WOMEN’S HOCKEY: Former University of New Hampshire coach Brian McCloskey admitted he assaulted a player during a 2013 home game.

Strafford County Attorney Tom Velardi said McCloskey made the admissions in writing Tuesday as part of a diversion program that requires him to take anger management classes and perform 100 hours of community service.

He admitted pulling a player’s jersey, prompting her to land on her back on the bench. After causing her to fall, he held her face mask with his hand.

She was not seriously injured.

Williams made the announcement in an article she wrote for Time.com, saying she would “proudly return to Indian Wells in 2015.” Williams also looked back on the last time she played in the tournament, an experience that hurt her deeply, she said.
