Field hockey clinches second CAA title

Five years after grabbing the program's first conference championship, the Hens earned another title with two stellar performances last weekend, beating out James Madison University and Drexel University in two close, high-pressure matches.

It's been pretty obvious the Hens have a great offensive front this year, but last weekend it was the Hens defense that shone. Noelle Diana had her best-ever showing, making twelve saves against the Dragons. The Hens were
outshot 22-4, but still walked away victorious.

It should be no surprise that four of the Hens received all-tournament honors. Diana, Casey Howard (who also was named tournament MVP,) Kimmy Schlezes, and Rae Everson were all named to the team.

The Hens will find out tomorrow evening who their first NCAA opponent will be.
