2007-08 NEC Women’s Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year: Lindsey Snyder, Central State Major: Elementary Education

Central Connecticut State senior Lindsey Snyder (Winterport, ME/Bangor) claimed NEC Scholar-Athlete accolades in women’s swimming for the second year in a row. A two-time team captain, she was named the Outstanding Swimmer at the 2008 NEC Championship in February after sparking the Blue Devils to their second NEC title. Snyder won her fourth consecutive 200 backstroke title in a conference record-breaking time of 2:01.43. She set another meet record in winning the 100 backstroke (57.02) for the third time and captured the 200 individual medley (2:07.04). In total, the Winterport, ME product won eight NEC individual championships over the course of her career. Snyder would go on to win the 100 backstroke (56.96) at the ECAC Championships for the second time, and finished third in both the 200 backstroke and 200 individual medley to total a team-best 52 points and lead CCSU to its first-ever ECAC crown. Over the course of the season, she broke three school records (100 back, 200 back, 200 IM). A two-time College Swim Coaches of America Association Academic All-America, Snyder was an Elementary Education major maintaining a 3.82 grade point average.

Congratulations to the 2007-08 NEC Women’s Swimming & Diving Team GPA Award Winner: Wagner (3.334) Fans:

Welcome to the 2008-09 Northeast Conference Women’s Swimming and Diving Championship!

The NEC hopes to make this event a memorable experience for student-athletes and fans alike. With Yale’s historic Payne Whitney Gym providing the venue, this championship should be an exciting one with seven hard-working, talented teams vying for the NEC crown.

Now in its 28th season, the NEC is proud to bring its swimming and diving championship to New Haven, CT. Consisting of 11 institutions of higher learning located throughout five states, the NEC is committed to being an NCAA Division I leader for student-athlete achievement, integrity, com- petitiveness and engagement in national policy. NEC member institutions include Central Con- necticut State, Fairleigh Dickinson, Long Island, Monmouth, Mount St. Mary's, Quinnipiac, Rob- ert Morris, Sacred Heart, St. Francis (NY), Saint Francis (PA) and Wagner. Additionally, will become a core member of the NEC in 2012 upon completion of the five-year NCAA Division I reclassification period.

The NEC encompasses five states and a variety of diverse locations, from the bustling activity of Brooklyn, NY to the rural setting of Loretto, PA to the beaches and shoreline of West Long Branch, NJ. But when it comes to intercollegiate athletics, the goal of the NEC is consistent - to provide its members the opportunity to participate in quality competition at the Division I level while operating programs that are fully integrated in the academic mission of each institution. NEC athletic programs truly focus on putting the student in the term student-athlete. The NEC placed among the top NCAA Division I conferences with the release of the first Academic Progress Rate (APR) figures and also ranked among the nation's elite in Graduation Success Rate (GSR) figures in each of the last two years. During the 2007-08 academic year, more than 1,600 student-athletes earned a place on the NEC Academic Honor Roll, an astounding 47 percent increase from the previous year, while 258 were named to the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll with GPAs of 3.75 or higher. NEC graduation rates for student-athletes are consistently higher than those of non-athletes.

On the field of play, the NEC has enjoyed many successes both regionally and nationally, competing in 20 NCAA championships each year. In swimming, Central Connecticut State won the 2008 ECAC Championships, and the league has featured a number of Academic All-Americans in the sport. The future of the NEC looks even brighter with new facilities and improvements recently completed, under construction or in planning stages at more than half of the league's member institutions.

We also would like to thank you, the fans, for your support and tremendous enthusiasm of the sport of women’s swimming and diving. Enjoy the action!

Sincerely,

Brenda Weare, Commissioner

Message To Spectators

The Northeast Conference promotes good sportsmanship by student-athletes, coaches and spectators. We request your cooperation by supporting the partici- pants and officials in a positive manner. NEC member institutions value the principles of sportsmanship and the ideal of pursuing victory with honor in intercollegiate athletics. The Conference believes that athletics should be conducted in a way that reflects positively on the indi- vidual participants and institutions. The essential elements of sportsmanship and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept of character building and seven core principles: respect, responsibility, fairness, honesty, integrity, caring and civility. The highest potential of sports is achieved when competition reflects these seven principles. NEC Women’s Swimming and Diving History Records Category Performer (School) Record Year 50 yd.
