Howard to play in All-Star Game

On Wednesday, the National Field Hockey Association announced its selections to the 2009 Division I Senior All-Star team. Not surprisingly, Casey Howard was of six CAA athletes chosen to play on Nov. 21.

Adding Howard to the list had to be an easy choice. She's one of the best players Delaware has ever seen. Howard is climbing up the UD career goals list--she has 46, with three regular-season games remaining. Last weekend she became one of four Hens players ever to reach 100 points.

The best part about this is that Howard seems to be picking up momentum with every benchmark she passes. With two CAA player of the week selections, school records and a national offensive player of the week pick among her accolades, she's practically having them thrown at her.

Tomorrow's game should be exciting if the Hen's performance since the Northeastern game indicates anything. After falling to powerhouse Northeastern, the Hens shut out the weaker Monmouth University with Howard's second hat trick this year. On Sunday, Delaware lost to No. 1 ranked Maryland. Tomorrow night the Hens face the much-less intimidating Towson....this game should be good, I'm excited.
