Hampsch, McVeigh Named CSC Academic All-District Finalists
7/2/2024 9:47:00 AM | Field Hockey
DURHAM – Duke field hockey All-Americans Piper Hampsch and Alaina McVeigh continue to reap awards, earning CSC Academic All-District At-Large recognition as announced by College Sports Communicators. Hampsch and McVeigh were selected as finalists and advance to the national ballot for CSC Academic All-America.
Hampsch and McVeigh are the first members of the Blue Devil field hockey program to earn the honor since Robin Blazing. Lauren Blazing is the lone CSC Academic All-American in program history, earning the award three times.
NCAA and NAIA Women's At-Large Academic All-America® First-, second- and third-team honorees will be announced Tuesday, July 16. The Division II and III CSC Academic All-America® programs are partially financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures to assist CSC with managing the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2023-24 Divisions II and III Academic All-America® programs.
The 2023 ACC Goalkeeper of the Year, Hampsch turned in the best season of her career en route to earning NFHCA All-America third-team honors. She led the ACC with a .762 save percentage and a 1.02 goals against average. In the six ACC regular season contests, Hampsch and the Blue Devils allowed just five goals, tying for the fewest in ACC play in Duke history. The Hopedale, Mass., native helped Duke post eight shutouts on the season, marking the most since the 2003 squad had eight.
Averaging just over three saves per game this past season, Hampsch ranks fifth in Duke history with 284 career saves. Her 1.02 goals against average in 2023 is the fourth lowest in Duke single-season history while her 1.01 goals against average in 2023 is fourth in Duke program history and ranked third nationally. The previous lowest goals against average in the past 10 years was 1.13 in 2019.
Hampsch's academic resume is just as impressive. The Hopedale, Mass., native graduated from Duke in just over three years and is amidst finishing her Master of Management Studies at Duke's Fuqua School of Business. She serves as the Chair of the ACC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and is the President of Duke's SAAC board. Hampsch finished her graduate program with a 3.56 GPA and turned in an impressive 3.52 GPA in her undergraduate studies.
McVeigh had one of the best individual seasons in recent Duke field hockey history, helping lead the Blue Devils to the NCAA semifinals. Seeing the field for the first time in her Duke career, McVeigh burst onto the collegiate field hockey scene in leading the Blue Devils with an ACC-best 17 goals en route to garnering the ACC Co-Offensive Player of the Year award and NFHCA First-Team All-America honors.
She scored at least one goal in 14 games and had the winning marker in five, including a pair of overtime goals. McVeigh's 17 goals are tied for 16th in Duke single-season history and are the most since Rose Tynan had 17 in 2017. Her 37 points are 25th in a single season in program lore and the most since Tynan's 37 in 2017. The native of Landsdale, Pa., was the second Blue Devil to garner ACC Offensive Player of the Year recognition since the award started in 2004.
McVeigh's efforts in the classroom are unmatched as she sports a 3.94 cumulative grade point average. She garnered NFHCA Scholar of Distinction recognition and was named the NFHCA Division I National Scholar Athlete award for having the highest cumulative grade point average through the first semester of the academic year.
The Blue Devils had one of the best seasons in history, finishing the regular season with an 18-5 overall record and a No. 3 ranking in the NFHCA poll. Duke won a share of the ACC regular season title. Coming off a 7-11 season in 2022, Duke's 18 wins marked an improvement of 8.5 to rank tied for 12th in NCAA history.
