It is so rare that an athlete is both capable of playing 2 at that level at the same time, and to find coaches who will allow it. You typically have to be so good at both that the coach who recruited you to play and is giving you scholarship money is afraid to tell you no.
And unfortunately I am about to sound like an rear but its not intended this way. If your DD as a freshman is on the HS JV team of the field hockey team, she probably isn't that freakishly good athlete who is good enough to force a school to let her play both.
A kid from our HS played Div I football as a QB, Half of his junior year and his senior year he was the starter, actually set a bowl game record for passing... When he asked his football coach if he could play baseball the coach said, "just as soon as the baseball team picks up your scholarship I'll consider it"
