Newtown, Pa. — Marywood University placed three student-athletes on the All-MAC Freedom Field Hockey Team on Monday. Whitney Berge was selected to the Second Team, and both Brooke Barwick and Caitlin Petersen collected Honorable Mention laurels.
Berge scored four goals to earn her second straight Second Team All-Conference award. From the middle back position, Berge found the back of the cage against William Paterson, Albright, Immaculata and Misericordia. Her eight points were a career high.
Barwick tallied 12 goals and six assists for 30 points. She led the MAC Freedom with six game-winning goals and five shots per game. Barwick was third in goals and points, as well as fourth in assists. It is her second career All-Conference nod, previously garnering First Team All-Atlantic East honors last season.
Petersen earned All-MAC Freedom in her first season with the Pacers. The Indiana (Pa.) transfer tallied two defensive saves against the MAC Freedom finalists (DeSales and Stevens). A sophomore back helped keep opponents to 2.05 goals per game and four shutouts.
