PRINCETON, N.J. – Katie '13 and Julia Reinprecht '14 have retired from the United States National Field Hockey, the team announced today.
Â
The two sisters retire as two-time Olympians, helping the U.S. to fifth place in the 2016 Rio Olympics. It was the team's highest finish since the 1996 summer games in Atlanta. They also won two gold medals at the Pan American Games (2011, 2015). Wrapping up their careers, Katie finished with 166 caps while Julia had 154 caps.
Â
Katie Reinprecht is fourth all-time in Princeton history in points with 53 goals and 50 assists. She was a four-time All-American and two-time NCAA All-Tournament player. In 2012, Reinprecht had one of the greatest seasons in field hockey history as she was the National Field Hockey Coaches' Association (NFHCA) National Player and Mid-Atlantic Player of the Year. Her 29 assists that year are the most in a single-season in program history. She was also the Ivy League Player of the Year in back-to-back years (2008-09).
While at Princeton, Julia Reinprecht was a four-time All-American and All-Region player. Reinprecht was named to the NCAA All-Tournament team twice (2009, 2012). Some of her other accolades include the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year in 2013 and conference Rookie of the Year in 2009.
Both Reinprechts won four Ivy League titles in their careers at Princeton and were members of the program's first National Championship in 2012.
