If you follow field hockey at all, you can appreciate how difficult it is to be a factor at both ends of the field like Skowhegan grad Michele Farley has been for Babson College this season.

Farley, a junior, leads Babson with two defensive saves. That's no surprise, as she has 10 in her career as a four-year starter in the backfield.

But after scoring two goals in her first 77 collegiate games, Farley has six goals in her last five. Those six goals are just one off of the team lead.

Farley also has four assists, which is a team high. She has converted both of her penalty strokes to lead Babson in that category as well.

After beginning the season by losing four straight, Babson used a seven-game winning streak to carry an 8-6 record into this weekend. Farley was named New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference Player of the Week for last week.
