Franklin Pierce University Women's Field Hockey

Adkins' 2015 squad continued to build on the work she had done with the team as a graudate assistant the prior year. In her first year as the head coach, Adkins guided the squad to the third double-digit win campaign in school history, as the Ravens finished at 10-8. The record included a 5-7 mark in Northeast-10 play, which left the team two games out of postseason play. The season, which was just one win off the program record, saw three Ravens lauded with awards at the end of Adkins' first season as a head coach. Sophomore forward , who matched her freshman season with another 10-goal campaign, and senior back , an anchor of the team's strongest defensive effort in over a decade, each earned All-Northeast-10 Second Team honors. Meanwhile, freshman midfielder  posted a 10-point season in her inaugural campaign to earn Northeast-10 All-Rookie Team honors. Rindge is the first collegiate head-coaching stop for Adkins, who spent her first year in Rindge as the graduate assistant coach under former head coach , who departed after nine years at the helm prior to the 2015 campaign. Adkins' arrival at Franklin Pierce coincided with a resurgent 2014 squad, which used a strong second half to finish with an 8-10 record, eclipsing the team's win total from the 2012 and 2013 seasons combined. Under Adkins' tutelage as a graduate assistant, several underclassmen helped rejuvenate the team's attack, none more than freshman forward , who became the first Raven ever to tally 10 goals in a season before her junior campaign. At the other end of the field, freshman goalkeeper keyed a reinvigorated defensive effort, as the team posted its lowest goals-against average since 2011. A four-year letterwinner at the University of Maine (), Adkins missed just two games in her career with the Black Bears, as she finished with 76 games played and tallied 11 goals and 12 assists for 34 points along the way. She split time between the back line and the midfield in Orono and produced nearly all of her career offense over her final two seasons in black and blue. Adkins capped her career with 4-1-9 in her senior season in the 2012, on her way to hauling in Longstreth/NFHCA All-Region Second Team and America East First Team All-Conference honors, in addition to a spot in the NFHCA Senior Game. As a freshman in 2009, she earned American East All-Rookie Team accolades. Maine advanced to the postseason in each of Adkins' four years on campus, but lost in the semifinal round of the America East Championship each time.  Originally from Coquitlam, British Columbia, Adkins graduated from Maine in 2013 with a bachelor's degree in kinesiology and physical education and is pursuing her master's degree at Franklin Pierce.

Lepore was tied for third in program history in defensive saves (7) with Kayleigh Jaksina '09. In addition, she was tied for 12th in program annals in games played (71), with former teammate Chanelle Letarte '14, as well as Angela Barone. In her freshman season of 2011, Lepore joined tri-captain Beth Haight '12 and Alyssa Juszczyk '13 on a formidable backline which anchored arguably the best season in program history, as the Ravens finished third in the Northeast-10 and hosted the quarterfinal round of the Northeast-10 Championship. Along with two-way midfielder Kim Jaksina '12, the trio allowed 7.84 shots on goal per game, the third-lowest number in the league, while also allowing opponents to put just 51.92% of their shot attempts on target, the best such percentage among Northeast-10 defensive units. For her work that season, Lepore was named to the Northeast-10 All-Rookie Team. Originally from Barnstable, Mass., Lepore graduated from Franklin Pierce in 2015 with a bachelor's degree in social work & counseling. She is pursuing her MBA in leadership at the University.
