Saint Joseph’s swept the Atlantic 10’s top field hockey honors, with senior Milou Kluyt repeating as Defensive Player of the Year and first-year head coach Sam Brown earning Coach of the Year. The Hawks went 6-0 in conference play to claim the regular-season title, backed by a defense that allowed just three league goals. Eight Hawks earned All-Conference recognition as the team heads into the A-10 tournament as the top seed.

By the Numbers
  • 6-0: Saint Joseph’s record in Atlantic 10 play.
  • 3: Goals allowed in conference play.
  • 8: Hawks named to All-Conference teams.
  • 11: A-10 regular-season titles for Saint Joseph’s in the past 11 seasons.
Yes, But

Individual honors are notable, but the Hawks’ success rests on a full-team effort: eight players earned All-Conference honors, and three made the All-Rookie Team. The postseason tournament now offers a new test beyond the regular-season title.

State of Play
  • Saint Joseph’s is the top seed in the 2026 Atlantic 10 Tournament.
  • The Hawks face Davidson in the semifinals Thursday at 11 a.m.
  • The championship game is scheduled for Saturday at noon.
What’s Next

A win over Davidson would send Saint Joseph’s to Saturday’s title game and put the Hawks one victory from converting an unbeaten conference season into an A-10 tournament championship.

Bottom Line

Saint Joseph’s has paired conference dominance with standout individual performances; now the top-seeded Hawks must finish the job in the postseason.
