Hammel Becomes First Two-Time First Team All-American in Program History

GILBERT, Ariz. - Senior co-captain Ally Hammel of the Boston University field hockey team has been named to the 2018 Longstreth/NFHCA Division I All-American First Team, it was announced on Tuesday. The Duxbury, Massachusetts, native becomes the first two-time first-team All-American in program history.

Hammel, the 2017 and 2018 NFHCA Division I Northeast Region Player of the Year, is the ninth Terrier to receive multiple All-America honors after becoming the first back in school history to earn first-team accolades in 2017.

A two-time Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year honoree, Hammel tallied a career-best 17 points on six goals and a team-best five assists while anchoring a defense allowed just 8.6 shots per game and held top-five teams Princeton and UConn to their second-lowest shot totals of the season. BU posted a 12-8 record and went a perfect 6-0 in league play for the second time in as many years.

Hammel participated in the NFHCA Division I Senior Game on Nov. 17 and was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Patriot League Championship after helping the Terriers win their third Patriot League title in four years. Hammel and the rest of her class never lost a conference game at home - posting a perfect 12-0 record - and captured the Patriot League regular-season title all four seasons.

Hammel was a unanimous All-PL First Team pick and a NFHCA All-Region First Team selection in each of the past two seasons. She finishes her stellar career with 56 career points on 22 goals and 12 assists in 83 contests.
