 MaryClaire McGovern '08
| |
In front of an enthused Family Homecoming Weekend crowd on Oct. 13, MaryClaire McGovern '08 scored her first collegiate goal to lead the field hockey team en route to its first New England Small College Athletic Conference victory against Amherst. With 21:10 left in the first half, McGovern slammed a shot past the Lord Jeffs goalkeeper to get the sole tally of the game. The shot came from an unassisted play that began off of a Mule penalty corner. McGovern's goal shut out Amherst to improve the Mules' record to 1-6 in the conference and 3-8 overall. Through her leadership on and off of the field, McGovern has earned the respect from both her teammates and coaches. Coach Amy Bernatchez describes McGovern as "a workhorse and positive role model for the team." Her hard work has certainly paid off because the Mule victory allows Colby to remain in the running for a NESCAC playoff bid this season.
