Fall Kick-Off Huge Success

The Adelphi University Department of Intercollegiate sports hosted its annual Fall Kick-Off Cocktail Party on Monday, November 8th at the Chateau Briand in Carle Place, N.Y. The event generated over $9,000 for Adelphi University Panther Athletics. The dinner was sponsored by the Adelphi University Panther Club.
In addition to the 260 guests in attendance, two other noteworthy people attended the event. The event featured special guest of honor Rich "Goose" Gossage, a Hall of Famer, and WFAN's Ed Randall of "Talking Baseball". Randall interviewed Gossage on stage for 30 minutes as he reflected on his days of being a New York Yankee.
After the event, Adelphi Baseball Head Coach Dom Scala said, "This was indeed a great night for Adelphi University and Intercollegiate Athletics." He continued to say how Gossage stories were a "breath of fresh air" and the crowd seemed to be delighted by his tales of his time with the Yankees.

Alex Trezza Added to Coaching Staff

On September 10, 2010 Coach Scala made the announcement that Alex Trezza would be the new assistant baseball coach for the Panthers. Trezza was added with the expectations that he would help as a hitting coach, with game and practice management, and recruiting. Coach Trezza said that taking the job at Adelphi was a "no brainer" because of Coach Scala and the University's outstanding athletic and academic reputation. In addition, Trezza said that so far the job has exceeded his expectations.
Trezza has also set some goals that he hopes will help improve the baseball team this season. Trezza said his main goal was to "work hard and impart the knowledge [he] learned about the game onto the players." Trezza has had ten years of experience playing professional baseball and an additional four years of coaching experience. Trezza shared that what he enjoyed most about playing baseball was being out on the field with teammates and traveling and meeting new people. As far as coaching, Trezza said, "I love to teach the game of baseball to these young players."
Coach Scala feels that Trezza is a valuable asset to the baseball program because of the wealth of knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for the game that he brings with him.
Trezza played baseball at Stony Brook where he still holds records today. Trezza also said that he played ice hockey in college and still enjoys playing today, that is when he is not coaching at Adelphi of course.
