ROME – Traveling out of section to play foreign teams isn’t something that happens often in Section IV high school field hockey – but when Greene does, they simply dominate the tournament.
Winning the 2017 Rome Free Academy field hockey tournament, and scoring 10 goals while giving up none on the weekend – the 2017 lady Trojans are marching.
“We played hard, the first night we were a little off. Our passing and receiving weren’t as crisp. Saturday, we were much better,” said Greene head coach Christine McCabe. “We could’ve finished more, we had a lot of opportunities that we didn’t capitalize on. Between the two days we have five different girls scoring and others assisting. We had a lot of corners, scoring three goals on corners. It was nice to play out of section so we could see different things that we need to work on and keep improving.”
On Friday, September 29, Greene took on Liverpool, in what turned out to be a 6-0 beat down by the Trojans.
In the win – which saw Greene storm to a 4-0 halftime – McKenna Sergi and Claire Moxley each scored two goals apiece. Leah Decker and Chrissy Boeltz each added their own goal while Jessica Unkel added one assist.
