DURHAM β Former Duke Blue Devils Leah Crouse and Jillian Wolgemuth have been named to the 2023-24 USA Field Hockey Women's National Team announced May 30. Crouse and Wolgemuth also were selected by head coach David Passmore and his staff to the 24-athlete traveling roster that will head to Europe for USA's second leg of the 2022-23 FIH Pro League season.
"This group of athletes combines our immediate future with those working toward the next World [Cup] and Olympic cycles," said Passmore. "The competition for places was tight and many athletes will be unlucky to have missed out after a good camp in Charlotte over the past [two weeks]. Most of the athletes are in better physical shape after a block of centralized training and the two matches against the men's U-21 team were very beneficial. We are now excited to see where the hard work over the past two months has got us as we return to [FIH Hockey] Pro League competition in Europe against some of the world's top teams."
Crouse, a standout midfielder during her time with the Blue Devils, finished her career with 18 goals and 16 assists for 52 points. She was a 2019 All-ACC second-team pick and garnered NFHCA All-Region second-team honors this past season. Crouse ranks 39th in program history in career points as one of 41 Blue Devils to reach the 50-point mark. She excels in the classroom as well, garnering numerous academic awards during her career.
Wolgemuth played in 78 games with 72 starts on the backline for the Blue Devils from 2016-19. She scored three goals and added five assists for her career, earning NFHCA All-America third team honors as a senior. A two-time All-South Region selection, Wolgemuth was named to the All-ACC team in 2018 and 2019 and captained the squad in 2019.
The Pro League competition gets underway in England June 17 with the United States taking on Netherlands. The first four matches will take place in London, England., with the next four to be held in Antwerp, Belgium.
