DEPOSIT – The Lumberjacks of Deposit – a heavy favorite to advance to the Section IV Class C field hockey finals – fell victim to the crafty Crimson Knights by a score of 2-1.
With a halftime lead of 2-1, the opportunistic Knights marched into the second half confident they could knock off the number two seeded, 16-2 lady Lumberjacks.
Afton took the halftime lead following a strike from Madison Baciuska and Sam Scholier – with an assist coming from McKenzie Hoyt.
Emerging from the halftime break, Afton held their one-point lead throughout the remainder of the game solidifying the win, as they played solid defense, while also getting amazing play from their goalkeeper Jordan Nichols – seven saves on the day.
