Ladino, Sullivan Named Longstreth/NFHCA All-Americans

Chandler, Ariz.  - Junior Jackie Ladino (North Dartmouth, Mass.) and senior Kerri Sullivan (Goffstown, N.H.) have both been named 2008 All-Americans by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association it was announced on Monday.

Ladino received first-team accolades following a season in which she set career-highs in goals (12) and points (34) and tied her career-high in assists (10). During a three-game stretch late in the season she posted 13 points and had six goals on her way to Northeast-10 Player of the Week honors. Already second on the school's all-time assists list (30), Ladino is a two-time Northeast-10 second team honoree.

Sullivan meanwhile, had another impressive season following a first-team All-America year in 2007. She earned her second straight first-team All Northeast-10 selection in a season where she led the Skyhawks with a career-high 11 assists. Her 25 points this season were also a career-best and the seven goals she registered tied a career mark. Sullivan was also named to the Northeast-10 All-Tournament team following the Skyhawks' 3-2 loss in the conference semifinals to UMass-Lowell.

She becomes just the second repeat All-American in program history joining Caitlin Gleason, who earned the honor in both 2006 and 2007. In the 13 seasons of the program, Stonehill now has nine All-Americans.

Stonehill's 2008 season ended in the Northeast-10 Tournament Semifinals at 13-8.
