Field Hockey
Intercollegiate field hockey at Smith began in 1971 as one of the college's first three varsity sports. Since then the program has grown to include opportunities for regional and national recognition through Seven Sisters championship play and through membership in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC). Traditional rivals Wesleyan and Amherst also remain on the schedule.
