Six Draw NFHCA All-Region Honors

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Six Boston College field hockey players earned National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) All-Northeast Region honors, the organization announced on Tuesday.

Sophomores Ymke Rose Gote and Frederique Haverhals drew first-team honors, while seniors Audra Hampsch, Emily McCoy, Eryn McCoy and sophomore Lucy Lytle were second-team performers.

The Eagles led all programs with six northeast selections.

The honors add to an already successful season for Gote, Hampsch, Haverhals and Emily McCoy, who all previously earned All-ACC honors earlier this month.

Gote was one of the Eagles' key cogs in the midfield, influential in both outletting and defending. She was also a prime outlet on both attacking and defensive penalty corners. Gote started all 20 games and collected a career-high five assists while matching her freshman total of 10 points.

Haverhals started all 20 games at center back and finished the season fourth on the Eagles in scoring with 17 points (5 goals, 7 assists). Like Gote, she was a constant presence on both attacking and defensive penalty corners and was the conference's co-defensive player of the week on Oct. 11 for her play in the Eagles' two road wins at No. 8 Louisville and Indiana. This is Haverhals' second all-region honor after claiming second-team accolades as a freshman in 2015.

Hampsch played her only season in the Eagles' cage this year as a senior, and finished the year leading the ACC with 5.40 saves per game in all contests. Hampsch posted a pair of shutouts this season, and made at least six saves in 10 games this season. She capped her career making a career-high 10 saves against Connecticut in the NCAA Tournament first round on Nov. 12 in Syracuse.

Emily McCoy picked up her third all-region honor of her career. A mainstay on the Eagles' attack, McCoy finished the season with five goals and 13 points while starting all 20 games. She earned second-team All-ACC honors and finished her career tied for 10^th on the Eagles' career goals chart (34) and 11^th on the career points ranking (84). She was also the ACC Offensive Player of the Week on Nov. 1 after standout performances against No. 16 Harvard and No. 3 Connecticut.

Eryn McCoy also picked up her third career all-region honor this year. The senior finished her final campaign with 18 points (7 goals, 4 assists) to rank third on the team. She started all 20 games this season. She had a hat trick at Northeastern and later added a goal and an assist at No. 8 Louisville in a 3-1 win.

Lytle earned her first all-region honor after leading the Eagles in goals this season. She potted 12 goals, the team's highest total since Janna Anctil had 14 in 2010. Lytle had two multiple-goal games (against Massachusetts and at Providence) and posted a team-best six-game goal-scoring streak from Sept. 18 through Oct. 9.

Boston College finished the season with a 10-10 record and advanced to its 11^th NCAA Tournament in program history. BC went 3-3 in ACC play – matching its best-ever finish in the conference – and also drew the No. 3 seed in the ACC Championship, its highest-ever seed.
