CHANDLER, Ariz. – The NFHCA rounded out its academic honors Monday by naming eight University of Delaware field hockey student-athletes to its National Academic Squad for their work in the classroom.
The 2014 Gladiator/NFHCA National Academic Squad recognizes individuals who have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or higher during the first semester of the 2014-15 academic year, which is possibly the busiest time of the year for the student-athletes as they are amidst their championship season.

The Blue Hens were honored as a 2014 Gladiator by SGI/NFHCA Division I National Academic Team earlier this month.
Delaware finished the 2014 campaign with a record of 13-9 while picking up their second straight CAA title and NCAA Tournament appearance.
