Seeing as though Central Michigan University is located in
the heart of Michigan, you would think that you could safely assume that the
majority of the women’s field hockey team would be Michigan natives. Surprisingly
enough, however, that is not at all the case with this year’s team roster.
In fact, of the twenty-three members of the CMU women’s
field hockey team only two of the girls can call Michigan their home. The other
twenty-one members have hometowns which have brought them to Mount Pleasant
from not only across the country, but also from across the globe.
Originally from Wellington, New Zealand, sophomore Harriet
Aburn earns the title of the farthest traveled team member. However, Aburn is
not the only international team member. Junior, Maude Stalars is also an
international student originally from Rhode-Saint-Genese, Belgium. Other
members of the team originally from out of the state also call Pennsylvania,
Kentucky, Delaware, Illinois, Missouri, New York and Wisconsin home.
Such a diverse group of girls makes for a cultured team and a
varied set of experiences and skill levels. However, it is apparent from the
2015 CMU women’s field hockey team roster that no matter where you come from or
where you go, the game of field hockey remains the same.
