WEST WINFIELD – Following devastating losses in their home varsity field hockey tournament, the Marauders field hockey squad packed their bags and headed to Mt. Markham high school for what ultimately proved to be their first win of the year at 2-0.

“Hard work and hard knocks finally paid off. We have been improving on many levels each game and were rewarded with a solid win tonight. It was a great team effort,” said S-E head coach Sheila Cooman.

Mt. Markham and S-E would battle in the first half of what seemed to be an evenly matched game as the halftime score read 0-0. However, the offensive side of S-E would finally catch up to the hard work the defense had been putting in the first half, as a two score second half lifted the lady Marauders to the road win.
