Hall of Fame Team

1975 Field Hockey Team

The 1975 field hockey team won the Women's Conference of Independent Colleges (WCIC) title with a perfect 10-0 record. Two all-conference members led the Bearcats statistics-Kelsey Bunker in scoring (17) and Lynne Crosett in assists (23). Joining those two on the all-WCIC team were Sue Ruff, Carla Piluso and Ginny Daquil. Willamette also competed in the Willamette Valley Field Hockey Association. Bearcat all-stars in the WVFHA included Daquil, Crosett and Katie Walwyn. Head Coach Fran Howard also served on the U.S. Field Hockey Association governing committee that year. Howard, inducted into the Hall Fame in 1994, was selected into the NAIA District II Coaches Hall of Fame in 1986. Crosett and teammate Holly Brown were inducted into the Willamette Hall of Fame in 1992 and 1997, respectively.
