It’s hard to believe we are entering the last week of regular season play already. What a season of field hockey it has been. Smyrna continues to dominate, remaining undefeated all season. Cape and Smyrna knocked off Delmar and D1 teams that have been a pleasant surprise are Milford and Odessa. I hope Odessa has enough strength of schedule to …
This week is exciting for high school field hockey as they take to the fast astroturf at Rullo Stadium at the University of Delaware for the Turf Bowl. I don’t expect the top teams in either division to change much in the next two weeks of regular season play. But there are teams that still have six or seven games …
Pink socks, pink turf shoes, pink hair ribbons, pink shirts; we will see a lot of pink in uniforms starting this week and throughout this month as many field hockey teams will wear pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Some schools will play night games under the lights and charge for entrance to their games as a fundraiser …
The Corner Scoop – Week 4 Field Hockey Top 10 The headline news of the week comes from the Smyrna Eagles. The Eagles met the Delmar Wildcats who came into the matchup with a 120 game win streak, three Henlopen Conference Titles and seven D2 State Titles. The last time Delmar lost a game was October 22, 2016 to Cape …
There is one less undefeated field hockey team tonight. The Milford Bucs lost their first game of the season at Cape’s Champions Stadium on a rainy, windy night. It was less than ideal field hockey conditions but Cape delivered on the slippery turf. The game was played and won in the midfield and Milford just couldn’t get in the groove. …
Week three brings the matchup we have all been waiting for, the top teams in the Henlopen North and Henlopen South as the undefeated Delmar Wildcats visit the undefeated Smyrna Eagles on Tuesday Sept. 26. Both were State Champs in their respective divisions last season. I suspect these two will play for the Henlopen Conference Title at the end of …
By Kevin Eickman Milford field hockey coach Andrea McPike has her team off to a 5-0 start to begin the season. This past week the Buccaneers played two different games. The first would be a 4-0 victory over a 0-4 Dover team, the second would be a 4-3 win over Sussex Academy. At first glance, the home shutout against …
Milford remains undefeated after yesterday’s matchup against Sussex Academy (SAAS). These two teams have played the last three seasons, with the Seahawks coming out on top but this time, Milford turned the table. The Seahawks and Bucs made the game interesting trading goals all day long but Milford would hold out and come away with the win to remain undefeated …
Week two of the field hockey season is here! Scheduling quirks happen and we will see that this week. There are teams going full out this week with three games that will test their stamina. While others only play once and will get time to rest their legs. The goalkeepers have been tested across the state and the offensive …
These two teams saw each other just a little less than a year ago in the Division 1 State Field Hockey Championship game where Smyrna bested the Vikings 2-1 in overtime. The two went head to head in Henlopen North action last night. The Smyrna Eagles, Coached by Loveita Moffett and the Cape Henlopen Vikings coached by Kate Austin sent …
