East Stroudsburg University has pulled out of this weekend's Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference field hockey championships due to an investigation of hazing involving alleged "team member participation," the university reports in a news release.
The university is also investigating "possible staff involvement."
"East Stroudsburg University does not condone hazing and takes hazing allegations seriously," university President Robert J. Dillman says in the release. "Hazing is an illegal and dangerous activity and is unacceptable in all forms. Student-athletes at ESU deserve the best possible experience and should be protected from participating in individual or team-based hazing practices."
Read the university's complete statement about the investigation.
Friday's PSAC semifinal, the university's first field hockey playoff game since 2002, against Shippensburg University will be forfeited. East Stroundsburg, 14-6, will also not participate in the NCAA Division II championships.
