Program Notes
2008 Season Preview As the 2008 women’s lacrosse season approaches, the team is looking forward to making more progress toward becoming one of the elite programs in the NESCAC, as well as the nation. The team returns all but one player from a 2007 squad that narrowly missed a berth in the NESCAC Championships and had victories over nationally ranked Union, Babson, and Tufts. Highlighting the group of returners are senior tri-captains Katie Nickerson, Cara Sweeney and Molly Wagner. Nickerson and Sweeney anchor the defensive end of the field; Nickerson has started in goal for each of the past two years, while Sweeney has anchored the defensive unit. Wagner was honored last spring as a Third Team All American as a midfielder, becoming the first Bobcat since Molly McMahon ’99 in the spring of 1998 to receive this award. The Bobcats also return four 2007 All-Region performers (in addition to Sweeney and Wagner) in junior Caroline Thomas and sophomores Morgan Maciewicz, Katelyn Drake and Molly Radis, as well as the return of a 2006 All-Region honoree, senior Meg Coffin, from a knee injury suffered in the fall of 2006. Academically, the team was honored as an IWLCA Academic honor squad, and their 3.32 grade point average was the seventh highest in the country for Division III institutions. Looking ahead to the coming spring, the team is planning a February break trip to Florida and opens the season with back to back home games with Middlebury and Babson on March 8 and March 9. |
