Jessica Javelet (2003-06) was the program's first three-time National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) All-America selection (2004, 2005, 2006) and earned BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2005 and 2006. The three-time all-conference team member is the most prolific scorer in program history, owning both the season and career records for goals and points. The Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., native capped her career as the school's first Honda Award finalist for field hockey.
As successful as she was on the field, Javelet was equally accomplished in the classroom. She graduated in 2007 with a 4.0 GPA in marketing as the valedictorian of the business school and was honored as UofL's Outstanding Graduating Senior. The program's only three-time CoSIDA Academic All-American was also named the 2006-07 BIG EAST Female Scholar Athlete of the Year and earned an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. She was selected to USA Field Hockey's Under 21 team in 2005 and trained within the national team program until 2009. Javelet competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics as a member of the USA Women's Rugby Sevens team.
