NEWBERRY — Newberry College women’s field hockey team have four players named to the South Atlantic Conference preseason teams.

Junior forward Emma Westbrook, senior forward Tamsin Bangert and sophomore forward Parker Keeler were named to the first team. Sophomore midfielder Payton Keeler was named to the second team ahead of the 2024 season. As a team, the Wolves were picked to finish second in the preseason polls that were released on August 22.

Last season, the Wolves dominated by going 14-4 and 11-3 in the conference before falling 1-0 in the championship game of the SAC tournament to Limestone. They return majority of their starters and will look to avenge last season’s championship loss by hopefully securing the SAC title. Their season opens up on Sept.5 at Setzler Field against Coker. Game time is set to start at 6:00 p.m.
