Utica, NY (12/2/13)- Junior Hannah Mackey (Locke, NY/Moravia Central) of the Utica College field hockey team was named a 2013 Longstreth/National Field Hockey Coaches Association Division III All-American, released Monday.  Mackey was a third team All-American, after being named first team All-Region and Empire 8 Tournament MVP earlier this year. 

Mackey is the second All-American from UC in as many years, joining classmate Louise Steele-Norton (Avondale, PA/Millbrook School), who earned first team status last season.  Mackey's 2013 campaign was her best yet as she collected a career-best 46 points including a career-high 19 goals. She finished first in the Empire 8 Conference in goals and second in points. She has earned All-Region status in each of her three seasons, including first team recognition the last two years.  In the last three seasons, Utica is 28-5 when Mackey scores at least one goal.  Her 119 points and 48 goals rank second all-time at UC. 

The Pioneers wrapped up their season with an overall record of 17-5, en route to their second straight Empire 8 Conference Championship, automatic NCAA Tournament birth, and NCAA "sweet sixteen" appearance.  UC also set new program records for wins (17), points (205), goals (77), and assists (49) in a season.
