- The Quinnipiac University field hockey team was tabbed to finish sixth in the 2017 BIG EAST Conference Field Hockey Preseason Poll, as announced by the conference on Thursday, Aug. 17, 2017.
- Quinnipiac will look to replace a pair of All-BIG EAST selections in graduatesSavanna Reilly and Angie King that led a program to a 3-4 record in its first season in its new conference.
- Dayna Barlow (Port Elizabeth, South Africa) and Michelle Federico (Cheshire, Connecticut) were tabbed as co-captains for the upcoming season.
- Barlow is the Bobcats' top returning scorer after logging eight goals and three assists for 19 points, while Federico found the back of the cage four times.
- Lauren Belskie (Hillsborough, New Jersey), Payton Mickey (Lake Forest, Illinois), and Kiera Godusky (Allentown, Pennsylvania) started every game in the backfield a year ago alongside King, with all three logging over 1,100 minutes for the year.
- Belskie totaled three goals and three assists while also posting four defensive saves as Quinnipiac led the country with 21 for the year.
- Mickey also recorded two defensive saves.
- Freshman Alyssa Watson (Homesdale, Pennsylvania) will also provide depth to the Bobcats' defensive unit.
- Barlow has been a mainstay in the Bobcats' midfield, starting all 56 games in which she has played in in three seasons.
- She will be joined in the midfield by UConn transfer Montana Fleming (Delran, New Jersey), Elisa Ruiz Martinez (Madrid, Spain) and Selina Reichert (Lower Hutt, New Zealand).
- Fleming joins the Bobcats as a graduate student after a four-year career with the two-time NCAA National Champion Huskies who also won the last four BIG EAST Championships during her time in Storrs.
- Reichert has started in 17 of the 34 games she has appeared in over her first two seasons.
- Ines Ruiz Martinez (Madrid, Spain), Calla Wilford (Durban, South Africa) andAmanda Blum (Langhorne, Pennsylvania) give the Bobcats depth in the middle.
- Ines totaled a goal and five assists after breaking the Bobcats' line-up and starting in 11 of the 17 games in which she appeared last season.

- Shemo returns for her fifth year at Quinnipiac and has five goals and five assists in three seasons of play after posting career-highs of three goals and four assists for 10 points in 2015.
- Larkin will look to play an expanded role after seeing time in eight games last season while Walmsley joins Quinnipiac after transferring from Missouri State.
