CAROL PIERCE ('71): Carol Pierce was a multi-talented athlete who excelled in field hockey and women's lacrosse at Plymouth State, and in the words of veteran head coach Janet Nell, "...was certainly one of the most gifted and competitive athletes I've ever coached."
Pierce was a four-year standout in field hockey and was one of the early stars of the fledgling women's lacrosse team that evolved into perennial New England champions. She performed at PSC from 1967-71 and was a 1971 graduate of the White Mountain campus. She was also the co-captain and number one player on the women's tennis team.
Pierce was twice named to the Dean's List at Plymouth State, where she graduated with a degree in physical education. She was a 1966 graduate of Hanover High School, where she was also an outstanding athlete.
While at PSC, Pierce was the starting left wing on the New Hampshire State Field Hockey team. She gained recognition as an outstanding singles and doubles tennis player in many amateur tournaments, and at age 16 was the #10 ranked singles tennis player in New England.
During the past 14 years, Carol has worked as a teacher-coach at Choate Rosemary Hall School in Wallingford, Conn., Mascoma High School, Laconia High School, and Kingswood Regional High School.
