CASTLETON — Following an impressive senior season, Castleton State senior field hockey player and Otter Valley Union High School graduate Kristy Pinkham was last week named the North Atlantic Conference Player of the Year.
Pinkham, a midfielder, was an offensive force throughout the 2014 season. She led the conference in the regular season in four major offensive categories including goals (12), points (26), and shots on goal (43). She also successfully converted two penalty stroke attempts. In conference play, the senior recorded six goals, tying for first in the conference.
Castleton’s season came to an end on Saturday in the NAC tournament, when the fourth-seeded Spartans lost at No. 1 seed Husson, 10-1. Pinkham scored CSC’s only goal in that setback, adding to her offensive output.
