Come and join CACNE as we greet the Cal Women's Field Hockey team as they pass through Boston on their East Coast road trip. Coach Onstead will be talking a bit about her program in general and also give us an update on the recent changes in the athletic department. I encourage all of you to come out, meet the players, and represent our group well.
Also, our usual football halftime food will be served at this event, so come by the game an hour early to partake with us and take part in this great and unique experience.
