Bryn Mawr opens new turf field Friday
Bryn Mawr field hockey coach Jeanette Budzik could not keep the happiness out of her voice as she talked about what was about to happen Friday.
"We're cutting the ribbon on our new turf field," Budzik said. "We've been waiting for this for about 20 years."
Both the school's No. 13-ranked soccer team and the No. 5 field hockey team will play on the turf Friday.
"It's so nice," Budzik said. "We've always wanted a field like this. It means the girls' stick work will really shine because they'll be able to control the ball on the surface and it means that as long as there isn't any thunder or lightning we'll be able to play our games. We've been out there practicing every day in the rain."
The Mawrtians' field hockey team will face Roland Park, under the direction of new head coach Eliza McLaren, Friday at 3:30.
