EVANSTON, Ill. - Northwestern student-athletes Maddy Carpenter, Charlotte Martin, Lisa McCarthy and Nikki Parsley are among 108 individuals competing at the USA Field Hockey Women's National Championship May 23-29 in Norfolk, Va.
A total of 24 players competing will gain selection to the U.S. National Team.

"This tournament represents the best players in the U.S. and it will be an amazing opportunity to play with and against some of the best players in our country," Northwestern head coach Tracey Fuchs said. "I look forward to coaching and watching our Wildcats as the compete for the USA National Championship in Norfolk. This is a great step for our program to have four players involved at this level."
