2019 Women's Field Hockey Preview
2019 Tigers Field Hockey this year are determined for winning, they were runners-up this last season, losing to Winthrop in the Northern Maine Regional Championship. Some may say that they have the coaching, and players to do just that. Coach Veazie stepping down this past year has brought some doubts on to how good these next few seasons will be. Coach Veazie was a huge impact on the team guiding the Tigers to 6 Class C State Championships. She has left the torch for her daughters Brittany McAilister and Kristy Staples to run the show. If her daughters are anything like there mom was as a coach, then the team is in good hands. “We are very hopeful for another successful field hockey season.” Coach Staples said.
The Tigers have some returning players that are now seniors like Regan McNally who decided to play again this year. She will be key in the backfield with her great hand-eye coordination and strength. Their other senior, Shawnee McNally, a 4 year goalkeeper who will help defend the Tigers in their victories over big offensive teams.
In addition, they have some big role players, like junior mid #32 Cheyenne Beem. The Tigers also added a key junior to their roster this year, by the name of Avery Herrick, a very talented soccer player, hoping to take her talents to the field hockey field. Coach Staples states “We have some key returning players such as Tina Lawson, Lilah McCormack, Kassandra gray, Kaitlyn Gray. Makayla Bignell will also start this year and was a great sub for them last year as she can just about play every position.” They also have a transfer #22 Lexy Dow from Nokomis who’s a very talented left wing. The Tigers don't have many underclassmen, so they aren’t very young and have a lot of leadership. The underclassmen do have some talent though, for example, mid Rayna Barnard a talented sophomore returning and improving nicely. They also have other sophomores such as Mya Roettger, Kiana Bennet, Jennifer Young, Molly Bennet. They don’t have many freshman either, Elisa Picariello, Lauren Brunner, and Brooklyn Braiser.
