by Cathy Schulze takes a shot on goal in a game against Penn State. The Lions handed the Wolverines their first Big Ten loss of the season. fter coming off a record-breaking season last year, the women ' s field hockey team returned to Ann Arbor this fall ready to make a fresh start. The Wolverines concentrated on each game in order to stay focused throughout the season. Junior Ashley Reichenbach commented, There are a lot of expectations for this season. Naturally we want to build on the foundation of last year, but we have stressed one thing this year; stay in the present. This is a new team, new season, and we have to take every game step by step in order to reach our goal of defending the Big Ten Championship. What made the Wolverines stand out this season was the closeness of the players both on and off the field. Junior goal keeper Kati Oakes said, One thing that makes our team so strong this year is that we ' re all good friends. I feel that I can come to anyone on the team about anything. That kind of camaraderie makes teams stronger. A pre-season trip to Australia allowed for the women to prepare for the season, while cementing friendship at the same time. We have eight freshman this year and they are all contributing a lot already. The team is very close, said senior Lindsay Babbitt. I think our pre-season trip helped us gel as a team before season, which is an advantage over other teams. This season was exceptional for Kati Oakes, junior goal keeper, who was named Big Ten Conference Defensive Player of the Week on September 1 5th. She was the first Wolverine in school history to earn the honor in consecutive weeks. One of her most impressive performances this season came against Stanford (September 13th) when she made several outstanding saves in the second half to preserve the 4-0 shut out. Not only did the Wolverines benefit from experienced leaders on the field this season, the coaching staff ranked one of the best in the nation. Head coach for the Wolverines was two-time Olympian Marcia Pankratz, as well as assistant coaches Tracey Fuchs, also two-time Olympian, and Peggy Storrar. Junior Erica Widder commented, I think we are clicking on the field and able to make great plays. With every game we play, we are improving and learning more and more. Having Olympic coaches also helps; they know everything there is to know about the game of field hockey. It is because of them and the 23 girls who give 100% everyday on the team that we are able to succeed. riiiing the Closeness of players adds to a successful season and a shot at defending the Big Ten Championship 146 Field Hockey
