University of Maine field hockey coach Terry Kix was smiling yesterday after announcing six National Letters of Intent from high schoolers who will join her program in the fall.
Kirsten Costa (Hartwich, Mass.) led all Massachusetts prepsters in scoring and will join the Black Bears as an attacker. The Boston Globe named Costa the Player of the Year in Division II and she also earned All-Scholastic honors.
Rebecca Giroux (Augusta, Maine) was a standout goalkeeper for nearby Cony High School. She was an All-State player as a senior and was a nominee for Miss Maine, which is awarded to the state’s best field hockey player. The Portland Press Herald named Giroux as a first team All-State player.
Kristin Healy (Turner, Maine) was a three-year All-Conference selection as an attacker for Leavitt Area High School. She was also a Miss Maine nominee and holds the school record for goals scored.
Joanna Klein (Monterey, Calif.) will come a long way to join the Black Bears’ midfield corps in 2003. As captain of York School, Klein was a first team All-League player in 2002.
Regina Legge (North Harwich, Mass.) will join Klein in the midfield and will bring a wealth of travel team experience with her. In addition to her time at Harwich High School, Legge participated in the Bay State Games, the Cape Cod Classic and the Futures Program.
Teig Choroszy (Saco, Maine) gives coach Kix another attacker to add to the mix. Playing for Thornton Academy, Choroszy was a SMAA All Star in both 2001 and 2002 and was also named to the SMAA All-Academic team.
