Gina Procaccio held out Sheila Reid, Bogdana Mimic, and Emily Lipari from the season opening Main Line Invitational, but the Villanova women swept the top seven finishing spots in the race. "The whole group went out faster than I thought they would," coach Procaccio said. "I was very happy to see that given the humidity this afternoon. That was a good sign to see them go out fast. This was a good start for us."
Callie Hogan (pictured above) won the 3-mile race in in 16:43.99, a full 1 minute 16 second improvement over her performance at last year's edition of the race. Nicky Akande was second, also with a large improvement: dropping last year's time of 18:31.60 all the way down to 16:49.49 this year. Four freshman ran their first races for Villanova to good effect: Courtney Chapman was 3rd in 17:06.62, Stephanie Schappert was 4th in 17:16.90, Megan Venables was 5th in 17:34.41, and Amanda Borroughs (unattached) was 9th in 18:09.61.
