Anchored by an experienced defensive
unit, which is now complemented by a
large crop of enthusiastic and talented underclassmen, the 2006
field hockey team is looking forward to a very successful season.
The defensive unit will return senior
captains Heather Shafi and Katie Meyers, as well as junior defensemen
Emily Dillon and Sarah Graves.
Co-captains Jen Chu '07 and Colleen
Farrell '08 will also continue to dominate in midfield alongside
senior Abby Scattergood '07. Scattergood's power and field-sense
will also be utilized on the forward line where she will be joined
by returning impact players that include juniors Sarah Walker,
Katie Norton, and Zoe Lloyd.
With such a large
number of strong players returning, the level of play should continue
to increase as key reserves such as junior Meeran Ahn and sophomore
Julia Mcguire compete for crucial minutes on the field.
The Fords enter
2006 with high hopes for another productive season. Haverford
has all the key ingredients that will provide stiff competition
in an increasingly challenging Centennial Conference.
