United States Coast Guard Academy - Department of Athletics

NEW LONDON, CONN.--(4/25/11)--Tournament Most Outstanding Player junior Hayley Feindel continued her outstanding season by doing one thing she had never done before. The All-American threw three straight shutouts in one day to register her 100th career win as top-seeded Coast Guard, ranked fourth nationally, came out of the losers’ bracket for the second straight season to win the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) softball tournament.

The third shutout was Feindel’s 25th of the season tying the NCAA Division III single-season record. Feindel now has 52 career shutouts and a career record of 100-18. She is 34-2 on the season tying her own single-season record of 34 wins set in 2009.

The Bears enjoyed a dip in the the Thames River to celebrate the 2011 NEWMAC Championship.

Feindel earned NEWMAC Most Outstanding Player honors as she pitched 33 innings in the tournament and didn’t allow an earned run, walked just one batter and struck out 59. In the three games on Monday, she fired a pair of two-hitters and a one-hitter and struck out 34 batters with no walks. Feindel is now second all-time in NCAA Division III history with 1,151 strikeouts, just 14 behind the all-time leader Jennifer Martinez from St. Joseph’s of Long Island, who had 1,165 strikeouts from 2006-2008.

(L-R) Justine Morrison, Elise Maher, Krysta Rohde, Tanya Cuprak, Jenn Proctor, and Kristen Holloway will compete at the National Championship.

Harpswell, ME--(4/23/11)--The 12th ranked Women’s Sailing Team finished 7th at the Reed Trophy for the New England Women’s Championship hosted by Bowdoin College this past weekend.

Their 7th place finish earned the team a berth to the ICSA Sperry Women’s National Championship Semi-Finals to be held in Cascade Locks, OR on May 23-24. This will be the Lady Bears’ first trip to the National Championship since at least 1997.

What turned out to be the only day of racing at the Reed Trophy started out with a strong Southerly with driving rain that turned to snow and sleet during parts of the day. Eight races per division were sailed in a strong current and shifty breeze that ranged from 8-20 knots.

Seniors Krysta Rohde and Tanya Cuprak and sophomore Justine Morrison got off to a strong start in A-Division and never looked back. In a very stacked division, they were in the top-7 in all races except one, keeping the team in a qualifying position for most of the day.
