Indoor Play

Since NCAA’s the Stevens Fhoc team hadn’t seen as much of each other or gotten a chance to play together. It’s was a long wait until spring season, so a group of us joined an indoor field hockey league. Saturday mornings 10 of us pile into Erin Langan's minivan and Casey Scherck’s car to make the 30 minute journey to Morristown, NJ. There we meet up with Rebecca, a Montclair player that we have accepted into our family. While we are there, we play one game of 2 20 minute halves with a 5 minute half time.

Our team has been playing really well. We won 3 of our 4 games so far. We won the first game 9-0 and resorted to switching positions to keep from making an even larger scoring differential. The next game we dominated again, ending with a 7-0 score. Our first loss came against a really good team named "Sussex 2." We lost 0-4. The following week we made up for it by beating their sister team, "Sussex Plum," 6-0. The game vs. Sussex Plum was an exciting one. Sam W. scored on a stroke and Casey scored her first goal ever!!!!

The indoor games were a lot of fun. Stevens Fhoc really enjoyed getting to play together again especially with the special people who are joining us. As I am sure you all know Casey Scherck is one of our alumni. She’s a ridiculously great defender and it was awesome having her play with us again and give us pointers. It was also a really fun experience to get to play with Rebecca because she brought new ideas to the field... and we got to tease her about beating Montclair this past fall. Another player we played with was Karen Federico, who is returning to our team this spring after dealing with shin problems. I only had a chance to play with her for a few weeks my freshman year before she became injured and it was a lot of fun playing with her again.

The Indoor Team Members are: Ellyn Griggs, Lauren Griggs, Mary Baldeon, Meghan Broderick, Erin Langan, Christina Sedberry, Sam Weisman, Rebecca Dobiesz, Casey Scherck, Karen Frederico, and myself, Mallory Swanson... SEE YOU IN THE SPRING!
