 Tri-captain Jen Brockway will anchor the Bears defense this season.
The Bears, who have won just one New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) game over the past four seasons, were 2-14 overall last year and 0-9 in conference action.
Coast Guard must replace All-conference selection Katie Kurek, who led the team with 10 goals last season and finished with 26 goals, third all-time at the Academy.
Junior Shannah Shelton (1 goal, 5 assists), who led the team with five assists last season, will be joined by talented freshman Rachel Deschene and junior Brittany Fifer, who made ten starts last season, at the forward spots. Freshman Cierra Collins and junior Angela Ingram, who took a year off, will also battle for time at forward. |

 Jen Ferreira and Jeffrey, who she helped deliver in Haiti.
She was aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Tahoma, with a crew of about 100, when they arrived in the harbor off Port-au-Prince two days after the earthquake struck and they discovered several injured people and no medical care available. The crew created a makeshift clinic near the Coast Guard base and stabilized severely injured Haitians so they could be taken to the American ship for better treatment.
“We gathered members from the crew with any medical training to go and help”, Ferreira wrote in an email. Jen had taken an EMT course in high school which allowed her to be able to contribute a great deal in the crisis as hundreds of people were injured and dying at the clinic. Many members of the Tahoma had CPR and basic first aid training. Most crew members who went over had no more than CPR and basic first aid, but they were still able to provide vital care. |
