Senior Annemartine Christis ('s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands) and junior Emma Peeters (Wageningen, Netherlands) were named First-Team All-Americans.  Junior Anne Wiersma (Veldhoven, Netherlands) was named a Second-Team All-American.

Christis was named to the second team in 2023 and becomes the first Penmen to receive All-American status twice.  Christis and Peters join Laura van der Doorn and Hélène Servais (both in 2019) as First-Team selections by the Coaches Association.

The NCAA also confirmed Tuesday that Christis is the 2024-25 NCAA Division II statistical champion for Goals Per Game (1.50) and Points Per Game (3.70).  In addition, Peeters is the 2024-25 NCAA Division II field hockey statistical champion for Save Percentage (.843).
