J h, so h . , me Hockettes Hammer SHUCOH Although the girls' field hockey team fell prey to the more established teams in the league, their spirit and determina- tion led them to victory in one of the biggest upsets of the season when they defeated previously unbeaten Saucon Val- ley by a 3-1 score. The Panthers scored first giving the Knightettes a scare but consecutive goals by Jamie Gold, Lori Sweet, and Holly Miller wrapped up the win. Although victories were hard to come by most of the games were close, two of them ending in scoreless ties. In future years if the offense catches up to the defense our hockey team will be right in the thick of the race for the championship. Six graduating seniors will have to be replaced: Mary Alice Ko- han, Lori Sweet, Jacqui Blackman, Chris Starner, Sandy Guerro, and Linda Groner. ,. - ,, 0 , , . 'ju .K Qgfflf ,, fg1l-124' Q ' 2?
