Washington, D.C. - The Georgetown University field hockey team celebrated its 2005 season on Sunday, February 12, 2006 at a luncheon banquet at Maggiano's in Chevy Chase, Md. Four seniors were honored after completing four incredible years on the Hilltop. Captain Caitlin Bump (Barrytown, N.Y./Emma Willard), Erica Chan (Reisterstown, Md./Garrison Forest), Tara Mead (Wellesley, Mass./Noble and Greenough School) and Casey Rock (Smithtown, N.Y./Smithtown) were thanked for the effort, passion and dedication they have put into the Hoya program.

Awards were also handed out to those who had special seasons in 2005. The award winners include:
Unsung Hero Award
Megan Cellucci (Malvern, Pa./Villa Maria Academy)

Marilyn Dodd Award for Service and Loyalty to the Team
Tara Mead (Wellesley, Mass./Noble and Greenough School)

Coach's Award

As family and friends of the program celebrated the seniors, the award winners and the fall season, the underlying energy came from what lies in the future. The league announced on February 1, 2006 that the Hoyas will join the BIG EAST Conference beginning in the fall of 2006.

Only adding to that celebration were the new warm-up jackets that were purchased for the team by Hoyas Unlimited's Circle Club.

Guy and Bernadette Cellucci
Richard and Patrice Crovo
