OBERLIN, Ohio - Oberlin College field hockey will bring the 2016 slate to a close with two home matches over the coming weekend as they host Senior Day and an Autism Awareness game.
On Saturday, the Yeowomen will entertain the Fighting Scots from the College of Wooster and pre-game they will celebrate the careers of their seven senior members.
Before the start of the match,
Ariana Enzerink,
Maureen Coffey,
Aditi Banerjee,
Emma Hahn,
Maggie Gossiaux,
Julia Birenbaum and
Jennifer Krakower will be recognized for their impact on the program over their careers.
"The amount of leadership our seven seniors have shown is phenomenal and we are excited to see them succeed in their next chapter," said head coach
Tiffany Saunders. "I am grateful to have had such a supportive and contributing group, while building our new foundation. OCFH holds a special place in their heart and that is evident in their team involvement. The memories we have with them will always be here when they come back. We love and appreciate all of our seniors and can't thank them enough for all they've have done."
Saturday's bout also marks the final North Coast Athletic Conference match of the season as the Yeowomen seek redemption for the 5-4, overtime loss Wooster handed to them back on October 1.
The Crimson and Gold will make a quick turn around and host Concordia University Wisconsin in the 2016 finale. The Yeowomen will host an Autism Awareness game to help raise awareness of the disorder. Oberlin College will wear their white tops with white socks with multi-colored puzzle piece on them, that have become synonymous with autism awareness ribbons.
The Yeowomen's North Coast Athletic Conference finale against the Fighting Scots is slated to begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday morning.
Sunday's bout with the Concordia Falcons is set for 1 p.m.
