Bowie, MD (July 15, 2026) — The Chesapeake Baysox are proud to welcome hockey star Lacey Eden to Prince George's Stadium on Friday, July 17, when the Baysox host the Hartford Yard Goats for Women in Sports Night.
An Annapolis, Maryland, native, Eden is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and has represented Team USA at five World Championships, earning two gold and three silver medals. During her career with the Badgers, she became the first woman to win four NCAA national championships. In her final season, she led the nation in scoring and co-captained the Badgers to another title. In June, she was selected fifth overall by PWHL Las Vegas in the 2026 Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) Draft, becoming the first Maryland-born player ever chosen in the PWHL draft. The PWHL is the premier professional women's ice hockey league in North America. The PWHL is owned by Los Angeles Dodgers majority owner Mark and Kimbra Walter alongside tennis legend Billie Jean King and Ilana Kloss.
As part of Women in Sports Night, Eden will throw out a ceremonial first pitch before the game and host a meet-and-greet with fans on the concourse. One complimentary photo will be available to each guest at the meet-and-greet, which Eden will be on hand to sign.
