Field hockey players are seeking to redeem themselves after a difficult season last fall. Contributing to the losing season were injuries to several key players including alumni Ingrid Hong and Risha Shah.
“Our main goal is to beat our record last year, since we did not do too well,” said junior Erin Norris.
Norris added that players have grown stronger and are ready to face the upcoming season together.
“We want to win as a team,” Norris said. “This season, we look a lot better in terms of our skill level, and this should hopefully help us in getting far.”
The team is comprised of mainly juniors and seniors, and a few sophomores. Norris believes that the difference in ages only benefits the team.
“I think the diversity of the grade groups should help us on the field, since each person has different strengths,” she said.
The team’s first game is on Sept. 17 against Westmont High School.
