Throughout the rest of the game, Academy went on a 7-0 run with goals from Maren S., Alex P., Alicia L., Sydney J., Katie N., and two from Bebe S. 

“It felt great to get a big win like this while also having the opportunity to honor our seniors,” says captain, Caroline M. “The team did an incredible job of coming out and playing Academy field hockey.”
