HAVERFORD, Pa. - The Haverford College field hockey team was represented on the 2025 Philadelphia Sports Information Directors Association (PhillySIDA) Academic All-Area Team, the organization announced in a release on Monday afternoon. Senior Naomi York (Coronado, Calif. / Coronado) earned one of the 13 spots on the squad.

To be eligible for Academic All-Area honors, a student-athlete must be in at least their second year at the institution and hold a cumulative grade-point average of 3.30 or higher. The team is selected by the sports information offices of 30 colleges and universities in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.

York previously took home a spot on the NFHCA All-Region first team last week and was previously named first-team All-Centennial Conference in early November. York delivered a standout senior campaign after earning all-conference designation in 2024. The Coronado, Calif. native recorded 24 points on a team-leading 11 goals and two assists, finishing third in the conference in goals and tied for eighth in total points. She tallied 36 shots, including 22 on target, and led the team with four game-winning goals.

Her season featured several marquee performances, including a one-goal, one-assist effort in the Fords' 4-2 upset victory over No. 12 Rowan on September 20, a two-goal outing against DeSales on September 24, kick-starting a five-game goal-scoring streak from September 24 through October 8. The 2025 season was a historic one for Haverford field hockey. The Fords broke into the national rankings for the first time since 2021 on October 7, eventually climbing as high as No. 16 on October 21. 

The team recorded three ranked wins for the first time in program history and reached the Centennial Conference Semifinals for the first time since 2017, capping off a memorable and milestone-filled campaign, matching a program record with 14 wins.
