WESTON, Mass. – Annie Villare, entering her second year as head coach of the Regis College field hockey team, has announced that four student-athletes have made deposits with the school, confirming their commitment to the field hockey program starting in Fall 2019.

"We are extremely excited for the four individuals of the 2023 class to join our team this fall. The current team has put in tremendous work in the weight room and on the field this past spring to develop their strength and skills, and it is evident the incoming class has already bought in to what we are building as a program. We will look to this class to develop the team's attacking play and scoring opportunities. Collectively, their athleticism, hustle, and determination will make an immediate mark on our program," said Villare.
