Vistnes, Brandman, Guglielmo and Scovel Headline ECC Women’s Soccer All-Conference Awards



Central Islip, N.Y. – Junior Susanne Vistnes (Randaberg, Norway) from LIU Post has once again been selected as the East Coast Conference Women's Soccer Offensive Player of the Year, as voted on by the league's coaches. Vistnes' teammate, Kristin Brandman (East Northport, N.Y.) has been named the Defensive Player of the Year, while Dowling's Melissa Guglielmo (West Babylon, N.Y.) has been named the Goalkeeper of the Year. Mercy freshman back Samantha Scovel (La Mirada, Calif.) wraps up the major awards as the Rookie of the Year. Mercy head coach, Jonathan Feinstein, was also named the Coach of the Year by his peers for the second straight season.

Vistnes earns the conference's top offensive honor for the third straight season. For the third time in as many seasons, Vistnes topped the ECC leader board with 18 goals and 46 points. She also ranked third in the conference by dishing out 10 assists and was the runner-up with four game winning goals. Vistnes prolific scoring ability has her ranked near the top of all of Division II, as well. During the regular season, she ranked second nationally in goals, goals per game (1.13), points, and points per game (2.88).

Brandman takes home the Defensive Player of the Year honor after starring on an LIU Post back line that allowed only nine goals in 16 games. Her play helped LIU Post rank in the top 25 in Division II in both goals against average (0.55) and shutout percentage (.563).

Guglielmo is honored as the Goalkeeper of the Year after compiling a 11-3-2 record in front of the net for the Golden Lions. On the season the three-time ECC Defensive Player of the Week tallied 57 saves for a 0.90 goals against average, both good for fifth in the conference. Guglielmo also posted five shutouts and finished second in ECC action with an .824 save percentage.

Scovel is honored as the conference's top rookie after helping to anchor an imposing back line for Mercy. Scovel started all 17 games for the Mavericks, helping them allow only nine goals and shut out 11 opponents on the season. Her standout play also helped Mercy rank 13th in shutout percentage (.647) and 17th in goals against average (.518) in all of Division II.

Feinstein was named the Coach of the Year for the second straight season by leading the Mavericks to a 14-2-1 record and the No. 2 seed in the ECC Championship tournament for the second consecutive season. Mercy also earned their first-ever national ranking under his guidance, spending five weeks in the rankings and climbing as high as No. 13.

Vistnes, Brandman, Scovel and Guglielmo are joined on the All-Conference First Team by: Jessica DeLeon (F, Mercy), Lindsey Thompson (F, Dowling), Julia Backman (M, LIU Post), Bella Mitrevski (M, Roberts Wesleyan), Nicola Worthington (M, Bridgeport), Abby Zielinski (M, Mercy), and Julia Weidenmark (B, Bridgeport).

Notes On Nutrition And Supplements


Simply use Supplements to enhance and compliment your comprehensive strength and conditioning program. You can take all of the fat burners your want, but if your program is nonexistent, so is your muscle building and fat loss.  -Nate
By BOB MYHAL
    • ** When using a thermogenic product (such as Ripped Fuel, Hydroxycut, EPH 833, etc.) to stimulate fat loss, be sure to take in sufficient amounts of protein'at least 20 grams every 3 hours;to prevent your body from cannibalizing muscle tissue. The easiest, most effective way to do this is with a low-fat protein powder or MRP.


    • *** As far as thermogenics or so-called fat-burners are concerned, ephedrine is still the king of the hill, but when you're deciding on your weightloss supplementation program don't overlook hydroxycitric acid (HCA).

      HCA is derived from the tamarind fruit and seems to work by inhibiting excess carbohydrates from being stored as bodyfat. MuscleTech's Hydroxycut is a popular product containing HCA.

    • *** The chemistry of 19-norandrostenedione is telling. Basically, 19-norandrostenedione is structurally identical to a testosterone molecule right up the chain with two key exceptions: first, it is missing the hydrogen atom in the 17th position and second, it also lacks a carbon atom in the 19th position.

      What happens is that when the liver processes the norandrostenedione molecule it adds a hydrogen atom in the 17th position. The liver, however, has no mechanism for adding the carbon atom in the 19th position.

      What results is virtually a testosterone molecule missing the carbon atom. This molecule has the anabolic properties of testosterone (it may in fact have 2 or 3 times the anabolic effect of testosterone) without the level of androgenic side effects typically seen with extended testosterone use.

    • *** If you're looking to drop fat and get lean, you'll benefit from 3-5 cardiovascular training sessions per week. Ideally, each session should be 30-45 minutes in duration.

      For fat burning, it's actually more beneficial to train at a consistent level of intensity throughout the session rather than using some sort of interval training (as with some of the machines which stimulate a series of inclines and declines).

    Its also crucial for you to do your cardio training on an empty stomach'otherwise you'll simply be burning up glycogen stores (sugar rather than fat). First thing in the morning is the best time for cardio training. If this isn't possible, at least try not to eat for 3 or 4 hours prior to your cardio session, that way you'll be primarily burning fat stores.

This may be the toxin of the century

The “Toxin of the Century”
May be Worse than Mercury

If this toxic metal would stay buried in the Earth’s crust, the world would be a much healthier place.
But it won’t. In fact, it’s everywhere, and most people tend to assume it’s harmless. While everyone worries about heavy metals like lead and mercury, this common metal gets almost no attention.
We decided it’s time to raise the alarm about this widespread contaminant. Read on to find out what it is and the best practices for protecting your body from it.

Bowie State Football Finale, BSU Mens Hoops get trounced at UMD

Bowie State Seniors Go Out with a 35-30 Season Finale Victory against Elizabeth City State



BOWIE, Md. (November 8, 2014) – In the final game of the season for both teams, Bowie State claimed a 35-30 victory over Elizabeth City State. The win, Bowie State’s third in a row and winners of five of their last six games, closeout the season with a 5-5 overall record and 5-2 in the CIAA.

As a team, the Bulldogs rolled up 434 yards of total offense with graduate student Matthew Goggans (Pine Grove, Calif.) responsible for a personal season-best 368 passing yards and four touchdowns. Junior Garry Cropper (Odenton, Md.) was Bowie State’s top receiver with a career-best 119 yards on eight catches. The Bulldogs defense was led by graduate student Christopher Townsend (Washington, D.C.) with a team-high 10 tackles.

Bowie State University used a big third quarter and held off a late Viking rally to topple Elizabeth City State University 35-30 Saturdayafternoon at Bulldogs Stadium.

Elizabeth City State’s Tyrell Houghton (Reidsville, N.C.) topped all performers posting career highs in both passing and rushing. Houghton had four passing touchdowns finishing with 485 yards though the air and carried the ball eight times for 105 yards on the ground both game-highs. As a team the Vikings totaled an impressive 617 yards of offense, their largest output since October 19, 2013 when they hung 585 yards on The Lincoln University.

However despite their big offensive numbers, two costly turnovers were major momentum swings that would turn in the favor of the Bulldogs.

Defensively the Vikings were paced by Stephen Williams who led all defenders with a game high 14 tackles.

Elizabeth City State (4-6, 3-4 CIAA) held a 10-7 lead in the second quarter faced third and goal at the Bowie State one yard line. A bad exchange between Houghton and Kenny King was recovered by BSU’s Townsend, costing the Vikings a scoring opportunity. Another chance at putting points on the board was squandered when in the BSU red zone when Houghton’s pass was intercepted in the end zone and returned by redshirt freshman Austin Phillips (Pomfret, Md.) to the ECSU 43.

For the day the Vikings were 4-for-7 in the red zone and were flagged 10 times for 118 yards.

The Bulldogs had seemingly put the game away after Goggans’ fourth passing TD of the day gave Bowie State 35-17 lead with 7:26 left in the game.

The Vikings rallied back scoring two touchdowns in less than a minute in the final 1:41 of the contest. Antonio Gunter (Raleigh, N.C.) hauled in a four yard scoring pass and after a successful onside kick, the Vikings struck again with 53 ticks left. Javoris Bryant (Decatur, Ga.) recorded a five yard TD reception from Houghton, his second score of the day, pulling Elizabeth City State within striking distance. Bryant had a career day, catching nine passes for a game-high 222 yards. Montario Hunter (Ahoskie, N.C.) also eclipsed 100 receiving yards, recording 167 yards on the loss.

However the Vikings did not convert the two point attempt and their try for another onside kick was covered by BSU’s Cropper.  The Bulldogs then ran out the clock for the five point win.

Prior to the game, 11 Bulldogs seniors (Keith Brown, Joseph Coates, Nigel Cross, Mario Diaz-Aviles, Jeremy Dorsey, Khari Lee, Jeffrey Ojiribe, Paxton Queen, Jair Ramos, Christopher Townsend and Leroy Williams) were honored.

Maryland Terrapins Cruise to 89-47 Exhibition Win over Bowie State Bulldogs



COLLEGE PARK, Md. (November 8, 2014) – The Maryland Terrapins led from start-to-finish against Bowie State, cruising to an 89-47 exhibition win over the Bulldogs.

Junior Justin Beck (Baltimore, Md.) paced the Bulldogs with team-highs of 10 points and six rebounds.  Junior Andre Jackson (Baltimore, Md.) added nine points which included a perfect 4-for-4 at the free throw line while fellow junior Julian Livingston (Bowie, Md.) contributed six points.

When asked about Bowie State’s overall performance, sixth year head coach Darrell Brooks said, ““I thought that in the first half we shot very poorly and I know we are a much better shooting team. You have to give their defense credit and I thought we just missed some shots that were open that we should have made. I thought that at times we let the lack of shooting affect how we played in other areas of the game, which we cannot allow to happen. I thought we played hard.”

Maryland shot 57.8 percent from the field (26-for-45) compared to 22.2 percent (16-for-63) for Bowie State. The Bulldogs shot well at the charity stripe, knocking down 14-of-19.

Jack Layman led four Terps in double figure scoring, pumping in 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting to go along with seven rebounds. Dion Wiley and Jared Nickens added 13 and 12 points respectively for Maryland and Dez Wells tallied 11 points on the afternoon.

In terms of playing in a big arena against Maryland, Brooks said, “I really like [Turgeon’s] team and they play very hard. The good thing for them is that they have young guards, but they are only going to get better and better. We were beaten by the better team, but it is nice to know we are still 0-0 and nobody got hurt. Whenever we play in an arena like this against a program like Maryland, we just have to play better, especially on the offensive end. We will be better and we look forward to getting back to work on Monday and opening up the regular season next weekend.” 

The Bulldogs open the regular season on Friday (November 14th) versus Millersville in the opening game of the Lincoln (Pa.) University Classic. Tip time is set for 6 pm.
