Jen Starek enters her fi fth season as head coach of the Chargers’ softball program in 2011. She took over as UNH’s head coach in the summer of 2006 and led the Chargers to a 26-19 record in her fi rst season and a school record 42 wins in 2010 as the team fi nished with a 42-8 mark. The 2010 campaign was yet another successful season under Starek as she led the Chargers to their first Northeast-10 Regular Season title en route to NE-10 Coach of the Year honors. New Haven fell to Adelphi and AIC in the Northeast-10 Championships but swept the NCAA Division II East Region Championships as the No. 1 seed by defeating Georgian Court, 8-0, and taking cross-town rival Southern Connecticut in two games, 5-3 and 4-2. New Haven entered the NCAA Super Regionals as the No. 1 seed as well and took the fi rst of three games against Molloy, 6-5, but dropped the doubleheader to become eliminated from NCAA tournament action and ending the Chargers longest postseason run in program history. They fi nished the season ranked #16 in the NFCA Division II Top 25 Poll. For the second consecutive season, senior Breanne Gleason received All-America accolades, earning a Third Team selection. Classmate Nicole Downs also received Third Team All-America honors and both were named to the NE-10 First Team alongside teammate Chelsea Harold. Also joining the trio on the All-Conference team was freshman Christine Gelardi, earning a spot on the All-Rookie team. Gleason was named the NE-10 and East Region Pitcher and Player of the Year as well and became just the second player in NE-10 Conference history to earn both awards in a single season. Gleason and Downs’ slew of postseason awards also included a Daktronics Division II All-America Second Team and Honorable Mention respectively. Prior to a stellar 2010 season, Starek guided the Chargers into the semifi nals of the 2009 Northeast-10 Conference, falling to cross-town rival Southern Connecticut, and the fi nals of the NCAA Div. II East Region Championship. UNH fell to Georgian Court in a close, 5-3, battle to end the season. In addition to a successful season, Starek picked up her 100th career win following the second game of 2009. The Chargers gave Starek her 100th in a 1-0 win over Wayne State on their spring break trip to the Rebel Spring Games in Kissimmee, Fla. on March 16. After hovering around .500 for the fi rst half of 2008, Starek’s Chargers found their groove late in the season and made an improbable run in the NCAA tournament. UNH dropped its opening round game in the tournament to #9 C.W. Post but bounced back to win four straight games to set up

a rematch with C.W. Post. New Haven fell again to the fi rst-ranked team in the region but gained valuable experience during their run. Prior to her arrival at UNH, Starek spent the previous two years as head softball and fi eld hockey coach at Simmons College in Boston. The Sharks’ 2006 softball team won the Colleges of the Fenway Tournament and scored an opening-round win in the Great Northeast Atlantic Conference (GNAC) Playoffs. The team posted a 19-19 record overall, including wins in seven of the team’s last nine games, to improve upon a 17-22 mark from 2005. She was also the co-head coach of Pressure Softball’s 16 & under team during 2005 and 2006. Previously, Starek has been head softball coach, assistant athletic director and adjunct professor of sports management at Mount Ida College (2003-04). She was an assistant softball coach at her alma mater Springfi eld College from 2001-03, and in 2003 the team went 33-12 overall, their second-highest win total in the last 17 years. “Jen brings a wealth of experience to UNH,” said UNH Director of Athletics Deborah Chin upon Starek’s hiring. “She is an experienced head coach that also has athletic training and strength & conditioning credentials, and we are very pleased to have her take over the Charger softball program.” Starek graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor of science degree in athletic training from Springfi eld College in 2001, and earned an MS in athletic administration there in 2003. Starek was a standout softball and fi eld hockey player at Springfi eld. As a catcher/outfi elder in softball, she was twice a NEWMAC First Team All-Conference selection (2000, 2001), NFCA All-New England Second Team (2001), and NEISCA Division III second team All-Star (1999). The Pride won their fi rst-ever NEWMAC Tournament in 2000, advancing to the NCAA Tournament with a 30-17-1 record. The following season as a senior, Starek led Springfi eld to a 41-10 record, their highest win total in at least 17 years. Starek led the Pride fi eld hockey team to NEWMAC titles 1998, 1999 and 2000. They advanced to the national championship game in 2000, her fi nal season. She is a NATA-certifi ed athletic trainer and a NSCA certifi ed strength & conditioning coach. Starek is a native of Holliston, Mass., and currently resides in Fairfi eld, Conn.

RACHEL FOSTER

The 2011 campaign marks Rachel Foster’s second season as assistant coach for the University of New Haven softball program. In 2010, she assisted with a pitching staff that consisted of arguably the best pitcher in program history, All-American Breanne Gleason. Gleason was also named the NE-10 Pitcher of the Year in 2010, among many other postseason laurels. Prior to her appointment at UNH, Foster was a softball player for Lynn University in Florida. Before suffering a career-ending injury in her junior season, Foster was a starter in her rookie and sophomore season. She was All-SCC Second Team in 2005 after leading the Fighting Knights to the NCAA Div. II National Championship. Additionally,

Lynn was conference champions and regional champions. Foster was a member of the United States World Cup team in 2003 and the USA International team in 2006. While at Lynn, Foster also served as assistant coach for the Spanish River High School in Boca Raton, Fla. A Connecticut native, Foster was a member of the Amity High School softball team. She was the CT Gatorade Player of the Year in 2003 after leading her team to the third consecutive state championship. She was named All-State First team 2002, 2003 and 2004, All-New England in 2003 and 2004 and NFCA All-America in 2003 and 2004. Foster graduated from Lynn in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in hospitality, sports and recreation management.

We have joined institutions across 22 conferences and independents in committing to safe, fun, and entertaining sporting experiences on Division II campuses. We have signed the pledge to create and continue family-friendly experiences for everyone.

NCAA Division II presidents and chancellors affi rm that athletics events should refl ect the values of higher education and the mission of each institution. Division II emphasizes learning and development in a personal setting. As chancellors and presidents, we are concerned about the uncivil behavior exhibited at college athletics contests and thereby pledge to work together to make respectful, family-friendly events a standard of the Division II experience.


BREANNE GLEASON

Breanna Gleason enters her fi rst season as an assistant coach for the University of New Haven after concluding arguably the best four-year career as a Charger. Prior to joining the coaching staff at UNH, Gleason was a member of the Chargers squad from 2007-10, leading the team to three NCAA appearances including the longest postseason run in school history last year. She fi nished her career as the all-time leader in program history in at-bats, doubles, pitching appearances, strikeouts, wins and innings pitched, and also fi nished within the top-10 in six other statistical categories. Gleason’s career, which consists of numerous postseason laurels, is highlighted by two Third Team All-America selections and a Northeast-10 Pitcher and Player of the Year award in 2010, becoming only the second player in conference history to receive both honors in a single year. Gleason became the 20th NCAA Division II pitcher to reach the 1,000th strikeout milestone and the 22nd Division II pitcher to record her 100th win during her senior campaign. In the same year,

she recorded a perfect game in a 3-0 win versus Dowling on March 17, 2010. She was a Daktronics All Region selection all four seasons and earned Northeast-10 Conference First-Team honors in 2009 and 2010. A Connecticut native, Gleason was a member of the Bristol Central High School squad that won the CCC South Conference Championship in 2005 and 2006 and were state runner-ups in 2004 and 2005. She was named All-State twice as a junior and senior and was an All-Conference and All-Academic selection all four seasons. Gleason graduated from UNH in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science in Management of Sports Industries. While serving as an assistant coach, she also takes graduate study courses in the M.B.A. program at UNH with a Sports Management concentration.

Life in the Balance.As a NCAA Division II institution, our emphasis for the student-athlete experience is a comprehensive program of learning and development in a personal setting. Our approach provides growth opportunities through academic achievement, learning in high-level athletic competition and development of positive societal attitudes in service to community. The balance and integration of these different areas of learning opportunity provide our student-athletes a path to graduation while cultivating a variety of skills and knowledge for life ahead.

LearningWe provide multiple opportunities to broaden knowledge and skills.

ServiceWe develop positive societal attitudes through contributions to community.

PassionWe possess enthusiastic dedication and desire in effort.

SportsmanshipWe have a respect for fairness, courtesy and ethical conduct toward others.

ResourcefulnessWe develop a versatile skill set drawn from a broad range of experiences.

BalanceWe place emphasis on collective knowledge and an integration of skills.

Why a Hexagon?The hexagon is a representation of the six attributes that defi ne the Division II experience. Those attributes are learning, passion, resourcefulness, sportsmanship, service and balance. The hexagon is an iconic symbol that can be utilized to express these attributes.

WHO ARE WE? WHAT DO WE STAND FOR?

When I began looking into different colleges, my main goal was fi nding one that would fi t my needs both in the classroom and on the playing fi eld. My interest in the criminal justice fi eld led me to research the University of New Haven further and I saw that it provided the academic opportunities I had been looking for. It offered interesting courses taught by highly qualifi ed professors, along with a great reputation far beyond those of other colleges. Not sure that I would continue my softball career when I entered college, meeting the coaching staff and team members quickly made up my mind. Being a Division II school, I knew the level of competition and dedication would be very high. After seeing the passion both the coach’s and team members had for the game, I realized that I couldn’t go through my four years of college knowing that I gave up a sport that I shared an equal passion for. Playing for the team taught me the importance of hard work and dedication. Coming to UNH has been such a rewarding experience, while pursuing my studies in criminal justice as well as taking part in the softball program. UNH has set me up for the success. I know that I will be able to excel in my career path because I chose division II.

* = Northeast-10 Conference contest^ = Rebel Spring Games contest# = Northeast-10 Conference Softball Championship$ = NCAA Division II Softball Championship


The Northeast-10 enters its 30th year as there is little surprise why the Northeast-10 Conference has continued to grow stronger year by year since it’s inception and now stands as a model conference of NCAA Division II.

The conference was built from the ground up with strong cornerstones and a vision of becoming the premier Division II NCAA athletic conference in the nation. A quick look around the league today will tell even the casual observer that the NE-10 has done so. The conference is a powerful union of strong academic and athletic colleges and universities that incorporates 16 institutions from New York and New England. The NE-10 sponsors the most championship sports of any Division II conference in the nation.

The Northeast-10 can look to a long history of successes – the growth from seven original schools to more than double its size 20 years later – the contention for and winning of national championships – the change in league structure from on-campus administration to a central governing location – the anticipation of, coping with and addition of modern technology - the recognition of student-athlete performances in the classroom where the real competitions are played out – all of them have been built thanks to the hard work and dedication through the years of thousands of people who have, at one time or another, called the Northeast-10 home for their athletics program or their livelihood.

The NE-10 history began with the vision of a few good men and women. It was back in 1979 that a handful of athletics directors realized that the world of college athletics was changing and that they, and their programs, would have to change as well.

In the late 1970’s and early 1980’s the NCAA began to emphasize the importance of conferences in organizing competition and determining bids to NCAA national tournaments. The NCAA required six teams to be recognized as a conference in order to award championships, and the creation of national tournaments with automatic qualifiers to league champions became a new goal towards which teams could strive.

The founding fathers of the NE-10 were only happy to comply. Thus, a handful of athletic directors at smaller schools, classifi ed Division II and of similar scope, academic makeup and athletic abilities hatched the idea of a new athletics conference in New England. Therefore, on October 9, 1979, a simple press release announced that a new unnamed Division II conference was being formed. Eight months later, at the Pleasant Valley Country Club in Springfield, Mass., the league was publicly announced.

The Northeast-7 Conference established instant credibility in its membership and that credibility led to a slow but continued expansion through the years. The admittance of Saint Anselm in 1981 created the Northeast-8. In 1984, Hartford joined the ECAC Division I North Atlantic Conference but was immediately replaced by Merrimack.

The “Northeast-10” name came about when Saint Michael’s and Quinnipiac joined the league in 1987 and the conference remained stable until 1995 when Springfi eld left for Division III. The league stayed at 10 members as Le Moyne joined the league in 1996 from the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) and briefl y expanded to 11 when Pace joined in 1998 from the New York Collegiate Athletic Conference (NYCAC). Quinnipiac elevated to the Division I Northeast Conference (NEC) to again return the foundation of 10 until the last major expansion took place prior to 2001 when fi ve new schools joined the fold. Franklin Pierce, Southern New Hampshire University (formerly New Hampshire College), the University of Massachusetts Lowell and Southern Connecticut State University were joined by the College of Saint Rose.

In 2008, Bryant University departed for Division I and the University of New Haven immediately to replace Bryant in all sports, maintaining a 15 institutions in the conference.

Adelphi University, becomes the newest member of the conference this year, bringing membership to 16 full-time institutions.

Deborah Chin, Associate Vice President Director of Athletics and Recreation

Steven H. Kaplan, Ph.D., University PresidentSteven H. Kaplan, Ph.D., became the sixth president of the University of New Haven (UNH) on July 1, 2004. Dr. Kaplan joined a nearly 85-year-old institution dedicated to experiential education. With enrollment of over 5,200 undergraduate and graduate students representing more than 35 states and some 45

countries, UNH has several nationally ranked programs in a number of majors in business, engineering, public safety, and the liberal arts and sciences.

Dr. Kaplan was presented to the community in March 2004 by then Board of Governors Chairman Robert Alvine, who characterized the president-designate as energetic, well-liked and respected, focused and remarkably effective in mobilizing an institution’s resources to achieve target results. His highest priorities are strengthening the University’s endowment, growing enrollment to optimum levels, and engendering an atmosphere for excellence among all constituencies. He has focused on establishing strong relationships with members and organizations within UNH’s circle of constituents – faculty, students, administrators, alumni, friends, campus neighbors and leaders of Connecticut’s business and public service communities.

As president, he oversees a faculty of nearly 400, 530 staff, and an annual budget of $84 million.

Previously, Dr. Kaplan was chancellor and professor of English at the University of Virginia’s College at

Wise, Virginia, the only four-year branch campus of the University of Virginia and one of the nation’s best public colleges, according to U. S. News & World Report.

Dr. Kaplan began his teaching career in 1982 as an Instructor of English at the University of Maryland, European Division. From 1985-1989, he served as Visiting Lecturer in American Studies at Eberhard-Karls Universitat, Tübingen, Germany – one of the oldest and most highly regarded universities in Europe. After completing his doctoral studies at Eberhard-Karls Universität, he returned to the U.S. to teach English at the University of Southern Colorado. Within three years, he was made department chair, serving in that capacity for two years before becoming Director of the Center for International Studies.

Dr. Kaplan also served as dean of Arts and Humanities at SUNY College at Buffalo, an institution with about 11,000 students; and as Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Butler University, an independent comprehensive institution of fi ve colleges and 3,400 students, which is ranked by U. S. News & World Report as one of the top regional universities in the Midwest.

He completed his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature at Eberhard-Karls Universität in Germany and holds the Master of Arts degree (with a concentration in philosophy, German, and English), also from Eberhard-Karls Universitat. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California at Los Angeles.

Dr. Kaplan is the author of a book on American translations of the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke, a number of scholarly essays, a book on Tim O’Brien’s

fi ction with the University of South Carolina Press, and an anthology of international war stories with the University Press of Colorado.

Dr. Kaplan and his wife, Anemone Schweizer-Kaplan, are both ardent opera buffs and love to ballroom dance, hike, and downhill ski. They share a great love for the visual and performing arts and have traveled to over twenty-fi ve countries in twenty-fi ve years, including Tanzania where they hiked up Mt. Kilimanjaro. They have a son and three daughters

Dr. Kaplan grew up in Chicago, the son of a shoe store owner and an actress-comedienne. He said his stepfather, Irving Glovin, taught him to love ideas and appreciate the contributions we all need to make to good causes. He was a good friend of Oskar Schindler, was instrumental in getting the story out in book and fi lm form (associate producer of the fi lm), and is the President of the Oskar Schindler Humanitarian Foundation. Dr. Kaplan also serves on the board of the foundation.

His wife grew up in Southwest Germany. She holds the equivalent of an American M.A. in Secondary Education and taught at a German high school. She is a ceramics artist and taught German and pottery during their time in Wise.

Deborah Chin became the school’s fourth director of athletics in 1993, and currently oversees a department which sponsors 17 NCAA Division II varsity sports. She was elected to the prestigious position of Chair for the NCAA’s Division II Management Council for 2008.

UNH Athletics has enjoyed a high level of success across the board during Chin’s tenure as Director of Athletics, advancing to NCAA tournament play 50 times in 14-plus years. UNH has recently made a number of capital improvements to athletic and recreational facilities, including the construction of the multi-million dollar David A. Beckerman Student Recreation Center, a $1.3 million synthetic turf renovation of Kayo Field (soccer and lacrosse), as well as installation of state-of-the-art blue and yellow synthetic turf at the new Ralph F. DellaCamera Stadium. Chin spearheaded efforts to re-instate football as a varsity program and fi nd UNH a new athletics conference that best fi ts the institution’s long-term academic and athletic aspirations. Both goals were accomplished when UNH announced on November 13, 2007 that it had been accepted as a full member of the prestigious Northeast-10 Conference, effective the 2008-09 academic year. The Charger football team will return to the gridiron for the 2009 season.

A member of the University of New Haven staff since 1975, Chin began her UNH career as Coordinator of

Women’s Athletics. She was responsible for starting the women’s intercollegiate athletic program at UNH, coaching volleyball, tennis, basketball and softball in the early years. Chin eventually surrendered all head coaching responsibilities, except volleyball, when she was promoted to Associate Director of Athletics in 1979.

Among her numerous honors, Chin was named the NACWAA NCAA Division II Administrator of the Year in 2009 after serving as the D-II Management Council Chair. In 2007, the Connecticut Sportswriters’ Alliance presented Chin with the Gold Key Award, the state’s top sporting honor which recognizes significant contributions to athletics in the State of Connecticut. Chin won the NACDA/Continental Airlines Athletic Director of the Year for the Northeast Region in 1998-99 and was awarded the NACWAA Josten’s District I Administrator of the Year Award in 1997. Chin won the National Association for Girls and Women in Sports Presidential Award in March 1997 and was the Connecticut Post Woman of the Year in 1993. Chin has also earned the U.S. Volleyball Association Meritorious Service Award and the YMCA Women in Leadership Award.

As head women’s volleyball coach, Chin fashioned a Hall of Fame resume - literally - earning induction into the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Hall of Fame in December, 2006. Chin is also a member of the Connecticut Volleyball Hall of Fame (Inducted October, 1998), the Connecticut Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame (April, 1999), and the Athletics Hall of Fame at her alma mater, SUNY-Cortland.

In a 19-year career (1975-93) as head coach for the Chargers, she posted a 578-179 record (.764) and was at that time only the fi fth Division II coach to win 500 career matches. The Chargers made 10 trips to the NCAA tournament during Chin’s reign, reaching the top fi ve four times. Her awards include six AVCA Northeast Region Coach of the Year distinctions as well as eight New England Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year honors. Chin coached the Chargers to twelve 30-win seasons, including six straight. She is also recognized internationally as a top volleyball clinician.

As an administrator, Chin has served on over 30 national and regional committees. In addition to her most recent position as Chair of the Division II Management Council, her resume includes terms as chairperson for the NCAA Division II Volleyball Committee (1988-92), the NCAA Division II Baseball Committee (1997-2001), the NCAA Northeast Regional Football Committee (1999-2003), and the NACDA John McLendon Minority Scholarship Committee (1999-present). She served four years on the NACWAA Board of Directors (1993-96), and acted as the Volleyball Commissioner for the 1995 Special Olympics World Games held in New Haven.

A graduate of SUNY-Cortland with a Bachelor’s of science in physical education, Chin earned her Master’s of science degree in physical education from UNC-Greensboro.

DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICSMission StatementThe mission of the department of intercollegiate athletics is to support the mission of the university and to integrate intercollegiate athletics into higher education so that the educational experience of the student-athlete is paramount. The department will provide growth opportunities to achieve in a nationally competitive intercollegiate program that attracts, nurtures and graduates student-athletes who under the guidance of a quality staff, represent the University of New Haven with character and integrity while achieving academic excellence, serving the community and pursuing excellence in their respective sports.

PhilosophyHigher education has lasting importance on an individual’s future success. For this reason, the emphasis for the student-athlete experience at the University of New Haven is a comprehensive program of learning and development in a personal setting. As an NCAA Division II program, our approach provides growth opportunities through academic achievement, learning in high-level athletic competition and development of positive societal attitudes in service to community. The balance and integration of these different areas of learning opportunity provide our student-athletes a path to graduation while cultivating a variety of skills and knowledge for life ahead.

The University of New Haven seeks to provide the world with leaders who can make a positive difference in a global society. Student-athletes are afforded unique opportunities for leadership because of the visibility provided through athletics competition. UNH’s intercollegiate program provides opportunities for its student-athletes to develop moral virtues, such as courage, self-confi dence, and integrity and to learn communication and teamwork skills associated with outstanding leadership. Thus the Department of Athletics helps the University satisfy its primary aspiration, which is to prepare students to lead purposeful and fulfi lling lives in a global society through experiential, collaborative, and discovery-based learning.

The Department of Athletics is committed to delivering intercollegiate athletics programs that are consistent with the University’s mission and generates the trust and support of its various constituencies. The goal of the department is to fi eld sports teams that compete successfully against other NCAA Division II teams while upholding the academic standards of the University of New Haven. The department is also committed to conducting its programs in strict adherence to the policies, rules and regulations set by the University’s administration, Board of Governors, the NCAA and the Northeast-10 Conference.

Through its programs, the department gives its student-athletes of different genders, races, religions, national origins and sexual orientation opportunities to participate in intercollegiate competition. The intercollegiate program will function free of discrimination with a University commitment to the adherence to Title IX and the Offi ce of Civil Rights guidelines. A major goal of the Department of Athletics is to help student-athletes realize the full potential of their athletic abilities while also increasing their intellectual capabilities and providing them a meaningful opportunity to earn a baccalaureate degree. The department will not compromise its commitment to educate and graduate its student-athletes.

Department of Athletics personnel are expected to represent the University in a manner consistent with UNH’s principles and values. All personnel are expected to perform their responsibilities with the highest standards of integrity, ethical behavior and sportsmanship at all times. Coaches and staff are expected to treat student-athletes fairly and with respect and to facilitate leadership that helps them mature physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially.

Athletic Highlights• The UNH women’s volleyball team has reached the NCAA Sweet 16 seventeen times since 1983, and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight 11 times, including an Elite Eight appearance in 2008.• Baseball has consistently been ranked as one of the winningest Division II programs in NCAA history. Baseball Coach Emeritus Frank “Porky” Vieira retired after the 2006 season as Division II’s all-time winningest coach by percentage, and logged 1,127 career victories. The team has appeared in 17 College World Series and made 32 Regional appearances.• Baseball has also produced nine major league players, including former Cy Young winner Steve Bedrosian of the Philadelphia Phillies.• Women’s Basketball won the NCAA Division II National Championship in 1987.• The football program appeared in four NCAA championship playoffs, earning runner-up status in 1997. That title-game appearance made UNH the only football team in the State of Connecticut to ever compete for a national title and the smallest school (in terms of enrollment) to compete for an NCAA Championship.• Tailback Roger Graham won the 1993 Harlon Hill Trophy as the top Division II Football Player in the nation.• Men’s Soccer reached the NCAA fi nals in 1976 and fi nished third in 1977.
