Hall of Fame
Christina Boarman Zajac devoted much of her early years to the sport of field hockey. That devotion led to a lot of recognition and many honors, culminating in her induction into Towson’s Hall of Fame as one of the Tigers’ most dominant players in program history.
Before arriving to TU she would qualify as a member of the Junior U.S. Girls under 16 National Team and the U-19 Girls National Team. She played for the Ocelots Club team for nine years helping that program compete in three National Hockey Festivals, nine California Cups and four appearances at the AAU Disney Classic. A 10-year member of the United States Field Hockey Association, she was part of the Futures Elite program, competing in six National Futures Tournaments while visiting a number of foreign countries. Just prior to entering Towson she competed in the Canadian/American Games.
When it came time for high school, Christina opted for St. Paul’s School for Girls where she piled up the accolades as a four-year starter. A two-time first team All-State selection and a three-time first team All-Metro pick, she led the Gators to three league championships. In addition to Towson, she was heavily recruited by many of the NCAA’s elite field hockey programs including Duke, Wake Forest, Virginia, Maryland and Northwestern.
A four-year starter, she shattered Towson’s career records. At the time of her HOF induction, she was the program’s all-time leader for goals scored (46), assists (36) and points (128). She had a double-digit lead on the career lists for assists and points. She continued to hold single season records for most goals scored (20) and most points (55). Highly decorated, Christina was selected All-CAA first team twice and second team once after being picked to the league’s All-Rookie team as a freshman. She was a CAA Preseason Team selection three consecutive years. She was named to the Mid-Atlantic All-Regional first team in 2008, one of only four Tigers so recognized up to the time of her induction. A Psychology major, Christina was a four-time member of the NFHCA National Academic Team.
Following graduation Christina played club field hockey in the city. In 2018 she began coaching the Warhawks Field Hockey Club, taking the travel team, which was annually ranked among the top five and six nationally, to the National Club Championships.
