Watch it bub! We were 3-3 in the league last year. That's the only non-losing league record in over a decade, so obviously things are looking up.

Why not ease off the gas pedal? I just attended 2 games and met some parents and some of the team. There is none of this harsh rush to judgement. The parents are happy to be here and the players are dedicated while recognizing their challenges. The team are doing their best, having lost a talented few to graduation who are sorely missed. Coach Foto is working hard.

Go 'gate!

will she be "working hard" in another 10 to 15 years continuing to be rewarded for winning 35% of the field hockey contests...Coach Emmit Davis got the boot with a record that was tangibly better, in a sport that has been a difficult one for The Gate...gimme a break

Agreed if FH has zero scholarships, zero coach-supported admits, and minimized travel and recruiting costs. If FH is using scholarship dollars or coach-supported admits, the accountability must be higher.

Colgate reports spending over $700k on Field Hockey in 2013 (last year for which data are available).

American University 961185
Boston University 1198040
Bucknell University 603447
Colgate University 700127
College of the Holy Cross 641527
Georgetown University 331169
Lafayette College 746137
Lehigh University 507083

They have scholarships...so cross off that excuse. May not be a lot, but they have other means to get kids in.

I agree Steve. I have been in touch with the coach and team and they are trying their best, no doubt! Will continue to support them. Won't kick a group when they are down and giving it their all! Go Colgate FH!!!
