The almost soccer-style “defend and counterattack” approach may be unorthodox in field hockey, but for Severna Park, it’s been devastatingly effective over the years.
With that mindset in tow, the Falcons appear poised for yet another run in 2024.
Through their first five games of the season, the Falcons are 3-2, those two losses coming to 4A title contenders Broadneck and Crofton, each by a single goal.
In total, Severna Park has conceded three goals. They’ve scored just seven; other than a 4-0 win over Southern, they’ve played four one-goal games.
The Falcons started the season with a 1-0 win over St. Mary’s on September 10, in which Emerson Clark scored on a rebound for the game’s only goal, making the 28 saves from Cameron Lowman stand up in victory. Then came the win over Southern, keyed by a Kelsey Rowe hat trick, followed by a narrow 2-1 loss to Crofton in which a potential Severna Park goal rang off the pipe.
Ava Zimmerman scored the only goal in overtime of the team’s 1-0 win over South River, before succumbing 1-0 to Broadneck in the fourth quarter on a redirected shot.
The Falcons currently top the 3A East Region I standings on win percentage on South River.
