MANAHAWKIN, N.J. -- University of Michigan graduate student Abby Tamer was named to the 2025 National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Division I Senior Team, the organization announced Thursday (Nov. 20).
The 38 Senior Team selections were based on nominations submitted by NFHCA member coaches and reviewed by committees composed entirely of NFHCA coach members. The honor celebrates each student-athlete's competitive excellence, leadership and lasting influence within their programs.
Tamer, who was named a unanimous selection to the All-Big Ten first team for the second year in a row, led the Wolverines in scoring for the second straight season with eight goals, three assists and 19 points. Among her goals, she boasted three late game-winners this season, all scored within the final three minutes of the fourth quarter -- including two in the final 30 seconds against Wake Forest and Stanford. She was also named to the Big Ten All-Tournament Team and is one of two Wolverine team captains this season.
An NFHCA first team All-American last year, Tamer has appeared in 76 career games with 65 starts and boasts 33 career goals, 26 assists and 92 points and finished just outside Michigan's top 10 leaderboard in all three categories.
Tamer took an Olympic redshirt in 2023, after her sophomore year, to train with the U.S. Women's National Team and became the Wolverines' first Olympian in UMFH history, leading USA in scoring with two goals in Paris. She scored the game-winning goal against Japan in the 55th minute of the Olympic Qualifier semifinal to qualify the USA to the 2024 Paris Games and also tallied the game-winner in a 1-0 win against India in the first pool game.
