Beth Yeager Again Named First-Team All-American
December 17, 2024 | Field Hockey
Beth Yeager has joined the rarest air of Ivy League field hockey history — and kept alive her chance to stand alone at the summit.
Yeager was named an NFHCA first-team All-American Tuesday morning, making her the third Ivy field hockey player to earn the honor three times in her career, along with fellow Tigers Katie Reinprecht and Kat Sharkey. Should Yeager do so again as a senior in 2025, she would become the league's first four-time first-team All-American.
Yeager, a United States Olympian this past summer who was already named the Ivy League's Offensive Player of the Year for the third time, had 16 goals and 11 assists this season while leading Princeton to a perfect Ivy League record and the league championship. She also scored the only goal in Princeton's 1-0 win over Boston College in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
In addition to the All-American teams, Princeton also had three players named to the All-ECAC teams, as Yeager was a first-team selection and Ella Cashman and Clem Houlden were second-team selections.
