Eefke van den Nieuwenhof and Pieke van de Pas were named NFHCA First Team and Second Team All-Americans, respectively, Tuesday morning. This is SU’s fifth consecutive season with at least two All-Americans.
Van den Nieuwenhof tallied 14 goals, four assists and 32 points this season. She also led the country in penalty-stroke conversions this year, totaling six of her 14 scores from the hash mark. This was her fourth consecutive season being named an All-American.
In her first season at SU, van de Pas was named a Second-Team All-American totalling 11 goals and nine assists. Van de Pas became the first Syracuse All-American midfielder since 2021 when Pleun Lammers registered eight goals.
The NFHCA has now named at least one Syracuse field hockey player to its All-America team for 17 straight seasons.
