The Panthers open the season during the spring break trip to Cocoa, Florida the week of March 14-20.

The Panthers return nine players from the team that finished 35-12 in 2009, led by All-American Brooke Wierzbicki (Vestal H.S./Vestal), all-region selections Colleen Bannon (Vestal H.S./Vestal) and Ashleigh Greenough (Troy H.S./Columbia Cross Roads, Penn.), and national tournament offensive MVP Lauren Dykeman (Union-Endicott H.S./Endicott). The freshman class includes a pair of top pitchers – Erica Gigliotti (Cicero-North Syracuse H.S./Cicero) and Janelle Boyd (Archbishop Molloy H.S./Hempstead) – that should give the team strength and depth in the circle.

TC3 President Supports Public Higher Education Empowerment and Innovation ActDRYDEN, N.Y. – The Public Higher Education Empowerment and Innovation Act proposed by New York Governor David Paterson has the support of Tompkins Cortland Community College President Carl Haynes. The act, included as part of the governor's 2010-11 executive budget, provides the State University of New York (SUNY) and its campuses more flexibility and responsibility over its own finances. As part of the SUNY system, TC3 is supportive of the proposal.
 
"Tuition guidelines, especially in light of continuing state aid cuts, will give us some clarity and predictability in terms of funding in the future," said Haynes. "I hope this gets approved. This would be great for SUNY." 
 
The bill is multifaceted, with components including implementing a tuition policy under the auspices of the SUNY Board of Trustees, land use and public-private partnerships that enable campuses to be entrepreneurial, and streamlined operational and procurement practices. It also authorizes the state dormitory authority to finance the construction of residence halls on community college campuses.
 
"Public higher education needs the kind of flexibility and latitude that this proposal provides," said Haynes. "The measures included in this proposal are long overdue."

All-State Player Commits to TC3 Women's SoccerMarathon's Paige McCarthy Joins Panthers for Fall 2010DRYDEN, N.Y. – Two-time all-state soccer player Paige McCarthy has committed to Tompkins Cortland Community College. McCarthy, who will graduate from Marathon Central School in the spring, was a four-time all-IAC selection, including being named the MVP of the IAC Small School North Division in 2009. 
 
McCarthy, who was recruited by several colleges, will join Coach Mick McDaniel's Panthers for the fall 2010 season. "I love the school, and because I really don't know what I want to study, I thought a two-year school made sense," said McCarthy. "I met the (TC3) team during the year and really liked them. They seem like a tight knit group, and that's the way to win championships."
 
 McCarthy knows about winning championships. Her team won the IAC small school title this year, and, as a junior, she helped the Olympians to the girl's soccer state championship, the first in the school's history. The title was won on the TC3 turf field. She looks forward to getting back on that same field this fall as a Panther. "I really like the school's facilities," said McCarthy, who attended several TC3 games as part of the recruiting process. "I like how aggressive the college game is, and I how they (TC3) played as a team."
 
A sweeper and team captain for Marathon Coach Trish Hayes the last two years, she has also played in the midfield. But leading the defense seems to be what best suits her strengths. "I will play anywhere, but I like to talk a lot, and I like being the one in control of things," she said, noting her high school teammates voted her 'Most Likely to Become a Motivational Speaker.'  "I feel like I'm that person that helps keep the team up. I'm talking constantly- directing things and keeping the team positive."
 
This is the second year in a row TC3 has signed a two-time all-state soccer player from the IAC. Last year, it was Candor's Kristen Cleveland. "I am always encouraged about our program when we get the best local players attending TC3 and playing for us," said McDaniel. "Paige has the energy that we need in the back and the pace to shut down top forwards from around the region."
 
McCarthy joins a TC3 program that has become one of the strongest in the nation, posting a .650 winning percentage over the past five seasons, producing four all-Americans, 15 all-region players, and 21 all-conference selections along the way. The Panthers have made the NJCAA playoffs each of those seasons, advancing to the semifinals twice. McDaniel has been honored with three coach of the year awards during those five years.
 
The 2010 team returns several key players, including all-conference and all-region selection Courtney Henry (Thousand Islands H.S./Clayton), but will have to make up for the loss of eight players to graduation, including two-time all-Region III defender Monica Sacco (Union Springs H.S./Cayuga).
 
"Monica has been the heart of our defense the past two seasons, so replacing her was a top priority," said McDaniel. "McCarthy fills that need and is a tremendous addition to a very promising 2010 recruiting class."
 
TC3 opens the 2010 season August 28 against Holyoke Community College (Mass).
