Piper Edwards Earns NFHCA Division I Scholar of Distinction Honor

HANOVER, N.H. — Piper Edwards of the Dartmouth field hockey team earned recognition as a NFHCA Division I Scholar of Distinction for the 2021-22 year.

The National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) honor is presented to student-athletes who achieved a cumulative grade-point average of 3.9 or higher through the first semester of the 2021-22 academic year. This season, just 286 field hockey players from across Division I were recognized for reaching such high academic standards.

"The life of a student-athlete is not an easy one. Balancing academics with the demands of an NCAA season is a tough thing," said head coach Mark Egner. "Piper has shown that she is prepared for the challenges that this presents. I am in awe of our student-athletes here at Dartmouth College and success like Piper's shows how possible it is to excel in the classroom while we compete at the top level on the field."

"Piper is off to a fantastic start here at Dartmouth," Egner continued. "Despite some early setbacks with injuries, she has risen to the challenge and sets the standard for a scholar-athlete. I am so proud of her achievement this Fall."
