Sharkey '13 Helps USA Field Hockey To Bronze at Pan American Cup

LANCASTER, Pa. – Kathleen Sharkey '13 helped the United States women's field hockey team earn a bronze medal over Canada in the Pan American Cup yesterday.

Sharkey had an incredible tournament as she scored five times for the United States. In the team's first game, the former Tiger recorded a hat trick vs. Mexico. The U.S. squad dropped Mexico, 9-0, before tying Canada 1-1. The unit won its group with a 9-0 decision over Brazil, a contest that featured two tallies from Sharkey.

In the semifinals, Chile posted a last-minute goal to take down the United States, 4-3. After a tough loss, the national team rebounded with a comeback victory, 2-1, over Canada to score the bronze medal. Sharkey finished as the tournament's top goal scorer.

Arguably the greatest player in Princeton field hockey history, Sharkey is the program's all-time leader in points (245) and goals (107). She has two highest individual point totals for a season (85, 2012, 74, 2010) and set the single-game record for goals (6) and points (12) in a game (at Richmond, Sept. 10, 2010). The four-time All-American was the Ivy League Rookie of the Year (2008), Player of the Year (2010) and Offensive Player of the Year (2012).
