Bloomsburg State College DEBBIE LONG · FIELD HOCKEY 1980 Outlook The loss of seven players from last year's squad gives head coach Jan Hutchinson some big gaps to fill. The success-of this year's field hockey team will depend largely on the streng'th of the incoming freshmen. Hutchinson, in her third season at the helm, doesn't really know what to expect. "We show a great deal of promise, but only time will tell; we ' re awfully young and I just don't know what will happen." Returning from last year's 5-4-4 team is senior co-captain Lauren May at an inner position along with junior halfback Joan Mahoney and sophomores Diane Imboden at a wing spot, halfback Jeanne Fetch, and fullback Sharon Rush. Moving up from the junior varsity team that posted a 6-1-2 mark is junior inner Jane Reed and sophomore wing Jane Seislove. Sophomore Robin Elsner in her first season with the team will add strength at the wing position. Debbie Long, a halfback from Brandywine Heights High School, a perennial PIAA state tournament entrant, leads a wealth of talented freshmen. Linda Turnbull, a forward from New Jersey powerhouse, West Essex High School, fullback Karen Nilson and inner Polly Dougherty will also bolster the Huskies attack. In the goal will be one of three freshmen; Laurie Snyder, Diane Sutjak, or Kerry Arnold. The Huskies will be aiming for their fifth consecutive winning season in just the seventh year of field hockey at Bloomsburg State. The sport began at BSC in 1974 and since has compiled a very respectable 35-19-14 record. The squad opens its season at the tough Trenton State College tournament followed by a challenging 13 game schedule which will hopefully prepare them to qualify for regional and national competition. Coach Hutchinson 'conducts' the halftime talk. Players To Watch '1!!11 <..,,.. ~/·. v - ~ "
