Fox/Hound Field Hockey Goes to the Hounds!
An enthusiastic crowd braved the chilly weather on Saturday, November 19, to cheer from the sidelines of Turf Field for the Foxes and Hounds in a beloved tradition that includes a bit of pomp and spectacle and a lot of friendly rivalry.
Though the cheering was loud and proud on both sides and both teams played with great heart and skill, Captains Eva C. ’24 and Julia K. ’24 led the Hounds to a 3-0 Big Game victory, with two goals from Julia and one from Flora W. ’25. Congratulations, Hounds!

The day’s festivities started when the Middleburg Hunt was welcomed at Covert with hot cider and biscuits before setting off. New Girl Runnings followed, and as legend foretells, predicted the Big Game win when Hound Bronte B. ’26 touched the top of the gazebo! Shortly after, the Foxes triumphed in Little Game with a 2-1 win.
For more than a century, the tradition of Fox/Hound has been an integral and cherished part of Foxcroft, as evidenced by the number of students, parents, alumnae, and parents of alumnae who came to cheer dressed in their team colors and donning their buttons. While the Hounds ultimately were victorious as the final whistle blew at Big Game, the spirit of "true friends ’til the end" prevailed with a day of celebrations for both teams — and plenty of friendship and healthy competition to go around.
