HADLEY, Mass. -- The Bates College field hockey team had two of its players named to the All-Conference team by the New England Small College Athletic Conference on Wednesday, as sophomore goalkeeper Katie McEnroe and senior forward Rachel Greenwood were honored.

McEnroe (Hockessin, Del./Wilmington Friends) had the distinction of being named the lone goalie on the All-NESCAC First Team, while Greenwood was named to the Second Team. It is the first all-conference honor for both players.

McEnroe led the conference in saves per game by a wide margin, with 9.50 per game, 3.37 more than any other netminder in the conference. She also ranked seventh in the NESCAC in save percentage at .764. McEnroe started 14 games for the Bobcats and allowed 3.04 goals per game while making 136 saves with one shutout. She is Bates' first goalie to be named all-conference since Peggy Ficks '01 in 2000.

Greenwood (Williamstown, Mass./St. Mark's School), a team co-captain for the 6-9 Bobcats and perhaps the team's fieriest leader, scored 7 goals with 2 assists on the year, ranking second on the team in points behind Sema Kazarian (Providence, R.I.). Greenwood scored the game-winning goal against Colby in overtime in the Bobcats' regular-season finale, earning the team its first berth in the NESCAC Championship since 2005.

It marks the first time since 2002, when Johie Farrar '03 and Kathrene Tiffany '03 earned the honor, that Bates has placed two players on the NESCAC All-Conference Team.
