COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (nazathletics.com) - Nazareth Field Hockey earned three National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) All-Region Honors, the organization announced Wednesday. Michaela Cushman, Audra Mieczkowski and Isabel Porterfield represented the Golden Flyers on the Region III Second Team. 

Her first career All-Region nod, Cushman set a new Nazareth single-season record this fall with 45 points on 18 goals and nine assists. The sophomore ranked second in the Empire 8 with 2.32 points and .895 goals per game this fall. A two-time Empire 8 Offensive Player of the Week, Cushman registered six multi-goal games this year including a season-high six points over Elmira. 

Mieczkowski recorded her first career All-Region selection after posting 28 points on 12 goals and four assists this fall. Mieczkowski played a crucial role in the Golden Flyers offense and defense, acting as Nazareth's go two on both sides of penalty corners. The senior netted two or more goals in three games, including a season-best nine five points on two goals and one assist against Elmira. 

Porterfield also took home her first All-Region honor after starting in all 20 games at midfield for the Golden Flyers this fall, netting 21 points on eight goals and five assists. Porterfield was a key contributor on both sides of the ball for Nazareth, helping drive the Golden Flyers transition from the defensive zone to the team's offensive end. The junior led Nazareth to two wins in the Empire 8 Championship with a career-high six points in the quarterfinal against Brockport and the overtime gamewinner in the semifinal round at Hartwick.
