Londonderry, n.h. — Two members each from the NHIAA Division III champion Mascoma Royals and D-II runner-up Hanover Marauders will suit up for the New Hampshire roster in next summer’s Twin State Field Hockey Classic.
Mascoma’s Bella Kondi and Katie Pushee will be joined by Hanover sisters Diana and Lois Schwarz on the Granite State roster. Their selections came after tryouts held on Sunday involving more than 70 senior field hockey standouts.
Kondi and Pushee both played key roles in the Royals’ recent run to D-III state honors, the school’s first such championship since 1983. Kondi marshalled a defense that surrendered just nine goals over a 16-1-0 campaign and produced 12 shutouts, including seven in a row to cap the season. Pushee was an important part of Mascoma’s 61-goal attack, working the midfield for four goals and a team-best 12 assists, a figure that ranked second in the region.
Mascoma won its last 12 games consecutively after a 4-0 loss to Hanover on Sept. 12 at Merriman-Branch Field. The Marauders reached the D-II final before dropping a 1-0 decision to Derryfield on Oct. 28.
The Schwarz siblings had a lot to say in Hanover’s run. Diana Schwarz led the Marauders and finished second in the Upper Valley in scoring, amassing 16 goals and 11 assists from her forward position. Lois Schwarz, who missed her sophomore season two years ago while recovering from knee surgery, provided significant linking work at midfield, adding fivegoals and four assists.
The Twin State Field Hockey Classic will be staged on June 21 at Saint Anselm College.
