PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Rutgers' field hockey added two more postseason awards to its listing this week. Puck Winter (First Team) and Guillermina Causarano (Second Team) were named All-ECAC. 

Winter excelled at center back for RU, leading the nation in defensive saves (nine) for the second straight season. The product of The Netherland finished the 2024 season with 25 defensive saves for her career and became RU's career record holder in the statistic, surpassing the mark with a career-high four defensive saves against eventual national champion Northwestern in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals. Winter's 25 defensive saves are tied for the 8th most all-time in NCAA history and she was just the ninth player all-time to record at least four defensive saves in a single game, and just the second to do so since 2014. She was named to the Big Ten All-Tournament Team and was a Second Team All-Big Ten selection, as well as All-Region.

Causarano has been a team captain for her past three seasons 'On the Banks' and was recently named to the NFHCA Senior Team. The Salta, Argentina native was a Second Team All-Big Ten and All-Region selection this season after leading the team this season with seven goals, 10 assists and 24 points. She had a career-high with three goals against Miami and three assists at Indiana. For her career, Causarano played in 78 games across four years as a Scarlet Knight. She scored 23 goals and added 22 assists for 68 collegiate points. Those totals place her eighth all-time at RU in goals, eighth in assists and tied for sixth on the career list in points. Her career point total was most of any RU player under head coach Meredith Civico.
