MANAHAWKIN, N.J. – Thursday afternoon, the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) announced the 2024 NCAA Division II Watchlist with Pace's Krista Dietz and Celeste Pagliaroli earning a selection.

Dietz raised the bar in her third season, reaching a career-high in points with 62 total (24 goals and 14 assists). The Mahopac, N.Y. native showcased her exceptional talent throughout the year, earning her NFHCA Player of the Year honors to become the first Setter to ever win the award. The first-team All-American returns in 2024 as the focal point of Pace's offense looking to add to her accomplished resume.

Pagliaroli was a force in the net for the Blue and Gold in 2023, producing a 10-7-0 record with an impressive 1.84 goals against average. Selected to the Northeast-10 All-Conference second team in her rookie season, Pagliaroli looks to pick up where she left off.

Following their successful 2023 seasons, the dynamic duo of Dietz and Pagliaroli remain as two impact players to keep a close eye on this fall.
