After winning the national championship in 2021 and finishing as the country’s runners-up in 2022, the talent of Northwestern field hockey is being recognized on the global scale.
On May 30, four Wildcats were selected to play for the 2023-24 U.S. Women’s National Team: senior Lauren Wadas, senior Maddie Zimmer, fifth-year Alia Marshall and incoming first-year Olivia Bent-Cole. The four joined 30 other teammates and will play under head coach David Passmore — and their own head coach, with Tracey Fuchs serving as an assistant for Team USA — competing in eight mini-tournaments against Great Britain, The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany in the FIH Hockey Pro League.
