High school career

Heck was a three-time All-American and three-time state champion at Eastern Regional High School in New Jersey.[1] She played alongside her senior sister Kara as a freshman in 2018, scoring 44 goals as the team became undefeated Tournament of Champions winners.[2][3] She had been a center midfielder on her club team but was moved to center forward during her first season at Eastern.[4] She totaled 78 goals in 25 games as a sophomore in 2019, as the team finished runners-up in the Tournament of Champions.[2] She scored 76 goals in 14 games in the abbreviated 2020 season, when the state playoffs were not held.[5][6] In her senior year in 2021, she broke the national single-season scoring record with 125 goals, with her last one being the game winner to claim her second Tournament of Champions.[7][8] She was named the USA Today Field Hockey Player of the Year.[8]

College career

Heck started every game for the North Carolina Tar Heels as a freshman in 2022, receiving Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Freshman of the Year, first-team All-ACC, and second-team All-American honors.[9] She helped the team go undefeated en route to winning the 2022 NCAA championship, where she opened scoring in the final to help beat Northwestern 2–1.[10] As a sophomore in 2023, she led the team in scoring with 34 points on 13 goals and 8 assists, finishing the season with the winning goal of the title game penalty shootout in the 2023 NCAA tournament.[11][12] She earned All-ACC and All-American first-team honors, the NFHCA National Player of the Year award, and the Honda Sports Award as the country's best player.[6][9]

International career

Heck was first called up to camp with the United States senior national team in July 2022 ahead of the 2022–23 Women's FIH Pro League.[13] She won gold with the national under-21 team at the 2023 Women's Junior Pan American Championship and competed at the 2023 Women's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup.[14]

In indoor hockey, Heck represented the United States on the winning team at the 2021 and 2024 Women's Indoor Pan American Cup.[14]

Personal life

Heck was raised in Ocean City, New Jersey, the youngest of four children of Roy and Kerry Heck.[9][15] Her father and her brother Jordan played college basketball at Stockton University; her mother played for James Madison's field hockey and lacrosse teams and coached Heck's last high school season; her brother Andrew played football at Ursinus College; and her sister, Kara, played field hockey at Boston College.[9][15] Heck trained with the WC Eagles field hockey club.[1]
