Meet our All-Scholastic field hockey team for the fall of 2017.
Elle Hansen will continue her lacrosse career, both at Cohasset High and Northwestern University. Her field hockey days probably ended this fall, but she went out on a high note, leading the Skippers to the Division 2 South final.
Hansen highlights our 16-player field hockey All-Scholastic team, which includes three stars each from Cohasset, Duxbury and Canton – the latter two teams were Div. 1 South semifinalists.
