Tuesday, January 18, 2011 Player Information Sparks News
Rogers has excelled both on the hardwood and in the classroom in order to earn her opportunity to wear the purple and gold next season. Megan has a brilliant basketball resume which includes winning a Section II Championship in 2009 and playing a huge role in the Class AA State Championship game in 2010. She also lead her 2010 Sparks team to an eleventh place finish at the USA Invitational at Penn State University last summer.
We are all proud of Megan’s accomplishments as a member of the Saratoga Sparks and wish her the best as she moves into the college ranks. We would also like to thank her parents, Eileen and John, who have donated their time and talents over the years to help our organization grow in the right direction.

Megan Rogers is an offensive threat with a stick in her hands, and a defensive force without one. It just depends on the season, and the sport she’s playing. “I have different roles. In field hockey, I’m a scorer. In basketball, my game is defense. That’s what I’m good at,” the Shenenendehowa High School senior said. “I love doing the dirty work.” That willingness to dig in has been a big part of her success this fall. Despite constant harrassment and some double-team eforts, Rogers has piled up 21 goals, including 12 in Shenendehowa’s last seven games.
“She worked a lot in the offseason to become better and stronger, and it’s paid off. She’s having a great year, an unbelievable year,” said Shenendehowa field hockey coach Jeanne Frevola. “Imagine if she concentrated on just field hockey. She’d be scary.”
Rogers’ grit and court smarts helped Shenendehowa win a Section II basketball title last winter, and the 17-year-old is doing her best to lead the school to another crown this fall with hard, accurate drives and feeds to her teammates. The forward scored two goals and set up another Thursday, and the Lady Plainsmen took their first step with a 7-0 sectional quarterfinal win against Bethlehem. Read More...

Sparks Finish 11th at the Penn State USA Invitational
Saturday, July 24, 2010 Tournaments
The Saratoga Sparks 16U team traveled to State College PA this past week and finished up their 2010 campaign by finishing 11th out of the 64 teams in the Southern Bracket of the Bluechip USA Invitational Tournament. The Sparks finished with a 4-2 record while turning the heads of many college coaches.
Niskayuna’s Ashley McCaughan, Shenendehowa’s Megan Rogers and Mandi Edick and Queensbury’s Alexis Perryman were all named game MVP’s.
The week was terrific for the Sparks who spent much of the season being haunted by their coach about the importance of winning the first game of the tournament. Pressure was applied at every practice and a website was created as a constant reminder that winning the first game at Penn State would split the tournament field in half, assuring the Sparks games against the best competition in their bracket.
