National Team Includes Locals

Following evaluation at the Young Women's National Championship (YWNC), held at the Virginia Beach Regional Training Center in Virginia Beach, Va., U.S. Women's National Field Hockey Team head coach Anthony Farry and his staff have named the 2021-22 U.S. Women's National Team roster. This squad comprises 36 athletes.

The YWNC, held from June 15 through 20, offered four days of competition and two training days as the opportunity for selection was on the line. The pool of athletes consisted of top collegiate and post-collegiate players and members of the 2019-20 U.S. Rise and U-21 Women's National Teams as well as the U.S. National Development Team and 2020 US Women's National Team.

Leading the squad with the most international experience is a trio of athletes: Ashley Hoffman of Mohnton, Lauren Moyer of York and Amanda Magadan of Randolph, N.J. They are joined by Erin Matson of Chadds Ford, who was named the 2021 YWNC Player of the Tournament and received the Honda Sports Award for field hockey.

Three goalkeepers were named to the squad, including Jenny Rizzo of Hershey. Rizzo was added after serving three years on the development team.
