STANDISH, ME -Head Coach Rupert
Lewis has announced the 2008 Saint Joseph's Field
Hockey team awards. In all, six players were recognized for their
efforts during the ‘08 campaign in which the Lady Monks
posted a program-best 15 wins.
Kimberly Glynn ‘10
(Danvers, MA) has been named as the 2008 Most Valuable Player.
Glynn, who shared the team MVP last season,
anchored an SJC defense that allowed a NAC-low 1.15 goals per game
and led the conference in defensive saves with 14, which stands as
a single-season record at St. Joe's.
Ashley Walukevich ‘12
(Kingston, NH) has received Most Improved Player honors. Despite
playing in only six games in 2008, the freshman defender showed
continual improvement throughout the season and will be looked upon
to contribute next season.
Sarah Bartell ‘12 (Exeter,
NH) and Amanda Sebastiao
‘12 (Uxbridge, MA) are the 2008 Co-Rookies of the Year. Both
players received North Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Week
accolades twice during the year. Bartell notched
four goals and six assists to total 14 points while
Sebastiao netted four goals for eight points in
‘08.
Gina Gaetani ‘09 (Auburn,
ME) and Kayla Nowell ‘11
(Bridgton, ME) share the 2008 Coaches Award after posting
individual efforts that helped propel the Lady Monks into the upper
echelon of the conference. The pair combined to net 33 goals and 85
points in '08 and both players collected NAC First-Team All
Conference honors following the season. Both players exhibited a
rare work ethic and the ability to elevate the play of those around
them last season.
