RICHMOND, Va. – University of Richmond field hockey head coach Martu Loncarica has announced the team's 2025 schedule, playing 10 games at Crenshaw Field as part of an 18-contest regular season. UR will face non-conference foes from six different conferences, including three of the four 2024 NCAA Championship semifinalists, and have six Atlantic 10 Conference match-ups.
"We've built this schedule to challenge our team against some of the best programs in the country," said Loncarica. "Playing six Top 20 opponents reflects our belief in where Richmond Field Hockey is headed. I'm excited to see what this group can do, and I can't wait for the season to get started."
"This group is ready to take another big step forward, and this schedule will prepare us for the moments that matter most," said Loncarica. "We were the second most improved team in the nation last year, jumping from 66th to 34th in the rankings. Competing against top teams is part of our ambitious goal of breaking into the Top 20."
