Player’s Quote:

“I started playing field hockey in the ninth grade and immediately developed a passion for the sport. Throughout my four seasons on varsity, our team has always been a strong contender in the state playoffs. Though we are faced with several tough competitors, I believe we have a strong chance of making it to the state championship this year as our team is the strongest it has ever been.”

Coach’s Quote:

“She is without a doubt one of our toughest players. She’s always where she needs to be on the field and never backs away from a challenge. She’s a lead contributor on both ends of our penalty corners and never misses a beat. Her leadership is top notch and will definitely help guide our team in the state tournament.”
