ROSEMONT, Ill. -- The University of Michigan field hockey team placed five players -- the program's most selections in six seasons -- on All-Big Ten Conference teams, the league announced Wednesday (Nov. 5) on the eve of the 2025 Big Ten Tournament. Graduate students Abby Tamer and Claire Taylor were named to the All-Big Ten first team, while junior Abby Burnett, junior Juliette Manzur and freshman Maxine Rogge all received second-team recognition.
Tamer earned unanimous selection to the All-Big Ten first team for the second straight season, and Burnett previously earned All-Big Ten second team honors as a freshman (2023). U-M's other honorees earned conference team honors for the first time in their collegiate careers. Rogge was also named to the conference's All-Freshman Team.
Fifth-year senior Emmy Tran was named the Wolverines' Sportsmanship Award recipient, given annually to student-athletes who distinguish themselves through good sportsmanship and ethical behavior, as well as demonstrate academic excellence and good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting.
The Wolverines tied Iowa and Northwestern for the second-most honorees this season; regular-season champion Northwestern led with eight.
Tamer, one of seven unanimous selections on the first team, leads Michigan with eight goals, two assists and 18 points. She boasts three late game-winning goals this season, all scored within the final three minutes of the fourth quarter -- including two in the final 30 seconds against Wake Forest and Stanford. An NFHCA first team All-American last year, Tamer has appeared in 74 career games with 63 starts and boasts 33 career goals, 25 assists and 91 points -- within striking distance of Michigan's all-time leaderboard in all three categories.
Taylor has been a fixture of the Wolverine defense over the last four seasons and has served as U-M's center back this year, contributing to a defensive unit that has allowed just 1.3 goals, 9.1 shots and 4.3 corners per game this season. As a key member of every defensive corner, Taylor has allowed just six goals off 65 penalty corners against -- a conversion rate of 9.2 percent. She also owns two assists as one of U-M's primary stick stoppers on the Wolverines' attack corner unit. Taylor has appeared in 72 career games with 65 starts and carries one career goal and 11 assists.
Burnett overcame injury at the beginning of the season to start each of the last 10 games in the midfield. She is a big component of the Wolverines' attack and defensive corner units, helping the latter hold opponents to a slim 9.2 conversion rate while serving as one of two primary stick stoppers on the offensive end. She owns one goal, scored in U-M's regular-season finale against Indiana, and four assists and has matched a career high with six points.
Manzur ranks second on the team in scoring with five goals, five assists and 15 points -- either surpassing or matching her career high in all three categories -- despite missing the last three games after suffering a season-ending injury in the Wolverines' game at Ohio State (Oct. 12). She played a key role in all three of U-M's comeback wins, netting the game-tying goals against Rutgers with time expired in the third quarter and in the fourth quarter against Wake Forest -- and contributed the Wolverines' first goal in their 3-2 comeback at Stanford.
Rogge is the first Wolverine freshman to garner All-Big Ten honors since Lauren Thomas in 2012 and becomes U-M's second Big Ten All-Freshman Team honoree after the award was introduced last season. She has started all 15 games this season as Michigan's center midfielder and, like Taylor, contributes to a defense that has allowed just 1.3 goals and 9.1 shots per game. She also owns two goals and five assists as one of Michigan's primary strikers on its attack corner unit.
Michigan will kick off its postseason at the Big Ten Tournament on Thursday (Nov. 6), opening play against Rutgers at 11 a.m. at Indiana's Deborah Tobias Field in Bloomington, Ind.
