The 2008 Holy Cross women’s lacrosse team will be seek- ing its third straight Patriot League regular season and tournament championships, along with its third consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Crusaders return 18 letterwinners, including eight starters, while they welcome 12 freshmen to a team that went 13-6 overall and a perfect 5-0 in the Patriot League in 2007. Holy Cross also returns fi ve players who received all-Patriot League honors a year ago. “There is a sense of excitement, but also a sense of pressure because we want to win the championship again,” said sixth-year head coach and the program’s all-time winningest coach Stephanie Ridolfi . “Two times in a row is tough to do but three times is even harder.” The Crusaders are coming off a fall season that was very help- ful in fi nding out about the team. “The fall was up and down,” said Ridolfi . “We learned a lot about our selves and what we need to fi x and what are strengths are. The players came back this preseason and were a completely different team for the better. The team came back prepared and ready to go.” The senior class of Amy Archambault, Nikki Bolduc, Kris- tine Corkum, Kaitlin Nangle, Cashel Scanlon, Cara O’Sullivan and Kelly Winslow have been a part of teams that have earned a

Senior Kristine Corkum

15-2 record in conference games during their fi rst three seasons and have been major contributors to a program that has reached its fi rst two ever appearances in the NCAA Tournament in school his- tory. “The seniors have been a driving force in our success,” said Ridolfi . “They never take things for granted and only expect things to go the right way if they work for it. They don’t expect things to be handed to them. It is a great tribute to them coming in as fresh- men and helping build the program to where it is today.” This group of seniors also have big game experience, includ- ing two wins in the last two Patriot League Championship games, a victory in the NCAA Tournament Play-In Game in 2006 and two NCAA Tournament games. Ridolfi knows that this is a huge benefi t for her team. “It especially helps with the very large fresh- men and sophomore classes that we have,” said Ridolfi . “They are going to learn a lot from the juniors and seniors, especially about game tactics in the middle of a game and how to lead on and off the fi eld. I think it will be a huge plus for us to have those upperclass- men lead the freshmen and sophomores in big time situations.” Senior tri-captains Archambault, Bolduc and O’Sullivan each bring valuable leadership to the team. “Amy was a captain last year so she has that under her wing,” said Ridolfi . “Amy is a vocal Senior Kaitlin Nangle leader that rallies everyone together. Nikki leads by example on the fi eld. Her play on the fi eld makes her a great captain. Cara is

class of Ali Baird, Allison Donovan, Megan Fenton, Mary Kate Finnegan, Katie Gardner, Laurie Noreika and Katie Riddle will look to build on the quality experience they gained as freshmen. Ridolfi is excited about the arrival of freshmen Annie Boylan, Alex Corrado, Teresa Curtis, Katelyn Gettens, Maryalice Gill, Amy Martin, Mary Milley, Julie Murphy, Rachel Murray, Meg O’Leary, Cassie Rudden and Meredith Stevens. “The freshmen are getting better and better week by week,” said Ridolfi . “With this strong freshmen class, we have depth in all four classes which is fantastic to have. We have seen the sophomores and freshmen step up during practice which is creating more and more depth week by week.” The Crusaders return two all-league selections at attack from a season ago in seniors Kristine Corkum and Amy Archambault. Last season, Corkum ranked second on the team with a career best 46 goals and a career best 60 points, while she tied for second in the Patriot League in goals and tied for third in points as she was named to the All-Patriot League First Team. Archambault is com-

Senior Kelly Winslow a mixture of both in that she will speak up, but at times she also leads by her play and her aggressiveness on the fi eld. The three of them are a great combination. Also Nikki is a midfi elder, Cara is a defender and Amy is an attacker which is great in that we have a captain on each part of the fi eld.” The Crusaders led the Patriot League and were ranked 19th in the country in goals scored per game with 12.63. Holy Cross returns four of its top fi ve goal scorers from last season and is ex- pected to be strong once again offensively. “Our offense has been strong in practice,” said Ridolfi . “We’ve seen the offense continue to work together. They are not afraid to pick up the slack from the graduation of some of last year’s goal scorers.” Defensively last year Holy Cross allowed the fewest goals per game in the conference and was 10th in the nation with 9.01. This season the defense is expected to once again be a major strength of the team. “We have most of our fi eld players returning from the de- fensive end,” said Ridolfi . “We are at a good advantage at defense in that we have players with great big game experience and vocal leaders. We are at a good point with our defense.” The junior class of Calley Benoit, Kelly Casey, Kaitlyn Curley and Lisa Gagne will look to win its third Patriot League title in all three years they have been a part of the program, while the sophomore Senior Cashel Scanlon

ing off a season in which she recorded at least one point in all 19 games, while she was second on the team with a career best 17 assists. Her 25 goals and her career best 42 points ranked fourth on the team as she earned All-Patriot League Second Team acco- lades. Senior Kelly Winslow is expected to be a major contributor at attack this season as well. “Kelly is playing fantastic in practice and we expect her to really step up and have a great senior season,” said Ridolfi . Senior Kaitlin Nangle had a strong junior season as she was ranked fourth on the team with a career best eight assists, while she was sixth with a career best 20 points. Senior Cashel Scanlon, and midfi elders Nikki Bolduc and Megan Fenton will also be factors at the attack position. Holy Cross returns two 2007 First Team All-Patriot League members at midfi eld in senior Bolduc and sophomore Fenton. Bolduc ranked fi fth on the team with 19 goals, seven assists and 26 points last season, while she was named to the Patriot League All- Tournament Team as she scored three goals in the 12-8 win over American in the Patriot League Tournament Championship game. Fenton is coming off an outstanding freshman season in which she ranked third on the team with 38 goals and 45 points, while she

Junior Calley Benoit

was fi fth in the Patriot League in goals and eighth in points. She also led the team and was fourth in the Patriot League with 39 draw controls. Ridolfi has also been very impressed with how junior Kaitlyn Curley has played in preseason. Sophomore Ali Baird scored 16 goals and had one assist for 17 points as a freshman. The defense will be led by senior Cara O’Sullivan who was selected to the All-Patriot League First Team in 2007. She tied for second on the team in caused turnovers with a career best 19. Ju- nior Lisa Gagne, sophomore Mary Kate Finnegan and Curley are expected to be big contributors defensively. In goal this season will be freshman Amy Martin and sopho- more Allison Donovan. “The goalie position is really young,” said Ridolfi . “Amy is a freshman and Allison is a fi eld player that we converted into a goalie but they are both doing really well in the preseason and we expect them to play well in the season.”

2008 HOLY CROSS WOMEN’S LACROSSE 26 ABBOUTOUT HOOLYLY CRROSSOSS

Holy Cross is renowned for its academic excellence and men- toring-based, liberal arts education in the Jesuit tradition. An exclusively undergraduate institution with just under 2,800 stu- dents, Holy Cross is the oldest Catholic college in New England. Founded in 1843 in Worcester, Mass., the campus occupies 174 beautifully landscaped acres, featuring traditional and contem- porary architecture, state-of-the-art facilities, and striking views from atop Mount St. James. Academic life at Holy Cross is serious, challenging and excit- ing. Student-professor exchanges in the classroom, as well as in countless informal settings, are at the center of academic life at Holy Cross. With a student to faculty ratio of 11 to one, the op- portunity for individual attention is readily available. Few classes exceed an enrollment of 40, and most average 19 students. Holy Cross professors are widely respected in their academic specialties. Many have national reputations for their research and publications, creative performances, recordings and exhibitions. Almost all of the nearly 300 full- and part-time faculty members hold doctoral degrees from some of the fi nest universities here and abroad.

Among the major academic facilities on campus are Dinand Library (which, along with three other specialized libraries on cam- pus, has total holdings of more than 650,000 volumes); Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery (with a regular schedule of world-class exhibitions); Brooks Concert Hall (acclaimed by performers and acoustical experts as one of the fi nest medium-sized performance spaces in the region); St. Joseph Memorial Chapel (built in 1924 and containing the recently renovated McCooey Chapel on the lower level); Hogan Campus Center (with bookstore, post offi ce, coffee lounge, cafeteria and pub); Carol and Park B. Smith Hall (housing the Center for Religion, Ethics and Culture and the Rehm Library); the Multimedia Resource Center in Edith Stein Hall; and the science complex in Haberlin, O’Neil and Swords Halls. Coeducational since 1972, Holy Cross enrolls a student body of proven accomplishment. Almost all graduated in the top 20 per- cent of their high school classes. Most live in 10 residence halls on campus, all fully connected to the college’s computer network. Students, elected by their peers, represent their classmates at fac- ulty meetings, on major college committees, and in a consultative

Recreation Center, home to the basketball, swimming, hockey and volleyball teams. The Smith Wellness Center includes a special- ized strength and conditioning facility for varsity student-athletes, as well as aerobic equipment and workout areas for the general student body. The college offers focused preprofessional advising programs for students interested in medicine and health, law, business and engineering. The results for successful postgraduate study are well-documented: • Graduates are admitted to medical school at rates better than twice the national average. • Each year, more than 100 Holy Cross graduates enter law schools accredited by the American Bar Association – one of the highest rates in the nation. • Holy Cross is in the top three percent of four-year colleges in the number of students going on to earn doctorates. • Holy Cross students have won Rhodes, Truman and Marshall scholarships, Watson fellowships, Fulbright grants and many other awards. • More than 10 percent of Holy Cross alumni are currently practic- ing medicine.

Opened in 1997, the Carol and Park B. Smith Wellness Center is a two-story facility which was built as an addition to the Hart Recreation Center. The wellness center provides state-of-the-art fi tness equipment for varsity athletes and all other members of the Holy Cross community. A $1.5-million gift from Carol and Park B. Smith (Class of 1954) kicked off the campaign to fund the facility. “Everyone to- day agrees that fi tness is very important,” Smith said in 1997. “I’m confi dent that this new Wellness Center — whose facilities will be second-to-none — will provide a real benefi t to current and future Holy Cross students, teachers and staff.” With 15,000 square feet, the wellness center provides over four times more space than the college previously had for varsity and com- munity exercise and training, and centralizes athletic equipment and facilities once found in fi ve locations in three campus buildings. The center houses, on the fi rst level, a highly versatile strength and conditioning center for Holy Cross’ varsity student-athletes. There are areas for speed development programs, as well as for strength and endurance conditioning. The space, which is able to accommodate as many as 60 people at a time, enables Holy Cross’ larger sports teams The center also offers programs that explore the connections to work out together, thereby enhancing team unity. between fi tness and wellness, to help students learn how good health The second fl oor has been designed for use by all students, can complement and enhance other aspects of their educational faculty and staff.

The wellness center has been a huge boon to our program.” With 6,500 square feet of the center devoted solely to varsity athletes, Oliver and his staff to are able to accommodate a much larger number of athletes at one time, allowing teams to train together at times more convenient to their busy schedules as student-athletes. The state-of-the-art equipment in the wellness center in- cludes: • Eight multi-purpose power racks, each with over 600 pounds of free weights. • Seven Olympic lifting platforms with over 375 pounds of rubber- ized free weights. • More than 3,000 pounds of dumbbells. • Eighteen pieces of aerobic equipment. • Three full sets of plyometric boxes. • A number of free weight-loaded pieces of equipment to accom- modate injured athletes. “Thanks to the generous donation from the Smiths,” Oliver said, “This facility is state of the art.”

Worcester, the economic and social center of central Massa- chusetts, is New England’s third-largest city with a population of 176,000. Holy Cross is one of the area’s 13 colleges and universities, which together make an enormous impact on the area’s culture and economy. Boston, Springfi eld, Hartford and Providence are all about a one-hour drive. New York City is about three hours away; Cape Cod and the Atlantic Ocean are less then two hours from Worcester; and the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire can be reached in about three hours. Skiing is available at nearby Wachusett Mountain, and water sports enthusiasts can enjoy the hundreds of rivers and lakes in the area, including Lake Quinsigamond. First incorporated as a township in 1722, this settlement 40 miles west of Boston soon became an important transportation center on the Boston Turnpike, linking the capital city with New York and the west. One of America’s fi rst internal commercial waterways, the Blackstone Canal, linked the town with Providence to the south and gave direct access to the Atlantic Ocean. Primarily an industrial city through the mid-20th century, Worcester has emerged as an educational, medical, health care, cultural and entertainment center. An expanded business and com- mercial base, and the recent addition of a variety of high-technology

companies and growing biotechnology research parks, have made Worcester attractive to expanding companies. Downtown Worcester stands on the brink of a dramatic renaissance with a new hotel at- tached to the convention center, a new courthouse and major housing and retail projects all in the works. Worcester is nonetheless predominantly residential in character. More than 1,200 acres of city-owned parkland are found within its 38 square miles. Half of the entire city budget goes for educational purposes, testimony to the values of its inhabitants. Its parklands are among the oldest in the nation, as are its library and music festival. Worcester is a city proud of its past and secure in its future. Worcester is home to the DCU Center, a 13,000-seat arena that features big-name rock bands; Mechanics Hall, a world renowned venue for opera, jazz, blues and classical concerts; and the Worces- ter Art Museum, internationally known as one of the fi nest small museums in the United States. Other museums include the Higgins Armory Museum, a repository of Medieval arms and armor; the Ecotarium, which combines the features of a science museum, a planetarium and a zoo; the headquarters of the American Antiquarian Society; and the Worcester Historical Museum. After a $40 million restoration project, the historic Union Sta- tion now serves visitors and commuters via MBTA regional service and Amtrak national service. Worcester has world-class dining, ethnic restaurants, diners, coffee houses, bookstores, shopping, parks and recreation — all within easy reach of campus.
