Team of the Year - Best of 2009
Dec 29, 2009
(Some of the video may be a little jumpy so our apologies as the interview was done via internet from FL. Special thanks for Villanova Coach Gina Procaccio for making time on her vacation to speak with us!)
The thing that this year's team had in common with the 2008 Flotrack Team of the Year was dominance! Similar to Washington a year ago, this year's Villanova team showed us a storybook season. From surprising the Ducks at their home meet in September to winning their second consecutive Big East title to placing 7 in the top 15 at the regional......oh yeah, they even had 5 All-American with all scoring members finishing in the top 30 at the NCAA Championships! Despite coming into the national meet ranked #2, the Wildcats brought home their 8th NCAA trophy this fall and the first title in 11 years. Nova was led by Amanda Marino (6th) and Sheila Reid (13th) as the team scored a low 86 points for the victory. With the squad returning 4 of their top 5 and 5 of the top 7, this is a team to look out for in 2010.
