Season Outlook
The Long Island University men’s soccer team heads into the 2008
season with a renewed focus and a simple approach to the season
ahead – take it one day at a time. Head coach TJ Kostecky and his
staff are optimistic that this simplified approach will lead to improved
results this season.
Peter Huijgen
“We have tried to make everything about focusing on today and
getting better each day,” Kostecky said. “We don’t want to look too far
ahead and stress the importance of making an improvement each time
we step onto the field.”
Kostecky has added Rhett Goldsmith and Rich Scheer to the coaching
staff to aid in the new philosophy. The pair brings a wealth of
experience and fresh views to the program. Goldsmith joins LIU after
a wildly successful stint as associate head coach at Division III power
Stevens Tech. Scheer had an accomplished collegiate playing career
and has served in a variety of capacities throughout the sport.
“They have brought a wealth of new ideas and passion to the program,”
Kostecky said. “Both have an understanding of what it takes to be
part of a successful program and that will only benefit our studentathletes.”
With a group of four seniors back and several players returning to
health from injuries suffered during the past, Kostecky’s squad has
a solid foundation upon which to build. The addition of several
newcomers should benefit the overall talent and depth of the current
squad as it competes in the Northeast Conference. The newcomers
have experienced postseason success with their teams last year, while several of the freshmen are part of the LIU Honors Program.
“It is almost an entirely new team and with that comes a new attitude,” Kostecky said. “We have the talent and ability to be successful, but in
order to attain our goals the entire squad has to take on a team-first mentality. Our success in the classroom has carried over to help improve
the quality of play.”
2008 Long Island University Men’s Soccer
Jukka Lehto
Offensively the Blackbirds struggled with consistency last year. LIU
showed its explosive potential in a 7-3 win over St. Francis (N.Y.),
but was left searching for the decisive goal on several other occasions.
Kostecky feels that the team is strongest playing on the ball and
maintaining possession, but must translate those opportunities into
goals.
“We have the ability to score, but we just need to do that consistently,”
Kostecky said. “We expect to be better this year as we control the flow
of the games and get chances to finish in front of goal.”
Long Island returns a deep group of players that will share the
scoring load this season led by seniors Jukka Lehto and Mohammad
Mashriqi. Lehto led the team in scoring last year and played in 15
contests. His work-rate up front should help raise the level of play
from the rest of the team.
Mashriqi has been a fixture in the midfield during his three years at
LIU. Last season he recorded a pair of assists and will again look to get
the rest of the offense involved.
The Blackbirds’ attack options will be bolstered by seniors Peter
Huijgen and Ryan Vignona. Huijgen scored a pair of game-winning
goals and can play a variety of positions in the attack for LIU. Vignona

Season Outlook
has worked hard in the offseason and heads into his final campaign
looking to provide leadership for the squad. A versatile athlete, he has
played in both the midfield and defense during his career.
Mohammed Mashriqi
Juniors Frank Alesci and Adam Kelemet are both dangerous players
out of the midfield that should provide additional attacking options
with their return to the lineup. Alesci is back on the field after earning
All-NEC honors as a freshman and is best at setting up his teammates
for scoring opportunities. Kelemet started three games late last season
and has displayed a heightened confidence playing well during the
spring and summer.
The LIU attack will be reinforced by the additions of freshmen Nick
Alderiso, Rommel Ford, Steve Jakubowski, Josh Maley and Dan
Sauerhoff. All five come from strong programs and have the ability to
work hard and earn playing time.
Defense will be a particular area of attention for the Blackbirds
this season. After LIU surrendered the lead in six contests last year,
Kostecky and his staff have stressed the importance of protecting leads
and taking pride in the defensive work. The squad has shown signs
of improvement to that end and will look to carry that over to the
regular season.
Senior Frank Judice, junior Emiliano Tramontozzi and sophomore
Stephen Duncan all return along the backline. Judice is the lone
senior on defense and is one of the strongest competitors on the team.
After starting 15 games last year his tenacity will serve as an example
for the squad.
Tramontozzi and Duncan are both back after combining to play 28 games with a pair of goals last year. Their experience should help steady
the Blackbirds’ efforts to contain their opponents.
Frank Judice
LIU has a pair of talented goalkeepers on the roster in sophomore
Michael Wood and freshman Adam Janssen. The pair will direct the
last line of defense from their position between the goal posts.
Rounding out the squad is junior Michael Nunoo and sophomore
Evan Fernandez. The pair are both in their first season with the
Blackbirds and their versatility should help fill a variety of roles on
the field.
The Blackbirds play a challenging schedule, opening the year in
California against UC Davis and Sacramento State. A slate of nine
home games opens with the Courtyard by Marriott LaGuardia
Soccer Classic where LIU will face Maine and Cal State Bakersfield.
Conference action begins on Oct. 10 against Quinnipiac before
defending league champion Central Connecticut State comes to
Brooklyn on Oct. 12.

2008 Long Island University Men’s Soccer
The returnees will be aided by an influx of three transfers in junior
Dan Wright and sophomores Dan Chilton and Craig Stant. The trio
all experienced postseason action with their schools last season and
earned individual honors. Their maturity should aid in the transition
to a new squad and provide further defensive options.

Head Coach•
•10th Season
East Stroudsburg, 1983
Architect. Tactician. Teacher. Builder. TJ Kostecky has restored the
Long Island University men’s soccer team back to glory. He has done
so by bringing in the top local talent from New York City and its
neighboring boroughs, as well as from across the country and across
the ocean in Europe.
Kostecky completed the restoration of LIU’s soccer success in 2004
when he led the Blackbirds to their first NCAA College Cup berth
since 1986. The trip to the tournament, and the Northeast Conference
Championship that preceded it, capped off an amazing season which
many had anticipated after watching Kostecky engineer a steady climb
in the conference since he took over the job. LIU reached the NEC
title contest in 2001 and 2002 – losing on a penalty kick both times
– before capturing the championship with a 1-0 win over Fairleigh
Dickinson.
Kostecky has engineered successful rebuilding projects at each of his
prior coaching stops. Prior to LIU, he directed a remarkable turnaround at Appalachian State in Boone, N.C.
Appalachian State had suffered four consecutive losing seasons prior to Kostecky’s hiring in 1998. In his only season at the school, he led the
Mountaineers to a 13-8 mark in 1998, marking the best first-year record for a coach in over 40 years of program history. For his efforts, he
was named Southern Conference Coach of the Year.
Kostecky arrived in Boone following a successful run as head coach and director of athletics at Pfeiffer University in
Misenheimer, N.C., from 1994-97. He was handed the reins of a program that had suffered eight straight losing seasons before he came
in and turned the program’s fortunes around. During this tenure, the team boasted a 46-25-7 record and captured two Carolinas-Virginia
Athletics Conference championships. Kostecky was named CVAC Coach of the Year in 1997 and mentored one All-American and nine allconference honorees during his tenure.
2008 Long Island University Men’s Soccer
He began his collegiate coaching career at New Jersey Institute
of Technology, where he led the Highlanders from 1988-93.
NJIT compiled a 67-37-11 mark in his six years, capturing
conference championships in 1991 and 1992 and making four
ECAC postseason trips. Kostecky’s accomplishments at NJIT
came in his native New Jersey, where he starred scholastically
at Woodbridge Township High School.
In 1979 at age 20, Kostecky was named varsity coach at Jefferson
Township (N.J.) High School. He founded and became
president of the Jefferson Township Youth Soccer Club and
today he serves as director of coaching for the club team, FC
Copa.
Kostecky credits the success he has accumulated on the sidelines
to his philosophies on game preparation and the involvement
of his players in the program.
“My approach to coaching soccer is based on the fact that it
is different from other American sports. It is really a playerdirected game,” he said. “Most coaching is done in preparation
for the game as opposed to in-game coaching. By game time, it
is usually too late to accomplish anything.

Head Coach
“I also encourage players to evaluate all aspects of the program and give
me feedback. I am only one person and the players may have a different
read on what is happening with the team.”
Tactically, Kostecky’s practice sessions involve a system called
Vision Training that he and business partner Len Bilous
developed several years ago. This method helps players make smart,
well-informed decisions by improving their field vision.
Throughout his career, Kostecky has been an instrumental figure
in facilitating the growth of soccer in America. From 1987-94 he
was a coach for New Jersey’s Olympic Development Team and
was responsible for the training and selection of the state’s top
players for the United States National Team. When he accepted his post at
Pfeiffer, he filled a similar role with North Carolina’s Olympic Development
squad. Several of the players he mentored played in Major League Soccer,
including former U.S. National Team captain Claudio Reyna of the
New York Red Bulls.
Kostecky has also worked with U.S. Men’s and Women’s National
Team members, including Julie Foudy, a captain of the 1999 Women’s
World Cup Champions. He conducted an instructional clinic for
inner city children at the 1998 NCAA Division I Championships
in Richmond, Va., for the NCAA Youth Education Through Sports
Program and was again a guest clinician for YES at the 1999 and 2000
NCAA Championships.

In 1989, Kostecky founded Soccer Start, a youth soccer program for inner city children. He served
as the program’s National Chairman until 1993. The program continues to identify and cultivate
the abundance of talent in the inner-cities. He was appointed World Cup ’94 Committee
Chair by then New Jersey Governor Jim Florio and coordinated training site activities in the
Metropolitan area for each international team.
A featured clinician around the world, Kostecky conducted a coaching seminar in Masku,
Finland, in March of 2005 on Vision Training. In early 2005, he released a DVD under the
same name for players and coaches to use. Since its release, it has become one of the most
requested coaching DVDs in the country and abroad.
Kostecky is holder of an “A” license from the United States Soccer Federation and the
“Premier Diploma” from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, which are
the highest coaching licences given in the U.S. Kostecky’s professional career began in 1981
as camp director for the Vision Training Soccer Camps. He serves as vice president of the
camps that are running successfully throughout the East Coast. Last year marked the 25th
anniversary of the Vision Training Soccer Camps.
A former all-state performer at Woodbridge, he was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame
in 1995. He played midfield on the men’s soccer team at East Stroudsburg University and
received a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education in 1983. He completed his
master’s degree at East Stroudsburg in the same field in 1992. Kostecky serves as adjunct
professor in the Department of Sports Science at Long Island University. In addition, he
serves as program director of the new minor being offered in sports management.
Kostecky currently resides in Fair Haven, N.J., with his wife, Donna, and daughters, Kate
and Caroline.

season after being hired in February 2008. Goldsmith brings extensive
coaching experience with him and will assist in all aspects of the
program.
Rich Scheer joins the Blackbirds’ men’s soccer staff for his first season
as the graduate assistant coach. Scheer has soccer marketing experience
along with playing experience and will assist in a variety of roles with
the program.
Goldsmith joined LIU after serving as the associate men’s soccer coach
at Stevens Institute of Technology, where he helped build the Ducks
into a Division III national power. As associate head coach in 2007
he helped the team to a 17-1-3 mark and a No. 17 ranking in the
final National Soccer Coaches Association of America/adidas poll.
In his five seasons at Stevens the Ducks posted a 91-9-11 record and
advance to five consecutive NCAA Tournaments, including a trip to
the sectional semifinals in 2005.
Scheer comes to LIU after serving as the marketing manager for
rEvolution Sports Marketing and ESPN in 2008. His primary role
was to promote and increase awareness for the UEFA Euro 2008

to rEvolution and ESPN.
“I am thrilled to welcome Rhett Goldsmith to our coaching staff at
LIU,” Kostecky said. “From his extensive experience at Stevens, Rhett
brings with him a record of proven success. He has recruited some
of the finest student-athletes from around the country to continue
their careers in the New York metropolitan area. His experience will
certainly help, as we focus our sights on capturing the Northeast
Conference crown.”
Prior to his time at Stevens, Goldsmith was the head men’s soccer
coach for two seasons at Albright College from 2001-03. Following
graduation, he was an assistant coach at Muhlenberg College for two
years with both the men’s and women’s programs.

Scotland.
Scheer enjoyed a standout playing career at Syracuse University from
2001-05. He ranks fifth on the school’s all-time list with a 1.23 goals
against average and in 2004 he posted a 1.04 GAA, which ranks ninth
on the single-season list for the Orange. He collected BIG EAST
Academic Honor Roll recognition during his career and was also a
BIG EAST Rookie of the Week honoree.
Following his playing career, Scheer spent almost three years with the
Red Bull New York and MetroStars franchise of Major League Soccer.
Scheer joined the MetroStars in 2004 as an intern and was responsible
for compiling reports for corporate sponsors and developing and
executing programming for the MetroStars Coaches Club. He was
promoted to manager of grassroots marketing for Red Bull New York
in May of 2005. In that role he helped lead the re-branding of the
MetroStars franchise and was responsible for organizing promotions

LIU has one of the oldest and most successful collegiate soccer programs
on the East Coast. Since the early 1950’s, LIU’s most successful teams
have produced several of the country’s brightest players and coaches.
The Blackbirds have made 13 NCAA Tournaments since the program’s
inception and in 1966, LIU compiled a 15-2-0 record and rolled to the
NCAA Tournament Final before falling to San Francisco. LIU returned
to the semifinals in 1967 before falling to Michigan State.
The men’s soccer program has produced 27 All-Americans, more than
any other sport at LIU. Among them is Dov Markus who led the
Blackbirds in scoring in 1967 and was named the first recipient of the
prestigious M.A.C. Hermann Trophy, presented annually to the top
collegiate soccer player in the country.
Richard Chinapoo, the school’s only four-time All-American, enjoyed
a professional soccer career that included a stint with the New York
Cosmos. He played alongside such greats as Carlos Alberto, Franz
Beckenbauer and Johann Neeskens and helped the team win a pair
of Eastern Division titles. In the inaugural Major League Soccer draft
on Feb. 6-7, 1996, six LIU players were drafted - more than any other
college. Giovanni Savarese scored the first eight goals for the New York
MetroStars and finished his career with a team-record 44 tallies.
NCAA Tournament History
All-Time Record: 8-13 (13 appearances)
Dov Markus won the first Hermann Award in 1967 given
annually to the nation’s top collegiate player.

LIU Athletics Hall of Fame
The Long Island University Athletics Hall of Fame was
established in 2000. In total, 60 individuals and two teams
have been enshrined, including the 1966 squad and 13
individuals representing men’s soccer, which is the secondmost represented team in the Hall.
“This institution has one of the longest and proudest traditions
of excellence that is unparalleled by most universities in the
country,” director of athletics John Suarez noted in February
of that year. “We believed it was time to recognize those who
have given so much to Blackbirds athletics.”
The members are chosen from a committee comprised of
current and former administrators. The inductees receive a
replica placque of the permanent version which is displayed
on the Wall of Fame, located in Founders Hall, adjacent to
the Arnold & Marie Schwartz Athletic Center.
The members of the 1966 men’s soccer team were inducted into the LIU
Athletics Hall of Fame on Feb. 2, 2008.
The 2008 class of inductees included the entire 1966
men’s soccer team, which is the only team in LIU history
to compete in an NCAA title game. The Blackbirds rolled to a 15-2-0 record, outscoring their opponents 85-19 during the season under the
direction of Joseph Machnik. Reinhold Jabusch earned All-America honors while anchoring the defense, and Dov Markus, who went on to
win the Hermann Trophy as national player of the year the following year, led the team with 27 goals. Prior to 1966, the Blackbirds had not
won an NCAA game, but won three in a row to advance to the title game before falling to San Francisco.
The annual dinner and banquet also honored Hank Beenders (men’s basketball), Terri Claudio (softball), Michael Couch (baseball, men’s
basketball), Mike Gansell (men’s tennis) and former softball head coach and administrator James G. “Tommy” Thompson. Several members
of the 1966 men’s soccer team were in attendance, including coach Machnik, Jabusch and Carlo Tramantozzi, who was inducted into the Hall
of Fame in 2004.

Northeast Conference
Embarking upon its 28th season, the Northeast
Conference and its member institutions look
forward to a new era of growth and opportunity
in 2008-09. Driven by a new strategic plan,
the NEC will strive to be recognized as an
NCAA Division I leader for student-athlete
achievement, integrity, competitiveness and national engagement.
The NEC can trace its roots back to 1981, when the league was first
established as the men’s basketball-only ECAC-Metro Conference.
A single-sport entity at its inception, even the league’s most ardent
supporters during its formative years could not have envisioned a
transformation into a burgeoning 12-member, 22-sport conference.
The remarkable success story of the conference began to unfold in
1985, when the league began sponsoring additional sports. Three years
later, a change of name was in order and the Northeast Conference as
we know it today was born. With membership and sport sponsorship
continuing to grow over the next decade and beyond, the NEC
now enjoys qualification or play-in access to 13 different NCAA
Championships (baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, field hockey,
men’s and women’s golf, women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer,
softball, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s volleyball).
current 12-school alignment. They are joined
by Monmouth (admitted in 1985), Mount
St. Mary’s (1989), Central Connecticut State
(1997), Quinnipiac (1998) and Sacred Heart
(1999). NEC expansion, which will culminate
in 2012 with the addition of Bryant University
as the league’s 12th member, will give the
league a six-state geographic footprint with Brenda Weare
access to such major media markets as New NEC Commissioner
York City, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Hartford
and Providence.
With the addition of women’s bowling this fall, NEC member
institutions will now compete in 22 championship sports: baseball,
men’s and women’s basketball, women’s bowling men’s and women’s
cross country, field hockey, football, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and
women’s indoor track and field, women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s
outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s
swimming, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball. Men’s
lacrosse will become the league’s 23rd sport by the 2011 season.
Though the NEC has featured various looks since its inception,
charter members Fairleigh Dickinson, Long Island, Robert Morris,
St. Francis (N.Y.), Saint Francis (Pa.) and Wagner remain part of the
Over the last five years, the NEC has televised nearly 150 events,
as the league’s coverage area expanded to 40 million homes plus
coverage internationally. The NEC also webstreamed the women’s
basketball, softball and baseball tournaments to much acclaim, and
plans to expand webstream offerings in 2008-09.

University Administration
Dr. David Steinberg
President
Long Island University
Dr. David Steinberg, the ninth president of Long Island University, was appointed April 1, 1985. During his tenure, the University has experienced a
renaissance becoming one of the largest and most comprehensive private universities in the United States. Under his leadership, the University’s endowment
has increased nearly tenfold from $4.8 million to over $80 million, and its enrollment has risen from 19,000 to over 28,500. He has spearheaded a capital
improvement plan, which has led to $400 million in investments in new construction and major renovations, resulting in vast improvements in the quality of
study and life on each of the University’s campuses, especially, the C.W. Post and Brooklyn Campuses. New doctoral programs have been added and operating
reserves have been created and increased.
Born in New York City, Dr. Steinberg, is the son of the late Rabbi Milton Steinberg of Manhattan’s Park Avenue Synagogue. He was educated at Phillips
Academy at Andover, Malvern College in England, and Harvard College, from which he graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. After a Fulbright
year at the University of the Philippines and a year at Columbia University on a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, he returned to Harvard, where he received both
a master’s in East Asian Studies (1963) and a Ph.D. in History (1964). Dr. Steinberg also has received several honorary degrees. He began his teaching career
in the Department of History at the University of Michigan, where he rose to the rank of full professor. In 1973, he joined the administration of Brandeis
University as Executive Assistant to the President, becoming Vice President and University Secretary in 1977.
The author of numerous books and articles on Southeast Asia and, in particular, Philippine history, Steinberg has taught, lectured and written about this
important area of the world for four decades. His first book, “Philippine Collaboration in World War II,” won the University Press Award in 1969. “The
Philippines: A Singular and a Plural Place,” now in its fourth edition, was described by U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines, Nicholas Platt, as “the best
single-volume guide to understanding the Philippines, past and present.” Dr. Steinberg also edited and co-authored both editions of “In Search of Southeast
Asia,” one of the major textbooks on the area. He recently collaborated with top scholars from around the world to co-author “The Emergence of Modern
Southeast Asia,” a new and multifaceted history of this complex region. He is a co-author of “Religion and Religiosity in the Philippines and Indonesia: Essays
on State, Society and Public Creeds,” 2005.
Gale Stevens Haynes
2008 Long Island University Men’s Soccer
Provost
Long Island University
Brooklyn Campus
36
“I am a big dreamer,” says Gale Stevens Haynes, Provost of Long Island University’s Brooklyn Campus and an exemplary educator, lawyer and role model.
“If you don’t dream, nothing ever changes.”
As head of a doctoral-granting institution, Provost Haynes has achieved many of her dreams both as an educator and a parent. Today, she oversees one of
the most diverse campuses in the country, with more than 11,000 students, managing an annual budget of over $160 million. Provost Haynes has led her
institution through a remarkable renaissance: doubling student enrollment, creating new facilities, diversifying faculty, forging strong links with the community
and transforming the Campus into a vibrant academic center. One of the Provost’s visions, a modern performing arts center that serves the students and the
community, became a reality in 2005. The centerpiece of the new complex is the technically advanced, 320-seat Kumble Theater for the Performing Arts, where
exciting dance, music and theater performances – from opera and gospel to Dreamgirls and the Nutcracker – regularly draw standing-room-only crowds.
In 2006, under the Provost’s leadership, the Campus completed the biggest building project in its history: the $45 million Wellness, Recreation and Athletic
Center. With state-of-the-art fitness and aquatic facilities for students and other members of the Campus, the WRAC also features an outstanding, 2,500seat venue, open to the public for athletic and civic events. Its Harriet Rothkopf Heilbrunn B’32 Academic Nursing Center offers an extensive array of free
preventive health services as well as a home for Brooklyn’s first outreach and education office for the many people affected by lupus, all in service to the entire
community. A wider array of wellness services are being developed that will include a special cluster of intervention programs addressing asthma and lead
poisoning in children. The Provost also has overseen a dramatic re-landscaping that has tripled the green space for the central part of this urban campus, with
native plants and amenities that provide a serene environment and enhanced college experience for students.
Involved in higher education for three decades, Provost Haynes began her association with the Brooklyn Campus as a student, earning a bachelor’s degree in
English and a master’s degree in counseling. She started her career as director of the Higher Education Opportunity Program. Upon completing her law degree
at St. John’s University in 1983, she became Long Island University’s legal counsel before assuming the position of Provost in 1989.
A Queens, N.Y., native, Provost Haynes grew up with a love of books and the spoken word, which she attributes to her West Indian heritage. She has passed
on that love of learning to her three daughters – a doctor, a lawyer and an educator – whom she raised as a divorced single parent. “Parenting is a training
ground for being a good CEO,” maintains the provost, who now has two grandchildren as well. Acting on her belief that a sound education is the key to
realizing one’s dreams, Provost Haynes is dedicated to creating an urban campus whose varied pathways help students to realize theirs.

John Suarez
Director of Athletics
John Suarez enters his 12th year as director of athletics at Long Island University, where he has overseen a dramatic growth of the school’s
ahletic department. During his tenure, Suarez has witnessed a sensational rise in the Blackbirds’ on-field success with 25 Northeast Conference
championships and 20 NEC Coach of the Year awards. Under his guidance, Long Island captured its first-ever NEC Women’s Commissioner’s
Cup in 2006.
Academic success has also been a priority in Suarez’s tenure, as witnessed by the department’s cumulative 3.05 grade-point average following
the 2006-07 season. It was the seventh consecutive year that the department’s cumulative GPA was above 3.0. In addition, LIU was cited with
two National Graduation Awards, sponsored by USA Today, in the last seven years.
Suarez has also spearheaded the department as it has made major improvements to its facilties. The 2006 opening of the Wellness, Recreation
and Athletic Center culminated a decade of facility improvement at the Brooklyn Campus. The $40 million facility houses as 2,500-seat
arena, an NCAA regulation-size swimming pool and a state-of-the-art fitness center. The WRAC also features a wellness center that is geared
toward a growing Brooklyn community.
The Wellness Center came on the heels of other improvements that included the addition of lights to LIU Field in 1999, Field Turf in 2001
and bleachers for softball and baseball in 2003. Suarez has also overseen upgrades to the weight room, locker rooms and scoreboards.
Suarez’s work is not done, as there are plans to further upgrade to the Blackbirds’ facilities, including an extensive redesign of LIU Field and
the addition of a bubble atop the Wellness Center, covering the track and tennis courts.
With a keen eye toward the future, Suarez has been mindful of LIU’s past. He helped spearhead the creation of the LIU Athletics Hall of Fame
in 2000 with 11 inaugural members, as well as the reestablishment of the Blackbird Club in 2002.
Suarez has also continued to make his presence felt outside the downtown Brooklyn campus. He served on the NCAA Management Council
from 2003-06 and was a member of the Division I Budget Committee from 2004-06. Prior to that, Suarez was on the NCAA Championship
Cabinet from 2000-03 and served as chair of the NEC Athletic Directors Committee from 2000-02.
Suarez earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing at Fairleigh Dickinson University, where he competed on the baseball team. He completed
his master’s in sports management at East Stroudsburg University.

Erica Marcano
Assistant Athletic Trainer
The campus’ athletic training staff is dedicated to the prevention, rehabilitation and recovery needs of over 200 student-athletes for the school’s
18 athletic teams. Headed by three full-time athletic trainers, the staff consists of several graduate and undergraduate trainers who are enrolled
in LIU’s renowned athletic training program. Because of the extreme availability of the training program’s resources, great attention and detail
is placed on each athlete in order to provide the best care and best specific plan to ensure the athlete’s long-range health goals are met.
In the winter of 2005, a state-of-the-art athletic training room opened in the lower level of the Wellness, Recreation and Athletic and Center.
It is fully equipped with the latest modalities and rehabilitation equipment in taking care of the needs of Blackbird athletes.
The Wellness Center also houses resources and programs to promote the health of community residents. Cardiac rehabilitation, orthopedic
therapy and asthma education services are available. In addition, the facility features specialized equipment, such as a separate therapy pool
equipped with a hydraulic floor. In addition to providing treatment and rehabilation, the athletic training staff provides education to studentathletes regarding health matters and concerns in order to aid students in achieving optimum health and conditioning.
The sports medicine program is under the direction of Danny O’Connor, who was promoted to head trainer in 2001. O’Connor, who started
with LIU as a graduate student in 1994, is responsible for maintaining the operation of the athletic training room. His duties also include the
coordination of medical coverage and the administering of the athletic department’s drug education and testing program. He also is in charge
of scheduling appointments with the program’s physician, coordinating preseason physical exams and designing treatment and rehabilitation
programs.
2008 Long Island University Men’s Soccer
O’Connor consults regularly with athletic department orthopedic surgeon Dr. Howard Levy, a doctor of orthopedic surgery and sports medicine
at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Levy and a network of medical staff, mostly from Lenox Hill, work closely with LIU athletes for
their surgical and rehabilitative needs.

Richard James
Strength and Conditioning Coach
The strength and conditioning program at Long Island University is designed to help student-athletes maximize their athletic potential and
performance while reducing the risk of injury. Coordinated by Richard James, a former Blackbird and All-American in the 400-meter dash,
specialized workout programs are tailored to enhance athletes’ physical abilities in their specific sports, as each sport places different demands on
the body. Included in his regimen are weight training, power and speed training, flexibility training, plyometrics and conditioning. James, who
holds a master’s degree in exercise physiology from Long Island, is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and a U.S.A. Weightlifting
Performance Specialist.
The weight training room is located in the new state-of-the art Wellness, Recreation and Athletic Center. The facility houses not only a fitness
center equipped with the latest equiment - from stationary bikes with built in televisions to a full weight station - but also a separate weight
room especially geared for student-athletes.
There is a full range of equipment to meet the diverse needs of each student-athlete from preseason conditioning to the offseason variety.
Treadmills and stationary bikes, free weights and press machines are just some of the pieces of equipment which make it one of the most
complete facilities in the Northeast Conference.

Academics
Nora Mavashev
Academic Enhancement Coordinator
The balancing of academic achievement and athletic success is the primary concern of LIU’s Department of Athletics. The University’s
student-athlete academic services are designed to help the department fulfill its commitment to all student-athletes in their pursuit of academic
excellence.
At LIU, there is a high priority placed on academic integrity, along with an opportunity to take advantage of extraordinary academic programs.
The goal of the LIU Athletic Department is to give student-athletes an avenue to seek help, whether it be for tutorial assistance, scheduling
of classes, personal or career development or to improve on their test-taking and time-management skills.
In her fourth year, Nora Mavashev is responsible for monitoring academic progress of the student-athletes, ensuring they meet and exceed
the University’s academic goals in compliance with NCAA and institutional standards. In conjunction with the director and senior associate
director of athletics, Mavashev has formed close relationships with the academic advisement office and counseling center to assist the studentathlete in negotiating the demands of daily practices and games.
The athletic department had an overall grade point average this past year of 3.05. In the spring of 2008, 13 of the 17 teams posted semester
and cumulative averages above 3.00. For the year, there were 105 student-athletes (51 percent) who had a cumulative GPA above 3.00 and 27
student-athletes (14 percent) with GPAs above 3.50.
The University has twice been recognized by the NCAA and USA Today for having the highest graduation rate in the nation as compared to
the remainder of the student body.

Reflections on Long Island University
David Ledet (2001-04) graduated in May 2005 with a 3.89 GPA as a double major in English and political science,
becoming the first LIU student-athlete to be named valedictorian. The Houma, La., native was named to the ESPN The
Magazine Academic All-America First Team for men’s soccer and was named the Northeast Conference Men’s Soccer
Scholar-Athlete of the Year. A standout defender over four seasons, his intensity and smart play helped the Blackbirds
capture the NEC title in 2004.
Ledet penned the following letter just after graduation to
head coach TJ Kostecky, reflecting on his time and memories
at LIU:
“I want to thank you specifically for your invaluable support
for my athletic and academic endeavors. It is the combination
of location and administration that has made LIU such a
distinguished academic and athletic atmosphere for me.
“I have heard from friends of mine who played at bigger
Division I schools where they were confronted with coaches
and teachers who were often too busy to give them personal
attention or too disconnected to understand the importance
of both aspects of athletic life at a university. Many did not
finish their athletic or academic careers. Fortunately for me,
this is the opposite of what LIU has been.
2008 Long Island University Men’s Soccer
“The open dialogue between, for instance, the Honors and
Athletics programs allowed me to take advantage of all of
the opportunities this university provides. The fact our team
won conference and attended the NCAA Tournament while achieving the highest GPA in Division I is a testament to the
focus you put on excellence on and off the field.
40
“One should not overlook the fact LIU is located less than two miles from the largest financial center in the world. The
significance of this is that career opportunities are close at hand. Internships and organizations aimed at incorporating
students into their workforce and providing funding for
their participation is a benefit that does not exist at other
universities.
“Part of coaching is being able to connect all of these
features in order to encourage teammates to grow as a team
and as individuals. In a word, LIU offered me a venue to
explore my athletic and individual potential by encouraging
excellence on the field and in the classroom. Specifically, you
were understanding when conflicts inevitably arose between
soccer and work. I could not imagine a better atmosphere
for growing as a player and a student. I mean that quite
seriously.
“This is a brief synopsis of how I feel about my time here at
LIU. While you may go on and win national championships
and world titles, I will always remember the way it felt to win
conference! That is something I can not forget.”
Thanks again,
David Ledet
