Our Preseason Outlook on the SUNY Oneonta website states:
The 2010 women’s lacrosse team will look towards returning to the SUNYAC tournament for the second consecutive year after a third place finish last season in the conference standings. Head Coach Jessica Pausewang enters her third year and will look to mix the experience of her returners with the youth of her newcomers to form a successful 2010 campaign.
This year’s attack will be led by returning first team All-Conference and IWLCA All-Region selection sophomore Rebecca Monteith (West Islip, NY/West Islip). Monteith led Oneonta with a single-season record 70 goals, breaking Sue Murray’s 23-year record. Also expected to join Monteith on attack are sophomores Heidi Kissinger (East Islip, NY/ East Islip) and Brittany Passarelli (Yorktown, NY/Yorktown). Kissinger contributed 20 goals and 10 assists to the attack as a rookie in 2009.
Leading the midfield for the Red Dragons is junior Rosemarie Fazio (Mohegan Lake, NY/Lakeland) who led the team with 32 assists and 48 ground balls, while also adding 45 goals. Fazio also broke the single-season assists mark during 2009, which was aided by an eight assist effort against crosstown-rival Hartwick College.
Returning juniors Ciara Morse (Oceanside, NY/Oceanside) and Katie O’Connor (Lynbrook, NY/Lynbrook), as well as sophomore Samantha Voor (West Islip, NY/West Islip) are all expected to have strong seasons following successful campaigns one year ago. Meanwhile, incoming freshmen Taylor Troyano (West Islip, NY/West Islip), Jaclyn Martella (Dix Hills, NY/Half Hollow Hills East) and Sarah Stark (Huntington, NY/Harborfields) are also expected to help in the transition game as well.
Oneonta’s top returning defender is senior Michelle Hammer (New Rochelle, NY/New Rochelle), who led the defense with 18 ground balls, while garnering second-team All SUNYAC honors for her 2009 season. Pausewang expects Hammer’s hard work during the offseason will make her an even greater defensive threat during her senior year.
The goaltending will once again be handled by sophomore Annelise Muscietta (Lindenhurst NY/Copiague), who started all 16 games one year ago. Muscietta had a 10-6 record during her freshman season while having an 11.91 goals against average. Pausewang is looking for her to have even greater success with a full season under her belt.
The Red Dragons start their season against a former SUNYAC foe, Binghamton University, now of the America East Conference (Division I) in a scrimmage, before beginning a regular season that includes three schools ranked in the IWLCA preseason top-20.
