Following the first national championship in program history, five members of the University of Delaware field hockey team were named to the Longstreth/National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Division I All-Mid-Atlantic Region squad.

The Blue Hens, who finished the year with a 19-game winning streak and an overall mark of 23-2, had three players on the first team and two on the second team.

“Winning the national championship was a true team accomplishment," said UD head coach Rolf van de Kerkhof. "Looking back on our journey, it has been an amazing season in which our players group utilized every hockey and team moment to become stronger physically and mentally, and more consistent and mature technically and tactically. As a team is a collection of individuals, I am very excited that the Division I coaches and the NFHCA Regional All-American Committee have selected five great Blue Hens to represent our team and program on the Mid-Atlantic regional teams. Congrats to Taylor, Greta, Esmée, Lisa and Emmeline for their contributions to our team this season and earning the recognition from the Division I coaching community.”
