January 4, 2021 - Re-dedicated to Dr. Charlotte E. Smith on October 25, 2008, this lighted, artificial turf field is home to the field hockey and lacrosse teams.
In the summer of 2021, the Charlotte E. Smith Field turf was renovated with a brand-new state of the art turf and watering system for the 2021-22 season.
Pegged as one of the most scenic competition sites in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, Charlotte E. Smith Field lays between stunning, picturesque hillside of carved rocks.
Dr. Charlotte E. Smith served Lock Haven State (Teachers) College for 29 years (1944-1973) as a professor in the Department of Health and Physical Education.
At a time when there were few athletics opportunities for women, Charlotte Smith coached basketball (1944-67; 89-33) and initiated and coached varsity teams in field hockey (1945-72; 152-36-19) and lacrosse (1970-73; 16-1). Upon her retirement in 1973, Lock Haven State College recognized Dr. Smith's extraordinary service by naming a field in her honor.
