Sachem alum continues padding athletic resume during senior year at University of Michigan.
The accolades are getting more frequent and bigger. Katie Trombetta was a legend at Sachem and she’s quickly earning that status for University of Michigan field hockey.
This week, Trombetta was named Big Ten Player of the Year, the fifth ever from Michigan and first in 12 years.
Trombetta, an NFHCA All-America third team selection in 2016, also earned All-Big Ten first-team honors for the second straight season after posting four goals and 11 assists and anchoring a Wolverines defense that leads the league with a 0.76 goals-against average and has allowed just 7.1 shot attempts per game, according to Michigan.
A key member of Michigan’s attack and defensive corner units, she netted the late game-winning goal against Northwestern to give U-M the outright Big Ten title and scored the game-winner in its Big Ten Tournament opener against Ohio State.
The Wolverines return to action this Friday (Nov. 3), squaring off against Northwestern in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals at 11 a.m. at Ralph Young Field in East Lansing, Michigan.
