Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3408108, member: 6620"] As you said, Courtney Banghart did a stellar job building Princeton into an Ivy League-title winner. So Carla wasn't walking into an empty gym: far from it, with Bella Alarie, Carlie Littlefield, Julia Cunnigham, etc. But that poses challenges in it's own right, as she said: "This was going to be a challenge for me just because it was going to be something new, to come into an established program, a talented team that has already won Ivy League championships. A challenge, but I thought it would be a really good transition. I felt like I could come in here and not start from ground zero, but just put my voice and my spin on things.” So far, so good. Banghart had done an excellent job of finding local talent regionally, in both public high schools (Cunningham in NJ) and private schools (Grace Stone at Lutheran in Long Island). She was in contact with Sonia Citron (Ursuline in Westchester, NY) and has been with her now that she's in NC. Wonder if Coach Berube has kept that contact alive...I could see Citron playing for either coach. (and of course, another one out in South Bend ;) ) [/QUOTE]
