SENIOR DAY:

Prior to the game, the AMCATS recognized their graduating senior class as part of senior day. Forwards Brittney Cherry (Worcester, MA) and Allyson Shaw (Worcester, MA) and midfielders Abigayle Celata (Baldwinville, MA) and Chayna Bingham-Hendricks (Mashpee, MA) have each made outstanding contributions to not only the Anna Maria field hockey program but to the entire campus community as a whole. Although their time on the playing field may be coming to an end, they will forever be a part of the AMCAT family.
