TOWSON, Md. – Towson University field hockey's Olivia Miller and Megan Popp have been selected to compete in the 2025 Senior Nexus Championship, announced by USA Field Hockey on Monday. Lydia Bennett is listed as a top alternate.
 
The event will be held at the Virginia Beach Regional Training Center from July 18-20.
 
The Senior NXC is an annual event featuring 145 elite collegiate and post-collegiate athletes that serves as a selection opportunity for the 2025-2026 U.S. U-21 and Junior Women's National Team Selection Camps, the U.S. Women's National Development Squad and the U.S. Women's National Team. All selected athletes either trialed at one of seven USA Field Hockey Senior Nexus Training Sites or were previously named to the U.S. U-18 Junior Women's National Team's White Team or the U.S. U-21 Women's National Team.
 
Miller was a key player in the Tiger's midfield as a freshman starting every game and playing over 1000 minutes, one of six Towson players to do so, while tallying four points. The State College, Pennsylvania native was named to the CAA All-Rookie Team and was invited to the U.S. U-21 Junior Women's National Team Selection Camp this past summer.
 
Popp has been a starter for Towson the past two seasons and also eclipsed 1000 minutes played after starting every game in 2024. The Magnolia, Delaware native won the 2024-25 CAA Leadership & Sport Excellence award for field hockey and is a member of the NFHCA National Academic Squad.
 
Bennett played in every game as a sophomore and finished the season with five points while tying for third on the team with three assists.
