Field hockey senior Sarah Levine is featured in "Faces in the Crowd"
in the Oct. 6 issue of Sports Illustrated.
Levine becomes the third Red Hawk athlete in the past year to make the
issue's section. Women's soccer goalkeeper Stephanie Romanko was featured
in December 2002 while NCAA champion wrestler Rami Ratel appeared in April
2003.
Levine made the issue for her heroic effort as Montclair State upset then
number-1-ranked The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), 4-3, in double overtime
at Sprague Field Sept. 13.
Levine scored the final three goals as the Red Hawks rallied from a two-goal
deficit to defeat the Lions for just the second time in the last 40 meetings
between the teams.The victory catapulted MSU into the top 10 in the National
Field Hockey Coaches Association Division III poll.
Trailing 3-1 with just under three minutes remaining, Levine, who was
named the NJAC Offensive Player of the Week, scored to cut TCNJ lead to
one and then tied the game with 38 seconds left. In the second overtime,
Levine, who had a goal disallowed with five minutes left, scored the game
winner as she knocked in a rebound, sending the MSU bench and fans into
a frenzy.
Levine is second on the team in goals (six) and points (15). Click
