PRINCETON (6/28/10) -- The U.S. Field Hockey National Championships concluded Saturday in Virginia Beach with the New Jersey team, which included seven of the 10 Princeton players in the tournament and was coached by Princeton's Kristen Holmes-Winn, winning the tournament with a 4-0-1 record and a 1-0 win over the Pennsylvania team in the title game.

Holmes-Winn led her team to its third Women's National Championship in four seasons and its second in a row. Rising junior Katie Reinprecht, a Honda Award nominee last season, provided the winning team its lone goal in its championship-game win over the Pennsylvania team.

Alyssa Pyros, Rachel Neufeld and May-Ying Medalia joined them on the team this season. Cesan, Sharkey, Katie Reinprecht and Neufeld all scored goals during the tournament. Sharkey had a two-goal performance in the team's semifinal win over the Mid-Atlantic squad.

Molly Goodman and Nicole Ng '09 played for the California team, which played to a 2-2-1 record over its five games, while Maren Ford '06 played for the Midwest team, which was 2-3 overall.
