1 HEAD COACH CHUCK WINTERS From the beginning, Chuck Winters' association with lacrosse has been one big success story. So it's little wonder that his nine years as head coach at Cortland State have been marked with nine consecutive post-season bids and two national champion­ ships. A n ative of Rochester, N.Y., he attended Inrondequoit High School but did not take up lacrosse seriously until his collegiate days at Bowling Green University in Ohio. Winters played club lacrosse during the summer months in Rochester, however, once at Bowling Green, he became an ardent student and practitioner of the sport. By the time he graduated, Winters was named an All-American midfielder and a two-time All-Midwest performer for the Falcons. He played in the North-South game as a senior and received one of his greatest thrills when he returned in 1979 to coach the North team to a 21-15 victory in the annual all-star classic. Winters, who earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Bowling Green, came to Cortland State in 1971. He served as assistant lacrosse coach to Jack Emmer for two seasons before being named head coach in 1973. In his first year, Winters guided the Dragons to the USILA national championship. The Dragons lost to Hobart 14-10 in the NCAA s emi-finals the following year but avenged that loss in 1975 when Cortland won its second national title in three seasons. The Dragons have been in NCAA post-season play every year since and were runner-ups to Hobart in 1980 and 1981. The veteran Red Dragon mentor has posted 79 wins and 44 losses in his nine campaigns to become the most victorious lacrosse coach in Cortland State history. Winters is a member of the College's physical education faculty, the associate men's athletic director and is in charge of sc heduling for the 28 intercollegiate sports for men and women at Cortland State. In addition, he is presently serving appoint­ ments on the executive board of t he USILA, the NCAA Tournament Selection and NCAA All-American Selection Committees. Winters is also the NCAA Lacrosse Committee Secretary and Rules Interpreter. His past positions at C-State include assistant varisty soccer coach, junior varsity soccer coach, assistant varsity lacrosse coach and assistant varsity football coach. Extremely knowledgeable about lacrosse, Winters is often in demand at lacrosse clinics at the high school and collegiate levels. Chuck and his wife, Claudia, and their daughter, Kim, 5, reside in Homer. 2 POST-SEASON TOURNAMENTS IN PAST DECADE

3 ASSISTANT COACH LARRY "BUBBA" KING Bubba will again handle the extra-man and midfield coaching assignments for the Red Dragons in 1982. Now in his 9th year with the Cortland State lacrosse staff, Bubba donned the red and white himself for four seasons as both a goalie and an attackman. In 1969, King received the Alumni Award for the most improved player. A n ative of Huntington, N.Y., Bubba was head lacrosse coach at Dowling College in Oakdale, N.Y., for the 1974-75 sea­ son. He returned to Cortland State where he earned his master's degree. Bubba and his wife, Lynn, and their new baby boy reside in Groton, where he is an administrator at Homer Elementary School.

"B" TEAM HEAD COACH JERRY CASCIANI A native of Niagara Falls, Jerry begins his ninth campaign with the Red Dragon lacrosse program. He is an assistant professor at Cortland State, where he has been on the physical education faculty for the past 13 years. Jerry was an assistant varsity lacrosse coach for seven seasons, prior to taking over as "B" team head coach. Before coming to Cortland, he was the head lacrosse coach at Baltimore Junior College, where his 1967 squad went undefeated and captured the "unofficial" junior college national champ­ ionship. In addition to coaching lacrosse, Jerry is a linebacker coach on the varsity football staff and is a former assistant Red Dragon wrestling coach. He and his wife, Judith Lee, and their two children, Christopher 13, and Jennifer, 10, reside in Cortland.

ASSISTANT COACH PETE FALLON Pete is a new member to the Dragon coaching staff this season, although hardly a new face in Dragon lacrosse circles. A 1977 Cortland State grad, he captained the Dragon squad his senior year and played on the 1975 national championship team as a sophomore. The Beth- page, L.I., native served as the jayvee lacrosse coach at Homer High for a season and was assistant varsity coach there for three years. Pete also coached junior varsity football at Homer. He will be working with Bubba King in coaching the Red Dragon midfielders and offense during the '82 campaign. Pete is currently pursuing his master's degree in physical education at Cortland State. The 26-year old coach is single and resides in Homer. 4 STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, COLLEGE AT CORTLAND

Located atop one of th e many hills in central New York's "City of Seven •H Valleys", the State University College at Cortland was founded in 1868 as the Cortland Normal School. Over the decades, the campus expanded and in 1941, by an act of the legislature and the Board of Regents, the institution official­ ly bec ame a college, providing four-year courses leading to the bachelor's degree. In 1948, the state legislature incorpor­ ated Cortland College into the new State University of New York . Today, more than 5,600 undergrad­ uate and 600 graduate students are pur­ suing degrees within the College's two academic divisions — A rts and Sciences Brockway Hall on the Cortland State and Professional Studies. Twenty-three campus serves both as a residence hall departments with a faculty of more than and as the home of WSUC-FM, the 300 offer the Cortland State student body student-operated radio station. some 40 majors from which to choose, including liberal arts, elementary and secondary education, health and physical education, recreation education, speech Cortland State is particularly proud of education and speech & hearing handi­ its long tradition of intercollegiate athlet­ capped education. ics and its high standing in small college The College's main campus covers 140 athletic circles.

Don't worry, it's the kind of word that both players' mothers and avid Dragon fans not only approve of, but have come to expect from the Dragon stickmen. This not-so-forbidden term is "NCAA", as in post-season playoffs. An NCAA lacrosse tournament without Cortland State is like a day without sunshine, and there hasn't been a dark day for the powerhouse Dragon lax squad since Winters assumed the coaching reins in 1973. Two-time national champions and perennial post-season participants, Cortland State fell just one game short of capturing the NCAA Division III Championship in 1981. A 10-8 loss to nemesis Hobart marred Cortland's hopes for a third title in nine years. Winters is one prognosticator who has earned national acclaim and the veteran Dragon mentor is predicting another season of bright sunshine ahead in 1982. "Our chances of making the NCAA tournament are realistic," observed the soft-spoken Cortland coach, whose teams have compiled a 79-44 record at the College. "We should start the season ranked No. 2 behind Hobart. I'd like to say that our game with Hobart at home on May 8th will be for the top seed in the tournament." Leading the defensive charges will be two returning all-Americans, John Distler of Larchmont and Seth Ohanian from Stony Point. Distler, the team's captain, was an all-American two years ago, but missed most of last season after being injured against Ithaca in the fourth game. The All-American tandem of D istler and Ohanian will be teamed with junior Jeff Cox of Bright Waters to comprise the premier Division III close-defensive unit in the nation. Forming the midfield-defense will be Watertown sophomore Greg Hall, sophomore Jim Bauer of Manhasset, and junior Jim McKeen of Auburn. Top newcomers here include: freshmen Steve Smith of Kirkville and Richard Young of Fairport, as well as, sophomores Rod Demeo of Port Washington and Holtsville's Jerry Cushing. The mortar in the Dragon defensive wall comes in the form of diminutive all-American goaltender Jim Braun. The 5-6,155-pound Melville junior accumulated 209 saves during the Dragon's 11-5 campaign last season to bring his career mark to 352 stops. "Jim played very well for us in the goal last year," said Winters. "If he has a weakness he needs to improve this season, it's his clearing game. But he has shown his ability to stop the shots on goal." Cortland State's reserve netminder poses a physical contrast to Braun though no loss in talent. Freshman David J. Mooney, who stancjs at 6-4, 170 pounds, was an All-American high school lacrosse goaltender at Rochester's Irondequoit High School, the alma mater of Coach Winters. An influx of freshman speed merchants coupled with some talented returning veterans will provide the Dragons with their quickest midfield corps ever, Coach Winters believes. Fleet-footed Norris Taylor of H empstead will b e joined by V estal's Dave Cook, who was an all-conference football fullback last autumn. Another of the fast frosh, Tom Manning from Syracuse's Henninger High, will also see plenty of action. The returning midfield contingent includes: senior Mike Branski of Watertown, White Plains junior Paul Wilkinson — who makes the transition from attack, Dix Hills junior Gary Lovisa, senior Brendan Curran from Scarsdale and Lindenhurst junior John Cuiffo. Ohio State transfer Paul Jones, a Port Washington sophomore, and Pat Dugan, a high school all-American at North Rockland, would provide added depth. On attack, the Red Dragons must fill the void left by the graduation of Mark Koetzner last spring. The Massapequa native shattered the all-time career scoring mark during his four-year stint. The first-team all-American netted 95 points in '81 to boost his Cortland State career record to 225 tallies. Koetzner's departure means a change in the Dragon attack strategy for thy upcoming camapign, Winters noted. The leader of this revamped attack will be senior Bob Russo, who had 38 goals (1st last season) and 11 assists for 49 points, second only to Koetzner. The Brewster veteran will be getting help from Suffern sophomore Pete Meyer, who closed with 11 goals and seven assists in 1981. Coach Winters is expecting good things from high school all-American Mike Perkins, a product of Immaculate Heart Central H.S. in Watertown. Continued on Page 7 6 1982 SEASON OUTLOOK - From Page 6 Another newcomer, Dean Squired from East Syracuse, will team with returnees: Dave Benedetto, a Huntington senior who netted five points last season; Mamaroneck junior Dava Savoca, who also had five tallies in '81; and, Suffern junior Rob Robbins, who had three points last year. 1982 LACROSSE SCHEDULE Mar. 10 N.

19 CORTLAND STATE: CRADLE OF LACROSSE COACHING

John Hopkins may produce top-notch physicians and the University of Virginia some fine statesmen, but when it comes to graduating the most high school and collegiate lacrosse coaches in America today, no university or college can equal the prolific classrooms of Cortland State. In a sport with Empire State and Eastern Seaboard roots, this central New York campus has become the cradle of lacrosse coaching. Current Cortland State head lacrosse coach Chuck Winters, curious about the number of Red Dragon alumni he kept encountering in the coaching ranks, sent out an informal questionnaire to discover the extent of this Cortland lacrosse connection. More than 100 high school, junior and senior college lacrosse mentors, who earned their degrees and playing experience at Cortland State, responded to Winters' inquiry. This list, Winters admitted, is far from complete. "I believe that Cortland has more of its graduates coaching lacrosse at the college, junior college and high school levels than any other college or university in the country," stated Coach Winters, a nine-year veteran who perennially has led his teams into post-season play while winning two national championships. "There are three reasons for this," continued Winters. "One, there's the strong lacrosse program here. Secondly, there's the exceptional physical education major which we have maintained over the years. Lastly, because of the growth of l acrosse on Long Island, the high school lacrosse coaching opportunitites in New York State expanded far beyond those of other states. With Cortland producing many of the state's physical education instructors, there was a natural outlet for these talented Cortland lacrosse grads." The former Cortland stickmen have not only saturated the New York State high school lacrosse coaching ranks, but also have branched out to such places as the University of Notre Dame, Yale University, Johns Hopkins and the Colorado School of Mines. Red Dragon grads also have filled most coaching positions at various New York State colleges and universities, many of which are on the Red Dragon schedule. "I haven't lost to any of the kids that I have coached," Winters said with a smile. "But that's getting tougher and tougher each year." "I think this situation has helped recruiting," noted Winters. "Many high school coaches are Cortland grads and they recommend good ballplayers to us each year. Our alumni are very supportive of the lacrosse team, just as they were when they attended the school." Ten players on the 1982 Red Dragon lax roster are high school products of coaches who once donned the red and white of Cortland State. Has the domination of the lacrosse coaching ranks by C-State alumni reached its peak? "No, I think it'll continue to grow," replied Winters. "The only thing that could possibly stop it would be high schools dropping the sport of lacrosse."
