Before taking the field at every game this season,
the women's lacrosse team broke from its huddle shouting "Pride!" It was an
appropriate declaration. The White Mules finished the season with a 10-4 mark
and their first ECAC playoff berth since 1989. Three regular-season victories
were by a margin of more than 18 goals, and the Mules won the CBB
championship.
Three Cheers . . .
. . . for the women's tennis team, ranked 19th nationally
in Division III, which ended the season with an 11-4 record. Kim Cheah '99
(Pulau Pinang, Malaysia) finished as the Maine singles champion and was ranked
No. 32 nationally among Division III singles players.
Hurry Up and Win
If you attended women's track and field meets this spring, there were two
sounds you were certain to hear: the report of the starter's pistol and
frustrated officials saying, "We're waiting for Pomerleau!" Cynthia Pomerleau
'97, who competed in at least six of the heptathlon's seven events in most
meets, would be ripping through the 100-meter hurdles while a schedule-minded
shotput official awaited her customary 40-foot throw.

Updates on the exploits of all Colby teams.
Debbie MacWalter '91, an All-American heptathlete and four-time All- American
in the javelin, knows her school heptathlon record (4,384 points) might fall to
Cynthia Pomerleau '97 before too long. But MacWalter, who roomed with
Pomerleau's older sister, Pam '91, at Colby, wishes the heir apparent well. "I'm happy for her, but it's sad to see it go already," she said. "It's a big
accomplishment." MacWalter earned a master's degree in physical therapy from Simmons College in
1993 and practices at South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, Mass. And she hasn't
lost her desire to compete. She now runs up to 30 miles per week in preparation
for her first sprint series triathlon this summer. She says her husband, Fred
Bright '91, a real estate appraiser at Bank of Boston, will serve as her
"support crew" for the event, which includes a half-mile swim, 12-mile bike
ride and three-mile run.
