Wjnnin Districts Fourteen returning members made this year’s Varsity Field Hockey Team one of the most experienced teams in the Northern District. The girls proved how much skill and expertise they had acquired in the field hockey program by finishing the regular season with a 7-3 district record, thus giving them a second place seat in the Northern District Tourna- ment. The team had a 10 shut out against Robinson in the first round of the tournament, and they proceeded to upset T.C. Williams 2-1 to win the Nor- thern District Title, the first ever ob- tained by Lake Braddock. The girls then advanced to the Northern Regional Tournament where they were defeated by Hayfield in the first round 2-1. Leading scorer Tisha Carey (3), who was voted Best Offensive, Mellisa McNulty (14) and Leila Haack (6) were all exceptional on the offense. Cathy Kerrigan, who was voted Best Defen- sive and Most Valuable Player (1), and Stephanie McKay (20) were standouts on the defense.
