National Conference Bergey’s Buick GMC Highlighted Player
Clare Rowley – Senior at Abington Senior High School
A two-year varsity player, Clare is a “lead by example player” who works hard during the season and in the off-season. Clare plays left wing but has developed strong defensive skills so she can be used in the midfield when her team needs her there.
Note from the coach:
“Clare is a humble player,” coach Amanda Deering said. “She doesn’t always get the recognition she deserves, but she doesn’t need it either. Clare is always up to compete in a game no matter what. She is one of our most consistent players, is very coachable and brings an edge of aggression to the field on game day. Last year, Clare had been getting only a few minutes in the varsity games, but when she was given the opportunity to play against Bensalem, she came up big for us by scoring two goals, including the game winning goal.
About Clare:
Best memory playing field hockey: “My favorite memory would be when I scored two goals last year against Bensalem for the win!”
Part of the game I enjoy most: “When my team really needs a goal and I get a nice tip on the ball.”
My role model is: “My grandmother has always been an inspiration to me because she has always maintained a strong positive attitude despite all of life’s ups and downs.”
Favorite food: Macaroni and Cheese
Favorite TV show: Gilmore Girls

Robyn Barbell – Senior at Hatboro-Horsham High School
A senior captain, Barbell is a three-year varsity player who has been a key to the Hatters’ transition game at left mid and contributes at both ends of the field.
Note from the coach:
“Robyn is a good leader,” coach Laura Swezey said. “She’s very positive, and she really good at bringing everyone together. On the field, she’s very intense, and she’s a very good communicator. Even when she doesn’t have the ball, she’s guiding those in front of her where to pass the ball, and she transitions the ball well.”
About Robyn:
Best memory playing field hockey: “Winning the first home game on our school’s brand new turf. It was under the lights, and we won in overtime beating Souderton.”
Part of game I enjoy most: “I love taking penalty strokes because I like trying to trick the goalie to where I am shooting the ball.”
My role model is: “My parents. They work so hard and still find time to come to my games and are always there to support me. One day I hope to be just like them.”
Music that gets me pumped before games: “Really anything that I can dance and sing along to!”
Favorite food: Grilled Cheese or Mac and Cheese
Favorite TV show: Revenge (It keeps me on the edge of my seat!)
Chocolate or vanilla: Chocolate

Note from the coach:

About Lindsay:
Best memory playing field hockey: “Beating our high school rivals.”
