National champions add five freshmen

After winning both the Ivy League Championship and the NCAA Championship with a nearly perfect record, the field hockey team (21-1 overall, 7-0 Ivy League last season) has high hopes for the 2013 season and its incoming freshman class. The five freshmen that will join the field hockey team this year — Cat Caro, Ellen Dobrijevic, Annabeth Donovan, Andrea Jenkins and Hailey Reeves — come ready for the challenge. As members of the United States National Team, the Junior Women’s National Indoor Team, the Junior Olympics team, the New South Wales All-Schools Team, the Canada-USA Series and the Disney tournaments and showcases, the rookies know what competitive field hockey looks like. “They have a high level of self-discipline, I would say, across the class,” head coach Kristen Holmes-Winn said.

Even having lost Mark Linnville ’13, a superstar center back who graduated with four first-team all-Ivy selections, and two-time first-team all-league selection Matt Sanner ’13, the men’s soccer team has fixed its sights on an Ivy League championship in 2013 and, with the addition of a promising class of freshmen, the squad looks to return to the NCAA Tournament after a two-year absence. Head coach Jim Barlow welcomes seven freshmen to the program: one goalkeeper, two defenders and four midfielders. “Everyone we recruit is a person who we think has the ability to make an impact and compete for a spot right away,” Barlow said. Each freshman is accomplished at the high school and club level.
