Hall of Fame
The 1975-76 field hockey Longwood team went down as one of the best field hockey teams in the nation that year, finishing the season ranked sixth in the nation.
Â
The Lancers went 16-5-4, the most wins in a season in program history still, and the Lancers earned a spot in the AIAW-USFHA National Field Hockey Championship, where they placed sixth. The team beat San Jose State and Wooster in the postseason run.
Â
That team scored 68 goals, which is still the school record, while also piling up 10 shutouts. Dr. Carolyn Hodges Crosby, a 2022 selection for the hall of fame, was at the helm to guide the team to national recognition.
