FV vs. Chaminade 9/25/08

Last night Field Hockey played Chaminade High School at Chaminade's home field. The game started at 6 PM which is unusual, but the two hour long bus ride that the girls had to take to get there helped them to get pumped for the game. Also adding to the excitement of the game was the fact that the girls happened to see Will Smith and Alfonso Ribeiro leaving their sons' football game that took place on the field that the girls played on afterward. With all of this excitement in the air the Lady Barons started from the first blow of the whistle to put everything that they had on the field. Within five minutes Jackie O. a sophomore on the team and a second year letterman scored a goal. The referee took the goal away by saying that a foot foul occurred; however, Jackie answered back by scoring again two minutes later. Throughout the rest of the half, Jackie scored another goal as well as Priya, a senior on the team, and Taylor Merickel, a sophomore. So at the end of the first half the score was 4 to 0 and it remained that way for the rest of the game thanks to the Baron's strong defense and amazing goalie Susie Toumanian. This is the second preseason win in a row that these ladies have had so their preseason record is two wins and three losses. The field hockey girls start league play next week against Westminster High School at Westminster's home field.
