MANSFIELD, MA. – On Monday, the Northeast-10 (NE10) Conference released the finalists for the 2024-25 Man and Woman of the Year awards, as Pace Field Hockey's Krista Dietz advanced to the final three of the selection process.

The NE10 bestows its prestigious Man and Woman of the Year awards upon graduating student-athletes who have exhausted their athletic eligibility and who have exhibited sustained excellence in competition, the classroom, and in their community service endeavors.

The recipient of the NE10's Woman of the Year is designated as the conference's nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year award program. The NE10 award is voted upon annually by the NE10's Senior Woman Administrators Council.

Dietz represents the Blue and Gold as a finalist for the prestigious award, coming off an outstanding senior campaign and career. The Mahopac, N.Y. native was exceptional in her four years with Pace, setting a program record of 203 points, which included four straight winning seasons, and a NCAA Tournament appearance. Aside from her efforts on the field, Dietz has also been a consistent contributor on campus and in the community.

Since originating in the 2005-06 season, the Setters have received the award once back in 2023, as baseball's Mitch McCabe received Man of the Year honors.

As stated by the conference, the two winners are set to be announced at the NE10 Banquet at Fratello's Events in the Millyard (Manchester, N.H.) on the night of Tuesday, June 3.
