WILLIMANTIC, CT — Twenty-six student athletes are competing on Eastern Connecticut State University’s field hockey team this fall 2021 season.
Among the athletes is first-year student Kiana Webster of Raymond, number 33, who plays Goalie and majors in New Media Studies.
Due to COVID-19 limiting their 2020 season, the women’s field hockey team is ready to get back to regular play. “Eastern field hockey was able to have a successful spring and we are looking to expand on that success as we go into this fall,” said Head Coach Christine Hutchinson. “We have a large first-year class that is talented and will contribute during games and practices. The team has bonded well and is working hard to prepare for our season.”
