The Rhodes College Field Hockey team were back on the road to Danville this weekend. On September 28, 2024, they played their first CFHC Conference play against the Centre College Colonels. After a rigorous contest between tough opponents the Lynx fell in a 0-1 loss to Centre College. This competitive match showcased the skill and hard work of both teams. Unfortunately, the game against the Lincoln Memorial University Railsplitters was cancelled due to weather inclement. We send our support to LMU field hockey and all those affected.
