Stags Field Hockey @stags_FH Congratulations to Luzi Persiehl, the first-ever @nfhca All-American in Stags Field Hockey history! #WeAreStags #NECFH 🤘🏑
"I am so happy that Luzi was recognized for her play during this incredible season," Fairfield Head Coach Jackie Kane said. "She played an instrumental role in what this team was able to accomplish this season. She is truly deserving of this recognition not only for her play on the field but the role she fills for us off the field as well."

Four Fairfield University field hockey student-athletes earned a berth to the 2019 National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) All-Mideast Region team as the organization announced its the teams this afternoon. Kelly Buckley and Luzi Persiehl both collected first team honors as defenders while Malen Iglesias earned a second-team nod as a midfielder/defender and Danielle Profita received second-team recognition as a forward. Buckley and Persiehl were two members of a stalwart defense that helped the Fairfield University field hockey team rank as one of the top defensive units in the nation. The Stags surrendered one goal or less in 18 of their 22 games this season including five shutouts. The team allowed just 1.16 goals per game which ranked among the best in Division I, yielding 26 goals in 22 games. The Fairfield University Field Hockey team, under Head Coach Jackie Kane, set a school record for most wins in a season (19-3 overall) as well as for most consecutive wins with 12. The Stags won the NEC Championship and advanced to the NCAA Division I Field Hockey Championship. The team defeated American University in the opening round of the tournament for the program's first NCAA tournament win before falling to second-ranked UConn in the first round by a 2-1 score in overtime.
