BRYANT FIELD HOCKEY SET TO TACKLE DIVISION I CHALLENGES; KICKS OFF SEASON WITH WEEKEND IN PHILLY
SMITHFIELD, RI -- In August of 1999, 14 young women assembled on a temporary field for the first practice in the history of Bryant University field hockey. Just a few short years later, in 2002, the program won a share of its first conference title and was off to the NCAA Final Four, a feat it repeated in 2003. It certainly would have been difficult to imagine on that hot August day that in less than 10 seasons, the program would have won a pair of conference titles, made two Final Four appearances, finished the year ranked among the nation's top-10 teams on more than five occasions and had multiple players recognized as all-conference and all-America selections. What is even more surreal is that this is only the beginning of the story. The fall of 2008 marks the first season of Division I play for Bulldog field hockey. As the program embarks on this new journey, the tradition of excellence which began in '99 - the pride of wearing the black and gold and the legacy of playing "For Keeps" - has grown stronger every season. These are the hallmarks of the team's Tradition of Excellence.
