Weston, Mass.-The National Field Hockey Coaches Association named junior Micaela Lynch (Lyndonville, VT), sophomore Laura Malloy (Windham, NH), junior Maria Mendes (Brockton, Mass.), and junior Maria Pino (Revere, Mass.) to its annual all-academic squad.

"The field hockey has always been committed to academic excellence," said Head Coach Heather Gilmour.

"Each year we have had several players honored by the National Coaches Association as members of the academic squad."

Gilmour coordinates and oversees the study hall program for all athletic teams for Regis College, while Mendes serves as her student assistant.
