GREENSBORO, N.C. — Four Boston College field hockey players were honored by the Atlantic Coast Conference as part of its 2021 All-ACC team, it was announced this afternoon.
Fusine Govaert was named First Team All-ACC, while a trio of Eagles - Sky Caron, Jonna Kennedy, and Sarah Johnson - were selected to the Second Team.
Govaert earned First Team All-ACC accolades for the third time in her career. This season, the graduate student tied for second in scoring, with 13 points - tallying five goals and three assists in 2021. She led the team in overall shots, and shots on-goal, while scoring two game winning goals. Govaert is a two-time NFHCA All-American and has been selected to represent the United States as part of the senior national team as it prepares for the 2022 Pan American Cup in January.
Caron posted four goals and two assists on the season, earning her second career all-conference honor. Anchoring the Eagles' defensive back line, the senior saw action in 15 games in 2021, putting 15 of her 27 shots on-goal for the year. She was a member of the U.S. U-21/22 Women's National Team, which captured the bronze medal in the Junior Pan American Championship in Santiago, Chile and will represent the U.S. at the Junior World Cup in South Africa in December.
Joining her on the All-ACC Second Team - and the U.S. Junior National Team this coming December - is goalkeeper Jonna Kennedy.  The senior ranked second in the ACC in saves per game, averaging 3.67 stops per outing. She posted a 10-5 overall record, a 1.79 goals-against average, and a .671 save percentage on the season. Kennedy was the ACC's Defensive Player of the Year and a First Team all-conference selection a season ago.
In her first season with the Eagles, Johnson led BC - and ranked 10th in the ACC - in scoring, with 17 points. She tallied six goals - two of which were game winners - and five assists, which ranked her eighth in the conference. The graduate transfer from Stanford logs all-conference recognition for the fourth time in her career. She was a three-time All-America East honoree with the Cardinal.
Boston College, the No. 4 seed in the 2021 ACC Field Hockey Championship, takes on fifth-seeded Virginia on Thursday, Nov. 4 at 1 p.m. The game can be seen live on ACC Network.
