LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. - Siena women's head lacrosse coach Andrea Duffy will coach a select team in the 12th annual Prague Cup next week. The 10-team tournament will be played from June 22-25 and includes five teams from the United States, two from the Czech Republic, one mixed team (U.S. and Czech) and one from Wales and Australia. Three Siena players - Caitlin Mikel, Erin Hepper and Allie Primo - will play for Duffy in the Prague Cup.

Duffy's team, HSMG Eurostars, begins play with two games on Monday, June 20 (11:40 a.m. and 6:40 p.m. local time). They will play two games the following day before the elimination rounds.

"I am excited to take Harvard Sports Tours' first ever select team to Europe," said Duffy. "This is a great opportunity for the players to not only play in the Prague Cup and watch the World Cup games, but to travel through Europe."

Duffy and the Saints depart for Europe tomorrow. The first stop in their 10-day Euro trip is Munich followed by Salzburg (two training sessions) and then Prague for the tournament. They will also attend the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) Women's World Cup which is hosted by Prague.
