Indoctrination From our first step through Vickery Gate, our life begins here at Kings Point. The first two- weeks is the indoctrination period. “Indoc” is an intensive period of physical, moral, and regimental training. Before even knowing your roommate’s name, you learn how to function as one to survive here at Kings Point. And it all culminates on Acceptance Day which is part of Parent’s Weekend. Time for a motivated haircut! On Acceptance Day, the Fourth-classmen are accepted into the Naval Reserve- program and become Plebcs, no longer Plebe-Candidates. The I'1 day of INDOC generates many heart felt goodbyes. 2 £ TW tt (Ring (Dance ‘7 want you to understand why I bate the school with all my power and passion.

This musical event is one of the highlights of both Parents’ and Homecoming Weekend. The Beat Retreat not only features the Regimental Band, but also the Mariners Chrous, Star Spangled Banner Brigade and the Nassau County Police Pipe and Drum Band. The show is absolutely spectacular!

The transition from high school senior to USMMA plebe can be difficult. But there are high points in the process. Acceptance Day marks the plebe class joining the Regiment of Midshipmen — and a chance to once again see parents and family members. And Plebe Recognition is a crazy but joyful right of passage for the fourth classmen. (Right) The Class of 2008 looks sharp lined up on Tomb Field for Acceptance Day.

I Dancing the Night Away There are plenty of social events at the Academy and even off-campus - - mixers, 100 Nights Party, etc. But perhaps the most anticipated of these social gatherings are the more formal events like Ring Dance, the Holiday Ball and the Graduation Ball. It’s great to see the members of the Regiment all dressed up. looking sharp and having a great time! (Right) Karen Rasciano and Kevin Walsh at the Class of 2005 Ring Dance.

The 142 USMMA cadet midshipmen lost at sea in World War II are commemorated. The Academy was extremely fortunate to host an exceptional guest speaker at the 2005 dinner — General Peter Pace, USMC. The General, who was serving as Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington,DC. at the time of the dinner, would be named the full Joint Chiefs Chairman just a few days later.

Left: Vice Admiral Joseph D. Stewart and Captain Robert Safarik greeting Salty the Mascot. The Mariners’ football team played a tough non-conference schedule and struggled out of the gates as the team became inflicted with the injury bug. However, Kings Point’s resiliency was demonstrated when the Blue and Gray refused to quit, finishing in a fourth-place tie in their first season in the Liberty League. Perhaps the two most exciting games of the season were the ones at the end of the year that enabled the Mariners to secure two pieces of hardware: the Hoffman Cup and of course, the Secretaries’ Cup against service-academy arch-rival Coast Guard. In the Hoffman Cup game at St. Lawrence, USMMA overcame a double-digit fourth deficit to force the team’s first overtime in nearly three years. From there, record setting running back Jason Hardwick, who tied a school record five touchdowns in a game, ran around the right corner for a 12-yard game winning score on Kings Point’s second play from scrimmage in the extra session.Hardwick ran for 250-plus yards in each of the last three games of the season, including a 271-yard performance against Coast Guard. Ironically, it was his 72-yard pass reception from freshman quarterback Chuck Kleinschnitz with 1:34 left in the third quarter that gave the Mariners a 14-0 lead. The Blue and Gray added a safety in the closing minutes of the game, and won the contest by a final score of 16-7. The victory marked the sixth time in seven seasons that USMMA has defeated the Bears. After the season Hardwick was named the Liberty League’s Offensive Player of the Year, and was named to the ECAC Northwest First Team. Seniors Justin McAdams and Matt Fuhrman joined Hardwick on the All-Liberty League First Team, while seniors Rich Martucci and Cole Patterson and sophomore Justin Eusepi garnered Second Team accolades. Statistically speaking, Hardwick ran 294 times for 1,508 yards and 12 touchdowns. He broke the Kings Point single-game carries (55) and yardage (300) marks in the Week 8 game against Rensselaer, which started his 250-plus yards rushing streak. His offensive line of Brandon Wess, Tommy O’Toole, McAdams, Mike Gonzales, Jeff Hitzel and Adam Shrives paved the way for the Mariners to rank third in the Liberty League in rushing. Kleinschnitz was 88-for-225 passing for 1,045 yards and five touchdowns in his rookie campaign. A host of defensive players also had standout seasons, led by Fuhrman who recorded a team-high 78 tackles, 15 tackles for loss and six sacks. He also tied with Eusepi and Greg Elliott for the team lead with three forced fumbles on the season. Eusepi notched 14 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks in his first year as a starter. Josh Hansen continued his steady play at linebacker, registering 75 tackles and seven tackles for loss. Matt Swank was named the national Division III Player of the Week after Week 1, when he returned one of his two interceptions for a 65-yard touchdown to put the Mariners on the board at Centennial Conference powerhouse Muhlenberg.

Masters of the field The 2004 season was a memorable one for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy men’s soccer team, as several team records fell this past season. The Mariners opened the season with 14 consecutive wins, and in doing so set new school records for consecutive wins, consecutive wins to start a season, most games played without a loss, and most games played without a loss to start the season. The team’s 19 wins tied the school record for wins in a season, which was set just two years ago when Kings Point went to the “Sweet 16” of the NCAA Tournament. USMMA opened its 2004 campaign with a 1-0 win over SUNY-New Paltz at Capt. Tomb Field in Brooks Stadium. Freshman Brian Yetman netted the game- winner in the 70th minute as he took a feed from senior Glen Peer, off a corner kick, and buried the first goal of his collegiate career. The Mariners had one of their toughest tests of the season just a few days later when they traveled to Hobart on September 5 and came away with a 3-2 double overtime win. KP took a 2-0 first-half lead on goals from senior Everet Lindholm and 2003 Skyline Conference Rookie of the Year Kyle Flynn. The team seemed to be well on its way to victory before the Statesmen twice in the final three minutes of regulation to tie the match. The teams played a scoreless first session of overtime, and with 2:45 remaining in the second period of OT freshman David Poulnot netted his first collegiate goal to win the match. The Mariners’ next game was their Skyline Conference opener, a 4-0 win over Mount Saint Vincent. Peer opened the scoring in the 24th minute as he knocked home a Lindholm rebound that hit off the post. Kings Point pulled away from there, adding one more goal in the first half and two in the second, while senior keeper James Papazis stopped the lone Dolphins shot on goal to record the win. After the conference opener the Blue and Gray continued their winning ways, taking home victories in their next 10 matches, including several 1-0 contests against Springfield, Vassar, Old Westbury and arch-rival Coast Guard.In the battle against Coast Guard, junior Nick Dandapani netted the lone goal of the game in the 41st minute, with Poulnot being credited with the assist. Papazis made five saves in recording the shutout against the Bears. With that win the Class of 2005 finished a perfect 4-0 against their arch-rival.

Senior co-captain Marcial Alzugaray got the Mariners on the board just 14 minutes into the match, but the Rangers tied the game shortly after and then took the lead 10 minutes into the second half. Just four minutes later sophomore Ryan Eaton tied the game and then netted the game-winner in the 87:h minute to give KP a hard-fought victory. The Mariners streak ended on October 15,h when they traveled to Stevens for a match that would decide the regular season conference champion. The Blue and Gray, who were ranked sixth in the nation - their highest ranking of the season, took a 1-0 lead when Flynn scored in the 62nd minute. The Ducks battled back to tie the game and take the lead in the last five minutes to hand Kings Point it’s first loss of the season.The team rebounded after that loss to win final three matches of the regular season, closing it out with a 2-0 win over New Jersey City. After defeating Manhattanville 2-0 in the semifinals of the Skyline Conference Tournament, the Blue and Gray hoped to avenge its lone loss of the season against Stevens in the conference championship game. It was not meant to be, however, as the fourth ranked Ducks downed the 10lh-ranked Mariners 4-0. Despite the loss in the conference championship game, Kings Point was able to make its ninth straight post season appearance as the top-seed in the ECAC Championship. After dispatching St. Joseph's 3-1 in the quarterfinals the Blue and Gray hosted the Valiants for the third time in the 2004 season. As it turned out the third time was the charm for Manhattanville as they netted the game-winning goal with just eight minutes remaining in the match, ending Kings Point’s season. The Mariners finished with a 19-3 record, including an 8-1 mark in the Skyline Conference, as they closed out 2004 as the 1 -ranked team in the nation. Seven members of the squad were named to the Skyline Conference All-Star teams, two to the First Team and five to the Second Team, while head coach Michael Smolens was named Coach of the Year and the Blue and Gray received the conference Sportsmanship Award. Alzugaray, Meagher, and Papzis also received NCAA All-Metro Region Honors, and Meagher was additionally named to the NSCAA adidas Men’s NCAA Division III All-America Third Team. Smolens was additionally honored as the 2004 NSCAA adidas College Men's Metro Region Coach of the Year, while Associate Head Coach John Fizgerald was named the inaugural NSCAA adidas Northeast Regional Assistant Coach of the Year. 71 A Cross Country Left: Callie Beeler, Samantha Skeens, Chris Parks, and Jason Neiman pose with their medals.

After dropping their season opening match at Hunter the Blue and Gray picked up their first win of the season, 3-1 (30-24, 25-30, 30-26, 30-26), at Baruch. They then won their Skyline Conference opener, which was also the team’s home opener at Liebertz Gymnasium, 3-0 (30-14, 30-19, 30- 25) over Maritime (N.Y.). The Mariners kept rolling after that, as they won their next three contests over Lehman, Centenary, and John Jay. Kings Point’s winning streak came to an end when they traveled to Swarthmore, Pa. for the Garnet Classic as they dropped their first match 3-0 (28-10. 32-34, 20-30) to Alvernia. The Mariners then dropped a 3-2 (20-30, 31-29, 30-22, 25-30,12-15) loss at the hands of William Patterson before defeating Kean 3-0. USMMA rebounded to win four of their next six contests, all against Skyline Conference opponents, the first of which was a 3-0 (30-27, 30-22, 30-27) win at Farmingdale State. Junior tri-captain, Janine Wachter led the Mariners to victory with 18 kills, 10 digs and 3 solo blocks, while fellow junior tri-captain Holly Cummings tallied 14 kills and 10 digs. After a 3-1 loss at Mount Saint Mary, the Blue and Gray defeated 3-0 (30-18,30-22,30-18) win at Mount Saint Vincent. The Mariners are now 8-4 on the season and 4-1 in Skyline Conference play. The Blue and Gray were once again led by Cummings, who had a match high 15 kills on the evening, and Wachter, who scored 10 kills and recorded seven digs. Jablonski contributed 25 assists and 10 digs in the win. Kings Point dropped its next match at top-ranked NYU 3-0 before returning to Liebertz Gymnasium on September 30, where they defeated Old Westbury 3-0 (30-20, 30-13, 30-24) in their first home contest in two weeks as they open a five match home stand. The Mariners then hosted a tri- match with arch-rival Coast Guard and York. After both rivals dispatched the Cardinals, by identical match scores of 3-0, the two squads hooked up for a Superintendent’s Trophy match, where USMMA fell to the visiting Bears 3-0. Kings Point went 1-1 to close the home stand as they defeated St. Joseph’s, L.l. 3-1, as Wachter scored a four-game team record 30 kills, before falling to Rutgers-Newark 3-2 and then traveled to Madison, N.J. for the FDU-Florham Classic. The Mariners went 1-2 at the Classic, with the lone win being a 3-1 decision over Ramapo. The Blue and Gray then traveled to Skyline Conference rival Stevens for their final conference match of the regular season, falling to the host Ducks 3-0 (30-20. 30-21, 30-25). The Mariners then traveled to York where they were victorious 3-0 (30-20, 30-14, 30-23) and won their final home contest over Ramapo 3-0 on Senior Day. USMMA then traveled to Hartford, Conn, for a tri- match at Trinity, where they defeated Clark (Mass.) 3-2 (23-30, 16-30, 30-23, 30-14, 15-13) before falling to the host Bantams 3-2 (30-18, 27-30, 31-33, 30-19 15-8), to close out the regular season. USMMA posted a 6-2 record in Skyline Conference play to earn the third seed in the conference tournament and played host to sixth seeded Centenary. The Mariners dispatched the Cyclones 3-0 (30-11, 30-20, 30-16) as Wachter set a new school record for kills in a season after recording a match-high 19 kills, giving her 418 on the season. Jessica France was the previous record holder with her 417 kills in 2002. The Blue and Gray then traveled to Hoboken, N.J. where top seeded Stevens hosted the final two rounds, for a semifinal match against Mount Saint Mary. USMMA was able to avenge their earlier loss with a 3-0 (30-19,30-26, 30-27) win over the Blue Knights to advance to the championship match against the Ducks ,who again defeated the Mariners 3-0 (23-30, 26- 30, 29-31) in a tightly contested match that easily could have gone in favor of the Blue and Gray. The loss closed the book on the season for USMMA as they compiled a 17-13 record in 2004. The squad was well represented in the Skyline Conference post season awards as Wachter was named the conference Player of the Year and was named First Team All- Conference with Cummings.

The 2004-05 season was a very successful one for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy wrestling team. The Mariners posted a 12- 5 dual-match record, the best mark in seventh-year head coach Tim Alger's tenure at the school, and went 3-0 in matches during its first-ever season in the Centennial Conference. USMMA reached two milestones during the season; in the dual match at Maritime College (Jan. 25), Alger recorded his 50th career coaching victory. More importantly, junior 149-pounder Danny Song won his weight class at the Centennial Conference Championships, and became the first wrestler to advance to the NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships during the Alger regime. On opening night, USMMA showed that it would be a force to be reckoned with, overcoming some early-season jitters to win the first- ever Skyline Conference Invitational. The Mariners overcame a 22-6 deficit through six matches against Stevens to score 21 unanswered points and take a 27-22 victory. Nate Van de Venter, Patrick Frain and Adam Shrives all earned pinfall victories to spark the comeback. USMMA then took care of business in the championship dual match against Centenary (N.J.), winning by a 23-21 margin. Song went 2-0 on the day with a pair of pintails at 149. The Mariners then posted what is believed to be their best team score at Springfield's Doug Parker Invitational in school history, checking in with an eighth-place finish. Song went 5-0 in the tournament to win the 149-pound weight class, while Frain (team-best 11 pins on the season) and team captain Gerry Fortuna (141 lbs.) placed third and fourth in their respective weight classes. USMMA won nine of its last 11 dual matches in the season, and posted solid results when it counted. In addition to Alger's 50th career victory at Maritime, the Mariners won a 22-17 match at service-academy arch-rival Coast Guard in early January. The victory against the Bears marked the third win for the Mariners in their last four tries against CGA. and marked the first time in history that USMMA has won consecutive matches against Coast Guard in New London (2003). Included in the victory was a second-period pin by Frain over sixth-ranked 184-pounder Josh Boyle, who wrestled up one weight class to take on the Yardley, Pa. native.The Blue and Gray also went 3-0 in its first Centennial Conference competition, winning a quad-match at Muhlenberg against the Mules, Johns Hopkins, and Stevens. Freshman Troy McGuinness went 3-0 on the afternoon at 174, with Song picking up a pair of victories in his two matches. A total of six wrestlers picked up All-State kudos by placing in the top-eight of their weight class at the New York State Collegiate Wrestling Championships. Song placed fifth at 149, with sophomore 157-pound mainstay Danridge Giltz finishing sixth. Fortuna finished seventh at 141, while freshman Matt Maris (133), sophomore Eric Rohan (184) and Shrives (heavyweight) all placing eighth. USMMA placed sixth in the Centennial Conference Championships at the end of the season, with Song scoring a key reversal in the final minute of his 149-pound final against defending champion Dale Mills of Muhlenberg to secure a spot in the NCAA Championships. Van de Venter scored a takedown in overtime against Johns Hopkins' Joe Selba to place third at 165, while Maris wrestled his way to a fourth-place showing at 133. 78 r:H LT:' JSi SITES i; r’-.r ■=••3 Us vs. Them Stevens (Throggs Neck, N.Y.) 27 - 22, W Centenary (Throggs Neck, N.Y.) 23-21,W Doug Parker Invitational (Springfield, Mass.)

Fast break! USMMA's season opened with a near-upset at Navy. Though the Mariners lost the game 69-60, they kept pace with the Midshipmen throughout the contest - their first against Navy since the late 1970s. Sky Holm's season-high 16 points helped USMMA to stay within six points with as late as seven minutes remaining in the contest. The Blue and Gray then ripped off four straight wins over Division III competition, including an emotional 56-55 home victory over Coast Guard in early December. The game featured eight ties and four lead changes, and senior captain Josh Buck took over the contests final two minutes to help USMMA overcome a late four-point deficit. After canning a three- pointer off a steal to cut the Bears lead to a single point, he calmly sank both ends of a 1-and-1 with 35 seconds left to give the Mariners the lead. Buck then pulled down a defensive rebound as time wound down in heavy traffic, securing USMMA's second straight win over the Coast Guard. Kings Point then secured a third-place finish at the Rees Jewelers Christmas Classic just before the New Year with a solid victory over Dickinson, and advanced to the title game of the Radisson Invitational against host Scranton. From there, the Mariners were jockeying for position in Skyline Conference action, and picked up a crucial win over Long Island foe St. Joseph’s in the second-to-last regular season game. Sophomore Brian Kelly hit an eight-foot baseline jumper as time expired to give USMMA a 70-68 victory - one which locked up the third seed for Kings Point in the upcoming Skyline Tourney. Kelly’s heroics and game-high 14 points moved USMMA past sixth-seeded Old Westbury, 62-58. in a home Skyline Conference Tournament quarterfinals game at Liebertz Gymnasium. The Belle Harbor, N.Y. native tied the game on a three-pointer with over three minutes remaining in the game, before his trifecta with 90 seconds left gave the Mariners the lead for good. Though the Mariners fell three nights later to eventual champions Mount Saint Mary by a 66-60 score, the night was a bittersweet ending to the careers of all three seniors - Buck. Holm and Joe Hart. Buck became just the sixth player in school history to record 1.500 points in his career when he made a pair of free-throws with 13:54 left in the game. His night ended with a double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds), and finished his illustrious career with 1,506 points and 787 rebounds. Included among Buck’s post- season honors were a second-team spot on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District 1 squad, a third-team citation to the All-Met Writers Basketball Association team, a First-Team All-Skyline Conference mention for the third consecutive year, and an ECAC Metro Honorable Mention selection. Hart led the Mariners with his 41-percent field goal rate, and averaged double figures in scoring for the second straight year. He led the team in scoring on six occasions this season, including four all-important Skyline contests. Hart also pulled down 5.1 rebounds per-game. and buried a team-best 49 three-pointers. Holm excelled in his final collegiate season knocking down nearly 40-percent of his field goal tries as well. He ranked second on the team with 48 three assists and 13 steals, while averaging 5.6 points per game. A last-second victory over service-academy arch-rival Coast Guard, advancement to the Skyline Conference Tournament semifinals, and the reaching of a scoring milestone were just a few of the highlights for head coach Chris Carideo’s 2004-05 men’s basketball team. The Mariners finished the season with a 16-11 overall record, and placed third in Skyline with a 9-5 record. ! If 2 flOliK •«fct ante 80 u -ii' Left: The team anxiously watches a game.

You should see them build a snowman!! , , 4 . , .... , ., The 2004-05 season was somewhat of a rebuilding season for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy women’s swimming and diving team, as they had to replace two outstanding seniors from last years squad. They finished with a dual meet record of 6-5, repeated as Skyline Conference Champions, placed sixth at the Metropolitan Conference Championships (METS), ranked third among D-lll programs at METS, and finished eighth at the ECAC Division III Championships. The combination of those finishes showed that the program remains among the best in the region. The team also saw freshman standout Robyn Jimenez become the first member of the women’s squad to qualify for the NCAA Division III Championships since 1985. The season opened on November 20 when the Mariners hosted the Skyline Conference Championships, where they successfully defended their title to be crowned the conference champions for the second time in as many years. USMMA surpassed two conference records on that day, as Jimenez beat the previous marks in the 100 breaststroke (1:10.13) and was also on the 200 medley relay team, along with Morgan Evans, Crystal Hall and Kim Sercel. that won in a record time of 2:00.32. The Mariners then won their first dual meet of the season. 175-34. over SUNY-Maritime on December 1 and then placed eighth just a few days later at the ECAC Division III Championships. USMMA then traveled to Queens. N.Y. for a tri-meet at Queens College, where they easily routed Baruch, 96-8, and narrowly defeated the host Knights, 65-50. The Blue and Gray then dropped three dual meets in a row, including two at home to Montclair State (124-99) on December 20, and Adelphi (52-43) on January 13. Despite the losses Jimenez had an outstanding night against both teams as she won six individual events and set a new Academy record in the 100 breaststroke (1:08.64) and the 200 freestyle (2:01.62). Both records were set against Adelphi. She then reset her own record in the 200 individual medley at Rowan, recording a time of 2:17.15 on January 15. The Mariners rebounded to close out their dual meet season with three wins in their final five meets, picking up wins over Hunter (71-50), Mount Saint Mary (86-62) and Stevens (139-81). The team's dual meet season came to an end with the win over the Ducks (Stevens) on Senior Day, February 2. Marlaina Pippen and Jimenez won two events each, as the Mariners improved their dual meet record to 6-5. Pippen was a winner on both the one-meter (167.31) and the three-meter (164.25) boards, while Jimenez took home first-place honors in the 200 IM, and reset the Academy record, in a time of 2:16.45 and the 100 Breast (1:10.71). The squad closed out the 2004-05 season at METS. where the Blue and Gray placed sixth overall, and were third among D-lll participants. On opening night, the 400 medley relay team of Sercel, Jimenez, Smith and Evans swam to a 4:18.74 breaking the previous USMMA record of 4:18.80, which was set back in 1985. Jimenez then broke another Academy record with a time of 1:07.72 in the 100 breaststroke for a second-place finish. While she did not compete at the NCAA Division III Championships, Jimenez finished ranked in the NCAA's top 75 in three events: the 100 breaststroke (38th, 1:07.72, NCAA “B” cut) and the 200 breaststroke (39th. 2:28.01) and the 200 individual medley (72nd. 2:16.21' She was honored after the season as the team MVP.

The Mariners placed eighth in the free pistol, ninth in the air pistol, and 10th in the standard pistol disciplines. Freshman Josh Cox, who had never shot pistol prior to his arrival on campus, placed 11th and 20th nationally in the free and air pistol competitions respectively. The Mariners qualified for the event by posting a strong second-place finish at the Sectional Championships in West Point. Cox won the air pistol competition, while senior cap- tain Jessica Phillips placed fourth in the women’s air pis- tol. Jason Berger and Pat Lowe joined Cox in competing in all three disciplines, while Phillips competed in the air and free pistol competitions. The future for the team is a bright one as Berger, Cox, Lowe and freshman Zach Stipe will be returning for next season. Each showed tremendous improvement through- out the season and will look to return to the NRA Champi- onships in 2006.

The Blue and Gray advanced to the KLC semifinals, narrowly falling at Montclair State. After an 0-3 start, the Mariners recorded their first win of the season with a 12-11 overtime victory over Oneonta State on March 25. The squad trailed 10-6 in the third quarter before netting a pair of goals in the final minute of the quarter to pull to within 10-8. They then scored the first thee goals of the fourth quarter for an 11 - 10 lead. The Red Dragons tied the game with 1:32 remaining in regulation, setting the stage for senior Matt McCarthy’s OT winner at the 1:34 mark of the extra frame. USMMAthen traveled to Maritime (N.Y.), where they came away with an 11-9 victory. The Mariners trailed 5-3 at halftime, but drew even at 8-8 by the end of the third and took the lead for good on Sean Dougherty’s goal 2:47 into the fourth quarter. Jim Flannery put the team up by two just 1:03 later before the two squads traded goals for the 11-9 final. The team then dropped its next two decisions, including a 6-5 overtime loss at Muhlenberg, but bounced back to defeat KLC rivals Richard Stockton and Kean by three goals each. The win over Stockton was the 100th of Head Coach Tom Gill’s career at the Academy and his 145th, overall. USMMA closed out their regular season with a 19-11 win at Manhattanville, and a seven-goal performance by Dougherty earned him KLC Player of the Week and ECAC Riddell Metro Region Player of the Week honors. The Mariners season came to an end as they again fell to Montclair State for the second time in a week, this time by a score of 13-11 in the semifinals of the KLC Tournament. The Blue and Gray held an 11-8 on the strength of a four-goal, two assist effort from Dougherty and a three-goal, two-assist effort from Flannery, but the Red Hawks recorded five unanswered goals to win the contest. After the season four members of the Blue and Gray were named to the All-KLC teams. Senior team captain David Shafer, a nominee for the national long-stick midfielder of the year, was named to the First Team, while Dougherty, freshman defender Michael Maginnis and sophomore goalie John Pagano garnered Second Team honors.

The 2005 season marked a tremendous turnaround for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy baseball team as it posted a 14-19 overall record and went 12-10 in the Skyline Conference, tying them for second in the East Division. They also were in the thick of the conference playoff race, missing the four-team field by just one game. The team got off to a slow start, going 0-6 before sweeping a doubleheader against Polytechnic on March 19 for its first two wins of the season. USMMA continued to struggle, winning just two of its next nine games. The wins came at Old Westbury, by a score of 13-7 on March 30, and against Mount Saint Mary, 17-2, to split a doubleheader on April 9.The Mariners got hot after that as they went on to win each of their next six contests on their way to posting a 10-6 mark in the second half of the season, out-scoring their opponents by nearly a two-to-one margin in the 10 wins. Two highlights on the season were the Mariners pair of dramatic wins over Centenary College, the eventual Skyline Conference Tournament champions. The first came on April 15, when USMMA trailed Centenary 9-8 entering the bottom of the ninth. But Kings Point managed to tie the contest and then won the game on a squeeze play. Co-captain Harlow Wood charged hard from third-base as Bobby Neelon pushed a bunt up the third-base line and scored the winning run. Then, on April 22, Centenary trailed 6-5 and loaded the bases with one out in the top of the ninth before Davey May got James Surowiec to line out to first baseman Brad Rakoce, who then stepped on the bag to double-up Mike Rossi and end the game.After that, the Mariners stumbled, dropping four of their final seven decisions, including a doubleheader to Mount Saint Vincent and a pair of decisions to Manhattanville. The squad's three wins all came against Maritime (N.Y.). The Mariners closed the year with a pair of wins, by scores of 13-6 and 5-2, on Senior Day over the Privateers. The Blue and Gray honored the Class of 2005, Roberto Herrera, Bernie Lutz, Mike Prim and Harlow Wood, in a pre-game ceremony. While the team's offense was much improved this season, their pitching is also worthy of mention for the team’s improvement. Freshman L.J. Fioravanti went 3-1 with a 3.47 ERA in six starts, with one save in his lone relief appearance. He recorded a pair of complete-game shutouts, one of which was in his collegiate debut as he allowed just one hit while striking out 11 in the Blue and Gray's 15-0 win over Polytechnic. After the season, freshman outfielder Davey May was honored as the Skyline Conference Co-Rookie of the Year and was named Second Team All-Conference, while Wood was named First Team All-Conference and Third-Team All-New York Region at the shortstop position. May was named the Skyline Conference Rookie of the Week on two occasions this season (March 14, April 11), while Wood, who served as team co-captain with Bernie Lutz, also earned Skyline Conference Player of the Week honors April 18.

The team then returned to the Northeast and promptly opened their Skyline Conference schedule with a doubleheader sweep of Maritime (N.Y.) by scores of 16-0 and 13-0, with both games ending in the fifth inning. USMMA then went just 1-5 over their next six games, with a pair of losses to eventual Skyline Conference champion Manhattanville. but rebounded to go 8-2 in their next 10 contests. During that period the team recorded six shutouts, including five in a row, before surrendering a run in the second game of the Blue and Gray's doubleheader win over St. Joseph's, L.l.

The two teams again met in the semifinal of the winner's bracket and the Mariners were victorious with a come-from-behind. 6-3 win. USMMA fell to top-seeded Manhattanville 3-2 and were then eliminated from the double-elimination tournament by the Blue Knights, who avenged their earlier loss to the Blue and Gray, with a 3-1 win to end the USMMAs season.

The women attending realized that there was an interest in creating a serious group that could expose their talent and interest in playing soccer. Finally, in 2004 the first step towards the creation of a Women’s Varsity Soccer Team, was taken. Seventeen women of KP were successful in the creation of a club team and competed in three scrimmages against the Varsity Teams of SUNY Maritime and the US Coast Guard Academy.

The 2004-05 Fencing team saw daily action during the ending days of summer into the fall and later in the winter thaw and beginning of spring. A common sight was to see fierce one-on-one engagements in the late afternoon, most of which were conducted behind 1st Battalion between Palmer Hall and Murphy Hall. The many upperclassmen who have taken up Fencing as a fun recreational activity have been bolstered each year by the new plebes. In the future, the club hopes to expand and possibly compete in local competitions. Lesson One - Hold it like this, it looks cooler. Got You! No. I got you first!

LEISURE Kings Point has a great history of racing in the Sound, however, sailing isn't all about competition. The J- 24 team participates in the Wednesday Night Races, hosted by the City Island Yacht Club. This team is a mellow group of kids just learning how to sail big boats. This gives them the opportunity to enjoy the water and also to have team building as they do the friendly races. Avalanche is a gorgeous yacht that is skippered by Glenn Atherton. He runs the boat with a tight hand so nothing happens to her beautiful hull, but everyone seems to have fun. She does day cruises and some over nighters. She also goes to regattas in the area to serve as the Midshipman hotel. Growler, Storm, and Avalanche are docked hip to hip at Port Jefferson. Avalanche docks in Port Jefferson during her first cruise in the fall of 2004 105 DINGHY SAILING Competing in the Navy fall National Qualifiers (women) and Laser National Championships (men) the double and single handed teams competed well.

This was the first year we were able to have enough women on the team to actually create a women's team for both single and double handed regattas. In their first year the ladies made it to national qualifiers. Most the the women’s team had no sailing experience prior to coming to Kings Point. The men's single handed team turned to and did an excellent job. Two of them came in the top ten. Watch out for freshman Chris Branning, he has quite a sailing future in front of him. Great job to Dan Ramsay 05 who proved quite the competition for the rest of the guys out there. Chris Branning ‘08 and friend nearly collide while they are windsurfing on the Long Island sound. 107 It'S a chilly day at Kings Point. The ice breaking Growler has been brought out by Tormond Envig ‘05 and his crew Ted Castellini ‘05, Kyle Fries ‘06, and Brian Fantel ‘06 to break through the ice.

Graduation. But the academic year was also marked by a number of tragic events. Four young Kings Pointers lost their lives in the space of five months. Jay Seipp ‘05 perished in a car crash on New Year’s Day while home on holiday leave. (See his special memorial section on pages 172-173 of this yearbook.) In early May, the Academy community was shocked by the news of the deaths of Matthew Freeman ‘05 and Brett Penfold ‘06 in a terrible car accident just a mile from Vickery Gate. And just a few days later, word reached Kings Point that Aaron Seesan ‘03 was killed while serving his country in the U.S. Army as a First Lieutenant in Iraq. We remember our departed classmates, friends and Kings Pointers in these pages. (Left) The Memorial Service for Matthew Freeman was held at the USMMA in the Mariners Chapel.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. -The Bible : 1 Corinthians 13:4 - CONGRATULATIONS!

Jeremiah 29:11 With love and pride, Dad, Mom, Casey and Emily You By Edgar Guest You are the fellow that has to decide Whether you'll go it or toss it aside. You are the fellow who makes up your mind Whether you'll lead or will linger behind Whether you'll try for the goal that's afar Or just be contented to stay where you are. Take it or leave it. Here's something to do! Just think it over — It's all up to you! What do you wish? To be known as a shirk. Known as a good man who's willing to work. Scorned for a loafer or praised by your chief. Rich man or poor man or beggar or thief? Eager or earnest or dull through the day, Honest or crooked? It's you who must say! You must decide in the face of the test Whether you'll shirk it or give it your best. Nobody here will compel you to rise; No one will force you to open your eyes; No one will answer for you yes or no. Whether to stay there or whether to go. Life is a game, but it's you who must say, Whether as cheat or as sportsman you'll play. Fate may betray you, but you settle first Whether to live to your best or your worst. So, whatever it is you are wanting to be, Remember, to fashion the choice you are free. Kindly or self ish, or gentle or strong, Keeping the right way or taking the wrong, Careless of honor or guarding your pride, All these are questions which you must decide. Yours the selection, whichever you do; The thing men call character's up to you! 456 I I DEAREST GABRIEL, WE WISH YOU ALL OF THE BEST IN THE YEARS TO COME AND ARE SO PROUD OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

I’m not going to chastise anyone or pass out any free advice, |6 I’m just going to say my thank ]] yous! I would like to thank my “skeleton” staff along with my “slave” staff, i.e., ED kids who a certain Company Officer passed onto me. Without the help of these individuals, the book would never have been completed. Thank you to Lt Hughes for being that certain Company Officer. Thank you, Kyle! I am glad that you were gracious enough to accept your position as managing editor, seeing that I was the only first-classman with experience on the yearbook staff. This yearbook was a challenge. I would also like to thank Mr. Skrocki. You gave me some of the best advice that anyone could ask for: “Always try to be optimistic and believe that they will get (most) of the work done!” Finally, I would like to thank my brother. Jess, I would have never taken on Editor-in-Chief without you. You have paved the rocky road here at KP for me. Through thick and thin you are one of the toughest guys I know. m spin ion :ecov ik sc 35W0 ■iodi JOSllOl (fOlltft Libby Palker Editor-in-Chief 'Ooi) 2005 eprim ■ ( 490 Colophon Midships 2005 is the 62nd edition of the yearbook of the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY.
