Martinez: A Rare Two-Time Captain

Mitchell Alva  —  Oct 3, 2008

When the women’s field hockey team defeated Princeton last year for the first time since 1990, you wouldn’t have found its junior co-captain celebrating with the entire squad for long. Instead, Belen Martinez could be found shedding tears of joy while relaying the good news to her parents on the phone. For Martinez, the sport of field hockey is much more than a hobby, it is part of her identity.

Coming off the first 4-0 start in the history of the field hockey program, sophomore Canadian import Belen Martinez is a driving force behind the team’s success.

Martinez is a sweeper for the Red — “the anchor position on defense” for head coach Donna Hornibrook’s surging team (4-1, 2-0 Ivy).
