COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Penn State Harrisburg field hockey player Ami Mattingly has earned all-region recognition from the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA). 


Mattingly was named to the NFHCA All-Region IV Second Team following her historic senior campaign. She is the first player in program history to earn all-region honors of any kind.


In her final collegiate season and first with Penn State Harrisburg, Mattingly proved one of the top offensive threats in the country. She was named the United East Player of the Year and earned United East All-Conference First Team honors for her efforts. The fifth-year player led the nation in goals per game (1.69) and ranked second in points per game (3.69) while setting single-season program records for total points (59) and goals scored (27). The Mechanicsburg, Pa. native converted seven game-winning goals, recorded three hat tricks and set the single-game program record for total points when she scored three markers and added a pair of assists in a midseason victory over Lancaster Bible. She was named the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Division III Offensive Player of the Week Honorable Mention in early September and was earned three United East Offensive Player of the Week awards this fall.
