TS: When did you start to become the player you are today?

SB: No

TS: Is this your favorite sport to play?

TS: Is there a particular Beaver alum that you play similar to you?
SB: Molly Swain.

TS: Who has been the most influential coach, player, or parent during field hockey career?
SB: My freshman year coach Jen. She coached my freshman and sophomore year at Beaver for field hockey and lacrosse. She was probably the best coach I ever had.

TS: Do you see this sport in your future in any way?
SB: I might play in college as a walk on. I am not good enough to get recruited but I am definitely going to try and play because I like playing field hockey.

TS: Do you have any goals, as captain, for the field hockey team this year?
SB: Yes, I want to have a 70% winning record, so winning a little more than half. We have playing well so far, so hopefully this happens.

Some tough upcoming games include matches against Newton Country Day and Dana Hall. The Varsity Field Hockey team definitely has their work cut out for them. With help from a passionate team captain and midfielder, Beeny Brown, we hope that the team achieves greatness.

Girls Varsity Lacrosse Team Secures First Win in Three Seasons

SABRINA BROWN ‘09

With the season coming to an end, the Girls Varsity Lacrosse team pulled off their first victory of the season with a win against Berwick Academy on Wednesday the 7th. With goals from Sabrina Fiori ‘08, Maddy Kiefer ‘08, Laura Bulkeley ‘08, and Sabrina Brown ‘09, the team put Berwick to shame, ending the game with a score of 8-5. One of Beaver’s key players in this game was senior Lindsey Yudkoff, who stepped in as goalie. Originally a starting defender, Lindsey volunteered to play goalie when no one else offered, and she has improved immensely since she began playing just a few weeks ago. Although this past Wednesday was only Lindsey’s second game in goal, she excelled in the position and led the team to victory, letting in only four goals and saving eight. With help from new coaches Kristen Chiusano and Sarah Anderson, the team was able to win their first in-league game in three years. The team hopes this is an indication that the program is developing and that the new coaches will lead the team to even more wins in the coming years.
