Boston University Athletic Hall of Fame
A two-time All-American who went on to play for the U.S. National Team, Robyn Kenney ('01) helped BU's field hockey team earn back-to-back conference titles and NCAA appearances. Kenney, a four-year starter, currently ranks in the top-six all-time in starts (84) and games played (85). As a Terrier midfielder and back, Kenney earned National Field Hockey Coaches Association Second Team All-America honors as a senior and third-team honors as a junior. She is one of seven Terriers to receive NFHCA Regional First Team accolades in three seasons. After winning the America East championship as a junior, Kenney and the Terriers successfully defended the title the following year and she was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.
In 1999, Kenney was named to the U.S. Under-20 National Team, becoming the third-ever Terrier alongside current BU Hall of Famers Sally Maxwell ('90) and Michele Barnard ('97) to compete with a U.S. National squad in international competition. She moved up the ranks and eventually retired from the USA Field Hockey National Team in 2006, having played in 37 matches since 2002. She helped the U.S. reach the 2006 World Cup with a fourth-place finish at the World Cup qualifier and also played in the Pan American Games and Champion's Challenge.
