Â
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Seven Lehigh field hockey players have been named to the NFHCA National Academic Squad, as announced on Wednesday. Â These student-athletes were recognized for achieving a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or higher during the first semester of the 2013-14 academic year.
Â
Lehigh field hockey continues to enjoy success in the classroom. Ten Mountain Hawks earned a spot on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll. Koomar led the way with a 3.84 semester GPA while Steph Fratoni posted a 3.79 and Amie Diamond a 3.78. Fratoni was also named to the Academic All-Patriot League Team following the season.
Â
On the field, the Mountain Hawks made great strides in 2013, hanging tough against several nationally-ranked caliber opponents. Lehigh posted shutout victories over Georgetown and Towson while earning a big 2-1 win over Lock Haven. The Bald Eagles entered with a 10-3 record, two of the losses coming against top 10 squads North Carolina and Penn State. The Mountain Hawks were in every game, with their greatest margin of defeat being three goals.
Â
A talented group returns next season as 13 of the 14 players who recorded a point are underclassmen. Julia Ward returns in goal following a standout freshman campaign which saw her post a 2.98 GAA and .756 save percentage, along with a pair of shutouts.
