HARTFORD, Conn. – Sophomore forward Char Glessner was named the 2001 NESCAC Field Hockey Player of the Year.

Senior back Molly Venter of NESCAC champion Williams earned first-team recognition for the third consecutive year. A four-year starter, she was the backbone of the team which had two other first-team selections. Sophomore midfielder Molly Jennings shut down opponents’ top players and was joined on the first team by sophomore forward Tori Scott, who shared the team scoring lead.
Sophomore goalkeeper Gillian McDonald of Bowdoin received first-team recognition for the second time in as many years after recording seven shutouts. Other repeat first-team selections were sophomore forward Emily Huffman of Connecticut College and senior midfielder Mairin Brady of Amherst. Huffman, the 2000 NESCAC Rookie of the Year, scored 10 goals this season. Brady was a two-year captain who led the Jeffs to the conference title game.
Senior midfielder Allison Scaduto and senior back Heather Nicholson of Bowdoin each received first-team honors. Scaduto, a regional All-American last year, led the Polar Bears in assists, while Nicholson was the team’s top defender this season.
Rounding out the first-team honorees were junior forward Abby Ouimet of Amherst and senior back Marcia Ingraham of Colby. Ouimet scored 11 goals and assisted on four others in the regular season. Ingraham scored eight goals and made 10 defensive saves.
First-year forward Marissa O’Neil of Bowdoin was named the 2001 NESCAC Rookie of the Year after leading the team with nine goals and 21 points. Alix Rorke was named 2001 NESCAC Coach of the Year for leading Williams to the conference title.
