Aside from the GW men’s club lacrosse team’s schedule being posted on The Hatchet’s Web site, GW club sports teams are rarely mentioned. While Division I sports are certainly exciting and newsworthy, a large portion of GW’s student population takes part in club sports programs which are also of interest to The Hatchet’s readers.

These teams go out and play field hockey, ultimate Frisbee, lacrosse, baseball, rugby, ice hockey, etc. Each team does so with passion and skill as part of teams run largely or entirely by the students themselves, yet their progress and achievements are overlooked by the student newspaper.

The women’s field hockey club advanced to the finals of Maryland’s spring tournament April 20-21. This underdog appearance in the final rounds would have been an unimaginable feat for the team just years ago, when they had to scrape together enough players in order to field a full team for many tournaments.
