RECOGNIZING AN OWLS' LEGEND
The season opening tournament was formally named in honor of Dr. Dora Metrelis, who served as the Owls' head field hockey coach from 1961-76 and was a professor at the university from 1961-88. During her time on the sidelines, she guided the Owls to their most successful era in program history and closed her career with a record of 81-31-30. Her teams posted three consecutive undefeated campaigns from 1963-65, with the 1965 team not meriting a goal throughout the entire season.
• Dr. Metrelis also served as a faculty member at SCSU and was a decorated official and instructor. She has been recognized by numerous organizations for her contributions to athletics including: Connecticut AHPERD Certification of Appreciation and Professional Honor Awards, recognition from the Connecticut Field Hockey Coaches Association, honorary membership in the EAPECW and induction into the Connecticut Women's Basketball Hall of Fame for her work as an official.
