No ECAC bid has yet been earned, no national ranking has yet been achieved, and no NCAA tournament selection has yet to be received. These are the dreams of the future and the Lions are even more anxious to achieve that vision now that victory is within its grasp. Offensively, the team produced well beyond its expectations. More than half of those goals came off of set pieces and the timed percision of the penalty corner unit comprised of Dana Zullo , Florencia Battilana and Nikki Campbell . How the Lions resolve these issues will determine how far they will advance this season.
Team dynamics are crucial in the success formula, as is a solid defensive unit.
The goalkeeping position will have first year Allison Stadnick squaring off with returning starter, sophomore Molly Starsia-Lasagna , who registerd shutout victories over Stanford, Colgate and Ivy rival, Pennsylvania. On the field the defensive unit will be anchored by Cameo Roehrich , Tina Fernandez and Page McGranahan who will help to organize the transition game from the midfield. Eichner is looking for some fresh faces to set-up and produce this season. The first-years seem to have the right attitudes and personalities to fit into this group they will need to adapt to the collegiate level of play. In 2000 the experience gained from the lessons learned during the 1999 season will be the instruments that keep the Lions looking up and moving forward into a future that certainly will be bright.
