UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - Richmond seniors Jodi Murphy and Heather Wrublesky have been selected to play in the 2006 NFHCA Division I All-Star Game, Nov. 18, at Winston-Salem, N.C.

Murphy, a native of Williamsburg, Va., has played in 16 games and recorded a total of seven points on one goal and five assists from her back position.
