Schoenbeck and the rest of the Demon Deacons open the season with an exhibition against North Carolina at Kentner Stadium tonight at 5 p.m. ET.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – For the second-straight season, Wake Forest field hockey student-athlete Mia Schoenbeck was selected to the Preseason All-ACC Field Hockey Team as announced by the league office on Tuesday afternoon.
The Louisville, Ky. native is one of just four athletes on the list to repeat on the Preseason All-ACC Team.
"This recognition speaks volumes to Mia's dedication, consistency, and commitment to strengthening her game each season," head coach Jen Averill said. "Her hard work on and off the field continues to raise the level of her play, this team and this great conference."

At the senior level for Team USA, Schoeneck most recently helped the Senior National Team capture silver at the Pan American Cup and secure a spot at the 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup.
She also helped Team USA to a fourth-place finish at the 2025 FIH Nations Cup. Schoenbeck earned her first start and scored her first goal at the senior level in the tournament.
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 in 2024 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.
Schoenbeck and the rest of the 2025 Wake team return 60 of its 80 points (75.0%) from the 2024 season. All three student-athletes who reached double-digit points return, as Lauren Storey (17), Faye Janse (14) and Mia Montag (10) look to build on outstanding campaigns a season ago.
Fans will have 10 opportunities to see the Demon Deacons in action at Kentner Stadium during the 2025 regular season. Wake Forest opens the 2025 home slate against Longwood on Sunday, September 7 at 1 p.m. ET.
