STANDISH, ME - SJC Field Hockey Head Coach Rupert Lewis has announced his award recipients for the 2007 season.

Sophomore defender Kimberly Glynn (Danvers, MA) and freshman goalkeeper Kathleen Simoes (Wakefield, MA) were named as the Co-Most Valuable Players for the record setting 14-7 squad. Both players played crucial roles for a St. Joe's defense that allowed a mere 1.1 goals per game last season. The rookie Simoes posted a 7-7 record, 3 shutouts, 1.34 goals against average and an .807 save percentage. Glynn was the backbone of the SJC defense all season and made several key defensive stops in the ECAC semifinal victory over Plymouth State.

Freshmen Alyssa Dunn (Standish, ME) and Maria Arsenault (Berlin, NH) share the 2007 Rookie of the Year Award. Dunn, a defender, used her strength and quickness to help keep opposing offenses at bay. She also scored a dramatic penalty shot goal in the eventual ECAC quarterfinal victory over Wheaton College. Arsenault, a midfielder, helped spark the St. Joe's offense in her first year with 5 goals and 4 assists for 14 total points.

Junior midfielder Gina Gaetani (Auburn, ME) has been named the 2007 Outstanding Team Member for her efforts on and off the field during the season. Gaetani, a tri-captain, tallied 4 goals and 6 assists for 14 total points for Coach Lewis between the lines, but offered an even greater contribution off the field with her fund-raising efforts and her willingness to provide assistance with all types of team duties.

Sophomore forward Julia Ostrowski (Albany, NY) has been honored with the 2007 Coach's Award. Ostrowski led St. Joe's with 20 points (6 goals, 8 assists) and always exhibits a great attitude and work ethic. After the completion of the '07 campaign she was named to the 2007 Longstreth/ NFHCA All-New England West Region Second Team.
