ATHENS, Ohio - Ohio field hockey player Torrie Albini has been selected to represent Ohio in the 2007 NFHCA Division I Senior All-Star Game, announced today by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association.

Albini (Escondido, Calif.) was selected as one of the nation's premier seniors and will compete in the All-Star Game on Sunday, Nov. 17, in College Park, Md. She becomes the 11th player in Ohio history to earn a spot on the All-Star team. Most recently, Lindsay Rothenberger was picked to compete during the 2005 campaign.

Albini is one of two players from the Mid-American Conference selected to compete in the game. Kent State's Charlotte Muller will join Albini and 36 other Division I field hockey players in the All-Star Game.

Continually recognized as one of the conference's best all-around players, Albini has been stable in the Ohio lineup since her arrival in Athens. She has appeared in 80 of Ohio's games over the last four seasons and is second on Ohio's all-time career list for goals. Albini is a two-time All-MAC First Team selection and has led the MAC in goals for two seasons. As a junior, she was selected to the All-West Region Second Team by the NFHCA and was named to the 2006 MAC All-Tournament Team. She has been selected the MAC Offensive Player of the Week four times in her career and is ranked top-50 in the nation this season with 1.39 points per game and 0.89 goals per game.
