Gettysburg Bullets give back to the community through "Girls on the Run"
Girls on the Run is a program which aims to instill healthy body image and good eating and exercise habits in elementery school-aged girls. High school and college-aged students are paired with elementery school aged girls to help the girls train to run a 5K. Female college students act as role models of good help, and encourage their partners to exercise regularly and help the girls build confidence and develop a positive image of themselves and their bodies.
The Gettysburg Women's Lacrosse program has been participating in the Girls on the Run program, in conjunction with the affiliated Gettysburg area elementery schools and Gettysburg College, for the past three years. In our involvement with Girls on the Run, the lacrosse team has been able to give back to the Gettysburg community, which has always supported our team throughout the season.

Hey Becky, what's happening in Florence, Italy??
Hey Hey,
Ok, I'm in Florence, Italy. I live with with my friend Caroline from Gettysburg and we live with an Italian family. Gina and Salvatore and their kids Davide and Elisabetta. They yell at each other all the time, and hardly speak any english.
My favorite thing I have done so far was when we went to the Amalfi Coast and swam through caves and went cliff jumping. The water was clear blue. Although I'm sure that sky diving will be my favorite thing after I do it in two weeks. I promise I won’t die.
My favorite food is definitely the Gnocchi. It kinda tastes like pasta, but it's little bits of potato wrapped in pasta. Aaaaaahhhh, I really want it right now. SOOO GOOOD. Nothing special to drink here for me....so my favorite is water? They don't have Snapple, which has really been a huge issue for me these past 3 months.
The things I'll miss most when I leave is all the beautiful buildings and stuff I get to look at every day, and speaking in Italian (it makes me feel cool), and the fact that we don't have school on Fridays, aaaannndd this really good chocolate milk I discovered in the grocery store (pathetic yet true).
The thing I am looking forward to the most when I get home is AMERICAN CHEESE, hummus, bagels, turkey, sushi, snapple, my family/friends (obvy), SNOW, driving, and my bed....I realize most of those things are food, but come on. Oh, and the lax season DUHHHH.
miss ya, miss ya, can’t wait to see ya!!
lutzzzz

LB's checking in from South Africa
Junior Goalie, Laura Block has spent the Fall semester in South Africa and we want to know.....what has she been up to???
I miss you! Hope all is well at the 'Burg and you aren't causing too much trouble. Just kidding. Can't wait to see all of you soon!
I am at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa, on the Eastern Cape, about and hour and a half outside of Port Elizabeth and I live by myself.
The best part of South Afirca, aside from traveling of course is volunteering. I volunteer in the township at least twice a week at two community centers. The first place, St. Mary's, is a center for the most impoverished children in the part of the district reserved for "coloureds" during apartheid. At St. Mary's I work with the U.S. NGO One Laptop Per Child, which gives all the kids at the center computers on which I mostly attempt to teach them basic skills. The second center is a place called Ragalan Road, which is an afterschool program for HIV orphans who are raising themselves and their siblings in the township. The kids are ages 6-14, all speak Xhosa, that language with all the clicks in it, which is really hard to learn, but the kids are the most amazing people ever! We do art projects and play those recess and PE games you miss most from elementary school. I even taught them Wizards, Midgets and Giants, thank you Hilton Head Spring Break!
The food is a little dissappointinig, but South Africa has a lot of Indian influence, and it's cheap so we often grab takeout. The best drink by far is a Cider called Hunter's Dry. Good stuff!
When I leave I will miss all the freedom I have here, the friends I've made, and mostly, waking up everyday not knowing what's going to happen, who I'm going to meet or what adventure awaits...
Hey LB, What are you looking forward to most about coming home?
I can't wait to see Kristen Krammer's beautiful face!

Meet the Captains
#15 Nicole Ditillo
Position: Defense
Height: 5-5
Position: Defense
Height: 5-5
Class: Junior
Hometown: Baldwin, Md.
High School: Fallston
What are you most looking forward to about being a captain in 2010?
I'm looking forward to contributing to my team to the best of my ability, and being part of the leadership of a team that has the potential to be the best team we've ever been in my four years at Gettysburg.
What are you most excited about in the 2010 season?
I am excited and anxious to see how our Senior class steps up in our leadership roles this year. I am also very excited to see how the First-years will contribute to our team, both in talent and personality. We are looking to carry a larger squad this year, which means that we have more opportunities to change and expand our game. The thing I am most excited about is hosting the Final Four on Clark Field. I know that my teammates would love to win the crown this year at home on Clark, and that we will work harder than we have ever worked in order to acheive that goal.
What is your favorite drill in practice? What is your least favorite?
My favorite drill is probably the one when Barb lets us hit the attackers with the football pads, but sometimes I get a little carried away with that one. I also really like working with our zone in 7v7, and I also like the "4v4 with the two outlets" because it is fast paced and makes you work a little harder on defense because you have to cover more area. My least favorite.....Um, definitely the "I hate the midfield drill" OR "Undercut" OR "Ground ball to groundball drill." Lot's of running!
Do you prefer running or lifting better?
This is going to sound sad, but I prefer running because it means I can eat more dessert from the dessert counter at Servo!
Pose the next question:
What would you change about the game of women's lacrosse?
#1 Lexie HearnPosition: Midfield
Height: 5-5
Class: Junior
Hometown: Old Greenwich, Conn.
High School: Greenwich
What are you most looking forward to about being a captain in 2010?
I learned a lot about being a captain last year. How to put my team before myself and do so willingly and happily. I learned that being a captain is not easy and not always fun. As a captain last year I learned a lot about my teammates and was able to connect with them individually. I hope to build upon that this year. This year is unique because of how close our senior class is. We have all been playing together for a long time and have built strong connections on and off the field. As a captain this year I can rely on those strong relationships to help me in leading the team.
What are you most excited about in the 2010 season?
I am absolutely looking forward to every part of this season (that does not necessarily include pre-season ha). I have been playing sports my entire life and it is a big part of who I am. I am very nervous about lacrosse season ending because it will be the end ofall my years of hard work. Because of that fear I am going to make sure that I soak up every second I have left. I am looking forward to building a new team and making this season my most memorable one.
What is your favorite drill in practice? Least favorite?
My favorite drill is...steal the bacon!!
My least favorite drill would have to be "undercut."
Do you prefer running or lifting better?
I think i prefer lifting better than running because although it makes you much more sore afterwards, its not as painful at the time haha.
