SPRINGFIELD, Mass., - Dec. 1, 2004 - Springfield College senior field hockey captains
Lindsey Pardue and
Kim Stevens were named to the STX/National Field Hockey Association (NFHCA) All-America First Team, announced today. The pair led the Pride to a No. 9 final national ranking, the team’s first New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) title in four years, and a bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament.
Stevens, a native of
Knox, Maine, was named the NEWMAC Player of the Year and a first-team all-conference selection this fall. A second-team All-American in 2003, she also garnered first-team All-New England honors for the past two seasons.

Pardue, from
Houston, Texas, joined Stevens on the All-NEWMAC and All-New England First Teams this fall. The conference leader in save percentage (.892, 4th nationally), goals against average (0.94, 10th nationally), and winning percentage (.864, 9th nationally), she was credited with 10 shutouts, including five-straight entering the postseason. Pardue was credited with a season-high 25 saves versus eventual national-runner up Middlebury (9/14).
Stevens and Pardue joined junior midfielders
Meg Bascetta (Granby, Conn.) and
