Bel Air, Md. Several members of the Temple women's lacrosse team participated in the 2009 Women's Division National Tournament, held May 23-24 in Bel Air, Maryland. The Tournament, which showcases the top high school and collegiate players, is one of the premier women's lacrosse events in the nation.
Alex Shapiro, Lauren Caminiti, Karly Cohen, Missy Schweitzer, Keelin Hood, Jackie Mercer and Allison McWilliams all competed in the Regional Club Division, while Tracy Zimmer and Jessica Colucci played in the Stars and Stripes Division.
The Women's Division National Tournament began in 1933 as a tournament to showcase the best Post-Collegiate and club women's lacrosse players. Since that time, it has grown into one of the largest women's lacrosse events in the country. It is a true celebration of women's lacrosse and continues to represent the heartbeat of the game. Tournament highlights include division championships, a U.S. team exhibition, the High School All-Star game and a premier recruiting opportunity for high school players.
