The Varsity Field Hockey team will rise to the challenge. Rise, our theme for the season, motivates us to intensify and literally rise to the occasion. Coming off a losing season last year, and multiple injuries, this year continues to be a rebuilding year, but our season has started off to a great start! We have won all our out of conference scrimmages except one and have a one to one in conference record so far. We have already improved from last year, at least tripling the shots we scored last year already.

This year, we have all stepped up our game, and the IAAM A conference will be a tight race for the winning title. Any team can win, and it depends day by day, game by game. The rankings of teams change almost every day.

As a team, we have bonded even more than we ever have. We go out to dinner a fair amount, we aspire to go to college games, go laser tagging and even go to Hershey Park! As we grow as a team, it is important we stay focused on each game and play to our greatest intensity, rather than playing to the level of the other team. It is going to be hard to compete with the top teams that won last year, but with our determination, we can go far and give them a great competition

We have improved so much! Our drives are much faster and stronger, our goals are more precise, and our passes are crisp and to our teammates. Check the schedule on the website, and I hope to see you at one of our games! Go Blazers!
