Six women pleaded guilty Monday to hazing for their roles in a boozy college field hockey initiation that left an 18-year-old hospitalized with a blood-alcohol level more than four times the legal limit.
The six current and former Frostburg State University field hockey players were each fined $300, given suspended 60-day jail terms and placed on a year's probation.
The state dropped second-degree assault charges; hazing carries a maximum sentence of six months and a $500 fine.
On Dec. 3, the victims were urged to drink so much beer and liquor that one was hospitalized with a 0.365 percent blood-alcohol level, court documents showed. The freshmen also were pelted with flour, ice and eggs, and made to sit in their own vomit and urine, according to court documents.
