Reliving 2011 Through The Eyes of a Nighthawk

With just hours left in 2011, this is the time to reflect on everything that has happened in the past calendar year. And for Nighthawks Nation there were a multitude of highlights for Nighthawk Nation to look back on.

JANUARY

Women’s basketball tipped off the New Year with three straight wins to push their win streak to five games. Guard Morganna Machado, who was coming of a career game-high 26 points in their last game of 2010, was instrumental in the Nighthawks win streak, averaging 13 points per game. However it would only be a glimmer of things to come for not just the Attleboro native but Newbury athletics as a whole.

FEBRUARY

Machado continued her outstanding season on the basketball court and helped lead the Nighthawks to a 60-59 upset over second place Mitchell College on February 12th. After receiving the inbound pass at the top of the key with one second remaining on the shot clock – and seven left in the game – she knocked down a Hail Mary trey at the buzzer. The Nighthawks held off the Mariners for the next six seconds to send their two graduating seniors, Amy Chen and Ashley Monteiro, out on a victory. However, that was only the beginning of what would be an exhilarating month of sports.

That same day, in Bennington, Vt., men’s volleyball senior Michael Biuso registered his 1,000th defensive dig in a 3-1 win over Wentworth Institute of Technology. The New York native currently sits atop the Newbury record books with 1,241 career digs and opened the flood gates for a week that Nighthawk Nation would witness two anomalies.

Against a tough North East Collegiate Volleyball Association (NECVA) opponent, Endicott College, on the road, senior outside hitter James Beck was on fire. Lighting the Gulls up, the Harford County, Md. native notched a career match-high 30 kills en route to a five set, 3-2, victory on February 15th. It was a sign of things to come as a the Nighthawks would down the Gulls once again two months later in the ECAC title match.

However, that was only half of an amazing week. Like a double eagle in golf or a perfect game in baseball, registering 30 points in a game is a tough accomplishment but senior guard Ashley Monteiro attained the elusive feat.

In her last regular season game of her college career, Monteiro registered a two new career single game-highs to guide the Nighthawks to the 87-82 victory over Southern Vermont. The Cambridge native dropped a game-high 30 points on the Mountaineers – all from beyond the arc. It earned her spot on the last D3 Hoops Team of the Week becoming the third Newbury player to earn the national honors.

Victories over Mitchell and Southern Vermont solidified the fourth seed for the Nighthawks in the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) post-season with a 9-7 record. While the women were going to host their first playoff game, they would have to share the post-season spot light with their male counterparts. Led by guard Tim Young the Nighthawks claimed the fourth seed with an 8-6 record. In his second to last game of his collegiate career, senior guard John Rowley netted a game-high 18 points in a 68-61 victory over Wheelock College to meet the nationally ranked Becker College in the NECC semifinals.

MARCH

After winning just as six games the past two seasons, the baseball squad was eager to start the 2011 season under first year Head Coach Kraig Kupiec. Under the warm Florida sun, the Nighthawk bats woke up in their second game as they battered Finlandia pitching driving in a new single game-high 21 runs. But it was just the trailer for year where they would obliterate the current record book. Baseball returned from sunny Fort Myers with a 5-5 record – their most wins in the month of March in the history of the program.

Later in the month on a blistery cold evening the Nighthawks rewarded their fans with a thrilling eighth inning comeback against non-conference Albertus Magnus. Trailing since the first inning, the Nighthawks withstood the freezing temperatures and finally got to Falcons pitching. First baseman Alex Chetelat capped off a five run eighth inning with an infield single to give the 9-6 comeback victory.

Four days later in their second conference series against Lesley University back-stop Patrick Curry became the all-time leader in hits and RBIs. Entering the game one RBI and four hits shy of former Newbury leader William Maddock (’09), Curry went six-for-eight while driving in five runners en route to a double-header sweep of the Lynx. In the process, both he and Chetelat surpassed Maddock in total bases in the record books.

Baseball was back at Newbury but they were not going to overshadow the Nighthawks softball squad.

In a single seven inning game against Regis College, Curry’s female counterpart and classmate Ariel Ross launched her first collegiate career homerun. The roundtripper capped off a seven run bottom of the fifth as the softball team was in the midst of their own comeback but fell short, 12-8 against the Pride.

The men’s volleyball team closed out a record setting month of March with their second consecutive New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) Title with a 3-1 victory over Elms on Saturday March 26th. Senior setter Matt Talamantes earned All-Tournament MVP and NECC Player of the Year honors registering 75 assists against Southern Vermont and Elms in the conference championship.

APRIL

New England weather in April is less than ideal but that did not stop baseball’s bats from hammering non-conference Rivier College pitching in a 16-5 rout on April 7th. Chetelat slammed the door on the Raiders with his first collegiate grand slam, launching a high, towering shot over the 30-foot fence in deep centerfield. The first baseman from Farmington, Conn. was three-for-four with five RBIs in the ballgame.

The next day sophomore power pitcher Rebecca Roach fanned 11 Mariners in a 10-4 victory over conference foe Mitchell College to split the double-header on Friday April 8th. It was the first of four times Roach would strike out 11 batters in game in 2011.

On Sunday April 10th, Curry closed out the weekend with his 100th base hit of his collegiate career as baseball too the season series against Elms College, 2-1, with the 5-4 victory in Chicopee, Mass. The previous day shortstop Russell DeMatties lined a laser in to the left-centerfield gap to drive home Chetelat in the bottom of the eighth for the walk-off win in game-one of the double-header against the Blazers. The Nighthawks went on to split the twin bill, losing game two, 10-6.

Men’s volleyball seniors James Beck, Max Daley, Michael Biuso and Matt Talamantes closed out outstanding four year careers on the hard-court with bookend ECAC Division III North Titles. The Nighthawks followed up baseball’s record breaking weekend against Elms with a 3-1 upset victory over number one seeded Endicott College in Beverly.

After a slow start to the season, the softball team closed out the month of April with a seven game win streak. Newbury sealed the fifth spot in the conference championship tournament on the final day of the regular season with a double-header sweep of Southern Vermont College. Freshman first baseman Joanna Robie went six-for-eight in two games against the Mountaineers as she helped the Nighthawks set new team game-highs with 18 and 17 hits.

MAY

After upsetting fourth seeded Becker College in the first round of the playoffs, Newbury advanced to the double elimination portion of the conference tournament. Despite falling to regular season champion Lesley University in the first game and Mitchell College in game two, sophomore Rebecca Roach and Teressa Farioli were selected to the NECC All-Tournament Team.

When the post-season awards were announced the Nighthawks spring teams were heavily represented on the All-Conference Teams. While Curry’s .402 batting average and team-high 29 RBIs earned him a First Team selection, five softball players were named to the All-Conference team for their seven game win streak to close out the season. Robie was softball’s lone representative on the First Team while Brittany Stracher and Samantha Rios were named to the Second Team and Farioli and Theresa Hylinski earned Honorable Mention honors.

In his first year as a Head Coach, baseball’s Kraig Kupiec was tabbed as the 2011 Coach of the Year by the six other coaches for the Nighthawks’ impressive turnaround. The NECC Coach of the Year Award comes weeks after Kupiec was named by his colleagues as Newbury’s Coach of the Year at the annual awards banquet in April.

Women's soccer forward Briana Tomaselli got the chance of a life time when she was one of 15 players in the nation to be selected to the national, 2011 D-3 Soccer All-Star Squad that competed on a week long tour in Brazil in the middle of May.

JUNE

Former Regis College Assistant Coach, Jelani Townsell was named the new Head Men’s Basketball Coach after spending two season as a Graduate Assistant with UConn. Serving as an academic advisor, Townsell helped the Huskies to the 2010-11 NCAA Division I National Championship.

AUGUST

For the second consecutive year, Newbury College was represented at the 18th Annual Old Time Baseball game at St. Peter’s Field in North Cambridge, Mass. Starting in centerfield and wearing the 1901 Baltimore Orioles all black uniform, junior Kyle Schiavone made the play of the night, robbing former Red Sox utility infielder Lou Merloni of extra bases, tracking down a laser into the left-centerfield gap.

On Comcast New England's “The Baseball Show” the following Saturday, Merloni had this to say about the Nighthawk outfielder: “This kid came out of nowhere. It was a like a blur. Read that thing, I thought it was an easy double in the gap.” (To watch the clip, click here).

SEPTEMBER

When the student-athletes returned for the 2011-12 academic year, it also brought a ton of success on the playing surfaces as well. Women’s volleyball middle blocker Sydney Fish grabbed the first NECC Rookie of the Week honors of the season with an impressive performance at the two day, Gordon Invitational.

The women’s soccer team continued to make great strides in their three years under Head Coach Bobby Desilets. For the first time in the history of the program the Nighthawks registered back-to-back shut-outs against Pine Manor College (9/12) and Lyndon State College (9/14).

However, women’s soccer was not the only team on the rise in the fall of 2011, both cross country teams and the men’s golf squad each showed they were growing exponentially. At the inaugural Mt. Ida Mustang Invitational on September 15th Solange Thomas and Ryan Maliff swept medalist honors. Thomas crossed the finished line with a time of 22:16 in the women’s race while Maliff finished 18 seconds ahead of Mt. Ida runner Sean Slattery.

Towards the tail-end of September the Rookie of the Week honors on the links resided in Brookline. In his first collegiate tournament first year David Hart fired a 79 to earn co-medalist honors against Becker. The following week classmate Stephen Peltier came within one stroke of the leader at Emmanuel’s three team tournament as he helped lead the Nighthawks to a second place finish carding 79.

Hart took home the weekly honors for a second time after he finished 10th in the 68 player field at the Elms Invitational, turning in a scorecard of a 79 at the 68 player. It was the Keene, N.H.’s second straight score of 79 – third on the season – after he helped the Newbury Gold squad to a first place finish over Suffolk the previous day with an all-time low team score of 323.

OCTOBER

After the women’s soccer team recorded back-to-back shut-outs their male counterparts did not want to be outdone. Senior goalkeeper William McNally helped guide the Nighthawks to back-to-back shutouts over Regis College (10/13) and Mitchell College (10/15) for the first time in six years.

Women's tennis junior Jennifer Swafford earned NECC Honorable Mention honors after finishing the season with a 6-3 singles record against conference foes.

NOVEMBER

Sophomore forward Briana Tomaselli opened the 11th month of year by becoming the first player in the history of the women’s soccer program to earn ECAC Offensive Player of the Week. The Nighthawks leading scorer registered back-to-back hat-tricks against Anna Maria College and Bay Path College. It was the first of many awards Newbury would receive in November.

Tomaselli led the Nighthawks to their third consecutive post-season appearance and in the process earned All-NECC First Team honors with conference leading 48 points. Freshman defender Kristina Almeida and senior goalkeeper Rachel Wyszynski joined their teammate as their iron-tight defense set new program records in goals against. Almeida was selected to the All-Conference Second Team while Wyszynski earned Honorable Mention honors in her first season in goal.

On the men’s side, junior forward Shaundize Moosavizadeh was tabbed as the NECC Men’s Soccer Player of the Year, setting single season career-highs in goals and points with 13 and 28, respectively, to help the Nighthawks to their third straight NECC post-season appearance.

Three time women’s volleyball Rookie of the Week recipient, first year Sydney Fish guided Newbury to the semifinals for the second consecutive season. Fish and the Nighthawks earned the two seed in the NECC Playoffs with a 6-2 record and made their second trip to the finals in three years. The Kalamazoo native was tabbed as the NECC Rookie of the Year and Second Team honors while classmate Lauren Watson and senior Tricia Corriveau earned Honorable Mention accolades. A week later Corriveau was one of 12 seniors across the New England region to earn New England Women's Volleyball Association (NEWVA) Honorable Mention honors.

Leading the Nighthawks with 288 digs in 2011, Corriveau surpassed the 1,000 defensive dig milestone. She finished a decorated four-year career with 1,128 digs placing her second in the Newbury record books behind only 2008 graduate Courtney LeDoux.

In their first game under new Head Coach Jelani Townsell the Nighthawks men’s basketball team picked their first victory against Framingham State University with a 76-72 victory.

A week later, right before everyone broke for the Thanksgiving holiday, the Nighthawks returned to .500 on the season with a dramatic comeback victory on the road against Eastern Nazarene College.

After junior guard Tim Young knotted up the contest at 78 with under a minute left to play, he forced a Lions turnover on their next possession leading directly to sophomore guard Eric Watson’s game-winner with 18 seconds remaining for the 82-78 victory.

DECEMBER

Flipping the calendar to the last month of the year was like a clean slate for the women’s basketball team after an offensive slow start to the 2011-12 season. Once they picked up that elusive first victory on the first of the month against Lasell they were on a roll.

For the first time in school history, Newbury swept home-and-away meetings against nearby rivals Lesley University. While freshman guard Milciades Carrasco paved the way to a 67-50 victory at home, draining a game-high 18 points on the Lynx, the women were going to town down the road. Registering her first double-double of her collegiate career, sophomore forward Katie Haney teamed up with junior center Catherine O’Connell to dispose of the Lynx, 52-26.

In their last game before the winter break, O’Connell became the all-time leading rebounder in a 69-61 victory against Becker College – the team that knocked them out of the playoffs 10 months prior. O’Connell led four Nighthawks in double figures tallying 13 points while ripping down 18 boards. Senior guard Kendra Bannister tied an individual game-high pulling down 14 boards in addition to tying O’Connell and classmate Morganna Machado with 13 points.

Closing the books on a successful 2011 in Newbury athletics, the year 2012 appears to be just as successful.

NighthawksTip-Off NECC Basketball Season with First

The Newbury College men’s and women’s basketball teams opened up New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) action with a historic first. While the men were taming 5’8” Lesley guard John Sanchez in a 67-58 victory at home, their female counterparts were battling the Lynx just up the road, earning their first win in six years over Lesley with a lopsided, 52-26 win. It was the first time in Newbury history both programs defeated rival Lesley University on the same night.

In front of a highly energized Nighthawk Nation, freshman guard Milciades Carrasco (Haverhill, Mass.) was the sparkplug the Nighthawks needed to overcome a 9-2 Lynx run to begin the game. Midway through the first half Carrasco turned a Lesley turnover into a quick three points that altered the direction of the game. It was the Haverhill native’s first points of the contest but it set off a chain reaction and he was off to the races.

Carrasco could not miss in the first half. As soon as the ball touched his hands, the volume in the gym increased. He was nearly perfect from behind the arc knocking down four of five for half-high 12 points to lead the Nighthawks into the locker room with the 32-27 lead.

At halftime of the men’s game, the women were just getting underway over on Gerry’s Landing in West Cambridge. In search of their second straight victory of the season against last year’s regular season champion, the Nighthawks came out of the gate on fire, jumping on the Lynx early and never taking their foot off the accelerator.

Reigning NECC Player of the Week junior center Catherine O’Connell (Quincy, Mass.) led the offensive outburst dropping 11 of her game-high 12 points on the Lynx in the first half. The North Shore native nearly registered her fourth straight double-double in the first half ripping down nine boards in the period.

Back over in Brookline, Carrasco and the men’s squad just completed the 67-58 victory as the women headed to the locker room with a commanding 27-12 lead at the half. Feeding off second chance points, senior forward Jason Marshall (Fairburn, Ga.) came up huge for the Nighthawks in the second half.

In addition to netting seven points on the evening, Marshall was a force on the offensive blocks, ripping down seven of his game-high 11 rebounds away from the waiting arms of defenders as the Nighthawks outscored the Lynx, 12-9, on second chance scoring opportunities. Sophomore guard Kwame Thompson (Brockton, Mass.) was another key factor off the Newbury bench. Like Marshall, Thompson also started the second half and helped guide the Nighthawks to their victory in the conference opener tallying six points on the Lynx.

After recording just four points in the first half, junior guard Tim Young (Brockton, Mass.) climbed within two points of teammate, sophomore Eric Watson (New Rochelle, N.Y.) for the conference lead, tying sophomore Steve Rosemond (Everett, Mass.) with 14 on the evening. Rosemond snuck up on the Lynx and buried them registering a double-double, adding 10 boards to his already impressive stat-line that included a game-high four steals.

Following the men’s exhilarating nine point victory, the women still had another 20 minutes of basketball to play to complete the home-and-away sweep of the Lynx. And they were up to the challenge.

Senior guard Shayla White (Dorchester, Mass.) had a field day against the Lesley offense. The only member of the Nighthawks to play more than 30 minutes, White set a new career game-high for herself picking the pockets of the Lynx, a game-high seven times. Her previous game-high was five which she accomplished five times other times over the course of her four year career.

In the 26 point victory, the Nighthawks set a new record in rebounds, ripping down an extraordinary 72 boards – double the amount the Lynx rained in. Sophomore forward Katie Haney (Winchendon, Mass.) was a major factor as she drew attention away from O’Connell defensively setting a new individual career game-high, pulling in 13 boards – seven of which were offensive.

With both teams opening up the conference season at 1-0, the Nighthawks appear to pose a daunting threat for conference opponents in addition to making a long run in the New England Collegiate Conference Championship Tournament in February.

First Years Lead Newbury to Outstanding Week

The Class of 2015 has come in and made an immediate impact for Newbury College athletics. Out of the 13 student-athletes who have garnered New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) weekly honors, eight of them have been freshmen. Women’s volleyball middle blocker Sydney Fish (Kalamazoo, Mich.) received the honors for the third time this season while it was the first for women’s soccer’s Kelsey Landry (Milford, N.H.) and men’s soccer’s Rodriquez Pierre (Somerville, Mass.).

Fish helped the Newbury to their first victory, in four years, over Daniel Webster College, tallying nine kills in a 3-0 sweep of the Eagles on Wednesday October 19^th. Daniel Webster had won the last five meetings which included knocking the Nighthawks out of the championship and semifinals the past two seasons. Fish closed out the week registering 15 kills and two total blocks in a tri-match against Framingham State University and Western New England University.

Landry became the third first year on the women’s soccer team to garner Rookie of the Week honors tallying nine points against Daniel Webster and Southern Vermont. After recording the first and last goals in an 8-0 shut-out of the Eagles, she finished off the week adding another two goals in a 6-1 victory over the Mountaineers. Landry continues to play well in her first season at Newbury registering two goals the Nighthawks’ fourth shut-out of the season – tying a program season-high – defeating non-conference Anna Maria College, 10-0, Monday afternoon.

Pierre became Newbury’s eighth freshman to receive Rookie of the Week honors in 2011-12 after helping the men’s soccer team to a 1-1-1 week. The Somerville High graduate combined for four assists over the weekend against NECC opponent Southern Vermont College and non-conference Fisher College. Pierre’s two assists against the conference leader, Southern Vermont, helped the Nighthawks 3-3 tie in a physical contest.

October 17, 2011

Robie, Rios Receive National Honors

Newbury softball pitcher and first baseman Joanna Robie (Andover, Mass.) as well as Samantha Rios (Bronx, N.Y.) were recipients of the 2011 National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-America Scholar-Athlete award this month. Excelling not just on the diamond but also in the classroom, they were two of 4,339 student-athletes representing 707 academic institutions across the country to be selected for the honor.

The NFCA presents the award every fall to any player, submitted by a member coach, who achieved a 3.50 grade point average – on a scale of 4.0 – or higher during the 2010-11 academic year. It is the second component of the Association's academic award program with the first being the 2011 NFCA Top Ten All-Academic team.

On the diamond, Robie appeared and started 31 of Newbury's 34 contests, leading the Nighthawks with a .419 batting average and a .581 slugging percentage while driving home 26 base runners. In addition to maintaining a 3.50-plus GPA, Rios was also solid on the field, carrying a .270 average with a .343 on-base percentage.

October 3, 2011

Awards Keep Coming

Women’s volleyball freshman middle blocker Sydney Fish (Kalamazoo, Mich.) and men’s golf first year David Hart (Keene, N.H.) earned New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) Rookie of the Week honors for the second time this season, due to outstanding performances on the hard-court and links.

Fish received the honors for the first time since the first week of the season after helping the Nighthawks to a 1-1 week against two non-conference opponents. Early in the week, the Michigan native tallied 16 kills for a .500 hitting percentage in a 3-0 sweep of the Mustangs of Mt. Ida College, Monday evening. Fish remained red-hot registering a .529 attack percentage and 11 kills against non-conference Suffolk University on Thursday September 29^th.

Hart earned his second Rookie of the Week honors after finishing in the top 10 of the 68 player field at the Elms College Invitational, after turning in a scorecard of a 79 with zero double bogeys. It was the New Hampshire native’s second straight time – third on the season – in as many days posting a 79. Hart fired a 79 the previous day to help the Newbury-Gold squad to a first place finish over Suffolk University with a 323 team score.

Maliff, Thomas Sweep Individual Honors at Mt. Ida Invitational

The Newbury College cross country team continues to make great strides with every meet as the Nighthawks swept the individual title at the inaugural Mount Ida Cross Country 5K Invitational, Thursday September 15^th. Junior Solange Thomas (Webster ,Mass.) crossed the finish line of the women’s race in 22:26 while senior Ryan Maliff (Ashfield, Mass.) paced the men with a time of 34:20.

Neither race was a battle to finish for the Nighthawks. Maliff had his Mt. Ida counterpart, junior Sean Slattery by a good 18 seconds while Thomas was 16 seconds out in front of Mt. Ida senior Jeileen Rivera to become Newbury’s first cross country tandem to sweep the medalist position.

Sophomore Jessica Harralson (Lebanon, Conn.) continued to improve placing 11^th with time of 26 minutes as classmate Jennifer Lewis (Stratford, Conn.) was hot on her heels finishing 1:18 later for 12^th place. Freshman Shanice Reed (Meridan, Conn.) followed soon after at 28:18.

Other Newbury runners: Senior Kayla Grady (Barrington, R.I.) finished the 5K in 34:11 while on the men’s side, senior and first year runner Benjamin Weiner (Barrington, R.I.) crossed the line with a time of 40:04.

WESTON, Mass. – The Newbury College men’s soccer team dropped the 2011 season opener to non-conference William Paterson University, 7-0, Saturday afternoon in the Regis College Invitational. The Pioneers improve to 1-0-1 on the season while the Nighthawks drop to 0-1.

But despite the loss, senior goalkeeper William McNally (Grafton, Mass.) played stoically in net for the Nighthawks and was not afraid of the Pioneer offense as the Grafton native registered 11 saves in the contest.

Naeem Boucher (Paterson, N.J.) got the scoring started for the Pioneers scoring on a penalty kick after he was taken down in the box. Six minutes later the junior forward picked up an assist on a goal by Anthony Ferrer (Lake Hiawatha, N.J.) and just under three minutes after that, Marcus Hackett (Montclair, N.J.) got on the scoring sheet with a goal at the 14:46 mark of the first half.

Boucher added his second tally of the game a mere 1:45 into the second frame and give the Pioneers a 4-0 lead while Maddolin would then score three more goals in the rest of the period for the natural hat-trick.

Newbury was able to only muster three shots on the day with Shaundize Moosavizadeh (Winchester, Mass.), Marco Carvajal (Marblehead, Mass.) and Gerard Font-Raventos (Barcelona, Spain) each registering attempts. William McNally (Grafton, Mass.) suffered the setback for the Nighthawks while making 11 saves.

Senior Zach Collins (Bayville, N.J.) made one save in the first half to pick up the victory. Ben Horowitz (Spotswood, N.J.) played the second half and faced only one shot.

William Paterson advances to take on host Regis College for the Pride Cup on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. while Newbury will take on Suffolk University in the consolation game at 1:00 p.m.

Golf Aims to Fly High in 2011

The Newbury College men's golf team looks to come out strong in 2011 under first year Head Coach Garrett Quinn. They are turning the corner and focused on becoming one of the premier golf contenders in the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) in 2011.

2010 Review

Last season, Newbury golf made monumental strides as the season progressed. Mike Scibelli highlighted the 2010 season earning medalist honors at the Blackstone National Golf Club in Sutton, Mass. firing a tournament-low 81. It was his lowest score of the season and despite the Nighthawks falling to the Anna Maria College Amcats, they still turned in their lowest team score of the season, of 383. At the conference Championship last fall, Rob Foley fired a career-low, 204 in the two-day tournament, posting consistent scores of 102 both days.

2011 Outlook

The Nighthawks will once again travel west for the sixth consecutive year to Chicopee, Mass. for the Elms College Invitational. Last year Scibelli finished in the top 15 in the six team field, of the first Blazer Invitational, firing around of an 85 and looks to improve on that score this season. Scibelli will be joined by senior Dan Harris, who will graduate in December with a degree in hotel administration, and fellow senior Rob Foley. Over the course of his four-year career, Harris has improved his golf game every year and will look to continue to improve in the upcoming season. They will be joined an influx of new top-flight golfers freshmen Cameron D'Agostino and Danny Lumb, who will also the baseball squad this spring, Stephen Peltier, Kevin Fitzpatrick, David Hart and Adam Navarro.

Women's Volleyball Looks to Soar in 2011

In his first year at the helm of the Newbury College women’s volleyball program, Head Coach Chris Taylor led the Nighthawks to the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) semifinals with a 4-3 conference record. With nine players from the 2010 squad returning in 2011, the Nighthawks look to be a strong contender for the conference title.

2010 Review

Newbury earned their second trip to the semifinal round, hosted by Daniel Webster College, in Nashua by rallying from an 0-2 hole against Elms College in the conference quarterfinals. In the Nighthawks first home NECC post-season match, Jessy Touron registered 14 of her game-high 26 kills in games three through five leading the charge to the 3-2 win and a date with the Daniel Webster College Eagles in the semifinals. Despite falling to the Eagles, 3-1, in the semifinals, Regina Sibilia earned NECC All Tournament Team honors tallying 24 set assists.

The Agawam native was not the only Nighthawk to garner All-Conference honors in 2010. Middle blocker Stephanie Williams and 2011 graduate, Amy Chen received All-NECC Honorable Mention honors. Williams led the Nighthawks with 63 total blocks including 40 solos while Chen led the team with 368 defensive digs.

2011 Outlook

Outside Hitters

Senior Tricia Corriveau leads the pack of outside hitters. Corriveau enters her senior season 15 kills shy of 500 in her career at Newbury with 485. She will joined for the second year with Brockton native Jessy Touron, who returns for her sophomore year at Newbury. Touron led the Nighthawks with 220 kills last year and was third tallying 34 total blocks. Fellow senior Felicia Jones will also see time at the outside hitting position over the course of the 2011 season as well.

Setters

One of the more important positions in volleyball is the setter. Juniors Regina Sibilia and Sarah Young bring stability to the position. In addition to earning All Tournament honors at the 2010 NECC Championship, Sibilia surpassed her season-high in set assists registering 570 in 2010 – 252 more than she tallied as a freshman in 2009. Young will also see time some time at the setter position in addition to being an outside hitter.

Right Side Hitters

After solid freshman year in 2009 leading the Nighthawks with 226 kills and second in service aces with 53, Sara Hanna returns to the hard-court for her junior season, highlighting a strong group of right side hitters. Appearing in 77 matches, Leanne Cann has amassed 60 kills and 52 total blocks in her four year career and returns for her senior season. Sarah Young and first year Sydney Fish from Paw Paw, Mich. look to vie for time at the right side.

Middle Blockers

In addition to playing the right side, Fish will also spend some time at middle blocker along with classmate and Denver, Colo. native Lauren Watson-Pierce. Both Fish and Watson-Pierce improve the Nighthawk defense in 2011.

Defensive Specialist/Libero

After Amy Chen graduated last May, the Nighthawks will have four players in the rotation as the defensive specialist. Junior Talia Martinez leads the pack, appearing in 55 matches over her two years at Newbury she has amassed 252 defensive digs in her career. She will split time along with Liz Donofrio, who saw action in 24 sets and returns for her second year. Young and freshman Meghan McDermott round out the group who will also spend some time at libero this season.

Schiavone to Play in 18th Annual Old Time Baseball Game

Newbury College junior Kyle Schiavone (Wethersfield, Conn.) is playing in the 18^th Annual Old Time Baseball Game for the second straight year on Thursday August 11^th at St. Peter's Field in North Cambridge. He will be wearing the 1901 Baltimore Orioles all black uniform with yellow "O" which former Red Sox utility infielder Lou Merloni wore in the 2008 game.

The Old Time Baseball Game has grown from a friendly fundraiser back in 1994 to a celebration of our national pastime. Hosted by Boston Herald columnist Steve Buckley, the game combines today's game of baseball with the throwback uniforms of the last century. Just like a scene out of "Field of Dreams" some of the top collegiate ball players in Greater Boston get back to playing just a fun, neighborhood game of baseball under Danehy Park's bright lights.

It is an honor to be chosen for the Old Time Baseball Game. In 2010, wearing the uniform of the 1920s semi-pro South Philadelphia Hebrew Association, Schiavone played alongside of Matt Gedman, the son of former Red Sox fan favorite Rich Gedman.

Completing his second year at Newbury, Schiavone helped the Nighthawks to their best record (18-17) breaking single season-highs in 10 categories in the process. Primarily anchoring the Nighthawk outfield in centerfield, Schiavone is a career .287 hitter with seven doubles, three triples and three homeruns from the middle of the line-up in his two years wearing Green and Gold.

We urge Nighthawk Nation to come out and support one of our own! Admission to the game is free but officials are encouraging fans to bring lawn chairs or blankets and get there early because space fills up rapidly along both baselines.

What: 18^th Annual Old Time Baseball Game
Where: St. Peter's Field (Danehy Park)
Sherman Street
Cambridge, MA
When: Thursday August 11^th at 7:00pm (Rain Date: Friday August 12^th at 7:00pm)
