Eva Rosencrans ’17, Field Hockey
In the field hockey team’s first three games, Eva Rosencrans has amassed six total points. Having scored three goals and assisted on three others, Rosencrans has been the centerpiece of the Hamilton offense. Rosencrans ranks second on Hamilton’s all-time list for both goals and points, with 40 and 88, respectively. This Saturday, the Continentals begin a critical stretch in which they play three consecutive NESCAC home games over the course of a nine-day period. In these all-important games, Rosencrans’ success will be imperative in order to secure victories.
Emily Dumont ’18, Women’s Soccer
Although Emily Dumont started only three games in net for the Continentals last year, she has already started in the first two game of 2016. In those two games, in which the Continentals went 1-1 against NESCAC opponents Williams and Bates, Dumont made 13 total saves, including a career-high seven saves against Williams. Dumont yielded just four goals on the 17 total shots on net, good enough for a 0.765 save percentage. If Dumont can maintain her strong performance in goal, the Continentals will be very competitive in the NESCAC.
Erin Donahue ’18, Volleyball
Over the weekend, the Hamilton Volleyball team competed in the 2016 University of Rochester Volleyball Invitational. While the team finished 1-2 in the tournament, Erin Donahue was one of ten players selected to the all-tournament team. Donahue finished the tournament ranked eight, with 2.50 kills per set. Donahue also recorded 16 kills, along with 11 digs, in the team’s first match against Morrisville State. Donahue, an outside hitter, is a crucial component of both the Contientals’ offense and defense and looks to continue her success as the team enters conference play.
