Kristin Tormollan has been named Northeast-10 Conference
Goalkeeper of the Year.RINDGE, N.H. (October 31, 2008) –
Freshman goalkeeper Kristin
Tormollan (Waterville, Maine/Waterville) of the Franklin
Pierce University field hockey team has been named Northeast-10
Conference Goalkeeper of the Year, as announced Friday by the
conference office. Tormollan was also selected to the
All-Northeast-10 First Team and the conference’s All-Rookie
Team. In addition, freshman forward Danielle Dolan (West Brookfield, Mass./Quaboag
Regional) has been named to the Northeast-10 All-Rookie
Team. The duo led the Ravens to a 7-13 record (7-11 NE-10) and the
school’s first appearance in the Northeast-10 Conference
Championships since 2001.
Tormollan played all but 5:35 in front of the Franklin Pierce cage
this season and posted a 7-13 record. Her 126 saves ranked fourth
in the Northeast-10, while she also finished sixth in goals against
average (2.13) and seventh in save percentage (.746). Twice on the
season, Tormollan posted double-digit saves in a game, including 10
saves against C.W. Post in her first collegiate game and a
season-high 12 saves in a 1-0 loss to Saint Michael’s in the
final week of the season. Tormollan also notched two shutouts
during her freshman campaign: the first a four-save effort against
Merrimack on Sept. 6 and the latter a seven-save affair on Oct. 16
against American International. In addition, Tormollan set Franklin
Pierce single-season records among goalkeepers for minutes played
(1414), games played (20) and games started (20).
Dolan finished the season as the leading rookie scorer for
Franklin Pierce with 10 points and also finished in a three-way tie
for the team lead with five goals. Dolan’s five goals
finished second in the Northeast-10, behind only Amanda McLean of
American International (six goals), in freshman goal-scoring. Dolan
scored the first goal of her career in her second collegiate game,
as she netted the lone Franklin Pierce goal in a 2-1 loss at
Southern Connecticut State on Sept. 2. Later in the season, she
would record her first multiple-goal game when she scored twice,
including the game-winner, to lead the Ravens to a 4-3 win at home
over SCSU on Sept. 30.
