All-Americans
GLEN
ALLEN, VA (Nov. 24, 2004) -- University of
Delaware field hockey players Leah Geib
(Schwenksville, PA/Souderton - right) and
Amanda Warrington (Lewes, DE/Cape Henlopen
- left) were named to the STX/NFHCA
All-America second team Monday.
This
season marks the third straight year that
Delaware has been represented on one of
the All-America teams, while six Blue Hens
have earned the honor since 1994. This is
also the first time since 1981 that two or
more players have been named to the team
from Delaware.
Geib,
a senior tri-captain and an Academic
All-American nominee, was named to the
STX/NFHCA All-Mid-Atlantic Region first
team and the All-Colonial Athletic
Association second team. She represented
Delaware in the North/South Senior
All-Star Game, and was named to the CAA
All-Tournament Team as the Blue Hens won
their first CAA championship.
A
conference player of the week selection on
September 20 and a womensfieldhockey.com
Honor Roll selection on October 24, Geib
recorded seven goals and seven assists on
the season to rank fourth on the team with
21 points. She recorded a key defensive
save in a 2-0 win over Princeton during
the regular season, and in the CAA
Tournament Semifinals scored the Blue
Hens' first goal against conference power
Old Dominion to tie the game and send it
into overtime.
Geib
started all 84 games in her four-year
career, tying a Delaware record with
fellow senior tri-captain Erica LaBar. The
Blue Hens have been nationally ranked in
all four of her seasons as a player,
reaching as high as No. 12 this year.
Warrington
was named the CAA Defensive Player of the
Year, and was also named to the All-CAA
first team and the STX/NFHCA
All-Mid-Atlantic Region first team. She
was named the CAA Championship Tournament
Most Outstanding Performer while earning a
spot on the All-Tournament team while
leading the Blue Hens to the title.
A
womensfieldhockey.com Player of the Week
and weekly honor roll selection in 2004,
Warrington ended the 2004 season with 10
goals and four assists to rank third on
Delaware with 24 points. She scored seven
goals in a five-game stretch between
September 22 and October 3, recording a
goal in each game, three of which were
game-winners. Warrington also scored the
first goal of the game in the NCAA
Tournament First Round game against
Maryland. Additionally,
Warrington has started all 45 games of her
collegiate career.
Delaware
went 15-7 this season, defeating
eight-time defending conference champion
Old Dominion, 2-1 in overtime, in the CAA
Tournament semifinals and knocking off
Hofstra, 5-1, in the final to win its
first ever CAA title.
The
Blue Hens then made their third NCAA
Tournament appearance in school history
and the first since 1998 as Delaware fell
to Maryland, 5-2, in the first
round.
