January 09, 2020 | Field Hockey
PRINCETON, N.J. – Former Tiger Cat Caro '17 has announced her retirement from the United States National Team.
Â
Caro appeared in 15 games with the national squad after graduating from Princeton. She shared the field on the U.S. team with another Tiger Kat Sharkey '13. Caro scored her first international tally in April of 2018.
Â
The former Tiger ended her Princeton career in impressive fashion as she was selected as first-team All-America, first-team Mid-Atlantic Region and Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year in 2016. She had a personal-high 18 goals and 47 points, registering a point in 15 of the team's 19 games. The senior captain finished the season eighth in the country in goals (.95) and 13th in points per game (2.26). Her standout performances include back-to-back hat tricks vs. Brown (Oct. 15) and Towson (Oct. 16). The two-time captain was remarkable against Ivy opponents, averaging over three points per contest with nine goals and four assists. Caro finished her career with three All-Ivy accolades, two All-Region honors and her first All-American award.
