THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC CONFERENCES
The Middle Atlantic Conferences, regarded as one of the strongest NCAA
Division III basketball conferences in the nation, underwent considerable change in
the recent years.
In 1999, the presidents of the MAC colleges announced the league's reorganization into two eight-team conferences for most sports - the Freedom Conference and the
Commonwealth Conference. Both conferences operate under the umbrella of the
Middle Atlantic Conferences.
In basketball, both the winners of the Freedom and Commonwealth conferences
gain an automatic berth in the NCAA Division III National Tournament.
MAC operates under the leadership of an executive committee consisting of
college presidents from each conference.
The current MAC structuring is as follows:
FREEDOM CONFERENCE
Delaware Valley College
DeSales University
Drew University
FDU-Madison
King's College
Lycoming College
University of Scranton
Wilkes University
COMMONWEALTH CONFERENCE
Albright College

ABOUT KING’S COLLEGE
King's College is an independent, four-year, coeducational Catholic college with
more than 1,700 full-time and 600 part-time students. Founded by the Holy Cross Fathers
from the University of Notre Dame in 1946, King's prepares students for a purposeful life
with an education that integrates the human values inherent in a broadly-based curriculum.
King's was recognized as one of America's Best Colleges by U.S. News & World
Report, Barron's Best Buys in College Education, the John Templeton Foundation Honor
Roll for Character-Building Colleges, and The American Association of Colleges and
Universities Greater Expectations Initiative.
Its most prestigious recognition is as one of only 16 institutions nationwide to
participate in the Greater Expectations Initiative that will influence the curriculum development of schools nationwide. A new, innovative four-year program of career development
across the curriculum unites professional and faculty counselors to an intense advisement
process. The result is a 99% job or graduate school placement within six months of
graduation.
The college has a 15:1 student:faculty ratio. King's offers bachelor's degrees in 36
major programs; a graduate school with a five-year master's physician assistant program;
master's in education with a concentration in reading, and graduate courses in health care
administration, accounting, and finance; in business, humanities, social sciences, and natural
sciences and awards Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Associate in Arts, Associate in
Science, and Master of Science degrees.
King's 15-acre campus is located in a residential area near downtown Wilkes-Barre,
Pennsylvania, a medium-size city of more than 50,000 on the banks of the Susquehanna River
near the Pocono Mountains.

2005-06 KING’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW :
"King’s Looks To Defend Crown...."
The 2005-06 King's College men's basketball team will have a tough act to
follow after last season's squad enjoyed the most successful year in program history.
A year ago, the Monarchs posted a school-record 24-6 mark, won the MAC
Freedom Conference championship, and came within one victory of reaching the
NCAA Division III "Final Four".
The Monarchs will face the challenging task of replacing three veteran
starters, including point-guard Landon Gabriel, center Marty O'Hora, and allAmerican forward Brian Horgan.
While the Monarchs do have holes to fill, there are a number of experienced
players back who fifth-year head coach J.P. Andrejko feels will enable King's to
remain a highly-competitive team in the conference. Heading the list of veterans are
two returning starters - sophomore power forward Vince Scalzo and sophomore
guard Jamie Cousart.
The 6-4 Scalzo averaged 10.1 points and 4.9 rebounds per-game as a rookie,
shooting 55.2 (106-192) percent from the field and 78.7 (74-94) percent from the
foul line. The 6-3 Cousart, meanwhile, averaged 6.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.8
assists per-game. He has the ability to play both point-guard and shooting guard.
Returning players expected to step in and fill major roles include 6-3 senior
forward and team captain Thomas Moore, one of the most athletic and versatile
players on the team. Last year Moore came off the bench to average 5.7 points, 3.4
rebounds, and 1.8 assists. Another top returnee is 6-6, 220-pound sophomore center
John Soboleski who averaged 7.5 points and 4.2 rebounds.
Also returning is 6-3 sophomore guard-forward Jim Welsh, a solid longrange shooter who can also handle the ball. Welsh averaged 6.0 points per-game as
a key reserve and connected on 46 three-pointers, shooting 43.0 percent from
beyond the arc. The Monarchs also return another outstanding three-point shooter
in 5-11 sophomore Jared Black who is expected to see increased time this season.
Vince Sobocinski, a 6-3 guard-forward, saw limited action last year but
averaged a team-best 19.0 points during King's three-game summer trip to Ireland.
Junior Brendan O'Malley, a 6-1 guard, looks to make a bigger impact while
sophomore Nate Alcott, another 6-1 guard, moves up to the varsity after playing on
the jayvee team last year.
Experienced inside depth looms as the team's biggest question mark. Dan
Bowden, a 6-8 sophomore, and 6-5 junior Dave King saw limited time a year ago.
Adam Fedorko, a 6-7 senior, returns after missing last year due to a battle with
Crohn's Disease and must regain his timing, strength, and conditioning.
Newcomers looking to make an impact include 5-10 sophomore point-guard
Kofi Dwebeng, a transfer from Widener University where he played in 23 games
as a rookie. Dwebeng is expected to contribute immediately as he brings quickness
and savvy to the position.
Three freshmen guards adding depth in the backcourt include 5-11 Sean
Kelly, 6-0 Shawn Swim, and 6-1 Eric Krwawecz. In the paint, new players include
6-5 Ian Gilmartin and 6-8 Phillip Stroup.

The 2005-06 King's College men's basketball team will have a tough act to

While the Monarchs do have holes to fill, there are a number of experienced
players back who fifth-year head coach J.P. Andrejko feels will enable King's to
remain a highly-competitive team in the conference. Heading the list of veterans are
two returning starters - sophomore power forward Vince Scalzo and sophomore
guard Jamie Cousart.
The 6-4 Scalzo averaged 10.1 points and 4.9 rebounds per-game as a rookie,
shooting 55.2 (106-192) percent from the field and 78.7 (74-94) percent from the
foul line. The 6-3 Cousart, meanwhile, averaged 6.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.8
assists per-game. He has the ability to play both point-guard and shooting guard.
Returning players expected to step in and fill major roles include 6-3 senior
forward and team captain Thomas Moore, one of the most athletic and versatile
players on the team. Last year Moore came off the bench to average 5.7 points, 3.4
rebounds, and 1.8 assists. Another top returnee is 6-6, 220-pound sophomore center
John Soboleski who averaged 7.5 points and 4.2 rebounds.
Also returning is 6-3 sophomore guard-forward Jim Welsh, a solid longrange shooter who can also handle the ball. Welsh averaged 6.0 points per-game as
a key reserve and connected on 46 three-pointers, shooting 43.0 percent from
beyond the arc. The Monarchs also return another outstanding three-point shooter
in 5-11 sophomore Jared Black who is expected to see increased time this season.
Vince Sobocinski, a 6-3 guard-forward, saw limited action last year but
averaged a team-best 19.0 points during King's three-game summer trip to Ireland.
Junior Brendan O'Malley, a 6-1 guard, looks to make a bigger impact while
sophomore Nate Alcott, another 6-1 guard, moves up to the varsity after playing on
the jayvee team last year.
Experienced inside depth looms as the team's biggest question mark. Dan
Bowden, a 6-8 sophomore, and 6-5 junior Dave King saw limited time a year ago.
Adam Fedorko, a 6-7 senior, returns after missing last year due to a battle with
Crohn's Disease and must regain his timing, strength, and conditioning.
Newcomers looking to make an impact include 5-10 sophomore point-guard
Kofi Dwebeng, a transfer from Widener University where he played in 23 games
as a rookie. Dwebeng is expected to contribute immediately as he brings quickness
and savvy to the position.
Three freshmen guards adding depth in the backcourt include 5-11 Sean
Kelly, 6-0 Shawn Swim, and 6-1 Eric Krwawecz. In the paint, new players include
6-5 Ian Gilmartin and 6-8 Phillip Stroup.

World Tour, playing with the Washington Generals. He was inducted into the Plains
Hall of Fame in 1996 and the University of Scranton Wall of Fame in 1997.
Andrejko graduated from Scranton in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science
degree in marketing. He completed his Master's degree in School Counseling from
Scranton in 1991 and had been employed as a guidance counselor at Pocono
Mountain High School for 10 years prior to his arrival at King's.

ABOUT KING’S COLLEGE
King's College is an independent, four-year, coeducational Catholic college with
more than 1,700 full-time and 600 part-time students. Founded by the Holy Cross Fathers
from the University of Notre Dame in 1946, King's prepares students for a purposeful life
with an education that integrates the human values inherent in a broadly-based curriculum.
King's was recognized as one of America's Best Colleges by U.S. News & World
Report, Barron's Best Buys in College Education, the John Templeton Foundation Honor
Roll for Character-Building Colleges, and The American Association of Colleges and
Universities Greater Expectations Initiative.
Its most prestigious recognition is as one of only 16 institutions nationwide to
participate in the Greater Expectations Initiative that will influence the curriculum development of schools nationwide. A new, innovative four-year program of career development
across the curriculum unites professional and faculty counselors to an intense advisement
process. The result is a 99% job or graduate school placement within six months of
graduation.
The college has a 15:1 student:faculty ratio. King's offers bachelor's degrees in 36
major programs; a graduate school with a five-year master's physician assistant program;

THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC CONFERENCES
The Middle Atlantic Conferences, regarded as one of the strongest NCAA
Division III basketball conferences in the nation, underwent considerable change in
the recent years.
In 1999, the presidents of the MAC colleges announced the league's reorganization into two eight-team conferences for most sports - the Freedom Conference and the
Commonwealth Conference. Both conferences operate under the umbrella of the
Middle Atlantic Conferences.
In basketball, both the winners of the Freedom and Commonwealth conferences
gain an automatic berth in the NCAA Division III National Tournament.
MAC operates under the leadership of an executive committee consisting of
college presidents from each conference.
The current MAC structuring is as follows:
FREEDOM CONFERENCE
Delaware Valley College
DeSales University
Drew University
FDU-Madison
King's College
Lycoming College
University of Scranton
Wilkes University
COMMONWEALTH CONFERENCE
Albright College
Elizabethtown College
Juniata College
Lebanon Valley College
Messiah College
Moravian College
Susquehanna University
Widener University
