Field Hockey All-Conference Teams Released
Amherst's Bowe Named
Player of the Year
HARTFORD, Conn. – Senior
forward/midfielder Gretchen Bowe of Amherst was named the 2000
NESCAC Field Hockey Player of the Year. A 1999 first team
All-American, Bowe scored seven goals and added five assists before
missing the end of the season with an ACL injury.
Bowe was one of three players to
repeat as first team All-NESCAC selections. Junior backs Sarah
Banister of Bowdoin and Molly Venter of Williams each earned
first-team recognition for the second consecutive year. Banister
was the top defender and fourth-leading scorer for the Polar Bears.
Venter, a 1999 All-American who missed time late in the season due
to injury, was the backbone of the Ephs’ defense.
Other players from conference
champion Bowdoin named to the first team were first-year goalkeeper
Jill McDonald and sophomore attack Leah McClure. McDonald led the
conference in goals against average and McClure led the team in
scoring and was tied for the conference scoring lead entering NCAA
play.
Freshman forward Emily Huffman of
Connecticut College shared the conference lead in scoring and was
named the 2000 NESCAC Rookie of the Year, while also earning
first-team all-conference accolades. Bowdoin fifth-year head coach
Nicky Pearson was named 2000 NESCAC Coach of the Year.
The other forwards named to the
first team were senior left wing Carlin Aloe of Wesleyan and
sophomore Steph Noering of Williams. Each led their respective team
in scoring and finished among the top five scorers in the
conference.
Junior midfielder Mairin Brady of
Amherst, and junior midfielder Lindsay Lionetti and senior sweeper
Colette Gaudet of Tufts were named to the first team. Brady scored
five goals and assisted on five others. Lionetti and Gaudet each
scored six goals this season.
