17 Conference Championships, 177 NCAA Qualifiers 9 2010-11 outlook

ith 13 returnees including seven starters returning for the 2010-11 season, Hofstra Head Wrestling Coach Lou Ruggirello WTom Shifflet will have no problem forgetting about a most trying season a year ago. The Pride, who basically had the same returnee and starter numbers as this season, had their season turned upside down when three starters were lost for the season in the first month due to injury or red-shirt, and a fourth was lost as the start of January.

But Shifflet is not one to dwell on the past but rather, look ahead to the potential that is the 2010-11 season. He’ll be armed with more experience, more depth, more talent and yes, more potential. “There’s not much you can do about last year except forget it and use it as motivation to work harder and get ready for the coming season,” Shifflet commented. While seven starters are returning, the Pride will have 12 returnees with starting experience plus a junior-transfer with starting experience as well. 133 The Pride roster is up six from last year’s meager 20 and fills the Senior Lou Ruggirello (Walden, NY), a three-time CAA key holes left from last season. Most importantly, six of those champion and NCAA qualifier, returns for his final season after returnees have been to the big stage of the NCAA Division I red-shirting last year. Ruggirello, who has posted three 30-win National Championships and will be looking for encores in 2010-11. seasons including a career-best 38-7 mark as a sophomore in 2007-08, will be looking to get to the All-American stand this 125 season. Senior Jeff Rotella (West Windsor, NJ), who wrestled 17 The 125-pound weight class was one of the divisions affected of his 24 matches at 133 pounds last year, is a three-year letter- by injury last season. Before the start of the season, sophomore winner and will back up the durable Ruggirello. “Lou took last Steve Bonanno (Wantagh, NY), who had 29 victories as a true year to do some extra work on some areas that needed some freshman, suffered a knee injury. When he returned in December, attention,” Shifflet said. “He’s done a tremendous job getting he suffered a season-ending elbow injury in his first match ready for this season. Lou is a great leader. He is feeling strong forcing freshman Jamie Franco (Monroe, NY) into the line-up. and confident and is excited about this season.” Bonanno, a 2009 CAA finalist and NCAA qualifier, returns to his starting role in 2010-11 but will be challenged by Franco, who 141 wrestled in 22 matches last season, and freshman Pete DeTore The 141-pound weight class is a division that provides much (East Moriches, NY), who placed sixth in the 2009 New York depth for 141 and gives several options for 149 and 157 as well. State High School Championships out of Westhampton Beach Three wrestlers competed at this weight last year with sophomore High School. “At 125, like some other weights as well, it is a Luke Vaith (Hastings, MN) wrestling in 26 matches before good change to have some depth this year,” Shifflet said. “Having dropping down to 133 pounds to close the season. Vaith, an All- Jamie and Pete, who are getting better, in the room to push Steve CAA Rookie Team selection with a 16-18 overall mark including will be a great thing. We look for big things from Steve this year.” a 13-13 record at 141, was a 133-pound finalist in the CAA, which qualified just one wrestler to the NCAA Championships. The Minnesota native will be challenged by several newcomers including Arizona State junior transfer Vince Varela (Rio Rancho, NM). Varela was 20-13 for the Sun Devils last season and placed Steve Bonanno sixth in the Pac-10 Championships. Look for junior Michael Doria (Massapequa, NY), a transfer from Nassau Community College, freshman Cody Ruggirello (Walden, NY), the New York State High Schools career victory record holder with 275 and a five-time New York State Championship top three finisher including a state title in 2007, and sophomore Daniel Manley (Dobbs Ferry, NY), a two-time all-sectional pick in high school who did not compete last season. “We have a great depth at 141 this year,” Shifflet commented. “Vince has a strong work-ethic, is disciplined and has been showing some great signs in the wrestling room. Luke will use this as motivation to challenge for the starting job. With the depth we have, we can move some guys around, if needed.”

10 2010-11 Hofstra Wrestling him some experience, either at 149 or 157. I believe you will see Justin Accordino some great wrestling out of him.” 157 The graduation of Jonny Bonilla-Bowman leaves the 157-pound weight class wide open. While the starter could come from the group at 149 pounds, sophomore Tyler Banks (Griswold, CT) and freshman Nick Terdick (East Northport, NY) will also be battling for the starting job as well. Banks wrestled in 30 matches last season at 141 and 149 pounds and posted an 11-19 record. Bumping up to 157 pounds this year may put this former three- time Connecticut State high school champion in the strong spot for the starting job. Terdick, who recorded a 141-10 scholastic record and was a two-time New York State place-winner as well as a freestyle champion at John Glenn High School, will also challenge at 157 and 165 pounds. “I’m pleased to have quality 149 wrestlers in Tyler, Zach and Nick at 157 pounds,” Shifflet said. “It When Justin Accordino (Wilkes-Barre, PA) suffered a season- will be a competitive weight class and I am sure they will battle ending knee injury in the first month of last season, after losing each other for time on the mat this season.” Bonanno and Ruggirello, Hofstra’s prospects took a turn for the worse. A NCAA qualifier and a third-place finisher in the CAA 165 Championships as a red-shirt freshman in 2008-09, Accordino Junior P.J. Gillespie (Long Beach, NY), a two-time NCAA posted a 25-13 record and just missed out on All-American qualifier, returns to his starting role at 165 pounds after a stellar honors by one victory. He will be challenged by red-shirt 31-15 mark and a runner-up spot at the CAA Championships freshman and Virginia transfer Zach Clemente (Troy, NY) and last year. The 2009 CAA Rookie of the Year and champion at two other newcomers sophomores Matt Spataro (Garfield, NJ) 149 pounds made the jump to 165 pounds last year and will be and freshman Jordan Colon (West Babylon, NY). Clemente, a looking to get to the All-American stand in 2011. Look for a two-time New York State high school champion, posted a 10-6 wrestler from 157 or 149 pounds to back up the durable Gillespie. record as a red-shirt with the Cavaliers of Virginia last season. “P.J. has made the commitment to move to the next level and has Spataro, a transfer from Western New England College, was a become a great team leader in the process,” Shifflet says. “His three-time county champion and a two-time New Jersey State hard-work and sacrifice will pay off for him.” Championship place-winner. Colon comes to Hofstra from West Babylon High School where he was an All-Suffolk County 174 selection. “Justin is another guy who has experience, has been to The 174-pound weight class does not have much depth but the NCAA Tournament and who we expect great things from,” does return a two-time NCAA qualifier and three-year starter Shifflet says. “Zach is very talented and I think we have to get in senior Ryan Patrovich (Bohemia, NY). The fifth-year senior was enjoying the best start to a season in his career last year before suffering a season-ending knee injury in early January. A P.J. Gillespie two-time NCAA qualifier at 165, Patrovich was well on his way to a third NCAA appearance with a 16-7 mark when his injury occurred. “Ryan is another of our guys who is coming back from an injury,” Shifflet said. “He has worked hard, putting in the extra time in rehab and on the mat to get ready for this season. He has experience on the national stage and, with continued hard-work and dedication, there is no reason why he can’t be on the All- American stand in March.” 184 Junior Ben Clymer (Germansville, PA), a two-year starter and an NCAA qualifier last season, returns to his starting role at 184 pounds in 2010-11. The CAA Championship runner-up posted a 24-9 record as a sophomore with 25 of his 33 results coming by decision. The consistent Clymer tied for the team-high with 16 dual match victories. Sophomore Pat Murphy (Nazareth, PA), who wrestled in six matches last year at 184 and 197 pounds,

do that they will continue to get better and make some breaks for themselves and get good results along the way.” 285 Sophomore Paul Snyder (Greensburg, PA) returns to his starting job at 285 pounds but will be challenged by a newcomer in Ryan Patrovich freshman Zeal McGrew (Glenville, NY). Snyder rebounded from a knee injury in 2008-09 to start 27 matches at 285 pounds as a red-shirt freshman last season. The All-CAA Rookie Team selection posted an 11-16 record last year including a 5-2 mark in the CAA. McGrew, a two-time New York State High School Championship place-winner, placed second in 2010 and third in 2009. He posted 133 victories in his three-year scholastic career at Burnt Hills Ballston Lake High School. “With the changes that Paul has made and the time that he has put in, we expect better results from him this year,” Shifflet commented. “He looks noticeably bigger and stronger and that’s because he has made the commitment to be better. Zeal will push Paul and, in the process, will get better for the future as well.”

returns to back-up Clymer after posting a 1-3 mark at 184 pounds Ben Clymer last season. “Ben has the ability to beat the best wrestlers in the country,” Shifflet said. “It’s just a question of Ben figuring a couple of things out. I think he has made the decision to be more disciplined, work harder and put the extra time in. I think he is on his way to the next level.” 197 The 197-pound weight class is another division that has been left wide open by the graduation of last year’s starter Anthony Tortora. This season, four wrestlers will fill the weight class with two freshmen having the upper hand for the starting job. True freshman Matt Loew (Wantagh, NY), a two-time New York State Championship runner-up and a two-time Fargo All-American, posted a 165-35 record a Wantagh High School. The three-time Junior Nationals All-American may be the leading contender heading into the season. Red-shirt freshman and Edinboro- transfer Tim Murphy (Nazareth, PA) comes to Hofstra after a 6-11 mark as a red-shirt with the Fighting Scots last year. The three-time Pennsylvania High School District XI winner will challenge Loew for the starting nod. Two sophomore newcomers, Marcus Furze (Simsbury, CT) and Matt Goldberg (Brooklyn, NY) will be looking for time in a reserve role this season. Furze was a Connecticut State champion in 2008 and was 75-6 during his final two seasons at Simsbury High School. Goldberg posted a 59-8 mark while at James Madison High School in Brooklyn. “There is no doubt that Matt or Tim will be in a tough weight class this season,” Shifflet said. “As freshmen, they will have to go out, be confident and wrestle hard for seven minutes.

ies to Dutch heritage and the Netherlands began with William TS. Hofstra, after whom the school is named and on whose property the University was started. William Hofstra died in 1932 and when his wife, Kate, died 16 months later, her will provided that their house, 15-acre estate, and bulk of her inheritance were to be used for a “public, charitable, benevolent, or scientific purpose” as a memorial to her husband.

The idea for a college came from Truesdel Peck Calkins, former Hempstead superintendent of schools, who was then with New York University. He suggested that NYU might offer extension courses on the Hofstra property. Hofstra opened in September 1935, as a two-year extension branch of NYU; its official name was “Nassau College – Hofstra Memorial of New York University at Hempstead, Long Island.” When the doors opened, the sole building on campus was Hofstra’s mansion, which he had affectionately named the Netherlands after his homeland, and all classes were held there. The mansion, which houses administrative offices, is now the center of Hofstra’s 240-acre campus, and has been renamed Hofstra Hall.

THE RAY DOWNEY, SR. MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP AND WRESTLING FUND

he Hofstra University wrestling program is proud to honor the memory of an American hero FDNY Deputy Chief Ray Downey with the Ray Downey Memorial Scholarship. TChief Downey, who served as Chief of Special Operations Command, lost his life heroically during the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

Ray Downey was appointed to the FDNY on April 7, 1962. In August 2001, he was placed in charge of all SOC (Special Operations Command) operations - Rescue, Squad, Haz Mat and Marine - and promoted to Deputy Chief. Chief Downey’s phenomenal 39-year career with the FDNY was built upon success after success and rescue after rescue. One of the most - if not the most decorated men in the Department, Chief Downey received five individual medals for valor and 16 unit citations.

A devoted family man who lived in Deer Park, New York, with his wife, Rosalie; father of five married children, Joseph, Marie, Chuck, Ray Jr. and Kathy; and adored grandfather of nine, Chief Downey was an avid fan of the sport of wrestling and supporter of the Hofstra wrestling program, where his sons Joe and Ray Jr. were outstanding athletes. Chief Downey loved wrestling, and he always attended their matches. He continued to support the Hofstra wrestling program long after his sons graduated.

After his passing, the Downey family, longtime supporters of Hofstra University and the Pride wrestling program, created a scholarship fund to honor Chief Downey’s memory. Funds contributed are used to endow scholarships in Chief Downey’s name and will provide financial assistance to the Hofstra University wrestling program. Chief Downey’s sons, Joseph, Chuck and Ray Jr., were successful athletes at Deer Park High School, and earned bachelor’s degrees from respected universities through athletic scholarship opportunities. Recipients of these funds will demonstrate the integrity, work ethic, discipline and courage that Deputy Chief Raymond Downey exemplified throughout his life. The 2010 recipient of the Ray Downey Scholarship Award was senior Anthony Tortora from Long Beach, New York.

The Ray Downey Sr. Memorial Scholarship Fund Day, which is scheduled for Wednesday, January 28 against Army, is a unique opportunity to honor Chief Downey’s memory as well as to support student- athletes.
