From Eastern Connecticut State University: The Warriors at Eastern Connecticut State University recently named 22 students to the 2018-19 field hockey team. Among the athletes is Heather Sholtes '21 of Bethel, who majors in Psychology. Her position on the team is Defense.

"The Eastern Connecticut State University Field Hockey program is looking forward to a successful year on and off the field," said Head Coach Christine Hutchinson.

We will be very competitive and looking to take the Little East Conference by surprise once again."

The Little East Conference (LEC) was established in 1986 as a single-sport league by six public institutions throughout New England. The LEC has since become a multi-sport league with eight primary members, six affiliate members and 19 championships.
Eastern offers a broad-based, Division III athletic program aimed at safeguarding the amateur aspects of the various sports and maintaining the proper perspective of athletics within Eastern's academic mission. By placing emphasis on the values of equity, diversity, sportsmanship, health and wellbeing, Eastern's athletic program encourages students to contribute more effectively to our society and live richer, fuller lives.
