Field Hockey: 2006 Season Roundup
On a team that had only four returning starters, Captains Amanda Roberts, Ingrid Oelschlager and Kerry Bracco led the way with their consistent leadership, athleticism and respect for their teammates. There were big and memorable games each helping the team prove something to themselves – Deerfield, where they learned to finish off a victory; Brewster, where they found their unity with three players injured; Hotchkiss, where they proved they could play against the defending New England Champs on Astroturf and play well; Thayer, under the lights on a Friday night in a driving rain storm. Leading the way on offense were Lauren Greer, Kelly Comolli and Kaitlyn Wahl. In the midfield were Oelshlager, Bracco and Elara Mosquera. The defense was led by Roberts, Jessie West, Julia Ryan, Al Mehan and Ali Comolli tending goal. Other impressive contributors include Alexis Gage who has battled back from an ACL tear, Catey Bayse and Flo Dethy. On the rise are newcomers Alex Bergonia, Kelly Comolli, Annie Mitchell and Sarah Sawtelle. Special recognition should go out to Allie Arnal, who played both goalie and offense.
