AMANDA HENDRY
Wilton, Jr., G
* Player of the Year *

There wasn’t a more talented goalie in the
state of Connecticut than Wilton’s Amanda
Hendry. The University of North Carolina-
bound junior was a veritable brick wall in net,
relinquishing just four goals in 22 matches.
Hendry recorded a staggering 13 shutouts and
posted a save percentage of 91. Warriors
coach Deirdre Hynes noted Hendry’s all-
around athleticism and her ability to quickly
move around and adjust in the cage. She was
named first team all-state, first team all-
FCIAC and was nominated for the all-region
and all-American teams. Hendry — a member of the U.S. U-17 National team — was also featured as one of Max
Field Hockey’s Northeast Players to Watch in the preseason. Amanda’s older sister, Madison, was named MSG
Varsity’s Connecticut field hockey Player of the Year last season.

Coach of the Year
DEIRDRE HYNES
Wilton, 15th year

While the Wilton Warriors didn’t come home with any postseason
hardware, they still finished the season as the No. 1 team in MSG
Varsity’s Connecticut power rankings. And much of it was due to the
masterful coaching of Deirdre Hynes, who guided the Warriors to a 17-
4-1 record and a runner-up finish in the Class M state tournament.
Wilton also earned the top seed in the FCIAC playoffs before getting
upset by eventual champ New Canaan in the semifinals. The Warriors
finished as the No. 10 team in MSG Varsity’s Tri-State Top 10.
