Athletics Program Change
Thursday, February 05, 2009
LANGHORNE, PA – Philadelphia Biblical University
Director of Athletics Drew Watson announced today that the Crimson Eagle field
hockey program will be discontinued as an intercollegiate sport, effective
immediately.
“The University reached this difficult decision after
considering all factors involved,” said Watson. “We have been struggling
to generate the interest and recruiting classes needed to maintain a
competitive program. As the University attempts to contain costs during
the next year it became apparent that maintaining a commitment to field hockey
would be unwise under these conditions.”
Watson and Assistant Director of Athletics, Julie Brubaker,
met with the field hockey student-athletes to announce the decision
today.
