With 30 years under its belt, The BIG EAST Conference continues on a path of success in and out of the athletic arena. The goals have always been the same. The league wants and expects to compete at the highest level and does so with integrity and sportsmanship. The commendable performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are the indicators of the league’s proud tradition of success.

The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2009-10 academic year will mark the conference’s fi fth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference.

In 2008-09, BIG EAST student-athletes again succeeded on the national stage. The Connecticut women’s basketball team won its sixth national championship by defeating conference foe Louisville in an all-BIG EAST NCAA title game. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team reached the NCAA championship game and the Syracuse fi eld hockey squad advanced to the NCAA Final Four. Three BIG EAST women’s cross country teams fi nished in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships. West Virginia was fourth followed by Villanova in sixth place and Georgetown in ninth.

Individually in women’s sports, Providence’s Danette Doetzel won the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Connecticut’s Maya Moore was the conference’s sixth winner of the Wade Trophy as the top player in women’s basketball. Notre Dame’s Kerri Hanks won the Hermann Trophy, the top award in women’s soccer.

On the men’s side, Connecticut and Villanova advanced to the Final Four in basketball. The 2008-09 campaign was arguably the best men’s basketball season in the history of the BIG EAST with the league setting NCAA standards with three No. 1 tournament seeds, four teams in the round of the Elite Eight and fi ve in the Sweet 16.

The St. John’s men’s soccer team reached the NCAA College Cup before losing in the national semifi nals.

B IG EAST foo tba l l has maintained its high profi le and its reputation as a balanced group. Seven of the league’s eight squads were nationally ranked or received votes in the national polls in 2008. Cincinnati was the league champion. The BIG EAST, a charter member of the Bowl Championship Series, has won three of its last four BCS bowl games. West Virginia, Louisville and Connecticut also have won or shared league crowns over the past four seasons.

The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-athletes who were at the forefront of athletic and academic achievement. In 2008-09, 19 BIG EAST players were chosen to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams, including eight fi rst-team selections. Nearly 400 student-athletes have earned academic all-America honors.

The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when fi ve new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida.

BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 34 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one fourth of all television households in the U.S.

Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 27 national championships in six different sports and 126 student-athletes have won individual national titles.

The BIG EAST has enjoyed tremendous basketball success, especially in this decade. In 2008-09, the BIG EAST produced four of the eight Final Four teams in men’s and women’s basketball. It was only the second time in NCAA history that one conference placed that many Final Four teams in the same season.

In 2003-04, Connecticut became the fi rst school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the fi rst conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 11 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken six of the last 10 NCAA titles.

Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. In 2009-10, the BIG EAST will add men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which will increase its total to 24 sport championships. The fi rst women’s golf championship was held in the spring of 2003. Women’s lacrosse and rowing were added in 2001.

The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance.

While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference refl ects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics.

Any successful organization has been fortunate to have outstanding leadership. Michael Tranghese, the league’s fi rst full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Dave Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. For 2009-10, the BIG EAST will undergo one signifi cant change. Tranghese

stepped down from his position on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who has served as senior associate commissioner, has moved into the Commissioner’s chair.

The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC.

BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past six years. Attendance fi gures also are signifi cant in soccer and baseball.

More than 550 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned all America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been well represented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams. Several athletes earned gold medals in each of the last six summer Olympiads.

The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 athletes.

THE BIG EAST HAS WON 27 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, INCLUDING THE

2009 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TITLE WON BY CONNECTICUT.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Louisville Cardinals were named the favorite to win the BIG EAST softball championship this season in the annual Preseason Coaches’ Poll. 2009 BIG EAST Player of the Year Melissa Roth leads a group six returning players for the Cardinals who were All-BIG EAST selections ago. Four squads received fi rst-place votes and topped 110 points in this year’s poll.

Louisville garnered six fi rst-place votes and 137 total points to earn top billing in 2010. Roth, a senior catcher, paces the of-fense while senior pitcher Kristen Wadwell led the BIG EAST in wins, innings pitched, strikeouts and complete games last sea-son. Junior Chelsea Bemis joins Roth and Wadwell as returning All-BIG EAST First Team selections while senior Vanessa James, junior Colby Wherry and sophomore Kristin Austin were second team honorees. Louisville fi nished 2009 ranked No. 18 in the ESPN.Com/USA Softball Top 25 Poll.

DePaul came in second in this year’s poll, only six points be-hind Louisville. The Blue Demons received four fi rst-place votes and 131 points. Senior Becca Heteniak, the reigning BIG EAST Pitcher of the Year, anchors the Blue Demons in the circle as she led the league in ERA last season. Heteniak also got it done at the plate in 2009, fi nishing third in the conference in home runs, RBI and slugging percentage. DePaul ended last season No. 19 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25 Poll after winning the BIG EAST regular season title.

Notre Dame, last year’s BIG EAST tournament champion, comes in third in the coaches’ poll with two fi rst-place votes 125 total points. Senior Christine Lux and sophomore Dani Miller, both 2009 All-BIG EAST First Team selections, provide the Irish with a strong middle of the order while junior pitcher Jody Valdivia, a second team honoree, anchors the circle. Notre Dame fi nished 2009 ranked No. 25 in the USA Today/NFCA Division I Top 25 Poll.

The fi nal fi rst-place vote in 2010’s coaches’ poll was awarded to USF. The Bulls entered last year’s BIG EAST Championship as the No. 5 seed and upset No. 4 Syracuse before falling to top-seeded DePaul in the semifi nals. USF is led by 2009 All-BIG EAST First Teamer sophomore Janine Richardson and third team selection senior Cat Olnick.

Syracuse was the only other squad to top 100 points, tallying 101. Orange sophomore Jenna Caira, the 2009 BIG EAST Rookie of the Year, is the staff’s ace and will be leaned upon heavily to offset the loss of three senior position players who were All-BIG EAST selections last year.

St. John’s comes in at the seven spot in the 2010 poll with 78 points and will once again rely on the arms of juniors Kat Law-rence and Linzee Sumrall. The pitching duo fi nished third and fourth respectively in the conference in strikeouts. The squad also returns All-BIG EAST Second Team selection senior Stacia Dopudja.

Louisville Tabbed As 2010 BIG EAST Softball Favorite

With 71 points, Connecticut comes in just behind the Red Storm. Junior Julianne Towers, a second team all-conference selection looks to lead the Huskies in lieu of graduated seniors Micah Truax and Rachael Crossin. Pittsburgh sits in eighth with 64 points. Reba Tutt, who played every game for the Panthers and led the team in batting, returns for her junior season.

The fi nal fi ve BIG EAST squads are stacked closely together as they are separated by 11 points. Providence leads this group with 44 points narrowly edging Georgetown which received 42 points. The Friars feature top returners Christy Becker and Jenna Garcia, who both tallied over 20 runs last season along with senior pitcher Danielle Bertolette. The Hoyas will look to sophomore designated player Mackensey Carter who was an All-BIG EAST Third Team selection in her rookie campaign.

Seton Hall and Villanova tied with 38 points in the poll. Seton Hall advanced to the BIG EAST Championship last season as the No. 8 seed, but fell to No. 1 DePaul in the quarterfi nals. Villanova was 23-26 overall last season but struggled in confer-ence play going 6-18. Rutgers rounds out the 2010 coaches’ poll with 33 points. The Scarlet Knights tied with the Wildcats for 12th in 2009 with an identical 6-18 league mark but were 23-33 overall.

This season’s BIG EAST Championship returns to Louisville, Ky., for the third straight season. The three- day tournament begins on May 13 with four quarterfi nal games. The semifi nals on May 14 and the championship game on May 15 will be aired live on CBS College Sports.

• In 2010, the biggest key for the Red Storm is continued improvement from the team’s junior-class core of pitchers Kat Lawrence and Linzee Sumrall, catcher Kacee Cox and outfi elder Chelsea Durning. All four players ranked in the top fi ve in the BIG EAST in their respective pitching, offensive and defensive categories. • Cox returns at catcher, where she fl ourished last season as a sophomore after spending her 2008 freshman campaign at third base. With Cox behind the plate for all 50 games, the St. John’s pitching staff’s ERA dropped from 3.58 in 2008 to 2.92 in 2009.• Senior Stacia Dopudja, who earned All-BIG EAST second team honors last season, will resume her starting role at fi rst base. Her seven home runs and 19 RBI both ranked third on the team last season.• St. John’s returns two of the best pitchers in the BIG EAST in juniors Lawrence and Sumrall. The Red Storm was the only team in the conference with two pitchers ranked in the top 10 in innings pitched (Lawrence sixth, Sumrall ninth) and strikeouts (Lawrence third, Sumrall fourth).

• The Wildcats are returning the majority of their infi eld with veteran players, losing just two from last year’s squad.• Villanova’s entire pitching staff from last year, with starters Caitlyn Delahaba and Molly Manning, will also return.• The Wildcats will have senior leadership from Jess O’Boyle, Eryn Teague and Danielle Maricle. All three are captains and all three have been consistent starters over the past few years.• Maricle is the top returnee in batting average at.296 last season. She was also the team leader in runs and stolen bases a year ago.• Delahaba and Manning look to improve on successful rookie campaigns in the BIG EAST.
