Senior field hockey player <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/fh\/2016-17\/bios\/daley_hannah_cxa4\" target=\"_self\">Hannah Daley<\/a><\/strong> (Lothian, Md.\/Southern) has shown her versatile nature during her time at EMU.<\/p>\n<p>On Senior Recognition Day, after being recognized for her hard work over the past four years, Hannah saw time as goalie for the first time since 2015. Despite the loss against Virginia Wesleyan College, the senior showed her defensive capabilities and played well, notching nine saves in the 3-2 decision.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"highlight highlight-right\">Read about Hannah Daley&#8217;s research accomplishments in the laboratory <a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2015\/10\/junior-hannah-daley-preps-for-grad-school-with-nsf-sponsored-summer-lab-research-on-caffeine-and-athletes\/\">with athletes<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2016\/09\/four-students-gain-research-experience-national-science-foundation-funded-reu-summer-placements\/\">atmospheric science<\/a>.<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cMy first game back in the cage I was nervous, but once I put on my pads I was calm and confident,\u201d Hannah said. \u201cGoalie was a position I knew how to play without thinking about every little thing I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her confidence showed, as she was able to hold the strong Virginia Wesleyan offense to just three goals, which is no small fete.<\/p>\n<p>While not having a set position can seem to be a tedious job, Hannah has been able to grab hold of her role and take it in full stride each day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany days I show up and I do not know the position I am going to play until my coach tells me,\u201d Hannah stated. \u201cI am not in love with a position but with sports. To me field and goal are two different sports with their own joys and struggles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannah describes her main position being in the cage, but has played a great deal of time in the field in order to give offensive-specific players a break.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have always been seen as goalie and my team purpose had to switch when I started playing field,\u201d Hannah said. \u201cI served my role on the team as an energetic field player to give my teammates fresh legs. I will play any position for my team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Being a versatile player is not the only role that Hannah has taken on as one of the three seniors on a team with nine new players. Being a leader on a young team is a task that Hannah has taken on fully, and with being one of the two four-year players on the team, she understands what it takes to be successful in a competitive ODAC and what it takes to be a selfless player.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30349\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30349\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2016\/10\/athlete-week-hannah-daley\/mg_7284_web-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-30349\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30349\" src=\"\/\/emu.edu\/now\/is\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/MG_7284_web-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"Hannah Daley during her junior Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) at James Madison University.\" width=\"300\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/MG_7284_web-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/MG_7284_web.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30349\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Student-athlete Hannah Daley during her junior Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) at James Madison University.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI want to set an example of a Christian student-athlete that cares more about the team than myself,\u201d Hannah said on her leadership role. \u201cI have embodied the growth mindset theme that my coach has inspired in our growing season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As her senior campaign is winding down, Hannah\u2019s competitive nature will never fade away, according to her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to be playing until the day I die,\u201d Hannah said. \u201cWhen I cannot participate physically in local leagues, I will do competitive Sudoku or something.
