Dawsey Named to NEWMAC All-Conference Field Hockey Team

WORCESTER, MASS. 11/11/08 - Senior Kathryn Dawsey represented Clark University on the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) field hockey All-Star second team. Clark also won the NEWMAC Sportsmanship award for the second time.

Originally from Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Dawsey emerged as one of the conferences top goalies and was one of Clark's most consistent performers this season. In the NEWMAC, she topped the field in individual saves (11.83) and saves per game (11.83) and finished third in save percentage (.845), to go along with a top-six ranking in goals against average (1.91). Dawsey led the conference in overall statistics in saves (10.13) and save percentage (.822), and tied for fourth in shutouts (4). She recorded nine double-digit save performances this year, including a season-high 22 saves - one stop shy of her career high - against Springfield. Dawsey's prowess in the cage helped keep Clark in games against some of the toughest offensive teams in the region. This is her first appearance on the All-NEWMAC squad.

Clark ended the 2008 campaign with a 5-11 campaign.
