Members of the Missouri State field hockey team arrived to Missouri State Athletic Director Kyle Moats’ press conference in unison, but they already knew what he was going to say.
That didn’t stop their tears.
Moats announced on Monday that intercollegiate field hockey would be discontinued at Missouri State. The MSU Board of Governors approved the recommendations of a university work group to restructure intercollegiate offerings.
This cut was a result of a February announcement where President Clif Smart created a work group after Gov. Eric Greitens announced his budget recommendations for the fiscal year of 2018.
