Sports Briefs | Field hockey team recognized for academic achievement
The Vassar field hockey team has been honored for its players’ outstanding academic achievements. The National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) annually recognizes college teams with high collective GPAs; in 2007, Vassar ranked at the top of the list in Division III with a team GPA of 3.58, beating out other top-rankers Springfield College (3.49), Eastern University (3.46), York College of Pennsylvania (3.46) and Connecticut College (3.44).
In addition, 18 team members were part of the NFHCA National Academic Squad, which honors student athletes with a GPA of 3.30 or better in the first semester of the academic year. This is the fifth consecutive year in which the team has been recognized by the NFHCA for excellence in academics.
