The forward’s 100th point came against Elk Lake in October. “Joscelyn is extremely quick and heady around the cage,” coach Jean Lipski said. “If Jos- celyn has the ball near her stick inside circle, she’s going to score. She’s such a quiet per- son. If you met her on the street, you'd never imagine she'd be the kind of player she is. She’s not an emotional ‘rah- rah’ type of player. But when she’s on the field, she does her job. “And she does it very well.” Jamie Lipski scored 11 goals and recorded 12 assists for 34 points this season. During her high school career, she scored 22 goals and had 37 assists for 81 points while playing mostly as a midfielder. “She thinks a lot on the field,” said Jean Lipski, refer- ring to her daughter. “She just doesn’t react. Jamie is able to analyze what’s taking place on the field and then make the right decisions. I'm very proud of her maturity and how much she’s grown as an athlete and as a person. Jamie has a lot of speed and athleticism. I've al- ways said good athletes can be even better if they can ‘see ahead in situations. Jamie is able to do that.” Although she can’t specifical- ly comment about the two play- ers until they sign an official let- ter of intent in February, Madl knows the kind of players pro- duced by the WVC. “They bring some great coaching and a great tradition of success to the college level,” said the former member of the U.S. Olympic team. “They play with a lot of passion and a love of the game. Fundamentally, they're very sound. They play at such a higher level more of- ten, so they're able to advance their elite skills as well. “I'm probably a little biased but as far as quality of play is concerned, not many areas in country can compete with the Wyoming Valley Conference.” Mahon - a three-sport stand- out who also considered play- ing field hockey at the Universi- ty of Scranton or Quinnipiac — Trucksville, PA 18708 re * Quality Photography.

I really didn’t think about playing any other sport in college. It was going to be field hockey or nothing. I just need to keep working hard and improve my skills and my quickness. I also need to get a little stronger.” Lipski plans to major in psy- chology and/or pre-med at Providence in pursuit of a ca- reer in sports psychology. The National Honor Society stu- dent also considered offers from Quinnipiac and Villanova. “I really liked the area and I think that’s very important,” she said. “I always thought it would be fun to go to college near a bigger city. And I really like the New England area.” Jean Lipski, who has coached one of her two daugh- ters for "six ‘consecutive sea= =" sons, says Jamie Lipski and Ma- hon were part of a special group at Lake-Lehman. “They spent more time around the house than most of the team’s I've coached,” said Jean Lipski, who also coached her daughter Lauren. “They're great kids. “I can’t believe my daughters are out of the program. I en- joyed coaching them. This is a very bittersweet time. I'm sorry I won't be coaching Jamie any- more, but I could not pick a coach in country better than Diane Madl. Jamie made a great decision.” p= Dont forget the lady on your list!
