Archbishop Spalding field hockey coach Leslee Brady e-mailed on Tuesday to say two of her former players are being inducted into the school's athletic Hall of Fame on Friday.

"It's not often that field hockey players are inducted," Brady said. "It's a rather obscure sport."

The two former players being inducted during the school's homecoming game are defender Maureen Brady Doran from the 2003 team and forward Erin Kelly, who graduated in 2004.

Brady said both players were captains of their teams, all-county, all-metro, all-conference and all-state players.

What she didn't say until much later, when asked just how rare it is for a field hockey player to be inducted, was that Doran is her married daughter, who is joining her older sister and brother in the Spalding Hall of Fame.

Before Doran and Kelly, the last field hockey player named to the hall was Kat Brady Nepp, who graduated in 1998 and was inducted in 2002. Maureen's and Kat's brother Matt, a 1996 graduate, is also in the Spalding Hall of Fame for his performances on the baseball and basketball teams.
