BC's Incoming Class Includes 2010 Massachusetts Players of the Year
from press release
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Head Coach Bowen Holden
welcomes five talented freshmen to the 2011 Women's Lacrosse team
to help expand upon last year's success. Moira Barry, Caroline
"Cali" Ceglarski, Kelly McNelis, Kara O'Connell, and Carly
Weilminster will arrive on campus next weekend.
These five players, two attackers and three midfielders, have
already accomplished so much during their four years in high school
and are sure to have a tremendous impact on the program.
"I'm really looking forward to welcoming these five to campus,"
said Holden. "They are a tight-knit group already, and I have high
hopes for the impact they will have on the team during their
careers. I am fully confident they will make a seamless transition
onto our team, uphold the values at the core of our program, and
give all they have on and off the field. We can't wait to get
started!"
