PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Three Lady Monarchs were named to the All-Colonial Athletic Association teams in a vote of the league's nine head coaches. The awards were presented Friday evening on the campus of Drexel University on the eve of the semifinals of the CAA Field Hockey Championships.
Senior's Kelly Driscoll and Hanna Warren were named Second Team All-CAA, while freshman Julie Hodge garnered an All-Rookie Team selection.
Driscoll led the CAA in saves this season with 116 and her 5.80 saves per game average was second in the league. She ends her illustrious Lady Monarch career with 25 shutouts.
Warren contributed heavily for ODU this season both offensively and defensively. She ranked second on the team and seventh in the CAA with seven assists on the year, while also recording a team-high four defensive saves.
Hodge made her lone goal of the season count, netting ODU's first goal of the game in the Lady Monarch's season finale victory against William & Mary. The freshman posted the score off a penalty shot just four minutes into the contest.
