GUILFORD WOMEN'S LACROSSE STUDENT-ATHLETES HONORED

Greensboro, NC (5/8/06) -- Jordan Clodfelter, Mary Hutchins and Caryn Stone of Guilford College's women's lacrosse team earned Second Team All-Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) honors Monday according to a vote of the league's head coaches. The Quakers' Jennifer Maynard and Billie Pellerito received honorable mention laurels.


Jordan Clodfelter	Mary Hutchins	Caryn Stone

Clodfelter, a sophomore attacker, finished second on the team in scoring with 40 points on 32 goals and eight assists. She ranked second in goals and had 21 draw controls, Guilford's fourth-best total. Clodfelter led the Quakers' goal scorers five times and had the club's most points in four games. She scored a career- and game-high six goals in the Quakers' 21-13 home win over Sweet Briar that clinched the sixth and final ODAC Tournament spot. Clodfelter also had six points with four goals and two assists in Guilford's 21-8 win over North Carolina Wesleyan. She earned honorable mention All-ODAC honors in 2005.

Hutchins, a sophomore midfielder, scored a team-high 52 points on 35 goals and 17 assists. She ranked second to Pellerito with 46 ground balls and picked up a club-high 38 draw controls. Her 52 points were one more than her freshman total and Guilford's eighth-best season total. Hutchins' 35 goals rank ninth in school history and her 17 assists stand second only to her school-record 21 helpers in 2005. She places among the ODAC leaders in points (7th), assists (6th) and goals (10th) per game and led Guilford's scorers seven times. Hutchins hit for a career- and game-high six goals in the Quakers' 13-10 season-opening win over crosstown-rival Greensboro. She had a pair of seven-point showings in wins over Hollins and North Carolina Wesleyan. Just 30 games into her career, Hutchins ranks second in Guilford history with 38 career assists and eighth with 103 career points.

Stone, a junior defender, led Guilford with 19 caused turnovers and ranked fourth on the team with 41 ground balls. She also contributed 10 points on seven goals and three assists. Stone scored a team- and season-high three points with two goals and an assist in the Quakers' ODAC Tournament loss to Randolph-Macon. A 2004 honorable mention All-ODAC performer, Stone ranks 13th in Guilford history with 93 ground balls in 42 career games.


Billie Pellerito	Jenn Maynard

Pellerito, a junior, started the season in the midfield, but played in goal for the team's final three games. The team captain led the Quakers with 46 ground balls and added 13 points on eight goals and five assists. Between the pipes, Pellerito posted a 17.86 goals against average and .351 saves percentage in 168 minutes over three games. Her eight ground balls at Lynchburg marked a team season high and she collected a season-best two goals in a league loss to Virginia Wesleyan. Pellerito starts her senior season in 12th place on the Quakers' career ground balls list (102).

Maynard, a sophomore defender, started all 16 games and contributed a goal, 23 ground balls and five caused turnovers. She netted her second career goal and only tally of the season in a league win over Hollins. Her six ground balls against Virginia Wesleyan marked a career high.

Coach Matthew Grosso's Quakers posted a 5-11 overall record, 3-5 in the ODAC. The team returned to the ODAC Tournament this year after a one-year absence, but fell to Randolph-Macon in the opening round. With no seniors on the 2006 roster, Grosso expects all 16 letter winners back in 2007.
