Roberts, Zysk ranked among field hockey's best
Two area field hockey players were recognized by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association on Dec. 11.
East Bridgewater High's Jessica Roberts was selected to the 2006 Penn Monto/NFHCA All-American first team. Walpole High's Tacy Zysk was selected to the second team.
Roberts and Zysk were the only players from Massachusetts to receive the national honor.
Roberts, a 2006 Globe All-Scholastic, played midfield and collected 101 goals and 48 assists in four seasons at East Bridgewater. East Bridgewater earned back-to-back titles in the Patriot League and the South Shore League and she will play field hockey at Boston College next year.
Zysk, a forward, was selected the Globe's Division 1 player of the year. Her 28 goals and 20 assists this season made her the third leading scorer in Massachusetts. She also helped Walpole end its season undefeated with a Division 1 state title.
She will attend Brown University next year.
