The interdependence of the physical, emotional, moral and intellectual aspects of personal growth requires simultaneous and balanced focus. This objective does not imply that each facet of an individual’s psychological, social and academic growth is of equal importance. It does require that Georgetown provide the means and encouragement for each person to develop according to his or her own interests and abilities. This is especially true in athletics, whether at the recreational, intercollegiate, intramural or instructional level. In addition to physical development, the Department of Athletics promotes principles of character, development and sportsmanship within the framework of an abiding and broadened commitment to community. Accordingly, the Athletics Department is committed to, fosters and pursues the fair and equitable treatment of both men and women, and the provision of equitable access and opportunities for minority students and institutional personnel. Title IX and NCAA Peer Review The Georgetown University Athletics Department has recently undergone two extensive reviews of its athletic programs: an audit by the Department of Education concerning Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and Georgetown’s inaugural review under the NCAA’s new Athletics Certification program. The Department of Education has found Georgetown’s athletic programs to be in compliance with Title IX, and the University was certified by the NCAA in November of 1995. Anti-Discrimination Policy In accordance with the requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the implementing regulations promulgated under each of these federal statutes, Georgetown University does not discriminate in its programs, activities, or employment practices on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability. The University’s compliance program under these statutes and regulations is supervised by Rosemary Kilkenny, Special Assistant to the President of Affirmative Action Programs. Her office is located in Room G-10, Darnall Hall, and her telephone number is (202) 687-4798. NCAA Position on Gambling The NCAA opposes all forms of legal and illegal sports wagering. Sports wagering has the potential to undermine the integrity of sports contests and jeopardizes the welfare of student-athletes and the intercollegiate community. Sports wagering demeans the competition and competitors alike by a message that is contrary to the purposes and meaning of “sport.” Sports competition should be appreciated for the inherent benefits related to participation of student-athletes, coaches and institutions in fair contests, not the amount of money wagered on the outcome of the competition. For these reasons, the NCAA membership has adopted specific rules prohibiting athletics department staff members and student-athletes from engaging in gambling activities as they relate to intercollegiate or professional sporting events.

Founded in 1789 as Georgetown College, a small gathering of 12 students and a handful of professors, it has grown into a major international university that includes four undergraduate schools, respected graduate programs, a law school and a medical school. Georgetown’s 104-acre Main and Medical Center campus, located in a historic neighborhood of our nation’s capital and overlooking the Potomac River, houses 64 buildings including a hospital and hotel, athletic fields and student residences that can accommodate more than 6,000 students. Ranked among the nation’s most distinguished institutions of higher learning, the success of the University’s philosophy and endeavors is reflected in its enrollment and applicant pool. Its student body, one of the most geographically diverse in the country, consists of individuals from all 50 states and 132 foreign countries, while only 21 percent of its applicants for the freshman class of 2011 were accepted. In the classroom, the University offers state-of-the-art facilities, while holding less than an 8-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio. Today more than 14,000 students are enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs at Georgetown University, served by more than 1,200 full time and 450 part time faculty. 700 full-time and 350 part-time professors teach undergraduates on the main campus. Distinguished professors include former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former Director of the CIA George Tenet, best-selling author and linguist Deborah Tannen, former National Security Advisor Anthony Lake, and former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar. Recent visiting faculty include Grammy-winner Bobby McFerrin and acclaimed author Mario Vargas Llosa. ATHLETICS AT GEORGETOWN Georgetown University’s varsity athletics programs are a major component of the undergraduate experience. Georgetown offers 27 varsity sports that compete at the Division I level, most of them in the nationally-recognized BIG EAST Conference. Georgetown’s 700-plus student-athletes are a major portion of the University’s enrollment, with more than one of every 10 undergraduates competing on a team. Athletics at Georgetown enjoys a rich history dating back to the first documented athletic contest, a baseball game on May 10, 1870. Georgetown’s tradition includes a total of 17 team and 18 individual national championships, while boasting numerous Olympians, National Players of the Year and All-Americans. The success continued for Georgetown athletics during the 2006-07 academic year. Eighteen student-athletes earned All-America honors, while an additional 60 earned allconference recognition, including six major conference award winners, and 254 received academic acknowledgement. The story of the year was the men’s basketball run to the NCAA Final Four. Celebrating its 100th Year, the Hoyas won the BIG EAST Regular Season and Tournament titles for the first time since 1989. Head coach John Thompson III was named the Black Coaches Association and the NABC National Coach of the Year, while forward Jeff Green was the BIG EAST Player of the Year, earned All-America accolades by three publications and was the No. 5 pick in the 2007 NBA Draft. The men’s lacrosse program continued its string of six-straight appearances in the NCAA Quarterfinals and won the ECAC title for the second-consecutive season. The Hoyas dominated the league awards as Coach Dave Urick was Coach of the Year, Brendan Cannon was Offensive Player of the Year and Jerry Lambe was Defensive Player of the Year. The women’s lacrosse team won the BIG EAST Regular Season UNIVERSITY MISSION STATEMENT Georgetown is a Catholic and Jesuit, student-centered research university. Established in 1789 in the spirit of the new republic, the University was founded on the principle that serious and sustained discourse among people of different faiths, cultures, and beliefs promotes intellectual, ethical and spiritual understanding. We embody this principle in the diversity of our students, faculty and staff, our commitment to justice and the common good, our intellectual openness and our international character. An academic community dedicated to creating and communicating knowledge, Georgetown provides excellent undergraduate, graduate and professional education in the Jesuit tradition for the glory of God and the well-being of humankind. Georgetown educates women and men to be reflective lifelong learners, to be responsible and active participants in civic life, and to live generously in service to others. 2 2 0 0 7 G E O R G E T O W N W O M E N ’ S S O C C E R HISTORY For more than 215 years, Georgetown University has overlooked the banks of the Potomac River. Georgetown owes its existence to Father John Carroll, whose desire for an academy to educate the Catholic youth of the nation that gave root to the founding of Georgetown. Construction began on the first building in 1788, but the first student, William Gaston, arrived from North Carolina in 1791 before it was even completed. Two years later, Charles and George Dinnies, brothers from New York, were awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts and became the College’s first graduates. By 1871, Georgetown had expanded to include two professional schools: medicine and law, and gradually moved towards establishing itself as a university. During this time, the school was guided by the efforts of Patrick F. Healy, S.J., who is often referred to as its second founder. The son of an Irish immigrant and a former slave, Father Healy became the first African-American to earn a Ph.D. and the first to head a predominantly white university. President from 1874 until 1882, he is credited with guiding Georgetown from a small liberal arts college to a modern university. 2 0 0 7 G E O GEORGETOWN title for the seventh-straight year and saw Coco Stanwick earn BIG EAST Attacker of the Year and Maggie Koch win BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year. Women’s track & field had one of their best seasons in recent memory, winning the BIG EAST Indoor and the ECAC Outdoor Championships. Melissa Grelli topped off the seasons by finishing second in the 10,000m at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Across the indoor and outdoor seasons, the Hoyas also totaled six BIG EAST and four ECAC individual champions. Both the men’s and women’s cross country teams placed second at the BIG EAST Championships, while the men won the NCAA Mid Atlantic Regional and the women placed second. The men’s lightweight crew team advanced to the quarterfinals of the Henley Regatta for the first time and medaled at IRA Regatta, while the lightweight women finished fourth in the country, marking one of the best seasons for the Hoyas. Football’s Charlie Houghton was the first Hoya to win a major Patriot League postseason award when he took home the league’s Rookie of the Year honor. Aside from Jeff Green, two other Georgetown studentathletes were selected in their respective professional drafts - Matthew Bouchard (baseball) and Ricky Schramm (men’s soccer). Women’s cross country, field hockey, and men’s and women’s swimming and diving earned team academic honors from their respective coaching associations. SCHOOL COLORS Blue and gray were adopted as the official school colors in 1866 following the Civil War, to symbolize the reunification of the North and the South. The war had such a profound impact upon the University, which housed the Union Army as it moved south to occupy the surrounding area. WHAT IS A HOYA? The Georgetown mascot, the Hoya, is derived from the Greek and Latin phrase “Hoya Saxa,” which, loosely translated, means “What Rocks!” Some say it originated in a cheer referring to the stones that comprised the school’s outer walls; others say it began in the 19th century with the birth of Georgetown’s Stonewalls baseball club; a third version has a “hoya saxa” cheer arising after an impressive goalline stand by the defense of the Hoya football team. The name proved popular and the term “Hoyas” was eventually adopted for all Georgetown teams. Women began to study at Georgetown when the School of Nursing was founded in 1903. Their enrollment increased gradually through the first part of the century and by 1952 was admitted to all schools but the College of Arts and Sciences. At the end of the 1960’s, the University became fully coeducational, as women were admitted to the college. The 1980’s were highlighted by intense growth and prosperity through the leadership of its 46th President Timothy S. Healy, S.J. Its academic reputation improved, its endowment increased five-fold, minority enrollment grew and a host of building were constructed including Yates Field House, the Intercultural Center and the Leavey Center. WHO IS JACK? FACILITIES Georgetown’s mascot is Jack the Bulldog. The name “Jack” and the breed of English Bulldog was formally adopted in 1962, after a long line of breeds “auditioned” for the position during the first half of the century. Georgetown was one of the first schools to employ a “human mascot.” A familiar blue and gray costumed student appears at all major athletic and social events and is one of the most recognizable college mascots in the nation. A major new addition to Georgetown’s campus is the Southwest Quadrangle, a $188.5 million initiative that was the largest construction project in Georgetown history. Part of an ongoing effort to enhance the quality of campus life, the project provided a new 784-bed residence hall, a multi-level underground parking facility, a 1,200-person Leo J. O’Donovan S.J. dining hall, and a new home for Georgetown’s Jesuit Community. Additionally, the Davis Performing Arts Center and the Wagner Alumni House opened in Fall 2005, and a new home for the McDonough School of Business is under construction. In October of 1988 the Leavey Center was constructed to house the Office of Student Affairs, the University Bookstore, a cafeteria, several restaurants, a Marriott hotel with 150 rooms, and a parking garage. For recreation and relaxation, students and faculty head to Yates Field house, a fourlevel sports complex. Among the features of this facility are 12 multi-purpose courts for tennis, basketball, racquetball, squash, and volleyball; a four-lane, 200-meter indoor jogging track; a dance studio; and an eight-lane swimming pool with separate diving area. The Edward B. Bunn Intercultural Center is an example of Georgetown’s look to the future. The center brings together, under the R G E T O W N W O M E N ’ S S O C C E R 3 GEORGETOWN world’s largest solar electric roof, all of the University’s teaching programs in comparative and regional studies, international affairs and diplomacy, and foreign languages. The building houses one of Georgetown’s three computer centers, an interactive teaching lab, a television studio, language laboratories, and an interpreter training facility using state-of-the art equipment for simultaneous interpretation. DIVERSITY Georgetown University’s commitment to diversity is manifested in its student body – which includes people of many different ethnic and religious backgrounds – and in its commitment to the recruitment of outstanding women and minorities to join its community of faculty and staff. Georgetown is an equal opportunity employer, and makes a concerted effort to achieve ethnic and gender diversity throughout its workforce. The January 2003 issue of Black Enterprise magazine ranked Georgetown third after Stanford and Columbia among non-historically black colleges and universities as a place where African American students feel that their aspirations are supported. In November 2003, the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education ranked Georgetown 19th out of the top 50 highest academically ranked universities in the nation for its percentage of black students. and medical schools. Georgetown currently sponsors more than 100 community service initiatives that involve countless students, faculty, staff and alumni, and range from teaching children to offering pro bono legal services and providing health care for the medically underserved. As a Catholic, Jesuit university, Georgetown undergraduates have historically chosen service careers in high numbers after graduation; in 2003, according to a voluntary survey of graduating seniors, more than 139 chose jobs in the public sector – non-profit institutions, volunteer service, education, government service, Jesuit The Office of International Programs at Georgetown fosters the international character of the University by promoting, supporting and developing a wide range of international and intercultural opportunities for members of the Georgetown community. Through study abroad and internationally focused study, students can increase their awareness of the global community, learn about another country’s culture and history and broaden their language and communication skills. Approximately 54 percent of Georgetown University students decide to participate in academic programs overseas. Students who study overseas return with valuable new per- GEORGETOWN AMONG “AMERICA’S BEST” U.S. News and World Report ranked Georgetown 23rd in the magazine’s annual list of top undergraduate programs at national universities. The magazine ranks McDonough School of Business 26th among top undergraduate business programs and 11th in the international business specialty. Georgetown University has long been a leader among America’s most selective institutions in promoting a diverse student body. Nearly 22 percent of Georgetown’s undergraduate population is from a minority ethnic background; the breakdown is as follows: African American, 6.7 percent; Asian American, 9.1 percent; Hispanic, 5.8 percent; and Native American, less than one percent. Volunteer Corps and other organizations in addition to the Peace Corps. In 2005, Georgetown University produced the second highest number of Peace Corps volunteers among all private universities in the country, with 67 Georgetown alumni joining the Peace Corps. INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION Cultural immersion and a rigorous educational experience abroad are an integral part of the Georgetown tradition of liberal education. Georgetown University takes great pride in its international character and is recognized as a national leader in international learning, providing overseas study opportunities for its students and hosting international students on campus. VOLUNTEERISM & SERVICE At Georgetown, community service and volunteerism have long been defining characteristics of students’ education and the University’s mission.

Graduating seniors consistently list these experiences as one of the five top areas of satisfaction with their Georgetown education. Additionally, international students, researchers, and faculty are an extremely important part of the Georgetown community. Nearly 2,000 individuals, including 250 undergraduates, from more than 130 foreign countries study, conduct research, and teach at Georgetown. International students make up approximately 11 percent of the Georgetown student body. The Office of International Programs provides a variety of support services to international students, researchers, and faculty at Georgetown, including cultural and educational programming, immigration advising and personal counseling.

O M E N ’ S S O C GEORGETOWN GEORGETOWN & M STREET C E R 5 GEORGETOWN SPORTS IN D.C. The Washington, D.C. metropolitan area has it all when it comes to sports — a team from every major league is represented, and in some cases fans are divided among area rivals. When winter comes and Georgetown is on the road, fans can still venture to Verizon Center to see the NBA’s Washington Wizards or the Washington Capitals of the NHL. After March Madness, fans are still not in a drought for sports action, as the Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles return from spring training for their opening day celebrations. Until the Nationals complete the home of their own, they share RFK Stadium with the D.C. United of Major League Soccer through the summer and into the fall. Since the Nationals are a new addition to the D.C. sports scene, many loyal fans still make the short trip to Baltimore to watch the Orioles in Camden Yards. If a fan prefers the farm system instead, nine minor league baseball teams cll the D.C. metropolitan area their home, including Single-A, Double-A and Triple-A affiliates for the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Pittsburgh Pirates, Nationals and Orioles. Since Baltimore and Washington, D.C. are only 30 miles apart, members of the metropolitan area gear up for fall in either purple and black to support the Baltimore Ravens or burgundy and gold to cheer on the hometown Washington Redskins. The Redskins still make FedEx Field in Landover, Md. their home, while the Ravens play less than an hour away at M&T Bank Stadium in the heart of Baltimore. 2 6 0 0 7 G E O R G E T O W N W O M E N ’ Or if they can’t stand the heat of the summer, D.C. sports fans can head inside to Verizon Center to watch the Washington Mystics of the WNBA compete.

IWO JIMA MEMORIAL 2 0 0 7 G E O R G E T O W N W O M E N ’ S S O C C E R 7 2007 PREVIEW 2007 PREVIEW Georgetown head coach Dave Nolan leads his Georgetown team into the 2007 season, hoping to rebound from a tough 2006. Two years ago, the Blue and Gray won the most games in program history (12), made back-to-back BIG EAST Tournaments for the first time, and captured their first conference tournament win. However, after enduring last year’s 5-9-5 season and failing to qualify for the BIG EAST Tournament, the Hoyas will look to respond with a return to form. The Hoyas return all but four players from last year, and although all four were starters, the Hoyas return three of their top four leading scorers and are a deep and balanced squad. With eight seniors mixed with 11 other returnees and Georgetown’s highestrated recruiting class ever, the Hilltop should be home to a resurgent team, eager to erase any doubts from last year. 2006 D.C. Invitational All Tournament Team and recording two assists during her freshman season. The remaining five players have appeared in 151 collegiate contests, with 80 starts between them. Also, Kirsten Odermann, a veteran of 24 games on the Hilltop, returns after missing last season with an injury. The Hoyas also brought in two newcomers, Michaela Buonomo and Courtney Kent. Kent was a member of the Southern California Blues Soccer Club, one of the premier clubs in the nation and was named all-league and all-conference while captaining her high school team to a C.I.F Championship. Buonomo was a member of the Eastern Pennsylvania ODP Program and was named First Team All-League while earning Team MVP honors last season at Council Rock High School. ELAINA FILAURO FORWARDS Senior Elaina Filauro enters her senior season with 11 goals and needs only three more to be among the top-10 goalscorers in Georgetown history. Last year, Filauro was the second highest scorer on the team with four goals, including the eventual game-winner against BIG EAST preseason favorite Connecticut. She also recorded Georgetown’s only multi-goal game of the season with two scores in a win over DePaul. She will be joined at the forward position by three other returnees: Sarah Fetters, Brittany Berry and Toni Marie Hudson. Fetters tied for third on the team in goals with two, and finished with five points for the season. She scored the game-winner against American and also added a goal in a GU win over George Washington. Berry scored three goals during her freshman season, but ran into some bad luck last season as she was unable to find the net. Hudson started only two games last season, and appeared in only 10 games, mainly due to injury. The Hoyas also add freshman Daryn Towle from Santa Monica, Calif. to provide some more depth at the position. MIDFIELD Midfielder Chrissy Skogen has departed after leading the Hoyas in goals (6) and points (15), while finishing second on the team in assists (3) last season. Skogen left the Hilltop ranked third all-time in goals with 23 and tied for fifth all-time in points with 54. The losses of Skogen, along with Alexandra Hardy who started every game last season, and Shante Cofield who appeared in every game last year, leave a big void in the middle of the Hoya lineup. However, the Hoyas bring in four newcomers to mix with five returnees and create 2 8 0 0 7 G E O R G E T O GOALKEEPERS a young and solid nucleus. After sitting out 2005, Stephanie Zare was a stalwart for the Hoyas, starting every game of the 2006 season. Last season Zare was more of a defensive player, but she should expect to play more of an attacking role this season. Another player who has missed a season due to injury, Sara Jordan, returns after sitting out all of 2006. Jordan was already sixth all-time at Georgetown in assists after two seasons, while also tallying 10 goals. Lindsey Appezzato, Rachel Shone and Carlee Briglia all return from last season having played in 64 collegiate games among them. The mix of experience and talent among these five players will mesh well with the four incoming players. Ingrid Wells, Caitlin Durkee and Amy Speck were all listed among the top 125 incoming freshman by SoccerBuzz, and Lauren Von Der Ahe who was honored as both an all-league and all-conference selection for the past two seasons while being the top goal scorer on her team the past two years at Flintridge Prep. Jade Higgins, the all-time leader in saves and shutouts, returns for her senior year between the posts at Georgetown. With 18 career shutouts, she also holds the Georgetown single-season shutout record with seven in 2005. With her last save of the 2006 season, Higgins became the all-time career saves leader on the Hilltop, passing Shereena Chang (1998-2001). Last season, Higgins had a BIG EAST season-best 14 saves against George Mason.

O W N W O M E N ’ S S O C C E R JADE HIGGINS ELAINA FILAURO KIRSTEN ODERMANN Since the first time I stepped foot on the Hilltop I knew it was where I wanted to go to school. Teammates are more than teammates and coaches are more than coaches; we are a family. We push one another to a higher level and together we accomplish so much. There is nothing better than seeing your best friends each and everyday. There is a strong sense of tradition and pride, not only on the field, but throughout the whole Georgetown community. Georgetown has left an indelible mark on my life by making me the person that I am today. My experience of playing soccer here at Georgetown has truly exceeded all expectations that I had set before beginning my freshman year. Here we are given the opportunity to not only receive an incredible education, but also participate in one of the most competitive soccer conferences in the country. My teammates have grown into my best friends and have helped me through every challenge I have faced both on and off the soccer field. After three years as a student athlete, I have changed and grown so much and I owe most of that to my experiences within the Georgetown soccer program. As I enter my fourth and final season this fall, I know that I cannot take even one day for granted. I am so lucky to have been given the opportunity to represent this prestigious university and will always carry with me the pride I have learned from being a Hoya. My years at Georgetown have been fulfilling. Every year has brought new challenges and opened my eyes to new possibilities. The relationships I have formed with teammates, coaches, teachers, and students have molded me into the individual that I am today. I am honored to have experienced such a rich culture and feel blessed and encouraged with the lessons I’ve learned. I hope one day I can give back to this community, which has given so much to me. SARAH FETTERS Three years ago, I was given the opportunity to call myself a Hoya. After a few visits to this beautiful campus, I knew that this was the place for me. Georgetown has not only opened doors for my future, but it has shaped me into the person I am today. Being a student-athlete has maintained a balance in my life. The time-management and teamwork skills that I have built will be vital for my future in the business world. Aside from these benefits, the soccer team has provided me with my closest friends. These girls make you want to leave everything on the field everyday. Being a senior brings more responsibility. I hope to be an effective leader on and off the field, and I hope in 2007-08, we will bring this program to new levels. I am honored to call myself a Hoya, and I am proud to be playing with such amazing girls under a great coaching staff. KAREN WASKEWICH Being a student-athlete at an institution like Georgetown is one of the greatest honors a person could ever receive. Not only do you get to challenge yourself in the classroom and on the field, but you are also able to build long lasting relationships with professors and teammates. These girls have been my backbone, my friends, and my family. My time at Georgetown in addition to the love and support of my family, friends, and coaches, has helped me to grow in ways I never could have imagined. This experience has been unforgettable and I will always remember my four years on the Hilltop. SARA JORDAN Georgetown offers the best combination of good athletics, academics, and a great location. Going to school in D.C. is such a unique experience. Being a student-athlete presents unique challenges and rewards that I couldn’t have had any other place than Georgetown. 2 0 0 7 G E O STEPHANIE ZARE PLAYERS THIS IS GEORGETOWN SOCCER Participating on this team means not only a relentless commitment to self-improvement, but also the responsibility of inspiring your fellow teammates to continuously progress. Georgetown soccer means living with a sense of limitless intensity on and off the field and contributing to the strong sense of camaraderie that defines our team. As a student-athlete, I have developed my leadership skills and gained a greater knowledge of the vital components of a true leader. Being a Hoya has inspired me to pursue excellence in all realms, whether athletic or academic, and to become a dedicated lifelong learner. LINDSEY APPEZZATO Coming to Georgetown has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. For me, Georgetown offers the best of both worlds. Few schools can combine both a competitive soccer program and a challenging academic program, set in one of the most exciting cities in the country. As I enter my last year on the Hill, I am filled with the same excitement as when I first stepped foot on campus. I am eager to get back on the field with the seven other seniors for our final season, as we prepare for one last run toward a BIG EAST Championship. My time at Georgetown has been priceless, and I am thankful that I was given the opportunity to attend such a renowned school. VANESSA JOYCE When I came to Georgetown, I was excited to join an up-and-coming Division I soccer program. I had no idea that I would also be joining a community of people who have become like a family to me. Whether it’s hearing our athletic director cheer us on at games or receiving congratulations from teachers on campus, I have always felt the full support of the people around me at Georgetown. I have grown a lot since coming to the Hilltop, both on and off the soccer field, and the memories I have made here are ones that will stay with me long after I graduate. As I begin my senior season, I am even more excited than when I arrived, as we all hope to leave this program better than we found it and give back to a community that has given so much to us. R G E T O W N W O M E N ’ S S O C C E R 23 2006 REVIEW 2006 REVIEW Georgetown women’s soccer finished the competitive, yet disappointing, 2006 season with a 5-9-5 overall record and 2-7-2 mark in BIG EAST Conference play. The GU record is deceiving as the Hoyas had an opportunity to gain a point in each contest, losing their nine games by a total of 14 goals, including a 1-0 defeat to top-ranked Notre Dame to end the season. Senior Chrissy Skogen led the offensive attack for Georgetown for the secondstraight season. She paced the team with 15 points on six goals and three assists, earning All-BIG EAST Third Team honors for her efforts. Junior Elaina Filauro was second on the squad with 10 points on four goals and two assists. Junior goalkeeper Jade Higgins continued her stellar career on the Hilltop, posting a 0.99 goals against average with 77 saves and five shutouts. She now has 229 career saves, passing Shereena Chang as the school’s all-time saves leader. Classmate Karen Waskewich anchored the defense in front of Higgins and also dished out a teamhigh five assists. She finished the season tied for fifth all-time at Georgetown with 14 career assists. CHRISSY SKOGEN In the season opener for the Hoyas, Cristina Araps scored in the 13th minute to put GU in front of Binghamton, 1-0. After falling behind, 2-1, entering halftime, Georgetown needed a spark in the second half and received one from a goal off the foot of Elaina Filauro to tie the score. Waskewich assisted on both goals for the Hoyas, as they opened the season with a 2-2 draw. In the next game, Skogen scored just four minutes into the contest to spot the Hoyas an early one-goal lead. However, Davidson was able to tie the game in the second half and Georgetown came away with a secondconsecutive tie to start the year. Georgetown was blanked in its next contest, 2-0, at George Mason. However, Higgins set the 2006 BIG EAST season-high for saves in a game with 14 against the Patriots. The Hoyas opened the 2006 home campaign with a 2-1 overtime win against Duquesne at North Kehoe Field. The two teams played a scoreless first half before Skogen broke free on a cross and beat the Duquesne keeper from the left side. After letting the lead slip away with two minutes to play, the game headed to extra-time. A lucky bounce for the Blue and Gray resulted in the gamewinner as Sarah Fetters sent a cross from near the end line towards the goal, had it ricochet off a Duquesne defender and into the net for the Hoya win. After shutting out Duquesne in the overtime period, Jade Higgins rendered the next three GU opponents without a goal. After a scoreless, double-overtime tie with Loyola (Md.), Waskewich, Fetters and Shante Cofield all scored in a dominant 3-0 win ALEXANDRA HARDY 2 24 0 0 7 G E O R G E T O W N W O M E N ’ against George Washington. After consecutive shutouts, Higgins obtained the trifecta with a 2-0 blanking at American. Fetters would gave the Hoyas the lead in the second half before Skogen scored less than three minutes later to seal the win for GU. Georgetown struggled mightily on offense during the next four games as they were unable to find the back of the net in consecutive losses to Villanova, James Madison, Rutgers and Seton Hall. The Hoyas were able to get on the board in a 1-1 double-overtime tie with Providence when Skogen leveled the score in the second half off a pass from Fetters. After scoring only one goal in their last five games, the Hoyas faced off against Connecticut, the preseason favorite to win the American Division of the BIG EAST. Eight minutes into the contest, Georgetown surprised the Huskies after a Connecticut foul near midfield. Waskewich served a direct kick into the box at the far post as Alexandra Hardy one-timed the ball back to the middle of the box, where Elaina Filauro headed it off the fingertips of the Husky keeper for her second goal of the season. The score remained 1-0 into the second half until Skogen took a through ball from Filauro off a one-touch from Norah Swanson and sent a low ball to the lower left post. The ball would cross the goal-line and Georgetown scored its second goal of the game and minutes later, its first win in program history against Connecticut. Georgetown continued to have offensive woes that plagued them before the Connecticut game as they managed only one goal in its next four games, losses to Cincinnati, 15th-ranked Louisville and seventh-ranked West Virginia and a tie at Pittsburgh. During their final weekend of the season, the Hoyas would take on their remaining two BIG EAST opponents at home. The Blue and Gray opened with a 4-0 thrashing of DePaul as Filauro scored the first two goals of the game and Araps and Hardy followed with tallies of their own for the final score. Skogen assisted on the final three goals, her first of the season, to finish with a team-high 15 points on the year. In the season finale, Georgetown hung with the No. 1-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish for the entire 90 minutes, but allowed a second-half goal in a 1-0 loss.

While many outside the league were curious and sometimes skeptical of the long-term prospects of the largest Division I-A conference, the student-athletes concentrated on their tasks at hand and continued the league’s proud tradition of success. BIG EAST teams earned plenty of recognition at the highest levels in 2006-07. In basketball, the Georgetown men’s team and the Rutgers women’s team each advanced to their respective Final Fours with Rutgers Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 25 national championships in six different sports and 124 student-athletes have won individual national titles. The BIG EAST has always been able to boast that some of its best students are also some of its best athletes. More than 350 studentathletes have earned academic all-America honors. Last year in football, Brian Leonard of Rutgers won the Draddy Award, known as the academic Heisman. In addition, Rhema Fuller of Connecticut and Jay Henry of West Virginia were named national scholar-athlete award winners by the National Football Foundation. Louisville field hockey standout Jessica Javelet, the 2006 BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year, was named first team academic all-America. The Louisville team, which earned a berth in the NCAA Championship, was recognized by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association for the highest team GPA in the nation for a second straight year. The BIG EAST has continued its basketball success in the 21st century. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women took home the NCAA crowns. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last nine NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken five of the last eight NCAA titles.

In the spring of 2001, the BIG EAST added women’s lacrosse and rowing to its growing list of sports. The first women’s golf championship was held in the spring of 2003. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse Universities.

Louisville, West Virginia and Rutgers all finished in the top 12 in the final national polls. The BIG EAST posted a 5-0 bowl record and won the ESPN Bowl Challenge Cup. On the diamond, the Louisville baseball team played its way to the College World Series. In softball, DePaul also participated in the College World Series. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team advanced to the NCAA title game and the Connecticut field hockey team made it to the Final Four. The BIG EAST took the men’s and women’s M.A.C. Hermann Trophy, the top individual award in soccer. The winners were Joseph Lapira and Kerri Hanks, both of Notre Dame. The goals of the BIG EAST have never changed. The league aims and expects to compete at the highest level and does so with integrity and sportsmanship. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A group in 2005-06 when five new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida.

With its newest members, BIG EAST markets will contain almost one fourth of all television households in the U.S. 7 G E O R G E T O W N W O M E N Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven-school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad-based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student-athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics.
