The Jersey Blues have just started their first ever women’s lacrosse program. They began with intense recruiting and completed their first fall ball season together. On October 5, 2008 they attended a tournament at GeorgianCourtUniversity and competing against 4 different schools. Ultimately, they did not prevail over the other colleges, but the team and its coaching staff made great strides. Working together, they provided a great deal of pressure, presence and intensity, which Coach Lauren Williams believes has left a mark on the other universities “to keep an eye on this program for improvement and a tough season in the spring."
2009 Outlook
The Jersey Blues progress, for their first in-season play, will be based solely on the progress and growth of the team throughout the next few months. Currently, they have over 20 women on the roster and counting. Some key attackers to look for are: Freshmen Chrystal Lumley, Estefania Barrantes and Jenny Clayton and Sophmores Diane Elwin and Samantha Mercurio. The mid-field will provide the majority of this teams’ skill with Sophmore Kaitlyn Brown and Freshman Whitney Deedmeyer sharing the roll of center and Sophmores Mollie Falcetano, Lisa Meehan and Freshmen Jenni Ulejczyk, Victoria Buono and Page Crowley will join in to lead the teams’ transition. The defense will be locked down by Freshmen Lena Pingitore and Marie Munoz and Sophmores Stephanie Robertson, Angela Curbelo, Jordyn Merritt, Megan Mazza and Sabrina Piotrowski. In goal they have Angela Seeman whom has come a long way and really stepped up for the team in the past few months. With an heavy scheduled that includes teams from Delaware, New York, Maryland and Pennsylvania, the Jersey Blues look to have a very successful debut season.
