The season may be over, but the awards still haven’t stopped coming.
Two members of the Ivy League champion Harvard field hockey team earned All-America status yesterday on the strength of two record-setting campaigns.
Senior midfielder Shelley Maasdorp was named a second-team STX/NFHCA Division I All-American, while junior midfielder Jen McDavitt was named to the third-team.
For Maasdorp, who was picked to be a third-team All-American last season, this is just another feather in an already heavily decorated cap.
Maasdorp was named Ivy League Player of the Year on Nov. 9-—Harvard’s fourth-ever—after leading the Ancient Eight in scoring with 41 points, one shy of the Crimson’s all-time single-season mark.
Both Maasdorp and McDavitt were also named first-team All-Ivy and were distinguished as first-team 2004 STX/NFHCA Division I All-Region in the Northeast.
McDavitt led the Ivy League in assists with 18 helpers, breaking the school record for assists in a single-season.
Harvard’s season ended at Jordan Field on Nov. 13, falling to now three-time defending NCAA champion Wake Forest in the first round of the tournament by a score of 7-1.
