HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (Oct. 20, 2010) - The
second annual Nick Colleluori Women's Lacrosse Classic was held on September 25

and blood cancer research.
There were 15 teams in this year's event as Hofstra, Adelphi, CW Post, Bentley,
Iona, La Salle, Long Island University, Stonehill, Temple, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and a pair of post-collegiate teams (New

and what this event means to her family.
