5v5 Tournament- February 13, 2011

Player's Registration Form Coach's Registration Form

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – The Gettysburg College women’s lacrosse program will host a winter tournament and clinic for high school girls on February 13, 2011 from 9:30 a.m. until 1:30pm at Clark and Shirk Fields and inside Hauser Field House.

Payment as well as a completed registration form must be received by February 1, 2011. Cost for players to participate is $50. Players may register as either a team (ranging in size from six to ten players) or they may register as individuals and we will place them on a team of independents. We will take a maximum of 48 teams so it will be a first come – first serve registration format.

The day is designed for players who are looking to polish their skills before the start of their seasons. The morning will start out with a brief clinic covering 5v5 attacking and defensive principles and will include demonstrations from our nationally ranked Bullet’s squad as well as coaching from the Gettysburg coaching staff. We will then progress to the 5v5 tournament in which players will be able to put the clinic’s theory into practice and challenge their skills in a fun and competitive environment.

Players should bring the following with them to the clinic: eye wear, mouth guard, stick, goalie equipment (if applicable), water bottle and clothing for both indoor and outdoor environments. Cross-trainers are the recommended footwear. Bring warm weather gear as we will be OUTSIDE playing on our turf fields.

The event will take place regardless of weather as we will move the clinic and 5v5 tournaments indoors if inclement weather should occur. Closer to the event, be sure to check your email for updates on location and possible time changes.

Registration will take place in Bream/Wright/Hauser athletic facility at 8:45 a.m. Please download the registration form on the women’s lacrosse landing page at GettysburgSports.com for more information. Please call the women’s lacrosse office at (717) 337-6430 for additional inquiries.

Cantele is Metro Region Coach of the Year

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Gettysburg College’s Carol Cantele ’83 was named the 2010 Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Metro Region Coach of the Year according to a recent release by the organization. Cantele earned the region’s top honor for the fifth time in the last 11 seasons after guiding the Bullets to an 18-4 overall record, a 9-0 regular season record in the Centennial Conference, and the program’s ninth consecutive appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament.

Congrats Hollis and Nicole!

Stahl was named the NCAA Division III Midfielder of the Year, while Ditillo was lauded as the Division III Scholar-Athlete of the Year at the IWLCA All-American Banquet held the Crown Valley Plaza in King of Prussia, Pa., on June 12.

Vote for Hollis Stahl Today!

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – After months of crunching the numbers to select the top athletes for weekly recognition on our website, the Sports Information staff has decided to let you, the fans, have a voice in picking the top male and female student-athletes from the past year at Gettysburg College. Over the course of the month of June, fans will be able to vote for their favorite student-athletes in polls available on the main page of GettysburgSports.com and on the Gettysburg College Athletics fan page on Facebook.

The popular poll on the athletics website will feature the men’s nominees from June 1 to June 15, while the women will fill the poll for the final two weeks of the month (June 16-30). Both men’s and women’s polls will be available on the athletics Facebook page for the entirety of the month. At the end of June, the votes from both polls will be counted and the male and female student-athletes with the most will be named Athletes of the Year in a press release on our website. There’s no certificate, award, or trophy involved in this process. At most, the winners will receive campus bragging rights and the knowledge that their efforts on their respective playing venues were acknowledged and admired by the campus community. With a score of worthy candidates to consider, the Sports Information staff had to make some stipulations on who to include on the final ballots.

Our finalists had to meet at least one of two conditions: 1.) All-Centennial Conference First Team; and 2). School record breaker. Using those guidelines, we came up with a list of eight men and seven women. We also didn’t want to split votes between a sport, so we combined two of the male candidates into one super-charged nominee. Voting will end on June 30th so make sure you visit GettysburgSports.com and Facebook to make your voice heard!
