Still to come - this week's featured athlete of the week.

But coming up next...a new era has now officially begun in field hockey senior forward is making history and with a big win tonight, has led her team to a 12-0 and 1 record.

(nats( renee morrison (off camera): she's done everything that an athlete could do to be successful at her sport.

Hanna corrigan, holland patent's girls field hockey senior forward is having a season like no other.

For more reasons then one.

Even with the status of the season in the hands of the coronavirus pandemic, she's made history.

On friday, october 30, hanna corrigan scored 6 goals in the golden knights win over new york mills, setting a new school scoring record for most goals in a single game.

Hanna corrigan: just like unbeliveable because i didn't think it could happen.

Like i didn't think i could do that.

Just to know that all my teammates and coaches cheering me on from the sideline and i just knew i had their support.

So it gave me that extra push so i was able to do it.

Renee morrison: she was close at half time and she's like coach can i do it?

Can i do it?

And i'm like absolutely and i didn't say a word to any of her teammates and all of a sudden they were calling corners to set her up so that she could be successful.

Watching her reaction and her team's reaction for her was the best part because it wasn't just about hannah corrigan in that moment it was about holland patent field hockey and being able to come together and accomplish a goal.

Rallying the name, hanna scor-igan corrigan she's taken this season by storm.

Through 11 games she's scored 24goals, s not finished.

While she is aford hockey wasn't her first love... renee morrison: hannah has taken every opportunity she can to evolve as a player.

As a seventh grader she was a little girl in modified and i went and watched the modified team play and what hannah doesn't you know didn't realize at the time is her basketball training prepared her for her field hockey career.

So when i watch her on the field she naturally knew how to do things that most modified players didn't know how to do and i thought that's a girl that i want to continue to play field hockey.

Of course those days she was going to be a basketball player so i like to remind her of that every once in a while.

Whether its the basketball court or the turf, these sports are team games, but for the golden knights team is family.

Hanna corrigan: they're pretty much like my second family i can't imagine my life without them they just provide so much support for me.

They always cheer me on and push me and they want me to be the best player i can be.

Renee morrison: when she says they're a family they are a family they travel together, they vacation together, they are together whenever they can have the opportunity.

So to see four years later the young ladies that they are like it's hard to not give them the opportunity that every other athlete, every other senior had.

But i'm so proud of the accomplishments that they have and i know that they have four years of college hockey that they are going to be able to get even more memories maybe together may be against each other.

But i know that their friendships and their family are going to be lifelong because they've built holland patent field hockey they are a core of what holland patent field hockey is right now.
