Amanda Artman

For the second year in a row, The College of Wooster's Amanda Artman was one of 16 players named to the Longstreth/National Field Hockey Coaches Association Div. III All-America First Team, the organization announced on Monday. For Artman, who also repeated as the NFHCA Great Lakes Region Player of the Year, it marked her fourth All-American award, having earned second-team status in 2006 and 2008.

Artman concluded the 2010 season ranked as the seventh-leading scorer in Div. III at 3.09 points per game. Overall, she scored 27 goals, which put her 10th in the nation in that category (1.23 gpg), and assisted on 14 more for 68 points. It was the third-highest scoring season in team history, while the 27 goals tied for the fourth-most and the 14 assists were the second-best total.

Artman's 2010 got off to a slow start for her standards, averaging 1.33 points through the first six games, but she then kick-started it with a hat trick at Kenyon College Sept. 19. A couple games later, Artman began a run that saw her score two or more goals eight times over a 10-game stretch, including a two-goal, four-assist effort against Earlham College on Oct. 30.

For her career, Artman, a four-time North Coast Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year and two-time Great Lakes Region Player of the Year, finished as the fourth-highest scorer in Div. III history with 257 points. She became one of just six in Div. III to reach 100 career goals on Oct. 28 and ended up with 104 and 49 assists. For those efforts, she was recognized in last week's Sports Illustrated's "Faces in the Crowd" section.

Also noteworthy, Artman will leave as the NCAC's record holder in all three major scoring categories and she wound up each season among the top-15 in Div. III scoring. In addition to ranking seventh this fall, she was seventh last year (2.83 ppg), third in 2008 (3.23 ppg), and 14th in 2006 (2.38 ppg).

Most impressive, Artman led the Fighting Scots to one of their most successful stretches in program history. Of the four full seasons she played, Wooster won the NCAC championship three times (2006, 2008, 2009) and advanced to the NCAA Div. III Championships three years (2008, 2009, 2010), and the Scots compiled a 64-24 overall record (.727).
