ABOUT THE NORTHEAST-10 CONFERENCE The Northeast-10 Conference is an NCAA Division II conference that was established in 1979, and began play the following year. The conference consists of 15 full time members, and one associate member and features institutions throughout the Northeast including , , , New York, and .

The institutions that make up the Northeast-10 include Adelphi University (Garden City, N.Y.), American International College (Springfield, Mass.), Assumption College (Worcester, Mass.), Bentley University (Waltham, Mass.), Franklin Pierce University (Rindge, N.H.), Le Moyne College (Syracuse, N.Y.), Merrimack College (North Andover, Mass.), University of New Haven (West Haven, Conn.), Pace University (Pleasantville, N.Y.), Saint Anselm College (Manchester, N.H.), Saint Michael’s College (Colchester, Vt.), College of Saint Rose (Albany, N.Y.), Southern Connecticut State University (New Ha- ven, Conn.), Southern New Hampshire University (Manchester, N.H.), and Stonehill College (Easton, Mass.). LIU Post (Brookville, N.Y.) is the associate member

The 15 member institutions are spread geographically from Syracuse, New York to Waltham, Massachusetts and Colchester, Vermont to Garden City, New York. Many of the members are located in or around the metropoli- tan areas of Albany, Boston, New Haven, Worcester, and New York City.

The Northeast-10 has evolved into a membership committed to competi- tive athletics programs that emphasize the education, both on and off the field, of its more than 6,500

The Bentley women’s basketball team completed a perfect 35-0 student-athletes season last year, and won their first-ever national title in the sport.

During the 2013-14 academic year, the NE-10 Conference had its most successful year ever, as threee teams won national titles: Adelphi University Women’s Lacrosse, Bentley University Women’s Basketball, and Southern New Hampshire Men’s Soccer all claimed titles, marking the first time in league history that three teams won a championship in the same school year.

Individual national titles were also won by two student-athletes from Southern Connecticut State University. Swimmer Raymond Cswerko won the 200-yard butterfly national title, while Nick Lebron won the heptathlon championship for the second time in his career. Adelphi’s women’s lacrosse team celebrates their 2014 national championship win in Salem, Virginia While the successes on the playing field were numerous, those in the classroom may have been even more impressive. In October, t the NCAA released its Academic Success Rate (ASR) information, and eight of the 15 NE-10 schools ranked in the top-30 nationally

All eight of the NE-10 schools in the top 30 achieved an ASR of 90% or better, while Saint Michael’s (98%); Stonehill (97%) and Bentley (95%) were

Southern New Hampshire’s men’s soccer won the 2013 national title all among the top-10 nationally. on a rain-soaked day in Evans, Georgia

Today’s NE-10 remains focused on complementing the academic integrity and missions of the member institutions with a commitment to a broad-based championship program, as evidenced by the 24 sports the Conference offers in champion- ship play.

Through the establishment and enforcement of regulations, the conference aims to encourage policies that enable intercolle- giate athletics programs to contribute to and be considered an integral part of the total educational offerings at our member institutions.

The Northeast-10 can look to a long history of success including the growth from seven original member institutions to more than double its size 30 years later, the contention for and winning of multiple national championships, and the recog- nition of student-athlete performances off the field and in the classroom. 2014 NE-10 Championship Lake Sunapee Country Club Hosted by Southern New Hampshire University Lake Sunapee Country Club is considered among the finest courses in the Northeast.

The course was designed by Donald Ross, the ‘Father of American Golf Course Architecture’, in the late 1920’s. Considered a Ross gem, the course routing reflects his design excellence: at Sunapee very little walking is required from one green to the next tee. And true to the Ross design philosophy, the “course can take care of every class of golfer”. Fair but challenging, each golf hole presents a different problem. One is never bored when confronted by the subtleties of a master such as Ross.

In recent years, Sunapee benefited from an extensive improvement plan that restored many of the original 1920’s features. Significant tree removal returned sweeping fairway and mountain views. Greens regained their expansive character. Long buried bunkers were unearthed. And the course now boasts four sets of tees per hole. The improvements are a sublime testament to the marriage of classic golf with contemporary play.

Outstanding easy to walk design, intriguing play and excellent maintenance are the hallmarks of golf at Lake Sunapee Country Club.
