Beth Yeager Named NFHCA Mid-Atlantic Player Of The Year

It's another first for Princeton field hockey senior Beth Yeager: She's now the first two-time Regional Player of the Year in program history.

Yeager, who led the Tigers to the NCAA championship game this season, has been named the NFHCA Mid-Atlantic Regional Player of the Year, it was announced today. She was also the 2022 winner of the award.

Yeager is one of three Princeton players to win the award, after Katie Reinprecht in 2012 and Clara Roth in 2019.

The Tigers went on an incredible run in the 2025 season, all the way to a 2-1 double overtime loss in the NCAA final to Northwestern. Along the way Yeager scored 15 goals and added 10 assists, making her one of only two players in Division I to be in double figures in both each of the last two seasons.

Yeager was the Ivy League's Offensive Player of the Year and a unanimous first-team All-Ivy League selection, both for the fourth straight year. She was also the Most Outstanding Player at the Ivy League tournament and an NCAA Final Four all-tournament team selection.

She also had nine game-winning goals, including late goals to defeat Harvard in the Ivy tournament final and Syracuse in the NCAA quarterfinals to send the Tigers to the Final Four. She scored Princeton's only goal in the NCAA final.

There are five regional Players of the Year, one of whom will be named the National Player of the Year next week. The other winners were North Carolina's Ryleigh Heck in the South, Northwestern's Maddie Zimmer in the West, Syracuse's Bo van Kempen in the Mideast and Harvard's Bronte-May Brough in the Northeast.

The NFHCA All-American teams will be announced Tuesday. Should Yeager be a first-team selection, she would become the first Ivy League player ever to do so four times.
