Aug. 3, 2005 Ganc Moves on to Division I
	LOCK HAVEN, Pa –   Lock Haven University graduate assistant women’s soccer coach Christy Ganc was recently named assistant soccer coach at Division I Loyola College by head coach John Byford.  Ganc, who played under Byford for the 1999-2000 seasons at St. Joseph’s University, has been a graduate assistant coach for the Lady Eagles the past year. “Coaching at Lock Haven has given me the all around experience both on and off the field,” said Ganc. “Working with the administration, recruiting and coaching the players will provide me with a strong base for my transition to Division I.”   During her time at Lock Haven the team went 11-7-2 with an impressive 8-1-1 in the PSAC West. The team enjoyed their ninth 10-win season in a row. Ganc helped coach two players to all-region honors as well as six players to the all-conference teams.  During her one season at Lock Haven she worked under former head coach and current Associate Athletic Director Peter Campbell as well as current Lady Eagle head coach Heather Kendra. She was an integral part of all facets of the coaching duties including recruiting and working with the individual players. “We’re sorry to lose such a great coach,” said Kendra. “But we are excited for her and the challenges she will face at the Division I level.” Prior to arriving at Lock Haven, Ganc had a four-year career as the starting goalkeeper for the Saint Joseph’s University (Pa.) women’s soccer team.  She closed out her stint in goal second among Hawk keepers with 245 career saves and third with an overall 2.04 goals against average. Named the Hawks’ Most Valuable Player following her senior campaign in 2002, she was also successful in the classroom. A four-time recipient of the scholar-athlete award at St. Joseph’s, Ganc additionally earned placement on the Dean’s List during four semesters.
