NFHCA All-Region Teams

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The TCNJ field hockey team placed five players on the NFHCA All-Region Teams, as announced Wednesday morning by the organization.
 
Jadyn Huff, Heather Kimak, Brigitte Racey, and Rachael Tetzlaff were all named to the First Team, while Mackenzie Hart rounded out the high-five with a spot on the Second Team.
 
With the exception of Racey, a second team All-Region performer in 2024, each Lion standout earned their first career All-Region accolade.
 
Huff adds another elite honor to her resume following her selection as NJAC Offensive Player of the Year. The junior, who led TCNJ in assists (13) while ranking second in goals (11) and points (35), topped the NJAC with seven assists in conference play – three more than any other player – while ranking second to Hart with 17 points. She scored two goals against Kean and went off for two goals and three assists versus Ramapo. Huff ranked 13^th in Division III at 0.67 assists per game.
 
Kimak makes her all-region debut after another stellar season on the Lions' back line. The senior paced TCNJ in minutes played (1,193) and started every game for the second year in a row, serving as a key cog for a defensive unit that ranked 15^th nationally in goals-against average (0.95) and blanked nine different opponents.
 
Racey became the first TCNJ netminder to claim NJAC Goalkeeper of the Year recognition since Christina Fabiano in 2017. Racey was an easy choice, posting three solo shutouts in league play and leading the conference by a wide margin in both goals-against-average (.484) and save percentage (.850). For the season, Racey was 12^th in the nation with an .841 save percentage and was 14^th in GAA (0.95). She logged six solo clean sheets in 2025, giving her 16 for her career, and finished fourth in program history with 246 career saves.
 
Tetzlaff was the Lions' last line of defense and a critical weapon on both offensive and defensive corners. She was tied for 9^th in all of Division III with 10 defensive saves, just one off the single-season school record, and Tetzlaff already owns the program's all-time record with 16 for her career. Also an important piece on offensive corners, Tetzlaff provided two goals and five assists. The sophomore has started every game of her first two collegiate seasons.
 
Hart enjoyed a breakout campaign in which she posted conference highs in both goals (8) and points (18) in the Lions' six league contests. Hart had a point in every NJAC game and scored a goal in all but one of them, including a hat-trick against Montclair State and two goals versus William Paterson. Hart paced the pride with 16 goals and 36 points for the year.

TCNJ extended its streak of seasons with at least four All-Region honorees to 11 dating back to 2015. Division III teams are separated into six regions and each of these regions recognizes up to 16 student-athletes on both the first team and second teams.
 
The NFHCA Division III All-Region team announcement is the first in a list of NFHCA postseason awards over the next several weeks. Next to be announced are the NFHCA Regional Players of the Year on December 11, followed by the NFHCA All-American teams on December 16 and the NFHCA National Player of the Year on December 18.
