The University of Iowa field hockey program is no stranger to national recognition and this summer has been no different. Current Hawkeyes Caitlin McCurdy and Lauren Pfeiffer have been named to the Under-21 National Team while Meghan Beamesderfer was selected as an alternate. Former Hawkeyes Barb Weinberg and Sarah Dawson were named to the U.S. National Squad. Dawson was also named to the U.S. Pan American team.
Playing on a national level will be nothing new for McCurdy. The Mountain Top, PA native was on the 2006 U-21 team that traveled to China last April. She also was a member of the 2007 High Performance Training Center (HPTC) Midwest Region team, 2006 Elite Performance Training Center (EPTC) Midwest Region team, 2005 EPTC PA/NJ team and was a member of the U.S. Canada Challenge in 2006.
In McCurdy's two years at Iowa, she has been a two time all-Big Ten selection, including being named 2005 Big Ten Freshman of the Year. She has led the Hawkeyes in goals both years.
