PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Rutgers field hockey had six players selected for the roster of the 2019 Young
Women's National Championship. Gianna Glatz, Alanna Gollotto, Gianna Mancini, Abby
Regn, Kassidy Shetler and Clayre Smith were selected for participation. Glatz, Gollotto and Shetler are
repeat selections, also being named to the roster in 2018.
The event will be held at Spooky Nook Sports, the Home of Hockey, in Lancaster, Pa., from June 14-18.
The YWNC is an annual event featuring 144 elite female field hockey athletes, including for the first
time the 2019 U.S. U-19 Women's National Team along with top collegiate and post-collegiate players.
Over the spring, select athletes tried out and trained at USA Field Hockey High-Performance Centers
throughout the country for an opportunity to earn a spot in the tournament that is the next step on
the Olympic Development Pathway. These teams will face off for the prestigious title of national
champions and for an opportunity to be selected to the 2020 U.S. U-21 Women's National Team and
U.S. Women's National Development Team, or a trial for the U.S. Women's National Team.
Glatz was named First Team All-Big Ten and First Team All-Region last season after posting a 13-6 record
as RU's starting goalkeeper. The Medford, N.J. native held a 1.27 goals-against-average, a .785 save
percentage and started in nine shutouts. Glatz led the Big Ten and was fifth in the nation in save
