Schappert + Piccirillo + Akande + Lipari = 4x800 Big East Title



In a scenario that no longer surprises anyone, Emily Lipari yesterday unleashed a ferocious last lap kick to steal the Big East 4 x 800 meter title from Notre Dame. The Villanova quartet of Stephanie Schappert, Angel Piccirillo, Nicky Akande, and Emily Lipari took the title after Lipari -- rebuffed by Notre Dame anchor Rebecca Tracy on an attempted pass on the final turn -- stormed ahead over the final 10 meters of the race to cap a victorious 2:06.9 anchor. The winning time of 8:40.50 is the fastest time in the NCAA this season.
