Smyrna High sophomore field hockey player Dru Moffett has been voted this week’s Delaware State News Athlete of the Week after tallying four goals in a 5-2 Henlopen North win over Dover last week. In five games this season, she has collected six goals and five assists for the 4-1 Eagles.

A second-team All-Henlopen North pick as a freshman, Moffett has been selected to attend the USA Field Hockey Rise Selection Camp in January. The camp is a tryout for the Junior National Team.

With over a 4.0 GPA, Moffett hopes to play field hockey in college. She was also a starter on the Smyrna girls’ soccer squad that reached the DIAA Division I state finals last spring.

“She has quick hands and stick skills and advanced vision on the field,” said Eagles coach Loveita Moffett.
