The University honored field hockey senior midfielders and 2012 Olympians Paige Selenski and Michelle Vittesse at halftime of the women's basketball team's 62-52 victory against Florida State Sunday at John Paul Jones Arena.
Selenski and Vittesse each contributed a goal to the U.S. national team's 4-2 upset of world No. 1 Argentina at last October's 2011 Pan American Games final in Guadalajara, Mexico. The victory meant the national squad automatically qualified for this summer's Olympic Games in London.
Selenski, a native of Shavertown, Pa., is a three-time All-American, garnering first-team honors for the 2009 and 2010 seasons. Her 73 career goals rank third for Virginia all-time.
Vitesse, from Cherry Hill, N.J., joined Selenski on the 2010 All-America first team and earned third-team recognition in 2009.
Both Selenski and Vittesse redshirted the 2011 season to fulfill their national team obligations and will return to Virginia for action in 2012.
