RICHMOND, Va. – University of Richmond Field Hockey seniors Lindsey Frank (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) and Erika Latta (Midlothian, Va.) were named to the 2022 Preseason All Atlantic 10 Team, the league announced Tuesday.
The Spider Hockey squad was picked to finish the 2022 regular season in fourth place with 38 points, as voted by league coaches. 2021 Atlantic 10 Champions Saint Joseph's is predicted to top the league with 59 points and five first place votes, while Massachusetts garnered 55 points and one first place vote to land in second. VCU was selected to finish third with 53 points and two first place votes.
Frank led the Spiders offense in 2021 totaling 20 points with seven goals and six assists in 17 starts at midfield. She collected A-10 First Team All-Conference, A-10 All-Championship Team and NFHCA All-South Region Second Team honors for her performance last season. Frank tallied three multi-point contests, with a goal and assist against La Salle, Old Dominion and William & Mary.
Starting all 19 games in goal for Richmond in 2021, Latta made 106 saves and tallied three shutouts, including eight saves from 17 shots faced on goal in a j1-0 victory over then-nationally ranked UMass. Latta also corralled a career-high 12 saves against Wake Forest.
Richmond opens the season Friday, August 26, in Harrisonburg against James Madison. The contest is set to begin at 5 p.m. at the JMU Field Hockey Complex and will air on ESPN+.
