SCHALL NAMED NESCAC FIELD HOCKEY CO-PLAYER OF THE WEEK
 

LEWISTON, Maine -- Junior forward Amanda Schall of Chevy Chase, Md., has been named Field Hockey Co-Player of the Week by the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC).

Schall scored two goals and had an assist in Bates' 2-0 week. She had the game-winning goal with under two minutes to play in a 4-3 win over New England College on Oct. 20. Schall also assisted the Bobcats' first goal in that game. In the Bobcats' 1-0 win over in-state rival Colby College on Oct. 25, Schall notched the game-winner with 6:47 remaining, winning a battle for the ball in front of the White Mules' goal.

Schall leads the team with eight goals and four assists for 20 points. All of her goals have come in the last five games, of which Bates has won four. Schall has scored at least once in each game, beginning with an overtime goal against Maine Farmington on Oct. 8. Against Elms College on Oct. 13, Schall scored a career-high four goals in a 6-0 win. She also scored the team's only goal in a 2-1 loss to Connecticut College.

The Bobcats have a chance to clinch the Colby-Bates-Bowdoin (CBB) Conference title with a win over Bowdoin Nov. 1.

"Amanda's play has been inspired over the last five games," head coach Stacey Watts said. "Hopefully she and the rest of the team can continue to play well to earn a postseason berth."

Schall is a 1995 graduate of the Madeira School.
