Albany, N.Y. — University at Albany head basketball coach Will Brown announced today the hiring
of Pat Filien and Eric Eaton as assistant coaches. Filien was a four-year assistant at Vermont,

for recruiting, scouting and skill development. The Catamounts enjoyed unparalleled success
during his years with the program. Vermont made three NCAA appearances, captured three

three-year stint at C.W. Post-Long Island in Brookville, N.Y.
Eaton coached at Holy Cross from 2000-04 as a member of Ralph Willard's staff. He as-
sisted in all aspects of the program, including on-court coaching, scouting, recruiting and camp
coordination. The Crusaders won three Patriot League championships and reached the NCAA
tournament in three consecutive seasons. The 2002-03 squad posted a 26-5 record.
Previous to Holy Cross, Eaton was an assistant coach for one year at Assumption College in
Worcester, Mass. He also worked at Anna Maria College from 1997-99 and was a volunteer assis-
tant at UMass-Dartmouth, when that program won 20 games and made an NCAA Division III ap-
pearance.
A member of the UMass-Dartmouth Athletic Hall of Fame, Eaton played on three Little East
Conference championship teams that reached the NCAAs in the mid-1990s. He averaged 11.7
points per game as a senior, when the Corsairs won the Little East regular-season title and ad-

UALBANY FOOTBALL RECEIVES COMMITMENTS FROM 33 STUDENT-ATHLETES
Albany, N.Y. — University at Albany head football coach Bob Ford announced today that 33 student-athletes have
committed to play for the Great Danes in the fall of 2005. The Great Danes, who finished third in the Northeast

Saturday, Sept. 10.
"We needed to address our running back situation," said Ford, who has 205 career wins at the college
level and has guided the UAlbany program to a pair of NEC titles. "Each player has speed with the ability to
catch the ball out of the backfield. On defense, we were able to bring in some solid linebackers and several
good linemen who could help us immediately. It's a big class in terms of numbers and we met the needs of our
program with this group. "
© The 2005 class is comprised of 17 players from the state of New York, plus 10 from New Jersey, two
from Pennsylvania, and one each from North Carolina, Connecticut, Texas and New Hampshire. The break-
down by position includes two quarterbacks, four offensive linemen, three wide receivers, five running backs,
one tight end, six linebackers, six defensive linemen, four defensive backs and two kickers.
The Great Danes landed several talented offensive players, especially at the running back position.
Marcus Allen, a transfer from Valley Forge Military College, was named the Seaboard Conference Offensive
Player of the Year. He rushed for a combined 1,777 yards and 15 touchdowns in his two years with the pro-
gram. Stephon Cooper earned New Jersey All-State Group | recognition after rushing for 1,351 yards and 12
TDs last season. Northern New Jersey quarterback Vinny Esposito passed for 2,700 yards and 28 touch-
downs, and was selected to the Associated Press all-state first team. Marcus Miles, an All-Onondaga League
tight end in Central New York, caught 26 passes for 352 yards as a senior.
Jason Gagnon, a 6-foot-1, 305-pound defensive tackle from Manchester, N.H., leads a group of incom-
ing defenders. Gagnon was chosen to the all-state Division | first team three consecutive years. Erie Commu-
nity College transfer Ben Bayer (6-2, 215) totaled 98 tackles, seven sacks and three interceptions last season.
UAlbany also picked up three all-area players from the Capital Region. Kevin Richards was a member

foot-2, 285-pound offensive lineman from Shenendehowa High, also earned A/bany Times Union first-team All-
Area honors. David McCarty (LaSalle Institute) rushed for 2,828 yards and 29 touchdowns during his scholas-

Albany Wins Commissioner's Cup
BOSTON- The University at Albany has been awarded the 2004-05 Stuart P. Haskell, Jr. Commissioner’s Cup it was announced today by Julie
Ruppert, Interim Commissioner of America East. It is the first such award for the Great Danes, who recently completed their fourth season in the
conference. The Commissioner’s Cup annually recognizes the strongest athletic program in America East as determined by a scoring system which
rewards a school for success both during the regular season and at championship competition in the conference’s 22 sports.
Albany totaled 380 points to unseat Boston University, which had 368 points and had won each of the last three Commissioner's Cups. Binghamton
University (357) was third, followed by University of Maine (332), Northeastern University (316), University of New Hampshire (308), Stony Brook
University (266), University of Vermont (242), UMBC (236) and University of Hartford (151).
Albany’s point total was bolstered by championships in volleyball, men's lacrosse, men's outdoor track and field, and softball. In addition, the Great
Danes were runners-up in men's indoor track and field, and women's golf. The men's soccer, volleyball, men's lacrosse and softball teams either
won or shared the regular-season titles.
"The Commissioner's Cup represents the hard work, dedication and tireless efforts of UAlbany's student-athletes, coaches, administrative staff and
campus leadership," said Dr. Lee McElroy, Director of Athletics at Albany. "This teamwork approach has allowed us to build a comprehensive athletic
program for men and women that strives for excellence with the goal of performing at a consistent level."
Boston University also won four championships as the women's cross country, men's soccer, women's tennis and women's lacrosse teams each
earned titles. Binghamton was victorious in women's soccer, men's tennis and men's golf. Maine saw it's men's cross country and baseball teams
earn championships.
Other institutions to win sports championships included Northeastern (field hockey, women's indoor track and field, men's indoor track and field, and
women's outdoor track and field), New Hampshire (women's swimming and diving), Vermont (men's basketball), UMBC (men's swimming and diving)
and Hartford (women's basketball, women's golf).
The Stuart P. Haskell, Jr. Commissioner’s Cup is named in honor of the first commissioner of America East. Haskell served as commissioner of the
conference from 1987 until his retirement in 1997.
The scoring system for the Stuart P. Haskell, Jr. Commissioner’s Cup is as follows: In sports where regular-season round robin competition is
conducted, the first-place institution in the final standings receives four points times the total number of teams involved in conference play. The
second-place institution receives four less points; third place receives eight less points, and so on. Additionally, the America East (tournament)
champion receives two points times the total number of teams participating in the championship. The second-place institution receives two less
points; third place receives four less points and so on down to the last-place institution which receives two points.
In sports where regular-season round robin competition is not conducted (cross country, golf, tennis, track and field, swimming and diving), the first
place institution at the America East championship receives two points times the total number of teams participating in the championship. The second
place institution receives two less points; third place gets four less points and so on down to the last place team which receives two points.
