Testimonial
How nice is your new field (Bigler Field)? "It's ridiculously nice. It's spoiling. Our field and the way the layout is and the way they water it and the way the water is equally distributed on the field, the way the ball doesn't go far because we have a fence close up to the sidelines—I honestly believe we have the best field hockey field in the country… I think it's a big recruiting tool." Penn State Field Hockey Head Coach Char Morret in Penn States Media Sports Day article
