On The Way Up Irish field hockey continued its climb to higher status as second-year coach Jill Lindenfeld guided the team to a winning year. The Notre Dame women ' s field hockey team continued its drive to be a successful Division I power in 1985, finishing the season with a 12-8-2 rec- ord. Having completed her second season, Coach Jill Lindenfeld is pleased with her team ' s performance and looks ahead to another successful year in 1986. Highlights of the 1985 season in- cluded victories over Michigan, Lake Forest, Wooster, and Franklin and Marshall. The Irish earned third place honors in the Midwest Regional Tournament in Carbondale, Illinois, with wins over Eastern Kentucky and Southwest Missouri State. Scoring leaders for the Irish were junior Corinne DiGiacomo with seven- teen goals and six assists, senior Mel- issa Sommer with eleven goals and three assists, and senior Molly McCabe with four goals and ten as- sists. Senior goalie Patti Gallagher provided the Irish with crucial net play, recording 225 saves; a seventy percent improvement over last season. As for Notre Dame records, Di- Giacomo boosted her career goal mark to 53, just three short of Clare Henry ' s (1980-83) school record of 56. McCabe added to her own career assist mark and now has a total of 25. DiGiacomo is close behind McCabe with sixteen career assists. McCabe also set the record for assists in a season with ten. The Irish lose nine seniors to graduation this season, including scor- ing powers Sommer and McCabe and co-captains Mary Rose Rodgers and Christina Weinmann. On the defen- sive end, the Irish lose three-year starter Gallagher in goal. Lindenfeld is hopeful that next season will prove to be another suc- cessful campaign for her stickwomen as six monogram winners return, in- cluding offensive power DiGiacomo. Mary Jean Beetel is expected to re- place Gallagher as goalie. If the field hockey program continues to grow as rapidly as it is, the 1986 season looks to be even more promising.
