With the regular season coming to an end and our women’s soccer team currently ranked third in the Little East Conference, let’s meet one of the captains!

Patricia Norton, senior midfielder, has been making sure her final season as an Owl is one for the books already having scored three goals and six assists.

However, Norton’s entire career at Keene State has been an impressive one.

Norton’s first year as an Owl saw her named the Little East Conference Rookie of the Year with a total of five goals and four assists.

Norton’s sophomore year was even more impressive, seeing her start in all 14 games of the season. She was named a First Team All-Conference honoree as well as an NSCAA Division III All-New England Region First Team and an NEWISA Second Team honoree.

Junior year however, Norton hit a speed bump. After starting in seven games, Norton was given a medical hardship waiver due to an ACL tear. However, in those seven games, Norton still managed to be named a First Team All-Little East Conference.

Norton and the rest of the women’s team will face off at home Saturday, November 2, against Southern Maine. The game will kickoff at noon.

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!
