Girls Field Hockey Defeats Westhill

by Annie Sullivan

The Girls Field Hockey team played Westhill on Wednesday, November 6^th, dominating their opponents with a shutout. The Blue Wave came out weak at the beginning, but after Coach Mo Minicus called a timeout, they stepped up their game. Sophomore Georgia Cassidy made the first goal, and it was quickly followed by a goal by sophomore Marissa Baker. After the two goals, the team began to get into their groove. Senior Danika Hornick had many great saves during the second half of the game and senior Molly Reigel made many stops on defense.

In the second half, senior Libby Feingold scored twice and senior Eliza Wizinsky added another goal to the scoreboard.  With fifteen minutes left in the game, a Westhill player got by all of the Darien defenders on the right side of the field, sprinting towards the empty circle with all of the Darien players trying to catch up to her.  Junior Erinn Ravosa came in from the left, and was able to stop the break away. 

After the game, Ravosa said, “It was a great win! We are all so proud of each other and look forward to our game on Friday!”
