TR South Grad Named Field Hockey National Player of the Year

Toms River South Alumna Alex Okuniewicz, now a senior at the College of New Jersey, garnered top honors for field hockey this season.

The midfielder/defender was named the 2011 Longstreth/National Field Hockey Coaches Association Division III National Player of the Year.

That's not the only accolade for the season, though. Okuniewicz also made the All-American First Team, and was named the South Atlantic Region Player of the Year. She was also an All-South Atlantic Region First Team honoree.
 
In the New Jersey Athletic Conference, Okuniewicz was the 2011 New Jersey Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year and All-NJAC First Team, marking the third straight year she has earned that honor, according to TCNJ.

In her final season at college, she racked up 33 points on 13 goals and seven assists. For her career, Okuniewicz collected 94 points over her four seasons.
