2024 Season Highlights: Van Gils capped a decorated career with another dominant campaign, starting all 22 games and pacing East Stroudsburg with 12 goals, 11 assists, and 35 total points. She led the team in total shots (94) and registered three game-winning goals, showing her signature playmaking brilliance from the midfield.
Van Gils exploded for a 7-point performance against STAC (Sept. 17) with a hat trick and assist, while also dishing out three assists at Kutztown (Oct. 1) and contributing two more in a high-volume effort vs. Bloomsburg (Oct. 16). Her impact went far beyond the stat sheet, orchestrating much of the Warriors’ attack with vision, poise, and relentless energy.
Her decorated season earned her a collection of national accolades: 2024 NFHCA National Player of the Year, First Team All-PSAC, Division II All-American First Team, PSAC Athlete of the Year, and a finalist spot for the DII Honda Athlete of the Year Award for Field Hockey.
