Field Hockey Sends 8 To U.S. National Teams

Carey Fetting-Smith and Katy Tran were named to the U-19 team, while Stephanie Fuller, Kelsey Keeran, Meredith Keller, Abby Martin, Katy Potter and Abbey Woolley were named to the U-23 team.

Thirteen members of the U-19 squad, including both Fetting-Smith and Tran, played together as members of the 2001 U-18 team. Coached by Cheryl Murtagh, the team is scheduled to compete in the California Cup in May and the Montreal Cup in June.

Fuller, Keeran, Keller, Martin and Woolley are among 14 members of the U-23 team who played together on the U-21 team last year.

Coached by Tess Ellis, the squad will represent the U.S. at the Pan America Hockey Federation Indoor Championship in March in Rockville, Md., playing for a berth in the FIH Indoor World Cup in 2003 in Germany.

Fetting-Smith, Keeran, Potter and Tran will be sophomores on the UNC squad next fall, while Fuller and Keller will be seniors. Martin and Woolley both finished their collegiate careers with the 2001 season.
