Murphy Mellis Field



All sessions will be held on the state-of-the-art Murphy-Mellis Field. This facility features a turf playing surface and one of the country’s premier watering systems. Transportation will be provided to and from the field and residence halls.

Murphy Mellis Field was officially dedicated on Oct. 23, 2005. The facility is devoted to field hockey and includes a brand new, state-of-the-art playing surface by Sportexe, a storage and meeting facility, watering system, new stands, scoreboard and camera platforms.

The field is named after Mel Mellis and Susan Murphy, who contributed the lead gift in the project.
