Shamrocks
Rack Up College Commitments
February 27th, 2010
Wilmington, MA -- The Boston Shamrocks finished up their season
just a couple weeks ago with their trip to Washington, D.C.
to compete in the Challenge Cup Tournament.
With the end of the season also
came several college commitments, as players were choosing
among several options. Goaltender Nia Kelly (Clayton, NC)
was one of the most consistent performers all season long
for the Shamrocks. She routinely faced 40+ shots per game
and had a save percentage over 90% despite the high volume
and quality of shots. After sorting through several college
offers, Nia has committed to UMass-Boston to play for the
Beacons. Coach Sarah Feldman says, “Nia will be an excellent
addition to the UMass-Boston team, and I expect her to have
a lot of success at the next level. Her work ethic and off
ice demeanor will be a positive addition to the team, and
her talent will add depth and quality to the goaltending contingent.”
Defenseman Paige Murray (Andover,
MA) also ended her college search, settling on Connecticut
College for next season. Paige will play both field hockey
and ice hockey at Conn, and will be an impact player in both
sports. Coach Cherie Hendrickson says, “Paige’s
strength and speed will be a great asset for her in college
next year, and I expect her to emerge as one of Connecticut
College’s top defenseman.”
