NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass. - For the first time since 2018, the Northeast 10 announced a repeat field hockey Player of the Year Thursday. Adelphi's Lana Mignon de Wet, who went on the be named the 2025 East Region Player of the Year, was again tabbed as the league's top player this fall.
The South African senior led the NE10 this season with 21 goals and 49 points. She is the active leading scorer in Division II with 52 career goals. de Wet became the second Panther to win NE10 Player of the Year when she won the award last fall. She's the first repeat NE10 Player of the Year since Stonehill's Kacie Smith in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
de Wet headlines a list of diverse award winners, with each of the league's five major honors landing on different rosters.
Caroline Mastergeorge was voted the Defensive Player of the Year, capping her Greyhound career on a high note after fighting through multiple injuries early in her career. Assumption allowed a league-best 1.11 goals per game this fall and shut down the NE10's top two scorers along the way. Both de Wet and Pace's Feline Rook were held off the scoreboard when their teams met Assumption. Mastergeorge follows Callie Beaparlant ('24), Jenna Graf ('21) and Kerri Desto ('98) as Greyhounds to win the NE10's top defensive player.
Also a stalwart on defense, Franklin Pierce senior Zoe Noorlag is the NE10 Goalkeeper of the Year. The all-time saves leader in Rindge and a four-year starter for the Ravens, Noorlag stopped nearly 81% of shots she faced. Noorlag had eight games in which she stopped double-figure shots and turned away 29 against Assumption. The Dutch native kept her team in every game, allowing two goals or fewer in nine of her starts. She is the first Raven goalie to claim the award since Kristin Tormollan in 2008.
Stella Musso is the third Pace Setter to win Rookie of the Year and the first since Krista Dietz in 2021. Dietz went on to become an NE10 Player of the Year and one of the top players in program history. Musso earned the top honor after being the most often recognized Rookie of the Week this season. The midfielder had seven goals and six assists.
Finally, Saint Anselm's Carolyn King-Robitaille earned her fourth Coach of the Year nod in her squad's final year as a member of the conference. Saint Anselm went out on a high note, claiming a share of the NE10 regular season title and the championship's No. 1 seed.
