COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Five former field hockey players are participating in a series of test matches between the United States and the Ireland National Team in Stanford, Calif. The five-game series with Ireland serves as the final domestic tune-up for the Stars & Stripes before leaving for the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Auckland, New Zealand, March 18-28. The US will look to sweep the series on Saturday, Jan. 16.
Former All-Americans Dina Rizzo ('02), team captain Kate Kauffman-Beach ('00) and Kelli Smith ('00) are members of the US team and have helped the squad to the four wins.
