NORFOLK, Va. - Old Dominion Field Hockey midfielder Frederique Zandbergen has etched her name into the ODU Field Hockey Record Book.
On Senior Day, Zandbergen found Tess Jedeloo with an accurate entry pass that was set by Rina Tsioles to secure her 54th assist. This broke a tie that was held between her and Dana Sensenig for #10 All Time at Old Dominion. A spot has not been changed since 2006 when Sensenig broke into the list herself.
“I am proud of Freddy for many things she has brought to ODU, and to our teams over the past four years. This accomplishment is just one of the special things she has done,” said ODU Head Coach Andrew Griffiths.
Zandbergen can still move further up the list heading into the BIG EAST Conference Tournament.
In the regular season finale, despite the loss, Zandbergen registered an assist from a penalty corner bringing her updated career tally to 55 total assists.
Sitting at #9 on ODU’s all-time assist leaderboard is Angie Loy with 56 assists.

“It is a notable achievement, especially in this era of college sports and Division 1 field hockey, which has become more and more competitive across the board over the past decade. To be in the top 10 with players from earlier eras is a significant accomplishment, and well deserved.” added Griffiths.

Zandbergen recorded five assists in her freshman year. After that, she never dropped below 15 in a season. She finished her sophomore season with 15, her junior year with 18, and currently has 17 in her senior and final season at Old Dominion.
ODU's next task will be to take on Temple in the BIG EAST Semifinals, November 8, 4 p.m. The Monarchs will look to even the season series after losing in overtime 1-0 on September 27, 2024.
