NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Four players were recognized with team awards at the Yale field hockey team's annual post-season banquet last month.
The
Amanda Walton Award that Cabral earned is given by the Yale players and coaching staff to that team member who demonstrates the ability to confront challenges, displaying the courage to overcome them, while inspiring teammates with her work ethic and unselfish attitude. The award is named after
Amanda Walton '02, who has been an inspiration to the Bulldogs. After her sophomore year at Yale, Walton -- a field hockey and lacrosse player -- was involved in an automobile accident that put her career on hold. She overcame a coma and physical injuries with hard work and dedication.
Cabral overcame health issues to appear in 14 games this season, scoring a pair of goals. She has now appeared in 42 games for her career, including five starts.
A member of Pauli Murray College, Cabral is a graduate of La Reina High School and played for Moorpark and Cougars.
This is the eighth year Yale has given a Player of the Year Award, but it is based on an award that has been in place since 2007. The Player of the Year Award had been known as The Cup. It is awarded to the member of the team who has performed at the highest level for the season as a whole, determined by the coaching staff through game-to-game recognition as the Player of the Match.
The Player of the Year Award is one of many accolades Condie earned this year. She was a third team All-American and first team All-Mideast Region, her second straight season earning all-region honors. She led Yale in goals and points (11-6-28, with career highs in all categories) and has now finished among Yale's top two in goals and points each of the last three seasons.
Elected Yale's captain by her teammates, Condie capped a memorable career as part of a senior class that leaves with the most wins of any Yale class in five years (33). This is the second straight season she has earned a team award. Last year she shared the Coaches' Award.
A member of Pierson College, Condie is a graduate of Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School and played for AIM Field Hockey Club. She was a member of USA Field Hockey's U17 National Team in 2014-15.
The Senior Award that Summer received is awarded by the senior class to a first-year team member who reflects positive contribution to the team's philosophy and whose individual character encourages the future direction and excellence of Yale Field Hockey.
Summer saw action in two games this season and was always a supportive voice on the sideline. She finished the season with five saves on six shots (an .833 save percentage) in 60 minutes of action.
Summer is in Jonathan Edwards College at Yale. She is a graduate of John Burroughs High School and played for Gateway Field Hockey.
Terroso earned the Coaches' Award, given to the player who exemplifies principles, direction and persistence in pursuit of field hockey excellence at Yale. She just completed another terrific season, earning All-Ivy honors for the third time in her career. She posted a .739 save percentage (24th in the nation) while making 99 saves -- an average of 5.82 per game, 16th in the nation. Her season high in saves was 16 at Princeton.
In addition to multiple All-Ivy Honors (she was a first-team selection in her first year and a second-team selection this year and last year) Terroso has now earned three team awards. She earned the Senior Award and a share of the
Amanda Walton Award her first year.
A member of Davenport College, Terroso is a graduate of Dallastown Area and played for Yale field hockey alum
Anne Lehman Dillman '94 with Lanco Premier Field Hockey Club.
In addition to the award winners, the Bulldogs also recognized the senior class at the banquet: Condie, back
Holly Jackson (Glastonbury, England), back
Tara Litjens (Kingston, Pa.), back
Alex MacKay (North Vancouver, B.C.), forward
Camille Scheyer (Glencoe, Ill.) and forward
Annina Zelkin (Lorton, Va.).
Yale won five of its final six games this season, bouncing back nicely after six straight one-goal defeats midway through the year. The Bulldogs return 16 players for next season, including four who earned All-Ivy League honors.
