LANCASTER, Pa. – Three players from a Haverford College field hockey team which dropped an overtime decision in the conference tournament semifinals Saturday have been voted onto the 2011 Centennial Conference Team as released by the league office Monday afternoon.
Junior midfielder Bridget Gibbons and senior defender Roxanne Jaffe were named to the first team while junior Mary Hobbs was voted a second-team selection.
Gibbons, one of three players garnering unanimous selection to the first team, registered a career-high six assists this season to go along with five goals. Her 16 points was fourth-most on the team and she led the Fords in 2011 with a pair of defensive saves.
Jaffe, a three-time first-team honoree, scored a career-best seven goals during the season and added five assists for a total of 19 points, third-most for the Fords. One of Jaffe's two game-winning goals this fall came in Haverford's 2-1 regular season come-from-behind victory at Washington College in the second-to-last game in the regular season.
Hobbs led the Fords in 2011 with a career-best 21 goals, second-best in the conference. She also contributed eight assists (first in the Centennial) for a total of 50 points which, too, was second-highest in the league. Hobbs tallied the game-winner in the 3-2 opening round win of the 2011 playoffs where she scored with 57 seconds remaining to complete a Haverford come-back from a 2-0 deficit against visiting Washington.
On the Haverford career lists, Hobbs sits atop the leader boards in total points (130), goals (50), game-winning goals (8) and assists (30). Jaffe is the program's all-time leader in successful penalty strokes with eight and her 75 game starts is also a program best.
Both Gibbons and Hobbs earned recognition on the conference's 2011 fall sports academic honor roll.
