Katie Frett, a Hall-Dale High School graduate who is a freshman at Wellesley College, and Lauren Blake, a Messalonskee grad who is now a sophomore at Clark University, both earned regional honors for their field hockey play this season.
Frett, of Hallowell, started every game for Wellesley and scored seven goals this season. She was named the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year. Wellesley finished 13-6 and lost in the conference championship game to Springfield College.
Frett was named second-team all-NEWMAC and was also named to the 2007 Longstreth/NFHCA Division III All-Region Team as a second-team member.
