Hendrix field hockey is getting a lot of press these days!
Several of the girls are earning awards for their performances on and off the field.
Be sure and check out the full press releases at http://www.hendrix.edu/Athletics/default.aspx?id=22052
Alyssa Havens was honored with SCAC Defensive Player of the Week for the week of October 4-October 10. Havens has been great in goal all year long, racking up impressive saves, and extending the shut out count this year up to 3. She is currently second in the SCAC for total saves.
Heather Newell was also honored with SCAC Defensive Player of the week, this time for the week of October 11-October 17, after the game-winning goal against D-II Bellarmine. Newell also earned the SCAC Character and Community Athlete of the Week for the week ending October 10.
Abby Coleman was selected to be the SCAC Offensive Player of the Week for the week of October 11-October 17, after a stellar performance (including a hat trick!!) this past weekend in Kentucky.
All of the Warriors are playing well and looking strong, and are looking forward to carrying all of this positive momentum into Senior weekend with games at home against Sewanee and DePauw.
Go Warriors!

"Tall We Are Not"
This weekend was one of the most epic in my field hockey career!
We traveled to Louisville Kentucky to play both Trine University and Bellermine University. On our way down a lady asked us if we were a volley ball team. Later, when our captain Heather was told about this she laughed and said “Didn't she see how tall we were not, I mean how short we are?”. This would have seemed odd to us if we were not all ready used to her eccentric way of communicating. It is just one of the reasons why we love her. The hotel we stayed in was amazing. They had a huge hot breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, grits and pretty much anything you could want for breakfast. Their shampoo also smelled amazing (Coconut-Lime). This is the very first season that Trine has had a field hockey team and they played very well. I really admire them for starting their program and having the courage to play teams of all levels even when they don't have all 11 players! All of them were very nice and I know that their program will continue to grow and be successful. On Friday we played Trine and won 9-0. What was really funny about Friday was that we did not play until 8:30 at night. There was a soccer match going on before our game so we could not warm up on the field. We ended up doing our dynamic warm up in the parking lot by the dumpsters. We had to modify the warm up a little bit but we all had a good laugh about our circumstances. We had most of Saturday to ourselves to study and relax and Coach even arranged transportation to the movie theater or Barnes and Noble. We had an early dinner at this very fun family style restaurant called Bucca di Beppo. What made this weekend extra special though was the outcome of our game against Bellarmine (the number 9 ranked DII team in the country!). We knew it would be a tough game going into to the match but everyone stepped up their game and worked as a team to come out victorious 2-1! We even got to go to ColdStone Creamery for Ice Cream after the game which is a big deal for anyone who knows how Ellie feels about dessert.
Love,

DePauw & Sewanee
It was another tough weekend for Hendrix's Lady Warriors. The girls fought hard but lost both games to Sewanee and Depauw. The girls are fighting their way out of this losing slump and evidence of this was seen during the Depauw game. The Lady Warriors evenly matched Depauw, who according to Coach Ellie Karvoski is the team to beat in the league. The girls have the drive and skill to beat any team in their league, they just need to find the strength to come together and win.
The team has been plagued by injury. This weekend Jenn Koller was the victim of a Sewanee high stick. The poor girl had to get escorted off the field by an ambulance and had to get stitches. If you see her on campus, take a look at that eyebrow!
On a more positive note, freshman Lindsay Chott and Elizabeth Lancaster got a chance to shine this weekend. Elizabeth played solid in the midfield during the Depauw game and Lindsay went in as foward. Lindsay has great channeling skills when playing one v one defense and is always working to support the team on offense. Elizabeth has improved so much on ball reception. She cracked down balls that Depauw thought they would get through. Not happenin'!
It was a good weekend despite the losses to Sewanee and DePauw.
The Warriors are hard at work to prepare for a set of home games this weekend, and are ready to play under the lights this Friday night!
