Veazie, Sinclair, Berry
Earn All-Region Field Hockey Honors from NFHCA
Forward
Kristy Veazie (Dexter, ME), midfielder Mary Sinclair (New
Sharon, ME) and back Mary Berry (Norridgewock, ME) have been
named to the All-New England (East) team by the National Field Hockey
Coaches Association (NFHCA) for their performances this fall. Veazie
earned First Team honors, while Sinclair and Berry were named to the
second team.
Veazie, the Beavers’ leading scorer, had 40 points (16g, 8a), led the
conference in points per game (2.35) and was second in goals/game
(0.94). Sinclair (8g, 3a – 19 pts.) was second on the team in goals and
points and among the top ten in the conference.
Berry scored two goals
and added an assist this season for five points and, more importantly,
directed a defensive effort that allowed 27 goals in 17 games – and just
seven in seven league contests.
It
is believed to be the first time in program history that three UMF
players were named to the All-Region team in the same season.
