The thoughts and prayers of the entire coaching staff and Rider administration are with his family. --Rider Head Coach Lynn Milligan Pictured working last season in Alumni Gym Rider) is women s basketball official Jack Plunkett who passed away at age 56 on January 11, Plunkett worked many Rider events over the years and recently worked the 2009 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Basketball Championships.

4 Women s College Basketball Rider Women Picked 4th NEW YORK, NY--The Rider University women s basketball team was picked to finish fourth of 10 teams in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, it was announced at the annual MAAC Media Day, held at the ESPN Zone in Times Square. It shows a sign of respect for our players, said head coach Lynn Milligan. This is another example that our hard work is being recognized around the league. It is our job now to take that respect and continue to work hard to live up to those expectations. Our team goals remain the same, regardless of the number next to our name. Defending champion Marist was a unanimous pick to repeat as the women s champion, followed by Iona and Canisius. Saint Peter s was picked fifth, followed by Fairfield, Loyola, Siena, Manhattan and Niagara. What people think of the team is a source of pride for us, Milligan added. That is why I brought senior Amanda Sepulveda (Perth Amboy/Hun) to the luncheon. I wanted her to experience the joy of the day and how far they have come as players and how far we ve come as a team. It is special for Amanda to have experienced the day. This is Rider s highest preseason selection in its 13 seasons in the MAAC. Rider signs three for the Class of 2014 LAWRENCEVILLE Three high school seniors have signed national letters of intent to further their education and athletic careers at Rider University, Bronc head coach Lynn Milligan announced November 24. Joining the Rider squad next season as members of the Class of 2014 will be MyNeshia McKenzie, Rosalie Gentry and Senada Mehmedovic. We are very excited about this class, said Milligan, in her third season at Rider. They are true student-athletes who will represent Rider University and our program in a very positive way. They all come from successful high school and AAU programs. They are terrific young ladies who embody what our program stands for. McKenzie is a 6-0 guard/forward from Springfield, Pennsylvania, who is currently a senior at Springfield High School. As a junior, McKenzie was an All-Central League First Team honoree and News of Delaware County All-Star and earned team MVP honors. McKenzie is also a three-year letterwinner in volleyball. MyNeshia is an explosive and versatile player that will fit our philosophy immediately, Milligan said. She is hard working and strong enough to play inside and out. She will be relentless around the ball and can burn our opponents in a number of different ways. Gentry is a 6-0 forward from Downingtown, Pennsylvania who is currently a senior at Downingtown East High School. After transferring to Downingtown East, Gentry helped her team to back to back District 1 AAAA championships and earned All- Area Second Team and All Ches-Mont First Team honors, averaging 12 points per game. Rosalie is a terrific shooting post player, Milligan said. She can hit from long range and cause significant matchup problems. She will be able to stretch defenses and open up our inside game. Mehmedovic is a 5-7 point guard from Carlisle, Pennsylvania where she has already eclipsed the 1,000 point plateau at Carlisle High School. Mehmedovic will graduate as a four-year letterwinner and averaged 19 points per game as a junior, earning First Team All-Conference and team MVP honors for the second time. Mehmedovic is also a four-year letterwinner in field hockey. Senada is a combo guard that can score and run the point, said Milligan. Her ball handling skills and poise will allow her to run the offense as a point guard and her scoring mentality will allow her to play off the ball as well. She has great range and can get to the basket in the open floor.

12 Rider Team Manager Takes Water Skiing to the Extreme When an athlete says they can walk on water, you usually roll you eyes and kind of dismiss the claim. Except in the case of Rider women s basketball manager, Jamie Spampinato, she literally spends her summers walking on water, and standing on it and jumping over it. Each summer for the past 15 years, the junior Math Education major has been defying gravity (and the properties of walking on water itself) as a member of the Lake Mohawk Ski Hawks in Sparta, New Jersey, the official competitive water ski team in the state. Approximately 30 minutes from New York City and developed in the late 1920 s as a summer resort, Lake Mohawk now is home to approximately 7,000 permanent residents. I started at six or seven years old, Spampinato said. I just went down to the lake one day and my family and I were watching the ski team and I said I want to do that. The water ski team that Spampinato is speaking of has existed for over 45 years and puts on shows during the summer in addition to participating in regional competitions. It is sport and competition, Spampinato said. We ski every day in the summer but when it comes down to it, we are there to compete. The competitions include 13 acts where the team does routines both on and off the water and is ranked against other teams from around the country. The team does jumps off a ramp and in 2005, built an on the water pyramid that was large enough to require being pulled by two boats. The pyramid had four levels, Spampinato remembered. Then we put two groups of three on top of that. Combined we put 24 water skiers in the routine. Spampinato attended Sparta High School and in addition to basketball, was on the golf team. I played basketball and I golfed in high school, said Spampinato. I pretty much have played all of the other sports but water skiing is the one I enjoy the most. In her second season as one of the managers of the basketball team, Spampinato eventually wants to be a middle school math teacher and yes, keep skiing as well. I chose Rider because it was a small school, close to home and I could continue with the ski team, said Spampinato. One of the things that Spampinato loves about the ski team is the family atmosphere. Her mom Sue Galvin is also involved and works behind the scenes to make sure all of the equipment is ready for each event. It is a big family orientated team, Spampinato said. There aren t many things that moms and daughters and fathers and sons can do together each weekend. That is as special as the actual performances, spending time with my mom and my teammates. And her biggest moment of the last 15 years? The final pyramid at the 2005 regional competition, we won highest scoring for that, said Spampinato who has also suffered three concussions doing the sport she loves. It was a big moment. So the next time you hear an athlete boast that they can walk on water, give it a second look because this one does. -RU-

18 New Logo - New Floor On July 25, 2007, Rider Athletics unveiled a new Bronc logo. Only the fourth Rider Athletics logo in history, the original Roughrider logo was designed by the legendary Clair Bee 80 years ago and was last used in 1989 when Rider switched to an upright Bronc. When Rider gained University status in 1994, a U was incorporated into the logo. Due to a flood in August, 2009, the Alumni Gym floor was completely replaced with the gym reopening for competition in November, Same Name, New Website In January, 2008, the Rider Department of Athletics unveiled the redesigned website.

Besides MAAC opponents, Rider and Manhattan had Fordham as an opponent in common on the schedule. Rider lost at Fordham on December 5 and the Jaspers defeated the Rams on December 22. Silly Solly Note of the Game - Cat Prowling the Sidelines for Manhattan From the desk of Assistant SID Brian Solomon Rider grad Christine Catalanotto is in her second season as an assistant coach for the Manhattan Jaspers...a two-year letterwinner and two-time team captain for the Broncs, Cat started at point guard in 56 of 57 appearances and led Rider with 3.3 assists per game and averaged 6.2 points and 3.7 rebounds over her career at Rider after transferring from UMBC. Catalanotto graduated Magna cum Laude with a degree in Psychology. Catalanotto also served two seasons as a graduate assistant coach at Wagner College where she earned her Master s degree in Business Administration. What is a Jasper? The unique nickname of Manhattan College s athletic teams, the Jaspers, comes from one of the College s most memorable figures, Brother Jasper of Mary, F.S.C., who served at the College in the late 19th century. One of the greatest achievements of Brother Jasper was that he brought the then little-known sport of baseball to Manhattan College and became the team s first coach. Since Brother was also the Prefect of Discipline, he supervised the student fans at Manhattan College baseball games while also directing the team itself. During one particularly warm and humid day when Manhattan College was playing a semi-pro baseball team called the Metropolitans, Brother Jasper noticed the Manhattan students were becoming restless and edgy as Manhattan came to bat in the seventh inning of a close game. To relieve the tension, Brother Jasper called time-out and told the students to stand up and stretch for a few minutes until the game resumed. Since the College annually played the New York Giants in the late 1880 s and into the 1890 s at the old Polo Grounds, the Manhattan College practice of the seventh inning stretch spread into the major leagues, where it has now become a time-honored custom practiced by millions of fans annually. (Courtesy of the Manhattan College Sports Information Office) The last time...against the Jaspers On January 3, 2010, in the MAAC opener, freshman Caitlin Bopp had a double-double (10 points and 13 rebounds) as Rider lost at Manhattan The last time...against the Jaspers in Lawrenceville On February 3, 2008, Amanda Sepulveda had eight points, three rebounds and three assists as the Broncs lost to Manhattan the teams met at Sovereign Bank Arena for the Rider home game vs. the Jaspers.

Headlines From 1/29 Niagara pulled out a overtime win over Siena at the Gallagher Center. Siena had a chance to win the game in regulation, but had it shot hit the front of the rim. Niagara built a six point lead with 16 seconds remaining in overtime, but Siena rallied and had the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead. However, the Saints could not get a shot off. Rachele Folino led Niagara with 18 points. Siena's Serena Moore led all scorers with 27 points and had nine rebounds. Trailing by nine at halftime to Canisius, Marist shot 60% from the field in the second half to win at the Koessler Athletic Center. The Red Foxes have won 13 games in a row and 23 in a row on the road against MAAC opponents. Rachele Fitz led all scorers with 15 points and also had a game-high eight rebounds. Corielle Yarde added 11 points and six rebounds. Erica Allenspach had a balanced game with nine points, seven rebounds, and a game-high six assists. On "Pack the House" Night, a crowd of 1,428 at Draddy Gymnasium saw Manhattan's top two scorers at their best. Michelle Pacheco and Lindsey Loutsenhizer each topped the 20-point mark to lead the Lady Jaspers to a victory over Saint Peter's. Pacheco tallied a game-high 22 points and Loutsenhizer finished with 21, as Manhattan notched its third win in its last four games. Iona took a 2-0 lead off the opening tip and never looked back in a dominating win over Rider in MAAC road action. The victory extended Iona's winning streak to eight games, setting a school record for consecutive regular season MAAC wins and consecutive overall wins. Anna McLean led with 16 points and eight boards before a hit to the shoulder forced an early exit.
