2009 <strong>Hartford</strong> <strong>Hawks</strong> Volleyball<br />

2009 <strong>Hartford</strong> Volleyball Preview<br />

The <strong>Hartford</strong> volleybalL TEAM<br />

team enters its fifth season under Coach Don Ferguson. The<br />

team will seek <strong>to</strong> continue its emergence as a force in the<br />

America East. “We have an experienced and well-tested<br />

group that has fought for and has earned respect from<br />

other programs,” said Ferguson. “We will look <strong>to</strong> continue<br />

our development throughout the non-conference schedule<br />

and prepare ourselves for what the America East has in<br />

s<strong>to</strong>re for us.”<br />

The experience of the team lies within the senior class.<br />

Senior Erin Macro, last season’s leading hitter, who ended<br />

the season second among point leaders in the conference,<br />

looks <strong>to</strong> have her best season yet and will continue <strong>to</strong> be<br />

a threat for the <strong>Hawks</strong> from the front row and service line.<br />

She is joined by senior Sarah Boss, the 2008 digs leader,<br />

who transitioned from the Libero position <strong>to</strong> a defense specialist<br />

role last season. Whether she serves as the defense<br />

specialist or the Libero this year, Boss should once again<br />

be among the team leaders in the dig category and help<br />

anchor the defense.<br />

Joining Macro and Boss for their final campaigns as <strong>Hawks</strong><br />

are outside hitters Maddison Molyneux and Hallie Fullagar.<br />

The duo finished second and third on the team in kills<br />

last season. Both Fullagar and Molyneux will be asked<br />

<strong>to</strong> continue <strong>to</strong> expand their roles this year and further<br />

develop their games.<br />

“I’m extremely proud of this senior group and the culture<br />

they have started <strong>to</strong> form within the volleyball program,”<br />

stated Ferguson. “They have all been dedicated <strong>to</strong> the<br />

betterment of the program and all have made great<br />

strides as students and as athletes. A lot of what happens<br />

this season will be determined by their ability <strong>to</strong> play ‘like<br />

seniors’ and guide their team in the right direction.”<br />

While Macro, Fullagar and Molyneux will lead the offense,<br />

they will continue <strong>to</strong> receive help from sophomore<br />

Michelle Cordell at the middle hitter and opposite side.<br />

Last season, Cordell was fourth on the team in kills. Her<br />

continued growth in the position should provide the <strong>Hawks</strong><br />

with another up-tempo attack from the middle position.<br />

Sophomores Lindsay Makowicki and Sydney Scott saw<br />

some shared time at the opposite position last season. This<br />

season, both are viewed as utility players who will be able<br />

<strong>to</strong> contribute from any of the offensive positions.<br />

Directing the offense falls <strong>to</strong> the steady hands of junior<br />

setter Lindsay Ford, who was among the league leaders in<br />

assists a year ago. Ford assisted on 882 kills last season<br />

and became an offensive threat in her own right from the<br />

service line with 18 aces, while adding 51 kills. “Our offense<br />

this year should be the product of a year’s worth of<br />

work by our hitters and setter,” continued Ferguson. “These<br />

young ladies have spent a great deal of time with one<br />

another and should know each others tendencies.”<br />

The addition of a hitting threat was essential for Ferguson,<br />

and that addition comes in the form of outside hitter<br />

Kami Nethersole. Nethersole comes <strong>to</strong> <strong>Hartford</strong> looking<br />

<strong>to</strong> make a name for herself immediately as a threat from


the outside. “Kami is an extremely talented athlete, with<br />

high leaping ability,” boasted Ferguson. “Her ability <strong>to</strong> hit<br />

multiple tempo shots should fit nicely in<strong>to</strong> the offense. As<br />

she develops in<strong>to</strong> the termina<strong>to</strong>r that we believe she can<br />

be, our team will become more formidable.”<br />

<strong>Hartford</strong>’s offensive ability is not strictly dictated <strong>to</strong> the<br />

hitters. Last season, the team was among the leaders in the<br />

America East in service aces and Ferguson expects that<br />

<strong>to</strong> carry on. Macro and Fullagar return as the leaders in<br />

that category and will look <strong>to</strong> continue where they left<br />

off. “We made a conscious effort last year <strong>to</strong> integrate<br />

a more aggressive style of serving and that has clearly<br />

worked <strong>to</strong> our advantage,” said Ferguson.<br />

2009 <strong>Hartford</strong> Volleyball Preview<br />

The difficult job of defensive intensity will also rest in the<br />

hands of Fullagar and Molyneux, who are both expected<br />

<strong>to</strong> remain through all six rotations. Both players have had<br />

steadily increasing numbers in the digs category and will be<br />

looked upon <strong>to</strong> shoulder more responsibility defensively.<br />

“Our defense has steadily become better over the last<br />

two years,” continued Ferguson. “The most notable aspect<br />

this fall should be a rise in our blocking ability. We have<br />

focused more on our blocking techniques and skills over<br />

the spring and should see an increase in our ability <strong>to</strong> slow<br />

other teams down.”<br />

Macro and Cordell return as the leaders in blocks and blocks<br />

per game. Macro led all players with 52 <strong>to</strong>tal blocks as a<br />

junior-10 solo blocks and 42 blocks assists. Cordell finished<br />

her rookie season with 48 blocks, leading the team with<br />

13 solo blocks and adding 35 block assists.<br />

“Although you never want <strong>to</strong> admit that you have been<br />

looking ahead in past years, this season is the one that the<br />

senior class and I have been focused on,” said Ferguson.<br />

“Many of our starters have experienced the joy of winning<br />

and the pains of losing. They have faced each obstacle in<br />

front of them as a united group.”<br />

“I believe their experiences over the past three seasons<br />

have put them in a unique position <strong>to</strong> pursue greater accomplishments.<br />

Our sophomores are showing greater maturity,<br />

our upperclassmen seem hungrier than ever and we<br />

have added a legitimate offensive threat in our freshman.<br />

I’m extremely excited <strong>to</strong> see how far this team can go this<br />

year and how far we can really push ourselves!”<br />

2009 <strong>Hartford</strong> <strong>Hawks</strong> Volleyball<br />

Defensively, Boss and sophomore Danielle Etta, the returning<br />

digs leaders, will lead the team. Boss led the <strong>Hawks</strong><br />

in overall digs with 288, just ahead of Etta, who finished<br />

her rookie season with 259. By the seasons end, Boss<br />

had switched <strong>to</strong> a defensive specialist and Etta <strong>to</strong>ok on<br />

the Libero mantle. Most likely this will continue for 2009.<br />

“We play a physically demanding type of defense and<br />

it requires mental stamina,” commented Ferguson. “Both<br />

Sarah and Dani have demonstrated their ability <strong>to</strong> excel<br />

in these positions and we will use them in ways that will<br />

benefit our program best.”<br />

<strong>Hartford</strong> and the Region<br />

<strong>Hartford</strong> and the Region<br />

It’s no wonder noted economist Richard Florida has ranked <strong>Hartford</strong> in the “Top<br />

20” of cool places <strong>to</strong> live, work, start a family and have fun.<br />

Professional Sports in Connecticut<br />

Connecticut has been the home <strong>to</strong> many professional or semi-professional sports<br />

teams or events. The only current professional team in Connecticut is the Connecticut<br />

Sun, a member of the Women’s National Basketball Association. The CT Sun are<br />

housed in the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT.<br />

England inns.


University of <strong>Hartford</strong><br />

Small Classes, Big Opportunity<br />

At the University of <strong>Hartford</strong>, classes are small, but the list of academic offerings is not. The<br />

University is a comprehensive, independent institution, offering educational and career programs<br />

in 89 undergraduate and 33 graduate areas of study in its seven schools and colleges.<br />

It prides itself on providing the intimacy of a liberal arts college with the creativity and intellectual<br />

excitement of a university.<br />

While the range of studies offered at the University is diverse, so, <strong>to</strong>o, are the people. Enrolled<br />

are 4,842 full-time undergraduates, 853 part-time undergraduates, and 1,671 graduate students,<br />

representing 45 states and 49 countries. The full-time student-<strong>to</strong>-faculty ratio is 14:1.<br />

Tradition<br />

The University of <strong>Hartford</strong> dates back <strong>to</strong> 1877, when the first of its original three schools was<br />

founded. The <strong>Hartford</strong> Art School (1877), Hillyer College (1879), and The Hartt School (1920)<br />

joined in 1957 <strong>to</strong> form the University of <strong>Hartford</strong>.<br />

The origins of the University can be traced back <strong>to</strong> the wife of Mark Twain. Mrs. Samuel Clemens,<br />

along with Harriett Beecher S<strong>to</strong>we of Uncle Tom’s Cabin fame, formed an art society that<br />

later became the <strong>Hartford</strong> Art School.<br />

Expansion<br />

The University has undertaken several ambitious building projects over the past half decade.<br />

A $34-million Integrated Science, Engineering, and Technology complex, which included major<br />

renovations <strong>to</strong> the adjacent Dana Hall (one of the original buildings on campus),<br />

opened in 2005. On its heels, new turf athletics fields brought a much different look <strong>to</strong><br />

the opposite end of campus, benefitting students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community<br />

residents.<br />

2009 <strong>Hartford</strong> <strong>Hawks</strong> Volleyball<br />

The new Renée Samuels Center opened in January 2007, providing the <strong>Hartford</strong> Art<br />

School with new space for its pho<strong>to</strong>graphy and media arts programs.<br />

In fall 2007, Hawk Hall, a five-s<strong>to</strong>ry residential facility for first-year students and its<br />

adjacent Alumni Plaza, a new outdoor gathering place for students, greeted students<br />

returning <strong>to</strong> campus.<br />

Now open just a mile from the University’s main campus, the Mort and Irma Handel<br />

Performing Arts Center houses five dance studios, four theatre rehearsal studios and<br />

two black box theatres. It is a vibrant center for dance and theatre instruction and<br />

performances at one of the key gateways <strong>to</strong> the city of <strong>Hartford</strong>.<br />

The University of <strong>Hartford</strong> also houses two public magnet schools on its campus—an elementary school for students from <strong>Hartford</strong> and several neighboring<br />

<strong>to</strong>wns and University High School of Science and Engineering, which saw its legacy class graduate this past June.<br />

Quality<br />

The University prides itself on its growing academic reputation, best illustrated by a consistent<br />

year-<strong>to</strong>-year increase in applications (more than 12,000 received annually) and selectivity (the<br />

University’s acceptance rate is lower than at any time in its his<strong>to</strong>ry). The educational experience<br />

takes place in small, supportive classroom environments.<br />

Location<br />

The charm of the suburbs and the opportunities of the city all come alive at the University of <strong>Hartford</strong>.<br />

Situated on a 340-acre, wooded, suburban campus, the University borders <strong>Hartford</strong>, West<br />

<strong>Hartford</strong>, and Bloomfield. Midway between Bos<strong>to</strong>n and New York City, down<strong>to</strong>wn <strong>Hartford</strong>, only<br />

five miles away, is gaining a name for itself.<br />

Campus Activities<br />

Numerous social, recreational, and entertainment alternatives exist for students on campus. More<br />

than 100 groups, clubs, and organizations, including campus media, student government, fraternities<br />

and sororities add <strong>to</strong> student life. The Campus Activities Team (CAT) is a student-run organization<br />

whose sole purpose is <strong>to</strong> schedule events for student enjoyment.<br />

The University of <strong>Hartford</strong> has gained a national reputation for the quality of cultural activities<br />

and fine-arts exhibits on its campus. The Hartt School and the Joseloff Gallery of the <strong>Hartford</strong> Art<br />

School are highly respected. Lincoln Theater, the Sports Center, and three audi<strong>to</strong>riums host numerous<br />

special events throughout the year.<br />

University President Walter Harrison<br />

Walter<br />

Harrison<br />

University<br />

President<br />

Growth, vitality, and service<br />

<strong>to</strong> the community are key attributes<br />

of Walter Harrison’s<br />

first 10 years as president of<br />

the University of <strong>Hartford</strong>.<br />

Since his appointment as<br />

the University of <strong>Hartford</strong>’s<br />

fifth president in 1998, the<br />

University has experienced<br />

a period of energy and momentum<br />

unmatched in its his<strong>to</strong>ry.<br />

President Harrison has<br />

overseen dramatic improvements<br />

in academic quality,<br />

finances, and fundraising.<br />

More than 7,300 students<br />

(5,600 undergraduates<br />

and 1,700 graduate<br />

students) study at the seven<br />

schools and colleges of the<br />

University of <strong>Hartford</strong>, which<br />

is classified as a doc<strong>to</strong>ral<br />

research–intensive university<br />

by the Carnegie Foundation<br />

for the Advancement of<br />

Teaching. The institution has seen a 15 percent increase in undergraduate<br />

enrollment, and a 23-percent increase in degrees awarded, over<br />

the past decade. A highly visible figure on campus, President Harrison<br />

is known for his enthusiasm for student life and University activities, and<br />

is fondly referred <strong>to</strong> as Walt by many students.<br />

During President Harrison’s tenure, the University has undertaken<br />

a vigorous and comprehensive building campaign. Many of the University’s<br />

residence halls have been renovated, and Hawk Hall, the University’s<br />

new five-s<strong>to</strong>ry, 208-bed residence for first-year students, was<br />

completed during the summer of 2007. The oval-shaped Alumni<br />

Plaza, constructed out of concrete of various colors and finishes,<br />

now provides students with a large gathering spot on the residential<br />

side of campus.<br />

At the heart of this construction campaign are three major<br />

new additions <strong>to</strong> the University’s signature academic programs:<br />

The Renée Samuels Center of the <strong>Hartford</strong> Art School (opened in<br />

January 2007), the Integrated Science, Engineering, and Technology<br />

Complex (opened in 2005), and the Mort and Irma Handel<br />

Performing Arts Center (opened in September 2008), which houses<br />

the Dance and Theatre divisions of The Hartt School. The Handel<br />

Center, located in the Upper Albany and Blue Hills neighborhoods<br />

of <strong>Hartford</strong>, one mile east of the University’s campus, also contains<br />

space for community activities.<br />

Two buildings have been renovated <strong>to</strong> house two of the University’s<br />

leading liberal arts programs: Psychology (East Hall) and<br />

Communications and Cinema Studies (Abrahms Hall). In 2006, the<br />

University opened new state-of-the-art athletic fields for soccer,<br />

lacrosse, softball, and baseball.<br />

The University’s vibrant relationship with the Greater <strong>Hartford</strong><br />

community is a hallmark of President Harrison’s tenure. The<br />

University has become a recognized leader in helping <strong>to</strong> improve<br />

public schools. It is the only private university in the country with<br />

two public magnet schools on campus—the University of <strong>Hartford</strong><br />

Magnet School and the University High School of Science and Engineering.<br />

President Harrison’s community involvement is extensive. He<br />

serves on the boards of direc<strong>to</strong>rs of the Connecticut Conference<br />

of Independent Colleges and the <strong>Hartford</strong> Consortium of Higher<br />

Education. He is currently the president of the board of the <strong>Hartford</strong><br />

Stage Company. He serves as trustee or direc<strong>to</strong>r of a number of other<br />

<strong>Hartford</strong>-area organizations, including the Greater <strong>Hartford</strong> Arts<br />

Council, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, the Connecticut<br />

Science Center, and Suffield Academy. He is also a direc<strong>to</strong>r of World-<br />

Business Capital, an international finance firm based in <strong>Hartford</strong>.<br />

Reflecting his longtime interest in intercollegiate athletics, President<br />

Harrison chairs the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s<br />

Committee on Academic Performance, the group charged with implementing<br />

academic reforms among the nation’s leading intercollegiate<br />

athletic programs, and serves on a number of other NCAA committees.<br />

He is the immediate past chair of the NCAA Executive Committee. He<br />

also serves on the Presidential Advisory Committee of the Association<br />

of Governing Boards.<br />

All this is a long way from President Harrison’s beginnings as a<br />

scholar of American literature and culture. A native of Pittsburgh, he<br />

graduated from Trinity College in <strong>Hartford</strong> in 1968, then earned a<br />

master’s degree from the University of Michigan in 1969. After an<br />

interim of three years <strong>to</strong> serve as a captain in the United States Air<br />

Force, President Harrison earned a doc<strong>to</strong>rate from the University of<br />

California–Davis. His doc<strong>to</strong>ral dissertation, “Out of Play: Baseball Fiction<br />

from Pulp <strong>to</strong> Art,” was one of the earliest scholarly treatments of<br />

baseball and its place in American life.<br />

In 1982 President Harrison left full-time teaching <strong>to</strong> take an administrative<br />

position at Colorado College. He joined Gehrung Associates<br />

University Relations Counselors in 1985, becoming president of<br />

the firm shortly thereafter. In 1989 President Harrison moved <strong>to</strong> the<br />

University of Michigan, where he became vice president of university<br />

relations and secretary of the university.<br />

President Harrison and his wife, Dianne, a scholar of 19th-century<br />

Vic<strong>to</strong>rian literature and mystery literature, make their home in Russell<br />

House, the president’s residence at the University of <strong>Hartford</strong>.


Patricia H.<br />

Meiser<br />

Sp e c i a l Assistant <strong>to</strong><br />

t h e President/<br />

Direc<strong>to</strong>r o f Athletics<br />

Pat Meiser, in her 17th<br />

year at the University of<br />

<strong>Hartford</strong>, serves as the<br />

direc<strong>to</strong>r of athletics and<br />

special assistant <strong>to</strong> the<br />

president.<br />

One of only 22<br />

women direc<strong>to</strong>r of athletics<br />

among the 329 institutions<br />

competing at the Division I<br />

level, Meiser has 38 years<br />

of experience in coaching<br />

and athletics administration.<br />

In June of 2009 she<br />

was named the Northeast<br />

Region I-AAA Under Armour<br />

Athletics Direc<strong>to</strong>r of<br />

the Year award for the<br />

second time (2006), and<br />

in May of 1999, she was<br />

named one of the nation’s<br />

<strong>to</strong>p 50 women’s sports<br />

executives by Street &<br />

Smith’s Sports Business<br />

Journal.<br />

At <strong>Hartford</strong>, Meiser heads a team that is responsible for growing<br />

the athletics and academic quality of the program, enhancing<br />

revenue and extending the program in<strong>to</strong> the community.<br />

In Meiser’s tenure, seven sports (women’s basketball, men’s soccer,<br />

women’s soccer, men’s golf, women’s golf, men’s tennis and women’s<br />

volleyball) have won America East Conference championships and<br />

either reached NCAA Division I <strong>to</strong>urnament or national postseason<br />

play. Basketball, in particular, has emerged with Meiser’s hiring of<br />

Jennifer Rizzotti and Dan Leibovitz. The women’s basketball team<br />

has been crowned America East Conference champion and reached<br />

the NCAA Tournament in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2008. The men’s<br />

team set a school record with 18 wins in 2007-08 and advanced <strong>to</strong><br />

the America East Championship finals for the first time in<br />

school his<strong>to</strong>ry.<br />

Revenue enhancement has also been an area of<br />

growth for <strong>Hartford</strong> under Meiser’s leadership. This<br />

has taken place through an expanded fund raising and<br />

alumni relations effort, development of a corporate<br />

sponsorship program, implementation of a licensing program<br />

and successful grant submissions. Most significantly,<br />

<strong>Hartford</strong> athletics embarked on a $10 million athletics<br />

capital campaign in April of 2003. The campaign,<br />

called Home Field Advantage, funded the renovation<br />

of the existing soccer and lacrosse field, the relocation<br />

and construction of a softball field, the construction of<br />

a baseball field and will include construction of a track<br />

surrounding an all-purpose field. The ground breaking<br />

for Home Field Advantage <strong>to</strong>ok place in April of 2005,<br />

and Phase I of the project was completed in 2007.<br />

Phase II is presently under way.<br />

Meiser’s commitment <strong>to</strong> academics is well documented<br />

and demonstrated through the success of her studentathletes.<br />

<strong>Hartford</strong> has been among the leaders in The<br />

America’s East’s Academic Cup standings each of the<br />

past 10 years. The <strong>Hawks</strong> won the Cup in 1996-97. This<br />

past academic year, the average student-athlete GPA<br />

was 2.98.<br />

Direc<strong>to</strong>r of Athletics Patricia H. Meiser<br />

Reaching out in the community is important for Meiser. She is past<br />

chair of the Greater <strong>Hartford</strong> Convention and Visi<strong>to</strong>rs Bureau and<br />

her appointment came at a critical time as the city opened a $350<br />

million convention center. Meiser was named a Connecticut “Woman<br />

of Merit” by the Girl Scouts in June 2000. She is a board member of<br />

both the Connecticut Special Olympics and the Connecticut Women’s<br />

Hall of Fame. In Oc<strong>to</strong>ber of 2007, Meiser served as Co-Chair of the<br />

CWHF Gala that celebrated the 35th anniversary of Title IX. The<br />

evening brought <strong>to</strong>gether the <strong>to</strong>p female Olympians and national<br />

champions with ties <strong>to</strong> the state of Connecticut.<br />

Meiser has also been involved with various intercollegiate committees<br />

and organizations at the conference, regional and national<br />

levels. She serves on the Executive Committee of NACDA and is a<br />

past President of the Division I-AAA Athletics Direc<strong>to</strong>rs Association<br />

(NACDA), has been a professional sport liaison, member of the soccer<br />

rules committee and active as a NCAA Certification representative.<br />

Over the years, she has also served a variety of roles in the America<br />

East Conference and is presently a member of the Executive Committee.<br />

Prior <strong>to</strong> joining the <strong>Hawks</strong>, Meiser was the associate athletics direc<strong>to</strong>r<br />

for administration and senior women’s administra<strong>to</strong>r at the University<br />

of Connecticut. During her 10 years at Connecticut, she played<br />

a pivotal role in the rejuvenation of the athletics program.<br />

Before arriving at Connecticut, Meiser was the head women’s<br />

basketball coach and a tenured faculty member at Penn State<br />

(1971-81). She gave the first women’s basketball scholarship at Penn<br />

State in 1974 and advanced the program <strong>to</strong> Top-20 status in the late<br />

1970s. In addition, she coached the Gold Medal-winning East team<br />

in the inaugural 1979 National Sports Festival.<br />

Meiser holds a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education<br />

(1969) from West Chester University and a M.Ed. in education<br />

(1971) and an MBA in business administration (1986) from Penn State.<br />

She is a native of Lancaster, PA, and has four children: Katherine, 36,<br />

wife of Jason Steadman of London; Chris<strong>to</strong>pher, 34, husband of Renee<br />

Reich Family Pavilion<br />

The University of <strong>Hartford</strong> honored the long-time<br />

commitment of Tom and Suzy Reich <strong>to</strong> the University’s<br />

Department of Athletics by naming the western portion<br />

of the sports center complex, “The Reich Family<br />

Pavilion.” The dedication ceremony was held in April<br />

2004. The Pavilion was dedicated <strong>to</strong> the memory of<br />

Barbara J. Reich.<br />

“Tom and Suzy have a wonderful track record of making<br />

a difference in the lives of our young people,” said<br />

University President Walter Harrison.<br />

In addition <strong>to</strong> a $2 million lead gift <strong>to</strong> the University’s<br />

“Home Field Advantage” Campaign (which supported<br />

the construction of the outdoor athletics complex), the<br />

Reich family’s record of giving has included money<br />

for scholarships, grants, and annual support <strong>to</strong> various<br />

programs in the Department of Athletics. The Reich Family Athletics<br />

Development Fund, established in memory of Tom’s late wife, Barbara,<br />

provides student-athletes from the University’s less highly profiled teams<br />

with scholarships. This past year, six student-athletes benefited from<br />

the Reich’s generosity.<br />

“Tom and Suzy also give in ways that can’t be measured financially -<br />

through their time, leadership, personal energy and support. They are<br />

our biggest fans,” said Direc<strong>to</strong>r of Athletics Patricia H. Meiser.<br />

Included in the Reich Family Pavilion is the 3,508-seat Chase Arena,<br />

home <strong>to</strong> the University’s men’s and women’s basketball teams.<br />

Both the Chase Arena and the Reich Family Pavilion are part of the<br />

bigger Sports Center, which opened in 1990. With the opening, the<br />

University of <strong>Hartford</strong> reached a miles<strong>to</strong>ne: the ability <strong>to</strong> provide a<br />

comprehensive athletics complex that not only showcases the University’s<br />

intercollegiate programs but also provides resources for the entire<br />

campus community.<br />

The Sports Center encompasses 130,000 square feet of space and<br />

provides a home for intercollegiate and intramural athletics, fitness and<br />

health-related activities, and recreation and socializing for students,<br />

faculty, staff, and alumni. About 5,000 individuals alone use the Sports<br />

Center for wellness alternatives.<br />

The Sports Center features an indoor swimming pool; courts for volleyball,<br />

badmin<strong>to</strong>n, squash, and racquetball; two multi-purpose rooms<br />

for intramural and recreational use, and two fitness and weight rooms.<br />

Six lighted tennis courts and an outdoor swimming pool are located<br />

behind the Sports Center, adjacent <strong>to</strong> the new outdoor athletics facility.<br />

The Sports Center also offers such amenities as a pro shop, meeting<br />

rooms, concession areas, saunas, locker rooms, and a study hall for<br />

student-athletes.<br />

The facility serves the community throughout the year by hosting numerous<br />

regional and national activities, including trade shows, high school<br />

graduations, dinners, and many other outside athletics events. Some 25<br />

external events take place each year and draw an estimated 100,000<br />

people <strong>to</strong> the campus.<br />

Located directly behind the Sports Center is a newly constructed outdoor<br />

athletics facility, which houses Al-Marzook Field (soccer, lacrosse)<br />

and the campus baseball and softball field. All three fields are turf<br />

Strength & Conditioning<br />

The <strong>Hartford</strong> <strong>Hawks</strong> strength and conditioning<br />

program is designed <strong>to</strong> develop<br />

the best gains, in the least amount of<br />

time, in the safest way possible. It is the<br />

goal of the staff <strong>to</strong> develop both the<br />

muscular and cardiovascular systems<br />

in a manner that is compatible with the<br />

demands of competing as a Division I<br />

student-athlete.<br />

The hands-on approach not only increases<br />

safety in the weight room, but<br />

augments results of each athlete. The<br />

commitment from the coaching staff is<br />

the single most determining fac<strong>to</strong>r which<br />

maximizes results both in- and off-season.<br />

The methods endorsed at <strong>Hartford</strong><br />

are based on research, physiological<br />

fact and years of experience. The<br />

college experience is a learning environment<br />

and the weight room is no different.<br />

The lessons that are learned in<br />

the weight room will be applicable <strong>to</strong><br />

life once your playing days are over at<br />

<strong>Hartford</strong>.<br />

The purpose of the <strong>Hartford</strong> <strong>Hawks</strong><br />

strength and conditioning program is<br />

<strong>to</strong> create a bigger, stronger, betterconditioned<br />

student-athlete that is less<br />

susceptible <strong>to</strong> injury.<br />
