<p><strong>NOVEMBER 21, 2012 </strong> &#8211; Stanford senior <strong>Becky Dru</strong> has been named a 2012 Longstreth/NFHCA All-American, earning the sport&#8217;s highest honor for the second consecutive season. Joining Dru on the All-American team was sophomore <strong>Kelsey Harbin</strong>, who was chosen as a third-team selection.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/photo_2012AllAmericans.jpg"><img src="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/photo_2012AllAmericans-300x146.jpg" alt="" title="photo_2012AllAmericans" width="300" height="146" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-425" /></a></p>
<p>A two-time First Team All-American, Dru was honored as the 2012 NorPac Player of the Year, earning the distinction for the second straight season and collecting her fifth conference award overall. A native of Buckinghamshire, England, Dru led the Cardinal in goals (12), assists (12), points (36), shots (65) and game-winning goals (3) this season. Arguably one of the most decorated players in school history, Dru totaled 54 goals, 36 assists, 144 points, 311 shots and 15 game-winning goals in 87 career games. </p>
<p>Harbin continued to emerge as one of the nation&#8217;s elite young players, tabbed an All-NorPac selection while earning the conference&#8217;s Defensive Player of the Year award. A native of Escondido, Calif., Harbin totaled 15 points (five goals, five assists) this year while attempting 34 shots and sharing the team lead with Dru in game-winning goals (3). In addition to racking up two defensive saves, Harbin scored Stanford&#8217;s first goal in NCAA Tournament play since 2010 during a 4-1 loss to North Carolina last weekend. Harbin started all but three games this year, missing time in mid-September while representing the U.S. team at the Junior Pan American Championships. </p>
<p>Dru, Harbin and junior Hope Burke were named NFHCA All-West Region selections last week. The West Region comprises schools such as California, Michigan, Iowa, Ohio State, Louisville, Northwestern and Michigan State. </p>

<p><strong>NOVEMBER 15, 2012</strong> &#8211; Eight NorPac student-athletes were named to the 2012 Longstreth/NFHCA All-Region teams, announced by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA). Stanford&#8217;s <strong>Becky Dru</strong> and <strong>Kelsey Harbin</strong>, along with California&#8217;s <strong>Lara Kruggel</strong> and Longwood&#8217;s <strong>Stacey de Grandhomme</strong> were selected to the first-team in their respective regions. Cardinal junior <strong>Hope Burke</strong>, Davidson senior <strong>Sarah Fisher</strong>, Liberty freshman <strong>Natalie Barr</strong> and Bear junior <strong>Shannon Elmitt</strong> garnered second-team honors.<br />
<a href="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/All_Region_Team_photos.jpg"><img src="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/All_Region_Team_photos-300x146.jpg" alt="photo" title="All_Region_Team_photos" width="400" height="195" class="wp-image-397" style="padding: 10px 0;" /></a>
</p>
<h5>South (First Team)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Stacey de Grandhomme (Midfielder/Longwood)</span><br />
This is the first All-Region First Team honor for Longwood since the institution transitioned to Division I prior to the 2007 season. The midfielder led the Lancers in 2012 with 17 goals and 38 total points. She was selected for the NorPac All-Tournament Team, as well as being named the NorPac East Division Player of the Year.</p>
<hr />
<h5>West (First Team)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Becky Dru (Defender, Stanford)</span><br />
This is Dru&#8217;s third recognition. A 2011 NFHCA First Team All-American, Dru will likely receive strong consideration for the nation&#8217;s highest award again this year. Dru was honored as the 2011 NorPac Player of the Year, earning the distinction for the second straight season and collecting her fifth conference award overall. A native of Buckinghamshire, England, Dru led the Cardinal in goals (12), assists (12), points (36), shots (65) and game-winning goals (3) in 2012. Arguably one of the most decorated players in school history, Dru totaled 54 goals, 36 assists, 144 points, 311 shots and 15 game-winning goals in 87 career games.</p>
<p><span class="green-bold">Kelsey Harbin (Defender/Stanford)</span><br />
Harbin continued to emerge as one of the nation&#8217;s elite young players, tabbed an All-NorPac selection while earning the conference&#8217;s Defensive Player of the Year award. A native of Escondido, Calif., Harbin totaled 15 points (five goals, five assists) this year while attempting 34 shots and sharing the team lead with Dru in game-winning goals (3). In addition to racking up two defensive saves, Harbin scored Stanford&#8217;s first goal in NCAA Tournament play since 2010 during a 4-1 loss to North Carolina last weekend. Harbin started all but three games this year, missing time in mid-September while representing the U.S. team at the Junior Pan American Championships.</p>
<p><span class="green-bold">Lara Kruggel (Forward/California)</span><br />
Kruggel was the most consistent offensive weapon on the Golden Bears this year and her abilities did not go unnoticed by opposing teams. She finished the season 11th in the nation in points per game at 2.20. She was tied for eighth in goals per game at .90. She led the NorPac conference in both categories. Kruggel had an historic season as a Golden Bear. Her 18 goals and 44 points are both fifth on Cal&#8217;s all time single season records list. For her career, Kruggel is now tied for eighth on the all-time list with 26 goals. She is tenth on the all-time points list with 67.</p>
<hr />
<h5>South (Second Team)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Natalie Barr (Midfielder/Liberty)</span><br />
The East&#8217;s Offensive Player of the Year, Barr finished the season with a team-best 16 goals, eight assists, 40 points, 100 shots and four defensive saves. She ended up second in the conference in points per game (2.0) and third in goals per game (0.8). Barr ranks tied for 18th in the nation in both points per game and goals per game. The midfielder also sits in 13th place in the country in defensive saves. Barr&#8217;s 16 goals and 40 points are the most among Division I freshmen this season.</p>
<p><span class="green-bold">Sarah Fisher (Goalkeeper/Davidson)</span><br />
Previously named the NorPac East Defensive Player of the Year, the senior finished the season with a pair of shutouts after helping hold four opposing teams scoreless. Fisher ended the season with a 2.43 goals against average and a save percentage of .749, ranking 16th in the NCAA in that category. Her 164 saves in 2012 pushed her into third place on Davidson&#8217;s all-time saves list. She departs as the program&#8217;s all-time leader in minutes, having played 4,678 in her four years.</p>
<hr />
<h5>West (Second Team)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Hope Burke (Forward/Stanford)</span><br />
Burke proved to be a reliable offensive weapon for the Cardinal, ranking second to Dru in goals (9), assists (9) and points (27). An All-NorPac selection for the first time in her career, Burke also attempted 35 shots while recording a pair of hat tricks during the year. A native of Selinsgrove, Ohio, native, started all 23 games for the Cardinal and will return as the team&#8217;s leading scorer in 2013.</p>
<p><span class="green-bold">Shannon Elmitt (Midfielder/California)</span><br />
Elmitt paced the Bears in assists this season. She tallied nine helpers on the season and recorded .50 assists per game, a mark good for a tie for 35th in the nation. Her 27 career assists rank her sevent on Cal&#8217;s all-time list. She also scored two goals on the season.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>NOVEMBER 7, 2012 &#8211; STANFORD, Calif </strong>- Back in the NCAA Tournament for the 12th time in school history and making its fifth appearance in the last six years, No. 11 Stanford (16-6, 6-0 NorPac) will square off against No. 1 North Carolina (23-2, 5-0 ACC) when opening-round action gets underway this weekend.</p>
<p>The game will be played in Chapel Hill, N.C., on Saturday, Nov. 10, at 8:30 a.m. PT. No. 8 Old Dominion and No. 9 Michigan face off in the second game at 11 a.m. PT. The winners will play each other on Sunday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m. PT.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/stanford_team1.jpg"><img src="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/stanford_team1-300x211.jpg" alt="photo" title="Becky Dru" width="300" height="211" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-388" /></a></p>
<p>The first-round pairing represents a rematch from earlier this season, when the Tar Heels defeated the Cardinal 6-2 back on Sept. 23 in Chapel Hill, N.C. In that game, then-No. 1 North Carolina held advantages in shots (18-6) and penalty corners (7-4) while Jessica Chisholmand Hope Burke tallied goals for the Cardinal.</p>
<p>Prior to defeating Miami (OH) 4-1 in an NCAA Play-In game on Tuesday afternoon, Stanford captured its fifth NorPac Championship crown in six seasons over the weekend. The Cardinal, which checks in at No. 17 in the latest edition of the RPI, has been a fixture in the national rankings all year and for all but one week since the start of the 2010 campaign. The Cardinal navigated through a grueling non-conference schedule, compiling a 2-5 mark against top-25 teams while facing off against the nation&#8217;s No. 1-ranked team at the time of the game on three different occasions.</p>
<p>North Carolina won the program&#8217;s 18th ACC Championship last Sunday on its home field, beating Maryland 4-2 in the final. The Tar Heels, shooting for their seventh NCAA title, have played in the NCAA Championship game in four of the last five years, winning titles in 2007 and 2009 and finishing as the runner-up to Maryland in overtime in 2010 and 2011.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Stanford is 0-11 all-time in NCAA Tournament competition. The Cardinal most recently qualified for the postseason last year, falling 5-0 at Duke in a first round match after earning an at-large bid for the first time in school history. Stanford also advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 1985, 1986, 1987, 1990, 1991, 1995, 2000, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011.</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s field includes 16 teams (five automatic bids, eight at-large berths and three play-in winners) competing in a single-elimination format. The 2012 NCAA Championship is slated for Nov. 16-18 in Norfolk, Va., and will be hosted by Old Dominion. </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>NOVEMBER 6, 2012 &#8211; FARMVILLE, Va. </strong>- No. 11 Stanford scored four unanswered first-half goals on the way to defeating Miami (OH) 4-1 on Tuesday afternoon in an NCAA Play-In game.</p>
<p>With the win, the Cardinal (16-6, 6-0 NorPac) punched its ticket to the NCAA Tournament and will learn its postseason status during the selection show tonight at 5 p.m. PT. The Cardinal will be making its 12th NCAA Tournament appearance in school history and fifth over the last six years. Stanford is seeking its first postseason victory.</p>
<p>Riding a season-high seven-game winning streak, Stanford is playing its best at the most important time of the year. The Cardinal qualified for Tuesday&#8217;s NCAA Play-In game after capturing its fifth NorPac Championship title in six years during a dominating three-day stretch.</p>
<p>Stanford held a 19-11 edge in shots, highlighting a balanced offensive attack in which 10 different players fired off at least one attempt.</p>
<p>The RedHawks (12-10, 4-1 MAC) owned a 7-6 advantage in penalty corners. Miami (OH) goalkeeper Sarah Mueller made 13 saves in the loss.</p>
<p>Olivia Miller&#8217;s unassisted goal in the fourth minute put Miami (OH) in front 1-0.</p>
<p>However, Stanford responded quickly, with Emily Henriksson&#8217;s goal at the 7:42 mark evening the game at 1-1.</p>
<p>The Cardinal would ultimately put the game out of reach, thanks to an impressive three-goal barrage spanning seven minutes late in the first half.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/Stanford_playin_win_Burke3.jpg"><img src="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/Stanford_playin_win_Burke3-300x214.jpg" alt="" title="Stanford_playin_win_Burke3" width="300" height="214" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-382" /></a></p>
<p>After Becky Dru converted on a penalty stroke at the 28:19 mark, Hope Burke scored the first of her two goals just over a minute later for a 3-1 lead.</p>
<p>Burke struck again for her second goal of the day just 22 seconds before intermission, tipping in a pass from Dru following a direct corner.</p>
<p>Burke, Dru and Henriksson each attempted three shots for Stanford.</p>
<p>Dulcie Davies made five saves in goal for the Cardinal, which improved to 4-1 all-time in NCAA Play-In games.</p>
<p>Tuesday&#8217;s contest was a rematch from earlier this year, when Stanford defeated Miami (OH) 3-0 back on Sept. 1 in a neutral-site game played in East Lansing, Mich. In that game, Katie Mitchell scored a pair of goals while the Cardinal tallied a commanding 22-4 advantage in shot attempts. </p>

<p><strong>FARMVILLE, Va. </strong> &#8211; No. 14 Stanford blanked Liberty 3-0 in the NorPac Championship final on Saturday afternoon, capturing its fifth conference tournament crown in six years and inching closer to its 12th NCAA Tournament appearance in school history.</p>
<p>After the last six NorPac Championship title games resulted in a Stanford-Cal matchup, the Cardinal was faced with a new challenge this year against conference newcomer Liberty, a fast-rising program in only its second year of existence.</p>
<p>The next step is familiar territory for Stanford (15-6, 6-0 NorPac). Because the NorPac Championship winner is not awarded an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, the Cardinal must participate in an NCAA Play-In game on Tuesday, Nov. 6, against the tournament champion from the MAC with a postseason bid on the line.</p>
<p>The stage is now set for a rematch between Stanford and Miami (OH), which defeated Kent State 2-1 earlier in the day in the MAC final. While the NorPac champion was originally designated as the host, the schools have received clearance from the NCAA to play the contest in Farmville, Va., in an effort to minimize travel and expenses. Stanford posted a 3-0 shutout of Miami (OH) back on Sept. 1 in a neutral-site game played in East Lansing, Mich.</p>
<p>So, Stanford will remain on the East Coast, excited to play one more game on the same field in which it just outscored opponents 11-2 over a dominating three-day stretch.</p>
<p>The Cardinal turned in another balanced offensive performance on Saturday, with 10 different players attempting at least one shot. Freshmen Maddie Secco and Lauren Becker scored in the last minute of the first half and first minute of the second half, respectively, while Becky Dru secured tournament MVP honors with an insurance goal in the 57th minute.</p>
<p>Saturday&#8217;s NorPac Championship felt different from the start. Stanford&#8217;s 6-2 semifinal victory against California on Friday squashed the possibility of a seventh straight final between the Bay Area programs. Instead, Liberty becomes only the second East Division program to reach the title game since Radford accomplished the feat in 2003.</p>
<p>After finishing 6-11 as an independent during its inaugural season in 2011, Liberty (16-6, 7-1 NorPac) entered this weekend&#8217;s tournament as the conference&#8217;s winningest team. Saturday&#8217;s loss to the Cardinal snapped a program-best eight-game winning streak.</p>
<p>The first half remained scoreless until the final minute, when Secco received a cross pass from Alex McCawley and fired it into the cage for her sixth goal of the year.</p>
<p>The Cardinal continued its momentum, extending its lead to 2-0 just 29 seconds into the second half. McCawley dished out her second assist, setting up Becker for her sixth goal with a deep pass from the right side.</p>
<p>In the 57th minute, Dru iced the game with her team-leading 11th goal of the year following a textbook penalty corner with assists from Shannon Herold and Hope Burke.</p>
<p>Dulcie Davies registered her seventh shutout of the year, making three saves in goal.</p>

<p><strong>RADFORD, Va. &#8211; OCTOBER 29, 2012 </strong> &#8211; No. 13 Stanford claimed its fourth straight regular season NorPac West Division title, while first-year member Liberty earned the East Division crown as the regular season concluded Sunday afternoon.

<p><strong>OCTOBER 29, 2012 </strong> &#8211; Following the final week of the regular season, Liberty, Longwood, California, Davidson and UC Davis were represented as the NorPac Conference announced its weekly award winners for contests played from Oct. 22-28 on Monday afternoon.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/NorPac_POW_Week10_2012.jpg"><img src="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/NorPac_POW_Week10_2012-300x146.jpg" alt="photo: Players of the Week 10" title="NorPac_POW_Week10_2012" width="300" height="146" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-329" /></a></p>
<p>Strong offensive performances by Liberty&#8217;s <strong>Natalie Barr</strong> and Longwood&#8217;s <strong>Stacey de Grandhomme</strong> played key roles in helping their respective squads to first and second place finishes in the East Division as did UC Davis&#8217; <strong>Nadia Namdari</strong> keying the Aggies to their highest regular season finish (second). Davidson&#8217;s <strong>Sarah Fisher</strong> grabbed the East&#8217;s defensive honor for the fifth time. California took home a pair of recognitions as <strong>Courtney Hendrickson</strong> and <strong>Clara Goni</strong> earned the defensive and rookie nods, while Lancer Kim Ruiter rounded out the recognitions with her first rookie plaudit.</p>
<p></p>
<h5>East (Co-Offensive)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Natalie Barr (Midfielder, Liberty)</span><br />
Barr tallied three goals and one assist as the Lady Flames clinched the East Division on the last day of the regular season.

<h5>East (Co-Offensive)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Stacey de Grandhomme (Midfielder, Longwood)</span><br />

<hr />

<hr />
<h5>East (Defensive)</h5>

Fisher finished the weekend with a 1.50 goals against average and a save percentage of .842 to help the team to a 1-1 record. She made a total of 16 saves, including four vs. Radford to pick up her second shutout win of the season. Fisher also had 12 stops in the season-finale against Liberty.</p>
<hr />
<h5>West (Defensive)</h5>

<hr />
<h5>East (Rookie)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Kim Ruiter (Forward, Longwood)</span><br />
Ruiter had a career day on Oct. 28 against Appalachian State. She led the squad to victory with two goals and two assists for six total points. She scored the first and fourth goal and also assisted on the second score of the contest.</p>
<hr />
<h5>West (Rookie)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Clara Goni (Midfielder, California)</span><br />

<p><strong>OCTOBER 23, 2012 </strong> &#8211; Coming off a combined 5-0 week, Liberty and No. 13 Stanford made a clean sweep as the NorPac Conference announced its weekly award winners for contests played from Oct. 15-21 on Tuesday afternoon. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/NorPac_POW_Week9_2012.jpg"><img src="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/NorPac_POW_Week9_2012-300x146.jpg" alt="" title="NorPac_POW_Week9_2012" width="300" height="146" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-304" /></a></p>
<p>The three victories by the Lady Flames put them atop the East standings after stellar performances from a trio of rookies, <strong>Natalie Barr</strong>, <strong>Mallory Cuccio</strong> and <strong>Abbey Basom</strong>. The Cardinal clinched the West after two triumphs, getting help from senior <strong>Becky Dru</strong>, sophomore <strong>Kelsey Harbin</strong> and <strong>freshman Lauren Becker</strong>.</p>
<p></p>
<h5>East (Offensive)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Natalie Barr (Midfielder, Liberty)</span><br />
Barr posted five goals and two assists as Liberty went 3-0 in league matches. She highlighted the week with a four-goal, one-assist performance against Appalachian State, setting new program records for single-game goals and points (9). She added a goal and an assist versus Davidson. Barr also chipped in defensively with two defensive saves last week. It marks her second offensive nod and third overall recognition this season.</p>
<hr />
<h5>West (Offensive)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Becky Dru (Defender, Stanford)</span><br />
Dru registered a goal each in Stanford&#8217;s league victories over UC Davis and Pacific. Her strike against the Aggies was the 50th of her career. She also charted eight total shots in the two contests. It is Dru&#8217;s second offensive  plaudit and fourth recognition in 2012. </p>
<hr />
<h5>East (Defensive)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Mallory Cuccio (Goalkeeper, Liberty)</span><br />
Cuccio recorded a pair of shutouts and 13 saves in three league contests. She charted a week-high six saves in a 2-0 win over Longwood and capped off the week with five stops in a 4-0 win over Davidson. Her two shutouts doubled her season total to four. This is her first weekly accolade this season.</p>
<hr />
<h5>West (Defensive)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Kelsey Harbin (Defender, Stanford)</span><br />
Harbin was part of Cardinal defense that held their opponents to just 12 shots, five on goal, in a pair of league wins that secured the regular season West division title. She also chipped in with an assist in each contest. Harbin is earning her first accolade this year.</p>
<hr />
<h5>East (Rookie)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Abby Basom (Forward, Liberty)</span><br />
Bason was another key contributor in Liberty&#8217;s 3-0 week, notching a point in every match and finished with three goals and three assists.  The rookie striker notched a goal and two assists against Appalachian State and followed that with two goals and an assist versus Davidson. It is the second time Basom has been acknowledged this season.</p>
<hr />
<h5>West (Rookie)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Lauren Becker (Midfielder, Stanford)</span><br />

<p><strong>OCTOBER 16, 2012 </strong> &#8211; Six institutions&#8217; student-athletes were recognized for their accomplishments, which included our first four-time honorees, as the NorPac Conference announced its weekly award winners for contests played from Oct. 1-7 on Tuesday afternoon.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/NorPac_POW_Week8_2012.jpg"><img src="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/NorPac_POW_Week8_2012-300x146.jpg" alt="photo" title="NorPac_POW_Week8_2012" width="300" height="146" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-244" /></a></p>
<p>Davidson senior goalkeeper <strong>Sarah Fisher</strong> and UC Davis freshman midfielder <strong>Jamie Garcia</strong> earned defensive and rookie honors for fourth time this season. Offensively, sophomores <strong>Jessica Diaz</strong> of Longwood and <strong>Lara Kruggel</strong> of California garnered recognition for the second time. Two first time winners round out the plaudits as Appalachian State&#8217;s <strong>Hanna French</strong> and Pacific&#8217;s <strong>Emily Trudeau</strong> grabbed rookie and defensive accolades, respectively.</p>
<p></p>
<h5>East (Offensive)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Jessica Diaz (Forward, Longwood)</span><br />
Diaz tallied a team-best two goals in the Lancers&#8217; 5-4 overtime victory at NorPac rival Radford. Her first goal of the contest came four minutes into the second half and then she notched the game-winner eight minutes into the first overtime session. It is the second recognition this season as she pushed her goal total to 10.</p>
<hr />
<h5>West (Offensive)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Lara Kruggel (Midfielder, California)</span><br />
Kruggel scored all six goals in two contests against Pacific last weekend. She found the back of the cage five times in a 5-0 Bears victory. Her career-best output was the second hat trick for the sophomore midfielder this season. With her six strikes, Kruggel now has a league-leading 15 goals and 32 points. </p>
<hr />
<h5>East (Defensive)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Sarah Fisher (Goalkeeper, Davidson)</span><br />
Fisher garnered her third straight recognition and fourth overall after a 25-save week between the pipes for Davidson. She registered a season-high 16 saves, including a stroke, and recorded her first shutout of the year in a 2-0 at Colgate. Fisher also tallied nine saves against then-No. 22 Wake Forest.</p>
<hr />
<h5>West (Defensive)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Emily Trudeau (Defender, Pacific)</span><br />
Trudeau made three defensive saves during the home-and-home series with California last weekend. After notching two on Friday night, Trudeau made her third on Sunday, a crucial stop in the 2-1 victory over the Bears. She also added an assist in the win. Trudeau now leads the NCAA with 11 defensive saves.</p>
<hr />
<h5>East (Rookie)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Hanna French (Forward, Appalachian State)</span><br />
French scored her first collegiate goal against Ball State on Sunday. The second half tally proved to be the game-winner as the Mountaineers earned their first shutout of the 2012 season with a 2-0 triumph at Ball State</p>
<hr />
<h5>West (Rookie)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Jamie Garcia (Midfielder, UC Davis)</span><br />
For the fourth time this season, Garcia garnered rookie honors. She registered a goal and an assist against Towson. Her helper brought her total to seven, tying her atop the league.</p>

<p><strong>OCTOBER 9, 2012 </strong> &#8211; Appalachian State, California, Davidson, Longwood and Stanford student-athletes were recognized as the NorPac Conference announced its weekly award winners for contests played from Oct. 1-7 on Tuesday afternoon.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/NorPac_2012_Week7.jpg"><img src="http://www.norpacfieldhockey.com/wp-content/uploads/NorPac_2012_Week7-300x146.jpg" alt="" title="NorPac_2012_Week7" width="300" height="146" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-228" /></a></p>
<p>Stanford&#8217;s <strong>Becky Dru</strong> and <strong>Maddie Secco</strong> took home the West&#8217;s offensive and rookie honors. It was Dru&#8217;s first offensive award, but third overall this season, while Secco earned her second straight. Cal&#8217;s <strong>Joelle van Hoorn</strong> and Davidson&#8217;s <strong>Sarah Fisher</strong> were selected as the West&#8217;s and East&#8217;s defensive players of the week for the third time each. Rounding out the East were first time offensive honoree <strong>Casey Lammando</strong> of Appalachian State and Longwood&#8217;s <strong>Jennifer Burris</strong>, who earned her second rookie nod. </p>
<p></p>
<h5>East (Offensive)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Casey Lammando (Defender, Appalachian State)</span><br />
Lammando recorded her first career hat trick and the fifth by a league player this season in a tough one-goal defeat to Longwood. She also assisted on the Mountaineers&#8217; other goal, tallying a season-high seven points.</p>
<hr />
<h5>West (Offensive)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Becky Dru (Defender, Stanford)</span><br />
Dru notched a pair of two-goal matches as the Cardinal earned league wins over UC Davis and on the road at Pacific. In both contests, she put then-No. 14 Stanford on the board. Against the Tigers, she gave her squad some breathing room with the third goal of the match. </p>
<hr />
<h5>East (Defensive)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Sarah Fisher (Goalkeeper, Davidson)</span><br />
For the second straight week and third time this season, Fisher garnered defensive honors after recording 20 saves in a pair of division wins last week. She capped off the week making 14 saves in a shootout win over Longwood, which also included her stopping the Lancers&#8217; final attempt in the shootout to secure the win. Earlier in the week, the senior made six saves in a 4-0 win over Appalachian State.</p>
<hr />
<h5>West (Defensive)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Joelle van Hoorn (Goalkeeper, California)</span><br />
Courtesy of a 19-save week, van Hoorn earned defensive honors for the third time this season. 17 of those season-high saves came in Cal&#8217;s defeat at then-No. 7 Penn State. Two days earlier, she earned a 2-0 shutout win over Robert Morris in which she had to make two stops for her third clean sheet.</p>
<hr />
<h5>East (Rookie)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Jennifer Burris (Forward, Longwood))</span><br />
Burris notched her second rookie nod after registering a goal and two assists in a pair of league contests. Both her helpers came in a 5-4 win at Appalachian State. She also notched a goal in a 3-2 shootout loss on the road at Davidson.</p>
<hr />
<h5>West (Rookie)</h5>
<p><span class="green-bold">Maddie Secco (Midfielder, Stanford)</span><br />
For the second straight week, Secco earned the rookie honors after tallying a goal in a 4-1 road win at Pacific. In her previous contest against UC Davis, she dished out an assist in the 5-0 triumph.</p>
