EASTON, Mass. (November 16, 2021) – Three Stonehill College seniors are among 38 from NCAA Division II selected to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Senior Team, the organization announced.
Stonehill seniors Elisha Brinkman, Abigail Campbell and Emma Mawn represent Stonehill on the NFHCA Division II Senior Team for 2021. The trio are among 16 from the Northeast-10 Conference selected to the Senior Team. The selected student-athletes were nominated by their NFHCA member coach and chosen based on their career accomplishments.
The members of the 2021 Division II Senior Team were initially announced during a live video presentation featuring member coaches. In lieu of the traditional coach-led trophy presentation at the NFHCA Senior Games — which were cancelled due to limitations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic — coaches were given the opportunity to announce the name of their Senior Team honoree(s). In addition to the video announcement, a custom t-shirt featuring the names of all Senior Team members was created in honor of the award and will be delivered to each honoree — along with a commemorative trophy — in the coming weeks.
Brinkman, a team captain this fall, earns a spot on the 2021 NFHCA Senior Team after being selected to the All-NE10 second team this season. The Stonehill captain earned All-Conference honors for the first time after playing all 18 games this fall, starting 17, as a vital two-way player for the Skyhawks in midfield. She has totaled three goals and four assists for ten points, ranking second on the team in assists, while contributing a defensive save. Brinkman recorded a goal and assist in wins over Southern New Hampshire University on September 28 and Southern Connecticut State University on October 29.
