PITTSGROVE – Freshman Morgan DuBois scored her first career goal late in the first quarter Monday to send Schalick on its way to a 3-1 victory over Overbrook in TCC Diamond Division field hockey action.
When DuBois scored with 2:51 left in the quarter, it provided the Cougars with the unique distinction of having every non-goalie on their roster score at least one goal this season. With the contributions of four JV players to the scoring rolls, 18 players overall have scored for the Cougars this season.
The most players to score in a season previous was 15 last year, but never more than 13 in any other year of coach Heather Cheesman’s tenure. Even when they scored a school-record 118 goals in 2024 only 11 players scored.
They put a big dent in the milestone with 10 players scoring in a 11-0 win over Salem. They had eight players score in wins over Pennsville and Deptford.
Paisley Warner and Luci Virga scored for the Cougars in the second quarter. Overbrook scored with 27.4 seconds left, ending a stretch of 205 minutes, 5 seconds of shutout field hockey
The win was the Cougars’ fourth in a row and snapped the Rams’ five-game winning streak. It also was the Cougars’ 16th straight win over the Rams going back to 2013.

WEST DEPTFORD – After falling three goals behind in the first half, Schalick rediscovered its mojo after halftime and rallied for four goals to earn a 4-4 tie with West Deptford.
The Cougars (10-3-2) fell behind 3-0 in the first half on three “preventable” goals, then scored four goals in the first 20 minutes of the second half to get even.
Olivia Vanacker and recently crowned Homecoming queen Kyleigh Cutler pulled the Cougars within 3-2, but the Eagles went back up 4-2. Macy Saul made it a one-goal game again with her first career goal and Karlie Bakley got the equalizer.
Schalick keeper Eve Berger made two big saves in overtime to keep the Eagles (5-10-1) from getting the game-winner; she had 17 saves in the match. The Cougars hit the post twice in extra time. Kassady Sickler hit the outside of one and Cutler looked to have it won but hit the post on a breakaway.
“It was difficult to see them start off so slow and give up the goals that we gave up,” Cougars coach Will Kemp said. “I think the halftime talk was exactly what they needed. I think the girls kind of reminded themselves about who they truly are today and what they actually need to do to get back to the level they observe of themselves.
“Their thought process and their expectations of themselves today really came back out the way they actually went back into the second half and performed well. For the most part it came down to them. They were able to go and change the momentum in the game and they had that championship mindset towards the end.”
