Check out Montclair's Field Hockey Team Website
This year Montclair State Field Hockey had a phenomenal season with an overall record of 17-3, allowing them to be ranked
6th out of all division 3 collegiated teams in the United States. This made the team Montclair's most winningest
sports program in school history. The team never lost a game on their home field which was a goal they set for themselves
early on in the season. The team ended their season with a loss in the second round of the NCAA tournament to a school
from New York (William Smith) 2-1. This also marked only the second time Montclair State's program has made it to this
level.
When did Field Hockey originate?
Field Hockey was invented in 1895 with the establishment
of the first All England Women’s Field Hockey Association. In 1901, an English woman named Constance Appleby introduced
the game to women in the United States while a summer student at Harvard. Appleby went on to teach the game at women’s
colleges throughout the Northeast. It was not until 1928 that men began playing the game in the United States.
