    BOSTON — Dover-Foxcroft resident Gabrielle Henderson, a 2013 graduate of Foxcroft Academy, was a first-year player on the Simmons College field hockey team this fall.
    Henderson, a biochemistry major, played in 19 games for the Sharks. She scored four goals and picked up one assist, while recording 30 shots on goal.

    Simmons finished the season with a record of 12-8 — 6-3 in North Atlantic Conference play — for a seven-win improvement from the year before.

In the quarterfinals Simmons fell at No. 4 UMaine-Farmington, 2-0.
