With four games under its belt in the 2023 season, No. 6 Virginia field hockey looks primed to take a leap forward, even as the standard for the program is remarkably high.

If you’re like me and have just completed a summer of Netflix binges and LinkedIn stalking, I am sure you are familiar with the phrases “I am excited to announce…,” “I’m thrilled to accept…” or even “Congratulations to [insert name] on starting a new position at [insert basic company].” Everyone is wondering about everyone — are you working?
