This past weekend, Girls Field Hockey took the field for its first scrimmage of the season against Rivers and Mount St. Charles. The matchup enabled the team to build momentum and showcase its teamwork early on.
Cat Powers ’28, who plays goalie, reflected positively on how the team performed together through the game, emphasizing the unity she noticed both on and off the field.
“I think the team played great. We worked really well as a unit in the scrimmage, which is awesome. From a goalie’s perspective, even though I only played a half, from what I saw on the field and from the sidelines, we worked really well as a team. We could convert, and it was working really well,” said Powers.
Highlighting a particularly memorable moment, Powers shared how stepping into the net during the scrimmage gave her a chance to make an impact and feel the support of her teammates.
“The most memorable moment from the scrimmage was when I saved a shot on a corner, and everybody was hyping me up for that, and it was great. It was really nice and I really appreciated it,” said Powers.
She also noted how the team’s energy and companionship extended beyond individual plays, creating a supportive environment for everyone.
“Every time we’d score a goal, the whole sideline would be cheering and just excited. I really love that because I think it makes it such a good sense of a team. It’s amazing,” said Powers
Reflecting on the progress the team has made in practice and on the field, Powers emphasized the importance of teamwork and shared growth.
“I think after today’s game, we don’t have to worry very much. It was really just a few little details. You can tell we’ve been working hard in practice and as a team, just working together.” said Powers.
Looking forward, Powers expressed excitement about carrying the momentum from this scrimmage into the upcoming games and the season overall.
“For this season, I’m looking forward to the rest of the season with this team. It’s such a great team and such nice people. We did well at our play at our scrimmage, and we have our home opener against Dexter, which I’m excited for. It’s going to be amazing,” said Powers.
Girls Field Hockey will take the field for its home opener against Dexter Southfield next week.
