Local Woman Makes Mark on Keene Field Hockey Team

Details: Category: News; Published: 26 October 2011

KEENE, N.H. 10/26/11 – If you’re looking for a reason why the Keene State field hockey team won the Little East regular season championship this season and earned home field advantage for the upcoming Conference tournament, you need look no farther than in front of the Owls’ net.

While Keene State has always had a reputation for being able to put the ball in the net, this season it’s also done a great job keeping it out as well. Led by senior sweeper Kerry Howe, the Owls have allowed just three goals in 10 conference contests heading into Saturday’s final LEC game at Framingham State.

While some might shy away from the position, Howe relishes her role as one of the last lines of defense in the Owls’ backfield. “It can be stressful at times, but I love it,” she said.

A midfielder at Henry Hudson Regional High School in Highlands, N.J., Howe was moved to the backfield after suffering a series of knee injuries that forced her to miss her senior season and lingered into her sophomore year at Keene State. A healthy Howe was the perfect medicine for the Owls’ defense. “Kerry has improved every season and is on top of her game this year,” said KSC Coach Amy Watson. “She’s a field leader who has embraced her position as sweeper and is the rock of our defense.”
