MORRISVILLE, N.Y. – The North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) announced its 2017 All-Conference Field Hockey Team Wednesday, naming four from Morrisville State to its first team, as voted by league coaches.

In nine games overall on the season, Leva posted at least one score, recording a single game high three goals against Wells College.
