Windham competes against Salem in a field hockey scrimmage last Tursday by Chris White


After a successful inaugural season in 2009, the Windham field hockey program will step up to compete at the varsity level this fall. The Jaguars went undefeated playing junior varsity last year, and they return with a solid foundation in place for another successful season—this time, competing in Division 2. Loren Dow is back for her second season as the head coach of the program. She coached the junior


varsity team last year and will coach the varsity team in 2010. Together, the coach and her players are looking forward to facing the challenge of competing at the next level. “We’re very excited to see how we’ll stack up against other varsity programs,” Dow said. “Since this is our first season as a varsity program, we’ve been working on increasing our intensity on the field and the level that we play at.”

competition this season, Windham faced Salem in a scrimmage at Salem High School last Thursday, August 19. With Salem up 3-1, the Jags came back from a two-goal deficit and forced a 3- 3 tie that would stand as the final. Alexa Psareas and Lauren Rogers both provided goals for Windham, while goalie Meaghan Kelly had some key saves in the opening minutes. Jen Peet also played a strong game on the defensive end. This season, Windham returns a host of key contributors from last year’s team, including juniors Lindsey Wolfe, Hannah Peters, Ashley Adamson, Kayla Breton, and Sarah Vivinetto. Laura Viel, a junior who spent the 2009 season with Bishop Guertin, will also bolster the Windham offense as a new addition this year. The team also has a strong incoming freshmen class that includes Delaine Kneeland, and goalies Kelsey Federico and “Mooky” Hatem. All three have shown rapid progress in their development so far. The Jags’ goal this year is to qualify for the post-season. With that, the journey will begin on Thursday, September 2, when they take on Portsmouth on the road. Their first varsity home game will be on the following Tuesday versus Hollis- Brookline.
