The 1984 season was a de- manding one for the Lady Chiefs junior varsity field hockey team, but in the eyes of Coach Parrish, the players matured greatly. As the only central district team with a J.V. Field Hockey Squad, the team was forced to play a schedule composed entirely of tough private schools, but in spite of this, the team was able to forge a 5-5-4 season. Four of the losses came against the perennial field move it! Scrambling after Dall, the J.V. team display their ability to hustle. ower Play hockey powerhouse from St. Catherine’s. The girls were al- ways full of spirit and it was this quality that enabled them to enjoy their victories and to accept their losses with maturity. The backbone of the team, not surprisingly, was Miss Parrish. As the team’s coach, she commanded the respect of the players, while handling a warm and friendly relation- ship with the team. This at- mosphere allowed the team to grow while learning. The team was led in scoring by Cheryl Mason with six goals. This was followed by Laurie Accashion and Natalia Iwaschenko with two apiece. Indeed, this has been a good year for the junior varsity field hockey team and Mona- can’s winning tradition in this sport will, hopefully, be car- ried out by these young ladies next season. J.V.
