Lindsey Yeiser Hibshman '01
Field Hockey/Basketball/Softball
Hometown: Richland, Pa.
High School: ELCO
LVC field hockey's first three-time all-American, Lindsey Yeiser Hibshman '01 remains one of the most decorated student-athletes in that program's rich history.
Elected in her first year of eligibility, Hibshman was the first Dutchmen - and one of only two overall - to earn three NFHCA All-America awards, while also earning three all-region and all-MAC selections. The 1999 MAC Player of the Year and 1997 MAC Rookie of the Year, she arrived at LVC from ELCO High School and became a mainstay as a shut-down defender, leading LVC to the 1997 and 2000 MAC championships and a 1997 NCAA Final Four appearance. She was selected to play in the NFHCA Senior All-Star Game in 2000 and was a three-time team MVP.
Hibshman was also a standout in basketball and softball, playing each for three seasons. She was named the softball team MVP in 1999. She earned the LVC Female Athlete of the Year honor as a senior in 2001.
