Coach Terry Leiblein announced that she would not return to the squad next fall; she would be on maternity leave. Two championship trophies out of three was a very nice going-away present. The varsity's successful defense of its MCAC cham- pionship and its winning the coaches' tournament trophy was aided by the return of several experienced lettermen: Elaine Chelli. Peggy Cowherd. Cindy Gar- boski. Cheryl Edwards, Joanne Givas. Sue Heitz, Pat McBriarty. Karen Scott, Trish Bornheimer. Debbie Deutsch, Janet Sorber, Tracy Smith. Veronica Gudewicz and Theresa Haremza. Included in that group were last season's second- ranking varsity scorer and top-ranking jayvee scorer. 78—FIELD HOCKEY

Where boys sports failed this fall, the girls succeeded. And the first of their teams to bring home a cham- pionship trophy was Field Hockey. Added to their motivation, no doubt, was the fact that they were defen- ding champs. They thus became one of the few varsity teams in the school's history to repeat as title winners. In winning the conference honors again. Field Hockey compiled an overall record of 1 2-2-1 and a conference mark of 5-0-1. The tie was 3-3 split with Sayreville, a team they would meet twice more during the campaign. Over the years, one of the few teams to have gained an edge over East Brunswick has been Sayreville in this sport. Last year, though they lost to the Bears in regular season, they edged EB in the finals of county coaches' tournament, 3-3 on time. In a nip-and-tuck fracas this year, the Bears got revenge, winning the tournament with a 3-2 victory over the Bombers, on Peggy Cowherd's second-half goal. But Sayreville bounced back in the third and final meeting in the second round of the state tournament and spoiled East Brunswick's bid for a triple crown. Final score was 1-1. with Sayreville winning as they had done in the coaches' tournament of a year ago—on time. FIELD HOCKEY—77

She did not let up this season and was honored as this year's best offensive player. An ap- propriate tribute to an athlete who scored all five goals in a state tournament game against Madison. Named best defensive player was Cindy Garboski and Ellen Chelli was cited as the most improved. Jayvees, coached by Gail Petricek. ran up three con- secutive victories before the rains came and changed their luck. After two contests were called off because of the inclement weather, the jayvees were unable to regain their winning stride. They tied Madison and Highland Park, lost to Westfield, and then tied Manville for a season mark of three wins, one loss, and three ties. FIELD HOCKEY—79
