COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Senior captains Tasmin Cookman (London, England) and Nicole Poulakis (Ajax, Ontario) of the University of New Hampshire field hockey team were named to the 2025 NFHCA Collegiate Senior Team on Thursday.
The NFHCA named 38 Division I senior student-athletes to the Senior Team, which celebrates competitive excellence, leadership, and lasting influence within their programs.
Selections are based on nominations submitted by NFHCA member coaches and reviewed by committees composed entirely of NFHCA coach members. Seniors are eligible for selection only once during their collegiate careers.
Cookman is a three-time NFHCA All-American – Second Team in 2023 and Third Team in 2022 and 2024 – and two-time America East Offensive Player of the Year (2023, 2024), as well as a four-time All-Conference First Team selection and two-time All-ECAC Team honoree. The forward was named to the 2025 America East All-Championship Team, as she recorded an assist in both the semifinal and final.
In 19 games – all starts – Cookman recorded four goals and 11 points for 19 points to rank third on the team in assists and fourth in points; with those numbers, she ranked third in America East in assists. She tallied an assist in the NCAA first round game at No. 3 Harvard to end her UNH career with an assist in four consecutive games and point in five straight.
Cookman, who started all 78 games in four seasons, is one of the top point producers in UNH history. On the career leaderboards, she is #4 in assists (33), #5 in points (135) and #6 in goals (51).
The three-time captain scored three goals in a game four times in her career and tallied a personal-best seven points in three of those games.
Poulakis' 2025 season accolades include America East Offensive Player of the Year, All-Conference First Team, All-Academic Team, All-Championship Team and four-time Offensive Player of the Week. Poulakis was named the Most Outstanding Player of the conference tourney as she scored the game-winning goal in both the semifinal and final with a total of three goals in two games.
For her career, Poulakis is a three-time All-Conference First Team selection and has made the NFHCA National Academic Squad every year.
The midfielder recorded one of the top single-season efforts in program history with 23 goals and eight assists for 54 points in 19 games (all starts). On UNH's list of single-season superlatives, Poulakis is #3 in goals and #5 in points. The 23 points and 54 points are both the highest total by a Wildcat since 2011, and she is the first Wildcat to lead the conference in goals or points since that '11 season. On the conference single-season leaderboard, she is 10th in goals.
Poulakis is ranked third in the nation in goals per game and fourth in points per game, and she is the conference leader in both stats as well as eighth in assists per game.
She took a nine-game goal streak and 15-game point streak into the NCAA first round; both streaks are the longest by a 'Cats since (at least) 2009. In the 2025 season alone, Poulakis scored multiple goals in a game seven times, including a career-high four – the eight points that game also marked a personal best.
The two-time captain made 76 starts in 78 career games with totals of 60 goals and 29 assists for 149 points to rank #2 on UNH's all-time leaderboard in both goals and points, as well as #5 in assists.
The senior captains led UNH to a share of the 2025 regular-season America East title, the tournament championship and an NCAA tourney berth – all firsts for the Wildcats since 2013.
