Utica, NY - Seniors
Hannah Mackey (Locke, NY/Moravia Central) and
Alaina Stojkovski (Liverpool, NY/Cicero-North Syracuse) of the Utica College field hockey team were named 2014 Longstreth/NFHCA Division III All-Americans, released Monday. Mackey was a first team selection, while Stojkovski was a third team pick.
Mackey becomes the first payer in program history to be named an All-American in consecutive seasons after she earned third team honors last year. Mackey wrapped up her career as Utica's all-time leader in goals (84), points (199), and game-winning goals (23). This season, she set new conference single-season records for goals (36) and points (80) en route to being named both the Empire 8 Conference and the North Atlantic Region Player of the Year. Her goal total this season ranks 9th in NCAA Division III history.
Stojkovski is making her first appearance on an All-American team after she was named first team All-Region for the second straight year. She wrapped up her best season yet as she had a career-high 12 goals, including two game-winners, and 30 points while starting all 21 games this year. She is second all-time with 30 career assists. Stojkovski ranks fifth in program history with 96 career points. She is a four-time All-Conference selection, three-time All-Region member and was named the 2012 Empire 8 Tournament MVP.
Utica finished the season with an 18-3 record and its third straight Empire 8 Conference title. The Pioneers became just the second team in E8 history to win back-to-back-to-back Championships. UC also earned a berth in the NCAA Tournament and hosted a first round game for the third year in a row. UC suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the opening round, losing to Fairleigh Dickinson University-Florham 4-3 in overtime.
