BOSTON – The spring 2021 field hockey season is underway as a trio of #AEFH teams hit the turf last week. Preseason favorite Monmouth topped Hofstra in its opener while New Hampshire made a comeback win over UMass.
The Wildcats will be back in action at home on Wednesday in non-conference play while Cal and UC Davis begin their league slates on Sunday. UMass Lowell and Vermont will also start their spring campaigns this week.
Fans will once again be able to watch the majority of #AEFH this season. Select games will air on The AE on ESPN while others will air on AmericaEast.TV. Those games will be available on computers, OTT devices and the brand new America East app, which is available on all IOS and Android devices and can be found by searching ‘America East Conference’ in app stores.
