Freshman continues to collect postseason accolades

RINDGE, N.H. (November 26, 2008) – Freshman goalkeeper Kristin Tormollan (Waterville, Maine/Waterville) of the Franklin Pierce University field hockey team has been named to the womensfieldhockey.com All-Rookie Squad, as announced Tuesday by the website.

Tormollan helped lead 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. Earlier this fall, Tormollan was named Northeast-10 Conference Goalkeeper of the Year and was also selected to the All-Northeast-10 First Team and the Northeast-10 All-Rookie Team.

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 fifth in goals against average (2.13) and sixth 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).
