Berkshire Eagle: "Success for Dooley in new sport"

Berkshire Eagle sportswriter Howard Herman recently caught up with Bentley University freshman Tara Dooley to discuss her transition from a high school player who competed in basketball, soccer and lacrosse into the Northeast-10 Women's Cross Country Freshman of the Year. Here's his story, which appeared in the Oct. 30 edition of the paper and on the paper's website at www.berkshireeagle.com.
