The <strong>Wake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> field hockey<br />
team made history on Nov.<br />
10, shutting out Maryland,<br />
4-0, in the finals of the <strong>2002</strong><br />
ACC Championship. With the<br />
win over the four-time defending<br />
ACC champs, the Deacons<br />
(16-2) brought home the first<br />
ACC Championship trophy in<br />
team history.<br />
Four Demon Deacons were<br />
named to the ACC All-<br />
Tournament team. All-ACC<br />
sophomore Kelly Dostal was<br />
named tournament MVP,<br />
recording two goals and two<br />
assists in the tournament.<br />

Doton also made the squad,<br />
along with senior Heather<br />
Aughinbaugh (two goals, two<br />

<strong>Wake</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> Head Coach<br />
and ACC Coach of the Year<br />
Jennifer Averill was proud of<br />
her squad. “We’ve had this<br />
mission in the back of our<br />
heads for a long time,” she<br />
said. “Our motto for the season<br />
has been to act like champions<br />
whenever we step onto<br />
the field, and we definitely<br />
did that today.”<br />
The Championship for the<br />
Deacons is not only the first in<br />
team history, but it also ended<br />
Maryland’s streak of four<br />
straight ACC Championships.<br />
It is also the first time a team<br />
other than Maryland or North<br />
Carolina has won the championship.<br />

play in the <strong>2002</strong> NCAA<br />
Division I Championship on<br />
