Led by captains Avery Didden (VI), Josie Jahng (VI), and Margot Present (VI), the team has held an even record as they head into county games later this month. Despite graduating a strong senior class, many players are stepping up and taking advantage of the newly-open opportunities. Didden addressed this development by saying, \u201cthis first month, we have been getting back into the swing of our play and re-bonding as a team again after the summer.\u201d By focusing on fundamentals during each practice, \u201csuch as stick skills, as well as game-like positioning,\u201d everyone on the team has greatly improved their play in recent games. This growth was clearly highlighted in a recent Homecoming game against Pennington; the team won 7-0 and six different players scored. The players are optimistic about the rest of the season, with important games against Basking Ridge High School, Bridgewater-Raritan High School and Hunterdon Central High School coming up. Didden noted that \u201ceveryone on the team this year is very committed, and we know this intensity is going to take us far, especially during those big games and tournament time!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Josie Jahng &#8217;19 The girls\u2019 varsity field hockey team is off to a solid start.
