Former Sailor earns all-tournament honors

Sasha Grumman, a Newport Harbor High product, helped the Kenyon College field hockey team win the North Coast Athletic Conference tournament championship Oct. 27, beating the Wittenburg University Tigers, 2-1.

Grumman, who was named to the all-tournament team, scored the game’s first goal, which later proved to be important.

The Tigers tied the game and the two teams took it to a shootout to determine a winner, with the Ladies taking home the trophy and an automatic bid into the national tournament.

Kenyon (11-12) lost to The State of New York at Cortland, 2-0, in the first round of the NCAA Division III field hockey championship tournament on Wednesday.

The Ladies made their third appearance in the national tournament.
