Hopkins, the NE-10 Goalkeeper of the Year and NE-10 All-Conference First Team and All-Rookie Selection, was named to the Second Team for her stellar freshman campaign in the cage. She broke the NCAA DII Record for goalkeeper shutouts in a single season (16), starting all 24 games and finishing the year with a 0.35 GAA and .911 save percentage.
She was also named to the NCAA All-Tournament team for allowing just one goal over the two-game stretch leading to the River Hawks’ second NCAA Championship in program history.
Hopkins is the daughter of Julie Ann Hopkins of Harwich, Mass. and John Hopkins, Sr. of Wakefield, Mass.
Head Coach Shannon Hlebichuk has now coached 35 All-Americans in her nine years at the helm of the UMass Lowell field hockey program. Her team’s single-season highest number of selections was previously five (in 2004 and 2005), a mark which was broken by this year’s six-member selection class.
The River Hawks secured the program’s second NCAA Division II National Championship on Saturday, completing their perfect 24-0 season. The squad will be honored in a “Celebrating Perfection” rally held at the Tsongas Center on Friday, Dec. 10 at 3:00 p.m. More information is available on www.GoRiverHawks.com(.)
