UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State's Schreyer Honors College is certainly preparing students for successful careers after graduation. But the Honors College is also a big draw for girls looking to come and play field hockey while receiving a top-notch education.
There are a lot of smart girls on Coach Charlene Morett-Curtiss' field hockey squad. After all, the team did take home a prestigious academic distinction a year ago.
"Let's not forget that our team won the women's highest GPA last spring," said Morett-Curtiss.
That is out of all field hockey programs in the country.
Three girls on this year's team are currently in the Schreyer Honors College at Penn State, including Kirsten Gochnauer, Lisa Winters and Coleen Conway.
