Bantams Honor Umpires for Umpire Appreciation Week; Trinity Falls to Wesleyan, 5-1

HARTFORD, Conn. – Trinity College Field Hockey suffered a 5-1 New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) loss to in-state rival No. 13 Wesleyan University Wednesday evening at Robin L. Sheppard Field. The Bantams fall to 5-4 overall and 1-4 in conference play, while the Cardinals improve to 5-2 overall and 2-2 in the NESCAC.

During Field Hockey Umpire Appreciation Week, the Bantams and Cardinals celebrated the dedicated umpires who make their sport possible.
