Field Hockey: 2023 Schedule announced

[FU73]

The 2023 Fairfield University Field Hockey schedule features a 17-game slate which includes opponents from eight different athletic conferences, providing another formidable campaign for the Stags. In addition to its annual eight games against Northeast Conference (NEC) foes, Fairfield will also play multiple opponents from the Ivy League, Patriot League, and America East.

Head Coach Jackie Kane and her team will keep the suitcases packed during the first part of the upcoming season, paying just two games on campus through the end of September. The team opens the campaign at Hofstra University on August 29 before taking on the University of Iowa in a neutral setting on the campus of University at Albany on September 1.

The Stags begin the home portion of their schedule on Monday, September 4 when they welcome AE Bryant University at University Field. Game time is set for 11 am for the Labor Day meeting.

The Fairfield University Field Hockey team finished the 2022 season with an (11-9 overall) record and (5-2) in Northeast Conference play. The Stags reached the NEC Tournament and won their semifinal match over host Wagner College before falling 1-2 in overtime to regular-season champion Rider University in the 2022 NEC Championship Game.

IMO, whomever is endorsing the design of the graphics for these schedules has no clue what clear and effective communication is all about. Noticed we are using this format for other sports as well. IMO, someone thinks they are being creative but failing to communicate effectively. Had no idea what a couple of the above schools were without further research. Especially for the non-MAAC schools. Had no idea what the Sept 1 game was without reading the article. JUST DESIGN THE DAMN SCHEDULE with no ambiguity.

I don’t follow field hockey at all. Can anyone explain why we’re playing Iowa in a stand alone game in Albany, New York on September 1?

Edit: Just looked up Iowa’s field hockey schedule and saw that they’ll be playing the University of Albany on Sunday September 3rd. Nice job of getting the game scheduled by us since the NCAA stats list Iowa as #10 in their rpi at the end of last season. Our rpi was 42 and Albany was #13.
