#21 Field Hockey Heads to North Carolina for a Weekend Pair

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Coming off an upset of 2021 national runner-up Liberty and moving into the national rankings, No. 21-ranked William & Mary field hockey hits the road for matches in the state of North Carolina this weekend. The Tribe heads to Davidson (3-1) on Friday for a 6 p.m. match, before traveling to No. 16 Duke (2-2) on Sunday at 1 p.m. W&M's match at Duke will be broadcast on ACC Network Extra.

After suffering its first setback of the season against Richmond, W&M (3-1) rebounded with a 1-0 overtime shutout of then-No. 6 Liberty on Sept. 4. Senior Ireland Miller converted a penalty stroke with less than a minute remaining in overtime to lift the Tribe to the win. The Green and Gold defense, headlined by junior goalkeeper Maddie George, blanked a Flames team that entered the game as the national leader in scoring. George made 10 of her career-high 12 saves in the second half and overtime. For her efforts, George was named the NFHCA Defensive Player of the Week, the CAA co-Player of the Week and the William & Mary Student-Athlete of the Week presented by the Virginia Lottery.

After winning three of its first four games, all in OT, the Tribe moved into the NFHCA National Rankings at No. 21.
