FARMINGTON – Forward Kristy Veazie, midfielder Mary Sinclair, and back Mary Berry of the University of Maine at Farmington’s field hockey squad have been named to the All-New England Team by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association. Veazie, the Beavers’ top scorer with 16 goals and 40 points, lead the NAC with 2.35 points per game, and averaged 0.94 goals per game. Sinclair netted eight goals, and Berry directed a defense that allowed only 27 goals in 17 games-just seven in seven games against league opponents.

It is believed to be the first time in school history that three players have been named to the All-New England team in the same year.
