Darien's Sophie Doering Makes College All-Conference Field Hockey Team

DARIEN, Conn. -- Trinity College field hockey junior defender and Darien resident Sophie Doering was named to the 2013 New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) All-Conference First Team.

Doering tied for the team lead in goals with four and added two assists for 10 points (2nd on team) while starting all 15 games on the Trinity back line.

A two-year starter in Trinity’s defensive backfield, Doering had one defensive save in 2012 and tied for the team lead with two this fall. Doering is a two-team member of the National Field Hockey Coaches Association All-Academic Squad.

Trinity finished the 2013 season with an 8-7 overall record and qualified for the NESCAC Championship Tournament for the ninth time and the sixth year in a row with a 5-5 league mark. The No. 6-seeded Bantams lost to Bowdoin, 6-1, in the NESCAC quarterfinals.

An English literature major at Trinity, she is the daughter of Amy and Peter Doering.
