America East Conference America East ... Since its modest beginning as a men’s basketballonly conference in 1979, America East has evolved into one of the most comprehensive NCAA Division I conferences with a commitment to broad-based, competitive athletics programs, complementing the academic integrity and missions of the member institutions. Each of the nine institutions - University at Albany, Binghamton University, Boston University, University of Hartford, University of Maine, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), University of New Hampshire, Stony Brook University, and University of Vermont - offers a unique blend of academic and athletic tradition. Progressive in its approach to its more than 3,500 student-athletes, America East recognizes champions in each of its 22 sports: men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. America East also conducts the nation’s most comprehensive academic recognition program for student-athletes. Nearly 1,700 student-athletes with grade-point averages of 3.0 or better were honored in 2004-05 alone. With a geographic footprint covering the Mid-Atlantic to Northeast regions of the United States, America East has a population base of more than 50 million people and nearly 30 million television homes. America East member institutions include more than 106,000 students on the nine campuses and boast nearly one million living alumni. Athletic Success... America East enters its 18th year of all-sports championship competition on the heels of one of the most successful seasons in history as five of its 10 team sport champions won at least one game in the NCAA Championship. Vermont advanced in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship with a 60-57 overtime win over Syracuse in the first round. In addition, America East sent two teams to the National Invitation Tournament. Of the nation’s 20 Division I-AA and I-AAA conferences, only five placed as many as three men’s basketball teams in the postseason. For only the second time in conference history, America East advanced five men’s and women’s basketball teams combined to the postseason. Boston University earned the highest national seeding for an America East team when it entered the NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Championship as the No. 3 seed. The Terriers also enjoyed a successful men’s soccer season, advancing to the second round. It marked the fourth-straight year the America East men’s soccer champion had won at least one game in the NCAA Championship. America East baseball champion Maine advanced to the NCAA Regional for the 14th time in school history, defeating Southern Mississippi while falling a game short of the championship round. The America East field hockey champion advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championship for the second time in three years. In addition, America East sent 42 student-athletes to the NCAA East Outdoor Track and Field Regional and saw two student-athletes compete at the both the NCAA Indoor Track and Field and Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Academic Success... America East institutions boasted six Academic AllAmericans in 2004-05 while another 37 were named All-District.

The conference also honored a top-scholar athlete in each of its 22 championship sports. Repeat winners from 2003-04 included Andy Allstadt of the Albany men’s cross country and track and field teams, Kim Corbitt of the Maine women’s basketball team, Jill Friedman of the Albany women’s golf team, Adam Grossman of the UMBC men’s track and field teams, David Hehn of the Vermont men’s basketball team, and Aaron Izaryk of the Maine baseball team. Nearly 1,700 of America East’s 3,500 student-athletes were named to the Academic Honor Roll after receiving grade-point averages of 3.0 or better. Included in that total were 753 student-athletes who earned a 3.5 or better. Vermont, whose student-athletes maintained a 3.14 grade-point average, won the 2004-05 America East Academic Cup, presented to the institution whose student-athletes post the highest grade-point averages during that academic year. America East in the Pros... Several America East athletes have extended their playing careers beyond the collegiate level. Former two-time America East Players of the Year Craig Claxton of the New Orleans Hornets, and Malik Rose of the New York Knicks, helped lead the San Antonio Spurs to a World Championship in 2003. Former Hartford star Vin Baker of Houston Rockets, continued the legacy of the late Reggie Lewis, when he was selected as an NBA All-Star. In addition, three-time America East Player of the Year Taylor Coppenrath and T.J. Sorrentine, each of whom graduated from Vermont in 2005, recently signed summer contracts with the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks, respectively. America East has also been well-represented in the WNBA as current Hartford head coach Jennifer Rizzotti and former America East Players of the Year Cindy Blodgett (Maine), Jamie Cassidy (Maine) and Katasha Artis have played in the top women’s professional league. Former Hartford star Jeff Bagwell of the Houston Astros became the 35th player in Major League history to hit 400 home runs when he homered in a game on July 20, 2003. Joe Nathan, who played at Stony Brook and is now a top reliever for the Minnesota Twins, was selected to the Major League All-Star game in both 2004 and 2005. Former America East Players of the Year Mark Sweeney (Maine) of the San

Diego Padres and Kevin Mench of the Texas Rangers, are joined by former all-conference player Carlos Pena of the Detroit Tigers, on 2005 Major League rosters. Jay Witasick of the San Diego Padres, who played at UMBC, is in his 10th season in the majors. Several other former America East players, including 11 draft choices from 2004-05, are presently in the minor leagues. Hartford’s Jerry Kelly, who won two PGA Tour events in 2002, joined the tour in 1996 after turning professional in 1989. Kelly, who has earned more than $2 million in each of the last three seasons, is joined by former Hawk golfers Tim Petrovic and Patrick Sheehan on the PGA Tour. America East also has a number of former men’s and women’s soccer and men’s lacrosse players in various professional leagues, including former Boston University standout Andrew Dorman, who is in his second season with the New England Revolution of the MLS. History... To see how far America East has progressed, consider the conference was established in 1979 as the ECAC North. The conference at that time consisted of 10 institutions and sponsored league competition only in men’s basketball, with the champion receiving an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship. Men’s basketball remained the lone league sport until the 1988-89 academic year. At that time, the conference’s Board of Directors made a new commitment to an all-sports association, creating the North Atlantic Conference by establishing an office, hiring a full-time commissioner, and embarking on a building program. The North Atlantic Conference merged with the Seaboard Conference (the league in which Boston University, Hartford, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, among others, competed in women’s basketball) in 1989 and the NAC looked to establish conference championships in several men’s and women’s sports. The conference changed its name to America East prior to the 1996-97 academic year and moved the conference headquarters to its present location in downtown Boston in 1997. In 2005, America East hired Patrick Nero, most recently the Director of Athletics at Maine, as the conference’s third commissioner.
