Head Coach
Kyle Robinson
Head Coach•
•First Season
LIU Southampton, 1998
Kyle Robinson enters his first season as the head coach of the Long Island
University volleyball program. Robinson inherits a successful team that
has won four consecutive Northeast Conference championships and
went 32-1 in league play during that span. As he takes over the helm,
Robinson will look to guide the Blackbirds to a fifth NEC crown.
Robinson comes to Brooklyn after three years as an assistant coach at
the United States Air Force Academy. A graduate of LIU’s Southampton
campus, Robinson organized Air Force’s team practice and strength
programs. He also assisted with recruiting and implementation of Air
Force’s volleyball camps.
“I’m very excited to be back home in the New York area,” Robinson
said. “It’s great to be part of the LIU family again. The program here
in Brooklyn has a strong history and a rich foundation. The girls that are coming back are going to keep that history and legacy going. I know
they’re excited to get back to playing and I can’t wait to work with them.”
Robinson brings a wealth of playing experience to the Blackbirds. He played for the U.S. National Volleyball Team from March 2001 to June
2003 and then again from March 2004 to December 2004. Robinson also played for a pair of professional teams in Greece. He was a member
of the Aris Volleyball Club from 2003-2004 and spent part of 2004 with the Poak Volleyball Club.
Also in 2003, Robinson played professionally in Puerto Rico for the Criollos Volleyball Club where he was the top scorer in the league. Prior
to that, he played in Greece for the Ethnikos Volleyball Club and in Belgium for the Volleyball Club Zorgvliet Antwerpen. Robinson has
also spent time as a coach and personal trainer at the All American Volleyball Camp in Portland, Ore., and the Pikes Peak Volleyball Club in
Colorado Springs, Colo.
Robinson earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from LIU-Southhampton in 1998. He and his wife, Jennifer, reside in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Assistant Coach
Lindsey Patty
Student Assistant Coach•
•First Season
Long Island, 2008
Former Blackbird Lindsey Patty joins the Long Island University
volleyball staff after an impressive playing career. Patty spent two seasons
in Brooklyn anchoring the Blackbirds’ attack and winning a pair of
Northeast Conference championships in the process.
During her stint at the school, she carved her name into Long Island’s
record books as one of the top setters in program history. Patty currently
sits in second place on the school’s assists list after dishing out 2,191
over two years.
In each of those seasons, she handed out assist totals that rank among
Long Island’s leaders. In her first season, Patty amassed 1,053 assists,
which stand as the sixth-highest total in school history. She followed
up that impressive performance with a 1,138-assist campaign in 2007,
landing in fifth place all-time at Long Island.
Patty’s performances were recognized by the league as she was named
to the All-NEC Second Team in both 2006 and 2007. She garnered
NEC Player of the Week accolades during the 2007 season. Patty also
excelled in the classroom, earning a place on the NEC Academic Honor
Roll. In addition, she was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic
All-District Team by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America in 2007.
After transferring from the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith, Patty majored in speech language pathology at Long Island.
Academic Honors
2008 Long Island University Volleyball
For the third year in a row, the Long Island University
volleyball team garnered the Game Plan/American Volleyball
Coaches Association Team Academic Award. To be eligible for
the honor, a team must have a combined grade point average
of at least 3.3 on a scale of 4.0. The Blackbirds’ work in the
classroom led to a GPA of 3.4.
Martina Wagner was named the 2007 Northeast Conference
Volleyball Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Toni Perhat was named
the 2007-08 Long Island Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
In addition, Wagner and Lindsey Patty were recognized for their
work both on and off the court. The pair was named to the
ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Volleyball Team by
the College Sports Information Directors of America. To be
eligible for Academic All-America consideration, a studentathlete must have a cumulative GPA of 3.20 or better and must
have completed her freshman year.

Season Outlook
After securing a fourth consecutive Northeast Conference championship
last season, the Long Island University volleyball team will once again
seek to capture the NEC crown. While the 2008 season will offer many
similarities to the four previous championship campaigns, the forthcoming
year will also be one of differences.
Jasmine Perez
The Blackbirds return six players from the 2007 squad and will once again
play a challenging non-conference schedule to prepare them for the NEC
slate. Long Island lost arguably the most talented graduating class in school
history, including a pair of NEC Players of the Year, but new head coach
Kyle Robinson inherits a program that is poised to continue its conference
dominance and make a run at a fifth NEC title.
Last season, the Blackbirds tore through the NEC once again, rattling off a
perfect 8-0 record in league play for the third consecutive year. Even more
impressive was the fact that Long Island took each of those matches by a 3-0
mark. The Blackbirds also saw one of their own named conference player of
the year for the third season in a row as Shelby Heggie garnered the honor.
Heggie joined Martina Wagner, Lizelle Jackson and Cristina Pintile as the
fourth Long Island player to win the award. The Blackbirds capped off their
season with a fourth straight NCAA Tournament appearance.
Long Island returns a solid core of players led by All-NEC First Team
honorees Svetlana Simic and Martina Racic. Simic, a junior, became the
conference’s inaugural libero of the year after a stellar season wearing the contrasting jersey. The Serbia native set a Long Island single-season
record last year with 626 digs, which was also the most in the conference. A leader on the court for Long Island, Simic also tallied a Long
Island single-match high 32 digs in a win over Yale. Racic, a senior middle blocker, earned her way onto the all-conference team by placing
seventh in the NEC in kills per game with 3.38. For the season, she totaled 416 kills and 68 blocks.
Jasmine Perez and Agatha Baliddawa are also back for their senior seasons in Brooklyn. Perez, a defensive specialist, played an integral role
for the Blackbirds last year. She contributed 140 digs for the year, including 10 or more on three different occasions. Last season was the first
at Long Island for Baliddawa, who started 16 matches. The Uganda native tallied 68 kills and 56 blocks and should see more prime playing
time.
Long Island will welcome a quartet of newcomers into the fold. Twin sisters
Ashley and Jessica Rice each earned spots on the All-Olympic Conference
and All-South Jersey first teams while at Cherokee (N.J.) High School.
Chelsey Stanton comes to Brooklyn from Emmaus (Pa.) High School,
where she was selected to the Lehigh Conference All-Star Team. Quinn
Williams was the named most valuable player of the Golden League as a
senior at Palmdale (Calif.) High School. All four are expected to challenge
for playing time.
As has grown to be the norm, Long Island will play an extremely challenging
schedule, which opens with defending national champion Penn State on
Sept. 5 at the Nittany Lion Invitational. The Blackbirds will play three
other teams that appeared in the NCAA Tournament last season: Tulsa,
Albany and, in a rematch from last year’s tournament, St. John’s. The Red
Storm will visit the Wellness, Recreation and Athletic Center as part of the
Blackbird Invitational, which also features Houston Baptist and Howard.
NEC play kicks off on Oct. 11 when Long Island visits Central Connecticut
State.

2008 Long Island University Volleyball
Like Racic, junior Dunja Milin hails from Croatia. Milin was the understudy to one of the league’s top setters in Lindsey Patty for two seasons.
Last year saw more playing time for Milin, who appeared in 29 matches. She dished out 467 assists and averaged 5.99 per game, which was
good enough for ninth in the NEC. With more playing time and her ability to sneak the ball over the net, expect Milin to flourish. Sophomore
Theresa Gorella also returns for the Blackbirds. In limited action during
her inaugural campaign she showed talent as an outside hitter. With a year
of experience under her belt, Gorella is primed to take on a bigger role in
Svetlana Simic
2008.

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).
2008 Long Island University Volleyball
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.

by Monmouth (admitted in 1985), Mount

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.

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
Provost
Long Island University
Brooklyn Campus
“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.”
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.

2008 Long Island University Volleyball
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.

Athletics Administration
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 2007-08 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.
2008 Long Island University Volleyball
Suarez arrived following a three-year stint as athletics director at Mercer County College in Trenton, N.J., which won two national championships
and produced 11 regional titles in that span. Eighty percent of the athletes in his time attended four-year schools and every team produced a
winning record during his last two years.
26
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.

Head Athletic Trainer
Assistant Athletic Trainer
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.
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.
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.
