Dickinson College had four players earn All-Centennial Conference field hockey recognition as announced by Executive Director Steve Ulrich on Tuesday.

Sophomore forward Caroline Gouin (Frederick, Md) earned first-team honors, finishing third in the CC in goals per game with nine this season. She also added three assists to lead the Devils in scoring with 21 points on the year.  Gouin tied a school record, recording a goal or assist in five consecutive games early this season.

Marissa Giorgio (Rehersburg, Pa/Tulpehocken) was voted as the  second-team selection in goal.  The junior netminder posted a career-high six shutouts, making her the school's career record-holder with 16.  Giorgio made 118 saves and allowed just 1.15 goals per game this season.

Earning honorable mention recognition were forward Katie Bean (Jaffrey, NH/Conant) and midfielder Kendra Shirley (Gilford, NH).  Bean makes her second appearance as an All-CC selection, earning first-team honors last season.  She was a key element in the Red Devils' transition game, scoring four goals and assisting on five others.

Shirley returned from a year abroad and proved to be a valuable assett to the Dickinson midfield.  She scored five goals, including three game-winners, and had three assists this season.  Shirley highlighted her senior season by netting the game-winner against Gettysburg and assisting on the game-winner against Johns Hopkins all in the same week.

The Red Devils posted their best record since 1994, finishing 10-7 on the year and 4-5 in the CC.  The team set a new school record scoring 35 goals on the year, eclipsing the old mark of 32 set in 1992.  The defense also had an outstanding year in front of Giorgio with seven shutouts while allowing just over 1.5 goals per game.

(Carlisle, Pa) – Despite a 17-6 advantage in shots and a 13-2 edge in corners, Dickinson could not get by Franklin & Marshall, dropping a 1-0 decision in Centennial Conference field hockey action Tuesday.

Marissa Giorgio (Rehersburg, Pa/Tulpehocken) made five saves on the afternoon as did F&M’s Jenny Linder.

Dickinson will now await a possible bid to the ECAC Mid-Atlantic Region Tournament.
