Senior goalkeeper Amy Wasserman (St. Louis, Mo. / Ursuline Academy) was named first-team All-Atlantic 10 Conference to headline the Saint Louis field hockey team's all-league selections in voting conducted among the conference's head coaches. Sophomore forward Molly Boyne (Escondido, Calif. / San Pasqual) earned honorable mention honors, while freshman forward Kelsey Shultz (St. Louis, Mo. / Villa Duchesne) and freshman midfielder Alex Weber (Prospect, Ky. / Country Day) were named to the All-Rookie Team. In addition, Wasserman and senior forward Catherine Donovan (St. Louis, Mo. / Cor Jesu) were selected to the Academic All-Conference team. "It is wonderful that the league coaches saw the talent on our team, especially considering how young we were this season," head coach Marcie Boyer said. "This shows we have a bright future with Molly earning honorable mention honors as a sophomore and Kelsey and Alex named to the All-Rookie team. Amy had some great A-10 games, and it is nice that the coaches saw and recognized what an outstanding goalkeeper she is for us. Plus, Amy and Cat have worked so hard on the field and in the classroom, and it is nice that they were selected for the All-Academic team."
