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). 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.
Complete game day information is available below.

Last Time Out
W&M earned a convincing 20-5 victory against Longwood in its home opener at Martin Family Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Tribe's impressive goal total marked the program's highest scoring output since 2022 when it earned a 20-15 win at Campbell. Additionally, the defensive performance marked the fewest goals allowed by W&M since 2020 when it defeated Old Dominion, 11-4.
Grace Walter (3g, 2a),
Mila Millhouse (3g, 1a) and
Taylor McCall (3g) all recorded hat tricks to lead the Tribe offensively, as the trio was among a group of 11 W&M standouts who found the back of the cage.
Aubrey Roth also came up big with five points (2g, 3a), while
Finley Hoffman and
Nora Begley provided two goals apiece.
Chloe Babich totaled a game-high eight draw controls, which was just one shy from breaking into W&M's single-game top-10 list.
