Last night the varsity field hockey team did it again, battling back and toppling powerhouse Frankford (a historically undefeated team) 2-1. With 5 seconds remaining in the second quarter, Hannah Harrison connected with the back of the cage to tie the score 1-1 at halftime. Back-and-forth action in the third quarter led to a scramble around the cage, with Hannah pushing in the Braves second goal, lifting the lead to 2-1. Our total team effort held off the Bulldog's pressure in the fourth quarter, leading us to victory. Outstanding game girls!
