The 2006 GMC Women’s Field Hockey Team will incorporate 18 returning players and a talented, 10-member recruiting class in what promises to be a big improvement entering Head Coach Greer’s fourth season. With a combined intelligence, strength and speed necessary to dominate the playing field, Greer looks to guide the Griffins to the conference playoffs.

This season is the continuation of the squad’s rebuilding process. The new players will bring a fresh outlook and much enthusiasm to Gwynedd-Mercy’s proud athletic tradition. Coupled with the veterans, including two seasoned goalies, this excellent mix will be ready for a successful season.

Greer plans to continue molding her talented team into PAC playoff contenders for years to come while attempting to reclaim the PAC Championship Gwynedd-Mercy won in 1999.
By emphasizing fundamentals and individual skills, Greer will further strengthen team concept and take full advantage of the group’s collective speed and determination in this exciting new season.

“My goal for this year is to become the team to be reckoned with in the PAC, while always playing hard between the lines, until the final whistle blows and having some fun doing it, as well,” says Wesner.

An additional honor was bestowed upon her team for the 2004-05 academic year, by being recognized by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) for their combined 3.41 GPA, which was fifth in the entire nation.

The experienced returning members, Greer adds, will be excellent role models for the first-year players.
