UConn announces dedication of Nancy Stevens Field and Diane Wright Way to honor field hockey coaches
Oct. 16—STORRS — Former UConn head field hockey coaches Diane Wright and Nancy Stevens combined to win five NCAA Division I National Championships, over 900 games, and most importantly, made a positive impact on the lives of countless UConn student-athletes.
To honor the duo's contributions, and to continue the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the landmark federal Title IX legislation, the indelible contributions by Wright and Stevens were marked permanently in two prominent locations prior to Sunday's field hockey game against Boston College.
This road that runs in between Gampel Pavilion and the Werth Family Champions Center and extends to the area in between the Greer Field House and the George J. Sherman Family Sports Complex, will now be known as Diane Wright Way. The Sherman Complex, which is home to the UConn field hockey program, will now be referred to as Nancy Stevens Field at the George J. Sherman Complex.
