BLOOMSBURG, Pa. – Head coach Nikki Hartranft and the Bloomsburg University field hockey team recently announced its 18-game schedule for the upcoming 2022 season.
 
The Huskies are coming off an 8-10 season and will open up the year with seven of their first nine games on the road.

The Huskies then play two straight games in South Carolina as the squad takes on Newberry and Coker on Sept. 3 and Sept. 5 before returning home for their home opener against New Haven on Sept. 9. Bloomsburg's first home game against New Haven will also be the team's Suicide Prevention Game. 
 
After the team's first home game of 2022, the Huskies will have another two-game road stretch against out-of-state opponents. This time, the team heads to New York to take on Pace (Sept. 16) and St. Thomas Aquinas (Sept. 18) in non-conference games. The Huskies' road trip will be followed up by a home game the following weekend when the team hosts Frostburg State on Sept. 24.
