Colorado Springs, Colo. - Adelphi's Caroline Beakes, Jena Geels and Lana Mignon De Wet were each named to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Division II Watchlist, announced on Thursday morning.

For the Panthers, De Wet was a member of the Watchlist last season, while Beakes and Geels each earned the honor for the first time.

In total, 42 student-athletes were named to the list. The 2026 NFHCA Watchlist recognizes field hockey student-athletes who have demonstrated a high level of achievement and are considered among those with strong potential for NFHCA All-Region and All-America consideration this season.

Student-athletes were nominated by their NFHCA member coaches and must have earned qualifying field hockey recognition within the previous two years. Qualifying honors include NFHCA All-Region, NFHCA All-America, All-Conference, Senior Nexus Championship selection, NCAA All-Tournament Team or selection to a U.S. National or international team roster.

The Watchlist is intended to highlight returning and emerging standouts entering the 2026 season. Selection does not guarantee future NFHCA postseason recognition.
