The blueprint for success has now reached the construction phase. When taking over the MWC women's lacrosse program in 1991, head coach Dana Hall depended on a large percentage of players with no high-school experience. Five years later, her recruiting efforts and constant enthusiasm has helped build a rock-solid foundation. In 1995, the Eagles went 8-6 against one of the toughest Division III schedules in the nation. Six MWC players, including four defensive standouts, were named to the All-Capital Athletic Conference team. Further strengthening the foundation is the fact that Coach Hall welcomes everyone back from last season.

Two of MWC's all-time leading scorers spark the Eagle offensive attack. Midfielder Eliza Huber (Sr./ Doylestown, PA), a Second-Team All-American in '95, finished sixth in the CAC in scoring with 42 points (29goals/13 assists; both team-highs). Huber-sixthon MWC's all-time scoring list with 106 points (79 goals/27 assists) – was named First-Team All-Region and All-CAC. Huber also paced MWC in ground balls/intercepttions (81) and draw controls (26). Midfielder Heather Hallowes (Sr./
Glastonbury, CT), who had 27 goals and 12 assists for 39 points in '95, was tabbed Second-Team All- Region and All-CAC. Her 119 points (88 goals/31 assists) rank fourth all-time in Eagle scoring. Scoring threats in 1995 also included 26-goal scorer Charlotte Cockrell Jr./Silver Spring, MD) and 24-goal sniper Liza Barber Jr./Weekapaug, RI). Juniors Heather Shumake (Glenwood, MD) and Kristie Fasanaro (Stony Brook, NY) scored 17 and 13 goals, respectively. Other offensive players to watch are: Kelly Sutton (So./Baltimore, MD), Melissa Schreiber Jr./Jarrettsville, MD), Erin Golden (So./Simsbury, CT) and Emily McManus (So./Severna Park, MD).

A staunch defense is led by two All-CAC First-Teamers, '96 co-captains Amy Halter (Sr./Parsippany, NJ) and Jen Wassif (Sr./Pasadena, MD). Halter - also named First-Team All-Region - collected 67 ground balls/interceptions and Wassif gathered in 70. Tricia Kube (Sr./Doylestown, PA) totaled 63 GB/INT. and 21 draw controls in route to Second-Team All-CAC honors. Fellow Second-Teamer Inga Fredland Jr./ Annapolis, MD) accounted for 73 GB/INT. Goaltender Nicole Matthews (Jr./Fairfax, VA) was solid, posting a .545 save percentage. Starting defender Gina Pisoni Jr./Great Falls, VA) suffered a broken leg in the '95 opener but should be ready in '96. Alexis Kingham (So./Swarthmore, PA) is another strong defender.
