Fuhrman, Wozniak Earn All-America Recognition

KUTZTOWN, Pa. – For the second straight year, juniors Mackenzie Fuhrman and Kyra Wozniak of the ninth-ranked Kutztown University field hockey team earned All-America honors for their standout play on the field this season, as released by National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) on Jan. 7.

Fuhrman garnered First Team honors while Wozniak received Second Team accolades. That pushes the program’s numbers to 41 total All-Americans, with KU earning at least one player on the team for the sixth consecutive season.

“I am so proud of Mack and Kyra for being named All-Americans for the second year in a row,” said head coach Marci Scheuing. “All-American is hard to accomplish one year, let alone two years. They are both truly deserving of this honor. It is so much fun to coach players as skilled as the two of them. They are both part of such an amazing junior class and I am very excited to see where the two of them and the rest of the class take us next year!”

It was the second consecutive year Fuhrman was voted to the First Team. She is also a two-time, First Team All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) member, having received the honor each of the last two seasons.
