Looking to bounce back from a one-win season in 2016-2017, the expectation for communication during the season is extremely high for the App State field hockey in their first season as a Mid-American Conference team.
“The new conference changes a lot,” head coach Megan Dawson said. “We want to get ready for conference play and now we will play bigger universities, so hopefully our level is raised by the time we start conference play.”
As a member of the Northern Pacific Field Hockey Conference through 2014, the Mountaineers played the last two seasons as an independent team.
