Celie Constantine in last year’s game vs. VCU. Her shot set up one of the Wildcat goals in that match.

A trip to national power Michigan, along with 10 home games, highlights Davidson field hockey’s 18-game 2023 schedule.

The Wildcats return five players who started at least 16 games a year ago, including Celie Constantine, Macy Curtis, Hannah Merritt, Sarah Minges and Sib Naaktgeboren.

“We’re so excited about the opportunity our 2023 schedule presents,” said head coach Zoe Almquist, who enters her fifth season. “This team has already been working hard and stretching out of our comfort zone throughout our spring training and team trip to South Africa. I’m anxious to see that preparation play out against our 2023 opponents. It is always such an honor to be a part of the fantastic competition in the A-10. On top of those games, we have a really dynamic non-conference slate, and I think the whole thing has come together nicely. We can’t wait to get the whole group back on campus and get going!”
