Field Hockey : Cougars' dream season could end with field hockey title

Asheville High field hockey coach Lauren Kaye’s phone and e-mail get plenty of incoming activity these days. Former players inundate Kaye with questions about the team’s progress and well wishes. Every curious party wants to know more about the Cougars’ best season in 19 years.

Asheville (22-2) goes for its first field hockey state championship today when Western North Carolina’s only public school program faces Chapel Hill. The match begins at noon at Wake Forest University’s Kentner Stadium.

“Of course, this is every coach’s dream,” Kaye said. “Just to see where this program has come from and hearing from all the past players has been special. Every time we step on the field, our players are taking on every challenge I give them.”

Collectively, the Cougars have a school-record 89 goals and 69 assists for the season. Four Asheville players have scored 10 or more goals: Elizabeth Keil (19), Elizabeth Gaston (12), Catherine Looper (11) and Caity Heath (10). Assist leaders include Kelly Olesiuk (14), Mallory Silver (13), Gaston (13) and Heath (12).

“No one at school really thought much about field hockey before, but since we’ve started winning, everybody is really excited,” Silver said. “We’re having a lot of fun. It’s just been an unbelievable season, and our team has such great chemistry.”

In today’s 16th game of the season, we face RJ Reynolds. Our record is 14-1.

WOW! Saturday’s game was a thriller with both Asheville and E. Chapel Hill held scoreless in regulation play. Mallory Silver converted a pass from Rachel Nash to win the game 1-0. A great game had a superior ending. Hats off to the entire team for their wonderful efforts!

The next home game will be Tuesday, October 9 against Mount Tabor, the only team we have not played this season. Please note that Tuesday, October 16 will be Senior Night. Bring your hankies as we watch this fine group of Seniors play their last regular season home game.
