WEST HARTFORD/WILLIMANTIC, CT — A senior field hockey player at Eastern Connecticut State University from West Hartford, once again, made the all-conference team.

ECSU field hockey player Liz LaMarco of West Hartford, a 2021 Conard High School graduate, made the second team in the Little East Conference.

The ECSU Warriors (7-11, 2-4 LEC) more than doubled their overall win total and doubled their Little East Conference win total, qualifying for the LEC playoffs for the eighth time in the last 10 years.

In a seven-team conference, Eastern earned the No. 4 seed after finishing in a three-way tie for fourth place.

LaMarco, meanwhile, repeated as a second-teamer as one of four midfielders on this year’s second team.

The four-year player, who appeared in all possible 74 matches with 72 starts in her career, was also one of the team leaders in minutes.

She contributed three assists – one coming in each of the team’s first two matches and the biggest one coming in the regular-season finale – a 1-0 overtime home victory over Plymouth State University.

In addition to finishing in a tie for fourth in career matches, LaMarco concluded her career ranked among the all-time Top 10 in starts, goals, assists, and points.

Said ECSU head field hockey coach Christine Hutchison: “Liz was a constant presence on the field her entire four years, playing several different positions and playing them all very well. She set the tone and pace for a game and had a huge impact with her offensive abilities and excellent stick skills.”
