    Athletics Fields

    Nestled along the banks of the Sandy River, UMF’s Prescott Field, which includes the Bob Leib Soccer Field, is the home field for many UMF varsity athletics teams: women’s field hockey, women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s softball. It is also the home pitch for UMF’s men’s and women’s rugby club teams and the co-ed ultimate disc club team. In addition, Prescott Field is where many UMF outdoor intramural sports are played: flag football, softball and more. Prescott Field is also used by the Farmington Recreation Dept. for youth sports and UMF’s youth sports camps. Nearby is Farmington’s Hippach Field, home to the UMF men’s baseball team.
