2008 Nantucket Whalers Field Hockey.

2008 Nantucket Whalers Field Hockey.

The entire Whalers Field Hockey team are this week's Nantucket Nectars Student-Athletes of the week for their dedication on and off the field.

Coach Lori Moran has been impressed with her squad all season and describes her team as, "17 girls working towards one goal, taking on any role it was to benefit the team. [The team was led] by seniors that began preparing for their season in July when over a dozen members of the team went to a team camp and continued twice a week throughout the summer in pick up games, practicing into the night without a whisper of a complaint even when Sundays also became part of their practice week." The Field Hockey team made it to the second round of the playoffs and ended with one of the best records in school history.
