Marty Scarano is in the midst of his 11th year as Director of Athletics at the University of New Hampshire. During his tenure, Scarano has heightened national exposure for UNH athletics with academics, facility renovations and programmatic advancement being top priorities. According to numbers released in 2010, UNH athletics ranks highest in the America East Conference, the Colonial Athletic Association and second nationally among all public institutions, trailing only the U.S. Naval Academy, for the Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of its student-athletes with a mark of 97 percent. Of its 20 current sport teams, 14 of them submitted perfect GSRs of 100 percent. UNH finished second in the America East Academic Cup this past season, achieving a 3.16 cumulative grade-point average, which surpassed the league record for highest GPA.

There have been over $8.5 million in capitol improvements since his hiring in the summer of 2000. In the fall of 2008, the Paul Sweet Oval renovation was completed to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture. The total cost of the project exceeded $500,000. In the summer of 2007, the Cowell Stadium grass field was replaced with a $1 million Field Turf synthetic surface. Additionally in 2007, a complete renovation of Lundholm Gymnasium was undertaken. The $600,000 renovation included a new state-of-the-art bleacher system, new scoreboards, competition baskets and other aesthetic enhancements. Scarano brought about the completion of the $2.15 million Reggie Atkins Track and Field Facility in the summer of 2000. The addition of a center-ice scoreboard and message board at the Whittemore Center was completed in 2001. In 2002, UNH athletics renovated Memorial Field along with the Bigglestone Plaza and Bremner Field on the former Upper Field. The two fields, which feature state-of-the-art synthetic turf and lighting, were built at a cost of $1.5 million apiece. In addition, construction was completed to enlarge and improve the women’s locker rooms in the UNH Field House. Two other major improvements to benefit UNH’s student-athletes have been the renovation of the Jerry Azumah Performance Center for Strength and Conditioning, which features state-of-the-art strength and conditioning equipment, new offices and de-sign, and a complete overhaul of the Student-Athlete Academic Center. Scarano and the University are also in the midst of the planning and fundraising for a multi-purpose outdoor facility. Scarano has focused on moving UNH athletics into the collegiate national arena. To accomplish that goal, UNH has taken on the task of hosting major NCAA cham-pionships. The Wildcat athletic department was host of highly-successful NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Northeast Regionals at the Verizon Wireless Arena (Manchester, N.H.) in 2004, 2007, 2009, and Manchester will once again be the site of the Northeast Regionals in 2011. UNH has had the opportunity to host two NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey Frozen Fours in the Whittemore Center in 2002 and 2005. In addition, UNH successfully hosted the 2007 NCAA Skiing Championships in Washington Valley, as well as the 2005 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Northeast Regional, which took place at the Whittemore Center. This past season, men’s and women’s ice hockey, football, the men’s and women’s ski teams and gymnastics, as well as members of men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, all competed in the NCAA postseason. Because of these initiatives and accomplishments, UNH athletics has consistently been ranked in the top 90 programs among all Division I institutions in the battle for the NACDA Directors Cup, which is well ahead of nearly all of UNH’s conference opponents. This past season, the Wildcats ranked 72nd out of more than 370 Division I schools with 260.50 points, which were the most in program history, the best in America East and placed the ‘Cats in the top five among FCS teams. UNH ranked behind only Villanova, Princeton, Cornell and Harvard in the FCS subdivision. In New England, the Wildcats finished fourth behind Boston College, Connecticut and Harvard. Scarano’s many accomplishments during his tenure have played a key role in UNH being named one of the Top 20 Athletic De-partments in the Country in U.S. News and World Report college athletics rankings in March 2002. UNH’s graduation rate for athletes has maintained levels at or exceeding 90 percent, which puts it among the nation’s best in Div. I. The men’s ice hockey team won the regular season Hockey East title in 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008 and 2010, and then advanced to the NCAA Frozen Four in 2002 and 2003. The Wildcat women’s hockey team won the Hockey East Tournament championship four straight seasons from 2006-09, which also included Frozen Four appear-ances in 2006 and 2008. The women’s gymnastics team won its first-ever EAGL title in 2003, when the event was hosted at the Whitt. The volleyball team won an America East crown in 2002 and 2003 and went on to the NCAA tournament in those same seasons. The field hockey team made the NCAA’s in 2000, while women’s lacrosse made “The Big Dance” in 2004 and again in 2008. UNH football returned to national prominence and was ranked No. 1 in the nation for parts of three seasons from 2005-07, made it to the NCAA FCS playoffs the last six years, including the quarterfinals five times in that span, and also won its fifth consecutive game against an FBS opponent in 2009. Additionally, 21 coaches have won 58 Coach of the Year awards during Scarano’s tenure. In 2007, Scarano was named the All-American Football Foundation Athletic Director of the Year for FCS football in the Northeast region. Scarano was also awarded the National Association of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) AD of the Year for the FCS. Scarano also been an active member in the leadership of UNH’s three major conferences and was the chair of the executive committees for Atlantic 10 football, Hockey East and America East from 2003 to 2007. He also served as chair of the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Committee in 2005-06 and 2006-07. Scarano held the position of Athletics Director at Colorado College from July 1996 through June 2000. The college’s athletic program excelled both in and out of the classroom under his supervision and six different athletic facilities received renovations, including the Schlessman Pool, Washburn Field, the Carle Weight Room and a new press box at Stewart Field. During his tenure, Colorado College was ranked among the top 20 Division III programs in the Sears Cup national standings and produced several All-Americans, all-academic award winners and NCAA post-graduate scholarship recipients. During Scarano’s tenure at Colorado College, the men’s ice hockey team became a regular at the NCAA men’s ice hockey championships. Prior to his stay in Colorado Springs, Scarano worked for 13 years at Colgate University, where he served as assistant director of athletics, director of physical education, associate director, and senior associate director. Scarano, a native of Pittsburgh, Pa., is a 1978 graduate of Penn State University, where he started his athletic career as assistant ticket manager and the athletics events manager from 1980-83. Scarano holds a Master’s Degree in Environmental History from Colgate. He and his wife, Cydney, have two daughters, Lynden, a junior at UNH, and Corey, and a son, Kyle.

Michael Daly heAdcoAch

Michael Daly (‘90) became the eighth head coach in the 34-year history of the UNH women’s lacrosse program on August 3, 2009. This is Daly's second coaching stint at his alma mater. He initially joined the program as an assistant coach in July 2007 and remained the primary assistant until September 2008.

In his first season at the helm, Daly guided the Wildcats to a 10-7 overall record and an America East-record 13th consecutive league tournament appearance. The 'Cats opened the 2010 season with four consecutive wins, including a defeat of intrastate rival Dartmouth College for the first time since 1991, to climb as high as No. 15 in the IWLCA national poll and mark the best UNH start since 1989. New Hampshire recorded 100 total assists for just the second time in program history and led America East in both assists and assists per game.

As an assistant at UNH, Daly aided in numerous phases of the program, including recruiting, practice and game preparation, budget and team travel, fundraising and community service. The 2008 Wildcats received an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament, finished 13-6 overall and ranked No. 6 in the nation defensively.

Prior to the 2007-08 year at UNH, Daly was head coach at Stonehill College (Easton, Mass.), where he compiled a 140-27 record in nine seasons and was named IWLCA Division II National Coach of the Year three times (1999, 2003, 2005). He led the Skyhawks to the Division II national championship in 2003 and 2005 – and a runner-up finish in ’02 – as part of a seven-year span in which the team advanced to the semifinals five times.

Daly guided Stonehill to nine consecutive conference regular-season titles (1999-2007), which included eight undefeated league marks, and eight straight conference tourney championships (2000-07). As a result of his program’s excellence, Daly was honored as Northeast-10 Conference Coach of the Year a total of six times, including the 2002 through 2006 seasons.

In addition to overseeing every aspect of the women’s lacrosse program, Daly held the title of Assistant Director of Athletics at Stonehill College and as such he directed, scheduled and staffed all athletic facili-ties for practices, competitions, special events, fundraising activities and NCAA tournament events; and administered the equipment, facilities and capital budget. Furthermore, Daly served as an academic advisor and was also involved with the NCAA Lifeskills program and SAAC.

Between his coaching stints at UNH, Daly worked at C.E. Communication Services, Inc. (Franklin, Mass.), where he served as the marketing director and webmaster, and also oversaw government sales.

Daly earned a B.A. in Communication and Business Administration at UNH in 1990, then received a master’s degree in Sport Management ('94) and MBA (‘96) from Northeastern University.

Jess Burnap enters her fifth season as an assistant coach at her alma mater. Burnap, who earned a B.S. in Psychology in 2005, was a four-year standout for the New Hampshire women’s lacrosse program. As one of the program’s most prolific scorers, Burnap broke the UNH single-season goals record with 72 in the 2004 season and recorded 81 points that year. She compiled career totals of 168 goals and 45 assists for 213 points to leave the program ranked No. 2 in both goals and points as well as No. 9 in assists.

Burnap, who started all 74 games in her four-year career, became the third Wildcat to reach the 150-goal milestone with the 150th of her career April 13, 2005 vs. Harvard. She also became just the third player in program history to attain the 200-point milestone with a point vs. Albany on April 24, 2005. And her eight-goal effort vs. Boston College in 2004 tied the school record at the time.

A native of New Canaan, Conn., Burnap earned IWLCA All-America Second Team and America East Player of the Year honors in her record-breaking junior season. She was a three-time selection to the America East All-Conference First Team (2003, 2004, 2005) and earned both Second Team and Rookie of the Year honors in 2002. As a senior tri-captain, Burnap was named to the preseason Tewaaraton Watch List (nation’s top player award) and to the IWLCA National Honor Roll for her academic achievement.

Burnap grabbed headlines for her offensive prowess but was a multi-dimensional player for the ‘Cats. She led the team in draw controls as a junior and senior and was the team leader in ground balls as a sophomore. She led the Wildcats to league regular-season and tournament titles – and an NCAA tournament appearance – in 2004, as well as runner-up league tourney finishes in the other three seasons.

Prior to coming back to UNH as part of the coaching staff in the summer of 2006, Burnap was head coach of the girls lacrosse team at Deering High School (Portland, Maine) for the 2006 season.

Meg Reddy joined the UNH women’s lacrosse staff as an assistant coach in August 2010. Reddy, a native of Salem, N.H., earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Massachusetts in May 2009 and was a four-year letterwinner for the Minutewomen lacrosse team.

She had a breakout senior season in which she recorded 33 goals and 11 assists for 44 points – as well as a school-record 77 draw controls – to garner All-Atlantic 10 Second Team and Atlantic 10 All-Tournament Team accolades. Reddy was selected to compete at the Under Armour North/South All-Star Game following the conclusion of that 2009 season. In addition to her single-season benchmark of 77 draw controls, she holds the UMass record for career draw controls (123). Reddy compiled 87 points (64 goals, 23 assists) in 70 career games.

Reddy was head coach of the Exeter Area High School girls varsity lacrosse team in 2010 and also served as head coach of soccer and basketball at Timberlane Middle School. She has additional coaching experience at various camps, including the Seacoast United Lacrosse Program (Hampton, N.H.) and IAS Lacrosse Program (Greenfield, Mass.).

In her schoolgirl career at Salem High School, Reddy was a two-time All-State selection and the all-time leading point scorer (189 points: 125 goals, 64 assists) in lacrosse, and she also was named Gatorade NH Player of the Year in soccer. Reddy captained the Blue Devils’ lacrosse team as a junior and senior, and led the team in scoring both years.

those points were recorded in six America East league games. Stager, who was named to the 2010 All-Rookie Team, was one of the primary 'Cats utilized on draw controls and she ranked third on the team is draws. Cyester saw limited action in six games last season. Kleinen-dorst was a midseason walk-on following the completion of the women's ice hockey season; she redshirted the 2010-11 women's hockey season due to injury but will be ready for the '11 women's lax campaign. A pair of Granite Staters – Kacie Connal and Molly Gaffey – will challenge for playing time. Both players were All-State selections as sophomores and juniors. The young defensive unit is led by junior Erin Levesque and sophomore Casey Doyle. Levesque, who saw limited playing time as a rookie in 2009, played in 16 games and was in the starting lineup 10 times in '10 as her role increased tremendously in her second year as a Wildcat. Doyle missed just one game last season and was in the starting lineup 15 times while Stager played in every game and had 14 starts. A quartet of freshmen – Brittany Conner, Jamie DePetris, Cara Dowdle and Cori Rees – will be immersed into game action immediately. Conner earned All-America status as a high school senior while Rees was a three-time All-State selection and Dowdle garnered All-State recognition as a senior. UNH has two experienced returning goalkeepers with junior Kate Gunts and sophomore Kathleen O'Keefe in the fold. Gunts played in 11 games (seven starts) last year and she had a 5-1 re-cord with an 8.66 GAA and .421 save percentage. In two seasons, Gunts has a 14-6 record with an 8.34 GAA. O'Keefe, a 2010 All-Rookie honoree, went 5-6 with an 11.03 GAA and .408 save percentage in 12 games (10 starts). She saw increased playing time and more starts as the 2010 season pro-gressed and played in 63% of the overall minutes. New Hampshire opens the 2011 season on the road against familiar regional rivals Holy Cross (Feb. 23) and Dartmouth (Feb. 26). The Wildcats play the first of six home games March 2 against UMass at Memorial Field. UNH hits the road that weekend with a trip to Colgate (March 5), and the following weekend the 'Cats travel to the Constitution State to play Fairfield (March 12). That game is the first of four in a seven-day span. UNH plays host to George Mason on the 14th, then goes south to battle Vanderbilt (March 16) and Presbyterian (March 18 in Atlanta, Ga.). New Hampshire then has its longest break in the schedule be-fore ending the month with another road trip, this time to UMBC on the 26th for its America East opener. Four of six games in April are at Memorial Field, but the month begins at Harvard on the 1st. The Wildcats then play four consecutive league games beginning with a mid-week home matchup (April 6) against nemesis Boston University. UNH travels to Albany (April 9) before welcoming Stony Brook (16th), Ver-mont (23rd) and Boston College (29th) to Durham in consecutive weekends. The regular season concludes May 1 at Binghamton. The top four teams in the conference standings advance to the America East Championship, which will be held May 6 & 8 at the site of the top seed. UNH has advanced to the tourney each of the last 13 years, which is a league record.

The University of New Hampshire women's lacrosse team was expected to have a rebuilding year in 2010 with a new head coach and just four returning starters. It was much more than that, however, as the Wildcats were nationally ranked and finished with a 10-7 record. With Michael Daly in his second year at the helm and 14 players returning – including 10 starters (two America East All-Conference First Team, two Second Team and a league-high four All-Rookie Team selections) – the 2011 UNH squad is once again expected to challenge for the America East throne and advance to the NCAA tournament. Four of last year's top five point producers return as juniors in the 2011 season. Kate Keagins ranked second on the team in both assists (15) and points (40). She led the team in caused turnovers and shots, and ranked second in ground balls as well as draw controls en route to earning America East All-Conference First Team recognition. In the league, she ranked fourth in caused turnovers and 10th in assists per game. Keagins was one of two 'Cats to record double digits in goals, assists, GB, DC and CTO. Ilana Cohen, one of three captains in 2011, and JoJo Curro were All-Conference Second Team selections a year ago. Cohen was the other Wildcat who tallied double digits in those five aforementioned statistics. She ranked third on the team in assists (15) and fifth in points (27) in addition to third in caused turnovers and fourth in both ground balls and draw controls. Curro led all Wildcats with 30 goals in 2010 and she was fourth in points (38) as well as fifth in assists. She ranked third in shots and had a team-high shooting percentage of .566. Rausch, another captain, is the second-leading returning point producer. Last year, she ranked fourth in both goals (25) and assists (14) to amass a total of 39 points despite missing four games.

ABOUT AMeRICA eAST... Now in its fourth decade of operation, America East has evolved into one of the most com-prehensive NCAA Division I conferences with a commitment to broad-based, competitive athlet-ics programs, complementing the academic integrity and missions of the member institutions. Progressive in its approach to its more than 3,400 student-athletes, America East recog-nizes champions in each of its 20 sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and wom-en’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball. America East also conducts the nation’s most comprehensive academic recognition program for student-athletes. With a geographic footprint covering the Mid-Atlantic to Northeast regions of the United States, America East strives to develop champions in academics, athletics and leadership at its nine member institutions: University at Albany, Binghamton University, Boston University, Uni-versity of Hartford, University of Maine, UMBC, University of New Hampshire, Stony Brook University and University of Vermont.

ATHLeTIC SUCCeSS… Twenty-two student-athletes earned All-America recognition and that included seven in women's lacrosse. A record six America East men's and women's basketball teams qualified for postseason tournaments with three NCAA participants, two in the NIT and another in the CBI. For the third time in five years, an America East women's basketball team won a first round NCAA tourney game. An America East men's lacrosse team was ranked as high as seventh in the nation and ad-vanced to the NCAA quarterfinals. Three different league teams have won an NCAA tournament game since 2007. In men's soccer, the 2009 season marked the first time that two America East teams were ranked in the NSCAA national poll at the same time. In men's tennis, a student-athlete became the first America East competitor to qualify for the NCAA individual championships.

ACADeMIC SUCCeSS… America East's 3,400 student-athletes registered a combined 3.05 GPA during the 2009-10 academic year and more than 60 percent of them were named to the America East Academic Honor Roll for recording a GPA of 3.0 or better. In 2009-10, both Vermont (3.19 GPA) and UNH (3.16) eclipsed the previous benchmark for highest grade-point-average in an academic year. Seven student-athletes were tabbed ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-Americans and 20 others were All-District selections. Twenty-four America East teams were publicly recog-nized by the NCAA for multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR) for finishing among the top 10 percent of teams in the nation. UNH ranked fourth nationally in Graduation Success Rate (GSR) with a score of 97.

LeADeRSHIP… America East entered into a corporate sponsorship with Newman's Own, Inc. and Newman's Own Foundation to create the Campus Community Service Challenge to foster social good on the conference's nine campuses and in surrounding communities. Over $100,000 was donated as part of the Challenge. UMBC President Freeman Hrabowski was named one of

the nation's "10 Best College Presidents" by Time. Five America East institutions were ranked among the top

110 national universities according to the U.S.NewsandWorldReportAmerica's Best College Guide.

The University of New Hampshire was originally founded as a land-grant college whose mission was to shape and educate citizenry among the state’s farmers, business people and engineers. Today, the University is a land-, sea-, and space-grant university serving a growing undergraduate student body of about 11,000 and a graduate population of 3,000 in addition to 600 full-time faculty members, 92% of which have earned their doctorate degree. The University has grown into a top public research university occupying 2,600 acres of classic living and learning space, while still maintaining the look and feel of a New England liberal arts college with a faculty dedicated to teaching. UNH’s student to faculty ratio registers at 17:1 with 84% of its classes having 50 students or less. As one of the most prestigious institutions in the Northeast, the Uni-versity of New Hampshire has always been recognized as a leader in education and research, spanning all fields of study and uniting them through interdisciplinary programs, labs, farms, theatres, research centers and libraries. Founded in 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, UNH was among the early state institutions of higher education whose formation was made possible by federal government land grants. The purpose for the grants was to establish colleges that would serve the sons and daughters of farming and laboring families. New Hampshire College was originally situated in Hanover, N.H. Here it was in connection with Dartmouth College before moving to Durham

in 1893 after Benjamin Thompson bequeathed land and money to further the development of the college. The state legislature then granted its new charter as the University of New Hampshire in 1923. The University hosts nearly 550 international students from more than 40 countries and boasts a population of students from 49 states. Along with over 100 majors offered, UNH encompasses seven schools and colleges that undergraduates can choose from: the College of Liberal Arts, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, School of Health and Human Services, College of Life Sciences and Agricultures, Whittemore School of Business and Economics and the Thompson School of Applied Science. And at the very heart of the University’s undergraduate studies is the General Education Program. The GEP is a core program with a breadth of academic subjects that aims to acquaint the student with some of the major modes of thought necessary to understand oneself, others, society, and the world. The University prides itself as being a top 10 entrepreneurial campus (Forbes.com and ThePrincetonReview) and is among the top 30 universi-ties nationally in science research funding from NASA. UNH is home to the NASA-recognized Space Science Center; the In-stitute for Study for Earth, Oceans and Space; and the Institute of Marine Science and Engineering. The English program is staffed by an inspiring faculty of winners of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the MacArthur Fellowship, the Edgar Allen Poe Award and the Young Poets Award. In addition, the Whittemore School of Business and Economics, established in 1962, was recently selected second among all business schools

in a nationwide pool of business school deans. UNH also graduates students who attend top-notch graduate schools, including Law School at Harvard and Cornell, Engineering at Stanford, and Medical school at Dartmouth, John Hopkins and Harvard. In the last few years, several of the athletic facilities have received major upgrades and improvements. In September 2001, the University completed a new $2.15 million track and field facility. The Jerry Azumah Performance Center, a brand new strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House, was dedicated on July 8, 2003. UNH athletics has also added artificial fields at Cowell Stadium, Memorial Field and Bremner Field. Lundholm Gymnasium has received some major overhauls, including a new playing surface, new lights, a new sound system and, most recently, a brand new bleacher system was installed in the summer of 2007. In addition to the incredible improvements of its athletic facilities, the University has upgraded and renovated a large part of its academic cam-pus as well. Most recently, Thompson Hall, one of the standing historical landmarks of the University, has been beautifully refurbished and restored. The University also completed a $52 million renovation of Kingsbury Hall, adding 6,000 square feet of student project space for students in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, as well as a $4.5 million revamp of Hewitt Hall to expand the School of Health and Human Services. In addi-tion, the new 120,000 square foot Biological Sciences Building, Rudman Hall and the Spaulding Life Sciences Renovation project now provide state-of-the-art teaching and researching laboratories. The University also spent $15 million to complete Morse Hall, a new science and engineering building as well as $8.2 million to modernize the Memorial Union Building. This revision to the existing student union build-ing consisted of several upgrades including top kitchen and dining facilities, two theaters, student mailboxes, lounges and meeting rooms, as well as additional retail spaces such as the University Bookstore. The University has also completed construction of the new dining facility on Main Street, Holloway Commons, as well as new dormitories and on-campus apartment buildings. In November of 1995, construction of the $27 million Recreation and Sport Complex reached completion. The new Whittemore Center includes a state-of-the-art 6,500 to 7,500 seat arena for hockey, concerts and con-vocations, as well as a new three-level recreational sports facility within the structure that had housed the old Snively Arena. Combining the atmosphere of a small New England liberal arts college with the resources and opportunities of a major research university, the University of New Hampshire is a place where all students can find or cre-ate their own niche and succeed. While the University offers an extremely broad academic base with an inspiring faculty, it also provides students with thousands of opportunities to get involved, either through athletics, campus recreation, student life, or research. The University is a dynamic community that not only challenges its members academically but also expands their understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity and leads to incredible growth as students, faculty, staff, and as a community.

UNH DIveRSITY STATeMeNT The University seeks excellence through diversity among its administrators, faculty, staff, and students. The university prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, veteran status, or marital status. The University of New Hampshire is committed to creating a more diverse community, knowing that “inclusion, diversity and equity are values inex-tricably linked to our mission of educational excellence.” This diversity strengthens our ability to reach our individual and collective potential and to provide better services and care for all faculty, staff, and students.UNH ATHLeTIC DePARTMeNT MISSION STATeMeNT The mission of the intercollegiate athletics program at UNH is to provide student-athletes a collegiate experience that is enriched by their participa-tion in programs which are competitive at the NCAA Division I level both regionally and nationally. The intercollegiate athletics program also plays an important role by enhancing the quality of life for the University and statewide community by being a source of pride and identification with the University while always maintaining high standards of academic scholarship and integrity. To fulfill its mission, the intercollegiate program must: (1) Provide student-athletes every opportunity to meet academic and athletic demands with the goal of graduating every student-athlete; (2) Provide resources necessary to field competitive teams with league affiliations, and to gain regional and national recognition; (3) Provide equitable opportunities for all intercollegiate athletics by the active recruitment of minority athletes, and provide equitable opportunities for all women student-athletes commensurate with that of their male counterparts; (4) Provide excellent facilities for all athletes to train, practice and play; (5) Conduct all operations within state and federal law, University policies, rules of the NCAA, and athletics conferences in which the University competes.

The Jerry Azumah Performance Center opened its doors in the summer of 2003 to UNH student-athletes and was renovated in the summer of 2008. A monetary donation by Azumah, a recently retired cornerback of the Chicago Bears of the NFL and the 1999 recipient of the Walter Payton Award (top football player in Div. I-AA), allowed the UNH athletic department to overhaul its existing strength and conditioning center. The renovated Center features 5,000 pounds of Olympic weights, 7,000 pounds of dumbbells, 14 Powerlift platform stations, 12 Hammer strength machines and an additional 15,000 pounds of weights. Other renovations included the offices of the strength and conditioning coordinators.

Memorial Field, which has been home for the women’s lacrosse team since the program’s inception, was renovated in July 2002. The renovation transformed a grass field adjacent to the Whittemore Center into an AstroTurf facility that features 95,000 square feet of playing surface, full lighting and Bigglestone Plaza. The project cost approximately $1.5 million and was built in conjunction with Bremner Field, which is a 110,000 square-foot AstroPlay facility located on what was formerly known as Upper Field. The UNH women’s lacrosse team made its debut on renovated Memorial Field vs. the University of Massachusetts on March 14, 2003. Memorial Field proved to be a true home-field advantage in the 2004 season when the ‘Cats went 7-1 in the regular season and then won both the semifinal and final games of the America East Championship to earn automatic qualifying status to the NCAAs.

The University of New Hampshire athletic department significantly upgraded its Academic Center in the summer of 2003, and it continues to change hand-in-hand with the needs of student-athletes. The Academic Center provides a secluded, quiet area in the Field House for women’s lacrosse players to focus on academics. Each of the Academic Center computers has internet access and features wireless access for laptop computers. The Academic Center reflects the University’s commitment to academic excellence. In 2008, 14 UNH women’s lacrosse players were named to the America East Academic Honor Roll, and seven received further distinction on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. UNH’s Michaela Hardy was selected as the 2008 America East Women’s Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the Year and she was joined on the IWLCA All-Academic Team by Sarah Von Bargen. That duo, as well as Ashley Durepo, was named to the America East Women’s Lacrosse All-Academic Team.
