On Wednesday afternoon, Deerfield Girls Hockey traveled to take on rival Choate. We opened the scoring on the power play, with Olivia Austen ‘27 scoring a beautiful goal off of a great pass from Sophie Frost ‘26. Choate tied the score in the second, but we re-took the lead after Ava Giroux ‘26 tipped home a Brady Wierl ‘26 shot (Keira Austen ‘26 also got an assist). Despite lots of chances in the third we couldn’t extend our lead, but Campbell Krotee ‘25 shut the door in goal the rest of the way for the Big Green. Peyton Wierl ‘26, in her first game back from injury, was the hard hat recipient. Many thanks to the Cleaves family for the pizza after the game! Next up is a long road trip to New Hampton on Friday night.
