Field Hockey Hosting Longwood on Senior Day Saturday
3/5/2021 4:17:00 PM | Field Hockey
Saturday's home field hockey game with Longwood — Davidson's third in a stretch of six straight played at Belk Turf Field — will also be Senior Day for six Wildcats.
The class of 2021 will be honored about 20 minutes prior to the 2 p.m. start. The program's seniors are Caitlyn Gund, Valerie Hajek, Corynne Hammit, McGee Roman, Nellie Turnage and Sydney McKenna.
Gund, Roman and Turnage earned their first starts as freshmen and have been mainstays ever since. Hajek has been a regular starter since transferring from Towson, and Hammit returned to the lineup this year after an injury kept her out in 2019. McKenna played three years for the Wildcats and is serving as a team manager this year.
"This group is an incredibly talented and dedicated group," said coach Zoe Almquist. "They have put in a tremendous amount of work and shown patience, dedication, resilience, and leadership in the face of great challenges. Usually, with a fall season, we say goodbye to our field hockey seniors in November, and in all the strangeness of the past year, it is a silver lining to have all of them still with us this spring. I feel lucky to get to see them every day and watch them play. I am looking forward to a fantastic finish to their collective careers."
The Wildcats are back in action after posting a 4-2 win over Appalachian State last weekend in which they scored three times in less than 11 minutes of the second period. Lena Stiebing scored a goal and assisted on two others and was named Atlantic 10 Player of the Week on Tuesday. Hammit added a goal and an assist, while Roman and Amy Worscheh had the other Wildcat goals.
