Katie Gibb and Laine Delmonte

The Lafayette Field Hockey Team adds experience and pride by representing their country in international play. Laine Delmotte ’25 and incoming freshman Katie Gibb ’27 have been named to the Canadian Junior Pan Am game roster. Katie is the fifth recruit that was revealed in the press and through other sources to the incoming class. It is anticipated there may be several more revealed before summer workouts.

Laine is a rising junior who saw significant action during the season and will no doubt be a contributor in 2023.

Leo Baumgardner ’26 who practices with the team has been named to the USA Junior Men’s Pan Am roster!  Of course Amanda Magadan ’17 was named Co-Captain for the USA WNT who will compete in Pro-League this spring and. summer.

Coaching slots in Division one continue to be open and closed. The biggest of course was the surprising announcement of Erin Matson to the open UNC head coach job. Erin just finished her fifth student year at UNC and graduating.  It will be her first coaching experience. To my knowledge the top jobs at Lehigh, Syracuse and Northeastern remain open while Rider announced their head coach retired along with her asst coach and husband.

Congrats to our 4.O students Becca Harbert ’22, Shea Balderson ’23, Alex Conway ’24, Alex Darrah ’25 and Amiee Hoefnagel ’26!
