WELLESLEY, MA – Four Wellesley field hockey players were named today to the 2007 Longstreth/NFHCA Division III All-Region Team. The four nominations are the most for the Blue since the 2002 season.
Representing Wellesley in the New England East Region, Callie Lekas (Brewster, Mass.) and Katie Sang (Cupertino, Calif.) were named to the first team, and Katie Frett (Hallowell, Maine) and Emily Hewitt (Alexandria, Va.) were second-team selections. All four make their first appearance on an All-Region Team.

Frett, a first-year forward, was also named the 2007 NEWMAC Rookie of the Year. She scored seven goals in her first collegiate season, including the game-winner in overtime against WPI.
