2/7/2007 Senior Class Honored This Weekend Columbus, OH - The Ohio State University women’s club ice hockey team will be honoring its senior class this Saturday during the first game (Feb. 9th) versus Liberty. The Senior Day ceremony will begin at 5:15pm with the puck drop following at 5:30pm at the OSU Ice Rink. The seniors recognized this year at the ceremony will be Taylor Davidson and Liz Gelber. To find out what the seniors were thinking about Senior Day, Natalie Kalasky (former teammate) conducted interviews with each of the seniors.
Taylor Davidson is a senior defender majoring in both international business and marketing with minors in both French and Spanish. A true southern belle turned buckeye, Taylor calls Louisville (pronounced loavul), KY home. In her words, Louisville is the “home of the Louisville Slugger and the Kentucky Derby, if you haven't gone, you should because Louisville is fabulous.” Taylor chose to attend OSU because the university provided every opportunity that she needed in an educational institution. Her favorite aspect of playing club hockey is “playing against Michigan, seeing all your friends and family there to cheer you on.” She has many memorable moments with the team and says “I can't pick just one because the entire experience has been incredible, but I do love the life long friends I have made and the memories we'll have!” Taylor’s words of wisdom for future members of the team are “PROFITER DE LA VIE! It means make the most of life. Your time will go by faster than you think so make the most of the times with your teammates and playing for THE Ohio State University.” Her plans for next year include moving off campus with friends, working & attending school part-time and last but not least, getting a puppy.
Liz Gelber is a senior goaltender majoring in industrial and systems engineering. Hailing from Seaford, NY Liz describes her hometown as “on the south side of Long Island about 10 minutes from the beach and has the best bagels, pizza, ice cream and Chinese food ever.” She chose OSU because it has a great engineering department, not as much cobblestone as Purdue, and better dorms. She was also attracted to the university because most of her family went here. Liz says her favorite aspect of hockey “is being able to be nimble and graceful in forty pounds of equipment on a sheet of ice and still accomplish a given task.” Her most memorable moment with the team is playing on the playground near Lake Superior during the team’s annual trip to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to play Northern Michigan University. Liz’s advice for future members of the club is “We are 100% on wins when leading at the end of the third; don’t screw that up.” After graduation, Liz will move to Baltimore, Maryland and work at Northrop Grumman as an industrial engineer.
