NESCAC Field Hockey All-Conference Teams Announced
Jennings of Williams
Named Player of the Year
HARTFORD, Conn. - Junior midfielder
Molly Jennings was chosen the 2002 NESCAC Field Hockey Player of
the Year in a vote by the conference coaches. Jennings along with
teammate and first-team selection Tori Scott led Williams College
to a 14-3 mark and NESCAC Championship.
Connecticut College junior forward
Emily Huffman, the 2000 NESCAC Rookie of the Year, and Bowdoin
junior goalkeeper Gillian McDonald made their third consecutive
appearance on the all-conference first team. Huffman, a 2001
All-American, accounted for over half of the Camels goals on the
year with eight scores. McDonald allowed just 14 goals in 16 games
and recorded 10 shutouts with an .870 save percentage.
Bowdoin senior Leah McClure and
Colby sophomore Wendy Bonner, the conference’s leading goal
scorers with 12 on the year, also earned first-team recognition.
Last year’s NESCAC Player of the Year, Middlebury junior Char
Glessner, was again named to the first team after leading the
conference in assists (12) and points (32).
A trio of seniors were named
all-conference first team defenders. Wesleyan’s Marley Aloe,
Bowdoin’s Sarah Laverty and Trinity’s Susan Hoppock all
make their first appearance on the all-conference list.
Junior midfielder Amanda Burrage,
who led Bowdoin in assists (10), was one of four Polar Bears named
to the first team. Bowdoin coach Nicky Pearson was honored by her
peers as Coach of the Year after Bowdoin finished the regular
season as the number one seed and ended with a 12-4 overall record.
Freshman defender Emily Grannon of
Williams was named the conference Rookie of the Year. Grannon and
the Ephs will travel to Messiah and face Wittenberg in the first
round of the NCAA Division III Field Hockey Championship.
