Fockey 2015

I am sad to say that my 6-year field hockey career has come to an end this past weekend. Having said that, I have never been so proud to be on a team, due to the tireless hard work of the girls I've been lucky to be surrounded by for the past four months. Our only regular season losses were to state champions of Maryland and Virginia, and we were ISL regular season and tournament champs. Our ISL Championship game went into triple overtime, with our girls coming out victorious over rival Episcopal down the street. Then, when it came to the VISAA Virginia State tournament, we beat #2 seed St. Catherine's first round in another stomach-jerking game, that we won in double overtime. Semi-finals down in Virginia Beach last Friday brought tough competition as we played the #1 seed, Trinity Episcopal, the future state champs. While we didn't make it to the state championship, the heart and hustle throughout the entire season combined with the improvement of our team overall will undoubtedly make this field hockey season and team my favorite, ending Katie Wood and I's senior year in the best way possible. To go out with our team catch phrase, Let's Go!!!
