SPHS Field Hockey Rides Defense To 2-0 Win Over Broadneck

The Falcons field hockey team got off to a quick start, scoring twice in the first half and withstanding shot after shot from Broadneck to win 2-0 on Tuesday, September 21. Junior Ava Drexler provided the spark for the Lady Falcons, scoring the opening goal less than halfway through the first quarter.

“Scoring the first goal gives our team confidence,” Drexler said after the game. “It really boasts our energy, and we play a lot better knowing that we have the lead, and we keep pushing through the rest of the game.”

That boost of energy was apparent when Sydney Rowe extended the lead, scoring on a pass into the circle during a quick counterattack by the Falcons in the second quarter. Broadneck’s defense was unable to set up properly and Rowe was able to slide into the circle on the backside of the defense for a nice goal that gave the Falcons more breathing room going into halftime.

“It’s great to know that our team has the speed and skills to dodge girls on the field and know that we can just dribble the ball in and score without any corners,” Drexler said.
