brook, Lambert spent time playing lacrosse in South Australia and coached girls ages 14-17. She also spent each summer during her collegiate career working as an instructor at the All-American Lacrosse Camps. A defensive standout at the University of Maryland, Lambert was a three-year starter, playing in each game in 2003 and 2004. Lambert won an NCAA Championship in 2001 as a teammate of Comito. She also played alongside former Seawolf Kaitlin Leggio’s sister, Kristie. In her four years, Lambert scored 12 goals and had six assists, spending time at attack and midfield and was team captain in 2004. Lambert graduated from Maryland in 2004 with a degree in family studies.

Maegan Cosgrove is in her third season as the Seawolves’ goalie coach. Cosgrove joined the women’s lacrosse team in 2008 and helped Jamie Carlson and Mickey Cahill combine for four straight wins to end that season.

A 2002 graduate of Manhattan College with a degree in education, Cosgrove was a two-sport athlete for the Jaspers, playing soccer and lacrosse. She earned first team all-MAAC honors and was the the conference’s lacrosse tournament MVP in 2000.

After graduating from Manhattan, Cosgrove spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Salisbury University. While at Salisbury, Cosgrove earned a master’s degree in secondary education.

Cosgrove then spent two years as a physical education teacher and lacrosse coach at The Benenden School in Kent, England.

Currently a teacher at Sachem East High School, Cosgrove is an assistant women’s lacrosse at the school as well.

Season Outlook When the Stony Brook women’s lacrosse team opens the season against Colgate on February 13, to say it will look different would be understatement. Four-year starters Kaitlin Leggio ‘09, Jenna Spenard ‘09 and Amy Hallion ‘09 graduated as did Jenna Celano ‘09 and Kim Wodiska ‘09. So what’s to be ex-pected from the Seawolves in 2010? A talented core of upperclassmen mixed in with the largest recruit-ing class in head coach Allison Comito’s tenure could steer Stony Brook back to its winning ways. Despite the loss of attackers, Celano and Wodiska, SBU has its second-leading scorer from a year ago, junior Samantha Djaha (East Islip, N.Y.), returning. Djaha scored 23 goals and has 49 in two years. Comito expects Djaha to continue to be one of the Seawolves’ top scorers this year and will have to pick up even more of the scoring punch. A pair of sophomores, Abby Ford (Baltimore, Md.) and Jackie Hughes (Rockville Centre, N.Y.), will be key ingredients. Both players saw significant ac-tion as freshmen and will be counted on to aid in the Seawolves’ offensive attack. “Abby has a really good eye for attack, and if she plays up to her potential, she could be vital for setting up quality scoring opportuni-ties,” Comito said. Junior Abby Juliani (Jenkintown, Pa.), who has seen limited action in her first two years, could also see time. Freshman Kerry Kresse (Setauket, N.Y.), a local product from Ward Melville, could be one of five new-comers to see time immediately. “Kerry is a strong

low attacker who can fill in as the feeder we really haven’t had since Carlee Buck,” Comito said. Comito also points to fresh-men Kaitlyn Harrison (West Babylon, N.Y.) and Matte Scully (Huntington, N.Y.) as potential contributors at attack. Har-rison joins the Seawolves after

earning Academic All-American and all-Suffolk County honors as a junior and senior. Scully, a strong two-way player for Huntington, adds a lot of athleticism. “I have high expectations for Katie

and Matte,” Comito said. We believe they have a lot of potential and expect them to make strong contribu-tions.” With the graduation of practically all of its midfield-ers, much of the scoring punch will come from juniors Courtney Bertolone (Farmingville, N.Y.), Victoria Cable (Oakton, Va.) and Melissa Cook (Bay Shore, N.Y.). Bertolone will move from attack to midfield this year to make up for some of the losses to graduation. Cook’s 33 points (18g, 15a) make her the team’s leading returning scorer and Bertolone and Cable enter 2010 after scoring 15 goals apiece as sophomores. Hughes could also

see time in the midfield as a complement to Cook, Bertolone and Cable. Freshmen Jessica Romano (Massapequa, N.Y.) and Justyne Passarelli (Glen Head, N.Y.), both tremendous athletes, could each make huge impacts as mid-fielders from the start. Romano

bolsters the offense from the posi-tion and Passarelli could be a defensive plus. Unlike the attack and midfield positions, the Sea-wolves return the majority of their defense. Senior Kelley Sweeney (Bay Shore, N.Y.), who started all 14 games she played in, is one of two seniors on the ros-ter joining Bridgid Callahan (Hanover, Md.). Juniors Trish Molfetta (Carmel, N.Y.) and Cori Kennedy (North Babylon, N.Y.), by far, have the most game experience on the defensive unit. Both started all 16 games and will continue to be the defensive stoppers. Along with the defensive unit, both goalies from a year ago return. Junior Mickey Cahill (Bay Shore, N.Y.) gained a ton of experience as the primary netminder in 2009. Healthy after missing most of last year with an illness, junior Jamie Carlson (Glen Cove, N.Y.) will challenge Cahill for playing time.

About America East... Now in its third decade of operation, America East has evolved into one of the most comprehensive NCAA Division I confer-ences with a commitment to broad-based, competitive athletics programs, complementing the academic integrity and missions of the member institutions.

Progressive in its approach to its more than 3,200 student-athletes, America East recognizes champions in each of its 20 sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball. America East also conducts the nation’s most comprehensive academic recognition program for student-athletes.

With a geographic footprint covering the Mid-Atlantic to Northeast regions of the United States, America East strives to develop champions in academics, athletics and leadership at its nine member institutions: University at Albany, Binghamton University, Boston University, University of Hartford, University of Maine, UMBC, University of New Hampshire, Stony Brook University and University of Vermont. Athletic Success...Boston University won the Stuart P. Haskell, Jr. Commissioner’s Cup for the fourth straight year and seventh time in the last eight seasons after capturing a conference-best seven championships, four regular-season titles and four runner-up finishes during the 2008-09 season.

Nineteen America East student-athletes earned All-America rec-ognition, including one in men’s basketball, one in men’s soccer, six in men’s lacrosse, four in women’s lacrosse and nine in cross country/track & field.

Three women’s basketball teams – Boston University, Hartford and Vermont – reached the postseason, tying a conference record set in 1999.

Boston University defeated Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round of the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship to give America East at least one NCAA win in seven of the last eight years, and the conference RPI (No. 6) was America East’s highest ever.

Boston University became the first women’s soccer champion to complete an unbeaten and untied conference slate since 2000 and made its fourth straight NCAA appearance.

UMBC (No. 9), which won its second straight America East Men’s Lacrosse Championship, and Stony Brook (No. 20) were ranked in the final USILA national poll, while Albany was also ranked during the season.

Sarah Dalton, a first-team All-American in women’s lacrosse, led Boston University to its fifth straight conference title. The Terriers (No. 11) and New Hampshire (No. 20) were ranked in the final IWLCA national poll.

Stony Brook women’s cross country competed at the NCAA Women’s Cross Country Championship for the second straight season.

Boston University reached the championship round of its NCAA Softball Regional with wins over Iowa and Auburn, matching the best finish ever by an America East team.

Academic Success...University of Vermont captured its fifth straight America East Academic Cup in 2009 after its student-athletes registered a

cumulative 3.14 grade-point average, which tied the league’s best mark ever. Six other schools also earned a 3.0 GPA or better.

America East’s 3,200 student-athletes registered a combined 3.05 GPA during the 2008-09 academic year, and over 60 percent of them were named to America East’s Academic Honor Roll for recording a GPA of 3.0 or better.

Connor Tobin (Vermont), Dan Schultz (Boston University) and Cornelia Carapcea (UMBC) were tabbed ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans, while 26 others were All-District selec-tions.

University of Vermont’s Connor Tobin (soccer) and Kristen Millar (lacrosse) were the America East Male and Female Scholar-Ath-letes of the Year, respectively.

Twenty-one student-athletes were recognized as America East Scholar-Athletes and 167 received All-Academic recognition in their respective sport.

Nineteen America East teams were publicly recognized by the NCAA for their multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR), finish-ing among the top 10 percent of teams in the nation, with nine programs receiving perfect scores of 1000.

LeadershipUniversity of Vermont women’s lacrosse standout Kristen Millar was selected the 2009 America East Woman of the Year for a dis-tinguished career in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, service and leadership.

Hartford tennis player Rich Leiberman and the Maine softball team were named the America East Male and Female Sports-manship Award winners.

University at Albany appointed George M. Philip as its 18th presi-dent, while Stony Brook University named Dr. Samuel Stanley its next president.

Patrick Chambers, who helped lead Villanova to a Final Four as a men’s basketball assistant coach in 2009, took over as Boston University’s next head coach. Binghamton’s Kevin Broadus, New Hampshire’s Bill Herrion and Stony Brook’s Steve Pikiell eachreceived contract extensions.

Three-time All-America East selection Jose Juan Barea (North-eastern) averaged 7.8 points and 3.4 assists in 79 games for the Dallas Mavericks in 2008-09, while three-time America East Player of the Year Malik Rose (Drexel) played in 38 games for the New York Knicks and Oklahoma City Thunder. Former Hartford star Vin Baker and three-time America East Player of the Year Reggie Lewis (Northeastern), who captained the Boston Celtics at the time of his premature death, combined to make five NBA All-Star appearances during their careers.

Current women’s basketball coaches Jennifer Rizzotti (Hartford) and Cindy Blodgett (Maine) have appeared in WNBA action.

Carlos Pena, the 1998 Baseball Scholar-Athlete at Northeastern, has made an impact each of the past three seasons in Tampa Bay, earning American League Comeback Player of the Year hon-ors in 2007, winning an American League Gold Glove at first base in 2008 and making his first All-Star appearance in 2009, while the Minnesota Twins’ Joe Nathan, a former Academic All-Ameri-can at Stony Brook, played in his fourth Mid-Summer Classic.

Seven former America East men’s lacrosse standouts appeared in the Major League Lacrosse All-Star Game in 2009, including Merrick Thomson, a four-time all-conference selection at Albany who was named the 2008 Warrior Most Improved Player. John Grant (Delaware), the 1999 America East Player of Year, was the league’s Most Valuable Player last season.

Albany’s Steward Ceus became the third America East player taken in the Major League Soccer Draft, going 37th overall to the Colorado Rapids. Fellow former Great Dane Bouna Coundoul recorded 16 career shutouts in 52 career games for the Rapids before signing with the New York Red Bulls in July.

Director of Athletics

On July 23, 2003, President Shirley Strum Kenny introduced Jim Fiore as the ninth Director of Athletics in Stony Brook University history, stating “Jim has the energy, drive, enthusiasm and intelligence to take this program, in the tradition of Stony Brook, very far, very fast.” At the time of his hire Fiore was one of the youngest Directors of Athletics in NCAA Division I. Since his arrival at Stony Brook from Princeton University in August 2003, Fiore has pointed Stony Brook on an aggressive course for success in all aspects of intercollegiate athletics. He has undertaken a major restructuring of the intercollegiate athletics program, including the hiring of new coaching and administrative staff, dramatic facility upgrades and improved revenue generation. Fiore’s vision for Stony Brook athletics has resulted in unprecedented growth for the program. After its championship season in 2005, the football program was elevated to the NCAA I-AA scholarship level, and in April 2006, Fiore announced that the program would upgrade to Independent status for the 2007 season and accepted an invitation into the Big South Conference as an associate member for football only. In doing so, he has ensured the long-term future of Stony Brook football, enabling it to eventually compete for a national championship alongside institutions with similar academic and athletic standards. In addition, his dynamic imaging and branding campaign has given Stony Brook athletics a national scope. During the 2005-2006 academic year, Stony Brook inked a television deal with Madison Square Garden (MSG) Network to broadcast a multi-game package during the 2006-2007 academic year, the first television deal in the program’s history. In January 2006, the department also launched The Stony Brook Sports Report, a 30-week television show that is produced on campus and aired nationally on CSTV. Fiore also spearheaded the bid that resulted in Stony Brook being awarded the opportunity to host the NCAA Division I men’s lacrosse north quarterfinals in May 2006. Fiore’s grand design has produced dramatic results and a series of firsts for Stony Brook. In 2004, the baseball team won its first America East title and went to the NCAA Tournament. In the fall of 2005, the football program secured its first-ever conference title in its Division I history. On the same day that the football team won a championship, the men’s soccer team capped its regular-season title by capturing its first America East Tournament crown to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. The men’s soccer team went on to notch Stony Brook’s first NCAA playoff victory with a first-round win over Yale. Success continued during the winter months as the women’s basketball team put together the second-best turnaround in Division I, going from 8-20 in 2004-2005 to a 20-10 mark in 2005-2006. Along the way, the team defeated nationally-ranked Temple en route to receiving the program’s first postseason bid, a trip to the 2006 WNIT. In the spring of 2005, the men’s lacrosse team garnered its first-ever Top 20 ranking in the 16-year history of the program and is now regularly ranked in the top-20. Under Fiore’s leadership, Stony Brook won its first Division I conference championships in women’s sports in 2007 as the women’s lacrosse, cross country and volleyball teams all won titles. Fiore also has turned his attention to department-wide fundraising efforts, with his efforts resulting in an increase of more than 55 percent in both annual giving revenue and number of donors. In an effort to take a lead role in the university’s $300 million capital campaign, the Department of Athletics has secured several major gifts, two of which were the largest philanthropic gifts given to athletics in its history. In July 2005, Fiore hired a Senior Associate Director of Athletics for External Services & Advancement and adopted a new philosophy for the annual Providing Athletes With Support (P.A.W.S.) fundraising campaign, a philosophy that streamlined the annual fundraising process to prepare Stony Brook to exceed all fundraising expectations in the future. In addition, he created the Athletic Director Advisory Council, a 19-member board comprised of Stony Brook alumni, staff and community members that will advise Fiore in the fundraising advancement process. His attention to the bottom line resulted in a new athletic department budget process that relieved the department of an annual systemic deficit, resulting in a balanced budget for the 2004-2005 academic year, the first time that Stony Brook realized that goal since moving to the Division I level. Fiore has seen the department balance its budget every year since and has overseen a budget growth from $9 million to $14 million. Beginning in the ‘04-’05 academic year, Stony Brook University athletics realized a near 20 percent increase in its operating budget due to new revenue streams for the department. Additionally, Stony Brook has teamed with Islanders Media Inc. as the athletic department continues to nurture and foster strong bonds with the Long Island corporate community. Fiore has secured $30 million from New York State for athletic facility renovations to the Stony Brook University Basketball Arena, Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium and various other athletic facilities. In December 2003, Stony Brook retained HOK, the premier

sports architectural firm in the nation, to formulate and develop a master plan for the future of Stony Brook athletic facilities. The blueprint already has begun to take hold: The baseball/softball complex received a facelift with the addition of new bleachers and press boxes, the strength and conditioning facility was renovated and expanded and the Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium is going to have a $6 million expansion that will include increasing seating by 2,000 and new Club and V.I.P. seating. Additionally a $20 million renovation of the Stony Brook University Basketball Arena will commence in Spring 2008 as well as a $1.2 million renovation to the Pritchard Gymnasium complex. The football, men’s lacrosse, women’s lacrosse and visiting team locker rooms in LaValle Stadium recently were redesigned and enhanced for $1,000,000. Under Fiore’s leadership, Stony Brook student-athletes also have attained new levels of achievement in the classroom. Since his arrival the GPA for student-athletes has risen from 2.86 in 2003 to 3.11 in the fall of 2007. The ‘07-’08 academic year proved to be Stony Brook’s most successful season academically as its student-athletes compiled a department best overall G.P.A. of 3.06 and saw 339 student-athletes named to the America East honor roll - the most since the university joined the America East in 2001. In the fall of 2007, 15 of 20 teams earned team GPAs above 3.0 and 71 percent of Stony Brook’s student-athletes were named to the America East Honor Roll or the America East Commissioner’s Honor Roll for earning above a 3.0 or 3.5 GPA, respectively. Coinciding with this success, Stony Brook unveiled the new Goldstein Student-Athlete Development Center in the spring of 2006, a center made possible through a $1.2 million gift from Stony Brook alum and former All-American squash player Stuart Goldstein ‘74. The 6,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility can accommodate more than 400 student-athletes and features a computer lab, a study hall/multipurpose function room, a career resource/library area and several private tutor rooms. During his tenure, Fiore also has guided Stony Brook through the essential and formative NCAA Certification process, helped redesign the athletic logo and athletic website, developed a new comprehensive student-athlete exit survey and head coach performance evaluation instrument, implemented mandatory drug testing, and unveiled an athletic department strategic plan through 2011. Fiore also has instituted a “Book of the Year” program for coaches and staff that highlights important topics relevant to professional and personal development, culminating with the author’s visit to campus and discussion with the entire staff. In the fall of 2004, Fiore implemented a Minority Apprentice program to assist in the development of young professionals in intercollegiate athletics. His list of accomplishments has not gone unnoticed. In December 2007 Fiore was named the Sports Man of the Year by The Village Times Herald and in the fall of 2004, he was recognized by the Long Island Business Association as one of the Top 40 executives under the age of 40 on Long Island.
