The Dallas Post SPORTS Dallas, PA Tuesday, November 21,1989 13 Wendy Skibitsky dedicated to field hockey By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Wendy Skibitsky is just one ex- ample of the dedicated athletes who played on this season's Lake- Lehman girls field hockey team. A senior, Wendy is the daughter of Joseph and Dorothy Skibitsky of Sweet Valley. She was picked last week for the All-Star East Team which was scheduled to play the All-Star West team tonight (Tues- day). This season, Wendy was second in the Wyoming Valley Conference in scoring with 26 goals and eight assists. She has played field hockey for only three years, starting as a sophomore at right wing position. She played right wing in her junior year as well, but as a senior she played right inner. Wendy was eighth in the league in scoring as a sophomore and sev- «_enth in scoring as a junior. "She became interested in field hockey through encouragement by Mrs. Florence Finn, Cheryl Travis and Carolyn James, who finally talked Wendy into trying the sport. Wendy enjoyed it, but knew she had to work hard to catch up with the girls who had played in junior high.

Denmon) In the summer she did a lot of running and hitting the ball up and down the field. She also worked at staying in good condition. “Carolyn James and Sandy Dicton helped me a lot when I was in 10th grade,” Wendy said. “I also attribute a lot of my success to my coaches.” The Lady Knights ended the season with a 14-4-1 record. Dur- ing the regular season they fin- ished as runnerup in the district, then defeated Dallas in the district playoffs. In the interdistrict play- offs they lost to Newport in the final six seconds of the game. “Wendy was a co-captain of this year's team,” Coach Jean Lipski said. “Due to her dedication she was an exceedingly conscientious hockey player. Her speed and stick skills made her one of the most exciting players in the conference to watch and to coach. She will make a great Division I college player. “Wendy is a true representative of the girls on the team,” Lipski concluded. Wendy said she plans to attend college but she doesn’t know where. She has been to Temple University and is going to look at Springfield College in Massachusetts. “I would like to play for a Divi- sion I school if possible,” Wendy said. Strikes 'n spares .
