ADMINISTRATION
A message from the President
The Community College of Rhode Island Department
of Athletics, its student-athletes, coaches and support
staff represent some of the best of what the college has
to offer. Each and every season, CCRI student-athletes
put on the Knights uniform, step onto the court, field
or track and compete. They represent the college not
only through their performance, but also in spirit. Their
accomplishments, based on a commitment to academics
and athletics, make us proud.
During the 2013-14 academic year, many studentathletes represented CCRI with distinction at the national
level. Several teams were represented at regional,
district and national level competitions.
These experiences are more than just wins and losses in the record books.
They are examples of CCRI student-athletes achieving great things on and off the
field. In the classroom, they discover a new subject, a career field and a love of
learning. In athletics, they acquire the discipline and commitment it takes to reach
their goals. Under the guidance of knowledgeable and caring coaches, they learn
the values of camaraderie, commitment to a common goal and how to win or lose
with grace.
If you are considering CCRI as a prospective student-athlete, I encourage you to
explore what we have to offer academically and athletically.
If you’re simply a fan of the college, I encourage you to attend one of our games
and root for the local team. Go Knights and Lady Knights!
Ray Di Pasquale
President
Mission of the CCRI
Athletic Department
The Community College of Rhode
Island Department of Athletics, Physical
Education and Recreation, an integral
part of the curriculum, is dedicated to
each physical education student and
student-athlete. CCRI provides a high
quality, nationally acclaimed and accredited program that promotes academic and
athletic excellence. The college excels in
sportsmanship, team play and competitive spirit while providing a strong academic foundation and support program.
A message from the Director Of Athletics
Athletics is not about winning. Rather, it is about testing one’s character to the limits; to dig deep when
the chips are down and the time on the clock is running out. As Olympic wrestler Dan Gable once said,
“Gold medals aren’t really made of gold. They’re made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy
called guts.”
The Community College of Rhode Island Department of Athletics provides countless opportunities
for student-athletes to better themselves and face challengeswith strength and resolve. While they are
not competing for a gold medal, the lessons they learn being part of a team and competing are a valuable
component of their CCRI experience. They are lessons that prepare them to succeed in the classroom,
a professional career and beyond.
CCRI athletic teams boast a tradition of excellence with more than 5,300 victories, 213 All-Americans
and 711 All-Region selections. During the 2013-14 academic year, several teams reached the playoffs in
their sport, representing the college at the regional, district and national levels. The foundation behind
those outstanding accomplishments is built on an academic support program and the dedication of CCRI
coaches.
Whatever your athletic dreams might be, consider pursuing them at CCRI and join our tradition of success.

semester, making it the largest comprehensive
community college in New England. Thirty-three
percent of its students identify themselves as part
of a minority group, many of whom are the first
in their families to attend college.

ACADEMICS
CCRI’s Student-Athlete Academic
Support Program (SAASP)
WHERE DO THEY GO
FROM HERE?
The Student-Athlete Academic Support Program at the Community College of
Rhode Island provides a support system for academic success in college. This mandatory program prepares student-athletes for transfer to four-year institutions
where they can continue their education and athletic careers.
During the first semester of their freshman year, student-athletes are required to
complete academic placement tests in reading, writing and mathematics and enroll
in a one-credit CCRI student success course. The program requires student-athletes to attend two, one-hour study sessions each week during the semester, including the off-season, at the college’s academic success centers. The Department
of Athletics compliance officer schedules session times for each student-athlete
and monitors their progress every five weeks during the semester. The program
also provides daily academic advising, counseling and tutorials as well as transfer
counseling.
Prospective student-athletes are encouraged to visit staff, coaches and advisors at
CCRI’s Warwick and Lincoln campuses to learn more about the program and the
college’s varsity teams. Call the Department of Athletics at 401-825-2114 for an
appointment.

ATHLETICS AT CCRI
An overview of CCRI athletics
past and present
The Community College of Rhode Island is home to one of the Ocean State’s
finest and most successful intercollegiate athletic programs. Since its inception in
1965, the CCRI program has long been considered a front-runner in New England
community college and junior college athletic circles.
The basketball, baseball, tennis, volleyball, cross country, golf and soccer teams have
all been nationally ranked. The 2002 women’s soccer team captured the school’s
first national championship, while a number of other squads, including men’s basketball and women’s soccer, were national runners-up. With more than 5,300 victories,
213 All-Americans, 129 Region XXI championships and 711 All-Region selections,
CCRI leads the way among all New England community colleges.
Great coaching has been the key to CCRI’s success. From the athletic department’s
humble beginnings in 1965, the school has always featured legendary coaches. From
Hall of Fame athletic director and men’s basketball coach Vin Cullen to baseball
coaches Whitey Fell and Art Pontarelli, tennis coach Ray Carr and volleyball coach
Gail Davis, the tradition of great coaches and top-flight teaching has extended
through theyears and continues through the present day.

SEASON OUTLOOK
6
With a strong complement of returning veterans
combined with a quality crop of freshmen recruits,
the 2015 CCRI Knights’ baseball team has set its
sights on a return to Enid, Oklahoma, home of the
NJCAA Division II World Series. In order to accomplish this goal, the team has been working extremely
hard for the season with a seven-week training
program. According to head coach Ken Hopkins,
“The Knights have a wealth of depth and experience
at every position. This should lead to a very exciting
season.”
The Knights will be led by returning veterans and
co-captains, TJ Boyajian (Warwick, R.I.) in right field
and Eddie Apice (North Kingstown, R.I.) in center
field along with being a top left handed pitcher in the
region. Coach Hopkins has said, “These two players
are like having two more coaches in the room and
they are counted upon heavily to set an example of
how the team approaches its work ethic and preparation for the season.”
Returning players also include Austin Barry (North
Kingstown, R.I.) in left field and on the mound as well
as James Riley-Garnett (Newport, R.I.), both of whom
will be counted upon for their long ball prowess
and RBI production. Casey Mack (Trumbull, Conn.)
returns at third base and Mike Evans (Warwick, R.I.)
at first base. These players will give the team a strong,
experienced lineup at the corners. Sophomore
transfer, Diego Campos (Providence, R.I.) will provide
the Knights with many options as a designated hitter,
third base, outfielder and pitcher. Coach Hopkins
considers Campos to be the most important utility
player on the team because of his ability to play many
positions. According to Hopkins, “He also gives the
team many options with his bat as he is one of the
better offensive players on the roster.” Steve Adams
(Jacksonville, Fla.) also returns to the lineup as the
team’s catcher and provides a solid bat as well as
strong defense behind the plate.
Quality newcomers, Dave Hopkins (East Greenwich, R.I.), a transfer from URI, will start at second
base, and give the Knights an additional arm on the
mound. Hopkins will bat near the top of the order
to provide quality offense. The only position without
a veteran presence is shortstop, but coach Hopkins
has recruited two quality freshmen to fill the position.
Ramiel Rodriquez (Providence, R.I.) and Derek Estes
(Hyannis, Mass.) will share the shortstop duties.
For the first time in many years, the team has three
quality catchers that will share duties behind the
plate as well as help to keep a deep pitching staff
in shape. Along with Adams, Dan Autiello (Orlando,
Fla.), a transfer from Lake-Sumter State College and
freshman Edison Mercado (Providence, R.I.), a strong
hitting prospect, will compete until someone emerges
to hold down the job.
Recruited freshmen who will compete for playing
time include: Ryan Rotondo, a first team All-Stater
from Bishop Hendricken High School (Warwick, R.I.),
who will compete for time at second base and designated hitter and Brandon Escalante (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.), a solid right fielder and lefty hitter. Colby
Ortega (Kissimmee, Fla.), a strong left handed hitter
will challenge Evans for playing time at first base
and Ernesto Figueroa (Providence, R.I.), a strong and
athletic centerfielder will see plenty of action when
Apice takes the mound.
According to coach Hopkins, success will come
from the reliance of the strength and depth of the
pitching staff.Veterans PJ Watson (Cheshire, Conn.)

and Stew Braman (Middletown, R.I.) will lead a deep but inexperienced staff. Returning veterans
Ben Duarte (East Providence, R.I.) and Ryan Faria (Cranston, R.I.) will see innings, and their
experience brings a wealth of confidence to the team. Newcomers to the staff could be the key
to a very promising season as coach Hopkins has recruited some quality arms that still need to
be tested under pressure in key games. Jack Livingston (East Lyme, Conn.) and Tyler Lamonda
(Auburn, Mass.) are two highly touted recruits that will be relied upon to pitch some big games
for the Knights. The depth of the staff will also be counted upon to eat up many innings with
John Sikie (Cumberland, R.I.) Steve Noti (Warwick, R.I.), Heiker Feliz (Providence, R.I.) and Wally
Luna (Providence, R.I.) all competing for innings out of the bullpen with the potential to move
into the rotation. Apice, Hopkins, Garnett-Riley, Barry and Campos will also be counted on to
supply innings as needed in dual roles. Mike Gallagher (Stoughton, Mass.), a freshman transfer
from URI, has seen much success in practice and may move into the closer role out of the
bullpen.
The team has been working hard since the first week of September, playing a full 30-game fall
schedule, lifting weights and preparing in the off season. It is hoped that the hard work and dedication will be evident as the 2015 Knights set their sights on a return to Enid, Oklahoma. The
team will open their season once again at the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational in Orlando,
Florida.

SEASON SUMMARY
The CCRI Knights baseball team had an outstanding year, ending the season
competing for another Region XXI baseball championship in early May, playing
UConn-Avery Point (UCAP) in the championship series. The Knights won the
first game of the series, 8-0. In the second game, the Knights fought hard in a
game that lasted 10 innings, but fell 3-2, forcing a game three to be played. In the
final game of the series, the Knights lost 4-2, ending the team’s hopes of returning
to the College World Series. The Knights’ season ended with a 22-10 record.
Despite not finishing the season with a championship win, the Knights had
some great individual efforts throughout the season. The team did have some
individual performances that earned players All-Region XXI honors, and those
players included sophomores Eddie Apice, Ryan O’Dell, Jake Tillman and Jake
Waldren. In addition, Apice earned the award for Defensive Player of the Year in
the region.
In 2014, the Knights played a very tough national schedule that was made even
harder by the unpredictible weather during the spring. The rain and cold made
it difficult to play, forcing a number of cancellations and postponements. While
playing against top competition, the Knights played only 11 home games, 22 away
and finished 12 games above .500.
The Knights will return a solid core of players to pair with new talent from
Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Florida, which should lead to some
exciting baseball at Fell field in Warwick during the 2015 season.

SEASON OUTLOOK
14
The 2015 Community College of Rhode Island softball team will strive to once again for
a regional championship. The Lady Knights
will play a very competitive schedule. The
team has been working hard training during
the off-season to refine skills and prepare for
the season opener against Northeastern in
late March.
Head coach Liz Afonso will retun at the
helm of the Lady Knights for her sixth
season. Her staff will consist of Jess Borden,
Caitlin Montella and Nancy Santopadre.
Despite its size, the Lady Knights look to
be solid and true contenders for the 2015
season. The team is returing five sophmores,
led by co-captain Taylor Butler (North Kingstown, R.I.). Butler will lead the team in the
starting pitching rotation and in the outfield.
Her quick bat and ability to get on base will
certainly spark the offense. Maxine DeLuise
(Warwick, R.I.) will step into the important
catching role and with her stong arm and
solid defensive skills, she is a force to be
reckoned with. Ashley Spear (North Smithfield, R.I.) returns to the team at shortstop
and her speed and strength both offensively
and defensively will be an asset to the team.
Jessie Brosnahan (Warwick, R.I.) will see time
at first base, as well as pitcher. Her strength
at the plate will help lead the Lady Knights’
offensive attack. Rounding out the returning sophomores will be Rebecca Edwards
(Attleboro, Mass.), who will be an asset in the
team in the outfield with her consistent and
hard-working style of play.
Joining the returning sophmores are five
freshman recruits, Meghan Rousseau (Richmond, R.I.), Kristina Rodriguez (North Kingstown, RI), Jessica Spargo (Westerly, R.I.), Erica
Jewett (Coventry, R.I.) and Jenna Urso (West
Warwick, R.I.). With tremendous speed,
Rousseau and Rodriquez will be key assets
both in the outfield as well as at the plate.
Spargo and Jewett come in as key recruits
for pitching and hitting stength, as well as
for their strong defensive skills in the infield.
Urso also will add to the infield strength with
her excellent range and solid defensive skills.
According to head coach Afonso, “We
look to be a powerful defensive team with
explosive potential at the plate, a very strong
batting order and speed in the outfield. This
team should definitely be a contender for the
Region XXI title as well as districts.”

SEASON SUMMARY
The CCRI Lady Knights softball team took on Dean College for the
Region XXI championship. In the three-game series, the Knights took
the first two games, 5-0 in the first and 11-3 in the second game. This
matched the Knights against the nationally ranked Mercyhurst North East
College team in the district championship. The Lady Knights fell to Mercyhurst, ending its season with a 12-14 record.
The Lady Knights had five players earn All-Region XXI honors: co-captain
Alex Place (East Greenwich, R.I.), Sarah Deal (North Kingstown, R.I.),
Macayla Paiva (West Greenwich, R.I.), Amber Boucher (Warwick, R.I.) and
Taylor Butler (North Kingstown, R.I.).
As a freshman, Taylor Butler was a top player for the team with 36 hits.
This included three doubles while adding 13 RBIs and 22 runs scored and
11 stolen bases. In the pitching circle, Taylor led the Lady Knights with a
2.75 ERA with 30 strikeouts in 56 innings pitched and was tied for the
team lead with six victories. Returning players Ashley Spear (Harrisville,
R.I.), hit .403 with 17 RBI’s and catcher Samantha Archambault (North
Smithfield, R.I.) hit .379 with 14 RBI’s and will look to help carry the team
in 2015.
With a solid core of returning and new players, the Lady Knights have a
strong team for the 2015 season.

Allen (Warwick, R.I.), a talented player with
tremendous maturity and leadership skills.
Troy Derrick (East Providence, R.I.) will be
bringing a wealth of playing experience to the
team after playing for Rhode Island College
last year. The Knights are fortunate to add
Torin Fenton (South Kingstown, R.I.) to the
team. The South Kingstown native played
under the leadership of the Andy Carr, a former CCRI standout and accomplished South
Kingstown coach. Rounding out the roster
will be Max Mendoza (West Warwick, R.I.)
and Jackie French (Scituate, R.I.).
CCRI is the only opponent in the region
that does not have outdoor tennis courts
and must travel for all matches. Turning what
could be seen as a negative into a positive,
head coach Deb Panzica said, “Our team has
an aggressive travel schedule, but our players
have the opportunity to play against some of
the best JUCO teams and athletes.”

SEASON SUMMARY
The 2014 team was led by first year head coach, Jim Stringfellow, and assistant and longtime CCRI
