111 Michele ZeidersOur children from age 5 to 24 need to keep active in school functions, especially organized sports....our youth of today tend to get into trouble without other forms of positive activities to keep them busy!!!!.....they also need band and chorus!
112 AnonymousIn this time of inactivity, high drinking, and partying at colleges, the last thing you should be doing is cutting athletic programs!

119 Gayle ButricoI realize that it is difficult to made your budget, but I believe all sports are important. Not just the ones that sell tickets.
120 Susan KennedyPlease keep your Varsity level Field Hockey team. This is a sport growing in our area of New Jersey and many girls who may not have otherwise been exposed to the sport are now playing.

122 AnonymousThis is a highly technical, olympic sport that deserves the draw of the best the sport has to offer...URI might just hold that next olympic gold medalist.

130 Stephanie ReichardI have a daughter that played field hockey in college and is now an assistant coach at a D1 university. I know how much time, energy and passion these athletes put into their sport. If someone told them their sport was going to be cancelled, it would be devastating. First of all, the university "invited" these athletes into their community thru scholarship monies and academics. These athletes believed in them....selected them over other universities they were considering and helped to build the future of their programs through recruitment, action and word....too bad these decisions have to be made to a group of student/athletes that "gave" their all.
131 Amy CusickI am an alumni of URI, and would hate to see this program disbanded. I understand the need for financial cutbacks at major universities, but field hockey is not the team to cut. The game of field hockey is an international game, and can be a recruiter for the University for foreign players. This would be a great asset to the field hockey team and the University. I oppose any motion to cut URI's field hockey team.

138 Jacqueline EarleySports play an integral part in a college students life. They build character and provide psychological, physiological and sociological benefits. I urge the powers that be to reconsider their decision to discontinue the following teams at the University of Rhode Island: men's swim team, men's tennis team, the gymnastics teams and the field hockey team.

142 LM RobnsonPlease keep field hockey, it really is a wonderful worth it endeavour.
143 AnonymousTo whom it may concern, Field Hockey is an important way to develop. The field hockey sport is not only great as a physical activity but also mentally and socially. It would be shame that "minor sports" are being eliminated in order to build out already existing programs. Please preserve the Ladies Field Hockey Team at Your School. T

145 Jenn BadamiAs a Field Hockey Coach and President of the North Jersey Field Hockey Coaches Association, I support all Field Hockey programs and hope none are dimished because of the lack of funding.

148 AnonymousNo WAY can they take away Field Hockey as a varsity sport. It is just as important as another sport, like football, basketball or tennis.
149 Nicole FernandesI have a few friends on this wonderful team, and to see it go would be a huge tragedy. This team is showing great potential and strength in its new coaching staff and young players. This University can and will compete at the division 1 level. Do not leave these girls without the sport they absolutely love to play. Keep this program alive and allow them to continue!!!!!!
