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 />

assists) and junior goalkeeper<br />

Katie Ridd.<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 />
