The field hockey team headed into ‘Alumnae Weekend’ on a hot win streak that featured four wins and zero losses. Tenacious defensive of play from their midfielders and freshman goalkeeper Ayeisha McFerran ultimately led to three consecutive shutouts and a number higher in their national ranking to No. 11 in the country.
Their success on the offensive side comes from their leading scorer, forward Stephanie Byrne. Byrne is a redshirt sophomore from Berlin, N.J., where she accomplished a list of accolades at an early start to her field hockey career at Eastern High School.
