From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moira Anita Senior (born July 22, 1976 in New Plymouth, New Zealand) is a field hockey striker from New Zealand, who finished sixth with her national team at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She made her return to international hockey in late 2004 after several years away from the game due to injury. Senior was named in the Champions Trophy side after completing the 2004 NHL as one of the top goal scorers. She scored eight goals for the Central Mysticks, who won the women’s title.

Senior missed selection for the USA tour in May 2005 to make way for developing players but was recalled to the side for the Champions Challenge in Virginia Beach in July. A shin injury prevented her from making the trip. She is one out of three players who survived from the Sydney team. The others are Diana Weavers and Suzie Muirhead.
