Field hockey Klausner picked to lead Morrisville program
The Morrisville field hockey team has a new skipper.
Katherine Klausner will guide the program this season.
“I’m very excited to be taking over the program,” said Klausner, who is back at Drexel earning a certificate in special education.
“I’ve already met with some of the girls and they seem enthusiastic. They can’t wait to get started and neither can I.”
Klausner is taking a back-to-basics approach.
“Our big focus is on learning the game and learning the positions,” she said. “I think with that will come learning to love the game and really enjoying playing.
“I want them to feel confident when they step onto the field.”
She takes over for Michelle Riley, who left after five years because she could no longer devote enough time to the program.
Morrisville athletic director John Hubiak is pleased with the hire.
“We are glad to have Katherine on board,” he said. “She will bring knowledge and excitement to our team and we’re looking forward to the season.
The Bulldogs were 0-13 in the Bicentennial Athletic League last season, 3-17 overall.
“We’d like to win more games of course,” Klausner said. “But I also want the girls to make friends and have fun.”
