Student athletes playing Ivy League field hockey deserve an opportunity to develop all season long and strive to peak during post-season competition. I endorse this proposal and encourage others to do the same!

I support my good friend Lorraine Pratt and Yale Hockey players past and present in their wish to have equal footing with men's Ivy Sports that have tournaments to qualify for the Ivy League. Such tournaments give more visibility to the Ivy League, help with recruitment and add to the overall experience of our athletes. Just do it!

Our daughter, Amy R Fowler, is head women's FH coach at Dartmouth College and let me say an Ivy League FH tournament would be the "icing on the cake" for this
team of excellent FH players and coaching staff!
The Ivies use to have a tournament years ago only to have Princeton decide they were the "best" why push it.b Some way or some how, whatever, Princeton made the tourney go away.
Now it's time to bring that tournament back so the players and coaches of lower seeded teams can have that awesome feeling of, yes, winning against 2nd or 1st seeded teams.
Get onboard people and let's "Go for it"!
Thank you.
Judy Fowler, Amy's #1 fan and her Mother

I never understood why the Ivy League did not have a championship tournament. Yes, not having a tournament made every conference game even that much more important to win, but that also meant ONE loss could ruin your chance of winning the league and making the NCAA tournament, deflating team morale and potentially ruining an entire season.
This needs to be changed. When I was a player, I would have done anything to have been given the opportunity to have an Ivy League tournament, but we were never given that opportunity. If there is anything I can do now, as Columbia alumna, to change that, I will do it. Hopefully, signing this petition is the first step.

Why should all other leagues have a post season tournament and the Ivy League not? Is this discrimination against the smartest athletes?

My suite mates freshman year were field hockey players. I will forever be impressed by their dedication, discipline, drive, and love for the game. Through season highs and lows, Ken & Jelly never once bemoaned their decision to pursue the sport at the collegiate level; they took on the challenge and are two of the brightest, warmest, funniest, and impressive individuals I will have the pleasure of knowing. These girls, along with their fantastic team, should be recognized for their season(s) long efforts with an Ivy Tourney ❤️
