The New Hope-Solebury Girls Field Hockey team claimed their title as district champions on Nov. 1, 2018. The team faced off against Sacred Heart at Lower Moreland High School and won with a final score of 2-0. Sara Hayden, a junior, scored the first goal off a pass from Lilly Smith at the end of the first half.
The title of district champs is not new to Girls Field Hockey. Last year, they defeated Gwynedd-Mercy; however, one new quality of this year’s team is that there are no senior players. The girls are very proud to have been so successful this year without the help of the 12th grade.
Valentina Waschbusch said, “It’s kind of scary not having any strong seniors, but the juniors enjoy being the only upperclassmen.”
When asked if she thinks the team will win States, Valentina said: “We are staying very hopeful and we will do our best to make it as far as we can.”
After districts, the girls went into the first round of states with a strong attitude, coming out with a win of 2-0 against Northwestern Lehigh. With an almost undefeated record this year. Unfortunately, in the state quarterfinals, the girls lost 2-0 to Oley Valley.
Sophomore Sam Curtis said, “We had a great season this year, and we are even more hopeful for the next upcoming season.”
The girls are very proud of what they accomplished this season and looking forward to maintaining their title during their next season.
