Spezialetti Named NFHCA All-American

Brooke Spezialetti of Millersville was recently named an NFHCA All-American, as announced by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA). Spezialetti is a graduate student at Alvernia University, Reading.

Spezialetti was named a third-team All-American as a defender. She is the first Alvernia field hockey student-athlete since Margaret Wentzel in 2016 to earn All-American honors.

The Penn Manor High School graduate earned first-team honors in Region V and was the 2022 MAC Commonwealth Defensive Player of the Year. She finished the 2022 season with six goals and seven assists for the Golden Wolves. She had one defensive save on the season and one game-winning goal. She was a perfect 5-for-5 on penalty stroke opportunities. Spezialetti also helped anchor a defense that held its opponents to a .70 shot-on-goal percentage, seven shutouts, and a 1.33 goals-against average.

Alvernia finished the season 14-7 overall and 6-2 in MAC Commonwealth play. Alvernia reached the MAC Commonwealth semifinals as the No. 3 seed, and the Golden Wolves were the runner-up in the ECAC Championship.
