WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - William & Mary field hockey wraps up the home portion of its schedule on Friday, Oct. 24, when it hosts Hofstra. The Tribe opens a three-match road swing to end the season, beginning at Richmond on Sunday, Oct. 26.
Â
The match vs. the Pride carries a 3:30 p.m. start time at Busch Field and will be streamed on FloCollege. The W&M-Richmond match-up is scheduled for a 4 p.m. start on Sunday and the game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
Clear Bag Policy and Metal Detectors
Furthering its commitment to a first class and secure environment at home athletic events, William & Mary will implement the use of walk-through metal detectors at the entrances to athletic venues (both ticketed and non-ticketed events) beginning in the fall of 2025. This enhanced security method mirrors standard practice at most major professional and intercollegiate athletic events throughout the country and compliments the
Clear Bag Policy already in place. Fans will proceed through metal detectors prior to having their tickets scanned or entering a venue for non-tickets events. Entrants will not need to remove items such as belts, cell phones, coins, jackets, jewelry, watches, wallets, shoes or other small objects. If additional screening is necessary, security staff will ask the individual to proceed to a secondary screening area, where they will be asked to divest themselves of certain items and pass through again until clear.
