PHILADELPHIA - Earlier in the spring, the University of Pennsylvania field hockey team hosted its annual team banquet at The Study, honoring the senior class as well as the four major awards.

Freshman Livia Loozen secured the Gail Lipstein Award for the most outstanding freshman, putting together a seven-point first season with the Quakers. Playing in all 17 games and starting in seven, she scored three goals to go with an assist, including two game winners. She capped off the year with the game-winning goal against Dartmouth, earning her Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week. 

Sophomore Courtney Kenah earned the Margaretha Ehret Dream Crazy Award, coming off a season where she led the team in scoring with 16 points on seven goals and two assists. She was named second-team All-Ivy and second-team NFHCA All-Region. Kenah scored against four nationally-ranked opponents (#1 Northwestern, #15 Harvard, #20 Boston College, and #24 Temple), needing only 10 shots to reach her seven finishes for the year.

Senior Elita Van Staden took home the Diane Angstadt Award for most inspirational player, as the captain chipped in three goals and four assists this year. She played in 12 games, starting in 11, missing five games due to injury midway through the year. Wanting to be back on the field to support her teammates, she returned for the final four games, including scoring the game-winning goal against Delaware in one of the last games of the season.

Senior Gracyn Banks wrapped up the major honors as the  Anna Townsend Award for most valuable player. A decorated defender on the backline made her way up on set pieces to finish with 13 points for the season off four goals and a team-leading five assists. She also led the team and ranked third in the Ivy League in defensive saves with three. Her year concluded with her second first-team All-Ivy nod and second first-team NFHCA All-Region selection, while also being named All-ECAC. 

At the end of the event, the Quakers honored their senior class: Van Staden, Maya Geller, Sydney Huang, Meghan Ward, Olivia Kenny, and Julia Russo.
