Hard Work FInally Pays Off

Varsity girl's field hockey victorious to Conant, September 22nd.

Defeating Conant 3-0 leaves the Hopkinton varsity girl's field hockey team high and ready to shine.

"We've worked really hard this year," says Karissa Hazen, senior, "And I believe we can only get better."

Coach Connolly prepares the team with a daily workout routine. The girls start with a warm up lap before their two mile run, followed by individual and team skills, and ending with a few rounds of sprints.

The girls have their own routine way of preparing for a game as well.

"To get motivated, we have team spirit, and wear ribbons for each game," says Hannah Durant, junior. "While warming up, we listen to music, and before we play, we read a quote."

The strong, family-like bond the team holds is a great aid to victory. Nothing can seem to shatter their confidence. "Our strongest aspect is our teamwork and perseverance, even when we don't win."
