Ellen Dobrijevic Wins Elite 90 Award
November 17, 2016 | Field Hockey
NORFOLK, Va. - Senior Ellen Dobrijevic is the recipient of the Elite 90 award for the 2016 NCAA Division I Field Hockey Championship.
Dobrijevic, majoring in Chemical and Biological Engineering, currently carries a GPA of 3.896. She was presented with the award during the NCAA banquet at the Norfolk Yacht Club this evening.
The Elite 90, an award founded by the NCAA, recognizes the true essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level in his or her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his or her peers. The Elite 90 is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA's championships.
Eligible student-athletes are sophomores or above who have participated in their sport for at least two years with their school. They must be an active member of the team, traveling and a designated member of the squad size at the championship. All ties are broken by the number of credits completed.
For more information on the Elite 90 award winners, log on to NCAA.com/elite-90.
Dobrijevic is the first Princeton athlete to ever win the Elite 90 award. She has played in 17 games this season, setting a career-high with three goals for the Tigers. She broke her personal record with two tallies against Penn., on Senior Day earlier this month.
The No. 14 Princeton Tigers will take on the No. 8 Delaware Blue Hens in the second national semifinal on Friday at 4:45 p.m. at the L.R. Hill Sports Complex on the campus of Old Dominion University.
