PRINCETON, N.J. – After a record-breaking and historic 2025 regular season, No. 3 Harvard field hockey was well represented in the Ivy League awards and All-Ivy League teams, as the Crimson swept the individual awards as eight student-athletes garnered All-Ivy League nods.

For the first time, Harvard's acclaimed coaching staff, comprised of head coach Tjerk van Herwaarden and assistant coaches Lauren McNally, Kiley Allen and John Griffin, earns the Ivy League Coaching Staff of the Year award. The Crimson's coaching staff guided Harvard to its eighth Ivy League regular season championship and several remarkable milestones as well. Harvard finished the regular season with a 16-0 record, marking the first perfect regular season campaign in Ivy League history, as the Crimson also set new program records for longest winning streak (16), most wins on the road (11) and most wins against ranked opponents (7). Previously, van Herwaarden earned the Ivy League's Coach of the Year award four times.

One of the most accomplished and skilled defenders in the nation, senior defender Bronte-May Brough is the Ivy League's Defensive Player of the Year, as the Uttoxeter, England native is the first student-athlete in Ivy League history to earn the award multiple times. Brough anchors a Crimson defensive unit that is one of the best in the nation, as Harvard is third in goals against average (0.61), third in goals allowed (10) and seventh in shutouts per game (0.44) nationally. A focal point of Harvard's attacking penalty corner strategy, Brough has also recorded five goals, two assists and 12 points. Along with her Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year honors, Brough is an All-Ivy League First Team selection for the fourth time in her decorated Crimson career.

After orchestrating a breakout regular season, junior forward Sage Piekarski is the Ivy League Co-Offensive Player of the Year, as she shares the award with Princeton's senior midfielder Beth Yeager. Appearing in all 16 contests for the Crimson's talented and explosive attack, Piekarski led the Ivy League with a career-high 12 goals, as the Concord, Massachusetts native also recorded a career-high 27 points and matched her career-high in assists with three. Piekarski's 12 goals represents the most for a Crimson since 2022, when Brough tallied 12 on her way to the 2022 Ivy League Rookie of the Year award. Piekarski is the first Crimson to garner Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year status since Bente van Vlijmen '20 in the 2019, as Piekarski receives All-Ivy League First Team honors for the second time in her Crimson career.

For the third time in the last four seasons, Harvard produces the Ivy League's Rookie of the Year, as first-year goalkeeper Linde Burger becomes the first Crimson keeper to earn the honor since 2018. In just her first collegiate season between the posts, Burger ranks second nationally in goals against average (0.61), fifth in goals allowed (10) and fifth in save percentage (0.792). A native of Heerhugowaard, Netherlands, Burger leads all first-year goalkeepers in the nation in goals against average, goals allowed and save percentage. Burger is also an All-Ivy League First Team recipient.

Along with Harvard's three major award honorees, three more Crimson garnered All-Ivy League recognition. Team captain and senior midfielder Kitty Chapple and sophomore midfielder/forward Martha le Huray took spots on the All-Ivy League First Team, while junior midfielder Lara Beekhuis earned All-Ivy League Second Team honors.

A vital component for the Crimson in the midfield, Chapple powered a Harvard squad that led the Ancient Eight in both goals scored (50) and goals allowed (10) this season. Offensively, Chapple tallied two goals, five assists and nine points while starting in all 16 contests, as Chapple also played a key role for Harvard as the fly in its penalty corner defense. Chapple is now a four-time All-Ivy League honoree, earning All-Ivy League First Team status on three occasions.

Another breakout star for the Crimson attack, le Huray is an All-Ivy League First Team selection for the first time in her collegiate career, doing so after recording career-highs in goals (11) and points (26). With 11 goals, le Huray was tied for second in the Ivy League as her 26 points were second on the team in the regular season. Last season saw le Huray earn Most Outstanding Player honors at the 2024 Ivy League Tournament.

Beekhuis captures All-Ivy League Second Team status after another stellar year on the attacking end, as the Laren, Netherlands native recorded nine goals and career-highs in both assists (5) and points (23). Beekhuis is now a two-time All-Ivy League selection.

Two seniors round out Harvard's All-Ivy League honorees. Senior midfielder and team captain Fiene Oerlemans earns honorable mention All-Ivy League status, as fellow classmate Kate Oliver is an Academic All-Ivy League honoree.

Harvard begins the postseason at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 7, as the Crimson kick-off the 2025 Ivy League Tournament with a semifinal clash against Brown at Berylson Field.
