Guilford College's Caryn Stone Tabbed for North-South Game
Greensboro, N.C. (5/22/07) -- Guilford College's Caryn Stone will compete in the 2007 North-South Senior All-Star Game June 16 in Downingtown, Pa. One of 40 students selected from a field of approximately 80 seniors, she will play for the South team and is the first Guilford student so honored. The annual contest is part of the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association's 2007 STX Farewell Lacrosse Festival.
Stone, a defender, earned Second Team All-Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) recognition for the second straight season in 2007. She ended her career with a personal-best 15 points (5 goals, 10 assists) in 17 games. Her 39 ground balls ranked second on the team and she placed third with a career-high 20 caused turnovers. Stone caused four miscues and picked up five ground balls, both season highs, in the Quakers' March 24 ODAC win over Bridgewater College. She also picked up five ground balls against league-rival Roanoke College April 7 and scored twice in the Quakers' March 31 win over Randolph-Macon College.
Stone, a team captain, leaves Guilford as the school's career leader with 61 caused turnovers and ranked ninth with 132 career ground balls. She earned honorable mention All-ODAC recognition in 2004.
Coach Matthew Grosso's Quakers posted an 8-9 overall record, 4-4 in the ODAC. The team returned to the ODAC Tournament for the second straight year, but fell in the quarterfinals to Roanoke, 10-7.
