Now with a full decade of experience at the Division I level, a new chapter has begun for the Quinnipiac University Department of Athletics. The Bobcats have shown great success in such a
small period of time, immediately announcing themselves on the Division I landscape with numerous national tournament appearances since the advancement to the NCAA’s most elite division. Although Quinnipiac began Division I competition at the start of the 1998–99 season, the process began a few years earlier when Quinnipiac President John L. Lahey sent a letter to the NCAA announcing Quinnipiac’s intention to enter the country’s highest athletic division. Jack McDonald, director of athletics and recreation, said it was neces-sary to make the switch to Division I because of potential student-ath-letes and other applicants interested in Quinnipiac. “Prospective students who were interested in Quinnipiac were also applying to Fairfield, Hartford, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine,” McDonald said. “We found the general interest of Quinnipiac had risen from a Division II/III school to a Division I school.” Since Quinnipiac’s official entrance into Division I on Sept. 2, 1998, the athletic department has experienced tremendous growth. The coaching staffs have made the transition from part-time to full-time, and the Athletic and Recreation Center has doubled in size. In 13 years the number of full-time staff members increased from about 25 to 65. Perhaps the most visible change was the opening of the 185,000-square-foot TD Bank Sports Center in January 2007, home of the men’s and women’s basketball and ice hockey teams. Despite the added emphasis on athletics, Quinnipiac continues to hold a reputation for high academic standards. Numerous teams and individual stu-dent-athletes have been nationally recognized for their work in the classroom over the last decade. “Every student-athlete goes to college for two reasons — to get a degree and make the NCAA tournament,” McDonald remarked. “Our gradua-tion rate and GPA is higher than the rest of the student body. I’m very proud of that. Most student-athletes will never play professionally, but they all need their degree.” Last academic school year, Quinnipiac recognized special moments and players from the Bobcats’ first full decade at the Division I level.
Because there were so many deserving moments in the last decade, it was extremely difficult to narrow down the list. For example, was announcing the “Bobcats” as the University’s new nickname on August 27, 2002, one of the all-time top moments, or the baseball team advancing to the 2005 NCAA Regionals against Texas. Maybe it was the men’s and women’s Ice Hockey teams’ invitation to ECAC Hockey on July 9, 2004, or was it the women’s soccer team winning Quinnipiac’s first-ever game at the Division I level in September 1998? The 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons alone could have produced four of the top 10 moments with women’s cross country winning a NEC-record sixth and seventh straight championship, men’s basket-ball reaching back-to-back National Postseason Tournaments (NIT and CIT), men’s ice hockey ranked fourth nationally and women’s ice hockey hosting an ECAC Hockey Tournament series. Although the 2010-11 season capped off the University’s first full decade of the competition at the Division I level, there is even higher potential for the years ahead. With all the successes the teams accomplished in the past, there is room for greater achievements in the future including: increasing the teams’ graduation rate and GPA, increasing the number of teams that advance to NCAA tournaments, and winning NCAA tournament games. The importance of strong academics and athletics advancing together is essential for greater suc-cess at the Division I level. “We’ve become such a successful program with a beautiful campus, great facilities, student-athletes who excel academically and coaches who do a great job with the total well-being of the student-athlete,” McDonald said. “It’s been a tremendous transition for the inisitution.”

A year later, Moore guided the Bobcats to a 22-10 record and a home game in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. Rutty was named to the All-NEC First Team for the third straight year, while James Johnson joined him among the league’s top five players, giving Moore back-to-back years guiding a pair of All-NEC First Team members.
A large part of the Bobcats’ success in 2009-10 and 2010-11 was their prowess on the boards. Quinnipiac was one of four teams – Kansas, Kentucky and Radford – to finish the year in the top 10 in the country in both rebounding margin and rebounds per game in 2009-10, before repeating the feat in 2010-11, join-ing Pittsburgh and Old Dominion. Quinnipiac finished 2009-10 behind only Michigan State (+8.6) in rebound margin at +8.5, while taking 10th in the nation in rebounds per game at 40.4.
Individually, Rutty finished second in the nation in offen-sive rebounds per game (4.9) for the second consecutive year in 2009-10. The Bobcats led the nation in offensive rebounds per game (16.3) in 2010-11, while finishing second in rebounds per game (42.5) and fourth in rebounding margin (+9.3). Under Moore’s direction, Rutty finished his career as the Northeast Conference’s all-time leading rebounder (1,032).
In the classroom, Moore led the greatest turnaround of any team in NCAA Division I during his first three years as head coach. According to a study prepared by FoxSports.com’s Jason Belzer, the Bobcats increased their Academic Progress Rate (APR), as compiled by the NCAA, by 219 points, more than any other program in the nation in that time.
In 2008-09, Moore was named the CollegeInsider.com Northeast Conference Coach of the Year after guiding Quinnipiac a fifth-place finish in the NEC standings despite a rash of injuries. Quinnipiac upset No. 4 Long Island in the NEC Tournament on the Blackbirds home court before losing to even-tual NEC Tournament Champion Robert Morris.
Moore also guided three players to All-NEC accolades in 2008-09. Junior James Feldeine and sophomore Justin Rutty became the first Quinnipiac duo to lead the conference in scor-ing and rebounding, respectively. Rutty received First Team recognition, while Feldeine was named to the Second Team and receiving the first Northeast Conference Most Improved Player Award in the league’s history. Freshman James Johnson was also named to the All-NEC Rookie Team. Landing Rutty on the first team and Johnson on the all-rookie team, marked the second consecutive year that Moore had a player on each team.
In addition to on-court honors, Moore was recognized by several members of the media for his coaching expertise. On March 19, 2009, he was an in-studio guest on WFAN’s “Mike’d Up” with host Mike Francesa. Moore appeared on the show to discuss the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. He’s also been a regular on ESPN Radio 1410/1300 (Hartford/New Haven), appearing on The Back Page with Jason Page every Wednesday afternoon for the past two years. He also had a weekly spot on WICC-600’s “College Hoops Talk” with Terry O’Connor for two seasons.
The Bobcats finished the 2007-08 season at 15-15 overall as Moore guided Quinnipiac to its first non-losing season since 2002-03. Its 11-7 mark in Northeast Conference play helped the Bobcats to a tie for fourth place in the conference standings. Under Moore’s tutelage, DeMario Anderson was named First-Team All-NEC, while Evann Baker earned All-Rookie Team recognition.
A new chapter in the history of the Quinnipiac University men’s basketball program commenced on March 29, 2007, when Moore was introduced as the sixth head coach in the 55-year his-tory of the team. Moore brought two decades of collegiate coach-ing experience to Quinnipiac and took over as the Bobcats coach after spending the previous 13 years as a member of the coaching staff at the University of Connecticut.
During his time in Storrs, Conn., Moore helped build UConn into a national powerhouse and played a major role in guiding the Huskies to the 1999 and 2004 NCAA Division I Men’s National Championships. Moore received accolades from several prominent sportscasters, such as Dick Vitale, Sean McDonough and Len Elmore, recognizing him as a top head coaching prospect for several years. Moore had also been men-tioned by such national outlets as ESPN, Sports Illustrated and FoxSports as a candidate for a wide range of coaching positions over his final several seasons at UConn.
Under Hall of Fame head coach Jim Calhoun, Moore also helped lead perennially nationally ranked UConn to a 340-99 overall record in 13 seasons, as well as eight Big East regular-sea-son titles, five Big East tournament crowns, and 12 straight national postseason tournament bids (1995-2006).

The 2011-12 Quinnipiac University Men’s Basketball Team has reloaded after a pair of 20-win seasons and national postseason tournament berths. Already in a good spot with seven players
returning and a probable starting five in place, the Bobcats welcome eight new players this season.
Back from last year’s starting five are guard James Johnson and forward Jamee Jackson. Johnson has been a constant contributor for the Bobcats since his arrival in Hamden in 2008-09. He’s started every game the Bobcats have played in his time on York Hill and has scored 1,218 points in his three years, more than any other player in their freshman, sophomore and junior seasons in Quinnipiac Division I his-tory. The heart and soul of the Bobcats will take aim at Rob Monroe’s ’05 program Division I record of 1,685 points this season.
Jackson is a force on the block for the Bobcats, both offensively and defensively. He averaged 6.3 points and 4.9 rebounds per game in starting all 32 contests for the Bobcats last season. He also contributed a team-high 38 blocks for a 1.19 blocks per game average, good for sev-enth in the Northeast Conference. A high-riser with unlimited athletic
ability, Jackson is always a threat on the offensive glass for putbacks, with nearly half of his rebounds from a year ago coming on the offensive end.
The Bobcats will also welcome the returns of Dave Johnson, Ike Azotam and Kevin Tarca, while enjoying the Quinnipiac debuts of transfers Garvey Young and Austin Alecxih. Johnson has been a two-year contributor for Quinnipiac, bringing 5.7 points, 3.5 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game to the table as a sophomore. Azotam is the Bobcats’ top returning rebounder, grabbing 5.4 boards per contest to go along with 5.1 points per game as a freshman.
Young and Alecxih both had to sit out the 2010-11 season as transfers from other NCAA Division I institutions. Young was an All-America East Defensive Team member as a sophomore at Vermont. His ability at 6-foot-5 to defend bigger guards on the perimeter paired with the lock-down defense of James Johnson should give the Bobcats per-haps their best perimeter defense in Tom Moore’s tenure at the helm. The 6-foot-6 Alecxih, a sophomore transfer from UNC Asheville, is a spot-up shooter on the wing who will give Moore one more perimeter option.

232011–12 Men’s Basketball Media Guide
Also joining the Bobcats will be a host of incoming recruits. Forwards Marquis Barnett, Ousmane Drame and Justin Harris are all 6-foot-8 or taller, giving the Bobcats added depth up front. Alex Jackson will be a versatile threat at 6-foot-5, possessing the capability to play both inside and outside. Guards Evan Conti, Nate Gause, Zaid Hearst and T’ziah Wood-Smith will give the Bobcats added depth in the back-court.
Backcourt
Offensively and defensively for the Bobcats, everything starts with James Johnson. The Bobcats’ leading scorer a year ago at 16.1 points per game, Johnson finished his junior year among the top players in the NEC in eight of 13 statistical categories. He led the league in three-point field goals made per game (2.63) and was third in both steals per game (1.59) and assist-to-turnover ratio (2.33). He ranked fifth in scor-ing (16.1), seventh in both free-throw percentage (.814) and minutes per game (33.94), 11th in three-point field-goal percentage (.373) and 14th in assists per game (3.50). Named the league’s top playmaker by Lindy’s entering last season, Johnson didn’t disappoint in being named to the All-League First Team at the year’s end. “I am very excited about the versatility and the mix of experience and youth in our backcourt,” remarked Head Coach Tom Moore. “Our guards will be led by James Johnson, who has already had such an incredible career in his first three years here. He returns off a First Team All-NEC season and should be a serious candidate for Conference Player of the Year. He has embraced the role of being our best perimeter defender along with emerging as our best perimeter offensive player. His versatility, toughness, and work ethic have allowed him to flourish as both a point guard and shooting guard during his time here.”
Dave Johnson once again provided a spark off the bench as a sopho-more. The diminutive guard contributed 5.7 points, 3.5 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 19.2 minutes per game. Perhaps the highlight of his season came at rival Central Connecticut. In a game that would likely decide the No. 2 seed in the NEC Tournament and accompanying home-court advantage in two tournament games, Johnson scored a career-high 17 points on 5-for-6 shooting and 6-for-8 from the free-throw line in a one-point victory, 68-67, in New Britain. A true point guard, Johnson has become known for his quick dishes through miniscule passing lanes.
“Dave Johnson should have an expanded role this season as he builds off a breakthrough sophomore season,” commented Moore. “Dave has great vision and terrific feel as a passer in both transition opportunities and in the half court. He has also improved his consis-tency as a reliable three-point shooter.”
Young started 50 of 64 games played at Vermont in his freshman and sophomore years before transferring to Quinnipiac. He earned America East All-Tournament Team recognition as the Catamounts won the 2010 America East Championship, while earning All-America East Defensive Team honors for his effort in the regular season. He was also named to the 2009 America East All-Rookie Team. Young is attempting to become one in a rare group to guide two different mid-major programs to the NCAA Tournament.
“Garvey Young brings a great deal of winning experience after start-ing for two seasons on highly successful University of Vermont teams that qualified for National post-season tournaments,” said Moore. “Garvey is an elite defender at this level, able to guard point guards through power forwards. I am very excited about what he’ll bring to our program on the defensive and offensive ends of the court and as a leader in the locker room.”
After a year at UNC Asheville and another year practicing with the Bobcats, Moore hopes Alecxih can add another perimeter shooter to his offensive arsenal. Along with Kevin Tarca, entering his final year of eligibility, who will bring leadership and tenacity to this year’s team. “Austin Alecxih is one of our hardest workers and should really help our outside shooting and Kevin is a senior who has been an incredible addi-tion to our program, contributing in so many ways with his consistency and toughness every day in practice,” Moore commented.
Newcomers Conti, Gause, Hearst and Wood-Smith round out the backcourt options for Moore’s team. Conti is a 6-foot-3 guard out of Holy Cross High School in Flushing, N.Y. He ranks fifth all-time at Holy Cross with 1,120 career points and grabbed nearly 600 rebounds in his high school career for Coach Paul Gilvary’s Knights. He averaged nearly 18 points, 10 rebounds and five assists per game as a senior, earn-ing Catholic High School Athletic Association (CHSAA) First Team recognition while leading the Knights to a 17-12 record.
Gause is a 6-foot-3 guard from Poughkeepsie (N.Y.) High School. He was named all-league, all-section and all-state after averaging 23 points, nine rebounds and three blocks per game as a senior for the Pioneers. The Poughkeepsie Journal honored Gause with its player of the year award after he led Coach Brian Laffin’s Poughkeepsie squad to a 21-1 record. He also earned the MVP of Large Schools Award. NYHoops.com ranked Gause the fourth-best player in the area, behind three players who committed to Big East and Big 12 schools.
A 6-foot-4 guard, Hearst averaged 16.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals per game as a senior after posting averages of 18.7 points, 11.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.9 steals per game as a junior for Coach Jeff Ruskin at the Salisbury School. Hearst earned New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) Class A First Team honors in his final year at Salisbury. He was named All-Western New England First Team in 2010, before earning Hoop Group Southern Invitational Jam Fest All-Star status the following summer, playing for Mid-Atlantic Select. He was also named to the Hoop Group Summer Classic East All-Tournament Team. New England Recruiting Report named Hearst the No. 8 prospect in Connecticut and the No. 28 recruit in New England for 2011.
The 6-foot-4 Wood-Smith wraps up the backcourt options for Coach Moore, coming to Quinnipiac after leading Baldwin High School to a 14-4 record and earning all-county honors.
“All of our new guys bring something to the table that can help us win this year,” said Moore. “Zaid Hearst is an extremely hard worker with a college-ready body who can already defend and rebound at a high level and Evan Conti has been a nice addition offensively as both a shooter and passer,” said Moore. “T’ziah Wood-Smith has brought good enthusiasm and athleticism to our team already, while Nate Gause is a gifted offensive player who has a knack for making jump shots and already has good feel scoring in the mid-range area.”

Frontcourt
The duo of Jamee Jackson and Ike Azotam will form one of the more formidable inside tandems in the Northeast Conference this season. The duo got the opportunity to learn from perhaps the most dominant big man in the history of the Northeast Conference in Justin Rutty, and are now prepared to step out of his shadow.
Jackson averaged 6.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game as a sophomore. Quick off his feet, his blocked shots often led the Bobcats’ fast break and resulted in game-changing momentum in 2010-11. In his first game without Rutty due to an injury to the senior mentor, Jackson poured in 20 points and added five rebounds in a 72-70 victory at Monmouth. Included in the career-high point production was a free throw to put the Bobcats on top for good.
“I am very excited about the potential of our frontcourt as they continue to develop and take on the challenge of replacing Justin Rutty,” said Moore. “Jamee Jackson has incredible potential and athleticism and has done good things with his opportunities as both a freshman and a sophomore. I am cer-tain he will make another big step in his development this season as a junior. He combines great size, length, and quickness into a 6-7 package that can be very difficult to handle in the NEC.”
Azotam’s production as a freshman can best be quantified by compar-ing his numbers to those of Rutty as a freshman. While Rutty posted 5.1 rebounds per game, including 2.29 per game on the offensive glass, Azotam grabbed 5.4 boards, including 2.35 offensive rebounds per game last season. Azotam saw action in 31 of 32 games for the Bobcats as a freshman, starting six times. He averaged 5.1 points and blocked 13 shots. He compiled two double-doubles, including career highs of 16 points and 13 rebounds, Feb. 9 against Sacred Heart.
“Ike Azotam had a very impressive freshman season a year ago and I am looking forward to similar improvement with him as he matures and gets more minutes,” Moore remarked. “He is a good finisher and instinctive rebounder with long arms and quick hops. Statistically, his rebounding and scoring numbers match up very well to those posted by Justin Rutty in his freshman year.”
Barnett, Drame, Alex Jackson, Harris and Terrance Bobb-Jones round out the low-point players for this year’s squad. Barnett is a 6-foot-8 forward with a reputation for rebounding and shot blocking out of Benjamin N. Cardozo High School in Bayside, N.Y. A third team All-Queens selection by the New York Post, Barnett helped the Judges to an undefeated season in Queens AA and a spot in the PSAL Class AA semifinals. After contribut-ing five points, seven rebounds and four blocks per game as a junior for a Judges team that reached the PSAL Championship Game at Madison Square Garden, Barnett upped his numbers to 8.1 points, 13.8 rebounds and 7.2 blocks per game in helping Coach Ron Naclerio’s team to a 28-3 record as a senior.
Originally hailing from the small West African country of Guinea, Drame earned NEPSAC Class AA Third Team in his prep year at Marianapolis Prep, averaging 12.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals per game. In his senior year of high school, he produced 15.1 points, 14.3 rebounds, 6.2 blocks and 3.2 assists while shooting 58 percent from the floor in leading New Mission High School to the 2010 Massachusetts Division 4 State Championship. He scored 24 points and grabbed 17 rebounds en route to MVP honors in the State Championship Game against Boston Cathedral, and was named Massachusetts Division 4 and Boston City League Player of the Year for Coach Cory McCarthy’s team.
Jackson is a 6-foot-5 junior college transfer from Frederick (Md.) Community College who will have three years of eligibility remaining after sitting out the past year due to injury. A versatile athlete at 6-foot-5, Jackson is a mismatch against shorter small forwards while his quickness and shooting
ability provide problems for bigger power forwards. As a freshman at FCC, Jackson averaged 19.4 points and 8.1 rebounds per game while shooting 32 percent from long range. He was named first team All-Maryland JUCO, first team All-Region XX and honorable mention All-National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). Jackson led FCC to the first Region XX Tournament Championship in the history of the school.
Harris is a 6-foot-8 forward from Paterson, N.J., who was a 1,000-point scorer at Paterson Catholic. He averaged nearly 18 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks per game as a senior, leading Coach Greg Barnes’ Paladins to a league championship and a 15-9 record. Harris was named All-League and All-County in both his junior and senior seasons. He averaged 12.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game in 2009-10, leading Paramus Catholic to the Bergen County and League Championships with a 22-4 overall record.
Bobb-Jones is a 6-4 forward with tremendous rebounding ability in the small forward role. He comes from Delcastle Tech in Delaware, where he averaged over 20 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in his senior year. Bobb-Jones easily surpassed the 1,000 career-point mark and was noted as one of the top 10 players in the state.
“Alex Jackson brings versatility and toughness as a small forward and possible under-sized power forward. Our new guys up front also all have a skill set that I think can help us right away, commented Moore. “Ousmane Drame is a long, lefty inside player with very good hands, touch, and passing ability and Marquis Barnett is a strong, physical inside player who can really rebound the ball in traffic and defends the post with very good toughness for a freshman. Justin Harris has done a great job improving his body and condi-tioning and is very smart at both ends of the floor in the lane, while Terrance Bobb-Jones is a very physical, athletic small forward who can really defend and rebound as well as bring a toughness to our program.”
Schedule
In search of a third straight national postseason tournament berth and another 20-win season, Moore has lined up an exciting schedule for the 2011-12 season. Home contests against local rival Yale, 2011 America East Champion Boston University, Navy and Niagara highlight the non-confer-ence schedule. In addition to an always-competitive Northeast Conference docket, the Bobcats face 2011 MAAC Regular Season Champion Fairfield in the Third Annual Connecticut 6 Classic at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., and travel to American, Lehigh, Hartford, Vermont and Massachusetts.
“I am excited about our 2011-12 schedule, as we feel we’ve lined up a nice collection of some of the strongest basketball and academic schools in the Northeast,” said Moore. “Our non-conference opponents include Atlantic 10 power, UMass, and conference champions Fairfield from the MAAC and Boston University from the America East.”
Quinnipiac has led the Northeast Conference in average home attendance in each of the last two years, and three of Moore’s four seasons at the helm, creating a strong home-court advantage for the Bobcats. The increased fan support during the past two seasons has resulted in a 30-7 (.811) record for Quinnipiac at the TD Bank Sports Center.
“As we prepare to try to qualify for a third straight national postseason tournament, I am proud of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and basketball fans in the New Haven area who have helped Quinnipiac lead the NEC in average home attendance in three of the last four years. The loyal support and enthusiasm they have brought to the TD Bank Sports Center has certainly helped us win over 80 percent of our home games in the last two seasons.”

Northeast Conference History
After celebrating its 30-year anniversary as an NCAA Division I ath-letic conference in 2010-11, the Northeast Conference (NEC) enters the next phase in its evolution under the leadership of Noreen Morris, now entering her third year as NEC Commissioner.
The NEC and its member institutions are committed to providing opportunities for student-athletes to achieve their fullest potential both in athletic competition and in the classroom. Likewise, the Conference continually strives to be an NCAA Division I leader for athletic success, academic achievement and integrity, sportsmanship, equity and diversity, community partnership and national engagement.
When the Northeast Conference (NEC) was first established as the ECAC-Metro Conference back in 1981, the league’s founders had one goal in mind: to create a competitive NCAA Division I men’s basketball conference for unaffiliated schools on the Eastern seaboard. A single-sport entity at its inception, the NEC has grown far beyond expectations over the past three decades, having transformed itself into a burgeoning 12-member, 23-sport conference.
The remarkable success story of the conference began to unfold in 1985, when the league began sponsoring additional sports. Three years later, a change of name was in order and the Northeast Conference as we know it today was born. With membership and sport sponsorship continuing to grow over the years, the NEC now enjoys qualification or play-in access to 14 different NCAA Championships (baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, field hockey, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s volleyball).
Though the NEC has featured various incarnations since its inception, charter members Fairleigh Dickinson, Long Island, Robert Morris, St. Francis (NY), Saint Francis (PA) and Wagner remain part of the current 12-school alignment. They are joined by Monmouth (admitted in 1985), Mount St. Mary’s (1989), Central Connecticut State (1997), Quinnipiac (1998) and Sacred Heart (1999). NEC expansion continues with the official addition of Bryant University in 2012 as the league’s 12th mem-
ber, which will give the league a six-state geographic footprint with access to such major media markets as New York City, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Hartford and Providence.
NEC member institutions now compete in 23 championship sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s bowling, men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, football, men’s and women’s golf, 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, women’s swimming, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.
NEC MEDIA / TELEVISION
The NEC has embraced new media to convey its message to a grow-ing fan base. With the support of league Presidents and administrators, the Conference is developing a conference-wide online video community projected to launch at the start of the 2012-13 season. The multimedia initiative will serve as a vehicle for the NEC to present a unified, branded message, while at the same time showcasing three key components of University life at each member institution: athletics, academics and work in the community. This unique opportunity will allow the NEC to upgrade new media, implement cutting-edge technology, engage fans through social media and present comprehensive University and athletic-related live and on-demand content.
The Conference has attracted a loyal following in recent years on its Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages, and debuted its new Overtime! blog last winter. The NEC also provides its fans with NEC On The Run podcast segments and weekly NEC Notebook spots (that also air on Sports Radio 66 WFAN in New York City and SportsRadio 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh). The league’s satellite website, www.northeastconfer-ence.tv, continues to grow and is the home for regular season and cham-pionship webcasts. The Conference also plans a summer relaunch of its official website, www.northeastconference.org.
Over the last five years, the NEC has regionally televised over 125 bas-ketball and football games, as the league’s coverage area has expanded to over 50 million homes. Along with flagship station MSG Network, other regional television partners include FSN-Pittsburgh, MASN, Fox College Sports, Cox Cable, Pack Network, SportsNet New York (SNY) and the Connecticut Sports Network. In 2011, ESPN broadcast the NEC men’s basketball championship game for the 24th straight year, while ESPNU carried the women’s championship, marking the fourth year in a row the game reached a nationwide audience.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS
The Northeast Conference’s commitment to academic excellence led to national recognition for both individual student-athletes and the league’s member institutions as a whole in 2010-11.
Overall, the NEC’s 4,800+ student-athletes averaged a 3.133 GPA for the 2010-11 year and 11 of the league’s 12 core member institutions fin-ished the year with at least a 3.0 GPA. Nearly 2,300 student-athletes were named to the NEC Academic Honor Roll and over 500 were named to the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll with GPAs of 3.75 or higher. Likewise, there were seven NEC student-athletes who were tabbed Capital One Academic All-Americans.
Additionally, the NEC had 38 teams from among more than 900 across the nation honored by the NCAA with public recognition awards for their latest Academic Progress Rate scores. NEC institutions also ranked among the nation’s elite in Graduation Success Rate (GSR) figures released by the NCAA with 50 teams achieving a perfect 100 percent GSR in their respective sports and over 40 percent earning a GSR of over 90 percent. Saint Francis (PA) student-athletes posted a 3.27 grade point average in 2010-11 to win the NEC Institutional Academic Award for the third straight year.
ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENT
The NEC sent representatives to NCAA Championship events in 14 different team sports in 2010-11, while NEC student-athletes individually qualified to compete for an NCAA title in men’s golf and men’s outdoor track and field.
In one of the most memorable title games in league history and the first to go into overtime, Long Island won its third NEC men’s basketball championship with an 85-82 victory over Robert Morris before a captivat-ed nationwide audience and a packed house at the WRAC in Brooklyn. LIU finished the year with 27 victories, tying the league’s single-season record. On the women’s side, Saint Francis (PA) won an unprecedented 11th Northeast Conference women’s basketball title with a 72-57 victory over Monmouth on its home court in Loretto, PA. It was a postseason basketball bonanza for the NEC with a record five teams competing in March. Less than a month later, Fairleigh Dickinson advanced to the national semifinals of the NCAA Women’s Bowling Championship. With All-Americans Tracy Ganjoin, Danielle McEwan, Joely Carrillo and Sara Littereal leading the way, the Knights were the nation’s top-ranked team for much of the year and one of seven NEC programs ranked in the National Tenpin Coaches Association (NTCA) top-20 over the course of the season.
The NEC continued to earn national acclaim in men’s soccer. Monmouth ranked as high as 4th in the country in the NSCAA Top-25 poll and sported a pair of NSCAA All-Americans in Ryan Kinne and RJ Allen. The Hawks won their sixth straight NEC regular season crown and
defended its NEC Tournament title. Robert Morris became the first NEC football team to compete in the
NCAA FCS playoffs by securing the league’s first-ever automatic bid to the postseason. The Colonials travelled to North Dakota State in the first round and trailed by just three points, 20-17, in the third quarter before the Bison pulled away to advance. The Colonials ended the regular season ranked 25th in the nation by The Sports Network and featured FCS All-Americans Corey Konycki and Shadrae King.
The Quinnipiac women’s cross country program maintained its domi-nance with a sixth straight NEC championship, the longest active title streak in the conference in any sport. Likewise, Fairleigh Dickinson made it four straight NEC women’s golf titles and Monmouth earned a sweep at the NEC outdoor track & field championships for the third straight year and fifth time in school history.
Playing in front of a home crowd, Mount St. Mary’s won the inaugu-ral NEC men’s lacrosse title with a 14-9 win over Quinnipiac.
NEC Baseball Player of the Year and Louisville Slugger/TPX All-American Ryan Terry of Monmouth was selected by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2011 MLB Draft.
Individually, 11 NEC student-athletes received All-America honors in their respective sports and eight more earned Capital One Academic All-America accolades.
Sacred Heart won its fourth straight Brenda Weare Commissioner’s Cup. The Pioneers also claimed a fifth straight Joan Martin Women’s Commissioner’s Cup and won the Men’s Cup for the second time in three years.

ON CAMPUS / IN THE COMMUNITY
The NEC welcomed the class of 2014 to campus last fall as part of its annual outreach program designed to raise awareness of the league and its member institutions. Over 10,000 freshman students were introduced to the Conference with a promotional gift bag, including an informative NEC Fan Guide.
The NEC continued its participation in the NCAA’s Respect Campaign, an effort to promote an environment of respect and integrity at Conference events. The marketing campaign included co-branded NEC/NCAA banners, logos and print ads, along with public address announcements and personalized spots that ran during institutional radio and webcasts.
The NEC, its member institutions and student-athletes have made community involvement an important piece of its mission. In 2010-11, the NEC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee made its annual visit to the Cancer Recovery Foundation in Hershey, PA in February. The SAAC also participated in a “Penny Wars” fundraiser for a second straight year that resulted in a significant donation to the Foundation. NEC field hockey programs once again organized a Be the Match Challenge, which helped facilitate matches for potential bone marrow donors. To assist in raising breast cancer awareness, NEC women’s volleyball teams supported “Dig Pink” and women’s basketball teams participated in the WBCA’s “Pink Zone” promotion. The NEC has also partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs and other youth-based charitable organizations throughout the league’s footprint.
Sacred Heart was the winner of the inaugural NEC Building Communities Award, created by the SAAC to recognize the institution which demonstrates the highest dedication to making an impact in the community through the efforts of its student-athletes, coaches and admin-istrators. Over the course of the 2010-11 academic year, Conference
members logged over 25,000 hours of community service.
EVOLVING AND EXPANDING
In recent years, the NEC has taken aim at raising the brand awareness of the league, elevating the caliber of its championship sports and enhanc-ing the opportunities and experiences for the more than 4,500 student-athletes that compete in the Conference.
Last season, the NEC upgraded its football membership when the University of Rhode Island accepted an invitation to join the league as an associate member beginning in the 2013 season. The Conference also unveiled its inaugural Hall of Fame class as part of its 30th Anniversary celebration.
The NEC is set to embark on a number of new initiatives related to the future growth of the Conference. Most notably, the league is develop-ing multi-year comprehensive strategic plan for enhancing and promoting men’s and women’s basketball, and preparing for the launch of an online multimedia community in 2012-13.

The Quinnipiac University men’s basketball team continued to establish a winning tradition under Head Coach Tom Moore in 2010-11, winning more than 20 games and advancing to a nation-
al postseason tournament for the second straight year. The Bobcats won 22 games en route to a home game in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, the first home national postseason tournament game for the Bobcats in program Division I history. Included in the 22 wins was a program-building victory against the University of Rhode Island on Dec. 11 at the TD Bank Sports Center. The victory signified the Bobcats’ first against an Atlantic-10 program.
Senior forward Justin Rutty was named to the All-Northeast Conference First Team for the third straight season and eclipsed sev-eral milestones. The Newburgh, N.Y. native became the Northeast Conference’s all-time leading rebounder with 1,032 boards for his career. He also became just the second Quinnipiac player to surpass the 1,500-point mark at Division I with 1,521 career points. He joined Harold Driver ’78 and Dave Tuthill ’65 as the only players in school history to surpass 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, and stands with Driver as the only players with 1,500 points and 1,000 rebounds. Despite missing seven games due to injury, Rutty averaged 14.5 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. He compiled 11 double-doubles to push his career total to 41, more than twice the total of any other player in Quinnipiac Division I history.
Junior guard James Johnson emerged as a go-to scorer and a lethal three-point threat. The floor general joined Rutty on the all-league first team, averaging a team-best 16.1 points to go along with 4.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. He shot a team-best 81.4 percent from the free-throw line and 38.5 percent from long range. Johnson’s 84 three-point field goals made are the second-most in program history, trailing only Rick Barry’s 99 in 1994-95. Johnson provided single-game heroics on several occasions, hitting seven three-pointers each against Niagara, Robert Morris and Bryant. Perhaps his most impressive accomplishment was his eight-point outburst in the final 57 seconds of regulation against Mount St. Mary’s on Dec. 4. Johnson hit a pair of three-pointers, stole the ball with less than five seconds remaining, streaked down court and made a runner in the lane in the final seconds to clinch the victory.
The Bobcats’ success in 2010-11 was once again thanks in large part to dominance on the boards. Quinnipiac finished first in the nation in offensive rebounding (16.3), second in rebounds per game (42.5) and fourth rebound margin (+9.3). All three marks led the Northeast Conference, while the Bobcats also led the league in rebounding defense (33.2), assists per game (15.56) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.25). Quinnipiac also finished second in scoring offense (71.7), scoring margin (+4.3) and defensive rebounds per game (26.25), and third in field goal percentage defense (.419). Rutty led the league in rebounding average (9.4) and offensive rebounding average (4.04), while Johnson made a league-best 2.63 three-point field goals per game.
The Bobcats began the season by winning nine of their first 11 games. Quinnipiac defeated intrastate foes Yale and Hartford to start the year, before falling to America East Regular Season Champion Vermont. Wins against Dartmouth and Maine followed, before a two-point heartbreaker to Massachusetts on a goaltending call at the buzzer. Quinnipiac then reeled off five straight wins, sparked by Johnson’s heroics against Mount St. Mary’s on Dec. 4.
Quinnipiac defeated 2010 NCAA Tournament participant Lehigh on Dec. 7 at the TD Bank Sports Center before taking down Rhode Island on Dec. 11. Following first-semester finals, the Bobcats picked up where they left off with an 88-63 drubbing of Niagara on the road, Dec. 22. Playing at eventual 2011 NCAA Tournament participant Boston University, the Bobcats completed the five-game winning streak with an 82-81 victory on Dominique Langston’s tip-in in the wan-ing seconds of regulation.
After a 73-68 loss to Wagner on Jan. 3, the Bobcats lost Rutty to injury and dropped four of the next seven contests. But a speedy recovery allowed him to return to action on Jan. 27 and the Bobcats won 10 of the next 11 games. Rutty’s return gave the Bobcats an emotional lift and Johnson did the rest against Robert Morris. The junior scored 38 points, including seven three-point field goals as the Bobcats avenged their 2010 NEC Tournament Championship loss to the Colonials with a 68-61 victory.
The Bobcats used a 22-0 run to begin the game against Saint Francis (Pa.) to run away with a 75-55 victory on Jan. 29, before defeating St. Francis (N.Y.), 74-60, in Brooklyn on Feb. 3. Following the only loss of the stretch to regular season and tournament champion Long Island, the Bobcats reeled off seven straight wins. A pair of victories against Sacred Heart in the second annual NEC Rivalry Week series got things rolling, before wins at Bryant and Central Connecticut and home victories against Monmouth and Fairleigh Dickinson sent the Bobcats into the NEC Tournament on a hot streak.
The momentum continued in the NEC Quarterfinals as the Bobcats breezed past Mount St. Mary’s, 78-59. But the Bobcats’ faced their nemesis in Robert Morris in the semifinals and fell, 64-62. The loss set up an appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. In spite of Deontay Twyman’s near-triple-double of 14 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds, the Bobcats fell to Buffalo, 75-68, March 14 at the TD Bank Sports Center.

“I was very happy with the level of success we enjoyed in the 2010-11 season, said Tom Moore at the end of the campaign. “Although falling short of our ultimate goal of earning our first NCAA Tournament bid, last year’s team further established Quinnipiac as one of the elite programs in the Northeast Conference. Hosting our first Division I national post-season tournament game in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament, winning 20 games in back-to-back seasons, and finishing in the top three again in several national rebounding categories were certainly highlights on the court. In the classroom, I was very proud of our student-athletes earning the highest team GPA in the NEC and being recognized for having the largest APR improve-ment of any program in the country. In the community, our young men again gave of their free time for several community service projects and our loyal student fans, staff, alumni, and local New Haven area followers helped us lead the NEC in aver-age home attendance at our beautiful TD Bank Arena.”

JACK McDONALDDirector of Athletics and Recreation
Jack McDonald is entering his 17th year as Director of Athletics and Recreation at Quinnipiac University. This fall, McDonald was selected to serve on the NACDA Division I Executive Committe and the NCAA’s Committe on Women’s Athletics. McDonald has guided Quinnipiac University into a broad-based Division I athlet-
ics program that consists of 21 men’s and women’s varsity sports. McDonald has been one of the driving forces during nine suc-cessful campaigns as a Division I member. Sixteen teams have won conference championships, with 12 qualifying for the NCAA Tournament during that time. Along with its full membership in the Northeast Conference, Quinnipiac also competes as a member of ECAC Hockey for men’s and women’s ice hockey, and as a member of Lacrosse America for men’s lacrosse.
The last three academic years were of equal success for the Bobcats under McDonald’s guidance. Over the past two years, the Bobcats posted their highest department-wide grade-point averages in concurrent years as well as the largest number of student-ath-letes with a GPA of 3.0 or higher from one year to the next.
In 2006–07 McDonald assisted the University in the grand opening of the TD Bank Sports Center, a 185,000-square-foot facility that cost $60 million to construct.
He also helped secure NCAA certification for Quinnipiac, its first since moving to Division I, and assisted in the successful men’s basketball coaching search that culminated with the hiring of former University of Connecticut associate head coach Tom Moore. In addition, nearly 140 student-athletes and five teams were honored by their respective leagues and organizations for aca-demic excellence.
An active member of National Governance, McDonald was recently named president of NACDA’s IAAA Association. McDonald was also on the NCAA Championships and Competition Cabinet (1998–2002) and chair of the NCAA Ice Hockey Committee, where he championed bracket expansion from 12 to 16 teams. He also has been a member of the NACDA’s I-AAA executive committee since 2002.
