2005 Field Hockey All-Conference Teams Announced
Bowdoin's King Crowned
as Player of the Year
HADLEY, Mass. - Bowdoin junior
midfielder Taryn King (Georgetown, Mass.) has been named the 2005
NESCAC Player of the Year. King has helped her Polar Bear squad
over the 2005 season to arguably their best campaign in school
history, posting a 16-0 record along with capturing the 2005 NESCAC
title. King, who is currently tied for second on the Bowdoin roster
in points with seven goals and seven assists, is the third Polar
Bear to receive Player of the Year accolades since 1999.
King, the NESCAC Rookie of the Year
in 2003, was also a unanimous choice among the coaches for NESCAC
All-Conference First Team honors, and it was the third year in a
row that she has received All-NESCAC recognition after earning
First Team honors in 2004 and Second Team recognition in 2003.
Joining King on a defense-laden First Team are senior defender
Margaret Gormley (Chestnut Hill, Mass.) and sophomore goalkeeper
Kate Leonard (Eliot, Maine), a First Team member a year ago.
Both Middlebury and Williams also
had strong showings on the NESCAC All-Conference First Team, as
each squad had three players receive recognition. Middlebury senior
defender Janie Mackey (St. Louis, Mo.) earned First Team honors for
a second-straight year, and she was joined by classmate Allison
Smith (Darien, Conn.). Sophomore Reid Berrien (Westport, Conn.) was
the third Panther to receive All-NESCAC First Team honors, as she
currently leads the NESCAC in goals scored (15) and points (33).
For Williams, senior defender Emily Grannon (New Canaan, Conn.)
came away with NESCAC All-Conference First Team honors for the
third consecutive year, having earned Second Team recognition
during her rookie season in 2002. Along with Grannon on the 2005
NESCAC All-Conference First Team are fellow senior defender Jaye
Gregory (Greenwich, Conn.) and freshman forward Meighan McGowan
(Greenwich, Conn.), who also took home NESCAC Rookie of the Year
honors.
Rounding out the 11-member
All-Conference First Team were junior midfielder Courtney Tetrault
(Hatfield, Mass.) of Wesleyan and junior forward Katie Williams
(Selinsgrove, Pa.) from Connecticut College. Tetrault accumulated
eight assists in 2005, tops among her Cardinals teammates, and
finished second in points at Wesleyan this season with 20. Williams
played in all 15 games for the Camels this year, collecting nine
goals and three assists for 21 points.
Bowdoin head coach Nicky Pearson
was the choice among the coaches for NESCAC Coach of the Year,
after guiding the Polar Bears to their current 16-0 mark and second
NESCAC Field Hockey crown. It is the fourth time that Pearson has
received the honor, after having it bestowed upon her in 2000,
2002, and 2003.
