HAVERFORD, Pa. - Haverford senior captain Ravenel Davis has been named a third-team All-American, the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) announced on Tuesday, capping a historic senior season for the Richmond, Va. product. The standout 2021 campaign has now resulted in just the fifth NFHCA All-America honor for a Haverford player and the first since 2012. Davis now joins an elite grouping that also includes Mary Hobbs (2012), Roxanne Jaffe (2011), Alex Waleko (2010) and Tracy Kyger (1992).
The illustrious honor comes on the heels of first-team All-Region honors from the NFHCA, as Davis became the first Haverford player to earn a slot on the first team since Sarah Waldis after the 2015 season.
A PhillySIDA Academic All-Region honoree in 2021, Davis was a prolific offensive performer for Haverford, and made her mark on the box score in almost every contest. She tallied a CC-best 17 goals and matched Player of the Year selection Maddie Brown-Scherer of Johns Hopkins with 36 total points. Davis fired 75 shots and tallied nine game-winning goals in 2021, setting a Haverford program record and matching the CC record in that category as the Fords etched a 13-5 overall record.
The psychology major was named Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Week on three occasions, and was recognized by the NFHCA as an honorable mention for National Player of the Week in September. Davis tallied multiple goals in four contests, including hat tricks against Immaculata (Sept. 6) and Elizabethtown (Sept. 15). The senior co-captain was also named to the Centennial Conference All-Sportsmanship Team following the conclusion of the regular season.
Davis and the Fords finished the season with a berth in the Centennial Conference tournament, returning to the postseason for the first time since the 2017 season and making a ninth playoff appearance overall. Haverford won 13 of its first 15 contests to begin the year and finished just one victory shy of matching the program's single-season wins record. Field Hockey also notched a pair of ranked wins, taking down No. 8 Rowan and No. 18 Franklin & Marshall en route to joining the national rankings themselves, peaking at No. 17 in the Division III National Coaches Poll in October.
