Another honor for field hockeyMichigan freshman Jessica Rose, who led the Michigan field hockey team to its first NCAA Tournament appearance ever, now has another accomplishment to tack on to her young resume. Rose's offensive prowess earned her a spot on the U.S. Women's field hockey under-21 team after a week-long selection camp at Rutgers on December 27-31. Rose was one of 22 athletes chosen for the national squad, which will make the trek to Bridgetown, Barbados in April to compete at the Pan American Junior Championships. The tournament will serve as the qualifier for the Junior World Cup in Buenos Aires in 2001. The freshman, who turned 19 on January 5, played for the 1999 U.S. under-20 team last year, but she bypassed the under-19 team this year making the under-21 squad. Rose started all 27 games for the Wolverines, tallying nine goals and 22 assists. She was key in Michigan's NCAA Tournament run, as she not only scored Michigan's lone goal in the NCAA championship game, but she also dished the game-winning assist against undefeated Connecticut in the semi-final to end the Huskies' title hopes.
Crumpton named to freshman teamThe accolades continue to roll in for Michigan forward Abby Crumpton. She was named to Soccer Buzz Magazine's All-Freshman team last week. Crumpton became the third Wolverine ever to receive the honor following her twelve-goal and eight-assist season. She was Michigan's second-leading scorer, and she helped lead the team to a Big Ten tournament title.
