St. Ursula At Mt. Notre Dame Field Hockey

I got to the Varsity game a bit early and found shade under the lone tree at the end of the field. It became a pretty popular place before the start of the game. The sun was definitely hot and the humidity was not helping things.

The Varsity team played first as there are no lights on the field. So the JV gets stuck playing in whatever light is left. The first game was very intense and ended up going to overtime. The game officially ended in a tie after nobody scored in overtime. A big crowd stuck around to watch the JV teams compete and the level of intensity was the same. Here are some images from the games:

This athlete took a ball to the face\eye during warm-ups yet played the entire game. You could definitely see her eye was swollen but did not look too bruised at first. I am sure by the end of the day it had some nice color to it. Hopefully she suffered no serious injuries.

You can see she did not shy away from any action even after getting hit in warm-ups.





St. Ursula changed jersey's at half to help tell the teams apart.

Ok, so I admit I don't know much about field hockey. But I will say that you got some great shots!
Looks like a good game!
