UMass Lowell's Sammy Macy (Tewksbury, MA), Laura Sullivan (Norwood, MA) and Ashley Smith (Killingworth, CT) were named to the 2009 Longstreth/National Field Hockey Coaches' Association Division II All-American First Team, while Katie Enaire (Amesbury, MA) was tabbed as a Second Team selection, as announced by NFHCA Executive Director Jennifer Goodrich on Tuesday.

There were 16 student-athletes named to the First Team, and UMass Lowell's three honorees tied with Bloomsburg and Shippensburg for the most from one institution. The only other NE-10 school to be represented on the First Team was Stonehill, with two student-athletes.

Macy was honored as the 2009 Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Year and named to the NCAA Championship All-Tournament Team. She was named NE-10 Player of the Week twice during the 2009 campaign and earned UML's Lowell Five Athlete of the Week honors once. She finished the year with a team-best 57 points on 25 goals and seven assists. Macy tallied 144 shots during the year and scored eight game-winners. She had six multiple-point games, including a hat trick against American International on Oct. 7. She was ranked third in the country in points per game (2.38) and goals per game (1.04). Macy was also named to the 2008 NFHCA All-American First Team.

Sullivan was named to the NE-10 All-Conference First Team for her efforts in 2009 and was once tabbed as the NE-10 Defensive Player of the Week. She started all 24 games for the River Hawks and finished the year with one assist and defensive save, helping to anchor a River Hawk defense that only allowed 1.54 goals per game, ranked sixth in the country. Last year, Sullivan was named to the NFHCA All-American Second Team.

Smith was honored as a NE-10 All-Conference Second Team Selection and named to the NCAA Championship All-Tournament Team. She was named NE-10 Defensive Player of the Week one time during the season, started all 24 games and tallied five assists and one defensive save on the year. She also helped to anchor a defensive core that allowed just 8.3 shots per game, compared to the River Hawks' 21.0.

Enaire was named to the NE-10 All-Conference First Team after starting all 24 games for the River Hawks and finishing the year with 51 points on 22 goals and seven assists, ranking her second on the squad. She was ranked fifth in the country with 2.13 points per game and fourth with 0.92 goals per game. Enaire also tied a program-best nine points in a single game (4g, 1a) against Saint Anselm on Sept. 19.

The River Hawks finished the season with an 18-6 mark overall and 7-3 record in Northeast-10 action.  For the third consecutive season, UMass Lowell made it to the NCAA Division II Field Hockey National Championship game, where they fell to Bloomsburg in a 3-2 heartbreaker.
