BLOOMSBURG — Bloomsbu rg University field hockey player Maggey Bloskey, a graduate of Danville, has added another award to her growing list of postseason honors. She has been named the Division II Athlete of the Year by the Board of the Collegiate Women Sports Award sponsored by the American Honda Motor Company.
Bloskey will now be on the ballot with 11 other sport winners to determine the 2009-10 Division II Athlete of the Year award. The presentation of the award will be made on June 21, 2010 in Los Angeles.
Bloskey, who was also named the national Player of the Year by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) and was a first-team All-American, finished second on the Huskies in scoring with 15 goals and a team-high 12 assists, which is tied for the 12th best single season mark in school history.

She was named both second team All-PSAC East in 2009 as well as a second team All- American by womensfieldhockey.com.
Bloskey was also selected the MVP of the PSAC Championships and was selected to the NCAA All-Tournament team.
Her reputation as a big-game performer extends back to the 2008 NCAA national semifinals when she scored all three goals for the Huskies, including the game winner in overtime, against the Raiders. She finished her career with 45 goals, tied for 10th all-time in school history, and 19 assists. Her 109 career points rank as the ninth best mark in school history.
