Murphy Mellis Field



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.
