BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Lehigh assistant coach Susan Ciufo has enjoyed a busy summer with USA Field Hockey as she continues to play against, and learn from, the best in the sport. Ciufo led Team PA to the championship game of the Outdoor National Championships in June while she's also on the Indoor National Team. The Bangor, Pa. native enjoyed a standout career at Drexel where she led the Dragons to the 2009 National Quarterfinals.
Ciufo scored five goals in the June tournament, among the leaders of the Outdoor Championships which were held at the University of Maryland. One highlight came against the North when she scored twice, including the game-winner in overtime, to send PA to the championship game. Pennsylvania was coached by Ciufo's former coach Denise Zelenak from Drexel while the roster included four of Ciufo's former college teammates.
Ciufo has also been heavily involved with the Indoor National Team after being named to the squad last October. The prestigious squad includes some of the best players from around the country. For the complete roster, please see below.
