CHANDLER, Ariz. - The 2008 Longstreth/National
Field Hockey Coaches Association Division III All-American teams
were announced and Salisbury University had two players honored.
Sophomore midfielder Kandice Hancock was named to
the second team and junior forward Lauren Correll
was distinguished as a third-team All-American. The two selections
now give the SU program 80 All-Americans since 1974.
Hancock earns her first-ever All-American award after a season
where the No. 7 Sea Gulls went 15-4 and the midfielder was named
the 2008 Capital Athletic Conference Co-Player of the Year. The
All-South region first team member tallied 10 goals and added five
assists for the Sea Gulls this season. Hancock ranks sixth in the
conference in both shots (57) and shots per game (3.0). The
sophomore midfielder is tied for third in the CAC with four
game-winning goals. The Westover, Md., native was named CAC Player
of the Week on September 15 after she tallied four goals and scored
the game-winner against No. 13 Christopher Newport University. With
40 games under her belt, the two-time All-CAC first team midfielder
will enter her junior season with 15 goals, 16 assists and 46
points.
Correll is an All-American for a second straight year as she has
already been named to the '08 All-South region first team. In 2007,
Correll was honored as second team All-American. The junior
co-captain had an outstanding campaign for the Sea Gulls as she led
the team in goals (18) and points (38). The Bridgeville, Del.,
native leads the CAC in goals per game (0.95), shots (103) and
shots on goal (75). Correll's 0.95 goals per game ranks 26th in the
nation. Correll averaged 2.0 points per game. She was selected as
the CAC Player of the Week on September 29 as she scored the final
goal in SU's 2-0 victory over No. 7 Rowan University on September
24. The two-time All-CAC first team forward will enter her senior
season with 58 goals, 14 assists and 130 points. Her point total
ranks seventh all-time in school history.
Hancock and Correll continue the 28 year streak of at least one
Salisbury field hockey player being named All-American. SU coach
Dawn Chamberlin has coached 50 All-Americans in
her 22 season reign.
