HARTFORD, Conn. - Senior attacker
Char Glessner was chosen the 2003 NESCAC Women’s Lacrosse
Player of the Year in a vote by the conference coaches. Glessner, a
three-time first team selection and 2000 NESCAC Rookie of the Year,
led the league in points per game (5.77) and goals per game (3.85)
while helping Middlebury to extend the team’s 48-game winning
streak and win their third consecutive NESCAC Championship.
Glessner is joined on the first
team by five Panther teammates. Juniors Nuala O’Donohue and
Sarah Grenert are both repeat first-team selections.
O’Donohue, a junior midfielder, was third on the team in
scoring and Grenert, a goalkeeper for the Panthers, led the
conference in save percentage and goals against average. Senior

defense allowing just 4.69 goals per game. Middlebury senior
Kristin Hanley ranked third in the nation in assists with a
conference-leading 3.08 assists per game.

coach Missy Foote earned NESCAC Coach of the Year honors for the
third consecutive season.
Eight of the 12 first team honorees
were repeat selections. Williams midfielders Kathryn Doherty and
Molly Jennings were each honored as first-team selections for the
second consecutive season. Jennings, the 2002 NESCAC Field Hockey
Player of the Year, led Williams in goals, caused turnovers and
draw controls while ranking ninth in the league averaging 3.69
points per game. Doherty ranked among the conference leaders in
both goals and assists this season.
Amherst’s Liz Martin and Abby
Ouimet were also repeat first-team selections. Martin, a junior
midfielder, led Amherst with 52 goals on the year while senior
attacker Abby Ouimet ranked third in the league with 2.44 assists
per game.
