I don't like the term upset because last season, Lehigh blew us out and then we blew them out twice (once being in the tournament). However, this season, Lehigh has beaten us twice and I strongly believe it is because the team I am used to playing with did not show up for the game. If we play to our capablities as a team, we are going to be successful. If we let Lehigh control the tempo, we will struggle. Controlling the tempo and good defense will win the game for us.

How tall are you?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:15am ET
Hahaha, many people wonder about that. I am 5'10 1/2 however I am listed as 6'1 for intimidation factors!

My daughter is really interested in Lafayette and she plays softball. She is an All-State third baseman in Connecticut, but the recruiters have not been coming on as heavy as I thought they would. Do you think Lafayette is a good school and a good college to compete at?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:19am ET
I would send my schedule to Lafayette along with an introduction to who you are and your interest of Lafayette. I would also call the coach and talk to them personally. This way, they are aware that you are interested. You could even send a tape if one is available. Lafayette is a great school both academically and athletically and those are the main reasons I chose it.

What makes a rivalry like the one Lafayette has with Lehigh so intense?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:21am ET
I believe that part of it comes from us being so close to one another. Another reason is that there is the long standing football rivalry. I think a combination of the two make for a strong rivalry.

Of the freshmen on the squad, who do you think will have the biggest impact on the team in the future?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:23am ET
After looking back on the season, I would be confident in saying that Colleen Fitzpatrick is going to be one hell of a player. SHe is very fluent with her moves and is very strong. SHe has a nose for rebounding and once she develops a strong back to the basket game, she is going to be unstoppable.

Hey Chris (and Mike)! Who do you think will win the tournament overall?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:26am ET
Hi there! I think that HOly Cross or Bucknell are good candidates. However I also feel we could win if we play to our capabilities.

If Lafayette makes it to the NCAA's and Christina LiVEcchi becomes a star- will you rmember your friends from Haddon Twp.????
Christina LiVecchi at 11:27am ET
I will remember the little people who made me who I am today. Thanks Nick :-) OH and my shoe size is still an 11.

How did playing with the Philadelphia Belles and the talent of such players as Lauren Kwasny help you prepare for the collegiate level?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:29am ET
Without players like Lauren Kwasny I probably wouldnt have had the chance to develop my game or my confidance in high school because you can't have good post players without great point guards.

How confident are you in your coaching staff to lead you to a win this weekend against Lehigh? What have you worked on this week to offset Anne Tierney?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:33am ET
I am very confident that they will prepare us well for the game. They can't come on the floor to play the game so the fate of the game is in the players hands not the coaches. We will keep Anne off the boards and make her play to her weaknessess and YES she does have them.

Do you consider yourself a better athlete overall than I was in High School?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:34am ET
That's a tough one because you were good in all of your sports...I did get a lot more press than you though....

Do you feel you could hold your own with the men's teams? Who is your favorite Sixer?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:39am ET
Our mens team is really good and I think they would beat us pretty bad...I'm an Iverson fan. Hope all the daughters are doing well Dave :-)

How old were you when you started playing bball? And what were your other college choices before deciding to go to Lafayette?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:42am ET
I was in third grade when I started playing. I also wanted to go to Bucknell. I had some offers from schools like Drexel, LaSalle, Temple and St. Bonaventure but I chose Lafayette because of the academics.

You have plenty of threats inside the paint...Bayer, Fitzpatrick, Yourself...but who do you see is the biggest threat to your opponents from the outside?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:44am ET
Christel Rocha and Kim Costello because they are our biggest three point threats. THey also have good penatrating moves.

What do you expect to contribute to your team in order for them to win the tournament?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:46am ET
I want to play good defense as well as be an offensive threat. And I want to stick to HEssels shoulder to make her have to go left!
Lauren Kwasny from

Has much has the injury to Rojahn hurt the team this season and how much of a factor has her absence been on the team's game plan?
Liz from
[139.147.202.39], at 11:47am ET
Who do you think will step up in the backcourt when Rocha graduates?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:48am ET
Liz had an awesome season last year and I think that her injurt took away from the depth we had on our team. She is a good outside threat! Rojahn rules!
Christina LiVecchi at 11:48am ET
I think S #11 is going to be a huge impact next season!

Who were your role models growing up?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:50am ET
I admired my family first and foremost. When I was little, I used to love watching great players from my area like Gail Shelly and Jackie Donavan play.

Why do you say your from Haddonfield when you actually live in Haddon Township?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:51am ET
BEcause Haddon Township is not a city. Its a small town that no one has heard of...You do the same thing!

In a one-on-four game between Brian Burke and you, Katie Miller, Colleen Fitzpatrick and Sara Harris, who would win?
Sam from

Holy Cross is a favorite for the League tournament but what about the NCAA picture? Who's your pick?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:52am ET
I would like to see an underdog win for a change...like a Notre Dame or a Stanford.

Why is your career goal to be physician's assistant- why not jus become a physician???
Christina LiVecchi at 11:56am ET
I don't want to be on call. And I wouldnt have a high GPA if I took all my science requirements here. As a PA, I can take them over the summer.

What is the biggest matchup in the Patriot League Tournament that you are most anxious to see(besides your game, of course)?
Christina LiVecchi at 11:57am ET
I think I would like to see Bucknell play Holy Cross. And I want Bucknell to win it.
Christina LiVecchi at 11:59am ET
IF I played against those people, I would win...maybe Brian:-)
