PRESIDENT MORDECHAI ROZANSKIRIDER UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE 2006-2007
Mordechai Rozanski became Rider University’s sixth president on August 1, 2003. In his first three years at Rider, President Rozanski has undertaken an ambitious program of institu-tion renewal that is leading the University to the next level of prominence and excellence. Last year,he oversaw completion of a comprehensive and highly participatory strategic planning process pro-viding the framework for Rider’s renewal. The plan builds on the University’s 140-year legacy of dis-tinguished achievements and is strengthening the institution’s academic stature, student life, financialrobustness and reputation.
President Rozanski envisions Rider as a leader in American higher education celebrated for educat-ing talented students for citizenship, life and career success in a diverse and interdependentworld. As part of this vision, Rider will achieve distinctiveness by focusing on students first,by cultivating leadership skills, by affirming teaching and learning that bridges the theo-retical and the practical and by fostering a culture of academic excellence.
The most visible evidence of Rider’s renewal is the $28 million in facilities projectscompleted last fall with the opening of the new residence hall and the completion of thefirst two phases of the new Student Recreation Center (SRC). The residence hall, alongwith new three-story additions to adjoining Hill and Ziegler residence halls, provide186 new beds and apartment-style suites for students. The 55,000 sq. ft. SRC housesa 3,600 sq. ft. fitness center, three multi-purpose playing courts, a 165-meter elevatedjogging track, and student game room. The facility also includes offices and conferencerooms for Rider’s expanded intramural and club sports programs and camp and confer-ence services, an atrium connecting the SRC to Alumni Gym, Rider’s primary athleticsfacility, and a café and lounge area.
Planning is under way for the third phase of the SRC that will include a new arena for bas-ketball, volleyball and wrestling as well as renovation of Alumni Gym. Plans are also under wayfor a new academic complex for Westminster Choir College, complete with large performance andrehearsal spaces, classrooms and practice rooms. These are in addition to a number of academicand student life enhancements that have been completed over the past three years on both cam-puses.
President Rozanski’s 30-year record of higher education leadership includes service at FairleighDickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey, from 1986 to 1991, first as dean of liberal arts andthen as provost and vice president of academic affairs. He also served as provost of Wagner College,on Staten Island, New York, until his appointment as president of the University of Guelph, inOntario, Canada, where he served from 1993 to 2003. During his tenure, President Rozanski ledGuelph to national prominence as Canada’s top-rated comprehensive university on three occasions;and two successful capital campaigns, exceeding $100 million, increasing the university’s endow-ment by 300 percent.
President Rozanski’s life story evokes his philosophy that education has the power to transformlives. Born in Poland, the son of Holocaust survivors, his family fled to Israel, lived in France andimmigrated to Montreal in 1953. His parents’ greatest wish was for him to get the education they weredeprived.
He was the first in the family to complete elementary school and went on to study at McGillUniversity in Montreal, earning a B.A. in Chinese history. He then earned a Ph.D. in Chinesehistory/American East Asian Relations at the University of Pennsylvania in 1974. He variously held sum-mer fellowships at Columbia University and Stanford University and a year-long fellowship in Chineselanguage studies and research in Hong Kong.
President Rozanski held the rank of professor and taught Chinese and Asian history at several universitiesand colleges. He has published and lectured on Chinese history, Chinese-American relations, inter-national education, higher education, and other related topics.
He and his wife Bonnie reside in Betta House, the President’s residence adjacent to the Ridercampus in Lawrenceville, N.J. Their son, Daniel, and his family live nearby in Lawrenceville.

and strong leadership qualities and was impressive in his understanding of the importance of athlet-ics within Rider’s strategic plan. I look forward to working with Don as he leads the athleticsdepartment during this exciting time of renewal for the University.
“It was difficult to leave the sidelines,” Harnum said. “But having been a part of the biggerpicture for the last year, I feel I can make a positive contribution to Rider, the athletics program,and most importantly, to the lives of our more than 350 student-athletes. This is a time ofunprecedented growth at the University, and it is exciting to be a part of it as director of ath-letics.”
Harnum coordinated several initiatives during his term as interim athletics director.

nator and increased corporate sponsorships and donor support. Meanwhile, he has also beeninvolved in the planning and design of a new Rider athletics arena and has served as a mem-ber of the Mercer Sports Organizing Committee when Rider and the Metro Atlantic Athletic

Harnum also guided his team to its first National Invitation Tournament bidduring his inaugural year as head coach. Harnum compiled an overall record of 127-104.

Q & A WITH TORI HARRISONRIDER UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE 2006-2007
Q
Q
QQQ
Q
Q
Q
Q
QWhat is your coaching philosophy?
Every team that I have been associated with(either as a player or coach), there has alwaysbeen a dominant post player. So naturally, thatphilosophy has rubbed off on me. I am an‘inside first’ orientated coach. We haven’t beenable to show that since we haven’t had the sizewe’ve needed here, but now that we have somesize hopefully we’ll be able to implement someof the things that I’ve wanted to. In most suc-cessful Division I programs, you have to havethe capability to go inside and score and then,once people try to stop your inside game, youcan go outside. Having size definitely givesyou the versatility you need to be successful.
Why should a student-athlete considercoming to Rider?
The coaching staff has worked very hard toestablish and maintain a family oriented atmos-phere. I have played and coached at big timeprograms. That’s the kind of atmosphere that Iam trying to create. When it was time to getdown to business we did, and when it was timeto relax and enjoy the collegiate atmosphere, wedid that. I want to continue to build that atmos-phere. With strong academics and a strong fam-ily atmosphere, each year we have been moresuccessful at recruiting student-athletes that willsucceed on the court and graduate from Riderand be successful.
What kind of student-athlete are you looking for?
It has to be a good fit. Rider is not for everyathlete. We’re looking for someone that fitswith the team chemistry. It is important forthe team to have chemistry off and on the court.You are around each other 24 hours a day so youhave to get students that share the team philos-ophy of working hard on and off the court.Most of all, you look for the player who will fityour needs athletically. If I need size, I am cer-tainly not going to sign all guards.
What has been the highlight of your firsttwo years at Rider?
The 26-foot three-point shot that Becky Howermade to defeat Loyola in the MAAC playoffswith no time left on the clock in March, 2005.That was Rider’s first MAAC playoff win in fourseasons. That was a special team and I wish I hadthat team for more than one season. Hower wasa tremendous asset; she was like having a secondcoach on the floor. I’m looking for more of thosemoments with my team this season.
What will the strength of the 2006-2007Rider team be?
The one thing that our team will be known foris that the players will work hard, no matter thesituation; we will dive for loose balls and playour hardest, every play. We have so many newplayers with so many different strengths. Theattribute that they all share is their work ethic.With the efforts of our returnees, we will workhard with no excuses.
Any specific goals set for the 2006-2007season?
One of the goals I would set is for us to go outand work hard as a unit every night. Every tickof the clock, we have five people out there play-ing hard. The other goal is the continued suc-cess of the team off the court. Working hard inthe community, working hard in the classroom,doing the right things off the court will give usthe opportunity for success on the court andhopefully the success on the court will makemore people want to come out and support us.
What is your fondest memory as an athlete?
In 1987 when we played in the NationalChampionship. It was the first sell out crowdfor a women’s basketball Final Four. We playedin Austin, Texas and we beat the University ofTexas on their home court to go to the nationalchampionship game. My fondest memories as
a player are my teammates and the tough timesthat we went through to be the best. Ourbonds will be there forever. Those are thingsyou can’t take away.
What are you most proud of in your life?
I am most proud of my daughter Lauren. Sheis becoming an independent woman. We are inthe process of looking at colleges (and no, shedoesn’t play basketball). I am so proud of herand the woman she is becoming. Lauren is asenior honors student at Blake High School inSilver Spring, Maryland. She is talking aboutIvy League schools and whatever she decides, Iwill be her number one fan.
Who are the toughest teams on the schedule?
Army will be one of the toughest since theywent to the NCAA Tournament last year. TheWagner Christmas Tournament (Wagner,Cornell, St. Bonaventure) will be very compet-itive, but those are games we are capable ofwinning. La Salle is an Atlantic 10 team butwe have them at home this year and we cancompete with them. Princeton’s a local rivaland they always play us tough. The sky is thelimit for this team. On any given night, we feelthat we will be competitive.
Who are the teams who will be in the run-ning for a MAAC title in 2007?
It can be anybody. Of course Marist andCanisius will be strong, but on any night Ithink anybody can be beaten and any team cango for the championship, including Rider.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerfulbeyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing smalldoes not serve the world there is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other peoplewon’t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just insome of us it’s in everyone and as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give otherpeople permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence auto-matically liberates others.”

With a most-ever six six-footers on the roster, third-year head coachTori Harrison is finally able to “Go Big.” “Having been an insideplayer myself, I’ve always been an inside oriented coach, but I haven’tbeen able to do that until now, now that we have some size,” saidHarrison, who as a 6’4” center led Louisiana Tech to a pair of FinalFour appearances as the three-time team MVP.
With the return of seven letterwinners, including three starters,and the influx of seven newcomers, including five inside players, theBroncs look to be vastly improved as well as bigger. “The sky’s thelimit with this group,” said Harrison. “The key is going to be theattitude. We have to start getting the winning mentality going.”
The Broncs will be led by seniors Kara Borel and Monica Welborn,junior Janele Henderson, and sophomore Danielle Costantino.
Borel has been Rider’s leading rebounder in each of the last threeyears and enters the season eighth all-time at Rider. Showing howwell rounded her game is, Borel was fifth in the MAAC in steals asa junior and was second on the team in assists and third in scoring.
“This will be Kara’s senior year,” said Harrison. “She is a tremen-dous athlete and I am hoping Kara and Monica both go out with abang. Kara has played so many different positions; she played cen-ter at 5’9” and she will be in her true position this year at the three.I am expecting a lot from her so the bar will be set high. Kara’s gameis so vast in that she can be the high scorer one day and be the highrebounder the next day, or she can just shut somebody down ondefense.”
Welborn started 21 games last year before a shoulder injury endedher season early. Welborn scored in double figures eight times as ajunior and has now had 15 double-digit scoring games in her career.“We were concerned because Monica’s shoulder took longer to healthan it normally would,” said Harrison. “We will depend on Monicafor her leadership and her offense. She’s been playing out of positionand if she is able to move to her right position, she can flat out putthe ball in the hole.”
Henderson ranked 14th in the MAAC in free throw percentageand 16th in scoring, leading Rider in seven statistical categories,including scoring, and was third on the team in rebounds, assists andsteals. “I am expecting Janele to have a great year,” said Harrison.“I thought she had a good year last year offensively. Defensively, sheneeds to step it up a notch and Janele is willing to do it. Janele isone of those kids that whatever you need her to do, she’s going to doit.”
Costantino led the 2006 Broncs in three-point field goal percent-age and was second on the team in free throw percentage. Daniellewas second on the team in scoring despite being fifth in minutes
played and scored in double figures 11 times, despite playing attimes with stress fractures in both feet. “If Danielle stays healthy,she will have a great year,” Harrison said. “Danielle was playing hurtat the end of last season, but she is healthy now and we are expect-ing great things. She is a self-motivated kid. She’ll try to be the bestat everything she does and if I need leadership, she will lead, if I needsomeone to follow, she’ll follow. Danielle will do everything I askher to do.”
The newcomers are led by transfer Kelli Sawyer. Sawyer came toRider from Long Island University and looks to be the Bronc pointguard this season.
“I told Kelli we need a general on the floor and it’s up to herwhether she will be our leader,” said Harrison. “Kelli has that kindof charisma to get the team going and she has the game to back itup. If we need her to score, she will score, if she has to defend you,she will defend you. She has true point guard mentality. TheMAAC schools know who she since she played at Long IslandUniversity in 2004-05, but I do think that people may have forgot-ten about her after she sat out as a transfer last season. Kelli canscore, distribute the ball and has great court awareness. It’s like hav-ing a second coach on the floor when she’s in the game.”
The rookies consist of Ashley Anderson, Melissa Kowalczyk, IldaLlamas, Amanda Sepulveda and Stephanie Wisniewski.
Anderson, a 6’ forward out of East Orange High School, earnedFirst Team All-Iron Hills Conference and Second Team All-EssexCounty honors, averaging 15.0 points and 12.0 rebounds per gameas a senior. “Ashley is a tremendous athlete who will help us in thepost area,” said Harrison. “Give her some time to get her feet wet,Ashley will be one of the surprises on the team.”
Kowalczyk is a 6’2” center out of Williamsburg, Virginia and wasthe starting center on the Virginia AA State Champions as a senior,leading her team to the District and Regional Championships as asophomore. “Melissa is a strong rebounder and plays solid defense,”said Harrison, “She will add a physical presence in the post for us.She has great stature, great hands and a great work ethic.”
Llamas, a 6’3” center from Santee, California, had a 17 point gameand a 14 rebound game as a senior at West Hills High. “I’m expect-ing Ilda to give us some offense and defensive prowess, just to havea big body in there,” said Harrison. “Her size will give us a good tar-get in the middle.”
Sepulveda is a 5’5” point guard who compiled 13.9 points, 5.3assists and made 55 three-point field goals in 2005-06, earning FirstTeam All-State Prep A honors. “Amanda will add some depth to ourpoint guard position,” said Harrison. “We look for Amanda to be a

floor general.” Sepulveda was named First Team All-Mid-AtlanticPrep League, First Team All-Prep by both the Trenton Times and theTrentonian, and First Team All-Girl’s Basketball by the PrincetonPacket. Sepulveda, a 2005 graduate of Perth Amboy High School,was the school’s all-time leading scorer with 1,282 career points. Shemade 146 three-pointers in her career, and was named the MVP ofthe senior all-star game. “Amanda can really shoot the lights out,”said Harrison. “She is a competitive kid who will make everyonearound her better each day.”
Wisniewski, a 6’2” forward/center, was a four-year starter at VillaJoseph Marie, averaging 10 points, 10 rebounds, five assists andthree blocks per game, earning All-Academy League All-Star honorsas her team MVP. “Stephanie brings good size and ability. Sheshould be a solid presence in the post for us,” said Harrison. “She has
the potential to be a dominant force for Rider in the paint.”The schedule begins November 12 at home against Rice and also
includes non-conference home games against Penn, La Salle andUMBC. The non-conference road schedule includes Monmouth,Hofstra, Princeton, Towson and Army, which qualified for theNCAA Championship tournament in 2005-06, as well as a trip toStaten Island, New York for the Wagner Christmas Tournament, featur-ing Cornell, St. Bonaventure and the host Seahawks. “I like ourschedule,” said Harrison. “I think it is very doable. Nothing way overour heads, but very competitive. If we come into the season prepared,mentally as well as physically, we should be competitive in everygame.”
By “Going Big,” Harrison is expecting big Things from theBroncs in 2006-07.
