Winston-Salem, N.C. -
The Wake Forest field hockey team will play host to the U.S. National Team in an exhibition game Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. at Kentner Stadium on the campus of Wake Forest University.
Tickets are $5, available at the gate only, beginning two hours before game time on the date of the game. Tickets are free for Wake Forest students, faculty and staff. There will be halftime giveaways and autograph signings after the game.
Forward Jenny Everett, who had her Wake Forest jersey (#1) retired last fall, will be returning to Kentner Stadium as a member of the U.S. National Team that is preparing for the 2002 World Cup. The all-time scoring leader in Wake Forest history, Everett, is a two-time All-American and two-time Academic All-American who played for the Demon Deacons from 1997-2000 and still holds school records for goals in game, season and career. A 23-year-old native of Rutland, Vt., Everett graduated from Wake Forest in the spring of 2001 with a degree in Business. She works as a Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Consultant for Arthur Andersen. Named to the U.S. National Field Hockey Team in March, Everett earned her first International Cap in April.
Wake Forest, coming off a 16-5 season last year and its second straight trip to the Final Four, is 1-1 on the young 2002 season. The Deacons return to regular season action on Sunday when they travel to James Madison to take on the Dukes at 1 p.m.
