CLEVELAND, OH – The North Coast Athletic Conference is celebrating its 40th playing season by selecting All-Decade teams in all 23 championship sports. Student-athletes that competed in the NCAC between the 2013-14 and the 2022-23 seasons who earned Player of the Year honors, or who earned a minimum of three all-NCAC first-team nods during this time were named to the team.
In field hockey, 21 student-athletes have been recognized for their outstanding accomplishments on the field.
Four different NCAC teams earned a league title in field hockey over the last 10 years, including Denison (2013, '17-19), DePauw (2013, '16, '22), Kenyon (2014-15, '17, '19, '21), and Ohio Wesleyan (2019). Throughout the decade, there were several co-champions, including Denison and DePauw in 2013, Denison and Kenyon in 2017, as well as Denison, Kenyon, and Ohio Wesleyan in 2019. No champions were crowned in 2020 due to COVID-19.
Founded in 1983, the North Coast Athletic Conference currently consists of nine academically selective NCAA Division III colleges and universities - Denison University, DePauw University, Hiram College, Kenyon College, Oberlin College, Ohio Wesleyan University, Wabash College, Wittenberg University and the College of Wooster along with affiliate members Allegheny College, Earlham College, Transylvania University and Washington & Jefferson College (field hockey).
