In 2007, the Girls Field hockey team participated in the Championship game on November 17th for the first time since 1987. In the semi-final game, the girls lost to Sussex Tech 2-1, but then the next day the girls were informed that Sussex tech had played with an ineligeable player, thus letting Brandywine take their place in the finals.
