TROY, N.Y. – Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) student-athletes Michelle Clemente and Lisa Pak have been selected to the 2007 Longstreth/NFHCA Division III All-Region Field Hockey Team. The two forwards were chosen to the North Atlantic Region Second Team.

She had a game-winning goal and was tops on the club with 38 shots on goal. For her efforts, she was selected to the All-Liberty League Second Team and was chosen to play in the NFHCA North-South All-Star game, this Saturday at Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pa.

The Columbia High School graduate, who was a captain, ranked third in the Liberty League in shots on goal per game (2.38) and second in total shots per game (4.06).
