Maasdorp, McDavitt named All-Americans for Ivy champion field hockey

The season may be over, but the awards still haven’t stopped coming.

Two members of the Ivy League champion Harvard field hockey team earned All-America status yesterday on the strength of two record-setting campaigns.

Senior midfielder Shelley Maasdorp was named a second-team STX/NFHCA Division I All-American, while junior midfielder Jen McDavitt was named to the third-team.

For Maasdorp, who was picked to be a third-team All-American last season, this is just another feather in an already heavily decorated cap.

Maasdorp was named Ivy League Player of the Year on Nov. 9-—Harvard’s fourth-ever—after leading the Ancient Eight in scoring with 41 points, one shy of the Crimson’s all-time single-season mark.

Both Maasdorp and McDavitt were also named first-team All-Ivy and were distinguished as first-team 2004 STX/NFHCA Division I All-Region in the Northeast.

McDavitt led the Ivy League in assists with 18 helpers, breaking the school record for assists in a single-season.

Harvard’s season ended at Jordan Field on Nov. 13, falling to now three-time defending NCAA champion Wake Forest in the first round of the tournament by a score of 7-1.
