Field Hockey Places Six on 2025 NFHCA All-Atlantic Region Teams
The National Field Hockey Coaches Association announced the 2025 All-Region teams, with Kutztown University placing six student-athletes on the All-Atlantic Region squads. The Golden Bears are coming off a record-breaking season that featured the longest winning streak in program history (19), the most wins in a single year (20) and new single-season highs in goals (101) and assists (67). Kutztown returned to the PSAC Championship Game for the first time since 2019 and reached the NCAA semifinals for the third straight year under PSAC Coach of the Year, Marci Scheuing. This year marks the first time the NFHCA has created official All-Region teams, dating back through archived records to 2001. Kutztown's last recorded All-Region recognition prior to this inaugural release came in 1990. Kutztown earned four First Team All-Atlantic Region selections: Erin Gonzalez (East Earl, Pa./Garden Spot), Olivia Kirkpatrick (Annville, Pa./Palmyra), Marissa Rice (Lancaster, Pa./Lampeter-Strasburg), and Jessica Traynor (Pennsburg, Pa./Upper Perkiomen). Tess Adolf (Lawrence, N.J./Lawrence) and Grace Harrold (York, Pa./Central York) represented KU on the Second Team. PSAC Athlete of the Year Gonzalez, a senior forward from East Earl, is Kutztown's first conference Athlete of the Year since 2015. She led KU in goals (18) and points (44), starting all 22 games, and finished the season ranked fourth nationally in both categories. Gonzalez now sits tied for seventh in program history with 47 career goals, surpassed 100 career points this year, and added eight assists-second most on the team. PSAC Defensive Athlete of the Year Kirkpatrick, a sophomore defender from Annville, was just the second Golden Bear ever to earn the defensive award and the first since 2023. In her first season at KU after transferring from Liberty, she anchored a defense that allowed a Division II-low 15 goals all season. Kirkpatrick also contributed offensively with seven goals, five assists, and a defensive save across 22 starts. Rice, a First Team All-PSAC midfielder from Lancaster, started every game and ranked second on the team in goals (14) and points (35), while finishing third in assists (7). She tallied two game-winning goals. Traynor, a junior captain and First Team All-PSAC midfielder from Pennsburg, also started all 22 games. She recorded 10 goals and two assists for 22 points, scoring in nine different games. Her five game-winners tied for the team lead, including four straight during a crucial midseason stretch. Adolf, a freshman goalkeeper from Lawrence, N.J., became KU's first PSAC Rookie of the Year since 2018. She led the conference in goals-against average (0.66), posted a .789 save percentage-tied for eighth nationally-and her 11 shutouts matched Kutztown's single-season record. Adolf finished 19-2 in 21 appearances. Harrold, a senior captain from York, earned All-PSAC Second Team honors. Starting all 22 games, she registered five goals and a team-high 12 assists, tied for third-most in a single season in program history. Her 23 career assists rank ninth all-time at KU. Harrold scored KU's lone goal in the NCAA semifinal and was named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team. The NFHCA All-Region announcement is the first in a series of postseason awards. Regional Players of the Year will be announced December 11, followed by the All-American teams on December 16 and the National Player of the Year on December 18.

101 Students Volunteer for Alvernia's Trunk-or-Treat
Alvernia University's Residence Hall Association (RHA) hosted its annual Trunk-or-Treat on Thursday, October 30, 2025, drawing over 250 local attendees. Alvernia students, professors and staff transformed Bernardine Hall into a festive Halloween hub. "RHA's Trunk-or-Treat has become something that students, staff, faculty, and the community look forward to each year," said RHA Staff Advisor, Avery Bailey, area coordinator for the Office of Residence Life. "This year, we were able to collaborate with some campus partners, like Pack Hospitality, to make the event an even bigger hit. Even though the weather threw a wrench in things, the students adapted and made the best of it. It is always incredible to see the impact that these students have on those around them and on the community." Alvernia's dining partner, Pack Hospitality, curated a special fall menu at Kestrel Cafe for purchase the event. 101 student volunteers dressed up in costumes and set up 45 decked-out tables to welcome the families. For many, the event is a highlight of the fall semester. "This is my third year participating in it, and each year it gets better and better," said Vice President of RHA, Julia Lawson. "We work really hard throughout the semester to make this an amazing, fun experience for the kids. I love seeing all the costumes and giving back to the community. This event wouldn't be possible without the hard work from RHA, Residence Life, and all of our volunteers." That sense of excitement was shared across campus. Additionally, students earned community service hours for participating in the event, which count toward their graduation requirements. "Trunk-or-Treat was an awesome event this year," said Michael Peffer, a student participant. "Everyone was having a good time, especially all of the volunteers and everyone who set up a table. It was a great event and a lot of people showed up, and seemed to be really happy to be there." The goal of RHA is to advocate for all the students living in university housing to have the best residential experience possible and to help build a stronger residential community on campus through programming. RHA gives students, such as Lawson and Peffer, additional leadership responsibilities on campus, in addition to their roles as Resident Assistants.
