EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State field hockey is preparing for its nine-day excursion in South Africa for high-level training and competition. Additionally, the team will have the opportunity to visit some of the country's important historical sites, landmarks, including a safari and ferry ride to Cape Point.
"After months of planning, the Spartans can't wait to head to South Africa today. This is going to be an experience of a lifetime for our student-athletes and staff,' said head coach Helen Knull. "We will be playing three games in and around Cape Town. We will be learning about the history and the traditions of the country, give back in the local community and enjoy the beauty of the country. We will be flying our Spartan flag everywhere we go and are looking forward to representing Michigan State in South Africa."
The Spartans are scheduled to play three matches during their time in South Africa (Bishop Diocesan, Somerset West Hockey Club and Stellenbosch).
