A new era in Georgetown Athletics took another step forward as team captains, students, alumni, donors and University officials, as well as, members of the Georgetown community attended the groundbreaking for the Multi-Sport Facility on April 30th.

Speakers included Interim Director of Athletics Adam Brick, Associate Head Women's Lacrosse Coach Bowen Holden, parent and member of the Board of Directors Peter Cooper, Vice President of Student Affairs Todd Olson and University President Jack DeGioia. All spoke of the importance of this project not only for the future of Georgetown athletic success, but also for the entire Georgetown community.

A donor breakfast and guest luncheon also was part of the day's activities. Many guests attended the Georgetown-Rutgers lacrosse game on North Kehoe Field following the festivities.

The new field hosts its first official game September 17th, the home opener for the 2005 football season against Ivy League opponent Brown University.
