We have a strong senior class returning and strong leadership within the program, and I am looking forward to welcoming our new assistant coach, Kaiya Sabur, to the program. Coming off of a strong spring season, the team has set high standards and goals for themselves and I am excited to get to work to accomplish them. This year I want to encourage our team to be reminded of their "why" and what drives them each day as Washington College Field Hockey players. I can't wait to get started!"
