Martin, TN 38238 1 2011, 2012 • NCAA Tournament Participant: 2011, 2012 SKYHAWK FIELD The University of Tennessee at Martin women’s soccer program has called Skyhawk Field its home since 1998. It is a 120x75 Bermuda pitch with a press box and permanent seating for over 500 fans along the west sideline. Fans also circle the field with trucks, lawn chairs and couches to create a festive atmosphere that is intimidating to opponents. On Nov. 4, 2012, UT Martin provided a bit of history against Austin Peay in the OVC Tournament Championship. In that match, the raucous crowd of 773 fans cheered on the Skyhawks to a thrilling 2-0 victory - passing the program’s all-time record for single-game attendance. In fact, five of the Skyhawks nine home games ranked amongst the top crowds in Skyhawk Field history. Prior to the 2012 season, Skyhawk Field saw the addition of field lights making conditions appropriate for night matches. The first match played under the lights was on Aug. 17, 2012, against Southeastern Conference power Vanderbilt. Although the Skyhawks dropped the match 2-0, the night marked the first of three night games for the Skyhawks in 2012 in addition to hosting the 2012 Ohio Valley Conference Tournament. In the summer of 2010, Skyhawk Field received a massive facelift. New colorful wind screens were also added to give the field a professional exterior look, and new brick barriers were also built around both benches. Another new feature added are a pair of large tents that have been placed over the two adjacent sets of bleachers that sandwich the main bleachers. This provides a comfortable, shady climate for fans of all ages to enjoy. The first match played at Skyhawk Field, was on Sept. 4, 1998, against Ohio Valley Conference foe Tennessee Tech. Although the Skyhawks dropped a tough 1-0 decision in that match, they came roaring back for the first home win in FIELD SKYHAWK program history on their next try - a 2-1 win over OVC opponent • Morehead State on Sept. 12, 1998. Over the years, the Skyhawks have put together a 82-55- 7 record while playing in front of the home crowd. However, UT Martin has enjoyed a tremendous home-field advantage over the last several seasons. Since 2002, the Skyhawks are 79-29-7 in matches played at Skyhawk Field, having lost only 14 matches on their home turf in the last eight seasons. In 2009, the Skyhawks matched the best home start to any season by beginning the year 6-0-0, and ended the season with the highest single-season home winning percentage (.857) in program history. The 2010 squad followed that with a five- match home winning streak, which included shutouts in all five matches and conference wins over Austin Peay, Jacksonville State and Tennessee Tech. SOCCER Skyhawk Field has also been home to the PUMA Skyhawk Invitational from 2002-2007 and 2009, as well as the first round of the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament in 1999, 2003, 2008 and hosted the 2012 Tournament in its’ entirety. 2015 2 OVC CHAMPIONS: 2009, 2012, 2013 • ovc tournament champions SKYHAWK FIELD 2015 DIRECTIONS TO SKYHAWK FIELD From I-24 East (Paducah, Ky.)
