The South AfricanHockey Association named the Kovsie hockey striker, Izelle Lategan, as the U/21 women’s hockey player of the year.

Lategan, who matriculated from Paarl Gimnasium last year, already made her international debut for the SA U/16 squad against Argentina in 2010. She is currently a first-year BA Human Movement Science student at the university.

On provincial level she represented both the Free State women’s squad and the U/21 women’s side this year. She also captained the SA U/21 women’s hockey team and was called up to the women’s Protea side in 2013.
