NCAA tournament game with lots of locals

Hackley graduate Morgan Lathrop, Yorktown graduate Katrina Dowd and the rest of the Northwestern Wildcats start their quest for a fourth straight NCAA title today against Notre Dame.
Lathrop, a Briarcliff resident, is 17-1 with a 6.61 goals-against average, while Dowd entered the game fourth on the team in goals (33) and points (37).
Notre Dame features starting goalie Erin Goodman, a Lakeland gradaute. Goodman has started all 18 games, going 12-6 with a 10.50 GAA and a 46.8 save percentage. The Fighting Irish also have attacker Julie Foote, a Suffern graduate, who has appeared in nine games this year.
By my count, there are four other locals in the NCAA tournament today, and at least one has a major role. New Hampshire defenseman Kelli LaPerch, a Brewster graduate, has started all 18 games on defense, recording 23 ground balls. The other locals are Suffern gradaute Carolyn Gioia, an attacker at Vanderbilt, Panas graduate Katie Rogers, a defender at Princeton, and White Plains graduate Sarah Kellogg, an attacker at Colgate.
Good luck to everyone today, and throughout the tournament (unless you play Duke, in which case I hope you lose).
