NESHAMINY:Wrublesky honored by NFHCA

The National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) announced its 2008 National Academic Squad March 3 and nine St. Joseph's University (SJU) players found their names on the list including Langhorne's own Jen Wrublesky.

A Neshaminy High School alum and an SJU sophomore forward, Wrublesky was among the conference leaders in shots, scoring three goals and adding four assists in a season that saw the Hawks reach the Atlantic 10 Championship semifinals for a fifth straight year.

Last year as a freshman at St. Joseph's, Wrublesky was named Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year and the team's Offensive Player of the Year after leading St. Joseph's with 10 goals and 24 points while tying for the lead with four game-winning goals.

For her efforts, Wrublesky also earned All Mid-Atlantic Region First Team, Atlantic 10 All-Conference First Team and All-Rookie Team honors as a freshman.

SJU junior midfielder Kellie Walter paced the Hawks this season with career highs in goals (10), assists (7) and points (27).
