6/7: Paige Diamond Named to IWLCA All-Region Team, NESCAC All-Conference Team

NEW LONDON, Conn. --Connecticut College junior goaltender Paige Diamond of Longmeadow, MA has been named to the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Women’s Lacrosse All-Conference squad as a second team selection. Diamond has also been named to the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (!WLCA) All-Region Team.

A 2001 graduate of Suffield Academy, Diamond made 216 saves in 15 starts for the Camels, averaging better than 14 saves a game. A tri-captain of the team, Diamond finished the season second in NESCAC and was 11th in all of Division III with a .603 save percentage, stopping 216-of-358 shots on goal.

Under the direction of head coach Anne Crosby, Connecticut College ended the season with a four-game winning streak to finish with an 8-8 record. During that stretch, Diamond ignited the Camels with her superb play between the pipes. Diamond stopped 65 shots and posted an 8.49 Goal’s Against Average in the final four contests. She stopped a season-high 23 shots in a 14-8 victory at Eastern Connecticut State April 18. In the season finale April 24, Diamond turned away 18 shots to key a 10-9 overtime victory over Tufts for the Camels.

“Paige is an amazing goalie and leader for us,” Coach Crosby stated. “This year she took her game to a new level with her ability to intercept the ball and come out of the crease. This award is a true honor for her and the program.”

Diamond is also a goalie on the Connecticut College women’s soccer team. She played a significant role as the starting keeper on the Camels 2002 team that finished with a 10-5-1 record.

3/4: 2004 Women's Lacrosse Preview

Taking offense. With four of her top seven scorers returning this spring, Head Coach Anne Crosby has offense on her mind. The Camels averaged 11 goals per game over the final eight games of the season and are ready to put some points on the board in the spring of 2004. Crosby has made offense a priority in her recruiting and it’s starting to pay off for Camel fans. Connecticut College will open the 2004 season Sunday, March 14 against Endicott College. After tuning up for a week in Bermuda with three non-conference games, the Camels will host Middlebury College in the NESCAC season opener March 20 at 11:00 a.m. Let’s take a position-by-position look at the 2004 Camels.

Attack
Senior Catherine Clark is an explosive offensive player and is coming off an exceptional junior season. Clark led the club in all three major offensive categories, notching 24 goals, with 11 assists and 35 points. Junior Sarah Tacy netted five goals in limited action due to injury last season and will be counted on for instant offense. Three newcomers join this group. Freshmen Molly Charest, Courtney Irving, and Molly McConaty have impressed the coaching staff in the pre-season and will make immediate contributions up front.

Catherine Clark tickled the twine with 24 goals in 2003

Midfield
The Camels have plenty of depth along the midfield. Senior tri-captain Emily Stieff is a talented two-sport athlete with explosive speed. Stieff has the ability to create separation from the opponent and erupted for 15 goals and 20 points in 2003. The Camels also have several talented sophomores returning. Maggie Driscoll notched a team-high 52 ground balls and registered 14 points. Kelsey Sullivan is coming off a 19-goal rookie season and was one of the top newcomers in the NESCAC. Christine Cunha, and Melissa Ridgway each return to the midfield with a year’s playing experience. Freshman Sarah Chandler is ready to contribute in her rookie season on the midfield.

Emily Stieff Used her Breakaway Speed to Net15 Goals Last Season

Defense
Seniors Kyle Ridgway and Sarah Lane will anchor the defensive corps. Ridgway tallied 32 ground balls and caused 20 turnovers in 2003. Sarah Lane is a team leader and tri-captain of the 2004 squad. Lane has scooped up 78 ground balls over the last three seasons and is a reliable defender. Junior Mary Scott caused nine turnovers and should see plenty of action this spring. Sophomore Perri Lawrie and Kate Reardon will also contribute with a full year of experience behind them. Freshman Lindsay Graff displayed her athleticism as a member of the Camel soccer team this fall and will bolster the defense this spring. Junior tri-captain Paige Diamond made 144 saves in 14 games played last season and is ready to lead her team in 2004. Sophomore Alix Werner appeared in seven games as a freshman and will also see action in net. Freshman goaltender Sara Griesbach joins the team this season and will compete for minutes in between the pipes.
