        Lancaster, PA - May 6, 1997 -- Johns Hopkins, which won the conference championship for the 
third time in four years with a perfect 10-0 conference record, placed five players on the 1997 
All-Centennial Conference women's lacrosse team which was announced today.

        Johns Hopkins senior defender Mary Ann McGuire (Rumson, NJ/Rumson-Fair Haven) was a unanimous 
first-team selection and was also named the Conference's Player of the Year in balloting by the 
Conference's 11 head coaches.  McGuire, a two-time All-CC first teamer, scored 17 goals and dished 
out two assists in league play, while also leading the Jays' defense.  Sophomore Neda Dawood (Hudson, 
OH/Western Reserve) was a first-team selection for the attack, scoring 33-3-36 overall to lead 
Hopkins' offense.  Junior goalkeeper Anita Patibandla (Canton, OH/Western Reserve) rounds out the 
Hopkins trio on the first team after posting a .698 save percentage and 4.45 goals against average in 
CC play.  Freshman attacker Danielle Maschuci (Toms River, NJ/The Peddie School) and senior defender 
Lara Fisher (Brookville, NY/ Portledge) both earned second-team status.  

        Gettysburg, the 1997 conference runner-up with a 9-1 record, placed four players on the first 
team.  Juniors Kim Fritz (Manhasset, NY/Manhasset) and Leslie Marotz (Duxbury, MA/Lincoln-Sudbury) 
represented the offense, while junior Kris Sullivan (Philadelphia, PA/Archbishop Wood) and senior 
Kate Mason (Bechtelsville, PA/Boyertown) were named on defense.  Fritz finished fourth in conference 
scoring with 28-9-37, while Marotz registered 25-3-28. 

        Ursinus junior attacker Missy Myers (Telford, PA/Souderton) moved up from the 1996 second 
team after scoring 38-4-42 in conference action.  Franklin & Marshall junior Kara Silberg (Baltimore, 
MD/Park School) and Haverford sophomore Liz Ames (Brookline, MA/Concord Academy) round out the 
first-team attackers.  Silberg moved up from the honorable mention list of a year ago with 20-10-30 
this year, while Ames earned her spot after topping the lists in conference (30-14-44) and overall 
scoring (50-21-71).  Washington's Amy Scarlett (Lansdale, PA/ Springside) and Bryn Mawr's Farah 
Hilley (Yeadon, PA/Penn Wood) round out the elite squad as first-team defenders.
