6/24/2025 12:23:00 PM | Field Hockey
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Nine members of the Duke field hockey team have been selected to play in the 2025 Senior Nexus Championship as announced by USA Field Hockey. The three-day event takes place July 18-20 at the Virginia Beach Regional Training Center.
Madison Beach (Team Barcelona), Paige Bitting (Team Montreal), Sofia Fidalgo Schioppa (Team Montreal), Maggie Kondrath (Team Berlin), Alaina McVeigh (Team Barcelona), Sophia Miller (Team Vancouver), Lily Soldan (Team Vancouver), Ashley Stockdale (Team Rome), Macy Szukics (Team Barcelona) and Shae Wozniak (Team Paris) will represent the Blue Devils at the event. It will be a final warm-up prior to preseason training in Durham for Bitting, Fidalgo Schioppa, Kondrath, Miller and Soldan and a tune-up for Beach, McVeigh and Szukics before they head to Paraguay for the Junior Pan American Games.
It will be the second consecutive appearance in the senior event for Beach, Bitting, Fidalgo Schioppa, McVeigh, Soldan and Wozniak.
The Senior NXC is held annually and features 145 elite collegiate and post-collegiate athletes. During the spring and early summer, athletes trialed and trained at one of the seven USA Field Hockey Senior Nexus Training Sites throughout the country for an opportunity to be selected to the Senior NXC. All athletes that were previously named to the U.S. U-18 Junior Women's National Team's White Team Roster and U.S. U-21 Women's National Team were also included within the selection.
A step along the Olympic Development Pathway program, the Senior NXC serves as a selection opportunity for the 2025-26 U.S. U-21 Women's National Team Selection Camps, Junior USWNT Selection Camps, U.S. Women's National Development Squad and U.S. Women's National Team.
The Blue Devils officially open the 2025 campaign Aug. 29 at 4 p.m., against Liberty. First hit is set for 4 p.m.
