| The US Women’s National Handball Team (WNT) has recently returned to Cortland after competing in the 2005 Pan-American Championships in Sao Paolo, Brazil. The weeklong competition, which is held every two years in North or South America, was the first international competition for the WNT since beginning their year-round residency program at SUNY Cortland last August. Following an excellent display of effort and commitment, the team finished in sixth-place at the end of the tournament. “We knew that the level of competition would be high for a lot of our new players,” said Head Coach Christian Latulippe, “Hopefully they learned a lot from this experience, and have a better idea of where we need to be two years from now.” Although a top three finish would have secured a qualification for the 2005 World Championships, the primary goal of the WNT this time around was to gain international experience for the largely neophyte team. | |
