goals from four different players and goalies Martha Dennerly (Concord,

to stop four shots as the Panthers defeated the University of Southern Maine

championship being hosted at Keene State College.
The victory vaults the Panthers into Sunday's championship game against
the top-seeded Keene State Owls who knocked off the upset-minded University of
Massachusetts Dartmouth Corsairs, 1-0, in overtime. Plymouth State is now 7-10
on the season. Southern Maine dropped its sixth straight game to fall to 10-10.

team-leading eighth goal of the season.

GORHAM, Maine -- The Bates College Bobcats scored twice in the first
half, then made the lead stand up to defeat the University of Southern Maine
Huskies, 2-1, in a college field hockey match Tuesday afternoon at Paula Hodgdon

early lead scoring her team-leading ninth goal of the season, unassisted, just
2:44 into the contest.

the game winner with 16:01 left in the half when she knocked in a pass from
junior Nicole St. Jean (Kensington, N.H./Exeter Area HS). The goal was set up
by the swift counter attack of sophomore forward Leslie Moser (Adamant,
Vt./Union HS District 32) up the right side.

when senior Alison Drury (Canton, Maine/Dirigo HS) deflected senior Kim
Cochrane's (Biddeford, Maine/Biddeford HS) long hit from outside the circle up
past Bates goalkeeper Peggy Ficks (Washington, Conn./Taft School) for her team-
leading 14th goal of the season.
Both teams had some good offensive pressure, but few good scoring
opportunities in the second half. Ficks and USM sophomore Andrea Guerette
(Fairfield, Maine/Lawrence HS) each made key saves on the few good shots each
team had to keep the game at 2-1. Ficks finished the game with eight saves
while Guerette was credited with 10 stops.

GORHAM, Maine -- The nationally-ranked Bentley College Falcons made a
pair of first half goals stand up for a 2-1 victory over the University of
Southern Maine Huskies in a college field hockey game Sunday afternoon at Paula

saves.

Cochrane, Drury, LePage Named Field Hockey Captains
USM Opens 1999 Preseason Camp
GORHAM, Maine -- Seniors Kim Cochrane (Biddeford, Maine/Biddeford H.S.),
Alison Drury (Canton, Maine/Dirigo H.S.) and Kerry LePage (Greene, Maine/Leavitt
H.S.) have been named tri-captains for the 1999 University of Southern Maine
field hockey team. Second-year head coach Bonny Brown-Denico made the
announcement as the Huskies opened their preseason training camp Tuesday morning
(August 24).
The Huskies embark upon their 20-game regular season in 11 days when they
host the Second Annual Paula Hodgdon Invitational Field Hockey Tournament on
September 4-5 at the Gorham campus. The opening day's games match the
University of Massachusetts Lowell against Babson College at 1:00 p.m., followed
by Salve Regina University playing USM at 3:00 p.m. The two winners will battle
for the championship the next day at 1:00 p.m. The third place game precedes
the title tilt at 11:00 a.m.
This is the second straight year that Cochrane and Drury have served as
tri-captains. Both were All-Little East Conference last season. This is the
first season that LePage has served as a captain. All are beginning their
fourth season with the field hockey program.
"Our captains will provide us with some outstanding senior leadership.
Alison is a player who leads by example and is an excellent role model. She
gives 110 percent on the field and always wants what is best for the team. Kim
is a great motivator and an excellent communicator with the coaches and her
teammates. She is also one of our strongest defensive players. Kerry is a
quiet leader who gets the job done and has a good touch around the goal," said
Brown-Denico who begins her second season after guiding the Huskies to a 9-12
mark last season.
Drury, a forward, was the team's leading scorer last season with eight
goals and six assists for 22 points. She had three game winnings goals. She
has 20 goals and 12 assists for 52 points in her three-year career. Her 52
career points ranks ninth on the Huskies' all-time scoring list.
Cochrane netted a career-high two goals and three assists for seven points
last season from her center midfield/back position. She led the team with seven
defensive saves.
LePage had four goals and one assist in 1998 while playing both midfield
and forward. She has scored eight goals and three assists during her career.
