Congratulations to the Varsity Field Hockey team on their dominating 4-0 victory over North Warren on Friday. Alaina M. started the scoring trend in the second quarter off of a Hannah H. assist. Alaina returned the favor in the 3rd quarter, assisting Hannah for the second goal. Moments later, Hannah assisted Alaina again. The Braves rounded out their scoring streak when Maddie S. assisted Neveah A. for the team's fourth goal. The Braves' fierce defense held off all Patriots' pressure. Fantastic way to end the season girls, and thank you to all students and staff members who came to support us this season!

The Varsity Field Hockey team bounced back from a 0-2 deficit to end with a 2-2 tie against Frankford yesterday. Jenna S. connected on a long drive to score first for the Braves. Hannah H. pushed in the Braves' second goal for the tie. The Braves defense, led by centerback Charlotte M., held off Frankford’s fourth quarter pressure. Great game girls!
