Mission & Goals Statement of the Department of AthleticsThe Georgetown University Department of Athletics, as part of a university with roots in the Jesuit tradition of education, commits itself to the comprehensive development of the student. The interdependence of the physical, emotional, moral and intellectual aspects of personal growth requires simultaneous and balanced focus. This objective does not imply that each facet of an individual’s psychological, social and academic growth is of equal importance. It does require that Georgetown provide the means and encouragement for each person to develop according to his or her own interests and abilities. This is especially true in athletics, whether at the recreational, intercollegiate, intramural or instructional level. In addition to physical development, the Department of Athletics promotes principles of character, development and sportsmanship within the framework of an abiding and broadened commitment to community. Accordingly, the Athletics Department is committed to, fosters and pursues the fair and equitable treatment of both men and women, and the provision of equitable access and opportunities for minority students and institutional personnel.

NCAA Position on GamblingThe NCAA opposes all forms of legal and illegal sports wagering. Sports wagering has the potential to undermine the integrity of sports contests and jeopardizes the welfare of student-athletes and the intercollegiate community. Sports wagering demeans the competition and competitors alike by a message that is contrary to the purposes and meaning of “sport.” Sports competition should be appreciated for the inherent benefits related to participation of student-athletes, coaches and institutions in fair contests, not the amount of money wagered on the outcome of the competition. For these reasons, the NCAA membership has adopted specific rules prohibiting athletics department staff members and student-athletes from engaging in gambling activities as they relate to intercollegiate or professional intercollegiate or professional sporting events.

Title IX and NCAA Peer ReviewThe Georgetown University Athletics Department has undergone two extensive reviews of its athletic programs: an audit by the Department of Education concerning Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and Georgetown’s inaugural review under the NCAA’s new Athletics Certification program. The Department of Education has found Georgetown’s athletic programs to be in compliance with Title IX, and the University was certified by the NCAA in November of 1995 and again in 2001.

Anti-Discrimination PolicyIn accordance with the requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the implementing regulations promulgated under each of these federal statutes, Georgetown University does not discriminate in its programs, activities, or employment practices on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability. The University’s compliance program under these statutes and regulations is supervised by Rosemary Kilkenny, Special Assistant to the President of Affirmative Action Programs. Her office is located in Room G-10, Darnall Hall, and her telephone number is (202) 687-4798.

Combining the tradition of be-ing the oldest Catholic institution of higher learning in the United States with an awareness of ever-changing educational needs, Georgetown University continues to challenge the minds of young men and women eager to learn. Founded in 1789 as George-town College, a small gathering of 12 students and a handful of professors, it has grown into a major international university that includes four undergraduate schools, respected graduate pro-grams, a law school and a medical school.

Georgetown’s 104-acre Main and Medical Center campus, locat-ed in a historic neighborhood of our nation’s capital and overlooking the Potomac River, houses 64 buildings including a hospital and hotel, athletic fields and student residences that can accommodate more than 6,000 students. Ranked among the nation’s most distinguished institutions of higher learning, the success of the University’s philosophy and en-deavors is reflected in its enrollment and applicant pool. Its student body, one of the most geographically diverse in the country, consists of individuals from all 50 states and 132 foreign countries, while

only 21 percent of its applicants for the freshman class of 2011 were accepted. In the classroom, the University offers state-of-the-art facilities, while holding less than an 8-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio. Today more than 13,000 students are enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs at Georgetown University, served by more than 1,200 full time and 450 part time faculty. 700 full-time and 350 part-time professors teach undergraduates on the main campus. Distinguished professors include former Secre-tary of State Madeleine Albright, former Director of the CIA George Tenet, best-selling author and linguist Deborah Tannen, former National Security Advisor Anthony Lake, and former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar. Recent visiting faculty include Grammy-winner Bobby McFerrin and acclaimed author Mario Vargas Llosa.

Georgetown is a Catholic and Jesuit, student-centered research university.

Established in 1789 in the spirit of the new republic, the University was founded on the principle that serious and sustained discourse among people of different faiths, cultures, and beliefs promotes intellectual, ethical and spiritual understanding. We embody this principle in the diversity of our students, faculty and staff, our commitment to justice and the common good, our intellectual openness and our international character.

An academic community dedicated to creating and communicating knowledge, Georgetown provides excellent undergraduate, graduate and professional education in the Jesuit tradition for the glory of God and the well-being of humankind.

Georgetown educates women and men to be reflective lifelong learners, to be responsible and active participants in civic life, and to live generously in service to others.

athletics at GeoRGetoWn Georgetown University’s varsity athletics programs are a major component of the undergraduate experience. Georgetown offers 29 varsity sports that compete at the Division I level, most of them in the nationally-recognized BIG EAST Conference. Georgetown’s 800-plus student-athletes are a major portion of the University’s enrollment, with more than one of every 10 undergradu-ates, competing on a team. Athletics at Georgetown enjoys a rich history dating back to the first documented athletic contest, a baseball game on May 10, 1870. Georgetown’s tradition includes a total of 17 team and 18 individual national championships, while boasting numerous Olympians, National Players of the Year and All-Americans. The success continued for Georgetown athletics during the 2008-09 academic year. Twenty-seven student-athletes earned All-America honors, while an ad-ditional 65 earned all-conference recognition, including five major conference award winners, and 269 received academic acknowledgement. Highlights from this year include a regular season championship, NCAA Tournament berths and numerous individual honors. The women’s lacrosse squad had an outstanding year winning the regular season championship, advancing to the BIG EAST Tournament championship game and earning an at-large NCAA bid. Seven Hoyas were named All-BIG EAST and the team won three major awards including BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year for Head Coach Ricky Fried and his assistants. The track & field program had another strong season with the women finishing second at the Indoor BIG EAST Championship and the men placing third at the outdoor conference meet. Georgetown graduate stu-dent Maggie Infeld won the 1,500 meters and anchored the winning 4x800 meter relay team. Overall, the pro-gram had 16 All-Americans. This followed a successful fall that saw Andrew Bumbalough capture the BIG EAST Cross Country title. Both the men’s and women’s basketball teams quali-fied for the postseason. The men received a bid to the NIT led by BIG EAST Rookie of the Year Greg Monroe. The women advanced to the WNIT for the first time since 2003 playing late into March eventually falling in the tournament quarterfinals. Senior Karee Houlette was an All-BIG EAST performer. The men’s and women’s soccer squads both made the BIG EAST Tournament after successful seasons. After receiving a first-round bye, the women hosted their first BIG EAST quarterfinal in the program’s history. On the water, sophomore Charlie Buckingham was awarded the Everett B. Morris Trophy which goes to the College Sailor of the Year. It marked the second year in a row a Hoya had received the honor and the third recognition in four years. A total of six GU sailors were named All-American following the close of the season. Also, women’s rowing head coach Glenn Putyrae and his staff were named the BIG EAST Rowing Coaching Staff of the Year after the Hoyas finished fourth at the BIG EAST Championships. Two famous firsts also occurred during the 2008-09 season as the Georgetown softball team set off on its maiden voyage in BIG EAST play, narrowly missing the conference tournament. The Georgetown women’s golf team also hosted the NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championship for the first time. The event was held at the Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md., during the month of May.

histoRY For more than 215 years, Georgetown University has overlooked the banks of the Potomac River. Georgetown owes its existence to Father John Carroll, whose desire for an academy to educate the Catholic youth of the na-tion that gave root to the founding of Georgetown. Construction began on the first building in 1788, but the first student, William Gaston, arrived from North Carolina in 1791 before it was even completed. Two years later, Charles and George Dinnies, brothers from New York, were awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts and be-came the College’s first graduates. By 1871, Georgetown had expanded to include two professional schools: medicine and law, and gradually moved towards establishing itself as a university. During this time, the school was guided by the efforts of Patrick F. Healy, S.J., who is often referred to as its second founder. The son of an Irish immigrant and a former slave, Father Healy became the first African-American to earn a Ph.D. and the first to head a predominantly white university. President from 1874 until 1882, he is credited with guiding Georgetown from a small liberal arts college to a modern university. Women began to study at Georgetown when the School of Nursing was founded in 1903. Their enroll-ment increased gradually through the first part of the century and by 1952 was admitted to all schools but the College of Arts and Sciences. At the end of the 1960’s, the University became fully coeducational, as women were admitted to the college. The 1980’s were highlighted by intense growth and prosperity through the leadership of its 46th President Timothy S. Healy, S.J. Its academic reputation improved, its endowment increased five-fold, minority enrollment grew and a host of building were constructed includ-ing Yates Field House, the Intercultural Center and the Leavey Center.

FacilitiesA major new addition to Georgetown’s campus is

the Southwest Quadrangle, a $188.5 million initiative that was the largest construction project in Georgetown history. Part of an ongoing effort to enhance the quality of campus life, the project provided a new 784-bed residence hall, a multi-level underground parking facil-ity, a 1,200-person Leo J. O’Donovan S.J. dining hall, and a new home for Georgetown’s Jesuit Community. Additionally, the Davis Performing Arts Center and the Wagner Alumni House opened in Fall 2005, and a new home for the McDonough School of Business is under construction.

In October of 1988 the Leavey Center was con-structed to house the Office of Student Affairs, the University Bookstore, a cafeteria, several restaurants, a Marriott hotel with 150 rooms, and a parking garage.

For recreation and relaxation, students and faculty head to Yates Field house, a four level sports complex. Among the features of this facility are 12 multi-purpose courts for tennis, basketball, racquetball, squash, and volleyball; a four-lane, 200-meter indoor jogging track; a dance studio; and an eight-lane swimming pool with separate diving area.

The Edward B. Bunn Intercultural Center is an example of Georgetown’s look to the future. The center brings together, under the world’s largest solar electric roof, all of the University’s teaching programs in comparative and regional studies, international affairs and diplomacy, and foreign languages. The building houses one of Georgetown’s three computer centers, an interactive teaching lab, a television studio, language laboratories, and an interpreter training facility using state-of-the art equipment for simultaneous interpreta-tion.

VolunteeRisM & seRViceAt Georgetown, community service and

volunteerism have long been defining characteristics of students’ education and the University’s mission. Georgetown embraces and lives out the Catholic, Jesuit ideal of service in its undergraduate, graduate, law and medical schools. Georgetown currently sponsors more than 100 community service initiatives that involve countless students, faculty, staff and alumni, and range from teaching children to offering pro bono legal services and providing health care for the medically underserved.

As a Catholic, Jesuit university, Georgetown undergraduates have historically chosen service careers in high numbers after graduation; in 2003, according to a voluntary survey of graduating seniors, more than 139 chose jobs in the public sector -- non-profit institutions, volunteer service, education, government service, Jesuit Volunteer Corps and other organizations in addition to the Peace Corps.

In 2005, Georgetown University produced the second highest number of Peace Corps volunteers among all private universities in the country, with 67 Georgetown alumni joining the Peace Corps.

inteRnational educationCultural immersion and a rigorous educational

experience abroad are an integral part of the Georgetown tradition of liberal education. Georgetown University takes great pride in its international character and is recognized as a national leader in international learning, providing overseas study opportunities for its students and hosting international students on campus. The Office of International Programs at Georgetown University fosters the international character of the University by promoting, supporting and developing a wide range of international and intercultural opportunities for members of the Georgetown community. Through study abroad and internationally focused study, students can increase their awareness of the global community, learn about another country’s culture and history and broaden their language and communication skills. Approximately 54 percent of Georgetown University students decide to participate in academic programs overseas. Students who study overseas return with valuable new perspectives on the world. Graduating seniors consistently list these experiences as one of the five top areas of satisfaction with their Georgetown education. Additionally, international students, researchers, and faculty are an extremely important part of the Georgetown community. Nearly 2,000 individuals, including 250 undergraduates, from more than 130 foreign countries study, conduct research, and teach at Georgetown. International students make up approximately eleven percent of the Georgetown student body. The Office of International Programs provides a variety of support services to international students, researchers, and faculty at Georgetown, including cultural and educational programming, immigration advising and personal counseling.

diVeRsitYGeorgetown University’s commitment to di-

versity is manifested in its student body -- which includes people of many different ethnic and religious backgrounds -- and in its commitment to the recruitment of outstanding women and mi-norities to join its community of faculty and staff. Georgetown is an equal opportunity employer, and makes a concerted effort to achieve ethnic and gender diversity throughout its workforce.

The January 2003 issue of Black Enterprise magazine ranked Georgetown third after Stanford and Columbia among non-historically black colleges and universities as a place where African American students feel that their aspirations are supported. In November 2003, the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education ranked Georgetown 19th out of the top 50 highest academically ranked universities in the nation for its percentage of black students.

Georgetown University has long been a leader among America’s most selective institutions in promoting a diverse student body. Nearly 22 percent of Georgetown’s undergraduate population is from a minority ethnic background;

The Washington, D.C. metropolitan area has it all when it comes to sports — a team from every major league is represented, and in some cases fans are divided among area rivals. Since Baltimore and Washington, D.C. are only 30 miles apart, members of the metropolitan area gear up for fall in either purple and black to support the Baltimore Ravens or burgundy and gold to cheer on the hometown Washington Redskins. The Redskins still make FedEx Field in Landover, Md. their home, while the Ravens play less than an hour away at M&T Bank Stadium in the heart of Baltimore. When winter comes and Georgetown is on the road, fans can still venture to Verizon Center to see the NBA’s Washington Wizards or the Washington Capitals of the NHL. After March Madness, fans are still not in a drought for sports action, as the Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles return from spring training for their opening day celebrations. The Nationals moved into their new home, Nationals Park, at the beginning of the 2008 season, while RFK Stadium will still be used by D.C. United of Major League Soccer as well as the Washington Freedom of Women’s Professional Soccer.The Washington Kastles of World Team Tennis, the 2009 WTT Champions, make their home at Kastles Stadium at CityCenter DC, close to Verizon Center. Since the Nationals are a new addition to the D.C. sports scene, many loyal fans still make the short trip to Baltimore to watch the Orioles in Camden Yards. If a fan prefers the farm system instead, nine minor league baseball teams call the D.C. metropolitan area their home, including Single-A, Double-A and Triple-A affiliates for the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Pittsburgh Pirates, Nationals and Orioles.Or if they can’t stand the heat of the summer, D.C. sports fans can head inside to Verizon Center to watch the Washington Mystics of the WNBA compete. An exercise enthusiast’s paradise in the middle of the city, Rock Creek Park contains 1,754 acres of trees and forest, including a nature center, riding stables, tennis courts, a golf course, 30 picnic areas, playing fields and an extensive network of trails for walking, jogging and cycling.

Dave Nolan begins his sixth year as head coach with the Hoyas and 11th overall, having been an as-sistant for five years prior to being named head coach. In his time at Georgetown, Nolan has guided the Hoyas to national prominence over the most suc-

cessful period in program history. Within the past two seasons, the team has set records for most regular season wins (14), most BIG EAST wins (8), highest BIG EAST finish (2nd), most shutouts (11), and a program best start of 8-0-2. Most notably,

the team earned its first NCAA Tournament appearance and best overall regular season

finish of 13-4-2. Boasting a high-powered offense

(2.54 goals per game) complemented by a talented defense (0.59 goals against per game) in 2008, the Hoyas made the BIG EAST Championship Tournament for the fourth time in five seasons and hosted the quarterfinals for the first time in school his-tory. The team advanced to the BIG EAST Championship semifinals for the first time in 2007 after defeating the #23 UConn Huskies (11/4/07). This success earned Georgetown its first NSCAA/adidas No. 1 Regional Ranking and the first in a series of National Top 20 rankings by the NSCAA/adidas (No. 17), Soccer America (No. 16), SoccerBuzz Magazine (No. 19), and TopDrawerSoccer.com (No. 20). In addition the Hoyas have earned a number of national, regional and BIG EAST individual honors. While a Hoya assistant, Nolan coor-dinated recruiting, developed goalkeep-ers and worked closely with head coach Diane Drake in all aspects of preparing the

team. He brings a wide range of coaching experience to the Hilltop, having played and coached at various national and interna-tional levels. Nolan came to Georgetown in 1999 after spending the 1998 season on the Seton Hall women’s soccer staff, serving as the goalkeeper coach. Prior to his coaching stint at Seton Hall, Nolan was an assistant coach at Farleigh Dickinson University dur-ing the 1997 fall season. In addition to coaching at Georgetown, Nolan has helped to develop players for the U-16, U-17, U-19 and U-21 U.S. National teams. He is the coach for the DC U-17 team, Super Y, helping lead them to a national championship appearance in 2003. Nolan also coaches at the Bethesda Soc-cer Club and currently coaches the U-15 Bethesda Dragons. His U-18 Bethesda Excel team made an unprecedented three-consecutive national championship appearances. Bethesda Excel was also the Region 1 Champions from 2003-05 and has been ranked among the top club teams in the nation during the stretch. Last summer, Nolan was invited to work with the U-17 Women’s National Team. He traveled to their camps in Vancouver and Seattle and helped with instruction and overseeing daily practices. A member of the National Team Pool in Ireland at the youth level, Nolan came to the United States and played soccer at Seton Hall. A four-year starter, he led the Pirates to four-consecutive NCAA tournament berths and two BIG EAST Conference championships. Selected to the 1987 BIG EAST Conference Tournament team, Nolan was named the BIG EAST Conference Student-Athlete of the Year in 1991. Nolan was a New Jersey State U-23 team selec-tion in 1992 and a New Jersey Senior Side representative from 1993-97. He received a bachelor’s degree in finance in 1991 and later earned a master of business adminis-tration in 1993, also from Seton Hall. Nolan holds a premier national license from the National Soccer Coaches Asso-ciation of America (NSCAA) and a United States Soccer Federation “A” license. Nolan is a Maryland ODP coach, holding international credentials, including an Irish FA Preliminary badge and a coaching di-ploma from the KNVB (Royal Dutch Soccer Association).

10 Questions with dave nolanPersonally, what is your philosophy when it comes to Georgetown wom-en’s soccer?The kids should be having fun. They should feel that they are being challenged to work hard and achieve here at Georgetown. We set lofty goals and we have high expecta-tions but we do it in a fun, positive and supportive nature. If they aren’t enjoying themselves than it’s truly counter-productive to everything we’re trying to do here. There is a fine line between pushing them too much and pushing them just enough. This is a sport our girls love to play and I in turn, love to coach them. That balance has been there consistently in my time at Georgetown and it has helped us make inroads as a national player these past few years.

What has been one main ingredient of your success in building this program?Good players. The better the players, the better I coach apparently. But honestly, the kids are the main reason for our growth these past couple of years. I try to chal-lenge them to become better students – players and students. They do all the hard work.

Your team has always ranked at, or near, the top when it comes to number of Academic All-Stars. How have your teams been able to achieve academic and athletic success at the same time?The nature of our school is one where academics get placed first, second and sometimes third. Georgetown has led the BIG EAST the last few years in Academic All-Stars and we had 17 girls receive hon-ors from the conference for their work dur-ing the 2008-09 academic year. The types of kids that we have, they have a passion to succeed on the field as well as the class-room. We have an outstanding support system here with Dr. Shelly Habel helping our kids with the demands that are put on them. Our coaching staff does a great job of recognizing our kids’ needs and we plan our practices and everything accordingly so we don’t over-tax them and we can do things efficiently.

When you are on the road recruiting, what is the most important thing you look for in a student-athlete?Besides talent? Character. I like to see how kids will react in different situations. Whether they are winning or losing, how they interact with teammates, how they treat officials, how they handle adversity, etc. Basically, how they act in the arena of sport and competition.

Heading into the season, what do you see as the keys to success in 2009?Three things are important to all teams. We have to stay healthy, something that didn’t really happen last year. We have to have an

emergence of strong leadership from some of our players and finally, we need to have that little bit of luck when those other two things are not quite enough.

How do you think the Georgetown women’s soccer program is perceived on a national level and how would you characterize the current state of the program?The last few years we have emerged as a top-level program due to our success in the conference and cracking the top 20 nation-ally. Our qualification for the NCAA Tourna-ment for the first time was also a substantial step in the process. We are beginning to be viewed in a different light than we had been seen previously here at Georgetown.

What will it take to maintain the Georgetown program at that level?We have to continue to work hard. We cannot take anything for granted. The moment you think you have arrived, there is a tendency to take your foot of the gas pedal. They always say it is easier to get where you are going than it is to stay there and I think that’s something we are going to have to learn to handle. We have worked hard and it has paid off with four BIG EAST trips in the past five years and the ability to attract better players to Georgetown. How-ever, the better the player, the more intense the pursuit for that player becomes. It’s very important that we as a whole do not grow complacent with our successes and stay intent on achieving more.

What makes the BIG EAST Conference so special to play in?There is absolutely nothing like it. As some-one who has played in it (at Seton Hall) and now coaches in it, it is truly a remarkable league. It’s the largest conference in the nation and a team from our conference is

always competing for a national title (eight NCAA Championship game participants over the last 13 seasons). The rivalries, the similarities between the universities, the various locations, all make this an incred-ible league. Whether it’s our long-standing rivalry with Villanova, our recent rivalry with West Virginia, traveling up to Storrs to play UConn or taking on the prestige when you square off against Notre Dame, there is no easy game in the BIG EAST.

What comes to mind when you look back at last season?The perseverance these young ladies showed. They dealt with a tremendous amount of adversity last season, losing Ingrid and Sara, dealing with eight games in 16 days, and it showed me a lot about the character of this team. They dealt with things, they rolled with the punches, and they could have complained or had excuses for poor performances, but they handled everything that was thrown at them. In the end, their attitude throughout the season was a main key to our success.

How will that be a beneficial factor when it comes to this season? We found ways to win games. How many times did we find a way to win last season? The opener set the tone, a hard-fought win at American. Then Sara goes down in non-conference play and we don’t lose a game. We had games were we were out-shot but earned points, like against Seton Hall and Rutgers. Then we go and drop contests at WVU and Pittsburgh, both in double-overtime, and that could have sent us on a downward spiral. However, we won our last three regular-season games all by one goal and finished with our best conference record ever. I really think the roller coaster ride that these girls experienced last year will help us considerably in 2009.

Georgetown head coach Dave Nolan leads his Hoya team into the 2009 season, hoping to build on a record-setting 2008. The Hoyas lost five players, three starters from last season’s team, but return six players who have received BIG EAST honors over the last two seasons: Ingrid Wells, Toni Marie Hudson, Sara Jordan, Kelly D’Ambrisi, Jackie DesJardin and Caitlin Durkee. GU returns seven of its top eight scorers from a season ago along with a solid defensive corps and goalkeeper. Those returnees, mixed with a talented recruiting class and belief in a common goal should create a winning program on the Hilltop once again this season.

Forwards After earning Second Team All-BIG EAST honors last season and tying the single-season record with 10 goals, Hudson should expect to see more defenses focus on her due to her deadly finishing ability. She currently sits ninth on the all-time goal scoring list and with another stellar season could rank among the most prolific offensive players in GU history. Jordan’s return from an early-season injury last year is a big boost for the offense. Regaining a creative and experienced goal-scorer that could break every career offensive record can only im-prove a GU attack that averaged over two goals per contest last season. Samantha Baker, last season’s leading scorer for GU, will be used out on the wings and is extremely dangerous on set pieces. Her ability to deliver long throw-ins helped her become a huge offensive threat as she delivered 10 assists. She also had a knack for scoring big goals as she led the team with four game-winners. Sophomore Camille Trujillo steadily improved all season and was one of the stronger players on the team when 2008 ended. A spark off the bench, she finished fourth on the team in goals due to her strong soccer sense and tools around the goal.

Midfielders Midfield could be the strongest area of the Georgetown team this upcoming season with the return of Wells, the 2007 BIG EAST Freshman of the Year. She will team with two fellow BIG EAST honorees, Durkee and D’Ambrisi. With three of the team’s top players in the middle of the pitch, this group of young players should cre-ate opportunities. Wells re-wrote the record books in her fresh-man season and was a NSCAA/adidas All-Amer-ican, the first Hoya to ever earn those honors. The “little general” brings an extra dimension to the offense with her ability to play passes, take defenders off the dribble and raise the tempo on both ends of the field. D’Ambrisi will join her in the midfield attack after finishing third on the team in points last year and being named a Freshman All-American. Her ability to score goals as well as create them, could help her become one of the better offensive players in the conference. At defensive midfield, Durkee has been solid in this role for the past two seasons. The sopho-more showed off her underrated passing ability last season as she dished out 10 assists and is dangerous on set pieces. Her ability to read the game defensively is a byproduct of her hard work on, and off, the field. GU will also use junior Amy Speck, senior Erika Roberts and freshman Mollie Curran in the flanker/defensive midfield role. Speck improved over the off-season and

gained some confidence to match her vision for things on the field of play. Roberts’ attitude, work rate and experience provide another component to the midfield area and Curran provides depth and flexibility on the right side and another techni-cal player for Coach Nolan to call on. Marissa Wing’s size and strength gives GU another option at that spot, newcomer Claire Fuselier has the physical gifts and attitude necessary to contribute and Katie Wing has shown the versatil-ity to play on the offensive side as well as the defensive side.

Defenders Three of the four starters from last year’s defensive unit return as senior Norah Swanson, junior Michaela Buonomo and freshman Gabby Miller helped compose a backline that allowed only 14 goals (0.70 per contest), a Georgetown team record. With the addition of a handful of newcomers, the unit could be even better this season due to their mix of experience and talent Miller followed in Buonomo’s footsteps during her freshman campaign, earning Freshman All-Region honors and developing into a solid center back. The duo teamed together last season and stopped many an opposing attack with their defensive prowess and tenacity. Newcomer Catherine Cabot could make it three-consecutive years for a GU defender to attain freshman hon-ors as she looks to gain a spot in the backfield for the Hoyas. Her height also makes her a danger-ous threat on set pieces offensively. Christina O’Tousa could see time at center back but is very versatile and may move out to a wing or up to the midfield. At right back, Swanson, a captain, will be asked to hold down the position. A veteran of 48 games over the last three seasons, Swanson continues to improve day-by-day. Her emergence as a leader on this team has been evident in pre-season action. On the left side, the departure of Laura Snyder has created an opportunity for one of the new players, Fairfield transfer Kelly Steele and freshman Claire Magiola, to step up and gain a starting spot. Steele brings experience from two NCAA Tournament qualifying seasons and her athleticism could see her snag the starting spot. Meanwhile, Magliola can provide balance and her ability to play on the left side means she could come in straight away and make an impact.

Goalkeepers Junior goalkeeper Jackie DesJardin has emerged as one of the top goaltenders in the conference after being named an NSCAA Regional All-American last season. Her nine shutouts last season broke her own Georgetown single-season record and she currently holds the career goals-against-average record allowing 0.76 goals per contest Sophomore Elizabeth Hanna holds down the backup spot after gaining a year of seasoning and freshmen goalkeepers Kristen Insana and Hanna Monson will provide competition in practice and provide talented alternatives between the pipes.

catheRine cabotI am so excited to finally be a Hoya! Ever since I decided that Georgetown was where I wanted to grow as a soccer player and student, I have been ecstatic to start my college career here. When I was looking at schools, my hope was to attend a university with both academic prowess and a talented soccer team. I know that Georgetown combines the best of both worlds and I could not be more excited to call the Hilltop my new home. Playing soccer at the collegiate level is a dream come true and to be able to play with such talented and nice ladies is absolutely amazing. The team and coaching staff have been so welcoming, and I look forward to learning both on and off the soccer field. I can’t wait to spend my four years here at Georgetown! Hoya Saxa!

noRah sWansonFrom the moment I first stepped on to the Georgetown campus three years ago, I could not picture myself going to school anywhere else. There is an undeniable spirit at Georgetown and I knew right away that I wanted to be a part of it. I feel very privileged to have the opportunity to attend this exciting institution. The students, faculty, and especially my teammates have had a huge influence on my growth. Georgetown is more than a school; it is a community. This place has truly become my second home. My experience being a part of this team has surpassed all of my expectations. Off the field, our team is very supportive of one another in all of our endeavors, academic and philanthropic. The life of a college athlete is not always easy, but we eagerly face these challenges knowing that we have the support of our teammates. Representing Georgetown two years ago at the NCAA tournament was one of my most memorable experiences. As I take the field for one last season, I am proud to represent my university, community and home. Georgetown has prepared me for what is to come, but I will forever cherish what my teammates and I have accomplished as Hoyas.

caitlin duRkeeI chose Georgetown because it was a perfect match from both an academic and soccer standpoint. The biology program and current research program I am involved with have given me an outstanding foundation to help prepare me for the future. In terms of soccer, Georgetown has provided me with an awesome group of friends and also the chance to play in the BIG EAST under a great coaching staff. Attending a prestigious university, playing Division I soccer, and being located in our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., have made my first two years on the Hilltop an amazing experience.

GabbY MilleRFrom the moment I stepped foot onto the Hilltop as a high school student, I had my heart set on Georgetown. I fell in love with the beautiful campus, the sense of academic prestige, and the excitement throughout the university and surrounding area. Nothing could deter me from my goal of one day being able to play soccer for the Hoyas. After spending my freshman season, I now realize that Georgetown is truly unique. No other university creates the perfect balance between school, athletics, and everything else that comes with being a college student. What I enjoy most about being part of the soccer team is the strong friendships that come along with it. I came into preseason with 22 immediate friends and after spending a year playing in games and having countless practices the girls have grown to be my best friends. Thanks to the encouragement of my professors and the support of my teammates and coaches I was able to have an unforgettable first year at Georgetown.

The 2008 season was a successful one for the Georgetown women’s soc-cer program. The team attained their best BIG EAST regular-season finish (8-3-0, 24 points) and finished one win shy of the single-season record set in 2007. The graduating class of seniors left the Hilltop with the most wins of any group, 44, and led the Hoyas to the BIG EAST Tournament for the fourth time in five years. The Blue & Gray also set new team records for shut-outs (11) and fewest goals allowed (14) while achieving the highest single-season winning percentage. Georgetown also hosted a BIG EAST Championship quarterfinal for the first time and had five players (Toni Marie Hudson, Kelly D’Ambrisi, Jackie DesJardin, Caitlin Durkee and Stephanie Zare) named All-BIG EAST, the most ever for the Hoyas. Des-Jardin, Durkee and Zare were also named Regional Academic All-Americans as Georgetown had the most players honored of any BIG EAST team. The squad collected numerous BIG EAST Weekly Awards and various other soccer media outlets (Top-DrawerSoccer.com, SoccerBuzz Magazine, Soccer America) recognized the play of GU’s student-athletes. The 2008 season got off to an auspicious start as the Hoyas fell behind crosstown rival American before rallying for a win in their opening contest. The Hoyas knotted the game in the second half off a goal from Hudson and in the extra frame, Baker col-lected her first points as a Hoya when she tallied the game-winner. The Hoyas rolled over UMBC in the first game of the D.C. Invitational, 7-0, behind goals from five different players and won the tournament with a 2-1 victory over Ohio. Against the Retrievers, freshman Camille Trujillo scored her first goal as a Hoya and junior Erika Roberts earned her first point at GU with an assist. In the Ohio contest, Sara Jordan put the Blue & Gray on the board in the first half and Zare scored with 16 min-utes remaining to provide some breathing room. The opener was the first seven-goal game for GU since 2004 and the win over Ohio was the first against a Mid-American Conference opponent since 2001. Georgetown defeated its first SEC oppo-nent ever with a 3-0 victory over Mississippi State at the George Mason Tournament. Hudson had two goals and an assist while Michaela Buonomo added the third score. The win made them the first GU women’s soccer team to win its first four games. In the second game, the Hoyas played to a scoreless tie with Hartford that snapped their win streak but kept their undefeated streak intact. GU closed non-conference play with two contests on North Kehoe Field. First up for the Blue & Gray was a 3-0 win over Towson. The Hoyas received a goal and two assists

from Hudson along with tallies from fresh-men Baker and Trujillo. The final matchup before BIG EAST play kicked into gear saw Georgetown draw with Penn, 2-2. After falling behind by two goals, Nicole Smith scored her first of the season in the 77th minute and Hudson was awarded an op-portunity to tie the game with a penalty kick three minutes later. The senior converted and the ensuing draw meant the Hoyas had made it through their non-league games without a mark in the loss column (5-0-2). The Blue & Gray opened BIG EAST play against Villanova for the fourth consecutive season. However, the matchup of unbeat-ens didn’t live up to the hype as a George-town dismantled the Wildcats, 3-0. Hudson found the back of the net within the first 10 minutes to set the tone and added another in the second half before D’Ambrisi ended the scoring. It was the first win ever at Villanova, the first win over the Wildcats in seven years and only the second win in 15 all-time meetings between the schools. On a rainy night in South Orange, N.J., the Hoyas defeated Seton Hall, 2-0. George-town’s pair of freshmen forwards did the damage as Baker scored early, Trujillo tal-lied late and the Hoya defense blanked their fifth opponent in six games. It was GU’s first win at Seton Hall in six tries over a span of 13 years. Two days later, the Hoyas were home again to play Rutgers in a pivotal BIG EAST National Division game. Despite not getting in much of an offensive flow during the contest, the defense held strong yet again. DesJardin made four big saves and D’Ambrisi scored her only game-winner of the season in the 71st minute, a beautiful curling ball that found the corner of the goal. The 1-0 victory was the first win at home over Rutgers in nine seasons. After becoming the first Georgetown women’s soccer team to stay unde-feated through their first 10 games, they prepared to welcome the No. 1 team in the nation and eventual undefeated BIG EAST champion, Notre Dame. After falling behind 1-0 on a penalty kick, Zare was able to get her head to a long Baker throw-in. Not only did the ensuing goal tie the score, but also got the crowd back into the contest and swung the momentum for the next couple minutes. However, Notre Dame scored a disputed goal to retake the lead and added another in the second half to hand the Hoyas their first loss, 3-1. The Hoyas responded with convincing home wins over DePaul and Syracuse to apparently get back on track. Due to a viral outbreak on the Georgetown campus, the DePaul game served as Senior Day for GU and they controlled the tempo from the starting whistle. In a 4-0 victory, Durkee dished out a season-high three assists and

received the first collegiate goal from junior Norah Swanson. Hudson would score twice and the Hoyas would benefit from an own goal in a 3-1 win over Syracuse two days later. It was the first win at home over Syra-cuse in 11 years. Heading into their final week of the regu-lar season, the Hoyas still had work to do and goals to attain. Sophomore Courtney Kent started the second half against St. John’s and headed in a throw-in from Baker for her first collegiate goal. The defender who was moved to the front due to her height recorded the game-winner for the Blue & Gray. That weekend, the team hit the road for games with Louisville and Cincinnati. A late Baker goal gave the Hoyas their first win ever against Louisville on Friday night and a Buonomo header in double overtime earned the team their first win ever at Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon. Baker’s goal was her team-leading fourth game-winner of the sea-son and Buonomo’s goal capped off a week where the Hoyas won every game, 1-0. The three-game sweep of BIG EAST opponents earned Georgetown a BIG EAST Champion-ship quarterfinal game against UConn, which they lost, 2-1.

figures also are significant in soccer and baseball. More than 550 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned all America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been well represented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams. Several athletes earned gold medals in each of the last six summer Olympiads. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Provi-dence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 athletes.

households in the U.S. Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 26 national championships in six different sports and 126 student-athletes have won indi-vidual national titles. The BIG EAST has enjoyed tremendous basketball success, especially in this decade. In 2008-09, the BIG EAST produced four of the eight Final Four teams in men’s and women’s basketball. It was only the second time in NCAA history that one conference placed that many Final Four teams in the same season. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and wom-en’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 11 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken six of the last 10 NCAA titles. Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. In 2009-10, the BIG EAST will add men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which will increase its total to 24 sport championships. The first women’s golf championship was held in the spring of 2003. Women’s lacrosse and rowing were added in 2001. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics. Any successful organization has been fortunate to have outstanding leadership. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Dave Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. For 2009-10, the BIG EAST will undergo one significant change. Tranghese stepped down from his position on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who has served as senior associate commissioner, has moved into the Commissioner’s chair. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Champion-ship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past six years. Attendance

With 30 years under its belt, The BIG EAST Conference continues on a path of success in and out of the athletic arena. The goals have always been the same. The league wants and expects to compete at the highest level and does so with integrity and sportsmanship. The commendable performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are the indicators of the league’s proud tradition of success. The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2009-10 academic year will mark the conference’s fifth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference. In 2008-09, BIG EAST student-athletes again succeeded on the national stage. The Connecticut women’s basketball team won its sixth national championship by defeating conference foe Lou-isville in an all-BIG EAST NCAA title game. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team reached the NCAA championship game and the Syracuse field hockey squad advanced to the NCAA Final Four. Three BIG EAST women’s cross country teams finished in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships. West Virginia was fourth followed by Villanova in sixth place and Georgetown in ninth. Individually in women’s sports, Providence’s Danette Doetzel won the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Connecticut’s Maya Moore was the conference’s sixth winner of the Wade Trophy as the top player in women’s basketball. Notre Dame’s Kerri Hanks won the Hermann Trophy, the top award in women’s soccer. On the men’s side, Connecticut and Villanova advanced to the Final Four in basketball. The 2008-09 campaign was arguably the best men’s basketball season in the history of the BIG EAST with the league setting NCAA standards with three No. 1 tournament seeds, four teams in the round of the Elite Eight and five in the Sweet 16. The St. John’s men’s soccer team reached the NCAA College Cup before losing in the national semifinals. BIG EAST football has maintained its high profile and its reputation as a balanced group. Seven of the league’s eight squads were nationally ranked or received votes in the national polls in 2008. Cincinnati was the league champion. The BIG EAST, a charter member of the Bowl Champi-onship Series, has won three of its last four BCS bowl games. West Virginia, Louisville and Con-necticut also have won or shared league crowns over the past four seasons. The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-athletes who were at the forefront of athletic and academic achievement. In 2008-09, 19 BIG EAST players were chosen to their respec-tive ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams, including eight first-team selections. Nearly 400 student-athletes have earned academic all-America honors. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida. BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 34 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one fourth of all television
