The Chelmsford field hockey team received a special treat last Monday when USA Field Hockey Women’s National Team member Claire Danahy visited her alma mater to coach the program up for a day. Field hockey college commits like senior captains Kate Schneider (Babson), Kendal Cusack (VCU) and Nadia Michienzi (Union) are athletic and skilled. She agrees that multi-sport athletes provide a tremendous boost, which the field hockey team benefits from as a favorite to reach the Div. The other side of the coin is recent perennial powers like Uxbridge and Monomoy, which don’t field many multi-sport players. They get to face some of the best field hockey players in the country, and they’re better for it.
