The longttime head coach of the Pioneers continued his coaching career as an fifthyyear assistant with the Pioneers. The 2011 season marked his 58th at the ccollegiate level (52 years as Head Coach and six years as an assistant). He was iinducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Jame in JJanuary, 2012.

C.W. POST PIONEERS 2012 SEASON PREVIEW 2012 Baseball After a rebuilding 2011, first year interim head coach Bill Gaffney believes that the experience the young Pioneers gained last season carries over into 2012. Focused on improving last year’s record, the C.W. Post baseball team will focus on making it to the East Coast Conference Championships, then capturing the automatic bid for the NCAA East Regional. “We need to improve our offensive production,” said Gaffney. “We started four freshmen last year in most games and sometimes it is a lot to ask of a freshman to step in and be productive right from the start. Those players are more experienced this year and we have some junior college transfers who will bring additional experience.” Pitching and defense will be the strengths of the Pioneer lineup. Offensively, the team will look to take advantage of a speed-laden lineup to push runs across the plate. “I feel confident that our pitching and defense will keep us in most games and that will allow our more experienced offense an opportunity to do their job,” said Gaffney. back end of the bullpen. Both players have good fastballs and display good athleticism on the mound. Junior Anthony Zapulla (Staten Island, N.Y.) has a good running fastball and will serve as the team’s closer. Senior Steve Plochochi (Sayville, N.Y.) will joint juniors Ryan O’Kelly (New Hyde Park, N.Y.), Brian Tardif (Cutchogue, N.Y.) and John Swertfager (Katonah, N.Y.), sophomores Frank Catalano (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and Brandon Kruel (Sag Harbor, N.Y.) and freshman Tom Kastelan (Deer Park, N.Y.) in adding depth to the pitching staff and looking for time out of the bullpen. Infield Chenicek returns as the starting third baseman when he isn’t on the mound. A standout defensive third baseman with a strong arm, Chenicek will look to increase his offensive production at the plate. He could also shift over to first base to open up a spot in the lineup for sophomore Tom Tolan (Malverne, N.Y.), who is an athletic and fundamentally solid player. Tolan is a contact hitter with good speed and gives Gaffney many Pitching options in the lineup. C.W. Post returns several Junior college transfers veteran starting pitchers, includKeith Herring (New York, ing 2011 ECC Second Team N.Y.) and Angel Pimentel righthander Bo Budkevics (New York, N.Y.) will solidify (Deer Park, N.Y.), who will serve the middle infield.

He will also be counted on as a run producer in 2012 Baseball Media Guide 2011 Women’s Lacrosse Media Guide 10 C.W. POST PIONEERS 2012 Baseball Outfield The outfield will be manned by Rich Maccarone (Glen Cove, N.Y.) who will take over in center field after a solid rookie year where he played both infield and outfield. Maccarone has adjusted well to his new position and his superlative speed helps him cover a lot of ground and track down balls in the gap. In left field will be sophomore Vinny Iacono (Nesconset, N.Y.), who joins the baseball team full-time after a year as a member of both the baseball and football teams. Iacono is a solid outfielder with good speed and surprising pop in his bat that will help increase the Pioneers’ run production. Simone will be the starting right fielder and in games where he goes behind the plate, junior transfer Gabriel Santos (Jamaica, N.Y.) will play right. Santos is a tall, strong player with good power at the plate and solid defensive skills. Senior Steve Smith (West Islip, N.Y.), junior David Saldana (Deer Park, N.Y.), and sophomore Ryan Sloane (Westbury, N.Y.) will add depth in the outfield. Smith is a veteran player and a solid outfielder, while Saldana has excellent speed and could see later innings in the field as a defensive replacement. Sloane is another option for the Pioneers as he saw some starts in his rookie season and showed potential at the plate. Outlook The Pioneers will start the season with a five-game trip to South Carolina, before hosting a handful of games at home, including traditionally strong Stonehill College in a doubleheader on March 4. The team will travel to Winter Park, Fla., for a seven-game swing, highlighted by nationally-ranked Rollins College on March 16, before returning home to begin ECC play against University of Bridgeport on March 21. “We have stressed the need to play hard and hustle,” said Gaffney. “The team has worked hard on the fundamentals; both defensively and offensively.

Anthony Corona 2012 Baseball Media Guide 2012 SEASON PREVIEW the heart of the Pioneers’ lineup. Matt Simone (West Babylon, N.Y.), also the team’s starting right fielder, will serve as Corona’s backup. He has a quick release behind the plate that will keep runners in check and good speed that will put him at the top of the lineup. Seniors Paul DelGiacco (Levittown, N.Y.) and Dan Burnett (Farmingdale, N.Y.) will be the bullpen catchers and will also push for at-bats in pinch hitting roles. Senior Nick Compito (Syosset, N.Y.) will serve as a backup infielder while also getting time in the lineup as the designated hitter. Sophomore Anthony Brunetti (Bayville, N.Y.) makes his baseball debut after two seasons as a standout running back for the Pioneer football team. Brunetti has a powerful bat from the left side of the plate and could play one of the corner infield positions as well as time at designated hitter. Tolan is another option at DH, while sophomore Connor Coman (Bay Shore, N.Y.) will be a solid backup middle infielder and an option as a pinch hitter or pinch runner. C.W.

POST PIONEERS EAST COAST CONFERENCE 2012 Baseball In July of 2006 the conference formerly known as the New York Collegiate Athletic Conference adopted a new name, the East Coast Conference (ECC), and branding, reflective of the growth the league experienced since debuting in 1988. The conference was formed to enhance intercollegiate athletic competition among member institutions and to assist them in integrating their athletics into their academic program in a fiscally sound way. The ECC is committed to the highest standards of scholarship, sportsmanship, teamwork, and citizenship. Its mission is to promote the total person concept in its student-athletes, which stresses the abilities to excel in academic achievement, athletic competition, and positive character traits. ECC members for 2011-2012 include: University of Bridgeport (Conn.); C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University (Brookville, N.Y.); University of the District of Columbia; Dowling College (Oakdale, N.Y.); Mercy College (Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.); Molloy College (Rockville Centre, N.Y.); New York Institute of Technology (Old Westbury, N.Y.); Queens College (Flushing, N.Y.); and St. Thomas Aquinas College (Sparkill, N.Y.). The ECC sponsors the following championship sports: baseball; men’s and women’s basketball; men’s and women’s cross country; men’s and women’s lacrosse; softball; men’s and women’s tennis; men’s and women’s soccer; and women’s volleyball. The East Coast Conference is a proud member of the NCAA and Division II. Division II is a dynamic and engaging group of colleges, institutions and conferences of varying sizes and educational missions. Division II members encourage and support diversity; value sportsmanship, fairness and equity; and place the highest priority on the overall educational excellence of the student-athlete. 2010 ECC FINAL STANDINGS Conference School W-L Pct. 1 Molloy * 22-8 0.733 2 Bridgeport 21-9 0.700 3 Dowling 17-13 0.567 4 STAC 15-15 0.500 C.W.

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 third edition, was described by U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Nicholas Platt as “the best singlevolume guide to understanding the Philippines, past and present.” He also edited and co-authored both editions of “In Search of Southeast Asia,” one of the major textbooks on the area. Dr. Steinberg 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.
