2009-10 NEC Baseball Scholar-Athlete of the Year: Jared Balbach, Sacred Heart Major: Business

Only weeks after pitching Sacred Heart into the 2010 NEC Championship Game, senior Jared Balbach (Pine Bush, NY/Pine Bush) captured the baseball Scholar-Athlete award. The veteran left-hander compiled a 9-3 record last season while sporting a 3.63 earned-run average that was fourth amongst league leaders. Balbach produced seven complete-game efforts in 14 starts on the way to logging the third-most innings (91.2) in the conference last season. Following his selection to the 2010 All-NEC First Team, Balbach continued his winning ways in the postseason. The senior southpaw went the distance, tossing 141 pitches, to notch an 8-3 victory over eventual-league champion Central Connecticut State at the 2010 NEC Tournament. Pitching best during the season’s stretch run, Balbach went 4-0 with a 1.85 ERA in his last six starts. Studying business, Balbach accounted for a 3.77 grade-point average.

Congratulations to the 2010 Team GPA Award Winner: Mount St. Mary’s (3.178) Northeast Conference Fans:

Welcome to the 2011 Northeast Conference Baseball Championship!

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the NEC looks forward to an exciting championship here at Dodd Stadium. We hope it is a memorable experience for fans and student-athletes alike. During the next three days, four talented teams will compete in a double-elimination tournament with the winner receiving a coveted spot in the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship tournament.

Consisting of 12 institutions of higher learning located throughout six states, the NEC is committed to providing opportunities for student-athletes to achieve their fullest potential both in athletic competition and in the classroom, as well as becoming an NCAA Division I leader for athletic success, academic achievement and integrity, sportsman- ship, equity and diversity, community partnership and national engagement. NEC member institutions include Central Connecticut State, Fairleigh Dickinson, Long Island, Monmouth, Mount St. Mary's, Quinnipiac, Robert Morris, Sacred Heart, St. Francis (NY), Saint Francis (PA) and Wagner. Bryant University will become a core member of the NEC in 2012 upon completion of the five-year NCAA Division I reclassification period.

NEC institutions span a number of diverse locations, from the urban bustle of Brooklyn, NY to the rural settings of Loretto, PA and Emmitsburg, MD, to the beaches and shoreline of West Long Branch, NJ. But when it comes to intercollegiate athletics, the goal of the NEC is consistent - to provide its members the opportunity to participate in quality competition at the Division I level while operating programs that are fully integrated in the academic mission of each institution. The NEC’s commitment to academic excellence has translated into national recognition for both individual student-athletes and the league’s member institutions as a whole. NEC student-athletes consis- tently graduate at well above the national average and its athletic programs continue to be honored for their Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and Academic Progress Rate (APR) figures. On a conference-wide level, more than 2,200 student-athletes qualified for the NEC Academic Honor Roll in 2009-10, a 13 percent increase from the previous year. Fairleigh Dickinson and Saint Francis (PA) posted the highest overall GPAs in the conference to share the NEC Institutional Academic Award.

On the field of play, the NEC has enjoyed many successes both regionally and nationally, competing in 23 NCAA championships each year. The future of the NEC looks even brighter with new facilities and improvements recently completed, under construction or in planning stages at a majority of the league’s member institutions.

We also would like to thank you, the fans, for your support and tremendous enthusiasm of the sport of baseball. Enjoy the action!

Sincerely,

Noreen Morris, Commissioner

Message To Spectators Northeast Conference member institutions value the principles of sportsmanship and the ideal of pursuing victory with honor in intercollegiate athletics. The Conference believes that athletics should be conducted in a way that reflects positively on the individual participants and institutions. The essential elements of sportsmanship and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept of character building and seven core principles: respect, responsibility, fairness, honesty, integrity, caring and civility. The highest potential of sports is achieved when competition reflects these seven principles.

The NEC has communicated this message through public service announcements that air on televised football and basketball games, public address announcements at all events and signage on each member campus. The Conference has also implemented a Team Sportsmanship Award program to recognize those teams and student-athletes who adhere to the principles of sportsman- ship and pursue victory with honor. Bryant, Monmouth and Saint Francis (PA) each finished the 2009-10 academic year with a league-high four sportsmanship awards, which are voted on by student-athletes and coaches following the conclusion of each athletic season.

In 2010-11, the NEC has continued its partnership with the NCAA on a "Respect" campaign to address sportsmanship and fan behavior issues through education, communication and enforcement when problems arise. NEC Baseball History NEC Single-Season Records
