Field hockey pair named All-Region
Senior Tarah Trottier and junior Kristy Reed were named to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association West All-Region team.
“I am really excited for our program as well as for Kristy and Tarah because they really deserved the award,” said coach Cristy Freese. “They are being evaluated by other coaches in our region and we are pretty excited that those coaches recognize their talent.”
The two forwards also were All-MAC selections.
Trottier led CMU’s offense with 16 goals, four assists and 36 points. She ranks third in the CMU record books in goals and points in a season.
“This caps off a great individual year for Tarah, and she took on the responsibility of a forward, which is scoring goals,” Freese said. “I am happy for Tarah because she is an example of how patience and hard work can pay off.”
Reed was named to the All-MAC team for the second consecutive year after accumulating 12 goals, six assists and 30 points. She finished the season fourth in the MAC in goals and points, and lead the conference in shots with 106.
“It was naturally the next step in her individual goals,” Freese said. “It is good she is getting recognition outside the conference, and it is great that she reached another goal, but she is not done yet.”
The two forwards were the best combination CMU has ever had. The duo scored 28 goals this season, beating the 1997 duo of Brianne Tallinger and Kari Labeta, who scored 26 goals.
