| Carlow University Names Cross-Country Coach for Women's and Men's Teams |

Verona Resident Will Coach First Ever Men's Athletic Team
Pittsburgh, Pa. - Carlow University has named Ashley Goodsell, a Verona resident, as the head coach of both the women's and men's cross-country teams, which will begin competition in the fall of 2012.
Carlow most recently sponsored a womens cross-country team in the fall of 1996. This will be the first time that Carlow has fielded a men's team in any sport.
Goodsell, who currently serves as an assistant coach for the soccer team at Riverview High School in Oakmont, is pursuing a master's degree in secondary education at Point Park University. She earned her bachelor's degree in journalism and communication from Point Park, after transferring from Stockton College of New Jersey. At Stockton, she participated in track and field. While at Point Park, she participated in soccer and captained the team during her junior and senior years
"In addition to her soccer experience, Ashley has a great deal of running experience and a passion for running that came through as part of the interview process," said George Sliman, director of Athletics at Carlow. "There is no doubt that she will be able to get this program established and provide our students with an outstanding intercollegiate athletics experience."
Sliman also indicated that Goodsell's involvement in the community played a factor in her hiring.
"She is experienced in the NAIA's Champions of Character Program," he said. "That was important since service is a core value at Carlow and in our athletics program."
