We persevered through a pandemic and we could not have done it without the unwavering commitment from our Sport Management faculty and staff, the understanding and flexibility of our students, the guidance from Falk College and Syracuse University leadership, and the loyal support of our alumni and advisory council members.

Root, root, root for the home team! All materials from Hofstra University Archives and Long Island Studies, Hofstra Pride: Athletics at Hofstra University Women’s basketball team, 1936, note the name on the bus: Hofstra College was associated with NYU until 1939. Women’s championship basketball team, 1939-40. Helena Mroczkowska Dow, was not only an Olympic fencing champion, but she flew planes! A member of the class of 1940 she was involved in student government, but it was her fencing prowess that brought her to national attention. She was a member of a remarkable Olympic family; her husband fenced in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin and was captain of the 1948 US Olympic fencing team. Helena fenced in the 1948 Olympics in London and her son, Robert, fenced sabre in the 1972 Olympics in Munich. It is believed that they are the only “Mother-Father-Son” trio in any sport in US Olympic history. The wrestling squad of 1945-46 went undefeated although they didn’t organize as a team until two years later. In the 1950’s Hofstra played baseball games at Ebbets Field against St. John’s. The Dodgers left town after the 1957 season and the demolition of the stadium began in February of 1960. This photo from 1951. The first time cheerleaders organized at Hofstra was in 1947, this squad from 1952 wears traditional saddle shoes and Hofstra sweaters.

  • Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association
    OHIO HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION Dear OHSBCA Member, 1/20/11 Welcome to the 2011 OHSBCA State Coaches Clinic: “America’s Game”. The Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association has become the 2nd largest high school coaches’ association in the country. Coaches, national speakers, and vendors from all over the country feel that the Ohio High School Coaches Association Clinic is one of the best in the entire country. One of my favorite quotes comes from one of this year’s clinicians; John Cohen from Mississippi St. John speaks all over the country at not only big national conventions, but small ones too. He said, “Looking forward to seeing you at the clinic. You guys are first class and run an incredible clinic.” My hope is that you will feel the same after this weekend. I would also like to take time to welcome you to the Hyatt Regency, “Downtown Columbus”, and our home for the next few days. What an outstanding and first-class setting for one of the premiere high school coaches’ clinics. Please feel free to let any of the OHSBCA Board members or I know if we can personally help or assist you in any way this weekend while here at the clinic, or throughout the year. We, the board, wish to be the best representation of all our members’ coaches and their concerns. This weekend’s lineup consists of great speakers from all over the country.
