New Haven Notes
Eric Anderson has opened the 2013-14 campaign with a pair of double-doubles. He posted 18 double-doubles last winter, just one shy of the NCAA Division II leader in that category. The Northeast-10 Defensive Player of the Year and a Second Team All-NE-10 pick, Anderson also ranked third in nation in rebounding with 12.0 boards per game.

Just two games into his junior season, Anderson has already climbed into a tie for fourth all-time at New Haven with 129 rejections. His 71 blocks in 2012-13 were the second-most in a single-season in Charger history, tied with "Dollar Bill" Jeffress' 71 stuffs and two shy of Herb Watkins' 73 rejections - both from the 1986-87 campaign.

Jeffery Adkins is averaging 20 points per game to begin his final season with the Blue and Gold. Adkins, who posted 12.9 points per contest last winter, is the next Charger in line to reach 1,000 career points. He currently sits at 853 tallies.

Adkins also ranks 11th all-time in assists at New Haven with 274 and slots at 16th in career steals with 109.

Justin Exum enters his senior year ranked among the all-time Charger greats from beyond the arc. He slots at second all-time in three-pointers made with 232, and his .385 shooting percentage from distance is the sixth-best in program history. Last season, New Haven's leading scorer with 15.8 points per game knocked down the third-most triples in a season with 82 while shooting at a .432 clip from downtown.

Exum has netted 1,226 career points to land at 21st on the New Haven career ledger. He is three points shy of the top 20 and 401 tallies away from the top 10 in program history.

New Haven continued two positive trends in the first week of the season. The Chargers are committing 12.0 turnovers per game and surrendering 49.0 points per outing. UNH ranked 10th in the nation with 11.0 turnovers per game and placed 13th in Division II defensively with 61.1 points allowed per outing last winter.

The Chargers have been selected to win the Northeast-10 Southwest Division in the conference's Preseason Coaches' Poll. New Haven earned 13 of a possible 14 first-place votes (coaches may not vote for themselves), with one first-place tally apiece going to Southern Connecticut State and Adelphi. The Chargers went 8-4 last season against their six divisional foes. Saint Anselm was tabbed as the unanimous favorite in the NE-10 Northwest Division. The top five teams from each division will qualify for the Northeast-10 Championship.

The 2012-13 Season
New Haven finished last season at 20-9 to record its first 20-win campaign and first NCAA postseason appearance since 2003-04.

The fourth-seeded Chargers upended Dominican, 73-66, in the NCAA East Region Championship Quarterfinals before falling to eventual region champion Franklin Pierce in the semifinal round.

The Chargers earned the third seed in the Northeast-10 Championship with a 16-6 conference record, both program-bests since joining the NE-10 prior to the 2008-09 season.

New Haven was off to a 1-5 start in 2012-13 before winning 19 of its final 23 games. New Haven won six straight games to end the regular season and ran off an 11-game winning streak from Dec. 4 to Jan. 26.

Eric Anderson was selected as the NE-10 Defensive Player of the Year. Anderson and Justin Exum claimed Second Team All-Northeast-10 honors, while Jeffery Adkins, Jr. earned a spot on the All-NE-10 Third Team.

Exum added a National Association of Basketball Coaches Second Team All-East District honor, the first Charger recognized beyond the conference level since Ismael Caro in 2004.

The Chargers went 12-3 in 15 home games last season. New Haven allowed 60.5 points per game to opponents at Charger Gymnasium with Jeremy Williams (16.5 ppg at home) and Justin Exum (16.1 ppg) leading an offense that netted 70.4 points per contest in front of the fans in West Haven.
