Troutman earns All-State honors

91´óÉñ field hockey player  (Mountville, Pa./Hempfield) wrapped up her breakout sophomore season with one more award, earning a spot on the All-State Second Team.

She was selected to the elite team by a vote of the Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID).

In her second season with the Royals, Troutman emerged as a dominating presence on the field and one of the best two-way players in the state. She tied for the national lead with 17 defensive saves (along with fellow All-State Second Team honoree Jackie Smith of Mary Washington), easily breaking the 91´óÉñ program record of 10 held by Radella Todd (1988) and Mandy Stowers (2013). With 24 already in her career, Troutman may well own the 91´óÉñ career record as well. She had seven games with two of more defensive saves, including three against each St. Mary’s (Md.) and nationally ranked Lynchburg.

Offensively, Troutman was a force with her powerful outside shots, especially on corners. She picked up four goals and three assists on the season, both career highs.

, as well as an Academic All-State squad and an all-sports champion in both the University and College Divisions. Membership in VaSID is open to all media relations professionals working at a university or conference in the state of Virginia.
