2003-2004 Season Summary: Varsity Field Hockey

Having graduated eight seniors after one of its most successful seasons in recent memory, the varsity field hockey team was considered "young and developing" at the start of the 2003 campaign. Despite this prediction, the girls surprised both themselves and their opponents with an impressive 12-3 record.

Early season highlights included an exciting victory over Miss Porter's in sudden-win overtime and close victoriesover Westminster, Berkshire, Williston and Pomfret. A tough overtime loss to Taft did not stop the girl'sdetermination for long. They came back decisively by shutting out their last three opponents: Westover, Canterbury, and finally, Loomis. On a typically brisk and windy Loomis Day, the girls showed true grit and determination. Loomis Day scorers included Jordan Pyers '05, co-captain and this year's MVP, Harriet Hoyer '04, and Amanda Johnson '05.

Kent field hockey graduates several exceptional players this year. Ali Garland was an outstanding captain and talented forward. Nominated to the All-Star team for two consecutive years, Harriet Hoyer elevated her level of play in every game. Christa Miller-Shelley, who received both Athlete of the Week and the Captain's Award recognition, was a versatile and smart player. Sophie McNally and Corinne DeLitto were both integral members of the defensive team.
