Varsity Field Hockey vs. Loomis at Loomis

The Girls in Green headed south on I-91 for a matchup with Loomis, a team that always presents a midseason challenge and this afternoon’s match proved to be just that.  The DA squad controlled the ball early and Haddad ’12 scored a gritty goal 9 minutes in to the first half.  The game continued to be evenly balanced with both sides finding scoring opportunities but strong goal-tending on both ends found goals to be hard to come by.  DA controlled the midfield but LC had their chances and played with determination on their home turf wearing pink in honor of Play 4 the Cure, a national field hockey effort to increase awareness of breast cancer and early prevention.  The second half saw balanced play until late in the game when Gahagan ’12 found the back of the net on a corner play with a few minutes remaining in the match.  Team Green walked away with a well earned victory and look forward to welcoming a strong Westminster squad to Rowland Turf this coming Wednesday.
