Regan Bestick
Varsity goalie Regan Bestick (1) says the key to
returning to the state final was the work in the
offseason. She emphasises the importance of
running and weight training to stay healthy and
compete once again for a state final appearance.
The Charger’s potential history making 4 time
regional championship run is more then possible
in her eyes because of the loss of only one starter
and the remaining chemistry from last year’s
successful team.
Ella Newman 1 2
Senior center forward Ella Newman (2) attributes
her success to the teachings of former Chancellor
standout Emma Bernard. Taking after Bernard’s
legacy, Newman finding the back of the cage is
not out of the ordinary. After a very successful
junior season Newman hopes to lead the Char-

her freshman year, she gained a strong feel for

perfectly to fill the defensive position left by the

Allison Berkes
Coming to the Chancellor field hockey team
two years ago, Allison Berkes did something not
many choose to do: become a goalie. Modeling
her work ethic and her play style after varsity
goalies Regan Bestick and Leslie Perez Figueroa,
Berkes has been an influential member to the re-
cent success of the JV field hockey team. Her hard
work in the off season by running and maintain-
ing her nutrition is one component of the dedica-
tion to this team that she sees all around.
Leslie Perez Figueroa
Starting field hockey later than others, as a soph- 8
omore, now senior Leslie Perez Figueroa (9) took
the team by storm. As one of the key parts of the
team, the goalie, Leslie has led from the back of
this experienced and talented team. Putting in
the effort at all times and always finishing runs
is something that Perez Figueroa takes as one
of the biggest personal accomplishments from
field hockey. Her favorite game to play in season
is district rival Eastern View whose skill level is
always one of the top after Chancellor has met
them in the state final in previous years.

Kaylin Ozuna only regrets one thing, and it is not playing field hockey soon enough. The talented ju-

on this Chancellor team. Before every game Ozuna listens to Taylor Swift and the team’s bus playlist

Maddie Hardwick
Maddie Hardwick (10)came to the Chancellor
program never having touched a field hockey
stick and thrived from there. The junior defender
says she always looks up to her older teammates
for advice and with questions while on and off
the field. Although she does play a defensive
position, her favorite part of field hockey is scor-
ing goals. Her consistent training with the team
and on off days is a key part to the success of the
Chargers in past years, and will hopefully follow
into this season as well. The heart, dedication,
and attitude of this Chancellor team is one way 10 11

Taylor Dwyer
Junior defender Taylor Dwyer (12) has high hopes
going into this season. In past years James Mon-
roe has been one of the toughest competitions
faced. This year Dwyer believes that chancellor
will beat James Monroe. Because of the off sea-

of the team, she sees lots of success ahead. Dw-
