Canney tied the Greyhounds' single-season record of 51 receptions set last year by senior wide out JAKE BEERS (Duxbury, MA/Duxbury) and became the first sophomore to reach 1,000 yards in receiving yardage. He now has 83 career receptions for 1,033 yards---the seventh Greyhound to reach that plateau. For the season he has 715 receiving yards---only the third Greyhound with over 700 yards.

In addition, freshman running back HERB WOODARD (Salem, NJ/Salem) (26 carries, 74 yards, 1 TD), sophomore linebacker DUSTIN ZITZMANN (Pinellas Park, FL/Dixie Hollins) eight (5-3--8) tackles played well in support roles. The Greyhounds moved to a 7-0 lead in the second period as Woodard capped a two-play drive with a one-yard touchdown plunge. Eisele kicked the conversion.

The Greyhounds drove 32 yards in two plays for their only touchdown of the game. Freshman tackle MIKE FOLEY (Holden, MA/Saint John's)---Mike's father, Brian '73, was a baseball standout with the Greyhounds---forced and recovered a fumble by running back Deric Dudinski to start the march.

On the first play Humphrey found freshman tight end ERIC SCHINDLER (Kenilworth, NJ/Brearley) open down-the-middle for 31 yards to set up the Woodard score. Explorer linebacker Wayne Donahue made a score-saving tackle on the Schindler reception. The Greyhounds would fumble away another scoring opportunity as corner John Costello recovered for the Explorers in the endzone and a interception by safety Jake Cornely stopped the ensuing series.

The Greyhounds would stop LaSalle in the third quarter as junior safety CHRIS MARTINO (Lincroft, NJ/Middletown South) made his fourth interception of the season (all in the last four games). Martino is now the varsity career leader with 10.

On the next series, freshman linebacker JEFF LONGLEY (Browns Mill, NJ/Holy Cross) forced and recovered a fumble on a punt to set up the next scoring opportunity. Humphrey connected with Canney for 32 yards and Woodard added an 11-yard scamper around right end to highlight the march. Eisele's attempted 27 yard field goal was blocked and recovered by LaSalle linebacker Casey Walsh.

The Explorers tied the game driving 58 yards in seven plays late in the fourth period. Running back Dave Macknet scored from a yard out and placekicker Anthony Perlozzi kicked the game-tying conversion with 6:14 remaining.

Quarterback Joe Procopio, who rushed for a game-high 95 yards on 11 carries, completed back-to-back passes to wide receiver Shane Kendrick for seven and then 48 yards (on a third-and-three play) for his only two receptions of the game. Hounds' corner MIKE MOONAN (West Seneca, NY/West Seneca West) made a touchdown-saving tackle at the Greyhounds' four. Dudinski ran for a yard before senior end JARED KELLY (Canton, MA/Xaverian) tackled Procopio for a five-yard loss. An offside penalty against the Greyhounds however reestablished LaSalle at the one setting up the score.

The Greyhounds would then drive for the game-winner on the ensuing series.
After Perlozzi kicked off into the endzone for a touchback the Hounds moved downfield. First Woodard for seven yards, then Humphrey for five yards on a keeper for a first down on a third-and-three play. Humphrey then found Beers over-the-middle for 43 yards to the LaSalle 25.

Woodard ran twice for two yards to the 21 and then Humphrey connected with Beers on a 21-yard slant for an apparent touchdown. Pass interference against Beers negated the score and the same duo combined for just four yards on the next play setting the stage for Eisele's heroics with 2:04 left.

Moonan intercepted Procopio to finalize the Explorers last drive with 14 seconds left.

LAST YEAR'S GAME: L.I.U.-C.W. POST 28, ASSUMPTION 7
BROOKVILLE, NY --- Running back Anthony Lazarus scored two second half touchdowns and rushed for 77 yards to lead 24th-ranked C.W. Post past stubborn Assumption, 28-7, in the Northeast-10 opener for both teams at rain soaked Hickox Field.

The Greyhounds dominated the first-half statistics playing to a 7-7 stalemate with the defending conference champions. Assumption held a 21:00-9:00 minute advantage in possession time and a 9-5 edge in first downs.

C.W. Post got on the board 16 seconds into the second period driving 58 yards in just four plays capped by a 49-yard scoring pass from quarterback Nick Georgetti to wide out Jamie Kilcullen. Andrew Kroell (Baldwin, NY/Baldwin) kicked the conversion point.

The Greyhounds tied the game with 40 seconds left in the half as senior quarterback Joe Correia (Melrose, MA) found junior wide out JAKE BEERS (Duxbury, MA/Duxbury) in the back of the end zone for the score. Senior Mike Tobin (Woburn, MA) kicked the conversion.

The nine-play, 56-yard drive started when senior linebacker Mark Cinar (Watertown, MA) intercepted at the Hounds' 41. Correia found freshman DAVID CANNEY (Templeton, MA/Narragansett) for 11 yards---the first collegiate reception for the fourth-leading Massachusetts high school scorer (271 points)--- and then connected with junior tight end JAKE LONGENECKER (Fernandina, FL/Manchester, NH West) twice for seven and nine yards. Senior running back Kevin L'Ecuyer (Leominster, MA) scampered 20 yards to set up the score. L'Ecuyer led the Hounds with 69 yards on 25 carries.

Cornerback Javien Eason made the first of his two interceptions with 1:09 left in the third period. His ensuing 37-yard return set up the Pioneers at the Hounds 15. Georgetti ran around right end to the seven---a touchdown saving tackle made by Cinar---and Lazarus scampered for five more to the two. Lazarus' two-yard off-tackle slant put the Pioneers in front to stay. Kroell's conversion made it 14-7.

C.W. Post would score two touchdowns in the final 7:57, the first capping a short drive after a fourth-and-one attempt by the Greyhounds fell short and the second coming after a second Eason interception.

Correia's quarterback sneak on a fourth-and-inches play at the Assumption 32 fell short as the Pioneers' defensive end Maurice Baker and linebacker Matt Albanese combined to make the game-clinching stop.

Georgetti completed three straight passes to wide receiver Chris Bone for eight yards, to tight end Mike Moran for 11 more and finally to wide out Jo-el Kimaiyo for eight yards to the Assumption five. Lazarus capped the short drive with a two-yard slant off left tackle and Kroell kicked the conversion.

Eason then picked off his second pass of the game on the Hounds' first play of the next series. The Pioneers drove 45 yards in just five plays---a major penalty and a 14-yard pass to Bone highlighted the march capped by a Georgetti seven-yard keeper. Kroell's conversion made the final 28-7.

GREYHOUND GAME NOTES: leading tacklers for the Greyhounds were senior linebacker Mark Cinar (Watertown, MA) (3-8--11), junior linebacker TONY SAVARESE (Simsbury, CT/Simsbury) (5-5--10), junior defensive end JARED KELLY (Canton, MA/Xaverian) (4-5--9) and freshman linebacker DUSTIN ZITZMANN (Pinellas Park, FL/Dixie Hollins) (2-7--9) . . .

Greyhounds Open Practice With Extended Optimism

LAST YEAR: the reviews for the second year in the second Serge DeBari regime were mixed. The team had five players average 8.9 points or more in very balanced offense . . . they outrebounded their opponents . . . and, they beat a nationally ranked Saint Rose team down-the-stretch as DeBari joined the ranks of 300-game winners. But, instead of playing off-the-momentum of that choice victory they lost their final four games including a first-round conference playoff with Saint Michael's . . . they did shoot just .416 from the floor and and .323 from three-point territory and they averaged just 69.7 points per game . . . the team won at UMass Lowell (68-62) for the second straight year as PAT SHEA (Salem, MA/Salem) dropped in 21, mostly from long range . . . and they claimed a 76-61 win at American International rallying from a seven-point halftime deficit as COREY DIETHORN (Pittsburgh, PA/Sewickley) blistered for a career-high 30 points (13 for-19 from the floor).

THE NON-RETURNERS: DeBari will miss the services of forward/two-year captain Justin Hotchkiss (Maynard, MA/Maynard/Cushing) who averaged just 3.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in an injury-plagued season . . . sharpshooting guard Mike Taft (Avon, CT/Avon) averaged 4.7 points off-the-bench but did make 24 three pointers (third on the club) including a career-best 17 in a 97-88 win over Merrimack.

RETURNING NUCLEUS: DeBari will mold the 2006-07 Greyhounds around that balanced offense of a year ago. Ssenior forward/two-year captain GREG TWOMEY (Groton, MA/Groton-Dunstable), the Hounds resident work-a holic and 1,700 point producer in high school, averaged a team-leading 13.4 points, 5.5 rebounds. shot a team-leading .483 from the floor. Twomey was spectacular (25 points) in a tough loss at nationally ranked Bentley and registered 20 double figure games . . . he had 26 points (tied career high) with 12-for-12 at the line at Stonehill . . . led the team in free throw accuracy (.807).

Senior forward COREY DIETHORN (Pittsburgh, PA/Sewickley Academy) averaged 11.5 points and shot .460 from the field and led the team with 35 blocks . . . 16 double-figure games including seven double-doubles . . . had 24 in a win at Merrimack and 22 in a win at Saint Anselm.

Senior guard LEROY BYRON (Worcester, MA/North) was the Hounds top perimeter player and averaged 8.9 points while playing over 800 minutes for the second straight year. Byron had 12 double-figure games . . . led the team with 40 three-pointers . . . career-high 20 points at Mercyhurst (with six three-pointers) and had 17 points in a win over Adelphi (with 10-for-10 free throws).

Junior guard/forward PATRICK SHEA (Salem, MA/Salem) who at times was a deft passing machine and at other times showed signs of being a premier perimeter shooter . . . had career-best 24 points (five three-pointers) in upset of nationally ranked Saint Rose . . . 21 points (with six three-pointers) in win at UMass Lowell . . . first career double-double 19 points, 10 rebounds in home win over Le Moyne.

Sophomore guard COURTLAND BLUFORD (Fort Washington, MD/Saint Vincent Pallotti) averaged 9.3 points (fourth on team) in 871 minutes (second only to Twomey) and team-leading 47 steals . . . 13 double-figure games . . . 18 points at Bryant and at Saint Michael's . . . 17 points vs. S. New Hampshire and vs. Saint Rose . . . senior forward MIKE FOTI (Franklin, MA/Franklin), who scored over 1,100 points in high school, averaged 4.7 points with four double-figure games . . . had 19 points in win at Southern Connecticut and 18 in win at Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras.

THE SUPPORTING CAST: mention keys to the team and the name of junior point guard MITCH BAJEMA (Whitinsville, MA/Whitinsville Christian) comes up often . . . Bajema led his high school team to a pair of state championships and will be counted on to drive the Greyhound's bus and plainly get the ball to the right place . . . hyper senior forward ALEX POPP (pronounced Pope) (Winchester, MA/Winchester) specializes in making things happen . . . sophomore forward MAREK KULIG (Brick, NJ/Msgr. Donovan) is back after an injury-plagued season . . . sophomore forward RENAN MALAFAIA (Watertown, CT/Newton, MA North/Taft added considerable athleticism to the roster and showed things in a nine point, 10 rebounds effort at Puerto Rico Rio Piedras and three double-figure rebound games.

NEW PEOPLE: freshman forward MIKE BALDARELLI (Worcester, MA/Holy Name) moved across town and will be counted on to move into the regular rotation. Baldarelli was the Massachusetts Player of the Year leading his team to the state title game and averaged 22.3 points and 11.2 rebounds . . . sophomore transfer (Hampton Institute) guard WALTER WEEKES (Worcester, MA/Holy Name) and freshman walkon TOBIN HAASE (Ridgefield, Nj/Ridgefield Park) have impressed in preseason workouts. Another freshman, DOMINIQUE PRICE (Worcester, MA/Holy Name), who is also playing football, will add more athleticism.

THIS YEAR: DeBari will build his new-look 2007-08 Greyhounds in the same mold of the many successful Greyhound teams of the past. Expect the Greyhounds to lead the league in diving on-the-floor and expect the team to play physical and aggressive defense.

He is asking Bluford to move to the point this year and also needs substantial offense from his athletic guard. Twomey needs to at least repeat his statistics of a year ago, Diethorn needs to get his floor accuracy in the mid-.500s and Byron needs to get back to his sophomore year consistency. Key man might just be Shea, who has shown signs of being the top perimeter player on the squad and at other times the team's best passer.

Offense predicated off switching defenses is always the order of the day with the more-than-occasional three thrown in. The Hounds are now as athletic as anyone in the conference which will make them a tough assignment on any given night.

A sidelight this year will the Hounds race to the magical 1,000-victory mark (they have 990 entering the year!) . . . no New England Division II team has ever reached that plateau!

Northeast-10 Conference playoffs: March 2, 4, 7, 9 (12 teams)

Hounds Optimistic About Return to NCAA Post-Season!

LAST YEAR: the reviews for last year were mixed to say the least. The team reached the Northeast-10 Conference playoffs but their 13-16 overall record was a "disappoinment" according to Coach KERRY PHAYRE. The needs were easily seen on the statistics sheet . . . a more prominent guard situation in which the perimeter game improves significantly and someone steps up to run the offense. The team shot just .407 from the floor despite having one of the dominant inside games in the conference and just .304 from three-point territory. And, the Greyhounds have not had a 100-assist performer since 2001-02.

Overall the team finished with six wins in its last 10 starts including an 85-70 gem against nationally ranked Saint Rose and a come-from-behind road win at Franklin Pierce in the conference playoffs.

THE NON-RETURNERS: Phayre will first deal with the loss of starting guard Jess Paulson (North Providence, RI/LaSalle Academy), who played in more games than anyone in Hounds history. Paulson averaged 6.0 points, led the team with 92 assists and was third with 19 thee-pointers. Reserve guard Ashley Lambert (Cumberland, RI/Cumberland) averaged 2.3 points.

RETURNING NUCLEUS: Phayre will mold the 2007-08 Greyhounds around the marvelous talents of one of the Northeast-10 Conference's premier players in junior forward/captain CHARDE FLOYD (Worcester, MA/Worcester Academy). Floyd was second on the team at 12.2 points-per-game and was the conference leader in rebounds (9.8) for the second straight year and floor accuracy (.583), while earning second-team all-star honors. She also finished with 19 double figure scoring games (52 career) and eight double-doubles (39 in her career). Her top effort was 25 points, 11 rebounds in the win over nationally ranked Saint Rose.

Floyd will be the "marked player" once again for the Greyhounds as she moves into hallowed territory in the team record book. She needs 25 points for 1,000 and 193 rebounds for 1,000---she will become merely the fourth Greyhound to reach both figures!

The Greyhounds resident director of determination junior guard/captain BETHANY PLASSKI (Fall River, MA/Durfee) averaged a team-leading 12.9 points and led the team in three-pointers (55), free throw accuracy (.835), minutes played (955) and was second in steals (62) and assists (67) and, oddly enough, third in rebounding (3.3). She authored six 20-point games including a career-best 29 in a road win at Southern New Hampshire; 23 in a road win at Saint Michael's (including 17 in a blistering second half display) and 22 at Bryant.

Senior guard/captain BRITT BISHOP (Mendon, MA/Nipmuc) is the Greyhounds top defensive performer and averaged 4.8 points. Her top efforts included a career-best 13 points in a closer game at national champion Southern Connecticut and 12 in the first-round playoff win at Franklin Pierce.

Freshman forward KAYLA PARKER (Sanford, ME/Sanford) averaged 10.5 points and 4.1 rebounds en route her selection on the conference all-freshman team. She poured in 22 points with 13 rebounds in a win at Merrimack and added 14 other double-figure games. She finished third on the team in floor accuracy (.517) and led the team with 24 blocks.

Senior forward/center MEGAN URBAN (Portland, ME/Deering) is the other half of the Greyhound twin-towers and averaged 6.8 points, 3.4 rebounds with .520 floor accuracy. She scored 19 second-half points in a dominatign performance against Saint Rose with five other double-figure games.

Junior point TRISH GARDNER (Dartmouth, MA/Dartmouth) averaged 1.8 points with 56 assists but will counted on to provide on court leadership as the odds on-choice to win the point guard spot. Early reviews from preseason are exciting the coaching staff.

Senior forward SARA CZARNECKI (Cumberland, RI/Cumberland) (2.0 ppg), sophomore guard LESLIE LUPIEN (Pomfret Center, CT/Woodstock) (2.1 ppg), sophomore guard AMANDA SHEEHY (Linde, NJ/Rosell Catholic) (1.7 ppg) and sophomore guard MAEGAN COOK (Braintree, MA/Braintree) provided depth. Another guard, sophomore JACKIE BRANCA (Hanson, MA/Whitman Hanson) missed the season with an knee problem.

NEW PEOPLE: athletic forward PAM MOBLEY (Worcester, MA/Doherty), who will bring yet another polished frontcourt player to the equation and was a dominant rebounder and shotblocker for her high school team . . . point THERESA AMELIO (Bronx, NY/Preston) adds quickness and depth to the backcourt and guard MOLLY GRIFFITHS (Walpole, MA/Ursuline) is a versatile offensive performer both from the perimeter and taking the ball to the basket.

THIS YEAR: Phayre will build her new-look 2007-08 Greyhounds in the same mold of her many successful teams of the past and therefore expect the Hounds to lead the league in physical and aggressive defense. Their dominant inside game should once again play a prominent role as Floyd, Urban, and Parker are as solid a threesome as there is in the conference.

Plasski is a top-notch performer at the off-guard and Bishop is the most cerebral, and top defensive, player on the squad. Phayre needs to increase production from the rest of the backcourt contributors both in the perimeter and ballhandling departments. Overall this team can hopefully set its sights high with a return to the N.C.A.A. postseason.
