On April 24 against Rutgers-Camden, the Pioneer softball team honored
their six seniors who are Morgan Dunlap, Diane Catalano, Pam Migliaccio,
Katie Morris, Liz Carroll, and Sam Kszepka.
The Pioneers finished the day with a loss and a tie in the first and
second games respectively. In the top of the seventh inning of the first
game, Becky Johnson hit a two run homer to put the Scarlet Raptors ahead
by the score of 3-1.
In the second segment of the seventh, Mindy Coxe tied the game with
an RBI triple. In the eighth, Camden was able to push across three runs
to take the lead and the eventual win by the score of 6-5.
In game two, the Pioneers entered the top of the seventh leading by the
score of 3-2. However, in the bottom of the seventh, Camden’s Celeste
Chinappi hit a sacrifice fly to center field scoring Dana Jenninigs which
tied the game at 3 all. In the eighth, both the Pioneers and Scarlet Raptors
scored a run apiece, however, the game was stopped after the eighth in
a 4-4 tie due to darkness.

The Pioneers late season surge was spoiled, after they dropped two games
in the New Jersey Athletic Conference Tournament, which ended their season.
The team dropped games to Rowan University and Kean University in the
double elimination tournament. Sandwiched between the losses was a 7-1
victory over The College of New Jersey. Rowan was the eventual champions.
"Losing was very tough," says senior shortstop Dan Suarez "especially
when your apart of a great group of guys like this. It was so painful,
because we really felt we were the best team." |

Part I - History and the 2002 Season
Over the years, William Paterson has fielded many successful athletic
teams. These teams are complimented, praised, and receive positive media
attention.
As these teams prosper, there are those that struggle and receive negative
or no attention at all. Football is one of these teams, a program that
has not yet held up its end in a long time.
Established in 1972 under Head Coach Arthur Eason, the Pioneer football
team celebrated only seven winning seasons in 31 years.
The team finished 19 seasons with fewer than five victories and made
it to the postseason once. In its lone playoff appearance in 1992, Rowan
University eliminated the team in the second round.
There hasn’t been a head coach to post a career winning record
percentage of .500 or better, although Head Coach Gerry Gallagher led
them to their finest campaign of 8-2 in 1992.

The New Jersey Nets and Boston Celtics are set to square off in a rematch
of last year's Eastern Conference Semifinals, which had the nets winning
in six games.
The Nets star is Jason Kidd, but few players in the league are playing
better than forward Kenyon Martin.
Martin averaged 22.3 points per game and 10 rebounds per game in the
Nets first-round victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Meanwhile, the underdog Celtics knocked out the Indiana Pacers in six
games in their first-round match up.
