The field hockey team played a game against our rival – the Edison Chargers – Wednesday, October 19, on Baron’s home field.
The varsity team played strong and hard in the first half of the game and pushed through to half-time at 1-0, Barons in the lead. Unfortunately, in the second half of the game, Edison scored once, making it a tie at 1-1. The teams went into 10 minutes of overtime with seven players on seven players. Through the intense overtime session, both teams came close, but neither scored, finalizing the score to 1-1. Unfortunately, JV lost, the score at 0-3.
And in the same week, the Lady Barons played the Westminster Lions. Barons was scored on immediately in the first half, but gave it back in less than 10 minutes. The score at half-time was 1-1. In the second half, the Lions scored again, and the results ended at a Fountain Valley loss of 1-2. JV played afterwards and they fought hard and scored a victory over Westminster. The winning prize was a shut-out score of 3-0.
The Westminster game is the third to last game of the Fountain Valley Field Hockey season, and then if our Barons can make it, the LAFHA playoffs. Keep playing hard and end the season strong ladies!
