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.

UNIVERSITY MISSION STATEMENT

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.

2009 GEORGETOWN WOMEN’S SOCCER 23 THIS IS GEORGETOWN SOCCER

Norah Swanson From 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.

Catherine Cabot I 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! !

Caitlin Durkee I 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 Miller From 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.
