2004 HOFSTRA WOMEN’S SOCCER OUTLOOK
The Hofstra Women’s Soccer team is coming off its most memorable season two seasons and could fill either role this year. She scored four goals in 2002, in its brief 11-year history a year ago. The Pride finished with a 13-3-3 record, then moved to center back for most of last season, when she was a key part won the regular season Colonial Athletic Association championship (the first of one of the nation’s top defensive units. conference title of any kind for the program) and tied Utah for the fewest goals allowed in the nation with nine. Junior Ashley Shaban (Oakland, NJ) joined the Pride last season after one year at Rutgers and provided some offensive spark off the bench. She could For the Pride to approach last season’s success, though, it must replace five move into a starting line-up role this fall, particularly if Canle is used at center starters, including CAA Defensive Player of the Year Dolores Deasley and back. Incoming freshmen Larkin Hargraves (Deep River, CT) and Carol three of its four midfielders. Deasley and center midfielders Charity Schmitt Leurini (Whitman, MA) will also get the chance to contribute right away up and Elaine O’Connor formed the backbone of the 2003 team, and their front. leadership will be a challenge to replace this fall. Midfield However, Hofstra does return senior goalkeeper Becky Wachsberger, who finished third in the nation last year in goals against average (0.45 per game), Hofstra will need to completely revamp its midfield unit this season, as three of as well as its leading scorer in senior forward Elyse Bizzozzaro (eight goals, last season’s starters (Schmitt, O’Connor, Marisa Pistone) have graduated five assists). Seniors Emma Kilduff (four goals, two assists), Kristina Covelli, after earning all-Colonial Athletic Association honors. The lone returning Brigit Canle and Laura DelBiondo will help give the Pride an experienced starter, senior Emma Kilduff (County Kildare, Ireland), played an outside nucleus, while a talented incoming recruiting class should help make up for the midfield position last year, but will likely move into the center this year, giving loss of last season’s seniors. Forward Elyse Bizzozzaro (Manalapan, NJ) has been a regular starter at forward for the last three seasons and will be expected to carry much of the offensive burden this fall. She has scored eight goals in each of the last two seasons and is an outstanding finisher in the penalty area. Fellow senior Brigit Canle (Lynbrook, NY) has played forward and center back for the Pride over the last

the Pride an entirely different look across the midfield. Junior Amber Albrecht (Southbury, CT) started at center back, center midfield and forward last year, but could settle into her natural center midfield role this year. Kilduff and Albrecht are both exceptionally savvy midfielders with the ability to maneuver through traffic and generate offensive chances for their teammates.
Junior Chrissy Arnone (Merrick, NY) and sophomore Nina Nanavrakis (Rockville Centre, NY) are both back to give Hofstra some speed to utilize at the outside midfield positions. Arnone is a former walk-on who has seen her role increase greatly over her first two seasons and could be ready for significant playing time this year. Nanavrakis has had her first two seasons cut Elyse Bizzozzaro short by knee injuries, but is expected to be healthy for the start of the 2004 campaign.

Pride. Canle will miss the first six games of the 2004 season as part of an NCAA ruling which granted her a fifth season of eligibility, so Hofstra will have to fill both center back spots at the beginning of the year.
The Pride is in good shape at outside back, where sophomore Jacki Pollaro (Wayne, NJ) is back after sharing CAA Rookie of the Year honors last year. Seniors Kristina Covelli (Carlisle, Ontario) and Laura DelBiondo (Farmington, CT) shared the other outside back position last year and could do so again this fall, although one of them could move up to an outside midfield position as well. Sophomore Kimberly Kozlowski (Merrick, NY) also saw playing time last year at outside back, giving Hofstra a wealth of depth at the position.
In the middle, sophomore Bree Best (Queensland, Australia) returns after backing up Deasley and Canle last year. Best will be challenged by freshmen Kristine Suapengco (Dix Hills, NY) and Marie Curtin (Kilmallock, County Limerick, Ireland), who are both expected to contribute right away. Albrecht could also move back to the central defense if the Pride wishes to get more Amber Albrecht experience on the back line.
(Howell, NJ) and sophomore Marissa Palmieri (West Hills, NY) will also try to battle for playing time in the midfield. Defense The Pride’s defense was the backbone of its team last year, allowing only nine goals the entire season (two of which came on penalty kicks). Deasley’s graduation will force some adjustments, although Canle was able to solidify the center back position after playing forward her first year and a half with the
Becky Wachsberger
Goalkeeper Senior Becky Wachsberger (East Meadow, NY) had a spectacular season Jacki Pollaro last year, allowing only 0.45 goals per game, ranking her third in the nation in Division I. She tied a school record with 10 shutouts and improved her career record to 27-8-4 in her two seasons as a starter. Her leadership and quarterbacking ability as the last line of defense will be even more critical for Hofstra’s success this season, given its graduation losses from a year ago. Wachsberger will once again be backed up by sophomore Lydia Holmberg (Bayport, NY), while incoming freshmen Amy Ferriso (Copiague, NY) and Alex Steinberg (Bethpage, NY) will also look to contribute in their rookie seasons.

HOFSTRA HERITAGE
he history of athletics at Hofstra is as old as the University itself, and is steeped in the Dutch heritage that helps to make Hofstra such a unique Tschool. Hofstra has always had strong roots in tradition. Ties to Dutch heritage and the Netherlands began with William S. Hofstra, after whom the school is named and on whose property the University was started. When the doors opened in 1935, the sole building on campus was Hofstra’s mansion, which he had affectionately named the Netherlands after his homeland. The mansion, which houses administrative offices, is now the center of Hofstra’s 240-acre campus, and has been renamed Hofstra Hall.
Also adopted in this early stage of Hofstra’s history was the school alma mater, “The Netherlands.” The lyrics were written by a faculty member to the music of the Dutch national anthem by the 16th-century Dutch composer Valerius.
THE HOFSTRA FLAG The Hofstra storm flag is modeled after an actual Dutch geus, a privateer’s flag. In 1991 a representative of Holland’s Queen Beatrix presented the banner to then Hofstra President (now President Emeritus) James M. Shuart. The history of the flag dates back to 1572, when a group of Dutch loyalists called Watergeuzen used the flag’s mast to ram the gates of a Dutch city in their opposition to Spanish rule. While the Netherlands Royal Navy flies the original red, white and blue geus, the Hofstra version has been redesigned in the school colors of gold, white and blue.
The gold, white and blue Hofstra colors themselves spring from Dutch roots. The first official Hofstra flag appeared on April 19, 1940, when Dr. Alexander Loudon, an envoy for Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, presented his country’s flag to Hofstra in a special ceremony. However, the flag he presented was not the red, white and blue flag of the Netherlands, but the orange, white and blue banner of William of Nassau with a Hofstra emblem placed on the flag. The University has used the design ever since, although President Shuart, after researching the colors, replaced the orange hue with gold, making the flag truer to the original House of Nassau. The flag is one of Hofstra’s most recognizable symbols, utilized in publications, pins and souvenirs.
THE HOFSTRA SEAL Flying Dutchmen, Dutchmen, or Dutch. Recently, an additional nickname of The Hofstra seal, another easily recognizable emblem, was designed from the The Pride has become popular. We have not changed our nickname. We are royal Dutch emblem by art instructor Constant Van de Wall.

THE GORMAN MEMORIAL GATEWAY
Plans are underway to create a gateway and alumni complex that will surround the newly constructed Hofstra University Soccer Stadium. Included in the new complex will be The Gorman Memorial Gateway, named in honor of former Hofstra Soccer player Frank “Stormin” Gorman, who died tragically on January 5, 2003.
The plans include the Gorman Memorial Gateway at the entrance to the stadium, as well as a Hofstra Soccer Wall of Fame, alumni bleachers behind the east goal and a picnic area behind the alumni bleachers.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2005. Donors to the Gorman Memorial Gateway Fund will have their names inscribed on a plaque at the Gateway entrance to the Hofstra University Soccer Stadium.
For more information, please contact Mark Cox, associate athletic director for external affairs at (516) 463-6144.
