BCC

The Field Hockey team (3—0) triumphed 3—1 over the rival BCC Barons (1—2) Sept. 13, shutting down the Barons with dominant defense and strong team play.

The Barons got off to a hot start in the first half, but the game calmed down and the Vikings began to dominate as the half went on. Senior attacker Clare Cuniff continued her high-scoring season with two goals. Senior Midfielder Zara Memon added a goal of her own, allowing the Vikes to secure the win.

“The team played really well over all,” Senior Captain Claire Hisle said. “BCC came out very strong in the first half but everyone really stepped up and gave it their all. We have a very strong team.”

The Vikes are confident for the rest of the season after a good start and a big win over their rival. Although they want to act confident, the team wants to take the season game by game and not get cocky.

“Right now we are feeling good about our season but are trying to keep a level head,” Memon said. “We still have some very important contests coming up, and we need to continue to prepare for those.”
