Quinnipiac University Athletics Celebrates Decade of Division
I
As the 2010 calendar year comes to a close, Quinnipiac will
celebrate its first full decade (2000 - 2010) at the Division I
level. The Bobcats have shown great success in a small period of
time, immedi-ately announcing themselves on the Division I
landscape with numerous NCAA Tournament appearances to the opening
of the TD Bank Sports Center. Although Quinnipiac began Division I
competition at the start of the 199899 season, the process began
two years earlier when Quinnipiac President John L. Lahey sent a
letter to the NCAA announcing Quinnipiacs intention to enter the
countrys highest athletic division. Jack McDonald, director of
athletics and recreation, said it was neces-sary to make the switch
to Division I because of potential student-ath-letes and other
applicants interested in Quinnipiac. Prospective students who were
interested in Quinnipiac were also applying to Fairfield, Hartford,
Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, McDonald says. We found the
general interest of Quinnipiac had risen from a Division II/III
school to a Division I school. Since Quinnipiacs official entrance
into Division I on Sept. 2, 1998, the athletic department has
experienced tremendous growth. The coaching staffs have made the
transition from part-time to full-time, and the Athletic and
Recreation Center has doubled in size. In 12 years the number of
full-time staff members increased from about 25 to 65. Perhaps the
most visible change was the opening of the 185,000-square-foot TD
Bank Sports Center in January 2007, home of the mens and womens
basketball and ice hockey teams. Despite the added emphasis on
athletics, Quinnipiac continues to hold a reputation for high
academic standards. Numerous teams and individual stu-dent-athletes
have been nationally recognized for their work in the classroom
over the last decade. Every student-athlete goes to college for two
reasons to get a degree and make the NCAA tournament, McDonald
said. Our graduation rate and GPA is higher than the rest of the
student body. Im very proud of that. Most student-athletes will
never play professionally, but they all need their degree.
Over the course of the 201011 season, Quinnipiac will recognized
special moments and players from the Bobcats first full decade at
the Division I level. Because there were so many deserving moments
in the last decade, it was extremely difficult to narrow down the
list. For example, was announcing the Bobcats as the Universitys
new nickname on Aug. 27, 2002 one of the top moments, or the
baseball team advancing to the 2005 NCAA Regionals against Texas?
Maybe it was the mens and womens Ice Hockey teams invitation to
ECAC Hockey on July 9, 2004, or was it the womens soccer team
winning Quinnipiacs first-ever game at the Division I level in
September 1998? The 2009-10 season alone could have produced three
or top 10 moments with womens cross country winning a NEC-record
sixth straight cham-pionship, mens basketball hosting the largest
crowd in TD Bank Sports Center histor for the NEC Tournament
Championship, mens ice hockey ranked fourth nationally or womens
ice hockey hosting an ECAC Hockey Tournament series. Although the
200809 season marked the Universitys first 10 years competing at
the Division I level, there is even higher potential for the
current decade. With all the successes the teams accomplished in
the past, there is room for greater achievements in the future
including: increasing the teams graduation rate and GPA, increasing
the number of teams that advance to NCAA tournaments, and win-ning
NCAA tournament games. The importance of strong academics and
athletics advancing together is essential for greater success at
the Division I level. Weve become such a successful program with a
beautiful campus, great facilities, student-athletes who excel
academically and coaches who do a great job with the total
well-being of the student-athlete, McDonald says. Its been a
tremendous 10 years.

Tom MooreHead CoachFourth YearBoston University 87
Now in his fourth sea-son, Tom Moore has led Quinnipiac to new
heights, both on the court and in the classroom, in his three years
as head coach of the Bobcats. Named the 2010 Jim Phelan Northeast
Conference Coach of the Year by his peers, Moore led the Bobcats to
an unprecedented 23 victories in 2010. He guided the Bobcats to the
programs firstever NEC Regular Season Championship and national
postseason tour-nament berth (NIT). Under Moores tutelage, Justin
Rutty was named the programs firstever NEC Player of the Year.
Rutty and James Feldeine were also named to the allleague first
team under Moores direction.
A large part of the Bobcats success in 200910 was their prow-ess
on the boards. Quinnipiac was one of four teams Kansas, Kentucky
and Radford to finish the year in the top 10 in the country in both
rebounding margin and rebounds per game. Quinnipiac finished the
year behind only Michigan State (+8.6) in rebound margin at +8.5,
while taking 10th in the nation in rebounds per game at 40.4.
Individually, Rutty finished second in the nation in offensive
rebounds per game (4.9) for the second con-secutive year.
In the classroom, Moore has led the greatest turnaround of any
team in NCAA Division I during his threeyear tenure as head coach.
According to a study prepared by FoxSports.coms Jason Belzer, the

respectively. Rutty received First Team recognition, while Feldeine
was named to the Second Team and receiving the first Northeast

Three points better. Quinnipiac mens basketball head coach Tom
Moore has made that statement the mantra of his 201011 team. He
wants his team to prepare to be three points better than it was
last season, when it fell to Robert Morris, 5250, in a memo-rable
Northeast Conference Tournament Championship Game in front of
nearly 4,000 screaming fans in gold tshirts at the TD Bank Sports
Center and thousands more watching nationally on ESPN2. With plenty
of talent returning, including the reigning Northeast Conference
Player of the Year in Justin Rutty, the Bobcats have all the tools
to take the next step, be three points better, and earn a berth
into the 2011 NCAA Tournament.
Joining Rutty from the 200910 starting lineup is playmaker James
Johnson, who has started all 64 games the Bobcats have played in
his collegiate career. The duo of Rutty and Johnson comprises what
many believe is the most lethal insideoutside threat in the
league.
Prior to coming to Quinnipiac, Tom Moore earned a reputation as
one of the best recruiters in the country. The class of senior
guard Deontay Twyman, then a junior college transfer, sophomore
forwards Jamee Jackson and Raheem MayThompson, and sophomore guard
Dave Johnson have shown why Moore is so highlyregarded.
Twyman learned the ropes as a sixth man behind James Feldeine a
year ago, and is poised to become a proficient scoring option for
the Bobcats in 201011. Jackson was a valuable big man off the bench
last season and has shown flashes of brilliance that could make him
Ruttys heir apparent. Dave Johnson is a speedy and crafty floor
general who provides a welcome change of pace to his namesake,
James Johnson, at the point guard position. And after a solid
summer that saw him ranked by Sports Illustrateds Luke Winn as the
19thranked player on NCAA Division I rosters at the U20 Euro
Championships, MayThompson looks to emerge as a solid contributor
this season.
201011 Quinnipiac Mens Basketball Season Preview
22
-
Add yet another very solid recruiting class, and the sky is the
limit for the 201011 Bobcats. Moore and his staff brought in junior
college trans-fer wing William Harrison, freshman forwards Ike
Azotam, Tevin Baskin and Mike Gabriel, as well as guard Dominique
Langston. In addition, transfer guards Lance Brown (Fordham) and
Garvey Young (Vermont) were starters at their former schools, and
will contribute along with UNCAsheville transfer Austin Alecxih in
201112.
I like the balance of talent, depth, and experience we have on
our roster right now, said Moore. Justin Rutty, James Johnson, and
Deontay Twyman are talented upperclassmen who have already had
success in big games for Quinnipiac in their careers. Our sophomore
class will have to make a nice step up this year because we will
have to rely on them much more. Im very excited about the potential
of our newcomers. I feel each of them has something they do well
that they can bring to us right away.
Backcourt
James Johnson gets things started at the point for the Bobcats,
and has been named the Northeast Conferences best playmaker by
Lindys. He averaged 12.1 points and 4.0 assists per game, while
shooting a teambest 38.5 percent from long range and 82.9 percent
from the freethrow line last season. Johnsons signature performance
came at Robert Morris on Feb. 20, when he torched the Colonials for
a careerhigh 28 points.
Twyman averaged 7.1 points per game while shooting 85.2 percent
from the freethrow line and 37.2 percent from long range off the
bench in 200910. Hell get the bump to the starting lineup as a
senior, and will be looked upon to fill some of the void left by
James Feldeines graduation.
Dave Johnson provided valuable minutes off the bench in 200910,
averaging 3.8 points and shooting 78 percent from the freethrow
line. Hell be looked upon in threeguard sets with James Johnson and
Twyman, as well as to give either player a rest. He proved
highlycapable of running the show for the Bobcats during their
summer European Tour, dishing out 7.5 assists per game against
competition across the pond.
Newcomers Dominique Langston and William Harrison will look to
spark the Bobcats at the twoguard and wing positions. A Bridgeport
native, Langston played a prep year most recently at St. Thomas
More after a highlydecorated scholastic career at Kolbe Cathedral.
Harrison played two years at Western Texas College, averaging more
than 14 points per game as a sophomore.
Veterans Sean Light and Kevin Tarca also provide leadership off
the bench. Both reserves saw action in 12 games a year ago.
Our perimeter guys have a huge challenge in front of them trying
to replace the scoring of James Feldeine and the toughness of
Jeremy Baker, said Moore. I think James Johnson, Deontay Twyman,
and Dave Johnson give us great quickness and scoring ability at the
guard spots. Im excited about the talent and potential of Dominique
Langston and Will Harrison as bigger guards and well try Raheem
MayThompson and Tevin Baskin out on the wing as well. We have a lot
of different lineup combinations, which comes from having quality
depth on the perimeter.

front. Jamee was very good on our trip to Europe and has the
strength and athleticism to be an impact player for us. Ike Azotam
and Mike Gabriel are both going to be very good for us. They are
strong and tough kids who like to compete. I feel both will help us
right away. We also have the luxury of using Raheem MayThompson,
Tevin Baskin, or Sean Light as more mobile four men against smaller
teams.
ScheduleThe Bobcats have perhaps the most exciting home schedule
in program Division I history. Moore has attracted a pair of
Atlantic10 foes to the TD Bank Sports Center this season, as well
as several regional midmajor pow-ers. In total, the Bobcats have
scheduled a programrecord 15 home games this season.
Headlining the nonconference schedule are visits to the TD Bank
Sports Center by Massachusetts (Dec. 1) and Rhode Island (Dec. 11),
as well as defending conference champions and 2010 NCAA Tournament
participants Vermont (Nov. 20) and Lehigh (Dec. 7). Things get
started on Nov. 16, when the Bobcats play host to Hartford, while a
visit from Maine (Nov. 29) gives the Bobcats six nonconference home
games.
In addition, the Bobcats have circled Jan. 27 on the Northeast
Conference schedule, when Robert Morris returns to the TD Bank
Sports Center for the first time since spoiling Quinnipiacs NCAA
Tournament hopes last March 10. Pairings with intrastate foes
Central Connecticut (Jan. 15) and Sacred Heart (Feb. 9) are also
highly anticipated.
Also included on the docket is a visit to Mohegan Sun Arena for
a meeting with Yale in the second annual Connecticut 6 Classic
(Nov. 13), a Thanksgiving Week trip to Dartmouth (Nov. 23), trips
to newcomers to the QU schedule, Niagara (Dec. 22) and Boston
University (Dec. 29), as well as a break from NEC play for a Jan.
17 road trip to Brown.
We are very happy with our home and road schedule, said Moore.
It is very exciting to have the two Atlantic 10 teams in UMass and
URI com-ing to TD Bank Sports Center. The rest of the nonconference
schedule is a nice crosssection of regional schools which we feel
will properly prepare us for our Northeast Conference schedule. I
am very excited about how our students and the local Hamden
community came out to support us at the TD Bank Sports Center last
year while we were winning the NEC Regular Season Championship. Im
hopeful that enthusiasm continues into this season as we turn our
home court into one of the toughest places to play in the
Northeast.
FrontcourtThe Bobcats possess perhaps the greatest luxury in the
Northeast Conference in 200910 NEC Player of the Year Justin Rutty.
Rutty domi-nated the league with 15.3 points and 10.9 rebounds per
game as a junior. He shot 54 percent and grabbed 4.9 offensive
rebounds per game, good for second in the nation for the second
consecutive year. Against some of the stiffest competition he faced
all year, Rutty flourished. He scored a seasonhigh 30 points and
grabbed 15 rebounds at Rhode Island and added 22 points and eight
rebounds in the National Invitation Tournament at Virginia Tech. He
enters the year 15th alltime on the NEC Career Rebounding list, and
if he averages the same 10.9 rebounds per game in 201011, hell walk
away as the NECs alltime rebounding king.
Ruttys partner on the blocks will be Jamee Jackson, who showed
flashes of great things to come as a freshman. He averaged 4.0
points and 3.7 rebounds per game, scoring a seasonhigh 10 points
against Dartmouth and grabbing a seasonhigh 10 rebounds at Yale.
With a season under his belt, Jackson projects to be a solid
running mate on the opposite block from Rutty. Further proof of
Jacksons development was the 13.3 points and 10.3 rebounds he
averaged, including nearly six offensive rebounds per game, in
Europe.
Raheem MayThompson saw action in 20 games as a freshman, but
emerged on his home continent with 13.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and
1.3 blocks per game during the Bobcats European Summer Tour.
MayThompson showed aggressiveness and toughness during the summer
tour previously unknown to the Brit.
Ike Azotam and Mike Gabriel provide the Bobcats with perhaps
their greatest depth on the low post in the Tom Moore era. Azotam,
a Boston native and Marianapolis Prep graduate, averaged a
doubledouble of 11.5 points and 12.0 rebounds in Europe. He shot a
teamhigh 58.6 percent (1729) during the tour and averaged 4.5
offensive rebounds per game. Gabriel, a Chicago product out of
Lincoln Park High School, comes to Quinnipiac with a collegeready
body at 6foot8, 230 pounds.
When Baskin becomes eligible on Dec. 22, Tom Moore will have a
unique new weapon. Perhaps the most highlyregarded recruit Moore
has landed in his time at Quinnipiac, the 6foot6 Baskin provides
threepoint range and a slashing, highflying dynamic usually unseen
in the Northeast Conference.
Our frontcourt is led obviously by Justin Rutty, said Moore. His
scoring and relentless work on the glass has helped us establish
rebound-ing as one of the trademarks of our program since he
arrived here. Jamee Jackson will have the first opportunity to
replace Jon Cruz as a starter up

NEC HISTORYBy providing opportunities for student-athletes to
achieve their full-est potential both in athletic competition and
in the classroom, the Northeast Conference has charted a course of
steady growth since its inception in 1981. Now in its 30th year of
service, the NECs new strategic plan has established a blueprint
for the future as the conference strives toward becoming an NCAA
Division I leader for athletic success, academic achievement and
integrity, sportsman-ship, equity and diversity, community
partnership and national engagement.
The NEC can trace its roots back to 1981, when the league was
first established as the mens basketball-only ECAC-Metro
Conference. A single-sport entity at its inception, even the
leagues most ardent supporters during its formative years could not
have envisioned a transformation into a burgeoning 12-member,
22-sport conference. The remarkable success story of the
confer-ence 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 next 20 years, the NEC now enjoys qualification or play-in
access to 13 different NCAA championships (baseball, mens and
wom-ens basketball, field hockey, mens and womens golf, womens
lacrosse, mens and womens soccer, softball, mens and womens tennis
and womens volleyball).
Though the NEC has featured various looks since its inception,
charter members Fairleigh Dickinson, Long Island, Robert Morris,
St. Francis (N.Y.), Saint Francis (Pa.) and Wagner remain part of
the current 12-school alignment. They are joined by Monmouth
(admitted in 1985), Mount St. Marys (1989), Central Connecticut
State (1997), Quinnipiac (1998) and Sacred Heart (1999). NEC
expansion continues with the addition of Bryant University in 2012
as the leagues 12th member, which will give the league a six-state
geographic footprint with 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, mens and womens basketball, womens bowling, mens and
womens cross country, field hockey, football, mens and womens golf,
mens and womens indoor track and field, womens lacrosse, mens and
womens outdoor track and field, mens and womens soccer, softball,
womens swimming, mens and womens tennis, and womens volleyball.
Mens lacrosse will begin competi-tion this season and officially
become the leagues 23rd sport in 201011.
NEC NEW MEDIA/TELEVISIONMore widely recognized than ever, the
NEC is providing a number of new ways in which its growing fan base
can follow the action.
The conference began by fulfilling its strategic plan-driven new
media initiatives in 200910 when it launched its own YouTube
channel, created NEC On The Run podcast segments, and added NEC
Flashbacks, a video on-demand archive, to its web site. More
recently, the conference dove into the social media arena by
launching a Facebook page and offering periodic news updates via
Twitter. Further enhancing its multimedia efforts, the conference
provided a webstream of a womens basketball game of the week in
200910, and raised the number of NEC championship webcasts from
five to eight.
To supplement one of the premier regional basketball television
packages in the country, the conference also produces a football
package and a preseason basketball show entitled NEC Countdown to
Tipoff. Over the last five years, the conference has televised
nearly 150 events, as the leagues coverage area expanded to over 50
million homes. Along with flagship station MSG Network, other
regional television partners include MSG Plus, FSN-Pittsburgh,
MASN, Fox College Sports, Cox Cable and the Connecticut Sports
Network. In 2009 and 2010, ESPN broadcast the mens basketball
championship game for the 23rd straight year, while ESPNU car-ried
the womens championship game, marking the second time in as many
years that the womens contest reached a nationwide audi-ence.
ACADEMIC SUCCESS
The Northeast Conferences commitment to academic excel-lence
translated into national recognition for both individual
student-athletes and the leagues member institutions as a whole in
200910. NEC student-athletes graduated at an 83.8 percent rate,
which is well above the national average of 78 percent according to
NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) data. Likewise, a total of 19
NEC teams garnered public recognition from the NCAA for their
latest Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. The league placed 42
representatives on ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District teams,
five of whom went onto garner Academic All-America Honors. The
first team honorees were Fairleigh Dickinsons Matt Maher
(baseball), who was a Third Team recipient in 2008, and Wagners
Andrea Lazzari (softball). Saint Francis (PA)s Eric Reifsteck
(field hockey, Second Team), Monmouths Ben Evenden (tennis, Third
Team) and CCSUs Yan Klukowski (soccer, Third Team) were also
honored for their academic and athletic perfor-
25
-
mance. Evenden was a nominee for the prestigious Rhodes Scholar
Award, while Wagner swimmer Alexandra Tomlinson was awarded an NCAA
Postgraduate Scholarship. On a conference-wide level, more than
2,000 student-athletes qualified for the NEC Academic Honor Roll,
nearly a 25 percent increase from the previous year. Saint Francis
(Pa.) posted the highest GPA in the conference to claim the NEC
Institutional Academic Award for the first time.
EVOLVING AND EXPANDINGIn recent years, the Northeast Conference
has taken aim at upgrad-ing the caliber of the leagues championship
sports and enhancing the opportunities and experiences for the more
than 4,000 student-athletes that compete in the conference. Set to
become the NECs 12th full-time member, Bryant has begun competition
within the conference as it moves through the NCAA reclassification
process. The conference also has secured automatic access to the
NCAA Division I Football Championship playoffs beginning in 2010,
making football the 14th team sport in which NEC student-athletes
are guaranteed a chance to compete for the NCAA crown. New sport
sponsorship in womens bowling and mens lacrosse (201011) will
create further opportunities for NEC student-athletes. Set to
embark on a number of branding, sportsmanship and community
initiatives as part of the leagues Strategic Plan, the NEC and its
member institutions are committed to the future growth of the
conference.
