Women’s Golf
The Georgetown women’s golf team was ranked 80th in the nation in the April 18 Golfstat rankings. The ranking is the highest ever for the program in its five years of existence. It comes after the Hoyas won two tournaments this spring and had a top-five finish in another. Georgetown is one of seven ranked Big East teams and falls directly in the middle of them with the fourth-highest ranking, ahead of Cincinnati (126), St. John’s (137) and Rutgers (179) and behind South Florida (53), Notre Dame (55) and Louisville (72).
Men’s Soccer
On April 17, Head Coach Brian Wiese named Zachary Samol and Joshua Shapiro assistant coaches. Samol comes from a successful Yale program where he helped lead them to last year’s Ivy League championship, as well as a berth in the NCAA tournament.
Shapiro will be entering his third D.C.-area coaching job in the last three years; he spent last year at American University and the spring before at George Mason University.
Women’s Basketball
On Tuesday, Head Coach Terri Williams-Flournoy announced that two players, Shanice Fuller of Chesapeake, Va., and Krystal Hatton of St. Louis, Mo., will join the Georgetown team next year.
Fuller will see action at both one and two-guard where she played while leading her high school team with 15.3 ppg. Hatton, a 6-foot-2 power forward, will add height and strength to a shorthanded team. Both players will help to boost a diminished Hoya roster that only listed eight players this year, three of whom are scheduled to graduate in May.
