We all want to win the conferenceand move on, but our ultimategoal is to play the best hockey we canand come off the field feeling like we’vedoing everything possible to meet thatgoal.”The Bishops open the season atWashington & Jefferson on Sept. 1,then kick off their home slate with acontest against Hendrix (Ark.) the nextday.

The 1925football team, under George Gauthier, “The Little Giant,” went 7-1-1. Itsonly loss came to Ohio State by a 10-3 score, and it tied Syracuse, 3-3,en route to winning Ohio Conference and Big Six championships.2007 Ohio Wesleyan Field Hockey

These core values are easilystripped into three basic principles: an almost-unanimousendorsement of the pursuit of excellence in allthings, including athletics; universal identification ofathletics as an integral part of the educational missionof the institution and citation of the intrinsic value toeach of the participants, including personal and socialmaturation, the education of the whole person, thedevelopment of a healthy lifestyle and learning thevalue of the pursuit of goals in a collective context; andidentification of athletics as one of the best ways todevelop and foster a sense of community. The universalbenefits of athletics are conferred alike on the quarterbackat Ohio State playing in front of 100,000 spectatorsand the Ohio Wesleyan field hockey player playing infront of a small weekday crowd.2006 Bishop Statistics7

The campaign isfocused on both athletics and recreation,and it is estimated that at least 80 percentof the student body uses these facilitieson a regular basis. The upgrades tothe Selby field and track, especially theartificial turf installation, will extend theuse of this facility seasonally, and it willallow teams to share the fields evenduring the individual team seasons.Incoming student-athletes have reportedtheir excitement over the prospectof playing in renovated and new facilities.For example, our very strong softballprogram will soon benefit from itsown new field, now being constructedsouth of the baseball diamond. Student-athleterecruiting has benefittednot only from the obvious ongoing improvement,but also from the plannedupgrades and new facilities that willcome on line as we continue to receivecontributions to the Remembering Mr.Rickey campaign.2007 Ohio Wesleyan Field Hockey
