Field Hockey Dreams Come True

Three tri-captains of the Staples High School Field Hockey team dreamed of playing field hockey on a college level someday and now their dreams have come true. At a news conference at Staples today, they announced their college selections and signed their letters of intent. Emily Ashken (l) is going to Michigan and will major in kinesiology (exercise science) and sports management); Callie Hiner (c) is going to Georgetown where she will major in international political economy, and Misha Strage is going to Colby in Maine where she will major in psychology (she wants to work with soldiers returning home afflicted with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome). All three players and their coach, Cecily Anderson, agreed that the highlight of this season was not only winning the FCIACs for the first time in 17 years, but defeating the Darien team to break Darien’s 93-game winning streak going back to 2007.
