Colorado Springs, Colo. — The National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) revealed its list of 2025 All-Americans, as four Warriors were named to the 2025 Division II All-American teams.
 
The NFHCA named 32 athletes total, 16 each on the First and Second Teams, as 2025 All-Americans. All four All-Region athletes for ESU earned All-American honors, as Kerry Kaufman, Minke Klijn, Elaiana Rivera-Lagalla, and Charlotte Simon were announced as All-Americans. Simon was named a member of the First Team, while Kaufman, Klijn and Rivera-Lagalla were named Second Team All-Americans. Kaufman and Simon were Second Team honorees last year, becoming the 20th and 21st Warriors to earn multiple All-American selections. ESU has had at least three All-American selections in each of the past four seasons and now has nine-straight seasons of having multiple honorees. The Warriors' four All-American selections are tied for second-most among PSAC teams and overall.
 
Simon now caps her career with back-to-back All-American selections, as she was a member of the Second Team last season. Simon was the Warriors' leader on defense, helping ESU hold opponents to 1.06 goals per game on 7.3 shots per game, limiting teams to one goal or less in 12-of-20 games this season.

Kaufman ends her career as a Warrior with her second All-American selection. The 2024 Second Team All-American put up career numbers in her final season, scoring six goals and seven assists to total 19 points in 2025.
 
Klijn enjoyed a standout season offensively, ranking second in the PSAC in points with 39, scoring 15 goals and recording nine assists. Klijn was also named to the All-PSAC Second Team and earned PSAC Athlete of the Week in the middle of the season after scoring nine points across three games.
 
Rivera-Lagalla produced her best season as a Warrior in 2025, putting together a list of All-American, All-Region, and All-PSAC honors. The midfielder put up 18 points on six goals and six assists, career-highs in all three categories.
 
The four helped lead ESU to a 16-4 overall record in the 2025 season, clinching a 10th-straight NCAA Tournament appearance while going 16-2 in the regular season and earning the second seed in the PSAC.
