WORCESTER, Mass. – Three members of the Holy Cross field hockey team have been named to the All-Patriot League teams, as voted on by the league's head coaches and announced by the league office Tuesday. Senior Emily Devine is a first team selection, while junior Caitlin Little and sophomore Gabby Venezia have been named to the second team.

While this is Devine's second postseason honor in her career, as she was named to the second team after her junior season, it is the first time she has been named to the all-league first team. The Lexington native was also named to this year's Preseason All-Patriot League team. Devine missed the first game this season, but has since played every minute of the remaining four collecting a defensive save in the process. In her career, Devine has two assists and eight defensive saves, while starting 51 of 57 games played.

Little is being honored by the Patriot League for the first time in her career. Like Devine, the junior missed the first game of the season but has started and played every minute of the next four. The Acton native scored her first goal of the season in last week's 2-1 win over Colgate to qualify the Crusaders for the postseason. In her career, Little has two goals while starting 19 of 34 games played.

Venezia is also being honored for the first time in her career. This season, the sophomore led the team with two assists with both coming in the Crusaders' first win of the season, a 2-1 victory at Lehigh. The assists were Venezia's first two collegiate points. The Watertown native played in all 18 games as a freshman and has started all five games this year as a sophomore.
