Field hockey fell to the undefeated Springbrook Blue Devils, 3-0, in their season opener Sept. 13, bringing their record to 0-1.
The Vikes’ offense had a difficult time maintaining position at the start of the game and never got the momentum it needed to win.
Attacker Krishna Jaitly had a strong shot on goal, one of the few offensive plays of the night. The Blue Devils’ first goal came on a one-on-one play against the Whitman goalie seven feet from the net.
Entering halftime, Springbrook led 1-0, but soon scored another goal as a result of miscommunication within the Viking defense.
With just over four minutes left to play, the Devils scored their final goal of the night, bringing the score to 3-0.
The girls face the 1-0 Sherwood Warriors Sept. 15.
