2015 WAGNER MEN’S LACROSSE4

As tenacious as any Seahawk, Wagner College enjoys a bucolic perch atop Grymes Hill overlooking Manhattan and the other boroughs of New York City. Founded in 1883 as a Lutheran proseminary, Wagner has evolved to become an independent resi-dential liberal arts college enrolling a ca-pacity of over 2,000 students. The location of the College above the gateway to one of the world’s greatest financial and cultur-al capitals was the work of alumnus Frank Sutter who convinced the College’s Board of Trustees to relocate Wagner here from Rochester in 1918. In this, the Rev. Sutter and the trustees were extraordinarily pre-scient. Their wisdom provided Wagner with a distinct geographical advantage over all other all liberal arts colleges in the coun-try. Wagner is New York State’s southern-most college and its 105 park-like acres represent the highest elevation on the eastern seaboard from Maine to Key West Florida.

The College’s signature curriculum – the Wagner Plan for the Practical Liberal Arts – capitalizes on the best of a traditional, suburban, liberal arts college campus and the infinite array of educational opportunities afforded by New York City. Students intern in the world’s leading financial institutions. They observe and experience diversity from the sophisticated workings of the United Nations to melting pots of multicultural neighborhoods. They circulate in the city’s unparalleled creative environment of museums, media, and performing arts. This is their laboratory. They immerse themselves and are inspired by the city’s sheer energy.

The contrast between the frenetic life of the city and the almost pastoral setting of the campus is the perfect metaphor for the melding of experiential and theoretical education that is the hallmark of The Wagner Plan. In small learning communities, students and faculty explore the conceptual foundations of the arts, humanities, and sciences. The faculty challenges students to consider new ideas, to master

new skills and technologies, and to reflect and draw meaning from what they have experienced in and out of the classroom.

A lush canopy of mature maples and oaks shades Wagner’s 105-acre campus of manicured lawns and gardens; historic and modern buildings; and sweeping views of Manhattan, Brook-lyn, and New York Harbor. In early 2009, former U.S. President Bill Clinton recognized Wagner College and President Richard Guarasci, at the second annual Clinton Global Initiative University. Wagner was cited for the Port Rich-mond Partnership, an innovative program that will focus the school’s community resources in an effort to improve quality of life in a specific Staten Island neighborhood.

Movie companies have frequently used the campus as a classic college setting, most recently for a movie titled “School of Rock” starring Jack Black (Shallow Hal). The picturesque campus was also used in a fall 2001 televi-sion series, The Education of Max Bixford, starring Rich-ard Dreyfus and as the site of a prospective private mili-

tary school in the HBO series, The Sopranos.

Wagner’s unique location offers students a campus setting that feels hundreds of miles away from anywhere, while actually only a ferry ride away from the professional and cultural riches of the world’s most dynamic

city - New York City

Since the adoption of the Wagner Plan in 1997, enroll-ment has increased by nearly 40 percent and student quality as measured by high school average and SAT scores have improved as well. Once largely a commut-er campus, now 82 percent of all undergraduates live on campus in residence halls that offer “million dol-lar” views. Though continuing to serve students from metropolitan New York, the college draws most of its enrollment from beyond the immediate region.

By every measure – enrollment, endowment, and na-tional reputation – Wagner is ascending the ranks of America’s strongest small colleges that blend the lib-eral arts with a commitment to service and preparation for the professions.

Campus life includes the array of sports provid-ed by an NCAA Division I program which is housed in a 93,000-square-foot sports center featuring an exten-sive fitness center, an indoor NCAA swimming pool and a basketball arena. A football and track & field sta-dium showcases a variety of playing fields throughout the campus including baseball, softball, lacrosse and soccer venues.

Wagner’s alumni include Broadway Tony award win-ners, movie stars, film producers, playwrights, and For-tune 500 CEO’s including the chairman of GE Invest-ments, the chairman of Dupont Europe, the chairman Emeritus of The Oppenheimer Management Company and the chairman of the New York Power Authority.

Visitors to and residents of New York City alike en-joy access to a rich and diverse array of museums, cul-tural organizations, arts performances, sports teams, societies and attractions. Some of the best and most famous attractions in the world call New York City home. We encourage you to find out more about them, so that you can plan a visit to what is one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world. To get to Man-hattan from Staten Island, you can take a ride on the world-famous Staten Island Ferry, a well-recognized icon of New York City transportation, and incidentally, a free ride into the heart of New York City.

Walt Hameline, who announced on November 24, 2014 that he was stepping down as Wagner College head football coach, continues to amass an astounding record of achievement and consistency as the Seahawks’ athletic director, a position he has held since 1981. The results derived from this energetic leader, who approaches each day with relentless energy, passion and enthusiasm, are profound.

“Walt Hamline represents the best of what Wagner is all about - high achievement, integrity and hard work,” said Wagner College President Richard Guarasci. “He has been an excellent teacher, mentor and leader, and

one of the truly great influences on the development and history of Wagner College. It has been my good fortune to work alongside him. “He is a Wagner treasure and he will continue as Athletics Director to leave his indelible mark of character and commitment on this special place,” Guarasci continued. “I look forward to many years of his fine leadership in athletics and on all aspects of our campus community.” For the last eight years, the Northeast Conference (NEC) has presented the Institutional Academic Award to the league member who attains the highest overall institutional grade-point average amongst student-athletes competing in sports sponsored by the NCAA Division I conference. In 2012-2013, for an NEC-record third time, Wagner claimed this award with an NEC-record 3.305 grade point average in its 19 sponsored sports. Additionally, the 2012-2013 Seahawks’ soccer (3.540), indoor women’s track & field (3.457), outdoor women’s track & field (3.457) and men’s lacrosse (3.230) teams paced their 15465respective sports. In 2013-2014, the Seahawks’ Swimming & Diving (3.537), Men’s Lacrosse (3.221) and Football (2.969) squads all won the Team GPA Award for their respective sports. The 2013-2014 academic year was a high-water mark for Seahawk student-athletes on a variety of fronts as Wagner claimed both the SAAC Student-Athlete of the Year (Meredith Ketchmark – Swimming & Diving) and the NEC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year (Ellen Huffman – Golf) Awards. Wagner also had three student-athletes earn NEC Scholar-Athlete of the year Award in their respective sports this past academic year in Huffman (Golf), Kelsey Parker (Softball) and Matthew Kane (Track & Field). Each year, the NCAA recognizes teams that score in the top 10 percent in their sport with respect to Academic Progress Rates (APR). In 2013-2014, five Wagner athletic teams – men’s and women’s tennis, women’s basketball, women’s cross country and women’s golf – were cited by the NCAA with public recognition awards. Additionally, a total of 237 Seahawk student-athletes earned spots on the 2013-2014 NEC Academic Honor Roll, with 64 being named in the fall, 54 in the winter, and 119 in the spring. Of the 64 members of the 2013 Fall NEC Honor Roll, 29 were members of the Wagner football team that is coached by Hameline. In April of 2012, Hameline, who has enjoyed a long and proud association with metropolitan area basketball and the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), was the recipient of the 2012 Distinguished Service Award from the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association (MBWA). Distinguished Service Awards are presented by the MBWA to individuals that have made significant contributions to college basketball.

For more than two decades, he was one of five metro area athletic directors, along with his peers at NYU, Fordham, Manhattan and St. John’s, who helped comprise the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Association (MIBA). Along with NIT Executive Director Jack Powers, Hameline helped select teams for both preseason and postseason NIT’s, while directing other functions such as the NIT All-Star Summer Tour. Under Hameline’s leadership, the Wagner Athletic Department has undergone an ambitious expansion in both sport offerings and facility improvements. Most recently, and thanks to the generosity of one of his former offensive lineman and now highly-successful business man, Marc Lebovitz, Wagner College Stadium was the beneficiary of a striking state-of-the-art video scoreboard in 2010. The scoreboard, donated by Lebovitz, a member of the Seahawks’ 1987 Division III National Championship football team and a 1991 Wagner graduate, represented a major facility upgrade for the Green & White football program, while also benefiting the women’s soccer, men’s lacrosse, women’s lacrosse and men’s & women’s track and field programs. Hameline completed his 34th season on Saturday as the Seahawks posted a riveting 23-20 win at Bryant, giving the Seahawks a 7-4-record and a share of the 2014 Northeast Conference (NEC) regular season title at 5-1, Wagner’s second league crown in the last three years.

The 2014 campaign was the 24th winning season that the Green & White have enjoyed under Hameline, who has amassed an all-time record of 223-139-2 (.615) on Grymes Hill. At the conclusion of the 2014 regular season, those 223 victories ranked fifth among active head Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) head coaches.

During a stirring ceremony prior to kickoff of the September 15, 2012, Wagner vs. Monmouth game, the field at Wagner College Stadium was named Hameline Field in honor of his long-time success at the helm of the Seahawk gridiron program.

An outstanding defensive back at Brockport State, Hameline received his Bachelor of Science degree in physical education in 1975, and went on to earn his Master’s Degree in education from the University of Albany in 1977.

Hameline resides in Colts Neck, NJ, with his wife, Debi, and they are the proud parents of daughters Kristen and Kelly.

Northeast Conference History:It is with great pride and anticipation that the Northeast Conference (NEC) entered its 34th year as an NCAA Division I athletic conference in 2014-2015. Ten strong and committed to strengthening the Conference from within, the NEC comes off the most successful year in league history in terms of athletic and academic success. Poised for a new era of growth, innovation and achievement under the leadership of Noreen Morris, the Conference will continue to build around the theme of #NECPride.nt Row

The NEC and its member institutions are committed to providing opportunities for student-athletes to achieve their fullest potential both in athletic competition and in the classroom. Likewise, the Conference continually strives to be an NCAA Division I leader for student-athlete achievement, academic excellence, integrity, sportsmanship, equity and diversity, community partnership and national engagement.

When the Northeast Conference (NEC) was fi rst established as the ECAC-Metro Conference back in 1981, the league’s founders had one goal in mind: to create a competitive NCAA Division I men’s basketball conference for unaffi liated schools on the Eastern seaboard. A single-sport entity at its inception, the NEC has grown far beyond expectations over the past three plus decades, having transformed itself into a 10-member, 22-sport conference.

In recent years, the NEC has taken aim at elevating the brand awareness of the league, elevating the caliber of its championship events and enhancing the opportunities and experiences for student-athletes that compete in the Conference.

The NEC has raised its commitment to basketball through a host of strategic initiatives, most notably via a Brand and Basketball Enhancement fund, revised scheduling parameters and the implementation of state-of-the-art LED signage at all arenas. The NEC has also provided each institution with a basketball marketing grant that resulted in the highest attendance on the men’s side in 15 years and the highest per-game average in women’s basketball history last season.

The remarkable success story of the Conference began to unfold in 1985, when the league began sponsoring additional sports. Three years later, a change of name was in order and the Northeast Conference as we know it today was born. With membership and sport sponsorship continuing to grow over the years, the NEC now enjoys qualifi cation or play-in access to 14 different NCAA Championships (baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s volleyball).

NEC Footprint - 2014-15 Though the NEC has featured various incarnations since its inception, charter members Fairleigh Dickinson, LIU Brooklyn, Robert Morris, St. Francis Brooklyn, Saint Francis U and Wagner remain part of the current 10-school alignment. They are joined by Mount St. Mary’s (admitted in 1989), Central Connecticut (1997), Sacred Heart (1999) and Bryant (2012). The NEC’s six-state geographic footprint includes access to such major media markets as New York City, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Hartford and Providence.

NEC member institutions now compete in 22 championship sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s bowling, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s indoor track and fi eld, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s outdoor track and fi eld, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.

MATT POSKAYHead Coach

FOURTH SEASONVIRGINIA (2005)

Matt Poskay, an All-American midfi elder who played on two National Championship teams at the University of Virginia following a storied high school career, and the 2010 MVP of the Major Lacrosse League, will enter his fourth season at the helm of the Wagner men’s lacrosse program.

The future appears to be a bright one for the Seahawks. In the fi rst season under Poskay, the former Virginia All-American, National Champion and current Major Lacrosse League All-Star, Wagner was much improved in the fundamentals of the game and played a much crisper, more competitive brand of lacrosse.

On January 27, 2012, the 29-year old Poskay had the distinction of being the youngest inductee ever into the New Jersey Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

The highwater mark of Poskay’s maiden season was a scinitllating come-from-behind 11-8 win over NEC foe Sacred Heart on April 14. Wagner punctuated a rousing comeback with a game-ending 5-0 run, highlighted by clutch goaltending from Nicholas Gibaldi, who would go on to earn NEC Defensive Player of the Week honors for his 20-save effort.

Individually, midfi elder #Nick DePhillips#, one of Poskay’s new recruits last year and a transfer from Ohio State, earned Second-Team All-NEC honors.

For the two seasons prior to coming on board at Wagner, Poskay served as an assistant coach at Drew University in his native New Jersey where he helped the Rangers to a pair of winning seasons.

Prior to his stint at Drew, Poskay served as an assistant coach at his alma mater, A.L. Johnson Regional High School in Clark, New Jersey.

It was during his record-setting playing career at Johnson where Poskay began garnering national attention. He has held the national high school record with 362 career goals for nearly a decade and also tallied 468 career points, tops in state history. On the gridiron, he was a First-Team All-State quarterback as a senior and Second-Team his junior year. He was also the starting point guard for three years on the basketball team.

“We are obviously thrilled to have Matt heading up our lacrosse program” said Hameline at the time of his appointment on June 9, 2011. “His experience at the high school, collegiate and professional levels speak for themselves. I am confi dent that Matt’s background and high energy will resonate in recruiting and help our student-athletes compete at a higher level. He’s been a winner his whole life and I believe that he possesses the ability to transmit that winning edge to our program.”

Poskay, who is the fourth-leading goal-scorer by a Virginia midfi elder, helped led the Cavaliers to national titles in 2003 and 2006. He was selected in the second round of the 2006 Major Lacrosse League Draft by the Boston Cannons following his fi ve-goal performance in the Cavaliers’ NCAA title game win over UMass.

In 2006, he led the Cannons in goals and was named the team’s Rookie of the Year. His 2007 season was even better as he was named a MLL All-Star and then preceded to win the MLL All-Star Game MVP. In 2008, he was again named to the MLL All-Star team while leading the Cannons with 34 goals. The pinnacle of his professional career came in 2010 when he was not only the MVP of the league but also the league’s Offensive Player of the Year.

Poskay graduated from the University of Virginia’s, McIntrie School of Commerce with honors in 2006. He was a United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association Scholar All-American as well as an ACC Honor Roll selection three times.

What They’re Saying About Matt Poskay

“Everyone here at Virginia is excited about this opportunity for Matt at Wagner. Matt has been successful with everything he has touched and he is one of the bright, young lights in the coaching profession. The people at Wagner are going to thoroughly enjoy getting to know Matt and this is an exciting moment for Wagner.” Lacrosse. Matt Poskay is going to be a terrifi c head coach.”- Virginia Head Coach Dom Starsia

Matt’s a great player and a quality individual. He’s had success at every level of lacrosse from youth up to professional. He’s a great teacher. He coached with us after he came back from Virginia, joining the staff at Johnson for a couple years. He’s just a great mind, a great motivator. This will be a great opportunity for him.’- Former Arthur l. Johnson Regional High School Head Coach Tony Calandra

He’s such an intelligent lacrosse mind and I’m sure that will transfer over to his being a head coach. He understands what we’re trying to do from an offensive standpoint. He reads defenses and puts himself in a position to always be a threat and that’s why he’s put up the numbers he’s had. I regard Matt as a coach on the fi eld for us. This is his second year as a captain for us as well. He not only leads but he leads by example more than anything.”- Boston Cannons Head Coach Bill Daye

In September, he had the distinction of being named to the 2014 U.S Men’s National Team, an announcement that came on the heels of his becoming a Brand Ambassador for TheLocker, an athlete-focused social commerce platform that makes it easy to share, collect and buy sports products founded by two-time NCAA All-American and former US National Lacrosse Team member, Sean Morris.

During the past year, Manny has also served the past year as Director of Program Development/Recruiting Advisor at Prime Time Lacrosse, one of the nation’s top player development programs.

In addition to his duties within the Seahawk men’s lacrosse program, Manny will also pursue a Masters of Business Administration here at Wagner.

Gary DiClementi is in his fi rst season with the Seahawk program, having come on board in September, 2014 following assistant coaching stints at Kenyon, Frostburg State, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Kenyon averaged eight wins per season in DiClementi’s four seasons (2011-2014), highlighted by the 2012 season when when the Lords went 10-5 while earning a berth in the NCAA Division III Tournament. Under DiClementi’s guidance, who served as defensive coordinator that season, Kenyon fi nished No. 16 in the nation goals against average. DiClementi, who took over as offensive coordinator in 2014, coached 15 All-Conference athletes during his tenure at Kenyon, including the 2013 North Coast Athletic Conference Newcomer of the Year. From 2010-2011, he served as a graduate assistant-defensive coordinator at Frostburg State University in Maryland. Prior to moving to Frostburg St., DiClementi served as an assistant at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, from 2009-2010.
