A New Era for Somers Field Hockey
The Somers Field Hockey program finished the previous season with a 6‑10 record, a result that left the squad hungry for improvement.
Head coach Shannon Scavelli, now in her second year at the helm, has built the 2026 campaign around the group of seniors who proved they can handle the physical demands of the game.
Among those seniors, goalie Aimee Kovacs stands out after learning from the previous net‑minders, committing to play the full 60 minutes and sharpening her reflexes in every drill.
Defenders Vivian DaVilla and Allison Kaminski bring a blend of experience and chemistry that has already translated into tighter back‑line play during preseason scrimmages.
Midfielders Caitlyn Mayfield, Marissa Petrini and Zoe MacSweeney have embraced a work‑ethic that emphasizes relentless running, while newcomers Sloane Filippazzo, Emma Donaldson, Ruola Bachas and Olivia DiGiacomo add fresh attacking options.
The team’s mantra — ‘never stop, finish every game’ — has become a rallying cry that unites the group, as they aim to translate their determination into a winning record.
