Bloomsburg University Field Hockey 1991 1991 SEASON OUTLOOK The output of new performers on the attack line will be a major factor in determining the Huskies' success in 1991. Three of four players who helped account for the second-highest scoring total in school history are gone forcing 14th-year head coach Jan Hutchinson to revamp the club's offense and depend heavily upon a defense that appears very strong. Last season, enroute to a 23-1 mark that included a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) championship and an NCAA Division II runnerup showing, the Huskies scored 85 goals while limiting the opposition to only nine. In addition, Bloomsburg outshot its opponents 787-149 while tying a school record for regular-season victories with 18 and establishing a mark for consecutive wins in a season with 23 by winning every game with the exception of the national championship contest The nation's Broderick Award winner as the sport's top performer in Division III, senior Gisela Smith, along with All-PSAC and all-regional selection junior Denise Miller, as well as second team All-American Trudy Horst, give the squad leaders in all areas of the field. Smith was the Huskies' defensive standout at her centerback position, Horst was the leader in the midfield, and Miller was one of two players to surpass the old single-season individual scoring record finishing as the second-leading scorer. While Miller should be the center of attention at the offensive end, Smith should have plenty of experienced support. The Huskies may rely on Miller, who scored 22 goals and assisted on five others last year, to carry the scoring burden while newcomers become accustomed to play on the front line. Junior Taryn Pastier and sophomore Gretchen Adams have both shown the ability to score goals although they have only seen limited playing time. Pastier had four goals and three assists, and Adams scored once and assisted on another last season. A strong recruiting class possessing a lot of speed and talent could mean several freshmen will see much playing time and, therefore, need time to develop. Freshmen Bridget Bates, Chris Fink, Michelle Mcfalls and Christine Perry should all get an ample amount of action in the early going. Horst and an All-PSAC choice, junior Anita Stum, join Smith on the midfield and back lines. Horst, along with senior Beth Bowman, provides the club with a pair of solid links in the middle of the field, while Smith is joined by junior Donna Abbott in front of the · Bloomsburg net where Stum will return as the Huskies' goalie. Stum had a solid year stopping 66 opponent shots registering 14 and onehalf shutouts with a goals against average of just 0.38 per game. Newcomers Lori Hippensteel and Rachel Trinidad will be the top contenders to back up- Stum. Junior Heath~ Lawall, junior Amy Frey, and sophomore Nicole Schiavello got'some ~xperience at the link positions last year and they, along with first-yea:i--pefformer Shelly Miller, provide more depth in the midfield and good speed for the transition game. The Huskies have played in the conference and national tournaments in each of the last 10 years winning five PSAC crowns and four national titles so a high standard has been established. The young team must gel early to equal the performances that have kept the Huskies among the nation's top units for several years. HEAD COACH JAN HUTCHINSON Jan Hutchinson is entering her 14th season in charge of a program that has won four national titles and five conference championships in the past ten seasons. While at Bloomsburg, her teams have posted winning records in each of her 13 previous seasons and have built an overall record of 217-3516 for a winning percentage of .809. Under Hutchinson, the Huskies have enjoyed several outstanding seasons and have won 16 or more games on 10 occasions. Her teams won national championships in 1981, 1983, 1984 and 1987 and have also registered four national runnerup finishes including last season. In addition, the Huskies captured Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) championships in 1983, 1984, 1987, 1988 and 1990 and have garnered three runnerup showings. A pair of athletes won All-American honors last season bringing the total under Hutchinson to 13 performers who have combined to win 23 All-American awards. Hutchinson also serves as head coach for the Huskies• highly successful softball program which also lost in last season's national championship game, marking the second time in her career that both clubs appeared in the final game in the same academic year. In 198182, she had the rare distinction of leading two teams to national titles in the same year as the field hockey team won the AIAW Division III crown and the softball team duplicated the feat in the spring. Her softball team has appeared in the national tournament in each of the last 12 years and won eight-consecutive PSAC titles from 1983-1990. Individually, her players have enjoyed much recognition in softball as well with many winning conference and regional honors and 15 players earning 26 All-American awards. HUSKIES' ASSISTANT COACHES I Sharon O'Keefe is in her 10th season as an assistant coach with the field hockey program in addition to serving as the Huskies' head lacrosse coach. She joined the physical education staff in 1982 and is a 1980 graduate of Trenton State College where she was a member of the Lions' 1977 national championship field hockey unit. The lacrosse program has made progressive improvement under O'Keefe's direction and last season won its first PSAC championship and played in the ECAC Division II title game. Former Huskies' two-sport standout Alicia Terrizzi will serve as an assistant coach for tJ1e second time this season. The 1989 Bloomsburg graduate performed for the field hockey team for four years earning all-conference honors in 1988 and was named to the All-American team in 1988. She scored 19 goals and assisted on 12 others for the club. As a member of the lacrosse team, she was an integral part of the Huskies' defense which helped the club reach the PSAC playoffs in each of her years on the team. She was an all-conference lacrosse selection in 1989. ROSTER OF THE 1991 HUSKIES No. Name Class Pos. 2 Michelle Mcfalls Fr. AIL 4 Nicole Schiavello So.
