A staple in the New York region and an emerging program on the nationalQuick stage, the Facts Manhattanville and College Athletic Contents Department continues to bolster its reputation as a program on the rise in all areas: athletic achievement, academic success and overall participation. More than 325 Valiant student-athletes (nearly 20 percent of the student body) took part in intercollegiate athletics during the 2010-11 school year showcasing the continued and rapid growth of athletics at Manhattanville. Following the successful integration of the men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track teams in 2008-09, the program has expanded to 21 intercollegiate teams – including seven new teams that have been established or re-established since 2007 alone. And teams at Manhattanville do not just compete, they win. Four teams earned conference regular-season or tournament championships in 2010-11 and three Valiant squads (women’s soccer, women’s hockey and men’s golf) appeared in the NCAA Tournament. 13 of 21 Valiant squads earned berths in their respective conference championships last year, including the eighth title in 12 seasons for the women’s hockey team and the second straight title for men’s golf. In addition, a pair of Manhattanville squads (men’s hockey and women’s hockey) spent much of the year nationally ranked while two more programs (men’s basketball and men’s golf) topped the list of teams receiving votes nationally in their respective polls over the course of the year. On an individual level, many Valiant student-athletes were honored in 2010-11 as well, including a pair of Freedom Conference Players of the Year and two Freedom Rookies of the Year to go with 32 combined All-Conference honorees. In the last 10 years, at least 35 former Valiants have gone on to play their sport professionally either domestically or overseas as well. But at Manhattanville, athletics is only one part of becoming a well- rounded student-athlete. In the classroom, Valiant athletes consistently achieve higher grade-point averages than the student body as a whole, Manhattanville Quick Facts: as evidenced by the 3.20 Athletic Department GPA for the Spring 2011 semester and the fact that all but four Valiant teams recorded a team • 21 Varsity Sports GPA of 3.000 or higher for the spring term. In addition, the department • Over 325 Student-Athletes boasted its fi rst CoSIDA Academic All-American in 27 years and a pair of • 7 Sports Added Since 2007 CoSIDA Academic All-District representatives, while the department also shattered its previous best with 114 student-athletes named Academic • 25 All-Americans (21 since 1999) All-Conference honorees. • Over 1,000 Service Hours Per Year Community service also continues to play a vital role in the student- athlete experience at Manhattanville, as each team performs hundreds • Cumulative Department GPA over 3.200 of community service hours each year. In addition to active involvement with many local sports teams and youth organizations both on and off campus, Valiant teams sponsor events such as the women’s basketball “Pink Zone” night and the women’s hockey “Think Pink” event to promote cancer awareness. As a result of these and other efforts, the school “To the valiant of heart, nothing is impossible.” was the recipient of two Jostens/NADIIIAA Community Service Awards in 2009, one of only 13 institutions honored and the only school to receive - Jeanne d’Albret two awards. The service aspect of the Valiant student-athlete experience plays a large role in helping Valiant athletes fulfi ll the college’s mission of educating students to be ethically and socially responsible leaders in a global community.

In addition to his role as head of the department, Levinthal also serves as head coach of Manhattanville’s nationally recognized men’s hockey program.

Levinthal has led the Valiant athletic program to unprecedented heights in recent years, as Manhattanville has collected 52 conference championships – 26 regular-season championships and 26 tournament titles – in the last eight seasons alone. In that span, the program has also produced 27 conference Players of the Year, 15 All-American selections and one National Player of the Year.

Manhattanville continued its recent string of very successful seasons in 2010-11, as 15 teams participated in conference postseason play and four squads won a conference regular-season or tournament title. The Valiant women’s soccer, women’s hockey and men’s golf teams won conference championships and advanced to the NCAA Tournament during the season, while the men’s basketball team achieved the fi rst D3Hoops.com national ranking in program history and the men’s golf team received votes in multiple national coaches polls for the fi rst time. Off the fi eld, a program- record 114 Valiant student-athletes were named to their respective conference Academic Honor Rolls as well, while the program also earned its fi rst CoSIDA/ Capital One Academic All-American selection in 27 years and a pair of CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-District honorees.

In 2007-08, Levinthal guided the Athletics Department as it transitioned from the Skyline Conference to the Freedom Conference and also reintroduced volleyball and cross country programs to the school. The Valiants saw immediate success in its new conference as two teams clinched Freedom Conference regular-season championships and three programs won conference tournaments in advancing to the NCAA Tournament. The women’s hockey team advanced to the program’s third National Championship game, while the women’s soccer team reached the NCAA Tournament for the fi rst time in program history.

Levinthal also led the Valiants to a record-breaking year in 2006-07, as six teams won conference championships and a program-record fi ve teams qualifi ed for the NCAA Tournament. His men’s hockey team spent 13 consecutive weeks as the top-ranked team in the nation and earned its fi rst-ever berth in the national semifi nals, while goaltender Andrew Gallant became the fi rst Manhattanville student-athlete to be named a National Player of the Year. Six coaches were named as conference Coach of the Year, while a program-best four Valiant student-athletes were also named CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District honorees. And, for the fi rst time ever, Valiant teams won more league championships than any other Skyline Conference team.

Levinthal saw immediate athletic success during his fi rst full year at the helm, as all 14 of Manhattanville’s athletic programs participated in postseason play during the 2003-04 year. Four teams earned bids to the ECAC postseason tournaments, while the women’s ice hockey program earned its third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. In 2004, Levinthal also received the honor of beginning a four-year term on the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey Rules Committee, serving as one of 13 overall members and one of just four from Division III institutions.

But in addition to athletic success, at the heart of every successful program lie sound resources for its lifeblood – its student-athletes. Therefore, Levinthal has made it a priority to provide the resources needed to create an environment in which Manhattanville student-athletes can achieve at the highest level in all areas: academically, socially and athletically.

A 1995 graduate of Hobart College, Levinthal is committed to developing all aspects of the athletics program. In his tenure at Manhattanville, Levinthal’s agenda has included:

Student-Athlete Development - Manhattanville continues to be on the cutting edge in the total development of its student-athletes. Valiant student- athletes have exhibited a strong presence and desire to serve the New York area. All varsity teams participate in outreach activities, positively impacting numerous area youth groups, hospitals, schools and agencies.

Professionalism - Under Levinthal’s guidance, Manhattanville athletics received a much-needed face-lift. With a new website, logo, team colors and method of business, he has streamlined and energized the department. The result has been increased exposure to Manhattanville student-athletes, improved performance both on and off the fi eld, and increased support from fans and alumni.

Exposure - Manhattanville Athletics continues to maintain a strong presence on national and regional media outlets. Levinthal has helped increase the program’s media opportunities as well as displaying the values of the Valiants constantly in the public eye. Assistant Director of Athletics Julene Fisher Seventh Year • Marymount ’02 Julene Fisher is in her seventh year as Assistant Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator, and her ninth year overall within the Manhattanville Athletic Department in 2011-12.

As Assistant Athletic Director, Fisher is responsible for assisting the athletic director in an administrative capacity. She handles the scheduling for all of Manhattanville’s 21 sports and also handles travel accommodations and assignment of the department’s student workers.

A former Assistant Sports Information Director at Manhattanville, Fisher also assists the Sports Information Department by serving as a statistician for home baseball games and select other home contests.

Fisher began her tenure at Manhattanville as an administrative assistant in the Manhattanville Development Offi ce before moving over to the Athletic Department.

Fisher graduated from Marymount College in 2002 as an English/Journalism major. She served as the editor-in-chief of Marymount’s student newspaper, The Cormont, and also was a four-year letterwinner in both swimming and softball at the school.

In television, she worked in conjunction with ABC News, the Discovery Channel and HBO to produce the hit series, “The Justice Files”, as well as HBO’s Emmy award winning documentary “In Memoriam: New York City, 9/11”. 2 2011-12 Manhattanville Men’s Golf Media Guide Manhattanville Coaching Staff Head Coach Nikhil Kumar Seventh Season • Manhattanville ’05 Former Valiant star Nikhil Kumar ‘05, MS ‘09 enters his seventh season as head coach of the highly successful Manhattanville men’s golf program in 2011-12, working closely with Director of Golf Operations Peter Norton to bring the program to new heights at the conference, regional and national levels.

As head coach of the golf team, Kumar works to help the players improve their mechanics and serves as a liaison to the team. In his role, Kumar is responsible for all aspects of the blossoming program, including scheduling, team organization, recruiting and on-course instruction. After winning the program’s first Freedom Conference title in 2010, Kumar and the Valiants reinforced that success with another very impressive season in 2010-11 that earned him a second straight Freedom Coach of the Year honor. Manhattanville had the best semster in program history in the fall, winning the 16-team Hamilton Invitational and shooting a program-record 295 at the Trinity (Conn.) Invitational. As a result, the team received votes in every GCAA Division III Coaches Poll during the fall, and began the spring semester just three votes short of a spot in the national rankings. The success continued in the spring, as the Valiants cruised to a second straight Freedom Conference Championship and NCAA Championship berth. Juan Ayala was named Freedom Player and Rookie of the Year to lead four All-Conference honorees, while Lem Randall was named to the GCAA PING All-Region team and both Randall and Mike Cresci were honored as Cleveland Golf/Sxiron All-America Scholars. Kumar’s tremendous recruiting efforts first came to fruition in 2009-10, as Manhattanville won the Freedom Conference Championship by 39 strokes and advanced to the NCAA Div. III Championship for the first time in program history. A program-record five Valiants were named to the All-Conference team, led by Cresci, a GCAA PING All-Region selection and Freedom Player of the Year, and Randall, the Freedom Newcomer of the Year. The honors marked the team’s fifth straight year with at least one All-Conference first-teamer. The Valiants recorded 10 top-five performances during the season and carded three of the top-five rounds in school history, including a program-record 297 on day one of the Freedom Conference Championships.

In 2008-09, his Valiant squad finished in the top-five of three different tournaments, including a third-place finish at the year-end Freedom Conference Championship. As a result of that showing, Cresci was named to the All-Conference first team. Under Kumar’s watch, the Valiants also hosted the first two-day tournament in program history to conclude the fall season.

During his third year at the helm, Manhattanville narrowly finished in second at the Freedom Conference Tournament and also placed in the top five at the ECAC Metro/Upstate New York Championships, Moravian Invitational, Hamilton Spring Invitational and Susquehanna Tournament. Ending another promising campaign, Javier Vargas and Jeff Herrick earned Co-Rookie of the Year and First Team All-Conference honors from the Freedom Conference.

Kumar’s success as a coach has come following one of the best four-year careers in Manhattanville golf history. He was a four-time All-Skyline Conference first-team selection on the golf course and helped the program to four consecutive Skyline Conference titles, shooting a 72 and earning Skyline Most Valuable Player honors as a sophomore. His career scoring average of 82.61 ranked him fifth in program history at the time of his graduation.

Kumar graduated from Manhattanville in 2005 and also received his master’s degree in Sport Business Management from the school in 2009.

Along with his work in the Athletic Department, Kumar also works full-time in Manhattanville’s Graduate Admissions Office as the Director of Admissions for the School of Graduate & Professional Studies. In his role with admissions, Kumar helped launch Manhattanville’s highly successful Sport Business Management graduate program. Assistant Coach Mike Bowers Second Season • Manhattanville ’10 After completing an excellent four-year career on the golf course for Manhattanville, Michael Bowers ’10 returns for his second season as an assistant coach with the Valiant men’s golf program in 2011-12.

In his first season assisting with the team, Bowers helped the Valiants to their second straight Freedom Conference Championship and a subsequent berth in the NCAA Div. III Championship.

Bowers was a four-year letterwinner for the Valiant men’s golf team, carding 55 rounds representing Manhattanville and posting eight top-20 finishes individually, and was named to the All-Freedom Conference first-team as a senior. For his career, Bowers posted a scoring average of 83.02 that leaves him 10th on the school’s all-time list.

Bowers helped Manhattanville to the best season in program history in his senior season, posting the sixth-lowest two-day score in school history (151) at the Freedom Conference Championship as the Valiants won their fifth conference title by an amazing 39 strokes. As a result, the Valiants reached the NCAA Championship for the first time in school history. As a senior, he averaged a career-best 80.3 strokes per round over 15 rounds.

Off campus, Bowers currently serves as a teaching professional at the Mitchell Spearman Golf Academy at Doral Arrowwood Golf Course in Rye Brook, where he works with adults and juniors under the tutelage of Mitchell Spearman, a Top 100 teacher according to Golf Magazine.

14 2011-12 Manhattanville Men’s Golf Media Guide Facilities Local Golf Courses The Manhattanville golf programs are blessed to compete in Westchester County, where there are no shortage of beautiful golf courses of which the Valiants can take advantage. While, Manhattanville does not call one specific course home, the team has many local courses, including the ones below, that the players can use for hone their skills both at daily practice rounds or when hosting annual tournaments. The closest course to home, Doral Arrowwood (top right), is only a few miles up Anderson Hill Road in neighboring Rye Brook. A spectacular nine-hole course designed by Robert von Hagge, the designer of the “Blue Monster” in Miami, its 3,200-yard, par-35 layout makes it one of the most difficult nine-hole courses in the country and a great challenge for the Valiant golfers. Located in nearby Rye, The Apawamis Club (top left) is one of the oldest clubs in the country dating back to 1890. Not a long course at 6,471 yards from the back tees, Ben Hogan once called it “the toughest short course I have ever played.” Its 18-hole, par-72 course features small greens and demands pin-point accuracy from its golfers, providing a great practice course for Manhattanville. Yet another local course is Hudson Hills Golf Course in Ossining (bottom right), one of Westchester County’s newest public golf courses. Stretching to 6,935 yards from the black tees, the par-71 layout hosted a 2009 USGA Men’s Publinks Qualifier and challenges golfers with its tight fairways. It also served as host of Manhattanville’s first-ever two-day tournament back in 2008. Overlooking the Long Island Sound, Hampshire Country Club (bottom left) served as host of the Manhattanville/NYU Invitational in 2009 and is located in nearby Mamaroneck. Built in 1927, the course features small and elevated greens as well as narrow, tree-line fairways. Combined with hilly terrain and plenty of water, Hampshire is a great place for Valiant golfers to test their skills. Kennedy Gymnasium Dedicated in October 1957 by the family of eventual United States President John F. Kennedy, Kennedy Gymnasium is the day-to-day home of the Manhattanville Department of Athletics and also serves as the home court for the Valiant men’s and women’s basketball and women’s volleyball programs. With balcony and ground-level seating for 1,000 spectators, Kennedy Gymna- sium gives the Manhattanville teams that play inside it a loud and imposing home- court advantage. With bleachers lining the near sideline of the court and a large balcony overhanging the bleachers, there is plenty of room for Valiant friends, family and fans to cheer on their favorite Manhattanville teams throughout the season. The main gymnasium also includes a new scoreboard, a brand-new scorer’s table, as well as phone and internet access that allows all Valiant games inside Kennedy Gym to be broadcast as either an audio or video stream. New lighting was recently installed in the gym as well in order to enhance the fan and player experience. In addition to the main gym, the Kennedy complex also houses a full-length swimming pool as well as the department’s strength & conditioning and sports medicine facilities, which are located on the ground floor of the building and are fully-staffed year round.

Kennedy Gym Facilities Kennedy Gym’s main attraction, a basketball and volleyball arena, is flanked by strength & conditioning, sports medicine, locker room and office facilities, as well and a full-length swimming pool and dance studio. All in-season sports have their own space inside Kennedy Gymnasium’s several locker rooms (one of which is pictured to the left), with each player allowed his or her own locker for the full season. Inside the fully-enclosed locker rooms, members of the coaching staff can address their team before, during and after games, while the rooms also serve as a perfect congregating spot for teams at any time throughout the season. The rest of the locker rooms inside Kennedy Gym include full shower and locker fa- cilities, as well as access to Manhattanville’s swimming pool, strength and conditioning facilities, and athletic training facilities, all of which are fully-staffed year round. As the day-to-day administrative home of the Manhattanville Athletic Department, the offices of almost all varsity head and assistant coaches at the school are also located within the Kennedy Gym walls, as are the offices of all Manhattanville athletics adminis- trators and support staff. Manhattanville’s athletic trophies and banners, highlighting the program’s best ac- complishments throughout the school’s distinguished athletic history, are also located inside the lobby and main arena of Kennedy Gymnasium. The gym also plays host to several camps and local recreational groups during the summer and throughout the school year.

2011-12 Manhattanville Men’s Golf Media Guide 15 Support Staff Strength & Conditioning Focused on the overall development of the student-athlete, the Manhattanville Strength & Conditioning staff maximizes the athletic performance of Valiant athletes by using the most effective and effi cient training techniques to compete injury free at the highest level of competition. The aim is to instill a sense of self-discipline, respect and responsibility to achieve the ultimate goal of a team championship.

Berman Student Center in the center of campus that includes a fi rst-class workout area for the general student population; as a result, Healthworks is now the exclusive strength and conditioning home of Valiant student-athletes.
