Palmerton graduate Sydney Frantz started her junior season at East Stroudsburg University by finding the back of the cage in the Warriors’ 10-0 victory over St. Thomas Aquinas.

Frantz scored ESU’s final goal of the contest during the third quarter, with Allyson Mitchell recording the assist. The junior forward was one of eight Warriors to score in the season-opening victory.

After appearing in three games as a freshman in 2024, Frantz saw action in 19 contests last season and scored a goal in a victory over Adelphi. She was also named a PSAC Scholar-Athlete and earned a spot on the 2026 NFHCA National Academic Squad.

The 2023 Times News Field Hockey Player of the Year, Frantz finished her Palmerton career with school records of 68 goals and 42 assists and helped the Blue Bombers capture a district championship.

East Stroudsburg dominated St. Thomas Aquinas 51-0 in shots, putting 30 on goal. The Warriors (1-0) will host No. 7 Assumption on Sunday at 1 p.m
