With the Keene State field hockey team making waves in the Little East Conference this season, let’s take a look at one of the captains!

Ally McCall is making sure her final season as an Owl is one for the books.

The senior defensive player from Watertown, Massachusetts did not start off as an Owl, however. McCall transferred to Keene after a year at the University of Vermont, where she played for the field hockey team.

McCall’s sophomore year as an Owl saw her being named second team All-Conference. Starting in all 23 games that season, McCall ended the season with four goals and six assists.

Junior year McCall was named NFHCA Second-Team All-Region, Little East Defensive Player of the Year and Little East Tournament Most Outstanding Player. McCall also made history during her junior year by tying for third place in the Keene State history books for single season assists.

McCall has already had a successful senior year with three goals and 14 assists.

Next up on the field hockey schedule, the Owls will take on the Southern Maine Huskies on the Huskies’ turf, Saturday, October 19 at 3 p.m.

Hello! My name is Claire Boughton. I have worked with the Equinox for a little over two years and have held the position of the Senior Sports Reporter and now the Sports Editor. I am from West Simsbury, Connecticut, and live with my mom and dad. I have an older brother named Grant who is currently living in Albany, New York, but plans to move to New York City in a few months (because a global pandemic didn’t seem to scare him away from city-life). I have two cats named Stella and Luna, a dog named Sage and a fish named Shrimp. My cats are both 16 years old, making them both 108 human years old. That means that they would have survived through the Great Depression, both World Wars, the Cold War, women earning the right to vote and so much more. That’s a lot of wisdom. My dog is 12 years old, making her 74 human years old. We adopted her when she was four years old from Arkansas. I’m not sure how old Shrimp is but he is a baby betta I bought at PETCO about three weeks ago. I am an avid plant owner and love to help my friends and family keep their plants alive. I also wrote an article on kscequinox.com about what plants are good for what dorm rooms. I paint and draw in whatever free time I have and sometimes ride my bike that I got in middle school. My favorite part of the Sports Editor position is creating the weekly layout for the sports section. I have always loved design and making things nice to look at which I get to do every week with this job! If you are interested in writing for the sports section or have any questions you can contact me at cboughton@kscequinox.com.
