The surroundings are rural and lush, consisting of rolling terrain, gentle hills, wooded glens, dairy farms, fine old houses and tree-lined streets. Yet Hamilton’s location puts it within easy range of New York, Toronto, Boston and other major northern metropolitan centers. The College, chartered in 1812, is coeducational with approximately 1,800 students. Its strength lies in highly regarded academic programs administered by a deeply committed faculty who welcome close collaboration with students. Fundamental to a Hamilton education is the faculty’s expectation that each student develops the ability to read, observe and listen with critical perception, and to think, write and speak with clarity, understanding and precision. Hamilton graduates can be found making important contributions in nearly every professional field, and because of the College’s educational contributions to their success, alumni remain enthusiastically loyal to and supportive of the College. As reflected in applications for admission, Hamilton is considered one of the most selective liberal arts colleges in the country. And, because of the large number of applications that the College receives each year, the student body is unusually diverse. Students come to Hamilton from all parts of the United States — indeed, from all parts of the globe. In such an environment, students learn to appreciate differences and prepare for life in an increasingly global society. In evaluating prospective students, the admission committee looks for academic achievement as well as personal accomplishments outside the classroom. Thus, both the athlete who excels on the playing field and the musician who participates in a community ensemble have the talents the College is seeking. 4 Hamilton Basketball ‘13-’14 Coaching Staff Adam Stockwell Head Coach Adam Stockwell is in his third season as the head men’s basketball coach at Hamilton College.

The conference was created out of a concern for the direction of intercollegiate athletic programs, and remains committed to keeping a proper perspective on the role of sport in higher education. The formation of NESCAC originated with an agreement among Amherst College, Bowdoin College, Wesleyan University and Williams College first drafted in 1955. Along with these four institutions, Bates College, Colby College, Hamilton College, Middlebury College, Trinity College and Tufts University are sustaining charter members. Connecticut College joined in 1982, bringing the conference’s membership to its current total of 11 institutions. NESCAC members believe intercollegiate athletic programs should operate in harmony with the educational mission of each institution. The conference is committed to establishing common boundaries to keep athletics strong but in proportion to the overall academic mission of the member institutions. In pursuit of this mission, the presidents of each NESCAC institution control intercollegiate athletic policy. Conference tenets are usually more restrictive than those of the rest of NCAA Division III with regard to season length, number of contests and post-season competition. NESCAC institutions also believe athletic teams should be representative of the entire student body. Admissions and financial policies are consistent with the NCAA Division III policies that prohibit athletic scholarships and award financial aid solely on the basis of need. In 1999, the NESCAC formally became a playing conference and now sponsors 26 conference championship sports (13 for men and 13 for women). Member schools offer extensive and broad based intercollegiate as well as club and intramural opportunities for both men and women. With member institutions sponsoring an average of nearly 30 varsity programs, NESCAC provides more than 7,500 opportunities for participation in intercollegiate competition at the Division III level. During the 2012-13 academic year, 52 teams participated in NCAA team championships. NESCAC studentathletes claimed nine individual national championships and NESCAC teams won seven national team championships.

The diversity and quality of these facilities emphasize the school’s commitment to the development of both the mind and the body. The Margaret Bundy Scott Field House, a 55,000-square-foot multipurpose athletic structure, contains three regulation-size basketball/volleyball courts and seats 2,200 spectators. The field house has hosted a number of NCAA Division III men’s basketball tournament games and five Liberty League men’s basketball championships. The field house houses a six-lane, 200-meter running track and indoor courts for tennis and racquetball. A state-of-the-art Mondo FX surface was installed in 2010, and can accommodate practice for outdoor varsity sports during inclement weather. The field house was dedicated on Nov. 30, 1984, and was named after the daughter of Harlow Bundy, Class of 1877. Outdoor facilities on campus include Steuben Field for football and lacrosse; the natural grass William D. Love Field used for men’s and women’s soccer; the Walter H. Pritchard Track; the artificial turf Campus Road Athletic Field for field hockey; the Royce Baseball Field; the Ferguson Intramural Softball Field and the nine-hole Tompkins Golf Course. The Russell Sage Rink, the William M. Bristol, Jr. Pool and the Little Squash Center are the indoor facilities. The $6.1 million squash facility opened in October 2006 with 10 regulation-size courts, including two with exhibition gallery seating. The Charlean and Wayland Blood Fitness and Dance Center opened in October 2006. The center houses a dance studio, room for aerobic/cardio training, space for resistance and weight-training, a multipurpose exercise room and a three-story climbing wall. The state-of-the-art facility triples the current space for fitness activities on a campus where approximately 75 percent of the student body -- and many members of the faculty and staff -- work out regularly. The Blood Fitness and Dance Center is a 30,000 square-foot facility with 9,600 square feet used for fitness and weightlifting. Precor cardio equipment is featured in the fitness area. The equipment includes elliptical machines, treadmills and stationary bicycles. The weight training equipment is by Cybex and includes power lift, hammer strength and positrac. Sports Medicine at Hamilton College The Hamilton College sports medicine staff provides excellent medical care for all Continental athletes. The fully-equipped sports medicine clinic is located in Margaret Bundy Scott Field House and is convenient to all team locker rooms. The clinic moved to a 3,400 square-foot, $1 million renovated area in September 2006. The new clinic is four times larger than the old space and features a state-of-the-art rehabilitation center. The program is under the direction of head certified athletic trainer Scott Siddon. Siddon has been a part of Hamilton’s staff since 1996. He graduated with a degree from SUNY Cortland in 1992. Siddon went on to earn his master’s from the University of Oregon in 1994. Assistant certified athletic trainer Pat Giruzzi joined the Hamilton staff in 1999. Giruzzi received his degree from Elmira College in 1998. Pat became a Registered Orthopedic Technologist (ROT) in 2007. Stephanie Kowell has been a member of the Continentals’ staff since 2011 and has been a certified athletic trainer since 2008. Kowell received her degree in physical education with an From left to right: Kara McKeag, Scott Siddon, Pat Giruzzi emphasis in athletic training from SUNY Brockport in 2008, and and Stephanie Kowell earned her master’s in education from Old Dominion University in 2010. She most recently worked at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and hails from the Syarcuse area. Kara McKeag joined Hamilton’s training staff in 2011. McKeag received a degree in athletic training from Springfield College in 2009 and her master’s from East Stroudsburg University. She has athletic training experience at Lehigh University and most recently served an internship at The Ohio State University. In addition to the full-time training staff, a dedicated group of student first responders assist in the daily operations of the athletic training facility. The sports medicine clinic is open from noon to 8 p.m. and other times by appointment on weekdays, and opens according to game and practice schedules on weekends. 14 Hamilton Basketball ‘13-’14
