Chandler, Ariz. – For 12th consecutive season, the St. Mary's College of Maryland field hockey team was recognized for their academic excellence with the Gladiator by SGI/NFHCA Division III National Academic Team Award.  The Seahawks were one of 103 NCAA Division III programs recognized by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association for earning a team GPA of 3.0 or higher during the 2010 campaign.

Along with St. Mary's being recognized as a team, nine Seahawk student-athletes were named to the 2010 Gladiator by SGI/NFHCA Division III National Academic Squad.  The National Academic Squad recognizes those student-athletes who have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or higher through the first semester of the 2010-11 academic year.  Since 2000, St. Mary's field hockey players have earned 142 national academic squad citations.

Of the nine student-athletes honored, one was a senior, three were juniors, four were sophomores, and one first-year.

Goalkeeper Lydia Garcia (Bowie, Md./Elizabeth Seton) was the lone senior while midfielder Sam Locke (Bethesda, Md./Bethesda-Chevy Chase) and defenders Kelsey McKeon (Street, Md./North Harford) and Jackie Reymann (Catonsville, Md./Catonsville) represented the junior class.

Representing the sophomores were midfielders Ellen Hackstaff (Denver, Colo./St. Mary's Academy), Natalie Hackstaff (Denver, Colo./St. Mary's Academy), Lauriann Parker (Woodbine, Md./Glenelg) and Katie Wisniewski (Perry Hall, Md./Perry Hall) while Olivia Caretti (Bel Air, Md./Patterson Mill) was the only first-year.

St. Mary's had a tremendous 2010 campaign, posting an 11-6 (6-1 CAC) overall record and finishing second in the league standings for the third time in program history.  The Seahawks also received the program's first-ever national ranking after starting the season with a 6-0 mark.
