Berger, Perry in top efforts

Several Eastern Maine women are are setting records, establishing marks, and collecting honors in a variety of sports.

University of Maine-Farmington senior captain Candy Berger has added her name to the UMF women’s basketball history book after surpassing the 1,000-point career mark in a recent game against Husson College of Bangor.

Berger, a 5-foot-6 guard from Limestone, is averaging 13.3 points per game for the Beavers.

A two-sport captain, Berger was honored as the 1992 NAIA District 5 Volleyball Co-Player of the Year.

Berger is a special education major and, in her spare time this winter, served as coach for the Farmington Recreation Department’s girls basketball travel team.

Springfield (Mass.) College junior all-American Belinda Perry of Brewer set four Springfield College records swimming in the New England Women’s Swimming and Diving Team Championship held earlier this month at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston.

Perry was second in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:09.12; third in the 200 backstroke at 2:08.43; and fourth in the 400 individual medley at 4:36.67. She swam the first leg on the 400-meter relay team in a time of 1:00.78.

In the meet, she also competed in the 200, 400 and 800 freestyle relays.

Becky Demos, a guard for St. Anselm College of Manchester, N.H., has become the third senior on the women’s basketball team to surpass the 1,000-point career mark this year.

Demos reached the mark in a 77-76 come-from-behind win over Assumption College Feb. 18 on an offensive rebound. Demos had 25 points and 10 rebounds in that game to reach 1,008 points.

Ellen Conant Krohn of Brewer has ridden her 7-year-old Morgan gelding Jonathan Bond to a Maine Morgan Horse Club championship in Introductory Level Dressage for the Senior Division.

The duo placed fourth overall in the Maine Year End Dressage Award program in the Walk-Trot Division (Amateur Rider) and second overall for the Morgan Horse Breed Division.

Krohn will show Jonathan Bond in the Training Level Division during the 1993 season.
