2002 TORREY PINES FALCONS
FIELD HOCKEY
After winning both the CIF championship and the Palomar
League, there is a good argument to be made that the 2002 version of the
Falcons varsity field hockey team was not just the best team in Torrey
Pines history, but also one of the best in the annuls of San Diego County
high school field hockey.
In Coach Kari Labeta’s third year at the helm, the team
finished with 23 wins and only two losses overall, and swept through the
Palomar League undefeated, with eight wins against zero defeats. The Falcons
went on to thump San Pasqual 3-0 in the CIF division one final.
The 2002 Falcons also excelled at an individual level:
seven of the seniors, two of the juniors and one of the sophomores on the
varsity team that year went on to play Division One college hockey including
Tami Becker (Boston University), Missy Briery (Louisville), Laura Cosan
(Columbia), Jessica Javelet (Louisville), Cara Lopresti (Stanford and Duke),
Danielle Neault (Pacific), Ashley Pernicano (Michigan State), Haley Scott
(Wake Forest) and Tracey Scott (Wake Forest).
The players also garnered a number of individual awards
that season. Cara Lopresti was named CIF Player of the Year – the only
time in 24 years of field hockey that a Falcon has won that honor. Lopresti
was joined on the all CIF first team by Haley Scott and Ashley Pernicano.
Tracey Scott and Laura Cosan were named to the CIF second team.
Eight different Falcons made the Palomar League all-star
teams including the five above as well as Jessica Javelet and Kelley Birch.
At the Falcons’ own end of the season awards banquet, Lopresti and Haley
Scott shared the Most Outstanding Athlete award.

The TPHS Field Hockey Archives were assembled in 2008 in an attempt
to document the history of the Torrey Pines Field Hockey Program. Unfortunately
we didn't have a team website prior to 2003 (with the exception of a student-created
website of the 2000 season). The Archives were created by the efforts of
Joe Yogerst, Kari DiGiulio, and Analia Carlson. Former
players, parents of players and coaches: to please send us whatever information
that might have from the past that could help us fill in the missing years!
