There was a big ceremony to welcome Field Hockey.

Former Lacrosse Player a Hero
Former Belmont Abbey men’s lacrosse player Corey Cooke was honored Tuesday for heroism, one day after he and another off-duty police officer rescued several people from a burning building.
Tailgate
Before the Women’s Volleyball game v. Southern Wesleyan, Student Activities had a tailgate.
We even hosted the Band Army Dash Ten who performed for us out in the quad.
They were fantastic!
We love red here.
Go Abbey and go America!
