Field Hockey - Varsity

Historical beginnings: Carol Anderson, owner of PennMonto Field Hockey and Lacrosse Company, was named Mercersburg’s first female sport coach in 1972. Her 1973 field hockey team went undefeated.

Recent graduates have gone on to play at Bucknell University, Gettysburg College, Ursinus College, and the University of Virginia.

The field, which is also utilized by the girls’ lacrosse program, measures 375’ x 225’ and features a SprintTurf surface and eight boxes for maximizing practice and workout opportunities.
