CHARLOTTE, N.C.βDuke senior
Alaina McVeigh and sophomore
Julia Boehringer were named to the All-ACC Field Hockey Teams in a vote of the league's nine coaches the league announced Monday afternoon.
McVeigh garnered her third consecutive All-ACC first team recognition while Boehringer makes her All-ACC debut on the second team. Boehringer is one of five underclassmen to earn All-ACC honors this season.
Duke's top scorer for each of the past three seasons, McVeigh becomes the second Blue Devil to earn three consecutive first-team honors since the league started compiling two teams in 2013. She is the 12th Duke player to pick up three All-ACC honors in her career.
McVeigh leads the Blue Devil offense with 10 goals and eight assists for 28 points. She has at least one point in 10 of her 17 outings while her eight assists are a career high. The Lansdale, Pennsylvania native has multiple goals in two games this season and scored the game winner three times.
For her career, she has scored at least one goal in 32 of her 60 career games and is one of six Duke players to post at least 20 points in each of her first three seasons on the turf. McVeigh also is one of four Blue Devils to register double-digit goals in each of her first three seasons and one of 17 players in Duke history to reach the 90-point marker. She currently ranks 14th in Duke history with 93 career points and 13th with 40 career goals.
Boehringer is having a super sophomore season, ranking second on the team with seven goals and five assists for 19 points. Three of her seven tallies have been game winners, including the marker that lifted Duke over American, 2-1. After coming off the bench last season, the native of Munich, Germany has started every game for the Blue Devils and scored 14 more points than she did in 20 games in 2024. She's also been much more efficient on offense for Duke, scoring her seven goals on only 26 shots compared to one goal on 20 attempts her rookie year.
Duke, the No. 4 seed in the ACC Championship, takes on No. 5 seed California in the quarterfinals Nov. 4 at 12:30 p.m. ACC Network will televise all seven ACC Championship contests.
