Fall Sports Preview: Varsity and JV Field Hockey

by Colleen Britain

Is this going to be the year that the Field Hockey makes it to the finals? The last three seasons have started with hopes of making it all the way, but for the last three years that hope has ended in the “Final Four” round. This year the question has intensified due to the loss of seven seniors, five of whom were starters. This year the team has gained ten freshmen, including two girls who have never played before.

When asked how the team looks this year, varsity Coach Connolly said, “I am very pleased with how quickly the team is coming together this year. As always it is hard losing the seniors from the previous season but there are certain players who have really stepped up to the plate.” Already the team has a winning record, with five wins and three loses. If this is any indication of how the rest of the year is going to go, this could finally be the year the team makes the finals.
