MM 12.15: Maryland field hockey’s Brooke DeBerdine and Hope Rose earn NFHCA All-American honors

Maryland field hockey had two players named to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association’s All-American Teams on Tuesday. Senior midfielder and team captain Brooke DeBerdine was named to the First Team and freshman forward Hope Rose was named to the Second Team.

This season, DeBerdine became the first Maryland field hockey player to start 100 games in her career and had six goals and nine assists. This came as no surprise, as in 2020 she was named to the NFHCA All-American Third Team and the All-Big Ten First Team. She continued to rack up awards in 2021, not only being included on the NFHCA All-American First Team but also the All-Big Ten First Team as well as being named the NFHCA Mid Atlantic Regional Player of the Year.

Rose started her Terps career in an impressive fashion, leading all Big Ten freshmen in scoring with ten goals and six assists. She was named to the All-Big Ten Second Team and was Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Rose was also named Big Ten Freshman of the Week three separate times over the course of the season.

Both players competed with Team USA this year, DeBerdine with the U.S. Senior National Team and Rose with the US U-22 Team which won a bronze medal in the Junior Pan American Championships.
