Bitting Named to NFHCA Senior Team

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke field hockey senior Paige Bitting was named to the 2025 NFHCA Division I Collegiate Senior Team. Bitting was one of 38 seniors selected in honor of her competitive excellence, leadership, and lasting influence within the Blue Devil program.
Bitting most certainly left an impact on and off the field for the Blue Devils. A starter in 79 of her 82 games played, Bitting was the steadiest of forces for Duke's midfield over the past four years. She was a leader in the middle as a stalwart defensive midfielder while also serving as the connector between the backfield and attacking players.
The native of Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, Bitting finished her career with four assists as a leader on Duke's penalty corner unit. And to demonstrate her ability to thrive on both ends of the field, Bitting also was a key player on the defensive penalty corner team that excelled over the past few seasons.
Off the field, the senior captain has excelled in the classroom, earning NFHCA National Academic Team and All-ACC Academic Team recognition in each of the past three seasons. In her four years with the Blue Devils, Bitting helped the Blue Devils to a 51-31 record, an ACC regular season title, an ACC Tournament runner-up, three consecutive NCAA appearances and a spot in the 2023 NCAA Semifinals.
The Blue Devils finished the 2025 season 13-8 overall, advancing to the NCAA quarterfinals before falling to No. 1 seed North Carolina, 2-1, in overtime.
