MANAHAWKIN, NJ — The NFHCA is proud to recognize and celebrate an exceptional group of senior student-athletes for their achievements. Congratulations to the 38 athletes from 32 Division I institutions who have been named to the 2024 NFHCA Senior Team. This honor reflects not only their performances throughout the season, but also their enduring impact on and off the field. The NFHCA applauds their lasting contributions to the sport.
Brown University, Miami University of Ohio, Northwestern University, Saint Joseph’s University, Temple University, University at Albany, and University of Virginia each landed two student-athletes on the team.
The NFHCA is deeply grateful to longtime coach and donor Karren Mann for her generous contribution to the Senior Team awards experience, now and over the next nine years. Thanks to her support, each selected 2024 student-athlete will receive a personalized engraved award commemorating this special recognition. Mann has had a long and distinguished coaching career, specializing in training goalkeepers for both field hockey and lacrosse. Her expertise has led her players to achieve All-American and all-conference honors. Mann began her coaching career at her alma mater, the University of Mary Washington, in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The NFHCA is immensely grateful to Karren Mann for her gift and for her dedication to supporting the development and recognition of collegiate field hockey athletes and coaches.
