ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. – Head Coach Jessica Lanham, who starts her 10th season coaching the St. Mary's College of Maryland field hockey program this fall, dropped the 2025 schedule. The 16-match schedule will give Seahawk Nation eight chances to catch the Seahawks in person at the Jamie L. Roberts (JLR) Stadium.
 
St. Mary's College, the 2024 United East Conference tournament champion, will take on four participants from the 2024 NCAA Division III Field Hockey Championship Tournament, three conference tournament champions, and two league tournament runners-up.
 
The Seahawks ended 2024 by making their second straight (second overall) appearance in the NCAA Tournament. SMCM claimed both the United East regular-season and tournament championship titles in its first year competing in the United East. Additionally, they recorded their fourth straight undefeated conference record, going 22-0 over the past four conference regular seasons.
 
NON-CONFERENCE SCHEDULE
It's 'home sweet home' for St. Mary's College through its first three games of the season as they welcome Sewanee: The University of the South (Aug. 30), Virginia Wesleyan University (Sept. 3), and Bridgewater (Va.) College (Sept. 6). Sewanee and Bridgewater both advanced to the semifinals of the Collegiate Field Hockey Conference and Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Tournaments, respectively, while Virginia Wesleyan was an ODAC quarterfinalist.
 
The Seahawks then hit the road for their next three contests, facing Goucher College (Sept. 10), Salisbury University (Sept. 13), and Randolph-Macon College (Sept. 17). Salisbury finished 2024 as a national semifinalist and the Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference champion.
 
Back at the JLR, SMCM will square off against York College of Pennsylvania, the 2024 MAC Commonwealth Conference tournament champion, on Sept. 20 before taking on Stevenson University on Sept. 24. York (Pa.) completed last year's campaign with an appearance in the NCAA Tournament Second Round while Stevenson advanced to the semifinals of the MAC Commonwealth Tournament.
 
St. Mary's College heads south to Raleigh, N.C., to face Shenandoah University and Wittenberg University on the campus of Meredith College on Sept. 27-28. Shenandoah, the 2024 ODAC tournament champion, made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament while Wittenberg was a semifinalist in the North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament.
 
The Seahawks remain on the road with contests at Immaculata University on Oct. 8 and their first United East match of the season on Oct. 11. Immaculata was the tournament runner-up for the Atlantic East Conference last year.
 
Christopher Newport University will be SMCM's final non-conference match-up on Oct. 22 in Newport News, Va. CNU advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament as the C2C Tournament runner-up.

Lancaster Bible kicks off conference play for St. Mary's College as they travel to Lancaster, Pa., on Oct. 11. The Seahawks continue league action at the JLR against Penn State Harrisburg on Oct. 15 and Cedar Crest College on Oct. 18 for Hawktoberfest. Penn State Harrisburg wrapped up its season in the semifinals of the United East Tournament after being ousted by SMCM, 2-0.
 
SMCM's final game of the regular season will be home against Wilson College on Oct. 25 following its matchup at Christopher Newport. Wilson also ended its season as a league semifinalist.
