COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Sophomore returnee Mora Rulli gained national attention Thursday morning after being named to the 2026 National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Watchlist, powered by Performance Sports Events (PSE).
Rulli enters her second year for Central Michigan after starting in all 19 games last season. The Argentinian native was named to the All-MAC Freshman team last year after leading the Chippewas in assists and ranking third in total points. Rulli tallied nine assists and four goals over 19 games while recording 18 shots on goal, leaving her with a 62.1 SOG%.
The 2026 NFHCA Watchlist recognizes field hockey student-athletes who have demonstrated a high level of achievement and are considered among those with strong potential for NFHCA All-Region and All-American consideration this season. Student-athletes were nominated by their NFHCA member coaches and must have earned qualifying field hockey recognition within the previous two years. Qualifying honors include NFHCA All-Region, NFHCA All-America, All-Conference, Senior Nexus Championship selection, NCAA All-Tournament Team, or selection to a U.S. National or international team roster.
Rulli and the Chippewas start the 2026 season in California, taking on UC Davis Aug. 28, California Aug. 30 and will round out the trip at Stanford on Aug. 31.
