Field Hockey

Biddeford High School (BHS) is proud to announce that seven of its field hockey players have been named to the prestigious 2024 National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Watchlist. This recognition places them among the 456 student-athletes from 171 high schools across the country who have been identified as "Players to Watch" in the upcoming season. Congratulations to BHS students Eliza Doyon (Senior), Cordelia Kane (Sophomore), Ayla Lagasse (Senior), Hannah Loranger (Senior), Kayla Magnant (Junior), Mia Mariello (Freshman), and Corinne Ramunno (Junior).

“We couldn’t be more proud of these talented athletes,” said Dennis Walton, Athletic Director at Biddeford High School. “Their dedication, teamwork, and relentless drive have truly set them apart. This recognition is a testament to their hard work and the outstanding leadership of their coaches. We’re excited to see what they’ll accomplish this season and beyond.” 

The NFHCA Watchlist is designed to highlight those field hockey student-athletes with the strongest potential for consideration for this year’s NFHCA All-Region and All-American teams. To be nominated for the 2024 Watchlist, student-athletes must have been recognized for their exceptional field hockey abilities within the past two years through honors such as NFHCA All-Region, NFHCA All-American, All-Conference, Nexus Championship selection, AAU Junior Olympic Games selection, All-State or All-League, and/or U.S. National Team roster. Additionally, their head coach must be an active NFHCA member.

Head Coach Caitlin Tremberth also expressed pride in the team, saying, “These girls have shown incredible commitment and passion for the game. They push each other to be better every day, and it’s inspiring to watch them grow as athletes and as a team. Being named to the NFHCA Watchlist is a well-deserved honor, and I know they’ll continue to excel.”

It is important to note that the Watchlist itself does not constitute a nomination or selection to the NFHCA All-Region or All-American teams. Student-athletes not listed on the Watchlist may still be nominated for these honors.  The NFHCA High School All-Region and All-American teams will be announced on November 26, 2024, and December 10, 2024, respectively.

The National Field Hockey Coaches Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to championing, strengthening, and celebrating field hockey coaches and the sport itself across the United States. The NFHCA supports the professional development of its members and works to promote the growth of field hockey nationwide.  For more information about the NFHCA, visit
