SCHEDULE | ROSTER

PAXTON, Mass. - The Anna Maria College field hockey team returns to action on Saturday, August 31 at 11:00 AM against the Worcester St. Lancers as they look to improve on their strides from last season.  During the 2018 season, the AMCATS recorded an overall record of 7-10 with a Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) record of 2-5 and a GNAC first-round loss to Colby-Sawyer. 

WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO

• The AMCATS have earned at least a GNAC first round birth each of the last five years.
• Anna Maria returns five seniors, Ashleigh Curll (Worcester, Mass.), Meghan Gillis (Brockton, Mass.), Lauren Lapierre (Worcester, Mass.), Anne Melanson (Grafton, Mass.), and Allyson Shaw (Holden, Mass.) that will all look to be key factors for the upcoming season. 
• The squad will feature four double-digit point student-athletes, Shaw (18 points), Lapierre (17 points), Melanson (17 points), and Chayna Bingham-Hendricks (Mashpee, Mass.) (15 points).
