Maura Doyle writes, “As for field hockey, we had an amazing season with a lot of adversity that we overcame to make it the Division II National Championship game in Bloomsburg, PA. The entire 70 minutes was a battle until we lost in overtime to a penalty stroke (similar to a PK in soccer). It still stings a little bit to think about how close we were to winning our first ever national championship (it also would’ve been our coaches 100th win!) but I couldn’t be more proud of my teammates. This January I had an incredible opportunity to co-lead a trip of 8 other Merrimack Students on an International Service trip to Kingston, Jamaica. We lived in and worked with an organization called Mustard Seed Communities. MSC is a Catholic founded organization that has communities in Jamaica, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, and Zimbabwe. The populations of the homes include children and young adults with disabilities, children affected by HIV/AIDS and teen mothers along with their babies. MSC Jamaica also manages a number of community outreach programs to combat poverty and provide education to local populations while expanding agriculturally sustainable communities. The children and people of MSC intellectually and emotionally challenged me to reflect every second of the week to the present. The trip and one special little girl inspired me to look deeper into my passions, skills, and goals to guide me to and through my future challenges and endeavors.”
