Schoenbeck is one of six newcomers named to the 37-athlete squad.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest field hockey sophomore Mia Schoenbeck was named to the 2025 U.S. Women's National Team as announced by the organization on Tuesday afternoon.
"All of us here at Wake wish to congratulate Mia on making the USA Field Hockey team and earning the opportunity to compete in the FIH Nations Cup in Chile," head coach Jen Averill said. "This incredible achievement is a testament to her endless pursuit of excellence and her pure determination to challenge herself and others on this journey. She has a very bright future ahead of her."
The United Eagles will compete in the 2025 FIH Nations Cup from February 24 to March 2 in Santiago, Chile. This top-level event features some of the best-ranked teams not participating in the FIH Hockey Pro League and giving the winning team the option to be promoted to the FIH Hockey Pro League the next season. The 20-athlete roster for this event will be named soon.
A member of Team USA at the 2024 Junior Pan American Championships, Schoenbeck helped guide her country to silver at the games, including a goal in the 32nd minute against Canada in the final game of
the group stage.
Schoenbeck was one of three Demon Deacons to start every match this season and recorded three goals and two assists in her second season in the Old Gold & Black on her way to earning Second Team All-ACC honors.
The sophomore got on the ledger in the Deacs second match of the year, playing a beautiful aerial into fellow second-year Faye Janse, who knocked down the pass and fired a shot into the left side of the cage to put Wake Forest up against Michigan.
Schoenbeck opened the scoring for Wake Forest off a Demon Deacon penalty corner against VCU and added her second assist of the year against Kent State.
The Louisville, Kentucky native recorded the first brace of her career in Wake's 6-0 victory over Davidson earlier this year, as she scored a pair of fourth-quarter goals to cap the win for the Demon Deacon.
