Rounce Named Division II Field Hockey Coach of the Year

Womensfieldhockey.com Postseason Awards

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – After the biggest one year turnaround in program history, second year head coach Anne Rounce was named the Division II Field Hockey Coach of the Year by womensfieldhockey.com.

Rounce's National Coach of the Year honor is the first for a Merrimack coach since women's soccer coach Gabe Mejail won the National Collegiate Coach of the Year in 1986.

After five wins in her first year, Rounce led the Warriors to 13 wins this fall, including 8-1 at home, en route to the school’s first ever field hockey postseason win over Adelphi in the quarterfinals.

Rounce also engineered the nation’s fourth-ranked offense (3.03 goals per game) with three forwards scoring over 30 points on the year. Her defense also notched 15 defensive saves on the year, good for second in the Conference.

With her first full class of recruits, Rounce brought in eventual Conference Rookie of the Year April Daugherty (Lincoln, RI), Second Team All-Conference Jen Otis (Penacook, NH), stingy midfielder Katie Zubkus (Dover, NH) and the league’s top goaltender in terms of saves (196), Kerri Bergquist (Mashpee, MA).

For her Division II-leading 16 assists and single-season program record 40 points this fall, Daugherty was named the Division II Rookie of the Year. She was also named to the All-American Second Team.

Classmate Otis was also among 16 on the Division II All-Rookie Team as a result of 36 points and team-best five game-winners on the season.

In just their first year, Daugherty and Otis stormed the career record books at Merrimack as the third and fourth on the all-time points list, respectively. Kristen Belair ’07 is the current program leader at 99 points on 40 goals and 19 assists, while senior Jaclyn Germano (Westwood, MA) finished her career this fall second all-time with 60 points.
