Zalewski Scores Her 50th Career Goal for the Comets 

On Oct. 2, Madison Zalewski scored her 50th career field hockey goal at Abington Heights High School. 

“I knew I was only one away, but I tried not to focus on stats. My team always comes first and I do whatever I can to win games for us, whether it's passing or scoring,” said Zalewski. “It was more of a team milestone than anything.”

The Abington Heights senior first started playing field hockey in seventh grade. She was inspired by her mom Christine Zalewski, who played at Bloomsburg University.   

“Knowing how successful my mom was at field hockey growing up, she motivated me to play. I have learned so much from her and am so grateful,” Zalweski explained.   

Alongside field hockey, Zalewski also excels on the girl's basketball team and earned sixth place at the PIAA State Championships for javelin this past spring. She also broke the school record throwing a personal best of 131-1.   

Zalewski is also sixth in the nation for total goals scored this year with 24 and twelfth in the nation for total points (goals and assists). The team is ranked 17th in the state, which is the first time this has happened in school history.  

Zalewski will take her talents to Old Dominion University, a Division I program, where she will continue her field hockey career next fall.
