A significant contributor to the Dartmouth women’s hockey team’s success all season, forward Kelly Foley ’12 has helped carry the team on and off the ice. Foley assisted the Big Green in beating Clarkson University on Sunday, reaching the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament semifinals and improving Dartmouth’s status as a serious contender for an NCAA tournament bid.

After a lower-leg injury derailed the second half of her sophomore season, Foley came back this year healthy and determined. She has played in all of the team’s 31 games this season, which has resulted in her producing impressive statistics.

“[Foley] has done a great job this season and her confidence has grown,” head coach Mark Hudak said. “She has always had the skills and I think she can be even better than how she’s playing right now, which is already at a high level.”
