Field Hockey
Shippensburg Field Hockey has a rich and storied tradition of success that dates back more than a century to the early 1900. It is one of the most decorated and successful sports at Shippensburg University, having won five NCAA Division II National Championships (six national championships overall) and made 15 NCAA Tournament appearances in the last 19 seasons. The 1979 AIAW Division III National Championship won by Field Hockey marked the first national championship won by any team Shippensburg University history.
Head Coach Bertie Landes established SU's modern tradition of field hockey excellence, and brought the university its first NCAA Division II championships in any sport. A National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Hall of Famer, Landes guided the Raiders to a 302-77-1 record in 18 seasons, including 17 PSAC Semifinals appearances and two NCAA Division II National Championships.
Head coach Tara Zollinger, who will enter her sixth season in 2023, has continued that tradition. Zollinger's Raiders have posted an 84-18 record and won three NCAA Division II National Championships in five seasons. Ship Field Hockey most recently won the 2024 PSAC Championship.
Some of the finest student-athletes in school history have suited up for the Field Hockey team, including national players of the year Jazmin Petrantonio, Bre White and Kristina Taylor.
