Senior captain Chelsey Feole was the lone Boston College player chosen to compete in the 2009 National Field Hockey Coaches Association Division I Senior All-Star game that was held last weekend. The game which showcases the best senior field hockey players in the country was played in Winston-Salem, N.C. on the campus of Wake Forest University.
This year's Senior All-Star game included four separate 25 minute playing sessions. The sessions that were played were the Division I Senior All-Stars (Home) vs. Division I Senior All-Stars (Away). Then the Division I Senior All-Stars (Home) played against the U.S. Women's National Team. Next, the Division I Senior All-Stars (Away) went up against the U.S. Women's National Team. Lastly, the Division I Senior All-Stars (Home) played the Division I Senior All-Stars (Away) one last time.
Feole played in three of the four sessions, and scored three goals. The first session was when she played against the other senior all-star team and they tied 1-1. Feole scored the lone goal for her team in the game. The second session her team went up against the U.S. National Team, and they lost 3-0. The last session she played in was against the other senior all-stars again, and her team won 2-0. Feole scored both goals to help lead her team to the win.
Plaques were presented at the end of the game to mark each individual's participation. Feole's team was coached by the Drexel coaching staff which included head coach Denise Zelenak, and associate head coach Nicky Hitchens.
"Playing in the All-Star game was really fun, and a great experience," Feole said. "Everyone was pretty laid back but at the same time, the competitive spirit was obviously there the entire time. It was really cool because my teammates, and opponents, were girls I heard about all year. All those girls are really great players so there's such an immense feeling of respect that I had towards all of them."
The three goals by Feole in the Senior All-Star game was a fitting end to her collegiate career. She finished her career as an Eagle in second-place on the Boston College career goals list with 56.
