The 2011 field hockey season marks the first inclusion of Shenandoah University as a competing ODAC program. The Hornets are slated to become a full-time member of the ODAC in all sponsored sports for the 2012-13 academic year, but join the league's ranks in field hockey and men's and women's indoor and outdoor track for 2011-12.
Roanoke (2-13, 1-6) enjoys the return of its all-conference selection from 2010 in All-ODAC Second Team midfielder Lee Sheldon (1g, 3a, 8 def. saves). Goalkeeper Cristina Scichilone (5.08gaa, 152sv) returns to her familiar post, and leading score Lianna Hachborn (5g) is back in Salem for a second year.
