THE MISSION STATEMENT - DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS The Mission of the Athletic Department of the College of the Holy Cross is to promote the intellectual, physical, and moral development of students. Through Division I athletic participation, our young men and women student-athletes learn a self-discipline that has both present and long-term effects; the interplay of individual and team effort; pride and self-esteem in both victory and defeat; a skillful management of time; personal endurance and courage; and the complex relationships between friendship, leadership, and service. Our athletics program, in the words of the College Mission Statement, calls for “a community marked by freedom, mutual respect, and civility.” Besides teaching these virtues, a few sports played at Holy Cross have the added value of focusing alumni and student support and enhancing our reputation locally and nationally. While Holy Cross continues to commit itself to accomplishment in these sports, which are a rich part of our tradition, we choose to do so in a way that complements the pursuit of academic excellence. Holy Cross is committed to the guiding principles of the Patriot League, of which we are a founding member: presidential control of athletics; the cultivation of the ideal scholar-athlete; and participation in a wide variety of sports. Commitment to the last principle assures that the College sponsors, in a very evident way, gender equity. The Department of Athletics is also committed to compliance with all College policies and regulations involved in Division I membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Eastern College Athletic Conference. As a member of the NCAA, Holy Cross also advocates student-athlete welfare, diversity, gender equity, sportsmanship, and ethical conduct in its athletic programs.

Holy Cross Field Hockey 3 2006 Season Preview

With 12 letterwinners and eight starters returning from last year, including four of the top fi ve scorers on the team, the 2006 Laura Cohen Holy Cross Crusaders are full of talent and full of hope of winning the 2006 Tri-Captain program’s fourth Patriot League title in the last 10 years. Holy Cross steadily improved throughout 2005 and visibly gained momentum as the year went on. Towards the end of the season, the team started to show signs of a championship-caliber squad, after putting together a great performance against nationally-ranked Boston College, fi ghting back for a come-from-behind win over Dartmouth, and taking nationally-ranked American to overtime. All of that culminated into an appearance in the 2005 Patriot League Tournament championship game, which was the program’s sixth title game appearance in the last nine years. Despite falling to American in the title game, Holy Cross had a lot of positives to take from the season. Seven different players recorded goals, eight different players recorded assists, and all but one of those point-getters are returning in 2006. “The team is excited for the upcoming season,” said head coach Meg Galligan. “I observed a dramatic transformation with the squad during the offseason. Every player took her game to another level, and as a unit, the team feels more confi dent and capable of achieving even greater success in 2006.” With excellent team dynamics, a solid core of veteran players, and seven newcomers expected to offer immediate depth to an already talented squad, look for Holy Cross to make a run for the 2006 Patriot League championship.

FORWARDS this season after the graduation of Jenna Cook ‘06, one of the best The 2006 Crusaders will be led by All-Region and two-time fi nishers in program history. According to Galligan, O’Coin has All-Patriot League selection, Tara Welch. Arguably the most prolifi c emerged on the scene as a dangerous forward, and has meshed well scorer in program history, Welch has been one of the top two scorers with Welch, making the duo a pair to watch out for in 2006. in the Patriot League the last two seasons and fi nished 2005 ranked “Sara’s stick skills have caught up with her tremendous nationally in three different categories. speed and she improved on transitioning the ball into scoring range, Welch, who will serve as a tri-captain this season, enters while getting some creative touches on the ball this Spring.” the year nine goals away from setting a new program record for career Junior Katie Rowlenson started all 20 games in the midfi eld goals and 20 points away from setting a new program record for career in 2005, but has added striker skills to her repertoire and is showing points. She is currently tied for eighth on the all-time Patriot League signs of becoming a frontline threat this season. goals list. “Katie is very quick and agile,” explained Galligan. “This “Tara is a fearless competitor who has a solid understanding Spring she was passing well, drawing corners and using her defensive of the game,” said Galligan. “Her quick hands and great elimination skills to be a pest against opposing backs. Her rise in confi dence has skills make her a dynamic frontline leader.” led to a more assertive approach to her game, and she will continue to Joining Welch at the forward position is junior Sara help us in the midfi eld as well.” O’Coin.

With experience under her belt this season, we will look for her to be able to string more plays Tara Welch together up front.” 2006 Tri-Captain Incoming freshmen Nora Happny and Katie Talbert are both talented forwards and will also add depth in the Crusader frontline this season.

MIDFIELDERS AND BACKS Senior tri-captain Laura Cohen added a pro-active style to her defensive play last year and became an impact player for the Crusaders in the midfi eld. A First Team All-Patriot League selection last season, Cohen started all 20 games and was third on the team in scoring with 31 points on 13 goals and fi ve assists. “Laura is a smart player and uses her composure to her advantage,” said Galligan. “She is one of the best at seeing long passing lanes and makes effective use of her solid, deceptive hit in those instances.” Along with Cohen, senior tri-captain Susie Whelan will bring great leadership to the team and make up the backbone of the Crusaders’ defensive unit. Last season, Whelan was named to the All-Patriot League Second Team after leading the team in both interceptions and tackles, and totaling 13 assists on the offensive end, which was second- best on the team. “Susie has a tremendous work ethic and positive spirit that will come in handy as one of our 2006 captains,” said Galligan. “She is a fl uid, aggressive, all-around player and her versatility will

allow us to put her wherever we need to make a difference in a game.” Junior Lauren Coletta will also be returning to the starting Susie Whelan line-up this season. The versatile Coletta started all 20 games last year, 2006 Tri-Captain fi nished the season tied for second on the team with 79 interceptions, and contributed in the scoring column from her defensive position. “Lauren has endless energy with solid marking skills,” said Galligan. “Her ability to concentrate on the task at hand is an asset to our game, and her offensive mindedness when she takes possession of the ball is an added bonus.” Carolyn Connelly embraced the role of the team’s ‘12th Man’ last season, but will be vying for a starting job this year. “‘CC’ is a low, very focused player with deceptive snap passes. She gained more confi dence in her overall game this Spring, and I anticipate seeing her step up her role on the team this Fall.” The Crusader backfi eld is also returning junior starters Kim Powell and Eli Skovron, whose game experience will offer Holy Cross a more veteran defensive unit in 2006. “Kim is a solid defender with an intimidating presence on the fi eld. She creates dynamic plays, and her powerful hit will be advantageous for clearing balls upfi eld.” “Eli is a deceptively smart defender. She can often trap her opponent unknowingly and take possession of the ball with her sound tackling skills. She has a great deal of poise and can help keep our squad calm under pressure.” Sophomores Jessie Cullen and Liz Morris have made signifi cant progress in the offseason and will seek more playing time this Fall, while newcomers Katie Aylward, Kaitlyn Barnes, Courtney Callahan and Brit Sachs are expected to contribute to the team’s start of the season at Brown on Oct. 26. “Erin has a great deal of talent depth. and handles pressure very well,” said Galligan. “Her performance last Fall and during the off-season is a glimpse of a successful career GOALKEEPERS ahead.” Starting in the cage this season will be sophomore Erin Newcomer Kelly Casey was a standout high school player Singleton.

Holy Cross Field Hockey 13 The Patriot League

“Today’s Scholar-Athletes, Tomorrow’s Leaders” – The Patriot League continually demonstrates that student-athletes can excel at both academics and athletics without sacrifi cing its high standards. The Patriot League’s athletic success is achieved while its member institutions remain committed to its founding principle of admitting and graduating student-athletes that are academically representative of their class. Participation in athletics at Patriot League institutions is viewed as an important component of a well-rounded education.

In its second decade of combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 23 men and women’s sports. Initially started as an NCAA Division I-AA football conference in 1986, the Patriot League became an all-sport conference in 1990 and includes American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy as full members, and Fordham and Georgetown as associate members. These institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation and their alumni have, and continue to play leadership roles in shaping our country. Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked fi rst each year among all Division I conferences awarding athletic aid in the NCAA Graduation Rate Report. In addition, the Patriot League fi nished fi rst in the new CAROLYN SCHLIE FEMOVICH NCAA Academic Progress Report (APR) among all Division I conferences awarding athletic aid (combining COMMISSIONER with all eight of its full-time member institutions for an average of 984 out of 1,000). The APR is used to PATRIOT LEAGUE measure academic eligibility, retention and graduation of student-athletes. Patriot League student-athletes and teams continue to enjoy success at the national level, with opening round victories coming in several NCAA Championships, including consecutive wins in men’s basketball, a fi nal four appearance in men’s lacrosse and a sixth-place fi nish at the NCAA Cross Country Championship. The Patriot League’s mission is simple, to provide successful competitive athletic experiences while maintaining high academic standards, and to prepare its student-athletes to be leaders in society.
