Duke’s McVeigh, Virginia’s Croon Top 2024 All-ACC Academic Team for Field Hockey

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – Duke junior midfielder and forward Alaina McVeigh and Virginia back Jans Croon were named as the 2024 Co-ACC Scholar-Athletes of the Year for Field Hockey. Additionally, McVeigh and Croon headline the league’s All-ACC Academic Team for field hockey, which includes 135 student-athletes and features all nine ACC field hockey programs.
 
On the field this fall, McVeigh was a First-Team All-ACC selection and Second-Team NFHCA All-America honoree. She ranked fifth in the ACC in both goals (13) and points (28), leading the Blue Devils in both categories. McVeigh helped lead Duke to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after upsetting No. 5 Maryland in the opening round. The Landsdale, Pennsylvania, started all 20 games this season for the Blue Devils, logging five game-winning goals throughout the season. 
 
McVeigh is a political science major at Duke, earning a spot on the the All-ACC Academic Team for the second time, while also previously being named to the ACC Honor Roll in both 2023 and 2024. At Duke, she was named to the Dean’s List with Distinction for each of the last two years.
 
Croon was named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year and was tabbed as an All-ACC First-Team selection. The San Diego, California, native was also named to the NFHCA All-Region First Team honors and the NFHCA All-America Third Team. Playing from the back line, Croon totaled four points in the Cavaliers’ weekend series against California and Stanford, scoring the game-winning goal against the Cardinal. She added an assist on the game-winning goal in Virginia’s NCAA Tournament first round win over Michigan. Croon finished the year with 12 total points, including four goals.
 
In the classroom, Croon shines as a global studies major. This is her second selection to the All-ACC Academic Team, while also earning a spot on the NFHCA National Academic Squad.
