LOUISVILLE, Ky. - University of Louisville field hockey alum Ayeisha McFerran will continue her field hockey as a member of the Dutch field hockey club Kampong SV in Utrecht.

McFerran (Larne, Northern Ireland) will join the professional ranks after a stellar career at UofL. The program's first four-time NFHCA All-American finished her career ranked among the school's top three in career victories (50) victories and shutouts (20) and goals against average (1.40). McFerran earned her bachelor's degree in exercise science in May 2019.

The goalkeeper is in her sixth year as a member of the Irish National Team which is set to compete in the European Championships in August. She was named Best Goalkeeper of the 2018 World Cup after leading Ireland to a silver medal. She was instrumental in the Green Army's historic run, surrendering only three goals in their first five matches, and dominating in a pair of shootout victories as they entered the finals.
