In , their fifth year among the ranks of Division I, Swanson helped deliver a season for the record books. In a year that saw the 14-year head coach earn his 200th career victory, the Pioneers completed the most successful season in school history finishing with a school record 21 wins and their fifth-straight trip to the Northeast Conference Tournament. His efforts didn t go unrecognized by his coaching peers as Swanson earned his first NEC Brenda Reilly Coach of the Year award. By finishing 21-8 last season, SHU moved its record to during the Division I era and ran their streak of season s with at least a.500 record or better to nine straight. The Pioneers caped the year in second place in the NEC, their highest finish ever. Since joining the conference in 1999, SHU has never ended a season lower than third in the final league standings. Much of the Pioneer success on the court can be attributed to the quality of the student-athletes recruited to Sacred Heart. In the past two years, SHU has had back to back NEC Rookie of the Year Award winners in Amanda Pape and Nicolle Rubino as well as numerous all-conference and league player of the week awards. His teams have also excelled off the court, ranking among the nations best in the classroom. The squad was ranked in the Women s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) 2003 Academic Top-25 Honor Roll for the third-straight season. The Pioneers ranked 19th with a team grade point average of In , two members of the Pioneers, Brooke Kelly and Ashley Kohl, were named to the 2003 Verizon Academic All-America Team selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Last season, Kohl earned the honor once again during her senior year. Swanson has elevated the program to its current high state through a combination of shrewd recruiting, coaching acumen, fine assistant coaches and players who understand the team concept. The evidence is there for all to see. In the past nine seasons, the Pioneers have assembled a (.614) record, but they have been even more formidable against conference opponents during that span, with a (.689) mark Women s Basketball

5 Under his leadership, the Pioneers have become one of the toughest teams on their home court in the William H. Pitt Center. Since the opening of the Pitt Center in 1997, his Sacred Heart teams have won 84 percent (73-14) of their home games including a perfect 14-0 last season and 18-straight regular season wins dating back to Their 84 percent winning percentage at home ranks the Pitt Center 11th nationally as the toughest arena for visiting teams to earn a victory. After directing the Pioneers to a 20-7 record the program s first 20-win season in , Swanson was voted Coach of the Year in the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) and the Women s Basketball Coaches Association s (WBCA) District I. He was runner-up for NEC Coach of the Year in , when Sacred Heart s inaugural Division I team produced a record and tied for third (11-7) during the conference s regular season. Basketball has always been an integral part of Swanson s life. From his days as a two-time captain at Kolbe Cathedral High School in Bridgeport, to the transition of elevating the Pioneers to the Division I level, to directing his two-week long NIKE Girls Basketball Camp at Sacred Heart each summer, Swanson has demonstrated a passion for the game exceeded by few. He earned a bachelor s degree in business from Sacred Heart in He joined Dave Bike s men s coaching staff that year, and, after becoming head coach of the Pioneer women s program in 1990, did double duty for three seasons before becoming the University s first full-time women s coach in Immediately prior to Swanson s arrival, the Sacred Heart women s team had a 4-21 record. Under his guidance, the climb to Division II respectability was accomplished within three seasons, from 8-19 to and, in , to the program s first winning record in 11 seasons. A basketball aficionado the year round, Swanson spends a good portion of each summer coaching and lecturing at camps and attending AAU tournaments in several states, in addition to running his aforementioned NIKE Girls Basketball Camp. Swanson and his new wife Marion currently reside in Shelton, CT. Head Coach Sacred Heart University 3

10 Outlook Reaching NEW Heights The Sacred Heart Pioneers posted a school record 21 wins, qualified for the Northeast Conference Tournament for the fifth consecutive year, finished a perfect 14-0 at home and had the NEC Rookie of the Year and Coach of the Year. In short, last year s team had the most successful season in the 30 year history of Sacred Heart women s basketball. So what can the version of the Red and White do for an encore? With the return of the last two conference rookies of the year as well as a roster deep with talent, head coach Ed Swanson has his team ready for a run at their first NEC Championship. The Pioneers will rely heavily on the strength of their perimeter play this season, especially with the return of junior Nicolle Rubino and sophomores Amanda Pape and Kerri Burke. Pape and Rubino provided a large chunk of the SHU offense last season with the duo combining for 26.6 points per game, nearly 40 percent of the offensive output. Burke will lead the offense from the point along with returning senior Allie Bagnell. Our strength is our perimeter play with the return of Amanda, Nicolle, Allie and Kerri, stated Swanson. The key to our offense will be to get some scoring punch and rebounding from our inside post players. We need to find someone to step up and be that third scoring option for us in the paint. Pape s freshman campaign went down as one of the best in school history. The Stamford, CT native became the first player to lead the team in scoring as a freshman when she averaged 15.1 points per game. She also led 8 the team in steals with 75, helping to give SHU, what proved at times, stifling full court defensive pressure. Pape proved no slouch on the glass either, pulling down 6.4 rebounds a game, including a team leading 79 offensive caroms. Her efforts never went unnoticed by the NEC as she earned the league s rookie of the week award on six different occasions as well as the Rookie of the Year award at season s end. She became just the second freshman in league history to earn a spot on the All- NEC team with her second team selection. Amanda will start and has added an outside game with a jump shot off the dribble to her repertoire, said the head coach. We will look for her to try and beat people with the pass also this year. Rubino will start at the small forward position this season and is coming off a solid effort last year where she avoided the dreaded sophomore jinx. Averaging 11.5 points per game to go with 80 assists and 56 steals, both improvements over her freshman rookie of the year numbers, show that Rubino s game is headed in the right direction. The Port Jefferson Station, NY native also improved her long range shooting last year, burying 35.2% of her three s (44-125). Nicolle will start at the three where she will be our main threat shooting the ball, stated Swanson. Nicolle and Amanda bring a real energy to our team. We should see increased scoring and rebounding from Nicolle with our style of play. The point guard position will be locked down by Burke and Bagnell this season, both having the big shoes of departed senior Ashley Kohl to fill. Kohl ran the offense for the past two seasons and was the team s premier three-point shooter. Kerri will start the year for us with Allie still fighting her way back from her knee injury, commented Swanson. Kerri is a different kind of point guard. She s explosive and can give us some scoring as well as keeping our offense moving forward Women s Basketball

11 Outlook Burke averaged 16 minutes a game off the bench in a back up role last season while averaging 5.4 points and passing out 50 assists. She also showed the knack for knocking down a three, hitting 39.1% (18-46) from behind the arc. Bagnell is still battling back from season-ending knee surgery suffered midway through her sophomore season. The senior guard will see her share of minutes and be counted on to provide leadership on the court throughout the year. Also back is sophomore Mary Rush, who will also see some time at the forward position. Rush played in 28 game as a freshman averaging 3.8 points and 1.6 rebounds per game. She also was one of the team s top free throw shooters, finishing the year 33 of 43 (.767) from the line. The addition of freshman Lisa Moray, a 5-10 shooting guard out of Roy C. Ketcham High School, will give Pape a back-up at the two guard spot. Lisa Moray will step in and fill a back up role with Mary Rush also seeing time at the swing guard position, said the head coach. The key to this season could rest on the Pioneer s fortunes on the block and inside the paint. With so much offense returning on the perimeter, Sacred Heart will need to find some scoring punch in the middle to put opposing defenses in match-up problems. Leading the way are seniors Colleen Duggan and Colleen White along with sophomore Jasmine Walker. Added to the mix are Mikara Cimmino and Jocelyn Kelly, freshmen who can give the Pioneers needed depth in the paint. We head into the season with a twoheaded tandem at the center position in Colleen Duggan and Jasmine Walker with Colleen White starting at the four spot, said Swanson. The center position will be the X- factor for us this season if we can get the kind of scoring we are looking for. Our two freshmen, Mikara and Jocelyn, will give us added depth and strength in the middle. Duggan is coming off a season where she started 26 of the 29 games she played in. The senior center was third on the team in scoring at 7.2 points per game while shooting 52.5% (83-158) from the field. Duggan can also provide an intimidating force defensively after leading the NEC in blocked shots a year ago. She turned away 50 opponent shots last season and still holds the school record for swats in a game with seven against Lafayette in Walker was a solid contributor off the bench for SHU last season, averaging 5.5 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. She will be counted on heavily to increase her offensive output this season. White played in 26 games last year and posted career high numbers in points (95), rebounds (53), assists (16), blocks (14) and steals (15). Cimmino and Kelly, both 6-2 forwards, both are capable of stepping in and providing minutes off the bench. If the Pioneers are to post their fifthstraight winning season and 10th-straight with at least a.500 record, they will have to successfully navigate one of the toughest 27- game schedules they ve seen in years. This is the toughest non-conference schedule we have ever had in my tenure, stated Swanson. We will have our hands full facing teams from the Big 12, Big East, Atlantic 10, CAA, MAAC and Ivy League. This level of competition will get us ready for the tough NEC battles that follow. The season tips off on November 19th with a trip-up I-95 to face Yale University and continues on to Lawrence, Kansas for a date with the Jayhawks of the University of Kansas just before Thanksgiving. Dates with Rider, Columbia, Hofstra, Iona, Richmond, Syracuse and Brown will round out this year s nonconference slate. The NEC schedule gets underway on December 4th at Mount St. Mary s. SHU will play each team twice throughout the season with the exception of Wagner and Fairleigh Dickinson Sacred Heart University 9

22 Review Notebook Another Winning Season and NEC Tourney bid...with a 21-8 overall mark, the Pioneers finished another basketball season with a winning record for the fourth straight year. They also secured a spot in the Northeast Conference Tournament for the fifth-straight year. SHU has never had a losing season since joining the ranks of Division I in and have posted at least a.500 record in the past nine seasons. The last losing campaign came in when the team finished Amanda Pape - ROOKIE OF THE YEAR... Freshman guard Amanda Pape, winner of seven NEC Rookie of the Week Awards, posted veteranlike numbers for the Pioneers last season in earning the NEC Rookie of the Year award. The Stamford, CT native followed teammate Nicolle Rubino as the league s top rookie after ranking seventh in the conference in scoring (15.1 ppg), 10th in rebounding (6.4 rpg), ninth in field goal percentage (47.6%) and second in steals (2.59 spg). Her impressive play also earned her a spot on the All-NEC Second Team and the All-NEC Rookie Team. A Season for the Record Books... Head coach Ed Swanson and his Pioneers put together one of the greatest seasons in school history. Finishing at 21-8, the Pioneers recorded their best season in their five-year Division I history and set a new school record for wins in a season. SHU also finished with a school record 14-4 record in NEC play this season, earning its highest seed (#2) in the NEC Tournament since joining the league in Ed Swanson - Tops of the NEC Coaching Class... Head coach Ed Swanson earned his first Brenda Reilly NEC Coach of the Year award after guiding the Pioneers to its best NEC finish at 14-4 and highest seed (#2) since making the jump to Division I.

She maintained a 3.99 cumulative grade point average and graduated last spring with a degree in psychology. The Academic All-America team is voted on each year by members of CoSIDA. Review Notebook SHU in the Final RPI Rankings... The Sacred Heart Pioneers finished the season ranked 153rd in the CollegeRPI.com ratings. The RPI (Rating Percentage Index) is a measure of strength of schedule and how a team does against that schedule. It does not consider things like margin of victory or where a game is played, only whether or not a team won. It is used by the NCAA as one of their factors in deciding which teams to invite to the NCAA Tournament and where to seed them. CollegeRPI.com is an independent duplication of the NCAA Division I Women s Basketball Committee rankings. Home Sweet Home... The Pioneers continued their winning ways in the friendly confines of the Pitt Center last season. How friendly you ask? The Pioneers finished a perfect 14-0 at home last season and are 18-0 dating back to last season. Their last regular season loss came during the season to St. Francis (PA).

45 NEC strengthens NEC Profile Embarking upon its 24th season in , the Northeast Conference and its member institutions have established a proud heritage in Division I athletics. With the league s silver anniversary approaching, the NEC remains committed to enhancing the experience of its student-athletes, while strengthening its competitive position both regionally and nationally. With that in mind, the NEC s traditional focus on athletic achievement, academic integrity and development, community outreach, and a renewed emphasis on sportsmanship, has never been stronger. The NEC can trace its roots back to 1981, when the league was founded as the men s basketball only ECAC-Metro Conference. Over the course of the last 23 years, the NEC s evolution from a single sport entity to a burgeoning 11-member, 21-sport conference in the year 2004 is a remarkable success story. The league began sponsoring additional sports in 1985 and changed its name to the Northeast Conference in With membership and sport sponsorship continuing to grow over the next decade, the NEC now has access to NCAA automatic bids in 11 sports (baseball, men s and women s basketball, men s and women s golf, men s and women s soccer, softball, men s and women s tennis, women s volleyball). Though the NEC has featured various incarnations since its inception, charter members Fairleigh Dickinson, Long Island, Robert Morris, St. Francis (NY), St. Francis (PA) and Wagner remain part of the current 11-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, which culminated in 1999 with the addition of Sacred Heart, has given the league a five-state geographic footprint with access to such major media markets as New York City, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Hartford. With the addition of four sports over the last six years, NEC member institutions now compete in 21 championship sports: baseball, men s and women s basketball, 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, 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. As only the second full-time commissioner in NEC history, the hiring of John Iamarino on April 7, 1997 signaled the dawn of a new era in the conference. During his tenure, Iamarino has orchestrated the transition from nine league schools to 11; and sports sponsorship from 17 to 21. He unveiled a new NEC logo to wide acclaim in June, 1997, spearheaded the move of NEC Championships to top-notch venues such as FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood, NJ (baseball), Mercer County Park (tennis) and the P.G. County Sports Complex in Landover, MD (indoor track and swimming), initiated a new football financial aid policy, strengthened scheduling requirements and aggressively stepped up the league s marketing and merchandising efforts. Under Iamarino s guidance, the NEC reached an agreement with Maingate, Inc. in 2004 to become the official merchandiser of the conference and host the league s first ever webstore ( Iamarino has also succeeded in widening the NEC s exposure on a national basis through a number of initiatives. The league s official website - one of the most comprehensive in the nation - was relaunched in 2004 with additional content and features, as well as a state-of-the-art design. To supplement one of the fastest growing basketball television packages in the country, the league televised its first football games last season on Metro-TV. In , the NEC televised 30 basketball games, a record number for the conference, while the league s coverage area exceeded 20 million homes. Along with flagship station MSG Network, other regional television outlets included Fox Sports-New York, Fox Sports-Pittsburgh, Fox Sports-New England, Comcast SportsNet and Metro-TV. As part of the package, the NEC also aired eight men-women basketball doubleheaders. ESPN broadcast the men s championship game for the 17th straight year while MSG televised the women s title contest for the seventh season in a row. In , the NEC received national attention through the awarding of NCAA bids to the conference in 12 team sports. The Central Connecticut State women s soccer team started the ball rolling last fall by defeating Boston College in the first round of the NCAA Tournament before dropping a 3-2 decision in double overtime to Connecticut, the eventual national champion. Men s soccer has been arguably the league s most competitive sport on a regional and national basis in recent years, with nationally ranked Fairleigh Dickinson capturing a record four straight NEC championships while winning four NCAA Tournament matches over the past three years. Individually, St. Francis (PA) s Ryan Sheehan collected All-America honors after finishing sixth in the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Albany running back Gary Jones was selected to the Associated Press I-AA All-America Football team for a second straight season, while Monmouth linebacker Joe Sentipal claimed AFCA I-AA All-America plaudits. In men s soccer, Fairleigh Dickinson goalkeeper Andrew Nucifora was named an NSCAA/adidas Third Team All-America. The NEC set a league attendance record for football in 2003 and finished with five teams ranked in the final Sports Network I-AA Mid-Major Top-Ten poll, the most of any conference. Another highlight was the championship game of the NEC Men s Basketball Tournament, which was played in front of a sellout crowd and a national television audience as host Monmouth defeated Central Connecticut State, 67-55, to win its second league crown in the last four years. On the women s side, St. Francis (PA) won its eighth NEC basketball championship in the last nine years with a triumph over Monmouth. In cross country, St. Francis (PA) s men earned their fifth straight league title, while the Red Flash women made it three in a row. Robert Morris took home its fifth consecutive women s volleyball trophy, women s golf went to St. Francis (PA) for the third year in a row and Central Connecticut State set league records for victories and winning percentage en-route to its third consecutive NEC baseball crown. In the spring, Monmouth utilized victories in both men s and women s outdoor track and field to pull away and win its third NEC Commissioner s Cup. To conclude the campaign, three NEC baseball players were chosen in the 2004 Major League draft. The academic year also boasted a strong balance between athletic feats and academic achievements of NEC student-athletes. 917 league competitors earned NEC Academic Honor Roll accolades, along with one scholar-athlete award winner in each sport. NEC Student-Athlete of the Year Naomi Campano of Mount St. Mary s (women s lacrosse), along with St. Francis (PA) s Andrew Maloney (track and field) and Albany s Victor Camacho (football) earned national recognition when they were named CoSIDA first team Academic All-Americans. Joining the duo were St. Francis (PA) s Beth Swink - a second team award winner in women s basketball who tied an NCAA record by making all ten of her shots in a first round tournament game against Purdue - and Lindsey Stefan, who picked up second team plaudits in outdoor track and field. Robert Morris Christian Lemke and Albany s David Parks earned second team status in track and field and football, respectively, while Central Connecticut State s Sabrina Mariani (women s soccer) and Fairleigh Dickinson s Nadav Gottesman (men s soccer) were chosen as third team honorees. St. Francis (PA) ranks among the top programs nationally in Academic All-Americans over the last six years with 16. Sacred Heart University 43

The key to Sacred Heart s mission is a focus on real-world learning situations that add fire to students future goals. Learning is about living it s about experiencing. This means concrete, real-life study as often as possible. For example, Business Management majors analyze the impact of community development for local towns, Accounting students pass the IRS exam to do volunteer tax preparation for the elderly, Biology majors tag horseshoe crabs in Long Island Sound to monitor their progress. Students leave with a high degree of confidence because they have gained experience. Taking its mission further, Sacred Heart literally plans its campus around the active and engaged learning it espouses. We are a liberal arts college in the Catholic intellectual tradition and that means we work from the person first. Do Teaching Assistants or Professors teach the classes? All of our classes are taught by full time faculty members with 81% of them holding the terminal degree in their field. Sacred Heart has truly dedicated faculty and staff that aim to inspire and motivate students at every opportunity. Are Study Abroad Opportunities available?

50 Anthony J. Cernera, Ph.D. President University Administration When Anthony J. Cernera assumed the presidency of Sacred Heart University in 1988, he was just 38, the youngest head of a leading center of higher education in America. The challenges were immediate and serious. His first official act was to borrow half-a-million dollars just to meet the payroll. An accomplished theologian, he credits the grace of God for the University s stunning turnaround, made possible by a dedicated faculty and staff coupled with a series of bold steps that brought the institution back from the brink. Just 13 years later, Sacred Heart University is thriving. The school continues to break records for the number and quality of applications it receives each year, and 5,700 undergraduate and graduate students now make it the secondlargest Catholic university in New England. Under his steady hand, the University has implemented 11 new academic programs and now offers 30 undergraduate degrees and a dozen graduate programs in four colleges. Its MBA enrollment, for example, is tied with the University of Connecticut as the largest in the state, and the University offers the only American-style master s in business administration in Luxembourg. Dr. Cernera earned bachelor s, master s and doctoral degrees from Fordham University, close to his boyhood home in the Bronx. He remains active in the field of sacred theology, in which he earned his Ph.D., and teaches religious studies each semester. In addition, he has edited several books on related disciplines and written articles and reviews for such publications as America and Momentum magazines. A leader in higher education at the state, national and international levels, he has just completed a three-year chairmanship of the Connecticut Conference of Independent Colleges, and he is one of four vice presidents of the International Federation of Catholic Universities. His civic commitments have included a year-long stint as Ringmaster of the Barnum Festival, serving as a highly visible ambassador of good will. Sacred Heart University is distinguished by more than 20,000 graduates. Its student body is drawn from half the states in the Union and seven foreign nations. In addition to preparing students academically and professionally, the University is well known for its service in the community, from nearby inner-city Bridgeport to far-off El Salvador. Each year, in fact, more than 1,200 members of the University family students and staff alike donate over 30,000 hours of service to others. While 70 percent of all full-time undergraduates now live on campus, the University is actively engaged in the world around it. Dr. Cernera helped found the Institute for Religious Education and Pastoral Studies, which has educated more than 22,000 adults for service to the Church, and the Center for Christian-Jewish Understanding, which has earned the endorsement of Pope John Paul II. The University s National Public Radio affiliate, WSHU, is one of the largest and most successful in the country. Although he heads a $75 million-a-year corporation, with hundreds of faculty members and other staffers, Dr. Cernera stays rooted in the causes and concerns of Sacred Heart University s students and its extended family. He takes special pride in the University s fulfillment of its singular mission as a center of Catholic higher education, preparing young and old for lifetimes of learning and of service. Jim Barquinero Vice-President for Enrollment Planning and Student Affairs Since joining the University in 1989 as a member of the President s Cabinet, Jim Barquinero has solidified his status as a leader in strategic enrollment planning, most notably in the integration of intercollegiate athletics and enrollment services. As the University s chief enrollment officer and chief student affairs officer, Barquinero oversees the offices of Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions, Student Financial Assistance, Marketing, Divisional Budgets, Career Development and Intercollegiate Athletics. In addition, he directs all facets of Student Life, including Residential Life, Commuter Life, Student Activities, Student Union, Intramurals, Dining Services, Personal Counseling, Health Services and the William H. Pitt Health and Recreation Center. Barquinero has been instrumental in a wide range of strategic initiatives integral to the expansion and upgrade of Sacred Heart University. The overall student population has risen by 71 percent to its current rank as the second-largest Catholic university in New England, behind Boston College. Applications continue to rise, reaching a record 4,677 this past year, and so do the SAT scores of each entering class. Barquinero led the feasibility study yielding the expansion and transition of the intercollegiate athletic program from eight NCAA Division II teams to 32 varsity and 10 junior varsity programs, nearly all of which compete at the Division I level. He played a major role in the planning and building of the Pitt Center, a premier athletic facility that also houses a comprehensive fitness center and physical therapy clinic open to the public. He also implemented the Residential Life program that now encompasses more than 2,000 student residents, seven on-campus residence halls and four off-campus facilities. Barquinero earned a bachelor s degree in Economics from St. Anselm College and a master s in Human Services Administration from Antioch College. He lives in Milford with his wife, Pam, and their son Cameron, 6. Gary Rose, Ph.D. Faculty Representative Gary Rose, Ph.D., chair of the Department of History and Political Science, is in his seventh year as the University s faculty athletic representative. He reports directly to the president. A nationally known political analyst and expert on Connecticut politics, Dr. Rose is the author of five books, including Connecticut Government at the Millennium, which was recently published by Sacred Heart University Press. In a typical election year, he is frequently interviewed by the print and electronic media. Dr. Rose has led a group of students and faculty to the last five presidential inaugurations. Dr. Rose, who joined the faculty in 1982, holds a bachelor s degree from the University of New Haven, a master s from Kansas State University and a doctorate from Miami University of Ohio. He and his wife, Laura, reside in Cheshire with their children Garrison, 15, and Meredith, Women s Basketball
