STORRS, Conn. (November 15, 2005) - The University of
Connecticut field hockey team had four players added to the National
Field Hockey Coaches Association Division I All-Region team, including
three first team selections, which were announced this week. Seniors
Rebecca Helwig (Basking Ridge, N.J.) and Laura Puddle (London,
England) and Sophomore Lizzy Peijs (Venlo, Holland) represented the
Huskies on the Mideast Region First Team. This is the third consecutive year
Helwig has been a part of the first team and the second consecutive for Puddle.
Peijs was chosen as a member of the second team for the 2004 season.
Helwig ended her senior season with 12 goals ranking her second on
the team. She also dished out five assists and had four of the team's
five defensive saves on the season. Helwig finished third among
teammates in total points with 29. As the main playmaker for the
Huskies, Puddle recorded a team-high 15 assists which ties her for fifth in the
national rankings.
Peijs finished her sophomore season at Connecticut second in points
(31) and assists (11) and third in goals (10). She has started all 45
games of her career at UConn.
The lone Husky on the Mideast Region Second Team was junior
Meagan Hoffman (West Granby, Conn.) who, previously, was named the
2005 BIG EAST Field Hockey Tournament Most Outstanding Player. Hoffman
netted eight goals on the season while assisting on four. She was
fourth on the team in points with 20.
