"My teammates and I-in this last year together I feel like we really accomplished something more. We set standards and purpose for the underclassmen to follow and showed them what leadership and community were all about."

"I had a coach who had a distant connection to Coach Murphy. He said if I came to Bentley I'd get the best-in-class business education I wanted with the playing time I felt I could really deliver on. I loved the combination that is so critical to the coaches, the balance between work on the field and in our degrees. By the time we were seniors, we were really ready to take a larger role, so my teammates and I got a whiteboard, set down our goals and values, for the team. It set our foundation, and from there we just accomplished so much."

David was a co-captain of Bentley Lacross in his final year, and tried to model the mix of performance, grace, and determination every day for his team. "I tried to always be aware of the guys who might feel out of place, or might feel left behind. Tried to bring the team together so we could play as a cohesive mix-and get the best out of them and me." He's planning on going to law school and intends to use his sports background to work in the sports industry in some way. "We did so much together, went so far, and built a really strong team. I'm pretty certain they'll be a better team for our work."

"In running and in my academics, I'm going to put in the work to make whatever I'm doing the best it can be."

"I've been running since I was in 3rd grade; in fact I can't imagine not doing it. I do cross country and track, the 800 meters and the mile, which is my favorite. My coach has been great-Kevin Curtain Curtin. Every year, I felt like I was helped to accomplish my goals academically and athletically, culminating in some personal bests, like the season-opener at the Hartford Invitational with a 3K time of 10:59.1. I was Captain of the team as well. It takes a lot to balance it all, but the coaches and my teammates were unbelievable, and I loved it all."

Caitlin is a recent Bentley graduate who plans to start work at KPMG in August.

"You don't have to be on the field to be a leader.

"I've always been a driven person, so both times I had season-ending injuries, I kept at it, managing the team on the sidelines, training and getting back in playing shape." Amber Kiricoples personifies the idea of giving it her all. This year's women's lacrosse team co-captain, Amber is the also Athletic Student body President, pursuing getting her Accelerated Master's Degree, leading a Bentley chapter of the mental health organization Morgan's Message and a member of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee.

Now, on track to graduate with her MBA next spring, Amber chalks up her success here to one thing: resilience. Amber, we're with you all the way.

"I worked with these two brothers-both really competitive on the court or on the field; they were pushing each other, pressing each other's buttons. But when they got done, they were just great kids. They just needed the outlet."

"We work with this program called Boston Scores. So, our team invites about 40 kids from the area clubs and schools to come, play a soccer with some of our guys, maybe get coached, and just hang and talk. It's maybe a little like mentoring, but mostly just a chance for us to help these kids channel their energy into good places, whatever the sport. You see this stuff, the kids getting excited about the game and wanting to talk to guys a little bit older, going to college, and you realize how important it is."

Cam was brought to Bentley last year for his graduate studies by coach Gary Crompton. "He just made me realize how many of the team's goals and mine aligned. I had two years of eligibility left and I was convinced this was the place for me." Cam was starting goalkeeper for Falcons Soccer this year, and is channeling the work he's been doing in the community into a job at a startup called The ProProject, and the soccer school they're working to scale called Center of Excellence. With just one year left to play, Cam hopes to help translate his Bentley MBA into either a job at this organization or another sports business. "I'm a pretty goal-oriented person. Being at Bentley is helping me achieve the things I set out to do and give something back to the community as I do it. It's been really great."

"I've been playing softball since I was 5. Yet these last four years have been something special. We improved every year, and by the time I was done, I was captain of a team that got in the NCAA tournaments twice and had the team moving forward set up for success."

"I've been playing outfield since I can remember. I've always loved it. And while I knew I didn't have a "softball" career ahead of me, I came on the team determined to really commit to it every year. We, as a team, did the hard work to have record breaking year each year. We were all just incredibly close and supportive of each other, and it paid off."

Jordan, a Bentley left fielder, helped the Falcons rise to their first NCAA Division II regional appearance in program history, and was selected to the NFCA Division II All-East Region first team by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association. She was not only an All-Northeast-10 first-team honoree for two years running, she was the all-time homerun hitter, with 64 homeruns under her belt. little bit older, going to college, and you realize how important it is."

A recent Bentley graduate, Jordan majored in marketing with double minors in psychology and sports management and is looking forward to achieving her longtime goal of Sports Management. She found Bentley's small class sizes helpful in her quest to do it all, sports and academics, because she could build relationships with professors, asking questions, moving herself forward while also holding a pivotal role on the team. "I loved my team and my teammates but Bentley prepares you to move on, and I'm ready."

"In running and in my academics, I'm going to put in the work to make whatever I'm doing the best it can be."

"Growing up, I stayed with my grandmother, who made sure I got the chance to play. I had always been a running back throughout high school. But my position coach saw me as a wide receiver from the start. I was scared but I worked hard, and it paid off. I had a 1,000-yard season, which was the first in five years for Bentley. That year I averaged 100 yards a game. Since then, I've continued that trajectory, winning the Northeast-10 MVP, New England All-American Division II-III All-Star, and honorable mention All-American. Plus I've also , plus I've had the chance to become a leader for my team."

As a graduate student in marketing-he hopes to be a sports marketer in time-Rashon will play again one last year at Bentley, something he is excited to take on. "Beyond my coach, who has been amazing, Vaughn has always had our backs, making sure he and the coaches kept a strong connection to us and making sure we balanced our sports with our academics. They say it takes a village, and here it did."

One of the new initiatives for Bentley University Athletics during the fall semester was the creation of the Captains Council.

"The purpose of the Captain's Council is to increase our focus on this important role across Bentley Athletics to further develop these leaders for their individual growth, to help these leaders have a more positive impact on the growth of their respective teams, and to establish and share a unifying and ever-expanding "Falcon Way" of best practices for current and future Bentley Captains," said Grace Carter, Bentley's Manager of Student-Athlete Development.

"We began this fall with an inaugural Council comprised of all the captains that have been selected from across all sports. We ensure they know each other, train them about good leadership practices, share existing best practices between teams, and help them each see areas where they have opportunities to improve," continued Carter.

"Developing leaders is in the DNA of Bentley and we're excited to establish the Captains Council as a new annual program that both helps our captains and the teams they lead," said Director of Athletics Vaughn Williams.

"I found the Captains Council to be a special opportunity for the captains of each team to come together, share experiences, and learn from one another," said graduate student and women's basketball captain Maggie Whitmore. "Whether appointed by fellow teammates or coaches, each captain brought a unique perspective and valuable insights. These sessions went beyond surface-level discussions, diving into reflective exercises and open conversations that encouraged each of us to assess and enhance our leadership abilities.

"I gained key takeaways into my strengths as a leader, identified areas for improvement, and explored strategies to apply within my team," continued Whitmore. "Additionally, we read The Captain Class by Sam Walker to open our eyes to the characteristics of the best leaders in sports. Drawing on the deeper messages of the book and utilizing the legendary minds of Coach (Barbara) Stevens and Professor (Rick) Miller, we all walked away with a leadership toolbox that will go far beyond the world of sports.

Hockey captain Ethan Leyh, Bentley's Outstanding Male Senior Athlete for 2023-24, said "two takeaways I had from the sessions were how lucky we were to have such good mentors running the sessions and being able to learn and pick from their brains is something that I am very grateful for.

"I also loved the fact that we could compare and contrast with other captains on what works for them and what they feel like they could improve on," added Leyh. "This gave me an opportunity to look at factors that I may have never thought of and how I can incorporate that kind of leadership into myself."

As Whitmore mentioned, one of the activities of the Council was reading "The Captain Class" and meeting to discuss it over five sessions. The captains also had the opportunity to meet with Walker via Zoom and participate in a Q&A session.

In his book, Walker, a leadership and team-building consultant, identifies the seven qualities of the Captain Class - from extreme doggedness and emotional control to tactical aggression and the courage to stand apart.

The Be a Force Speaker Series was created by Rick Miller '80, the Executive-in-Residence for Bentley Athletics, and Grace Carter, the Manager for Student-Athlete Development at Bentley. The program connects student-athletes with former student-athletes who are role models that maintained their high levels of success after graduation, in both their careers and in their commitment to community service.

This year's lineup featured the following impressive speakers:

September 24, 2024 - Tamika Catchings, former WNBA basketball legend, 4-time gold medalist, Indiana Fever VP/GM of Basketball Operations, and current Basketball Analyst for ESPN, Owner of Tea's Me Cafe, and Founder of the Catch the Stars Foundation 501(c)3.

She graduated with a 3.83 GPA. After graduation, she excelled as an Emmy Award winning reporter, and after receiving her J.D. from Notre Dame, she began a law practice that still thrives today.

December 3, 2024 - Andy Cain, a 2023 Academic All-America Hall-of-Famer who still holds school records at Rose-Hulman College including career ERA (1.99) and complete games (31) and ranks highly in innings pitched (312) and strikeouts (258), while earning Academic All-America honors in 1999. He earned an MBA from the Naval Postgraduate School and currently serves as one of the twelve commanders of America's premier nuclear submarines.

Jan. 30, 2025 - Nancy Hogshead is an Olympian, civil rights lawyer, law professor, and women's sports advocate. Hogshead, who received the Kiphuth Award as the nation's best all-around swimmer in 1984, qualified for the Olympics twice, in 1980 when the United States boycotted and in 1984, which were held in Los Angeles. She became the most decorated swimmer of those Games, earning three gold medals and a silver.

Bentley University is excited to unveil a new collaboration with Boston Scores, a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to helping urban youth build essential life skills and character through soccer and team-based enrichment programs. Launched in 1999 as the first regional affiliate of the America Scores network, Boston Scores traces its origins back to the 1994 World Cup and was founded by public school teacher Julie Kennedy in Washington, D.C. Boston Scores provides free programs to nearly 1,500 students in grades K-12 each year, partnering with over 30 schools and community-based programs. This emerging collaboration between Bentley and Boston Scores, rooted in a shared dedication to empowering youth and fostering community engagement, represents a significant advancement in the missions of both organizations.

This emerging collaboration between Bentley and Boston Scores, rooted in a shared dedication to empowering youth and fostering community engagement, represents a significant advancement in the missions of both organizations.

"Boston Scores is excited to partner with Bentley University to support the college and career readiness efforts of the students who participate in our organization's after-school soccer programs," said John Maconga, executive director for Boston Scores. "We look forward to growing the partnership in ways that enhance Bentley's community engagement and enable Boston Scores to serve more students with a deeper impact."

Recognizing the significant potential of this collaboration and its ability to support Bentley's 2030 Strategic Plan aimed at advancing community engagement, faculty member and former Bentley student-athlete Rick Miller '80 initiated contact between the Boston Scores team and various campus stakeholders. Bentley's athletic department has signed on to support the development of young athletes, while the Center for Women in Business was brought on to offer program enrichment focused on cultivating leadership skills acquired through team sports. "To increase the representation of women at all levels of the corporate leadership pipeline, we need to engage girls with business early and often and meet them where they are. Our partnership with Boston Scores, an organization serving communities in Boston, supports Bentley's commitment to access and opportunity and our continued investment in using business education to promote the economic mobility of girls, women and their families," said Yaro Fong-Olivares, executive director of the Center for Women and Business.

Over the past six months, representatives from both organizations have engaged in collaborative efforts, both virtually and in person, to shape a shared vision and strategy for the partnership. In March, Bentley hosted a group of 40 high school students from Boston Scores, providing them with a campus tour and a soccer clinic, both led by members of the women's soccer team and head coach Sarah Dacey. During the campus tour, students visited the Center for Women and Business and Bentley's Trading Room, where they gained insights into campus life, asked for tips for the college application process, and discovered how a business degree could support their future entrepreneurial goals. The day concluded with students sharing a meal and attending a Bentley men's soccer match.

Reflecting on the experience, a Boston Scores participant from the Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers High School said: "While touring the Bentley University campus, I realized that it is huge, pretty and filled with classrooms that exceeded my expectations. On the soccer field, through the different drills and activities, I learned more about what it takes to play in college." A Boston Scores participant from Brighton High School added, "I learned more about the campus, and I really loved the environment; I also got interested in finance and business. I will definitely apply to that university. I felt that they are a very close and connected community, which is amazing because you can make a lot of friends and be involved with the community." "This partnership is a testament to Bentley's dedication to community engagement and empowering the next generation," said Vaughn Williams, Bentley's athletics director. "Bentley Athletics, the Center for Women and Business, and Boston Scores will form a formidable team, serving as a win-win partnership to support an organization making a tangible impact in the Boston community."

The partners look forward to building on the success of the March event and continuing to create impactful opportunities for young people.

DeFelice's tenure as director of Athletics featured growth, success on the playing fields and excellence in the classroom for Falcon student-athletes.

"Coach DeFelice's most lasting legacy will be that of an educator," said J. Andrew Shepardson, Bentley's vice president for Student Affairs and dean of students. "His own successful athletic career, unparalleled coaching prowess, and creativity as an athletics administrator are memorable, but his focus on the power of education to transform lives was his passion. It was true for him personally and true for the hundreds of athletes he supported and inspired on their academic and personal journeys. His legacy will live on in their success."

"The magnitude of Coach DeFelice's influence and leadership on Bentley athletics is a legacy that will never be forgotten," said Vaughn Williams, director of Athletics. "The DNA of Bentley Athletics was influenced by Coach. It is the foundation of what we have and will continue to build on in the years to come." DeFelice oversaw multiple capital projects throughout his career, significantly improving the university's athletic facilities. There was the renovation of the football field and the addition of the Robert DeFelice Baseball Field, the grass soccer field and track. Under DeFelice's leadership, the hockey team was elevated to Division I, there were more than 100 Northeast-10 championships and NCAA tournament appearances in ten team sports and several individual sports, and both women's basketball and field hockey captured NCAA Division II national championships.

It was on the baseball diamond where DeFelice found his most enjoyment and coached the Falcons in more than 1,800 contests. He was Bentley's head baseball coach from the program's inception in 1969 through the 2022 season, was the Director of Athletics from 1991 to 2020, and was named Baseball Coach Emeritus in 2022. He is a member of the Bentley Athletic Hall of Fame, the BC Athletic Hall of Fame, the Winthrop High School Hall of Fame and the Massachusetts High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame.

DeFelice, a Falcon for more than a half century, passed away Sunday, October 6, 2024, at the age of 82.

Bentley officially dedicated the field to legendary football coach Peter Yetten in September 2024.

After three years as an assistant, Yetten was named the head coach in 1979 and held the position through the 2008 season. His record of 225-81-2 included 154-60-2 in 21 varsity seasons, a winning percentage of .718. Yetten, a 2000 inductee into the Bentley Athletic Hall of Fame, led the Falcons to the first two NCAA Division II playoff berths in program history, in 2003 and 2004. From 1993-95, his teams won 30 consecutive games, which at the time was the longest by a New England football team since Yale in the late 1800s. The Falcons also won 38 consecutive regular season contests from Sept. 25, 1992 to Nov. 4, 1995.

The Boston University product earned three Northeast-10 Coach of the Year awards in a span of four years from 2001-04. He also was the recipient of Coach of the Year awards from the New England Football Writers, the Gridiron Club of Boston, the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference and the ECAC Intercollegiate Football Conference during a career that included seven 10-win seasons.

Yetten received the Contribution to Amateur Football Award from the Eastern Massachusetts chapter of the National Football Foundation in 2006 and the Murray Lewis Award from the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Football Officials in 2007.

Peter Yetten Field is home to the Bentley football and men's lacrosse teams. The men's and women's soccer teams also play on Yetten Field for the occasional night games.

Bentley University inducted eight former Falcon standouts representing nine different sports to its Athletic Hall of Fame class on October 5, 2024.

Bentley's Hall of Fame Class of 2024 consists of Max Adler '17 (men's lacrosse), Kevin Coen '77 (football), Sean Cooke '06 (men's basketball), Tara Dooley '14 (women's track & cross country), Becky (Davison) Landers '04 (women's basketball), Christina (Sadowski) Rosello '08 (volleyball), Lisa Tisbert '05 (soccer & softball), and Weston Zeiner '13 (men's soccer).

The talented group includes five who earned All-America honors as collegians: Adler, Coen, Davison, Dooley and Zeiner.

Adler, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla. native who came to Bentley after a year at Northfield Mount Hermon School, was a two-time USILA Division II All-America, earning third team honors as a junior and second team recognition as a senior. He finished in the top three in Division II in faceoff percentage both of those seasons and was voted to the All-Northeast-10 first team twice.

A 2017 USILA Scholar All-American, Adler went on to a successful professional career as a faceoff specialist. He helped lead the Denver Outlaws to the Major League Lacrosse championship in 2018, the Chaos to the Premier Lacrosse League championship in 2022 and the Buffalo Bandits to the National Lacrosse League title in 2023. A 2019 MLL all-star, Adler also played for Team Israel in the Federation of International Lacrosse Championship in 2019.

Coen was one of the key contributors during the early days of Bentley club football, both on and off the field. He was a two-way player throughout his career, seeing action at multiple positions. The Watertown native and 1976 club football All-America had seven interceptions and is believed to be the only player in Bentley history to throw TD passes as a quarterback and running back, run for touchdowns from both positions and also score a TD via both interception return and fumble recovery.

One of the original club presidents, Coen organized fundraisers and summer practices, even allowing teammates to stay at his parents' house. He went on to a very successful business career as a CEO and in private equity. His athletic career has also included 11 marathons, including Boston eight times. Cooke, who is from East Windsor, N.J., had a standout career for the Falcons from 2002-06 and finished his career with 1,661 points, sixth most in program history at the time and currently ninth all-time. The three-year starter is one of only eight Falcons to average at least 15 points per game in three different seasons, as well as one of only eight to amass at least 1500 points and 300 assists.

A two-time All-Northeast-10 honoree and the team's leading scorer as a sophomore and senior, Cooke was part of teams that amassed an 86-38 record with two NE10 regular season titles and two NCAA tournament appearances, including 2005 when the Falcons reached the Sweet 16. That year, Bentley climbed to number one in the NABC Division II poll and Cooke averaged 22.7 points in the East Regional.

The premier women's cross country athlete in Bentley history, Dooley made four trips to the NCAA Division II championships and finished fourth nationally at the 2013 championships in Spokane, Wash. with a time of 21:07.0, only 16.3 seconds off the winning pace. With that effort, the Lee native became Bentley's first women's cross country All-America and later that year, earned Capital One Academic All-America honors.

Dooley, who still owns Bentley's indoor record in the 5,000, was selected as the 2013 Northeast-10 Runner of the Year, despite missing the conference championships due to injury, and was a three-time All-Northeast-10 honoree.

Landers, whose maiden name is Davison, was Bentley's Outstanding Female Senior Athlete in 2004, as well as a WBCA Division II All-America. During her career, the forward from Beaver Falls, Pa. led the Falcons to a four-year record of 107-23 with two Northeast-10 regular season championships, three NE10 tournament titles and a Final Four appearance as a senior.

Landers, who still ranks in Bentley's top 12 all-time in scoring and rebounds, finished her career fourth in points (1,579) and as the owner of the school records (since broken) for career three-point percentage (.439) and free throw percentage (.834). A two-time first-team All-Northeast-10 honoree, she led the 23-8 2003-04 team in scoring, rebounds, threes, three-point percentage, free throw accuracy, blocks and minutes.

Rosello, who is from Salem, N.H., was Bentley's Outstanding Female Senior Athlete in 2008 after an standout career in which she earned first-team All-Northeast-10, AVCA Division II All-East Region and honorable mention All-America recognition three times. After being named the MVP of the Northeast-10 championships in 2006, Rosello was chosen as the NE10 Player of the Year as a senior.

Rosello, whose maiden name is Sadowski, is in the top three in program history in kills (1,369), blocks (528) and hitting percentage (.333). Her 180 kills as a sophomore are the second most ever recorded by a Falcon.

Tisbert, who is from Andover, was a two-sport standout for the Falcons during the early years of this millennium, playing soccer from 2001-04 and softball from 2002-05. In soccer, she owns the Bentley records for points in a career (104) and season (30), goals in a career (39) and season (12), and career assists (27). She received All-Northeast-10 honors three times, and was a United Soccer Coaches All-Region selection twice, including first-team in 2003. Tisbert was the starting shortstop for the softball team all four years, playing in 153 games, and amassing 135 hits, 61 runs, 52 RBI and a .297 average. She finished her career fourth in program history in career hits and still ranks in the top ten nearly two decades later.

Zeiner, who hails from North Granby, Conn., was a standout on the pitch and in the classroom for the Falcons with his long list of accolades including Northeast-10 Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Bentley's Outstanding Male Senior Athlete, NE10 Defensive Player of the Year, National Soccer Coaches of America third-team All-America, two-time Capital One Academic All-America and three-time All-Northeast-10.

In addition to leading the Falcon defense, the two-year team captain was a factor at the offensive end with his career totals including 15 goals and eight assists for 38 points. With Zeiner on the field, the Falcons reached the NE10 playoffs annually, including the finals in 2010.

The addition of these eight outstanding athletes will boost the number of Bentley Hall of Famers to 173.

"From my first business class forward, Bentley made sure I had all the tools and skills I needed to execute well, with real world applications from the moment I started."

"I am where I am in my career because of Bentley. I learned from faculty who would do anything to help you be successful. Educators like Doris Kelly, whom I consider a mentor, helped to guide me throughout my four years. The coaches, like Coach Murphy, were like that too. As a result, I feel like the student body was really close, as was our team. The balance of sports and academics was important to the coaches and as a result, we were able to go as far as we could go in both.

I went pro with my lacrosse, and, through an alumnus I met at a lacrosse alumni weekend, Nick Mesite, was able to begin my finance career. I equate my success in large part to Bentley."

Max played lacrosse, after a high school career in wrestling. By graduation he knew he wanted to play professionally, and was drafted by the Denver Outlaws, part of Major League Lacrosse. His career in lacrosse has continued-in the Premier League as a faceoff specialist and with the Buffalo Bandits (Indoor Lacrosse) as a defenseman-as he advanced his finance career, first as a financial analyst at ESPN, and today as an ad sales manager at the Walt Disney Company. Max lives in West Hartford, Connecticut, and continues to maintain a strong connection to his friends, teammates, and coaches at Bentley. "I give the coaches and Bentley so much credit, because it was never just about lacrosse, it was about helping you achieve your potential."

"Bentley prepared me to succeed in the business of sport and taught me the life lessons of networking, perseverance, and how to present myself, which opened up doors for me early on in my career. The skills and connections I developed during my time at Bentley have been invaluable throughout my professional journey."

"There are so many lessons from Coach Stevens that have stuck with me. One that I try to live by is, 'The team is bigger than one individual, and there are no shortcuts to success.' The women's basketball program always placed academics as the priority and taught the life skills of time management and prioritization. While not easy, many of us were fortunate to be on scholarship and did not have to work during the school year, allowing us to focus on basketball and school.

I competed throughout my years there. I was fortunate to have accelerated my course load, and the combination of graduating early and having an extra year of eligibility afforded me the opportunity to complete my MBA while playing. Bentley prepared me to succeed in the business of sport and taught me the life lessons of networking, perseverance, and how to present myself, which opened doors for me early in my career."

"Being the mascot is one of the few times in life you get to be a Superhero."

"We are all Athletics-heads-marketing majors who take the responsibility of presenting our teams to our community seriously."

"The Flock is the staff who every year volunteers to work for the athletics administration. Most of us are business or marketing majors who are putting into practice what we learn every day. I try to help make it fun, and encourage people to enjoy their roles and support our teams with the energy they deserve. There are ten people working here on athletics, so we've got a disciplined, staff that's in sync with each other. Bentley is a small school, so we see the athletes and everyone involved in athletics all over campus-and we know that so many of them are stars in their sports. The fact that they're amazing in academics as well-well that is what Bentley is all about."

Anna loves sports and always has. As a marketing and sports management major, she hopes to work in women's sports when she graduates. "I want to make a difference, and to help get more exposure for women's sports. It's such an exciting time for all of it."
