FIELD HOCKEY
SCHALICK 5, TRITON 3: Phoebe Alward got her junior season off to the same kind of start she did as a sophomore. She had a hat trick in last year’s season opener at Gloucester Catholic and had a hat trick Tuesday as the Cougars came out aggressive and opened the 2024 season with a victory on the road.
Ava Scurry, who had 13 goals and 17 assists last year, had two goals and two assists against the Mustangs (0-2). The Cougars pumped 31 shots on goal and led wire-to-wire.
Keeper Lydia Gilligan also had a milestone game. She recorded her 200th career save during the game and now has 211 in her three seasons guarding the cage.
