October 12, 2008 (Los Angeles, Calif.)–16 new players have joined the USC Women’s Lacrosse team for the 2009 campaign. The rookies represent 7 different states (Calif., Colo., N.J., Va., N.Y.,Mass., & R.I.) and two countries (U.S. and Canada). With 35 total members, USC Lacrosse will now field an “A” and a “B” team in the WWLL this season.
While still a work in progress, the current plan is to field a 21-member “A” team and a 14-member “B” team in order for every player to see plenty of lacrosse action. The “A” team will play 14-regular season games while the “B” team will play 12. Former attack player Marissa Pesce (USC, 2008) will serve as the head coach of the newly established “B” squad.
For more information about the team, please email team captain Courtney Quinn: courtneq@usc.edu or Head Coach Gabe Valenzuela: valenzug@usc.edu
