Nicole Krozser’s last-minute goal lifted the top-ranked Warriors of East Stroudsburg University over Shippensburg University to win the NCAA Division 2 Field Hockey National Championship at the Final Four in Enton, Washington, Dec. 3.
Krozser, a senior, scored the championship-winning goal with 36 seconds left in the game on a pass from sophomore Jady van Gils. The win marks the second national championship for East Stroudsburg. The Warrior took the top honors in 2015 and finished as runners-up last year when Shippensburg won the national championship.
The 20-2 Warriors won their final seven games of the regular season, winning the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference tournament in November.
