Hillary Gintowt Signs National Letter-of-Intent with ENMU Women's Soccer Team

PORTALES, N.M. — Hillary Gintowt, a 5’4” midfielder from Gallup High School in Gallup, N.M., has signed a National Letter-of-Intent to play for the women’s soccer team at Eastern New Mexico University. Gintowt, who also played for the Classic FC Cats in club soccer, will be a freshman at ENMU during the 2005 season.

Gintowt has played three seasons of soccer at GHS. She scored 12 goals and earned eight assists as a junior, then recorded eight goals and three assists as a senior. She was named First Team All-District in 2003 and 2004. She also earned Academic All District honors three times. Gintowt is in the top 10 percent of her graduating class, and is a member of the National Honor Society and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

In addition to playing soccer, she has competed in track and field all four years at GHS. She has been chosen as an All-District and Academic All-District selection, and has qualified for the State Meet twice.

The 2005 season will be the third year the Zias have competed in intercollegiate soccer. In 2004, ENMU finished the year with an overall record of 9-9-2, including a 2-5-2 record in the Lone Star Conference. The Zias earned 8 points in the LSC standings (three points per win; one point per tie) and fell just one point shy of qualifying for the conference tournament.

“Hillary has very good speed. She loves to attack, and will only make our team stronger,” Head Coach Travis McCorkle said. “She is eager to be a part of our team and help us achieve a higher level of success next year.”
