LYNCHBURG, Va. --- Lynchburg College sophomore midfielder Shelly Milks (Gloucester, VA/Gloucester) was named a second-team NCAA All-American Monday by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association. It is the third-straight season that a Hornet field hockey star achieved All-American status.

Milks, the 2010 Old Dominion Athletic Conference Player of the Year, earned first-team All-South Region honors late last week. Using her superior speed, she led the Hornets to an unbeaten record in conference play and their fifth-straight ODAC Tournament Title. Offensively, she was third on the team in assists (9) and points (29) and fourth in goals (10), including two game winning tallies.

The Hornets finished the season 17-4 and into the NCAA Tournament for the sixth-straight season.
