Not Pictured: Meaghan McLaughlin and Olivia Boucher.By Lisa ShallowThe Girls Field Hockey team finished another successful season,wrapping things up with a final game on October 29th and celebratingwith a team banquet on November 12th. Starting with the field hockeycamp in August, the players worked hard over the two month season,developing their field hockey skills and bonding as a team.The total number of players on the team was down somewhat fromprevious years, with just under 30 young ladies participating, resultingin a small bench for substitutions, and a relaxed delineation between theVarsity and JV teams.The girls enjoyed and benefited from the ability to log extra gameminutes and most underclassmen were able to gain valuable experienceplaying in at least a few varsity level games.This fall’s favorable weather allowed the team to complete the fullschedule, playing twelve varsity games and eight junior varsity games,and having only one practice rained out.Additionally, a portion of the team participated in a round-robintournament under the lights on the artificial turf at Camden Catholic HighSchool on October 23rd. In that tournament, the team played against2013 Girls Field Hockeyother Catholic school teams and progressed to the championship game,losing by only one goal in the final minute of the game.It was a winning season, not only based on the overall record, but alsoin view of the improved level of play as individuals and as a team by theseason’s end.Don’tKeep It To YourselfHave an idea for a story or article...perhaps there’s something you’d like to seein the pages of our Good Counsel Courier.Well don’t keep it to yourself... let us know about it.Send me an e-mail todeaconheffernan@comcast.netor call me on my cell 856-905-5019.
