As a member of AU's Women's Field Hockey team, I would like to respond to both Kevin Hilgers' article concerning IM football complaints about the new turf, and Jesse Epstein's accompanying editorial. AU Field Hockey has been trying to get such a field as we have now for 6 years, in order to finally place our facilities at the same level as other Division I teams. For 6 years we have been waking at 4.30 AM in order to practice on UMD's or Georgetown's turf. We have scheduled our season around theirs, begging turf times as the lowest priority. For the past two years we have lost our right to host the Patriot League Tournament-despite being undefeated in the regular season-because we did not have a turf of our own. I realize that IM football has had to play off campus as well, but I beg to assert that Field Hockey has more of a vested interest in the new turf.
